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 can she be so close to him?

Seeing that Chu Jinyao hadn't moved, Qin Yi reached out and pulled her over: "Hurry up, I can't leave Yupei for too long. If you don't write by hand, you won't be able to practice."

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, and the fingers are still translucent, but even so, it will not 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 martial arts are so powerful. Chu Jinyao was thinking in a daze, when her forehead was suddenly 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.

"Elders, I always like to be well-behaved and diligent. What's more, when dealing with men, showing weakness, and pretending to be a naive and innocent temperament. It is enough to have an aunt to help me plan, this is the position of companion. "I must get my hands." The third girl said, "Reading to the county host’s companion is a trivial matter. When it comes to the palace, it’s most important to get along with the son. Then I will work harder and put some effort on the son. Uncertain, I will spend the second half of my life in the palace."

The third girl smiled as she thought about it. She was very confident in her way of winning over men. She dared to say that as long as she can go to the palace smoothly, she will be able to have a good impression of her afterwards, and then stay in the palace and be able to live in the world. The concubine is the best, even if you can't be a concubine, the concubine is better than ordinary people. Zhao hates her auntie so much, and her marriage falls into Zhao's hands. What can she do? She might as well fight for it herself.

The maid said: "What the girl said. The girl is so smart, she will be able to get her wish in the future."

"Of course." The third girl was complacent. In the back house, as long as the man is right, it is equivalent to getting everything. What if the old lady in the house doesn't like it? Mrs. Chu still doesn't really like her aunt's style of smoky and flattering, but who makes Changxinghou like it? The aunt is not yet graceful and decent living in the back house, except for the name of a lady in the house, everything else is not bad. It is such a powerful person as Mrs. Chu, when he was young, he was very angry with the concubine's house. The living environment of the three girls taught her practically that it is better to try hard to cling to a stronger man than sticking to the name of the main room and concubine room. After the big deal, he will win over the man and compete with the main room for favor. The three girls are very confident in their methods of fighting for favor.

The maid asked: "Girl, do we still use the palm lamp to read tonight?"

"Who is impatient to see which." The third girl was disgusted. "It is enough to put a lamp in the Toji room, spread the book, and put on the illusion that I am reading. By the way, remember tomorrow, if you want to reveal it to your father inadvertently, I read the book until very late again."

"Yes."

In the house with three bedrooms and six girls, the maid came in to add water to the six girls.

"Girl, it's so late, are you still watching?"

"I want to choose a partner to read, and always behave in a diligent manner." Six girls put down the pen. She had just written a page of large characters, and her wrist was a little lacking. She felt that it was almost done, so she said, "I'll be here for today. I'm tired, so take a break."

"The girl is running out of hands?" The maid hurried over and knelt on the ground to rub her wrists for the sixth girl. The maid said: "Girl, you are too diligent, but after all, your body is important. You can rest for a while when you are tired. You won't be late tomorrow."

"Yeah." Six girls replied in a low voice, she leaned back a little sleepily, put her hands in the hands of the maid, and let the maid come to massage. Six girls closed her eyes, thinking about today's things in her mind.

Today they joined forces to plot Chu Jinyao, and Chu Jinyao's subsequent counterattack surprised her.

The sixth girl is the only prostitute in the third room. The third master was born to Aunt Yang. The old man loved Aunt Yang especially when he was alive, and even the third master was also valued. When the three rooms were the most beautiful, the cost of food and clothing was better than that of the aunt. The eldest son is good, even Mrs. Chu has to avoid the three-room edge. It's a pity that the old man died, and it was Dafang who inherited the majesty. Old Lady Chu turned over immediately, and then began to suppress Aunt Yang and Sanfang.

At that time, Lord Hou loved the third master very much, and even had the idea of ​​passing the position of the Hou to the third room. However, the aunt is still alive, and there are two elder brothers on it. Mrs. Chu's family is not a vegetarian. Under the pressure of etiquette, relying on the strength of the old man alone, it is really impossible to compete with the entire patriarchal society. In the end, the Hou position was left to the eldest son Chu Jing, and Mrs. Chu finally came and looked forward to the opportunity to turn over for ten years.

As soon as Mrs. Chu took power, she immediately sold Aunt Yang, and in front of everyone, she berated Sanfang for having no rules, and the cost of food and clothing exceeded the etiquette. Sanfang made a big mess, and since then, food, clothing, shelter and transportation have plummeted. It turns out that the gold and silver savings that the old man has given him can't be kept.

Until now, Sanfang had to be a man with his tail sandwiched between them. The third master and the third wife did not even dare to fart in front of their aunt. The family knows that the old lady doesn't like three bedrooms, and the subordinates in the house are very snobbery. Many people see that they are not taken seriously, and they dare to deduct the cost of the three bedrooms. The old lady always had no room for sand in her eyes, but she closed one eye to this matter and completely acquiesced.

Six girls unknowingly put on a sarcastic smile, saying that Mrs. Chu has no blood relationship with their three rooms, how can you count on Mrs. Chu's kindness? After all, people are selfish and hypocritical.

Sanfang is walking on thin ice outside, but inside is harmonious, as if external pressure is increasingly bringing them together. The third master and the third wife are in harmony, with one son and one daughter. The third master has only a few common rooms and no concubine rooms. Compared with the complicated backyard of Changxinghou, the second master and the third master are much better.

The sixth girl is the only daughter of the third master and the third wife, twelve years old this year. Six girls closed their eyes, thinking slowly, now Changxinghou is in good health, and he also has a concubine under his name. Unless all the males in Dafang and Erfang die overnight, there will be no chance for Sanfang to turn over. The mother counted on the imperial examination high school for the fifth youngest son, and it soared into the sky. However, Young Master Five is only eleven now, even if he can get into high school, it will be many years later.
