The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chu Jinyao was lost and was looking for Qin Yi for directions. Qin Yi was quite satisfied with this "disciple" who was lucky enough to be urged by him. Although Chu Jinyao was clumsy, but suffered hardship, he changed it immediately after he said it. It was much better than the chirping women in the palace. . Qin Yi said: "Let's take a break when you are tired."

Chu Jinyao's forehead was about to sweat, but she still shook her head and said, "No, I just made the right move. If you rest, you will correct me one by one in a while. I'll keep this for a while and wait for me. Just remember it."

Qin Yi had to look at Chu Jinyao highly after hearing this. He didn't expect that she turned out to be suffering. Miss ordinary daughter, who is willing to embarrass herself like this?

After Chu Jinyao was sure that she remembered, she fell to the ground with a cry and hurriedly beat her calf: "So sour."

Qin Yi deliberately said don't sit on the ground, don't expose your legs out of your skirt, this is more serious than asking for an Li if you don't do it right. But he glanced at the corners of Chu Jinyao's whitish lips, and in the end he didn't say anything.

Chu Jinyao had rested and stood up and said, "Let's continue practicing."

"Okay." Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao's shaky figure, and said lightly, "I'll teach you how to sit. Now go to the stool and sit on your legs."

"Okay!" Chu Jinyao hurriedly sat on the round stool with a brocade cushion sewn on the stool. It was very comfortable to sit on, and her slightly trembling legs were much better. Chu Jinyao waited for a while, and couldn't help asking, "What then?"

Qin Yi wanted to sigh, looking at the price of her eyesight. He can only say: "When you are pleased, you should pay attention to everything except blessings. Different people say different things, that is, the same person has different greetings at different times."

Chu Jinyao nodded as he was taught, and Qin Yi continued: "You are a woman, and your etiquette is actually too easy. If you are an elder, it’s okay if you accidentally make a mistake, and you can just talk to the elders. Especially if you are still in Shanxi, except for the Chu family, there are not many other big names. There are only people who collide with you, there is no such thing as you collide with people, so you don't have to be so sincere and fearful. Under the elders, people of the same generation don't care, let them bow to you On the contrary, it's the next person, you have to pay attention."

Chu Jinyao vaguely felt that something was wrong, and she didn't care about what her peers meant, but she didn't dare to accept it if her peers saluted her. However, they kindly explained that Chu Jinyao did not interrupt ignorantly, but humbly asked: "Why should you pay attention to the next person?"

"The next one, Yu Ye. You can't do everything yourself. You can know people, use people, can deter everyone, and you can also pretend to be deaf. These are the most important things in the palace. Just like your mother today. In the room, the maid who draped you the curtain, she is willing to teach someone for you, it means that this person can be taken over. If not, intervene to teach someone else's maid, who will do such a thankless thing? And that? Grandma, she must be ashamed of you, and you can use her when appropriate."

Chu Jinyao was stunned: "You went out with me for a day today, and you understand so much?"

"I know people, which one day will take." Qin Yi reminded unhappily, "Listen carefully, don't interrupt."

"Oh." Chu Jinyao quickly sat down. She has a long experience, Qi Ze, a newly-developed jade pendant, is even better than her. Chu Jinyao can be regarded as amazed. Maybe, her jade pendant is very smart? Chu Jinyao asked: "You said you can use Mother Zhang, what... how do you say?"

"You know how to cry in front of me, why are you confused when you get here?" Qin Yi said coolly, "Go cry with her and be pitiful. She is an old maid in the inner house, and she is ashamed of you, so she moves casually. Doing it will make you much better. For example, dealing with the two maids in your house."

"You mean, camellia?"

Qin Yi smiled lightly: "You're not stupid, at least you can understand three points."

Chu Jinyao also pursed his lips, and it was not easy to get a compliment from Qi Ze. After Chu Jinyao laughed, he sighed: "I see a lot of people in the village who are sneaking and skidding. Camellia is not as good as our aunt next door will cover up. For example, if I didn't let Lixiang lock Yunjin, Camellia must Because I don’t know how to cut clothes for me, I can’t tell you how many things I have! But the cloves are honest, it’s okay to keep them.”

