Chapter 83

Chu Jinyao is lost and is looking for Qin Yi to ask for directions. After hearing this, Mammy Zhang was stunned on her face and hurried to see Zhao. Zhao smiled and said, "if miao'er wants to eat, you can do it. It doesn't take much effort anyway."

Mother Zhang sighed in her heart. Zhao still couldn't carry it clearly! Chu Jinmiao pushed her away and couldn't tell what she wanted to say, but Zhao responded. Mother Zhang was angry and hated iron and steel.

How old are you? Why don't you even have this ability to distinguish?

After mother Zhang left, Chu Jinmiao hooked her mouth, then sat down in front of Zhao and said, "Mom, I'm not your own daughter, but I've occupied the name of the first lady and let Chu Jinyao wander outside for 13 years. Do you hate me very much?"

"No!" Zhao was startled. "How did you think of saying such words?"

Chu Jinmiao lowered her eyes and wanted to cry: "I also want to be filial to my mother, but others say that I occupy the magpie's nest, covet glory, and hurt the real daughter to suffer outside. It's all my bad, mother. My daughter can't be filial to you in this life. In a few days, you will send me back to the countryside. When I have a good baby in the afterlife, I will be filial to you in good faith, so as not to be scolded by others pointing at my spine."

Zhao did not expect to hear such words. She was stunned and then became angry: "who told you this?"

Chu Jinmiao wiped his tears and didn't speak. The more Zhao looked, the more he felt angry: "is it the servant? The old lady's man? Or Chu Jinyao?"

When it came to Chu Jinyao, Chu Jinmiao shouted, "no, no, don't ask."

"That's unreasonable!" Zhao angrily patted the table. "I thought she was a good one. She didn't make any moths these days. Unexpectedly, she dared to say that about you secretly! Miao'er, don't worry. My mother will seek justice for you. Only when my mother is here, you can be a lady of the Marquis house safely. Don't worry about these things."

"Niang." Chu Jinmiao went to pull Zhao's sleeve, "grandma said specially to make you pay more attention to Chu Jinyao. If you scold Chu Jinyao for me and spread it to grandma's ears, she will be dissatisfied with you again."

Zhao said what she had just said with anger. When Chu Jinmiao reminded her, she thought that there was an old lady. Her mother-in-law was serious and strong. Zhao always took care of her mother-in-law. If the old lady Chu intervened, she really couldn't deal with Chu Jinyao at will. Zhao was angry and hated, and unknowingly transferred her anger to Chu Jinyao. She said gnashing her teeth : "I need someone else to speak when I deal with my daughter?"

"That's what I said, but who let Chu Jinyao be protected by the old lady? Even the eldest sister speaks to her everywhere. Our mother is weak. How can we compare with the red man in front of the old lady?"

"So she's so precious that no one can control her?"

Chu Jinmiao said: "Mom, don't be angry. People think of all the ways. She is protected by the old lady. Although you can't take care of her, it's still feasible to find some nurturing mothers for her. She didn't receive any education. She was used to being poor before. She suddenly came to rich and noble countryside. If she didn't discipline well, she would be blindfolded by money and lose her temper. Therefore, you have to find a mother to take care of her everywhere She, although she will certainly complain about you, you are doing it for her good! Even grandma can understand. "

"Discipline mammy?" Zhao frowned and repeated in disbelief.

"That's right. You can give her a more strict mother to guide her to manage money and people, and supervise her rules at ordinary times. That's really good for her! If she indulges her because she can't bear it, she will give her whatever she wants, and sooner or later she will spoil her temperament. If a person is rotten from the root, it's useless to spend more effort in the future."

Zhao nodded: "you're right. She's my daughter after all. I can't watch her all the time. It's better to send someone to discipline her for me. Although she will certainly complain about me, as long as I know in my heart that it's for her good, I won't ask for these false names." Zhao said, looking at Chu Jinmiao with satisfaction: "It's very kind of you to think of her like this. After all, she grew up in a poor family, and her heart is not bright enough. Seeing so much money suddenly, she will inevitably be blindfolded and secretly exclude you. Don't worry about her."

"I understand." Chu Jinmiao chuckled.

It was late and Chu Jinmiao had to go back to the cross hospital to have a rest. When she went out, she happened to meet mother Zhao coming back with a plate of crispy fruit. Seeing Chu Jinmiao, mother Zhao stopped: "four girls, are you leaving now? The fruit has just been fried. Do you want any more?"

"I suddenly don't want to eat. Mammy can handle it by herself." Chu Jinmiao put her hand in her sleeve and said lightly.

It was Chu Jinmiao who said she wanted to eat crispy fruit at night and asked mammy Zhang to fry it herself. When it was ready, she said she didn't want to eat it.

Mother Zhang didn't speak. She stood aside with a plate of fruit and sent Chu Jinmiao out. Mother Zhang lowered her head. At the moment when she felt that she was wrong, Chu Jinmiao looked up and glanced at her very quickly and lightly. Although that eye was light and fleeting, it was like a dark needle soaked in ice water, which hurt human flesh.

