The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 124

Since ancient times, kings have been unlucky. They are the most ruthless emperors.

Kikyo squatted down quickly and said, "I dare not. Please spare my life."

"OK, put your things into the study first. This is the homework assigned by the two mammies in the palace. If there are any mistakes, I only ask you."

Kikyo bowed his head and ran in. The woman called twice, but she didn't stop Kikyo. Seeing Chu Jinyao's intention to protect the servant girl, the woman was already very uncomfortable. The woman thought that the fourth girl and her wife were right. There are really no rules in the fifth girl's yard. Since her wife sent her to guide the fifth girl, she must rectify the atmosphere here.

Chu Jinyao's waist and legs were very sore. Even so, she forced to hold up a smile, walked two steps closer and asked, "what do you call mammy?"

The woman stood up and said arrogantly, "my name is sun."

"Good mother sun." Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "since it was sent by her mother, it's an elder. Don't neglect it. Clove, clean up a clean room and take mother sun to have a rest."

Clove took orders to go. Before she took a few steps, she heard grandma sun say: "Miss five, my wife sent me to straighten out the rules for you. To tell you the truth, you may not like to listen. The rules in your yard are too loose, which can't be compared with that of miss four. Miss, you are still young and don't understand the danger of the people. You look bright in the back house, but there are many hidden things, especially those slippery slaves and maidservants who love to collude to deceive the master Son. For example, the girl's silver jewelry. You do a lot of things every day, and you can't remember what jewelry is in the box. After a long time, I'm sure some slaves who are open to money will secretly sell your jewelry. So my wife sent me here. The first important thing is to let me help you learn to be a housekeeper, so as not to be bullied by the evil slaves below. "

Chu Jinyao was so angry that the woman almost kicked her nose and face. Chu Jinyao wanted to wear a high hat for her, and then offered it far behind. Just don't hinder her, but now it seems that the woman has very long hands.

Sure enough, mother sun paused and said, "girl, where are the keys to your clothes and jewelry? You are young. I'm afraid you will be cheated by the Diao slave below. You'd better leave it to the old slave."

"Don't bother, Mammy." Chu Jinyao said coldly, "I'm in charge of these things. I'm used to doing it at home, and I won't be deceived. Since mammy is sent by my mother, I should support her. Can you worry about these? Isn't it my unfilial."

Chu Jinyao has moved out of filial piety, but as the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, she can't explain clearly. The woman's face is very thick. No matter what Chu Jinyao said, she just insisted: "Madam sent me to palm the eyes of the five girls. Clothes and jewelry naturally need the old slave to worry about. If my aunt refuses, the old slave will have to go to her to reason."

It was so rampant that Chu Jinyao sank her face and said, "then go. Clove, prepare pen and ink. I want to review my lessons."

Chu Jinyao dropped her words and walked to the main room without turning back. Mammy sun was stunned. She obviously didn't expect Chu Jinyao to be so strong. The girl in the inner house was not delicate, soft and circuitous. How dare Chu Jinyao speak directly?

Mother sun shouted, "I'm from my wife. The wife said..."

Chu Jinyao said calmly, "clove, pass the word on. I'm going to read a book. No one is allowed to speak loudly. If you quarrel with me and delay me from learning rules with the Queen's mother, I have to go to my grandmother and let her preside over justice."

Although Chu Jinyao said this to clove, the direction in her words was very clear. Mother sun was dumb. Chu Jinyao glanced back at the people coldly, and then opened the curtain and went in.

When she got indoors, Kikyo was pestling in her study and didn't dare to go out. She also heard the movement outside. When she saw Chu Jinyao again at the moment, she only felt extra admiration: "girl..."

Chu Jinyao felt very bad. She said to Kikyo, "she's still yelling outside. You can bear it first. Stay in the west room for a while. When she's tired of scolding, you can go out."

Platycodon grandiflorum replied: "yes."

The study soon calmed down again. The servant girls knew Chu Jinyao's habits. It was customary to leave no one in the study. When there was no one, Chu Jinyao sighed.

Qin Yi chuckled: "what's the matter? Didn't you just be very powerful? Why did you sigh?"

"I didn't have such a grumpy temper," Chu Jinyao said. "It's said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. Sure enough, you're right. Look what you've brought me!"