"Yeah." Qin Yi replied lowly, apparently agreeing with Chu Jinyao's opinion. He added another sentence afterwards: "You are a fan of money."

After speaking, Qin Yi himself was a little stunned. He was just joking with people? The subject is even a little girl?

"It's not my money fan. How much is a golden brocade! The eldest girl and the fourth girl laughed when they saw it. How many good things they used to make them blue, don't I have to look good?" Chu Jinyao didn't notice. The one who arrived at Qin Yi was wrong, smiled.

Qin Yi's heart was very complicated, but when he heard what Chu Jinyao said, he didn't care what happened to him today, instead he asked: "You like Yunjin very much?"

"Of course I like it, as brilliant as a cloud, who doesn't like it?"

Qin Yi gave a low "um" and didn't say a word, but he thought in his heart that after he went back, someone would send a batch to Chu Jinyao. Naturally, not in his name.

Chu Jinyao remembered the appearance of the cloud brocade, and said with a smile: "The cloud brocade has a good color and plain, so I can be generous in everything. I can only make a short jacket, and I can take it out to meet the guests on business. The rest is enough. I want to send it to my sister. She stuffed me two sets of clothes in front of everyone. I was afraid that it would be difficult for her to make at my husband’s house. Anyway, I don’t need clothes to wear. I will give them to her. When she has a nephew next year, Just to dress my nephew well."

Qin Yi was silent for a moment before asking, "You like that golden brocade so much, why do you want to send it out?"

"I went back to the Hou Mansion from the farmhouse at once. I don’t have to live the original poor life. There are still people waiting for me. I should be content. Although my father threw me in and didn’t care about it anymore, I would still be very grateful to him. If it weren’t for him, I How can there be today’s days? Father doesn’t lack anything. I don’t know how to repay him. I can only do it slowly later. But my sister, this can be done right away!"

Chu Jinyao thought of her relatives who had been together for 13 years, her eyes became nostalgic. Although the talents of the Chu family are her true relatives, for the past thirteen years, she has sincerely treated the Su family as her own. Chu Jinyao recalled the past and whispered: "My parents always didn't have a good face to me. I thought it was because I was a girl and my personality was not likable. Later I found out that they always knew that I was Who. They love their real daughter and transfer her to the Houfu to enjoy the blessing. I can understand their parents’ heart. It’s really hard to live in poverty. But I can’t forgive them. I want my daughter to enjoy the blessing. Normally, but they sacrificed me in this way! I was separated from my parents and sisters since I was a child. Even when I was found, I was as strange as a stranger. Who should apologize for my disturbed life? The Su family always brought me up. I miss their love. I won’t go back to the Su’s house as soon as I gain power, but I can’t continue to be filial and take what I want. I became Miss Houmen, who has everything for food and clothing, but I don’t want to drag my adoptive parents who are still suffering. A hand, do you say I am particularly selfish?"

Qin Yi listened quietly. The mistake that year disrupted the two families. Even if he returns now, the scars will not be eliminated for a while. Moreover, to put it bluntly, the most injured in this incident was Chu Jinyao. She was forced to leave Su's house and leave the familiar environment. After returning home, she had to adapt to the new environment with difficulty, enduring cold eyes and rejection. In this process, what did Su's father and Su's mother, including Chu Jinmiao, give?

"No." Qin Yi comforted people for an unprecedented time, softened his voice unfamiliarly, and said to Chu Jinyao, "You have done a good job. It is very good to have a clear grievance and goodwill."

