The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 59

Chu Jinyao is lost and is looking for Qin Yi to ask for directions.

The woman snorted arrogantly and was about to scold Kikyo. She saw Chu Jinyao wave his hand and said to Kikyo, "I told you many times to restrain your temper, but you always don't listen. Fortunately, Mammy was sent by her wife. She is generous and won't argue with you. How dare you next time?"

Kikyo squatted down quickly and said, "I dare not. Please spare my life."

"OK, put your things into the study first. This is the homework assigned by the two mammies in the palace. If there are any mistakes, I only ask you."

Kikyo bowed his head and ran in. The woman called twice, but she didn't stop Kikyo. Seeing Chu Jinyao's intention to protect the servant girl, the woman was already very uncomfortable. The woman thought that the fourth girl and her wife were right. There are really no rules in the fifth girl's yard. Since her wife sent her to guide the fifth girl, she must rectify the atmosphere here.

Chu Jinyao's waist and legs were very sore. Even so, she forced to hold up a smile, walked two steps closer and asked, "what do you call mammy?"

The woman stood up and said arrogantly, "my name is sun."

"Good mother sun." Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "since it was sent by her mother, it's an elder. Don't neglect it. Clove, clean up a clean room and take mother sun to have a rest."

Clove took orders to go. Before she took a few steps, she heard grandma sun say: "Miss five, my wife sent me to straighten out the rules for you. To tell you the truth, you may not like to listen. The rules in your yard are too loose, which can't be compared with that of miss four. Miss, you are still young and don't understand the danger of the people. You look bright in the back house, but there are many hidden things, especially those slippery slaves and maidservants who love to collude to deceive the master Son. For example, the girl's silver jewelry. You do a lot of things every day, and you can't remember what jewelry is in the box. After a long time, I'm sure some slaves who are open to money will secretly sell your jewelry. So my wife sent me here. The first important thing is to let me help you learn to be a housekeeper, so as not to be bullied by the evil slaves below. "

Chu Jinyao was so angry that the woman almost kicked her nose and face. Chu Jinyao wanted to wear a high hat for her, and then offered it far behind. Just don't hinder her, but now it seems that the woman has very long hands.

Sure enough, mother sun paused and said, "girl, where are the keys to your clothes and jewelry? You are young. I'm afraid you will be cheated by the Diao slave below. You'd better leave it to the old slave."

"Don't bother, Mammy." Chu Jinyao said coldly, "I'm in charge of these things. I'm used to doing it at home, and I won't be deceived. Since mammy is sent by my mother, I should support her. Can you worry about these? Isn't it my unfilial."

Chu Jinyao has moved out of filial piety, but as the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, she can't explain clearly. The woman's face is very thick. No matter what Chu Jinyao said, she just insisted: "Madam sent me to palm the eyes of the five girls. Clothes and jewelry naturally need the old slave to worry about. If my aunt refuses, the old slave will have to go to her to reason."

It was so rampant that Chu Jinyao sank her face and said, "then go. Clove, prepare pen and ink. I want to review my lessons."

Chu Jinyao dropped her words and walked to the main room without turning back. Mammy sun was stunned. She obviously didn't expect Chu Jinyao to be so strong. The girl in the inner house was not delicate, soft and circuitous. How dare Chu Jinyao speak directly?

Mother sun shouted, "I'm from my wife. The wife said..."

Chu Jinyao said calmly, "clove, pass the word on. I'm going to read a book. No one is allowed to speak loudly. If you quarrel with me and delay me from learning rules with the Queen's mother, I have to go to my grandmother and let her preside over justice."

Although Chu Jinyao said this to clove, the direction in her words was very clear. Mother sun was dumb. Chu Jinyao glanced back at the people coldly, and then opened the curtain and went in.

When she got indoors, Kikyo was pestling in her study and didn't dare to go out. She also heard the movement outside. When she saw Chu Jinyao again at the moment, she only felt extra admiration: "girl..."

Chu Jinyao felt very bad. She said to Kikyo, "she's still yelling outside. You can bear it first. Stay in the west room for a while. When she's tired of scolding, you can go out."

Platycodon grandiflorum replied: "yes."

The study soon calmed down again. The servant girls knew Chu Jinyao's habits. It was customary to leave no one in the study. When there was no one, Chu Jinyao sighed.

Qin Yi chuckled: "what's the matter? Didn't you just be very powerful? Why did you sigh?"

"I didn't have such a grumpy temper," Chu Jinyao said. "It's said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. Sure enough, you're right. Look what you've brought me!"

