Spring flowers

Chapter 81, interfering in housework

In recent May, the garden is full of flowers. Xiaochu stood outside the porch, and outside was a stone path with bamboo vines. I just hope someone can help.

When I didn't see anyone when there was half a cup of tea, Xiaochu could only accept his fate. Tilt or drag or hold him all the way to the study and tire himself half to death. Chu Huaixian came in and saw Lin Xiaochu with sweat on his face and dirty stains on his clothes. This flower is okay. Let's put it here." Chu Huaixian looked at it casually and let Lin Xiao go for the first time. Xiaochu was ready for a lot of persuasion, but he couldn't say a word, and then he came out.

When Chu Huaixian came back late at night, Xiaochu couldn't find a chance to talk to him, so he had to go back to his room to sleep. Xiaoyi climbed her neck and asked her, "How's the place?" Xiaochu told the truth, and he didn't have enough confidence: "I don't know." At this time, Xiaochu thought that there were so many people in the family, and the prince was like Sun Erhai, and he didn't worry about finding anyone.

The next day, he went to the study twice and said that Chu Huaixian was in the old lady's room. Xiaochu came back and sat and talked with Dongran and others in the room. Qiu Bai was talking about Xiaochu's recuperation: "You are a fox spirit. If you go out with the prince once, you will get sick. I don't want to sweep the yard. You came up with such an idea. Xiaochu was listless and didn't reply to her because she was worried.

Next, it is said that the three girls are all in charge and are particularly concerned. Xia Lvxian said, "It's said that the prince and the old lady said something before they had to change people." Qiu Baimei also felt that the prince was wrong: "After all, the second master is an elder, and it is also out of concern." Xiaochu smiled and said, "There are still people who kill people out of concern." The three maids looked at her together.

Dong Ran sighed, "At most, it can be changed from good to bad. What else can we do?" Lin Xiaochu was surprised: "You sighed? How can you sigh?" Dong Ran wanted to exclaim: "Why can't I sigh? Who is like you? There is no one else but my sister."

Xiaochu couldn't stand her words and begged for mercy: "Sister, a lot." He hurriedly poured tea for the three people. Dong Ran couldn't help laughing and said, "Chunhong has gone. There is no one in this room who hates you. But out of this house, the second master hates you. Xiaochu grinned: "Then I'm really unfortunate." Does the second master hate me? He has hated it since I didn't go to Beijing.

A steward's mother came in and said with a smile, "The girls are all here. In the afternoon, they all go to the hall of the house to discuss matters. I know the girls in this room, and I can't figure it out the little girls. Please tell me." After the mother who passed the message went, Qiu Bai also sighed: "I remember the year when the second master was in charge, I was only a few years old, and I also went to the hall to talk. I stood in the dark with my parents, and I just felt scared. I don't know which one will be unlucky tonight? Dong Ran suddenly thought, "If you say that the prince is in charge of things, we should be in charge."

Xia Lu smiled and hummed, "You are dizzy. How dare you think so." Dongran blushed slightly: "I think it's the money of the stewor." Xia Lu took a look at Xiaochu and said, "If we are in charge, I'm only optimistic about Chunhong, but it's a pity that she's gone." Xiaochu pretended not to hear it. Qiu Bai said lightly: "It's useless for you to take good care of her. The prince doesn't like her. Do you know about her marriage? The prince pressed the housekeeper and hurriedly booked a marriage for her. Qiu Bai was sad when he thought of this. Xiaochu was stunned: "Get married? So fast? When did you become a kiss?

"I became a marriage after going out for a month. I can't buy anything for a month. I would rather die than give me this marriage. Dongran began to be sharp again and said to Xiaochu, "Where's your cat crying mouse? Don't you know?" Xiaochu proved himself: "I really don't know. I have recommended her many times in front of the prince. Besides, if you are not good, you should tell me to go with a gift.

The three people stopped talking, and the room was silent for a while. Only then did the talking-loving winter dye start talking again and talking and laughing again until noon.

An hour after lunch, everyone except the left-behind people went to the hall. Xiaochu came for the first time and saw that there were hundreds of people in black pressure. Dongran put his head over: "This is just a steward and a girl with a head and face, and almost no one came." Xiaochu wondered what he was doing. The second master sitting on it was also puzzled, not only puzzled but also angry. He was a housekeeper and didn't know that he would suddenly come here. He peeked at the old lady and Chu Huaixian in front of the old lady, and he didn't understand what he was doing.

The butler hurried in from the outside and bowed to the old lady, "Everyone has arrived." Hundreds of stewards, including those who rushed to the farm near Beijing; the girl mother with a face in the house inside and outside, are waiting here, whether they get married or not. Mrs. Chu opened her mouth with a smile: "You are old, grandchildren, and there are also young but smart and capable people." When Master Chu heard this, his eyelids jumped a few times.

