Since Qin Yi was able to appear in Taiyuan unnoticed, he didn't plan to alert others, and informed Lin Xiyuan because Qin Yi needed to settle in the Huailing Palace, which was inevitable.
Most of Qin Yi's trip has been done, and it's time to prepare for the return trip. With so many people guarding the border, it was impossible for him to leave for too long.
After Lin Xiyuan was sent away, Xiao Linzi asked, "Prince Prince, are we ready to go back now?"
"Yes." Qin Yi said, "This time I'm just here to meet, and some will come again in the future. Instead, it's Datong. I don't know if these Tartars are really scared of being beaten or are pretending to be grandchildren. It's not good to leave for too long. I Gotta go back and watch."
Xiao Linzi responded and prepared to hurry. He was busy for a while, but was suddenly called back by Qin Yi.
"Prince Prince, what else do you order?"
"It's nothing." Qin Yi paused and asked casually, "What did she say to you when you took someone out today?"
What? Xiao Linzi thought about it for a while, and then he guessed that the prince was asking about the girl he met at the palace of Huailing County today. Xiao Linzi felt vigilant in his heart. The prince deserved to be a strategist and thoughtful natural general. He even remembered such a small episode, and he must personally investigate the danger before he could feel at ease. Thinking like this, Xiao Linzi's admiration for the prince came spontaneously, and he said, "That girl Chu doesn't seem to have other intentions. She looks like a boudoir girl, and she can't even tell the road clearly."
Xiao Linzi seemed to suddenly think of something funny and couldn't help but smile and said, "Speaking of which, this girl Chu is very funny. Today, she happened to see the prince going out, and she asked..."
Xiao Linzi stopped abruptly, and Qin Yi raised his head: "Why stop?"
Xiao Linzi hesitated, telling the truth, isn't this looking for scolding? But before Xiao Linzi could come up with an excuse, he heard Qin Yi calmly put out a word: "Speak."
Xiao Linzi didn't dare to say anything anymore, and answered honestly: "When Miss Chu saw His Highness, she asked me, do you think that is a person."
When he said this, he knew it was going to be bad, and Xiao Linzi lowered his head and couldn't bear to face it. But after waiting for a while, he didn't see the prince convicted, Xiao Linzi looked up in surprise, and found that their prince was holding his finger between his eyebrows and was laughing silently.
What are you laughing at? Xiao Linzi was very at a loss.
Qin Yi managed to stop laughing, but even so, his eyes were still full of smiles, like starlight, bright and attractive. Xiao Linzi looked at Qin Yi in a daze, but saw a cold light from the corner of Qin Yi's eyes: "What are you still doing? Prepare for the return trip."
Xiao Linzi woke up like a dream, and quickly lowered his head and replied, "Hey, obey."
At the back door of the Huailing Palace, a group of men and horses came silently, and also left silently. At the same time, the carriage outside the hanging flower gate had just stopped, and the leading horse snorted out of boredom.
Zhao Shi brought a few girls into the car, her face was ashen, but she didn't say a word along the way.
Yan shi was waiting outside, and when he saw Zhao shi come out, he wanted to ask the old princess what was wrong with calling her in, but seeing Zhao shi's face, Yan wisely shut up.
Anyway, when you get home, everything will be known.
It got dark early in winter, and they left late on their return trip today. By the time they arrived at the Marquis of Changxing, the sky was already dark.
However, the Zhao family did not let the girls go back to rest, but went straight to Mrs. Chu.
Mrs. Chu was leaning on the Luohan bed and closed her eyes, when she heard the voice, she opened her eyelids slightly, and saw that Zhao Shi came back with five girls angrily.
Madam Chu frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
Yan shi took the seventh girl and stood on one side, clearly distinguishing between them, and drew a line with the other people. Today these few are making a fuss, but the seven girls in their family are not involved at all, and Yan's expression is not without pleasure showing a good show.
Zhao shi was going to be pissed off all the way, even if she only heard a general idea, it was not difficult to guess that Chu Jinyao disappeared outside for a long time, and Chu Jinmiao and the third girl appeared in a remote yard for no reason. In the middle, he was also caught by the prince. Five people went out today, and all the troublemakers were girls from the big house! Zhao Shi's face was about to be lost.
Chu Jinmiao knew that she was not good, and cried with Zhao all the way. She cried constantly, pitiful and helpless, Zhao finally relented, and Chu Jinmiao took advantage of this opportunity to make up a speech for herself.
Chu Jinmiao sang and sang, gradually stunned Zhao. Now in front of the old lady, Mrs. Zhao said, "Miao'er, come out and tell mother what happened today."
