Chapter 3, Lin Xiaochu stole flowers

Sun Erhai said this sentence, which made the matchmaker's eyes disdainful: Didn't you recognize it? This is not the son passing by. It's the son of Lord Chu in Beijing. Look at the old family who followed him. He came here once two or three years ago.

Sun Erhai patted his head and remembered: "No wonder I'm familiar, so let's go to the other courtyard of the Chu family tomorrow."

The matchmaker thought that the other courtyard of the Chu family was not far from her residence. I didn't leave it near the water platform. Instead, I had to entrust Sun Erhai, an idle man, to give him the money in the future.

"You mother-in-law, recognize the identity of the prince, and you want to kick me away."

Sun Erhai is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Looking at his face, it can be seen that the money matchmaker has a different mind. The money matchmaker laughed as soon as she heard it:

"Look at your anxiety. Don't worry. By tomorrow, we will still be together, and I still have a place for you."

Matchmaker Qian approached and whispered, "It's really the girl of the Lin family. If she doesn't obey, you have to help. Also, Zhang Wu, who was sitting here just now, I don't like him. You can think of a way to make him not come tomorrow. He has a lot of people in his hands. It's not good to rob our business.

Sun Erhai smiled when he heard it and patted his chest with his hand, which means that with me, you can rest assured. Sun Erhai, who was covered in meat, shook his shoulders and walked away, with the momentum to beat the cow.

After getting Sun Erhai's approval, the matchmaker Qian went home. On the way, she thought that Lin Xiaochu was fine, and the girl of the Wang family and the girl of the Zhao family were equally good.

Fifty taels of silver floated around in front of the money matchmaker's eyes, which is also a big fortune for the money matchmaker.

Mr. Chu Huaixian took a carriage outside the inn and went to the courtyard with his family. The courtyard was outside the city. The nearest village was the residence of Qian matchmaker and Lin Xiaochu.

Chu Huaixian felt stuffy in the carriage and lifted the curtain and looked out. The pool was covered, and the water was as white as jade. Mr. Chen, who lived in the city for a long time, also praised: "When will we return with our reputation?"

Chu Huaixian smiled. Mr. Chen failed many imperial examinations and was regarded as a frustrated person. Last autumn, spring fell again. Before the achievement of fame, I thought of returning to the crown. Thinking that Chu Huaixian was not meant to make fun of, Chu Huaixian was pushed by others. His grandfather received the grace of the emperor, his father received the grace of today, and sooner or later he would go out to be an official. Chu Huaixian's words sounded even more fragrant.

"Within the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, you can see Nanshan leisurely," Mr. Chen chanted in a voice, slightly frenzy as a scholar: "Is there a little maidservant who draws water and a fire in the courtyard?"

Not only did Mr. Chen recall the pastoral poems in his mind, but also many famous sentences of hand in hand over the moss flashed in Chu Huaixian's heart. Apricot flowers are in April, and there is still a forest in June. Chu Huaixian was relaxed and happy. He threw away the depression when he came, and raised his finger to the pink peach in front of him: "Peach blossoms are still there. What's on people's face?"

"Haha, this is going to be a human face," Mr. Chen is very happy, and Chu Huaixian also smiled. Thinking that his father has been ordered to be gravy and has been out all year round. Although the grandmother in the family loved herself, it was her uncle who said a few words, and the grandmother was an unreasonable woman, which was biased.

In order to release people in his uncle's room, Chu Huaixian was furious and pushed out that Youshi was to avoid it. My uncle can't be an official, and he makes the family heavier. The mother, the third uncle, who had just got married, was placed in the grandmother's room, and the second uncle also found two concubines for him in the name of serving, so that the third uncle and the third aunt were married without a full moon and quarreled day by day. Let grandma hear that she protects her son and says that her third aunt is not good.

Women have always been one of the means to master people in history, but their own family has to do this? Chu Huaixian thought about his second uncle who couldn't make an official career and traveled. His parents are both in office, and only his second uncle is older in the family, so he entrusted him to take care of the housekeeper. I don't want him to take care of his hands and don't want to lose it from now on.

Chu Huaixian doesn't want to say anything, but he wants to be angry. I'm not a child.

"Son, we're here." Jin Xier, a beautiful servant, was Chu Huaixian's personal slave. He asked the driver to stop the carriage in front of the gate of the courtyard and jumped down to reply to the car. In front of the gate of the courtyard, the housekeeper Pang Zhi came here with several head-faced stewards with smiles.

Chu Huaixian got off the bus, and Mr. Chen got off the bus. The housekeepers met them one by one and went to the other courtyard. Mr. Chen came here for the first time and looked here with his eyes. Although it is a separate courtyard, it is also two wide doors. The shadow wall inside the door is snow-white, with red flowers crawling on the vines. Mr. Chen smiled, and the climbing tiger is lush.

Turning through the shadow wall, there is a stone corridor leading directly to the main hall, and there is a bright yellow imperial edict in the three main halls. Mr. Chen knew that he had also received the order here, and he couldn't help but respect it.

Mr. Huaixian turned around and called him, "Sir, keep up. Take a day off tomorrow and have plenty of time to enjoy." The housekeeper led the way around the main hall and went to the back. There may be a small pavilion or a big tree in the courtyard. Mr. Chen sighed in his heart that only the sons of a family can do this. After ten years of hard study, he will turn over and have to be so clean.

