The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chu Jinyao was lost and was looking for Qin Yi for directions. After 　　 went to school, Grandma Deng suddenly found out that she had forgotten to take something, so she had to turn back and fetch it.

She walked into the three opened Mingtang, and unexpectedly found that Chu Jinmiao was also there.

"Four girls?" Grandma Deng was surprised, "It's been a long time since I've been out of class, why are you still here?"

Chu Jinmiao closed the book and said, "The mother spoke very well today. I feel a little bit about it. I only feel the lingering fragrance of my mouth. I can't calm down for a long time, so I just stayed and read it for a while."

Mother Deng stepped forward and waited for her to read the handwriting on Chu Jin's wonderful book, and said in amazement: "The girl has also read the world and spoke a new language?"

"I don't dare, I just read it one or two in my spare time."

Mother Deng pointed to the words in the book and asked, "You wrote these?"

"I wrote it casually after I read it before." Chu Jin was a little embarrassed, closed the book with his backhand, stood up and said, "Mother laughed."

Mother Deng shook her head, picked up Chu Jinmiao's book, and roughly flipped through it. I saw ink stains scattered on the book, and some of it was old ink. I could read it from time to time at a glance, and even wrote insights on the book. Grandma Deng nodded and smiled after reading it: "The Four Girls surprised me. These books are not scientific expeditions. Men rarely read them. They never thought of the Four Girls but read them many times. The slave is ashamed."

"Don't dare to be, mother, don't say that." Chu Jinmiao waved his hand and smiled, "I just read and play on weekdays, and I don't need to test tribute, how dare I compare my brothers' skills."

"The four girls are overly modest." Grandma Deng smiled. She used to hear people only say that the four girls are known for their talents, but today is the real experience. She suddenly became interested in talents. It is rare that there is such a smart and studious girl among the ladies. Mother Deng asked with a gentle face: "Four girls, it's not early, the old lady should have dinner. Why don't you see people come looking for you? "

Chu Jinmiao smiled bitterly: "What identity am I? How can someone come to find me."

Mother Deng suddenly thought that although the four girls had their names on them, their true identity was not a lady of the Chu family. This girl is also pitiful. She has been in a good house for thirteen years, and suddenly she was told that she is not from this family, and that she is a real daughter. Grandma Deng was very sorry. The destiny of talented women is always so divorced. The more she thinks about it, the more unpleasant she is. She said: "The four girls don't have to be so low. Your talents are here, and sooner or later they will shine. Even if the pearl is covered in dust, But as long as you are a pearl, one day you will meet someone with knowledge!"

"Thank you for your comfort." Chu Jinmiao saluted Grandma Deng. The smile on her face didn't last long, and she became sad again. "I also hope to meet the wise man in the mouth of Grandma. But it's me. I am embarrassed and live in the Hou Mansion with a bad name. I am afraid I can't wait until Bole. I didn't expect that I was the girl who held the wrong person. Over the past few years, I had occupied the identity and status of the family in vain. The Hou Mansion was willing to take me in. It’s already a great kindness, and I don’t dare to ask for more. I usually have a few complaints about it. Who made me guilty when I was born. I originally thought there was only a place to live. Just let me continue reading, but unfortunately, it is my extravagant hope after all."

Grandma Deng frowned upon hearing these words: "Fourth girl, could it be that the fifth girl is secretly targeting you?"

After hearing this, Chu Jinmiao bowed her head in silence. After a while, she shook her head with a mournful face: "Mother, don't say it. She doesn't like hearing this kind of thing. I robbed someone from someone else. She was outside." I didn’t have a good time. It’s really right to be angry with me after I came back. Grandmother and father are both determined to make up for her. I am not a decent girl from the Chu family. It would be nice if they were willing to raise me. No? It's okay anyway, it's over after a while."

Grandma Deng sighed. The four girls were originally the proud daughter of heaven, but she was suddenly told that she was actually the daughter of a farmer. Who could bear such a drastic change in her identity? Not to mention, the four girls still have to face their former sisters and subordinates. I am afraid that after her identity is revealed, the original subordinates dare to openly neglect her, right? Mother Deng originally thought that the four girls were quiet and talented, but she never expected that she would lead such a life in private.

Mother Deng felt pity, and she could only say: "The girl doesn't have to complain, she will be fine in the future."

"Hope." Chu Jinmiao smiled bitterly and sighed, "I just don't know how long this Hou Mansion can hold me. It doesn't matter if I am like duckweed anyway."