If ordinary people dared to talk to Qin Yi like this, Qin Yi would have asked someone to clean up each other. But now he couldn't help laughing at Chu Jinyao's words: "you're reasonable, don't rely on me for everything."

Chu Jinyao couldn't hold her face and smiled gently. She smiled for a while, and her tone became sad: "it's easier to ask God than to send God. How can I send this giant Buddha!"

Qin Yi didn't speak. He came out of the jade pendant, sat leisurely at the table and turned the book. Chu Jinyao pretended to be poor and found that Qin Yi couldn't fit, so he hurried around to the other side of the table, sat opposite Qin Yi, his arm lying on the table, and carefully poked Qin Yi's arm: "Qi Ze, what should I do?"

Qin Yi raised his head and smiled at Chu Jinyao: "I don't know, you think."

"I just can't think of it. I'm looking for you now!" Chu Jinyao continued to be coquettish, and finally simply said, "if you don't say it, I'll cry for you."

Qin Yi glanced at her and said, "cry."

Chu Jinyao finally knew where the sense of familiarity came from. As like as two peas, Sun Momo said he would tell Chao's complaint, and Chu Jinyao said, "then you go," the expression and tone of Qin's eyes were exactly the same as Qin Yi's "cry".

Chu Jinyao said it was really retribution. She deflated her mouth, carefully, but continued to poke Qin Yi's arm, and looked at him with that kind of poor eyes. Qin Yi didn't move his eyebrows, but he took the book in his hand for a while and was stunned that he didn't turn a page.

Qin Yi couldn't bear it. He closed the book and said calmly, "you're really brave."

Chu Jinyao immediately smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't ignore me."

Qin Yi was helpless and funny. He said, "it's really retribution."

Chu Jinyao showed a good attitude of being taught and politely poured Qin Yi a cup of tea, although Qin Yi didn't need it. Qin Yi had a straight face. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but stare at her with anger and laughter.

"Mama sun was given to you by your mother. I don't have to tell you who provoked her. You know. If you have this person, it's also a trouble for you to see Zhao tomorrow."

"I understand." Chu Jinyao sighed, "it's clear that Chu Jinmiao is the young lady who grew up here. She has replaced my ranking and identity. I'm not hostile to her, but she's against me."

"People's hearts always have no end." Qin Yi knows that he will go sooner or later. It turned out that Chu Jinyao had difficulties and Qin Yi helped her solve them. But now he knows that he wants to leave, he no longer helps her block everything, and teaches her these intrigues bit by bit: "It's good for her to take the initiative to attack you. Even if she doesn't do anything, I have to stimulate her to do it. You're a framed person now. Naturally, you don't have to pay attention to the woman outside or your mother's bias. Don't worry about conniving at the woman. The more rampant she is, the better. When the time comes, stab her directly in front of the person in charge and show it to everyone. This is called motionless Yes, one hit will kill. "

Chu Jinyao nodded with a feeling: "you mean, I deliberately showed weakness and made mother sun more and more rampant. Finally, I made an intolerable mistake and asked my grandmother to intervene?"

"That's it," Qin Yi said, "If you are high enough to do what you want to do, you can do it directly, but you can't do it now. You can only detour and sell pity to the elders. And your father, Chu Jing is a man who knows what Chu Jinmiao has done to you. You inadvertently tell him what he has done to you. It's enough for him to reveal the rest. Since your mother is eccentric, you can only find another way, at least Let Chu Jing see what kind of life you live in the back house. "

Chu Jinyao had fully understood. She nodded: "I understand. These disputes in the inner house are no different from those in the village, but they have to cover themselves with a layer of passive skin, as if everything is passive and forced."

It turned out that in the Su family, if someone came to ask Chu Jinyao for the key to the money in the family, Chu Jinyao could definitely scold him to death. Even if she asked other people in the village to judge, no one could say that Chu Jinyao was wrong. Chu Jinyao could stand on both emotion and reason. But now when she comes to the Hou house, she can't do things so directly. If she really scolds mother sun, everyone will only say that she is unfilial, Instead of asking her why.

Chu Jinyao is trying to adapt to the new rules of Hou men.

"Yes, that's it." Qin Yi smiled. "Men always like innocent and weak women. You're too strong to please."

"Men are like this? Can't they see that it's fake?"

Qin Yi was stunned when asked. He was used to the situation in the back palace. However, at the moment, looking at Chu Jinyao's bright eyes, he could only avoid it carefully and said, "not all men are like this..."

