Chapter 14 (1/2)

The next day Chu Jinyao woke up and the first thing was to see Qin Yi.

”Qi Ze, Qi Ze?” Chu Jinyao whispered, but Qin Yi didn't respond.

It's over. He's angry with her! Chu Jinyao was really suffering. She called a few more times. She saw that Qin Yi had not moved yet, and several servant girls of clove and Camellia were about to come in. She had to press and not mention it.

After washing, Chu Jinyao changed into a light red stand collar jacket, a ginger seven piece horse face skirt and a bright red cloak, and hurried to rongning hall.

She greeted the old lady, who nodded indifferently. Chu Jinxian also sat next to old lady Chu. Seeing her, she said, ”it's the most important thing for you to learn the rules with mammy these days. Be diligent. Although mammy hasn't come yet, you can't be lazy. Go back and review your pen and ink.”

After hearing this, Chu Jinyao bent over and saluted Chu Jinxian: ”elder sister Xie.” then she hurried to the back classroom.

Chu Jinxian reminds her to go to review her brush and ink as soon as possible... Chu Jinyao has a headache when she hears it. It seems that they had a holiday yesterday. Today they are not relaxed. In addition to learning rules, needlework brush and ink should also be practiced.

Chu Jinyao lived in a poor family for the first 13 years. Food and clothing were a problem. How can he talk about embroidery, writing and other skills that rich people can afford for recreation? However, the leakage of the house happened to rain at night. Today, several other girls seemed to have an appointment. Not long after sitting down, the seventh girl in the second room said, ”Mammy, the fifth girl learned the best rules yesterday. We sisters can't catch up with her. I just don't know how her needlework, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are. The fifth sister might as well move a few strokes casually to open our eyes!”

Before Chu Jinyao spoke, Chu Jinmiao answered, ”yes, Mammy specially praised five girls yesterday. I want to come. Five girls hide deeply and have many skills that surprise us. Five girls don't want to be modest!”

Several other girls also helped. When mammy saw it, she also said, ”in that case, five girls can write a few words at will.”

The seven girls showed a successful smile, and Chu Jinmiao also bowed his head and smiled gently. Nowadays, literacy is the privilege of a few people. Farmers face the Loess and face the sky from generation to generation. They can speak clearly, but they are blind and can't recognize a word. Many vendors in the city are illiterate, and a few women in the back house are literate. Chu Jinyao had to do farm work at home. The daughter of this family still writes. Is it a problem to know words?

This is the consensus of the girls. The eldest girl's status is respected. In addition, she will be out of the cabinet soon. She does not participate in this selection. The second girl is a common woman in the second room. She is 15 years old. She is too old. Her character is tempered by Yan Shicao. She is basically out of the game. The third girl is Chu Jinchan, the concubine of Changxing marquis. She is just fine at the age of 14, but she is a concubine. Her identity is a little worse than the legitimate sisters.

The fourth girl is Chu Jinmiao. She has outstanding talent. She was raised by Zhao with silver money since childhood. If she didn't hold it wrong, the accompanying reading would be in her bag. However, it's such a coincidence. Chu Jinmiao is actually the daughter of the farmer Su family, not the young lady of Changxing Hou house. If her elders don't care, she can't live in Changxing Hou house anymore. After all, it's for the county leader to choose playmates. The daughter of Hou men is the best, and the daughter of a junior official with a poor identity is also normal, but it's too much to choose a farmer's daughter!

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

The next girl of the right age is Chu Jinyao, the fifth girl. Although Chu Jinyao is a legitimate daughter, she has not been raised in the Marquis house for the first 13 years. Maybe the princess and the prince will be picky about this. Later, the six girls were the legitimate daughter of the third master. The six girls had the right talent, identity and age. It happened that her father was born to his aunt. When the old Marquis was alive, he was confused and doted on the third master's biological mother, Yang. Yang dared to lose face in the main room because of his pet. Master Chu endured it all the time. As soon as the old Marquis died, he immediately sold Yang, After three rooms also rarely have a good face. Although the sixth girl is suitable in all aspects, she is a concubine. I'm afraid it's difficult for the old lady of Chu.

