The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Before Lin Baozhu's words came to an end, a kind of silent embarrassment filled the room.

Lin Baozhu was the county lord when he was born. Everything from the novel is right, everything is right and proper, and he has developed a self-conscious and self-respectful temperament. When she asked this sentence, she probably also heard the rumors of Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinmiao, and thought it was very strange, more interesting than a story, so she came to ask. As for what the occasion was, and how the two parties should deal with each other, she didn't care about it.

Chu Jinmiao's expression was already extremely embarrassed. Although everyone in the Changxinghou Mansion knew this well, everyone avoided it tacitly when they spoke. Who would deliberately speak out? In front of Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinmiao, no one mentions this, so that everyone will look good. But now that they were outside as guests, with so many people sitting around, the county host yelled out loudly, Chu Jinmiao, the fake daughter, couldn't stand up immediately.

Chu Jinyao was also embarrassed, but he was much calmer than Chu Jinmiao. She smiled and said: "The county owner is right. It is me. When I was a child, I was out of town because of Tartar, but my father found it only in the first month of this year."

"Oh?" The county owner was even more curious. She pointed at Chu Jinmiao directly and asked, "That means you were in her parent's family, and she was in your parent's family?"

The county owner completely ignored the other people's face, Chu Jin's face was already flushed, and the other party, Chu Jinyao, was very calm: "Yes, I was raised by the farmer Su's family."

There was a hint of meaning in the eyes of the county owner. She turned to look at Chu Jinmiao, then at Chu Jinyao, and asked curiously: "You grew up in the village, so did you admit it?"

"What's shameful about this." Chu Jinyao laughed. "I grew up so I didn't steal or cheat or rob, but my environment was a bit poorer when I was a child. What's wrong with this? Even if the Su family is a farmer, they are standing upright. Why don’t I dare to admit it with my own hands asking for life?"

The ladies of the noble family, even if they didn't say anything, looked down on the common people in their hearts, let alone the poor peasants of the Su family who threw their hands on the ground. The girls of the Chu family deliberately avoided it. Firstly, it was because of the faces of Changxinghou and Zhao's family. Secondly, they felt that Chu Jinyao's background was very unsuitable, and she said that it made Chu Jinyao cold on the spot. It's boring to ask yourself. The more they evaded, the more they could actually explain their thoughts. When the county owner mentioned this topic, the Chu family girls felt cold.

Six girls felt that when it was over, the scene was going to be embarrassing.

But no one expected that Chu Jinyao himself admitted this matter upright, and took the initiative to analyze his past for others to see. If Chu Jinyao's words flickered, the other girls would still find it a little bit fun, but Chu Jinyao was so calm, they also felt unsure of their faces when they were surprised.

The wound can only rot if it is hidden and tucked. If the person is open-minded and does not fear the eyes of outsiders, it will only bring out the embarrassment of the onlookers.

The county owner didn't expect Chu Jinyao to say such a thing. She was taken aback, and then smiled: "I have never seen someone like you. They either evasive or pretentious, get bored and crooked. Very good, but your straightforward temperament has my appetite." The county owner walked over to take Chu Jinyao's arm as he said, and said, "Go, I'll take you outside to see the flowers."

Lin Baozhu is the head of the county, and no one with a higher status than her can be found in Shanxi. Lin Baozhu was accustomed to flattery, just like eating the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. When he happened to meet someone like Chu Jinyao who told the truth, he felt unexpected and liked it a lot.

The third girl and the sixth girl watched the county lord go out holding Chu Jinyao, their faces hard to hide. No one expected this kind of development. Instead of disgusting, the county owner took a high look at Chu Jinyao. They stole their heads for a companion to the county host. The three girls carefully painted their makeup, and the sixth girls even thought about what they would say today and what actions they would do. However, before they started to act, they were suppressed by Chu Jinyao's casual remarks?

What a joke, the third girl and the sixth girl immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Where the county chief is going to enjoy the flowers, we should accompany it."

The county owner didn't matter, let the third and sixth girls follow, and even the seventh girl had been ordered by Yan early. At the moment, she didn't want to show weakness and moved forward, relying on her young age to deliberately get close. The flower hall was filled with people just now, and now it was empty with a huff. Chu Jinmiao stood there, no one noticed or asked, and his face was extremely ugly.

The maid carefully reminded: "Four girls, the county lord is out, shall we..."