Chu Jinyao wiped away the tears that quietly flowed down. She fell into the memory, thinking about it, with tears in her eyes, but a very faint smile appeared on her mouth: "Although Su father and Su mother are not good to me, Su Sheng She always bullies me, but there are always good people. Although my sister has long known that I am not a child of the Su family, she usually doesn’t have a nice word to me, but when it’s cold, she does laundry every time. When fetching water, she said she disliked my slow hands. In fact, I knew that she was distressed by the frostbite on my hands. When I was a child, my father was always drunk and had to hit someone. She pushed me outside and asked me to mow the grass. She and I have no relatives for no reason. I am really grateful to her." Chu Jinyao said with a sore nose, knowing that Qin Yi doesn't like people crying, she blinked her eyes and forced her tears back, "I am now Life has changed for the better, and there is nothing to help her, so she can only try to give her some money to keep her from washing clothes in the winter."

Qin Yi hasn't spoken for a long time, he seldom comforts girls, and he seldom hears complaints from others. In his world, there are the crimson and majestic palace walls, the respectful and shrewd palace people, the life of singing and dancing, and the women with good faces but like poisonous scorpions. He has also seen many women crying, but even if the women in the palace cry, they can cry with rain, just right. This is Qin Yi's first time, calmly and quietly, listening to a girl talking about the sufferings in the world.

Qin Yi always hates people crying the most, but this time Chu Jinyao shed tears, but he didn't dislike it anymore. After a while, he said, "Yunjin is too expensive. Even if you can deliver things to your sister, I'm afraid she won't be able to use it. Maybe it will cause trouble."

"I know too. But, I don't have any other money. This brocade is my only private property."

"These won't be a problem. Wipe your tears, don't think about it."

"How can I not think about it?" Chu Jinyao was about to be amused, "I don't think about it myself, is it possible that silver money will fall from the sky?"

Qin Yi suddenly asked: "If you meet a big man with a very high and noble status...well, a little bit higher than your father Chu Jing. Is he willing to help you?"

"He is willing to help me, can I take it for nothing?" Chu Jinyao lightly touched the jade pendant with his fingertips, and said, "You have just come into the world, and it is inevitable that you will want to rise to the sky one step at a time, but I tell you that this kind of thinking is not worthwhile. It’s not okay to rely on everyone to run and place hopes on others, even if that person is a big man. It seems that I have to look at you carefully, don’t let me not pay attention, you are deceived!"

"Only you?"

"Hey, why can't it be done by me? I dare not say anything else, I am more than enough to protect you."

Qin Yi laughed softly, and Chu Jinyao continued: "You have to listen to me in the future, otherwise, I will leave you alone."

Qin Yi found it ridiculous. After he laughed, he didn't bother to correct Chu Jinyao, but grabbed another point: "I didn't just come to life. I said you can speak?"

"I'm doing this for your own good." Chu Jinyao was afraid that Qin Yi might have a crooked idea of ​​taking shortcuts. She showed her supernatural powers in front of the big figures, but instead put herself in.

Qin Yi sneered: "Just you are still worried about me... Keep that piece of cloud brocade, you can keep it for yourself if you like it. You don't need to worry about the silver and your sister's affairs."

His big tone... Chu Jinyao thought it was funny, but she didn't want to touch his kindness, so she smiled and said, "Okay, then I will rely on you from now on."

Chu Jinyao just joked casually, and soon forgot after laughing, but Qin Yi did not refute it. Chu Jinyao didn't know what this joke meant.

Su Hui’s affairs would have no way for a while. Chu Jinyao had just returned home, and she couldn't stand still. How could she stretch her hand out of the house to pull her sister. I am afraid that her stuff will be divided up by the subordinates before it reaches the Hou Mansion. What's more, it will cause trouble for herself. Chu Jinyao understood this truth, Su Hui couldn't rush, and she couldn't rush to save money. She could only slowly learn the etiquette of a young lady under the guidance of Qin Yi.

In fact, the world's human relations are all interoperable. Chu Jinyao didn't know how to get started before, so he didn't know how to do it. But now, with Qin Yi talking on the sidelines, Chu Jinyao quickly got started. And these things of etiquette, the layman fumbles for a day, it is worse than the insider to mention a point. There are people like Qin Yi with extremely vicious eyes, and Chu Jinyao himself is willing to work hard, and after ten days, Chu Jinyao will be able to do well.