Mother Deng could not speak, and she also felt that for the four girls, the Hou Mansion was not a long-term place to stay. However, she could not decide about the companionship of the palace. Mother Deng felt that it would be nice to find a talented and studious girl for the county lord, but she didn't count, so the princess and old lady nodded! If Mother Deng can decide this, she can now comfort Chu Jinmiao with a few words, but she can't, and she can't give Chu Jinmiao hope. In the end, Mother Deng could only say: "Don't worry, girls, there will always be people who recognize your preciousness, and they will be able to marry you back in the future."

Chu Jinmiao burst into tears and smiled: "Mother Xie Jiyan." She hurriedly put away her tears and pretended to be strong and smiled. However, the pretense of being strong would only make people feel more distressed. Chu Jinmiao seemed to not know, and said: " I think my grandma and I have a special relationship. The first time I saw my grandma, I liked you very much, but I didn’t dare to say it, I was afraid that you would feel that I was flattering. I have a collection of poems written in the past, how can I give you a meeting gift? kind?"

Mother Deng hesitated: "The girl's collection of poems, how good is this..."

Chu Jinmiao saw that Grandma Deng was about to resign, and quickly said, "Mother, I don’t need to resign. This is my heart. I’m afraid I won’t see you again after this farewell. I will give you my collection of poems. It has fulfilled my wish."

Seeing what Chu Jinmiao had said, Mother Deng had no choice but to agree: "Okay, the old slave will pass."

Chu Jinmiao immediately pulled out a collection of poems from under the pile of books and handed it to Mother Deng with both hands. Grandma Deng turned a few pages casually, and suddenly heard Chu Jinmiao's "Yeah". Mother Deng looked up: "Girl, what's the matter?"

"Mother, I almost forgot. There are a few poems by my brother in it. If they are all my own, then I will send them to you. But there are poems by my second brother, and I don’t know he doesn’t have them either. Make another copy. It’s not good to give it to you directly. Or, I’ll go back today and copy it again, and I’ll send it to you tomorrow?"

Grandma Deng smiled and said, "Okay, this is natural." After Grandma Deng finished speaking, she couldn't help adding: "The four girls don't have to be in a hurry. We will leave at noon tomorrow. You can copy slowly. If you are in time, you must not delay sleeping just for this."

"I can save it." Chu Jinmiao pursed his lips and smiled. She and Grandma Deng were talking, and suddenly a voice came from outside the door: "Sister Si, are you there?"

Chu Jinmiao thought, why did she come? But Mother Deng was still there, and Chu Jinmiao couldn't keep silent, so she reluctantly smiled and replied, "I'm here."

As soon as the three girls, Chu Jinchan, came in, they saw Chu Jinmiao and Mother Deng standing together, and they seemed to have said something for a long time. The third girl's eyes flashed and she cursed in her heart, but she immediately smiled on her face: "Why is the fourth sister here? It makes me easy to find."

Chu Jinmiao smiled awkwardly, not wanting to talk to the three girls at all. Chu Jinmiao hurriedly said: "It's getting late, I'll send Grandma Deng out, don't miss the time that Grandma eats."

The three girls refused to let it go, and forced Mother Deng to speak. Chu Jinmiao was afraid of being ruined by the third girl. She finally made a good impression on Mother Deng, but don't be ruined by the third girl.

Chu Jinmiao secretly pulled the sleeves of the third girl, threatening her eyes: "Sister Sister, we should go back. Grandma is looking for it."

The third girl sneered in her heart. She said: "The grandmother has the eldest sister and the fifth sister, why does the grandmother think of us?"

Grandma Deng listened and asked: "It sounds like the five girls seem to be very favored?"

Speaking of Chu Jinyao, the three girls and Chu Jinmiao secretly looked at each other, united the front, and said: "Yes, grandmother feels owed to her, and treats her very well. Our sisters can also let it go, but that's the case. She always targets the fourth sister..."

Chu Jinmiao waited for the three girls to finish before interrupting: "Sister, don't say anything, let the mother laugh."

Mother Deng knew it in her heart, and said: "It's about to pass the meal, the two girls go home quickly."

The three girls and Chu Jinmiao saluted together and watched Mother Deng leave. After Grandma Deng walked far away and couldn't hear the voice at all, the three girls pushed away Chu Jinmiao's hand and sneered: "The fourth sister is really a good way. We have clearly stated that we will form an alliance. In the end, you just carry it back like this. Want me to secretly please Grandma Deng?"

"Everyone depends on their ability." Chu Jinmiao put away his collection of poems, there was no such thing as a pitiful look on his face. She didn't bother to look at the third girl again, and turned to go out.

