After Qin Yi was sent to the Datong border, the elders of the Taifu Pavilion were worried, but he himself felt that it was impossible to see. He was really fed up with that pair of dogs.
The border was very difficult, and the guard could not relax for a moment. Qin Yi also took people out of the customs several times to chase the Tartar cavalry. In the first month, the Tatar grandsons harassed the people again, robbed things and ran away. He led his men to chase for 500 miles, and when he surrounded the Tatar cavalry and planned to cut the grass, he didn't pay attention, and something happened. .
Qin Yi felt that his injury at that time should be quite serious. He is not afraid of being helpless in the follow-up. The Datong general has not yet had such courage. What he is afraid of is that the news of his unconsciousness will be sent back to the imperial city.
The queen is probably dreaming about this day. When she was able to hook up with her brother-in-law when her sister was seriously ill, Qin Yi knew that she should not have any illusions about this couple.
After Chu Jinyao finished educating her jade pendant, she saw that the other party seemed to have listened, and then she said: "You have helped me a lot, and now I will help you. Don't worry, leave your business to me, it will be fine. I guess the key lies in this kind of jade. I once heard Su's mother talking, saying that the Taoist priest was naughty, put the jade pendant by my side, and then left singing some poems. Wait for the parents to chase after them. When you go outside, you can only see the vast snow. I guess this jade should have some magical power, why don't we look for it? Maybe, there are people selling this kind of jade in other places, no matter how much money, we buy it back, See if I can change your place."
It sounded decent, Qin Yi didn't think Chu Jinyao could help him, but after listening to her sincere plans for him, Qin Yi couldn't say anything to refuse. Qin Yi had to perfunctory: "Okay."
But he was thinking in his heart, to find a way to contact his cronies in the East Palace and let them find this kind of soul nourishing jade for him.
Chu Jinyao racked his brains to think, where is there a lot of jade? Or find someone who has seen the world and ask him about this kind of jade. Back then, the Taoist priest gave her a piece. Logically, jades always come in pairs, so it won't be an isolated copy, right
As for how to buy it after finding it... Chu Jinyao refuses to think about this issue, there will always be a way.
Chu Jinyao sighed silently, and Qin Yi listened to it and asked, "What's the matter? You're still sighing."
"I'm worrying about my future livelihood."
Qin Yi laughed, Chu Jinyao glared at him and said seriously: "Don't laugh. I'm thinking about things seriously. I want to help my sister and buy jade for you, and I have to plan for the future. The cost is not small. They all say that money can make ghosts run the mill, and some people say that poor and lowly married couples are sad. I know too much how hard it is to have no money. I still have a long way to go in the future. Those 30 taels of silver to live on. I have to find a way to find a way to make money for myself. As for the rest of the Su family... I can't do anything to take a bite, and I can't be like a saint without resentment or hatred. From then on, Qiaoqiao Returning to the bridge and returning to the road, we will not interfere with each other, and we will never meet again."
"Then what do you want to do?" Qin Yi asked with interest.
"I don't know either. It is said that it is better to teach people how to make nets than to give me fish meat. I can give my sister money once, but it is impossible to give money for a lifetime. It is better to find a job for her and let their family do it themselves. , If I had a shop, I would kill two birds with one stone. However, I heard that the elders will only give a girl a shop when she is married, which is counted as a dowry. I can’t get married right away? Hey, what are you laughing at?”
Qin Yi stopped laughing and said deliberately, "You want to get married now, is it too early?"
Every man likes to tease girls, even if Qin Yigui is the prince, he can't get rid of this inferiority. Chu Jinyao was said to be annoyed, picked up the jade pendant, and pretended to fall, Qin Yi said quickly: "Okay, I won't tease you. I think you are suitable for the silk and satin village."
There was a smile in his voice, apparently forcibly holding back the laughter. But when he said these words, it made people feel solemn inexplicably, and people couldn't help but want to believe him. As if what he said would come true.
Chu Jinyao couldn't help trusting Qin Yi like this. After Qin Yi said it, Chu Jinyao felt that it was really possible. She is familiar with the craftsmanship of clothes, so she had no chance, but now she can come into contact with all kinds of precious silk and satin materials on weekdays. And this way, my sister can also go to the shop, and she can make money as well as help her... Chu Jinyao suddenly felt wrong, she looked at Yupei helplessly: "I've been led astray by you, what do you think I'm suitable for managing the silk and satin village? I still think I'm suitable for managing the bank! Someone has to let me manage it."
Qin Yi was made to laugh again, Chu Jinyao wondered why this person was like this, she talked with her heart and lungs, but he kept laughing. After finally waiting for Qin Yi to laugh enough, he has a pleasant smile in his voice, his voice is casual, but his words are very calm: "There will be."
She liked to hear those words, and Chu Jinyao burst out laughing: "Okay, let me borrow your blessings. When there is such a big deal, I will definitely change it for you."
"Presumptuous!" Although Qin Yi said this, he couldn't hide the smile in his voice.
Sunlight poured into the house from the window panes, making the west room a golden shade. Chu Jinyao was sitting in the warm sunshine, smiling while skillfully sewing lace on her clothes. On the small table beside her, lay a jade pendant with a reddish white background.
A few days later, when Chu Jinyao greeted Mrs. Chu, she heard Mrs. Chu say: "Pearl wrote to say that her mother-in-law knew she was coming back, so she was sympathetic and gave her a leave early. The Prince's Mansion is only a day's journey away from Taiyuan, she walks faster and should be able to arrive at night the day after tomorrow."