Chu Jinmiao knew that this was not the occasion for her to show her face. She barely concealed the unhappiness on her face, and walked out stiffly: "I know. It turns out that the county owner is even more pretending to be pitiful. Who won't?"

Chu Jinmiao thought that the county owner was the only one who got close to Chu Jinyao because Chu Jinyao was pitiful enough. Also, his life experience was bumpy, he grew up with a poor head, and hadn’t seen anything before. For the county owner, such a lady of heaven, wouldn’t it just hit your heart at once?

Chu Jinmiao thought secretly, and adjusted his plan. She knew that the county owner's choice of companionship during this trip was false, and the preparation for the prince concubine was true. In any case, she must stay with the county owner. With the county owner as a springboard, she will have the opportunity to jump higher in the future.

On a whim, the county owner insisted on pulling Chu Jinyao to see the chrysanthemum in the back garden. The maids of the palace said: "The county lord, it's time to set up a meal in a while, and the ancestors who have gone too far should not be found."

However, the county owner played with joy, and these words were like ears of wind. The county owner didn’t bother to care about what these maids were saying. She took Chu Jinyao and said, "My mother found some green chrysanthemums two days ago. I will take you to see them. ."

Chu Jinyao felt a little uncomfortable to be held in such a way by the county owner who had no control over the strength of his hands. She moved her wrist slightly, and when the maid was talking to the county lord, she pulled back with a calm expression.

Chu Jinyao's footsteps slowed slightly, and she was immediately pushed aside by the three girls. The third girl with a slender waist and graceful, squeezed into the gap, she turned her head and gave Chu Jinyao a triumphant glance. Chu Jinyao found it ridiculous. She continued to cover her sleeves and rubbed her wrists. Six girls walked up to Chu Jinyao silently and whispered to Chu Jinyao: "Fifth sister, you promised me the other day. Do you remember?"

Chu Jinyao didn't change his expression, and asked, "What does Six Sisters mean?"

"Sister Fifth is really good at talking and laughing." Girl Six laughed and said, "Yes, Sister Fifth was originally a daughter of a daughter. From the farm gate to the Hou Mansion, such a big gully has also jumped over. How could it be impossible to put this small piece in front of it? What about the ditch? It turns out that I have no eyes, despised my sister, and wanted to give my sister a hand to help you how much. Now I think about it, what I said at the beginning is ridiculous, the five sisters are superb, where can I be used?"

I can only say that I like to use what kind of vision to speculate about others. The Six Girls had originally thought of using Chu Jinyao, but after seeing him today, she suddenly realized that she had miscalculated Chu Jinyao? Don't overturn the boat in the gutter.

Chu Jinyao retracted her hand and turned to look at Miss Six: "What does Miss Six mean?"

Girl Six's face changed slightly: "Sister Fifth is in front of me, so don't pretend that you don't understand, right?"

"I really don't understand." Chu Jinyao asked, "Lady Wang Liu said straight, what are you trying to say?"

The sixth girl was startled, her smile stiff. Although she deliberately angered Chu Jinyao, it would be best to let the other party lose his temper, but Chu Jinyao asked bluntly, and she became herself who couldn't stand it.

The time to speak, the garden has arrived. The sun was shining, and the maid led them to the pavilion, and after laying cushions for the girls, she said: "Girls sit for a while, presumably the old princess will pass on food soon. The sun outside is too poisonous to dare. Let the girls go out to play, but the girls can only blow the hair here first, and then come back to see the chrysanthemum in the afternoon."

This is reasonable, not to mention that there are many flowers planted around the pavilion, the breeze is coming, and the flowers are swaying, it is already a rare beauty.

Chu Jinyao smiled and nodded and sat down, not planning to embarrass the maids. However, the county owner was not satisfied with sitting like this. She looked around and said, "It's so boring to be stuck here. I remember that cluster of green chrysanthemums is about to bloom. Green chrysanthemums are rare. I'm going to pick them and put them in a bottle. ."

The maid beside the old concubine said quickly: "The county lord is not allowed, it is not good to expose you to the sun. What do you want, the slave let the little maid take care of it."

"Why are you so troublesome? I said I want to go by myself!" The county owner opened the maid's hand, she looked in the crowd, looked at Chu Jinyao, and waved again and again: "Come here, I Remember the flowers are over there, you accompany me to pick the flowers."

