Chapter 63, the anxiety after receiving the monthly money
When Chunhong is not here, Lin Xiaochu is much cleaner in front of his eyes. Chunhong's eye thorn is her, and of course Xiaochu understands. Now it's a good place, and you can take a lazy look at the flowers in the yard. In the past, when selling flowers, Xiaochu thought about whether she liked flowers the most, so she went to be a flower girl in ancient times. When he worked hard, Xiaochu wanted to comfort himself like this.
There is a plum blossom in front of you, and bamboo in the melting snow, red and blue, accompanied by the dark trunk of the locust tree. These colors are pleasing to the eyes. Xiaochu leaned under the porch and could see her. He heard Qiu Bai call her in: "It's been paid monthly. Do you want to find a way? In the future, you have to get things. The people in the account room always have to recognize it."
Xiaochu thanked her, but Chunhen led her to go together. On the road, Chunhen pointed to her again: "You may not get it today. The one of the steward Zhou in the account room is the best to please the housekeeper. Sister Qiu Bai won't come, and Sister Xia Lv won't come either. I'll let you come alone. Sister Dongran never goes to know what she wants for money.
It sounds like another difficult time. Xiaochu smiled and said that he was not afraid: "You always have to know the way to meet people, and you can come early or late." Chunhen thought about it and took a look at Xiaochu: "As long as you're not afraid."
"Why should I be afraid?" Chunhen said that he asked at the beginning of the year. Chunhen hesitated and said, "We are the girl, and we should be afraid of being a family member. In addition to the generous son in this family, only the old lady is a kind person.
The girl Chunhen has always been talking endlessly, and others will be on guard against it. Xiaochu seized this opportunity and quickly asked, "Is there still a second lady and a third lady in the family?" Xiaochu only knew that the prince didn't like the second master. When he first met that night, the second master looked bad. What about the third master?
The weather was warmer, and the snow melted so that the stone path was wet. Spring marks were frowning with his skirt: "It's wet again." He frowned and said, "The second master is a powerful man. He is in charge of this family, not his. He is strict." Xiaochu looked at Chunhen again with new eyes, and the little girl still knew a lot of truth.
Listening to Chunhen's continued, he said, "For Jinger's matter, you can't bump into the second master. You can either fight or change the moon money, but if the second master is smooth, he will take special care of him." Speaking of this, Chunhen raised his eyes and said, "Do you understand?" Xiaochu nodded: "I understand." I understand why the prince hates the second master. Chunhen also said just that this family is not the second master's, and he is releasing favors privately.
When Chunhen speaks again, he has to look back and forth on both sides and no one is willing to say, "The third master was born by his aunt. The old lady doesn't like him, and he never says much when he is not at home." Xiaochu couldn't help smiling: "Are those two masters the old lady's own?"
"It was born by the girl," Chunhen couldn't help laughing and added, "It was born by the old lady's girl." This is very different. Three people with different identities flashed in Lin Xiaochu's mind, and the relationship between the family members was really lively.
Two people came from the corner in front, one was a young woman in her 20s, followed by a girl. Chunhen pulled Xiaochu: "Three ladies." The two maids saluted, and the third lady stood and smiled at Chunhen, "Is this the girl?" Chunhen nodded: "That's her."
The third lady took Xiaochu's hand and said, "Lift up and let me have a look." Xiaochu also looked at the third lady, a woman with white apricot eyes and good facial features without evil spirits. The third lady saw it and said, "There is beauty." I said it and left.
Chunhen and Xiaochu continued to go forward. Chunhen told Xiaochu: "The third lady is also not easy. She was born in a small official family. Less than a month after marrying this family, the second master told the old lady that she was young and there should be an honest and reliable person in the room. He said that the two maids asked the old lady to refer to the third master's room."
Xiaochu was slightly shocked: "How can the second master manage his brother's room?" Chunhen wink at her: "So, don't bump into the second master about Jinger. In our own room, the prince doesn't care much.
As they spoke, the two came to the account room to see the steward Zhou. The steward Zhou followed the housekeeper Chu Youyi to take care of the outside, and the steward woman took care of the things inside. This is a fat woman with few wrinkles on her face, but she seems to be in her forties. After asking Xiaochu and Chunhen's intentions, the stewardess snorted in her nose: "In the past few days, only the old lady, the old lady, the prince and the prince and the girls will only be paid, and the girls will take it for a few days."
Xiaochu inquired before coming and said with a smile, "It is said that we have received it in the old lady's room, so we just came." Zhou's stewer patted the table and scolded, "The little hoof doesn't look in the mirror. Can you compare with the girls in the old lady's room? Not to mention you, you are the prince. When you see the cats and dogs in the old lady's room, you also want to give a smile. What are you?"
was scolded, and Lin Xiaochu came out with a trace of dismay and spring. Chunhen comforted her: "It's good that you didn't return her words. If you return her words, she will be in charge. Even if she commits the following offenses, she will take you to see the second master. When the new girl doesn't know how much, she has to be fooled to listen to a lesson or lead a few boards.
