Chapter 47 (2/2)
Chu Jinyao can't help trusting Qin Yi. As Qin Yi said, Chu Jinyao feels like she can really do it. She is familiar with the art of clothes. She didn't have the chance, but now she can get in touch with all kinds of precious silk and satin materials. When she has silk and satin Chuang Tzu, she will be very popular to cut clothes for people. Moreover, her sister can go to the shop and help her and make money... Chu Jinyao Suddenly she felt wrong. She helplessly looked at the Jade Pendant: ”I've been taken by you. What do you mean I'm suitable for managing the silk and satin Chuang Tzu? I also think I'm suitable for managing the bank! Someone has to let me manage it.”
Qin Yi was amused to laugh again. Chu Jinyao thought to herself how this person was like this. She spoke with her heart and lungs, but he was laughing all the time. It was easy. When Qin Yi laughed enough, his voice was with a happy smile, his voice was careless, but his pronunciation was very calm: ”there will be some.”
She liked to hear this, and Chu Jinyao Chuchi laughed: ”OK, I'll lend you a good word. When this kind of injustice really appears, I'll change a gold thread for you.”
”Presumptuous!” although Qin Yi said so, he couldn't hide the smile in his voice.
The sunlight poured into the house from the pane and reflected the west room golden. Chu Jinyao sat in the warm sunshine, laughing and skillfully sewing lace for her clothes. On the small table at her hand, she was lying flat with a white and red jade pendant.
.
A few days later, when Chu Jinyao was greeting old lady Chu, she heard old lady Chu say, ”Pearl wrote that her mother-in-law knew she was coming back, took special care of her, and gave her a holiday early. Huailing Prefecture is only a day away from Taiyuan. She walked faster and should be there the next night.”
The girls were surprised: ”aunt is coming so soon?” ten days faster than originally agreed. Their clothes are not ready yet!
”Yes.” Mrs. Chu nodded, ”your aunt is coming back. What do you want to prepare for her? Go back and be busy now. I don't mind you. If there's anything missing, just come and tell the old Gu family.”
Mother Gu is the supporting room of the old lady of Chu. She is deeply trusted. Even Zhao has to give her dignity. The girls answered one by one, and then hurried back to pick up the guests' big clothes.
Ladies' daily affairs come and go just a little. It's already a big deal for my aunt to come back. Sure enough, as Chu Zhu said, on the evening of the third day, her carriage stopped outside the second door.
Chu Zhu is the only legitimate daughter of the old lady of Chu. She is like a pearl in her boudoir and married very well after she came out of the cabinet. Her husband's family is the prince's residence of huailing Prefecture, a king with a different surname that Dayan can count. Although the Royal Palace of huailing is not a serious royal family, the Royal Palace is the royal palace after all. Even if they are the distinguished families in Taiyuan, they are also the people after all. People who see the Royal Palace should greet them with fear and respect.
Chu Zhu sat in Mrs. Chu's rongning hall. The laughter could be heard from a distance. Zhao's daughter-in-law and other daughters stood on the ground, laughing with the old lady and her aunt. Aunt and daughter-in-law are different. The girl who is not out of the cabinet is a charming guest. The aunt who is out of the cabinet goes back to her mother's house, which is a distinguished guest and is better to be entertained, but the daughter-in-law is different. The daughter-in-law has to serve her in-law and raise her daughter. On this occasion, Chu Zhu is sitting by the stars, and Zhao has to stand aside and make rules.
Old lady Chu asked her daughter, ”why did you come back so soon? Your mother-in-law didn't say you? You can come back whenever your mother-in-law comes back. Don't let your mother-in-law have a problem with you.”
”I understand that my mother-in-law sent me back this time.” Chu Zhu said, looking back at Zhao and others. ”The sisters in law look better and better.”
Zhao smiled and said, ”where can you compare with your aunt? You keep a good figure and your face is transparent. People who don't know think you are a girl in our family!”
Everyone laughed, and Chu Zhu was particularly happy. Women like to be praised for being young and beautiful. Zhao had only one son and was weak. She was always very careful in front of her mother-in-law. Now I still want to hold my sister-in-law happy in front of my mother-in-law.
Chu Zhu said with a smile, ”my sister-in-law can really talk. I'm almost an old woman. How can I compare with the girls like green onions at home?”
Yan Shi, the second lady, answered, ”what my aunt said is that Ning Ge'er is going to get a wife. Aren't you going to be called grandma!”
Ouch, what he said coaxed Chu Zhu out of her mouth. She has always been proud of high marriage. She is the only one among so many famous officials in Shanxi to marry into the palace, and her son is her greatest pride. The old lady of Chu also cherished her only grandson. She asked, ”brother Ning, why didn't you come in?”
Outside rongning hall, Chu Jinyao walked around in a cluster of yards. She lowered her voice and asked Qin Yi, ”how do you get out?”
