Chapter 13, False Bargaining
I have heard Lin Xiaochu's idea. Anyway, he wanted to leave, and Xiaochu went to his sister's house to mobilize familiar people to make Sun Erhai and Qian's matchmaker also suffer a big loss.
The gate is closed, and the land can only stay in the city for the night. At this time, Lin Xiaochu, who was at home, listened to the money matchmaker talking with a yawn.
"As soon as Mr. Chu heard what I said, he ordered someone to take a post to see Mr. Mo," the matchmaker Qian smiled happily: "You can sell flowers tomorrow."
The kindness of the matchmaker Qian can't change Lin Xiaochu's heart to let her suffer. But it can sell flowers, and Lin Xiaochu still likes it. Lin Xiaochu didn't like to listen to the words of the money matchmaker.
"The prince said that he was afraid that you would go lonely alone and promised to let Lotus enter the house with you. The good day of next month's 10th is also seen by the prince. Let's see how solemn the prince is to you when you enter the house. The money matchmaker said it with a smile.
Lin Xiaochu was bored, as if he were looking for his aunt. Maybe he is really looking for his aunt. Lin Xiaochu thought that being a girl of the Chu family was also one of his retreats, but Xiaoyi had to be discussed first.
The next day, Lin Xiaochu went to the Chu family and still asked to see Mr. Chu. Chu Huaixian was in a good mood. In the pavilion in the backyard, he met Lin Xiaochu at the place where he met the matchmaker yesterday. There is no one around, only a few steps away.
"The matchmaker said to me, and I came here to thank the prince for helping me solve the matter." Lin Xiaochu came to see Mr. Chu under such a name, and he was sure that he would meet himself.
"You don't have to be polite to see the unevenness on the road and draw a knife to help you." Of course, Chu Huaixian pretends to be a good person. Lin Xiaochu smiled clearly: "In addition to thanking you, there is still something I want to ask for your son."
Chu Huaixian smiled at this bright morning smile. He is not a pervert and will not faint Tao Taoran. He just said, "You say it."
"The prince is a kind person, and my neighbor Lotus thinks that the prince can choose her every day." Lin Xiaochu sold the lotus without hesitation, and this is the truth.
"I still have to think about it. I'm worried that in the future, the prince will let me go to Beijing. What should my sister do?" Lin Xiaochu said Lin Xiaoyi. Mr. Chu was funny: "Are you asking me to take your sister into the house?"
Lin Xiaochu frowned. This word "receive" is really unpleasant. Mr. Chu also frowned: "Of course you want to go to Beijing with me. Come with your sister and let her be a little girl."
This problem was solved. It was really discovered by Sun Erhai and the matchmaker. Lin Xiaochu decided to take Lin Xiaoyi to hide in the Chu family. There is one more way to vent your anger.
"Excuse me, do you have a contract?" Lin Xiaochu still has something to ask.
"Do you know how to write?"
"I know more or less." Lin Xiaochu was not sure whether she could recognize traditional Chinese characters, but she smiled more: "Can I have a look first?"
Chu Huaixian stood up and said, "Come with me." Take Lin Xiaochu to the study. Outside the door, Lin Xiaochu first saw the people salute in the corridor, and they all looked good. This young man is not satisfied. If he is a perish, Lin Xiaochu will not come.
The book is full of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the contract is written now. Because the ink was not dry, Chu Huaixian pushed it over to Lin Xiaochu: "Look what you are dissatisfied with."
The unknown word Lin Xiaochu asked Chu Huaixian. After reading it, there was only one sentence in Lin Xiao's original intention, as I expected. This gentleman is looking for his aunt. This is not an employment girl. This is obviously a deed of sale.
"How much is my silver? How much is Xiaoyi?" Lin Xiaochu still needs to be clear about it.
Chu Huaixian looked at Lin Xiaochu with playful eyes. The girl was generous and asked without hesitation. I believe she can understand what is written in the contract. Chu Huaixian did not intend to hide it from her.
"I'll give you 300 taels of identity money. Your sister entered the house with you. When she grew up, I helped her find someone. She now enters the house and works as a little girl by your side first, not my girl. Speaking of this, Chu Huaixian felt very good and slowly said, "As for that lotus flower, let me see if it is worthy of praise. If it is not worth it, I will be your girl."
Lin Xiaochu had to make it clear: "Son, are you looking for your aunt? It's not a girl."
"You are very smart, good-like and speak well. I like you." Chu Huaixian also made it clear.
Lin Xiaochu was not shocked. In the past, he was married and married blindly. Many girls have to go to the bridal chamber to open the cover before they know who their husband is. In the past, most women had no right to speak.
"What do you think?" Chu Huaixian felt that I treated people sincerely, but that's all. The aunt who entered the house must be single-minded with me, not to mention how much she loves the prince. At least she must understand that only the prince is good to her, so that she can not let the second uncle have a chance to take advantage of it. Chu Huaixian is a patient at this time.
Lin Xiaochu bowed respectfully, but in fact, he was scolding him for being arrogant and coquettish. Looking at the surface of the prince, I think how good he is to me.
