Chapter 8, Childe must speak to count

Chu Huaixian sat in the study, slowly sorting out his book. Jin Xi'er ran back and forth from time to time, from the hall to the study, and passed back the words of Steward Pang and the matchmaker in the hall.

When she came in again, Jin Xi'er had a smile on her face, but she didn't say anything from the hall: "Childe, the girl who sells flowers is at the door, saying that she wants to see Childe." ”

Flower Girl? Chu Huaixian also felt strange: "What did she say?" Jin Xi'er smiled at this: "I said that I would give my son a share of the money." ”

Chu Huaixian, who smiled, said: "Then you accept it." Jin Xi'er smiled: "She refused to give it to the slave, saying that she still had something to say to her son." ”

Chu Huaixian looked at the book in his hand before standing up and walking outside, followed by Jin Xi'er.

The courtyard is also divided into inner and outer doors, Lin Xiaochu was blocked at the gate, and felt that it took a long time to see Jin Xi'er coming over: "Come with me." After passing the shadow wall, I didn't walk a few steps, it was a small side hall, Chu Huaixian was inside, watching Lin Xiaochu walk in.

"What's the matter with you?"

Lin Xiaochu hesitated to look at Jin Xi'er's face, and Jin Xi'er just smiled: "Our son has a lot of things, if the girl has something to say, please say it quickly." "Childe doesn't speak, Jinxi'er is just happy, I don't leave.

There are only three people in the hall, and of course Chu Huaixian will not let Jin Xi'er leave and become a lonely man and widow to stay here. The poor girl who sells flowers has seen two sides and is clever and pleasing, but the poor man who took the opportunity to climb up the high branches, Chu Huaixian did not meet but heard a lot.

"I have something to do without words." Lin Xiaochu hesitated again, and Chu Huaixian, who didn't understand her intention, had no expression on his face.

Lin Xiaochu had to say it in front of the smiling slave next to her, she was reluctant to say it in front of people, because she was afraid that one more person would know that she would be embarrassed after being rejected.

"Childe said that the flowers will be sold by me, and they will be divided into three or seven?" When Lin Xiaochu said this, Chu Huaixian couldn't help but be happy, and Jin Xi'er opened her eyes in surprise, not understanding what was going on.

Lin Xiaochu snorted and said the following words: "I want to beg Gongzi, I can't do it for seven or three lines, I will hand over the money from selling every day late and evening, just ask Gongzi to promise me." Seeing Chu Huaixian's eyebrows raised slightly, Lin Xiaochu hurriedly continued: "This radius of a hundred miles, everyone knows that you have a good reputation for helping people, and you cherish the old and pity the ......poor the most."

Jin Xi'er only grinned when she heard it, how many years has Childe not been here, and this reputation has spread from the capital to here? Chu Gongzi was fun and interesting at first hearing, but at the end, the flower girl in front of him gently stirred her fingers together, and her body trembled slightly.

Lin Xiaochu, who couldn't hear Chu Gongzi's reply, became more and more unconfident, lowered his head in frustration, and forced the last few sentences to finish: "I've been injured for a few days, and I haven't earned money for a few days, if I don't make up for those days, there will be no way to sell when there is no flower to sell, Gongzi, you are generous and benevolent, do me a favor." ”

For the sake of a few branches and flowers, generosity and benevolence have come out. Chu Huaixian heard the order to enter Xi'er: "Let people move the ladder and take her to pick flowers." Jin Xi'er agreed, and said to the overjoyed Lin Xiaochu: "Our son is generous and benevolent, girl, you come with me." ”

The son has always been kind-hearted, and this girl even talked about it, even Jin Xi'er felt that it was not easy for her. At least what kind of injury she raised, Jin Xi'er is the same as Gongzi, and she can understand it when she hears it.

Lin Xiaochu, who was overjoyed, did not forget to bow a few times to Chu Gongzi first, and Chu Gongzi got up and explained to her: "Let others pick it, you just watch it below." After taking two steps, he turned back and taunted her: "If you fall into the pool again, you are afraid of crushing my fish." Then Chu Huaixian, who was in Weile, went to the room for a long time.

Lin Xiaochu in the back blushed angrily, and when he saw Jin Xi'er again, he couldn't help laughing, so he could only pretend that he was okay and follow Jin Xi'er behind.

The son of the Chu family is so easy to speak, Lin Xiaochu is unexpected, she is ready to say it again, and she doesn't want to say it just one set of words. It can be seen that acting skills are important in life, and acting skills are the most important.

Chu Gongzi, who returned to the room, didn't know why he agreed with her, maybe he really realized that it was not easy for her. As soon as he sat in the room for a while, Mr. Chen came in and smiled: "Childe has picked a good person?" ”

Jin Xi'er inquired about Lin Xiaochu, and Jin Xi'er had just learned the tongue from Mr. Chen, and Jin Xi'er felt that the son was enveloping this girl, so he would agree to her.

Hearing Mr. Chen's words, Chu Huaixian was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he was buying a girl, so as to prevent the second uncle from stuffing people around him. The people stuffed by the second uncle may not be used by the son, but Chu Huaixian is unwilling to spend this spirit. If the second uncle stuffed a person who was very loyal to him, Chu Huaixian felt that it was best to pick one and save a lot of trouble.

"I forgot," Chu Huaixian, who had been reminded, frowned slightly: "This girl, is she willing?" Mr. Chen came up with another idea: "Wait for her to sell the flowers for a few days, and then tell her that it's not too late." ”

Chu Huaixian nodded: "Reasonable." The two of them chatted for a while, and a letter came from the door: "From Beijing." Mr. Chen, who was sitting drinking tea, watched Chu Huaixian open the letter, and his face changed color.

