Hearing this, Qin Yi narrowed his eyes: "Give marriage?"
He completely ignored Lin Xiyuan's previous sentence.
"That's right." Lin Xiyuan looked directly at Qin Yi and said calmly, "The old lady of the Chu family has already agreed with her grandmother. After a few days, we will settle our affairs."
Qin Yi had already seen the answer in Lin Xiyuan's eyes, and his voice became extremely cold: "Who is it?"
"Cousin Jin Yao."
Qin Yi suddenly felt an indescribable irritability. He really wanted to tell Lin Xiyuan that Jinyao could be called by him? But Qin Yi endured it for a long time, and angrily found that he had no reason to stop this.
Marriage of a man and a woman is a matter of law and ethics. What kind of identity and position does he take to stop Lin Xiyuan
Qin Yi once again remembered last year when he asked Chu Jinyao what kind of husband he wanted to marry in the future. At that time, he faintly felt that Chu Jinyao's ideal husband was speaking according to Lin Xiyuan's appearance.
If Chu Jinyao is willing, this is actually a good fate, isn't it
Qin Yi stopped for a long time and was speechless, and Lin Xiyuan just waited quietly. Qin Yi probably knew why Lin Xiyuan said this in front of him. The marriage was fake, and the secret reminder was the truth. If you really want to confer a marriage, you can directly ask for the seal, he is just the prince, what will you ask him for
Lin Xiyuan saw that he and Chu Jinyao were too close, so he deliberately reminded him. Qin Yi seemed to be slammed into the head. He only now clearly realized that Chu Jinyao was fourteen years old, and she was just at the age of blooming. She would soon have a marriage proposal with another man, betrothed, and even put on someone else's surname to make a living for her. Parenting. Now, this man dared to run up to him, warning her not to get too close to Chu Jinyao.
Qin Yi seems to be a lion who has been infringing on his territory. He is obviously angry, but he doesn't know what he is angry about.
When he finally sorted out his mood, the first sentence he said was: "Do your parents know about this?"
Lin Xiyuan knew that the old princess would personally tell the princess and the prince about this matter. He felt that his parents could not object to it, so he said very firmly: "Of course."
Qin Yi suddenly felt that there was nothing to say, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and he seemed to have only blessings. Although he didn't look down on the Lin family's different surnamed king, in all fairness, compared to Shanxi, the Huailing Palace was already a good home, and compared with those powerful children in Beijing, Lin Xiyuan had already made a lot of money. The family background and character are all justified, Qin Yi has no position to convince himself that this is not a good marriage.
The most important thing is that Chu Jinyao likes it.
Her dream came true and she married her sweetheart, she must be very happy.
Qin Yi's hand in his sleeve was clenched several times, but finally it was flattened stiffly. There was no extra look on his face, and he said to Lin Xiyuan very flatly and indifferently: "The Marquis of Changxing is also a good thing. It's a good thing that the two of you can form a marriage."
Lin Xiyuan smiled: "Then I will thank His Highness in advance. When the wedding is over, I would like to invite His Highness to come."
Qin Yi said coldly, "No," and wanted to stand up and leave, but Lin Xiyuan hurriedly stopped him: "His Royal Highness, stay."
"What else?"
"A few days ago, my sister walked into His Royal Highness's area by mistake. She was young and ignorant and did not intend to offend her. Afterwards, my grandmother and mother also taught her a lesson. Seeing that the sister is still young, don't blame her. ."
It was this thing. Qin Yi didn't take their county head to heart. The last time he came out, it was because she dared to bite Chu Jinyao. If Chu Jinyao and Lin Xiyuan are really engaged, then the county owner is Chu Jinyao's sister-in-law. Even if Qin Yi is a man who doesn't ask about the back house, he knows that the sister-in-law of her husband's family cannot offend her. With this level of scruples, Qin Yi can no longer embarrass Lin Baozhu, lest their family embarrass Chu Jinyao in turn.
Qin Yi nodded perfunctorily: "I see. I just said casually that day, since she is young, then forget it."
Lin Xiyuan bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Highness." After speaking, he seemed to have no intention of saying: "She is innocent and young, and she respects His Royal Highness the most."
Qin Yi was in a bad mood. Hearing Lin Xiyuan's words, he felt something was wrong. Qin Yi frowned, and his eyes went straight to Lin Xiyuan: "What do you mean?"
