Chapter 60, The True Face of an Ancient Man
The two of them had nothing to say, Lin Xiaochu was in a daze and wanted to fall asleep, when he heard Chu Huaixian shouting to himself: "Pour tea." When he got up and poured tea, Chu Huaixian took it in his clothes. What time did the candlelight sprinkle on his arm, and Childe practiced martial arts every day, and he only moved his arm to make people feel full of strength.
Under the red candlelight, Xiao Chu's inexplicable red face was reflected in Chu Huaixian's eyes as candlelight, but this red halo was extremely moving, Chu Huaixian took a look at it more, and returned the dry tea bowl to Lin Xiaochu. fell asleep again, Chu Huaixian fell asleep quickly, and Lin Xiaochu was completely sleepy. She thought about what Fang Xiang said, it is not easy for a woman. Lin Xiaochu was covered with a quilt, and it was rare to have a grudge. Suddenly thinking of Chu Huaixian's handsome face, Lin Xiaochu was really cranky tonight.
Rubbing his eyes when he heard the movement in the morning, Childe got up, and the girls had already come in. Winter Ran smiled on his face, this Xiao Chu is quite able to sleep. Lin Xiaochu hurriedly wanted to find something to do, and Chu Huaixian casually ordered: "My coat yesterday was torn off from a fight, and you took it and gave it to the needle and thread man to sew it." ”
Lin Xiaochu agreed, and went to look for the coat hanging on the gold-painted hanger. Holding it in his hand to check where it was broken, he turned over a water-red handkerchief in his sleeve, because it was close, and the aroma was only smelled by Xiao Chu alone. Chu Huaixian saw her stunned in the corner of his eyes, and he also remembered it. Walking two steps to Xiao Chu's side, his tall body blocked the girl's sight, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed the handkerchief and stuffed it into his sleeve.
After doing this, Xiao Chu lowered his head and felt embarrassed, Chu Huaixian was also a little uncomfortable, his fingers twisted on Xiao Chu's hand again, and said, "Send it out quickly." Lin Xiaochu's face was flushed, and the twisted place on his hand was like a fire, and the weather was still cold outside, so he felt better.
Where did the veil come from? Needless to say. Lin Xiaochu, who walked through the porch to find a needleman in the wing, was in a calm mood little by little. Youth and youth last night, this is what teenagers will have when they are young. Childe is handsome and considerate, sometimes under pressure and sometimes enlightened, and saved Lin Xiaochu again in Beijing, Lin Xiaochu only thought about it once and was not out of line, and in the morning he was beaten back to his original shape by the fragrance on the handkerchief.
After sending the clothes out and not in a hurry to return to the room, Xiao Chu leaned on the carved red lacquer pillar and looked at the plum blossoms in the courtyard. It is legitimate for the ancients to take concubines to go to Qinglou, and the son is young, even in modern times, some people shout that this demand is normal. Lin Xiaochu just regretted it, but he encountered it himself.
A voice came from behind him: "If you don't go into the room and wait, it's not right to be distracted here." Standing behind is Chunhong, in just these days, Chunhong has lost a lot of weight. The eyes were originally autumn water, but now the eye sockets are sunken, and some of them are like autumn water about to flood, and this autumn water is actually flooding every day at night.
Chunhong raised her face, still the style of the girl in front of her: "Early in the morning, you will be lazy." Lin Xiaochu felt that anger came from his heart, which was his mood here and now. Chunhong stared at herself from time to time and said a few words, just to show that she was inferior to her. There was a mother who muttered words behind her back, and the words came from the mouth of a good person. The mother said privately: "She can't wait at all, how can she bring Chunhong down." ”
Lin Xiaochu, who has not served many people, is definitely not as good as the slave Chunhong. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaochu was even more vicious, and the pity of the child last night was beaten to Java by Chunhong's faction and did not return. Xiao Chu didn't even need to be disdainful and contemptuous, and went to the room as if he hadn't heard it.
Chunhong's face was pale and she stayed there, and it didn't feel good to be treated as a gust of wind. No matter how bad Chunhong is, her parents are still housekeepers. The mother-in-law who swept the corridor came over with a broom and relieved Chunhong of the embarrassment: "You just have to wait, she won't stay for a few days and will come down." "Sad people can stand up in the autumn wind, hearing this warm sentence to her, Chunhong snorted, and tears rolled down. Son-in-law is married, and there will be an aunt by his side, what is wrong with me? Lin Xiaochu, a wild girl who doesn't know where to come, has become good.
Chunhong didn't understand anything, and it felt like things were unreasonable. As far as the little maid is concerned, the figure is that someone with status is on top; But the person in the upper position can choose, and he can go by his own feelings, which is not a reasonable thing.
encountered Chunhong's stirring like this, Lin Xiaochu's embarrassed thoughts when he saw the handkerchief also flew away. It was Chu Huaixian who was uncomfortable, called Lin Xiaochu over after breakfast, and whispered to her: "Nothing, don't talk nonsense." The master and servant both blushed, Lin Xiaochu came out, and he wanted to slander again in his heart, so he didn't go if he was afraid that people would know.
If you want to say what this Chu family Xiaochu likes the most, it is the flowers and plants of this family. She and Dong Dye talked about the orchids in the room: "The orchids are delicate, and we often smell incense in our room, and the flowers are also damaged." ”
Dong Dye agreed: "The flower craftsman said that this flower is Mo Lan, and it will be incense in the room when it opens, and there is other incense in the room, and I also feel awkward." Then he whispered into the room: "Kaoru is used to it, how can I do it without Kaoru?" "Chu Huaixian, who was sitting behind the bookcase in the room, was silent.
