The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chu Jinyao was lost and was looking for Qin Yi for directions.　　 As soon as Chu Jinyao entered the door, everyone's eyes immediately gathered.

Chu Jinyao was taken aback, what's wrong? Why do everyone dress like this? Could there be guests coming today?

Yesterday Chu Zhu returned to the house. Chu Jinyao wore new clothes to meet the guests. She and Chu Jinxian were in the warm house of Mrs. Chu to do needlework. Then the Seventh girl came, and when she went out, the Seventh girl was not careful. He bumped a cup of tea on Chu Jinyao.

It's really careless enough.

Chu Jinyao had to change her clothes even if she had a thousand words to talk about. When she came back, she was already late. Therefore, most people didn't see Chu Jinyao's newly cut skirt yesterday. Today, she put on the clean skirt, and the people in the hall saw it, and their eyes flashed with surprise and surprise.

Chu Jinyao has been doing farm work since she was a child, and has a lot more exercise than these daughters who don't get out of the gate. She is in good health and taller. She wore a cross-collared, right-collared, wide-sleeved jacket, and the cuffs were embroidered with large pink hibiscus flowers. Underneath she was wearing a white background and purple tufted cloud brocade horse dress. On the pleats on both sides of the skirt, purple silk was sewn with lace. The upper end is close to the skirt folds, the lower end is a crisp, naturally falling ribbon, and the lower end is also decorated with tassels. The ribbon is a little darker than the purple of the skirt pattern, one piece pressed against one piece, and the tassels sway lightly when walking, like a peacock on the screen. Chu Jinyao is tall, wearing a short jacket and a horse-faced skirt, and his waist becomes more slender and slim.

Old Madam Chu saw Chu Jinyao's dress, took a look at it carefully, and said nothing. The old lady thought, although the five girls are the best, but the rules are far inferior to the girls who grew up in the Houfu, which is a pity. But after Chu Zhu looked at it, she couldn't help asking: "Which embroidery workshop made this dress...?"

Chu Jinyao said: "It was cut by the maid." Chu Jinyao thought a lot and didn't say it was herself. If not, what should she do if she has to be cross-examined, and someone will show her the door in the future?

When Chu Zhu heard that the maid did it, she nodded and said, "My sister-in-law has arranged a few handy maids for you." This skirt is really beautiful.

Chu Jinmiao was still beautiful just now, overwhelming all the sisters, but when Chu Jinyao came in, everyone's eyes were attracted away. In terms of preciousness, Chu Jinyao's dress is naturally far less than Chu Jinmiao, but the clothes that can't stand others are cut well and have new ideas.

Chu Jinmiao was really stunned to death.

Especially after Lin Xining and Chu Jinyao came in, Chu Jinmiao was sure that Lin Xining's eyes lighted up. Chu Jinmiao bit her handkerchief bitterly. Sure enough, men are all virtuous. Regardless of what they say, they just like good colors!

Chu Jinmiao and Lin Xining are cousins ​​when they were young, and Chu Zhu also liked Chu Jinmiao very much. When they were young, Chu Zhu laughed and joked with Zhao, saying that Chu Jinmiao and Lin Xining had a good time, so it’s better to do it later. To the happy enemy. The Zhao clan smiled at the time, but he remembered it in his heart. When there was no one, the Zhao clan even asked Chu Jinmiao secretly.

At that time, Chu Jinmiao couldn't tell why. She was naturally different to Lin Xining, but if she said how much she liked it, even if she didn't marry, she wouldn't be guilty of it. In this way, Chu Jinmiao and Lin Xining got along as close cousins, planning to let the flow go and watch the changes in the future, Zhao's thoughts were the same. But now seeing Lin Xining turn his head to look at Chu Jinyao, Chu Jinmiao suddenly burst into a strong discomfort. Even if she didn't like Lin Xining, Lin Xining shouldn't see other women in front of her. At the moment, Chu Jinmiao is more and more sure to win a companion.

Her identity in the Changxing Hou's Mansion is too embarrassing. Although the Zhao clan still spoils her as always, what will happen in the future? Changxing Hou was more and more plain to her, and the old lady was aloof and didn't care much about her granddaughter. The next person gradually dared to relax her instructions because she was not the decent master of the Hou Mansion. Chu Jinmiao has been at the forefront for thirteen years, so he can swallow this breath. But if she changed the palace, it would be completely different, maybe she could still have great luck.

Seeing that everyone was there, Mrs. Chu cleared her throat softly, and the lively Rongning Hall immediately calmed down.

Today, the girls wear brightly in the same clothes. Of course, there is a reason why Chu Zhu is there, but the root of it lies in the old lady.

Yesterday, the old lady learned that the palace was going to choose a companion for the county head, so she wanted to make her granddaughters dress up and don't lose her face. Although the old lady didn't say it clearly, there were different ways in the back house, and the news soon spread from Rongning Hall to Dafang, No. 2 and No. 3 bedrooms. Yan heard something to tell the girls to tidy up and be more attentive. Although she didn't understand why, she deliberately gave her two daughters a good dress. When he arrived at Rongning Hall, Yan clan secretly said in his heart. Sure enough, every one of them had come prepared.

