Chapter 34, the dark Mr. Chu
Jin Xier promised to go out to find Sun Erhai. Not much kung fu, he replied to Chu Huaixian's words: "His family will come back in two days." After stopping for two days, Jin Xier brought Sun Erhai here.
Sun Erhai was very uneasy. Xiaochu was worried and was afraid he wanted revenge. When he came to Mr. Chu to sit unhesitantly, Sun Erhai was just afraid to see it.
"The person you sent me, she wants to go home." Chu Huaixian is not a cautious gentleman, and he does not intend to condone the subordinates who he thinks are ignorant.
"Please tell me clearly."
"It's Lin Xiaochu. She will stop for a few days and go home."
Sun Erhai pretended to be surprised and secretly looked at Chu Huaixian several times before he understood his mind. Mr. Chu was full of displeasure, and he liked Lin Xiaochu at the beginning, and Sun Erhai boldly made a decision.
"This girl looked good at first, but she didn't want her to be so cunning. This is silver, or she said she would go to the prince in the name of the prince. In the future, if you stay well, the money will be paid off in half a year. Speaking of which, the villain looked at the prince and lent her a lot of money. Otherwise, she only has hundreds of money a day, and the villain doesn't dare to lend her hundreds of taels.
First, he sued Lin Xiaochu. Chu Huaixian heard it coldly: "Is it my fault?"
"If she can climb up the prince's door, she will come out to suffer, so that she doesn't know what's good or bad, but it's not good for the people in the prince's room to come out and say anything."
"Yes, I will finally wait for you, and I have to leave again."
After bypassing the circle of Sun Erhai and taking Chu Huaixian's idea, he agreed: "The villain sent it, and the villain went out. Even if she comes out to stay for two days, she will finally turn back.
Chu Huaixian downplayed: "Ah, of course, it's not as good as here."
After more than ten days, Lin Xiaochu rested for more than a month. The sky was blue and the water was clear, and she came to say goodbye to Mr. Chu. Chu Huaixian was very kind and rewarded her with two taels of silver. There are not many jewelry, only two gold hairpins and two jade rings of a few weight are rewarded, and a few clothes are taken away by Xiaochu.
There is another sentence: "I will serve you for a while. If you have something to do in the future, just come to me." Lin Xiaochu went out happily. I liked it on the way. After thanking my fifth aunt, I went to my sister's house.
The next morning, Xiaoyi also got up and only had his arms closed for more than a month. According to the doctor, he still had to rest. Sister Zhi opened several door panels on the wall of the courtyard and put a steamer to sell cooking cakes. Xiaochu swept the floor and helped here.
"How much is one?" A big man came outside and asked the fat white cooking cake. Lin Xiaochu spread his smiling face: "One penny."
The big man threw away a penny and took two bites in his hand. He vomited on the ground and scolded, "It's actually sour. You are moldy noodles, aren't you?"
"The face is the new wheat of that year," suddenly encountering such a thing, Lin Xiaochu and Lin Xiaoyi opened their eyes wide and spoke with one voice. Half of the cooking cake was split. Xiaochuyi flashed over and hit Xiaoyi, which made Xiaoyi cry: "Why do you hit people? It's a good face for me."
The local sister came out, and there was a lot of noise in front of the door. The big man's voice was high and he was scolding: "Black shop, dirty shop, just give me back a penny. Hurry up and get the old man's money."
"Big sister, he came to make trouble. I said he would pay him back, and he must compensate." Xiaochu said aggrievedly, and the big man rushed over and made the wooden counter ring loudly: "Who is so idle? You make trouble with your stinky girl? You look like a fairy, or better than the top brand in the kiln."
This is obviously a trouble, and anyone can hear it. Xiaochu was so angry that her eyelashes were full of tears, and her sister let the sister enter the house and talk to the big man by herself. Just one day when he encountered this unlucky event, Xiaochu turned around and could also hear the big man behind him scolding: "Okay, I smashed your store."
Lin Xiaoyi, who followed him, pulled Xiao Chu's clothes: "The bad man in the crowd." The door of the shop was open and the courtyard door was closed. The two sisters looked through the cracks in the door. Xiaochu was angry, and Sun Erhai was happy there. It's him!
The door quarreled for a long time before it calmed down, and the local sister came back to comfort Xiaochu: "If you can meet such a person when you make a living." Xiaochu was only worried and said listlessly, "I'm afraid it's really here to make trouble."
"It's okay. Your brother-in-law is born and raised here, and he also knows a few people. When he comes back with a burden, ask him to ask." My sister just said that. Someone patted the door on the courtyard door: "Sister, I'm back. What happened at home? The neighbors came to the street to find me and tell me."
My sister opened the door. My brother-in-law came back to put down his burden, took out a cigarette bag and smoked a bag of cigarettes, and walked out: "Zhang Laoguang, who is in charge of idle people on the street, met me. I usually sell a lot of money and invited him a lot. I'll ask."
Zhang Laoguang was found on the street, but there were people around him. He was a man with a fleshy face. Zhang Laoguang said, "This is Second Master Sun." My brother-in-law was so anxious that he said it. Sun Erhai smiled secretly and said in a clear voice, "I know your girl. She shouldn't be from here, right?"
"They lived in the Chu family's farm dozens of miles away, and the two sisters had no relatives and stayed at home."