The three girls saw the things in Chu Jinmiao's hand with sharp eyes, and hurriedly grabbed them, "What are you? Did they secretly write to the son?"

Chu Jinmiao felt that this person was unreasonable. What kind of identity was she? How could she secretly write poems to men and do such shameless things? She stubbornly grabbed the collection of poems and refused to let it go. This was what she wanted to give to Grandma Deng and let Grandma Deng bring it to the palace and give it to the princess! How could it be snatched away by the little mother of the third girl. Seeing that Chu Jinmiao refused to let go, the three girls felt that love poems were written in them, and Chu Jinmiao wanted her to seduce the son! The three girls also used their hands vigorously, and finally, with a "stab", the collection of poems was dragged in half by them.

Chu Jinmiao stepped back uncontrollably with her hands suddenly loosened. When she stood firm, she saw that her carefully selected collection of poems had been torn up!

Chu Jinmiao was furious and shouted: "Chu Jinchan, what are you doing!"

The third girl was also flashed upright. After she stood firm, she turned over the collection of poems and said disdainfully: "It turns out to be these sour poems that hurt the spring and sadness of the autumn. You said it earlier, who should be patient to read it."

Chu Jin was trembling with anger, but the third girl still looked like he was not stingy, and said coolly: "Don't show me this way, I know what your virtue is, it's useless! Being torn apart is not a recognition. If you didn't get the words inside, you would have to copy a copy without any loss."

"You..." Chu Jin was shaking with anger. Really the wicked still needs the wicked to grind, Chu Jinmiao deliberately slandered Chu Jinyao just now, and now he is so angry that the three girls are upset. The third girl said in a weird manner: "Who asked you to eat alone with me behind your back, yeah! If it weren't for Chu Jinyao to look really good, and Sanfang's light is not a fuel-efficient lamp, who is impatient to form an alliance with you?"

Chu Jinmiao knew that it was useless to be angry with the third girl. Hearing Chu Jinyao's name, a light flashed in Chu Jinmiao's mind: "You just said, Chu Jinyao..."

.

After lunch, Chu Jinyao stayed in Baosha to write. She only wrote for a while, when she heard a noise outside, the maid said that it was the son of Huai Ling who came to greet the old lady.

Chu Jinyao thought for a while, and said, "My aunt and the others will leave tomorrow. Today, the elder son came to greet the old lady, but it was all courtesy."

"He has always been like this." Qin Yi didn't care much. He had met Lin Xiyuan several times and knew his temperament. Chu Jinyao was taken aback when she heard it. She secretly glanced at the people on both sides, lowered her voice and said, "Be quiet, there are still people around!"

Chu Jinyao can hear Qin Yi speak, naturally other people can also, so they have been very careful when there are many people. Recently, Qin Yi doesn't know what's wrong, and always restrains himself from speaking outside. Chu Jinyao feels that it's mostly because he comes out and wanders every day, slowly changing his mind, and is no longer as cautious as he was when he first came.

Sure enough, Qin Yi didn't listen, only others avoid him, there is no reason why he avoids others. Chu Jinyao couldn't help it, so he could only continue to write with his head down.

Chu Jinyao and Lin Xiyuan had an earth-shattering first meeting. Lin Xiyuan saw her not observing etiquette. Since then, Chu Jinyao has been avoiding him, even Jingan deliberately avoided. Fortunately, Lin Xiyuan is leaving, and she may never see her again. Her dark history will never be known again. Chu Jinyao will be as happy as she is.

However, I didn’t see the mountain, the mountain came to see me. Chu Jinyao was hiding in the holding mansion. Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from far and near. Chu Jinyao looked up in amazement and saw Lin Xiyuan leading a series of people to open the mansion. The curtain came in with a smile.

"Fifth cousin, why are you hiding here alone?"

Chu Jinyao was depressed and didn't want to talk.

Lin Xiyuan has always been the center of his eyes, where he is, the focus is there. Lin Xiyuan arrived in Baosha, and after a while, the Lin family's girl, Lin Xining, and the Chu family's girls all came in with their own names.

There was a sudden noisy in Baoxia, so what else to write. Chu Jinyao secretly put away the collection of poems in annoyance, forced a smile to listen to a few of them chatting.

Everyone surrounded Lin Xiyuan, and Chu Jinyao was quickly squeezed aside. Lin Xiyuan was surrounded in the center, but he still remembered that Chu Jinyao didn't answer him just now. He looked at Chu Jinyao with a smile, and said, "After a while, how did the fifth cousin get squeezed so far? It's still my fault. The fifth cousin stayed in the holding mansion by herself. I was the one who disturbed the cousin. Quiet. Cousin won't blame me, will she?"

