The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chu Jinyao was lost and was looking for Qin Yi for directions. 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 house. 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 the daughter of a farmer, and her parents can say that her heart is sinister, and she changed the blood of Houmen for prosperity and wealth. 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 members were in the game, and there were so many years of family relationships, they couldn't let Chu Jinmiao go, and said nothing to make Chu Jinmiao wronged.

Grandma Zhang sighed secretly. If the Zhao clan continued like this, sooner or later, the family would be distasteful. Didn't you see that the eldest girl turned towards the fifth girl? Even if the Zhao clan did this, the eldest girl was also cold. But Grandma Zhang couldn't remind the Zhao family that although she was Zhao’s grandmother 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?

A brocade of ten feet, just one set of clothes on the outside, already used up one-thirty percent. Chu Jinyao felt very sorry for her, but she also knew that the skirts of the noble ladies were extremely large, and she was going to see her grandma. The skirts were made into seven pieces and the pleats had to be finely punched. Counting it down, it will cost three feet to complete the calculation. If there are some mistakes in the cutting, it will only be more.

"Let's do it ourselves, and we have to be more refined when we deal with it ourselves."

"Okay." Dingxiang and Camellia took out the scissors as they said, but Chu Jinyao called them: "Wait. Cut from the middle, the last two sides of the material are wasted, once you cut it, you can only make some purses. Give me the ruler." Chu Jinyao took the ruler, gestured diagonally, and said, "Try this."

Camellia hesitated: "All right? Good material, don't cut it badly in the end."

"No, I've tried it before." Chu Jinyao turned out to be in a bad situation at home. It takes many years to use a piece of cloth. She is sewing and modifying the clothes at home. Slowly, Chu Jinyao has a good grasp of it. sewing. She knows how to save materials and look good.

Camellia still refused to make it, it was still cloves. According to Chu Jinyao's statement, it was marked and cut. Chu Jinyao and Dingxiang paired up, and a few second-class maids also came to fight, and after a while, the jacket was cut out.

The second-class girl, Kikyo, praised: "It really saves a lot. The most important thing is that the remaining materials are still whole, and it is convenient to do everything in the future. If it is cut up, it can only be made into small gadgets such as kerchiefs and purses."

Chu Jinyao said: "This is just the shiny surface on the outside, and the inner lining needs to be cut separately. Lilac, you go get the piece of plain spun yarn, I remember there are some left."

After Lilac hugged him, several maids gathered around, weighed the fabric with their hands, and asked, "Girl, is this enough?"

Chu Jinyao touched her hand and said affirmatively: "Enough."

Dingxiang and Platycodon don’t know what to do anymore, they just do what Chu Jinyao said, and in the end, they were just cut off.

Kikyo sighed sincerely, "Girl, you are so clever."

Next is the cut horse skirt. Camellia asked: "This is a white-bottomed purple-flowered material. It's nothing more than a jacket. Is the color too light for a horse-faced skirt?"

Chu Jinyao was also worried about this. She took a close look at the pattern on the fabric and said, "Cut it out first, and then think of a solution when it's pleated."

After the cloth was cut, Chu Jinyao took a piece of it by herself and sat on one side of the seam. She pressed it with her hand, tried to make a few folds, then pulled out a strip of satin from the fabric, and gestured.

Several people of Lilac Platycodonis were sewing the edges, and suddenly Platycodon grandiflorum called out: "Girl!"

The maids all looked up, and the bellflower gathered around, picked up the pleats that Chu Jinyao had locked and looked at it. Chu Jinyao sewed purple satin on the folds, extending it to the knee, then cut the satin into a pointed end, lined it with a piece of harder cloth, and finally decorated it with tassels. Kikyo couldn’t put it down, and said: “It looks so good, just like the tail feathers of a peacock. When the pleats are finished, these hard ribbons will be pressed one by one. They must look like a peacock on the screen. It’s so beautiful!”

The maids all gathered around to watch, Chu Jinyao demonstrated how to sew in front of them, and then closed the edges. The dexterous maid will read it once, but she's a bit clumsy, and she has to look around Chu Jinyao again. From time to time, a maid brings her skirt over and asks, "Girl, isn't it like this?"

Chu Jinyao pointed out one by one, and Baoxia was very lively for a while. Chu Jinyao got his hands fast and finished a skirt in a short while. She was worried that Qin Yi was bored watching these things. She took a piece of cloud brocade and used Xiao Lou to pretend what she needed. She said, "I'm a little tired sitting outside. I'll take a rest inside."

"I'll take care of the girl." Kikyo stood up and said, "Girl, since you are tired, you don't need to take the basket. Let us."

"It's okay, I'll just sew two stitches at will." Kikyo took the basket in Chu Jinyao's hand, and followed Chu Jinyao into the western room and placed it on the kang near the window. Chu Jinyao said, "I just need to rest here by myself. You can go out and do needlework with them."

Kikyo hesitated, but was finally sent away by Chu Jinyao. When there was finally no one in the house, Chu Jinyao said quietly, "Are you still there?"

Where else could he go... Qin Yi said helplessly: "Yes. What's wrong?"

"There were so many people just now, I can't talk to you. Are you bored looking at these?"

