The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 3

When she got to the compartment, Chu Jinyao opened her eyes. This is the most beautiful and exquisite cloth she has ever seen. By the way, this is not cloth, this is brocade.

The girls cheered and flew to see. Even Chu Jinxian, the most advanced Zhuang Shuxian, smiled and walked quickly. The girls of the Chu family picked up the brocade and had a heated discussion with each other to compare which one was better. Chu Jinyao also gathered around, stared in surprise and touched it carefully as if she had encountered some rare treasure.

Chu Jinyao was amazed by the touch of the hand. Cloud brocade is a special tribute silk fabric from Tianfu. It is as bright as clouds, so it is named cloud brocade. The cost of cloud brocade is very high. With the cooperation of the most skilled weaver, they can only weave more than an inch a day, so it has the name of inch brocade and inch gold. All these rare and exquisite cloud brocade must be presented to the noble people in the palace. Only those who have access to the weaving house can buy a few pieces in pieces. Moreover, they are small in number and cannot be sold on a large scale. In this way, the market price of folk brocade can be imagined.

Even the girls who were born in Hou's residence, let alone Chu Jinyao, feel rare. Chu Jinyao couldn't help but touch 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 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?

Chu Jinyao thought and unknowingly burst into tears. The poor people's children were in charge early. Chu Jinyao didn't even cry, because she knew that even if she cried, no one would coax her, but would worry her sister Su Hui.

After a while, a voice suddenly sounded in the quiet room: "don't cry."

Chu Jinyao was shocked and forgot to cry. Tears still hung on her cheeks, but the man stood up with a swish and looked around the house.

Is there anyone in the room?

But she clearly let everyone out... No, the voice just now, even if the other party's voice was as clear as water hitting jade, but listening to the timbre, it was clearly a man.

Chu Jinyao looked around and didn't see anyone in the room. Her hair stood up. The yard is far and partial. I heard it has been idle for many years. Is it... Is it haunted here?

Chu Jinyao's face turned white. She stammered, "who are you sacred?" however, her steps had slowly moved towards the door and planned to open the door for help as soon as she reached the door.

The voice didn't appear for a long time. After a while, the other party smiled very softly. There was a clear smile in the voice: "do you think I'm a ghost?"

Chu Jinyao paused and asked, "isn't it?" she was still playing drums in her heart. Why did she feel that the sound was getting closer and closer to her, as if it were around her

"There's something behind you!"

"Ah!" Chu Jinyao screamed and squatted down on her knees. When the other party saw a casual word, she was scared like this and smiled happily. These laughter are different from that of Fang Cai. Fang Cai's laughter is very cold. It seems to be caused by years of habit, but now it's really funny.

The other party's voice is very good. It's the best voice Chu Jinyao has ever heard. However, this can't hide the hatefulness of the other party. Now Chu Jinyao recognizes it, and the voice comes from her jade pendant!

Chu Jinyao yanked down the jade pendant, threw it on the bed and scolded, "you bastard!"

The jade pendant bounced on the quilt twice and soon fell into the pile of brocade. The other party seemed surprised and asked, "what did you say?"

When he said this, his voice did not fluctuate, but it was slightly raised at the end, which meant great threat. Chu Jinyao heard that the bastard ghost almost scared her to death. Now she is still so arrogant and becomes more and more angry. She quickly walked to the bedside, picked up the jade pendant and fell on the bed: "you're scary and reasonable?"

Chu Jinyao grew up in the village and was restless at home, so Chu Jinyao was not submissive. She has been aggrieved and seeking perfection in the Hou house these days. First, she was frightened by the prosperity of the Hou house. The emperor was even frightened when he saw the heavenly palace. How could she be alive when she, a 13-year-old girl, came to a new environment where she didn't know anything and didn't know anything? Second, Chu Jinyao wants to get along well with his real relatives. Therefore, no matter who she met, she always showed a third smile and said hello. She was also trying to learn and imitate.

Although now it seems that she is not very optimistic.

Now, Chu Jinyao's anger erupted immediately when he met an unidentified monster who played tricks on people and was particularly arrogant. However, although she was horizontal, her brain was very smart. She smashed the jade pendant hard, but they all fell into bed. I'm kidding. This is the life-saving jade pendant she brought from childhood. If she knocks and touches it, she feels more painful than anyone else. Even if you want to teach unknown spirits a lesson, you can't break your own things!

