Da'an's best son-in-law

The slums in Jizhou City...

After arriving at the Wei family, Ye Chen heard from some of the clerks that there were slums in almost every prosperous city not only in Jizhou but also in the Da'an Dynasty.

"How is your brother's health?" Ye Chen picked up the teacup and asked.

According to what Chen Zhong said last time, Chi Linyuan's injury should be serious. Even if Ye Chen gave Yinzi to treat it, he would have to wait for a few months to be completely cured.

"I'm almost healed, but the doctor said it's best to continue to take a good rest, but my brother didn't listen. Since he can walk on his own, he has to go out to do things every day."

"work?"

"My brother thinks I don't know. In fact, he just goes out to help others with some chores to earn some money, and he secretly hides it from me every day." Chi Yu curled his lips, with some distress in his eyes.

"Then you came to me this time because of your brother's intention?"

"No, that's what I meant."

"What do you mean?" Ye Chen was a little surprised when he heard Chi Yu's answer, "When we were outside the door just now, didn't you say that your brother sent you to find me?"

"Of course, you and I don't know each other at all. If I don't tell you my brother's name, will you meet me as you?" Chi Yu tilted his head and said with a smile.

"What is my identity?" After hearing Chi Yu's words, Ye Chen suddenly asked in a funny tone.

"You? The eldest son-in-law of the Wei family, the eldest son of the Ye family, and the famous eldest son of Jizhou City..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking." Seeing that Chi Yu was very familiar with his identity, Ye Chen quickly interrupted the former and said, "You just said that your brother is in trouble, so this time you are here. Are you looking for my help?"

"Of course" Chi Yu nodded.

"My brother mentioned you many times in front of me. He said that you are just a son-in-law on the surface, but it is not as simple as it seems. People in Jizhou say that about you, which is wrong."

Hearing Chi Linyuan's evaluation of himself, Ye Chen was quite surprised. When they met in Liyue Village that day, Chi Linyuan left a deep impression on him. He didn't expect that he would be the most popular person in the former's mind. The impression is not low either.

"So, how do you want me to help him?" Ye Chen said directly.

He and Chi Linyuan did know each other, but they were just acquaintances. In terms of favors, only Chi Linyuan owed Ye Chen. Besides, Chi Linyuan's trouble was just Chi Yu's guess. , but this may not be the case.

Chi Yu bit his silver teeth lightly, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "I hope you can meet my brother."

"It's that simple?"

"My brother has never told me anything, but I can actually vaguely guess that the trouble he encountered is probably related to the Chen family."

"Chen family?" Ye Chen was startled, "Is this the Chen family where Chen Zhong lives?"

Chi Yu nodded, "Before Chen Zhong met me, my brother had some friendship with Chen Moqun of the Chen family, but then it seems that for some reason, the relationship between the two of them completely broke down."

"When my brother went out recently, I followed him secretly and found him meeting with people from the Chen family. Although I didn't know the content of their conversation, what I can confirm is that my brother was definitely not voluntary."

Ye Chen was also a little surprised when he heard the familiar name from Chi Yu's mouth.

Chen Moqun, the most talented man in Jizhou City and the sole heir of the Chen family, had a conflict with Ye Chen because of Wei Yanran as early as when Ye Chen first came to the Wei family.

"There should be some reasons why Chen Zhong had to take me as his concubine. He wanted to target my brother," Chi Yu said with some distress.

"Chi Linyuan, how could he be related to someone like Chen Moqun?" Ye Chen asked with some confusion.

The two people's classes are almost completely different. Chen Moqun is definitely a child of an aristocratic family, while Chi Linyuan comes from a poor family. Whether it is status or social circles, the two people are completely different.

With Chen Moqun's character, it is almost impossible to actively make friends with a poor boy who has no use value.

"How is it impossible?"

"My brother was on the list of talented people in Jizhou back then, but he was tied with Chen Moqun. It was just that something happened in the preliminary test, and that's why he was reduced to this. Otherwise... "Chi Yu stopped talking, looking a little lonely.

"Otherwise, the top pick in the pre-examination that year might not be Chen Moqun!" After thinking about it, Chi Yu still mustered up his courage and said.

Ye Chen also knew about the so-called preliminary examination. It was nominally to select some children with good qualifications before the provincial examination. It was said to be regardless of family background, but in fact it was specially held for those children from aristocratic families with backgrounds.

Idiots like Ye Chen before and Chen Zhong are the direct beneficiaries of this kind of pre-examination. However, with Ye Chen's status in the Ye family, there is no benefit in participating in the pre-examination other than being embarrassed.

It is true that children from poor families like Chi Linyuan can participate, but the chance of successfully standing out is almost zero. With Chen Moqun's identity and background, it is almost a certainty that he will be the number one winner.

"Back then, people said that my brother was a noble man from a poor family, and that he and Chen Moqun were the two most proud people in Jizhou. But after that incident, everyone's view of him completely changed."

"I believe that my brother cannot be that kind of person, but I am the only one who believes in him. At that time, almost all the literati in Jizhou were scolding him and ridiculing him..." It seems that he was thinking of that year. Chi Yu's voice was choked with sobs.

"According to my brother's ability, even if he doesn't take the bullshit pre-test, if he takes the provincial test directly, he will definitely be in the top three. Why cheat in a small pre-test!"

"Since then, my brother has been deprived of the qualification to participate in the provincial examination. His road has been completely blocked. He can only do odd jobs with my grandfather."

"I know, in fact, he is not willing to give in. I want to help my brother, but I can't do anything..."

Listening to Chi Yu's story, Ye Chen was convinced. If Chi Linyuan's talent and reputation could be equal to that of Chen Moqun, cheating would be completely unnecessary and self-destructive. As a child from a poor family, Ye Chen couldn't help but believe it. I believe he would do such a stupid thing.

"Let's go," Ye Chen put down the teacup in his hand and sat up.

In any case, he did want to meet this Chi Linyuan, and part of it was curiosity in his heart. More importantly, it was because of the special relationship between the former and Chen Moqun.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now is the last time for the silk competition. Ye Chen knows that with Chen Moqun's character, he will never give up. He will continue to take action against the Wei family.

The more he knows about Chen Moqun, the more Ye Chen has the chance of winning.

"Where are you going?" Chi Yu raised his head and asked with some confusion.

"Go see your brother"
