Chapter 2, scolding the money matchmaker on the street

Lin Xiaochu, who made a windfall, dragged Lin Xiaoyi to the grocery store. Weigh half a pound of sugar cubes first, Xiaoyi said no, and the two black eyes stared at the sugar cubes just to look.

"I also need a new thimble and a pair of straw sandals."

The guy at the grocery store loudly agreed and brought the stuff.

When he went out again, Lin Xiaoyi had a piece of candy in his mouth, a money bag in one hand, and a new thimble in the other. The thimble is yellow and reflects the light below the sun.

"The fifth aunt likes it so much."

Lin Xiaochu, who was holding straw sandals in his hand, was full of spring breeze, and he made money today!

The bustling crowd around is on the long street, the long street is in the city, and the residence is outside the city. Xiao Chu and Xiao Yi, who was a head shorter, went home hand in hand, and a couple of silver bulged in his pocket, Xiao Chu felt that the joy of life was nothing more than a blockage.

"Sister, why don't you buy a Hsinchu basket? Ming'er, what are you carrying to sell flowers? ”

Lin Xiaoyi asked vaguely while sucking on the candy cube.

Lin Xiaochu smiled like a light breeze: "How expensive are the new bamboo baskets, there are several bamboo baskets at the house, and she doesn't need them, let's ask her to buy one at a low price." ”

"How low is it?"

"A penny."

Lin Xiaoyi also muttered: "I don't like the money matchmaker, she loves to scold the street, loves to talk about people, and she doesn't want to make a penny." ”

The bamboo basket of a penny is not willing to give it to someone who doesn't like it, Lin Xiaochu raised his eyebrows, our Xiaoyi is a little girl who holds a grudge. Qian matchmaker scolded the thief who stole flowers to sell flowers to Xiaoyi yesterday, and Xiaoyi hated it.

"I stole the old lady's flowers, and made them unhappy; stole the old lady's flowers, so that they don't grow tall...... "walked across the official road to the thatched house, first heard the money matchmaker who lived near the left scolded again, and then saw a figure jump high, jumping and scolding, like a dancing god.

It's quite a rhyme to scold people, Lin Xiaochu raised his eyebrows again, and Lin Xiaoyi blushed.

"Sister, who is she scolding?"

"Scolding the person who picked her flowers, we didn't pick them, if you want to say that the person who picks her flowers, she is also one."

The matchmaker who was dancing and scolding saw the two sisters approaching, and she was smiling on her face. Mrs. Qian was stunned, the little one in the past was anxious when she heard the scolding, but today she is also smiling, as if she is very happy to hear it.

"Aunt Qian, lost the flowers again?"

Lin Xiaochu took the initiative to say hello with a smile on his face. Mrs. Qian snorted and twisted her body to go home. Lin Xiaochu's slightly flattering voice came from behind him: "Aunt Qian's flowers are good, so someone steals them, like the tree flowers in our house, except for us to pick them ourselves, no one else picks them." ”

Xu Lai was scented with magnolia flowers in the breeze, and Mrs. Qian stood sideways at the head of her door, squinting at the two sisters. The big one is really good.,I've been scolding and talking back lately.。

Lin Xiaochu followed, two or three steps away from the matchmaker, and smiled, seeing that the matchmaker was a little weak-hearted, does this girl still have to reason with me?

"Aunt Qian, I will discuss something with you,"

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Qian put away her anger and looked up and down at Lin Xiaochutong, could it be that the girl is too old to say that she is a matchmaker?

Lin Xiaochu understood the meaning of Mrs. Qian's eyes, and scolded in her heart, but there was a lovely smile on her face:

"The neighbors all said that Aunt Qian is a person who loves to help, no, we sold flowers today, and in the end there were a few flowers left, and the guests also paid to give her the basket, so I gave it to her. Aunt Qian has a lot of old bamboo baskets at home, can you .....?"

"I'm going to use it again."

"Auntie has always taken care of me and Xiaoyi, shall we buy one?"

The corner of the money matchmaker's hanging eyes looked at the penny that Lin Xiaochu had raised with difficulty, and took the penny in disbelief to buy a bamboo basket.

"If it weren't for the fact that the eldest lady is a person who loves to help others, I wouldn't dare to say it."

Lin Xiaochu's smile on his face was like the morning light, and he looked as pure as a pool of flowing water. Rao is a woman who talks a lot about the streets and alleys, and she suddenly can't say anything with this smile.

"Sister-in-law Qian, it's not easy for these sisters, you should do a favor."

The fifth aunt came out of the house, helped Lin Xiaochu say a word, sat at the door and began to wash the clothes in the wooden basin. Lin Xiaochu's smile did not change, and he bowed flatteringly to the matchmaker, and sent a penny to the matchmaker.

Mrs. Qian entered the house and took out a new bamboo basket and handed it to Lin Xiaochu.

"Here, you're so raw. I don't think you know how to do business, and you only want to sell the last few flowers, and you don't want to do anything tomorrow. It's just a pity that my bamboo basket, the new bamboo basket costs more than a dozen yuan. ”

Lin Xiaochu haggled again, and the money matchmaker went in again. Lin Xiaochu, who was standing outside, stuck out his tongue and smiled at the fifth aunt, and Lin Xiaoyi walked over and gave the fifth aunt a thimble:

"For the fifth aunt."

"Girl, why spend money indiscriminately?"

