The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 128

Since ancient times, kings have been unlucky. They are the most ruthless emperors. The servant girl said, "what you said is true. You are so smart that you will get what you want in the future."

"Of course." the three girls were complacent. In the back house, as long as you get the right man, it's equivalent to getting everything. What if the old lady doesn't like it? Old lady Chu doesn't like her aunt's style of smoking and fawning, but who makes Changxing Hou like it? My aunt doesn't live in the back house with beautiful scenery and face. Except for the name of a housewife, she is no worse. Old lady Chu is such a powerful person. When she was young, she was very angry with the concubine room. The living environment of the three girls taught her by practice. Compared with adhering to the name of the main room and concubine room, it's better to strive to cling to a stronger man. After the big deal, we can win over men and compete with the main room. The three girls are very confident in their means of competing for favor.

The servant girl asked, "girl, are we still reading with a lamp tonight?"

"Who is impatient to see what?" the three girls disliked it. "It's enough to put a lamp in the east room, spread the book and put on the illusion that I'm reading. By the way, remember to tell my father tomorrow, and I'll read and practice calligraphy very late."

"Yes."

In the room of three bedrooms and six girls, the servant girl came in to add water to six girls.

"Girl, are you still watching so late?"

"If you want to choose a companion to read, you must always look diligent." the sixth girl put down her pen. She had just written a page of large characters, and her wrist was a little tired. She felt almost done, so she said, "that's all for today. I'm tired of my hands. Have a rest."

"The girl's hands are tired?" the servant girl hurriedly came over and half knelt on the ground to rub her wrists for the six girls. The servant girl said, "girl, you are too diligent, but after all, your body is important. If you are tired, take a break. It's not too late to see it tomorrow."

"HMM." the sixth girl whispered. She leaned back a little sleepy, put her hand in the hand of the servant girl and asked the servant girl to massage. The sixth girl closed her eyes and thought about today.

Today, they joined forces to plot against Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao's counterattack surprised her.

The sixth girl is the only legitimate daughter of Sanfang. The third master was born by Aunt Yang. When the old Marquis was alive, he especially loved aunt Yang and even the third master was valued. When they were the most beautiful in Sanfang, they had better food and clothing than their eldest son. Even the old lady of Chu had to avoid the edge of Sanfang. Unfortunately, the old Marquis died, and Cheng Jue's is the big room. The old lady of Chu immediately turned over, and then began to suppress aunt Yang and Sanfang.

At that time, the old Marquis especially doted on the third Lord, and even moved the idea of passing the Marquis to the third room. However, her real mother is still alive. There are two real brothers. Old lady Chu's mother's family is not vegetarian. Under the pressure of etiquette and law, she can't compete with the whole patriarchal society by relying on the power of the old Marquis alone. In the end, the Marquis was left to the eldest son Chu Jing, and the old lady of Chu finally waited for the opportunity to turn over for more than ten years.

As soon as the old lady of Chu came to power, she immediately sold aunt Yang, and drank in front of everyone. She scolded the three rooms for being unruly, and the cost of food and clothing exceeded the etiquette. Sanfang was shameless. Since then, his basic necessities of life have plummeted. The gold and silver savings given by the old Marquis can't be saved.

Up to now, Sanfang has to be a man with his tail between his legs. The third master and the third lady dare not fart in front of their legitimate mother. The whole family knows that the old lady doesn't like Sanfang. The servants in the house are very snobbish. Many people dare to deduct the cost of Sanfang when they see that they are not valued. The old lady has always had no sand in her eyes, but she turned a blind eye to this matter and completely acquiesced.

Six girls unconsciously put a sarcastic smile on her mouth. She said that old lady Chu had no blood relationship with their three rooms. How can she count on old lady Chu's kindness? After all, people are selfish and hypocritical.

The three rooms are walking on thin ice outside, but the interior is very harmonious, as if the external pressure is more and more uniting them. The third master and the third wife are in harmony, and one son and one daughter are born out of wedlock. The third master has only a few rooms and no concubine room. Compared with the complex Changxing Hou in the backyard, the flirting second master and the third master are really much better.

The sixth girl is the only daughter of the third master and the third lady. She is twelve years old this year. The sixth girl closed her eyes and thought slowly. Now Changxing Hou is in good health. He also has a legitimate son under his name. Unless all the men in the big room and the second room die overnight, the third room won't have a chance to turn over. The mother looked forward to the imperial examination of her only son, the fifth young master, and soared to the sky. However, the fifth young master is only eleven now. Even if he can go to high school, it will be many years later.

In the final analysis, six girls can rely on only themselves.

"Girl?" the servant girl suddenly called. Six girls woke up from meditation. She looked at the servant girl unhappily and asked, "what's the matter?"

The servant girl shuddered, quickly bowed her head, and said, "nothing. I'm afraid the girl fell asleep, so I called."

