The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

The prince said, you missed the key plot, so I won't show you this chapter! Go ahead and make it up~　　 Qin Yi took a step to the side, hooking his hand to signal Chu Jinyao to approach. Chu Jinyao hesitated: "This..." Qin Yi now looks like a young man. How could she be so close to him?

Seeing that Chu Jinyao hadn't moved, Qin Yi stretched out his hand and pulled her over: "Hurry up, I can't leave Yupei for too long. I can't practice writing without teaching it by myself."

Chu Jinyao's wrist was held, and she could only see the other's slender fingers. Qin Yi was still in a state of spirit and his fingers were still translucent, but even so, it would not prevent him from encircling Chu Jinyao's wrist with one hand. Live, pull her whole person over with a little force.

Chu Jinmiao felt that this was a pair of martial arts hands. If you don't practice martial arts, your fingers will not be so long and powerful.

Qin Yi how many years he has cultivated, both civil and martial arts are so powerful. Chu Jinyao was thinking in a daze, when her forehead was suddenly bounced. Although it was not painful, it was enough to wake her up.

"What are you doing?" Chu Jinyao clutched her forehead and glared at Qin Yi displeasedly.

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows: "Oh, are you silly? Hold the pen properly and write as I said."

Chu Jinyao is still very concerned about learning. If she doesn't care, she will be caught by Chu Jinmiao's pigtail. She immediately retracted her mind and listened carefully to Qin Yi's words. Standing next to Chu Jinyao, Qin Yi taught her how to handle the pen, how to carry on the transfer, and in some places Chu Jinyao did not do well, and Qin Yi was impatient, so he directly reached out to help her correct. He was on Chu Jinyao's left hand, and every time he wanted to hold a pen, he could only stretch his arm behind Chu Jinyao, vainly clinging to her to make corrections. Chu Jinyao was very uncomfortable. She told herself in her heart that Qin Yi was a spirit and had no sense of guarding against men and women, so don't care about it with him. With such repetitions too many times, Chu Jinyao actually slowly got used to it. Qin Yi held her hand and moved slowly on the paper, making her writing more and more smooth.

Chu Jinyao used to rarely write, she was very afraid of pen and ink, but now that Qin Yi took it with her, she quickly started using it. After Qin Yi let go, she could write a few words decently. . Chu Jinyao was very happy in her heart. She turned her head happily and said, "Look, I can write by myself!"

Chu Jinyao looked back anxiously, but forgot that Qin Yi was standing behind her, the two were very close. When she turned around like this, she almost hit Qin Yi's chin.

Qin Yi wanted to go around Chu Jinyao and hold the pen. It was inevitable that he had to stand very close. He was taller than Chu Jinyao, so he had to support the table with one hand and put the other hand around Chu Jinyao, bringing her familiar with pens. feel. Now Chu Jinyao suddenly turned around and almost hit him. Chu Jinyao looked back and found that Qin Yi's face was close at hand, stunned on the spot, but Qin Yi reacted very quickly, immediately raised his chin back, and lowered his eyes to glance at Chu Jinyao: "What are you doing?"

Chu Jinyao was embarrassed in her heart. This was the first time she had approached a man like this. It was also at this moment that she clearly realized that Qin Yi is a man and she can no longer get along with him as before. Chu Jinyao was about to speak to ease the atmosphere, but found that Qin Yi's chin was much thinner than before, and his face was so transparent that he almost melted into the air, with a light and fragile beauty, which made his features exquisite and exquisite.

However, Chu Jinyao no longer wanted to appreciate Qin Yi's outstanding looks. She said anxiously: "What's the matter with you? Is it uncomfortable?"

Qin Yi himself looked disapproving: "It's nothing, it's been too long since I got away from the jade pendant, and Shenhun couldn't support it. I just wait to go back and raise it."

What is nurturing? Can you make a joke about the soul? Chu Jinyao was really furious: "Since you can't be out for too long, then you go home! It was also blamed on me, and only just practiced calligraphy, but didn't pay attention to you."

"I'm fine." After Qin Yi finished speaking, he couldn't help adding, "Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you."

