Chapter 48
Chapter 48
Chu Jinyao is lost and is looking for Qin Yi to ask for directions. At this time, Chu Jinyao had heard: "are you the childe of my aunt's family?"
Lin Xining remembered that his grandmother mentioned in the letter that his uncle's family had the wrong daughter and had just found a five girl. It seems that this is the one in front of us.
Knowing that he had made a joke, Lin Xining bent over and bowed to Chu Jinyao: "I'm sorry, my fifth cousin. I was abrupt just now."
Chu Jinyao slightly avoided it and returned with his hands: "cousin, you don't have to."
When the misunderstanding was solved, Lin Xining felt a little sorry. He saw a strange woman walking around here, and her deeds were still very sneaky. Then he asked. If I knew it was my cousin, I wouldn't be so loud. The girls are more and more delicate. His voice is louder. What can I do if I scare these charming guests? Lin Xining wanted to compensate, so he asked, "why is my fifth cousin here?"
Chu Jinyao was a little embarrassed: "I'm lost."
Linxining suddenly, right, fifth cousin just came back, don't know this area of the road. Lin Xining said, "most of the yards here are vacant. It's really hard to identify. My cousin comes with me."
"Thank you, cousin." Chu Jinyao was so grateful that he quickly followed Lin Xining and walked out.
With Lin Xining leading the way, rongning hall will arrive soon. Chu Jinyao repeatedly thanked: "thank you, cousin, otherwise I don't know when to go around..."
Qin Yi gave a cold hum in his heart. It was clear that he brought Chu Jinyao out. The boy just took the last part of the way. Moreover, even if the Lin family doesn't show up, Chu Jinyao won't go around for a long time.
Of course, Chu Jinyao won't know these words.
Lin Xining smiled and opened the curtain for Chu Jinyao: "cousin, don't be polite. It's cold outside. Come in quickly."
"Where can I?" Lin Xining is a guest. She can't let Lin Xining play the curtain for her. Chu Jinyao said, "cousin, you go first."
The servant girl wanted to take it over. Lin Xining shook his head and said, "my cousin is a girl's family. She has a weak foundation. You go first."
Chu Jinyao was treated like this for the first time. She was flattered and came into the house. Later, Lin Xining followed and came in with Chu Jinyao.
The old lady and Chu Zhu and others were sitting in the west room talking. When they heard the sound of opening the door, the old lady said, "this is Ning Ge'er coming."
Chu Jinyao didn't dare to look up after entering the house. He immediately said, "Jinyao is late. Please forgive my grandmother and aunt."
Zhao frowned: "Why are you here now?"
All the other girls are there, but Chu Jinyao is not. Chu Zhu asked about it just now. Zhao's embarrassment is not good. Now he sees Chu Jinyao. He's really angry.
Chu Jinyao kept his greeting posture, lowered his head and said nothing. Lin Xining took the initiative to say, "it's not my cousin's fault. There are many idle yards in the east of rongning hall. I've been lost there many times before. It's inevitable that my cousin just came back. I just met my fifth cousin and brought my fifth cousin here."
Lin Xining said so. Naturally, Zhao didn't say much. Lin Xining is the only son of her younger sister-in-law or the prince of the prefecture. How dare she say others.
Old lady Chu frowned when she heard this: "who's with the five girls?"
After hearing this, rose took a hard step forward: "it's a slave."
Mother Gu leaned down and said something to old lady Chu. Old lady Chu's expression became worse and worse: "you are a second-class servant girl, and you don't even know the way?"
Mother Gu whispered, "my ancestors, our house was short of manpower years ago. She called people into the house and bought a batch of servant girls. She is here."
A new girl who can't even recognize her way into the house has become a second-class servant girl around the girl. The dignified and indifferent eyes of the old lady of Chu swept towards Zhao. Zhao quickly bowed her head and showed her posture of admitting her mistake. In front of Chu Zhu and so many young people, the old lady of Chu left face for Zhao without saying much. She just glanced at her and took back her sight. Yan stood beside him, secretly glancing over his face and smiling.