Just now Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian were in the old lady's room, talking to their ancestors. Suddenly, someone sent a letter saying that my aunt was coming. She hurriedly got up and prepared to meet her aunt. In a hurry, seven girls turned a cup of tea over Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao had no choice but to come back and change her clothes.
The old lady was worried for several days, but she was late on the day Chu Zhu came back. Chu Jinyao didn't dare to think about the next thing. She changed her clothes and hurried to rongningtang. In order to take a shortcut, she didn't take the main road she was used to, but planned to cross the yard and take a shortcut. However, as soon as he left, things went out.
Chu Jinyao is lost.
Chu Jinyao is followed by rose, a newly bought girl who doesn't know the way here. There are empty yards in this area. The dark ones look the same. They have been walking around for a long time and become more and more confused.
Chu Jinyao quickly whispered for help to Qin Yi while the roses were not paying attention.
”Go out from the corner gate of the small courtyard, go north along the lane, turn west at the corner... In fact, you can go another corner and turn west. You can enter the yard from the steps, cross it, and then take two steps to the south, and you can get to the road you often go.”
Chu Jinyao was stunned for a moment: ”ah?”
”Don't you remember?” Qin Yi was surprised and had to say, ”go north first...”
”Where is north?”
Qin Yi was speechless when asked, ”you don't even know the north?”
”I know. But there are the same houses and yards around. How can I tell?”
”I don't think you know.” Qin Yi was so angry that he couldn't find the north in another place. Can you tell me the location? He had to say, ”did you see the corner door? Yes, it's behind the ear room. Go straight along the road after you go out...”
Chu Jinyao groped slowly in this building under the intermittent guidance of Qin Yi. She had to support the roses for a while, and then secretly talked to Qin Yi. Chu Jinyao felt like a thief.
”How to go next?” Chu Jinyao secretly asked Qin Yi while people were not paying attention.
”What are you doing?” a voice suddenly sounded behind her. Chu Jinyao was startled and loosened her jade pendant.
”You also think she's pathetic.” Chu Jinmiao sneered. ”Yes, she's the real daughter. I'm a fake. I don't know when I'll be kicked out. She's pathetic. I deserve it anyway.”
”There's nothing.” Lin Xining softened his voice and comforted Chu Jinmiao in a soft voice, ”You are the child who grew up here. After 13 years of hard work, everyone regards you as their own girl. Now, although the fifth cousin has come back, how long she has lived here and how long you have lived here. Grandma and others will pay special attention to her only if they want to make up for her. In fact, grandma and aunt must love you more. Think about it, if there are guests at home, won't they What good things must be kept close to the guests first? ”
Chu Jinmiao thought for a moment and reluctantly said, ”yes.”
”That's it.” Lin Xining said with a smile. ”You see, you also understand this truth. That's how you and your fifth cousin are. Don't worry. You're the daughter who has been raised for 13 years. Feelings come out of each other.”
Chu Jinmiao was explained. He kept pulling his face and smiled: ”then why are you so considerate to her today? She looks good, aren't you...”
”What do you think?” Lin Xining smiled and stretched out his hand to play Chu Jinmiao's forehead. ”It's not too much for her to say she's a stranger to me. Even if the girls in other houses get lost at home, I'll take them out. It has nothing to do with my fifth cousin.”
Chu Jinmiao hummed softly, ”that's good.”
”You are still so fond of making small sex.” Lin Xining looked at Chu Jinmiao and smiled spoiled.
”But there are no five girls, six girls and seven girls. Don't think I don't know. Many girls are secretly looking at you at the banquet today.” Chu Jinmiao said and lamented, ”You are the legitimate son of the king's residence, and I am just an ordinary young lady of Houmen, not even a girl of serious origin. It turned out that we are young and have no taboo, but we have grown up. I'm afraid we can't be as kind as when we were young.”
Lin Xining thought of his mother's intention of coming to Changxing Hou's house and said in a low voice, ”No.”
”Why not?” Chu Jinmiao smiled bitterly. The smile on her face was weak and bitter. Obviously, she thought of her life experience. She said: ”it's only me. I didn't die directly when I was a child. Instead, I have to live to now and occupy other people's wealth.”
”Fourth cousin!”
Chu Jinmiao shook her head and didn't want to say any more. She asked, ”cousin, what are you doing back this time?”
The family had told Lin Xining not to talk outside, but her cousin was not an outsider, let alone she would know sooner or later. Lin Xining thought like this. After seeing no one around, he whispered to Chu Jinmiao, ”mother came back this time to pick two girls to go to the king's house to study with the county leader.”
”County leader!” Chu Jinmiao covered his mouth. The county leader was a famous figure in Taiyuan. She was the direct daughter of King huailing. For these Hou Men Ladies, it was an incomparable and noble existence. Chu Jinyao was surprised and said, ”how can it be related to the county leader for no reason? Moreover, if the county leader wanted to study, he would have asked someone to accompany him before. Why do you look for him now?”