The maid who was opened was embarrassed in public, and her face was a little bit awkward, but she had to patiently persuade her when she thought of the words of the old princess: "The county lord, it is almost noon now, this will be the most beautiful day in autumn. You can’t go out if you’re exposed."

"What am I going to do, where will you take care of it?" the county owner said, "Besides, am I not okay now."

This is simply a mess. Chu Jinyao looked at the sunlight outside the pavilion, and felt that the maid was right. She couldn't help saying, "This sister is justified. Now the sun is poisonous, and there is no need to go out now. Anyway, after the flowers bloom, they won't run away. Wait for a while, and wait until the sun is slanted to the west. ."

"I have to wait until the afternoon, it's boring. I'm going now, you guys are long-winded, bothersome." The county owner found that Chu Jinyao was helping others to persuade her, deeply disappointed, frowning and complaining.

When Chu Jinmiao heard this, he quickly said: "It is said that people come by pleasure, return in pleasure, pleasure is fleeting, and flower viewing, etc., how can it be blocked by foreign objects? If everyone dislikes the sun, then I will accompany the county owner out to enjoy the flowers."

This is the difference between Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinmiao. Chu Jinmiao used to think that he was a prostitute, and was accustomed to giving orders and letting everyone accommodate her. But Chu Jinyao would not be so self-willed and compare his heart to heart. Everyone is human, so why bother to embarrass people who travel with him on a whim? Since we came out together, don't we have to discuss everything? It's too selfish to only care about myself.

But this didn't make any sense with the county owner. The maid was clearly for the sake of the county owner, but she had to be scolded by the county owner. Now that Chu Jinmiao responded, the county owner became more and more inaudible.

"Lord, your skin can't get sunburned. If you get a rash when you go back, the princess will blame it again."

"Shut up, how can your slave and maid intervene in my business?"

Chu Jinmiao said: "If the county owner is weak, let the maid hold an umbrella next to him, and don't let the sun hit the county owner's face. Isn't that done?"

What's this talking about, the little maid is holding an umbrella to the county lord next to her, so it won't be troublesome? Chu Jinyao walked over and said in a low voice to Chu Jinmiao: "Just say a few words. These maids were ordered to come out and look at the county lord. If the county lord is sunburned, the county lord will have nothing, but they We are unavoidable to be punished. We are guests, so we don’t want to persuade the county lord, so why bother them?"

Chu Jinmiao sneered, and glanced at Chu Jinyao disdainfully: "I know what your mind is. You are afraid that I will fall in love with the county owner. This will hinder you in every way, and your intentions are really unbearable. I tell you, you will save this. Be crooked!"

Chu Jinyao felt like a dog bite Lu Dongbin and didn't know good people. The two parties were in a stalemate, and suddenly the maids in the pavilion were startled, and they all knelt down.

Even when the county owner saw the visitor, he immediately became honest.

"I have seen Shizi."

Chu Jinyao heard the sound, turned around, and saw a straight young man wearing white woven gold walking slowly amongst the wanton flowers in autumn.

"You can be heard unreasonably making trouble from a long distance away." Lin Xiyuan slowly approached, with a casual tone, but let the young county lord settle down instantly. Lin Xiyuan said: "If you are exposed to the sun, there must be another person in the house. You are no longer alive. Don't always make a fool of yourself."

Unprepared to see Shizi, the ladies in the pavilion all stood up, either cautiously or in surprise. The three girls were bored looking at the arrogant county lord's temper, and suddenly saw the son. Her eyes couldn't hide her joy, and she quickly stood up, wiggling her enchanting figure, and said softly: "Wonderful son.

When Chu Jinyao saw Lin Xiyuan, he was stunned, and after his consciousness came over, he hurriedly bowed to everyone. However, when she was distracted, Lin Xiyuan saw a girl in the crowd squatting slower than the others for a long time, and standing up straight for a long time, she was funny in her heart, how could she notice the others.

The waist of the third girl could only be twisted to the air.

The county owner saw his brother, although he was scared, he was still a little bit unconvinced: "Who is fooling around?"

Lin Xiyuan slanted his eyes, "Dare you still say?"

The county owner died now, his cheeks bulging, and he dared not speak any more.

While talking, Lin Xining also caught up from behind: "Brother, why did you come here suddenly? Hey, is my cousin too?"