Lin Xiyuan was originally a test, but seeing that the prince was vigilant, he immediately took it back. Lin Xiyuan smiled gently: "I just said it casually, Your Highness doesn't have to take it to heart."
Qin Yi glanced at Lin Xiyuan very coldly, and then withdrew his gaze, not wanting to look at him again. For some reason, Qin Yi now looks at Lin Xiyuan very unpleasantly.
Qin Yi went out, and Lin Xiyuan also followed behind. They were one after the other, and just as they walked into the courtyard, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside.
Chu Jinyao ran in panting in her clothes just now.
Qin Yi frowned almost immediately: "What's wrong?"
After Chu Jinyao ran over, she did not expect that the prince and the prince had not left yet. She didn't want to pay too much attention to it, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Prince, have you seen a jade pendant?"
"What jade pendant?" Lin Xiyuan asked. To be able to make Chu Jinyao in such a hurry, what kind of thing is this
And Qin Yi had already guessed it without Chu Jinyao's explanation. He looked at the corner of Chu Jinyao's skirt and found that the jade pendant there was indeed gone.
After losing this jade pendant, Qin Yi glanced at Chu Jinyao helplessly, then turned to instruct Xiao Linzi: "Move your hands and find a palm-sized jade pendant with red silk floating in it."
Chu Jinyao was trying her best to adjust her breath, and wanted to wait for her breath before describing to the prince and the prince, but before she could speak, the prince said it.
Chu Jinyao was shocked.
Seeing Chu Jinyao's expression, Lin Xiyuan felt worse: "His Royal Highness, the fifth cousin's jade pendant, why did you know?"
Qin Yixin said that you didn't know Chu Jinyao when he saw this jade pendant. But Qin Yi has never been a person who is willing to talk too much, and his identity allows him to be so arrogant, so Qin Yi did not explain, just said lightly: "I have seen it."
Lin Xiyuan's eyes became more and more vigilant. Chu Jinyao suppressed the irritability and fear in her heart, and told herself to look for Yupei first. She said: "His Royal Highness, Prince, what Your Highness said is right, my jade pendant is indeed the size of a palm, the quality of the jade is clear, and there are about ten red flakes floating in the jade. By the way, I still wear a gold wire loop on the outer surface of the jade pendant. "
"Golden silk..." Qin Yi disliked it very much. Good jade, how tacky it is to turn it into gold. Has he approved it
"Ah?" Chu Jinyao looked at Qin Yi suspiciously.
"It's okay, I just think your taste is very special."
Chu Jinyao smiled awkwardly: "It's okay too."
Lin Xiyuan's smile didn't change, but the defense in his heart went to a new level. The prince has never been a person who can explain to others. He always speaks mostly with orders. He doesn't need to know why, just do what he says. But I am afraid that the prince himself did not realize that he would always subconsciously explain the whole story to Chu Jinyao.
Why
Lin Xiyuan secretly raised his heart and made up his mind to urge his grandmother to exchange Geng Tie with Changxing Houfu as soon as possible. The prince... he definitely has no good intentions.
Qin Yi asked Xiao Linzi to write it down, and then said to Chu Jinyao: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to check. As long as I find it, I will send it to you immediately."
Chu Jinyao's heart, which had been restless for a long time, returned to its place. She breathed a sigh of relief and bowed her thanks, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Lin Xiyuan was also very concerned about this matter, he disliked Qin Yi's way of taking the lead, so he said aloud: "I will send someone to look for the things of the fifth cousin. This is a family matter in our palace, so don't bother Your Highness. "
Qin Yi was stabbed by the phrase "housework", he glanced at Lin Xiyuan coldly, and said, "When you work alone, why do you need others to point your fingers?"
Qin Yi already used the title "orphan" in his words, but Lin Xiyuan didn't dare to say any more, so he bowed his head and gave in. And Chu Jinyao was frightened. After a while, how could the relationship between the prince and the prince be so bad? They even used the self-proclaimed prince.
Chu Jinyao still didn't give up, and looked up and down in the small courtyard. She was looking for something here, and Qin Yi and Lin Xiyuan were with her not far away. Chu Jinyao felt embarrassed and said repeatedly, "His Royal Highness, Shizi, if you have something to do, go back first. Linglong and I can just look here."
Lin Xiyuan shook his head, and Qin Yi said, "You can find it with peace of mind."
