Chapter 27, there's nothing we can do
In summer, the windows are half-open. The night wind blew in, and there was a gauze cover outside the candle, but the gauze on the gauze cover shook gently. Lin Xiaochu's figure looked a little lonely under the light of this light candle.
"Didn't you eat?" When Chu Huaixian asked, he also felt that he was nonsense and had been locked in the room since the morning. Seeing Lin Xiaochu nodding, he was very well-behaved at this moment.
Point to the table, where there is a plate of food. Chu Huaixian pointed to the tea bowl again: "Come back to me when you are full and let me listen to what else you can say."
Lin Xiaochu, who sat down to eat, took this time to think about his mind. After eating, I also finished thinking about it. After packing up and washing my hands, Lin Xiaochu spoke more fluently and admitted his mistake first: "I shouldn't have pressed them with the prince, but they always don't like me."
Chu Huaixian, who leaned against the bed tent, looked over with dark eyes: "We agreed to stay by yourself. I've helped you more than once. You still don't want to be a girl. Now look, it's harder to be a girl in my house than you selling flowers, isn't it?
Lin Xiaochu didn't say anything, holding each other's hands and only looked at his skirt.
"In addition, the sisters in the room have taught me a lesson. How are they? After all, they are big girls who come before you. If it's not good, you come to tell me, how can you bully them on your own initiative? Speaking of this, Chu Huaixian was angry: "Be bold!"
To put it, it's for Lin Xiaochu to make noise in the prince's room behind his back and make his own decisions. First, use me as the person Mr. Chu likes to suppress people, and then try to make friends. Chu Huaixian was angry about this. I took you in. How should I listen to me? Now I'm oppressing people and you, this is still the same for you; if I really praise you, I'm afraid that you can run rampant at home in my name. If I'm a confused person, I don't know if I'm still covered by you.
Lin Xiaochu can figure it out tonight. Although it is not comprehensive, he can also hear it clearly. She has nothing to say.
"Would you like to be punished?" Chu Huaixian asked again.
Lin Xiaochu did not hesitate: "I am willing to fight,"
"Why?" Chu Huaixian smiled, and the thin body in front of the bed could withstand a few beatings. Lin Xiaochu replied, "I can't afford to pay the penalty. I still owe money to the prince."
"It's true, but you can't afford to be beaten." Chu Huaixian should not think about this today. When people entered his own house in Beijing, Chu Huaixian saw that the little girls could not do well when they first came here, and the older mothers and sisters were going to beat and scold them. Only Lin Xiaochu has to beat others.
In the candle shadow shaking red, Lin Xiaochu's body trembled slightly and then asked in a low voice: "How much? If you can hold on, you are still willing to fight. I can't owe anything more."
Chu Huaixian smiled and said, "If you hit ten boards, you will have to sleep for half a month. Forget it. If you owe this fight, if you make a mistake in the future, we will punish you together. Mr. Chu has no hobby of beating people. He is raising Lin Xiaochu in the eyes of the girls. Of course, he refuses to beat her easily.
"Thank you, prince, do I have something to ask for?" Lin Xiaochu held each other's hands and raised his eyes without worry.
"What's the matter?"
"My sister Xiaoyi begged the prince to take him in. She can't do it. Please ask the prince for her kindness and let her go back to her relatives' house. Lin Xiaochu wanted to take Xiaoyi from Beijing together. Now let's take a look. Xiaoyi will stay here for a few more days. I don't know how many beatings he will be beaten. The two maids are so rampant that I'm afraid that Beijing is full of female tigers. Xiaochu thought that it would be easier for him to leave.
Chu Huaixian tilted back on the pillow: "Don't worry, you want to go to Beijing with me and throw her down?" It's not just for Lin Xiaoyi that this happened today. If you change another girl and let Liu Xia play twice, it will be fine.
"Xiaoyi is clumsy. Let her go back to her relatives' house." Lin Xiaochu was sad when he thought about it today and said, "Please give me another two days off. I'll send her to my relatives' house."
Chu Huaixian spoke again and said sincerely: "Of course, she is not familiar with it when she first came here. The girl at home came here like this, and these two came here when they were first. It's better to be a girl in my family than to be a lady in a poor family. It's just that these two people can't tell you the difference. Think about it again?"
Two tears slipped over Lin Xiaochu's face. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and choked, "I know, let Xiaoyi go back. This is not suitable for her." There is a saying that it is better to marry a big maidservant than a small daughter. Lin Xiaochu shouted in his heart, and I know I know all about it. It's just a few months ahead, how can you stand it?
"It's a pity that you love your sister and teach her to read every day." Chu Huaixian picked up his silk handkerchief beside the pillow, handed Lin Xiaochu to wipe his tears, and comforted her, "Since you want to do this, go out in a few days. It's a lot of heat these days, so it's not good to go out for heatstroke.
Lin Xiaochu, who took over Sipa, wiped his tears and cried softly. The wind blew up her shirt, and it was even more touching under the candle. Chu Huaixian smiled and said, "Don't cry. In the past few days, you have changed your mind and told me that I would keep her."