Chu Jinmiao's scalp went numb, Old Madam Chu was not easy to fool, not to mention that there were still a few other people standing there, and using the same rhetoric that was given to Mrs. Zhao, I wonder if they could fool her. But now, Chu Jinmiao has no other choice. She walked forward slowly, wished Madam Chu a blessing, and said, "Say hello to grandma, today's affairs are like this."
Chu Jinmiao glanced at the third girl quietly, and found that the other party's eyes were erratic, but she refused to look at her. Chu Jinmiao secretly hated in her heart that this treacherous little girl was raised by her, and she was really the same as her mother. Chu Jinmiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and lie to herself: "Today in the flower hall, I saw the fifth sister go out for a long time. I was worried that the fifth sister would encounter an accident and would wear down the family's reputation, so I went out to look for her. I heard a servant girl say that the fifth sister was there. In this yard to change clothes, I quickly called the three girls and rushed out together. When we arrived, we happened to encounter a servant who was walking out, and we felt that something was wrong, so we stopped immediately, and while we were pulling, the prince came. "
Chu Jinmiao didn't say hello, and immediately brought the three girls with her. The third girl cursed in her heart, but in front of so many people, she had to cover for Chu Jinmiao: "Yes, that's it."
Chu Jinmiao continued: "Actually, the sixth sister ran over first and pulled us to say some inexplicable words, and then the Shizi came in. I don't know why, but the sixth sister was sure that the fifth sister was in the same room. You know, we didn't When opening the door, even the prince seemed to be invited by the sixth sister. We were puzzled, and then we opened the door unintentionally and found that there was no one inside. We were even more confused. After a while, we were invited by the princess and the old princess. That's all I know. As for what the sixth and fifth sisters are playing, I don't understand at all."
Chu Jinyao glanced at Chu Jinmiao coldly. This person really knows how to say, after such a prevarication, Chu Jinmiao actually shirks the responsibilities on her body. It is really a lotus flower that emerges from the mud and is not stained. However, it was obvious that Chu Jinmiao also had a brain. She knew that she was wrong, and that she had not succeeded in plotting against Chu Jinyao. Now she did not dare to bite Chu Jinyao. Mrs. Chu hated the grandmother of Miss Six, and now Chu Jinmiao blamed the misfortune on Miss Six, and secretly instigated Mrs. Chu to take out Miss Six. I have to say that this is really a feasible way.
Madam Chu's eyes turned heavily on Miss Six, who did not panic, she lowered her face slightly, and said softly and meekly, "Fourth Sister, I have no threat to you, why do you have to push me out to take the blame? Today five My sister was splashed with water for no reason, and she was taken out to change clothes by that little maid. I saw that since the fifth sister went out, you and the third sister have been looking at each other and talking in low voices. Sister, I want to tell her not to worry about what to wear. It’s important to come back first. But it was too late when I chased out. Only then did I know that Fifth Sister was led to another yard."
The sixth girl looked at Chu Jinmiao, her voice was weak, but the dark light in the middle made Chu Jinmiao tremble: "Fourth sister, that is not the yard where the palace is prepared to change the girls' clothes, we only found it after someone pointed the way. , how about you? You and the third sister, why did you find it there without any obstruction?"
Chu Jinmiao immediately bit back: "How do I know? Can't I be guided by someone? Besides, it is the Huailing Palace, and the servants are well-trained. Even if I have the ability to reach the sky, I can still Buying the servants of the palace, can't you set up a bureau in the palace?"
The sixth girl smiled meaningfully, bowed her head and said nothing, Chu Jinmiao suddenly realized that she was being caught.
It is indeed difficult for Chu Jinmiao to buy the servants of the palace and let them do things for her, but another person can.
Even Zhao shi also thought of this person, Chu Zhu. What's more, Lin Xining.
Madam Chu understood completely, she sneered neither lightly nor seriously, her voice was obviously not loud, but she was so frightened that the maidservants in the room thumped and knelt down, and even Chu Jinmiao was taken aback.
Mrs. Chu said slowly, "You, all of you are really good. You deserve to be the girls of my Chu family."
The old lady's words were full of irony, and the sixth girl lowered her head and replied softly, "Don't dare".
Old Madam Chu's gloomy eyes swept over them, and finally settled on Chu Jinyao: "Five girls, you are the party involved. Tell me what's going on?"
Chu Jinyao said unhurriedly: "The previous part is not bad as the sixth girl said. I was sitting in the flower hall of the county owner to rest, and suddenly a little maid spilled tea on me and volunteered to take me to change clothes. I really couldn't refuse, so I had to follow. Halfway through the road, I found that the route she was leading was wrong, so I asked a few questions. I didn't expect that it would be better if I didn't ask. As soon as I asked, she immediately became angry and came to forcibly pull me. Go. Of course I refused, so I got rid of her and went back by myself. Unfortunately, when I went back, I took a different path and went around for several times before I met a young servant named Lin in green clothes. He was the one who sent me out. Yes. After I went back, I found out that the fourth, third and sixth girls were not there, and when the old princess asked us to ask questions, I found out that they all gathered in a remote courtyard."
