The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 8

After Qin Yi was sent to the Datong border, the Taifu cabinet elders were worried, but he felt that his eyes were out of sight. He's really fed up with that dog man and woman.

The border was poor and the garrison could not relax for a moment. Qin Yi also led people out of the border several times to pursue the Tatar cavalry. In the first month, the Tatar grandsons harassed the people again, robbed things and ran away. He took people and chased them out for 500 miles. When he surrounded the Tatar cavalry and planned to cut down the roots, he didn't notice and had some accidents.

Qin Yi felt that his injury at that time should be quite serious. He is not afraid of follow-up without help. The general army of Datong has not so much courage. What he is afraid of is that the news that he is unconscious will be sent back to the imperial city.

I'm afraid the queen is dreaming about this day. When she was able to hook up with her brother-in-law when her sister was seriously ill, Qin Yi knew she shouldn't have any illusions about the couple.

After Chu Jinyao finished educating his jade pendant, he saw that the other party seemed to listen, and then said: "You've helped me a lot. Now it's up to me to help you. Don't worry. I'll leave your business to me. It'll be fine. I guess the key lies in this kind of jade. I once heard Su's mother say that the Taoist priest told me that he put the jade pendant beside me, and then sang some poems. When my parents catch up with them outside, they can only see the vast snow. I guess this jade should be What's the magic power? Why don't we look for it again? Maybe there are people selling this kind of jade in other places. No matter how much money, let's buy it back and try if we can change you. "

It sounds decent. Qin Yi didn't think Chu Jinyao could help him, but Qin Yi couldn't say no. Qin Yi had to perfunctorily say, "OK."

But he thought to find a way to contact his confidants in the East Palace and let them find this soul nourishing jade for him.

Chu Jinyao racked her brains and thought, where are many jades? Or find a person who has seen the world and ask him about this kind of jade. At the beginning, the Taoist gave her a piece. According to reason, jades are always in pairs, which can't be the only one?

As for how to buy it after finding it... Chu Jinyao refuses to think about it. There will always be a way.

Chu Jinyao sighed silently. Qin Yi listened and asked, "what's the matter? He sighed."

"I'm worried about my future livelihood."

Qin Yi burst out laughing. Chu Jinyao stared at him and said seriously: "Don't laugh. I'm seriously thinking about things. I want to help my sister and buy you jade. I have to plan for the future. The expenses in gaomen courtyard are not small. They say that money can make ghosts grind. Others say that poor couples have everything to mourn. I know how hard it is to have no money. I still have a long way to go in the future. I can't always count on February and February and that thirty liang of silver. I have to find a way Find yourself a way to make money. As for the rest of the Su family... I can't do anything to bite back, and I can't do as well as the sage. From then on, the bridge goes back to the bridge and the road goes back to the road. We don't disturb each other and don't see each other again. "

"What do you want to do?" Qin Yi asked with great interest.

"I don't know. It's said that it's better to teach people to form a net than to give Mermaid meat. I can give my sister money once, but I can't give her money all my life. It's better to find a job for her and let their family take care of it by themselves. In other words, if I had a shop, I'd kill two birds with one stone. However, I heard that only when I get married, my elders will give girls a shop and count it as a dowry. I can't Get married right away? Hey, what are you laughing at? "

Qin Yi stopped laughing and deliberately said, "it's too early for you to get married now?"

Every man likes to tease girls. Even if Qin Yigui is the crown prince, he can't get rid of this bad nature. Chu Jinyao is said to be angry. He picks up the jade pendant and tries to fall. Qin Yi quickly says, "well, well, don't tease you. I think you're suitable for managing silk Chuang Tzu."

His voice was still smiling, obviously trying to hold back his smile. But when he said this, it somehow made people feel solemn and always made people want to believe him. It seemed that whatever he said would come true.

Chu Jinyao can't help trusting Qin Yi. As Qin Yi said, Chu Jinyao feels like she can really do it. She is familiar with the art of clothes. She didn't have the chance, but now she can get in touch with all kinds of precious silk and satin materials. When she has silk and satin Chuang Tzu, she will be very popular to cut clothes for people. Moreover, her sister can go to the shop and help her and make money... Chu Jinyao Suddenly she felt wrong. She helplessly looked at the Jade Pendant: "I've been taken by you. What do you mean I'm suitable for managing the silk and satin Chuang Tzu? I also think I'm suitable for managing the bank! Someone has to let me manage it."

Qin Yi was amused to laugh again. Chu Jinyao thought to herself how this person was like this. She spoke with her heart and lungs, but he was laughing all the time. It was easy. When Qin Yi laughed enough, his voice was with a happy smile, his voice was careless, but his pronunciation was very calm: "there will be some."

She liked to hear this, and Chu Jinyao Chuchi laughed: "OK, I'll lend you a good word. When this kind of injustice really appears, I'll change a gold thread for you."

"Presumptuous!" although Qin Yi said so, he couldn't hide the smile in his voice.

The sunlight spilled into the house from the pane and reflected the west room golden. Chu Jinyao sat in the warm sunshine, laughing and skillfully sewing lace for her clothes. On the small table at her hand, she was lying flat on a white and red jade pendant.

.