In the end, Chu Jinyao still found nothing and left with regret. She didn't go anywhere else today, where would she fall
Xiao Linzi followed Qin Yi to the residence. At first, Xiao Linzi walked quickly, but later he almost had to jog to keep up. After Qin Yi returned to his residence, the first thing he did was call Qi Ren to go to the garden to find jade pendants.
Xiao Linzi looked at Qin Yi's face carefully. Ever since the Crown Prince came back from outside, he has been in a bad mood. Xiao Linzi was waiting by his side and was really frightened.
Xiao Linzi asked tentatively, "Prince Prince, what happened to you today?"
Qin Yi didn't speak, his eyebrows were icy cold, Xiao Linzi shrank his neck, and immediately did not dare to mention this matter again.
After a while, someone from the outside announced, "Your Highness, the princess and the county lord sent a food box and said that the apology ceremony for His Highness, will your Highness see it?"
Qin Yi didn't even bother to say anything, so Xiao Linzi hurriedly opened the door and said, "No need to bring it in, let someone handle it."
The people outside should be, after the footsteps were gone, Xiao Linzi sighed: "The princess's reception was really thorough, and this time she sent a gift in the name of the county owner, their family's thoughts..."
Qin Yi's hand that was writing quickly stopped suddenly, he raised his head and asked, "What did you say?"
Xiao Linzi was startled, and quickly pleaded guilty: "The Crown Prince forgives his sins, it's my passing over and arguing about the matter of the master..."
"I asked what you meant by that sentence just now."
"Ah?" Xiao Linzi was stunned for a while, then scratched his head and said, "They are holding banquets and giving gifts. Isn't it obvious that they want to please His Highness?"
Qin Yi woke up like a dream, and only then did he finally understand what Lin Xiyuan meant.
"Could it be that they plan to stuff that county owner to me?"
Xiao Linzi was silent, but his expression was written, isn't it obvious.
Qin Yi thought it was inconceivable: "Why do they think I would agree? That county head of their family is stupid and charming. It's just... a big joke in the world."
Xiao Linzi couldn't help nodding, and when he realized what he was doing, he quickly stopped. Xiao Linzi said, "His Royal Highness, I didn't tell you before. In fact, another fourth girl from the Chu family also gave you something."
"She?" Qin Yi has no sympathy for this vicious woman who has seized everything from Chu Jinyao and framed Chu Jinyao again and again. It was a great gift that he did not pursue Chu Jinmiao, but this woman dared to dare. to provoke him
"Throw them all out." Qin Yi said with a cold face, "If she has another time, throw it in front of her."
Xiao Linzi graciously responded. He then remembered something like a joke: "Zongbing and others originally guessed that the prince would prefer such a high-minded and talented woman, but I didn't expect..."
Qin Yi tapped the table with his fingers, and immediately swept his eyes towards Xiao Linzi. Xiao Linzi was a well-behaved person, and the Crown Prince used it a lot, so he felt a little sluggish before he knew it. He suddenly realized what he had said, his face lost all blood, and he knelt down with a plop.
"You are getting more and more courageous, and you dare to talk about my affairs."
Xiao Linzi kowtowed: "Your Highness, spare your life."
He didn't even dare to defend, and directly asked Qin Yi to take it lightly.
Qin Yi waved his hand wearily and said, "Go and receive the punishment yourself. All go out, I don't want to see you."
"Yes." The people who waited did not dare to provoke Qin Yi, so they all stepped back.
After everyone left, Qin Yi stood in front of the desk with a pen in his hand, but didn't move for a long time.
In front of him was a piece of rice paper. He originally practiced calligraphy in order to make himself meditate, but the rice paper had become a mess, and he was still irritable.
That soldier, the general soldier, even speculated on his preferences, and thought he liked high-class women
Just a joke.
The Lin family wanted their petite and brainless county head to be the crown princess. Qin Yi scoffed. The county head looked like a child who didn't grow up. How could he like this? As for Chu Jinmiao, it was even more of a fantasy.
Qin Yi thought about it mockingly, but his heart became colder and colder. He disdains most women, so what should the princess in his imagination look like
Qin Yi fell into a long silence because of this question.
After a long silence, Tang Xinyi's voice came from outside the house: "Your Highness, I have found what you asked for."
Qin Yi regained his senses and said, "Bring it in."
Tang Xinyi entered the room according to his words, only to find that there was no one serving in the room. He was surprised, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he put down his things and retired.