When Lin Xiaochu agreed again, Chu Huaixian said gently, "Go to bed. Don't let me hear you cry again." Lin Xiaochu, who returned to his **, has been exposed by tears in recent days. In fact, he wants to cry. It was only when the prince said that she covered her mouth with a veil and was calm that she saw that the silk handkerchief was the prince.
Lin Xiaochu immediately blushed, and the silk handkerchief by the prince's pillow. He drank tea and wiped his lips. And I kept covering my mouth to stop my tears. Take a peek at Chu Huaixian, lying calmly, with his hands on his chest, as if he had fallen asleep.
I slept well all night. Recently, Lin Xiaochu opened the door. She always opened the door to avoid the embarrassment of Chu Huaixian changing clothes. Fortunately, the young man did not need the girls to help her update her clothes. Chu Huaixian straightened his clothes in the room, smiling and thinking that Lin Xiaochu was always avoiding, which was also very cute.
If you change another girl, you will come here.
With a babbling sound at the door, Lin Xiaochu exclaimed, "Xiaoyi," Lin Xiaoyi ran in crying and came in. When he came in, he knelt down in front of Chu Huaixian: "It's my fault. Don't hit my sister."
Chu Huaixian, who didn't wear a good coat, became embarrassed. Quickly cover your clothes, and Lin Xiaochu also came in: "Xiaoyi, my sister is fine."
Because the door opened, Liuchun and Xia also came in. I don't understand what the two sisters are going to do.
"Xiaoyi, get up," Chu Huaixian looked at a red mark on Lin Xiaoyi's face, and felt that staying in spring and summer was annoying. If Mr. Chu saw the girl in the room being beaten in Beijing, he would definitely not think so. A few days after Lin Xiaoyi came, Chu Huaixian regarded her as a small trick and had nothing to amuse. It's really pitiful to see Lin Xiaoyi's tears flowing through his face.
Lin Xiaoyi's eyes were full of tears and she carried her heart all night. Early in the morning, she waited outside the door to open and came in to plead with her sister. Lin Xiaochu smiled and shook his head again: "Look at my sister, is it okay?"
"Well, thank you, Mr.," Lin Xiaoyi still kowtowed a few times to Mr. Chu before he got up and leaned on his sister and said timidly, "If you want to fight, hit me."
Mr. Chu laughed, which is really sisterly affectionate. He told Lin Xiaoyi, "It's okay. Be careful in the future." Look at Lin Xiaochu again: "Don't touch anything that your sisters can't move."
This matter was gently let go. Lin Xiaochu took Lin Xiaoyi back to the room. Chu Huaixian washed and had breakfast. Today, he was reading in the room.
Looking at the shadow outside the bamboo curtain outside the room, it was Lin Xiaoyi who stretched out his head. Chu Huaixian waved her in to relieve his boredom: "What are you doing today?"
"I help Sister Lotus wash things," Lin Xiaoyi still came in timidly, and there was no one else in the room. She came forward and knelt down: "Please don't chase me away. I want to be with my sister. I won't fall again."
It turned out that this was for this. Chu Huaixian was a little moved. This child was too sensible. The young masters and girls who are indulgent in their relatives are heaven and earth.
"It's your sister who asked you to leave. If you are willing to stay, I promise."
Lin Xiaoyi got this sentence. After thanking him, he went to Lin Xiaochu and told her, "The prince said he won't let me go." Lin Xiaochu smiled and said, "Listen to your sister."
A few days later, Lin Xiao** was on duty again. Chu Huaixian asked her, "Does your sister still stay?"
"Don't stay," Lin Xiaochu insisted. Chu Huaixian didn't say much, but said, "I'll just go to the place you mentioned the day after tomorrow. Take you there casually. You have to send her in person, so that you can explain it to your relatives."
Lin Xiaochu is grateful. He was lucky to meet such an ancient man. Good luck is good luck, and Lin Xiaochu will not be polite. When she has a chance to leave, her idea is still to go.
One day later, Jin Xier let people set up a carriage early in the morning. He and Chu Huaixian were riding horses. Sister Lin Xiaochu got on the carriage and came to the market town where her sister lived together.
Huang Cancan's crops can be seen in the field on the road. Lin Xiaochu hugged Lin Xiaoyi, told her what she said, and pointed to the road to see the scenery.
My sister came here to say hello, and there was a fifth aunt. The fifth aunt also made an appointment to send the money for selling the house today. Lin Xiaochu plans to thank his fifth aunt for some money.
When the carriage entered the mouth of the market town, Lin Xiaochu poked out his head to invite the prince and said shyly, "I want to go there with Xiaoyi. Their house is narrow, and the prince has nowhere to sit."
Chu Huaixian's friend is here and is impatient to accompany him. He went to the horse and let Jin Xier accompany him. Lin Xiaochu smiled bitterly in the carriage. If my sister asks, what can I say if she goes with the carriage and Jin Xier? When a girl comes home, there are not many people like this.
Sure enough, she stopped the carriage in front of her sister's house. She couldn't believe that she looked at the two people coming out of the carriage: "Xiaochu, Xiaoyi, you, what's going on?"
The fifth aunt, who arrived early without taking the carriage, smiled and couldn't close her mouth: "I said that Xiaochu can eat wherever she goes." Lin Xiaochu can only be embarrassed. This is not good to eat, but there is nothing he can do.
