Chapter 21, a few rounds with the maids

Let Lin Xiaochu enter the house, of course, not as a girl. Chu Huaixian saw it outside the bamboo curtain and hesitated to open the curtain. Liuchun and Liuxia panicked. They were pointing happily and were unprepared to say that Chu Huaixian, who accompanied Mr. Chen to wait for dinner in the garden, came in again. No one went to hit this curtain.

"The prince is back," Liuchun Liuxia came over in a panic, and Chu Huaixian himself opened the curtain and came in. He didn't say anything. Lotus was bullied by Liuchun Liuxia, and Chu Huaixian didn't say anything. Even in Beijing, among the maids in the room, there are not many who can easily get in front of him. This is an unspoken rule of life in the house, and Chu Huaixian knows it in his heart.

"My fan fell. Take a fan and give it to me." Chu Huaixian gave the broken old fan to Liuchun and sent a new folding fan to Liuxia. Chu Huaixian, who turned a blind eye to Lin Xiaochu, turned away and said at the same time, "Bring dinner quickly. Burn yesterday's wine with my favorite jade cup."

Liuchun Liuxia agreed, and Chu Huaixian smiled. Xiaochu talked to the prince to see how she passed the two maids. The prince has something to say first and won't help. In the future, I will help and see if I am happy.

Back to the pavilion, Mr. Chen dressed in white and made fun of Chu Huaixian in the twilight: "The prince dropped his beloved fan and went away. He came back happily, thinking of the newly received girl and saying something to sober up."

"That's not true. She lay honestly in the room and wiped the floor. I looked interesting." Chu Huaixian put down the new Nanmu landscape folding fan in his hand and didn't mind telling Mr. Chen, "I'm waiting for the girls in the room to make waves."

"Ha ha, what a bad thought the prince." Mr. Chen made fun of him and didn't pay attention to it. Not to mention that it will be like this between girls and subordinates, it is like this everywhere in officialdom and school: "I can't cope with it. I can't afford to be liked by a prince."

The sky was getting dark, dinner was delivered, and a horn lamp was lit between the flowers and leaves, shining like a star in the sky. The breeze seemed to come out from under the armpit. Mr. Chen said happily, "Interesting, my son and I are very white."

"There was a letter from Beijing, saying that Prime Minister Zhang also told the emperor that he wanted to withdraw the elite soldiers from the four princes. They also ordered the good generals to go to Beijing to obey their orders, saying that public security is the most important thing in Beijing. Chu Huaixian drank a glass of wine and said slowly to Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen smiled: "The emperor is always wise, that is, the queen. Although she is Zhang Cheng's biological daughter, she has always been virtuous and refuses to let her family do it."

"The little prince of Zhongshan received a letter the day before yesterday and invited me to visit him. I grew up with him in Beijing when I was a child. Since he went to the land, I haven't seen him for several years." Chu Huaixian was a little drunk: "If I hadn't missed the exam, I would have really wanted to go to his place for a year."

Speaking of which, Mr. Chen has also seen: "The little prince can open a hundred stone strong bow. I have a classmate under his account, saying that the old prince loves his son the most. Now the little prince is in charge of everything. In his spare time, the old prince just plays around."

The breeze outside the pavilion is blowing gently, and there are fireflies flying in it. The two of them were relaxed and happy, and the servants retreated far away and spoke more casually.

"Premary Zhang frequently recommbled two years ago, saying that several princes should reduce their troops, but there have been few border wars in recent years." Mr. Chen casually commented on this matter.

Chu Huaixian disagrees: "There are no poor soldiers, Guizhou and martial arts, saying that the reduction of troops and horses; the annual expenditure of the Ministry of War does not exceed, and Zhang Cheng's fault is not good."

Mr. Chen smiled. Chu Huaixian was a man of both literature and martial arts. If it hadn't been for the noble son and Lord Chu, he would have joined the army.

"The second master usually talks a lot, but he pushes away from Prime Minister Zhang." Mr. Chen mentioned the second master Chu. Chu Huaixian showed it on the sun, and then told Mr. Chen: "Xiaochu's girl has a strong mouth. Take her back to Beijing to say a few words in front of her second uncle. I think about it."

"The prince is not thoughtful. A country girl is a little presumptuous when she knows that the prince likes her. If you go back to Beijing and offend the second master, the family can tolerate her. Mr. Chen made fun of him.

Chu Huaixian was slightly happy: "With me, stay in our house without a few words."

"Since she is speechless, it's better to let her come and wait for him now. Let her fan the prince. It's also good to pour a glass of white water for the person she likes." Mr. Chen came up with this idea just for fun.

More than ten steps outside the pavilion, standing in the summer and Xi'er. Chu Huaixian was not surprised that there was no Lin Xiaochu. She thought that the girl around the prince was good and let her know that she could not come up easily.

"I told her to wait in the evening. I thought she was stopped in the room. I was drinking happily today. I don't want to argue. Let's talk about it tomorrow." In this light wind and clear moon, Chu Huaixian continued to have fun with Mr. Chen.

Lin Xiaochu and Lotus are still wiping the floor. They have wiped before eating, and after eating. From the inside of the room to the outside of the room, and then to the corridor; from the railings to the pillars to the table and bench in the room should be wiped clean.