……

In Aunt Huang's yard, three girls are pestling in front of Changxing hou to complain.

"Father, I know I'm stupid. Mammy teaches things. The four girls can learn them once. I can only think about it by myself when I come back. I have to practice until I turn the lamp every day. Father, do you think I can't help being so stupid?"

"How could it." Changxing Hou often came to Aunt Huang's yard, and even the three girls often saw him. Meeting more often, Changxing Hou inevitably had to pity this common woman more. When Changxing Hou saw his daughter drooping and dejected, he felt even more pity. He couldn't help lowering his voice and said, "clumsy birds fly first and diligence can make up for their clumsiness. You are willing to work hard by yourself, which is far better than your sisters. If you persist in this way, a little makes a lot, and there will always be a return."

"Really?" the three girls showed a surprise smile. She immediately frowned and bit her lips in distress. "The four sisters can understand it once in class. They don't need tutoring after they come back, and I always see the lamp every day, so I can be equal to them. Doesn't my father really blame me for being stupid?"

Aunt Huang listened and added in good time: "it's not just lights. Every time I go to see three girls, it's almost dark. She's still practicing her own words and rules in the house."

"Still learning when it's dark?" Changxing Hou was surprised. The girls of the Chu family are pampered. The elders are very strict with the young master's homework, but it's very easy under the girl's name. After school, he is very diligent to continue to watch his homework. He practices alone until dark, which Changxing Hou dare not think of. After being surprised, Changxing Hou was satisfied with the three girls: "yes, you are so diligent that you will achieve great success in the future."

Seeing the appreciation in Changxing Hou's eyes, the three girls were very happy. She showed a happy and shy smile on her face. It seemed that she was overjoyed but slightly embarrassed after being appreciated by her father. She knew that Changxing Hou liked this shy, frank and naive look best. The three girls said, "if only my father didn't dislike me, even if I couldn't choose a companion, it would be worth it if I could get this reward from my father."

Changxing Hou also said with a smile, "your grandmother will see that you are so diligent. To choose a companion for the county Lord, intelligence is the second, and diligence is the most important. The county Lord is smart enough, but she is just impatient to study. It's also a good thing if you have such a diligent person around."

Hearing this, the three girls and Aunt Huang looked at each other and saw joy from each other's eyes. Changxing Hou, is this the third girl?

"Qi Ze, Qi Ze?" Chu Jinyao whispered, but Qin Yi didn't respond.

It's over. He's angry with her! Chu Jinyao was really suffering. She called a few more times. She saw that Qin Yi had not moved yet, and several servant girls of clove and Camellia were about to come in. She had to press and not mention it.

After washing, Chu Jinyao changed into a light red stand collar jacket, a ginger seven piece horse face skirt and a bright red cloak, and hurried to rongning hall.

She greeted the old lady, who nodded indifferently. Chu Jinxian also sat next to old lady Chu. Seeing her, she said, "it's the most important thing for you to learn the rules with mammy these days. Be diligent. Although mammy hasn't come yet, you can't be lazy. Go back and review your pen and ink."

After hearing this, Chu Jinyao bent over and saluted Chu Jinxian: "elder sister Xie." then she hurried to the back classroom.

Chu Jinxian reminds her to go to review her brush and ink as soon as possible... Chu Jinyao has a headache when she hears it. It seems that they had a holiday yesterday. Today they are not relaxed. In addition to learning rules, needlework brush and ink should also be practiced.

Chu Jinyao lived in a poor family for the first 13 years. Food and clothing were a problem. How can he talk about embroidery, writing and other skills that rich people can afford for recreation? However, the leakage of the house happened to rain at night. Today, several other girls seemed to have an appointment. Not long after sitting down, the seventh girl in the second room said, "Mammy, the fifth girl learned the best rules yesterday. We sisters can't catch up with her. I just don't know how her needlework, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are. The fifth sister might as well move a few strokes casually to open our eyes!"

Before Chu Jinyao spoke, Chu Jinmiao answered, "yes, Mammy specially praised five girls yesterday. I want to come. Five girls hide deeply and have many skills that surprise us. Five girls don't want to be modest!"

Several other girls also helped. When mammy saw it, she also said, "in that case, five girls can write a few words at will."

The seven girls showed a successful smile, and Chu Jinmiao also bowed his head and smiled gently. Nowadays, literacy is the privilege of a few people. Farmers face the Loess and face the sky from generation to generation. They can speak clearly, but they are blind and can't recognize a word. Many vendors in the city are illiterate, and a few women in the back house are literate. Chu Jinyao had to do farm work at home. The daughter of this family still writes. Is it a problem to know words?

This is the consensus of the girls. The eldest girl's status is respected. In addition, she will be out of the cabinet soon. She does not participate in this selection. The second girl is a common woman in the second room. She is 15 years old. She is too old. Her character is tempered by Yan Shicao. She is basically out of the game. The third girl is Chu Jinchan, the concubine of Changxing marquis. She is just fine at the age of 14, but she is a concubine. Her identity is a little worse than the legitimate sisters.