The sixth girl took back her hand and was massaged by the servant girl for a long time. Her hand is much better. The six girls' eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and youyou said, "they are not loved by their elders. It's really difficult to walk. It seems that they can only work harder to change the situation."

"Girl?" the servant girl asked tentatively. The sixth girl looked back and said in a flat tone, "I'll study and practice hard these days. You should prepare your pen and ink in advance."

"Yes."

.

In Chaoyun hospital, Chu Jinyao has just finished writing the big characters on the third page.

Qin Yi slept and woke up to see Chu Jinyao still practicing calligraphy. He looked back at the sky and said, "have you been practicing calligraphy?"

"Yes." Chu Jinyao put down her pen, rubbed her already stiff wrist, and spread out a piece of snow-white rice paper. She has written three full pages. This is only a finished product. There are still a lot of waste paper on the way. In order to show her diligence, the third girl asked someone to keep the light in the study burning all the time. The sixth girl was cruel to let herself practice, but she felt tired after writing a page of paper and didn't want to write any more. Chu Jinmiao talked with Zhao all night and helped Zhao fight his aunt in the backyard. Only Chu Jinyao has really practiced all night and has not rested until now.

Even Qin Yi sighed: "there's no need to be in such a hurry. Rome wasn't built in a day. You don't have to force yourself like this." Chu Jinyao's Kung Fu is comparable to that of the students in the scientific examination.

"No." Chu Jinyao shook her head. "I didn't have a chance to write before. I'm much worse than my sisters. If I don't work hard, I deserve to be laughed at. I'll write another page. If you're tired, take a rest first."

Qin Yi looked at it for a while and sighed silently. He suddenly said, "I used to worry about you, but now it seems that wherever you go in the future, you will live a good life."

"Really?" Chu Jinyao was surprised, smiled, looked up from the paper and looked at Qin Yi.

Under the light, Chu Jinyao's eyes were almost shining. Qin Yi also smiled and said softly, "really."

Chu Jinyao chuckled: "I think so. As long as I think of going to a completely strange family life in the future, I feel frightened, but I think it's nothing to have you with me."

Qin Yi was silent for a moment and said, "Chu Jinyao, have you ever thought that if one day I'm gone?"

Hearing this, Chu Jinyao suddenly couldn't speak.

In fact, she thought about it. Although Qin Yi appeared in her jade pendant for some reason, Qin Yi could do almost anything. Chu Jinyao didn't think that the other party could stay with her for such a strange person with unknown origin but very good understanding of the world. She thought it was heaven's love that she could meet Qin Yi. When this day came, she could only wish Qin Yi to fly away and go to a higher level.

"If there is such a day, Qi Ze, you must tell me earlier." Chu Jinyao regretted it again as soon as the words were spoken, "No, you'd better not tell me. I know it's painful in vain. You see, you will have so many things. What belongs to you is the broad sky outside, not me, a housewife who can only see a small piece of sky. You will be very good in the future. I will bless you all the time."

Qin Yi didn't speak. This was the first time they talked about this topic. Qin Yi thought about it many times. He would leave sooner or later. He reminded Chu Jinyao earlier to prepare her for it, which was for her good. However, when he really mentioned this topic, Qin Yi didn't like it. He didn't like the heavy atmosphere at the moment.

"Forget it, it's still far away. We'll discuss it later." Qin Yi sighed.

Chu Jinyao didn't listen to Qin Yi's words as before. She untied the complex and took out the jade pendant. The jade was transparent and delicate. The quality of the jade was excellent. The red catkins in the jade were like blood. Chu Jinyao looked at it for a long time and said, "look, Qize, there are few red catkins in the jade."

Qin Yi didn't answer for some reason. Chu Jinyao didn't care about his indifference and continued, "we don't know what will happen after all the red catkins disappear. But I don't want to bet. I don't want you to take this risk."

After a while, she said with difficulty, "let's find a way."

Chu Jinyao looked at it and hurriedly said, "the daughter also left first."

Chu Jinxian looked back at Chu Jinyao and said nothing. Zhao didn't ask them to stay, so she waved and let them go.

In the end, the three concubines saw, oh, the two legitimate women had gone, but she and Chu Jinmiao stayed in front of Zhao. Who was born by Zhao?

The three girls took eight girls who were only six years old into the room to pick patterns. Aunt Huang and aunt Fu also went to help their girls make stitches. Soon, only Chu Jinmiao was left with Zhao.

Chu Jinmiao leaned on Zhao and said, "Mom, why should we prepare so much when my aunt comes back this time? I haven't seen this before."

Zhao smiled but said nothing: "you just need to listen to Wei Niang's words. Dress up this time and embroider your clothes well, remember?"

Chu Jinmiao snorted softly and said, "I also want to dress up well, but they won't embroider you well if they don't reward those servants with money."