The sweaty lotus straightened up: "Oh, my God, it's finally finished." Lin Xiaochu was also very tired. He simply sat on the ground and rested for a while. His hair was half dry and no longer dripping water. His forehead was full of sweat, but sweat dripped to the ground.

The lotus dried the sweat on her body and looked at the ground with the candlelight on the case: "It's quite clean, Xiaochu, it's good for you to come. I used to wipe the floor alone, which made me very tired. If you have to do something else, it's really not easy to wait.

Two people carried a basin and took the cloth that wiped the floor to wash in the back pool, washing and talking.

"Who else is in the yard?" In front of a moon under the blue water, Lin Xiaochu remembered Xiaoyi. The fifth aunt was really kind-hearted and said that she would help tell Xiaoyi. And the prince, he said that he would ask someone to pick up Xiaoyi every two days. Speaking of which, you can't blame the prince for being affectionate. He really saved himself.

Although Lin Xiaochu was tired of being enslaved by the girl, he worked sincerely. No matter how hard and tired you are, it's better than staying at Sun Erhai's house tonight.

Lotus, who came two days earlier, couldn't ask this question and felt that he knew better than Lin Xiaochu, so he said, "There are so many people in this family. I haven't been out of this courtyard yet. In our yard, in addition to the prince, there are four of us, and there are also four rough mothers, but after I came, I cleaned the land, and I didn't clean it well.

Lin Xiaochu's style of staying in spring and staying in summer is like a prisoner going to the lobby. First, he came to kill 100 people and wringed the floor cloth in his hand. Lin Xiaochu then asked the bitter-faced lotus flower: "What else is there besides sweeping the floor?"

"What we do is to sweep the floor, wipe the floor, lift water, and wash clothes for our sisters. The prince asked for tea and water, changed birds to feed, picked flowers and burned incense, which is not what we did. The lotus looked at the sparkling water: "When I first came, I was asked to pour tea. I dropped many cups, so I couldn't pour them anymore."

Lin Xiaochu raised his vigilance: "Did you drop the cup?" Lotus is a teenage girl, not a few years old. Lotus still couldn't figure out what was going on. She nodded and said, "I don't know if the cup fell in my hand." I still have a lingering heart when I think about it.

"Are you too nervous?" Lin Xiaochu understood a little.

"Yes, my hands trembled when I thought about sending tea to the prince. My sisters scolded me at this time, and I couldn't hold the cup." Lotus lowered her head and said sadly, "For good, I don't deduct the monthly money, otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

He came out of the shadow of the tree and scolded: "Two lazy hoofs are just rubbing here. The prince came back and asked for water to take a shower. Go to the door of the courtyard and wait. When the hot water comes, pick it up and put it in the porch.

The lotus was so scared that she stood up and bowed: "I know, sister." Liuxia crossed his waist and said fiercely, "Wash your hands with fragrant pancreas before you go. Hurry up."

Lin Xiaochu, who was sitting by the water, smiled and asked us to go quickly or clean our hands first. They are all in a hurry to fry each other.

Chu Huaixian said that Lin Xiaochu was a messenger at night. Of course, he was a messenger in front of himself. They can't talk about changing the concept of staying in spring and summer. They also let Lin Xiaochu be busy and busy. It takes some time for the new girl to learn the rules, and she feels that the prince can also ask.

Chu Huaixian, who took a shower, went to bed after walking in the courtyard before going to bed. He changed into a moonlight shirt and stood in the porch to order the lotus curtain: "I want to go, you come with me."

Lotus was flattered, nervous to eat and agree, and followed Chu Huaixian out of the yard. Lin Xiaochu, who turned around the corridor, listened to Liuchun and Liuxia and curled his lips: "This is going up again. It's not good to serve tomorrow. It's better to find a meal and beat him."

In a blink of an eye, I saw Lin Xiaochu, and Liuchun hated it: "It's getting late. Go to bed. You don't have to wait for the lotus flower. She has to serve the prince." Liuxia also chased Xiaochu away. When Xiaochu didn't see him, he was even more disgusted: "If this one stands in front of the prince again, I'm afraid he will go up." It's good to let her go back. Anyway, it's not early.

On the waterside outside the courtyard, Chu Huaixian and Hehua were talking: "You have to tell me what Xiaochu says in the future. Whether she said it in person or behind her back, I need to know."

Lotus really didn't go through such a battle. She thought she would come to be a messenger and follow his instructions. She didn't expect to be bullied first. Today, the prince asked her to be a small traitor, only staring at Lin Xiaochu.

"You two are neighbors and are always more familiar than others. To tell you, you serve well, and you will follow Xiaochu in the future, which is also a good way to take care of you and a familiar person." Chu Huaixian looked at the lotus. This girl was really stupid. How could she raise two kinds of people with the same water?

Of course, Lotus can't understand and serves well. In the future, she will be Lin Xiaochu's girl. She really thought that the prince was taking care of him and saluted happily: "I listened to the prince. I came to tell him what Xiaochu said."

"You only told me, don't tell Lin Xiaochu." Chu Huaixian's voice was slowly harsh: "If you show the wind, I'm not polite!"
