Chapter 22 (1/2)
When mother sun returned to Chaoyun hospital that day, she did not dare to be as crazy as yesterday.
The servants of Chaoyun hospital saw that mother sun went out arrogantly and put down cruel words to seek justice from her wife. Chu Jinyao calmly went out for a circle. After returning, mother sun was honest and dared not be rude to Chu Jinyao again. Several servant girls were surprised. They also respected Chu Jinyao and put away their contempt.
Although the foundation of Miss Wu is shallow, she is not a lord to be rubbed by others.
Chu Jinyao took care of mother sun that day, and went to learn poetry with mother Deng. When she returned to Chaoyun hospital, she was tired again.
But even so, she insisted on practicing calligraphy. Qin Yi looked at it, frowned and said, ”you've been learning the rules for so long today. Let's have a rest first.”
Chu Jinyao shook her head without raising her head: ”this is the homework that must be done every day. How can I lack it? I can bear it. Chu Jinmiao and I are so different. If I don't work hard, I will be dumped farther and farther.”
”She's just a show off.” Qin Yi came out of the jade pendant, sat opposite Chu Jinmiao, took a book and said, ”She's only relying on you to learn poetry longer than you. Other women spend most of their time on sewing and don't bother to use their brains to read, which makes her particularly outstanding in literary talent. You have the same talent as her, but your mind is stronger than her. It's only a matter of time before you catch up with her.”
”Really?”
”Really.”
Chu Jinyao chuckled. As she wrote, she said to Qin Yi: ”Although I think you're coaxing me, I'm still happy. But no matter how much I don't like her, I have to admit that Chu Jinmiao can talk and win over people. You see, I've been back for so long. My grandmother, sisters and mother all like Chu Jinmiao better, not to mention my brothers. I think my two cousins like her better.”
”I don't think so.” Qin Yi said, ”you can't just look at the surface. In fact, Chu Jinmiao's popularity among women is not good. For example, your eldest sister doesn't like her. Your sister is the eldest daughter of the family, and her eyes represent the preferences of the female elders in the house. You are still young, and it will be more obvious in a few years.”
Chu Jinyao doubted: ”are you serious?”
”Of course.” Qin Yi glanced coolly at Chu Jinyao. ”Do I look like a person who can't see?”
”Although I always think you're comforting me, I also hope it's true.” Chu Jinyao sighed, ”I don't expect other female elders to like me. As long as my mother is fair to me, it's enough.”
Hearing this, even Qin Yi felt it hard to say: ”your mother... I didn't expect that the wife of Changxing Hou should be so obedient and partial. If she continues to be like this in the future, she can only find someone to pick her up.”
Chu Jinmiao was stunned and immediately asked, ”what do you mean?” Qin Yi's sentence was so strange that Chu Jinyao couldn't help doubting his identity.
”Nothing.” Qin Yi calmly turned over a page of the book and asked, ”why did you just say two cousins?”
”You change the subject again!” Chu Jinyao was so angry that she stretched out her hand to pat him. Before she asked why, she suddenly heard clove report outside: ”girl, six girls are coming.”
Miss six? What did miss six come to her for? Chu Jinyao was puzzled, and the strangeness of Qin Yi was put aside. Miss six is the legitimate daughter of Sanfang. She is not very popular with the old lady, and she is cautious in her words and deeds. Chu Jinyao secretly thought that miss six is a man with a sense of success. But even so, Chu Jinyao won't take the initiative to approach Sanfang. What can she do to annoy the old lady? Aunt six Mother and Chu Jinyao have no intersection. They just nod and smile when they meet. What does she do in Chaoyun hospital?
Chu Jinyao felt strange. She lowered her voice and asked Qin Yi sitting opposite, ”you said, what are the six girls doing?”
Qin Yi put down the book and said, ”wait for its change. Go out and have a look first.”
