Chapter 9 Look
The two girl from Beijing arrived early in the morning. I met the prince in spring and summer. They are all good-looking people, and they are not the girl in Chu Huaixianjing's house.
"Uncle loves me the most, but I'm here to choose two girl. You can stay together in the future." Chu Huaixian said that he liked it very much when he saw the girls' faces dark.
The girls couldn't help looking at their master's eyes and saying this, Chu Huaixian, who had always said this kindly, intending that they would be girls in peace and treat them well in the future.
In the morning, Chu Huaixian had to take a fire on Liu Chun. I received a letter from my friend and put the returned letter on the case to be done. Usually, even Jin Xi'er will not stretch out her head to visit.
Although Chu Huaixian, who was willing to leave two maids, couldn't help but be angry when he saw Liuchun stretching out his head to read the letter. No girl in the room dared to be so bold!
"Let her kneel outside," Chu Huaixian just called Jin Xier in with a heavy face. Liu Chun cried and came to plead, but was forcibly pulled out by Jin Xier. Liuxia was so scared that she dared not move. Chu Huaixian glanced at her: "The begging person is the same as her."
In the yard of the Chu family's green grass in summer, Liuchun was punished to kneel on a road that must pass. The 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 prince to kneel in a small pavilion on the stone path.
Lin Xiaochu, who picked flowers in the backyard, could not be avoided. When she first saw it, Lin Xiaochu was shocked. She was told by the money matchmaker and Lotus yesterday and promised them to make up the numbers today. It's like I'm sorry to my neighbor.
I saw the person kneeling on the pavilion, with a red shirt on his upper body and a blue skirt on his lower body. You can't see your face with your back to people, but you won't be in a good mood.
"What's wrong with her?" Lin Xiaochu asked Jin Xier quietly. Jin Xier whispered, "It made you angry. You punished her to kneel until night." Surprised, Lin Xiaochu blurted out, "What did she do?"
Jin Xier, who guessed the prince's heart, first brainwashed Lin Xiaochu: "If you don't like it, you have to be punished. You have to follow the rules of being a girl."
Lin Xiaochu forced a smile. Fortunately, she didn't want to be a girl, and now she doesn't want to.
Pick the flowers and take them out for Xiaoyi to wait outside, and ask her to find a cool place to wait. Lin Xiaochu came in to find the money matchmaker and Lotus, and went to see Mr. Chu.
A large hall was full of people. Lin Xiaochu came in and covered his mouth and just smiled. Xiaochu, we are here." The matchmaker held the lotus in one hand and Xiaochu in the other, surrounded by Sun Erhai, who was full of sweat.
"My mother, there are so many people." As soon as Sun Erhai said this, he was stared at by the matchmaker Qian: "What's wrong with you driving away unrelavant people?"
Sun Erhai rolled up his sleeves, showed the green part on his arm to the matchmaker Qian, and then stared at Zhang Wu, one of the people, and then replied to the matchmaker's words: "I'm not idle. I'm looking for someone to find him every day. I fight several times, but I didn't squeeze him."
There are several teeth and a few matchmakers in the hall, and each tooth or matchmaker brings three or four girls. Butler Pang came out and saw twice as many people as yesterday. I know that these people are looking for the prince to come out and see one of them.
"You go to the corridor. There are many people and the smell is heavy, and you can smell it." As soon as Pang said something, everyone calmed down. Several family members take care of people to go out.
When the inside began to sing, people were taken in outside. The money matchmaker and others were secretly shocked when they listened outside. Do you still want to ask your parents about their age and whether they would like to go to Beijing? The matchmaker quietly stabbed Sun Erhai.
"This is a woman who listens to the girls and has never seen the world." Sun Erhai didn't want to do it once. He was only worried about one thing: "If you ask one by one, we will be in the end. If you are tired of it, we won't have a chance."
Lin Xiaochu gave way behind the crowd, separated from the money matchmaker, and whispered to a girl looking at the old man: "How much money can they have?"
The girl didn't know it. A person in front of them heard it and turned around and slapped her. The two were stunned together. Fifty taels? It was the old girl's turn to whisper to Lin Xiaochu, "She means fifty taels?"
Lin Xiaochu can only nod for five taels of silver. These people will not keep running on a hot day.
Lin Xiaochu, a middleman with 50 taels of silver, is greedy and jealous. How good should I earn this money by myself? With fifty taels, how many points can you buy? Otherwise, if you want to do a small business, the capital will be enough.
It takes a lot of effort to see a person in the hall, and Lin Xiaochu, who is waiting, is even more hesitant. After a few steps back, Lin Xiaochu walked down the corridor and stood under the shady tree blowing a cold wind and calculated that he had suffered losses.
told the matchmaker Qian that if I share half of it, I will symbolically go to the Chu family to work for two months before resigning? Lin Xiaochu, who was thinking nonsense, was patted on the shoulder: "What are you thinking about?"
Standing behind him is Chu Huaixian. Chu Huaixian, who was quite impatient in the hall, decided to come out and breathe. He more or less took Lin Xiaochu. When he saw the line according to the name, Lin Xiaochu was still behind. He also came out to breathe and didn't want to see Lin Xiaochu.