Although the jade pendant fell on Chu Jinyao's chest, Chu Jinyao could not stay in the house without seeing people all day. So when Chu Jinyao went out and talked to others, Qin Yi had to stay by himself, except for waiting. can not do.

Qin Yi also felt bored. When did he care about women making clothes and other trivial things, let alone watching them do sewing. But he can't go back now, so he can only stay with Chu Jinyao. What else can he say?

Chu Jinyao said: "I think everyone's days are too idle for ladies. I am making clothes today, and I have things to do. I sit and sit as I did the other day. It's really too idle."

Qin Yi agreed. He has been thinking about how to get back to his body along the way. He still has a lot of things to do in Datong, but he can only stay here and spend time with a group of backyard women. Qin Yi was impetuous, but now he watched Chu Jinyao's slender wrist fly back and forth among the gorgeous brocades, his hands were dexterous and brisk, and he took care of the fabric in a moment. Qin Yi looked at it like this, and saw some beauty with a special rhythm, and the dryness in his heart subsided.

Chu Jinyao turned the skirt aside, and in a moment, she locked one side again. Qin Yi looked at it for a while and said, "You are indeed better than them, with neat stitches and faster speed."

"What's the matter?" Chu Jinyao said, "I am used to sewing clothes. On the contrary, it is embroidering. I think I'm going to make a fool of myself. If I can't tell if I sew clothes, wait until my grandmother comes. She asked us to embroider the square veil, and I'm going to show off the stuffing. The eldest girls have all learned embroidery since childhood, what can I do?"

Chu Jinyao suddenly asked Qin Yi: "Can you embroider?"

Qin Yi was caught off guard by the question. He smiled and asked slowly, "What do you think?"

Chu Jinyao was not frightened by Qin Yi's whistling air-conditioning tone, but smiled and said, "I think you can ask anything, but I thought nothing could bother you."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes secretly and didn't want to pay attention to her. But when Chu Jinyao interrupted him like this, Qin Yi's mood was much better.

Chu Jinyao put all the scissors and needles back into the basket, took off the jade pendant, and placed it on the Kang table upright. Her current identity is Miss Hou Men, making her own clothes is just to kill time. If she gets bored, she can throw it to the maids anytime, anywhere. She looked at Yupei and asked, "Have you been in a bad mood these days?"

Qin Yi didn't expect that even Chu Jinyao could see it. His kung fu for raising qi is really getting better and better.

Now that Chu Jinyao could see it, Qin Yi didn't want to deliberately tell lies to lie to her, he sighed in a low voice: "Yes."

Chu Jinyao's heart is very complicated. Qin Yi has been teaching her what to say and what to do these days. She never thought that when Qin Yi helped her, she also had something on her mind.

Chu Jinyao was very moved. She took out the jade pendant from the Luozi, and was about to ask about it. Suddenly she said in surprise, "Why is there only half of the red silk in Yuli?"

"This is what I am worried about." Qin Yi said, "I have a hunch that once all the red flocks disappear, and I have not raised them, I am afraid that I will not be able to live."

After Chu Jinyao listened, she lost her voice: "How come?"

Qin Yi sighed exhaustedly, no longer the way he was holding the winning ticket before: "Why did I think about it? But I have a hunch, most of it is like this."

Chu Jinyao was dumb, she hurriedly lifted the jade pendant to take a closer look. Indeed, the red flocks were sparsely sparse. This is just a guess, maybe nothing will happen after all the red flocks disappear, but what if?

Chu Jinyao was speechless. Although she had only met Qin Yi for a few days, she had already treated Qin Yi as a close relative in her heart. When she was in the most difficult time, only Qin Yi was willing to stretch out and pull her, she had nowhere to go in the house, and it was Qin Yi who spoke with her. Although he has no body shape or even a person, in Chu Jinyao's heart, he is more important than her blood relatives. Chu Jinyao felt that it was good for her and Qin Yi to talk, laugh, and break each other. She never thought that Qin Yi would leave her one day.

The air suddenly became heavy and made people breathless. After a while of silence, Chu Jinyao said softly, "Can I help you?"

Qin Yi was surprised when he heard this. After a while, he laughed: "It has nothing to do with you."

"How can it be okay?" Chu Jinyao said, "Since you were born in my Yu Perito, then we are a family. We have been together for so long. How can it be okay to say that it’s okay? If I have nothing to help you That’s all, but now you clearly need, if I still don’t do anything, then who am I?"

Qin Yi frowned when he heard these words: "Do you know who I am? You dare to talk nonsense like this?" No one in the world dared to say such things.

"I know. You are the heaven and earth elves born from Jade Perry. Since you wake up in my Jade Perry, then this is the fate between us."

The first sentence shocked Qin Yi, but this person's last sentence could anger him to death. Qin Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I said, I'm not a spirit." What spirit dared to get on his body?

"Then what are you?"

"..." Qin Yi was finally defeated, "Yes, what you say is what you say."

Chu Jinyao still felt that this person was inexplicable. She muttered in a low voice, "I said you are a ghost, you don't admit it, and you don't say it if you ask. It's nothing to be ashamed of being a ghost. You think I'm still growing up in a poor family. Well, I never feel embarrassed."
