Chapter 4, steal flowers to sell

In the surprised eyes of his family and doorkeepers in the past, Lin Xiaochu limped and jumped out as if he were fleeing from the gate. Jin Xier just looked at her back and said to herself, "This girl hasn't forgotten her bag of flowers when she left."

Lin Xiaochu put the flower in a cloth bag tied to his chest. Because it was tied tightly, the bag was still there when it fell into the water, and of course the bag with a bag mouth was also on his body when he left. Lin Xiaochu's stealing of incense this time was a success.

The family at the door asked puzzledly, "Brother Jinxi, I'm guarding the door today. I don't know when this girl entered the house." Chu Short, who guarded the door together, was smart: "There are still two corner doors at home, which should be entered by the corner door."

Jin Xier stared at them fiercely: "Good guard the door." He turned around and brushed his clothes and strode away. Chu Chang and Chu Short touched their heads for no reason, but they just stretched out their tongues: "The prince's close-fitting little boy is really powerful."

Chu Huaixian stood by the pool and was still looking at the courtyard wall and tall white orchid trees. Behind him were the urgent footsteps. Pang Zhi, the housekeeper, heard Xier say that people crawled in on the courtyard wall and trotted over to plead guilty. Pang Zhi, who was sweaty, came and knelt on the ground and said, "It is said that people came in the backyard, and I am in charge of my home here. I am not well prepared. Please ask the prince to severely punished."

Chu Huaixian, who glanced at the courtyard wall, turned around and looked grim: "You are an old person in your family, and you understand the rules of the family. If there is no one living all year round, it is also a matter of neglect.

"I forgive you, but the slave didn't do a good job." Pang Zhi is an old man of the Chu family and a self-disciplined housekeeper. Although he didn't understand the temperament of the prince he had not seen for several years, Pang Zhi still knew that it was his fault. People can jump in the courtyard wall in broad daylight. If anyone comes in at night, the prince will make a mistake, which is not a good deal.

Pang Zhi kept kowtowing on the yellow land, and his forehead soon turned green. Chu Huaixian squeezed his lips and said, "Okay, you have three months of grain and rice, and you are not allowed to do such a thing in the future." Just now, the girl fell from the tree, and Chu Huaixian was shocked. Fortunately, there was no damage when he fell into the pool, and his mouth could not stop babbling. If he fell anywhere, Chu Huaixian thought that the crime of stealing flowers was not so serious.

After scolding Pang Zhi, Chu Huaixian played in the garden for a while and forgot this episode behind his mind. He went straight back to his room to read a book. His reputation could be cute, but the arrogant Chu Huaixian was still willing to go to the field and fight with the world. My father also supports this.

After a nap, there were people visiting outside the door. Jin Xier just replied, "Mr. Liang came to worship you." The voice outside the room came first, and he smiled and didn't feel serious: "Brother Huaixian, do you have a good dream?"

Mr. Liang Long was walking in with a folding fan, and then he said a few times: "The window is quiet, and my brother is still an elegant man." Mr. Liang's family lives here, and he has relatives in Beijing. I go to Beijing once a year to see my relatives, and I am a friend of the same age as Chu Huaixian. It's just a steady and unscrupulous one.

"It's the house cleaned up by Xi'er," Chu Huaixian was also happy to see him come. Hearing Mr. Liang praise the house for its good, he made fun of it and said, "The elegant person you praise is Jin Xi'er."

Jin Xi'er brought tea in. Mr. Liang looked up and down and asked him, "Little slave, the amber bowl and jasper basin on this shelf are beautiful. This is what you put." Jin Xier answered with a smile: "Yes."

"This slave has grown a lot," Mr. Liang said, and Chu Huaixian also laughed twice. It's not a growth, but just posing casually. This color sets off the quiet garden outside, and Mr. Liang feels refreshed, which should be praised.

After praising the house, Mr. Liang invited Chu Huaixian to go out: "Although there are no famous scholars in the city, there are several scholars who are famous for their brother Huaixian; they dare not be called elegant people. Sit down and chat. In the evening, I will set up a banquet for you. Let's go to a new restaurant for a few drinks.

Chu Huaixian, who was worried about the afternoon, happily agreed, changed into a light moon-colored embroidered cloud goose coat, took a folding fan of golden nail fragrant wood in his hand, and told Jin Xier: "Mr. Chen comes back, please come too."

The two princes walked out of the door, one by one and two people carried a small bamboo sedan chair and came up to the restaurant in the city. Mr. Liang made an appointment with several scholars early, and his family background was not as good as these two princes. When he saw him, he said that he was lucky to see him for a long time. Everyone sat down to drink and have fun.

When the wine is half full, the sound of the lute is as round as beads. Hearing the sound of the pipa, Mr. Liang's eyes lit up immediately, and the people sitting next to him either covered their mouths or lowered their heads and smiled.

"Lu Cai, let the little song come in and sing a few pieces of wine." Mr. Liang himself laughed and called his family out to call the pipa player in, and then explained to the puzzled Mr. Chu, "Don't let these people make fun of me. This is a pearl girl who sings a little song in my city. I called her a few times, and these bastards made fun of me."