The girls surnamed Chu present were all Lin Xining's cousins, but when Lin Xining spoke, her eyes only looked at one "cousin."

After Lin Xiyuan saw it, he raised his eyebrows with interest, and Chu Jinyao stood close to Chu Jin and found it immediately.

Chu Jinyao said softly in his heart, cousin, cousin, no wonder. However, even if Lin Xining did not call her, Chu Jinyao had to greet Lin Xining according to the rules: "Cousin."

Lin Xining nodded as if he had only seen other people, and said, "Fifth cousin."

Lin Xiyuan smiled and glanced at Chu Jinyao, and said, "Fifth cousin, why do you only say hello to your second brother, what about me?"

This person is really ill. Chu Jinyao slandered and said, "I just said it clearly."

"What did you say?"

Are you afraid that your ears are bad! Chu Jinyao rolled her eyes in her heart, so she had to give Lin Xiyuan a chance to be pleased again: "Blessed the world."

Chu Jinyao reluctantly finished speaking, and found that Lin Xiyuan, who was still smiling just now, suddenly became cold after her salute, and the look in her eyes was inexplicably displeased. Chu Jinyao said in his heart that the elder son still remembered what happened that day, and as expected, the elder son had a lot of opinions on her!

Chu Jinyao thought melancholy, if she let the elder son know that she, a vulgar woman who even dared to climb the wall, would probably become his sister's companion with the support of the family, or even worse. Intent to seek the seat of his wife, would definitely hate her even more, right?

Chu Jinmiao sighed silently. To be honest, she would probably disappoint Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Chu's plan is very good, but it can't stand it, the elder son has a big prejudice against her!

Chu Jinyao lowered her head and her expressions were very sad. The third girl and the sixth girl realized that these people did not talk with them at all. They were not outdone at the moment, and took the initiative to intervene. The three girls said, "My son, why are you here?"

The sixth girl was disdainful, and only asked about her son. The third girl's face was really unsightly, she was indeed raised by the little mother, so she didn't go to the table. After thinking about it, the six girls smiled softly and said: "Cousin, my son, are you here to find the county owner? Could it be that we have gone so far and caused the elders to worry about it?"

These words are much more brilliant than those of the third girl. The sixth girl deliberately showed her intelligence, guessed the purpose of the world's son in her words, and finally secretly showed her own obedient, and could not bear to worry about the elders. One sentence contains a lot of thoughts, a bit more explicit and a bit less inadequate, really just right.

Lin Xiyuan heard Chu Jinyao call Lin Xining's cousin, and when he arrived he was the estranged son, he was very unhappy, but then he saw Chu Jinyao's low expression. Even though Chu Jinyao felt that she was covering up well, she still had nothing to hide in front of Lin Xiyuan. Lin Xiyuan's unhappiness gradually dissipated. He was kind and funny in his heart, with a gentle smile on his face, and smiled to answer the other two Question: "My second brother and I went to my grandmother's place and found out that the few of you have not yet come back. Grandma was worried about your business trip, so she sent us both over."

"What kind of business can you go..." the county host whispered.

Lin Xiyuan squinted over, and the county lord was silent. Lin Xiyuan said, "You are not obedient, so you dare to talk back? If the gem is causing you trouble, I will apologize for her, so please bear with me."

The girls of the Chu family immediately returned the gift: "Don't dare."

"That's good." Lin Xiyuan smiled, "Let's go back now. A few girls go first." After speaking, Lin Xiyuan took a step back, than gestured to them to go ahead.

Really is a gentleman, gentle and moist as jade. The third girl is very heartbroken. This kind of man is a fool who can't catch it. She felt good for Lin Xiyuan, and then headed away thinking about it.

According to the sequence of teeth, Chu Jinyao could leave only when Chu Jinmiao left. She followed Chu Jinmiao. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got out of the pavilion, Lin Xining found an umbrella and carefully put it on Chu Jinmiao's head: "Cousin, be careful."

Chu Jinyao's teeth were suddenly sore, and she glanced forward with complicated eyes. Before she took her gaze back, there was a chuckle in her ear.

Chu Jinyao turned around and found that Lin Xiyuan had just passed by her. When he passed by, Lin Xiyuan's smiling voice came: "Take a good look at the road."