"Okay, I know, you go back soon!"

Qin Yi was a person who couldn't stay idle since he was a child, and hated restraint the most, but now being restricted to Yu Perry, it is simply unspeakable boredom. It turned out that there was no other way, but now that he can escape from that restrained place, Qin Yi doesn't want to go back anymore. But Chu Jinyao was crying in a hurry, and Qin Yi had no choice but to return to Yu Peili reluctantly.

In the jade pendant, the weak soul immediately felt much better. Qin Yi sighed softly and immediately went to comfort Chu Jinyao: "I'm fine, don't cry."

Can this be called okay? Chu Jinyao was really about to cry by Qin Yi, why didn't this person take his body seriously? She was dull for a while, not knowing who she was angry with, and finally she said, "You can't do this next time."

"Well, good." Qin Yi replied carelessly. He yawned lazily and said, "It's time for you to practice calligraphy. This is water milling skills, you can't be lazy."

"I understand." Chu Jinyao sat at the desk, picked up the pen, and said while dipping the ink, "I am practicing calligraphy here. If you are sleepy, take a rest first. I will stay with you."

Qin Yi laughed: "I'm not a kid, so where can I be with someone." Although he said this, the loss of his spirit was too great today. He only supported it for a while, and couldn't make it through, and fell into a deep sleep.

Chu Jinyao saw that Qin Yi hadn't moved, and she moved more carefully. In the study, only the rustling of the pen nib can be heard.

The night was getting deeper, and the little maid lighted the lanterns one by one on the promenade, and the lights in the courtyards of the Changxing Hou Mansion were also lit up. At this time, there are very few people walking around in the house, regardless of what they say or do in the daytime, those who can sit under the same lamp at this time are the ones who are truly close.

Chu Jinmiao put the lampshade on the candlestick and asked, "Is my father not here today?"

Grandma Zhang said: "It's all about this point. I'm afraid Master Hou will stay in that courtyard tonight."

It stands to reason that Chu Jinmiao is a girl, so he shouldn’t bother about things like his father and aunt, but Chu Jinmiao has been close to the Zhao clan since he was a child. After being wronged by his aunt, the Zhao clan also loves to talk to Chu Jinmiao. Over time, the Zhao clan. The people in the room got used to it.

Changxing Hou has a single wife and three concubines. Although the Zhao family has a stable position in the main room, they are actually only face-saving. Among them, Huang Auntie is the one who is really favored.

Just like tonight, Changxing Hou stayed in Aunt Huang's yard again.

When Zhao came in, she was the eldest daughter-in-law and Mrs. Hou. I don't know how many people stared at her belly. It was almost a year before Zhao got pregnant. However, in the face of many expectations, Zhao did not win a boy at one fell swoop, but gave birth to a big girl. Although Mrs. Chu was slightly disappointed, she still treated Zhao with respect. She took the eldest girl away when she was born, and was strictly groomed as her eldest granddaughter since she was a child. Although the child was taken away when he was born, it was very unfair to the mother emotionally, but putting it in the house of the nobility and the elders personally educated the granddaughter was extremely decent and showed the status of the mother and the child. After the eldest girl was taken away, the Zhao family reborn vigorously, but she was not pregnant for a long time. Instead, the son of Mr. Yan in Erfang became the eldest grandson of the Changxing Hou Mansion. The Zhao family was under great pressure and had to give it to a few aunts. Stopped the medication.

When Zhao was pregnant with the eldest girl, she could not serve Changxinghou, and it was inevitable to take concubines. Mrs. Chu sent a maid, Furong, over, saying that she was serving the Zhao family, but who could not know what the real purpose was. The Zhao family didn't like her mother-in-law interfering in her room. She kept pressing her face and didn't open Furong's face. When Mrs. Chu knew about it, she didn't say anything. A few days later, the Changxing Hou’s Mansion was out for entertainment. When he came back, he brought a woman with her surname Huang. She was a Taiyuan official who honored Changxing Hou. She was said to be a woman from Yangzhou. She was specially taught and used to honor the officialdom. Master.

