The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chu Jinyao was lost and was looking for Qin Yi for directions.　　 The prince had been taught by a special degree from an early age. These people not only had to be highly educated, but also had noble morals and a prominent reputation. Qin Yi's teacher, that's not so good.

However, Chu Jinyao didn't know the weight of the teacher in Qin Yi's dialect. When she heard that it was the teacher of the other party, she stopped thinking. "It is said that famous teachers make high apprentices. If the master is good, then ordinary people will not be able to imitate them. I still practice honestly."

Qin Yi took a step to the side and hooked 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 reached out and pulled her over: "Hurry up, I can't leave Yupei for too long. If you don't write by hand, you won't be able to practice."

Chu Jinyao's wrist was held, and she only had time to see the other's slender fingers. Qin Yi is still in a spirited state and his fingers are still translucent, but even so, it doesn't 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 wasn't 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, and she will be caught by Chu Jinmiao's pigtail if she doesn't. 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.

Chu Jinyao thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. She had to put the matter of her aunt going home. After a while, the maid returned with the silver. Zhao asked them a few more words, and then asked the girls to prepare the clothes and faces of the guests themselves.

In the boudoir, the girls spend most of their time in front of the elders, staying with their mothers to talk to the maid, stitching a few stitches, and the afternoon is over. Ordinary people are like this, but at Changxing Hou’s house, Chu Jinxian did not choose to stay in front of her mother to do needlework. Instead, she saluted and said, “Mother, you have to meet the maid, I won’t bother you. . I'll go back to the house and do it."

Chu Jinyao took a look, and hurriedly said, "That daughter also retire first."

Chu Jinxian looked back at Chu Jinyao, and said nothing. Zhao didn't hold back, and waved his hand and let them go.

In the end, the third concubine took a look, oh, the two concubines were gone, but she and Chu Jinmiao stayed in front of the Zhao clan. Who on earth was born to the Zhao family?

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.

The Zhao family couldn't swallow this breath, and she couldn't stand up at her husband's house. Later, when the Tatar committed the crime, the Zhao family and the old lady's team separated. She fled alone, and only the nurse Zhang was left beside her. Zhao didn't know how resentful he was. Later, she gave birth to her next daughter in the small farmyard. Chu Jinmiao cried out of breath, but her little hand kept holding her skirt. Zhao felt that this was her daughter, and she must take it. Fight for a sigh of relief with your daughter. Later, when he returned to the Hou Mansion, the old lady felt sorry for her, and she subsidized the Zhao family. The Zhao family was so good to Chu Jinmiao that she almost lifted the four girls to the sky, even the eldest girl and the second young master. .

Later Changxing Hou brought back Chu Jinyao, and the Zhao family only felt that the world had collapsed and would not accept it anyway. Chu Jinyao has been back for a month, and even a few aunts can laugh and talk to Chu Jinyao, but the Zhao family has always been cold and indifferent to Chu Jinyao.

And Chu Jinyao... to be honest, she had already taken a lot of light in her heart. When I first came, I was eager for my mother, and when she had passed the most difficult hurdle, she felt that this was the icing on the cake. Zhao didn't like her, and she didn't need to keep catching up.

Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian retired from the Zhao family together. After leaving the door, Chu Jinxian stopped and said, "Why did you come out with me?"

Chu Jinyao was surprised: "Yes, is there anything wrong with this...?"

Chu Jinxian didn't know what to say, and there was a bit of hatred in her heart: "You, it's true. I have my grandmother to take care of me, and I will be married in a few days, but what about you? The men in the house can't count on it. You are only thirteen this year, and you have to stay in the Hou Mansion for many years. You don’t stay in front of your mother to do needlework and move around with your mother. What will you do in the future? Don’t forget that you have to talk about kissing.”

Chu Jinyao was said to be afraid to speak up. Chu Jinxian took a deep breath and calmed down the anger in her heart. Then she said: "Next time, be smarter, don't you come out without seeing the four girls? Wait for no one, she Acting like a baby with your mother will definitely be able to get something better. With such a big expense in the back house, who can survive on the monthly allowance? It is privately subsidized by the elders. You are not clever, you will only get a step difference, until the end Be sure to be crushed by her. In the end, if the marriage is crushed by her, I will see what you do."