As for the purse loss, there are many people here, and Chu Jinyao didn't mention it. She has a clear conscience herself, but she is afraid of being heard by someone with a heart and will make a fuss in the future. Anyway, she has already found the thing, and the heart of defense is indispensable, so it is better for her to hide it.
Madam Chu was relieved when she heard that Chu Jinyao was not taken away, and that the clothes were well worn on her body, and there was no sign of changing at all. Thanks to Chu Jinyao's vigilance, women's famous festivals really can't be sloppy.
Since Chu Jinyao was not in the middle of the plot, the next thing was extremely simple. Mrs. Chu looked at the remaining few people with bad eyes. Did she really think she was confused and wanted to deceive her by relying on some specious words? Mrs. Chu was already quite sure that the person who set up the bureau was Chu Jinmiao, and the three girls were generally helpers, but it was the sixth girl, who was probably the one who hid the most.
If it was normal, Madam Chu would definitely let the three of them walk around without food. What if she didn't have any evidence? She was sent to the younger generation by Madam Chu, and she still needed evidence? But at the moment of choosing a partner and reading, Mrs. Chu really didn't want to make too much noise. If others felt that the girls in their house were not strict, but instead took advantage of the situation and came from behind, it would not be worth the loss. What's more, the old lady also knows that choosing a companion to read is just a cover up, and what really matters is the matter of the prince behind the selection of a concubine.
At this juncture, it is not a good thing for any girl to have a bad reputation.
Chu Jinyao saw that Mrs. Chu had not spoken for a long time, her expression seemed to be considering, she thought badly, and immediately said: "Four girls, I still don't know something, in front of the old princess and the princess today, why do you suspect that I am here? The whereabouts in the garden? Do you know that the prince also passed by the garden?"
When Old Madam Chu heard this, her eyes widened immediately: "Is there any other matter?"
"Yes." Chu Jinyao lowered her head and said, "Princess Princess asked me a few more questions for this. Fortunately, I finally understood it."
When Madam Chu looked at Chu Jinmiao again, her eyes were very different.
It turned out to be so, she said, how dare Chu Jinmiao dare to set up a bureau in someone else's mansion. It turned out that Chu Jinmiao didn't intend to set her on Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinmiao's purpose was to destroy Chu Jinyao's evaluation in the hearts of the two princesses of the palace.
Old Madam Chu looked at Chu Jinmiao and sneered, the ground broke on Tai Sui's head, she really didn't know how high the sky was. Chu Jinmiao was stunned by Madam Chu's eyes. She was fine. What happened to Madam Chu?
Chu Jinmiao didn't know that she had stepped on Madam Chu's back. In the eyes of Mrs. Chu, the honor and interests of the Hou Mansion are paramount. She is willing to turn to Chu Jinyao because Chu Jinyao is the only person who is suitable to be a prince. If there is no such barrier, Chu Jinyao is in the eyes of Mrs. Chu. Just an ordinary granddaughter. But now, Chu Jinmiao was trying to destroy the avenue to the sky, the imperial concubine.
It turned out that Old Madam Chu was deliberately selfish because the reputation of the family was more important than the truth, but if Chu Jinmiao stretched out her hand to the family's interests and tried to harm the family's selfish interests, then she could not blame the old Madam for turning her face and ignoring her.
Chu Jinyao mentioned a few words lightly, and when she saw the old lady's expression changed, she stopped in satisfaction and continued to stand aside to watch the play.
If you dare to do bad things, don't be afraid to bear the consequences.
Madam Chu stretched out her hand and asked her maid to sit up with her. The severity of today's farce was completely different in the old lady's mind, and the punishment measures she had just thought of were naturally overturned.
Mrs. Chu said, "Chu Jinmiao, you deliberately didn't speak clearly. You are guilty of murdering your sister's reputation?"
At that time, Chu Jinmiao had a buzzing sound in her head, murdering her sister's reputation, which was a serious crime that could be exiled from the family temple. How could the old lady treat her like this?
Zhao Shi also stood up in shock: "Mother!"
"Shut up!" Madam Chu slapped her hand on the table, and the anger in her voice made people dare not look up. Mrs. Chu said, "I have no room for you to intervene when I deal with the younger generation. Chu Jinmiao, I warned you last time, how did you promise me at that time? Now that you dare to do it again, you are getting more and more courageous. "
Chu Jinmiao was trembling with fright. She didn't care about maintaining her dignity among her sisters, so she quickly knelt on the ground and crawled towards the old princess: "Grandma, I'm wronged! You can't just wrong me just because of her one-sided words, why am I? I don't even know! It's really not good, you go to the evidence, if someone can prove that I'm a ghost, you punish me again, I have no complaints."