Zhao said she was stupid. She could suppress her aunt and servants in the backyard. She said she was smart. She always did something ridiculous.
The eldest girl is the eldest daughter. She was raised in front of the old lady since childhood. She is very respectable, but she is not close to the eldest girl. Parents always favor young children and girls. Yan also has children and girls. It can be understood that Zhao is devoted to doting on the four girls. But now it's said that the four girls are not her own, and she still plans to give them her heart and lungs. Is that stupid?
Yan smiled enough in his heart. Then he restrained himself from schadenfreude and said to Chu Zhu with a smile: "my aunt is blessed. Brother Ning is good-looking, filial and considerate. You will have more blessings in the future."
Chu Zhu listened to this and smiled slightly. Her eyes turned to Chu Jinyao. She looked around and asked, "today is the first time to see five girls. You just said, what's your name?"
Chu Jinyao said cautiously, "go back to my aunt. My name is Chu Jinyao."
"Yao......" Chu Zhu's eyes changed and turned to see old lady Chu. "Why don't five girls follow the generation of xian'er?"
Girls of the Chu family are named after women from the word brocade, which means taking flowers and flowers and women's virtue. Chu Jinyao's name "Yao" is the same generation as Chu Zhu.
As soon as Chu Zhu reminded me, Chu Laofu found that Chu Jinyao's name hit Chu Zhu's generation. She paused and said, "this child is also rough. She hasn't had a good life in the past 13 years. Her Yao character was given by a Taoist when she was born." the implication was that she didn't have to worry about it with a younger generation.
Chu Zhu is married after all. It's hard to meddle in the affairs of her mother's niece, not to mention that old lady Chu said so. Chu Zhu said, "I remember when I came back, four girls were always the most active. What about four girls?"
"Aunt, I'm here." Chu Jinmiao stood up and saluted Chu Zhu.
Chu Zhu pulled Chu Jinmiao and said with a smile, "you and five girls stand together and I'll have a good look at you."
Chu Jinmiao's smile stiffened. Since Chu Jinyao came, her identity has become more and more embarrassing. What she originally thought was right has become subtle. Moreover, there are many people in the big house. Chu Jinmiao can't avoid hearing some gossip. Now Chu Zhu also asked her to stand with Chu Jinyao and compare
Chu Jinyao doesn't matter. She has long been used to being seen. Chu Jinmiao almost moved in the direction of Chu Jinyao. When there were still two steps left, Chu Jinmiao refused to move forward.
There is a saying that if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods. Chu Jinmiao is the daughter of the peasant family. Her appearance is always inferior to that of the serious Miss Chu family. Now standing next to Chu Jinyao, the gap is more and more obvious. Chu Jinyao is a head higher than her. Although it is slightly dark, her facial features are at the rolling level. Chu Jinmiao's only advantage is that she is thinner than Chu Jinyao, but her thin is thin and not as comfortable as Chu Jinyao's natural body.
Qin Yi, who was quietly watching the play, felt too embarrassed.
Obviously, other ladies also felt that they tacitly did not continue the topic. Chu Zhu didn't expect that she had done something bad with kindness. She called Chu Jinmiao over and patted her hand quietly.
Chu Zhu regretfully thought that Chu Jinmiao was slimmer than Chu Jinyao and had a good temperament. At first glance, it was a child raised by a rich family, with a thin bookish spirit. The only regret is... Chu Jinyao is so much more beautiful than Chu Jinmiao. Chu Zhu is looking at Chu Jinmiao in her private heart. She can't say that Chu Jinyao is not good-looking without conscience.
Chu Zhu wanted Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao to stand together and let everyone have a look. Although Chu Jinmiao still stayed in the Hou house, her biological parents did something like that. It is inevitable that some people with shallow eyelids despised her in the Hou house. Chu Zhu did this to remind people to see what is called Miss Qianjin. The noble spirit raised by the Hou door is not comparable to that of some inexplicable village women.
As a result, I was embarrassed.