"What a big deal. I still have some gold thread left here. You don't have to save it. Is the head face enough? I was sent a set of ruby head faces a few days ago. If you don't have enough, take it first."

"Thank you, mother!" Chu Jinmiao answered immediately, "mother is the best for me!"

Zhao looked at Chu Jinmiao with indulgence. She didn't know what she thought, and sighed again: "You are also a poor woman. Who else can I count on if I don't subsidize you? Although your father doesn't say it, he is very biased towards that. Your eldest sister has your grandmother's subsidy, and the old lady's private house is uncertain! The three girls also have Huang's help. In a word, you are alone."

"I have a mother!" Chu Jinmiao hugged Zhao's arm. Although he was laughing on his face, he was cluttering in his heart. She is used to the life of four top-notch girls everywhere. She can't be compared with her sisters! Chu Jinmiao's mental activity is open. What's the purpose of aunt going back to her mother's house this time?

Zhao's whole mind subsidizes Chu Jinmiao. Not to mention Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian, even the second young master Chu Chengye can't compare.

Zhao spoiled his second daughter for a reason, even surpassing his eldest daughter and eldest son.

The second young master is the only legitimate son of Zhao. He is the eldest son of Da Fang, but he is the second in the family. After Zhao's entry, his first child gave birth to Chu Jinxian. Chu Jinxian was carried away by the old lady as soon as she was born. Zhao didn't give birth to a son and tried hard to conceive again. However, there was no news for two years. Instead, the daughter-in-law of Er Fang gave birth to the eldest grandson of Changxing Hou's house. Zhao's pressure was so great that she had to stop taking medicine for her aunt. Soon after, she finally gave birth to her second child, Chu Chengye, the second young master.

But before Zhao could breathe a sigh of relief, the other two aunts also gave birth to two concubines in succession. Because Zhao was too worried when she was pregnant, the second young master was not very strong and his bones were very weak. Zhao is madam Hou. Even if there is no legitimate eldest grandson left, his son, who is easy to give birth, is not strong enough. On the contrary, the other two concubines are stronger than each other.

Zhao couldn't swallow this tone and couldn't stand up in his mother-in-law's house. Later, Tatars invaded the border. Zhao and the old lady's team separated. She fled alone, leaving only mammy Zhang. Zhao didn't know how much she hated. Later, she gave birth to her next daughter in the farmyard. Chu Jinmiao cried out of breath, but her little hand kept holding her skirt. At that time, Zhao felt that this was her daughter, and she must take her daughter for a breath. Later, when she returned to Hou's house, the old lady felt sorry and subsidized Zhao. Zhao was so good to Chu Jinmiao that she almost held the four girls up to heaven, even the eldest girl and the second young master.

Later, Changxing Hou brought Chu Jinyao back. Zhao only felt that the world had collapsed and refused to accept it anyway. Chu Jinyao has been back for a month. Even several aunts can laugh and talk to Chu Jinyao, but Zhao has been indifferent to Chu Jinyao.

Chu Jinyao... To be honest, she has been a lot less optimistic. When she first came, she longed for her mother. When she got through the most difficult hurdle, she thought it was a icing on the cake. Zhao doesn't like her, and she doesn't have to catch up all the time.

Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian retire from the Zhao family together. After leaving the door, Chu Jinxian stopped and said to Chu Jinyao, "why did you come out with me?"

Chu Jinyao was surprised: "yes, what's wrong with this...?"

Chu Jinxian doesn't know what to say. She still hates iron and steel: "You are so sincere. I have a grandmother to take care of me. I will be married in a few days, but what about you? The men in the house can't count on you. You are only thirteen this year and have to stay in the Hou house for many years. You don't stay in front of your mother to do needlework and walk around with your mother. What are you going to do in the future? Don't forget you have to talk about marriage."

Chu Jinyao didn't dare to answer back. Chu Jinxian took a deep breath and calmed her heart. Then she said: "Be smart next time. Don't you come out without looking at the fourth girl? When there is no one, she and her mother will certainly get better things. The back house costs so much, who can survive on a monthly basis? It's all subsidized by the elders in private. You're not smart. You'll only get worse step by step. In the end, you'll be crushed by her. Finally, if your marriage is crushed by her, I think what you do."

"Elder sister, I'm wrong." Chu Jinyao honestly bowed her head and admitted her mistake. Chu Jinxian was more comfortable when she saw that she had a good attitude towards admitting her mistake. She said vaguely: "people are flesh. If you walk around in front of your mother, she will always see you. I'm going to get married soon, and my father and relatives are not in the house all the year round. You have to plan for yourself."

Chu Jinyao can't understand. Chu Jinxian asked her to get close to Zhao and act like a spoiled fool, so that she can be better in the future. Chu Jinyao also knows the truth, but she really can't do it. It's just to calculate her stepmother, but Zhao is her biological mother.
