The family members in the hall began to whisper to each other, thinking about how much of a Zhuangzi they had. Xiao Chu listened carefully, most of these people are old brokers, and they are the people who help the master take care of the industry. I didn't hear the words of experience, I only heard that it was all cautious: "Will it be signed for a few years?" If it's less than three years, it's not cost-effective. ”

It turns out that these people not only dare not come forward, but they are also calculating the long life of management. When the "buzzing" sound in the hall gradually subsided, Lin Xiaochu walked out and bent his knees to Old Madam Chu and said, "Old Madam, can you take care of the land outside the city?" "The people in the hall are in an uproar, such a little girl dares to come out to take care of things?

Old Madam Chu looked at Chu Huaixian, Chu Huaixian frowned, as if this incident was unexpected. The second master of Chu was shocked by the excitement in his head, and suddenly understood that this was the ghost behind Huaixian's back. Otherwise, how dare she come out of this girl?

The chief butler was the first to react and scolded Lin Xiaochu: "There is no place for you to speak? As soon as these words came out, the third master immediately smiled, lowered his head and pretended to dust off his clothes. The third lady was worried about this girl, and when she saw the smile in front of her husband, she also understood. Chu Huaixian still frowned, but now he was frowning and looking at the big housekeeper.

The second lady who knelt with him paid attention to his eyes and was also angry. This nephew is the most protective, and in the old years, the girl in his room was not dignified, and he protected it from being said. Now the big housekeeper says that he is a bad girl, of course he won't like it!

Sure enough, Chu Huaixian said slowly: "Since you come, you can come out!" Did grandmother say no? The big butler stepped back awkwardly, and Xiao Chu seized this opportunity to raise his voice to Old Madam Chu: "I can manage it well, I dare to sign a contract!" These words rang loudly, so that the uproar in the hall stopped, and everyone had an idea in their hearts, which was what Childe meant. The son and the second master came and went awkwardly, and everyone in the family heard about it.

Others think so, and Mrs. Chu thinks so too. She still had to go through the motions and asked Lin Xiaochu, "What are you going to do?" Xiao Chu said loudly: "I was a girl selling flowers before I entered the house, and I went out to Beijing a few times, and I also saw that most of the flowers and plants in Beijing came from the south. I think that some flowers and plants can be grown in Kyoto as well. ”

Chu Huaixian's frowning brows looked at Lin Xiaochu again, still unexpected. Second Master Chu was so angry that he was full of depression, he didn't want to be Huaixian, he was so good at pretending!

Old Madam Chu groaned, and Lin Xiaochu stood confidently. Girls who sell flowers may not know how to grow flowers, but when ordinary people hear the word selling flowers, they will have a misunderstanding and think that they can grow flowers. Sure enough, the old lady thought about it, and also frowned and asked Chu Huaixian: "What do you mean?" Chu Huaixian frowned at this time and smiled embarrassedly at his grandmother: "Is she okay?" Lin Xiaochu said loudly: "I can do it!" Chu Huaixian smiled embarrassedly again, and said to the old lady, "Please grandmother take the idea." ”

At this point in this play, the third master of Chu has been dusting off his clothes, and the third lady has nothing to do, but fortunately, she often has a fan in her hand, so she is fascinated by the beautiful banana above.

"Then write it down first, and then decide it in the evening." Old Madam Chu said that a steward sitting next to her with pen, ink, paper and inkstone had something to do, and wrote down Xiao Chu's name. If one comes out, someone will follow. Old Madam Chu also asked people to write it down, and in less than half an hour, this matter was clearly assigned. The old lady liked it very much, and asked if there was anyone else to talk to, so that everyone stepped back, leaving only their own family in the hall.

The third master knelt down at this time to plead for the second master: "It's all the family members who are not good, and it has nothing to do with the second brother." "The second master hated it deeply, just now you were sitting on your legs, and you watched the excitement well. Chu Huaixian also knelt down: "Second uncle is cautious in everything, but sometimes his ears are soft, and he can't help but plead with a few kind words from others." The second old man's face twitched, who said it in front of the old lady?

The two people in front of him, a brother and a nephew, are all pretending to be good people. Second Master Chu lowered his head and pretended to be remorseful, squeezing out a few tears: "The golden Buddha was sent to the palace, and the golden pagoda was also given by Prime Minister Zhang Cheng on the eldest brother's birthday, and only this one can be repaid." ”

Old Madam Chu sank her face: "You are confused! This golden pagoda is something that your father asked the monks to open when he was there, and you can't give this if you give anything! Chu Huaixian answered in his heart, the second uncle wanted to please, of course, he would give whatever people wanted. Because of his fame, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng asked for this by name.

At this time, it was useless, the things were also sent, and when the matter came out, it only made Second Master Chu be disciplined. The old lady has been trained, and the second master shed a few more tears, and resigned: "Huaixian is also older, and he goes out to play with his sons all day long, so it is better to give him some things, and you can also help me." ”

Old Madam Chu smiled lightly: "You think too much, I attacked you in front of your family today because you are a son, and you are scolded by the beating." If you think you can't manage it well, I'm not old, and I won't take care of it myself? I just hope you understand today. Except for Chu Huaixian, everyone in the hall was confused. I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that the thunder was loud and the rain was small.