That night, Mr. Chen rested next to Chu Huaixian, which was also convenient for him to talk about two poetry papers. Early in the morning, the birds chirped, and Chu Huaixian, who slept well, got up lazily. He didn't want to get up early to practice martial arts all the way, so he was too lazy to get up early.

"Where's Mr. Chen?"

"Mr. has something to say to the prince. He said that he would live up to the green trees and flowers, and he couldn't wait for the prince to play alone."

I didn't want Mr. Chen to be happy. Chu Huaixian dressed in an ivory embroidered bamboo gown by Jin Xier, and recalled Mr. Chen's words after breakfast. Chu Huaixian, who came here a few years ago, asked Jin Xier, "There is a white orchid tree, is it still there now?"

"I know that the prince Aihua will definitely ask it. I asked the housekeeper Pang and the old place in the backyard last night. Now that he is getting taller, the prince has just eaten. Let's go and have a look?"

Chu Huaixian, who was too lazy to move, just asked casually and nodded when he heard that it was still there. The study was cleaned up next door, and Jin Xi'er, a slave, served him even better. The books he usually read were all on the bookshelf. Chu Huaixian, who casually smoked a book, turned over the book for a while and felt bored when he thought of his uncle.

Chu Huaixian, who left the book, walked out at will. Jin Xier stepped back a few steps and followed him. The master and servant came to the backyard. There was a tall orchid tree against the wall, and under the tree was a pool of clear water.

"Look, there is a man in that tree." When Jin Xier said, Chu Huaixian also saw a blue figure among the green branches and white flowers. The white orchid tree is two or three people high from the ground, and there is no bamboo ladder under the tree. How did this man give birth to the tree?

Look at his dexterous body drilling around the tree to pick white orchids. He bent the green silk, but he was a girl. Chu Huaixian stopped Jin Xier with a smile: "Don't surprise her. This tree is so high that it fell down." Jin Xier smiled at the prince's kind heart and also waited to look at the man on the tree.

"Sister, are you all over?" Lin Xiaoyi's voice came from outside the wall. Lin Xiaochu, who went up the tree from the courtyard wall, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Don't shout, you have to call people here." Lin Xiaochu, who subconsciously looked into the garden, showed his head from the leaves and looked at Chu Huaixian with a smile on his face.

with a "ah" scream, and then a "plop". After Lin Xiaochu screamed, Chu Huaixian couldn't help falling down the tree unexpectedly, but she calculated her fate and fell into the pool.

Chu Huaixian felt that he was the one who was frightened. He hurriedly walked to the pool with Jin Xier and said, "Girl, are you all right?" Lin Xiaochu floated on the water, and there was no need to worry about getting wet from head to foot. Lin Xiaochu was a little scared when he was there: "I'm fine." These two people are great here, and there is no doubt that they should be the owners.

The summer sun shines on the water through the leaves, and the white orchids emit a refreshing fragrance. Jin Xier didn't have much to say. Chu Huaixian looked at the "watery chicken" in the pool with a smile. Lin Xiaochu floated on the water and tried his best to steal other people's flowers and was caught. How should I let him let him go? You know that Lin Xiaoyi was still waiting outside to sell flowers together.

"How long are you going to soak in water?" Chu Huaixian smiled secretly. The girl looked cautious and worried, and knew that she was a thief who stole flowers.

Lin Xiaochu recognized that this young man was the generous person yesterday. It turned out that there were many white orchids in his family. Although Lin Xiaochu's flowers and trees bloom a lot, Lin Xiaochu's business can't keep up when it gets better. Lin Xiaochu came here to pick flowers and sell money every three or five times. The money matchmaker scolded the street. Only when she saw that the flowers in Lin Xiaochu's family were not enough for her to sell every day, she suspected that Lin Xiaochu stole the flowers from her family. In fact, this is the place where Lin Xiaochu stole flowers.

Hearing the prince's question, Lin Xiaochu, who was floating on the water, asked an inch, "Son, will you let me go?" I still have a little sister to support at home.

It sounds like a replica of an 80-year-old woman in my family. Chu Huaixian was very happy, but his face was serious. He also recognized that this was the girl who sold flowers yesterday. She dared to pick the flowers from her home and sell them to herself.

"I let you go..." Chu Huaixian pretended to meditate. With his hesitation, Lin Xiaochu, who was flustered, accidentally sank into the water and drank two mouthfuls of water. Chu Huaixian was shocked: "Come up, I'll let you go."

After a while, Lin Xiaochu sat on the edge of the pool. She rubbed her cramped legs and dared not look up at people: "Thank you, prince." I was nervous and had a cramp in my leg. It was really embothe.

"Can you still go?" Although Lin Xiaochu lowered his head, Chu Huaixian also saw the pain on her face. Lin Xiaochu was shocked and said quickly, "I can go." Regardless of the pain on her legs, Lin Xiaochu, who was limping, walked quickly to the white orchid tree. Did she fall from here or plan to go out of the tree from here?

Chu Huaixian is funny and angry: "Get out of the gate, where the gate is." As soon as his hand pointed in one direction, he saw the chicken girl going quickly to the gate. I think my leg is still hurting. Sometimes I walk a few steps, and sometimes I jump on one foot without hesitation. Behind him, Jin Xi'er shouted:

"Don't worry, the prince said he won't care about letting you go. Hey, I'll take you out."