Chu Jinyao put down his pen and went to the Ming hall. Sure enough, she saw that six girls had stood in the hall. Six girls saw Chu Jinyao coming out from the East tip, and the tip of her eyebrows moved slightly: ”five sisters are really diligent. As soon as she comes back, she will go to the study to practice.”
Chu Jinyao smiled and said, ”no, I just look around.” Chu Jinyao led the six girls to the west room. After they sat down, the servant girl changed into a fresh fruit plate. When the servant girls retreated to one side, Chu Jinyao asked, ”why do you remember me here?”
”I made some snacks and came to see the fifth sister.” the sixth girl said, and asked her servant girl to present the dessert box. A servant girl with a double spiral bun took two steps forward with a red paint box, slightly opened the cover and took out a stack of small plum blossom cakes from it. The sixth girl smiled and said, ”I made it casually. Don't dislike the fifth sister.”
”How could it be.” Chu Jinyao smiled and asked the servant girl to put the plate of plum blossom cake and put away the other snacks one by one. Chu Jinyao glanced at the plum blossom cake of six girls and took back her sight.
Six girls said that she made these cakes by herself, but in fact, her girls did them well. Six girls did it by themselves. Chu Jinyao thought these cakes were exquisite and not difficult. If there were plum blossom molds, she could make them herself.
However, she thought so in her heart, but she couldn't tell the truth in face. Chu Jinyao's servant girls were praising: ”six girls are so skillful.” Chu Jinyao also smiled and said, ”six sisters have a heart.”
The sixth girl smiled and said, ”if only the fifth sister doesn't dislike it.”
Chu Jinyao looked at the six girls and everyone polite, but he refused to mention the subject. Chu Jinyao didn't remind her either. She chatted with her calmly.
Miss Liu waited for a while, but she couldn't wait for Chu Jinyao to ask. She thought to herself that Chu Jinyao was really calm. The sixth girl had to break the window paper by herself: ”sister five, I'm here today. In addition to sending you cakes, I also have some selfish things to say to you.”
Chu Jinyao listened and looked at the surrounding servant girls with her eyes. Kikyo and others immediately quit with interest: ”slaves and maidservants go to prepare melons and fruits for the girls.”
When the miscellaneous girl was almost gone, the sixth girl lowered her voice, propped her elbow on the table and leaned slightly towards Chu Jinyao: ”sister five, I came today to tell you quietly that the fourth girl wants to place spies around you.”
Chu Jinyao accidentally picked her eyebrows and asked, ”Oh? How do you say that?”
”I have a servant girl who was born at home. She was very popular. That day she went to talk to her little sister and heard what the servant girl sweeping in the four girls' Yard said. When the four girls talked to people, she didn't notice the people standing behind the bushes, which was heard by the little girl. When my servant girl knew the truth, she told me when she came back. I thought about it and thought about it. There was nothing wrong, so she came to tell the fifth sister Sister. ”
Chu Jinyao's smile remained unchanged after listening, but she left her mind. Not to mention whether the girl's eavesdropping is true, even if it is true, why did the sixth girl tell her? Chu Jinyao didn't say anything, but said, ”it's hard for you to think of me, but we are all sisters in the same house. If we are heard, we will probably have to chew our tongue. I'm sorry that the sixth sister took such a risk for me.”
Six girls said: ”Sister five, I don't know. I feel very congenial when I see you. In fact, like you, I'm not much favored in the Marquis house. I'm not as popular as four girls and seven girls. I have to survive carefully in the cracks. Seeing that you are in trouble everywhere, I feel pity for you, so I always want to help you do something. But I'm not favored either. I'm afraid I'm more than willing to help Feet. ”
Chu Jinyao said with a smile, ”I'm very moved that sixth sister thinks so. Sixth sister doesn't need to do anything for me. I know your heart is enough.”
Seeing that Chu Jinyao refused to speak, the sixth girl had to take out her cards and said, ”sister five, do you know why Mrs. Hou suddenly thought of sending you a nurturing mother?”