Lin Xiaochu smiled happily: "You remind me in advance, I understand." After a few more steps, Chunhen suddenly pulled Xiaochu to hide aside: "Jia'er's mother." It's too late to hide. Jia'er's mother has rushed over and scolded: "You are the bitch. The outsider bullied the family. You don't inquire about it. Where were you when our father-in-law served the old man?"
He was scolded again and again, and Lin Xiaochu's stomach was also angry. Zhou is in charge of the woman. She is in charge. Jia'er couldn't frame herself, and Jia'er's mother also pointed to her nose and scolded. Xiaochu had a temper and did it. She stared and was about to come forward. Chunhen dragged her to death, but she shouted anxiously, "Let's go back." I don't know where Chunhen's strength came from. She dragged Xiaochu and ran away. Lin Xiaochu felt that this was called fleeing from the wilderness, but he couldn't get away.
The scolding went all the way to the back, and you can also hear Jiaer's mother shouting proudly: "Little prodigal hooves! Let's see how much time you will hide from me." I think I must be proud of my waist in the back. Lin Xiaochu took a long breath, and there were more than eight kings in the shallow pool and eight kings in the deep pool.
Chunhen dragged Xiaochu from the corner door to the second door, and then let go of her so tired that she held the wall and gasped. Xiaochu was deeply moved and gasped and said, "Thank you." Chunhen took a long breath and waved his hand and said, "You don't have to thank me. It's the prince who asked me to take care of you. Where have you seen these people outside?
Lin Xiaochu was sincerely grateful and said, "Thank you, sister Chunhen, and thank you, prince." Chunhen took a breath and slowly went to the room with Xiaochu: "You can't talk back to her and quarrel with her. It's not right for both of them to quarrel." Xiaochu was shocked and couldn't help holding Chunhen's hand and weeping with gratitude: "My sister said that."
Facing Lin Xiaochu's feelings surged on the ground, Chunhen's face turned red, and he slowly pulled out his hand and said, "As I said, it was the prince who asked me to take care of you. I don't understand it when I first came here. I'm going to suffer. The prince couldn't bear to see you suffer losses before he handed it over to me. You just have to thank him.
In the small original intention, I only feel warm, and there are bad people everywhere, but such good people are enough to make up for it. She smiled and said, "Yes, I have to thank you well." When he came back, he told Qiu Bai that he didn't get it. What he heard was just a smile.
Just after running, there were a lot of mud ideas splashed on the skirt. In the first room, I went to get another skirt to change it. Lotus came in urgently: "You're back. Sister Qiu Bai asked me to go out of the second door. I heard Chunhongniang say to Jia'er Niang, how can we Chunhong instigate your daughter, but I just watched the girl go out and ask for nothing. One sentence. Your Jiaer is young and loyal. She must have thought that she would go out in the middle of the night to tell her the rules. If you want to find her, you should ask that girl if she doesn't sleep well at night. Now the old man can't ask about the newcomers. This is a strange thing in our family.
The lotus said, and Xiaochu's bitter smile deepened one point. Lotus said that she was still eager: "I'll come in to you when I hear it. Don't go out if you have nothing to do, just go out and take me with you. When she scolds you, two people are better than one. Lin Xiaochu smiled more bitterly: "She has scolded me and came back like running away."
I told Lotus about meeting Jiaer's mother. Lotus was stunned and just said, "I also envy you in the prince's room. You don't have to do rough work. Your clothes are bright every day. I don't want to have such a thing." Lotus suddenly cherished: "I'd better be a sweeping girl. At most, I can't sweep my yard well, and I can't just wipe the table."
Lin Xiaochu smiled weakly: "That's the sentence. In fact, I envy you in my heart." The lotus was still shocked until she went out. Official families and families in Beijing should not all follow the rules and know everything. In this way, what's the difference from the ignorant farmers in the village?
After changing their skirts and coming out, two or three little girls came to talk. They were all very polite: "Say that my sister went to get the monthly money, and we are waiting to use the money." Another poor man said, "My mother is sick. When I ask the doctor to take medicine with my monthly money, she is not at home all year round. The doctor takes medicine is his own money."
Xiaochu accompanied her with a smiling face and only said a few days, and the little girls would say, "In the past, Sister Chunhong was here, and every day was not bad. Xiaochu's sister supported Sister Chunhong's nest, which should be the same as her." It's really annoying. It was not easy to coax the little girls away, and a mother with a face came over. She looked at Xiaochu and smiled politely and implicitly: "You call Xiaochu, and the second master calls you to go."
