The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chu Jinyao was lost and was looking for Qin Yi for directions.　　 Grandma Zhang heard this, the look on her face was startled, and she hurriedly went to see the Zhao family. Zhao smiled and said, "Miaoer wants to eat, so you can do it. It doesn't take much effort anyway."

Mother Zhang sighed repeatedly in her heart, Zhao's still can't figure it out! Chu Jinmiao distracted her, maybe what she wanted to say, but the Zhao family just agreed, and the mother Zhang was angry and hated iron and steel.

How old is he, how come he doesn't even have this discernment ability?

After Mother Zhang left, Chu Jinmiao tickled her mouth, then sat down in front of the Zhao family and said, "Mother, I am not your biological daughter, but I have taken the name of the daughter of the daughter and let Chu Jinyao be here. I’ve been living outside for thirteen years. Do you hate me very much?"

"No!" Zhao's was taken aback, "Why do you remember to say such a thing?"

Chu Jinmiao lowered his eyes, eagerly weeping: "I also want to be filial to my mother, but others say that I dove in a magpie's nest, greedy glory, and the real daughter suffers outside. It's all my fault, mother. My daughter can't be filial to you in this life. In a few days, you will send me back to the country. When I have a good fetus in the next life, I will come to filial piety to you in a fair way, so as not to be scolded by others at the spine."

The Zhao family never expected to hear such words, she was stunned, and then furious: "Who told you this?"

Chu Jinmiao wiped his tears and did not speak. The more Zhao clan looked, the more he felt angry: "Is it a servant? The old lady's? Or Chu Jinyao?"

When it came to Chu Jinyao, Chu Jinmiao shouted: "No, no, don't ask."

"Unreasonable!" The Zhao family angrily patted the table, "I thought she was a good one, and she has not made any moths in the past few days. She did not expect that she would dare to say that to you in secret! Miao'er, don't worry. , Mother must be fair to you. Only if there is a mother, you can be a lady of the Hou Mansion with peace of mind, and don't worry about these or not."

"Mother." Chu Jinmiao went to pull Zhao's sleeve. "Grandma said it specifically to make you take care of Chu Jinyao. If you scold Chu Jinyao for me and pass it to her grandmother's ears, she wants I am dissatisfied with you."

The Zhao family relied on a rage to say what she had just said, and when Chu Jinmiao reminded her, she thought that the old lady was still there. Her mother-in-law was serious and powerful, and the Zhao family had always waited on her mother-in-law. If Mrs. Chu intervened, she really couldn't deal with Chu Jinyao at will. Zhao's anger and hatred were both angry and hateful. Unknowingly, she moved her anger towards her mother-in-law to Chu Jinyao. She gritted her teeth and said, "I need someone else to speak to me when I deal with my daughter?"

"That's how it is said, but who would let Chu Jinyao have an old lady guarding her? Even the elder sister talked to her everywhere. Our girls are weak, how can we compare with the celebrity in front of the old lady?"

"That said, she is so precious, no one can control her?"

Chu Jinmiao said, "Mother, don't be angry, the way is all people have come up with. She is protected by an old lady. Although you can't control her, it is still possible to find some parenting maids for her. She was originally She hadn’t received much instruction. She used to be poor before and suddenly came to the rich and noble township. If she is not well disciplined, she will definitely be blinded by money and lose her temper. Therefore, you have to find her a mother and take care of her everywhere. , Although she will definitely blame you, but you are doing it for her good! Even grandmother can understand."

"Sister Guan?" Zhao's frowned and repeated suspiciously.

"That's right. You assign her a stricter mother, guide her to supervise the money and the people, and to supervise her rules at ordinary times. This is really good for her! If you can't bear to indulge her, she Sooner or later, she will nurture her temper by giving what she wants. If a person is rotten from the root, it will be useless to spend more time in the future."

Zhao nodded: "What you said makes sense. She is my daughter after all. I can't watch her all the time and send someone over to discipline her for me. Although she will definitely blame me, as long as I know it in my heart. It's for her good, so I won't ask for these false names." After Zhao finished speaking, he looked at Chu Jinmiao gratifiedly: "She hated you, but you retaliated with virtue. It is really kind to think for her in this way. After all, it is the parents of poor people who are not open-minded enough. Suddenly seeing so much money, you will inevitably be blinded by your mind and secretly exclude you. Don't worry about her."

"I understand." Chu Jinmiao pursed his lips and smiled.

It was getting late, and Chu Jinmiao had to go back to the courtyard to rest. When she went out, she happened to meet Mother Zhao coming back with a plate of golden crispy fruits. Seeing Chu Jinmiao, Mother Zhao stopped: "The fourth girl is leaving now? The fruit has just been fried, do you want it?"

"I suddenly don't want to eat anymore. Mother can handle it by myself." Chu Jinmiao put his hand in his sleeve and said lightly.

It was Chu Jinmiao who said to eat golden crispy fruit at night, and asked Mother Zhang to fry it herself. When it was done, she said she didn't want to eat it again.

Mother Zhang didn't speak, she stood aside with a plate of fruit, and sent Chu Jinmiao out. Mother Zhang lowered her head. She felt the moment she was passing by. Chu Jinmiao raised her head and glanced at her very quickly and lightly. Although the glance was light and fleeting, it seemed to be immersed in ice water. The dark needle made people hurt.

...

In Aunt Huang's yard, the three girls were complaining in front of Chang Xinghou.