After sending the old lady back to the room, the third old man said to the third lady: "I don't understand, I thought that my mother would deal with the second brother, and I didn't want her to say anything." The third lady was not without resentment: "In my mother's heart, there is still a second master." "It's not like the third master, he was born to his aunt, and he is always discriminated against in this family.

The third master was so choked that he couldn't speak, turned around and walked away silently.

Everyone dispersed, and Old Madam Chu let the silver painting thump, and she smiled crookedly from time to time. Yinhua saw that she was in a good mood today, and asked strangely: "When the matter of the second master came out, I thought that the old lady would be angry, so I let people stew longan and send it, I don't want the old lady to like it today." ”

Old Madam Chu smiled: "The son has grown up, of course I like it." "Yinhua doesn't speak, the most precious thing in this family is Gongzi Huaixian, the second master feels that he is conscientious and conscientious, and he has merit from time to time. He didn't know that in Mrs. Chu's heart, everything he did was to pave the way for his son. The son saw the shortcomings of housework, and the old lady liked it and felt that her grandson was much more sensible.

"You said that girl named Xiaochu, why does she just want to plant flowers?" Old Madam Chu had this question, and the silver painting scrutinized it and said, "I think this is what Gongzi meant." A few years ago, he also said that he had to go to the deep mountains and dense forests, where there was a spring water, so that he could find the masters. Childe wants this grange for fun. ”

Old Madam Chu shook her head, with a deep thought on her face: "No, this Tianzhuangzi is close to Prime Minister Zhang's house, but it's not good, and there will be some disputes every year." Either his cattle came running, or what we raised flew away, could it be that in order to no longer dispute, the son planted flowers instead of crops? ”

The silver painting didn't know either, and only followed the words of Old Madam Chu. As he was talking, someone under the window replied: "Mrs. Sangu is here," Old Mrs. Chu smiled: "Let her in." The third aunt came in crying, and cried in front of Mrs. Chu's couch: "Everyone else stepped on me, and my aunt also stepped on me, and cut my messenger, I didn't even know." ”

Yinhua stopped her: "If you have something to say, what are you crying about!" Mrs. Sangu stopped crying bitterly, and looked at Mrs. Chu with a face covered with tears, just like looking at a bright light in the night. This bright light is not as peaceful as usual, today is gloomy: "I don't ask you have been polite, you still come to ask me?" You have been in charge for five years, why is the interest on Zhuangzi getting less and less every year? ”

"That's because Emperor Zhang's family is too arrogant, and there are natural disasters, and there is little interest." The cousin's wife defended, and a cold light shot out of Old Madam Chu's eyes: "What's the matter with the tenants' rent being higher than in previous years?" You come in less, but you receive more! The third aunt was anxious to confess the second master: "This is what the second master knows, old lady, if the second master doesn't know, where do we have the courage?" ”

Old Madam Chu put away her cold color and leaned comfortably on the couch: "Don't say that my son is not good, whether he is good or not, I understand in my heart." You used to be black, and I don't want it anymore. I don't want you to take care of things anymore, do you need me to tell you personally? Looking at the third aunt who was stunned on the couch, Mrs. Chu smiled kindly, I didn't speak when you people were dark for a long time, just waiting for my grandson to see it. If you want to talk about the black money, the family is not waiting to make it.

Xiao Chu was in the study at this time, she dispersed with her family, and Jin Xi'er came over to let her wait in the study. After Chu Huaixian came back, he took out a list and showed it to Lin Xiaochu, and saw that Lin Xiaochu bit his lip.

"See clearly?" Chu Huaixian smiled, Lin Xiaochu held the paper in both hands, and nodded reluctantly: "See clearly." "There are a number of names on this list, and it is clear what someone is in charge of and what someone is in charge of. Chu Huaixian had long been willing to tidy up the housework, and Lin Xiaochu did a good job for him today.

Xiao Chu was unwilling: "What about me?" She pointed to one or two familiar names on it and said, "If you want me to do it, it's better than them." "Chu Huaixian, who beat Second Master Chu hard today, is in a better mood than Old Lady Chu. Thinking that Lin Xiaochu had contributed a lot, Chu Huaixian decided to be kind once: "This Zhuangzi is full of flowers, and it doesn't need a lot." In this way, a piece of land adjacent to Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's house is set out, and it is up to you whether you rent it or manage it for me. ”

"I'll rent!" Xiao Chu hurriedly grabbed the words. Chu Huaixian smiled: "Why? Xiao Chu flattened his mouth: "If you want to take care of the son, you have to listen to the son." To tell you the truth, I've always wanted to have a piece of land to grow flowers, and I don't like to listen to other people. "Lin Xiaochu, who understood that he was a son again, looked at Chu Huaixian hopefully, and gave me this land, I don't feel that I have contributed in vain.

After a while, Lin Xiaochuxin walked out of the study with satisfaction, and Chu Huaixian was still reminiscing about what he had just done in the study. Thinking of the embarrassment of the second master at the beginning, Chu Huaixian wanted to laugh. After smiling, he took down the pen from the pen mountain, spread out a piece of letterhead, and began to write to his father. These things in the family are not Chu Huaixian's own initiative.

Writing and writing, thinking of Lin Xiaochu, Chu Huaixian smiled slightly.