"Sister, I was wrong." Chu Jinyao honestly bowed her head to admit her mistake. When Chu Jinxian saw her confessing her mistake in a good attitude, she felt a little more relieved, and said vaguely: "Human hearts are all fleshy. If you walk around in front of your mother, she will always see you. I'm going to get married soon. , Father doesn’t live in the house all year round, so you have to plan for yourself."

Chu Jinyao couldn't understand it. Chu Jinxian asked her to get close to the Zhao family and act like a baby so that she can live better in the future. Chu Jinyao also understands the truth, but she really can't do it. That's nothing more than calculating the stepmother, but Zhao is her biological mother.

Chu Jinxian has already said what she said, so let's mention the rest of the inconvenience. While she was talking, Chu Jinxian’s yard had arrived. She stopped and said to Chu Jinyao: "Take the thirty-two taels. The expenses in the inner house are too much." She wanted Chu Jinyao to find a way to save more. The money was close to him, but after thinking about it, Chu Jinxian couldn't think of any suitable money for Chu Jinyao. In the end she could only sigh: "You will endure a little now, you will be better later."

Will it be okay in the future? Chu Jinxian is not easy to say. If only Chu Jinyao was alone, Chu Jinxian would not be so worried. However, Chu Jinmiao was there. Originally, Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinmiao had a weak relationship, but now that Chu Jinmiao is a fake, Chu Jinxian has no thoughts about him. How could she not turn to her only sister? However, Chu Jinmiao was careful and thoughtful, and his mouth was used to being tricky. The right time and place and Chu Jinmiao were both occupied, and Chu Jinxian couldn't let go of it.

Chu Jinyao understood Chu Jinxian's thoughts. She smiled and said to Chu Jinxian: "Sister, you don't need to say, I understand. Money is dead, people are alive, and the living can still be killed by money. Is it true? You just need to embroider the dowry at ease, don't worry about me."

Chu Jinxian knew that it would be useless to say more, and nodded: "Fine. You can go back like this today. You can't do it next time. You have to stay in front of your mother and fight for favor. Otherwise, the cheap will be taken away."

Chu Jinyao smiled and answered, and then broke up with Chu Jinxian at the fork in the road, Chu Jinxian returned to the house, and Chu Jinyao walked to the remote Chaoyunyuan.

When there was no one, Chu Jinyao let Ding Xiang follow from a distance, and said to Qin Yi in a low voice, "Qize, my two sisters are great people."

Qin Yi smiled: "You're so good at it? She's right, your current situation is really not good."

"But there is already a relative who is willing to consider it for me. This is a good start, isn't it?" Chu Jinyao said, "It will only get better and better in the future."

This is the first time Qin Yi has seen such a person. He is obviously helpless, but he still vowed to say that he will only get better and better in the future.

People Qin Yi knows, for a little bit of petty profit, can turn against each other, stabbing them in the back. Since he was five years old, he has lived in endless calculations and struggles. He really did not expect that in the bottomless house, there would be someone who could say such innocent things.

Qin Yi stopped for a long time, but finally couldn't bear to expose her fantasy. He said: "Yes." He also hoped that Chu Jinyao would be so optimistic forever.

"Zize, do you remember the prince that father said?"

Qin Yi paused for a while and gave a low humble.

"Dare to shoot the palace lady in front of everyone...I think he must be young."

"Huh?" Qin Yi's voice suddenly became sharp, "What did you say?"

"I don't think I guessed wrong. But I guessed this way, not because he shot and killed the palace man in public. In his heart, the snare drum should be a very sacred thing, so he did this, in fact, I can understand. If you dare to do so, , He must be a very upright and open person!" Chu Jinyao finished speaking, waited for a while, and curiously said, "Why don't you refute me? I think a smart person like you won't easily admit others. "

Qin Yi sighed softly: "He is not upright, nor open. He just can't see it."

"But the Manchu civil and military, only he dare to do this! I know you must say that this is because he is the prince, but not all princes dare to directly confront the emperor and queen. I guess he is young because of this. He would rather go to the border and blow the cold wind than he would be soft with the queen. He still has a childish temper."
