The candle flame flickered and was reflected on the bed curtain. Chu Xuan was lying on her side on the couch, stretching out her fingers around the bed curtain, she had been in the Chu Mansion for two years. Yes, only two years. She is not an aborigine, but a lonely ghost who saw the fall of the original owner and took the opportunity to enter the body.

Xuan, the second jade of the beautiful stone. -- "Sayings"

She is not a concubine, so she is only worthy of being a stone, even if it is a stone of secondary jade, but it is not jade after all. is far from Chu Qi's name. One is a beautiful jade, the other is a stone, and anyone can see which one is more held in the palm of the hand, and which one is abandoned like a piece of paper.

If you really want to talk about it, Chu Xuan's biological mother Qi Ying is not a good person, she was just an entertainer at the beginning, but she was able to give birth to a pair of children one step earlier than the Chu family's housemother with her means and appearance. At the beginning, when Sun Yi, the mother of the Chu family, had just passed the house, Qi Ying was pregnant with Chu Xuan and her brother Chu Yi, and gave birth to the eldest son in the house. Although he was only a concubine, Chu's father's first child was naturally overjoyed, and Qi Ying gave birth to Chu Xuan again with the favor of the master. But the main mother, Sun Yi, couldn't swallow her anger anymore, and forced the master to name Qi Ying's daughter Xuan. This old lady Chu saw that the eldest son and eldest daughter were all sent down by the concubine in the house, and this wife would inevitably have some resentment, so she let Father Chu go with her. But at this time, Qi Ying didn't follow, this Sun Yi couldn't give birth to a child by herself, so she could toss her own child, who could be convinced? Qi Ying made a big fuss, and it wasn't until the old man took her to the side room that she settled down. You must know that this side room is not something you want to mention, you have to go to the yamen to change Qi Ying's original cheap status and then bring her up, so no one has ever brought up the cheap concubine.

It is now the year of Ruijing, and the new emperor has ascended the throne. The wives and concubines in the palace were all made concubines, and according to the old example, the general election should be held today. The Empress Dowager issued an order to summon the daughters of courtiers of appropriate age to enter the palace for a general election. Chu Xuan's father's official residence is four-grade, so he is naturally among those courtiers. But Chu Xuan is the only one of the appropriate age in the Chu Mansion, and he is double seven this year. The concubine born by her mother is only eleven now, and she is not yet in time, and she can't run for election, but she can make Sun Yi angry to death, and she doesn't know how many handkerchiefs she has torn up. Qi Ying's fox charm has not been able to rob her master all day long, and now she actually has to enter the palace one step earlier than her daughter to run for election, if she is really chosen, what if she is repaid? Qi Ying's fox is still not allowed to climb on his head? But what if you can't be annoyed? This list has been handed in, and it can't stop Chu Xuan from running.

Chu Xuan looks like Qi Ying, Qi Ying looks charming and charming, and she is naturally charming, so that Chu's father can always stay in her room, and even Sun Yi can't compare. Even if she is older now, her romantic charm is still more than a little stronger than the wives and concubines in the house, and Father Chu still lives in her room. And Chu Xuan inherited Qi Ying's charming bones and was born with a good skin.

Qi Ying was originally an entertainer and learned dance since childhood. Therefore, he taught Chu Xuan to dance since he was a child, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were taught by the female gentleman invited by the master. Chu Xuan has a good dance lesson, but he is not very proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or Sun Yi secretly told the female gentleman that Chu Xuan is just a concubine and does not need to be like a concubine, so Chu Xuan only knows a little bit about it.

The day of the general election is getting closer and closer, and the grandmother invited by the old lady is also stepping up her teaching of Chu Xuan under the order of the old lady, and this rule can be regarded as a good way to learn. Qi Ying prepared a hairpin ring dress for her. Although Sun Yi was jealous of the old lady's attention to Chu Xuan, she secretly did a lot of tricks, but a few days ago, the old lady talked to her in private, and she settled down.

Although Old Madam Chu is now over half a hundred years old, her body is still strong. Looking at the Sun family standing in the hall, this Sun family is good at everything, but he is too small, and the amount of energy is too small, so he can be a little clever and ignore the overall situation. Old Madam Chu frowned and said steadily: "Look at what you have done!" This Sister Xuan is going to enter the palace to run for election, and you are still restless! You have to be angry with me, don't you? ”

Sun Yi opened her mouth to speak, but closed her mouth in amusement, but the expression on her face became more and more aggrieved, and her eyes began to redden.

Old Madam Chu looked at her appearance, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart, sighed lightly, and her voice softened: "I know that you are a good person, and I feel sorry for my child." I've been friends with your mother for many years, and I can say that I watched you grow up. But Chu Xuan is also the daughter of our Chu family, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, this is just the first general election. Isn't there a second or third time? ”

Sun twisted the handkerchief and wiped away his tears, sobbing: "Mother, but the Qi family is also bullying, it's just a daughter running for election, and her tail is like a to the sky!" I can't stand it. ”

Old Madam Chu couldn't do anything when she heard this, so she could only speak out to stabilize her, after all, she didn't treat the Qi family very well, but she still raised the eldest young master of the Chu Mansion. When Mrs. Chu thought of Chu Yi, she felt a lot more comfortable in her heart, Chu Yi has been filial piety and courtesy since he was a child, and he treats people kindly, and now Chu Yi is also growing up more and more, and he reads very well, and the gentleman in the private school often praises Chu Yi for being a malleable talent, and he will definitely go to high school in the future. Old Madam Chu's impression of Qi Ying is also a little better, although Qi Ying often loves to be happy, but the child is still teaching well.

