The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 139

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

Chu Jinmiao heard that mammy Zhang had temporarily changed her mouth. She sneered in her heart, but smiled genially on her face and said, "Mammy, can you go to the small kitchen and help me make a golden crisp fruit? I suddenly want to eat your dessert."

After hearing this, Mammy Zhang was stunned on her face and hurried to see Zhao. Zhao smiled and said, "if miao'er wants to eat, you can do it. It doesn't take much effort anyway."

Mother Zhang sighed in her heart. Zhao still couldn't carry it clearly! Chu Jinmiao pushed her away and couldn't tell what she wanted to say, but Zhao responded. Mother Zhang was angry and hated iron and steel.

How old are you? Why don't you even have this ability to distinguish?

After mother Zhang left, Chu Jinmiao hooked her mouth, then sat down in front of Zhao and said, "Mom, I'm not your own daughter, but I've occupied the name of the first lady and let Chu Jinyao wander outside for 13 years. Do you hate me very much?"

"No!" Zhao was startled. "How did you think of saying such words?"

Chu Jinmiao lowered her eyes and wanted to cry: "I also want to be filial to my mother, but others say that I occupy the magpie's nest, covet glory, and hurt the real daughter to suffer outside. It's all my bad, mother. My daughter can't be filial to you in this life. In a few days, you will send me back to the countryside. When I have a good baby in the afterlife, I will be filial to you in good faith, so as not to be scolded by others pointing at my spine."

Zhao did not expect to hear such words. She was stunned and then became angry: "who told you this?"

Chu Jinmiao wiped his tears and didn't speak. The more Zhao looked, the more he felt angry: "is it the servant? The old lady's man? Or Chu Jinyao?"

When it came to Chu Jinyao, Chu Jinmiao shouted, "no, no, don't ask."

"That's unreasonable!" Zhao angrily patted the table. "I thought she was a good one. She didn't make any moths these days. Unexpectedly, she dared to say that about you secretly! Miao'er, don't worry. My mother will seek justice for you. Only when my mother is here, you can be a lady of the Marquis house safely. Don't worry about these things."

"Niang." Chu Jinmiao went to pull Zhao's sleeve, "grandma said specially to make you pay more attention to Chu Jinyao. If you scold Chu Jinyao for me and spread it to grandma's ears, she will be dissatisfied with you again."

Zhao said what she had just said with anger. When Chu Jinmiao reminded her, she thought that there was an old lady. Her mother-in-law was serious and strong. Zhao always took care of her mother-in-law. If the old lady Chu intervened, she really couldn't deal with Chu Jinyao at will. Zhao was angry and hated, and unknowingly transferred her anger to Chu Jinyao. She said gnashing her teeth : "I need someone else to speak when I deal with my daughter?"

"That's what I said, but who let Chu Jinyao be protected by the old lady? Even the eldest sister speaks to her everywhere. Our mother is weak. How can we compare with the red man in front of the old lady?"

"So she's so precious that no one can control her?"

Chu Jinmiao said: "Mom, don't be angry. People think of all the ways. She is protected by the old lady. Although you can't take care of her, it's still feasible to find some nurturing mothers for her. She didn't receive any education. She was used to being poor before. She suddenly came to rich and noble countryside. If she didn't discipline well, she would be blindfolded by money and lose her temper. Therefore, you have to find a mother to take care of her everywhere She, although she will certainly complain about you, you are doing it for her good! Even grandma can understand. "

"Discipline mammy?" Zhao frowned and repeated in disbelief.

"That's right. You can give her a more strict mother to guide her to manage money and people, and supervise her rules at ordinary times. That's really good for her! If she indulges her because she can't bear it, she will give her whatever she wants, and sooner or later she will spoil her temperament. If a person is rotten from the root, it's useless to spend more effort in the future."

