Chapter 9, Looking at each other

The two girls from Beijing arrived early in the morning. "I've seen my son in the spring and summer." They are all good-looking people, and they are not the girls in the room in Chu Huaixian's capital.

"Second uncle loves me the most, but I picked two girls here, and you will be together well in the future." Chu Huaixian said that when he saw the girls' faces darkened, he liked it very much.

The girls couldn't help but look at the eyes of their masters, Chu Huaixian, who has always been generous, said this, and planned that they would be girls in the future and treat them well.

Before asking someone to send the girl to see her in the morning, Chu Huaixian had to get angry at Liuchun. I took a letter from a friend, and put the reply on the bookcase to be dry. Usually, even if it is Jinxi'er, she will not stretch out her head to visit.

Although Chu Huaixian, who was willing to leave two girls, saw Liuchun stretching his head to read the letter, he couldn't help but be angry, none of the girls in the room dared to be so bold!

"Let her kneel outside," Chu Huaixian just sank his face and called Jin Xi'er in. Liuchun cried and came to intercede, but was forcibly pulled out by Jin Xi'er. Liuxia was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, Chu Huaixian glanced at her: "The person who pleads is the same as her." ”

In the courtyard of the Chu family's green grass and water in summer, Liuchun was punished to kneel on a road that must be passed. This stone road is within the second gate, and the family members who come and go can see Liuchun, who arrived an hour ago, and was punished by the son to kneel in a small pavilion on the stone path.

Lin Xiaochu, who went to the backyard to pick flowers, could not avoid it. When she saw it for the first time, Lin Xiaochu was startled, she was told by Qian Matchmaker and Lotus yesterday that she promised them to come and make up a few today. Don't come as if you're sorry for your neighbors.

I saw the kneeling people on the kiosk, with a red silk shirt on the upper body and a blue skirt on the bottom. I can't see my face when I turn my back to someone, but I don't think it's a good mood.

"What's wrong with her?" Lin Xiaochu asked Jin Xi'er quietly. Jin Xi'er whispered: "Provoke the son, and the son will punish her for kneeling until the night." Taken aback, Lin Xiaochu blurted out and asked, "What did she do?" ”

Jin Xi'er, who guessed the child's intentions, first brainwashed Lin Xiaochu: "If the son doesn't like it, he will be punished, and when the girl has to abide by the rules of the girl." ”

Lin Xiaochu smiled reluctantly, fortunately, he didn't want to be a girl in the first place, and he didn't want to do it now.

After picking the flowers, take them out first and give them to Xiaoyi who is waiting outside, so that she can find a cool place to wait. Lin Xiaochu came in to find Qian Matchmaker and Lotus, and went to show Chu Gongzi together.

A small hall was full of people, and Lin Xiaochu came in and covered his mouth and just smiled. "Xiao Chu, we're here." Mrs. Qian was holding a lotus flower in one hand and Xiao Chu in the other, and Sun Erhai was sweating profusely beside her.

"My mother, there are a lot of them." As soon as Sun Erhai said this, he was glared at by the money matchmaker: "Let you drive away irrelevant people, what's wrong with you?" ”

Sun Erhai rolled up his sleeves, showed the green spot on his arm to Mrs. Qian, and then glared at Zhang Wu among the people before replying to Mrs. Qian's words: "I am not idle, I look for someone to find him every day, and I have fought several times, but I have not squeezed him." ”

There were a few people in the hall and a few matchmakers, and each of them brought three or four girls. Steward Pang came out and saw twice as many people as he said yesterday. I know that these people are trying to see each other in the picture of the son, and see that one is the other.

"You go to the corridor, there are many people and the smell is heavy, how can I make it to my son." As soon as Steward Pang spoke, everyone fell silent. A few family members should take care of everyone and let them out.

When the roll call began inside, people from outside came in. Qian Matchmaker and others listened outside, and they were secretly frightened. "I also want to ask my parents about their age, would you like to go to Beijing?" Mrs. Qian quietly stabbed Sun Erhai.

"This is listening to the girls' articulateness, you mother-in-law who has never seen the world." Sun Erhai didn't care about one thing, he was only anxious about one thing: "Ask us one by one, put us in the last row, and the son is tired of watching, so we won't have a chance." ”

Lin Xiaochu let go of the back of the pile, separated himself from the money matchmaker, and whispered to a girl who looked at Lao Cheng: "How much money can they have?" ”

The girl didn't know that one of the people in front of them heard it, turned around and slapped it. The two of them were stunned together. "Fifty taels?" It was the turn of the old adult girl to ask Lin Xiaochu quietly: "What does she mean by fifty taels?" ”

Lin Xiaochu could only nod, for five taels of silver, these people would not run non-stop on a hot day.

Fifty taels of silver, Lin Xiaochu was greedy and red-eyed, how good should I earn this money myself. With fifty taels, you can buy a few points of land, right? Otherwise, for a small business, this capital is enough.

It takes a lot of effort to look at a person in the hall, and Lin Xiaochu, who was waiting, was even more hesitant. Taking a few steps back, Lin Xiaochu walked down the corridor and stood under the shady tree blowing the cold wind, calculating that he had suffered a loss.

Tell me about the matchmaker, divide half of me, and I will symbolically go to the Chu family to work for two months and then resign? The cranky Lin Xiaochu was patted on the shoulder: "What are you thinking?" ”

Standing behind him was Chu Huaixian. Chu Huaixian, who was quite impatient in the hall, decided to come out to breathe. He took Lin Xiaochu more or less, and saw that according to the name, Lin Xiaochu was still behind, and he also came out to breathe, not wanting to see Lin Xiaochu.

