The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chu Jinyao was lost and was looking for Qin Yi for directions.　　 After Qin Yi was sent to the border of Datong, the Taifu Pavilion elders were worried, but he himself felt that it was not good to see. He's really fed up with that pair of dog men and women.

The frontiers were very difficult, and the guards could not be relaxed for a moment. Qin Yi also took people out of the border several times to pursue the Tatar cavalry. In the first month of the first month, the Tatar group of grandsons harassed the people and ran away. He led people to chase for five hundred miles. When he surrounded the group of Tatar cavalry and planned to cut the grass and remove the roots, he didn't pay attention and had some accidents. .

Qin Yi felt that his injury at the time should be quite serious. He is not afraid of being helpless in the follow-up, Datong General Soldier is not so brave yet, what he fears is that the news of his unconsciousness will be passed back to the Imperial City.

The queen may be thinking about this day in her dreams. When she was able to hook up with her brother-in-law when her sister was seriously ill, Qin Yi knew that she should not have any illusions about this couple.

After Chu Jinyao finished educating her jade pendant, the other party seemed to have heard it, and then she said, "You have helped me a lot, and now I will help you. Don't worry, leave your business to me, nothing will happen. . I guess the key lies in this kind of jade. I once heard Su’s mother talk about the Taoist gods, and put the jade pendant next to me, and then sang some poems and left. Waiting for parents to chase after them. Outside, I can only see the vast expanse of snow. I guess this jade has some magical powers, or should we look for it again? Maybe, there are people selling this jade in other places, no matter how much it is, we buy it back. Try if you can change your place."

It sounded decent. Qin Yi didn't think Chu Jinyao could help him, but when she heard her plan for herself in this way, Qin Yi couldn't say anything to refuse. Qin Yi had no choice but to say perfunctorily: "Okay."

But he thought in his heart that he wanted to find a way to contact his confidants in the East Palace and let them find this kind of soul-raising jade for him.

Chu Jinyao racked his brains and thought, where are there a lot of jade? Or find someone who has seen the world before and ask him about this kind of jade. At the beginning, the Taoist priest gave her a piece. According to reason, the jade is always in pairs. Isn't this the only thing?

As for how to buy after finding it... Chu Jinyao refuses to think about this question, there will always be a way.

Chu Jinyao sighed silently. Qin Yi listened and asked, "What's the matter? He also sighed."

"I'm worrying about my livelihood in the future."

Qin Yi laughed, Chu Jinyao glared at him, and said solemnly: "Don't laugh. I'm thinking about things seriously. I want to help my sister and buy jade for you. I have to plan for the future, in the high gate compound. The cost is not small. It is said that money can make ghosts persevere, and some people say that poor couples are sad. I know how hard it is to have no money. I still have a long way to go. I can’t always count on the two-month reconciliation. That thirty taels of silver. I have to find a way to find a profit-making income for myself. As for the rest of the Su family... I can’t do a bite bite, nor can I do no resentment or resentment like a saint. From then on, We will not disturb each other, we will never see each other again."

"Then what do you want to do?" Qin Yi asked with interest.

"I don't know either. It is said that giving mermaid meat is worse than teaching people to network. I can give my sister money once, but it is impossible to give money for a lifetime. It is better to find a work for her and let their family go to Zhang Luo by themselves. , If I had a shop, it would be fine, and I would kill two birds with one stone. However, I heard that only when married, the elders will give the girl shop as a dowry. I can’t marry right away, right? Hey, why are you laughing?"

Qin Yi stopped laughing and deliberately said: "You want to marry now, is it too early?"

Every man likes to tease girls, even if Qin Yigui is the prince, he can't get rid of this bad root. Chu Jinyao was said to be annoyed. He picked up the jade pendant and was about to fall. Qin Yi said quickly, "It's all right, I won't make you any more. I think you are suitable for the silk and satin Zhuangzi."

His voice was still smiling, obviously forcibly holding back his laugh. But when he said this sentence, it made people feel solemn inexplicably, and people couldn't help but want to believe him. As if whatever he said, it would come true.

Chu Jinyao involuntarily trusted Qin Yi in this way. After Qin Yi said, Chu Jinyao felt that it was true. She is familiar with clothes craftsmanship, and she didn't have the chance, but now she can get in touch with all kinds of precious silk and satin materials. After having a silk and satin Zhuangzi, it must be very prosperous to cut people into clothes. And this way, my sister can also go to the shop, which is to help her and make money... Chu Jinyao suddenly felt wrong, she looked at Yupei helplessly: "I've been led by you, what makes me suitable for the silk and satin Zhuangzi? I think I'm suitable for managing the bank! Someone has to let me manage it."

Qin Yi was amused again, Chu Jinyao wondered why this person was like this, she talked heartily, but he kept laughing. After finally waiting for Qin Yi to laugh enough, his voice was filled with a pleasant smile, his voice was casual, but his words were calm: "There will be."

She liked to hear these words, and Chu Jinyao chuckled and laughed: "Okay, let's borrow your good words. When such a fool appears, I will definitely give you a golden silk Luozi."

"Presumptuous!" Although Qin Yi said so, he couldn't hide the smile in his voice.

The sunlight poured into the house from the window panes, reflecting Nishijima a golden shade. Chu Jinyao was sitting in the warm sunshine, laughing while skillfully stitching laces on her clothes. On the small table beside her, there was a piece of jade pendant with white background floating on her back.

.