If ordinary people dared to talk to Qin Yi like this, Qin Yi would have asked someone to clean up each other. But now he couldn't help laughing at Chu Jinyao's words: "you're reasonable, don't rely on me for everything."

Chu Jinyao couldn't hold her face and smiled gently. She smiled for a while, and her tone became sad: "it's easier to ask God than to send God. How can I send this giant Buddha!"

Qin Yi didn't speak. He came out of the jade pendant, sat leisurely at the table and turned the book. Chu Jinyao pretended to be pathetic and found that Qin Yi couldn't fit. He hurried around to the other side of the table and sat opposite Qin Yi. His arm lay on the table and carefully poked Qin Yi's arm: "Qi Ze, what should I do?"

Qin Yi raised his head and smiled at Chu Jinyao: "I don't know, you think."

"I just can't think of it. I'm looking for you now!" Chu Jinyao continued to be coquettish, and finally simply said, "if you don't say it, I'll cry for you."

Qin Yi glanced at her and said, "cry."

Chu Jinyao finally knew where the sense of familiarity came from. As like as two peas, Sun Momo said he would tell Chao's complaint, and Chu Jinyao said, "then you go," the expression and tone of Qin's eyes were exactly the same as Qin Yi's "cry".

Chu Jinyao said it was really retribution. She deflated her mouth, carefully, but continued to poke Qin Yi's arm, and looked at him with that kind of poor eyes. Qin Yi didn't move his eyebrows, but he took the book in his hand for a while and was stunned that he didn't turn a page.

Qin Yi couldn't bear it. He closed the book and said calmly, "you're really brave."

Chu Jinyao immediately smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't ignore me."

Qin Yi was helpless and funny. He said, "it's really retribution."

Chu Jinyao showed a good attitude of being taught and politely poured Qin Yi a cup of tea, although Qin Yi didn't need it. Qin Yi had a straight face. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but stare at her with anger and laughter.

"Mama sun was given to you by your mother. I don't have to tell you who provoked her. You know. If you have this person, it's also a trouble for you to see Zhao tomorrow."

"I understand." Chu Jinyao sighed, "it's clear that Chu Jinmiao is the young lady who grew up here. She has replaced my ranking and identity. I'm not hostile to her, but she's against me."

"People's hearts always have no end." Qin Yi knows that he will go sooner or later. It turned out that Chu Jinyao had difficulties and Qin Yi helped her solve them. But now he knows that he wants to leave, he no longer helps her block everything, and teaches her these intrigues bit by bit: "It's good for her to take the initiative to attack you. Even if she doesn't do anything, I have to stimulate her to do it. You're a framed person now. Naturally, you don't have to pay attention to the woman outside or your mother's bias. Don't worry about conniving at the woman. The more rampant she is, the better. When the time comes, stab her directly in front of the person in charge and show it to everyone. This is called motionless Yes, one hit will kill. "

Chu Jinyao nodded with a feeling: "you mean, I deliberately showed weakness and made mother sun more and more rampant. Finally, I made an intolerable mistake and asked my grandmother to intervene?"

"That's it," Qin Yi said, "If you are high enough to do what you want to do, you can do it directly, but you can't do it now. You can only detour and sell pity to the elders. And your father, Chu Jing is a man who knows what Chu Jinmiao has done to you. You inadvertently tell him what he has done to you. It's enough for him to reveal the rest. Since your mother is eccentric, you can only find another way, at least Let Chu Jing see what kind of life you live in the back house. "

Chu Jinyao had fully understood. She nodded: "I understand. These disputes in the inner house are no different from those in the village, but they have to cover themselves with a layer of passive skin, as if everything is passive and forced."

It turned out that in the Su family, if someone came to ask Chu Jinyao for the key to the money in the family, Chu Jinyao could definitely scold him to death. Even if she asked other people in the village to judge, no one could say that Chu Jinyao was wrong. Chu Jinyao could stand on both emotion and reason. But now when she comes to the Hou house, she can't do things so directly. If she really scolds mother sun, everyone will only say that she is unfilial, Instead of asking her why.

Chu Jinyao is trying to adapt to the new rules of Hou men.

"Yes, that's it." Qin Yi smiled. "Men always like innocent and weak women. You're too strong to please."

"Men are like this? Can't they see that it's fake?"

Qin Yi was stunned when asked. He was used to the situation in the back palace. However, at the moment, looking at Chu Jinyao's bright eyes, he could only avoid it carefully and said, "not all men are like this..."

"What about you?" Chu Jinyao blurted out before Qin Yi finished.

