Chapter 20, the old man bullies the newcomer

Lin Xiaochu, who reluctantly agreed with this idea, followed Chu Gongzi to the second gate. There are fragrant flowers and trees on both sides, and there are stone paths with a little gravel at the feet. On the clean stone path, Lin Xiaochu felt that with his footsteps, blood was dripping step by step. It is his heart that drips out and cherishes the silver, and cherishes himself.

At the beginning, I thought about hiding in the Chu family, but now I have to go.

Inside the second gate, Lin Xiaochu had been here, but she didn't see it all. As Chu Gongzi came to his residence, he first heard a joyful shout: "Xiao Chu, you are here too." "Lotus stood under the porch and was surprised at Xiao Chu.

Although behind Chu Gongzi, Lin Xiaochu felt that he might not like it. The house is extremely quiet in this summer, except for the chirping of birds and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

After looking at the lotus flower and shouting, he immediately lowered his head in a cramped manner, and Lin Xiaochu could guess that Gongzi had frowned just now. The girl shouted in front of the owner, and none of the ancient books said that she liked it.

A red balustrade in the middle of the green trees, and a dozen birds are placed under the porch. In the fragrant aroma, there is a woody fragrance with small white flowers, as if quietly climbing onto the window lattice without hiding from the owner. If you weren't a girl, this would be a good place to live.

Lotus has suffered a lot of trouble these days, and she thinks that if Xiao Chu also comes, at least she will be a companion. Staying in spring and summer didn't let her serve tea and water again, and only let her stand outside and wait for the messenger.

Suddenly seeing Lin Xiaochu, the lotus was pleasantly surprised, and saw that the son frowned and was displeased. She lowered her head in fright, and saw the hem of Gongzi's clothes appear in her eyes, and Lin Xiaochu, who was behind Gongzi Chu, was anxious for her, and reminded in a low voice: "Knock on the curtain." ”

The lotus that has just woken up has not always been so stupid, it is here that the spring and summer are frightened. She stretched out her hand and was about to open the curtain, but Chu Gongzi took a step back and said, "You retreat." Turning around to look at Lin Xiaochu: "Knock on the curtain." ”

The girl Xiaochu was about to be on an errand, Lin Xiaochu took a step forward and opened the door curtain, and he was also a little uneasy. Chu Gongzi is tall, she is short, and no matter how hard she fights, she can't beat high.

"That's it," Chu Huaixian bowed his head and came in, not forgetting to smile at her. I have already seen it in the house in the spring and summer, and I like it because the lotus is clumsy and falls in the eyes of the son, and I don't want to kill a Cheng bite the gold halfway, and this pretty girl behind the son is also a new girl? Liuchun Liuxia's face turned white all of a sudden, this looked at the willow eyebrows thin, the tips of the eyes into the mane, just looking at it is not the timidity of the lotus.

The left girl and the right girl came in, and before coming to stay in the spring and summer, she was told by the second master of Chu, if the son didn't like it, or they didn't wait well, then go out of the second door. These two people are the sons of the family, and their mothers and sons are in the Chu family, so they feel that they can't afford to lose this person.

"I'll study ink," Liuchun Liuxia's eyes followed Childe, and he couldn't wait to be in front of others, comprehending Childe's gesture and look. Seeing Chu Huaixian sitting down in front of the bookcase near the window, Liuchun came over first to offer his courtesy.

Chu Huaixian straightened his face, and Liuchun timidly stopped. "Xiao Chu, don't you want to study ink and wash the pen?" Chu Huaixian put on a smile on Lin Xiaochu.

Lin Xiaochu came over diligently, but actually muttered in his heart. This is the difference between cold and warm, and if you don't stand up, you will make enemies first.

After Mo Yan wrote the contract, Chu Huaixian pushed it to Lin Xiaochu: "The ink hasn't dried yet, you look at it like this." Can you read it? Lin Xiaochu asked Chu Huaixian about the traditional Chinese characters he didn't know.

It says three years, and the silver is three hundred taels. Everything else is clear, and in the end, if it is a breach of contract, it will be sent to the government. Chu Huaixian pointed to this sentence with his finger: "You can see clearly, I am not the idler, I am not afraid of you running." ”

Lin Xiaochu smiled bitterly, thinking that Sun Erhai had already left with the silver. She looked at Chu Huaixian with open eyes, I don't agree now, and the son can still take back Sun Erhai's silver.

"You can't say it now, I'll give you back to that idler, and let him dispose of you." Chu Huaixian felt that this girl was too tough, not like the lotus outside, and she couldn't stretch her waist after scolding a few words.

There was a pen that Chu Huaixian had used just now on the case, Lin Xiaochu reached out and picked it up, sighed at the contract, and now it was too late to say that he didn't agree. She wrote her name on the deed. The crooked words looked at Chu Huaixian and wanted to laugh: "At least it's clear, it's good to be able to write." ”

The other words on the contract are elegant and powerful, which are Chu Huaixian's; Add Lin Xiaochu's crooked words, which look like graffiti on a work of art. Lin Xiaochu pretended not to see it, and felt embarrassed when he looked at it more. She signed both contracts, looked at Mo Gan, and without waiting for Chu Huaixian to speak, she carefully put away one of them, and then sighed.