Although Chu Jinyao is the real Chu girl, for Zhao, the old lady of Chu and Chu Zhu, Chu Jinmiao is the one they grew up with. It really hurts her over the years. Leng Buding came up with Chu Jinyao, who said that they had hurt the wrong person before. Chu Jinyao is the real daughter. Chu Jinmiao is fake. Who can accept it? Chu Chu was puzzled when she received the letter.
Chu Jinyao is a real stranger to her. Chu Zhu originally thought that Chu Jinyao must be vulgar and greedy when she grew up in a farm. Once a sparrow turns into a Phoenix, she will show her greed, selfishness and love of money. Where can she compare with Chu Jinmiao, knowledgeable and reasonable?
When she met Chu Jinyao herself, Chu Zhu didn't see the picture she had expected, but Chu Zhu still felt that if she was raised in a poor family, she must be poor at root. Now she can't see it, and she must show signs in the future. Chu Zhu thought with some regret that if Chu Jinyao's face grew on Chu Jinmiao, it would be perfect.
Old lady Chu looked at this stubble silently. When Chu Zhu stopped, she said, "it's getting late. Let's set the meal."
With the old lady of Chu, there is no need to avoid the rules of different seats for men and women at the age of seven. Lin Xining accompanied the old lady to dinner with the young masters and girls of the Chu family. The old lady naturally sat in the middle. Chu Zhu and Lin Xining sat on the old lady's right hand, Chu Jinxian sat on the old lady's left hand, and Zhao's and Yan's daughters-in-law had to stand and serve their mother-in-law.
The seats on both sides of Mrs. Chu have always been the most favored people. The old lady's preference is the wind direction. Such people are also flattered in the inner house. Now Chu Zhu and Lin Xining are on one side and Chu Jinxian is on the other. Chu Jinyao can fully understand. As for herself... She's on the other table.
There are eight people sitting at a table, and several young masters are there. How can the heaviest old lady be her turn at that table
Halfway through the meal, the old lady said to Zhao and others, "you've been standing all day. Sit down and have a rest."
Zhao and others gave way once, and then put down the cloth chopsticks. Immediately, a servant girl brought a stool and waited on the three ladies.
After dinner, Chu Jinyao went back to his yard and secretly said to Qin Yi: "Today's solemn scene, we young people can sit and eat, but mother and they have to stand and make rules for cloth dishes and stand for half a meal before they can sit at the table. In this way, many people say that grandmother cares for her daughter-in-law. Obviously, they are charming guests before they get married. Why do they have to do this after they get married?"
"It's etiquette and law. There's no way." Qin Yi sighed. "Taiyuan is better. The rules in the capital are heavy. When you meet your old-fashioned mother-in-law, you have to tell you the rules for everything. That's what we call negotiation."
Qin Yi was the prince. Although he spent most of his time in the court, he also heard about these things. The bride's life was not easy. When he thought that Chu Jinyao would have to do the same in the future, he felt worried for her.
She's one track minded and easy to trust other people's brains. What can she do if she really meets a mean mother-in-law? He wants to mention that Chu Jinyao should pay attention to the man's family when he gets engaged in the future, but he feels that he is a foreign man and will leave sooner or later, while the other party is her husband's family. Maybe Chu Jinyao will complain after he says it.
He'd better not get involved in such things.
Chu Jinyao thought that she would serve her mother-in-law like this in the future, so she felt that there was no light in life. She was depressed for a long time. Qin Yi saw that Chu Jinyao was too depressed, so he had to take the initiative to speak and divert her attention: "I see you secretly took a look at Lin Xining today. Are you..."
"No!" Chu Jinyao blushed and said, "what are you doing? What are you doing?"
In fact, Qin Yi is right. It is rare for women in the inner house to see men outside. Lin Xining is just the right age and beautiful. He is still the childe of the prefecture. Girls keep sneaking at him throughout the banquet. Chu Jinyao saw a noble man of the same age for the first time. He was still a gentle and considerate young childe. He had a good heart and secretly glanced at him. It was normal.