"Father, I know I'm a dull. Mother teaches things. The four girls can learn it all at once. I can only think about it after I come back. I have to practice holding the lamp every day. Father, you say I am so stupid, yes Isn't there no way?"

"How come." Changxing Hou often came to Aunt Huang's yard, and often saw the three girls. The number of meetings has increased, and Changxing Hou will inevitably feel more pity for this concubine. When Changxing Hou saw his daughter with a drooping face and a downcast look, he felt even more pity in his heart. He couldn't help lowering his voice and said, "The stupid bird flies first, and diligence can make up for the clumsy. You are willing to work hard. This is far better than your sisters. . If you stick to it like this, if you accumulate less, you will always pay off."

"Does it really happen?" The third girl gave a pleasant smile. She frowned and bit her lip in distress. "The fourth sisters can understand after listening to them in class, and they don’t need tuition after they come back. Ri always has to see the light in order to be equal to them. Does my father really blame me for being stupid?"

Aunt Huang listened and added in due course: "It's not just a hand-held lamp. Every time I go to see the third girl, it's almost dark. She is still practicing calligraphy and rules in the house."

"Still studying when it's dark?" Chang Xinghou was surprised. The girls of the Chu family were all pampered. The elders supervised the young master's homework very strictly, but it was easy under the girl's name. It is already extremely diligent to be willing to continue reading homework after school, and practicing alone until dark and holding the lamp, Changxing Hou dare not even think about it. After the surprise, Changxing Hou felt satisfied with the three girls: "Yes, you are so diligent, and you will be successful in the future."

Seeing the appreciation in Chang Xinghou's eyes, the three girls were very happy. She made her face smile with joy and shyness. She looked like she was overjoyed but slightly embarrassed after being appreciated by her father. She knew that Chang Xinghou liked this shy, frank and naive appearance the most. The third girl said: "It's good if my father doesn't dislike me. Even if I can't choose a companion, it's worth the reward for my father's sentence."

Changxing Hou also smiled and said: "You are so diligent, your grandmother will see it. For the county lord to choose a companion, smart is the second, and the most important is diligence. The county lord is smart enough, she is just impatient to study. It would be a good thing if there are people like you who are diligent."

After hearing this, the third girl and Aunt Huang looked at each other, and both saw joy in each other's eyes. Changxinghou, this is, do you like the three girls?

"Qize, Zize?" Chu Jinyao whispered, but Qin Yi didn't respond.

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.

This is easy to say. Chu Jinmiao reached a consensus with the three girls, six girls and others. The seven girls should not be afraid. Now they work together to squeeze one out. If the three of them fight for the two places under him, it will be better. Cheap outsiders. Chu Jinyao, who has the highest status and the best appearance, but has no foundation because he has just returned, is the best target.

Several girls joined hands to push out Chu Jinyao. They all knew Chu Jinyao's background, and it didn’t matter if she could do needlework and put on Anli. Chu Jinyao could not read or write. How could such a person be a companion? What? Mother Hua and Mother Deng came from the palace, and in a sense they were the eyes of the princess. As long as Chu Jinyao's impression of these two mothers was destroyed, the matter would have been half done.

So today, Chu Jinmiao must force Chu Jinyao to write under the eyes of everyone, so that she can completely sweep her face and have no chance to recover.

The other girls also enthusiastically helped. Mother Deng knew that she had praised Chu Jinyao yesterday, but now that she is not letting Chu Jinyao do anything, she may not be able to convince the crowd, so she smiled and looked at Chu Jinyao: "Five girls, you Just write a few words."

Chu Jinyao was completely solemn, stood up and gave a blessing to Mother Deng, and said, "Mother, let’s not tell you, I was hugged by mistake when I was born. By mistake, the four girls were hugged. When I returned to Hou Mansion, I stayed at the farmhouse and was just found back by my father at the end of the first month. I had no conditions since I was a child, and I have many shortcomings in pen, ink and needlework. Forgive me."

When Chu Jinmiao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Five girls are good at using this trick, but it’s not that I caused you to do so. You don’t want to rely on me for everything. Even if you have to sell poorly, but you have to know, both of you. The mother came here to choose a companion for the county head, not a storyteller. No matter how wronged you are, you can't think of trying to get through it, right?"

After listening to the Seventh Girl, she said, "Yes, just write if you ask you to write. What do you do with so much?"

Yesterday, the mother flower who taught the rules was also there. She only knew that the five girls had only returned to the house, and she never expected that there were many causes among them. She didn't like Chu Jinmiao for no reason. She occupied her identity and status. She could also say "It's not that I hurt you like this, you don't want to rely on me for everything." This kind of silly remarks shows that the xinxing is thin and cool. But Mother Hua still cherished this diligent and sensible Fifth Girl. Seeing this scene, she couldn't turn to Fifth Girl anymore. Mother Hua is a member of the Royal Palace, and she takes the best interests of the Royal Palace in her heart. Although the five girls have a rough life and are distressing, the matter of the county owner is more important. A girl who is illiterate and can't write can not give them to them. The host of the home and county should be accompanied.

Mother Hua was planning to speak for Chu Jinyao to relieve Chu Jinyao. Although her opening, although she resolved the embarrassment for Chu Jinyao, it also meant that she had admitted Chu Jinyao's ignorance and eliminated Chu Jinyao. Mother Hua reached her throat, but she heard Chu Jinyao say: "I just asked the mother to forgive my bad handwriting. Have you ever said that I can't?"