Lin Xiaochu, who was full of face, raised his body and said, "I'm willing to say it's a girl. Although our family is poor, we are also innocent. Lin Xiao smiled secretly in his original intention. Of course, he came from an innocent family. There will be no corruption and no bribery.
"Now I know that the prince is receiving my aunt, and Xiaochu is afraid that he doesn't have this blessing." Lin Xiaochu said this, and Chu Huaixian said coldly, "How much money do you open?"
Lin Xiaochu was stunned for a moment and asked, "How much do you want to add?"
"I don't add a penniless. It's only 20 taels of silver to buy a girl outside." Chu Huaixian said this. Of course, Lin Xiaochu knew that he was telling the truth, that was, he gave too much money to the matchmaker, so Lin Xiaochu suspected that he was looking for his aunt.
"Of course, you are excellent. Giving you 300 taels of silver is enough for me to buy several people." Mr. Chu said this. He clearly asked Lin Xiaochu's strange eyes, so why didn't you buy it?
Lin Xiaochu grinned at Mr. Chu's unhappy eyes and lowered his eyes again. He was not planning to buy me, and the bid was not low.
"You are a measured person, can I think about it?" Lin Xiaochu planned to put it off for a while. Chu Huaixian didn't mind at all. He was still thinking like this without this and that. However, Lin Xiaochu made him feel that he was not stupid. When he came to this, Chu Huaixian hoped that she would agree. But at this time, she said that if she wanted to, Mr. Chu still didn't pay attention to it.
"Go back and think about it. If you meet Mr. Mo to disturb you by selling flowers, just mention me to him." In the past, women's women did not show up. If Lin Xiaochu agrees today, Chu Huaixian doesn't want her to go out again. However, she still had to think about it. Mr. Chu felt that I also thought about it, regardless of whether she was still selling flowers outside.
Lin Xiaochu, who came out of the study, met the unhappy vision of staying in spring and summer. Lin Xiaochu, who took the flowers from Jin Xier's hand, went to no one and made a grimace.
The fragrance of flowers in his hand shows that this gentleman not only buys his own people, but also buys his own heart. Did everyone's aunt take such a hard time in the past? Lin Xiaochu doesn't know. From ancient times, she took it step by step. At this time, she took it step by step and sold flowers first.
I sold flowers for a few days and dealt with the money matchmaker for a few days. Lotus also came to have fun, maintained a close sister relationship with Lin Xiaochu, and then went to the Chu family to take care of each other.
Every time the lotus blooms, Lin Xiaochu is exposed to the sun. If she knew that half of the fate lotus was her own girl, she would not have been so enthusiastic about sisterhood.
The weather is sultry in summer, and the fragrant white orchids smell refreshing. Lin Xiaochu's business is still good. After selling flowers every day, she helped the restaurant attract guests for a while, then sat on the table at the corner of the restaurant, took Lin Xiaoyi to eat some meals left for her by the shopkeeper before going home.
"The adulterous husband** woman caught in the alley of the Hu family,"
"It is said that the clothes are not worn when pressed **."
The street was in chaos. Lin Xiaochu only heard a few words, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He was in a better mood. This is the incident of the money matchmaker.
In order to watch the fun, Lin Xiaochu, who was not too hot in the evening, went home with Xiaoyi. Despite the heat of the sun, he hurried home to wait for the fun.
I went back neither early nor too late. I went into the house to wash my face with cold water in the well and just sat down. There was a sound of footsteps outside, and at least a dozen people came.
is led by a solid middle-aged man, who is a Sun businessman. He pointed to the door of the money matchmaker's house and said, "Smash it and smash this matchmaker who leads people around."
Lin Xiaochu and Lin Xiaoyi watched the excitement. Lin Xiaoyi was short and lay on the wall of the courtyard and said, "Sister, why did you smash their house?"
"There are too many bad things to do!" Lin Xiaochu said happily.
"Where has the family gone?"
Lin Xiaochu remembered that when he came back just now, he still heard that there was someone in the money matchmaker's family. She ran to the back of her house and looked. Sure enough, the money matchmaker shrank in the grass, and the earthy money matchmaker pleaded with Lin Xiaochu, "Don't say I'm here."
Lin Xiaochu, who felt relieved, was a good person in front of him: "Don't worry, I won't say anything." Then Lin Xiaochu continued to go to the front to watch the bustle, and then told Lin Xiaoyi not to talk nonsense. That's what he said just now: "It should!" Lin Xiaochu was not sure whether the money matchmaker heard it or not. Maybe she was so scared that she was so scared that she fought next door, and she didn't hear it.
After such a mess, the merchant Sun was still puzzled. He stood at the door of the matchmaker's house and talked about the crime of the matchmaker Qian: "I'm going to report to the government office and sue this evil mother-in-law."
Lin Xiao's original intention was in full bloom, and many neighbors also felt happy. The money matchmaker only has a rich man in her eyes, and the woman who asks her to earn money to cheat on her doesn't have these poor neighbors. Everyone feels angry together.
When I came back at night, I also frowned. I told Xiaochu about the excitement in the city carefully, and finally said, "It's really an official. The woman and Zheng Er couldn't stand being beaten and told the matchmaker.