Qin Yi snorted softly and said, "you still take advantage of me. I have been able to understand those palaces since I was ten years old... What women are thinking. Your careful thinking is not enough for them."
"I said I didn't!"
"You didn't. what are you yelling at me for?"
"You're so annoying." Chu Jinyao angrily took off the jade pendant and put it on the small table outside the shelf bed. He splashed down the curtain, "I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me."
After a while, Qin Yi said leisurely, "they're right. Women really don't make sense."
Lin Xiyuan entered the house with a smile. He looked ahead all the way. He didn't look around. There were so many girls sitting around. He didn't look up impolitely. Lin Xining went to the old lady of Chu and gave her younger generation a standard and leisurely ceremony: "I've seen the old lady of Chu. The old lady of Chu is in good health."
The old lady of Chu was always serious, but when she saw Lin Xiyuan, she couldn't help smiling comfortingly: "it's the son of God. How can the son of God think of our Changxing Marquis house? The hospitality is not good. Please forgive me."
Lin Xiyuan said with a smile, "what are you talking about, old lady? The Marquis of Changxing is the home of Zhong Ming and Ding Shi. Along the way, the rules of your house are well regulated, which has taught me a lot. How can you call the reception poor?"
The old lady of Chu was said to laugh. She seldom had such a happy time. The deep eight character lines on her mouth laughed: "just like the son of the world."
After greeting the old lady of Chu, Lin Xiyuan saluted like Chu Zhu: "second aunt." after that, he smiled and nodded to Lin Xining and others: "second brother, big sister, second sister."
Chu Zhu returned to her mother's house and naturally brought her children and concubines. Lin Xiyuan is the eldest son of the royal palace. His second brother is Lin Xining, his eldest sister is Lin Baoying, Chu Zhu's concubine, and his second sister is Lin Baohuan.
Compared with the Changxing Marquis, there are too many descendants in the huailing palace. The prince and Princess of the county have only one son and one daughter, both of whom are legitimate, that is, the son of God and the county leader Lin Baozhu. The second master of the palace is Chu Zhu's husband-in-law, and there is only one son, Lin Xining, a commoner and two daughters.
Lin Baohuan is the charming daughter of the Royal Palace and the only legitimate daughter of her aunt. Since she came to Changxing Hou's house, many stars have supported the moon. But now in front of Lin Xiyuan, Lin Baohuan didn't dare to be a little arrogant, so he quickly bowed his head and saluted: "big brother."
Lin Xiyuan is their eldest brother and the son of the royal palace. Even though he seems to have a mild temper, Lin Baohuan knows that their eldest brother is far more than that.
The girls of the Chu family saw that Lin Baohuan, who always had eyes on his head, was as good as a rabbit in front of Lin Xiyuan. They became more and more upset about Lin Xiyuan. Mr. Pianpian has a distinguished family background, beautiful appearance and always smiles. Which girl doesn't like this kind of good childe in the turbid world?
Lin Xiyuan stands in rongning hall, which is the focus of attention. The girls are secretly looking at Lin Xiyuan. They thought that their cousin Lin Xining was outstanding yesterday, but now they have seen the son of God, Lin Xining has become flat. To put it bluntly, like their brothers, Lin Xining's actions are noble under the guidance of his family, but they are not much different from his peers, because everyone is like this. But Lin Xiyuan is obviously different.
Lin Xiyuan was wearing a lot of eyes, but his smile did not change. There was no stiffness on his face. It seemed that he was used to being noticed. He talked and laughed with the old lady of Chu, Chu Zhu and other elders in a calm manner. He was modest and elegant. Anyone who saw him had to praise him, and the younger generation was awesome.
Chu Jinmiao looked at it secretly for a while and took back his sight, but the hand on his side was more and more tight. This is the difference between the prince's residence and the Hou's residence. If you educate your heirs, the second childe will not have the light of Lin Xiyuan. As long as she goes to the prince's residence, she will have the opportunity to contact people like the county Lord and the prince. In the future, by taking the opportunity of the county Lord, she can often meet the prince and maybe the crown prince! It's much more promising to stay in Changxing Hou's house!
