The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 74

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

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 process of gold hairpin is worth, just rely on those two pieces of gold to ensure that the Su family has enough food and clothing for a long time. However, Su's mother is stingy by nature, especially for Su Hui and Chu Jinyao. If she can save, she will save. She should wear big clothes and give old ones to small ones. But for Su Sheng, his only son, his father and mother were very willing to spend money. They even bit their teeth and sent 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.

"Have you become a man?" Chu Jinyao looked at Qin Yi with a bright light in her eyes. Chu Jinyao's eyes are very good-looking. The lines from the corner of her eyes to the end of her eyes are beautiful. Her eyelashes are thin and curly. She looks at the plush, but the end of her eyes is slightly picked up and looks charming. Her eyes are round and black. They are as clear as jewels immersed in water.

The sunlight in the pane shone on her face, which was surprisingly soft. Chu Jinyao looked at him so attentively. At that moment, Qin Yi felt that the sun and the moon could not compete with her eyes.

For the first time, Qin Yi was a little absent-minded. He replied "Hmm". After a while, he reacted wrong, turned his head and stared at Chu Jinyao: "they all said that I was human, and dare to say so?"

Chu Jinyao whispered, "you just admitted..." Qin Yi's eyes swept over. Chu Jinyao was forced to change his mouth under threat: "well, I was wrong."

Qin Yi nodded his head with satisfaction. As a man, he had a long neck and exquisite jaw. Such a casual action was very good-looking and with inherent pride.

Chu Jinyao looked at it for a while. Unexpectedly, she felt a little shy and unnaturally avoided her eyes. It turned out that they also lived together day and night. Chu Jinyao was very calm in the face of Qin Yi, because at that time he had no body shape and only voice. Although he was a man's voice, in Chu Jinyao's heart, Qin Yi had no clear gender. But now, when such a slender, handsome and sharp man stood in front of her, Chu Jinyao could no longer regard Qin Yi as a close friend, and suddenly became at a loss.

Qin Yi waited for a while and found Chu Jinyao bowed her head. She didn't know what she was thinking. Qin Yi frowned secretly and asked, "what's the matter?"

"Nothing." Chu Jinyao shook her head slowly. After a while, he added, "I'm not alienating you. I'm just... I'm not used to it for a while. I'll be fine when I get used to it."

"What a big breath." he dared to say to the prince that he was used to reading. Qin Yi smiled and glanced at Chu Jinyao. Then he bowed his head and continued to read the calligraphy. This time it was a satisfactory book. Qin Yi quickly turned it in half and waved to Chu Jinyao without looking back: "come here."

Chu Jinyao moved over and looked down at the calligraphy with Qin Yi: "do you want me to come here?"

"That's right. You're a beginner. You have to face the characters with strong bones and regular strokes. The previous elegant running style is not suitable for you." Qin Yi took the pen from the pen holder. He glanced down at Chu Jinyao, "look at your eyesight and study ink."

Chu Jinyao gave a "Oh" sound, half rolled up her sleeve and revealed a bright wrist to study ink for Qin Yi. Qin Yi was stained with ink, his wrists were hanging in the air, and he wrote a long and snake on the paper. A line of regular and square small letters jumped on the paper. These words are beautiful, clean and tidy. They are no worse than the copy in the calligraphy book. Chu Jinyao looked at it for a while and sighed, "it's nice."

Chu Jinyao read the words of Changxing Hou and the words of eldest brother from the old lady. It may be the best written by the young master. It has always been the pride of the old lady of Chu. Every time people come, they have to show it. But Chu Jinyao now saw Qin Yi's, and suddenly felt that the eldest young master had to be in shape rather than bone. It was Qin Yi who really wrote well.

Chu Jinyao sighed: "how can you do anything?" Mingming has just become a master. Are all the things that Jingguai learned so scary?

"If you practice more since childhood, you will." Qin Yi replied carelessly.

"Our brothers have been practicing calligraphy since they were seven years old. They practice very hard every day. Why don't they write well?" Chu Jinyao didn't believe Qin Yi's words. She carefully patted Qin Yi's arm and leaned over to whisper, "I think you learn everything quickly. Do you have any unique secret script? You secretly told me that I won't spread it!"

