Chapter 21, a few rounds with the girls

Let Lin Xiaochu enter the house, of course, not to be a floor wiping girl. Chu Huaixian saw it outside the bamboo curtain, and hesitated to open the curtain and come in. Liuchun and Liuxia were both panicked, they were directing the pleasure, and Chu Huaixian, who was unprepared and said that he was waiting for dinner in the garden with Mr. Chen, came in again. No one will open the curtain.

"Childe is back," Liuchun Liuxia came over in a panic, and Chu Huaixian had already come in by opening the curtain by himself. He didn't say anything, the lotus was bullied by Liuchun Liuxia, and Chu Huaixian also looked at it in his eyes and didn't speak. is in the capital, among the maids in the room, there are not many people who can easily mix in front of him. This is an unspoken rule of life in the house, Chu Huaixian knows it in his heart.

"My fan has fallen, take a fan and give it to me." Chu Huaixian gave the broken old fan to Liuchun, and Liuxia sent a new folding fan. Chu Huaixian, who was blind to Lin Xiaochu, turned around and left, and said at the same time: "Dinner is coming soon, scald yesterday's wine, and use the jade cup I like." ”

Liuchun and Liuxia agreed, Chu Huaixian smiled out, and Xiao Chu talked eloquently to Gongzi to see how she passed the level of these two girls. Childe has a word first, and he doesn't help. In the future, it will be to help, and it will be up to me to see if I am happy.

Back at the pavilion, Mr. Chen, dressed in white, teased Chu Huaixian in the twilight: "The son dropped his beloved fan, and he went away; This happily returned, and the girl who wanted to come to the new harvest said something refreshing and sober. ”

"Not really, she honestly lies in the room and mops the floor, I look funny." Chu Huaixian put down the new Nanmu landscape folding fan in his hand, and didn't mind telling Mr. Chen: "I'm waiting for the girls in the room to make a storm." ”

"Hehe, what a bad mind the childe has." Mr. Chen made fun of it, but he didn't take it to heart. Don't say that girls will be like this among people, it is like this everywhere in officialdom and school: "I can't cope with it, I can't afford to be a son." ”

When the sky was getting dark, dinner was served, and a sheep's horn lamp was lit among the flowers and leaves, shining like stars in the sky. The breeze seemed to come out from under the armpits, and Mr. Chen said happily: "Interesting, my son and I are white." ”

"There is a letter in the capital, saying that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng has made another statement to the emperor that he wants to withdraw the elite soldiers of the four princes. He also ordered their subordinates to enter Beijing to obey orders, saying that public security in Beijing was the most important. Chu Huaixian drank the wine in the cup and said slowly to Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen smiled: "The emperor is always wise, that is, the queen, although she is the biological daughter of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, she has always been virtuous, and she refuses to let her family behave indiscriminately." ”

"The little prince of Zhongshan had a letter the day before yesterday, inviting me to be a guest at his place, I grew up with him when he was a child, and since he went to the fiefdom, I haven't seen each other for several years." Chu Huaixian was a little drunk: "If I hadn't missed the exam, I really wanted to go to him for a year." ”

Speaking of which, Mr. Chen has also seen: "The little prince can open a hundred stone strong bows, I have a classmate under his account, saying that the old prince loves his son the most, and now everything is in the hands of the little prince, and the old prince is just playing everywhere in his spare time." ”

The breeze outside the pavilion is light, and there are fireflies flying in it. The two of them were relaxed and happy, and the people who served were far away, and they spoke more casually.

"Prime Minister Zhang Cheng frequently admonished two years ago, saying that several princes should reduce their soldiers and horses, but there have been few border wars in recent years." Mr. Chen casually commented on the matter.

Chu Huaixian disagreed: "There is no exhaustive army, what do you say to reduce the number of soldiers and horses; The annual expenditures of the Ministry of War do not exceed, and Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's fold is not good. ”

Mr. Chen smiled, Chu Huaixian is a person who is both civil and military, if it weren't for the noble son, and the only seedling under the knees of Lord Chu, he would also join the army.

"The second master usually talks a lot, but he pushes it to Prime Minister Zhang," Mr. Chen mentioned the second master of Chu, Chu Huaixian showed it, and then told Mr. Chen with some shame: "Xiaochu, this girl has a great mouth, take her back to Beijing to say a few words in front of the second uncle, I will be happy when I think about it." ”

"Childe doesn't think about it, a country girl, she knows that Childe likes her, so she is a little presumptuous. If she offends the second master when she goes back to Beijing, the family can accommodate her. Mr. Chan was teasing.

Chu Huaixian was slightly happy: "With me, stay in our house, how to make it without a few words." ”

"Since she is clever in words, wouldn't it be better to let her come over and wait, let her fan her son, and pour a glass of white water for the person she likes." Mr. Chen came up with this idea just for fun.

Outside the pavilion more than ten steps, there are standing to stay in spring and summer and enter Xi'er. Chu Huaixian is not surprised that there is no Lin Xiaochu, she thinks that the girl next to her son is easy to do, let her know that she can't come up easily.

"I told her to wait at night, I think I was stopped in the room, I have a good time eating wine today, I don't want to theorize, I will talk about it tomorrow." In the midst of this breezy and clear moon, Chu Huaixian continued to have fun with Mr. Chen.

Lin Xiaochu and Lotus were still wiping the floor, wiping before eating, and wiping again after eating. From inside the room to outside the room to the hallway; From the railings to the pillars to the tables and benches in the room, wipe them clean.

