The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant - Chapter 18
Aunt Huang was so pampered, and the three girls had been fascinated by her since she was a child, and she was also very good at winning over men. The third girl knew that she was a concubine, Mrs. Chu didn’t need to count on it, and the Zhao family wouldn’t say good things to her. The only thing she could rely on was Chang Xinghou. After all, Changxing Hou is the master of the Hou Mansion. As long as Changxing Hou is optimistic about her, the old lady and others dare not despise the three girls.
The three girls saw that they had succeeded in leaving the impression of diligence and hard work on Changxinghou. The next step is to persuade Chang Xinghou to let Chang Xinghou come forward and recommend the third girl to read with Mrs. Chu. That is the matter of Aunt Huang.
After coming out, the three girls had a much brisk footsteps. Her maid was happy to see the girl, and said jokingly: “Master Hou really loves the girl, and today she actually said that the girl came to read with the county owner as a companion.”
“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 give her a good impression of her, and then it is logical to 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 I always have to be diligent.” Six girls put down the pen. She had just written a page of big characters, and her wrist was a bit 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 thought of passing the position of Hou to Sanfang. 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 three bedrooms. The old lady had never tolerated 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.
After all, the only thing Six Girls can rely on is herself.
“Girl?” The maid yelled suddenly, and the sixth girl woke up from her thoughts. She looked at the maid unhappily and asked, “What’s the matter?”
The maid flinched, quickly lowered her head, and said, “It’s nothing, I’m afraid the girl is asleep, so I called it out.”
The sixth girl retracted her hand. After being massaged by the maid, her hand was much better. The six girls’ eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and said quietly: “It’s hard to be loved by the elders. It seems that I can only change the situation by working **** my own.”
“Girl?” the maid asked tentatively. The sixth girl turned her head and said in a flat tone: “I will study diligently these few days, and you will prepare pens and inks and other things in advance.”
“Yes.”
In Chaoyun Courtyard, Chu Jinyao just finished writing the third page of the big characters.
Qin Yi slept, and when he woke up, he saw Chu Jinyao still practicing calligraphy. He looked back at the sky and said, “You have been practicing calligraphy?”
“Yes.” Chu Jinyao put down the pen, rubbed her already stiff wrist, and spread out a new piece of white rice paper. She has written three pages. This is only the finished product, and there are still many waste papers written in the middle. In order to show diligence, the third girl kept the light in the study room on. The sixth girl hardened her heart to practice, but she felt tired after writing a page and didn’t want to write any more. Chu Jinmiao accompanied Zhao to talk about it all night. Then, help Zhao’s aunt in the backyard. Only Chu Jinyao really practiced all night and has not rested until now.
Even Qin Yi sighed, “You don’t need to be so anxious. Freezing three feet is not a day’s cold. You don’t have to force yourself like this.” Chu Jinyao’s skill is comparable to that of a student in the scientific examination.
“No.” Chu Jinyao shook her head, “I didn’t have the opportunity to write before. I’m already much worse than my sisters. If I don’t work hard, I deserve to be laughed at. I’ll just write another page. have a rest.”
Qin Yi watched for a while and sighed silently. He suddenly said: “I used to worry about you, but now it seems that wherever you go in the future, you will live your life very well.”
“Really?” Chu Jinyao was surprised, smiled and looked up from the paper, looking at Qin Yi.
Under the light, Chu Jinyao’s eyes were bright and almost glowing. Qin Yi also smiled softly, and rarely nodded softly, “Really.”
Chu Jinyao chuckled and laughed: “I also think. As long as I think about going to live in a completely unfamiliar family in the future, I feel terrified, but the thought of being with you is nothing.”
Qin Yi was silent for a while before speaking in a low voice, “Chu Jinyao, have you ever thought that if one day, I am gone?”
Hearing these words, Chu Jinyao was suddenly speechless.
In fact, she thought about this question. Although I don’t know why Qin Yi appeared in her jade Perry, but Qin Yi is almost omnipotent, omnipotent, such a spirit of unknown origin, but very understanding of the world, Chu Jinyao does not think that the other party can stay with her. Around. She thought that she could meet Qin Yi, because she was loved by God. When this day really comes, she can only wish Qin Yiyuan go high and take it to the next level.
“If there is such a day, Qi Ze, you must tell me earlier.” As soon as the words were spoken, Chu Jinyao regretted it again, “No, you still don’t want to tell me, I know it will be totally uncomfortable. You think you will With so many things, what belongs to you is the vast sky outside, not me, a lady in the house who can only see a small piece of sky. You will have a very good life in the future, and I will always bless you.”
Qin Yi did not speak. This was the first time they talked about this topic. Qin Yi thought about it many times that he would leave sooner or later, reminding Chu Jinyao earlier to make her mentally prepared for it, and it was for her good. However, when he really brought up this topic, Qin Yi didn’t like it very much. He inexplicably disliked the heavy atmosphere at the moment.
“Forget it, this day is still far away, let’s discuss it later.” Qin Yi sighed.
But Chu Jinyao didn’t follow Qin Yi’s words as before. She untied the Luozi and took out the jade pendant. This piece of jade is transparent and delicate, and the quality of the jade is excellent, and the red flocculation in the jade is like bloodshot, and it has a magical beauty. Chu Jinyao looked at it for a long time and said, “Look, Qi Ze, there are very few red flocks in Yuli.”
Qin Yi didn’t answer the conversation for some reason. Chu Jinyao didn’t care about his indifference, and continued: “None of us knows what will happen after all the red catkins disappear. But I don’t want to bet, I don’t want you to take this risk.”
After a while, she said with difficulty: “Let’s find a way.”