"It's like the Qing family, your father-in-law is outside with the eldest master all year round; Liu Chen's family is outside with the eldest lady all year round; and Mao Sheng, He Yong... are all people who usually work hard." Mrs. Chu said that one of the people who was mentioned as his name stood beside Xiaochu, and he answered with his name. Xiaochu saw water in the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were full of tears.

The old lady sitting in the middle is still talking with a smile. The window in the corner of the hall is opened, and light shines on the old lady's temples. The silver-white hair not only indicates that the old man is old, but also means that she has experienced the vicissitudes and world in her old age. Lin Xiaochu, who had heard that the old lady had been indifferent for several years, had admiration for her. This old man is not simple!

The old lady smiled and mentioned the names of most people in the hall one by one. The second master sounded like sitting on pins and needles. How can she still remember so clearly? And the second master only felt that the old lady was easy to talk about and said everything well. At this time, the second master also found that the old lady was a dumb person who ate sweet dumplings and knew it well. So she knows all about the unhappiness of herself and Huaixian in the past two years? On the afternoon of May weather, the second man sitting in the hall was full of cold sweat.

"Your family, Li Xian's family, you are in charge of collecting rent on the farm. How will this year's harvest compare with last year?" The old lady's words turned around, and her voice was not harsh but more imposing. The two people knelt down in the hall. The old lady didn't look at them, but asked again with a smile, "Jin Shun Jinzhong, you are the second master who took into the house and put gold and silver items in the warehouse. There is a gold-gold Buddha and a golden pagoda with various gems. Where is it now?"

Three people knelt this time, and the second master also knelt down with him. The third master and the third lady sitting next to him were happy in their hearts and saw that the second lady also knelt down. The third master looked at Chu Huaixian sitting under him at the corners of his head and turned a blind eye to all this. He was casually blowing away the foam in the tea bowl in his hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly like tasting tea. His nephew looked very much like his eldest brother Chu Shaofu at this time. In front of the sun outside the hall, the third master suddenly remembered the official scolded by his eldest brother. He never embarrassed him. He also casually held the tea bowl and spoke slowly, but the listener was ashamed.

At this time, the second master waited in front of his subordinates, and his red face felt ashamed. The golden pagoda was sent to Zhang Cheng to celebrate his birthday, while the golden Buddha asked Prime Minister Zhang to give it to the queen. The second master felt that except for himself, there was a public heart everywhere else. The eldest brother is not at home, and there is no shortage of social activities outside.

Mrs. Chu also couldn't see the people kneeling at all, and slowly said several ills in the family. With little effort, more than ten people knelt down in the hall. Lin Xiaochu opened his eyes wide and waited to see Mrs. Chu fall. There must be moths in everyone, but they are just exposed or beaten or replaced at once. How can there be so many replacement people?

"I watched coldly. There are all these things that I can't see. It would be great if I investigate them carefully." Mrs. Chu breathed a sad sigh and wiped the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand: "They are all people who get up early and work hard in the dark, but you got the wrong idea." When the third master heard this, he looked at the second master and then at Chu Huaixian.

Mrs. Chu continued: "There are three pieces of farmland outside Beijing. The people in charge have been laid off, and the relatives have also rested first. Calling you here today is not just about the hard work to find people who neglect. These three plots of land are here now. Who is willing to take care of them and can manage them well?

Everyone was stunned by this and stood up? Only Xiaochu heard that he was excited and looked at Chu Huaixian with admiration. The prince's intention is to manage himself openly, which is much better than sneaking out of the house as he thinks. No wonder the girls can come today. Xiaochu looked at Chu Huaixian warmly. Chu Huaixian tasted a bowl of tea in his hand, with a slight smile on his lips.

No one dares to stand up in the hall. Everyone in the family knows the details of the laid-off management in front of them. Why bother to offend them? Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "No one cares, and it's less offended to wait for the assignment?" This sentence made everyone sick, but no one stood up.

Lin Xiaochu waited quietly, ready to be the second sheep. Chu Huaixian tasted his own tea and thought carefully, is this tea a spring tea? Or Chencha? Instead of laughing, I can't eat old and new tea, and I'm still worried. What are you worried about? I'm worried that Lin Xiaochu doesn't dare to stand up and that this matter is not up to my mind.

If you give it to Lin Xiaochu, Chu Huaixian feels it's easy to manage; if you let others take it again, you will have this opportunity next time, at least wait for your parents to come back. Is it easy to find out two gold wares in Prime Minister Zhang's mansion? Despite this, Chu Huaixian is still not in a hurry, and he has enough patience to wait.

He smiled in his heart and lost this opportunity? Is Xiaochu in a hurry or am I unhappy? Why hasn't this girl come out yet?