The sweaty lotus straightened her waist: "Mom, it's finally finished." Lin Xiaochu was also too tired, so he simply sat on the ground and rested for a while, his hair was already half-dried and no longer dripping. His forehead was covered with sweat, but he was dripping sweat on the ground.

Lotus wiped the sweat dripping on her body again, and looked at the ground by candlelight on the desk: "It's clean, Xiaochu, it's good for you to come." I used to wipe the ground by myself, and I was so tired that I couldn't do it. I have to do other things, and sure enough, it's not easy to wait for people. ”

The two of them took the cloth to wash in the back basin with a cloth for mopping the floor, and talked while washing.

"Who else is in the yard?" Facing the clear water under the moon, Lin Xiaochu remembered Xiaoyi, the fifth aunt was really a kind person, and said that she was willing to help tell Xiaoyi. There is also Childe, he said that he would let people pick up Xiaoyi every two days. Speaking of which, you can't blame Gongzi for being affectionate, he really saved himself.

Although Lin Xiaochu was tired of being enslaved by the girl, he was sincerely on an errand. No matter how hard and tired it is, it is better than staying at Sun Erhai's house tonight.

Lotus, who came two days earlier, couldn't afford to ask this question, and felt that she knew better than Lin Xiaochu, so she said: "There are really many people in this family, since I have been here, I have not left this courtyard yet." In our yard, in addition to the son, there are four of us, and there are also four rough mothers, but after I came, this land was swept by me, and I didn't sweep it well. ”

Lin Xiaochu's style, staying in spring and summer, is like a prisoner being sent to the lobby, first come to a hundred killing sticks, wring out the cloth in his hand, Lin Xiaochu asked the lotus with a bitter face: "What else is there besides sweeping the floor?" ”

"All we did was sweep the floor, mop the floor, carry the water, and wash the clothes for the sisters. The son asked for tea and water, exchanged for finches and bird food, picked flowers and burned incense, this is not what we do. Lotus looked at the sparkling water: "When I first came, I also asked me to pour tea, but I dropped many cups, and I couldn't pour it anymore." ”

Lin Xiaochu raised his vigilance: "Drop the cup? "Lotus is a teenage girl, not a little girl of a few years. Lotus still couldn't figure out what was going on, nodded and said, "I don't know if the cup will fall in my hand." "I still have palpitations when I think about it.

"You're too nervous, aren't you?" Lin Xiaochu somewhat understood.

"Yes, my hands tremble when I think about bringing tea to my son, and my sisters scold me at this time, and I can't hold the cup." Lotus lowered her head gloomily: "Fortunately, I don't deduct the monthly money, otherwise, I really don't know what to do." ”

came out of the shadow of the tree to stay in the summer, and came over and scolded: "Two lazy hooves, just rubbing here, the son is back, and he wants water to take a bath." Hurry up and wait at the gate of the courtyard, and when the hot water comes, it will be brought in and placed under the porch. ”

Lotus was so frightened that she stood up and bowed: "Got it, sister." Liuxia crossed his waist and said fiercely: "Wash your hands with fragrant pancreas before you go, be faster." ”

Lin Xiaochu, who was sitting by the water, chuckled, whether to let us go quickly, or let us clean our hands before going. It's all errands, so why not be in a hurry.

Chu Huaixian said that Lin Xiaochu was on an errand at night, and he was of course referring to being on an errand in front of him. Staying in spring and summer is not about secretly changing the concept, they also let Lin Xiaochu be an errand, and he is constantly busy. It takes a while for a new girl to learn the rules, and she feels that her son can also explain when she asks about it.

Chu Huaixian, who had taken a bath, walked around the courtyard before going to bed. He changed into a moon-white light shirt, stood under the porch and ordered the lotus flower to open the curtain: "I want to go, you come with me." ”

Lotus was flattered, nervous to eat and agree, and followed Chu Huaixian out of the yard. Lin Xiaochu, who turned the corridor, listened to Liuchun and Liuxia pouting: "This is going up again, it's not good to wait tomorrow, find a meal to beat on your body." ”

Seeing Lin Xiaochu in a blink of an eye, Liuchun was disgusted: "It's not early, you go to sleep, you don't have to wait for the lotus, she has to wait for the son." Liuxia also took Xiao Chu away, and when Xiao Chu disappeared, he was even more disgusted: "This one will stand in front of the son again, I'm afraid I will go up too." "It's better to let her go back, it's not early anyway.

On the water pavilion outside the courtyard, Chu Huaixian and Lotus were talking: "You have to tell me what Xiao Chu says in the future, whether she says it in person or behind her back, I have to know." ”

Lotus really hasn't gone through such a battle, she thought that she would come to be an errand boy, listen to the master's words, and do what he tells her, but she didn't expect to be bullied first, and the son asked her to be a little traitor today, only staring at Lin Xiaochu.

"The two of you are neighbors, and you are always more familiar than others, let me tell you, you serve well, and you will follow Xiaochu in the future, which can be regarded as taking care of you and a familiar person." Chu Huaixian looked at the lotus flower, this girl is really stupid and stupid, how can the same water raise two kinds of people.

Of course, Lotus can't understand, she serves well, and she will be Lin Xiaochu's girl in the future. She really thought that Childe was taking care of her, and she saluted happily: "I listen to Childe, I will tell Childe whatever Xiao Chu says." ”

"You only told me, don't tell Lin Xiaochu." Chu Huaixian's voice was slowly stern: "If you show the news, I'm welcome!" ”