A low smile came from Qin Yi's chest. His whole chest was shaking. The laughter sounded low and hooked. It was obviously amused. He had to stop writing. When his hand was stable, he could continue to write: "Chu Jinyao, you are really a talent."

Chu Jinyao was stunned, and his eyes were still shining: "ah?"

"When I find it, I'll let them buy it, regardless of the price."

Chu Jinyao had understood. She felt a little uncomfortable and whispered, "after that, you will go back with them, won't you?"

Qin Yi thought he was heartless, but he finally said, "yes."

Chu Jinyao felt in a trance. Not long ago, she was still arranging her life with Qin Yi, but now Qin Yi told her that he would leave soon. Chu Jinyao is a little confused. Qin Yi has been with her since she came home. She has long been used to asking Qin Yi any questions and saying anything to Qin Yi. It turned out that soon, she would become a person and face the gorgeous, deep and cold house door alone.

Chu Jinyao was depressed and Qin Yi didn't speak. They were speechless for a long time. This was the most unpleasant chat they had had since they met.

Chu Jinyao said it was false not to feel bad, but Qin Yi was leaving soon, and they could spend less and less time together. At this time, how could they use the cold war to consume the few time? Finally, Chu Jinyao said: "It's a good thing that you can leave and go back to where you really should go. Now that you've asked someone else to find Yu for you, I think you'll get news soon. We don't know how long we can get along, but one day is another day, and we'll be more and more happy these days. I didn't have a good attitude towards you. Don't care. When you leave, I'll set up a longevity monument for you , I wish you an early success. "

Qin Yi was hurt by Chu Jinyao's words, but when he heard the latter sentence, he woke up immediately.

"Don't you." Qin Yi's voice revealed a strong sense of helplessness. What he was most worried about these days was that he couldn't return to his body, or his body had problems. Chu Jinyao also said that he would set up a monument for him and worship him every day... Qin Yi said: "I appreciate your kindness. As for the monument, don't set it up. Don't do anything. It's enough to live here."

"OK." Chu Jinyao whispered, "I will. You too."

Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao's face in a trance and sad. He couldn't bear it. He said, "it's late today. Stop writing and go to bed."

Chu Jinyao shook her head: "no, it's half written. It's always to be finished."

Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao's wrists shaking and felt pity. He simply appeared and said, "it's not right for you to hold the pen. Do this." then he covered Chu Jinyao's hand and took her to write on the paper.

With Qin Yi's help, Chu Jinyao immediately saved a lot of effort. Qin Yi is still a soul. His hand is covered on the back of Chu Jinyao's hand. It is cool and empty. Chu Jinyao tilts her head slightly and can clearly see her own fingers through Qin Yi's hand.

Qin Yi suddenly squeezed Chu Jinyao's finger and glanced at her coolly: "do you dare to be distracted?"

Chu Jinyao took back her sight and concentrated on writing. After a while, she still couldn't help asking, "Qi Ze, are you so beautiful and smart after you become Jing?"

"Huh?"

"If you look good, don't mention it. You know everything about writing and poetry. Even these intrigues in the back house can't defeat you. Are you all like this? I suddenly want to be a monster."

Qin Yi smiled. After laughing, he said faintly, "you think too much. Not everyone is like this. It's just me. So, you'd better practice your calligraphy steadily."

Chu Jinyao was silent for a long time and couldn't resist: "you really... Think highly of yourself."

"This is true."

Chu Jinyao rolled her eyes. Qin Yi felt her disapproval and calmly asked, "why, do you think it's wrong?"

Again, his tone was very normal. It seemed that he was really asking calmly, but the tail tone was slightly raised. Coupled with his calm and cold voice, Chu Jinyao felt a sense of threat. Chu Jinyao hummed secretly, but on the surface said, "yes, you're right."

Qin Yi didn't bother to pay attention to her. After helping her write the remaining half a page of big characters, he sent Chu Jinyao to bed.

Chu Jinyao put down the bed curtain and lay flat on the bed without sleep for a long time. She was afraid that the voice of turning over could be heard by Qin Yi. She kept a posture all the time. As soon as she closed her eyes, she could see a tall and straight young man with exquisite facial features standing in front of the desk in the sun. When she heard the voice, he turned his head slightly, with inherent alienation and pride in his eyes. Such a feeling If you put your expression on others, you will be proud and disgusting. However, when it appears on Qin Yi, it is natural, as if he should be superior and proud.

