Marrying into a poor family

Xiao Chenyu is very low-key in school, so that even the students don't know much about him.

The clothes are neither bad nor luxurious, and the family background should be ordinary.

His appearance and demeanor are considered above average, and he has a friendly smile, which is very pleasing to people.

Someone asked about his relationship with someone who could come here to study?

He only said that it was his wife and godmother who helped. In short, everyone agreed that Xiao Chenyu was a man who relied on his wife to build relationships, and there was nothing outstanding about himself or his family.

But it can't help but be enviable. At least he married a wife who can "work hard" and can help him a lot.

Xiao Chenyu was eating with his head down, while his classmate Yao Zijiang kept muttering to the side: "Those people must be talking about you again."

"Whatever they say, I don't care!" Xiao Chenyu answered casually without raising his head.

Yao Zijiang was very dissatisfied: "You can be bullied when you are kind. You don't understand this?"

Xiao Chenyu looked sideways at Yao Zijiang and smiled: "With Brother Yao here, why should I be afraid?"

Yao Zijiang choked and sighed helplessly: "If I didn't like you, I wouldn't bother to care about you."

After saying that, he glared hard at the group of noble disciples over there, full of provocation.

It's a pity that those people are not afraid of Yao Zijiang, a disciple from an out-of-town family.

Standing up and about to come over here, Xiao Chenyu felt a little worried. This Yao Zijiang always caused trouble in the name of helping him.

But facing this true-hearted classmate and friend, Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but talk about him.

However, things are indeed a bit strange, because since he came back from leave, he always felt that more people were talking about him behind his back, and they were not well-intentioned.

When encountering something, you must always find the root cause and then eradicate it. Otherwise, even small things may leave hidden dangers.

Xiao Chenyu is different from Yao Zijiang. He has no foundation and no one can help him. He tries to keep a low profile to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to his family.

Although Yao Zijiang's family is now in decline, it still has some foundation.

The Yao family's origin was not in Beijing, but his uncle was an official in Beijing, so the promising child Yao Zijiang was sent to his uncle for discipline.

Yao Zijiang is probably somewhat similar to Lu Jiu. They were both arrogant figures in their hometown. They had to suffer a lot when they got here, but after all, their temperament was still there.

When Yao Zijiang was sharpening his fists and wanted to show off with his opponent, Xiao Chenyu stood up and pulled him away.

As a result, the road ahead was blocked, and the other party was unwilling to let Xiao Chenyu leave.

The person standing in front of Xiao Chenyu is called Du Ziren, and he is a person who cannot be messed with.

Xiao Chenyu pulled Yao Zijiang behind him, who was about to make a move, cupped his hands towards Du Ziren, showed a standard gentle smile that often appeared on his face, and said: "Brother Ziren, what is this?"

Du Ziren looked at Xiao Chenyu for a long time, as if he was sizing him up, but also as if he was thinking about something in his mind?

The group of distinguished disciples behind him had already gathered around, but when they saw Du Ziren was there, they stopped.

Du Ziren looked around, then turned his attention to Xiao Chenyu, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, are you in trouble again? Hahaha, it seems that I came at the right time!"

After hearing this, everyone around knew that Du Ziren wanted to protect Xiao Chenyu, so they left in a sullen manner, but still glared at Xiao Chenyu and Yao Zijiang with unkind eyes.

Du Ziren invited Xiao Chenyu to his house to drink tea and talk, and Xiao Chenyu pulled Yao Zijiang along with him.

Du Ziren met one more person that he had not invited, and he was generous and did not care. There are many people in the college, so the accommodation yard is a bit tight, but fortunately, each person can have a room, but several people have to share the yard.

However, Du Ziren is not like this. He lives alone in a courtyard, although it is a small courtyard.

The courtyard is quiet and quiet, and there are two servants waiting on him.

The boy didn't dare to go out and walk around at will, so he made the yard very comfortable and clean, with not even a dead leaf or weed on the ground.

Yao Zijiang looked around curiously, with quite envious eyes. Fortunately, the disciples of the aristocratic family had strict tutoring, so he quickly adjusted his mood and did not ask any more questions.

Xiao Chenyu only glanced at it when he came in, and never looked at it again. There was never even a look of envy or surprise in his eyes.

The performance of both of them fell into Du Ziren's eyes, and he had a preliminary impression of these two people in his heart.

I found a boy to boil water and serve tea. It was still lunch break time, so I was not in a hurry. Besides, they usually taught in the morning and arranged their own time in the afternoon, but they couldn't leave here at will.

After sitting down, Du Ziren personally held the pot to make tea. Xiao Chenyu was not in a hurry. He and Du Ziren had never had any interaction. His actions today were obviously up to something.

Sure enough, after three cups of tea, Du Ziren took the initiative to talk about his purpose.

"The leader of the group of people who stopped you today is actually a relative of the Li Dongliang family." Du Ziren said: "Li Dongliang is not close to them either, and they have been separated for many generations. So it is said that they are venting their anger on the Li family. , I don’t think so, it’s just that the elders in the family talked about it, they heard it, and they happened to recognize you, so they took it out to vent their anger.”

It might not be accurate to say they were angry. It was as if they suddenly discovered the existence of Xiao Chenyu and had a new target for their pranks.

Xiao Chenyu smiled bitterly and wanted to argue that the Li family had nothing to do with his own family, but he couldn't say it.

After all, Li Siniang is still working as the steward of the inner courtyard in her own home.

However, now is not the time to think about these things, which is why Du Ziren's behavior is even more strange.

"Of course, these people are nothing to be afraid of in front of our Du family. After Brother Xiao leaves my yard, no one will bother you again."

Xiao Chenyu was speechless. He knew what Du Ziren meant. When Xiao Chenyu left here, he unconsciously told others that he and Du Ziren were close, or that he, Xiao Chenyu, had defected to the Du family.

The Du family is a popular family in the capital.

Du Ziren's grandfather was the prime minister at that time, and Du Ziren's aunt was the current queen mother, and the emperor was also Du Ziren's cousin.

It can be said that the Du family is a well-deserved relative and a powerful official.

Du Ziren's confidence comes from his family's heritage.

Why would such a person show kindness to Xiao Chenyu?

Although Xiao Chenyu's talent is obvious to everyone, he is a person with no foundation after all.

He was born into a poor family, not even comparable to Yao Zijiang's family background.

Du Ziren is worthy of being the legitimate son of a large family, and his ability to observe people's emotions is first-class. When he saw Xiao Chenyu frowning and thinking, he smiled and said: "When you were in Qijiang County, there was a gentleman who taught you knowledge. His surname was Yao, and he was a Taoist priest. , of course, to be precise, he is the master of Xuanmiao Temple!"

Xiao Chenyu was shocked when he heard this: "How do you know that? I have never mentioned Taoist Master Yao to anyone?"

"Hahaha!" Du Ziren laughed so hard that he hit the table. It seemed like Xiao Chenyu had asked such a ridiculous question?