The new master is about to speak: "In the future, you are not allowed to lament for nothing, who buys a girl likes to have a sad face all day long." Besides, Childe, I am your savior. At this time, Chu Huaixian wanted to be in love with Lin Xiaochu, and he was lazy: "If I don't help you, how will the idler treat you?" ”

This matter should not be thought about, Lin Xiaochu sincerely thanked: "Thank you Gongzi for saving me." Chu Huaixian advised again: "You have to keep it in mind and be an errand by my side." ”

After explaining these words, Chu Huaixian looked at Liuchun Liuxia, who retreated to the door: "Take Xiaochu to change clothes, teach her the rules in the room, and let her be on an errand at night." ”

Liuchun bowed and agreed, and whispered to Lin Xiaochu: "Come with me." Lin Xiaochu listened to her speech, her voice was soft and clear, and from this voice, she could think that the lotus flower was here, and she might not have a good time.

Bypassing the front of this house, there are several houses in the bamboo forest behind, and Liuchun pushed open one of the carved red lacquer doors, which contained two bed tents, a wooden couch, and a round table in the middle, on which tea sets and other things were placed. The house is good, there is no bad house here.

"You live with Lotus, don't be so lazy as her," Liuchun said contemptuously in his voice: "It's not good for you to serve tea and water in the son's room when you first come, so start by sprinkling and sweeping the yard." Although there are people who wash clothes, but our clothes are not good to be sent out to wash, you and lotus wash clothes and wipe the floor together, and learn all kinds of work from scratch. ”

Lin Xiaochu, who has just arrived, puts patience first. The words that the fifth aunt said, Sun Erhai has three or five confidants, and these words have been printed on Lin Xiaochu since noon. Lin Xiaochu knew that Chu Gongzi was kind to herself, and the girls would be uncomfortable and excluded, but her original intention was to make friends with more people, so that it would be much more comfortable to stay here. Besides, there is another advantage of making more friends, which is that it is convenient for her to leave at any time in the future.

Contemptuous of the lotus in the face of Liuchun, Lin Xiaochu did not hug the grievances. When you are new to an unfamiliar place, it is not uncommon to be ostracized. She thanked politely: "Please let my sister teach me a lot, and I will learn from my sister." ”

Liuchun pouted, the old man bullied the newcomer, of course, there was a little bit everywhere. She and Liuxia are used to bullying lotus, and this Lin Xiaochu doesn't take it to heart.

"You learn slowly, and when you don't know, don't go to the front of the child, even if the son calls you, you have to know that your identity is back. If you don't serve well, you have to eat the board. Liuchun scared Lin Xiaochu again, Gongzi likes clever people, and Lotus was so frightened that she cowered, because she didn't like her all the time.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Liuxia came and threw the clothes in his hand. Lin Xiaochu hurriedly went to pick it up, but two of them still fell to the ground. The two girls watched her scramble to pick up her clothes, and they both smiled with their lips pursed.

Liuxia is even more polite, she has a light red shirt and a green Luo skirt, and her hands are on her waist, and she looks like a powerful person. "Ming'er gets up on the fifth watch, if you don't get up and fight, the rules are not learned in a day, and you can't learn slowly. This scale has to follow us. ”

In the midst of the domineering, two rough mothers-in-law came in carrying water, these two were polite, and they were also people who were in charge at first glance: "The hot water is here, it's the new sister who wants to take a bath." ”

"What a new sister, just a hairy girl." Liuxia said this, and then Lin Xiaochu, who was thinking about the kindness, couldn't help but say in his heart, you are also a girl!

The hot water barrel was put down, and Liuchun and Liuxia covered their noses: "You washed and changed into clothes, and lost your clothes, a big piece of this clothes, what is this?" ”

"Two sisters, this is the patch." Haven't you seen a patch?

Liuchun and Liuxia smiled: "Patch girl," and then left hand in hand: "There is no one in front of Childe, let's not talk nonsense with her." The two of them walked away, Lin Xiaochu rubbed his face that had been laughing with him in the back, a little stiff and sour, just laughing, people didn't appreciate it.

Childe said that he would be on an errand at dinner, and Lin Xiaochu would wash the day and afternoon. The rough mothers-in-law came to collect the wooden barrels, and Xiao Chu inquired with them: "Where can I wash the clothes, I will wash and put away the clothes." ”

"Give it to me, girl, and I'll wash it and give it back to you." Moms reached out to pick it up. Liu Chunlai walked behind him, and scolded with a sinking face: "Eventful!" Outside of this dress, she was sick in her poor house. A fire burned away and could not be kept. ”

The rough mother-in-law agreed repeatedly, but Lin Xiaochu was reluctant to hold the clothes. Liuchun, who was unwilling to take it himself, scolded the two rough mothers-in-law again: "Don't take it away yet." ”

Lin Xiaochu stood stunned, and unexpectedly swept in front of him, accompanied by Liuchun's scolding: "What are you doing in a daze, Gongzi asked you to go on an errand, quickly wipe the ground." ”

Lin Xiaochu, who swallowed his anger and let go of this moment, felt that he was afraid that it would be more difficult to make friends with these two people. was escorted by Liuchun to the front room, but Chu Gongzi and Mr. Chen were not there, and they went to the garden before dinner.

A basin of water, a cloth to wipe the floor, is ordered to bring the lotus. Liuchun and Liuxia only cleaned up the pens and tea bowls used by the son, and let Xiaochu and Lotus do the rough work.

Lotus reminded in a low voice: "Xiao Chu, your hair is not dry, you have wiped it in front of you, and it is wet in the back." Xiao Chu, who thought he was not angry, found out that he was confused. I know that this house is not easy to stay, and I don't want these two little tigresses to be so fierce.

When Chu Huaixian came in again, Lin Xiaochu was lying on the ground, his shoulders were wet with hastily pulled hair, and he was holding a cloth in his hand, which was being wiped very carefully.
