Chapter 14, Talking Walls Have Ears
According to the birthplace, let Lin Xiaochu go to the sister's house with Xiaoyi. Shengdi and his sister have already said that they will agree, and then they will also agree with the fifth aunt, and the fifth aunt will help sell Xiaochu's house, and they can also exchange it for a few taels of silver to make capital for Xiaochu in the future.
Lin Xiaochu won the first battle, and while he was overjoyed, he must wait to see Sun Erhai's jokes before leaving. Shengdi couldn't screw her, so he could only let her stay a few more days.
The money matchmaker's mother-in-law's house was smashed, and she lost a lot of money, and she begged someone to say yes to Sun Shang, and spent another sum of silver. In addition to the pain in the flesh of the money matchmaker, she stepped up her urging Lin Xiaochu to go to the Chu family, waiting to get the Chu family's money.
"Xiao Chu, there is another newly opened restaurant in the city, you will go with me tomorrow." Zhu Niang, who sang a little song, shouted Xiao Chu outside. Leaving here, Xiao Chu was really reluctant. Except for the money matchmaker, everyone else is very good.
It's just that Xiao Chu doesn't have Zhu Niang's low eyebrows and pleasing eyes when she encounters things, and there are no other flower girls who encounter tofu when they encounter it, so they can't hide from it and don't take it to heart like this. Xiao Chu felt that he was still walking well.
The next day, I went to the newly opened restaurant with Zhu Niang, it was still the old rule, Zhu Niang went in and sang a tune, played the pipa twice, and Xiao Chu went to sell flowers. After entering, everyone must be intoxicated by the sound of the pipa of Zhu Niang, or intoxicated by the smell of wine and food. When the fragrant white orchid comes, everyone is in good spirits and wants to buy a few more.
The guests at the third table were all acquaintances, and Liang Gongzi came to hold Zhu Niang's field again, and then pulled Chu Gongzi on. Chu Gongzi faced the white orchids delivered to him, so he could only pay for the flowers that stood on the trees in his backyard. Chu Huaixian is always funny, am I wrong. I can't do it to demolish her.
Facing the diligent and clear smile and the person with a slight waist, Chu Gongzi could only choose to shut up. After buying flowers like this, in exchange for Xiaochu's more smile, Liang Gongzi had to make fun of it more, and Lin Xiaochu, who went out, never heard it.
In the afternoon, Zhu Niang and Xiao Chu sat in the wall room of the restaurant to rest. They solicited business for the boss, and the boss also found such a small cubicle for them to sit in. Zhu Niang wants to make up some fat powder, and Xiao Chu has to take care of her clothes.
"Young Master Chu is not ordinary to you."
"There is no thing, these noble sons are happy for fun, but they are just on a whim." Xiao Chu felt that his evaluation was very pertinent.
Zhu Niang was stunned at first, and then smiled helplessly, what Xiao Chu said was not unreasonable.
Xiao Chu's chatterbox opened, and the anger of being forced by the money matchmaker came out endlessly.
"It is to have money and power, and chase it according to one's own heart. Zhu Niang, you are smart, it's good to get some money in your hands, and when he likes someone else in the future, he doesn't have to worry. ”
"Liang Gongzi is not such a person. Since you think so, how many benefits do you plan to get from Young Master Chu? Zhu Niang was not angry at all, just joking about Xiao Chu.
Lin Xiaochu cocked his nose: "Hmph, I worked hard to sell flowers, what do I have to do with him!" ”
The two of them were talking here, and they didn't expect the wall to have ears. Liang Long, who was standing outside the compartment, was pulling Chu Huaixian and walking away quietly. He did not go back to the private room, but walked to the railing of the hall and stopped. Liang Long was whispering to Chu Huaixian: "This girl said this about you? ”
It's not as good as Zhu Niang, it's good to know me. Liang Longzheng was not worth Chu Huaixian: "She smiled at you more, it turned out that she was tying you to buy flowers." "Chu Huaixian corrected in his heart, asking me to buy flowers and don't talk.
For the flower girl to give an extra smile, Liang Long was pulling Chu Huaixian out: "Look at them, she is shy when there are many people, it's not good to talk to you more, I'll give you a chance." ”
When I arrived, I heard these comments. Chu Huaixian also felt angry, but as a self-cultivation scholar, he was also respectable, so he couldn't be angry with Lin Xiaochu.
I tried every possible way to persuade myself not to get angry. The next day, through the window, he saw Lin Xiaochu coming to get flowers with a flattering smile on his face, and Chu Gongzi felt that he couldn't let her go in vain, and he had to make her suffer a little.
"Call that girl in."
When Lin Xiaochu came in, Chu Gongzi also asked her with a face as usual: "It's that I divide thirty percent, have you prepared the money for the past few days?" ”
"Childe said to give it once a month?"
"Childe, think about it, you have worked hard to sell flowers, and I have a share of the credit. Given two days, are you ready? ”
Lin Xiaochu calculated the time, delayed it for a few more days, and maybe he would leave. It matters if you run away, who will give him the money!
"Please give Childe ten days of grace." Lin Xiaochu grimaced.
Chu Huaixian didn't look at her bitter face, and made the decision unceremoniously: "Forget about the money, they all say that the apricot blossoms outside are blooming well, and I want to invite a few friends to enjoy the apricot blossoms." I'm afraid that there is no one to sit outside, and if you fold the money into wine and food, someone will send it if it is not enough. Which day to go, let someone tell you. ”
Lin Xiaochu, who came out, didn't understand what Chu Gongzi meant, she only felt sorry for her money and wanted to fly away again. If you don't give it to him, you won't have any flowers to sell in the future. Lin Xiaochu scolded Chu Gongzi several times in his heart.
