The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 49

Chu Jinyao is lost and is looking for Qin Yi to ask for directions. Chu Jinyao took care of mother sun that day, and went to learn poetry with mother Deng. When she returned to Chaoyun hospital, she was tired again.

But even so, she insisted on practicing calligraphy. Qin Yi looked at it, frowned and said, "you've been learning the rules for so long today. Let's have a rest first."

Chu Jinyao shook her head without raising her head: "this is the homework that must be done every day. How can I lack it? I can bear it. Chu Jinmiao and I are so different. If I don't work hard, I will be dumped farther and farther."

"She's just a show off." Qin Yi came out of the jade pendant, sat opposite Chu Jinmiao, took a book and said, "She's only relying on you to learn poetry longer than you. Other women spend most of their time on sewing and don't bother to use their brains to read, which makes her particularly outstanding in literary talent. You have the same talent as her, but your mind is stronger than her. It's only a matter of time before you catch up with her."

"Really?"

"Really."

Chu Jinyao chuckled. As she wrote, she said to Qin Yi: "Although I think you're coaxing me, I'm still happy. But no matter how much I don't like her, I have to admit that Chu Jinmiao can talk and win over people. You see, I've been back for so long. My grandmother, sisters and mother all like Chu Jinmiao better, not to mention my brothers. I think my two cousins like her better."

"I don't think so." Qin Yi said, "you can't just look at the surface. In fact, Chu Jinmiao's popularity among women is not good. For example, your eldest sister doesn't like her. Your sister is the eldest daughter of the family, and her eyes represent the preferences of the female elders in the house. You are still young, and it will be more obvious in a few years."

Chu Jinyao doubted: "are you serious?"

"Of course." Qin Yi glanced coolly at Chu Jinyao. "Do I look like a person who can't see?"

"Although I always think you're comforting me, I also hope it's true." Chu Jinyao sighed, "I don't expect other female elders to like me. As long as my mother is fair to me, it's enough."

Hearing this, even Qin Yi felt it hard to say: "your mother... I didn't expect that the wife of Changxing Hou should be so obedient and partial. If she continues to be like this in the future, she can only find someone to pick her up."

Chu Jinmiao was stunned and immediately asked, "what do you mean?" Qin Yi's sentence was so strange that Chu Jinyao couldn't help doubting his identity.

"Nothing." Qin Yi calmly turned over a page of the book and asked, "why did you just say two cousins?"

"You change the subject again!" Chu Jinyao was so angry that she stretched out her hand to pat him. Before she asked why, she suddenly heard clove report outside: "girl, six girls are coming."

Miss six? What did miss six come to her for? Chu Jinyao was puzzled, and the strangeness of Qin Yi was put aside. Miss six is the legitimate daughter of Sanfang. She is not very popular with the old lady, and she is cautious in her words and deeds. Chu Jinyao secretly thought that miss six is a man with a sense of success. But even so, Chu Jinyao won't take the initiative to approach Sanfang. What can she do to annoy the old lady? Aunt six Mother and Chu Jinyao have no intersection. They just nod and smile when they meet. What does she do in Chaoyun hospital?

Chu Jinyao felt strange. She lowered her voice and asked Qin Yi sitting opposite, "you said, what are the six girls doing?"

Qin Yi put down the book and said, "wait for its change. Go out and have a look first."

Chu Jinyao put down his pen and went to the Ming hall. Sure enough, she saw that six girls had stood in the hall. Six girls saw Chu Jinyao coming out from the East tip, and the tip of her eyebrows moved slightly: "five sisters are really diligent. As soon as she comes back, she will go to the study to practice."

Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "no, I just look around." Chu Jinyao led the six girls to the west room. After they sat down, the servant girl changed into a fresh fruit plate. When the servant girls retreated to one side, Chu Jinyao asked, "why do you remember me here?"

"I made some snacks and came to see the fifth sister." the sixth girl said, and asked her servant girl to present the dessert box. A servant girl with a double spiral bun took two steps forward with a red paint box, slightly opened the cover and took out a stack of small plum blossom cakes from it. The sixth girl smiled and said, "I made it casually. Don't dislike the fifth sister."

"How could it be." Chu Jinyao smiled and asked the servant girl to put the plate of plum blossom cake and put away the other snacks one by one. Chu Jinyao glanced at the plum blossom cake of six girls and took back her sight.