The voice in the jade pendant obviously didn't expect that someone would dare to treat him like this one day. He was thrown around and didn't speak. When he finally stopped, he smiled coldly: "you are Chu Jinyao, the family of the Marquis of Changxing. Wait."

"How do you know my name?" Chu Jinyao was surprised and suspicious. Chu Jinyao didn't wait for the other party to answer. At this time, there was a voice of Camellia outside the house: "girl, what's the matter with you?"

Chu Jinyao screamed and fell things, which had already alerted the people outside.

Chu Jinyao didn't answer, but lowered her voice and threatened the jade pendant on the bed: "you tell me honestly, or I'll give you to someone outside. Ask monks and Taoists to come and do it at that time. You may be scared!"

The voice in the jade pendant smiled softly and briefly and said, "try it. I'm so big that no one dares to threaten me."

Chu Jinyao really can't help it if the other party doesn't eat hard and soft. Look at this, the jade pendant is not a ghost. It's mostly a monster. When Chu Jinyao was in the village, he heard people say that jade has aura, and many fairies rely on the essence of heaven and earth to practice immortality. Chu Jinyao felt that her jade was wonderful since she was a child. With it, she wouldn't even have a little cold all year round, so there was a strange thing in the jade. Although Chu Jinyao was unexpected, she also felt it was reasonable.

Her jade used to be carried close to her body, otherwise she would have been left by Su Shengshun. When we arrived at Hou's house, we had to pay attention to many clothes. We had to wear several layers of clothes inside and outside. Chu Jinyao couldn't be placed close to her. She had to learn from others, cover a tie outside the jade pendant and hang it on the outside of the clothes.

In fact, Chu Jinyao didn't intend to really hand over the jade pendant. She was just bluffing. This is her jade. She has been with her for 13 years. It is the essence in the jade. Chu Jinyao also thinks it is a good essence towards her. If it's true, as long as the man in Yuli doesn't speak, who knows whether Chu Jinyao's words are true or not. Maybe people in Hou's house will suspect Chu Jinyao's brain is bad and crazy in the daytime. At that time, Zhao had a clear excuse to send Chu Jinyao away. Chu Jinyao is not stupid. Hou's house is her home. Why should she leave and give it to outsiders? So Chu Jinyao must stay and live well.

Seeing that the essence in the jade pendant was not frightened, and the camellia was shouting outside, Chu Jinyao had to raise her voice and say, "I'm fine. Go down."

Seeing Chu Jinyao insist, Camellia mumbled a few words and left like this. Chu Jinyao listened to the camellia and walked away. Then she looked at the Jade Pendant: "Why are you in my jade pendant? Do you have a name?"

Qin Yi also wants to know why he is in a portable jade pendant of Miss Hou men. He took people to chase the Tatar barbarians that day. Later, he seemed to be hurt. When he regained consciousness, he would be here.

Qin Yi estimated that most of his soul came out of the body as those Taoists in the Palace said. His injury that day was not light. Maybe it was because he hurt the foundation, so the spirit did not belong to him. In fact, as like as two peas, Chu Yi and Yao, who are very similar to Chu Jin Yao, are all white jade, and their texture is the same, but his jade ornaments are even bigger. Qin Yi has been carrying the jade pendant with him for many years. When he went out that day, he forgot that it appeared on Chu Jinyao's jade pendant after he was seriously injured. This kind of jade pendant should have the effect of nourishing the soul. Qin Yi was much more comfortable in this way. That year, the wandering Taoist tricked his mother into buying the jade pendant at a high price and boasted that he could protect his life in a critical moment. Qin Yi originally scoffed at it, but now it seems that it is true.

He obviously felt that his soul would recover a lot with each less red catkin in the white jade.

As for the latter question, Qin Yi paused for a moment and said, "my name is Qi Ze. Call me Qi Ze."

"Qi Ze..." Chu Jinyao said, "good name."

"Yes," Qin Yi said faintly. After he was born, his name was drawn up by the Taifu, and the imperial eunuch judged evil and good. Taifu said that Yi is a vast river and should benefit all things, so he gave him the word "Yize". Qin Yi took a word from his own word and added his mother's surname. Therefore, this is really a good name, which was proposed by the Taifu and the cabinet.