Chu Jinmiao thinks so. Other girls are not fools. Daring to continue to secretly aim at Lin Xiyuan, who has a gully in his heart, has lowered his eyes and bowed his head. I don't know what he's thinking.
Their standing posture did not change, but the distance between the sisters suddenly alienated.
The old lady of Chu asked the old prince of the palace carefully about his body. After Lin Xiyuan finished, the old lady of Chu said with a smile: "It's really hard for the son of God to come here today. Since he has come all the way, he might as well stay a few more days. Our two houses are in laws. It's a very close relationship. Your aunt and Ning Ge'er are all here. You can take this place as your own home and live at ease. These are your cousins. There's no need to divide them."
After the old lady Chu said, Lin Xiyuan turned around and bowed to the girls: "Hello, cousins."
Although he turned around, he looked at the ground with empty eyes and didn't look at the girl's face. The old lady was more and more satisfied when she saw it, and even Zhao and others were smiling.
This is really a good man. He has a good family background, good talents and good conduct. He really has no choice.
When the prince spoke to them, the girls lowered their heads slightly and squatted down to salute the Prince: "Hello, cousin."
In fact, the sound of cousins and cousins was far fetched. But the old lady said so. They knew what the elders meant, so they half pushed and half obeyed. Chu Jinyao mingled with the sisters, lowered her head, tried to reduce her sense of existence, and greeted Lin Xiyuan like a fly.
There are seven or eight girls in three rooms. These girls usually have different temperaments, some jump off and some don't like to talk, but at the moment, they are all gentle and delicate, and the salute also shows the peak of etiquette class. If mother Hua is here, I don't know how much emotion to feel.
Yan's shrewd, sharp mouth is also the most talkative. When she saw Lin Xiyuan, she felt that the big fish could not be let go. Seeing the current situation, she took the opportunity to come forward and said with a hearty smile: "it's all a family. There's no need to be so polite between cousins. It seems that the son of the world is coming for the first time, and people don't recognize it completely?"
Lin Xiyuan's eyes flashed and said with a smile, "yes. Please introduce my cousins to me."
As early as when Yan spoke, the old lady of Chu felt inappropriate. Before she could stop it, she heard Lin Xiyuan smiling. The old lady of Chu was surprised. She looked at mammy Gu and sat back, intending to watch the change.
As soon as Yan Shi saw that Lin Xiyuan should go, she became more and more happy and enthusiastically introduced the girls. During the introduction, she made a little effort in words to focus on the girls in the second room, while those in other rooms just took one sentence.
After hearing this, Zhao was so angry that his liver hurt, but it was very difficult to attack in front of outsiders. Yan pointed to Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao, played a trick and said, "these two are the four and five girls in our family. The son of the world should be very jealous of the five girls. She just picked them up from the outside."
This is Yan's cunning. She introduced Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao at the same time, but Chu Jinmiao skipped it and emphasized that the five girls had just been picked up from the outside.
What kind of girl has just been picked up from the outside? No one will think of the reasons such as being held wrong. Everyone defaults to the fact that they are the daughters of the outside room.
He was clearly a legitimate daughter, but Yan hinted that she was prejudiced. But can you say Yan was wrong? No. Chu Jinyao admired it. Speaking in the back house is really a skill.
But Chu Jinyao didn't mean to correct it. She didn't have any idea about the son. It was a shame during the day. She wanted the son not to look at her at all.
Lin Xiyuan said to Chu Jinyao with a smile, "Hello, fifth cousin."
With that, his smiling eyes looked straight at Chu Jinyao.
Chu Jinyao hung her eyes and didn't look at Lin Xiyuan. The others saw it. Although they secretly hated Chu Jinyao for getting Lin Xiyuan's personal Hello, they turned their eyes when they saw Chu Jinyao's performance.
