Chapter 288, Stealing Things
On the small red-painted table, there was a fragrant dinner. Xiaochu looked at a bowl of tender cucumber ham and egg soup. From time to time, Mrs. Wen and a pile of scattered rice appeared in the soup.
"What's the matter?" Chu Huaixian knocked on Xiaochu's hand with the chopsticks in his hand. Xiaochu woke up, looked at him, and lowered his head to take a sip of soup. There was no heat at all.
Chu Huaixian happened to ask, "Is it cold?" Xiaochu took another sip before answering, "It's cold," Chu Huaixian put down his chopsticks and said to the waiter in front of the bed, "Change a bowl." Xiaochu stared at him, protected the bowl in his hands with both hands, and stubbornly said, "Don't change it. This can drink."
"You're still sick," Chu Huaixian suddenly remembered: "Did you go out in the morning?" Xiaochu smiled and said, "I'm out, but let's talk about it after I eat." Thinking of Mrs. Lin's tearful face, Xiaochu couldn't eat it.
Seeing the girl coming to change the soup, Xiaochu came up again: "No need to change! There are still people who haven't eaten. The girl was embarrassed. Chu Huaixian said leisurely, "You don't have to mention it to me if you haven't eaten. You'd better change your bowl of soup. If you are not well ill, don't shout at me for headache and fever.
Xiaochu said, "I won't shout at you. I won't change this bowl of soup. It's not good, and it's not that I can't drink it." Pick up a piece of cucumber with chopsticks and ask Chu Huaixian, "It's only February. You definitely don't know how much a cucumber is." Chu Huaixian looked ignorant: "I don't know anything. I know that if you catch a cold again, I will be rude to you."
"Go and be polite with the wind outside," Xiaochu couldn't help laughing: "I can't be better at being fierce to me. If you don't let the wind outside blow, I won't catch a cold."
Chu Huaixian stretched out his hand and said, "Let me drink this soup. All right? When will you be commended if you are so worried about the country and the people?" Xiaochu leisurely: "When will you report it to me?"
The two laughed at each other and ate separately.
The next day, Gong Miaoer asked Xiaochu to come out and take her to see the house. On the way, he kept talking: "Traveling everywhere on March 3rd, do you want to help?" Xiaochu laughed at him: "If I don't help, you won't get a business?" Gong Miaoer is going to scold: "Look at the hairpin on your head, you don't lack money, do you?"
The house I went to see was a floor on the street, and there was a residence in the back. Four or five people followed by the house economy. Xiaochu first said to Gong Miaoer, "How much is this house?" Gong Miaoer asked her to look first: "Let's go in and have a look."
The two-story wooden building in front is strong and looks like it has passed through the wind and rain. Looking back, the garden is not too big, and it is a little stingling. Xiaochu frowned at the tall buildings on both sides: "Block the sun, wind and rain, wind and water," in short, everything was blocked. Gong Miaoer muttered, "After this village, there is no store. This garden has not been cleaned up, so it's only 4,600 taels of silver, and I can clean it up myself. I'll pack it up cheaply and charge you at most half."
"If you still charge half of it, can't you give it to me?" Xiaochu also muttered to himself and turned his head to look at the peach and apricot tree in the weeds. Gong Miaoer turned her back and looked sideways at the weed on the other side: "Then 30%."
The accompanying economy couldn't understand what they were talking about. Seeing that these two people were looking at each other, they were busy talking: "This is an old garden, so it's so cheap. Look at the business people on both sides. How convenient it is to have a wine and food." Xiaochu looked carefully and was still dissatisfied with both sides: "The two sides are either noisy or not quiet. It's good that they can be dismantled."
The economy was shocked: "This grandma speaks really well. If it's someone else's family, you can make them move away with a few more money. Anyway, the business is not particularly booming. There are only a few people a day." Gong Miaoer is funny: "There are antique shops on both sides. It's impossible to come like a small restaurant for a day."
Xiaochu listened to his funny words and said with a smile, "Whose family is this?" Before the economy spoke, Gong Miaoer coughed repeatedly. Xiaochu looked at him and said, "This side is the Zheng family's antique shop and restaurant, and this side is the Qian family's restaurant." Xiaochu no longer asked. After coughing, Gong Miaoer asked more, "Which Zheng family?" Xiaochu stared at him, needless to say so clearly.
After seeing the house come out, Gong Miaoer invited Xiaochu to go home first. Taoer made tea. The two sat down at the wooden table in the yard and said, "You said less than 4,000 taels of silver. It should be good and clever. This is the most suitable one."
Xiaochu said bluntly, "I only have more than 3,000 taels," Gong Miaoer opened her mouth exaggeratedly: "If you don't have money, can you ask me to help you look at it?" Xiaochu hit each other: "I told you less than 4,000 taels. How did you show me? They are all more than 4,000 taels." Gong Miaoer smiled evilly: "Cousin, no matter what you do, I will share with you." A pat on the chest: "Cousin will help you."
"I'm close to Taoer. It's nothing to do with you," Xiaochu rolled his eyes and shouted again, "Taoer Taoer, when you get married, your eyes must be brighter." Tao'er stretched out her head from the kitchen and smiled, and then shrank back.
In fact, Xiaochu likes that house very much: "Let's leave it first. Maybe let their family wait for me." Gong Miaoer couldn't help it: "I can lend you everything," Xiaochu didn't do it: "I just don't want to partner with others anymore." Gong Miaoer sneered: "The sparrow turns into a phoenix. If you insert a feather, you won't recognize anyone."
The two of them collapsed when the house partnered again. Xiaochu was distracted for a while and asked Gong Miaoer, "There is something difficult for you to help me make an idea." Gong Miaoer raised her head and said, "No matter what, there is nothing wrong with asking my cousin." Xiaochu shut up: "I won't ask anymore."
