Chapter 16: Chen Shuangchuan signed a contract with the He family

It seems that except for the house is a little bigger and prettier, it is not much different from my own home. Chen Shuangchuan looked at it for a while, blinked his eyes, and suddenly felt that his mentality suddenly relaxed, it turned out that rich people are not so special and terrible.

Sister-in-law Zhou is a very kind person, and said slowly while walking, this is for the old men to entertain guests, there is for guests, and the back is the main house, and the lady generally does things in that room, and the side is the residence of the young masters and young ladies, so it is not something that can be entered casually.

Although Sister-in-law Zhou said that Mrs. He happened to be free, in fact, Mrs. He asked them to wait outside for almost half an hour, and Sister-in-law Zhou, who had gone in to pass the word, reappeared and brought Chen Shuangchuan and the two inside.

Because he was warned by Mrs. Zhao, Chen Shuangchuan didn't dare to look up, and honestly followed Sister-in-law Zhou to bless, called Mrs., and then stood aside and quietly looked around the corner of his eyes.

When I looked at it from the outside, I only felt that the house was a little bigger, a little more, and I didn't think there was anything special different from the He family, but when Chen Shuangchuan approached this hall, he felt that he really had too little knowledge. These tables and chairs, I don't know how to do it, smooth and smooth, actually as faintly bright as jade, against the bluestone slab ground, indescribably good-looking.

And on the edge of this beautiful chair, there is a pair of better-looking feet, wearing wedge-shaped embroidered shoes, gray satin uppers, embroidered with fine red patterns, and the feet are small and delicate, and they are lovely.

Such delicate and beautiful shoes, even in the shops in the county town have never been seen, Chen Shuangchuan was a little fascinated, and he kept thinking in his heart, how to wear these shoes to the ground, this material will be dirty as soon as it is stained, and it is easy to break if you wash too much.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly saw the embroidered shoes move, and then a very stern voice said: "Is this the girl, which child, what is the name, how old is it, what will be the child?" ”

This is probably to consider Chen Shuang's fall, so Mrs. Zhao didn't have a good time to speak, so she pushed Chen Shuang's drop forward.

Chen Shuangchuan thought about it carefully, and then said: "Mrs. Hui, I am the fourth daughter of Chen Shiyou's family, called Shuangshui, I am eight years old today, I can wash clothes and cook, collect firewood and fish, and embroider and tie a little." ”

"She's a capable girl." Listening to Mrs. He's voice, it seemed that she was very happy, Chen Shuangchuan was also bold, and quickly looked up, but she didn't expect to face Mrs. He's eyes, that sharp look startled Chen Shuangchuan, and before she could get it clearly, she quickly lowered her head and went down.

asked a few more questions, Chen Shuangchuan answered them one by one, Mrs. He slowly drank a cup of tea before agreeing, and called someone to take the five-year deed and asked Chen Shuangchuan to sign and pledge.

Because Chen Shuangchuan is still young, he still needs Mrs. Zhao to be a witness, because Mrs. Zhao is illiterate, she pressed her handprint after listening to someone read it, but Chen Shuangchuan was very curious and looked at it carefully.

But Mrs. He was surprised and said, "This girl is still literate? ”

Chen Shuangchuan didn't dare to respond, and hurriedly said: "I only recognize a few, and I can write my own name." ”

Just looking at it like this, Chen Shuangchuan couldn't see any problems, so he pressed the handprint.

Mrs. He asked her to collect the deed, and only said to Sister-in-law Zhou: "This girl will follow you in the future, and serve the master well." Then he waved his hand and told them to retreat.

Mrs. Zhao reluctantly pulled Chen Shuang, ate well, worked hard, went home to see more when she had time, and explained a lot, saying and talking, seeing that she was about to shed tears again, Sister-in-law Zhou hurriedly said: "What is this for, isn't it the next village, one or two o'clock away, if you want to meet, it's not a matter of hurrying early." Quickly wipe away your tears, in case someone sees it, be careful that Madame will be annoyed. ”

After such persuasion, Mrs. Zhao slowly turned around.

After seeing off Mrs. Zhao, Chen Shuangchuan followed Sister-in-law Zhou through the porch and into a small courtyard.

This is Mrs. He's yard, in addition to Sister-in-law Zhou's husband and wife, there was originally a maid, but later because of her age, she was sent out to match the maid. In this way, there is a vacancy in Mrs. He's name, just when Mrs. Zhao begged to come here, Sister-in-law Zhou, the girl of Chen Shiyou's family, knew that there was a Chen Caichun, who was a clever and diligent child, and it was good to think that her sister would come, so Sister-in-law Zhou went to talk to Mrs. He, and then let Chen Shuang come in.

I heard that in the early years, Mrs. He had been a soldier and fought, and his temperament was the most refreshing, and he was impatient with the trivial things at home, so he simply moved to a small yard, didn't care about anything, raised flowers every day, practiced boxing, and lived a very leisurely life.

When Chen Shuang descended into the courtyard, Mrs. He happened to be practicing boxing, and every move was extremely powerful.

Seeing that Sister-in-law Zhou brought a little girl she didn't know and waited on the side, Mrs. He knew that something was wrong, and after a few more punches, she closed the momentum. Sister-in-law Zhou hurriedly took a towel and twisted it, handed it to Mrs. He to wipe her sweat, and then pushed Chen Shuangchuan and said, "Master, this is the fourth girl of Chen Shiyou's family, called Shuangshuang, who was newly assigned to this courtyard and served the master." ”

Hurriedly blessed, Chen Shuangchuan shouted: "I've seen Mrs. He." ”

"It looks like you know the rules, it's just this name, why did your family give it such an unlucky name."

"Because I was born on the day of frostfall, my father said that it was called frostfall."

"You have a sister named Caichun, why don't you follow Caiqiu?" Chen Caichun worked in the He family, and when the girl of the Chen family was mentioned, Mrs. He thought of her, and always felt that the name of the frost fell was still a little disliked.

When the eldest girl of the Chen family was born at that time, Chen Shiyou saw that it was a girl, so she named it Cai Nu, the second girl was born in the autumn, so it was called Cai Qiu, and the third girl was born in the spring, so it was called Cai Chun.

The name of the girl of the Chen family is casual, but Chen Shunan's name was specially asked by the Yang family to the Taoist temple. When Chen Caichun was angry, he would occasionally use this matter to scold Yang's partiality. The reason for the name was too complicated, and Chen Shuangchuan also felt that it was not easy to say clearly, so he smiled and didn't say much.

Mrs. He didn't bother to pay attention to these things, so he asked a few words casually, and let the old frost pass.

Sister-in-law Zhou and Chen Shuangchuan are both under the name of Mrs. He, so naturally they live in the courtyard here, and Zhou Zheng, the man from Zhou's sister-in-law's family, is also waiting closely.