When the two saw each other, they motioned, "Don't talk." After saying this, Lin Xiaochu remembered and said suspiciously, "You should be in there?" She pointed to the hall.
"I'm tired. Come out for a walk. You should be there, too." Chu Huaixian pointed to the corridor. Lin Xiaochuyan: "I'm tired, too. Come out for a walk."
Behind the thick tree, Chu Huaixian and Lin Xiaochu began to talk.
"Is it voluntary to be a girl?" What Chu Huaixian asked was what he asked in the hall. There are many such things. The human tooth was sent by beating and scolding at home. After a few days at home, some girl cried and said she was reluctant.
Lin Xiaochu did not hesitate: "I don't want to." Chu Huaixian was stunned and said the same words as the money matchmaker: "It's better than selling flowers." The girl has a good color and figure. In addition, she speaks clearly, and Chu Huaixian feels that the prince can do it. I don't want her to say reluctantly.
"It's hard to sell flowers, but you can come and go freely. Will the girl be beaten and angry? Lin Xiaochu finally changed "being a girl to be beaten and angry" into an interrogative sentence. For the sake of her coming to the Chu family to pick flowers now, the wording was more polite.
Chu Huaixian felt that he understood the girl's concerns: "Do you think I'm a person who likes to beat and curse?" Lin Xiaochu replied in his heart, yes, there was a punishment kneeling over there. On the surface, he also looked at Mr. Chu honestly, as if he was saying, aren't you?
"If you don't do something wrong, you won't be beaten." Mr. Chu was amused by the confused expression on her face and couldn't help explaining it. Lin Xiaochu asked stupidly again, "What if you do something wrong? You won't be beaten if you are so generous, will you?"
With a confused face and half-stupid, Mr. Chu was just happy: "You have to beat him severely if you do something wrong." Lin Xiaochu shrank his head and said, "Then I won't go."
Taking this opportunity, Lin Xiaochu whispered to Mr. Chu, "I'm here to make up the number. The neighbor pulled me here. I can't come if I don't come. You don't have to choose me later. My neighbor Lin Hehua looks like Xi Shi, and Desheng has no salt. It won't be wrong for the prince to choose her.
Mr. Chu listened carefully and looked at Lin Xiaochu strangely from time to time. He knew that Xi Shi was fine, but he knew that there was no salt and virtue. Hearing Lin Xiaochu's last sentence, Mr. Chu could only laugh.
"I recommend someone to the prince. Did you give me half of the money?" Lin Xiaochu smiled flatteringly: "I only need 25 taels."
Mr. Chu smiled a few times and knocked on Lin Xiaochu's forehead with a folding fan in his hand: "Are you a human tooth?" Lin Xiaochu took a step back to avoid the folding fan and scrambled for 25 taels of silver for himself: "Isn't the prince a silver for the middle man? This person is not necessarily a human tooth, is it? As long as the prince takes advantage of it.
"I'll take advantage of you." Mr. Chu said that as expected, when he saw Lin Xiaochu take another step back, Mr. Chu smiled and threw down a sentence, "If you are willing to come, I will give you all the money."
Mr. Chu, who turned around and left, heard something else behind him. Lin Xiaochu understood in an instant. There were opportunities all the time. The most important thing was to figure it out. After a few steps, he caught up and said, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Mr. Chu didn't turn his head back and went straight away. He was not surprised that Lin Xiaochu would ask if the poor girl came to this house as a girl and humiliated her. How could she disagree?
Lin Xiaochu understood that this was an opportunity, which was really a last resort, and Mr. Chu said his word. Lin Xiaochu didn't mind going to the Chu family to be a girl for two months and get the money of the middle man. It is really out of helplessness to keep such a bad strategy in mind. It was not easy for this ancient woman to make money. Lin Xiaochu decided not to let go of any opportunity. Of course, he figured out that it was two things to come with himself.
The matchmaker Qian hurried over and said, "Xiaochu, it's your turn. Go in quickly." Pull Lin Xiaochu up to the hall. In the corridor, Sun Erhai was also very anxious: "Quickly, cut her clothes and hair."
After cleaning up like this, the money matchmaker brought Lin Xiaochu in with a smile on her face.
In the end, take it for granted that Miss Lin Xiaochu was selected. Walking out of the door of the Chu family, Lin Xiaoyi greeted him and said, "Sister, you can go to sell flowers."
"Xiaoyi, you don't have to bask in the sun to sell the flowers in the future," the matchmaker felt that the money of these fifty taels was placed in front of her head and reached out to get it. I can't wait to say good news to Lin Xiaoyi: "Your sister is in love with Mr. Chu."
This is really appropriate, and Lin Xiaochu thought with frustration. The prince is not inside, but he told himself outside.
Slow down, Lin Xiaochu understood that Mr. Chu's words led him to think about the recent meetings. He joked with himself on the street to be seven or three, and let himself go to the yard to pick flowers and so on. When did he like me? This is what I like before.
