The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

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

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 stretched out his hand and pulled her over: "Hurry up, I can't leave Yupei for too long. You can't practice writing without teaching it by hand."

Chu Jinyao's wrist was held, and she had only time to see the other's slender fingers. Qin Yi is still in a spirited state, the 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 military are so powerful. Chu Jinyao was thinking in a daze. Suddenly, her forehead was bounced. Although it was not 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. If she doesn't care, she will be caught by Chu Jinmiao's pigtail. 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 out the transfer, and in some places Chu Jinyao did not do well, and Qin Yi was impatient, so he directly reached out and held the pen 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.

It's over, he is angry with her! Chu Jinyao was really miserable in her heart. She called out a few more times, and saw that Qin Yi hadn't moved yet, and Dingxiang and Camellia were about to come in, so she could only press down without mentioning it.

After washing, Chu Jinyao changed into a light red stand-up collar jacket, a **** yellow seven-piece horse-faced skirt underneath, and a big red cloak, and hurried to Rongning Hall.

She greeted the old lady, and the old lady nodded indifferently. Chu Jinxian also sat next to Mrs. Chu, and saw that she was her, and said, "You have to learn the rules with the mother these days. This is the most important thing. Be more diligent. Although the mother hasn't come yet, but Don't be lazy, go and review the brushwork later."

After Chu Jinyao listened, she bowed down and bowed to Chu Jinxian: "Eldest Sister Xie." After speaking, she hurried to the next class.

Chu Jinxian reminded her to review the brush and ink early... Chu Jinyao felt a headache when she heard it.

Chu Jinyao had lived in a poor family for the first 13 years, and food and clothing was a problem. What about embroidery and writing skills that can only be played by rich people? However, the room leak happened in the evening rain. Today, the other girls seemed to have made an appointment. Not long after sitting down, the second wife and the seventh girl said: "Mother, the fifth girl learned the best rules yesterday, and we sisters are beyond the reach. I just don’t know how her female celebrities and Qinqi calligraphy and painting are, the fifth sister might as well make a few random strokes, so that we can open our eyes!"

Before Chu Jinyao spoke, Chu Jinmiao continued, "Yes, yesterday, the mother specially praised the fifth girl. I want to come, the fifth girl is hidden, and there are so many abilities that surprise us. The fifth girl should not be humble. what!"

Several other girls also helped. After seeing the mother, she also said: "In this case, the fifth girl can write a few words."

Seven girls showed a successful smile, and Chu Jinmiao lowered his head and smiled softly. Nowadays, literacy is the privilege of a few people. For generations, farmers face the loess with their backs to the sky, but they can speak blindly, unable to recognize a word. Even many vendors in the city are still illiterate, and even fewer women in the backyard are literate. Chu Jinyao used to do farm work at home. The daughter of this kind of family still writes. Whether or not she can read is a problem, right?

This is the consensus of the girls. The eldest girl is respected, and she will be out of the cabinet soon, and she did not participate in this selection. The second girl is a concubine in the second room. She is fifteen years old this year. She is too old. It's out. The third girl is Chu Jinchan, the concubine of Changxing Hou, who is 14 years old, just right, but she is a concubine, and her identity is a bit worse than that of the concubine sisters.

The fourth girl is Chu Jinmiao. She is very talented. She was raised by the Zhao family with a pile of money since she was a child. If she didn't have a mistake, her companionship would have been in her bag. However, it is just such a coincidence, Chu Jin Miao is actually the daughter of the farmer Su's family, not the young lady of the Changxing Hou Mansion. If she were not for the compassionate elders, she could no longer live in the Changxing Hou Mansion. After all, it is to choose a playmate for the county head. The daughter of the Hou Men is the best, and the daughter of the lesser official is also normal, but it is too much to choose a farmer's daughter!

Because of this level, Chu Jinmiao's competitiveness is greatly reduced.

The next girl of school age is Chu Jinyao, the fifth girl. Although Chu Jinyao is a prostitute, she has not been raised in the Hou Mansion for the first 13 years. Maybe the princess and prince would be picky about this. After that, the sixth girl was the granddaughter of the third elder. The sixth girl’s talent, status, and age were appropriate, but her father was born to an aunt. When the old elder was alive, she was confused and loved the third elder’s biological mother, Yang. The clan was so arrogant and dared to show his arrogance to the main room. Old Madam Chu had been holding it up, and when the old Houye passed away, she immediately sold the Yang clan. After that, she seldom had a good face to Sanfang. Although the sixth girl is suitable in all aspects, she is a concubine. I am afraid that Mrs. Chu will not be able to pass this test.

Under the sixth girl is the seventh girl, and the seventh girl is the second wife of Yan's prostitute. She has an arrogant personality. This kind of person goes to study with the county owner... Both the sixth girl and Chu Jinmiao think, I'm afraid, mysterious.

Seven girls were twelve years old, and they were a little younger, and eight girls, only six years old, were obviously out of the game. So speaking, the competitive ones are the third daughter of Dafang concubine, Chu Jinmiao, Chu Jinyao, and the sixth daughter of the concubine. Seven girls have been secretly crossed by many people. Each of the four of them has their own strengths, but they also have some small flaws. This offsets them, but they are evenly matched. No one wins and no one loses.
