Chapter 23, Sister Garden
There was a knock on the door, standing with a cold face. Lin Xiaoyi can also see that she is not easy to get along with. Liuxia came to pass on the prince's words: "The prince said that you can take your sister around at home during the day, but don't go out of the second door."
Lin Xiaochu was still polite: "Thank you, sister." Liu Xia walked away without saying a word. Lin Xiaoyi whispered to her sister, "Although she didn't smile on her face, she may not like us in her heart."
"Xiaoyi is right, people are located one and one miles. If you smile at others, others may not laugh at you or make friends with you. Lin Xiaochu stroked Lin Xiaoyi's head and said kindly.
The door was opened by Liu Xia just now, and she definitely won't help close it when she left. The young man said that he would go out for a stroll, and Lin Xiaoyi showed interest in the shade outside. Hearing his sister say this, Lin Xiaoyi nodded as if he didn't understand: "It's like the big yellow dog in the village. He doesn't laugh at it."
Lin Xiaochu, who was so happy, stood up and said, "Xiaoyi is right." When did you hear that a dog would laugh? Xiaochu took Xiaoyi's hand and said, "This yard is fun, and my sister hasn't been around. Today, with the light of small intentions, let's go for a day.
The two sisters did not go out of the front courtyard door. There was a path in the backyard and a backyard door. Out of this courtyard door, I took a shower in the summer shade. Lin Xiaochu took a comfortable breath. At this moment, he took his sister with him, as if he were traveling.
Pony platform, **wu... turned to noon, only a little half. Lin Xiaochu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, which contained a few pieces of snacks wrapped when he came out. She took a piece of rose shortbread and handed it to Lin Xiaoyi: "Eat two pads to make you hungry, and let's go back to eat."
Lin Xiaoyi took a piece and ate it. There was also something in her sleeve, and she took out two fruits. Xiaoyi handed over one, biting a snack in one hand, holding the remaining fruit in the other hand, and looking around: "Sister Lotus gave it to me yesterday, and I'll stay for you. Sister, we can be full with this. Let's not go back and play here for a while.
Lin Xiaochu is also willing to offer this proposal. Does anyone want to and like to work? It should be said that workaholics are not born, but gradually have fun at work. When I went back for dinner at noon, I wanted to see two cold faces. Lin Xiaochu and Lin Xiaoyi sat on the nearest pavilion and ate snacks and fruits.
If you are a little thirsty after eating, you can also endure it. Even if you travel, you can't be hungry or thirsty all the time. Lin Xiaochu, a water-red shirt and a blue skirt, and Lin Xiaoyi, a light yellow shirt and a blue skirt, smiled: "Let's go and continue to play."
Take a few steps and meet the housekeeper Pang. Lin Xiaochu was about to salute. Lin Xiaoyi saluted timidly first: "Good housekeeper Pang." Lin Xiaochu did not feel strange when he showed his polite and humble posture; the small intention around him was also so sensible at a young age, which made Lin Xiao's original intention feel sad.
Pang's housekeeper was polite: "Take your sister to know the way? That's right. Although the girls don't go out of the second door, they should know everywhere in the second door, and it will be convenient to work in the future.
The housekeeper Pang, who stood in place, kindly pointed everywhere: "There are four doors in total, leading to the pulp washing room and all over the kitchen. There are a lot of houses here. When you change houses, you have to remember which door is the closest. In order to prevent the prince from having orders, let him wait.
After sending the housekeeper Pang away, Lin Xiaoyi returned to his innocence and pulled his sister to the forest: "I heard that there is a yellow warbler. Let's take a look." Two more steps, I met two women cutting leaves in the woods. Lin Xiaoyi still went forward to salute without her sister's teaching, and her mouth was sweet: "Good day, moms."
It made the women like it, but only Xiaochu had a strong smile. Taking Lin Xiaoyi away and standing on the small slope, Lin Xiao was ashamed of his original intention. It was he who caused this and sent Xiaoyi to the Chu family as a girl. Think about the past, the two sisters suffered a lot, but all kinds of freedom. Lin Xiaochu didn't want to be so small and become a slave.
The high slope is the grassland spreading and rising. The two sisters in thin shirts sit on it, and people in the distance can see it at a glance. Chu Huaixian looked left and right and walked, and only smiled when he found them.
Without calling them, Chu Huaixian, who was familiar with the road, came around from behind. Not for eavesdropping, but for the shortcut. Two thin backs are one big and one small, talking intimately.
First, Xiaochu's voice: "Xiaoyi, how many words will your sister teach you to read every day in the future?" It's not smart to know how to write, but it's better than not to write.
"Sister, can you read a lot of words?" Lin Xiaoyi nodded and worshiped her sister very much.
Lin Xiaochu smiled bitterly: "I will recognize some," traditional Chinese characters are not easy to recognize, and there is always some simplified Chinese characters. Chu Huaixian didn't expect to hear this. He heard it interestingly, so he stood still and didn't disturb them.