Zhao nodded: "you're right. She's my daughter after all. I can't watch her all the time. It's better to send someone to discipline her for me. Although she will certainly complain about me, as long as I know in my heart that it's for her good, I won't ask for these false names." Zhao said, looking at Chu Jinmiao with satisfaction: "It's very kind of you to think of her like this. After all, she grew up in a poor family, and her heart is not bright enough. Seeing so much money suddenly, she will inevitably be blindfolded and secretly exclude you. Don't worry about her."

"I understand." Chu Jinmiao chuckled.

It was late and Chu Jinmiao had to go back to the cross hospital to have a rest. When she went out, she happened to meet mother Zhao coming back with a plate of crispy fruit. Seeing Chu Jinmiao, mother Zhao stopped: "four girls, are you leaving now? The fruit has just been fried. Do you want any more?"

"I suddenly don't want to eat. Mammy can handle it by herself." Chu Jinmiao put her hand in her sleeve and said lightly.

It was Chu Jinmiao who said she wanted to eat crispy fruit at night and asked mammy Zhang to fry it herself. When it was ready, she said she didn't want to eat it.

Mother Zhang didn't speak. She stood aside with a plate of fruit and sent Chu Jinmiao out. Mother Zhang lowered her head. At the moment when she felt that she was wrong, Chu Jinmiao looked up and glanced at her very quickly and lightly. Although that eye was light and fleeting, it was like a dark needle soaked in ice water, which hurt human flesh.

……

In Aunt Huang's yard, three girls are pestling in front of Changxing hou to complain.

"Father, I know I'm stupid. Mammy teaches things. The four girls can learn them once. I can only think about it by myself when I come back. I have to practice until I turn the lamp every day. Father, do you think I can't help being so stupid?"

"How could it." Changxing Hou often came to Aunt Huang's yard, and even the three girls often saw him. Meeting more often, Changxing Hou inevitably had to pity this common woman more. When Changxing Hou saw his daughter drooping and dejected, he felt even more pity. He couldn't help lowering his voice and said, "clumsy birds fly first and diligence can make up for their clumsiness. You are willing to work hard by yourself, which is far better than your sisters. If you persist in this way, a little makes a lot, and there will always be a return."

"Really?" the three girls showed a surprise smile. She immediately frowned and bit her lips in distress. "The four sisters can understand it once in class. They don't need tutoring after they come back, and I always see the lamp every day, so I can be equal to them. Doesn't my father really blame me for being stupid?"

Aunt Huang listened and added in good time: "it's not just lights. Every time I go to see three girls, it's almost dark. She's still practicing her own words and rules in the house."

"Still learning when it's dark?" Changxing Hou was surprised. The girls of the Chu family are pampered. The elders are very strict with the young master's homework, but it's very easy under the girl's name. After school, he is very diligent to continue to watch his homework. He practices alone until dark, which Changxing Hou dare not think of. After being surprised, Changxing Hou was satisfied with the three girls: "yes, you are so diligent that you will achieve great success in the future."

Seeing the appreciation in Changxing Hou's eyes, the three girls were very happy. She showed a happy and shy smile on her face. It seemed that she was overjoyed but slightly embarrassed after being appreciated by her father. She knew that Changxing Hou liked this shy, frank and naive look best. The three girls said, "if only my father didn't dislike me, even if I couldn't choose a companion, it would be worth it if I could get this reward from my father."

Changxing Hou also said with a smile, "your grandmother will see that you are so diligent. To choose a companion for the county Lord, intelligence is the second, and diligence is the most important. The county Lord is smart enough, but she is just impatient to study. It's also a good thing if you have such a diligent person around."

Hearing this, the three girls and Aunt Huang looked at each other and saw joy from each other's eyes. Changxing Hou, is this the third girl?

Chu Jinyao clenched her hand tightly. When others came to see it, they all showed different eyes. Chu brocade's delicate fingers crossed over the brocade and gently drew a smile from his mouth.

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

Chu Jinxian frowned and shouted, "that's enough. It's just a cloud brocade. Anyway, everyone has to choose one. This one belongs to Wu Niang. She can dispose of her own things."

The seventh girl tooted her mouth: "the pattern is to weave purple flowers on a white background. I like it too. Why give it to her?"