Six girls said that she made these cakes by herself, but in fact, her girls did them well. Six girls did it by themselves. Chu Jinyao thought these cakes were exquisite and not difficult. If there were plum blossom molds, she could make them herself.

However, she thought so in her heart, but she couldn't tell the truth in face. Chu Jinyao's servant girls were praising: "six girls are so skillful." Chu Jinyao also smiled and said, "six sisters have a heart."

The sixth girl smiled and said, "if only the fifth sister doesn't dislike it."

Chu Jinyao looks at the six girls and everyone's politeness, but she refuses to mention the subject. Chu Jinyao doesn't remind her and chat with her calmly.

Miss Liu waited for a while, but she couldn't wait for Chu Jinyao to ask. She thought to herself that Chu Jinyao was really calm. The sixth girl had to break the window paper by herself: "sister five, I'm here today. In addition to sending you cakes, I also have some selfish things to say to you."

Chu Jinyao listened and looked at the surrounding servant girls with her eyes. Kikyo and others immediately quit with interest: "slaves and maidservants go to prepare melons and fruits for the girls."

When the miscellaneous girl was almost gone, the sixth girl lowered her voice, propped her elbow on the table and leaned slightly towards Chu Jinyao: "sister five, I came today to tell you quietly that the fourth girl wants to place spies around you."

Chu Jinyao accidentally picked her eyebrows and asked, "Oh? How do you say that?"

"I have a servant girl who was born at home. She was very popular. That day she went to talk to her little sister and heard what the servant girl sweeping in the four girls' Yard said. When the four girls talked to people, she didn't notice the people standing behind the bushes, which was heard by the little girl. When my servant girl knew the truth, she told me when she came back. I thought about it and thought about it. There was nothing wrong, so she came to tell the fifth sister Sister. "

Chu Jinyao's smile remained unchanged after listening, but she left her mind. Not to mention whether the girl's eavesdropping is true, even if it is true, why did the sixth girl tell her? Chu Jinyao didn't say anything, but said, "it's hard for you to think of me, but we are all sisters in the same house. If we are heard, we will probably have to chew our tongue. I'm sorry that the sixth sister took such a risk for me."

Six girls said: "Sister five, I don't know. I feel very congenial when I see you. In fact, like you, I'm not much favored in the Marquis house. I'm not as popular as four girls and seven girls. I have to survive carefully in the cracks. Seeing that you are in trouble everywhere, I feel pity for you, so I always want to help you do something. But I'm not favored either. I'm afraid I'm more than willing to help Feet. "

Chu Jinyao said with a smile, "I'm very moved that sixth sister thinks so. Sixth sister doesn't need to do anything for me. I know your heart is enough."

Seeing that Chu Jinyao refused to speak, the sixth girl had to take out her cards and said, "sister five, do you know why Mrs. Hou suddenly thought of sending you a nurturing mother?"

Chu Jinyao asked, "why?"

"That's not the one who did it. Girls, although there are mothers in the yard, it's nominally a discipline rule, but it's not the same thing at all. If you were a girl, your mother would have arranged for you. Everything in the yard is in the hands of the girl. To discipline the mother is just to make a black face for the girl and scare the servant girls. But there's something wrong with your mother. There's such a person In, everything you do has to go through her hands. You can't accomplish anything. Don't say anything, and your every move will be spread by her. You say, "who will benefit if you go on like this?"

"You mean, four girls?"

"That's right. Sister five, it's a critical time to choose a companion. My aunt, the son and the Queen's mother are all in our house. When they go back, the princess will ask my aunt and mother about us, and my aunt won't say it. Mother's evaluation of us is important. If they say a good word, it's better than a hundred words, but they only have one bad word , then it's useless for us to explain a thousand or ten thousand words. Is that right, sister five? The fourth girl has placed a nurturing mother beside you. If she steals something for you with this mother, or asks mother to arrange something for you, when it reaches mother Hua and mother Deng, everything will be over. "

Chu Jinyao thought that she didn't intend to choose this Companion to read, but now she just studied with the Queen's mother. Chu Jinyao didn't care about her evaluation, so mother sun didn't have the key as six girls said.

Seeing that Chu Jinyao didn't speak, Miss Liu thought she was frightened, so she continued: "Elder sister, you see that the royal residence will choose two accompanying students for the county leader. We are in sympathy with each other. Should we unite? If we don't do anything, Chu Jinmiao will become more and more rampant. We don't know how to plan for us. If we unite, multiple people are multiple forces. Even if something happens, there will be someone to discuss."

