Chapter 58: Do a few more
After the morning, Chen Dabao has not returned. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info there was no firewood at home, so Wang went to the west of the village to collect firewood, and she went there wearing gloves. The family didn't dare to let Chen Afu go alone, there were dense forests and few people, no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't beat a man.
Without the company of Jin Yanzi and others, Chen Afu did not dare to go. She thought that in the future, she would have to pay for firewood, and she would not be able to pretend to be poor like this forever.
The sun is setting, and Chen Dabao has not yet returned. Chen Afu couldn't sit still, she came to the courtyard and looked east with Chen Ming under the tree. In the distance, the old farmers in the rice fields are still busy, and the golden rice has almost been harvested.
Chen Ming sighed, "It's hard to be a big treasure, it's not easy to accompany the nobles, not only to accompany the smiling face, but also not to say the wrong thing." Even those of us adults are worried, not to mention how old he is. ”
Suddenly, two birds appeared in the eastern sky, hovering high in the sky, as if waiting for those who had been left behind. Then I could faintly see a carriage coming towards it, and they seemed to be hovering over it.
When the two birds flew closer and closer, they saw the real big bird, which was Gray Ash.
When they landed in the courtyard, the carriage also came to a stop outside the fence gate, and it was the car driven by Steward Luo himself.
Steward Luo got out of the car and hugged Chen Dabao, who was chasing the wind, down. Another middle-aged woman got out of the car, wrapped in satin and wearing a hosta.
Chen Dabao greeted loudly, "Mother, grandfather, uncle, and sister Yan'er like smiling little swallows very much." ”
Chen Afu went to open the door, and Steward Luo pointed to the woman and said, "This is my son's mother, and my master asked her to bring you a few words." ”
Chen Afu hurriedly smiled at the woman, "Mrs. Luo." ”
He hurriedly invited Steward Luo and his wife into the house. The small fence gate could not get into the carriage, so he opened the gate of the new courtyard and pulled the carriage in.
Steward Luo and his wife took a few satin horses and a package from the carriage and were invited into the Westhouse.
These two people are the most powerful nobles in these villages, and they can't be invited by others.
Chen Ming rushed over to accompany him, Chen Afu served tea, and Chen Dabao brought peanuts and candy for the guests.
Aunt Luo first praised a few words about how Dabao was sensible and how she pleased her master, and said with a smile, "Little Lady Chen is skillful and more ingenious, and the little swallow doll she makes makes my sister like something." He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed a few times, and then said, "Oh my God, this is the first time I've seen a laughing swallow." ”
Steward Luo laughed twice, he had been paying attention to the beautiful little bird in the morning, and felt that the little master of the bird would definitely like it. Which Cheng thought, what really pleases the little master is the cloth doll. Fortunately, let Dabao take it, if you don't bring it according to your own wishes, it will be a mistake.
Aunt Luo pointed to the few satin horses and a small bag of cotton and said, "One doll is not enough, my master means to trouble Mrs. Chen to make a few more, and my sister can also take it to Fucheng to play, and she can also change it." If you can't run out of satin, keep it for your family to make some clothes. ”
Chen Afu was overjoyed, not to mention that so much satin would definitely not be used up, but to say that he could maintain a tight relationship with Tangyuan, and that he could be valued by the Luo steward and his wife, and the benefits to his family were too many.
Hurriedly smiled, "It is our blessing to be liked by nobles." With so much good satin, the doll will be even better. ”
Aunt Luo nodded with a smile, and said, "My master said that although she didn't know that little bird, she knew that it was not ordinary. My sister doesn't want your family's things in vain, saying that after my uncle sees it, he will transfer the silver to you. ”
Chen Afu hurriedly shook his head and said, "What you gave to Miss Chu, why are you embarrassed to accept the cash." ”
Aunt Luo said with a smile, "Our master said so, and when the time comes, Mrs. Chen will accept it." ”
He pointed to the package and said, "This is a gift from my master to Dabao, thank you for accompanying my sister for the past two days, he has a good time with my sister." My master also said that Dabao is my sister's first friend, and I ask Dabao to go to Tangyuan tomorrow to play. He quickly explained, "My sister's personality is relatively high and she doesn't like to make friends, but Dabao has her blue eyes, which is not easy." ”
Steward Luo and Aunt Luo were very kind, and after explaining the matter, they drank two sips of tea with face, and then got up and left.
Chen Ah Fu and Chen Ming sent them out, and saw many villagers pointing in the distance. Some people who are bold and self-conscious of having some face also shouted to take care of things.
As soon as the carriage left, someone stood outside the fence and asked Chen Ming, "Second Brother Chen, how did you know Master Luo?" ”
Chen Ming smiled and said, "It's Dabao, he pleased the little master of Tangyuan, and he played in Tangyuan for two days in a row, and Master Luo just sent him back." ”
Chen Afu is secretly happy, and Chen Ming's father is still cunning and cunning.
She hurriedly asked Chen Dabao about the situation in Tangyuan.
Chen Dabao said that Yan'er's sister liked the swallow doll very much, so she didn't let go when she grabbed it, and ate obediently. Abbot Lichen was very happy and treated him better. The attitude of the people was much better towards him than yesterday, and they did not mention the purchase of him or Qiqi and Ash. The beautiful little bird was also very pleasant, and its call was so beautiful that it sometimes made Sister Yan'er look at her......
Chen Afu was relieved when he heard this. She went back to the house to see the satin, five in all, brilliant and smooth as a mirror. It is she who makes the few colors of the little swallow, bright blue, moon white, begonia red, ginger yellow, and light crimson.
In the package, there are two packets of candy, two packets of snacks, and two knives of rice paper.
The master in Steward Luo's mouth must be the abbot of Chen. is really a hearted and charitable woman, last time I sent pen and ink, this time I sent paper, all of which can be used by Dabao and Alu.
Thinking of what Aunt Luo said about asking his uncle to give the ten sparrow silver, she laughed even more. Since it is not an ordinary product, hundreds of taels of silver must be worth it.
When Wang came back, he was surprised to see these satin, "God, this soft satin is produced in Wuzhou, Jiangnan, and it is very expensive." It's a shame to use it to make dolls. ”
Chen Afu said with a smile, "We think it's expensive, but rich people don't." He added, "That girl seems to be leaving in a few days, so let's make dolls with me these days, big, medium and small, do more." ”
Wang said angrily, "The little swallow is only so small, how big can it be." ”
Chen Afu pursed his lips and smiled, "Mother is right to listen to me." ”
A few people were talking and laughing in the new courtyard, when they heard the voices of Hu and others coming from the old courtyard. Dafang must have heard some rumors and came to inquire about the news.
Chen Afu didn't want to see Hu, and he was afraid that she would come to the new courtyard to talk. asked Wang to take candy and snacks to send some to the big house, and specifically asked them not to tell the matter of satin at home. If Hu Shi knew, it was likely that he would rush over and pull some satin. Chen Ming and Wang both knew Hu's virtue, and nodded with a smile.
Chen Afu also said that she and Dabao ate by themselves in the new courtyard in the evening, but they didn't go.