I will, Chu Jinyao secretly scolded him for being enjoyable, but still smiled on the surface: "Why, the world is polite."

Looking at Chu Jinyao's expression, Lin Xiyuan knew that this girl was wrong. He became more amused and said: "I haven't asked yet, what is my cousin doing here?"

Seeing that Lin Xiyuan took the initiative to talk to Chu Jinyao and only talked to Chu Jinyao, the girls secretly twisted their handkerchiefs in annoyance. Chu Jinyao knew that she would never have peace now, so she sighed and said, "I'm just copying books."

"Copy books?" Lin Xiyuan was very surprised, "It turns out that my cousin is so diligent, I interrupted my cousin to work hard, don't blame the cousin."

Lin Xiyuan even stretched out his hand to make a gesture, and Chu Jinyao quickly avoided it. The other girls became more jealous when they saw it, and they talked to distract Lin Xiyuan's attention: "Cousin, I don't understand a bit about what the mother said today, can you teach me?"

Lin Xiyuan was surrounded at once, unable to get out. Chu Jinmiao silently glanced at Chu Jinyao, and a sneer flashed across his mouth. She quickly calmed down and said: "It just so happens that I want to write something, and then bring me a bookcase, I also want to write here."

When the girls heard it, they realized that it could still be like this, and they all rushed to say: "I want too!"

Mrs. Chu has always been serious, but when she saw Lin Xiyuan at the moment, she couldn't help but smile with relief: "It turned out to be the son of the elder. How did the elder think of us in the Changxing Hou Mansion? I ask the elder son to forgive me if the hospitality is not adequate."

Lin Xiyuan smiled and said: "What are you talking about, old lady? Changxing Hou Mansion is the home of Zhongming Ding's food. Along the way, your mansion's rules have kept me educated. How can it be called poor hospitality?"

Mrs. Chu laughed loudly when she was said to be so happy, she seldom smiled with the deep horoscope pattern on her lips: "The son of the world likes it."

After greeting Mrs. Chu, Lin Xiyuan saluted like Chu Zhu: "Second aunt." After finishing speaking, he smiled and nodded to Lin Xining and others: "Second brother, elder sister, second sister."

When Chu Zhu returned to her family's home, she naturally brought her children and concubines. Lin Xiyuan is the eldest son of the Royal Mansion. His second brother is Lin Xining, his elder sister is Chu Zhu's concubine Lin Baoying, and his second sister is Lin Baohuan.

The descendants of the Huailing Prince’s Mansion have been reduced too much compared to the Changxing Hou’s Mansion. The princess and the princess have only one son and a daughter, both of whom are prostitutes. They are the elder son and the county lord Lin Baozhu. The second prince is Chu Zhu’s husband-in-law. There is only one son, Lin Xining, and two daughters.

Lin Baohuan is the lovely daughter of the royal palace, and also the only daughter of the grandmother. She has been the star holding the moon since she came to Changxing Houfu, but now in front of Lin Xiyuan, Lin Baohuan dared not to be a little arrogant, and quickly bowed her head in salute: "Big Brother."

Lin Xiyuan is their eldest brother, or the eldest son of a dignified mansion. Even though he seems to have a gentle temper, Lin Baohuan knows that their eldest brother is much more than that.

The girls of the Chu family saw Lin Baohuan, who had always had eyes on top of their heads, behaved like rabbits in front of Lin Xiyuan, and they became more and more frustrated with Lin Xiyuan. Young Master Pian Pian has a distinguished family background, a handsome face, and always smiles three-pointers. Which girl doesn't like this kind of turbulent Young Master?

Lin Xiyuan stood in Rongning Hall, and that was the spotlight. The girls were all looking at Lin Xiyuan secretly. Yesterday they thought that their cousin Lin Xining was outstanding, but now that she saw the son, Lin Xining suddenly became mediocre. To put it bluntly, Lin Xining is the same as her brothers, under the guidance of the family, all gestures are expensive, but they are not much different from their peers, because everyone is like this. But Lin Xiyuan is obviously different.

Lin Xiyuan had many sights on his body, but his smile remained unchanged, his face was not stiff, as if he was born accustomed to being noticed. He talked and laughed with elders such as Mrs. Chu, Chu Zhu and other elders with a calm expression. He had a degree of advancement and retreat, and his manners were elegant.

