The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chu Jinyao was lost and was looking for Qin Yi for directions.　　Chu Jinyao cooked Grandma Sun that day, and went to learn poetry with Grandma Deng. When she returned to Chaoyun Courtyard, she was exhausted again.

But even so, she insisted on practicing calligraphy. Qin Yi looked at him and frowned, "You have been standing for so long today, so let's rest for a while."

Chu Jinyao shook his head without raising his head: "This is a must-do everyday homework, how can I miss it? I just bear it for a while. I have so much difference with Chu Jinmiao. If I don't work hard, I will be dumped. It’s getting farther and farther."

"She's just a fancy." Qin Yi came out of Yu Peili, sat opposite Chu Jinmiao, took the book casually, and said, "She now depends on nothing more than the time you spend studying poetry, while other women spend most of their time. On the needle and thread, she is too lazy to read a book, which makes her exceptionally brilliant. Your talent is similar to her, but your temperament is tougher than her. It will only be a matter of time before you catch up with her.

"Really?"

"Really."

Chu Jinyao chuckled and laughed. While writing, she said to Qin Yi: "Although I think you are coaxing me, but I still listen to it happily. But no matter how I don't like her, I have to admit that Chu Jinmiao is better than me. I can talk and win over people. You see I have been back for so long. The grandmother, sisters, and mother in the mansion all like Chu Jinmiao more, not to mention the brothers in the family. I think my two cousins ​​also like her more."

"I don't think it's necessarily." Qin Yi said, "You can't look at it on the surface. Actually, Chu Jinmiao's popularity among women is not very good. For example, your eldest sister doesn't like her. Your sister is carefully raised by the family. The eldest daughter, her vision represents 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 was skeptical: "Are you serious?"

"Of course." Qin Yi glanced at Chu Jinyao coolly, "Am I like someone who can look at me?"

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

Hearing this, even Qin Yi felt hard to say: "Your mother, she... I didn't expect that the wife of Changxinghou would be so partial and partial. If she continues to be like this in the future, she can only find someone to mention her. Up."

Chu Jinmiao was taken aback, and immediately asked: "What do you mean?" Qin Yi's words were too strange, and Chu Jinyao couldn't help but doubt his identity.

"Nothing." Qin Yi turned a page calmly and asked, "Why did you talk about two cousins?"

"You're changing the subject again!" Chu Jinyao reached out to pat him with anger. She didn't ask why she came, when she suddenly heard Dingxiang report outside: "Girl, six girls are here."

Six girls? What did the sixth girl come to do with her? Chu Jinyao was puzzled, and Qin Yi's strangeness was put aside. The sixth girl is a daughter of the third room, she is not very popular with the old lady, and she is cautious in her words and deeds on weekdays. Chu Jinyao secretly thinks that the sixth girl is a person with a good plan. But even so, Chu Jinyao would not take the initiative to approach Sanfang, what would he do to make the old lady dislike it? Six girls and Chu Jinyao have nothing to do with each other. They just nodded and smiled when they met. What did she do in Chaoyun Academy?

Chu Jinyao felt strange, she lowered her voice and asked Qin Yi who was sitting opposite: "You said, what is the Sixth Girl?"

Qin Yi put down the book and said: "Wait for the changes, go out and have a look."

Chu Jinyao put aside the pen and walked to the Mingtang, and she saw that the six girls were already standing in the hall. Six girls watched Chu Jinyao come out of the East Shao, and her eyebrows moved slightly invisibly: "The fifth sister is really diligent. She will go to the study to practice when she comes back."

Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "Well, I just look at it casually." Chu Jinyao led the six girls to the west. After the two of them sat down, the maid put on a fresh fruit plate. When the maids stepped aside, Chu Jinyao asked, "How do you think of me here?"

"I made some snacks, come and see Sister Wu." As the sixth girl said, she asked her maid to present the snack box. A maid with a pair of snail buns took a red lacquer box and took two steps forward, lifted the lid slightly, and took out a small pile of plum cake from the inside. The sixth girl smiled and said: "I do whatever I want, so don't dislike the fifth sister."

"How come." Chu Jinyao smiled, and asked the maid to put the plate of plum cake over and put away the other snacks one by one. Chu Jinyao glanced slightly at the plum cake of Miss Six, and then withdrew her gaze.

