Chapter 8, the prince should keep his word

Chu Huaixian sat in the study and slowly took care of his book. Jin Xier ran back and forth from time to time, from the hall to the study, and passed back the words of the housekeeper Pang and the matchmaker in the hall.

When she came in again, Jin Xier smiled, but she didn't say the person in the hall: "Son, the flower girl was at the door and said she wanted to see you."

Flower girl? Chu Huaixian also felt strange: "What did she say?" Jin Xier laughed for this: "It's said that it's a share of money for the prince."

Chu Huaixian smiled and said, "Then you take it." Jin Xier smiled and said, "She won't give it to the slaves. She still has something to say to the prince."

Chu Huaixian looked at the book in his hand before standing up and walked out, followed by Jin Xier.

The courtyard is also divided into inner and outer doors. Lin Xiaochu was blocked by the gate and felt that it took a long time to see Jin Xi'er coming upside down: "Come with me." After a few steps past the shadow wall, it was just a small side hall. Chu Huaixian was in it and watched Lin Xiaochu walk in.

"What's the matter with you?"

Lin Xiaochu hesitated to look at Jin Xi'er's face. Jin Xi'er just smiled and said, "Our son has a lot of things to do. If you have something to say, please say it quickly." The prince doesn't say anything, Jin Xi'er is just happy, and I won't leave.

There are only three people in the hall. Of course, Chu Huaixian will not let Jin Xier leave and become a lonely man and woman to stay here. The poor girl who sells flowers has seen two faces, which is pleasing, but Chu Huaixian has not met the poor man who took the opportunity to climb up the high branch, but heard a lot.

"I have something else to say." Lin Xiaochu hesitated again, and Chu Huaixian, who didn't understand her intention, had no expression on his face.

Lin Xiaochu had to say it in front of a smiling slave next to her. She didn't want to say it in front of people because she was afraid that one more person would know that she would be embarrassed after being rejected.

"The prince said that the flowers were sold by me, divided into three or seven?" When Lin Xiaochu said this, Chu Huaixian couldn't help but be happy. Jin Xier opened her eyes in surprise and didn't understand how this happened.

Lin Xiaochu said the following words: "I want to ask you to do it three times. I will pay the money every day late, and I just ask you to agree to me." Seeing Chu Huaixian's eyebrows raised gently, Lin Xiaochu quickly continued, "This is a hundred miles away, and we all know that you have a good reputation for helping others, and I love to cherish the old and pity the poor..."

Jin Xier only grinned when she heard it. How many years has the prince not come here? Has this reputation spread from Beijing to here? Mr. Chu first heard that it was fun and interesting. At the end, the flower girl in front of him gently stirred her fingers together and her body trembled slightly.

Lin Xiaochu, who couldn't hear Mr. Chu's reply, became more and less confident. He lowered his head and forced his last few words: "I've been injured for a few days, and I haven't made any money for several days. If I don't make up for those days, there's nothing I can do when there is no money to sell. Mr. You are generous and benevolent, please do me."

For a few flowers, generosity and benevolence have come out. Chu Huaixian heard the order Jin Xier: "Let someone move the ladder and take her to pick flowers." Jin Xier agreed and said to Lin Xiaochu, "Our prince is generous and benevolent. Girl, come with me."

The prince has always been kind, and even the girl said that even Jin Xier felt that it was not easy for her. At least what kind of injury she has, Jin Xier, like the prince, can understand as soon as she hears it.

Lin Xiaochu, who was overjoyed, did not forget to thank Mr. Chu first. Mr. Chu got up and told her: "Let others pick it, just look down." After two steps, he turned around and mocked her, "If you fall into the pool again, you are afraid of crushing my fish." Then Chu Huaixian, who was very happy, went to the room.

Lin Xiaochu's face blushed angrily, and when he saw Jin Xier, he could only pretend to be nothing but to follow Jin Xi'er.

Lin Xiaochu was unexpectedly ready to say that the prince of the Chu family was so easy to talk. She didn't want to say it after saying a set of words. It can be seen that life focuses on acting, and acting is the most important.

Mr. Chu, who returned to the room, didn't know why he agreed with her. Maybe he really realized that it was not easy for him. As soon as he sat in the room for a while, Mr. Chen came in and smiled: "Sir, have you picked a good person?"

Jin Xi'er asked Lin Xiaochu, who had just learned from Mr. Chen. Jin Xi'er felt that the prince was trapping the girl, so she promised her.

Mr. Chen's words made Chu Huaixian stunned, and then he remembered that he was buying a girl to prevent his second uncle from stuffing people to him. The person stuffed by the second uncle may not be used by the prince, but Chu Huaixian does not want to waste this spirit. If the second uncle is a person who is very loyal to him, Chu Huaixian feels that it is best to choose one and saves much less.

"I forgot," Chu Huaixian, who was reminded, frowned slightly: "This girl, is she willing?" Mr. Chen gave another idea: "It's not too late for her to sell flowers for a few days."