The house fell silent again. Qin Yi found a chair and sat down, and slowly opened the jade pendant.
This is something that Chu Jinyao brought from childhood to adulthood. A year ago, he also cultivated his soul here. He remembered that before he fell into a coma, the red flakes of this jade perry disappeared completely, but he did not expect that after such a long time, it would slowly grow red silk again.
The fate of the world is really wonderful, and sometimes really cruel.
Chu Jinyao lost her jade pendant and couldn't sleep well all night. When I went to greet the old princess the next day, she was still in a state of lack of energy.
"What's wrong with the fifth girl, you look like you're out of spirit?"
When Chu Jinyao was called by her name, she woke up instantly, only to realize that the old princess was looking at her. Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "It's nothing, I didn't sleep well yesterday, and I can't concentrate a little today."
"It turns out that I didn't sleep well." The old princess and the people next to her laughed, "I'm still a child after all, and I'm going to panic when I've been away from home for a long time. It just so happens that your grandmother has a letter. If you two want to stay home for a few days, it's just the time to accompany you. Talk to your grandmother. She can't tell how much she misses without such two well-behaved granddaughters in front of her."
When the old princess said this, there was obviously no room for Chu Jinyao to refuse. It happened that Chu Jinyao also wanted to go home, so she got up with a smile and replied: "Thank you, ancestor, for being sympathetic."
Chu Jinmiao is very unwilling, why? The prince is still here, who wants to go back to the Marquis of Changxing! Chu Jinmiao twisted and refused to agree, but after all, her arm could not twist her thigh, Chu Jinyao had already agreed, no matter how much Chu Jinmiao tried, it would not change the result.
Today, the Crown Prince's invitation was very late, and the other girls naturally had to wait to the end, but Chu Jinyao wanted to go back to find her jade pendant, so she said goodbye in advance: "Old Ancestor, I'm really dizzy and can't talk to you anymore."
"Okay, you can go back and squint for a while."
Chu Jinyao saluted and walked out with the maid. At the gate of the courtyard, Chu Jinyao happened to meet the prince who came to greet him.
Seeing the prince, Chu Jinyao stopped early and stood aside. She saluted the prince from a long distance: "Prince Wanfu."
Qin Yi approached slowly, and saw Chu Jinyao wearing a silver-red dress, standing slimly under the begonia tree. She was much whiter and taller than before. Now she has black hair and snow skin, strong facial features, red mouth and white teeth, standing quietly under the begonia tree, like a pair of ink paintings of suitable shades, with just the right color and white space.
She seemed to fit in so well with the mansion, and she was used to everything herself. Maybe this is what she likes.
Qin Yi didn't stop as usual, he just nodded slightly and passed by Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao didn't know why, but her heart was empty.
Actually, she still has something to ask His Royal Highness...
Forget it, let's talk about it when there is a suitable opportunity in the future, there are people coming and going here, she can't just stop the prince like this.
After Chu Jinyao returned to the house, she took the opportunity to pack her things and searched inside and outside the house again, but she still couldn't find her jade pendant. Chu Jinyao was frustrated and anxious. She couldn't tell why the jade pendant was important, but she just knew that it couldn't be thrown away, no matter what.
After the old princess put down her words that day, Chu Jinyao did not go out for a few days, and stayed in the yard wholeheartedly to prepare to go home. The day before her departure, a green-clothed servant knocked on Chu Jinyao's courtyard door, handed a jade pendant to Kikyo, and left without saying a word.
Holding this special jade pendant, Chu Jinyao felt that her heart had returned to its original place. While she was grateful, she was a little strange. Was it a coincidence that the prince found her jade pendant just the day before she went home
Chu Jinyao thought, she must thank the prince tomorrow. Maybe the crown prince thought it was a little effort, but for Chu Jinyao, this kind of kindness came a lot.
However, things backfired, Chu Jinyao set a car home the next day, Yang Qixia, the county owner and others came out to send them out of the house, and even the prince came, and gently told Chu Jinyao to be careful all the way. Chu Jinyao was very moved. She swept her eyes back and forth, but she still didn't see another person.
Forget it, Chu Jinyao laughed at himself, what kind of person is the crown prince, how could he remember such trivial things as her departure today. Anyway, she just went home for a short stay. When she comes back, she will thank the prince in person.
Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinmiao got into the carriage one after another, the horse snorted hard, scratched its hooves, then let go of its four hooves and pulled the carriage out of the second door.
