Chapter 18
Chapter 18
Aunt Huang is favored. The three girls have been influenced since childhood and are also good at attracting men. The three girls know that she is a common woman. The old lady of Chu doesn't have to count on it. Zhao won't say good words to her. The only thing she can rely on is Changxing Hou. After all, Changxing Hou is the master of Hou's house. As long as Changxing Hou looks after her, the old lady and others dare not despise the three girls.
Seeing that she had succeeded, the three girls left the impression of diligence and hard work to Changxing Hou. They were satisfied and watched Kong leave. The next step is to persuade Changxing hou to come forward and recommend three girls to be the reading companion with old lady Chu. That's Aunt Huang's business.
After coming out, the three girls walked a lot faster. Her servant girl saw that the girl was happy and joked: "the Marquis really dotes on the girl. Today, he even said that the girl came to be the accompaniment of the county Lord."
"Elders always like to be clever and diligent. What's more, when dealing with men, it's enough to show weakness a little and pretend to be naive and unsophisticated. If my aunt helps me plan, I must get the position of companion reading." the three girls said, "It's a small thing to accompany the county leader. When I get to the palace, it's the most important to get along with the prince day and night. Then I'll try harder and work hard on the prince. Maybe I'll go to the palace for the rest of my life."
The third girl smiled when she thought about it. She was very confident in her means to win over men. She dared to say that as long as she could go to the palace smoothly, the prince would have a good impression on her, and then it would be logical to stay in the palace. It would be best to be a princess. Even if she couldn't, the side princess would be better than ordinary people. Zhao hated his aunt so much. What good would she get if her marriage fell into Zhao's hands ? she might as well fight for it herself.
The servant girl said, "what you said is true. You are so smart that you will get what you want in the future."
"Of course." Three girls are complacent. In the back house, as long as you get the right man, you'll get everything. What if the old lady doesn't like it? Old lady Chu doesn't hate her aunt's style of smoking and fawning, but who wants Changxing hou to like it? My aunt doesn't live in the back house in a beautiful and dignified way. Except for the name of a main wife, she's no different. Old lady Chu is such a powerful person. When she was young, she was very angry with the concubine's room. The three girls' living environment taught her by practice. Compared with adhering to the name of the main room and concubine's room, it's better to try hard to cling to a stronger man. After the big deal, she will win over men and compete with the main room. The three girls are very confident in their means of competing for favor.
The servant girl asked, "girl, are we still reading with a lamp tonight?"
"Who is impatient to see what?" the three girls disliked it. "It's enough to put a lamp in the east room, spread the book and put on the illusion that I'm reading. By the way, remember to tell my father tomorrow, and I'll read and practice calligraphy very late."
"Yes."
In the room of three bedrooms and six girls, the servant girl came in to add water to six girls.
"Girl, are you still watching so late?"
"If you want to choose a companion to read, you must always look diligent." the sixth girl put down her pen. She had just written a page of large characters, and her wrist was a little tired. She felt almost done, so she said, "that's all for today. I'm tired of my hands. Have a rest."
"Girl's hands are tired?" the servant girl hurriedly came over and knelt on the ground to rub her wrists for six girls. The servant girl said, "girl, you're too diligent, but your body is important in the end. If you're tired, take a break. It's not too late to see it tomorrow."
"HMM." the sixth girl whispered. She leaned back sleepily, put her hand in the servant girl's hand and asked the servant girl to massage. The sixth girl closed her eyes and thought about today's affairs in her mind.
Today, they joined forces to plot against Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao's counterattack surprised her.
Miss Liu is the only legitimate daughter of Sanfang. The third Lord was born by Aunt Yang. When the old Marquis was alive, he especially loved aunt Yang and even the third Lord was valued. When the three rooms were the most beautiful, they had better food and clothing than their eldest son, and even the old lady of Chu had to avoid the edge of Sanfang. Unfortunately, the old Marquis died, and the grand duke was the big room. The old lady of Chu immediately turned over and began to suppress aunt Yang Mother and three rooms.
In those days, the Marquis especially loved the third master, and even had the idea of passing the throne to the third room. However, his mother was still alive, and there were two legitimate brothers on her. Mrs. Chu's mother's family was not vegetarian. Under the pressure of etiquette and law, it was impossible to compete with the whole patriarchal society by relying on the power of the Marquis alone. In the end, the Marquis was left to the eldest son Chu Jing, and Mrs. Chu finally waited Here comes the opportunity to turn over for more than ten years.
As soon as the old lady of Chu took power, she immediately sold aunt Yang, and in front of everyone, she scolded Sanfang for being unruly and spending more money on food and clothing than etiquette. Sanfang made a big shame. Since then, her clothes, food, housing and transportation have plummeted, and the gold and Silver savings given by the old Marquis can't be kept.
Up to now, Sanfang has to be a man with his tail between his legs. The third master and the third wife dare not fart in front of their legitimate mother. The whole family knows that the old lady doesn't like Sanfang. The servants in the house are very snobbish. Many people dare to deduct Sanfang's expenses when they see that they are not valued. The old lady always has no sand in her eyes, but she turns a blind eye to this matter and completely acquiesces in it Yes.