"That's right, mother, you can't be so hasty." Zhao shi was only worried now, and the anger towards Chu Jinmiao on the way had long been thrown away. Although Zhao felt that Chu Jinmiao's words were flickering, and it was difficult to justify it in many places, but how old was Chu Jinmiao, in Zhao's heart, her daughter just likes to be petty, and she loves to fight for favor. This is not a big problem. How can this be punished? As for the bigger bad thing, how could she be a little girl?
Zhao Shi also mournfully pleaded for Chu Jinmiao. Now that there is no evidence, how can Chu Jinmiao be charged with such a serious crime?
evidence? Mrs. Chu thought it was ridiculous. The master didn't need evidence to sell the servants, and the elders didn't need any evidence to sell the juniors. Madam Chu made up her mind, no longer cared about how Chu Jinmiao cried, and said coldly, "You are a girl, and your father can't discipline you, so I can only be a grandmother. It takes a lot of thought. It is said that if I indulge you again, I will really harm you. After the New Year, I will find a clean meditation room and let you go to the Bodhisattva. Be quiet and cultivate your temperament. ."
When Chu Jinmiao heard these words, her face lost all blood, and she sat crooked on the ground. Zhao Shi almost fainted: "Mother, you are the ancestor of the family, how can you be so partial?"
Sent to the temple for a rest... Chu Jinyao did not expect that Madam Chu's punishment would be so severe. Chu Jinyao had a faint feeling that if Chu Jinmiao had another next time, I'm afraid she would just send it away.
Mrs. Chu's gaze shifted to the other people. The sixth girl lowered her head slightly, while the third girl was already so frightened, she knelt down with a plop: "Grandma, spare your life! I also have my aunt and brother, and I care deeply about my family. I can't bear to leave my family and go to the temple. Grandmother, please forgive me this time for the sake of my aunt and brother!"
The old lady paused for a while and said, "You are not the mastermind of Zhou's abuse, but you cannot be exempted from responsibility. For the sake of Aunt Huang's family, you may not go to the temple, but you must do your homework. These few Yue, you stay at home for the time being to repent of your merits and sins, copy scriptures and pray every day, eat fasting and recite Buddha, and do all the activities in the temple together to clean up, don’t neglect!”
The third girl was greatly relieved, as long as she could stay at home and eat fast and recite Buddha's words, it was nothing but a few months of ascetic practice. The third girl quickly kowtowed and thanked her. Madam Chu looked at the sixth girl and said, "I heard what you just said, so do you."
Six girls frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Grandma, what did I do wrong, why should I punish me together?"
Six girls are sure that she has not left any flaws. The plan was formulated by Chu Jinmiao, with the help of the three girls. She just saw through their plan and guided them appropriately. But in the end, Mrs. Chu has no evidence to show that Miss Six also knew about it and participated in it.
What she did was flawless, why did Mrs. Chu punish her? It is no joke to eat fast and recite Buddha for several months.
Madam Chu glanced at Miss Liu casually, and easily guessed Miss Six's thoughts. It's true that Miss Six did not leave any traces, but so what? The elders dislike someone, and if they want to punish someone, they still need evidence. Mrs. Chu said lightly: "You are not convinced by my decision and want to disobey the elders?"
The sixth girl took a breath and bit her lip hard, but in the end, she could only bow her head and said bitterly, "I don't dare. What my grandmother said is naturally right."
"You are all girls from the Chu family, and you are both prosperous and damaged. If the reputation of the Marquis of Changxing is damaged, which one of you will win? The family should be on the same page, but you are fighting each other. Five girls, seven girls, The two of you can't be exempted from responsibility, and you will copy the female ring ten times after you go back."
Chu Jinyao agreed without any objection. The seventh girl was very dissatisfied, and Yan Shi also felt that their second room did not participate in anything, so why should they be punished together? But the other girls who went out were punished not lightly. If they were unscathed, it would be unreasonable. So the old lady could only punish Chu Jinyao and the seventh girl together for the sake of face.
Both Chu Jinyao and Yan's were well aware of this, and Yan's saw that Chu Jinyao responded obediently, and did not dare to pick on it now, and bowed his head and acquiesced. Copying books is nothing, there is a lot of water in it. On the contrary, if Madam Chu is displeased again, she will shoot herself in the foot.
Madam Chu was satisfied, and she said, "Okay, this time the small punishment and the big punishment, if you dare to fight in the nest again, the next time the punishment will not be so light."