The girls were shocked when they heard it: "Auntie is coming so soon?" It was ten days sooner than the original, and their clothes were not ready!
"Yes." Mrs. Chu nodded, "Your aunt is coming back. If you have anything you want to prepare for your aunt, go back and do your work now. I won't hold you back. If you have anything missing, just come and tell the old Gu family. it is good."
Mammy Gu was Madam Chu's assistant, and she was trusted. Even the Zhao family had to give Mamma Gu some respect. The girls responded one by one, and then hurried back to pack up the big clothes for the guests.
The girls go back and forth just a little bit every day, and when the aunt comes back, this is already a big deal. Sure enough, as Chu Zhu said, on the evening of the third day, her carriage stopped outside the second gate.
Chu Zhu was Madam Chu's only direct daughter. She was like a jewel when she was in her boudoir, and she married very well after she left the court. Her husband's family is the Wangfu of Huailing County, a different surname that Dayan can count. Although the Huailing Palace is not a serious royal family, it is a royal palace after all. Even if the Changxing Hou Palace is a noble family in Taiyuan, they are still people. People who see the palace should be respectful and respectful.
Chu Zhu was sitting in Old Madam Chu's Rongning Hall, and her laughter could be heard from far away. Mrs. Zhao and several other daughters-in-law stood on the ground, joking with Madam Chu and her aunt. An aunt is different from a daughter-in-law. A girl who has not left the cabinet is a coquettish guest. An aunt who has left the cabinet will return to her mother’s house. She is a distinguished guest and should be treated well, but a daughter-in-law is different. The stars were sitting in the middle of the moon, and the Zhao family was about to stand aside and set the rules.
Mrs. Chu asked her daughter, "Why did you come back so soon, your mother-in-law didn't tell you? You can come back at any time, but don't let your mother-in-law have any opinion on you."
"I understand, my mother-in-law sent me back this time." Chu Zhu said, and turned to look at Zhao and others, "The sisters-in-law are getting better."
Zhao Shi smiled and said, "How can you compare to auntie. You maintain a good figure, and your face is clear. People who don't know, think you are a girl from our family!"
Everyone laughed, and Chu Zhu laughed especially happily. Women like to be praised for being young and beautiful, and there is no exception. Zhao has only given birth to one son, and has been frail since childhood. She has always been careful in front of her mother-in-law. Now, in front of her mother-in-law, she doesn't want to hold her sister-in-law happy.
Chu Zhu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law really knows how to talk. I'm about to become an old woman. How can I compare to the young girls at home?"
The second wife, Mrs. Yan, said, "What auntie said, Ning Ge'er has reached the age of marrying a wife. Aren't you going to be called grandma!"
Ouch, what she said made Chu Zhu's mouth even more coaxed. She has always been proud of her high marriage. With so many famous officials in Shanxi, she is the only one who married into the palace, and her son is her greatest pride. Mrs. Chu also cherished her only grandson. She asked, "Where is Brother Ning, why didn't you come in?"
Outside the Rongning Hall, Chu Jinyao circled back and forth in a cluster of yards. She lowered her voice and asked Qin Yi, "How do you get out?"
Just now, Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian were in the old lady's house, talking with their ancestors, when suddenly they sent a message that the aunt was coming soon. She got up quickly and was about to meet her aunt. In a hurry, the seventh girl turned a cup of tea onto Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao had no choice but to come back and change clothes.
The old lady's face was put on her face for several days, but she was late on the day Chu Zhu came back, and Chu Jinyao didn't dare to think about what happened next. After changing her clothes, she hurried to Rongning Hall. In order to take a shortcut, she did not take the road that she was used to, but planned to cross the courtyard and take a shortcut. But this time, it's gone.
Chu Jinyao is lost.
Following Chu Jinyao is the rose, a newly bought girl who doesn't know the way here. This area is a vacant yard, no matter how Hessen looks, the two of them have been around for a long time, and the more they are around, the more confused they are.
Chu Jinyao hurriedly asked Qin Yi for help in a low voice while the rose was not paying attention.
"Go out from the corner gate of this small courtyard, follow the road to the north, and then turn west after reaching the corner... Actually, you can go one more corner and then turn west. Enter the courtyard from the steps, cross it, and then walk two steps south. , you will be able to join the road you often travel."
Chu Jinyao was stunned for a while: "Huh?"
"You didn't remember?" Qin Yi was surprised and could only say, "Go north first..."
"Where is North?"
Qin Yi was speechless when asked, "You don't even know Bei?"
"I know. But there are all the same houses and yards around, how can I tell them apart?"
"I don't think you know." Qin Yi was so angry that he lost his temper. If he changed a place, he couldn't find the north. Can this be called knowing the direction? He had to say: "Did you see that corner door? Yes, it's just behind the penthouse. After going out, go straight along the road..."
Under the intermittent guidance of Qin Yijian, Chu Jinyao slowly groped in this building. She was going to open up the roses after walking for a while, and then she talked to Qin Yi secretly. Chu Jinyao herself felt like she was a thief. Same.
"How do you go next?" Chu Jinyao secretly asked Qin Yi while no one was paying attention.
"What are you doing?" A voice suddenly sounded behind her, Chu Jinyao was taken aback and let go of the jade pendant.
The author has something to say: Chu Jinyao's diary:
Today, I encountered the first problem on my way to becoming a rich woman, #how to distinguish the south, south, north and north#, I thought I would, but I was ridiculed mercilessly.