The Sixth Girl said that she did it by herself, but in fact, her girls did it. The Sixth girl did it by herself. Chu Jinyao only took a look, and felt that these pastries were more than exquisite, but in fact they were not too difficult. If there were plum 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 maids were all admiring: "Six girls are so clever." Chu Jinyao also smiled and said, "Six sisters are interested."

The sixth girl pursed her lips and said: "It's okay for Sister Fifth not to dislike it."

Chu Jinyao looked at the six girls and the others politely, but refused to mention the topic. Chu Jinyao didn't remind her either, and chatted with her calmly and leisurely.

Six girls waited for a while, but couldn't wait for Chu Jinyao to take the initiative to ask. She thought to herself that Chu Jinyao was really calm. The sixth girl had to break this layer of window paper by herself: "Fifth sister, I am here today. In addition to giving you cakes, I also have some selfish things to tell you."

When Chu Jinyao heard it, she looked at the maids around her with her eyes. Kikyo and the others immediately resigned wittily: "The slaves and maids will prepare melons and fruits for the girls."

When the Xianzi girl was almost gone, Miss Six lowered her voice, put her elbows on the table, and leaned forward towards Chu Jinyao slightly: "Fifth Sister, I am here today. I actually want to tell you quietly. Put a spy by your side."

Chu Jinyao raised her eyebrows unexpectedly and asked, "Oh? What do you say?"

"I have a maid who has children and is very popular. She went to talk to her little sister that day and listened to the maid who was sweeping in the courtyard of the fourth girl. When the fourth girl was talking to people, she didn't pay attention to the people standing behind the bushes. , I was only heard by that little girl. After my maid knew about it, she told me when she came back, I thought about how it was all right, so she came over and told the fifth sister."

Chu Jinyao's smile remained unchanged after hearing it, but he was still interested in it. Not to mention the fact that the girl overheard is true, even if it is true, why did the Sixth Girl tell her? Chu Jinyao didn't express his position, but said: "It's hard for you to think for me, but we are all sisters in the same house. If we are heard by others, most of us will have to chew my tongue again. Six sisters took such a risk for me, and I was very sorry. ."

Six girls said: "Sister Fifth doesn't know. When I see you, I feel very fond. In fact, like you, I am not very favored in Hou's Mansion. I am not as popular as the four girls and seven girls. I also have to. Carefully surviving in the cracks, seeing you are embarrassed everywhere, I feel pity for the same disease, so I always want to help you. But I am not favored, I am afraid I have more than my heart."

Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "Sister Six thinks this way, and I am very touched. Sister Six does not need to do anything for me, I know your heart is enough."

Seeing that Chu Jinyao refused to speak up, the six girls had to show their trump cards and said, "Fifth sister, do you know why Madam Hou suddenly thought of sending you a maid?"

Chu Jinyao calmly asked, "Why?"

"It's not that ghost. Although the girls have nurses in the yard, they are under the rules of discipline, but in fact they are not at all like this. If it was a girl, the mother would have arranged it for the girl. In the yard The girl is in charge of everything, and the mother-in-law is to make a black face for the girl and frighten the maid. But this maid of yours is not right. With such a person, everything about you has to go through her hands, everything Don’t say whether you do it or not, your every move will be spread out by her. You say, if this goes on, who will benefit."

"You mean, four girls?"

"Yes. Sister Fifth, now is the critical moment for choosing companions. The aunt, the eldest son, and the grandmother of the palace are all in our house. When they return, the princess will definitely ask about us with the aunt and grandmother. Let’s not talk about it, the mother’s evaluation of us is what matters. If they say a good one, it can be compared to a hundred of our own, but if they only have one bad one, then we can argue that there is no one thousand or ten thousand sentences. Yes. Fifth sister, do you think this is the reason? The fourth girl has placed a nanny by your side. If she exchanges something for you with this nanny, or asks the nanny to arrange something for you, wait for it to be passed on to the flower nurse. Mother and Mother Deng talked, then everything is over."

Chu Jinyao thought to her heart that she hadn't planned to choose this companion, but now she is just studying with Madam Wangfu. Chu Jinyao didn't care what the mother said about her, so in this way, mother Sun would not be as critical as the six girls said.

Seeing that Chu Jinyao did not speak, the sixth girl thought she was frightened, so she continued: "Sister, you see that the palace is going to choose two companions for the county lord. We two are sick and pity each other, should we unite more? What if it were us? If we don't do it, then Chu Jinmiao will become more and more frantic, and he may decide how to plot the two of us. Together, we have multiple people, and even if we encounter something, there should be someone to discuss."