Chu Jinyao said "Oh" in her heart. It turned out that the six girls had this idea and came to make an alliance with her. Chu Jinyao had no intention of reading with the king's residence, and didn't want to get involved in their internal fight. She was about to refuse, when she suddenly felt the jade pendant on her chest shake.

Chu Jinyao's face didn't move, but his words turned a big corner: "I'm very moved that you think of me like this. I don't understand anything when I'm new here. If six younger sisters don't dislike me and are willing to help me, I'm very grateful."

The sixth girl finally showed her sincere smile: "we sisters are poor people. As long as we unite, there will always be a way."

Chu Jinyao talked with the sixth girl again. After the sixth girl left, Chu Jinyao quietly asked Qin Yi, "why did you stop me just now? I'm not sure whether the sixth girl's words are true or false. What should we do next?"

"She's here to find an alliance. Since she doesn't know her intention, stabilize her first and then look."

"But I don't want to get involved in their muddy water. Why should I promise her an alliance?"

Qin Yi said, "if you don't promise, she will go to find two other people. Do you think it's fun for three people to deal with one of you?"

"..." Chu Jinyao was surprised and couldn't close her mouth, "will it be like this?"

"Why not?" Qin Yi asked Chu Jinyao, "It's taboo to please both sides when doing things. Both sides want to please, and the end result is that neither side can please. Especially you have only four people. It's necessary to form an alliance with two, or you will be excluded by the other three together. You should form an alliance with her, keep some thoughts when calculating the other two people, and finally keep it as a handle to threaten the six girls. This is the harem... No, the queen The way to live in a house, understand? Don't always think about being alone. You don't have enough strength. The result of being alone is often surrounded by others. If you have enough strength, you won't be alone if someone comes to take refuge in you. "

Chu Jinyao listened for a long time and respected Qin Yi: "what kind of environment have you been trained to be excellent? You can count people one by one." first, he formed a gang and killed another group. Then he immediately attacked his allies. Chu Jinyao suddenly felt that Qin Yi was terrible and it was too dangerous to be his ally.

Chu Jinyao suddenly "ouch", and his voice weakened: "you are so heartless to your allies, do I count as your allies?"

Qin Yi used to teach Chu Jinyao how to survive seriously. Hearing her words, Qin Yi couldn't help laughing. "You think a lot. Don't worry, you can't get into my eyes at all with your level. I don't think you waste your mind."

After hearing this, Chu Jinyao pulled his face and said in a bad tone, "then I want to thank you, old man?"

"You're welcome."

"Go away! I don't want to talk to you."

.

Chu Zhu rarely goes back to her mother's house. After staying for a few days, she doesn't want to go back. She is a daughter-in-law in the royal palace. She should be careful when she speaks and walks. She can't be wrong at all. But she is very relaxed in her mother's house. She is in charge of her own mother, and she is right in whatever she does. However, Chu Zhu can't stay long if she is nostalgic for her mother's house. What's the matter?

Chu Zhu set the date for her return to the palace. When Chu Zhu returned to the palace, Lin Xining, Lin Xiyuan and the two sisters of the palace naturally had to leave together. The old lady of Chu was not willing to let her only daughter go, so she detained the younger generation to her side these days and let the younger generation have more places. As soon as Chu Zhu left, they didn't know when to meet their cousins again.

This morning is mother Deng's class. What mother Deng is talking about today is "Shi Shuo Xin Yu". Chu Jinyao has never learned it and is confused. However, after class these days, she can't go back to her yard as usual, but has to stay with her sisters in the old lady.

Chu Jinyao was in the fog. She walked to rongning hall with questions in her head. She planned to ask Qin Yi when no one was there. Chu Jinmiao deliberately lingered. At last, when all the others were gone, she smiled proudly and turned back.

Others don't know the details of the so-called accompanying reading, but she knows. If people don't do it for themselves, heaven will kill everyone. Since God intends to let her know about the prince and the princess, she can't blame her ruthlessness. Even if she sacrifices one or two people, there's no way.

Chu Jinyao is unaware of Chu Jinmiao's small moves. She goes straight back to the old man. After lunch, she asks the servant girl to move the book to the back Baoxia and avoid reading by herself.