Chu Jinmiao took a peek for a while and withdrew his gaze, but the hand on his side became tighter and tighter. This is the gap between the royal palace and the marquis. The second son will not have the brilliance of Lin Xiyuan. As long as she goes to the palace, she will have the opportunity to contact people like the county owner and the prince. If you have the opportunity to meet the eldest son, you might even see the crown prince! This has a long way to go in Changxing Houfu!

Chu Jinmiao thinks so, and the other girls are not fools. The courageous continued to peek at Lin Xiyuan secretly, with a gully heart, he already lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

Their standing posture has not changed, but the distance between the sisters has suddenly become estranged.

Mrs. Chu asked about the body of the old prince of the palace carefully. After Lin Xiyuan finished speaking, Mrs. Chu smiled and said: "The son came here today. It is really hard. Since the old man is here, we might as well stay a few more days. The two residences are in-laws, and the relationship could not have been more intimate. Your aunt, Ning brother, etc. are all there, so you can treat this as your own home and live in peace of mind. These are your cousins, you don’t need to have anything.

After Mrs. Chu said it, Lin Xiyuan turned her head and gave the girls a polite: "Hello, cousins."

Although he turned around, his eyes were vainly looking at the ground, and he did not look at the girl's face. The old lady became more satisfied after seeing it, and even Zhao and others were all smiles.

This is really a good man, with a good family background, good talents, and good character, there is really no choice.

The son spoke to them, and the girls all bowed their heads slightly, squatting over to the son in return: "Hello, cousin."

This cousin cousin is actually a bit far-fetched. But the old lady said so, and they all understood what the elders meant, so they followed it halfway and half on the spot. Chu Jinyao mixed in with the sisters, lowered his head, tried to reduce his sense of existence, and greeted Lin Xiyuan with a whisper.

There were a total of seven or eight girls in the three rooms present. These girls have different temperaments, some are free and some are not talkative, but at this moment, they are all gentle and weak, and their salutes are also the pinnacle of etiquette class. If Mother Hua is here, I don't know how emotional it will be after reading it.

Yan is shrewd, with a sharp mouth that speaks best. When she saw Lin Xiyuan, she felt that this big fish could not be let go. Seeing the current situation, she took the opportunity to step forward and smiled heartily: "It's all a family. , Cousins ​​don’t have to be so polite. It seems that this is the first time the son has come, don’t people still recognize it?"

Lin Xiyuan's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Yes. The second lady, I've introduced you to my cousins."

Old Madam Chu felt wrong when Yan Shi was speaking. Before she could stop her, she heard Lin Xiyuan actually smiled and agreed. Mrs. Chu was a little surprised. She and Madam Gu looked at each other, then sat back, intending to watch the changes.

When Yan saw that Lin Xiyuan responded, he became happier and introduced the girls enthusiastically. During the introduction, she did a little bit of verbal work, focusing on the girl in the second room, while the other room's girl was passed by with one sentence.

After hearing this, Zhao was so angry that he had liver pain, but in front of outsiders, it was very difficult to attack. When Yan pointed out in front of Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao, he shook his head and said: "These two are the fourth and fifth girls in our house. The elder son should be very familiar with the fifth girl. She just came from Pick it up outside."

This is the cunning aspect of Yan's. She introduced Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao at the same time, but Chu Jinmiao mentioned it and skipped it. Instead, she emphasized that the fifth girl had just picked it up from outside.

What kind of girl just picked it up from outside? No one would think of the reasons for being wronged, and everyone acquiesced in that it was the daughter of the outer room.

She was obviously a daughter of a prostitute but was implied by Yan to be an unscrupulous maiden, but can you say that what Yan said was wrong? Can't. After Chu Jinyao listened to it, she was impressed. In the back home, speaking was indeed a skill.

But Chu Jinyao didn't mean to correct it. She didn't have any thoughts about this elder son. The daytime was so embarrassing, she wished that the elder son would not look at her at all.

Lin Xiyuan said in his heart, he smiled and said to Chu Jinyao: "Fifth cousin is good."

After speaking, he looked straight at Chu Jinyao with smiling eyes.

Chu Jinyao lowered her eyes and did not look at each other with Lin Xiyuan. When the others saw it, although they secretly hated Chu Jinyao for getting Lin Xiyuan's individual greetings, but seeing Chu Jinyao's performance, they said a word in their hearts and turned their attention away.

Mrs. Chu also felt that Chu Jinyao was very disciplined. Although she came from a poor family, she didn't take the opportunity to play around. The rules were even better than the lady who grew up in the house. Mrs. Chu was extremely satisfied, and she had changed a lot for this granddaughter who emerged out of thin air.