Under the six girls, there are seven girls. Seven girls are the legitimate daughter of the second wife Yan. They are arrogant. Such people go to be the accompaniment of the county leader... Six girls and Chu Jinmiao think, I'm afraid, Xuan.

Seven girls are twelve years old. They are already a little younger. Next, eight girls are only six years old. Obviously, they are automatically out. So to speak, the competitive ones are big Fang Shu's three girls, Chu Jinmiao, Chu Jinyao and three Fang Di's six girls. Seven girls have been secretly crossed by many people. Each of the four of them has their own strengths, but they all have some small defects. This offset, but they are evenly matched. No one is sure to win or lose.

It's easy to say. Chu Jinmiao reached a consensus with three girls and six girls. Seven girls are not afraid. Now they work together to squeeze out one, two places under them, and the three of them fight again. It's better than a cheap outsider. Chu Jinyao, who has the highest status and the best appearance, but has no foundation because she has just returned, is the best target.

Several girls joined hands to crowd out Chu Jinyao. They all know Chu Jinyao's background. They can make stitches and lay out an invitation. It doesn't matter. Chu Jinyao can't read or write. How can such a person be a companion? The flower mother and Deng Momo are from the royal palace. In a sense, they are the eyes of the princess. As long as they destroy the impression of Chu Jin Yao in the minds of these two mama, things have already become half.

So today, Chu Jinmiao must force Chu Jinyao to write in full view of the public, so that she can completely lose her face and have no chance to recover.

Other girls also spoke enthusiastically. Mother Deng knew that she praised Chu Jinyao yesterday. Now she doesn't let Chu Jinyao do anything, I'm afraid she can't convince the public, so mother Deng smiled and looked at Chu Jinyao: ”five girls, just write a few words.”

Chu Jinyao completely sulked, stood up, saluted mother Deng Fu and said: ”Mammy, to tell you the truth, when I was born, I was held by mistake. Under the wrong circumstances, the four girls were held back to the Marquis house, and I stayed in the farmhouse. My father just found me back at the end of the first month. I have no conditions since I was a child. I can't compare with the sisters who grew up in rich and noble countryside. I have many shortcomings in pen, ink and needle and thread. Please forgive me, Mammy.”

Chu Jinmiao heard this and quickly said, ”the five girls are a good source of trouble for Shuidong, but I didn't hurt you so much. Don't rely on me for anything. Even if you have to sell pity, you know that the two mammies came to choose a companion for the county leader, not a storyteller. No matter how much grievances you have, you can't think of muddling through?”

After hearing this, the seven girls also said, ”yes, you can write if you want to write. What do you do when you say so much?”

Mother Hua, who taught the rules yesterday, was also there. She only knew that five girls had just returned to the house. She never thought there were many other reasons. She didn't like Chu Jinmiao for no reason. She occupied the identity and status of others. She could also say that ”I didn't hurt you. You don't want anything to depend on me.” This kind of bastard remark shows that she has a cold heart. However, mother Hua cherishes the diligent and sensible five girls in her heart. Seeing this scene, she can't face the five girls any more. Mother Hua is a member of the palace and takes the interests of the palace as the greatest in her heart. Although the five girls have a bumpy life experience and are distressing, it is the matter of the county leader who is more important. She is illiterate and can't write Girl, I can't be a companion to their county leader.

Mother Hua planned to speak to help Chu Jinyao out. Although her opening resolved the embarrassment for Chu Jinyao, it also meant admitting that Chu Jinyao was illiterate and eliminating Chu Jinyao. Mother Hua's words reached her throat, but she heard Chu Jinyao say, ”I just let mammy forgive my bad words. Why did she say I wouldn't?”