While there was no one around, Chu Jinyao quietly asked, "what's behind the Pearl of night light?"

"The Pearl of night light doesn't have to come from the river of Mengjin; the wall of abundance doesn't have to be collected from the mountain of Kunlun." Qin Yi whispered back. Chu Jinyao wrote on paper. This is today's class. She doesn't understand it at all. She can only copy it in private and recite it at the same time.

Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao's writing. After a while, he couldn't help but say, "why do I look so familiar with the books selected for you by King huailing's residence?" the selected works of Zhaoming a few days ago, and today's new sayings of the world , these are the books he often reads in his spare time. These are not the contents of the scientific examination. Ordinary men rarely read them. Why did mother Deng choose these books to teach Chu Jinyao and others?

Chu Jinyao shook his head: "I don't know."

Chu Jinyao and Qin Yi are talking quietly in the rear hugging building, but there is a sudden noise outside.

Chu Jinyao frowned, called a little servant girl and asked, "what's the matter outside?"

The little servant girl replied with a smile: "girl, the son of huailing said he was leaving tomorrow. He specially came to greet the old lady today!"

It turned out that Lin Xiyuan had come and Chu Jinyao knew it. No wonder there was a sudden excitement outside. Now Chu Zhu, the people of King huailing's residence, the old lady of Chu and several girls of the Chu family are all here, and basically the whole family are gathered together. It's hot enough to make a noise with so many people.

Chu Jinyao didn't take it to heart. She wrote two words and suddenly found out why she didn't see Chu Jinmiao?

Chu Jinyao is a young lady after all. Even if Qiu Ye is the big servant girl next to Zhao, the wife of Changxing Hou, there is really no need to be so polite. Nodding good is actually enough.

But Chu Jinyao doesn't know, even if she knows, doesn't know how to nod, and how to say hello. These things are as natural to miss Houzhai as breathing and drinking water, but they are too difficult for Chu Jinyao.

In fact, Chu Jinyao should be the fourth girl, the second legitimate daughter of Mrs. Zhao, the main room of Changxing Hou's house. But her fate was a little bumpy. When she was just born, she caught up with Tatar. Zhao gave birth to a daughter outside. Unexpectedly, she held her daughter wrong and took another girl back to her house. She was named Chu Jinmiao. Chu Jinyao had just been found back a few days ago. Chu Jinmiao had stayed in the Marquis house for 13 years and had deep feelings with her mother and servants. Her grandmother, old lady Chu, was not willing to let her granddaughter who had been in pain for 13 years go back. She simply made the decision and let both girls stay. Chu Jinmiao continued to be the fourth girl. Chu Jinyao ranked behind Chu Jinmiao in order to be the fifth girl.

Chu Jinyao grew up in a farmhouse and didn't understand all these Hou door etiquette. She was afraid of being laughed at by others. She secretly observed how others saluted and spoke, and then thought about learning it by herself. In this way, she made many mistakes without knowing it, just like today's greetings.

Qiu ye received Chu Jinyao's gift and returned a gift. She hurriedly welcomed Chu Jinyao. As soon as the heavy rat and mink curtain was put away, the temperature in the main hall was better and the cold air was no longer poured back. Autumn leaf breathed a sigh and said, "it's really windy today. If the curtain is opened for a long time, it's nothing to blow us. If it's frozen, my wife will be broken."

Chu Jinyao didn't expect it, and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean it, I didn't expect..."

"Five girls don't have to say that. You're the master. It's a big mistake, and it's also the bad service of your servants." as she said, Qiu Ye raised her face and stared round her eyes to see the people behind Chu Jinyao, "you two little hooves, have you just come back? If you're so careless, take care of your skin!"

The lilacs and camellias behind Chu Jinyao hurried to admit their mistakes. Autumn leaf scolded a few more words before easing her face and said, "OK, if you can correct your mistakes, you should pay attention next time!"

This time, Chu Jinyao also heard that she had just behaved improperly. Qiu Ye was hard to say about her, so she scolded the servant girl who came to greet her.

Chu Jinyao feels sorry and implicates others for no reason. If she does better, how can she let others be scolded for her?