Chu Jinyao said "Oh" in his heart. It turned out that the six girls had this idea, and they came to find her to form an alliance. Chu Jinyao had no intention of being accompanied by the palace, and didn't want to get involved in their infighting. She was about to say no, when she suddenly felt the jade pendant on her chest shook.

Chu Jinyao's face was still, but what he said turned a big turn: "I am very touched by your consideration for me. I have just arrived and I don't understand anything. If the sixth sister doesn't dislike me, I am willing to help me. Very grateful."

The six girls finally showed a sincere smile: "Our sisters are both poor people. As long as we unite, there will always be a way."

Chu Jinyao talked with the six girls again. After the six girls left, Chu Jinyao quietly asked Qin Yi: "Why did you stop me just now? I can't tell whether the six girls' words are true or not. We should do it. what?"

"She's here to find an alliance. Since she doesn't know her intentions, please hold her steady first, and then watch."

"But, I don't want to mess with them in this muddy water. Why should I agree to her alliance?"

Qin Yi said: "If you don't agree, she will find two other people. When the time comes, three people will deal with one of you. Do you think it's fun?"

"..." Chu Jinyao closed her mouth from ear to ear in surprise, "Will it be like this?"

"Why not?" Qin Yi mentioned Chu Jinyao. "When dealing with things, it is most taboo to please both sides. Both want to please. The end result is that neither side can be pleased. Especially if you only have four people, it is necessary to form an alliance in pairs. , Or else you will be squeezed out of the game by the other three. You and her will ally, and keep some thoughts when calculating the other two, and in the end you will save it as a handle to threaten the sixth girl. This is the harem... No, the back house survives. The way, do you understand? Don’t always think about being alone. If you don’t have enough strength, the result of being alone is often surrounded by other people. If you have enough strength, someone will come to you at that time. It’s a good one."

Chu Jinyao listened to Qin Yi for a long time and respected Qin Yi: "In what environment are you really cultivating to become a good one, you can count people out of one set." First, they formed a gang and killed the other group. After that, he immediately attacked his ally. Chu Jinyao suddenly felt that Qin Yi was terrifying, and it was too dangerous to be his ally.

Chu Jinyao suddenly said "Oh," her voice weakened: "You are so unsympathetic to your allies, then am I counted as your ally?"

Qin Yi was so serious to teach Chu Jinyao how to survive, but when she heard her, Qin Yi couldn't help laughing. "You think a lot. Don't worry, you can't get into my eyes at your level. I think you are wasting your mind."

After Chu Jinyao listened to this, the elder squinted her face and said in a bad tone: "Then I still want to thank you old man?"

"you are welcome."

"You go away! I don't want to talk to you anymore."

.

It is rare for Chu Zhu to go back to her family's home. After living for a few days, she didn't want to go back anymore. She is a daughter-in-law in the palace, she has to be careful when she speaks, and when she walks, she can't be wrong at all. But it was very easy in her natal family. It was her own mother who was in charge of her family. No matter what she did, she was right. However, no matter how long Chu Zhu is nostalgic for her natal family, she can't live for a long time. The married daughter often lives in her family.

Chu Zhu reluctantly set a date to return to the palace. When Chu Zhu returned to the palace, Lin Xining, Lin Xiyuan, and the two mothers of the palace would naturally leave together. Old Mrs. Chu was not willing to leave her only daughter, so she has detained the juniors by her side these few days, leaving the juniors in another place. When Chu Zhu left, their cousins ​​would not know when they would meet again.

This morning was Mother Deng's class. What Mother Deng was talking about today was "Speaking New Languages". Chu Jinyao hadn't learned it at all, and she was confused. However, after these few days of class, I can’t go back to my yard as usual, but stay with my sisters here with the old lady.

Chu Jinyao listened to the clouds and mist, she walked to Rongning Hall with her head full of questions, planning to ask Qin Yi when there was no one. Chu Jinmiao deliberately walked slowly towards the end. After everyone had finished walking, she smiled triumphantly and turned and walked back.

Others don't know the details of the so-called companion reading, but she does. People are not for themselves, and the heavens are extinct. Since the heavens deliberately let her know about the prince and the prince, then she can't blame her for being cruel, even if one or two people are sacrificed, there is nothing that can be done.

Chu Jinyao didn't notice Chu Jinmiao's small movements, she went straight back to the old lady. After lunch, she asked the maid to move the book to the back of the Baoxia, avoiding people to read.