Even the girl in Zhao's room said that the fifth girl seemed to be reborn, and she suddenly regained her consciousness. Although the rules are not as good as the other girls, just looking at the posture, they already have it.

As for dressing and jewellery... Women are all natural plastic talents in this respect. It didn't take long for Chu Jinyao to treasure these snails, and Qin Yi also admired it very much.

After a difficult period of adaptation, Chu Jinyao walked on the winding corridors of Houmen again, and finally no longer felt vain in her heart. During this painful process, her mother didn't care about her, her father didn't see anyone at all, and her other relatives had nothing to do with her. It was Qin Yi who had actually known her for a few days.

Chu Jinyao used to think of getting close to her mother, but her mother was willing to not look at her directly. After Chu Jinyao passed through the difficult period of transformation, she did not have such a strong admiration for the Zhao family. .

Because the stage where she needed her mother the most has passed.

Chu Jinyao wears a short dark green jacket with a stand-up collar and a ruyi buckle on the placket. She wears a light green tangled flower horse dress underneath. She wears rabbit fur boots on her feet and walks slowly towards Yi'an Courtyard. go with. She looked ahead, her shoulders were straight, and her waist was straight. The interval between each step was basically the same, steady and light. After entering the courtyard gate, the lady-sweeping woman in the courtyard stopped and said hello to Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao stopped slightly and nodded at the lady-maid.

According to Qin Yi's statement, Chu Jinyao closed slightly when he laughed, and didn't move too much. However, her eyes are round and black, and her face has become fat these days. The original sharp face has become an oval face. When she smiles, her eyes seem to have stars, and the dimples on the side of her face are also looming, which is sweet to the heart.

When the old woman saw Chu Jinyao, she also beamed with joy, and the folds on her face were almost squeezed out. Although the fifth girl is pitiful, she loves to laugh, and is easier to get close to than the fourth girl. The hobbies of old people are different from those of men. They always like Chu Jinyao's oval face, tall and smiling girl.

After greeted the people in the yard, the door curtain was also opened, and Qiuye showed half of her body and smiled: "When I heard the laughter from afar, I knew it was the fifth girl. Come in, girl!"

Chu Jinyao kept smiling, and walked into the house without rushing through the chute veranda. When entering the door, she turned sideways slightly, avoiding the curtain, but soon she stood up straight again. In the process, Chu Jinyao's slender neck was kept upright, and she did not make any gestures such as hunchback.

When Qiuye saw this scene, she secretly sighed. When the five girls first came, she was a little trembling. Although there is excuse for it, she looks like a small family after all. But looking at it now, where can we see the original appearance? Even the concubine of Dafang couldn't make the smiling, upright and calm posture of the fifth girl.

How energetic you look like this, this is a lady!

Since Chu Jinyao had Qin Yi and she was raised, she stopped coming early in the morning to greet her. I work hard, but others don’t think about your goodness, so why bother? Like Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinxian, she counted the arrival of the time every day, neither rushing Zhao to get up too early, nor did she have to wait too long after arriving.

However, today, Chu Jinyao was surprised when he entered the house, is his father also there?

Seeing Hou Changxing, Qin Yi said in his heart. He had forgotten that on the fifteenth day of the new year, men would stay overnight in the main room. Chu Jinyao came back in the second half of the first month of the first month. On the first day of February, Chu Jing didn’t know what he was doing and did not stay in Zhao’s house. It took almost a month for Chu Jinyao to see this rule. Decent".

Qin Yi secretly calculated that Chu Jinyao had been home for almost a month, and he had been in a coma for almost a month.

For a month, even if Qin Yi never said it, he would inevitably be a little anxious. If he doesn't wake up for a month, even if he is surrounded by cronies, I am afraid it is not easy to cover up.

He has to find a way.

Kikyo lowered his head and ran in. 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 point her to 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."
