The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chu Jinyao was lost and was looking for Qin Yi for directions.

The woman snorted arrogantly. Just as she was about to scold Kikyo, she saw Chu Jinyao wave his hand and said to Kikyo: "Telling you so many times to make you temper your temper, you always don't listen. Fortunately, mother. Madam was sent by the wife. She is big and doesn't care about you. See if you dare to dare next time?

Kikyo squatted down quickly and said, "The slave dare not, please forgive me."

"Okay, put the things in the study first. This is the homework assigned by the two maternal grandmothers of the Royal Palace. If there is anything wrong, I can only ask you."

Kikyo lowered his head and ran in quickly. The mother-in-law called twice, but did not call Kikyo. Seeing that Chu Jinyao was willing to take care of the maid, her heart was already very uncomfortable. The mother-in-law thought, the fourth girl and the wife were right. There were no rules in the fifth girl's yard. Since the wife sent her to guide the fifth girl, she must rectify the atmosphere of the fifth girl.

Chu Jinyao's waist and legs were very sore. Even so, she forced her smile, walked two steps closer, and asked, "How do you call the mother?"

The woman stood up and said arrogantly: "The old slave is surnamed Sun."

"Grandma grandma is good." Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "Since it was sent by her mother, it is an elder, so I can't neglect it. Dingxiang, clean up a clean room, and take her grandma to rest."

Ding Xiang took the order. Before taking a few steps, she heard the grandmother Sun say: "Fifth girl, the wife sent me to rectify the rules for you. To tell the truth, you may not like to listen to your yard. The rules here are too loose, and there is nothing more orderly than the Four Girls. Girl, you are still young, and you don’t know how sinister people are. You look glamorous in the back home, but there are a lot of things hidden behind the scenes, especially those slippery. Slaves and maids love to collude to deceive their masters. For example, a girl’s money jewelry. Girl, you have a lot of things every day, and you can’t remember which jewelry is in the box. Take your jewelry and sell it. So my wife sent me over. The first important thing is to let me help you learn as a housekeeper, so as not to be humiliated by the slaves below."

Chu Jinyao secretly got angry, and this woman literally pushed her nose on her face. Chu Jinyao originally wanted to put on a high hat for her, and then offered it from afar, and it would be nice not to hinder her, but now it seems that this woman's hands are very long.

Sure enough, the grandmother grandma paused and said, "Girl, where is the key to your clothes and jewelry? You are young. I am afraid that you will be deceived by the slaves below. Let the old slaves take care of them."

"You don't need to work your mother." Chu Jinyao said with a cold face, "I am in charge of these things. This is what I have been used to at home, and I will not be deceived by others. Since the mother is sent by my mother. , It should be supported by my good students. How can you worry about this? Isn't this my unfilial piety."

Chu Jinyao has already moved out of filial piety, but as the saying goes, it is unreasonable for a scholar to meet soldiers. This woman has a very thick face. No matter what Chu Jinyao said, she just insisted: "Madam sent me to take care of the five girls. Eyes, clothes and jewellery naturally require the old slave to worry about. If the girl refuses, the old slave will have to go to his wife to reason."

It was extremely rampant, Chu Jinyao sullen, and said, "Then you go. Dingxiang, get ready to write, I want to review my homework."

Chu Jinyao said, and walked to the main house without looking back. Grandma Sun was a little stunned. She obviously didn't expect Chu Jinyao to dare to be so tyrannical. The girl in the inner house was not soft and soft, acting in a roundabout way. How could Chu Jinyao dare to just let it go?

Grandma Sun yelled: "I'm from Madam, Madam said..."

Chu Jinyao calmly said: "Ding Xiang, the message goes on, I am going to read, no one is allowed to speak loudly. If it disturbs me and delays me and the grandmother of the palace in learning the rules, then I have to go to my grandmother and let grandmother come. Be fair."

Although Chu Jinyao said this to Dingxiang, the direction in the words was very clear. Mother Sun was dumb, Chu Jinyao turned her head and glanced at the people coldly, then opened the curtain and went in.

When he got indoors, Kikyo Masaki was in the study, and he dared not go out. She also heard the movement outside, and now seeing Chu Jinyao again, she felt very admired: "Girl..."

Chu Jinyao felt terribly upset, and she said to Kikyo: "She is still yelling at her outside, so please bear with me first, stay in Xici for a while, wait until she gets tired of yelling, then go out."

Kikyo responded crisply: "Yes."

The study soon calmed down again. The maids all knew Chu Jinyao's habits. It was customary not to keep anyone in the study. After waiting for no one, Chu Jinyao sighed long.

Qin Yi sighed and laughed: "What's the matter, didn't you just be very prestigious? What did you sigh for?"