Until Taoer came out to change tea, Taoer asked Xiaochu, "What's the dilemma?" Xiaochu asked Taoer, "There is something wrong. I don't know if I should speak for her." Gong Miaoer sneered beside him: "I'm also wronged." Xiaochu suddenly turned around and said, "Are you wronged by King Liang?"
Speaking out, the three people don't talk together. Xiaochu whispered again, "What's wrong with you?" Gong Miaoer counted one finger by one to listen to Xiaochu: "March 3, He Jiazi picked up the princess's driving spring. Do you want this account? And..." Lin Xiaochu said, "Stop! This has nothing to do with me."
"Then what did you say about the injustice?" Taoer was concerned: "Our family has been wronged for a long time. Hearing this kind of thing, I hope you can help."
Xiaochu frowned, looked at Gong Miaoer, who looked east and west, and then said to Taoer, "So I'm here to ask you. I can't make up my mind. I don't know if it's a big deal."
"Thank you for your lack of money?" Gong Miao'er said sarcastic words.
Xiaochu looked angrily: "No, I don't have a penny!"
"Then do you think there is no mercy?" Gong Miaoer continued to sarcastically.
Xiaochu glanced at him: "What kind of favor did you use to return me? Put Xiaoyi down?"
Only Tao'er spoke righteously: "What's wrong?" Xiaochu smiled and said, "I'm not sure yet." Gong Miaoer sneered: "The sparrow turns into a phoenix, be careful about everything. There are many scammers on the street, and there are so many bun tears to cheat a bun's money.
Xiaochu sighed: "Yes, I think so too." Gong Miaoer began to look angry: "I'm talking to myself, who is talking to you!"
Lin Xiaochu was completely annoyed and began to wow at Gong Miaoer: "I can't figure out whether she is wronged or not. If I can figure it out, I can decide whether to help or not." Gong Miaoer said cunningly, "Can this embarrass you?" Lin Xiaochu collapsed and said, "I'm afraid that it's not worth it. I'll be laughed at." Gong Miaoer scolded: "I won't laugh at you. I just think of it as your handle in the future. In addition to me, by the way, there are also princes who want to laugh at you." Xiaochu was listless: "That's him."
Mrs. Chu, who was born as a poor woman, was taken away by the half of the bag of rice dropped by Mrs. Wen.
I came back early and went to Chu Huaixian's study. Chu Huaixian didn't look too happy: "Go out again? Is it good to go to other people's homes every day?
Xiaochu looked at his bookcase, looked through a pile of official documents, and then went to look through another pile. Chu Huaixian only looked at: "Who will be a spy?" Xiaochu smiled sweetly: "I'll just take a look." Chu Huaixian stopped his waist and held Xiaochu in his arms: "Don't turn around. What do you want to ask? Ask me." Xiaochu has picked up an official document in his hand and picked it up and asked Chu Huaixian, "What kind of document is this?" Chu Huaixian is very simple: "The official document."
From the beginning to the end, Xiaochu put it down. Thinking of Chu Huaixian's question just now, he smiled at him and said, "I won't go out more if I'm tired of you." Chu Huaixian said, "Thank God, don't go out. How tired I am? You can thank me." Xiaochu stroked the buckle on Chu Huaixian's clothes and said, "How can I be embarrassed to beat the woman so hard?"
Chu Huaixian stroked Xiaochu's fingers without saying anything. Xiaochu raised his eyes and asked him, "Don't you admit that you have confessed it?" Chu Huaixian said, "Acknowledge, how can you not admit it? It's the punishment I'm waiting for." He laughed badly and said slowly, "Do you know what the punishments are in the government?" Xiaochu is still quiet: "Just play with them for me?" Just for this?"
"No." Chu Huaixian kissed Xiaochu's finger and then put it on his lips and bit it gently: "Teacher Fang asked me to do it." Xiaochu hugged Chu Huaixian's head and neck and said sullenly, "Others can let you do this or that. I can't say a serious word or make a joke."
When he came back from the study, Xiaochu asked people to go out, opened his suitcase alone in the room, and took out an official document from it. This is the official document of Lord Wen's appeal. Xiaochu has seen all the traditional Chinese characters above, but she doesn't know if the format is right or not. After reading it from the study, Xiaochu was stunned at this official document again: "The person who wants to be an official should not be wrong."
Whether it's wrong or not, Miss Chu's heart moved by a few grains of rice can't be taken back.
Releashed the official document, and Mrs. Chu went to the window to see the newly issued peony seedlings.
After waiting for a day, I went to the study in the morning and in the afternoon. Chu Huaixian was there and joked, "Do you miss me so much?" Xiaochu went out with a few words. Coming back to the study two days later, Chu Huaixian finally went out. Xiaochu told Jin Xier to find a book, sent Jin Xier away, opened the official document on the case, and put the one in his arms.
After putting it in, my heart still beats. When Jin Xier came over, she gave her a ghost fox book that Xiaochu wanted, and then joked, "You can read books now. Do you read books in the science field?" Xiaochu had just done something and didn't have time to joke with him. He just took the book and left.
At night, Chu Huaixian came back as if nothing had happened. He talked and laughed with Xiaochu for a while until he went to bed and didn't say anything. The next day, Mrs. Guan was anxious and came to wait for the letter. Xiaochu said honestly, "I gave the official document to the prince. I don't know what he will do." Mrs. Chu dropped a small flower gun here. She gave it, but she didn't give it to Chu Huaixian in person. Why didn't she tell a lie and hand it in face to face? Of course, it's because the official's wife will laugh at herself, and Mr. Chu is afraid that he will find something for himself. Now how the official document appeared on the bookcase, Xiaochu thought outside the window, I don't know, I don't know anything.