Old Madam Chu looked at her, and said calmly: "Sister Qi should also run for election in the future, if Sister Xuan is also in the palace, there will be more help in the future, right?"

Sun Yi thought about it, but she was still not very happy: "But what if she refuses to help Sister Qi?"

Old Madam Chu seemed to have a way, and hurriedly said: "This Sister Xuan and Sister Qi are both from the Chu family, who will Sister Xuan help her with?" It's all my own family, so naturally my elbows are turned inward. ”

Sun Yi was a lot happier when she thought about it, it was best if Chu Xuan could lose the election, if not, she would also give Chu Qi a boost in the future, why not? Anyway, what can Chu Xuan, a concubine, do?

After talking like this, the Sun family didn't bother Chu Xuan to pick on her, and Chu Xuan was able to learn the rules quietly.

It's just that Chu Qi is not angry in her heart, these days the people in the mansion are all revolving around Chu Xuan, is it possible that she is a concubine and can not compare to her as a concubine?

I have to say that Sun Yi really has no ability to teach children. Seeing that the old man often goes to Qi Ying's place, he mutters bad things about Qi Ying and them every day, and the words are extremely poisonous one by one, not at all like what everyone should say, even in front of the children. Since she was a child, Chu Qi has had that kind of eldest lady temperament, and her relationship with Chu Xuan has always been bad.

Originally, when she saw that her mother gave Chu Xuan small shoes to wear, she felt more comfortable, but now her mother just let her go. Chu Qi is naturally unhappy in his heart, what should he do if he is not happy? Of course, I'm going to clean up the people myself.

Chu Qi instructed the maid to pour oil on the stone road, Chu Xuan did not learn the rules at his own residence, but from Old Madam Chu, because Old Madam Chu would also check her progress from time to time. And this stone road is the only way for Chu Xuan to go to Old Lady Chu.

When the maid was ordered to finish pouring the oil, just as Chu Qi was satisfied and ready to leave, he accidentally stepped on the oil foot and slipped, his body tilted to one side, and he fell straight into the lake next to him. There was a thud, and the water splashed, and the maid cried out.

Chu Xuan took off his clothes and haircut, and was about to go to Old Madam Chu's. As a result, a servant hurriedly broke in and gasped, Chu Xuan frowned at Changdai: "Why is there no rules like this?" Isn't there a ghost? ”

Only then did the maid stand up straight: "Miss, second miss, she fell into the water!"

Chu Xuan frowned when she heard this, she has never been a good person, Chu Qi has long been known to the world if she doesn't deal with her, and replied casually: "She fell into the water and fell into the water, what do we have to do?" Anyway, I, who is a sister, should also go and see my sister, right? Chu Xuan bit the word sister.

Chu Xuan had just arrived at the door when he heard the Sun family crying and crying in the house. She picked Changdai and walked into the house, but as soon as Sun saw her, he pointed his finger at her and scolded loudly: "It must be you little who caused my daughter to fall into the water!" You little born to a prostitute still has a face? ”

Chu Xuan's face was cold when she heard this, but before she could say anything, Qi Ying opened her mouth: "What do you mean!" Your daughter did it herself! Blame our sister Xuan? It's the first time I've seen you faceless! ”

Chu Xuan listened to Qi Ying's words for her, her heart warmed a little, and her face looked good. No matter how much Qi Ying loves to be happy, no matter how bad she is, she is still a person who hurts children to the bone. Chu Xuan packed up her emotions and said calmly: "Auntie, do you say that Xuan'er hurt the second sister?" Xuan'er didn't even go out of the door, how could she hurt people? Why did Xuan'er want to harm her second sister? ”

Sun Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said strongly: "It's not that you can have anyone!" You were born of a prostitute! Fish begins to rot from the head! A belly full of bad water! My poor Sister Qi! ”

Chu Xuan looked at her and said it smoothly, and she was very annoyed. Qi Ying was also trembling with anger, what kind of appearance is this a beautiful girl! Compared to the rude village women outside, it is not far behind.

At this time, Old Madam Chu opened her mouth: "Come on!" What nonsense! That servant has been recruited, Sun, you are still messing around! And Qi's! You too! Disrespectful to the big house, this is what you can do? ”

As soon as Old Madam Chu spoke, both of them were silent. Chu Xuan looked at Chu Qi on the bed. Chu Qi was lying on the bed with a pale face, but it was much better than her tossing all day long.

Chu Xuan looked at Chu Qi on the bed and didn't wake up for a long time, naturally he was very bored, so he looked for an excuse at random and went back to the house. Sun looked at her departing back, and his eyes looked like he was going to eat her alive.

No matter how much trouble the Sun family made after this, they were suppressed by Old Madam Chu, and they were so ruthless that they were directly grounded. At this time, Chu Xuan can have a moment of tranquility, but there is not much time to enjoy this tranquility.

Because, the election has begun.
