Chapter 42, they all feel that there is not enough money
After a few days of sailing, the fragrance can get up. Zhu Niang, Lotus and Xiaoyi were moved to tears by her and came to accompany her. Zhu Niang was afraid and said, "Fortunately, there is wind and cold medicine on the ship. Otherwise, if the weather is cold, you jump into the water, and there is no life."
At that time, after changing her clothes, she sat close to the brazier, drank bowl by bowl of ginger soup, and drank a lot of medicine. She was in good body, so it was the same. She couldn't help looking out: "You all came to see me. Is Miss Xiaochu serving beside the prince?"
"Don't think about the prince. Mr. Liang told me that Mr. Chu did not recognize that he helped you. Mr. Chu himself said that Mr. Liang saved you, which had nothing to do with him. This prince is hiding from you." Zhu Niang told the fragrance truthfully.
The fragrance was not too sad, but just smiled: "I asked casually. Seeing that you all came and the little girl didn't come, I also knew that the prince would definitely hide from me."
"It's two different things for Xiaochu not to come and the prince to hide from you." Zhu Niang doesn't think it's a thing, fragrant or smiles, and Fangxin feels that this is actually a person's mind. Whether Mr. Chu likes it or not, he succeeded in jumping into the river this time. Aroma took out the silver bag from under the pillow and opened it to Zhu Niang: "There are still fifty taels of silver and a few pieces of jewelry. I'm a free man."
Zhu Niang is not optimistic about the money in her hand: "Jingzhong Migui, how long will your money last? Don't do it again..." Zhu Niang said this and wanted to say a word, but felt that she was following Liang Longzheng, but in fact, she had no identity. At best, it's only a little better than fragrance, but not as many men as she has ever had.
"I'll show you the money to ask you for advice. What's your plan to go to Kyoto? The fragrance said that the pearl girl looked dim. After a while, she took out a silver bag close to her body and opened it. It was also 50 taels inside. She took it over and showed it to the fragrance: "This is what I have accumulated over the years, and that's all. Since you have an idea, I will buy it as soon as I hear it.
Zhu Niang is not sad. Liang Long is saying that as long as he gives birth to a boy, the Liang family will promise him to accept the house. What if it's not a boy? Zhu Niang felt that her future was dark. Although she was not extremely smart or stupid, she was always trying to find a way out.
"Now ask me for an idea, which is to do business. What to do, this is silver, which can only be determined after being seen in Beijing. Where do you live in Beijing? Tell me your address and I'll come to you when I settle down. Of course, it's happy to see one more partner.
There were footsteps outside the cabin. The two quickly stopped talking. Jin Xier appeared outside the cabin and saw the fragrance sitting neatly on the bedding, so she said, "You can get up. I'll call you to talk."
Although the fragrance has no hope for Chu Huaixian, it has also been heavily powdered. The clothes are only replaced, or lotus clothes. That is, the powder is taken out by Zhu Niang. People who are used to cleaning up dress up and come to see Chu Huaixian.
Chu Huaixian is very cold: "I want to tell you a few words. I have to take you with me and get off the boat in Beijing. Your search for your relatives has nothing to do with me.
She saluted fragrantly and respectfully and said carefully, "That's the kindness of the prince's life-saving and recreation, and my concubine is unforgettable. The prince is a very kind person. If the concubine is affected by Qingming, she can't make up for it.
"If you know something, it's not in vain for Mr. Liang to save you." Chu Huaixian is agile and doesn't like to use such means, but he stands upright and has sympathy in his heart, so he can only show it. Many women in the brothel have been abducted and sold here. The fragrance is smart. They can get rid of the sea of suffering and no longer be squeezed by the old woman. Chu Huaixian can sympathize with her suffering, but he can't tolerate the way she sticks to herself. When I heard that Aroma can get up, I told her what I wanted to say.
Leave the prince's cabin and go back with a wry smile. In her heart, of course, she also thought that the prince would pity him and help him more. Now that he came out, he stood on the deck for a while, and Xiaoyi in pink clothes watched the people on the boat fish every day. Fangxiang said a few words with Xiaoyi and came to find Xiaochu. Miss Lin didn't come to see herself. Did she look down on herself?
Everyone's maidservant is so arrogant that Xiang decided to meet her. The road to Beijing is difficult, and the prince can't wear it anymore. Is it so difficult for this girl to talk?
Xiaochu embroidered in the room and heard the outside: "Is Xiaochu girl in there?" This voice is very strange. When I went back, what came in was the fragrance of a smile.
"Sister, this is a fragrant sister." Xiaoyi ran in from the outside and said the last sentence. I poured hot tea from the table and went out to play again. Xiaochu's face was slightly dark, and everyone called her sister. This was a "polite" name with Zhu Niang and Lotus.
Looking at the fragrance in his eyes, he stood stiffly, and his eyes thought about his little original intention. He smiled and said, "I'm here to thank the people who work on this boat."
"Girl, please sit down. I'll pour tea for you." Xiaochu smiled and came to the hotel to pour tea. The fragrance came over to see Xiaochu's embroidery and praised two words: "Flowers are like living, and birds seem to fly."