After a while, I asked for tea in the room, and Xiao Chu pushed the winter dye, and the winter dye was the most afraid of itching, and he was about to laugh when he was pushed on his waist. Chu Huaixian listened to the giggling and asked with a smile: "Where's the tea?" Winter Dye poured it down and sent it away, still smiling. came back and pointed at Xiao Chu: "You're lazy." Chunhong is now leading the little girl to do needle fingers, and looks at them with such a sloppy and unhappy look.
"By the way, Xiao Chu, you haven't invited guests to this room yet," Dong Ran kindly pointed out: "There are more than a dozen people in our courtyard, and you won't see some of them at night." Everyone who comes invites you to have a show, and you will know everyone after you have invited it. This is the long-term way that Xiao Chu has left, and Xiao Chu said gratefully: "I have this heart, but where to prepare the dishes." ”
Xia Lu also interjected: "Take five taels of silver, and I'll prepare it for you." Said that he and Dong Ran squeezed his eyes and smiled, and Dong Ran was poor again: "Five taels of silver? Xiao Chu's dowry is going to be one less," Xiao Chu opened his hand and asked for an itch from Dong Ran, Dong Ran was so frightened that he stepped back, and said with a smile: "One or two silver will be enough, don't be good, just sit down." ”
"Two taels of silver are more decent, and by the way, I will tell a few housekeepers who must go, they will not lose their share when they come, and we will eat by ourselves if they don't come." Xiao Chu heard that they said well, so he didn't feel sorry for the two months of moon silver. The fast-mouthed Dong Ran said again: "Besides, Xiao Chu, you have made a lot of money with rouge, right?" ”
Lin Xiaochu smiled bitterly: "Where is it," Rouge only sold a dozen boxes, and sent out five or six boxes, and one box fell under the childe's chair, I don't know which one is cheaper. Lin Xiaochu couldn't think about it again, whether the silk handkerchief in the morning was exchanged for my rouge. Saying that Chu Huaixian was worthless, Lin Xiaochu snickered again.
"If you can bring it in, you can do it," Dong Dye gave an idea: "You just tell the place, the girls can buy it, and it will be cheaper to report your name." ”
Xiao Chu was thinking about it, and Xia Lu complained: "These compradors, I don't know why most of the rouge they bought can't be used. If we want to use some of them, we have to buy them ourselves. ”
Xiao Chu, who listened to it, was about to inquire, Chunhong pursed her lips, and said in a slightly raised voice: "It's good to do a good job." "Everyone doesn't speak, Xia Lu and other big girls have some feelings for Chunhong, although they used to have a bickering, now they refuse to step on people. Xiao Chu pulled Dong Ran out and told her: "I have a treat, but my sister helps me do it." ”
Dong Ran agreed to come down, saying that Gongzi would go out in the afternoon and go to the kitchen with Xiaochu. Chu Huaixian was not there at noon, and the old lady went to eat in the room, saying that he would go outside. Dong Ran and Xiao Chu went to the kitchen, Xiao Chu carried two taels of silver in his arms, and walked all the way to see the flowers all the way. Walking to the place where he was wronged, Xiao Chu said: "The big girl's color painting, I also want to invite." ”
Caihua went home sick the next day, thinking that he wouldn't get sick for Xiao Chu's affairs. Dong Ran was surprised when he heard it: "You haven't heard of it, the color painting is not good, and it was picked up by the second master." Xiao Chu hurriedly said when he heard this: "What's wrong?" ”
Two mothers came in front of them, and said with a smile on their faces: "Where are the girls?" Dong Ran told a lie, and when he and Xiao Chu walked to no one's place, he told her: "When Yujie's matter came out, the second master interrogated the girls in the eldest girl's room one by one, saying that someone could help him do such a thing." Everyone in the eldest girl's room pointed out that the color painting was not good, and the second master beat her and said it all. It turned out that the man was still spending the night at home, and Caihua lived with Yujie, and Caihua got Yujie's money, so he avoided it. ”
On both sides are red plum and white snow and frost green trees, looking like a painting from a distance, and looking like a jade carving from a distance. Dong Ran pointed to this scene and sighed: "We have a lot of family, just like the pond in the garden, it looks like a decent person and a clean person on the surface. ”
I have long seen the winter dye talking, and Xiao Chu will laugh at it. Thinking about it, this is very reasonable, and I don't want it to come from the mouth of a girl who can't read big words. It can be seen that there are girls in everyone who have knowledge.
Walking outside the kitchen, Dong Ran pulled Xiao Chu: "Carefully slide your feet." "There is a lot of water in the yard to wash vegetables, and it is more difficult to walk in the frost than elsewhere. Radishes, cabbage, and celery are placed on the ground, and chickens, ducks, and beef are waiting to be washed. Dong Ran was looking at the fish: "The old lady has eaten a lot of fasting in recent years, and she usually uses one or two mouthfuls of meat and fish, and these are for the old lady." ”
In the kitchen, she found a leader of the Chen family, she knew Dong Ran, and after Dong Dye finished wiping her hands with an apron, the Chen family agreed: "This is known, what kind of dishes does the little junior girl want in the future, just come to me." Xiao Chu threw down the silver and pushed it a few times before accepting it. When he went out, Dong Ran told Xiao Chu: "It's not that you have a big face, nor is it that the face in the son's room is big, it's that she has a little daughter who wants to come to our room." ”
Xiao Chuchu Rigden took a look, picked up Jia'er, and wanted to leave Chunhong and others, and there was a shortage of people in the room. Lin Xiaochu, who secretly scolded himself for being confused, only said yes. When he walked to the second gate, he smiled at Dong Ran: "Sister go back first, I'll look at the door, a relative of mine said to come to see me today." ”
After taking away the winter dye, Xiao Chu went to the tea room. Now a semi-familiar person, Xiaoman, the granddaughter of Mother You, how did she forget her?