Old lady Chu also thought that Chu Jinyao had rules. Although she came from a poor family, she didn't take the opportunity to play with them. The rules were even better than the young lady who grew up in the house. Old lady Chu was very satisfied and changed a lot about this granddaughter who came out of thin air.
Outsiders thought Chu Jinyao was polite. In fact, the real reason why Chu Jinyao didn't dare to look up scared them to death. Chu Jinyao kept complaining. She was afraid of being recognized. In the afternoon, she made a special excuse to go back and change her clothes. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiyuan came with the old lady and said hello one by one. Chu Jinyao was very sad. She changed her clothes. Why was she recognized coming?
Lin Xiyuan's arrival was like a stone thrown into the ladies' quiet boudoir life like a lake. On the surface, the lake was as calm as before, but there was a turbulent undercurrent underneath.
This time, the ladies intuitively realized what it meant to be selected as a companion.
Chu Jinyao returned to the Chaoyun courtyard that day. When she went to bed, she sat on the small collapse in the West and complained to Qin Yi: "do you think I should choose this companion?"
Qin Yi thought about what kind of life he lived with his accompanying readers. He really couldn't say that accompanying readers was a good job without conscience. He said, "accompanying readers looks bright, but secretly, it's inevitable to carry a black pot for the prince and princess."
Chu Jinyao nodded: "Yes, I think so, too. But it's not easy to have Mammy to teach me. I was already short of others. Now if I don't grasp such a good opportunity, I deserve to be laughed at by the four girls. Therefore, I think I'll study hard in class in the daytime. When I finally go to the princess's residence to see the princess, I deliberately dress poorly and lose the election."
Qin Yi agreed. He found that Chu Jinyao's state of mind was surprisingly good, progressive, but free and easy. Qin Yi asked, "although huailing is not up or down, it's a prefecture after all. Don't you move at all?"
"It's exciting. But it also depends on whether it's mine." Chu Jinyao smiled, raised his jade pendant and said, "do you think I'll say I'm not excited?"
"That's right." Qin Yi wanted to keep his face taut, but he couldn't help laughing at last, "you dead heart."
"Who doesn't want to live a better life? If I have a chance to live a better life, I will fight for it. But I'm so ugly in front of the son of God. I don't have a chance. It's better to calm down and learn something from Mammy. This is the serious thing."
Qin Yi didn't speak. The common problem of men was that he didn't like people who tried their best to climb up. He always felt that a quiet and indifferent woman was good. But now, hearing Chu Jinyao say so, he felt very real and lovely.
The women in the harem who say they don't fight, actually don't fight, but it's the biggest fight.
"You should go to bed," Qin Yi said. "I'm afraid there will be trouble tomorrow."
Chu Jinyao sighed after hearing this: "it turns out that these girls hide their words in their words. They can't do it if they have a plan. Now they want to compete for the position of accompaniment. They don't know what they can bite. You say, what if I'm hurt by mistake?"
"Don't worry."
"Hmm? You mean you'll help me avoid it?"
"No." Qin Yi told the truth calmly and coldly, "I mean, you will be hurt by mistake. How can you beat the others? You have to eat more losses to learn such a thing as intrigue. Anyway, you have a solid skin and nothing. Don't worry. You should go and remember it for a long time."
"You're so annoying." Chu Jinyao slammed the jade pendant onto the floor, took a fruit tray from the nearby table with bare feet, and snapped it back on the jade pendant's head. "Then I'll give you a long memory. You can sleep like this at night."
Qin Yi smiled low. Chu Jinyao dared to laugh when she heard the goods. She became more and more angry. She had planned to scare him. Now she was really angry. She really didn't go to Guan Yupei. She went to bed by herself, put down the curtain and went to bed.
After the candle lights went out, only the moonlight scattered on the floor alone through the window lattice. It was clear and quiet. In the moonlight, a figure slowly came out of the jade pendant. He was very tall, straight shoulders, thin waist and thin body with the thin figure of a young man, but his back was very straight and bony. He was wearing a set of indigo narrow sleeved clothes, and the cuffs were embroidered with gold thread Four clawed Python dragon.