In this way, the group of people had their own thoughts, and stopped to arrive at the destination. Long ago, a maid stood at the door and looked around. After seeing them, she hurried out to greet them: "My son, the county owner, how did you come back? The ancestors and the princesses were waiting anxiously. Just now they sent a group of people out to find you."

Lin Xiyuan said indifferently: "This is not coming back." His voice declined, and the county owner had already rushed towards the inside, yelling: "Mother, eldest brother, he just said me again!"

Lin Xiyuan sighed silently as he looked at his sister's mannerisms without a lady of the family. He had long felt that Lin Baozhu should take care of it. The Princess and the old princesses of Naihe County were not in a hurry, and he thought that Lin Baozhu was so innocent and lively, which was most likable.

It's a pity, only the Lin family feel this way.

Lin Xiyuan was thinking about something, and there was a sweet fragrance of a woman around her, and then a woman's voice sounded: "Thank you, my son, for today's matter."

Lin Xiyuan turned his head. He looked at the appearance of the woman in front of him, and finally realized that it seemed that she was the girl from the second aunt's family, and she ranked about six.

The six girls stepped forward to thank you, and it was bound to make Shi Zi leave a unique impression of herself. Lin Xiyuan smiled and nodded: "It's okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Jinyao salute him from a distance, and while the six girls were talking to him, quietly bypassed the two of them and walked inwardly. Once he was out of sight, he quickly slipped away like a squirrel. Lin Xiyuan turned his gaze back, and his smile deepened. When he returned to his senses, he found that the girl in front of him seemed to be saying something, smiling implicitly, and lowered her head slightly. Lin Xiyuan was stunned, what did she say just now? It doesn't matter if you think about it.

Lin Xiyuan just sent six girls into the house.

When staying as a guest in the palace, no one comes to get enough food. Chu Jinyao sat at a table with his sisters, only holding a dish in front of him, and eating a meal silently. When the old princess saw Lin Xiyuan, she couldn’t laugh, she even sat beside her when she was eating, because she was her own, and the palace didn’t pay much attention to the rules of not eating and sleeping. The old princess was asking about Lin Xiyuan’s homework. Lin Xiyuan also answered with a smile.

Being happy and harmonious, a person suddenly came in from the outside. The other party was dressed up as a small servant, and the old princess frowned immediately when she saw it. There are still so many girls here, or other women's family members, what will it look like when a young man just breaks in?

But before the old lady had a seizure, the young man ran to Lin Xiyuan's side, bent over and said something in Lin Xiyuan's ear.

Chu Jinyao looked at Lin Xiyuan curiously. She watched Lin Xiyuan's face change from a light smile to slowly getting cold, and finally serious Zhou Zheng, without a trace of smile. Lin Xiyuan stood up with a squeaky noise, and the chair behind him squeaked on the ground with a soft noise: "Grandma, grandson has other important things, so leave first."

The old princess was also frightened by Lin Xiyuan's face, and she quickly said: "Since there is something outside, then you should hurry up and do your serious business."

Lin Xiyuan warned Zhao, his eyes scanned Chu Jinyao, and finally bowed his head deeply: "Mrs. Changxing Hou, the younger generation is rude."

The Zhao family also stood up and said, "What did the son say? It will be done whenever we come. How can I delay the son from doing business?"

After Lin Xiyuan apologized, he led the people out quickly. Not to mention Chu Jinyao and others, even the Lin family rarely saw Lin Xiyuan gaffes like this. The female relatives were whispering, "What's wrong?"

Chu Jinyao looked at the direction Lin Xi was away from, surprise and worry appeared in her eyes.

She only vaguely heard that the little servant whispered "Tatar...Prince...Datong..." and other words to Lin Xiyuan. Although I didn't understand, these intermittent keywords were enough for Chu Jinyao to guess some clues.

Could it be the border, something big happened?

Sure enough, news of Datong reached the female family members that afternoon.

Tatar invaded the border without warning, and the prince was on the front line of the border.

The old princess was shocked when she heard the news, and the tea cup in her hand fell to the ground with a click and fell to pieces.

Zhao's and others also instantly turned pale and their blood faded.

Thirteen years ago, the Tatar iron hoof went south and Taiyuan fell. These noble women had to leave their boudoir and fled in a hurry. Until now, the shadow of fleeing still looms over the hearts of these noble ladies.

And now, the disaster that happened 13 years ago is happening again.