Among all the people present, I am afraid that only Chu Jinyao went out without knowing it. She lives far away, has no news, and doesn't have her mother to mention it like other girls, so she doesn't know anything. She saw the sisters' clothes today and found it very strange. She was deliberately tricked by the Seven Girls yesterday, so she dragged the big clothes to wear until today. But why do other people want to do this?

Now that the old lady cleared her throat, she saw that there was an important announcement. Chu Jinyao knew what he might have missed again. As for what he had missed, he would know soon. She gathered her mind and listened carefully to what the old lady said next.

Mrs. Chu slowly said: "Your aunt came back from the palace of Huailing County all the way back, one is to visit relatives, and the other is a big thing to do. This thing is related to the future of many people, and even has something to do with it. The respect of the Changxing Hou Mansion, now, this major event is about to fall on you."

Chu Jinyao was very puzzled, since it was a major event related to the Hou Mansion, why did it fall on them? Chu Zhu sat next to the old lady. When she heard this, she smiled and said: "It was also the mother-in-law and the princess who trusted me so that they handed this matter to me. The county lord of the palace is twelve years old this year. When I was in school, the county owner was too boring to go to school alone, and there were few girls in the mansion, and no one was able to talk to the county owner. Our Changxing Hou Mansion is one of the best decent people in Taiyuan, and the girls are well-mannered. The palace is still relatives in-laws and knows everything. Therefore, the princess meant to pick two girls from our house and read them to the county lord as a companion."

Chu Zhu's voice fell behind, she looked down triumphantly, and as expected, the girl and several sister-in-laws were all surprised. I live at home and go back and forth every day. I see these few people. But when I go to the prefectural palace, the people I meet are completely different. Moreover, the prefectural palace is not far away from the Changxing Hou’s palace. The communication is very convenient, so I won’t just go out. See you again. The ladies thought about it again, and they all felt that this was a great thing and worth fighting for.

This is the most important part that Chu Zhu has concealed. If the wives know that the county magistrate is studying to prepare for the election of the princess, they may be crazy. Obviously there will not be only one concubine in the East Palace. After the county lord becomes the prince, what about Liangdi and Liangyuan? The county princes and princesses chose to read as the county head, and most of them also considered these. Women in the East Palace are indispensable, and the county owner is not a virtuous person. Instead of being counted by women from other families, it is better to arrange a few familiar ones at the beginning, and they will unite, at least have a companion in the future.

Of course, this is just the wishful thinking of the prefectural mansion, and now whether it can be chosen or not. It's just that the people in the Royal Mansion of Huailing County are all ready to run for the election, but they are dismissive of another possibility.

The ladies' eyes were bright, and the girls turned their heads, whispering to the close maids. Old Madam Chu looked at the audience, coughed, and said, "It's all quiet."

The girls suddenly stopped talking and looked up at the old lady.

Mrs. Chu took over Chu Zhu's words and continued to play a black face: "Although the princess said that she wanted to choose two girls from our family, she was not accurate yet. There are so many people in Taiyuan. If there are suitable girls in other families, the princess will definitely do it. Leave us alone. In the next few days, when the Huailing County Prince's Mansion holds a banquet, the princess will choose the most suitable two from the many ladies, so you must not be complacent and slacken. The county lord is twelve years old, since he is a companion. It was to accompany the county owner to study, and the age difference is too big, so the eldest girl and the eighth girl do not have to participate."

The eldest girl Chu Jinxian stood up and saluted the old lady to show her obedience. She is seventeen and she is still the eldest daughter of the family. She has a noble status. Even if she is of the right age, the old lady will not let Chu Jinxian go to study with someone else's family. If you are not a princess, how can you work with the eldest daughter? As for the eight girls, Chu Jinzi, she is only six years old this year, which is of course impossible. Therefore, the suitable people are concentrated in the fifteenth to twelve group of people, and among them, the twelve-three people like Chu Jinyao are the best.

Old Madam Chu paused, and said, "I found two mothers for you to come back. From now on, you can no longer be as loose as you were before. You must follow the mothers to learn the rules every day, and don't lose the face of our Changxing Hou Mansion. . Do you understand?"

The girls all stood up, bowed their heads and answered with solemn eyes: "My child understands."

The old lady then asked the two mothers to come out to meet the girls. After a group of people met each other, the mother took the girls away and went to teach the rules in a courtyard behind Rongning Hall.

The two mothers, one surnamed Hua, and the other Xing Deng, were both extremely strict people. Mother Hua taught the rules of sitting and lying, and Mother Deng taught calligraphy, calligraphy and other talents. Mother Hua and the other girls said: "The girls just listened to me. Mrs. Chu asked us to teach the girls how to behave. They all said that there is no rule to make a circle, and the saint also preached that the teacher is lazy. We are strict with the girls. For your good girls, please forgive me."

"Don't dare." Chu Jinyao mixed among the sisters and said softly.