Chu Jinyao choked. She wanted to get along well with Qi Ze. Then she began to praise his name and said that she would not hit the smiling face! However, Qi Ze really should go down?

Chu Jinyao thought that the essence must have just become an essence and did not understand the human and worldly wisdom of the world. Chu Jinyao thought that she had to be more considerate of him. So Chu Jinyao magnanimously didn't argue with Qi Ze, but asked, "Qi Ze, when did you appear in my jade pendant?"

For the first time, Qin Yi was speechless. A moment later, Qin Yi said vaguely, "just a few days ago."

"A few days ago..." Chu Jinyao was embarrassed. "Did you see everything today?"

Actually, more than that.

Qin Yi was awakened by the woman's cry. He wanted to scold who dared to cry in his room, but he raised his hand and found it wrong. After the initial surprise and accident, Qin Yi soon calmed down and watched the situation. Later, he knew that the woman in front of him was Chu Jinyao. She had just been found from outside and just cried because she heard some bad words from her biological mother.

Qin Yi thought the little girl was pathetic, but he still didn't intend to intervene. A living person's soul goes out of the body and still stays in a jade pendant of Miss Hou men. Qin Yi also thinks it's a Arabian Night, not to mention that Qin Yi doesn't want the Chu family to know his existence. So these days, Qin Yi didn't say anything, just stayed in Chu Jinyao's jade pendant silently, and left without trace after his injury.

Chu Jinyao didn't realize anything. She went out with her jade pendant and said hello. When she came back at night, she secretly cried with her jade pendant. Qin Yi was embarrassed. Besides being embarrassed, he was also guilty.

If you are so close to a woman, go out and live together, sleep together and lie down together, you can't do it.

Qin Yi had planned to ruin it, but Chu Jinyao cried on the bedstead today. He still cried silently. Qin Yi really couldn't stand it, so he had to dry comfort: "don't cry."

You know, in Qin Yi's life, it has been his rare consideration and kindness.

As a result, Chu Jinyao was not comforted. Instead, he was terrified. Later, he dared to disrespect him. Qin Yi felt that, for the sake of how much her jade pendant was a rescue, he would remember it for her first and not investigate it for the time being. If he committed it again later... Ah.

Chu Jinyao doesn't know the Kung Fu of this short film. She has walked back and forth from the list of special care of the royal guards. She was still thinking about what happened just now: "I hooked the brocade today, and you saw it?"

"It's just a piece of cloud brocade." Qin Yi sniffed. The royal family receives mountains of cloud brocade every year. In the Imperial Palace, cloud brocade is ordinary, but it's just a kind of cloth for clothes. Chu Jinyao cried because of a cloud brocade, which Qin Yi really couldn't understand. He thought to himself that if Chu Jinyao liked it, after he was cured, he would ask someone to send her a car, as long as she didn't cry again in the future.

Chu Jinyao sighed: "it's not because of Yunjin..."

She simply sat on her feet, put her chin in the quilt, and talked face to face with a jade pendant: "Cloud brocade is rare. In the final analysis, it's just a piece of cloth. It's good to have it, but it's almost good not to wear it. It's not worth crying. I can't help crying. I just feel helpless. I really try hard to adapt to the life here, but I haven't seen a large family. How can I know the stress of these high schools? Even if I work hard, they should give me a time to learn But they didn't. They were all laughing at me secretly, and my mother, who knew I had just come and didn't understand anything, didn't even arrange for me to teach rules. "

Hearing Chu Jinyao's words, Qin Yi agrees very much. Yes, no matter how valuable it is, it's just a dead thing. Where is it worth suffering for the living? After hearing this, it's unreasonable. For example, Qin Yi also feels distressed.

The daughter has just been found. In ordinary families, there are mothers who ask for help and teach them in person. They want to make up for all the missing maternal love. However, in Chu Jinyao, Zhao refuses to send even a capable mother. Qin Yi doesn't think it's necessary. The dignified madam Hou is not so stingy. Most of them are Zhao's forgetfulness, and she doesn't care at all.

Chu Jinyao was only 13 years old. She suddenly entered a completely strange environment. How helpless she should be. However, Zhao's mother didn't care. The old lady of Chu couldn't see the suffering of the world. Changxing Hou seldom went back to her house and had long forgotten her newly found daughter. In the end, Qin Yi, a complete outsider, couldn't see it and said: "I understand the house rules. Let me teach you."