"I didn't have such a violent temper." Chu Jinyao said, "It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and black are black. Sure enough, look at what you have taken me into!"

If someone dared to talk to Qin Yi like this, Qin Yi would have let people clean up. But now he listened to Chu Jinyao's words, but he couldn't help himself with a smile: "You can be reasonable, but don't rely on me for everything."

Chu Jinyao couldn't hold his face, and smiled lightly. She laughed for a while, and her tone changed into sorrow again: "It's easy to ask God to give it away. How can I send this big Buddha out!"

Qin Yi didn't speak, he came out of Jade Peili, sat down at the table leisurely, and flipped through the book casually. Chu Jinyao pretended to be pitiful, but found that Qin Yi couldn’t put it on, so she hurried around to the other side of the table, sat opposite Qin Yi, with her arm lying on the table, carefully poking Qin Yi’s arm: "Qize, why? Do it?"

Qin Yi raised his head and smiled at Chu Jinyao: "I don't know, think about it yourself."

"I just can't figure it out, I'm here to look for you!" Chu Jinyao continued to act like a baby, and finally simply said, "If you don't tell me, I will cry for you."

Qin Yi glanced at her lightly and said, "Cry."

Chu Jinyao finally knew where the familiar feeling came from. Grandma Sun would say that she was going to file a complaint with Zhao, and Chu Jinyao said, "Then you go." Her manner and tone at the time were exactly the same as Qin Yi's "Cry!"

Chu Jinyao said that it was really retribution. She narrowed her mouth, cautiously, but kept poking Qin Yi's arm, looking at him with that kind of pitiful eyes. Qin Yi didn't move his eyebrows, but after holding the book in his hand for a long time, he didn't turn a page in a daze.

Qin Yi couldn't bear it, closed the book, and said with a calm face: "You are really bold."

Chu Jinyao laughed immediately and said, "I knew you wouldn't care about me."

Qin Yi was really helpless and funny, he said: "Really retribution."

Chu Jinyao showed an attitude of being obediently educated, and pouring Qin Yi a cup of tea graciously, although Qin Yi didn't need it. Qin Yi was so stern, and seeing her doing this, he couldn't help but glared at her angrily and amusingly.

"The grandmother grandma was given to you by your mother. I don't need to tell you exactly who instigated you. You know. With this person, you will be in trouble tomorrow if you see the Zhao family."

"I understand." Chu Jinyao sighed, "Clearly Chu Jinmiao was the young lady who grew up here, and she was also the one who replaced my ranking and status. I haven't been hostile to her yet, but she targeted me."

"There is always no end to the human heart." Qin Yi knew that he had to leave sooner or later. It turned out that Chu Jinyao encountered difficulties and Qin Yi helped her solve it, but now he knows that he is leaving, so he no longer helps her to stop him. Everything, and taught her these intrigues bit by bit: "It is a good thing for her to take the initiative to attack you, even if she does nothing, I have to stimulate her to do it. You are now the person framed, naturally taking care of the outside Whether your mother-in-law or your mother is partial, you don’t need to bother about it. You can indulge that mother-in-law and let her be more rampant as possible. When the time comes, you can directly stab the person in charge and show it to everyone. This is called If you don't move, you will kill with one blow."

Chu Jinyao seemed to nod with feeling: "You mean, I deliberately showed weakness and made grandma grandma more and more rampant, and finally made an intolerable mistake and let grandma intervene to deal with it?"

"That's it." Qin Yi said, "If you have a high enough status, you can just do what you want, but if you still can't do it now, you can only do things in a roundabout way and sell pitiful things to your elders. And your father, Chu Jing is a picker. To be clear, you inadvertently reveal what Chu Jinmiao has done to you. It is enough to reveal a little, and let him check the rest. Since your mother is partial, you can only find another way, let Chu Jing see. Look, what kind of life you live in the back house."

Chu Jinyao has completely understood. She nodded: "I understand. To put it bluntly, these disputes in the inner house are the same as those in the village, but they have to cover themselves with a passive layer, as if they are passive and compelled to do everything."

It turned out that in Su’s family, if someone came to ask Chu Jinyao for the key to the family’s money, Chu Jinyao would definitely be able to scold him to death, that is, let other people in the village judge, and no one could say that Chu Jinyao was wrong, Chu Jinyao said. Emotion and reason are tenable. But now in the Hou Mansion, things can't be so straightforward. If she really reprimanded the grandmother, everyone would only say that she was not filial, but would not ask her why.

The environment is different and things are completely different. Chu Jinyao is trying hard to adapt to the new rules in Houmen.

"Yes, that's it." Qin Yi smiled, "Men always like innocent and weak women. You are too strong, but it is not easy to please."