"Sister, I can't read, and I'm also polite. I was courteous to the housekeeper and mother just now. Lin Xiaoyi asked for proof from her sister: "Brother's sister said that you can be a girl. She left me to help sell snacks for her and said that my voice was beautiful, just like my sister. He also said that it's not good for a girl to be beaten. I don't think you will stay in her house. As long as I'm with you, you can go anywhere.
Chu Huaixian felt that the child was really sensible. No wonder the poor child was the head of the family early. Lin Xiaochu was even more sad. He opened his arms and held Lin Xiaoyi in his arms and whispered, "It's my sister who is sorry for you."
The big figure hugged the small one and looked at Chu Huaixian with a smile. At this time, it shocked them like a terrible scenery. Chu Huaixian touched the things in his sleeve, quietly stepped back a few steps, or took a long detour from the front, so that they could see themselves earlier so as not to be frightened.
Thinking like this, as soon as he took a few steps back, Lin Xiaoyi said again: "Sister, I want to learn to read. But how do you teach me? If we don't have paper and pen, will the prince not be allowed to learn?
"The prince? I don't think it will be allowed." Lin Xiaochu guessed Mr. Chu and apologized to Lin Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, I'm sorry, there is no pen and paper at this time, but you see,"
Fold a green branch beside him. Lin Xiaochu wrote the word "Xiaoyi" on the mud in front of him and said with a smile, "This is your name, Xiaoyi."
Xiaoyi clapped his hands and smiled: "That's good." Chu Huaixian, who stepped back a few steps, was a little itchy, and he also wanted to have a look. Chu Huaixian, who made up his mind to come from the front, should change his way. Far away, I waved to my two sisters, which was funny, so I couldn't see the words written by Xiaochu. They came along like butterflies.
"Lost?" Chu Huaixian took out the food from his sleeve, and there were a few snacks inside. The food can't be wrapped in the sleeves, only a few fresh snacks: "Why don't you come back for lunch?"
Lin Xiaoyi rushed to the front and replied, "I'm playing with my sister. I came out with food, and we continued to play." The childish words made Chu Huaixian happy: "That's what a matter of me."
"You are the one who cares about us," Lin Xiaochu took over the words, thanked Xiaoyi and gave it to Chu Huaixian. Chu Huaixian didn't want to: "I've eaten. I thought you couldn't come back. Let me know if you don't come back next time. This garden is big, and there are few people in the courtyard. It's really worrying about you.
No matter how big the yard is, it is just a yard, and you can always meet your family. Lin Xiaochu smiled gratefully at Chu Huaixian. After all, the prince was kind.
Liuchun Liuxia sat under the porch, whispering with needles and fingers. Seeing the prince coming back, he was followed by two sisters who had not been seen all morning. The two girl immediately turned black before they smiled again.
In the afternoon, Lin Xiaochu was working in Chu Huaixian's room. Chu Huaixian said he wanted her to come. When a girl really follows her master's words, she said yesterday that she would play for a day and change her mind after eating two snacks at noon.
A paper ball was thrown on the ground and woke up Lin Xiaochu standing next to him. She tentatively picked it up in her hand and unfolded it to see that it was a good white paper, writing only a few words. Lin Xiaochu used to do this matter, but now she feels sorry.
Chu Huaixian didn't know what to write. He wrote for a while and threw a lot on the ground. Then he looked at the pen in his hand and said, "This pen is bald. It seems to be useless." In Lin Xiaochu's eyes, it is also a good pen.
Lin Xiaochu's eyes lit up, and the achievements here are pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The prince used waste paper, a bald pen, and the last bit of ink ingots, all of which can still be used.
This afternoon, Lin Xiaochu was particularly attentive. Liuchun and Liuxia sat outside, watching her come behind the prince from time to time, stretching out their heads to look at the prince writing, and accidentally saw the prince resting and asking a question. The two maids were furious. After looking at each other, they understood that they could not stand by.
Lin Xiaochu changed the tea again and discussed with Chu Huaixian while he was drinking tea: "Son, can you give me this paper you don't want?"
"Do you learn to write?" Chu Huaixian smiled, and the girl never hit the snake with the stick. Lin Xiaochu whispered, "Yes, if you follow the prince's side, you can learn some truth and go out to tell people how to wait for you, and you won't make people laugh."
When people entered the house, Chu Huaixian couldn't just listen. He slightly sank his face: "Not many girls in my room can read, and women without talent are virtue. If you want to learn, what kind of joke do you have? You will make a fool of yourself tomorrow just to stay in my room. Can't people on the street laugh at me?
Lin Xiaochu, who was too sharp, quickly laughed with him: "You're right." Pingbai owes him a sum of money. He doesn't know if he has a monthly money. If he doesn't give him monthly money, he can't buy a pen and paper by himself. Lin Xiaochu made up his mind not to let Xiaoyi be blind, and he also wanted to learn more ancient Chinese. Mr. Chu wasted it casually. Of course, she wanted to beat him on the snake and beat him to waste things.
When he went back to his room at night, Lin Xiaochu held a pen and some paper, as well as a small stone inkstone and an ink ingot, all of which were new. Lin Xiaoyi was very happy when he saw it. Even the lotus flower also showed jealous eyes. What's the basis of the prince? It's so good for Xiaochu.
