"This is Miss Cui Wu, Cui Qiong." Liu Yaoyu introduced very dutifully, "The eldest sister married her second brother. She is one year younger than you."
Yu Jiao remembered that Liu Yaozhen married the second son of Cui's family, the Vice Minister of the Secretariat. As expected, children from powerful families mostly date people of the same background.
"This is Miss Shen, Shen Wan." Liu Yaoyu said again.
Yu Jiao and Shen Guan smiled at each other.
Chen Guan did not want to reveal the fact that she knew Yu Jiao, otherwise there would be many people who would want to find out about Yu Jiao's past from her. News spreads quickly in the capital, and there is no shortage of people who flatter others. If they knew that Yu Jiao grew up in a village in the countryside of Qingzhou, those people who valued background would look down on Yu Jiao behind her back.
There was another girl in the pavilion, she was Wei Min, the daughter of the Minister of Justice. Liu Yaoyu pulled Yu Jiao to sit in the pavilion. Miss Song Er and Miss Cui Wu both talked to Yu Jiao with a smile, but Wei Min had a very cold attitude, and seemed to be a little displeased with Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao heard them talking about which shop in Beijing had launched new jewelry, but she was not very interested in it, so she sat quietly aside without saying anything.
"I'm feeling a bit bored sitting here. Miss Yu San, would you like to accompany me to walk around the garden and appreciate the flowers?" Chen Guan invited.
Yu Jiao nodded and said, "Okay."
Liu Yaoyu realized belatedly that they were talking about jewelry and the like. Yu Jiao had just arrived in Beijing, so how would she know about these things?
Seeing that Yu Jiao agreed to go with Chen Wan to see the flowers and was willing to make friends with the little sisters she knew, Liu Yaoyu was also very happy. She looked at Yu Jiao and said, "Go ahead, there are still many flowers blooming in our garden at this time of year."
Yu Jiao and Shen Guan left the pavilion and walked towards a place with fewer people.
Chen Guan held Yu Jiao's hand, and when she saw that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and said, "Doctor Yu, what is going on? How did you become a lady of the Liu family?"
Yu Jiao smiled slightly, "It's just what you saw. I didn't know my life story before. I only found out after my elder brother went to Qingzhou."
"It's really unexpected." Chen Wan said with a smile, "We are destined to be together. Cousin Xueyan has returned to the capital now. I thought we would never see each other again. Now it's good. We can play together more often in the future."
Yu Jiao was indeed somewhat unfamiliar with the capital city. Chen Guan was an old acquaintance she had met in Qingzhou, and meeting him here gave her a feeling of familiarity and familiarity.
"Cousin Xueyan has always been grateful to you. If it weren't for you, she would have died. Your words that day made Cousin Xueyan determined to leave the Sun family. Although she is divorced now, she is very happy every day back in the capital." Chen Guan said again.
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "Since I have received a consultation fee for your cousin, it is a payment in full. There is no need to be grateful or not." She then asked with concern, "How is your cousin's health now?"
Shen Wan also smiled, "After the cesarean section...it is considered a miscarriage after all, and her body is a little weak, but it's nothing serious."
As if remembering something, Chen Wan said, "In that case, your brother, Master Yu Wu, is not your biological brother?"
Yu Jiao nodded.
"Does Mr. Yu Wu know that you were adopted by the Liu family?" Chen Guan remembered that Yu Qizhe was discussing articles with his father at her house during the day. If Yu Qizhe knew about it, he should have come to the Liu Mansion.
Yu Jiao shook her head. "He will take the imperial examination next year, so he came to the capital a while ago. I haven't had time to tell him about my affairs yet."
Chen Guan said to Yu Jiao excitedly, "Your brother is really amazing. My father admires him very much. He also told me privately that after the Spring Examination, he should be among the top three."
Yu Jiao was a little confused, "Is your father...Mr. Shen?"
Shen Wan nodded, "Yes."
Yu Jiao remembered that Yang Jiyan had brought Scholar Shen's name card to Yu Qizhe several times before, asking him to come to the capital, take the card to the Shen Mansion, and worship Scholar Shen as his teacher.
At that time, Yu Qizhe rejected Yang Jiyan, so why did he become a disciple of Shen Daxueshi now?
Yang Jiyan ordered her maid to hire bandits in Danzhou to kill her, while Yang Jiyan came to the capital early to hook up with Yu Qizhe. Could it be that Yu Qizhe was shaken by Yang Jiyan in the capital and finally accepted the invitation from Scholar Shen?
Yu Jiao felt a little depressed. Although she didn't quite believe that Yu Qizhe would do this, her mood was still uncontrollably affected by suspicion.
Chen Wan, who was standing by, was unaware of Yu Jiao's thoughts and continued to talk about Yu Qizhe, "Some time ago, when the Fifth Master Yu had just arrived in the capital, he won the first prize at the Xinglou Poetry Contest and matched the couplet of the Princess of Changle County, becoming famous overnight. That couplet was very popular in the capital for a while and was regarded as the best couplet of all time! Your brother is really amazing and talented!"
Yu Jiao forced a smile. Yu Qizhe had never written about these in the letter. He only mentioned that he had been to Xinglou.
Seeing that Yu Jiao was a little distracted, Chen Guan guessed that now that she had returned to the Liu family, she would not want to be too involved with the past, and she was so happy that she said something wrong.
She paused and continued, "Your eldest brother, Young Master Liu, is also a very talented person. My father often said that it was a pity that he didn't want to enter the government, otherwise he would have been the youngest number one scholar in Taiyan!"