Chu Jinxian raised her face, took out the posture of her first sister, and stared at the seven girls. Seven girls were indignant and shut up.

The episode soon passed, and the girls happily threw themselves into choosing patterns. Although they couldn't see it on the surface, Chu Jinyao knew that they were laughing in their hearts.

After choosing the patterns, the girls still have to stay at the same place to do sewing. The girls who haven't come out of the cabinet stare at such things, because there are so many beautiful patterns, and the sisters have to stir up their mouths. Chu Jinyao was not happy. The room was in a mess. She went to Chu Jinxian and whispered, "elder sister, I'll go first."

Chu Jinxian looked at Chu Jinyao and wanted to talk, but finally sighed, "go."

Chu Jinyao went back to her house without stopping or talking. Clove holds Yunjin. The master doesn't speak, and she doesn't speak. Camellia follows Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao walks faster and faster, and camellia is panting.

Camellia thought to herself that she grew up in the countryside and was different from the serious daughter. The young ladies gasped after two steps. It's not like this. From rongning hall to Chaoyun courtyard, her servant girl was a little panting, but Chu Jinyao didn't do anything at all.

The Chaoyun courtyard where Chu Jinyao lives has a nice name, but its location is a little biased. Changxing Marquis house faces south and is divided into three roads: East, middle and West. The most noble and gorgeous yard in the north of the middle road belongs to the old lady of Chu. The Marquis and his wife Zhao live in the yard in the middle of the Middle Road, and the left and right roads live in other rooms. Chu Jinyao, as the legitimate daughter of the long house, should live with Zhao, but Zhao lives in the main courtyard. There are big girls and four girls in the cross courtyard on the left and right sides. The big girl's yard is the largest, and there is an independent small cross courtyard behind. There are several other concubines living in it, which obviously can't be moved. There is still a small yard behind the four girls' yard, but that is where Zhao put his dowry. Mammy Zhang suggested that she might as well vacate the dowry to the back cover room and move the yard to the five girls, but Zhao said that the back cover room was damp and was afraid that the red wooden box could not be put, so she found another idle yard on the East Road for Chu Jinyao.

Chaoyun courtyard is at the north corner of East Road. It is far and partial. Few people are willing to come so far. Chu Jinyao came here and lived alone in an independent yard. Just looking at the place, it was bigger than the big girl's yard, but the meaning behind it was completely different.

Chu Jinyao thought silently that even in their village, their children should live with their parents. She was assigned to the outside alone. It can be seen how much Zhao didn't like to see her. He didn't want to see her at all.

Camellia happily touched the brocade and thought, this is a tribute brocade. Anyway, five girls don't know. In the end, they should be able to make some dowry for themselves when they take over cutting and making clothes.

Camellia couldn't let go of the white purple flower brocade, but Chu Jinyao was not interested at all and said, "put it away."

"Put it away?" Camellia didn't give up. She grabbed Yunjin and didn't want to let go. Clove came to get it. Camellia grabbed the other end and refused to let go. Clove glared at her and said, "didn't you hear what the girl said?"

Camellia reluctantly let go. She watched lilac lock the brocade and took the key.

"I'm fine here. You go out first."

Clove and Camellia looked at each other. The girl couldn't leave people in the house... But Chu Jinyao's face was really bad. They didn't dare. They were blessed and said, "girl, let's go out first?"

"Yes."

When the house was completely quiet, Chu Jinyao sat on the bed, hugging her knees and leaning helplessly against the bed frame.

In this house, her mother turned a blind eye to her, her grandmother was high above her, the father who brought her back couldn't see her for a few days, she had no close people, and she was at a loss and helpless. Even her cousin deliberately ran on her, and she didn't know how to talk back.

Chu Jinyao always thinks that now everyone is not used to her. It's good to wait a long time. But she worked hard at school, but she still couldn't integrate into the Hou house. She doesn't understand these high rules. Isn't it her fault? Why didn't everyone give her a chance?