Cherry blossom viewing and drinking. Let you drown in the sea of flowers and not be able to get out, so that the matchmaker will only stare at me.
Within two days, Jin Xi'er rode a tall horse to Xiao Chu's house, frowned when she got off the horse, and frowned even more when she entered the yard.
"It's too dirty here, you can sweep it well, sweep it now."
Lin Xiaochu dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he went to sweep the floor.
Jin Xi'er and then into the house: "The benches and tables must be brushed with water, the hot water and brushes I said, you don't use cold water to wipe it and fool me, you can't wash it, it must be brushed clean." This bench and table have to be brushed in the cracks. ”
The overseer of Jin Xi'er, who was stilted on his legs, was very strict, he was holding a horsewhip in his hand, sitting in a big way, and commanding Lin Xiaochu and Lin Xiaoyi to start cleaning up.
At the end of the day, Lin Xiaochu was so tired that her back hurt, she was afraid that she would be tired, so she sent her to the fifth aunt's house at noon. In the second half of the day, only one person worked hard here, and another person supervised the work here.
In the evening, Xiaoyi saw Jin Xi'er riding away, and when she came back, Xiaoyi was also surprised: "Sister, is this still our house decoration?" "The corners of the kang corners are spotless.
Lin Xiaochu, who was lying on the table, was weak: "Can it be clean?" All are washed in hot water. "Luckily, the summer dries quickly, and the house dries out in a short time.
"Sister, what are you eating?" Lin Xiaoyi came over to help beat Lin Xiaochu on the back a few times, and when she came in, she smelled the smell of the food in the house, but she didn't see the shadow of the food.
"Don't mention, the two breads I left over at noon were hot meals that were brought to him. After eating, he won't let me rest, let me continue to work. In the evening, I said I was going to cook, and he gave me the food. There were a lot of delicious food, and there was a plate of steamed buns, and I thought that you must love to eat them, so I said to him, I worked so hard that I had to stay for supper, and he let them all take away. ”
Lin Xiaochu just wanted to shed tears, but he sweated a lot a day, and there was no extra water on his body to shed tears.
"Is Childe here tomorrow to enjoy the flowers? I can't go out to sell flowers today, and I lose another day's money. ”
When he mentioned this, Lin Xiaochu was even more sad: "These gentlemen don't know when they will come." "It's better to set a day and brush it on the first day.
asked Jin Xi'er, he only had one sentence: "Childe may come tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, I will come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow until the day Childe comes." You have to clean this house every day as it is today. ”
What is the powerful and oppressive people, Lin Xiaochu saw a living example. What's even more infuriating is that this example appeared to her alive.
When I woke up all night, my body was still sore. Lin Xiaoyi went to the city early to sell flowers, leaving Lin Xiaochu to be enslaved by Xi'er. This time there was also Steward Pang.
"Steward Pang, what are you doing here?" The tenant farmers here are all planted on the land of the Chu family, and some people greet Steward Pang.
Steward Pang smiled: "Our son-in-law is going to Miss Lin's house as a guest, let's take a look first." ”
The person who greeted him looked suspiciously at Lin Xiaochu, who was bowing his head and sweeping the floor in the yard, and then listened to a few extra words from the matchmaker who came out: "Childe said that Miss Xiaochu is clever, Miss Xiaochu is likable, and Childe came to see her in person." ”
Lin Xiaochu's face is red, the clear ones are self-clearing, and the turbid ones are turbid. Of course, these villagers are ignorant. Lin Xiaochu felt that he didn't need to pay attention, and he would naturally understand.
The two overseers watched one person work, Lin Xiaochu was tired for another day, and at night he had only one idea in front of the crescent moon in the sky: let Gongzi come to enjoy the flowers quickly, and if you don't appreciate it, you can only enjoy the petals.
Chu Gongzi was late, but he still came. It was one night three days later, when the moon shone on the earth, Lin Xiaoyi whispered to Lin Xiaochu in the house: "The brush is so clean, I can't see it at night." ”
The bright moonlight shone on the earth, and the dusty wildflowers and plants during the day looked like jade carvings. Lin Xiaochu told himself that he couldn't be angry. To Lin Xiaoyi, he also had to enlighten: "This is the cleanliness of a rich son." ”
"I don't want this cleanliness fetish." Lin Xiaoyi was very scared, this is almost the same as being sick.
"Xiao Chu, you worked hard to clean up the yard, come over for a drink." With the intention of wine, Chu Gongzi shouted slowly in the courtyard.
A large round table was set up in the courtyard, and on both sides were scattered food boxes on the ground. Lin Xiaochu hated it again, all the food on this table and bench was brought by Chu Gongzi, and it didn't use the washed furniture in Lin Xiaochu's house at all.
Gongzi shouted that he couldn't help but come out, Lin Xiaochu still had a smile on his face when he came out, Chu Gongzi held a wine glass in his hand, stood up and was still far away from Lin Xiaochu, the person was personable, his voice was gentle and elegant, and he couldn't see the slightest rudeness.
Chu Huaixian, who handed the wine glass to Lin Xiaochu, said: "This is an unused wine glass, you have a hard day, and you can drink a glass too." ”
Liang Longzheng was the most able to coax: "Miss Xiaochu, I didn't know that Brother Huaixian loved you so much, he said to enjoy the flowers, and tonight is really to enjoy the flowers." ”
The money matchmaker pouted in her yard, and Lin Xiaochu loved to be serious. Maybe there is something innocent with Childe, otherwise Childe would be willing to come. Seeing that she also has a smile under the moon, she must be proud of the noble son who has come to the house.
Lin Xiaochu had a wry smile on his face!