When Mrs. Chu received the news that Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinmiao were going home for a short stay, she was surprised for a moment, and then she cleared up her expression. Madam Chu asked them about their daily life in the palace of Huailing County, and let them go back to rest.
Since Mrs. Chu almost sent Chu Jinmiao to the Taoist Temple last time, the relationship between Chu Jinmiao and Mrs. Chu has deteriorated visibly. Everyone in the Hou Mansion knew about this, but tacitly did not mention it.
Mrs. Chu also secretly asked Chu Jinyao: "Chu Jinmiao is in the palace, what do you do on weekdays?"
Chu Jinmiao and Old Madam Chu almost tore their faces apart, Chu Jinmiao jumped up vigorously, wanting to give the old Madam a good look, and in order to maintain her face, the old Madam would naturally suppress Chu Jinmiao without a trace.
After thinking about it, Chu Jinyao detained Linglong with Chu Jinmiao's design, and told Mrs. Chu the truth about Lin Xining's ambiguous attitude.
After hearing this, the old lady's face turned down immediately: "I knew that she was not a worry-free person, and Zhao was still willing to believe her! I don't know whether to call her kind or stupid."
The old lady can say that Zhao's is not, but Chu Jinyao can't, Chu Jinyao is silent and does not answer. The old lady quickly realized that it was not good to say these things in front of the younger generation, so she changed the subject lightly: "What happened between her and Ning Ge'er, is it serious?"
"Grandma can go and ask aunt."
The old lady pondered, if Chu Jinmiao is indeed the girl of the Chu family, then it would not be bad to push the boat along with the current, but here is the problem, Chu Jinmiao has nothing to do with the Chu family, and even now holds a grudge against the Chu family.
Mrs. Chu didn't want Chu Jinmiao to marry at all, and she didn't want to see Chu Jinmiao marry her precious grandson. Since it is a hidden danger, there is no need to try, it is best to kill the signs in the cradle.
The old lady turned around a lot of thoughts, and finally said to Chu Jinyao, "I see, you should go back and rest first."
Old Madam Chu stared at Chu Jinmiao, and Chu Jinmiao did not take precautions against Old Madam.
She sent someone to inquire for a long time, and finally found out about Chu Jinyao's strange shop.
With the nail of Grandma Sun, Chu Jinmiao knew that Chu Jinyao had something in her hand, but unfortunately Grandma Sun left early, and many did not find out.
But there is one point in the information left. Chu Jinmiao observed that every month, people enter the house and Chu Jinyao report the matter. Chu Jinmiao sent someone to watch for a long time, and finally determined the address of this group of people.
Early in the morning, Chu Jinmiao set up the carriage and asked the groom to drive to this place. She wanted to see what the hell Chu Jinyao was doing.
After waiting outside the store, Chu Jinmiao asked the groom to slow down early and drove the carriage into an alley. Then Chu Jinmiao lifted the curtain of the car and checked the situation across the street.
Seeing the opposite street, Chu Jinmiao was taken aback. He didn't expect that Chu Jinyao would have such a grand and grand storefront. But this is even more strange. In such a big shop, why did the shopkeeper want to bring Chu Jinyao
What is the attempt to fail
Chu Jinmiao was puzzled, she couldn't imagine how much profit such a shop would make every month. Chu Jinmiao was very angry, how could Chu Jinyao be so cheap? She was depressed when she suddenly saw a group of people sneaking towards Xiu Zhuang.
The people who came were two men and one woman, dressed in shabby clothes, with dark and chapped skin, looking like a husband and wife and son. They seemed to be from the country, seeing that everything in the city was new, the younger man was fine, and the hunched middle-aged woman was timid, hardly even raising her head.
The three of them supported and walked slowly to the door of Yunzhi Embroidery Village. When the woman saw such a lavish storefront, she hesitated and refused to enter. The middle-aged man next to her seemed to be scolding, and the three of them were pulling, when suddenly a well-dressed young woman walked out of the store. The young woman seemed to come out to get something, and she saw the three people under the steps in a blink of an eye, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly.
The three people were like flies that smelled the smell, and immediately rushed forward, pulling the woman's arm and refusing to let go. The middle-aged woman was particularly exaggerated. She held the woman's hand and cried, "Su Hui, I raised you with shit and urine for my mother, and told you about our good marriage, but you are rich. Then, is this how you treat your mother and father?"