"Me?" Qin Yi smiled. "I have too many things to do. Men and women are far from my plan."

Chu Jinyao was so rash that she was a little surprised when she said what she had just said. But now, after listening to Qin Yi's answer, she felt a little empty. Chu Jinyao pressed down her inexplicable mind and said to Qin Yi with a smile: "You're right. Men are very fickle. With those Kung Fu, it's better to focus on their own things. After all, it's the most important to live well. As for love, it's all vanity."

Qin Yi thought what Chu Jinyao said was reasonable intellectually, but there was always something wrong psychologically. He frowned and said, "you are a girl. Don't talk about love all day. How old are you now? Don't always think about getting married."

"Who thought?" Chu Jinyao was angry and immediately refused to show weakness. The two of them say a word to each other, and the twilight slowly deepens.

The next day, Chu Jinyao went to greet Zhao. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Chu Jinmiao sitting next to Zhao. She stripped Zhao of oranges with her bare hands. Zhao's hand was standing with grandmother.

Chu Jinyao knew that he was black.

"Mother." her face was calm, pretending not to know anything, and she saluted Zhao.

Zhao put her hand on the table. The gold bracelet on her wrist touched the table and made a clear collision sound. "I heard from mother sun that you disobeyed the discipline and deliberately contradicted mother sun?"

Mother sun copied her hands and looked wronged. Chu Jinmiao bowed her head and peeled her skin attentively without looking up.

Chu Jinyao calmly asked, "mother, where did you start?"

"Mother Sun told me everything. She's going to discipline the rules for you, and you don't have to contradict. You're still rude to mother sun in front of the public. Do you still have my mother in your eyes?"

"Mother, you know, you are my mother." Chu Jinyao looked up at Zhao and said word by word, "Why don't you ask me what happened? Mother sun yelled in my yard when she first came. I just came back from mother Hua. I didn't have time to sit down and drink. I heard mother sun say that she came to collect the keys to my clothes and jewelry at your order."

Chu Jinyao raised her head and looked at Zhao: "mother, is this what you asked her to do? Don't ask, pinch my whole fortune in my hand first, so as to restrain me?"

Zhao frowned and looked at grandma sun. She asked grandma sun to take care of Chu Jinyao. Don't let anyone step on Chu Jinyao's face. Why did the woman rashly ask Chu Jinyao for keys? Clothes and jewelry in the back house are women's biggest possessions. If they weren't trusted slaves, who would let others move these? Zhao's eyes pressed over. Grandma sun quickly bowed her head and Zhao's heart Some angry: "why didn't you say this just now? Who let you make your own decisions?"

"Madam Hui, it's not the old slave's own opinion!"

"Then you say, who inspired you to do this?" Zhao was angry. He folded his hands on his knees and asked, "I want to see where you have the courage to defy me."

Mammy sun was sweating. She dared not speak, but one eye secretly looked at Chu Jinmiao. Chu Jinyao also stared at Chu Jinmiao directly to see how she managed.

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."

When Chu Zhu returned to her mother's house, she naturally brought her children and concubines. Lin Xiyuan was the eldest son of the palace. His second brother was Lin Xining, his eldest sister was Lin Baoying, Chu Zhu's concubine, and his second sister was 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 were more and more upset about Lin Xiyuan. The elegant childe, with a distinguished family background and beautiful appearance, always smiled. Which girl doesn't like this kind of good childe in the world?

Lin Xiyuan stands in rongning hall, which is the focus of attention. The girls are secretly looking at Lin Xiyuan. They thought their cousin Lin Xining was outstanding yesterday, but now they see the son of God, Lin Xining is flat. To put it bluntly, Lin Xining, like his brothers, is noble under the guidance of his family, but it is not much different from his peers, because Everyone is like this. But Lin Xiyuan is obviously different.

Lin Xiyuan wore a lot of eyes, but his smile did not change. His face was not stiff. It seemed that he was used to being noticed. He looked calm and talked and laughed with the old lady of Chu, Chu Zhu and other elders. He advanced and retreated with a degree of grace. Anyone who saw him had to praise and be feared.

Chu Jinmiao looked at it secretly for a while and took back her sight, but her hand was getting tighter and tighter. This was the difference between the king's house and the Hou's house. If she also educated the heirs, the second childe would not have the light of Lin Xiyuan. As long as she went to the king's house, she would have the opportunity to meet with people like the county Lord and the aristocratic son. In the future, by taking the opportunity of the county Lord, she could often meet the aristocratic son and maybe see the emperor Son! You have a great future in Changxing Marquis mansion!

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."