The fourth girl is Chu Jinmiao. She has outstanding talent. She was raised by Zhao with silver money since childhood. If she didn't hold it wrong, the accompanying reading would be in her bag. However, it's such a coincidence. Chu Jinmiao is actually the daughter of the farmer Su family, not the young lady of Changxing Hou house. If her elders don't care, she can't live in Changxing Hou house anymore. After all, it's for the county leader to choose playmates. The daughter of Hou men is the best, and the daughter of a junior official with a poor identity is also normal, but it's too much to choose a farmer's daughter!

Because of this layer, Chu Jinmiao's competitiveness is greatly reduced.

The next girl of the right age is Chu Jinyao, the fifth girl. Although Chu Jinyao is a legitimate daughter, she has not been raised in the Marquis house for the first 13 years. Maybe the princess and the prince will be picky about this. Later, the six girls were the legitimate daughter of the third master. The six girls had the right talent, identity and age. It happened that her father was born to his aunt. When the old Marquis was alive, he was confused and doted on the third master's biological mother, Yang. Yang dared to lose face in the main room because of his pet. Master Chu endured it all the time. As soon as the old Marquis died, he immediately sold Yang, After three rooms also rarely have a good face. Although the sixth girl is suitable in all aspects, she is a concubine. I'm afraid it's difficult for the old lady of Chu.

Under the six girls, there are seven girls. Seven girls are the legitimate daughter of the second wife Yan. They are arrogant. Such people go to be the accompaniment of the county leader... Six girls and Chu Jinmiao think, I'm afraid, Xuan.

Seven girls are twelve years old. They are already a little younger. Next, eight girls are only six years old. Obviously, they are automatically out. So to speak, the competitive ones are big Fang Shu's three girls, Chu Jinmiao, Chu Jinyao and three Fang Di's six girls. Seven girls have been secretly crossed by many people. Each of the four of them has their own strengths, but they all have some small defects. This offset, but they are evenly matched. No one is sure to win or lose.

It's easy to say. Chu Jinmiao reached a consensus with three girls and six girls. Seven girls are not afraid. Now they work together to squeeze out one, two places under them, and the three of them fight again. It's better than a cheap outsider. Chu Jinyao, who has the highest status and the best appearance, but has no foundation because she has just returned, is the best target.

Several girls joined hands to crowd out Chu Jinyao. They all know Chu Jinyao's background. They can make stitches and lay out an invitation. It doesn't matter. Chu Jinyao can't read or write. How can such a person be a companion? The flower mother and Deng Momo are from the royal palace. In a sense, they are the eyes of the princess. As long as they destroy the impression of Chu Jin Yao in the minds of these two mama, things have already become half.

So today, Chu Jinmiao must force Chu Jinyao to write in full view of the public, so that she can completely lose her face and have no chance to recover.

Other girls also spoke enthusiastically. Mother Deng knew that she praised Chu Jinyao yesterday. Now she doesn't let Chu Jinyao do anything, I'm afraid she can't convince the public, so mother Deng smiled and looked at Chu Jinyao: "five girls, just write a few words."

Chu Jinyao completely sulked, stood up, saluted mother Deng Fu and said: "Mammy, to tell you the truth, when I was born, I was held by mistake. Under the wrong circumstances, the four girls were held back to the Marquis house, and I stayed in the farmhouse. My father just found me back at the end of the first month. I have no conditions since I was a child. I can't compare with the sisters who grew up in rich and noble countryside. I have many shortcomings in pen, ink and needle and thread. Please forgive me, Mammy."

Chu Jinmiao heard this and quickly said, "the five girls are a good source of trouble for Shuidong, but I didn't hurt you so much. Don't rely on me for anything. Even if you have to sell pity, you know that the two mammies came to choose a companion for the county leader, not a storyteller. No matter how much grievances you have, you can't think of muddling through?"

After hearing this, the seven girls also said, "yes, you can write if you want to write. What do you do when you say so much?"

Mother Hua, who taught the rules yesterday, was also there. She only knew that five girls had just returned to the house. She never thought there were many other reasons. She didn't like Chu Jinmiao for no reason. She occupied the identity and status of others. She could also say that "I didn't hurt you. You don't want anything to depend on me." This kind of bastard remark shows that she has a cold heart. However, mother Hua cherishes the diligent and sensible five girls in her heart. Seeing this scene, she can't face the five girls any more. Mother Hua is a member of the palace and takes the interests of the palace as the greatest in her heart. Although the five girls have a bumpy life experience and are distressing, it is the matter of the county leader who is more important. She is illiterate and can't write Girl, I can't be a companion to their county leader.

Mother Hua planned to speak to help Chu Jinyao out. Although her opening resolved the embarrassment for Chu Jinyao, it also meant admitting that Chu Jinyao was illiterate and eliminating Chu Jinyao. Mother Hua's words reached her throat, but she heard Chu Jinyao say, "I just let mammy forgive my bad words. Why did she say I wouldn't?"