The people in the room responded in unison, and the sixth girl, the third girl, Yan Shi and others stepped back one after another. Before Chu Jinyao went out, she turned around and glanced at the Nuan Pavilion.
Chu Jinmiao was still kneeling on the ground and crying, and the Zhao family kept begging for the old lady to be accommodating.
Chu Jinyao sighed in his heart that there is indeed a huge gap between the biological blood and the non-biological ones. The third girl is a concubine, and the sixth girl is still the daughter of a concubine, but when they are punished, it is enough to just stay at home and copy books and recite the Buddha. Although this is punishment, it has a greater meaning of vigilance, and it may be released at some time. But Chu Jinmiao was thrown out of the house and went to the nunnery to suffer the crime.
The old lady said that she didn't care about blood, and treated Chu Jinmiao and other girls the same. But looking at her performance, is this really the same?
Chu Jinyao sighed and left by herself. Although there were still some tails that were not pulled out, now is obviously not the time to mention this to the old lady. After finding time, it will not be too late to talk to the old lady alone. On the contrary, it was Chu Jinmiao, who only deserved two words for her.
Chu Jinmiao only felt that she was pitiful, but when she hurt others, why didn't she think that others were pitiful?
The sins committed by God can be forgiven, but the sins committed by oneself cannot be lived. Dare to do bad things, don't be afraid of the serious consequences of failure. Chu Jinyao would not be soft-hearted and pity Chu Jinmiao because of this.
The New Year is approaching, and before everyone can react, the New Year is here. The second day of the new year was the day when the married daughter returned to her parents' home. Chu Jinxian returned home early with gifts and her husband.
It's just New Year's, and there's a lot of joy everywhere. When the servants of the Marquis of Changxing saw the person coming, they all shouted with a smile, "Auntie is back!"
Chu Jinxian nodded and smiled, and followed her husband Zhao Jiazhi in. Zhao Jiazhi is the nephew of Zhao's family, and now he has kissed him again, and he and Chu Jinxian have become husband and wife, so the people in the Marquis of Changxing are naturally more affectionate towards him.
When the couple returned to their parents' home, the first person to visit was, of course, Mrs. Chu. The second day of the first year was a lively time. Old Madam Chu's house was full of people, talking and laughter could be heard from far away. Chu Jinyao was also here with the old lady. When she saw Chu Jinxian, she quickly waved her hand.
Naturally, Chu Jinxian saw it too. She sat with Madam Chu and turned around to the outside when no one was paying attention.
Chu Jinyao also followed, she ran up in three steps and two steps, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are back! Are you okay at Zhao's house?"
Since Chu Jinxian got married, this is the second time she has returned home except for the three-day return. Chu Jinxian was very excited when she finally saw her relatives, but when she heard Chu Jinyao's question, Chu Jinxian's expression froze for a while.
Chu Jinyao found out immediately, her heart sank uncontrollably: "Eldest sister?"
"It's okay." Chu Jinxian held Chu Jinyao's hand and said, "This is not the place to talk, you come with me."
The two of them returned to the house where Chu Jinxian lived before she left the court. After Chu Jinxian got married, the yard was not distributed to others, but was kept, and a maid came in to clean it on time. The surrounding furnishings were also indistinguishable, as if Chu Jinxian never left.
Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao sat by the window, and the maid put hot tea between them. Through the mist, Chu Jinyao asked, "Sister, how is your in-law's family treating you?"
Chu Jinxian didn't look sad or happy, and said very plainly: "It's okay."
Chu Jinyao frowned and wanted to ask, but Chu Jinxian stopped her: "This is how a bride joins her in-law's family. Every day at dawn, she goes to serve her mother-in-law's dressing and meals, and she is in front of her mother-in-law during the day. Make a rule, one stop is a day, all the brides in the world are like this. I am already very good, my mother-in-law is my aunt, and I am not too embarrassed by my grandmother. My cousin and I have known each other since childhood. They won't bring me back some inexplicable people. Because my grandmother is sympathetic, she often asks me to come over and talk. It should have been a day's rule, but it has become a half-day. "
Chu Jinyao's eyes widened when she heard it. Chu Jinxian, a dignified and Shuxian person, went to her in-law's house and wanted to do this. What about other people? Just can't imagine. Chu Jinyao sighed and was afraid of the future: "Sister, why do women want to marry?"
After getting married, no matter how kind-hearted the mother-in-law is, she is an outsider who has nothing to do with it. Except for the dowry, the bride can be said to be alone and join someone else's family. Wouldn't it be better not to marry, to stay in your own home for the rest of your life, and to serve your parents?
Chu Jinxian was at a loss for words. After a while, she sighed: "Don't think about these things, this is the fate of a woman. Except for the princess, no woman in the world can avoid this. Instead, you, How are you at home this time?"