While there was no one around, Chu Jinyao asked quietly, "The Pearl of Luminous Light, what's next?"

"The luminous pearl does not have to come from the river of Mengjin; the bi of the full grip does not have to be collected in the mountains of Kunlun." Qin Yi replied in a low voice. Chu Jinyao wrote on paper. This is today's schoolwork. She doesn't understand it at all, so she can only copy and memorize it in private.

Qin Yi watched Chu Jinyao write. After a while, he couldn't help but said, "Why do I look so familiar with the book that the Huailing Prince's Mansion has picked for you?" "Shi Shuo Xin Yu", these are the books he often reads in his spare time. These are not the contents of the scientific research. Very few ordinary men read them. Why did Mother Deng pick these books to teach Chu Jinyao and others?

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

Chu Jinyao and Qin Yi were whispering in the back holding mansion, but suddenly there was noisy outside.

Chu Jinyao frowned, called a little maid, and asked, "What's wrong outside?"

The little maid replied with a smile: "Girl, the son of Huailing said that the day is about to leave. Today, I came here to greet the old lady!"

It turned out that Lin Xiyuan was here, and Chu Jinyao knew it. No wonder it suddenly became lively outside, now that Chu Zhu, the people from the Huailing Palace, the old lady of Chu, and the Chu family girls are all there, and basically the whole house is gathered together. With so many people here, it's enough to make a little noise.

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

Chu Jinyao is a young lady after all, even if Qiu Ye is the maid beside Changxing Hou's wife Zhao, there is really no need to be so polite. Nodding to say hello is actually enough.

But Chu Jinyao didn't know, she knew, and she didn't know how to nod, and how to say hello. These things, which are as natural as breathing and drinking water to Miss Houzhai, are too difficult for Chu Jinyao.

In fact, Chu Jinyao should be the fourth girl, the second daughter of Mrs. Zhao in the Changxing Hou Mansion. But her fate was a bit bumpy. When she was born, she caught up with the Tatar side. The Zhao family gave birth to a daughter outside, and unexpectedly took her daughter by mistake, took another girl back home and named Chu Jinmiao. Chu Jinyao was just found back a few days ago, and Chu Jinmiao spent 13 years in the Hou Mansion, and had a deep relationship with his mother and servant-wife. His grandmother, Mrs. Chu, was not willing to let her granddaughter who had been in pain for 13 years go back. Just call the shots and let both girls stay. Chu Jinmiao continued to be the fourth girl, and Chu Jinyao lined up behind Chu Jinmiao and became the fifth girl.

Chu Jinyao grew up in a peasant family, and she didn't understand these Houmen etiquettes. She was afraid of others' jokes, so she secretly observed how others salute and spoke, and then figured out how to learn it by herself. As a result, she made many mistakes without knowing it, and she would like to send her greetings today.

Qiuye received Chu Jinyao's gift, and returned a gift, and hurriedly welcomed Chu Jinyao. As soon as the heavy sable curtains were put down, the temperature in the main hall was better after the cold wind was blocked, and the air-conditioning was no longer infused. Qiuye exhaled and said, "The wind is really big today. If the curtains are left open for a long time, it won't matter to us. If it's frozen, Madam will break."

Unexpectedly, Chu Jinyao quickly said: "I didn't mean it, I didn't expect it..."

"Five girls don't have to say that. You are the master, it's a big mistake, and the servants and maids are not doing well." After saying that, Qiu Ye scowled and stared at the person behind Chu Jinyao. "You two A little hoof, the fifth girl just came back, did you just come back? No matter how negligent you are, take care of your skin!"

The cloves and camellia behind Chu Jinyao hurriedly confessed their mistakes. Qiuye cursed a few more words before he eased his face and said, "Okay, if you make a mistake, you can correct it. You should pay attention next time when you are a errand!"

This time, Chu Jinyao also heard that her own behavior was inappropriate, and Qiu Ye couldn't talk about her, so she scolded the maid who followed her to please her.

Chu Jinyao felt sorry for her, and was hurting others for no reason. If she did a better job, how could she let others be scolded for her?