In fact, Chu Jinyao was still confined by his original family. In the big Hou family, the young ladies who haven't left the cabinet are all golden branches and jade leaves. If they make a mistake, it's a great punishment to forbid them to copy the women's ring. The pain of beating boards and other flesh and blood is all suffered by the lower people. Who doesn't remind the master when he wants to make a mistake? What's more, clove and Camellia are not wronged at all. Chu Jinyao has just been found. She doesn't know how to salute and say hello. Don't clove slaves understand? If you remind one or two before going out, it won't be like this. However, clove is a stuffy gourd. It can't say a word with a pole, and Camellia's eyes are wandering. At first glance, it's a big jump, and she won't think about it for her master.

Qiuye sighed in her heart, but all she could do was knock one or two across the floor. It was because she was also sold from a farmer's house to Hou's house. She felt empathy, so she had pity for Chu Jinyao, who also grew up from a farmer's house. No matter how much, autumn leaves won't do it.

In high-ranking families, it is so realistic and fickle.

Mother Zhang came out from the west room and was very unhappy: "who opened the door curtain just now, madam has just got up, and there is still sweat on her body. If madam catches a cold, who can afford it?"

Qiuye immediately bowed her head to apologize. Chu Jinyao was frightened and quickly said, "it's none of Qiuye's business. I opened it when I came in."

Mammy Zhang really hasn't seen Miss Qianjin rush to admit her mistake. Usually, a girl either asks people around her to confess, or she has done something wrong, and she won't admit it by herself. With a look in her side, someone came forward to take the blame, let alone Chu Jinyao. Let Chu Jinyao say this. Mammy Zhang really has a bad attack. Even if she is the wife's dowry servant girl, she is also a slave. How can she say that the master is not?

Mammy Zhang had to immediately change her face, squeeze out a smiling face and said, "it's Miss five. It's really early for Miss five to ask ANN to come. Madam is dressing up in there. Come in quickly."

Chu Jinyao thanked mammy Zhang, and then walked gently to xicijian.

Mammy Zhang turned sideways to let Chu Jinyao go first, and then she kept up. She looked at Chu Jinyao's back and deliberately lightened her movements. Her heart was very complex.

Chu Jinyao is a serious girl. She is a proud girl who climbed out of Mrs. Zhao's belly. How can she be so polite and careful? If the fourth young lady who grew up in front of her wife, she must have started talking and laughing loudly as soon as she entered the door, and then she would run all the way into the second room and fall into her arms, regardless of whether she was dressing up and winding her hair. Instead, the wife's real legitimate daughter Chu Jinyao was so cautious.

Mama Zhang sighed. Who would have thought that this kind of thing that she dared not write in the play actually happened in the Changxing Marquis house, a first-class noble gentry in Taiyuan house.

In the late autumn of the 19th year of Jianxing, that is, around October last year, the woman in the Zhao family's courtyard of Mrs. Hou of Changxing was drunk. She began to talk big with the servant woman in other hospitals. She boasted that she was old and knew many things about her wife, even that the four girls were not her husband's own children.

The servants knew as soon as they heard that the woman was bragging. Who was the fourth girl? It was the second lady of the wife's line. The youngest child hurt in the palm of her hand. How could it not be her own? On weekdays, if the woman blows, the people next to her should listen to music. This matter will pass. However, the Marquis's elder passed by and heard this sentence that day.

When Chang Sui went back, he immediately told Changxing Hou that he was annoyed and arranged the master at will. What are these women arranging? Changxing Hou immediately asked people to bring the servants in the backyard, and he himself asked for a crime. The woman was frightened at once. She immediately knelt on the ground and told Changxing Hou everything she knew.

Changxing Hou didn't believe it, but he hesitated when he saw what the woman said. Finally, he sent his own people to investigate the matter in order to keep his daughter innocent. As a result, there was an accident after such an investigation. The four most favored maidens in the Hou house may not really be his daughter.

When Mrs. Hou Zhao was pregnant, the tartar invaded the border and went south to the capital. Beizhili almost had an accident, and Shanxi suffered even more. Tatars killed and set fire to many places and looted them all, including Taiyuan government. Changxing Hou's house is a famous family in Taiyuan. Naturally, it is also the target of these barbarians. At that time, Changxing Hou led troops outside and didn't care about home for a while. The wives and young ladies of the Hou's house had to flee south in a hurry. Fortunately, soon Changxing Hou led the troops to recover Taiyuan, and the scattered family members were picked up again and again. Mrs. Hou's Zhao was pregnant and frightened. She couldn't hold on to production on the way to the south.