Qin Yi's soul is getting stronger and stronger these days. Gradually, he can get rid of the jade pendant and walk outside alone, but now he still can't grasp the real object. The moonlight shines on Qin Yi and is projected onto the ground through him. His face is almost as clear and white as the moonlight, his eyes are sharp and bright, and the corners of his eyes fly up slightly, looking delicate and heroic.
Qin Yi went out and walked around at night in recent days to see if he could find any clues from the Chu house. He planned to go to the yard in the daytime. He had a fever before he expected Chu Jinyao. Qin Yi was going to avoid his eyes and ears and go out. Before leaving, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the shelf bed.
Chu Jinyao fell asleep. She turned over in her sleep and stretched half her shoulders and arms out of the quilt.
February is chilly in spring, and the night is quite cool. If she sleeps like this, her shoulder will hurt when she gets up tomorrow.
Qin Yi turned back, pulled up the brocade quilt and covered Chu Jinyao.
Qin Yi suddenly found that he could touch real things.
This is really good news.
Lu Yao knows the horsepower and sees the hearts of the people for a long time. Chu Jinyao wrote this sentence in front of the people, which can not only extricate herself and wash away the sewage she can't write, but also secretly show her honest heart and backhand satirize Chu Jinmiao and others.
Kikyo asked happily, "girl, how did you remember to write this poem?"
Chu Jinyao sighed: "it's not what I thought. It's too dangerous today."
Chu Jinmiao and others guessed right. Chu Jinyao really can't write, at least not with a brush.
After all, she grew up in a poor peasant family. Which peasant family is willing to read and write for girls? Chu Jinyao knows most of the characters, which is extremely rare in the village.
Although the Su family was poor, when Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinmiao were born, Zhao stayed with the Su family and gave them a box of gold hairpins as a reward. Not to mention how much the gold hairpins were worth, it was enough for the Su family to have enough food and clothing for a long time. However, Su's mother was stingy by nature, especially for Su Hui and Chu Jinyao. If she could save, she had to wear big clothes The old clothes are for the young. But for Su Sheng, his only son, his parents are very willing to spend money. They even bite their teeth and send Su Sheng to a private school in the village, hoping to provide a scholar.
Chu Jinyao doesn't think Su Sheng's straw bag can get a reputation. Su Sheng is spoiled by his family. Since childhood, he knows to command his two sisters. He spends a lot of money to study in a private school every day. He doesn't even turn over his books when he comes back. On the contrary, Chu Jinyao is only one year away from Su Sheng. She knows many words by Su Sheng's light. However, although Chu Jinyao can probably recognize the commonly used words, she can't write at all. Obviously, the Su family won't give her a chance to practice writing. Chu Jinyao avoided his family when she was a child and practiced on the sand several times, but how can writing on the sand be the same as writing on paper?
Moreover, the Changxing Marquis house uses excellent rabbit hair pens, and the nibs are soft. Without a few years of wrist Kung Fu, how can you learn to use pens.
Thanks to Qin Yi, Chu Jinyao was able to write the five words "know horsepower from a distance". Qin Yi is really impatient to see Chu Jinyao do needlework, and the time in the boudoir is so boring that he can only rush Chu Jinyao to the study and teach her to write. These five words were given to Chu Jinyao by Qin Yi just in case. Who would have thought that it was really used.
Kikyo took the sewing basket and asked, "girl, do you want to make sewing today?"
"No, Mammy talked a lot today. I'm going to study." Chu Jinyao stood up and walked to the two study rooms in the East. She also specially left a message to the servant girls: "I want to study in the study. Don't come in and disturb me."
"Yes."
When the door was closed, Chu Jinyao immediately fell asleep and shouted softly, "Qi Ze, Qi Ze, are you there?"
Qin Yi said softly, "aren't you impatient to practice calligraphy? Why have you changed your attitude now?"