Having said this, Chu Jinyao also sighed: "The family is also troubled..."
Chu Jinxian slowly raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
Chu Jinyao went to the palace of Huailing County some time ago as a guest, the third girl and Chu Jinmiao bought the servants of the palace to play tricks, and the sixth girl set up the middle game, and roughly relayed it to Chu Jinxian. Chu Jinyao only talked about the girls in his family, the matter of the prince's palace, and the strange servant named Lin, but Chu Jinyao didn't mention it.
The more Chu Jinxian listened, the tighter her brows became: "How dare they be so presumptuous? They even stretched out their hands to the Prince's Mansion, and humiliated them and threw them into the homes of outsiders."
Chu Jinxian was very angry, but her upbringing dictated that no matter how angry she was, she couldn't say a single word too much. Chu Jinxian calmed down for a while and asked, "What did grandma say?"
"My grandmother was also furious. She asked Chu Jinmiao to go to the nunnery for a few days to clean up and cultivate her temperament. The third and sixth girls helped Zhou and was punished to copy books and read sutras at home."
With such a punishment, it can be said that the difference can be seen at a glance, and Chu Jinxian showed a clear expression. Madam Chu is the old head of the Chu family after all, even if she decides to keep Chu Jinmiao and says that she will treat Chu Jinmiao equally, what kind of treatment Chu Jinmiao used to be treated now, but after all, her own flesh and blood are different from those of outsiders.
Even if the third girl and the sixth girl made a mistake, framed the sisters in the same house, and brought shame to the family, but they still lived at home when they were punished, and they would not go outside as publicized. But Chu Jinmiao... To put it bluntly, she has no surname Chu, which really annoys the old lady. Who will consider your reputation and future?
Madam Chu is really rational and indifferent. After all, Chu Jinmiao had been raised in front of her for thirteen years, and when she learned that this was not her own bloodline, she could give up immediately.
Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao looked at each other and sighed. After a while, Chu Jinxian said, "Since grandma sent her outside, she won't bother you anymore, and you don't have to worry about her anymore. By the way, grandma What would your mother say to Chu Jinmiao like this?"
Chu Jinyao shook her head and said, "Mother has been unhappy these past few days, and she didn't even have a smile on her face during the New Year's Eve."
This... Chu Jinxian also frowned, very embarrassed: "She and Chu Jinmiao's mother and daughter will be hurt, and it is inevitable. Well, it happens to be close to mother's yard, I will take you to mother's place to have a look. ."
Before Chu Jinxian got married, she lived in Zhao's house, Chu Jinxian in the east and Chu Jinmiao in the west. After Chu Jinyao was found, the Zhao family didn't want to move others, so they sent Chu Jinyao to Chaoyun Courtyard in the northeast corner. Now that Chu Jinxian is married, the East Cross Courtyard is vacant, but Chu Jinyao doesn't want to move here anymore, and the Zhao family has not mentioned it.
Now come out of Chu Jinxian's yard, pass through the chasing veranda, cross the corner door and enter Zhao's courtyard. Mammy Zhang was just about to go out when she saw Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao approaching.
Linglong behind Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "Mother Zhang, it's time to change your name to Auntie."
Mammy Zhang smiled and patted her mouth lightly: "I'm so confused, auntie, fifth girl, it's cold outside, come inside!" After speaking, Mammy Zhang shouted into the room: "Madam, auntie and five girls are here."
Mammy Zhang thought very well. Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao are Zhao's biological daughters. Zhao's family has been unhappy for the past two days. When she sees the two daughters coming together, she will be very happy.
Sitting in the inner room, Mr. Zhao's face was pale, his eyelids were swollen, and he looked very lethargic. The front windows were all closed, there was no sunlight in the room, charcoal was still burning in the corner, and the surrounding maids were also dead, making people feel dull as soon as they came in.
Chu Jinxian frowned and said, "Why don't you open the window to let in the ventilation? Who are you showing this look to during the Chinese New Year?"
The maids didn't dare to look up because of Chu Jinxian's words. When Zhao saw them, she cheered up and said, "You guys are here."
Chu Jinyao wished Zhao's blessings, and for a while, Zhao's was sitting on the top, and the two of them stood on the ground, relatively speechless.
Mammy Zhang didn't expect the scene to be so deserted, so she quickly moved round stools for Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao, and also arranged for a little maid to place melons and fruits.
Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao sat down, and there were people walking back and forth in front of them, and there was some popularity in the room.
Mammy Zhang gestured to Mrs. Zhao: "Madam, it's rare for the aunt to come home. Wouldn't you like to talk to the aunt?"