In fact, when Chu Jinyao thought so, she was still held back by her original family. In the big family of Houmen, the young ladies who have not left the pavilion are all golden branches and jade leaves. If you make a mistake, it will be a great punishment to ban your feet and copy the female ring. When, don’t you remind me as a slave? What's more, Dingxiang and Camellia were not wronged at all. Chu Jinyao had just been found back. She didn't know how to salute and say hello. Didn't the slaves like Dingxiang understand? As long as you remind one or two before going out, it won't happen like this. However, Clove is a boring gourd, unable to type a word with a pole, and Camellia's eyes wandering around, it is a heartbeat at first sight, let alone think about it for the master.

Qiuye sighed in her heart, but there was only so much she could do. Beating one or two across the floor, it was already seen that she was also sold from the peasant's house to the Hou Mansion. Jin Yao felt pity. No matter how much, Qiuye won't do it.

In high-ranking families, this is the reality and love.

Mother Zhang came out of the Xici room and was very unhappy: "Who opened the curtain just now, the lady just got up, and she still has sweat on her body. If the lady catches a cold, who will take care of it?"

Qiu Ye immediately bowed her head to plead guilty. Chu Jinyao was frightened, and said quickly: "If you don't care about Qiuye, I opened it when I came in."

Grandma Zhang has never seen Miss Jin rushing to confess her mistakes. Usually, a girl does not let people around her confess her guilt, or she has done something wrong, and she will not admit it herself. When she looks away, she will come forward. The most sinful, let alone the situation where Chu Jinyao was at fault. Let Chu Jinyao say this, it's really hard for Mother Zhang to have an episode. Even if she is the wife's dowry maid, she is also a slave. How can you say that the master is not?

Mother Zhang had to change her face immediately, and squeezed out a smile and said: "It turns out that the fifth girl is here. The fifth girl has asked her to come very early. Madam is doing her makeup inside, so come in."

Chu Jinyao thanked Mother Zhang, and walked towards the Xici room lightly.

Mother Zhang turned sideways to let Chu Jinyao go first, and then she followed. She looked at Chu Jinyao's back, as well as deliberately relaxed movements, and her heart was very complicated.

Chu Jinyao is a serious daughter, the proud daughter of heaven who crawled out of Madam Zhao's belly, why should he be so polite and careful? If you change to the fourth lady who grew up in front of your wife, she must have started talking and laughing as soon as she walked in. After that, she will run into the second room all the way, and fall into the wife's arms, no matter whether the wife is dressing up or not.绾发. But when she was replaced by Chu Jinyao, the wife's real daughter, Chu Jinyao, she was so cautious.

Grandma Zhang sighed. Who could have imagined that this kind of thing that I dared not write in the drama actually happened in the first-class gentry and prominent family in Taiyuan Mansion—Changxinghou Mansion.

In the late autumn of the nineteenth year of Jianxing, which was around October last year, the wife of Changxing Hou’s wife Zhao’s courtyard was drunk, and she began to talk big words with the servant woman in the other courtyard. She brags about herself. She is senior and knows many things about the wife, even the fourth girl is not the wife's biological child. She also knows.

When the servants heard this, they knew that the woman was bragging, who was the fourth girl, and that was the second youngest, the youngest child, who was born by the wife, and it hurts on the palm of her hand on weekdays. How could it not be her own? If it's a weekday, if the lady blows it, the people next to it should be happy, and the incident will be over. However, it happened that Lord Hou's long follower passed by that day and heard this sentence.

After Chang Sui went back, he immediately reported to Chang Xing Hou. Chang Xing Hou became annoyed. It was a serious crime to arrange the master at will. Then listen to what these women are planning? Changxinghou immediately asked the servants to bring these servants in the backyard, and he personally asked the guilt. The woman was frightened all of a sudden, she knelt on the ground and told Changxinghou what she knew.

Chang Xinghou originally didn't believe it, but he hesitated when the wife said that he had a nose and eyes. In the end, he sent his own people to investigate the matter in order to never end the trouble, so as to restore his daughter's innocence. As a result, it was found out after such an investigation. The fourth girl, the most favored daughter of the Hou Mansion, may not really be his daughter.

When Mrs. Hou's Zhao was pregnant, it was when the Tatars were offending the side, the iron hoof went south, and was approaching the capital. There was almost an accident in Beizhili, and Shanxi was even more devastated. Tatar was looted and looted in many places, and Taiyuan Mansion was no exception. Changxing Hou Mansion is a well-known wealthy family in Taiyuan Mansion, and it is naturally the target of these barbarians. At that time, Changxing Hou was leading his troops and could not take care of his family for a while, so the ladies and ladies of the Hou Mansion could only flee south in panic. Fortunately, Changxing Hou led his troops to regain Taiyuan soon, and the scattered family members were also taken back one after another. However, Mrs. Hou, Zhao's pregnant woman, was frightened and couldn't hold on to giving birth on the way to the south.