A few days later, when Chu Jinyao was greeting old lady Chu, she heard old lady Chu say, "Pearl wrote that her mother-in-law knew she was coming back, took special care of her, and gave her a holiday early. Huailing Prefecture is only a day away from Taiyuan. She walked faster and should be there the next night."

The girls were surprised: "aunt is coming so soon?" ten days faster than originally agreed. Their clothes are not ready yet!

"Yes." Mrs. Chu nodded, "your aunt is coming back. What do you want to prepare for her? Go back and be busy now. I don't mind you. If there's anything missing, just come and tell the old Gu family."

Mother Gu is the supporting room of the old lady of Chu. She is deeply trusted. Even Zhao has to give her dignity. The girls answered one by one, and then hurried back to pick up the guests' big clothes.

Ladies' daily affairs come and go just a little. It's already a big deal for my aunt to come back. Sure enough, as Chu Zhu said, on the evening of the third day, her carriage stopped outside the second door.

Chu Zhu is the only legitimate daughter of the old lady of Chu. She is like a pearl in her boudoir and married very well after she came out of the cabinet. Her husband's family is the prince's residence of huailing Prefecture, a king with a different surname that Dayan can count. Although the Royal Palace of huailing is not a serious royal family, the Royal Palace is the royal palace after all. Even if they are the distinguished families in Taiyuan, they are also the people after all. People who see the Royal Palace should greet them with fear and respect.

Chu Zhu sat in Mrs. Chu's rongning hall. The laughter could be heard from a distance. Zhao's daughter-in-law and other daughters stood on the ground, laughing with the old lady and her aunt. Aunt and daughter-in-law are different. The girl who is not out of the cabinet is a charming guest. The aunt who is out of the cabinet goes back to her mother's house, which is a distinguished guest and is better to be entertained, but the daughter-in-law is different. The daughter-in-law has to serve her in-law and raise her daughter. On this occasion, Chu Zhu is sitting by the stars, and Zhao has to stand aside and make rules.

Old lady Chu asked her daughter, "why did you come back so soon? Your mother-in-law didn't say you? You can come back whenever your mother-in-law comes back. Don't let your mother-in-law have a problem with you."

"I understand that my mother-in-law sent me back this time." Chu Zhu said, looking back at Zhao and others. "The sisters in law look better and better."

Zhao smiled and said, "where can you compare with your aunt? You keep a good figure and your face is transparent. People who don't know think you are a girl in our family!"

Everyone laughed, and Chu Zhu was particularly happy. Women like to be praised for being young and beautiful. Zhao had only one son and was weak. She was always very careful in front of her mother-in-law. Now I still want to hold my sister-in-law happy in front of my mother-in-law.

Chu Zhu said with a smile, "my sister-in-law can really talk. I'm almost an old woman. How can I compare with the girls like green onions at home?"

Yan Shi, the second lady, answered, "what my aunt said is that Ning Ge'er is going to get a wife. Aren't you going to be called grandma!"

Ouch, what he said coaxed Chu Zhu out of her mouth. She has always been proud of high marriage. She is the only one among so many famous officials in Shanxi to marry into the palace, and her son is her greatest pride. The old lady of Chu also cherished her only grandson. She asked, "brother Ning, why didn't you come in?"

Outside rongning hall, Chu Jinyao walked around in a cluster of yards. She lowered her voice and asked Qin Yi, "how do you get out?"

Just now Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian were in the old lady's room, talking to their ancestors. Suddenly, someone sent a letter saying that my aunt was coming. She hurriedly got up and prepared to meet her aunt. In a hurry, seven girls turned a cup of tea over Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao had no choice but to come back and change her clothes.

The old lady was worried for several days, but she was late on the day Chu Zhu came back. Chu Jinyao didn't dare to think about the next thing. She changed her clothes and hurried to rongningtang. In order to take a shortcut, she didn't take the main road she was used to, but planned to cross the yard and take a shortcut. However, as soon as he left, things went out.

Chu Jinyao is lost.

Chu Jinyao is followed by rose, a newly bought girl who doesn't know the way here. There are empty yards in this area. The dark ones look the same. They have been walking around for a long time and become more and more confused.

Chu Jinyao quickly whispered for help to Qin Yi while the roses were not paying attention.

"Go out from the corner gate of the small courtyard, go north along the lane, turn west at the corner... In fact, you can go another corner and turn west. You can enter the yard from the steps, cross it, and then take two steps to the south, and you can get to the road you often go."

Chu Jinyao was stunned for a moment: "ah?"

"Don't you remember?" Qin Yi was surprised and had to say, "go north first..."

"Where is north?"

Qin Yi was speechless when asked, "you don't even know the north?"

"I know. But there are the same houses and yards around. How can I tell?"

"I don't think you know." Qin Yi was so angry that he couldn't find the north in another place. Can you tell me the location? He had to say, "did you see the corner door? Yes, it's behind the ear room. Go straight along the road after you go out..."

Chu Jinyao groped slowly in this building under the intermittent guidance of Qin Yi. She had to support the roses for a while, and then secretly talked to Qin Yi. Chu Jinyao felt like a thief.

"How to go next?" Chu Jinyao secretly asked Qin Yi while people were not paying attention.

"What are you doing?" a voice suddenly sounded behind her. Chu Jinyao was startled and loosened her jade pendant.