The two men saw each other and signaled at the same time: "Don't speak." Having said this, Lin Xiaochu remembered it, and said suspiciously: "Son, you should be there?" She gestured to the hall.

"I'm tired, come out for a walk, you should be there too." Chu Huaixian pointed to the corridor. Lin Xiaochu Yanran: "I'm also tired, come out for a walk." ”

Behind the thick tree, Chu Huaixian and Lin Xiaochu talked.

"Is it voluntary to be a girl?" If Chu Huaixian asked, it was the words asked in the hall. There are no less such things. Renyazi scolded and forcibly sent it at home, and after spending a few days at home, there was a girl crying and saying that she was reluctant.

Lin Xiaochu did not hesitate: "I don't want to." Chu Huaixian was stunned for a moment, and said the same thing as Qian Matchmaker: "It's better than you selling flowers." "This girl has a good water color and a good figure, plus she speaks clearly, Chu Huaixian feels that the son can do it. I don't want her to say reluctantly.

"Selling flowers is hard, but it comes and goes freely. Will the girl be beaten and angry? Lin Xiaochu finally changed "being a girl to be beaten and angry" into a question sentence, for the sake of her now coming to Chu's house to pick flowers, the wording is polite.

Chu Huaixian felt that he understood this girl's concerns: "You see that Childe, I seem to be a person who likes to beat and scold people? Lin Xiaochu replied in his heart, yes, there is a punishment for kneeling over there. His face was also honestly and fascinated by Chu Gongzi, as if to say, are you or not?

"If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be beaten and angry." Chu Gongzi was amused by the ignorant expression on her face, and couldn't help but explain. Lin Xiaochu asked stupidly: "What if you do something wrong?" Childe is so generous, he won't be beaten, right? ”

With an ignorant look and a half-stupidity, Chu Gongzi was just happy: "You can only beat you hard if you do something wrong." Lin Xiaochu shrank his head: "Then I won't go." ”

Taking this opportunity, Lin Xiaochu whispered to Chu Gongzi: "I'm here to make up the numbers, and the neighbors pulled me here, so I can't do it if I don't come." Childe doesn't have to choose me for a while. My neighbor Lin Lotus, looks better than Xi Shi, and Desheng is saltless. Childe wouldn't be wrong to choose her. ”

Chu Gongzi listened very carefully, and looked at Lin Xiaochu strangely from time to time, knowing that Xi Shi was okay, and he also knew that there was no salt and virtue. When he heard Lin Xiaochu's last sentence, Chu Gongzi could only laugh.

"I recommend someone to my son, do you give me half of the silver?" Lin Xiaochu smiled flatteringly: "I only need twenty-five taels." ”

Chu Gongzi laughed a few times, and knocked Lin Xiaochu's forehead with the folding fan in his hand: "Are you a human tooth?" Lin Xiaochu took a step back to avoid the folding fan, and fought for twenty-five taels of silver for himself: "Childe is silver for the Chinese, isn't it?" These people don't have to be human teeth, do they? As long as the son takes advantage of his heart, it's fine. ”

"I'm kind to you." Chu Gongzi said, as expected, seeing Lin Xiaochu take another step back, Chu Gongzi chuckled lightly and dropped a sentence: "If you are willing to come, this person will give you all the money." ”

Chu Gongzi, who turned around, heard words behind him. Lin Xiaochu instantly understood, there are opportunities all the time, the most important thing is to figure it out, and after catching up a few steps, he said, "Really? ”

"Of course it is." Chu Gongzi didn't reply, and left straight. He didn't wonder that Lin Xiaochu would ask, would a poor girl insult her when she came to this house as a girl, how could she say that she disagreed.

Lin Xiaochu figured out that this was an opportunity, it was really a last resort, and Chu Gongzi was talking again, Lin Xiaochu didn't mind going to the Chu family to be a girl for two months and mixing up the Chinese money. Putting such a decision in my heart is really out of helplessness. It was not easy for this ancient woman to earn money. Lin Xiaochu decided not to miss any opportunity, of course, figuring out that it was two different things from coming by himself.

Mrs. Qian hurriedly ran over: "Xiao Chu, it's your turn, go in quickly." Pull Lin Xiaochu up to the hall. In the corridor, Sun Erhai was also in a hurry: "Quick, give her a haircut." ”

After cleaning up like this, Mrs. Qian brought Lin Xiaochu in with a smile on her face.

In the end, as a matter of course, Lin Xiaochu was selected. Walking out of the gate of the Chu family, Lin Xiaoyi greeted him: "Sister, you can go and sell flowers." ”

"Xiaoyi, you don't have to sell flowers in the sun in the future," Mrs. Qian felt that the fifty taels of silver were placed in front of her head, and she could get them by reaching out. Lin Xiaoyi couldn't wait to say the good news: "Your sister, you were caught by Gongzi Chu." ”

This is really appropriate, Lin Xiaochu thought with frustration. Childe is not inside, but he has told himself outside.

Slow down, Lin Xiaochu understood, from Chu Gongzi's words, and then think about the last few meetings, jokes with himself on the street to divide seventy-three, and let herself go to the yard to pick flowers, etc., Miss Lin Xiaochu froze to the letter. When did he fall in love with me? This is something that has been seen before.