This is the first time Chu Jinyao saw Qin Yi. She thought Qin Yi's voice was very good. Now she found that people's faces are the real masterpiece of heaven. The love of the creator is.

Chu Jinyao whispered, "Qi Ze?"

Qin Yi didn't answer. Chu Jinyao sighed softly, "maybe he's asleep. Also, when is it?"

Chu Jinyao whispered, "you must have a good life when we separate. In this way, I will be glad to think of you."

She continued to say to herself: "Eldest sister will get married soon, and I think I will soon come. I don't know where I will spend the rest of my life in the future. I thought that I wouldn't be afraid to have you with me even if my mother-in-law is in trouble in the future, but now I think I'm too naive. How can you stay with me all the time? I really can't be too greedy. I should thank you for being able to accompany me to adapt to the life of the Hou residence God loves me. After all, I'm still alone. "

Chu Jinyao believed in Ma yourein and didn't know what she said. She just lay in bed thinking. For a moment, she seemed to see herself engaged to a strange man, for a moment, she made rules in front of her mother-in-law, and for a moment, Qin Yi stood at her desk and casually looked through the notes. Slowly, she fell asleep.

When Chu Jinyao's breath grew, a figure gradually appeared in the jade pendant. The other person's figure was very weak and almost melted into the moonlight. Qin Yi looked at the position of the shelf bed for a while and said softly, "you'll have a good time, too."

Qin Yi sent a secret message to his men as soon as he could show up. The people in the East Palace have been looking for the jade pendant around Chu Jinyao's neck. After finding it, he will try to get his men to sneak into the Changxing Marquis house quietly, and then he will transfer to the new jade pendant and return to Datong with his subordinates.

He is the crown prince sent to the frontier. She is a spoiled girl in the marquis. I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet between them because of the difference between monarchs and ministers and the defense between men and women.

So even if Chu Jinyao is very sad today, Qin Yi can't bear to make it clear. He will leave sooner or later and can't give her unrealistic expectations. When he returns to Datong, he will secretly send someone to take care of Chu Jinyao. If he meets her husband-in-law in officialdom in the future, he will take care of one or two as long as conditions permit.

In the first seventeen years of Qin Yi's life, he kept seeing the hypocrisy of the court and the darkness of officialdom. He lost his mother at the age of five, his little aunt and his father mingled together, and he was a grand tyrant who occupied everything of his mother. When all this happened, he was only five years old, so he watched helplessly. He grew up alone in the cold palace, surrounded by either palace concubines with ulterior motives or deliberate demands Good slave. Qin Yi thought that the world was like this, and people's hearts are evil, without exception. But he got to know Chu Jinyao by mistake. Chu Jinyao was originally a daughter of gold, but she was treated harshly by the farmers. She was a legitimate daughter, but she was excluded everywhere in her home. She was betrayed by fate, but she always wiped away her tears after crying and said that there was always someone facing her at home Yes, as long as she treats people with sincerity, sooner or later everyone will accept her.

Qin Yi feels incomprehensible. Why can such a stupid person be treated like this? How can he laugh? At first, he thought that most of the woman was mentally ill, but after getting along with her for a long time, Qin Yi always couldn't help but arouse the corners of his lips and relax slowly.

Qin Yi takes another look at Chu Jinyao and walks out slowly but firmly. Chu Jinyao likes Yunjin, wants to take care of her sister, and wants her relatives to live well. All these will come true.

The next day, Chu Jinyao went to learn the rules with mother Hua for a day. When she returned to her yard, she was so tired that she had no strength to stand.

Today, Kikyo accompanied her out. When they came to the door, they heard a loud cry in the yard. Kikyo followed Chu Jinyao and murmured discontentedly, "who is making noise in the yard? Haven't you seen the girl back? Are there any rules?"

Chu Jinyao thinks something is wrong... Listening to this voice, it seems that she is a stranger.

As soon as she crossed the admission door, she saw a woman standing in the middle of the courtyard. Her hair was shiny and shiny. Her hair was tied in a pointed bun and covered in a wire bun. She stood in the yard in a dark blue jacket and skirt, with her waist crossed, and was lecturing one by one to the servant girls.