Pouring fragrant tea from the warm cover, Xiaochu snickered and came over with a white porcelain tea cup: "I only learned for a month." The fragrant words came out and said exaggeratedly, "Really? I can't believe it. When will this be embroidered? I want to do business in Beijing, and I can collect this in the shop for consignment.
Of course, Xiaochu was stunned. She planned to settle down and become a girl in Beijing. But there is no famine in his hand. Xiaochu thought about it many times and found something to make money.
"The girl is in the Chu family, of course she will not be short of money. But who would think it's less money? That's it. If you embroider it for me, I'll sell it for money, and you can give me a commission." A few more words came out of the fragrance, hitting the small original intention.
Xiaochu was much more polite: "The fragrant girl decided to do this business?" The fragrant private silver is always on my body, take it out for Xiaochu to see it again, and say it again: "Girl, please buy a gouache and rouge in the future. Please take care of my business. If you bring it to someone else, bring a box and I'll give you some money.
Xiaochu was stunned and didn't want to have a good idea. How many maids will there be in the Chu family? Just a dozen of what your mother said, plus in the old lady's room, in Master Chu's room, Master Chu Er, Master Chu San... Looking around, a piece of money.
"Okay, where is your shop? Leave me an address."
The fragrance takes no effort to talk and laugh with Xiaochu. Xiaochu has 80 taels of silver on his body. She sold fifty taels of silver and thirty taels of silver. If the fragrance is familiar with people, Xiaochu is also willing to invest in individual stocks. This idea has been turned around several times, but the cautious Xiaochu still didn't say anything. The fragrance is beautiful, and you may also go back to your old business in Beijing. But Xiaochu recognized her idea!
It didn't take long for the fragrance to go back. Xiaoyi came in to write in the afternoon, and no one in the cabin asked her sister, "Don't you like the fragrant sister?" Lin Xiaochu said with a straight face: "Call me a girl in the future." Xiaoyi is not a scholar's daughter, and no one has taught her chastity since she was a child. Xiaochu wants to correct her: "You don't want a name for people who are familiar with Zhu Niang and Lotus."
I don't seem to understand it, but I know that my sister doesn't like it. Just like writing, my sister doesn't like it if she doesn't write. After writing a few words, Xiaoyi secretly looked at her sister. Sister Lotus also said that she was not good at writing and said that the woman was not good at reading. Xiaoyi peeked at it and continued to write his own words.
After dinner, Chu Huaixian and Liang Long were bored on the deck, and both of them paced leisurely in mink. The wind blew over and explained: "... Rich and noble can't**, poor and cheap can't move..."
"Brother Huaixian, you are still a first-class maidservant of Kang Chengwen," Liang Long was laughing, and Chu Huaixian also came to the spirit: "Let's go and listen to her understands."
Pull out the modern people around you and ask them one by one. How many people can read traditional Chinese books in ancient Chinese? That is, there are not many people who have a good history. Xiaochu's impression of fragrance has changed greatly, but he still doesn't want Xiaoyi to be so close to people. She said a few poor ancient words in her stomach, and then she couldn't do it.
The two princes just laughed, and the wind on the deck was enough to return to the cabin. Liang Longzheng is quite interested: "This maidservant can wash the pen with Yanmo." Chu Huaixian then smiled and said, "It depends on whether it can be taught or not?"
Lin Xiaochu, who didn't know how to teach Xiaoyi to let the princes listen, frowned and thought bitterly, "Xiaoyi, my sister can only say these words. You can't be delayed when you go to Beijing. It's good for you to go to school.
The lotus is funny: "If you are a young lady, then you can go to school. Learning is also the biography of martyrs. These chaste women can be heard in the countryside. Only when the ladies have too much money can they ask their husbands for advice. Lin Xiaoyi also felt that it was unnecessary and grinned.
Lin Xiaochu told them that this has never played the piano to the cow, and the lotus can only be a joke. The moonlight came through the window, and the lotus fell asleep again. Only modern people are young, and they are thinking about why they should not be blind.
It's already late at night, and you can hear more movement when your ears are on the bed. There was a fine sound of footsteps on the boat, which made Lin Xiaochu unable to sleep. She muttered, "You don't have to keep walking on the deck when sailing at night." As soon as the words fell, a few dark shadows flashed on the window. Xiaochu widened his eyes in surprise and felt that his heart jumped out.
The dark shadows flashing from the window outside are all masked people in black. The window itself is high, and I can only see the head covered, but I can't see whether there is a knife in my hand.
"There is a thief!" The earth-shaking scream sounded, which shocked Lin Xiaochu himself first. She didn't expect that she could make such a sad and terrible sound! The only blessing is that I'm afraid of Xiaoyi and holding Xiaoyi in advance. It was Lotus who was scared. She woke up with a thrill and heard Xiaochu urging urgently: "There is a thief on the boat, scream!"
What is harsher than the screams of a woman is the screams of two women! Chu Huaixian, who slept in **, woke up with Jin Xier, who was sleeping on the ground. The first thing was not to wear clothes. The master and servant grabbed the long sword on the pillow together...