"I know this girl, and my brother mentioned it to you for the first time. She didn't share peace at home. She walked around the streets to sell flowers. A few days ago, she worked as a girl in Mr. Chu's house and ran out well. Didn't she abduct her master's money?
My brother-in-law was shocked and waved his hands and said, "This is not a plan." Zhang Laoguang next to him also asked Sun Erhai, "Which escaped maidservant you just said is her?"
"I know her and know it's not her. But it's strange to think that the Chu family was not stunned and ran to this brother's house to sell cooking cakes. Brother, I advise you one more time to guard against her.
Sun Erhai said that Zhang Laoguang thought it was reasonable: "If you don't stay in a good place, our town is a hard life." He also said to his brother-in-law: "I just heard that the people who make trouble in your house are not from our town, but outsiders. It's better to find the reason in your own home first.
After sending away his brother-in-law, Zhang Laoguang and Sun Erhai, two idle men, only talked about making a fortune: "In the past few days, no big guests have come, and it's okay to get a few."
"I'm unlucky. The official Shen turned over and fell off his horse and entered the government office before I didn't get hit by the board. I'm much more careful now." Sun Erhai and Zhang Laoguang are both helping to be idle. They take rich guests to eat, drink and have fun, and make a few spare money. They have known each other for a long time.
Lin Xiaochu was furious in the room, but what can he do? How many taels of silver do you have? It costs more than ten taels of silver to rent a house in another place. If he doesn't leave, Sun Erhai will come again.
At this point, Lin Xiaochu felt that he thought it was too simple and took a person like Sun Erhai to see an official. How can he let it go? It was blamed for being in a good mood as soon as she came out. She relaxed her vigilance and went to Auntie Xie. Thinking that after passing through Qian's matchmaker's house, she just sneered at home. Lin Xiaochu couldn't wait to tie a villain, write the names of Sun Erhai and the fifth aunt, and tie it well.
The door opened, and Xiaoyi came in and whispered, "Sister, my brother-in-law came back. He didn't look good when he saw me. He pulled the elder sister's room to talk. Is it because we shouldn't quarrel with people?"
Xiaochu smiled bitterly. This is not something you want to quarrel with, nor can you quarrel without quarreling. Xiaochu, who decided to bring it this time, also whispered, "Xiaoyi, listen to it. They won't quarrel for me, will they?"
"Of course not," Xiaoyi said and went out with a bitter face for a while; "Sister, you're right. My brother-in-law said that you had offended someone and couldn't stay in the Chu family before coming back to hide. He asked the eldest sister to ask you what you had done. The eldest sister didn't believe it and was arguing with him." Xiaoyi asked, "Sister, have you offended someone?"
With a sound, Lin Xiaochu, who was bitter in his sister's room, found that Lin Xiaochu, who saw things were not complete, came to the door of his sister's house, picked up his finger and knocked on the door, and then pushed it open.
The two people in the room were in a hurry to clean up, but they had no intention to knock down the basin rack in the dispute. Fortunately, there was no water in the basin and there was no wetland. Zhi's brother-in-law forced a smile: "Xiaochu is here," Zhi's sister doubted Xiaochu's wry face, and her husband believed what she had just said.
"Xiaochu, was he really kicked out by the Chu family?"
"Not really." Lin Xiaochu is about to cry.
Three days later, Chu Huaixian was in a good mood in the center of his room. He looked at Lin Xiaochu in front of him: "You are still willing to come back. I am willing to take you back, but you have to make it clear that you have to sign a deed of sale this time. And the value of silver is not 300 taels.
"How much is that?"
Chu Huaixian said slowly: "Go to the street and ask how much it costs to buy a person. Jiangbei lacks harvest, many disaster victims, and there are many people planting grass marks in the city. You can ask me after you estimate your worth.
Lin Xiaochu, with a pale face, lowered his head and lived in his sister's house for three days, and there was trouble for three days. On the way, my brother-in-law borrowed a ox cart to accompany him and passed by Sun Erhai and others. Lin Xiaochu said, "Please tell me the price, and I promise."
"In Xier, go to the housekeeper Pang and get the lotus's price book for her."
Take it for a while, and it says forty taels. In the past, women were worth this money. Lin Xiaochu's face was pale. Hearing Chu Huaixian's beautiful voice, "Add ten taels of you, I'll give you fifty taels of silver."
The document was written soon. Mr. Chu was not in the mood to praise Lin Xiaochu again this time. It was Jin Xier who asked the outside account to write it and bring it in. The above clauses were rigorous. Handing over the pen to Lin Xiaochu, Jin Xier urged her: "Sign your name."
The ink-stained brush was in Xiaochu's hand, the tip of the pen shook a few times, and a drop of ink shook Xiaochu's body. It's not that Mo is too full, but Xiaochu's hands are shaking. She trembled a few times, wrote her name on the deed of sale with tears, and pressed the big red fingerprint.
"Ah, take her to get the silver," Chu Huaixian was careless and didn't look at Xiaochu. Jin Xier put away the deed of sale and asked Xiaochu to go with him: "Do you want a silver ticket or silver?"
There is no indescribable disgust in Jin Xier's eyes, and there is no good impression on Lin Xiaochu's sacrifice to run. At the beginning, when you were chased, the prince helped you; after the difficulties, he turned around and left. Jin Xier doesn't hide her dislike. It's not easy to enter a person in the prince's room. Xiaochu didn't know it.