"Men are like this? Can they not see that this is fake?"

Qin Yi was stunned when he was asked. He was used to seeing Chu Jinyao's bright eyes, but he could only avoid it carefully, saying, "Not all men are like this... "

"What about you?" Chu Jinyao blurted out without waiting for Qin Yi to finish.

"Me?" Qin Yi smiled, "I have too many things to do. Men and women matters are far from my plan."

Chu Jinyao asked the question recklessly, and she was a little surprised after she said it, but now listening to Qin Yi's answer, she felt a little empty in her heart. Chu Jinyao suppressed the inexplicable thoughts and smiled and said to Qin Yi: "You are right. Men are very affectionate. If you have those skills, it is better to focus on your own affairs. After all, a good life is the most important thing. As for that. Love is all vain."

Qin Yi thought that Chu Jinyao's words made sense logically, but there was always something wrong psychologically. He frowned and said: "You are a girl, don't talk about love all day long. How old are you now, don't always think about marrying someone."

"Who thought about it?" Chu Jinyao was annoyed, and immediately replied unwillingly. They both said something to me, and Twilight slowly deepened.

On the second day, Chu Jinyao went to greet the Zhao family. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Chu Jinmiao sitting next to the Zhao family, peeling the oranges for the Zhao family.

Chu Jinyao knew that her defendant had been accused.

"Mother." Her face was calm, she pretended to know nothing, and saluted Zhao in the same manner.

Zhao placed her hand on the table, and the gold bracelet on her wrist touched the table top, making a crisp clash. "I heard from Grandma Sun, you deliberately contradicted Grandma Sun without accepting discipline?"

Mother Sun copied her hands, looking aggrieved, while Chu Jinmiao lowered her head and peeled her skin intently, without ever raising her head and glanced at it.

Chu Jinyao calmly asked, "Mother, where do you start?"

"Grandma Sun told me about it, she went to discipline you, and even if you contradicted you, she was rude to Grandma Sun in front of everyone. Do you still have my mother in your eyes? "

"Mother, you also know that you are my mother-in-law." Chu Jinyao raised her head to look at the Zhao family, and said every word, "Why don't you ask me what happened? Grandma Sun, she just came here. Just yelling in my yard, I came back from where Mother Hua was. Before I had time, I sat down and took a drink. I listened to Grandma Sun saying that she came by your order to collect my clothes and The key to jewelry."

Chu Jinyao raised her head and looked at the Zhao family: "Mother, is this what you instructed her to do? Don't ask questions, put all my wealth in your hands first, so you can restrain me?"

The Zhao family frowned and looked at the grandmother. She asked the grandmother to take care of Chu Jinyao's servants. Don't let people kick Chu Jinyao's face. How could this woman rashly ask for the key from Chu Jinyao? ? The clothes and jewelry in the back house are the woman's greatest possessions. If it is not a trustworthy servant, who will let others touch them? Zhao's gaze came over, and Mother Sun hurriedly lowered her head, Zhao's heart was a little irritated: "Why didn't you talk about this? Who let you make your own decision?"

"Mrs. Hui, it's not the old slave making his own claim!"

"Then you said, who instructed you to do this?" Zhao was angry, and put his hands on his lap, and asked, "I want to see, where are you brave enough to act against me."

Mother Sun was sweating, she promised not to speak, but she secretly looked at Chu Jinmiao with one eye. Chu Jinyao also stared straight at Chu Jinmiao, but wanted to see how she rounded it off.

Lin Xiyuan smiled and said: "What are you talking about, old lady? Changxing Hou Mansion is the home of Zhongming Ding's food. Along the way, your mansion's rules have kept me educated. How can it be called poor hospitality?"

Mrs. Chu laughed loudly when she was said to be so happy, she seldom smiled with the deep horoscope pattern on her lips: "The son of the world likes it."

After greeting Mrs. Chu, Lin Xiyuan saluted like Chu Zhu: "Second aunt." After finishing speaking, he smiled and nodded to Lin Xining and others: "Second brother, elder sister, second sister."

When Chu Zhu returned to her family's home, she naturally brought her children and concubines. Lin Xiyuan is the eldest son of the Royal Mansion. His second brother is Lin Xining, his elder sister is Chu Zhu's concubine Lin Baoying, and his second sister is Lin Baohuan.

The descendants of the Huailing Prince’s Mansion have been reduced too much compared to the Changxing Hou’s Mansion. The princess and the princess have only one son and a daughter, both of whom are prostitutes. They are the elder son and the county lord Lin Baozhu. The second prince is Chu Zhu’s husband-in-law. There is only one son, Lin Xining, and two daughters.