As soon as Huang's first entry, it showed her strong fighting skills. Zhao didn't take it seriously, thinking that Changxing Hou was tired, but seeing Huang's energy getting stronger and stronger, Zhao gradually became uneasy, so she had to rush. Busily opened her face to Furong, letting Furong take care of Aunt Huang's favor. After Zhao gave birth to her eldest girl, she was not pregnant for a long time. She couldn't stand the pressure of her in-laws, so she reluctantly stopped the medicine for Huang and Furong.

In the high gate compound, the status of the aunts and wives are half slaves. As long as the lady in the main room does not nod their heads, they will drink refuge soup after going to bed. They can't let the bleeding pulse disturb the family's respect and inferiority. Wife's belly.

As soon as Zhao stopped the medicine for the aunts, this meant that an eldest son might emerge in her name, which was not a decent thing for Mrs. Zhengtou. Under the pressure of Zhao, he finally gave birth to the second young master to take up the business. However, it didn't take long for Aunt Huang and Furong to become pregnant one after another, and the next concubine came in one life. The Huang family was favored, and now she stopped avoiding the soup again. After giving birth to the third young master, she slowed down and gave birth to the third girl Chu Jinchan again after a year.

Huang gave birth to a son and a daughter, and his status in the back house immediately rose a lot, and his arrogance became more and more arrogant. After Zhao gave birth to his second daughter, nothing happened. Except for the fifteenth day of the fifteenth year, Changxing Hou seldom came to the main room to stay overnight. Even if he stayed overnight, he just sat down and talked. The Zhao family couldn't have a bleeding pulse anymore, so the grandmother Zhang gave Zhao an idea and opened his face to the dowry maid Bai Ling. As long as Bailing can keep Changxing Hou, it is considered to stay in Zhao's house.

The Zhao reluctantly let the dowry girl Bailing grieve her face, and she officially became an aunt. However, Bai Ling was not Huang's opponent at all. It took several years before she gave birth to twins, called Seven Young Masters and Eight Girls. She is only six years old now.

Aunt Huang is really the only one in the back house, and Furong is Mrs. Chu's after all. Even for the sake of face, Changxing Hou is not too cold, speaking, the most deserted place is the Zhao family.

Chu Jinmiao had been close to the Zhao family since he was a child, and knew everything about his mother's room here. She heard that Changxinghou had gone to Aunt Huang again, and she was so angry that she put the tea cup on the table again: "Why is my father always confused, who is Huang, and why is he worthy of such respect?"

A girl who has not been out of the pavilion can't say these things like her aunt, it's too salty. But there were no outsiders here, and Mother Zhang and the others also opened one eye and closed the other and let it go.

Zhao said: "Who said no? Huang used to pretend to look at her waist and legs. She didn't sit upright and looked like a fox. But men would eat this set." Zhao thought more and more. The more angry, I couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "It's all cheap bones."

What Zhao said was wrong, but both Mother Zhang and Chu Jinmiao were silent, not knowing how to persuade Zhao. After a while, Chu Jinmiao comforted the Zhao family: "Mother, don't get angry with them, because if they are spoiled, they can still pass you? No matter how confused his father is, he will not allow such things as annihilation of his wife. ."

Grandma Zhang also said: "Yes, ma'am, the love of the men in the back home is temporary, and the children are the real support. You still have the second master!" Grandma Zhang originally wanted to say that you still have the eldest master. The eldest girl and the fifth girl, but she thought that Chu Jinmiao was still there and it was hard to mention Chu Jinyao, so she omitted the girls together.

Mother Zhang changed her words temporarily, but the Zhao family didn't hear it, but Chu Jinmiao did. Chu Jinmiao looked at her with a cold look.

Since Chu Jinyao lost her way outside Rongning Hall that day, the old lady knew that the second-class maids beside Chu Jinyao were young girls who had just entered the mansion. The old lady was very dissatisfied with Zhao's handling of it, second-class The maid is still like this, one can imagine how careless the Zhao family is for the people around Chu Jinyao. But the more the old lady reminded the Zhao family to value Chu Jinyao, the more the Zhao family felt that Chu Jinmiao was pitiful. Everyone is afraid that Chu Jinyao will be wronged, so is Chu Jinmiao left unattended? On the contrary, the Zhao family loved Chu Jinmiao more and more.