The curtain rang softly, and Lu Cai came first, followed by the pearl girl holding the pipa. This is a 28 girl with a red dress and a green skirt underneath. Apply thin powder on the surface and a slight hairpin ring on the hair. Zhu Niang came in and said good luck: "Thank you for your food. I don't know what you want to hear?"

"Sing a lovesick song," someone joked.

"She can't sing," Mr. Liang rescued him, which made people laugh at him even more. Chu Huaixian also laughed a little. Mr. Liang has always been a light woman, and this is the one who sings this little song again.

Mr. Liang said to Zhu Niang, "Sing what you are good at." He also asked Lu Cai to move a stool to sit and sing for her. Zhu Niang thanked and sat down, and Ding Dong began to play and sing.

At the end of the song, Zhu Niang got up to thank her for the money. Outside, the curtain was raised and another person came in, and the sound was as crisp as a ostrich bird coming out of the nest. When he came in, there was a smell of flowers on his face. Lin Xiaochu came in with Lin Xiaoyi's smile and white orchids on his face: "Everybody, buy flowers, sober up and refresh yourself."

Zhu Niang smiled. She and Lin Xiaochu are also neighbors. Zhu Niang told Lin Xiaochu to do business in this newly opened restaurant. And it was agreed that as soon as he stopped making a pipa sound, Lin Xiaochu came in to do business. It's a help between neighbors.

The fragrant white orchid was sent to the table. Lin Xiaochu and Chu Huaixian looked at each other, and both of them were stunned. Lin Xiaochu's face was a little embarrassed, and Chu Huaixian smiled.

This girl is so bold! The stolen flowers are sold regardless of them.

"Good fragrant flowers, what's the price?" Someone in the seat asked about the price. Lin Xiaochu was embarrassed. Lin Xiaoyi replied loudly, "One penny."

Lin Xiaochu woke up in embarrassment and quickly piled up a smile: "The gentlemen are all elegant people. How can elegant people have wine without flowers?" This made several princes laugh: "This girl can speak."

Look at this flower-selling girl, her flattering smile and eyes are just for the newly met Mr. Chu. Lin Xiaochu accompanied the smiling face and tried to send his eyes over: How can you have the heart to argue with me without hitting the smiling face?

After receiving such a look, Chu Huaixian couldn't help laughing first, and then remembered that the girl twisted her leg and was still running here to sell flowers to earn a living. Chu Huaixian took a look at Lin Xiaochu's skirt. She didn't pay attention when she came in just now. At this moment, she couldn't see whether she walked well or limped.

"Leave ten flowers, Lu Cai, and give her money." Mr. Liang is used to stealing incense and jade. He will wrongly communicate with these two people and think that Chu Huaixian likes it.

Lin Xiaochu took the money and quickly took Lin Xiaoyi out. Chu Huaixian frowned slightly, and the girl still walked unfavorably. Mr. Liang's rogue voice came to his ear: "Brother Huaixian's favorite person?"

"I just came yesterday, and you arranged me." Chu Huaixian withdrew his eyes and saw that the new friends on the seat were laughing. When they saw the scene just now, they also had the same idea as Mr. Liang.

"It's not the person you like, that is, she falls in love with you. Her eyes are only sent to you, and your eyes are only to look at her. Mr. Liang said the right way.

Chu Huaixian knew that Mr. Liang had always liked to talk nonsense, and it was even more unclear to defend and argue with him. He just said, "Drinking, the clear man is self-evous."

The sound of the pipa in the seat sounded again, and Lin Xiaochu outside breathed a sigh of relief. In the Chu family, she had a cramp in her leg and strode out of the door without getting well. It still hurts. In order not to worry Xiaoyi, Lin Xiaochu said nothing. He forced himself to pretend that he had nothing to do and went to the city to sell flowers with Lin Xiaoyi. He didn't want to meet the flower owner again.

After a moment of chagrin, Lin Xiaochu opened her crisp voice to attract business. Because of his beautiful voice, the shopkeeper of the new restaurant is also smiling. The flower girl not only sold flowers, but also helped call guests. Zhang's shopkeeper sat happily at the counter and looked at Lin Xiaochu, who flew around like a butterfly.

This flower butterfly was worn until the afternoon. The flower was sold out, and the pain on the leg was even worse, as if it couldn't stand.

"It's a fight. Someone is fighting." Someone shouted outside the door. Lin Xiaochu, who took Lin Xiaoyi home, endured the pain in his leg and just walked to the door. Lin Xiaoyi screamed, "Sister, it's my brother who is fighting with someone."

The crowd surrounded the people who were fighting tightly, and the sound of fighting came from inside. Through the gap between people's heads, Lin Xiaochu also saw that one of the two people who were fighting inside was the birthplace. It's the place where he fell from the tree and asked for medicine for himself in the rain.

"Make way, let me in." Lin Xiaochu and Lin Xiaoyi, who had severe pain in their legs, finally squeezed in, and there were two groups of people standing in the circle. One group is a few teenagers who usually come and go, standing there with their waists to watch the enemy flirt; the other group is a few rough men. It was also a big man who wrestled with the land, seven or eight years older than the land. But the ground is tall, but the big man can't suppress him.