Lin Baohuan is the lovely daughter of the royal palace, and also the only daughter of the grandmother. She has been the star holding the moon since she came to Changxing Houfu, but now in front of Lin Xiyuan, Lin Baohuan dared not to be a little arrogant, and quickly bowed her head in salute: "Big Brother."

Lin Xiyuan is their eldest brother, or the eldest son of a dignified mansion. Even though he seems to have a gentle temper, Lin Baohuan knows that their eldest brother is much more than that.

The girls of the Chu family saw Lin Baohuan, who had always had eyes on top of their heads, behaved like rabbits in front of Lin Xiyuan, and they became more and more frustrated with Lin Xiyuan. Young Master Pian Pian has a distinguished family background, a handsome face, and always smiles three-pointers. Which girl doesn't like this kind of turbulent Young Master?

Lin Xiyuan stood in Rongning Hall, and that was the spotlight. The girls were all looking at Lin Xiyuan secretly. Yesterday they thought that their cousin Lin Xining was outstanding, but now that she saw the son, Lin Xining suddenly became mediocre. To put it bluntly, Lin Xining is the same as her brothers, under the guidance of the family, all gestures are expensive, but they are not much different from their peers, because everyone is like this. But Lin Xiyuan is obviously different.

Lin Xiyuan had many sights on his body, but his smile remained unchanged, his face was not stiff, as if he was born accustomed to being noticed. He talked and laughed with elders such as Mrs. Chu, Chu Zhu and other elders with a calm expression. He had a degree of advancement and retreat, and his manners were elegant.

Chu Jinmiao took a peek for a while and withdrew his gaze, but the hand on his side became tighter and tighter. This is the gap between the royal palace and the marquis. The second son will not have the brilliance of Lin Xiyuan. As long as she goes to the palace, she will have the opportunity to contact people like the county owner and the prince. If you have the opportunity to meet the eldest son, you might even see the crown prince! This has a long way to go in Changxing Houfu!

Chu Jinmiao thinks so, and the other girls are not fools. The courageous continued to peek at Lin Xiyuan secretly, with a gully heart, he already lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

Their standing posture has not changed, but the distance between the sisters has suddenly become estranged.

Mrs. Chu asked about the body of the old prince of the palace carefully. After Lin Xiyuan finished speaking, Mrs. Chu smiled and said: "The son came here today. It is really hard. Since the old man is here, we might as well stay a few more days. The two residences are in-laws, and the relationship could not have been more intimate. Your aunt, Ning brother, etc. are all there, so you can treat this as your own home and live in peace of mind. These are your cousins, you don’t need to have anything.

After Mrs. Chu said it, Lin Xiyuan turned her head and gave the girls a polite: "Hello, cousins."

Although he turned around, his eyes were vainly looking at the ground, and he did not look at the girl's face. The old lady became more satisfied after seeing it, and even Zhao and others were all smiles.

This is really a good man, with a good family background, good talents, and good character, there is really no choice.

The son spoke to them, and the girls all bowed their heads slightly, squatting over to the son in return: "Hello, cousin."

This cousin cousin is actually a bit far-fetched. But the old lady said so, and they all understood what the elders meant, so they followed it halfway and half on the spot. Chu Jinyao mixed in with the sisters, lowered his head, tried to reduce his sense of existence, and greeted Lin Xiyuan with a whisper.

There were a total of seven or eight girls in the three rooms present. These girls have different temperaments, some are free and some are not talkative, but at this moment, they are all gentle and weak, and their salutes are also the pinnacle of etiquette class. If Mother Hua is here, I don't know how emotional it will be after reading it.

Yan is shrewd, with a sharp mouth that speaks best. When she saw Lin Xiyuan, she felt that this big fish could not be let go. Seeing the current situation, she took the opportunity to step forward and smiled heartily: "It's all a family. , Cousins ​​don’t have to be so polite. It seems that this is the first time the son has come, don’t people still recognize it?"

Lin Xiyuan's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Yes. The second lady, I've introduced you to my cousins."

Old Madam Chu felt wrong when Yan Shi was speaking. Before she could stop her, she heard Lin Xiyuan actually smiled and agreed. Mrs. Chu was a little surprised. She and Madam Gu looked at each other, then sat back, intending to watch the changes.

When Yan saw that Lin Xiyuan responded, he became happier and introduced the girls enthusiastically. During the introduction, she did a little bit of verbal work, focusing on the girl in the second room, while the other room's girl was passed by with one sentence.

After hearing this, Zhao was so angry that he had liver pain, but in front of outsiders, it was very difficult to attack. When Yan pointed out in front of Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao, he shook his head and said: "These two are the fourth and fifth girls in our house. The elder son should be very familiar with the fifth girl. She just came from Pick it up outside."