Mother Zhang is an outsider, she can see it clearly, and she also thinks that the Zhao family is simply confused. After all, Chu Jinmiao is a farmer’s daughter, and her parents can say that her heart is sinister, and she changed the blood of Houmen in order to be prosperous and wealthy. In the past thirteen years, they actually treated their Chu family's daughter harshly. Changxing Hou and Mrs. Chu did not clean up the Su family, because they were already looking at Chu Jinmiao's face. Grandma Zhang saw it clearly, but the Zhao family was in the game, and there were so many years of family relationships, so she couldn't let Chu Jinmiao go, and she refused to let Chu Jinmiao feel wronged by saying anything.

Grandma Zhang sighed secretly. If Zhao continued like this, sooner or later, she would provoke her relatives. Didn't you see that the eldest girl turned to the fifth girl? When Zhao did this, the eldest girl was also chilled. But Grandma Zhang couldn't remind the Zhao family that although she was Zhao’s nanny and had grown up with Zhao’s milk, she did not dare to compare with Chu Jinmiao. If Mother Zhang concealed the Zhao clan, the Zhao clan would tell Chu Jinmiao in a blink of an eye that Grandma Zhang would not be able to eat and walk around. These four girls are a powerful character.

Chu Jinmiao heard that Mother Zhang changed her mouth temporarily, she sneered in her heart, but smiled kindly on her face, and said: "Mother, can you go to the small kitchen and help me make some golden cakes? I suddenly thought. Eat the snacks you made."

When Grandma Zhang heard this, the look on her face was startled, and she hurriedly went to see the Zhao family. Zhao smiled and said, "Miaoer wants to eat, so you can do it. It doesn't take much effort anyway."

Mother Zhang sighed in her heart, Zhao's still confused! Chu Jinmiao distracted her, maybe she wanted to say something, but the Zhao family agreed, and she was angry and still hated iron and steel.

How old is he, how come he doesn't even have this discernment ability?

After Mother Zhang left, Chu Jinmiao tickled her mouth, then sat down in front of Zhao's family and said, "Mother, I am not your biological daughter, but I have taken the name of the daughter of the daughter and let Chu Jinyao be here. I’ve been living outside for thirteen years. Do you hate me very much?"

"No!" Zhao's was taken aback, "Why do you remember to say such a thing?"

Chu Jinmiao lowered his eyes, eagerly weeping: "I also want to be filial to my mother, but others say that I dove in a magpie's nest, greedy glory, and the real daughter suffers outside. It's all my fault, mother. My daughter can’t be filial to you in this life. In a few days, you will send me back to the country. When I have a good baby in the next life, I will come to filial piety to you in a fair way, so as not to be scolded by others pointing at the spine."

The Zhao family never expected to hear such words, she was stunned, and then furious: "Who told you this?"

Chu Jinmiao wiped his tears and did not speak. The more Zhao clan looked, the more he felt angry: "Is it a servant? The old lady's? Or Chu Jinyao?"

When it came to Chu Jinyao, Chu Jinmiao shouted: "No, no, don't ask."

"Unreasonable!" The Zhao family angrily patted the table, "I thought she was a good one, and she has not made any moths in the past few days. She did not expect that she would dare to say that to you in secret! Miao'er, don't worry. , Mother must be fair to you. Only if there is a mother, you can be a lady of the Hou Mansion with peace of mind, and don't worry about these or not."

"Mother." Chu Jinmiao went to pull Zhao's sleeve. "Grandma said it specifically to make you take care of Chu Jinyao. If you scold Chu Jinyao for me and pass it to her grandmother's ears, she wants I am dissatisfied with you."