"What about you?" Chu Jinyao blurted out before Qin Yi finished.

"Me?" Qin Yi smiled. "I have too many things to do. Men and women are far from my plan."

Chu Jinyao was so rash that she was a little surprised when she said what she had just said. But now, after listening to Qin Yi's answer, she felt a little empty. Chu Jinyao pressed down her inexplicable mind and said to Qin Yi with a smile: "You're right. Men are very fickle. With those Kung Fu, it's better to focus on their own things. After all, it's the most important to live well. As for love, it's all vanity."

Qin Yi thought what Chu Jinyao said was reasonable intellectually, but there was always something wrong psychologically. He frowned and said, "you are a girl. Don't talk about love all day. How old are you now? Don't always think about getting married."

"Who thought?" Chu Jinyao was angry and immediately refused to show weakness. They said one thing to me, and the twilight slowly deepened.

The next day, Chu Jinyao went to greet Zhao. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Chu Jinmiao sitting next to Zhao. She stripped Zhao of oranges with her bare hands. Zhao's hand was standing with grandmother.

Chu Jinyao knew that he was black.

"Mother." her face was calm, pretending not to know anything, and she saluted Zhao.

Zhao put her hand on the table. The gold bracelet on her wrist touched the table and made a clear collision sound. "I heard from mother sun that you disobeyed the discipline and deliberately contradicted mother sun?"

Mother sun copied her hands and looked wronged. Chu Jinmiao bowed her head and peeled her skin attentively without looking up.

Chu Jinyao calmly asked, "mother, where did you start?"

"Mother Sun told me everything. She's going to discipline the rules for you, and you don't have to contradict. You're still rude to mother sun in front of the public. Do you still have my mother in your eyes?"

"Mother, you know, you are my mother." Chu Jinyao looked up at Zhao and said word by word, "Why don't you ask me what happened? Mother sun yelled in my yard when she first came. I just came back from mother Hua. I didn't have time to sit down and drink. I heard mother sun say that she came to collect the keys to my clothes and jewelry at your order."

Chu Jinyao raised her head and looked at Zhao: "mother, is this what you asked her to do? Don't ask, pinch my whole fortune in my hand first, so as to restrain me?"

Zhao frowned and looked at grandma sun. She asked grandma sun to take care of Chu Jinyao. Don't let anyone step on Chu Jinyao's face. Why did the woman rashly ask Chu Jinyao for keys? Clothes and jewelry in the back house are women's biggest possessions. If they weren't trusted slaves, who would let others move these? Zhao's eyes pressed over. Grandma sun quickly bowed her head and Zhao's heart Some angry: "why didn't you say this just now? Who let you make your own decisions?"

"Madam Hui, it's not the old slave's own opinion!"

"Then you say, who inspired you to do this?" Zhao was angry. He folded his hands on his knees and asked, "I want to see where you have the courage to defy me."

Mammy sun was sweating. She dared not speak, but one eye secretly looked at Chu Jinmiao. Chu Jinyao also stared at Chu Jinmiao directly to see how she managed.

Chu Jinyao was amazed at the touch of the brocade. The brocade was made of silk from the special tribute of Tianfu. It was as bright as clouds, so it got the name of brocade. The cost of brocade is very high. The most skilled Weaver can only weave more than an inch a day, so it has the name of "inch brocade and inch gold". All these rare and beautiful brocades must be paid tribute to the noble people in the palace. Only those who have access to the weaving house can be scattered Buy a few pieces at random, and they are all small, so they can't be sold on a large scale. In this way, the market price of folk cloud brocade can be imagined.

Even the girls who were born in Hou's residence, let alone Chu Jinyao, felt it hard. Chu Jinyao couldn't help touching it again. Unexpectedly, it was bad. She still kept the cocoons she used to do farm work between her fingers. When she put them on these delicate brocades, she even hooked a silk out of the cloud brocade.

Chu Jinyao quickly stopped. Her actions disturbed others. Chu Jinjiao, the seven girl in the second room, saw it and immediately shouted, "why did you hook the Yunjin out of the silk?"

Chu Jinyao held her hand tightly. When others came to see it, they all showed different eyes. Chu Jinmiao's delicate fingers crossed the cloud brocade and gently drew a smile on her mouth.

Sure enough, he came from the countryside and couldn't make it to the table.