Chu Huaixian nodded: "It's reasonable." The two chatted for a while, and a letter was sent from the door: "I'm from Beijing." Mr. Chen, who was sitting drinking tea, saw Chu Huaixian open the letter and his face changed color.

Chu Huaixian, who raised his hand and patted the case, was slightly angry: "How can that be!" Handing the letter to Mr. Chen, "The second uncle said that he was afraid that he was not used to living here, so he sent me two waiters."

Originally, it was a little careful knot of his uncle and nephew. In this way, Chu Huaixian's resistance was even heavier. He waited for Mr. Chen to read the letter with a gloomy face, thinking about what was said in the letter, and tomorrow will arrive. Humph!

Mr. Chen is not the party concerned. If he is not angry, he has an idea: "It's two little girl. Isn't it good for the prince to call more people?" Chu Huaixian then said, "Do you know why I dodged? I want to chill him and let him understand. When I was in Beijing, the girl my second uncle stuffed in my room was so close in front of me. I'm not Liu Xiahui, but I also have an ordinary temperament. It's just that it's forced. I absolutely don't want it."

"The girls all want to cling to the prince," Mr. Chen laughed when he heard it: "It's not the second master's idea, not the person sent by the second master, and so do they. It's just that if the prince doesn't hear the three words of the second master, he won't be so annoyed.

This also makes sense. Chu Huaixian's gloomy face was relieved. Thinking about it, it was two girls who came and said to Mr. Chen, "Okay, I'll beat the kids."

As soon as this sentence came out, Chu Huaixian would laugh and call Xi'er outside to come in: "What did the teeth in the front hall say? Then ask Pang's stewman to report to me the names of the unmarried children in this other courtyard.

"Good countermeasures." Mr. Chen is joking, not praising. The prince has always had many ideas and was unwilling to quarrel with the second master to embarrass the second master, so he avoided coming out of Beijing. The second master is so boring that Mr. Chen wants to laugh. He is doomed to hit a nail.

Jin Xi'er went to the front hall and listened to what was still said inside. Pang's stewman sat with several people's teeth and several matchmakers and listened to them patiently.

"That's it. Before you send it, you should take good care of yourself, have a good appearance, good character, and don't have a wild nature. Otherwise, it can be sent, or it can be sent out, and I will settle accounts separately with you. Pang's stewer sat for half a morning and chose seven or eight families, which asked them to send them to see tomorrow.

The steward who sent these people away came to see the prince with the roster of the unmarried matching children. Chu Huaixian slowly turned over in his hand and listened to Pang's reply.

"What are the names of the people to be sent?"

"Wang Xiaohua, Zhang Liujie, Lin Xiaochu, Lin Hehua..." Mr. Chu felt relieved when he heard Lin Xiaochu's three words. This girl is the predecessor of her aunt. A powerful and rich family like Mr. Chu will not consider human rights or Lin Xiaochu as a modern person.

As long as you give more money and the person is good, this girl should agree. Mr. Chu thought so and nodded with satisfaction to stewman Pang: "Let her come and see her tomorrow. I'll sit in the room."

After arranging this matter, I told Pang that there would be someone coming in Beijing tomorrow: "It's a few servants, and the second master sent it to me tightly. In fact, I don't think it's necessary." Mr. Chu said this and let Pang go: "Arrange a place for them first."

There are various means to trap a person. When Chu Huaixian sat alone in the room, he thought about Lin Xiaochu, a flower girl. Is he a steady person? If not, it will be difficult to go back in the future, and let the family laugh and say that the prince picked the wrong person.

In the evening, Lin Xiaochu came home with a heavy bunch of money. After going to the Chu family, Jin Xier said, "You don't have to come every day. Give it once a month." Lin Xiaochu held an idea that the prince may not want this money. Does he have the money with sweat one by one? If he can bear it, Lin Xiaochu can only be sad and can only give him no other way.

I don't want it today, so I won't be sad today. After returning home, Lin Xiaochu was still sad. The matchmaker waited at home and smiled as soon as she came back: "Miss Xiaochu, I'll do what you asked me to do. It's really a waste of time. I'll take you to Chu's house tomorrow.

Lin Xiaochu, who was immersed in a pile of copper money in his arms, remembered. In front of the smile of the money matchmaker, Lin Xiaochu hesitated: "Lotus is better. I'm clumsy and clumsy. You just take the lotus."

The lotus came from behind, and the lotus heard Lin Xiaochu's words with a smile on her face. She came to hold Xiaochu's shoulder and was a little emotional: "Let's go together. If both of us go in, we will take care of each other."

The money matchmaker smiled even more: "There's a lot of money a month," the money matchmaker said carelessly: "Just an ordinary girl also has 500 yuan a month, and the clothes on the jewelry on her head don't count."

When it comes to Mr. Chu, Lin Xiaochu has no sense of evil, at least he is a way to make a living for himself. It was with this way to make a living that Lin Xiaochu felt that he didn't have to be a girl. Running on the street with a flower basket, the ancients would feel that the women who appeared were not decent, but it was even worse for Lin Xiaochu, a modern man, to look down as a girl for others.