Zhao Shi also felt that this was not good, but when she thought of Chu Jinmiao, she was immediately dull. Zhao Shi tried her best to cheer up and asked Chu Jinxian about something in Zhao's house.
The Zhao family is also the natal family of the Zhao family. Because Chu Jinxian is married, the juniors always visit the elders. There is no reason to go back. So this year, the Zhao family did not go back to the family. Instead, Chu Jinxian took the eldest young master of the Zhao family. Come back and pay New Year's greetings to Zhao. In fact, even if there is no Chu Jinxian, I am afraid that the Zhao family is not in the mood to go back to her parents' house.
Chu Jinxian told Mrs. Zhao the recent situation of her mother-in-law and great-grandmother. Mrs. Zhao finally cheered up when she heard the news of her mother. Zhao shi has basically finished asking about the newly married daughter, and she has nothing to say for a while. She has to turn her head and ask Chu Jinyao: "I heard that you are going to send Mammy Sun away?"
"Yes." Chu Jinyao knew that the Zhao family was going to ask about this matter, and she replied, "Mamma Sun is getting old and a new grandson has been added to the family. My daughter thinks it's not good to hinder others from enjoying human relations, so she decides. , let Mammy Sun be sent back to the countryside."
Mammy Sun was originally the one who forcibly shoved her beside Chu Jinyao after hearing Chu Jinmiao's instigation. Ever since Grandma Sun came to Chu Jinyao's yard, she was arrogant and arrogant, and her heart was still turned to the outside, how could Chu Jinyao keep her? In this incident in the palace, Sun mama secretly moved her hands and feet on Chu Jinyao's purse, and cooperated with Chu Jinmiao's maid, she secretly took Chu Jinyao's purse.
This is no longer a simple matter of eating inside and out. It is not an exaggeration to steal the boudoir girl's belongings with outsiders. After all, Chu Jinyao gave Zhao's face, and let Mammy Sun be beaten severely, confiscated all the gold and silver items that she had been ignorant of over the years from Mama Sun's house, and then sent her son to pick it up. She returns home. The Marquis of Changxing could no longer keep such a woman.
Mammy Sun cried and refused to leave, but this time Mammy Sun did something different than before, Chu Jinyao reported to Mrs. Chu long ago. She's just a woman, Old Madam Chu doesn't care about it at all, so it's up to Chu Jinyao to deal with it. Seeing that Chu Jinyao didn't want to eat, it was useless to find someone to ask grandpa to tell grandma in private. Grandma Sun was completely panicked, so she had to come to Zhao.
Zhao's anger has been uneasy these days, and she feels annoyed when she sees everything, and Chu Jinyao still treats her people like this. Even if Grandma Sun made a mistake, Chu Jinyao should come to ask Zhao to punish him. In the end, without saying a word, Chu Jinyao beat the nurtured nanny sent by her mother, and arrogantly wanted to send it out of the house.
Zhao shi said with a sullen face: "Even if there is something wrong with what Mammy Sun did, you should come and ask me. You will send Mammy away on your own initiative. In your heart, do you still have my mother?"
Chu Jinxian frowned: "Mother, she's just a servant girl."
"Even if it's just a servant girl, it's a person bestowed by the elders. When you grow up so much, have you ever seen any younger generation who dares to give up the nurturing mama given by the elders?"
Chu Jinxian was speechless, but Chu Jinyao couldn't help but say: "She secretly moved on my purse, how could she be qualified to be a nanny? This old woman is disrespectful and has a vicious mind. hit her?"
Linglong also persuaded: "Madam, the fifth girl is right. Although she respects the old and loves the young, but since the grandson does not respect the old, how can you ask the fifth girl to respect her as before?"
Zhao's eyes swept across Linglong, Mama Gong, and Chu Jinxian, and finally fell on Chu Jinyao. Of course, Mrs. Zhao recognized it. The girl who spoke was rewarded by the old lady. Also, Chu Jinyao had a decent person lined up by the old lady next to Chu. Why should she care about her mother?
Chu Jinxian is like this, and even Chu Jinyao is like this now! These two girls said that they crawled out of her stomach, but they all had their hearts on Madam Chu! The Zhao family was so angry that her eldest daughter was taken away as soon as she was born, and her son was the heir of the family. Over the years, there has been only one Chu Jinmiao by Zhao's side. The two of them depended on each other for life. Seeing that Chu Jinmiao gradually grew up, they would not be able to stay by her side for a long time, but even so, Madam Chu still had to send Chu Jinmiao away?
What did she do wrong to be scolded by her mother-in-law like this? Not even her children are with her. The Zhao family didn't dare to expect anything else. She didn't even expect Chu Jinxian and the second young master to be close to her mother. She just wanted Chu Jinmiao, who was not a daughter but a daughter, to spend the last time by her side. It's just a boudoir time, isn't that okay?
