Chapter 9
Chapter 9
Chu Jinyao breathes a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she has a tie son. The jade pendant is firmly hung around her neck, otherwise something big will happen!
Chu Jinyao turned around rather unhappily to see who was frightening behind him. When she turned around, she found that she was a clean and straight childe.
The childe was obviously surprised when he saw her: "who are you and why are you here?"
"I'm the five girls in the family. What about you? Who are you?"
"Five girls?" the young childe frowned and said, "I've seen five cousins. You're not... Ah, No."
At this time, Chu Jinyao had heard: "are you the childe of my aunt's family?"
Lin Xining remembered that his grandmother mentioned in the letter that his uncle's family had the wrong daughter and had just found a five girl. It seems that this is the one in front of us.
Knowing that he had made a joke, Lin Xining bent over and bowed to Chu Jinyao: "I'm sorry, my fifth cousin. I was abrupt just now."
Chu Jinyao slightly avoided it and returned with his hands: "cousin, you don't have to."
When the misunderstanding was solved, Lin Xining felt a little sorry. He saw a strange woman walking around here, and her deeds were still very sneaky. Then he asked. If I knew it was my cousin, I wouldn't be so loud. The girls are more and more delicate. His voice is louder. What can I do if I scare these charming guests? Lin Xining wanted to compensate, so he asked, "why is my fifth cousin here?"
Chu Jinyao was a little embarrassed: "I'm lost."
Linxining suddenly, right, fifth cousin just came back, don't know this area of the road. Lin Xining said, "most of the yards here are vacant. It's really hard to identify. My cousin comes with me."
"Thank you, cousin." Chu Jinyao was so grateful that he quickly followed Lin Xining and walked out.
With Lin Xining leading the way, rongning hall will arrive soon. Chu Jinyao repeatedly thanked: "thank you, cousin, otherwise I don't know when to go around..."
Qin Yi gave a cold hum in his heart. It was clear that he brought Chu Jinyao out. The boy just took the last part of the way. Moreover, even if the Lin family doesn't show up, Chu Jinyao won't go around for a long time.
Of course, Chu Jinyao won't know these words.
Lin Xining smiled and opened the curtain for Chu Jinyao: "cousin, don't be polite. It's cold outside. Come in quickly."
"Where can I?" Lin Xining is a guest. She can't let Lin Xining play the curtain for her. Chu Jinyao said, "cousin, you go first."
The servant girl wanted to take it over. Lin Xining shook his head and said, "my cousin is a girl's family. She has a weak foundation. You go first."
Chu Jinyao was treated like this for the first time. She was flattered and came into the house. Later, Lin Xining followed and came in with Chu Jinyao.
The old lady and Chu Zhu and others were sitting in the west room talking. When they heard the sound of opening the door, the old lady said, "this is Ning Ge'er coming."
Chu Jinyao didn't dare to look up after entering the house. He immediately said, "Jinyao is late. Please forgive my grandmother and aunt."
Zhao frowned: "Why are you here now?"
All the other girls are there, but Chu Jinyao is not. Chu Zhu asked about it just now. Zhao's embarrassment is not good. Now he sees Chu Jinyao. He's really angry.
Chu Jinyao kept his greeting posture, lowered his head and said nothing. Lin Xining took the initiative to say, "it's not my cousin's fault. There are many idle yards in the east of rongning hall. I've been lost there many times before. It's inevitable that my cousin just came back. I just met my fifth cousin and brought my fifth cousin here."
Lin Xining said so. Naturally, Zhao didn't say much. Lin Xining is the only son of her younger sister-in-law or the prince of the prefecture. How dare she say others.
Old lady Chu frowned when she heard this: "who's with the five girls?"
After hearing this, rose took a hard step forward: "it's a slave."
Mother Gu leaned down and said something to old lady Chu. Old lady Chu's expression became worse and worse: "you are a second-class servant girl, and you don't even know the way?"
Mother Gu whispered, "my ancestors, our house was short of manpower years ago. She called people into the house and bought a batch of servant girls. She is here."
A new girl who can't even recognize her way into the house has become a second-class servant girl around the girl. The dignified and indifferent eyes of the old lady of Chu swept towards Zhao. Zhao quickly bowed her head and showed her posture of admitting her mistake. In front of Chu Zhu and so many young people, the old lady of Chu left face for Zhao without saying much. She just glanced at her and took back her sight. Yan stood beside him, secretly glancing over his face and smiling.