Chu Huaixian, who raised his hand to slap the case, was slightly angry: "How can this be reasonable!" He handed the letter to Mr. Chen: "The second uncle said that he was afraid that I would not be used to living here, so he sent me two servants." ”

It was originally an uncle and nephew's little careful knot, but like this, Chu Huaixian's heart to resist was even heavier. He waited for Mr. Chen to read the letter with a gloomy face, thinking that the letter said that people would arrive tomorrow. Hum!

Mr. Chen is not a party to the party, he has an idea if he is not angry: "It's two girls who came, isn't it good for the son to call people more?" Only then did Chu Huaixian say: "Do you know why I avoided it?" I wanted to snub him and let him understand for himself. When I was in Beijing, my second uncle stuffed a girl in my room, and he was very close to me. I'm not Megumi Yanashita, and I also have the temperament of an ordinary person. It's just that this is forced, and I definitely don't want it. ”

"The girls all want to cling to the son," Mr. Chen laughed when he heard it: "It's not the second master's idea, it's not the people sent by the second master, they are like this." It's just that the son doesn't hear the three words of the second master, so he won't be so troubled. ”

This also makes sense, Chu Huaixian's gloomy face was unraveled, thinking about it, it was two girls who came, and said to Mr. Chen at the moment: "Okay, I'll give it to the boys." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Chu Huaixian was about to laugh, and called outside to bring in Xi'er in: "What are the people in the front hall saying?" Then let Pang report the names of the children who are not married in this courtyard to me. ”

"Childe, good countermeasures." Mr. Chen is joking, not complimenting. Childe has always had a lot of ideas, and he was unwilling to talk to the second master and embarrass the second master, so he avoided Beijing. The second master is so boring, Mr. Chen wants to laugh, he is destined to touch a nail.

Jin Xi'er went to the front hall and listened to what was still being said inside. Pang sat with a few people and a few matchmakers, and listened patiently to them.

"It's so decided, before sending it, I should take care of it first, my appearance should be good, my character should be good, and I don't have a wild temperament. Otherwise, if you send it or not, or throw it out, I will settle the account with you separately. "Steward Pang sat for half the morning, and chose seven or eight, so they could send them over tomorrow to see each other.

Steward Pang, who sent these people away, came to see Gongzi with a roster of unmarried boys. Chu Huaixian took it in his hand and slowly flipped it over, and then listened to Steward Pang's reply.

"What's the name of the person you're going to send?"

"Wang Xiaohua, Sixth Sister Zhang, Lin Xiaochu, Lin Hehua......" Chu Gongzi felt relieved when he heard Lin Xiaochu's three words. This girl is the predecessor of her aunt, and a powerful and rich family like Chu Gongzi will not take into account human rights, nor will she consider that Lin Xiaochu is a modern person.

As long as you give more money and the person is good, this girl should agree. Chu Gongzi thought about it like this, and nodded with satisfaction with Steward Pang: "Let her come and see each other tomorrow, and I'll sit in the inner room." ”

This matter was arranged, and then I told Steward Pang that someone would come to Beijing tomorrow: "It's a few servants, and the second master is sending it to me urgently, in fact, I don't think it's necessary." Chu Gongzi said this, and then let Pang Guan go: "Arrange a place for them to live first." ”

There are various means to envelop a person, and when Chu Huaixian sat alone in the room, he thought about tipping for Lin Xiaochu, a flower girl. Isn't it a steady person? If not, it will be difficult to return in the future, and it will also make the family see jokes and say that the son has picked the wrong person.

In the evening, Lin Xiaochu came home and came back with a heavy string of money. I went to the door of the Chu family, and entered Xi'er to pass on the words of the son: "You don't have to come every day, give it once a month." Lin Xiaochu had the idea, the son may not want this money, he has sweaty money one by one, can he bear to ask for it? If he endures it, Lin Xiaochu can only be sad, and there is no other way to give him.

I don't want it today, and I don't want it today. After returning home, Lin Xiaochu was still sad. Mrs. Qian was waiting at home, and when she saw her come back, she smiled with her eyebrows: "Miss Xiaochu, I can handle what you asked me to do." It's really hard work, Ming'er, I'll take you to the Chu family to see each other. ”

Lin Xiaochu, who was immersed in a pile of copper coins in his arms, remembered that Lin Xiaochu was hesitant to smile at the money matchmaker: "Lotus is better, my hands are clumsy and my mouth is stupid, you can only take lotus flowers." ”

Lotus came from behind, and the lotus who heard all of Lin Xiaochu's words was full of smiles, and came over to hug Xiaochu's shoulder, a little emotional: "Let's go together, if both of us go in, we will take care of each other." ”

Mrs. Qian smiled even more: "A month is a lot of money," Mrs. Qian accidentally said without a smile: "Even the average girl has five hundred dollars a month, and the jewelry on her head and the clothes on her body are not counted." ”

If you want to talk about Chu Gongzi and his person, Lin Xiaochu has no bad feelings, at least he can be regarded as giving himself a way to make a living. It is with this way of making a living that Lin Xiaochu feels that he doesn't have to be a girl. Running on the street with a basket of flowers, the ancients would have felt that the female dependents who showed their heads were undignified, but let Lin Xiaochu, a modern person, look at it and be a girl for others, and it is even worse to lower her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes.