On the way to escape, everything is simple and life can't be saved, let alone the tools for production. Zhao can only take people to stay in the villagers' house and pay with a few gold jewelry, which can be regarded as difficult to give birth to the child.

At that time, the farmer had just given birth to a child. That's why they had to stay at home and didn't flee south with the villagers. After giving birth safely, Zhao entrusted the peasant woman to feed milk for several days before leaving with a dowry. In a few days, the soldiers who came to pick up Zhao's house came.

After Zhao narrowly escaped death and returned to Hou's house, he became more and more fond of his daughter who lived and died with him, even less than the eldest girl. Zhao symbiosis has a man and two women. According to their age, they are the eldest girl, the second young master and the fourth girl. When fleeing, the older girl was taken away by the old lady. After Zhao and others separated, only mammy Zhang and her little daughter four girls were around. After returning to the house, the four girls were named Miao and loved from their grandchildren Jin generation.

Changxing Hou also cherished his daughter who was born outside and suffered from exile. However, now various signs tell him that Chu Jinmiao may not be his daughter. His real daughter was secretly changed by the farmer in the year of the war!

After Changxing Hou found out the news, he was so angry that he didn't think about it for years. In a rage, the Marquis of Changxing sent people to severely interrogate the mother-in-law who slipped her tongue that day. Later, the mother-in-law confessed that she was married to her wife in her early years. When Zhang Shi ate wine, she heard mother Zhang slip her tongue. Mammy Zhang was also suspicious, but it was hard to say. She was deeply buried in her heart. Later, when she was drunk, she revealed it to the woman. Many years later, she was heard by Changxing Hou.

Changxing Hou thought quietly for several days. He didn't disturb Zhao or his mother, old lady Chu, but secretly asked someone to find the midwife of that year. After the midwife left, Changxing Hou sat in the house for a long time and finally made up his mind to find his own flesh and blood.

His blood can't be disordered, even if it's just a daughter.

Changxing Hou casually made an excuse and left the house just after the new year. At that time, Zhao was still complaining about him. What should he do to go out in the first month? Changxing Hou ignored and went all the way south to find Chu Jinyao in a small village in the south of Shanxi.

At that time, Chu Jinyao was also called Su Yao.

Su Yao got up early that day and went outside to collect firewood for her family as usual. When she came back with the firewood basket on her back, she seemed to look back and saw a man standing nearby, dignified and noble, staring at her silently.

"Uncle, who are you looking for?"

Changxing Hou was silent. He stared for a long time and sighed.

The little girl in front of her is 13 years old. Because she has been doing farm work all year round, she is fiercer than the girls in Changxing Hou's house, but she is very thin and her skin is slightly tanned. Her face was sharp and thin, and she didn't look healthy. However, her eyes were surprisingly good-looking. It made people feel that she shouldn't appear in such a village, but should grow up on a national beauty, be raised in a deep palace, be loved by thousands and served by hundreds of people.

As like as two peas, Chu's Pearl's eyes and nose are almost the same as his sister Chu Chu. On the contrary, Chu Jinmiao, the fourth girl, has become less and less like him over the years.

Changxing Hou approached slowly and asked, "what's your name?"

Su Yao felt very strange, but she smiled and replied, "my name is Su Yao. You're not from here, are you lost?"

Changxing Hou didn't answer Su Yao's question, but asked, "Yao? It's not like a name that people in the village can name."

"Because my mother said that when I was born, a Taoist gave me a jade. He named me Yao, and so did our family."

Hou Changxing looked at Su Yao's jade. It was a clean and transparent jade with red catkins floating inside. It was valuable, and the red catkins inside were also very exquisite. It was like the moment when blood dripped into clean water and was imprisoned by white jade. Changxing Hou suddenly thought of rumors similar to blood recognition.

When Su Yao, or Chu Jinyao, was born, a wandering Taoist came to Taiyuan. It is said that he was a treasure and brought a valuable gem that can bring back the dead to life. He came to the world to find his master. Changxing Hou didn't believe this rumor, but he thought that his child was about to be born. It was always rare for both men and women to have their own blood, so he wanted to find a good jade for his child and play a life-saving jade lock for his child. He personally found it in front of the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest looked at it and said, "jade is destined for your daughter, but it can't be given to you."