Zhao said she was stupid. She could suppress her aunt and servants in the backyard. She said she was smart. She always did something ridiculous.
The eldest girl is the eldest daughter. She was raised in front of the old lady since childhood. She is very respectable, but she is not close to the eldest girl. Parents always favor young children and girls. Yan also has children and girls. It can be understood that Zhao is devoted to doting on the four girls. But now it's said that the four girls are not her own, and she still plans to give them her heart and lungs. Is that stupid?
Yan smiled enough in his heart. Then he restrained himself from schadenfreude and said to Chu Zhu with a smile: "my aunt is blessed. Brother Ning is good-looking, filial and considerate. You will have more blessings in the future."
Chu Zhu listened to this and smiled slightly. Her eyes turned to Chu Jinyao. She looked around and asked, "today is the first time to see five girls. You just said, what's your name?"
Chu Jinyao said cautiously, "go back to my aunt. My name is Chu Jinyao."
"Yao......" Chu Zhu's eyes changed and turned to see old lady Chu. "Why don't five girls follow the generation of xian'er?"
Girls of the Chu family are named after women from the word brocade, which means taking flowers and flowers and women's virtue. Chu Jinyao's name "Yao" is the same generation as Chu Zhu.
As soon as Chu Zhu reminded me, Chu Laofu found that Chu Jinyao's name hit Chu Zhu's generation. She paused and said, "this child is also rough. She hasn't had a good life in the past 13 years. Her Yao character was given by a Taoist when she was born." the implication was that she didn't have to worry about it with a younger generation.
Chu Zhu is married after all. It's hard to meddle in the affairs of her mother's niece, not to mention that old lady Chu said so. Chu Zhu said, "I remember when I came back, four girls were always the most active. What about four girls?"
"Aunt, I'm here." Chu Jinmiao stood up and saluted Chu Zhu.
Chu Zhu pulled Chu Jinmiao and said with a smile, "you and five girls stand together and I'll have a good look at you."
Chu Jinmiao's smile stiffened. Since Chu Jinyao came, her identity has become more and more embarrassing. What she originally thought was right has become subtle. Moreover, there are many people in the big house. Chu Jinmiao can't avoid hearing some gossip. Now Chu Zhu also asked her to stand with Chu Jinyao and compare
Chu Jinyao doesn't matter. She has long been used to being seen. Chu Jinmiao almost moved in the direction of Chu Jinyao. When there were still two steps left, Chu Jinmiao refused to move forward.
There is a saying that if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods. Chu Jinmiao is the daughter of the peasant family. Her appearance is always inferior to that of the serious Miss Chu family. Now standing next to Chu Jinyao, the gap is more and more obvious. Chu Jinyao is a head higher than her. Although it is slightly dark, her facial features are at the rolling level. Chu Jinmiao's only advantage is that she is thinner than Chu Jinyao, but her thin is thin and not as comfortable as Chu Jinyao's natural body.
Qin Yi, who was quietly watching the play, felt too embarrassed.
Obviously, other ladies also felt that they tacitly did not continue the topic. Chu Zhu didn't expect that she had done something bad with kindness. She called Chu Jinmiao over and patted her hand quietly.
Chu Zhu regretfully thought that Chu Jinmiao was slimmer than Chu Jinyao and had a good temperament. At first glance, it was a child raised by a rich family, with a thin bookish spirit. The only regret is... Chu Jinyao is so much more beautiful than Chu Jinmiao. Chu Zhu is looking at Chu Jinmiao in her private heart. She can't say that Chu Jinyao is not good-looking without conscience.
Chu Zhu wanted Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao to stand together and let everyone have a look. Although Chu Jinmiao still stayed in the Hou house, her biological parents did something like that. It is inevitable that some people with shallow eyelids despised her in the Hou house. Chu Zhu did this to remind people to see what is called Miss Qianjin. The noble spirit raised by the Hou door is not comparable to that of some inexplicable village women.
As a result, I was embarrassed.
