Chapter 15 (1/2)
When Chu Jinmiao returned to the yard, Kikyo, who went out with Chu Jinyao, patted his chest and said, ”girl, I'm scared to death today! Fortunately, you wrote it at last, otherwise we'll be disgraced!”
Chu Jinyao nodded ”well”, Kikyo was afraid and excited, and shouted, ”and the poem you wrote seems to be that Lu Yao knows horsepower. It's wonderful! It can not only prove their strength, but also beat them in the face!”
The horse power is known from a distance, and the heart is seen over time. Chu Jinyao wrote this sentence in front of all the people, which can not only help herself out and wash away the sewage that she can't write, but also secretly show her honest heart and satirize Chu Jinmiao and others.
Kikyo asked happily, ”girl, how did you remember to write this poem?”
Chu Jinyao sighed: ”it's not what I thought. It's too dangerous today.”
Chu Jinmiao and others guessed right. Chu Jinyao really can't write, at least not with a brush.
After all, she grew up in a poor peasant family. Which peasant family is willing to read and write for girls? Chu Jinyao knows most of the characters, which is extremely rare in the village.
Although the Su family was poor, when Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinmiao were born, Zhao stayed with the Su family and gave them a box of gold hairpins as a reward. Not to mention how much the process of gold hairpin is worth, just rely on those two pieces of gold to ensure that the Su family has enough food and clothing for a long time. However, Su's mother is stingy by nature, especially for Su Hui and Chu Jinyao. If she can save, she will save. She should wear big clothes and give old ones to small ones. But for Su Sheng, his only son, his father and mother were very willing to spend money. They even bit their teeth and sent Su Sheng to a private school in the village, hoping to provide a scholar.
Chu Jinyao doesn't think Su Sheng's straw bag can get a reputation. Su Sheng is spoiled by his family. Since childhood, he knows to command his two sisters. He spends a lot of money to study in a private school every day. He doesn't even turn over his books when he comes back. On the contrary, Chu Jinyao is only one year away from Su Sheng. She knows many words by Su Sheng's light. However, although Chu Jinyao can probably recognize the commonly used words, she can't write at all. Obviously, the Su family won't give her a chance to practice writing. Chu Jinyao avoided his family when she was a child and practiced on the sand several times, but how can writing on the sand be the same as writing on paper?
Moreover, the Changxing Marquis house uses excellent rabbit hair pens, and the nibs are soft. Without a few years of wrist Kung Fu, how can you learn to use pens.
Thanks to Qin Yi, Chu Jinyao was able to write the five words ”know horsepower from a distance”. Qin Yi is really impatient to see Chu Jinyao do needlework, and the time in the boudoir is so boring that he can only rush Chu Jinyao to the study and teach her to write. These five words were given to Chu Jinyao by Qin Yi just in case. Who would have thought that it was really used.
Kikyo took the sewing basket and asked, ”girl, do you want to make sewing today?”
”No, Mammy talked a lot today. I'm going to study.” Chu Jinyao stood up and walked to the two study rooms in the East. She also specially left a message to the servant girls: ”I want to study in the study. Don't come in and disturb me.”
”Yes.”
When the door was closed, Chu Jinyao immediately fell asleep and shouted softly, ”Qi Ze, Qi Ze, are you there?”
Qin Yi said softly, ”aren't you impatient to practice calligraphy? Why have you changed your attitude now?”
Chu Jinyao has a thick skin when facing Qin Yi. She said, ”I've come to thank you! If you hadn't urged me before, I would make a big fool of myself today! But I can't hide it for a while. I can only write these five words. I'll reveal the truth sooner or later! If the four girls catch the flaw at that time...” Chu Jinyao felt fighting all over when she thought about it. She said, ”I don't want it! I ridiculed Chu Jinmiao today. If she found out that I can't write in the future, she will return it three or four times! I don't want it, Qi Ze, Qi Ze...”
Speaking of the end, Chu Jinyao's tone is lengthened, which has brought the coquettish posture that you won't obey me if you don't promise.
Qin Yi sighed. Being coquettish is really a woman's talent. Chu Jinyao knew how to grind him naturally. Qin Yi had no choice but to say helplessly, ”OK, I won't ignore you. Go and study the ink.”
Chu Jinyao gave a clear ”Hey” and ran to study ink happily. She had just finished spreading the paper when she suddenly heard Camellia calling her outside. Chu Jinyao had to put down what she was doing and go out to have a look.
Chu Jinyao walked inside while talking to Kikyo and others: ”it's hot these days. Wash these jacket clothes and put them away. By the way, fur clothes are prone to moisture. Don't put them away until they are dried!”
”Yes.” Kikyo went out with his clothes. Clove followed Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao went through Linglang's full Bogu rack and said, ”I don't need your service here. Go out and do other things first. I'm reading in the study. Don't let other little servant girls come in and quarrel with me.”
Clove ”ah” gave a sound and obediently turned and went out. Chu Jinyao opened the gauze cabinet, raised her head unprepared, and saw a man standing in front of her desk.
Chu Jinyao was so frightened that she took a step back and bumped her back against the gauze cabinet. At that moment, her legs were soft.
Chu Jinyao opened her mouth slightly and couldn't make a sound for a long time. Clove didn't go far. When she heard the sound, she ran over and asked, ”girl, what's the matter with you?”
Chu Jinyao arranged a study for Dongzao. Since it is a study, it must be separated from the outside, otherwise it will be messy. Now Chu Jinyao's hand is on the blue gauze cabinet he ordered to install. Through the gauze on the partition fan, he can see the shadow of the maid coming and going outside. The sound of lilac seemed to be in her ear. Chu Jinyao leaned nervously against the partition fan and was not sure whether to push the door to let people in.
The culprit of all this is standing in front of the desk reading the calligraphy. When he hears the voice of clove, he doesn't have the slightest urgency. Instead, he raises his head with a mocking smile in his eyes and looks at Chu Jinyao.
It seems that he also wants to see what Chu Jinyao is going to do.