Everything was kept simple on the way to escape, and my life could not be saved, not to mention the production equipment. The Zhao family can only take people to stay with the villagers, and use a few gold jewelry as compensation, which can be regarded as difficult to give birth to the child.

At that time, the farmer had just given birth to a child, and because of this, they had to stay at home and did not flee south with the villagers. After Zhao gave birth safely, he asked the peasant woman to feed her milk for several days before leaving with the dowry. In a few days, the soldiers who came to pick Zhao's home will come.

After Zhao escaped and returned to the Hou Mansion, he became more and more spoiled for this daughter who had lived and died with him, even the eldest girl. The Zhao family had one male and two females. According to their age, they were the oldest girl, the second young master and the fourth girl. When fleeing, the eldest girl was taken by the old lady. After the Zhao family separated from others, only the grandmother Zhang and the youngest daughter were beside them. After returning to the mansion, the four girls were named Miao, and were loved by grandchildren from the family.

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

After Changxing Hou found out the news, he was furious, and he didn't even think about it for years. In the anger of Changxing Hou, he sent someone to rigorously interrogate the mother-in-law who had leaked that day. Later, the mother-in-law confessed that she was drinking with his wife's dowry grandmother Zhang's in her early years. Mother Zhang also had suspicions back then, but this kind of thing is hard to say, she has been deeply buried in her heart, and later revealed to this woman when she was drunk, and many years later, she was heard by Changxing Hou by mistake. .

Changxing Hou thought quietly for several days, and did not alarm the Zhao family, nor his mother, Mrs. Chu, but secretly sent people to find the midwife of the year. After the midwife left, Chang Xinghou sat in the house for a long time, and finally made up his mind to find his own flesh and blood back.

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

Changxing Hou casually scorned an excuse and left the house just after the new year. At that time, the Zhao clan was still complaining about him. What did you want to go out in the first month of the new year? Changxing Hou ignored him, and went all the way south, and found Chu Jinyao in a small village on the southwest side of the mountain.

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

Su Yao got up early that day and went outside to collect firewood at home as usual. When she came back with the firewood basket, she seemed to look back and saw a man standing not far away, majestic and extravagant, silently Staring at her.

"This uncle, who are you looking for?"

Hou Changxing didn't speak, he stared at him for a long time, and sighed to the sky.

The little girl in front of me was thirteen years old. Because she was doing farm work all year round, she was taller than the girl in the Changxinghou Mansion, but she was thinner and her skin was darkened. Her face is thin and she looks unhealthy, but her eyes are surprisingly beautiful. They make people think that she shouldn’t appear in this kind of village, but should grow up on a beauty of the country, raised in a deep palace. Beloved by thousands and served by hundreds of people.

There can be no mistake, the girl's eyes and nose are almost exactly the same as his sister Chu Zhu. On the contrary, the four girls, Chu Jinmiao, the longer these years, the more indifferent, unlike him at all.

Changxinghou approached slowly and asked, "What is your name?"

Su Yao thought it was strange, but she answered with a sweet smile: "My name is Su Yao. You are not here, right? Are you lost?"

Changxing Hou did not answer Su Yao's question, but asked: "Yao? This is not like a name that people in the village can come up with."

"Because my mother said that a Taoist priest gave me a piece of jade when I was born, and he named me Yao, so our family called it that way."

Changxing Hou looked at Su Yao’s jade. It was a piece of jade that was clean and clear with red flakes floating in it. The texture was very valuable, and the red flocks inside were also very delicate, just like the moment when blood dripped into the clear water. White jade imprisoned. Changxing Hou suddenly thought of rumors similar to confession of blood.

Su Yao, or the year Chu Jinyao was born, a Taoist priest came from Taiyuan Mansion. It is said that he was a treasure, and he brought a piece of precious jade that could bring back the dead, and he came to the world to find his master. Changxing Hou didn't believe in such rumors, but he thought that his child was about to be born, no matter male or female, hemorrhage is always rare, so he wanted to find a good jade for his child, so as to make a life-saving jade lock for the child. He found it in front of the Taoist priest himself. The Taoist priest looked at it, but said, "Yu has a relationship with your daughter, but he can't give it to you."