The Zhao family relied on a rage to say what she had just said, and when Chu Jinmiao reminded her, she thought that the old lady was still there. Her mother-in-law was serious and powerful, and the Zhao family had always waited on her mother-in-law. If Mrs. Chu intervened, she really couldn't deal with Chu Jinyao at will. Zhao's anger and hatred were both angry and hateful. Unknowingly, she moved her anger towards her mother-in-law to Chu Jinyao. She gritted her teeth and said, "I need someone else to speak to me when I deal with my daughter?"

"That's how it is said, but who would let Chu Jinyao have an old lady guarding her? Even the elder sister talked to her everywhere. Our girls are weak, how can we compare with the celebrity in front of the old lady?"

"That said, she is so precious, no one can control her?"

Chu Jinmiao said, "Mother, don't be angry, the way is all people have come up with. She is protected by an old lady. Although you can't control her, it is still possible to find some parenting maids for her. She was originally She hadn’t received much instruction. She used to be poor before and suddenly came to the rich and noble township. If she is not well disciplined, she will definitely be blinded by money and lose her temper. Therefore, you have to find her a mother and take care of her everywhere. , Although she will definitely blame you, but you are doing it for her good! Even grandmother can understand."

"Sister Guan?" Zhao's frowned and repeated suspiciously.

"That's right. You assign her a stricter mother, guide her to supervise the money and the people, and to supervise her rules at ordinary times. This is really good for her! If you can't bear to indulge her, she Sooner or later, she will nurture her temper by giving what she wants. If a person is rotten from the root, it will be useless to spend more time in the future."

Zhao nodded: "What you said makes sense. She is my daughter after all. I can't watch her all the time and send someone over to discipline her for me. Although she will definitely blame me, as long as I know it in my heart. It's for her good, so I won't ask for these false names." After Zhao finished speaking, he looked at Chu Jinmiao gratifiedly: "She hated you, but you retaliated with virtue. It is really kind to think for her in this way. After all, it is the parents of poor people who are not open-minded enough. Suddenly seeing so much money, you will inevitably be blinded by your mind and secretly exclude you. Don't worry about her."

"I understand." Chu Jinmiao pursed his lips and smiled.

It was getting late, and Chu Jinmiao had to go back to the courtyard to rest. When she went out, she happened to meet Mother Zhao coming back with a plate of golden crispy fruits. Seeing Chu Jinmiao, Mother Zhao stopped: "The fourth girl is leaving now? The fruit has just been fried, do you want it?"

"I suddenly don't want to eat anymore. Mother can handle it by myself." Chu Jinmiao put his hand in his sleeve and said lightly.

It was Chu Jinmiao who said to eat golden crispy fruit at night, and asked Mother Zhang to fry it herself. When it was done, she said she didn't want to eat it again.

Mother Zhang didn't speak, she stood aside with a plate of fruit, and sent Chu Jinmiao out. Mother Zhang lowered her head. She felt the moment she was passing by. Chu Jinmiao raised her head and glanced at her very quickly and lightly. Although the glance was light and fleeting, it seemed to be immersed in ice water. The dark needle made people hurt.

...

In Aunt Huang's yard, the three girls were complaining in front of Chang Xinghou.

"Father, I know I'm a dull. Mother teaches things. The four girls can learn it all at once. I can only think about it after I come back. I have to practice holding the lamp every day. Father, you say I am so stupid, yes Isn't there no way?"

"How come." Changxing Hou often came to Aunt Huang's yard, and often saw the three girls. The number of meetings has increased, and Changxing Hou will inevitably feel more pity for this concubine. When Changxing Hou saw his daughter with a drooping face and a downcast look, he felt even more pity in his heart. He couldn't help lowering his voice and said, "The stupid bird flies first, and diligence can make up for the clumsy. You are willing to work hard. This is far better than your sisters. . If you stick to it like this, if you accumulate less, you will always pay off."

"Does it really happen?" The third girl gave a pleasant smile. She frowned and bit her lip in distress. "The fourth sisters can understand after listening to them in class, and they don’t need tuition after they come back. Ri always has to see the light in order to be equal to them. Does my father really blame me for being stupid?"

