Chapter 18 Go to the East Courtyard
It was dark, and Lin Huazhi returned to Chen's house and entered the yard where she usually rested. Xing'er didn't know where she came out. She grabbed her and asked urgently, "My sister, where have you been during the day?"
"I went to Chengyeguan. What? What happened?" Seeing Xing'er's anxious look, Lin Huazhi vaguely felt that something had happened.
Xing'er looked around and found that no one paid attention to them, so she whispered, "Chen Nian, stewer Chen asked you to go to him and said that there was something to arrange for you. Sister, have you provoked Steward Chen? I heard that Steward Chen is not a good stubble.
I heard that Chen Nian was looking for her, and Lin Huazhi was also a little strange. According to reason, Chen Nian should avoid her. At this time, Baba came to her door, and there would be no conspiracy.
Lin Huazhi couldn't figure out what Chen Nian was thinking for a moment. After a while of silence, she looked up and asked Xing'er, "What's the matter? Who else did you call?"
Xing'er shook her head: "I only called you."
Lin Huazhi let go of something and wash her face, so she went to see Chen Nian in a hurry.
Chen Nian lived in a yard at the west gate of Chen's mansion and sent someone to find Lin Huazhi in the morning, but it was dark and there was no one there. He was getting angry more and more. Secretly, he only scolded the little bitch.
As soon as he had eaten, Chen Nian heard his family talking outside: "Girl, who are you looking for?"
"Auncil, I'm Lin Huazhi from Xige. I'm here to visit steward Chen."
As soon as Chen Nian heard that Lin Huazhi was outside, he rushed up from the pit. Before he could pull his shoes, he hurried out of the door.
"Big niece, you're here." Chen Nian looked enthusiastic and hurried forward to stop between the two women.
Chen Nian's family was called Chen Siniang. In his early years, he was also a fierce figure. At this time, he saw a little girl coming to find her man. Chen Nian looked anxious again. He thought that Chen Nian had done something behind her back. He couldn't help staring at Chen Nian.
Although this old days are domish, meeting his whole family is a typical representative of his fear of his wife. Seeing Chen Siniang angry, Chen Nian couldn't help but turn pale. He looked at Chen Siniang to the left and Lin Huazhi to the right, but he couldn't say half a word.
Lin Huazhi was funny in her heart. Although she didn't like Chen Nian's character, there was no need to tear her face at this time. She came forward and took Chen Siniang's hand and said, "Auness, I can enter Chen's house this time thanks to Chen's steward's care. My mother asked me to thank Chen's housekeeper." After saying that, she put a red envelope into Chen Siniang's hand.
Chen Siniang is also a money-loving owner. She pinched the red envelope in her hand and knew that there was a lot of money in it. She knew that there were many people who usually asked her and Chen Nian to do things. At this time, when she saw Lin Huazhi's small movements, she thought that she was the same as those who had asked Chen Nian to help her work, and she was no longer suspicious. With a smile, Chen Siniang said, "Big niece, you are really polite. If you don't help, just say 'aunuch' to you, and he can't ignore you. After saying that, he went into the room and left Chen Nian to talk with Lin Huazhi.
Chen Nian secretly said that she was so dangerous that she couldn't help looking up at Lin Huazhi, but she hated it in her heart. The little girl didn't come late, but she came to the door at this time, and she obviously didn't have any good intentions.
Lin Huazhi and Chen Siniang entered the house with a restrained face and said angrily, "I heard that Housekeeper Chen is looking for me in the daytime. What's the matter?"
No matter how much Chen Nian hates Lin Huazhi, he dares not pose any face at this time. After all, there is still a handle in her hand, and Chen Nian still knows the importance. Chen Nian lowered his voice and said, "Miss Lin, are you still used to coming to Chen's house?"
Lin Huazhi stared at him: "It's okay. Mr. Chen won't have any good arrangements, will he?" If you just want to ask a sentence that you are not used to, then Chen Nian will not rush to find her. She is sure that the old boy must have had something to do with it.
Chen Nian saw Lin Huazhi staring at him, and his eyes were dark and unclear. Even in the night, his eyes were like two sharp swords pointing directly at him, and his heart trembled. Chen Nian hurriedly said, "I know that the girl is not used to being in the West Pavilion. I specially told the housekeeper. Tomorrow, the girl will go to the East Courtyard to help. I don't know what the girl is?"
As soon as she heard that she went to the East Courtyard, Lin Huazhi couldn't help but change her face. She was still worried about how to go to the East Courtyard to inquire about the news. Now the pie is falling from the world, and it takes no effort.
Lin Huazhi was not in a hurry to respond. After thinking about it, he said, "Housekeeper Chen specially arranged for me to go to the East Courtyard. Isn't there any plan?"
Chen Nian is actually selfish. Who doesn't know that there is only Yan Shaobai living in the East Courtyard now. What else can he think of if he arranges a big girl there? But Chen Nian dared to say, just said, "The girl has wronged me. Although the East Courtyard has many things to do, it is also better than the West Pavilion, and the wages are more than the West Pavilion. Doesn't the girl need money?"
The reason for Chen Nian is really terrible, but Lin Huazhi is about to find an excuse to go to the East Courtyard. Although she knows that Chen Nian has no good intentions, he can't tolerate her to think too much. Therefore, she followed Chen Nian's words and said, "Mr. Chen is really attentive, so... thank you very much."
"There, the girl is polite." Chen Nian didn't get any benefits every time he saw Lin Huazhi. At this time, although Lin Huazhi said thank you, he didn't feel good about it. He sold a good thing to Lin Huazhi, which was nothing more than planning for himself, lest Lin Huazhi threaten him with his ugly deeds. At that time, he would not be a human inside or outside.
Lin Huazhi saw that Chen Nian's face had changed a little, and she expected that he would not be kind, but she accepted this kindness. At this time, Chen Nian was also a talkative person in Chen's house, and he would use many places in the future, which was really not easy to stiffen the relationship between them. She smiled and said, "Housekeeper Chen, I accepted your feelings today. Although I don't know the world, I also know the kindness of dripping water to repay you. Take care of yourself. I won't talk nonsense everywhere.
This is like a reassurance. Chen Nian naturally understood the meaning of this sentence. He looked behind him and saw Chen Siniang staying in the room. He lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "The girl went to the East Courtyard and took care of herself. The master is not a strict person. You just need to serve him well."
Lin Huazhi hummed, said a few more gossips, and then retreated from the yard of the old years.
But she is not happy in her heart. It's a good thing to get close to Yan Shaobai, but the closer she gets, the more worried she is. I couldn't help sighing and began to worry about tomorrow.
When Xing'er heard that she could go to the East Courtyard, she looked envious: "Sister Huazhi, if you go to the East Courtyard, why don't you come back to see me?" When I went to the East Courtyard, even the girl in the upper house was treated better than now. The upper and lower houses are strict and easy to exchange.
Lin Huazhi liked Xing'er's straightforwardness. After listening to Xing'er's words, she raised her hand and gently touched her face and whispered, "When I stand firm in the East Courtyard, I will ask the steward to let you enter the East Courtyard, and then we can be together again."
When Xing'er heard that she also had a chance to go to the East Courtyard, she couldn't help laughing and shook Lin Huazhi's hand left and right: "Sister Huazhi, you are so kind to me."
The two were talking and didn't want to hear a sneer: "Where are you in the East Courtyard? Did you go? Don't think you are good-looking. If you know a few stewers, you will think you are arrogant. I don't know what this has done secretly.
Lin Huazhi turned her head and saw a girl sleeping beside her. She was stunned and subconsciously said, "You... Cui Shuang, why are you here?"