After Changxing Hou listened, he sneered and walked away. He is Lord Hou, and it is extremely decent to condescend to find a Taoist priest, but this Taoist priest does not know how to promote him and is full of nonsense. What does it mean that Yu has a relationship with his daughter, but can't give him this father? Let’s not say whether Zhao is pregnant with a daughter. If the Taoist priest doesn’t give it to him, how can he get it into his daughter’s hands? It's not that I want to take the opportunity to raise the price.

After that, Tatar offended the side and Changxing Hou led his troops to resist the enemy, and soon put the matter behind.

Thirteen years later, Changxing Hou stood in front of Chu Jinyao and remembered this past event again.

"This uncle, it's time to come back!" Chu Jinyao said with a smile, "You follow this road all the way north and you will be able to leave the village. I have to go back to chop wood and boil water, so I can't send you out. Otherwise. When my mother gets up, she will scold me again."

Changxing Hou frowned: "You little girl, you want to chop wood and boil water?"

Don't talk about girls in the Hou Mansion, even the maids who serve the girls will not do these rough jobs. His daughters, eldest and fourth daughters, have had a nanny, two first-class maids, and four second-class maids who have served close by since they were born. There are also many attendants sent by the elders. It can be said that they can't be separated for a moment. people. The fourth girl, Chu Jinmiao, was pierced with a needle when she was a female student, and everyone would be tossed about her. She was also applying medicine and asking the doctor. But Chu Jinyao had to get up early in such a cold winter, collect firewood on the road, chop wood, boil water, and clean the yard after returning. Chu Jinyao is his biological daughter! Changxing Hou knows what life the eldest girl and the fourth girl are living. Because of this, it is very uncomfortable to hear Chu Jinyao say this. What’s even more annoying is that this farmer deliberately exchanged daughters during production to let them do that. Chu Jinmiao, the daughter of a peasant woman, entered the Hou Mansion to enjoy the glory and wealth, but the real daughter of the Hou Clan was raised in their home without a good environment, and they even had to be instructed to work!

Changxinghou was furious, and at this time he had already made up his mind to take the little girl in front of him back to the house, keep her name, and call it Jin Yao from the generation of the girl in the clan. As for the surname Su, leave it to the farmers and their own daughters.

Chu Jinyao didn't know what Chang Xinghou was thinking at this time. She was still answering Chang Xinghou's question seriously: "Yes, my sister is married, and there is only one girl in the family, so naturally I should do all the housework. Ah, I Mother is up, I have to go back..."

"No need to go back." Chang Xinghou said, "Your surname is not Su. Come with me."

What happened after that was very vague to Chu Jinyao. Su's father, who had always been yelling and scolding at home, shrank aside and did not dare to speak. When Su's father came to scold Chu Jinyao, Su's mother cried with a sharp throat. Screaming, his younger brother Su Sheng also seemed to have become a quail. After hearing the news, the eldest sister Su Hui who rushed home suddenly fell silent and looked at Chu Jinyao quietly.

Chu Jinyao was frightened by that look, and then she was taken away involuntarily. She sat on the gorgeous carriage that she had only seen 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 send her off, but the eldest sister ran all the way crying, and forced her a cloth bag from the window of the car.

Inside the cloth bag are two clean cotton jacket skirts, which are rare decent clothes at home. Chu Jinyao knew that if her sister gave these to her, she would definitely be scolded by Su's mother and Su when she went back. If Su's father is anxious, it is not impossible to do it. As for the sister's husband, what he wants to say.

Chu Jinyao cried hard, and her eyes were red when she got out of the car.

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

Only then did the Zhao know that Changxing Hou was going to do what he did when he left the house.

Chu Jinyao lowered her head and stood in front of the Zhao family, yearning and shy. For a while, she didn't even know how to let go of her hands and feet.

However, her real mother swept her up and down several times and waved her hand in disgust: "Take her out. The smell of soil is really choking."

Chu Jinyao was suddenly embarrassed. The villagers didn't have the conditions, and coupled with the rush, she did not take a good bath. After Chu Jinyao was ready to freshen up, changed into clean clothes, went to see her biological mother happily, but heard outside the smoke-covered partition: "Madam, you don’t seem to like... Yao Miss."

"What kind of lady is she. Come out out of thin air, how do I know who she is? Hou Ye is true too, listening to the wind is rain, I don't know what cat or dog I brought back, maybe someone deliberately set up a trick to deceive him."