Aunt Huang listened and added in due course: "It's not just a hand-held lamp. Every time I go to see the third girl, it's almost dark. She is still practicing calligraphy and rules in the house."

"Still studying when it's dark?" Chang Xinghou was surprised. The girls of the Chu family were all pampered. The elders supervised the young master's homework very strictly, but it was easy under the girl's name. It is already extremely diligent to be willing to continue reading homework after school, and practicing alone until dark and holding the lamp, Changxing Hou dare not even think about it. After the surprise, Changxing Hou felt satisfied with the three girls: "Yes, you are so diligent, and you will be successful in the future."

Seeing the appreciation in Chang Xinghou's eyes, the three girls were very happy. She made her face smile with joy and shyness. She looked like she was overjoyed but slightly embarrassed after being appreciated by her father. She knew that Chang Xinghou liked this shy, frank and naive appearance the most. The third girl said: "It's good if my father doesn't dislike me. Even if I can't choose a companion, it's worth the reward for my father's sentence."

Changxing Hou also smiled and said: "You are so diligent, your grandmother will see it. For the county lord to choose a companion, smart is the second, and the most important is diligence. The county lord is smart enough, she is just impatient to study. It would be a good thing if there are people like you who are diligent."

After hearing this, the third girl and Aunt Huang looked at each other, and both saw joy in each other's eyes. Changxinghou, this is, do you like the three girls?

The third girl took the eight-year-old girl who was only six years old to pick out patterns. Aunt Huang and Aunt Fu also followed to help their girls make needles. Soon, only Chu Jinmiao was left beside Zhao's.

Chu Jinmiao leaned on the Zhao family and said, "Mother, why do we have to prepare so much when my aunt comes back this time? We haven't seen this before."

Zhao laughed without saying a word: "You only need to listen to the words of the mother. This time dress up and embroider the clothes well, remember?"

Chu Jinmiao snorted softly and said, "I also want to dress well, but they won't give you a good embroider if you don't give money to reward those who are under your command."

"What a big deal. I have some gold thread left here. You take them and don’t save them. Is the head noodles enough? I sent me a set of ruby ​​noodles the other day. If you don’t have enough, take it first. use."

"Thank you, mother!" Chu Jinmiao responded immediately, "My mother is the best to me!"

The Zhao clan looked at Chu Jinmiao dozingly. She didn't know what she thought of, and then sighed again: "You are also a pitiful woman. Who else can I count on if I don't subsidize you as a mother? Your father doesn't talk about it. Said, but I am very biased towards that. Your eldest sister has your grandmother's subsidy, and the old lady's private house is not sure how much! The third girl also has Huang's help. In other words, only you are alone."

"Didn't I have a mother!" Chu Jinmiao hugged Zhao's arm. Although he was smiling on his face, he made a chuckle in his heart. She has become accustomed to the life of the four top-notch girls everywhere, so she shouldn't be compared to her sisters! Chu Jinmiao's thought activity started. What is the purpose of my aunt returning to her natal home this time?

The Zhao family wanted to subsidize Chu Jinmiao, not to mention Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian, even the second young master Chu Chengye couldn't compare.

There is a reason why the Zhao family dotes on the second daughter like this, even surpassing the eldest daughter and the eldest son.

The second young master is the only son of the Zhao family and the eldest son of Dafang, but he is the second son of the family. After the Zhao family started, the first child gave birth to Chu Jinxian. Chu Jinxian was taken away by the old lady when he was born. The Zhao family did not give birth to a son, so he was still pregnant. However, he did not move for two consecutive years. Erfang's daughter-in-law gave birth to the eldest grandson of Changxing Houfu. The Zhao family was under great pressure, so she had to stop the medication for her aunt. Not long after, she finally gave birth to her second child, the second young master Chu Chengye.

But before Zhao could breathe a sigh of relief, the other two aunts gave birth to two concubines one after another, and because Zhao was too worried when she was pregnant, the second young master was not very strong after giving birth to her womb, and his body was very weak. The Zhao family is Mrs. Hou, and even if there is no eldest grandson left, the son who is born is not good enough, but the other two concubines are stronger than the other.