"Shh......h

Lin Xiaochu silenced the fifth aunt, and then quietly pointed to the money matchmaker's mother-in-law's house. Only then did he walk up to the laughing fifth aunt and squatted down, and whispered to her: "Today, a guest bought a basket of flowers and gave this number." ”

"Girl, you're done,"

The fifth aunt is very fond of Lin Xiaochu and Lin Xiaoyi, who only have sisters at home, and usually try to help those who can help.

"Is Mrs. Qian at home?"

A big man in soap clothes walked over and let go of his throat. After shouting, I saw the handsome Lin Xiaochu and looked up and down a few times. Lin Xiaochu knew that this was Sun Erhai, a street fighter in the city.

"It's coming, it's his second brother, what's the matter with you, sit in the house quickly."

Qian Matchmaker, a woman in her forties, came out with a swift posture like an old butterfly wearing flowers. Only then did Sun Erhai withdraw his gaze from Lin Xiaochu and said to Mrs. Qian:

"How can you have spare time, go, there is something to make money in the city calling you to go."

Then attach your ear to the money matchmaker:

"Rich son."

These two people went in a hurry, one after the other, and the only thing Lin Xiaochu appreciated them was that Ben was very persistent; A bunch of places to belittle them, that's a long story. A street fighter, a sharp-mouthed matchmaker, it's not bad to call it wrong.

Sun Erhai, who was hurrying to the city on the road, and Mrs. Qian were talking.

"That girl is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and she looks good." This is Sun Erhai.

"You have a tigress at home, and you still have this idea?"

Mrs. Qian was disdainful, and Sun Erhai laughed:

"You mother-in-law thinks too much, let me tell you, there is a noble son in the city, and he wants to buy a girl, one must be smart, the second must be born well, and the third must be a white family, and the commission is fifty taels of silver."

"Fifty taels? This Lin family's daughter is too suitable, but there is one thing, she may not be reluctant. ”

The two of them could see the city gate, and Sun Erhai laughed:

"I'm afraid of her, as long as the son can fall in love, she won't have me."

"For fifty taels of silver, I have to trouble you."

As soon as I heard that it was fifty taels of silver, Xie Zhongren, the heart of the money matchmaker flew so much that the silver money jingled. and Sun Erhai hurried to the next place of the noble son. The matchmaker is in a hurry, this is a first-class room in a large inn, and on a few benches outside the door are seven or eight people and matchmakers in the city.

"You're calling me late, aren't you?"

"No, this is not the beginning, there is only one in that room, and the rest are not all waiting."

Sun Erhai said, sucking his stomach with a shy face, putting away the strong momentum he had just had outside, walking lightly to the door, and smiling at a family member: "I saw Mr. Chen just now, my surname is Sun, please report it." ”

"Wait, come one by one."

The family held the door with a cold face and was not accommodating, and Sun Erhai had no choice but to return. Several matchmakers and people sitting on the bench blamed him for glaring at him, and Sun Erhai glared back not to be outdone.

In the room, Mr. Chen was the person who asked Gongzi to buy flowers in the wine shop just now, and he sat at the bottom of Gongzi. The walls of this inn are not soundproofed, and the movement outside can be heard clearly.

"I don't want to be a son, I really adopt the casual opinion of my late life." Mr. Chen's son-in-law went to school and was enlightened, and he also felt that his son's mind could not be guessed. Buying a girl to open her face and accept the house was Mr. Chen's statement to Son's drunkenness, otherwise Childe really did it, Mr. Chen was surprised.

Childe's face was calm: "I am also an age that is familiar with the relationship between men and women, and it is his care and love that my uncle wants to release people in my room, but I may not like the person he likes." Speaking of this, the son was lazy: "How long will it take to come back when I enter Xi'er to clean up the courtyard, this slave wants me to stay in the inn for a few days." ”

The sun shines through the window paper, shining on the ground and looking at the strange shape, Childe stares at the sun, listening to the family walk in and stand in front of him and reply: "There are four people outside, two matchmakers, will Childe see you now?" ”

There was another sound of footsteps, and a handsome and white-faced little guy walked in, bent down and saluted: "Enter Xi'er and return to Gongzi, the courtyard has been cleaned up, and Gongzi can move back to live today." ”

"You slave, you're finally here," although Childe reproached, he didn't look angry, but said in a faint tone. Then he stood up and took his hands: "Then let's go." Mr. Chan please,"

Mr. Chen got up with Gongzi, and he waited for Gongzi to finish speaking: "Those people outside, let them see you in another courtyard tomorrow." The family agreed to open the curtain, and Mr. Chen and Gongzi walked out one after the other. Stopped outside the door, Childe's sparkling eyes looked at the people who came one by one, these eyes were not cold, but they could see the depths of people at a glance, so that the people who were in a hurry outside were all the same.

When they came to their senses, they only heard the sound of boots, and only one of Childe and Mr. Chen remained. Jin Xi'er followed, and a family member came out to catch them: "See you in the courtyard tomorrow, the son is not idle today." ”

Everyone believes this, and the son is out, and he must not be idle. A few people didn't dare to complain, but their faces were frustrated. It was like two matchmakers, waving handkerchiefs in their hands as if they were angry, and only then did they turn around and complain when they walked out of the door of the inn: "Called someone to wait in vain, what is going on." ”

Mrs. Qian and Sun Erhai also came out, and Sun Erhai also said disappointedly: "Which family is the son, Ming'er, let's go to see him in the other courtyard." ”