”Alas, it's not because of that.” Lin Xining quickly pointed to the north and hinted to Chu Jinmiao, ”That's in Shanxi. My uncle wants to open his hand. Our three younger sisters don't like reading and play crazy all day. My uncle and aunt really can't control it. Then I thought that maybe the three younger sisters can sit down with some girls from outside and accompanied by their peers.”
Chu Jinmiao didn't understand at first. Who was that? Why didn't Lin Xining say it? But when he heard it later, he thought about the direction of Lin Xining's fingers. Chu Jinmiao was so scared that he almost cried out: ”you mean, prince?”
”Shh!” Lin Xining hurriedly covered Chu Jinmiao's mouth. Chu Jinmiao's mouth was covered and his eyes widened in surprise. Lin Xining hurried to look around and made sure there was no one. When he looked back, he realized what he had done. He quickly let go, took two steps back and said incoherently, ”sorry, fourth cousin, I was rude just now.”
Then Lin Xining's face turned red.
Chu Jinmiao shook her head in a trance and said, ”nothing's wrong.” however, in fact, she didn't pay attention to Lin Xining's actions at all. All her thoughts had flown to another person.
Go to the prince's residence to study with the county leader. Maybe you can see the prince. If the county leader really becomes the crown princess, what about reading with him?
In rongning hall, Chu Zhu dismissed the servant and was talking to old lady Chu about it.
”Niang, you know, the prince is in Datong now. The county Lord has contacts in Datong. According to them, it seems that the prince was hurt a lot when he chased Tatar last time. He has been closed to recuperate from illness these days, and no visitors have been seen. The prince sent people to visit and wanted to find out about the prince by the way, but they were stopped by the father-in-law of the east palace. Although he couldn't see the prince, the prince died In Shanxi, there is no escape. According to internal sources, the commander in chief has the intention to persuade his Highness the prince to come to Taiyuan to recuperate. After all, the border is too dangerous. ”
Rao was a well-informed old lady of Chu. She was so surprised that she took a breath: ”Your Highness the prince is going to Taiyuan?”
”If the prince doesn't speak, who dares to be accurate.” Chu Zhu said, ”however, there should be 70%
”Oh, ancestors.” old man Chu's heart was pounding. She couldn't help standing up and walked under the hall for a circle or two to calm her horror. When the old lady of Chu calmed down, Mammy Gu came forward and helped the old lady sit on the Luohan bed. The old lady of Chu exclaimed, ”if the prince comes to Taiyuan, this is the great glory of our Chu family! If we are lucky to receive the prince in Changxing Marquis, we will see our ancestors and have a glorious face in the future.”
”Exactly.” Chu Zhu said with a smile, ”brother was so busy a few days ago that he was mostly asking about it.”
After Chu Zhu's reminder, the old lady of Chu also thought that some time ago, after picking up the five girls, Changxing Hou was busy for half a month. It turned out that at that time, he heard the wind. The old lady of Chu complained: ”he is really. Why don't you tell me about such a big event? I'd better make psychological preparations in advance.”
”Niang, the greater happiness is still ahead.” Chu zhuruo smiled.
”Oh?” old lady Chu looked at Chu Zhu in surprise. Seeing that Guan Zi had sold enough, Chu Zhu spoke proudly: ”Niang, although the prince's residence is not in Taiyuan, it is less than a day's journey from Taiyuan. The prince's Highness has come to Taiyuan. There are not many people who can meet the prince's family. If the prince's residence in huailing doesn't speak, who dares to accept the reception of the prince? Therefore, it is obvious that the first stop of the prince's residence must be our prince's residence. Niang, you know, the county head of the prince's residence is twelve years old this year Now, Prince seventeen, look at your age. Isn't it a good marriage that can't be stopped? ”
The old lady of Chu realized what the Lin family was up to. Huailing Prefecture is one of the few different surnamed kings of Dayan. The emperor's suspicion of the vassal king has become more and more serious in recent years, and the emperor's biological brothers can't please him, let alone the king of huailing. If the county Lord becomes the crown princess, huailing Prefecture will ascend to heaven step by step.
Seeing that old lady Chu understood, Chu Zhu continued: ”The prince is not sure when he will come to Taiyuan, but the matter of the county Lord can be prepared early. The county Lord has a noble status and has grown up with a strong temper. The county Lord is just arrogant at home. How can he contradict the prince in front of the prince? If you want to seek the position of princess, the county Lord must change his temper, so The princess and the princess wanted to escort the county Lord to study and learn the rules and sharpen her temperament. However, the county Lord refused to study hard. They drove away two masters in a month. The princess and the princess had no choice but to think about whether they could pick some girls from outside to study with the county Lord. As long as they could calm the county Lord down, it would be a great achievement. ”