Zhao's eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears. She said to Chu Jinyao: "It was my fault that I left you out, why did you take your anger on Miao'er? She just likes being cute and strong, and she likes being petty, so why do you always bite her. It's my own daughter, and the other is my daughter who I have raised for thirteen years, so why can't we get along like sisters?"
Chu Jinyao was a little surprised, but in addition to the surprise, there was a sense of relief that finally came. She knew that when Chu Jinmiao was punished outside the mansion, the Zhao family would definitely put the account on her. Chu Jinyao said, "It's my grandmother's decision, and there's nothing I can do about it."
"If it wasn't for what you said in front of the old lady, how could Miao'er end up in this field?" Zhao Shi slapped the table angrily. Mrs. Zhao still remembers that Madam Chu was planning to make matters smaller at that time, but Chu Jinyao added a sentence at this moment, and the old Madam was provoked and furious, so she severely punished Chu Jinmiao. Mrs Zhao complained very much about Chu Jinyao: "I don't expect you to speak for her, but you can always tell the difference between who is close and who is not, right? You don't want to be against your own people, but you are secretly doing bad things, instigating the old lady to aggravate the punishment. When you were beaten by the old lady, Miao'er didn't fall into the trap like this!"
Hearing that even Chu Jinxian couldn't help it, she stood up and shouted, "Mother! It's not like this at all."
"Then what did you say?" Zhao Shi also shouted back angrily.
Chu Jinxian was at a loss for words, and she was really angry and hated at the moment, Chu Jinxian said: "Grandma has issued a password prohibition that we are not allowed to speak outside, and I don't want to talk about it, lest it be like I deliberately speak ill of her. Mother, you only need to know , when my grandmother asked for family law, including this time, there are other hidden feelings."
Zhao Shi sneered: "I'm injustice for Miao'er, you said that this is not the case, but once I ask what's going on, you say that there are other secrets and you can't tell me. You can talk about your own words, you can stand Can you hold your feet?"
Rao is that Chu Jinxian's temperament is not good. She frowned and was about to speak, but Chu Jinyao held her hand: "Sister, forget it."
Needless to say, useless.
Chu Jinxian looked back at Chu Jinyao's face, and found that she was very calm, even with an expected calm. Chu Jinxian felt as if cotton was stuffed in her throat for a while, and she was speechless. She finally sighed, raised her sleeves, and turned her head away from the argument.
Chu Jinyao stood up, Zhou Quan properly gave Zhao's hand a blessing, and then said, "Mother, today is the second day of the new year, and my daughter doesn't want to make you angry, so she will retire first. I wish mother jade body gold. Kang, prosperity and prosperity."
After Chu Jinyao finished speaking, she went out with Chu Jinxian. Zhao's eyes turned slightly to one side, but in the end, her eyes were still red, and she turned her face to the other side forcefully.
Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian came out of Zhao's house. After such an encounter, neither of the two sisters was in a good mood. Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao walked side by side to Rongning Hall, Chu Jinxian said: "The heart is full of flesh, mother can't accept being separated from Chu Jinmiao for a while, and the days will be better. Don't worry about it. , and don’t secretly hold grudges.”
"How come." Chu Jinyao smiled and said lightly, "How could I blame my mother."
When Chu Jinxian heard this tone, she wanted to sigh, so calm, how could this be a good omen? The mother-daughter relationship between Chu Jinyao and the Zhao family is getting more and more hurt, but what can an outsider say about this kind of thing? Chu Jinxian could only say: "Fortunately, Chu Jinmiao will be leaving the house soon. When she is separated from her mother, she will get better in time."
Chu Jinyao nodded indifferently, hope.
Even though she said this, in fact, Chu Jinyao didn't hold out much hope. If it was said that she and Zhao shi could have some mother-daughter relationship, but after this time, Chu Jinmiao was sent out because of her, Zhao shi must have resented her. The mother-daughter relationship between her and the Zhao family is probably completely impossible.
However, even so, Chu Jinyao did not regret what she had done. Chu Jinmiao did something wrong and should be punished.
The two of them were walking when they suddenly saw a beaming little maid running across. Seeing them, the maid hurriedly stopped and said, "Great auntie, Fifth Young Lady, I have found you! My auntie is here, and now I'm with my uncle in Rongningtang to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady!"
Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian were both stunned. Aunt Chu Zhu is here?
The two of them hurriedly walked towards Rong Ning Tang, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard Chu Zhu's unique high-pitched voice: "…Mother, our ancestors and the princess have discussed it, and everyone in our family likes them. , but as a companion to the county owner, you always have to meet the county owner's eyes, so you can only reluctantly part with the love, leaving only Jinmiao and Wu girls."