After hearing this, Changxing Hou sniffed and left. He is a marquis. It is a great honor to condescend and condescend to find a Taoist, but the Taoist doesn't appreciate it and is full of nonsense. What is Jade's fate with his daughter, but he can't give him this father? Let's not say whether Zhao's pregnant daughter is his daughter. If the Taoist doesn't give it to him, how can he get into his daughter's hands? I don't want to take the opportunity to raise the price.

After that, Tatar invaded the border, and Changxing Hou led the troops to resist the enemy. He soon completely forgot this matter.

Until thirteen years later, the Marquis of Changxing stood in front of Chu Jinyao and thought of this past.

"Uncle, it's time to refresh yourself!" Chu Jinyao said with a smile. "You can go out of the village by going north along this road. I have to go back to chop firewood and boil water. I can't send you out. Otherwise, when my mother gets up, she will scold me again."

Changxing Hou frowned: "you're a little girl. Do you want to chop firewood and boil water?"

Don't mention the girl in the Marquis house. Even the servant girl who serves the girl won't do these rough jobs. His legitimate daughters, the eldest and the fourth, have been served by a nurse, two first-class servant girls and four second-class servant girls since their birth. They are also accompanied by many attendants sent by their elders. It can be said that they can't leave people for a moment. Chu Jinmiao, the fourth girl, was pricked by a needle when she was learning needlework. She would be tossed by everyone. She applied medicine and asked the doctor. Chu Jinyao has to get up early in such a cold winter, pick up firewood on the road, chop firewood, boil water and clean the yard when she comes back. Chu Jinyao is his own daughter! The Marquis of Changxing knows what life the eldest girl and the fourth girl live. That's why it's very uncomfortable to hear Chu Jinyao say so. What's more irritating is that the peasant family deliberately changed their daughter during production and let their daughter Chu Jinmiao, who should have been a peasant woman, enter the Marquis house to enjoy glory and wealth. The real Marquis has thousands of gold. It's just that they don't have a good environment in their house, They even ordered me to work!

Changxing Hou was furious. At this time, he had made up his mind to take the little girl in front of him back to the house, keep her name and follow the generation of girls in the family to be called Jinyao. As for the surname Su, leave it to the farmers' own daughter.

Chu Jinyao didn't know what Changxing Hou was thinking at this time. She was still seriously answering Changxing Hou's question: "yes, my sister got married. I'm the only girl in the family. Naturally, I should do all the housework. Ah, my mother got up, I have to go back..."

"Don't go back," said Changxing Hou. "You're not su. Come with me."

What happened later was very vague for Chu Jinyao. Su Fu, who had always been shouting, beating and scolding at home, shrank aside and dared not speak. Su Fu was angry and came to scold Chu Jinyao. Su's mother screamed at the top of her voice. Her brother Su Sheng also seemed to have become a quail. When she heard the news, her eldest sister Su Hui, who rushed home, suddenly fell silent and quietly looked at Chu Jinyao.

Chu Jinyao was afraid of such eyes. Later, she was taken away. She sat in the only gorgeous carriage in her life and leaned out crying to see her home. None of the parents who had lived together for 13 years came out to see her off. Only the eldest sister ran all the way crying and just stuffed her with a cloth bag from the window.

In the cloth bag are two washed cotton jackets and skirts, which are rare decent clothes at home. Chu Jinyao knows that if her sister gives these to her, she will be scolded by Su's father and mother when she goes back. If Su's father is angry, it's not impossible to do it. And my sister's husband's family, I don't know what to say.

Chu Jinyao had a good cry. Until she got off the bus, her eyes were red.

The carriage stopped on a flat ground. Chu Jinyao looked up and saw the majestic Changxing marquis.

Only then did Zhao know what the Marquis of Changxing had done.

Chu Jinyao stood in front of Zhao, yearning and shy. For a time, she didn't even know how to put her hands and feet.

However, her real mother swept her up and down several times and waved in disgust: "take her out. It smells like dirt. It's really choking."

Chu Jinyao was immediately embarrassed. There were no conditions in the village. In addition, she was in a hurry. She really didn't take a good bath. When Chu Jinyao had cleaned up and changed into clean clothes, she happily went to see her legendary biological mother, but outside the partition covered with smoke gauze, she heard: "madam, you don't seem to like... Miss Yao."

"What kind of lady is she? I don't know who she is when she comes out of thin air. The Marquis is really. Listening to the wind is rain. I don't know what cat and dog she has picked up. It may be that someone deliberately set up a game to deceive him."