Six girls unconsciously put a sarcastic smile on her lips. It is said that old lady Chu has no blood relationship with their three rooms. How can you expect old lady Chu's kindness? In the final analysis, people are selfish and hypocritical.
The three rooms are walking on thin ice outside, but the interior is very harmonious, as if the external pressure is more and more uniting them. The third master and the third wife are in harmony, and one son and one daughter are born out of wedlock. The third master has only a few rooms and no concubine room. Compared with the complex Changxing Hou in the backyard, the flirting second master and the third master are really much better.
The sixth girl is the only daughter of the third master and the third lady. She is twelve years old this year. The sixth girl closed her eyes and thought slowly. Now Changxing Hou is in good health. He also has a legitimate son under his name. Unless all the men in the big room and the second room die overnight, the third room won't have a chance to turn over. The mother looked forward to the imperial examination of her only son, the fifth young master, and soared to the sky. However, the fifth young master is only eleven now. Even if he can go to high school, it will be many years later.
In the final analysis, six girls can rely on only themselves.
"Girl?" the servant girl suddenly called. Six girls woke up from meditation. She looked at the servant girl unhappily and asked, "what's the matter?"
The servant girl shuddered, quickly bowed her head, and said, "nothing. I'm afraid the girl fell asleep, so I called."
The sixth girl took back her hand and was massaged by the servant girl for a long time. Her hand is much better. The six girls' eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and youyou said, "they are not loved by their elders. It's really difficult to walk. It seems that they can only work harder to change the situation."
"Girl?" the servant girl asked tentatively. The sixth girl looked back and said in a flat tone, "I'll study and practice hard these days. You should prepare your pen and ink in advance."
"Yes."
.
In Chaoyun hospital, Chu Jinyao has just finished writing the big characters on the third page.
Qin Yi slept and woke up to see Chu Jinyao still practicing calligraphy. He looked back at the sky and said, "have you been practicing calligraphy?"
"Yes." Chu Jinyao put down her pen, rubbed her already stiff wrist, and spread out a piece of snow-white rice paper. She has written three full pages. This is only a finished product. There are still a lot of waste paper on the way. In order to show her diligence, the third girl asked someone to keep the light in the study burning all the time. The sixth girl was cruel to let herself practice, but she felt tired after writing a page of paper and didn't want to write any more. Chu Jinmiao talked with Zhao all night and helped Zhao fight his aunt in the backyard. Only Chu Jinyao has really practiced all night and has not rested until now.
Even Qin Yi sighed: "there's no need to be in such a hurry. Rome wasn't built in a day. You don't have to force yourself like this." Chu Jinyao's Kung Fu is comparable to that of the students in the scientific examination.
"No." Chu Jinyao shook her head. "I didn't have a chance to write before. I'm much worse than my sisters. If I don't work hard, I deserve to be laughed at. I'll write another page. If you're tired, take a rest first."
Qin Yi looked at it for a while and sighed silently. He suddenly said, "I used to worry about you, but now it seems that wherever you go in the future, you will live a good life."
"Really?" Chu Jinyao was surprised, smiled, looked up from the paper and looked at Qin Yi.
Under the light, Chu Jinyao's eyes were almost shining. Qin Yi also smiled and said softly, "really."
Chu Jinyao chuckled: "I think so. As long as I think of going to a completely strange family life in the future, I feel frightened, but I think it's nothing to have you with me."
Qin Yi was silent for a moment and said, "Chu Jinyao, have you ever thought that if one day I'm gone?"
Hearing this, Chu Jinyao suddenly couldn't speak.
In fact, she thought about it. Although Qin Yi appeared in her jade pendant for some reason, Qin Yi could do almost anything. Chu Jinyao didn't think that the other party could stay with her for such a strange person with unknown origin but very good understanding of the world. She thought it was heaven's love that she could meet Qin Yi. When this day came, she could only wish Qin Yi to fly away and go to a higher level.
"If there is such a day, Qi Ze, you must tell me earlier." Chu Jinyao regretted it again as soon as the words were spoken, "No, you'd better not tell me. I know it's painful in vain. You see, you will have so many things. What belongs to you is the broad sky outside, not me, a housewife who can only see a small piece of sky. You will be very good in the future. I will bless you all the time."
Qin Yi didn't speak. This was the first time they talked about this topic. Qin Yi thought about it many times. He would leave sooner or later. He reminded Chu Jinyao earlier to prepare her for it, which was for her good. However, when he really mentioned this topic, Qin Yi didn't like it. He didn't like the heavy atmosphere at the moment.
"Forget it, it's still far away. We'll discuss it later." Qin Yi sighed.
Chu Jinyao didn't listen to Qin Yi's words as before. She untied the complex and took out the jade pendant. The jade was transparent and delicate. The quality of the jade was excellent. The red catkins in the jade were like blood. Chu Jinyao looked at it for a long time and said, "look, Qize, there are few red catkins in the jade."
Qin Yi didn't answer for some reason. Chu Jinyao didn't care about his indifference and continued, "we don't know what will happen after all the red catkins disappear. But I don't want to bet. I don't want you to take this risk."
After a while, she said with difficulty, "let's find a way."