Chu Jinyao has a thick skin when facing Qin Yi. She said, "I've come to thank you! If you hadn't urged me before, I would make a big fool of myself today! But I can't hide it for a while. I can only write these five words. I'll reveal the truth sooner or later! If the four girls catch the flaw at that time..." Chu Jinyao felt fighting all over when she thought about it. She said, "I don't want it! I ridiculed Chu Jinmiao today. If she found out that I can't write in the future, she will return it three or four times! I don't want it, Qi Ze, Qi Ze..."
Speaking of the end, Chu Jinyao's tone is lengthened, which has brought the coquettish posture that you won't obey me if you don't promise.
Qin Yi sighed. Being coquettish is really a woman's talent. Chu Jinyao knew how to grind him naturally. Qin Yi had no choice but to say helplessly, "OK, I won't ignore you. Go and study the ink."
Chu Jinyao gave a clear "Hey" and ran to study ink happily. She had just finished spreading the paper when she suddenly heard Camellia calling her outside. Chu Jinyao had to put down what she was doing and go out to have a look.
Chu Jinyao walked inside while talking to Kikyo and others: "it's hot these days. Wash these jacket clothes and put them away. By the way, fur clothes are prone to moisture. Don't put them away until they are dried!"
"Yes." Kikyo went out with his clothes. Clove followed Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao went through Linglang's full Bogu rack and said, "I don't need your service here. Go out and do other things first. I'm reading in the study. Don't let other little servant girls come in and quarrel with me."
Clove "ah" gave a sound and obediently turned and went out. Chu Jinyao opened the gauze cabinet, raised her head unprepared, and saw a man standing in front of her desk.
Chu Jinyao was so frightened that she took a step back and bumped her back against the gauze cabinet. At that moment, her legs were soft.
Chu Jinyao opened her mouth slightly and couldn't make a sound for a long time. Clove didn't go far. When she heard the sound, she ran over and asked, "girl, what's the matter with you?"
Chu Jinyao arranged a study for Dongzao. Since it is a study, it must be separated from the outside, otherwise it will be messy. Now Chu Jinyao's hand is on the blue gauze cabinet he ordered to install. Through the gauze on the partition fan, he can see the shadow of the maid coming and going outside. The sound of lilac seemed to be in her ear. Chu Jinyao leaned nervously against the partition fan and was not sure whether to push the door to let people in.
The culprit of all this is standing in front of the desk reading the calligraphy. When he hears the voice of clove, he doesn't have the slightest urgency. Instead, he raises his head with a mocking smile in his eyes and looks at Chu Jinyao.
It seems that he also wants to see what Chu Jinyao is going to do.
Chu Jinyao took a deep breath and looked down involuntarily to see each other's shadow. Seeing Chu Jinyao's action, the other party picked his eyebrows, and a low smile overflowed his chest.
There was no shadow, quietly appeared in her house, and was particularly arrogant. Chu Jinyao thought she had hit a ghost. Later, he looked so arrogant that she felt familiar with him. Chu Jinyao slowly calmed his soul, lowered his voice and asked tentatively, "Qi Ze?"
The other party just smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he continued to look through Chu Jinyao's calligraphy on the table. At this time, the lilac outside the door looked at it for a long time and was a little flustered. He shouted again, "girl?"
Listen to her tone, I'll push the door in soon.
Chu Jinyao rushed out and shouted, "I'm fine. I just accidentally knocked down the penholder. It's ready now."
"Girl, are you really all right?" Lilac still hesitated. "Do you want me to come in and help you clean up?"
"No, no..."
At this moment, Qin Yi said, "you don't choose these calligraphy well..."
"Don't talk!" Chu Jinyao quickly turned back and glared at Qin Yi angrily. Her eyes turned slightly, motioned outward, and whispered to Qin Yi, "I'm busy. Don't make trouble!"
Oh, how dare anyone in the world suspect him of making trouble? Qin Yi shook his head with an inexplicable smile, but he really didn't make a sound again.
When Chu Jinyao easily sent the cloves away, she was secretly relieved. She didn't have time to drink tea to moisten her mouth, so she hurried to see Qin Yi.