A few days later, when Chu Jinyao was asking Mrs. Chu for peace, she heard Mrs. Chu say: "Pearl wrote to say that her mother-in-law knew she was coming back, and she was compassionate and gave her a long vacation. Huailing The county palace is only one day away from Taiyuan. She walks faster and should be able to arrive the next night."

The girls were shocked when they heard this: "Auntie is coming so soon?" Ten days sooner than originally said, their clothes are not ready yet!

"Yes." Old Madam Chu nodded, "Your aunt is coming back. If you have anything you want to prepare for your aunt, go back and work on it now. I will leave you alone. If there is anything lacking, just come and tell the old Gu's family. Great."

Madam Gu is the partner of Mrs. Chu, and she is deeply trusted, and even the Zhao family has to give Madam Gu decently. The girls responded one by one, and then hurriedly went back to pack up the big clothes for the visitors.

The daily affairs of the ladies are just a little bit back and forth, and the aunt's return is already a major event. Sure enough, as Chu Zhu said, her carriage stopped outside the second gate on the evening of the third day.

Chu Zhu was Mrs. Chu's only prostitute, she was like a pearl in her boudoir, and she married very well after she came out of the cabinet. Her husband's family is the palace of Huailing County, a king with a different surname that Dayan can count. Although the Huailing Royal Mansion is not a serious royal family yet, the Royal Mansion is, after all, the Royal Mansion. Even though they are the noble families in Taiyuan, they are still the people. Those who meet the Royal Mansion must be sincere and fearful and welcome them respectfully.

Chu Zhu sat in the Rongning Hall of Mrs. Chu. The laughter could be heard from far away. Zhao and several daughters-in-law stood on the ground, joking and laughing with the old lady and grandmother. The aunt is different from the daughter-in-law. The girl who has not been out of the cabinet is a pamper, and the aunt who is out of the cabinet returns to her natal home. That is a distinguished guest. She wants to be entertained, but the daughter-in-law is different. The daughter-in-law has to serve her in-laws and raise her daughter. The stars were sitting on the ground, and the Zhao family members were about to stand aside and make rules.

Old Madam Chu asked her daughter: "Why did you come back so soon? Your mother-in-law didn't say about you? You can come back anytime, but don't let your mother-in-law have opinions on you."

"I understand, my mother-in-law sent me back this time." Chu Zhu said, and looked back at Zhao and others. "The complexions of the sisters-in-laws are getting better."

Zhao smiled and said, "Isn't it comparable to grandma and aunt? You are in good shape and your face is transparent. People who don't know think you are our girl!"

Everyone laughed, Chu Zhu laughed especially happily. Women like to be praised for being young and beautiful. Zhao gave birth to only one son and was weak since she was a child. She has always been very careful in front of her mother-in-law. Now that she is still in front of her mother-in-law, it's not about making my sister-in-law happy.

Chu Zhu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is really good at talking. I'm almost an old woman. How can I compare with the young girls at home?"

The second wife, Yan, answered: "As grandma said, Brother Ning has reached the age of marrying a wife. Aren't you going to be called grandma!"

Whoops, what this said made Chu Zhu cry from ear to ear. She has always been proud of marrying high. With so many famous officials in Shanxi, she is the only one who marries into the palace, and her son is her greatest pride. Mrs. Chu also cherished her only grandson very much. She asked, "What about Ning, why didn't he come in?"

Outside Rongning Hall, Chu Jinyao went around in a cluster of courtyards. She lowered her voice and asked Qin Yi: "How on earth do you get out?"

Just now, Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian were in the old lady's room, talking to their ancestors, when suddenly they sent a letter saying that the grandmother was coming soon. She quickly got up, ready to meet her aunt. In a hurry, Seven Girls turned a cup of tea on Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao had no choice but to come back and change her clothes quickly.

The old lady's face had been killed for several days, but she was late on the day Chu Zhu came back, and Chu Jinyao didn't dare to think about the next thing. After changing her clothes, she hurried to Rongning Hall. In order to take a short cut, instead of taking the road she was accustomed to, she planned to cross the yard and take a shortcut. But this time, something went wrong.

Chu Jinyao was lost.

Following Chu Jinyao was the rose, a newly bought girl who didn't know the way here. This area was a vacant yard, and Hessen looked the same everywhere. The two of them had been around for a long time, becoming more and more confused as they walked around.

Chu Jinyao took advantage of the rose not to pay attention, and hurriedly whispered to Qin Yi for help.

"Go out from the corner gate of this small courtyard, walk north along the road, and turn west when you reach the corner... In fact, you can go one more corner and then turn west. Go up the steps into the courtyard, and after crossing, walk two more south. Step, you can merge to the road you often walk on."

Chu Jinyao was taken aback for a moment: "Huh?"

"You didn't remember?" Qin Yi was surprised and could only say again, "Go north first..."

"Where is North?"

Qin Yi was speechless when asked: "You don't even know North?"

"I know. But all around are the same houses and yards, how can I tell them?"

"I don't think you know." Qin Yi was so angry that he couldn't find North after changing a place. Could this be called knowing the direction? He had no choice but to say: "Seeing that the corner door is not, yes, it's behind the penthouse. After going out, go straight along the road..."

Under Qin Yi's intermittent guidance, Chu Jinyao slowly groped in this building. She had to spread the rose for a short distance, and then secretly talked to Qin Yi. Chu Jinyao herself felt like she was a thief. same.

"How do you go next?" Chu Jinyao asked Qin Yi secretly while others were not paying attention.

"What are you doing?" A voice suddenly rang behind her, and Chu Jinyao was taken aback, and released her jade pendant in surprise.

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.”