Although Chu Jinyao is the real Chu girl, for Zhao, the old lady of Chu and Chu Zhu, Chu Jinmiao is the one they grew up with. It really hurts her over the years. Leng Buding came up with Chu Jinyao, who said that they had hurt the wrong person before. Chu Jinyao is the real daughter. Chu Jinmiao is fake. Who can accept it? Chu Chu was puzzled when she received the letter.
Chu Jinyao is a real stranger to her. Chu Zhu originally thought that Chu Jinyao must be vulgar and greedy when she grew up in a farm. Once a sparrow turns into a Phoenix, she will show her greed, selfishness and love of money. Where can she compare with Chu Jinmiao, knowledgeable and reasonable?
When she met Chu Jinyao herself, Chu Zhu didn't see the picture she had expected, but Chu Zhu still felt that if she was raised in a poor family, she must be poor at root. Now she can't see it, and she must show signs in the future. Chu Zhu thought with some regret that if Chu Jinyao's face grew on Chu Jinmiao, it would be perfect.
Old lady Chu looked at this stubble silently. When Chu Zhu stopped, she said, "it's getting late. Let's set the meal."
With the old lady of Chu, there is no need to avoid the rules of different seats for men and women at the age of seven. Lin Xining accompanied the old lady to dinner with the young masters and girls of the Chu family. The old lady naturally sat in the middle. Chu Zhu and Lin Xining sat on the old lady's right hand, Chu Jinxian sat on the old lady's left hand, and Zhao's and Yan's daughters-in-law had to stand and serve their mother-in-law.
The seats on both sides of Mrs. Chu have always been the most favored people. The old lady's preference is the wind direction. Such people are also flattered in the inner house. Now Chu Zhu and Lin Xining are on one side and Chu Jinxian is on the other. Chu Jinyao can fully understand. As for herself... She's on the other table.
There are eight people sitting at a table, and several young masters are there. How can the heaviest old lady be her turn at that table
Halfway through the meal, the old lady said to Zhao and others, "you've been standing all day. Sit down and have a rest."
Zhao and others gave way once, and then put down the cloth chopsticks. Immediately, a servant girl brought a stool and waited on the three ladies.
After dinner, Chu Jinyao went back to his yard and secretly said to Qin Yi: "Today's solemn scene, we young people can sit and eat, but mother and they have to stand and make rules for cloth dishes and stand for half a meal before they can sit at the table. In this way, many people say that grandmother cares for her daughter-in-law. Obviously, they are charming guests before they get married. Why do they have to do this after they get married?"
"It's etiquette and law. There's no way." Qin Yi sighed. "Taiyuan is better. The rules in the capital are heavy. When you meet your old-fashioned mother-in-law, you have to tell you the rules for everything. That's what we call negotiation."
Qin Yi is the crown prince. Although he spent most of his time in the court, he also heard about these things. The bride's life is not easy. When he thought that Chu Jinyao would have to do the same in the future, he felt worried for her.
She's one track minded and easy to trust other people's brains. What can she do if she really meets her mean mother-in-law? He wants to mention that Chu Jinyao should pay attention to her husband's family when she gets engaged in marriage in the future, but he thinks he's a foreign man and will leave sooner or later, and the other party is her husband's family. Maybe Chu Jinyao will complain after he says it.
He'd better not get involved in such things.
Chu Jinyao thought that she would serve her mother-in-law like this in the future. She was depressed for a long time. Qin Yi saw that Chu Jinyao was too depressed, so he had to take the initiative to speak and divert her attention: "I see you secretly took a look at Lin Xining today. Are you..."
"No!" Chu Jinyao blushed and said, "what are you doing? What are you doing?"
In fact, Qin Yi is right. It's rare for women in the inner house to see men outside. Lin Xining is just the right age and beautiful. He is also the son of the prince's residence. Girls keep sneaking at him all over the banquet. Chu Jinyao saw a noble man of his age for the first time. He is still a gentle and considerate young son of Yushu Linfeng. It's normal to have a good heart and sneak a few glances.
Qin Yi snorted softly and said, "you still take advantage of me. I have been able to understand those palaces since I was ten years old... What women are thinking. Your careful thinking is not enough for them."
"I said I didn't!"
"You didn't. what are you yelling at me for?"
"You're so annoying." Chu Jinyao angrily took off the jade pendant and put it on the small table outside the shelf bed. He splashed down the curtain, "I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me."
After a while, Qin Yi said leisurely, "they're right. Women really don't make sense."
