Orchid, who was watering the flowers in the yard, heard their conversation, put the shower on the ground, lifted the curtain and walked into the house. Blamed Lancao and said, "The person who should tear your mouth the most is you, how can you talk to your uncle?"

After finishing talking about Chunlan, Chunhua said to Ah Lu again, "Uncle can give these pen and ink to others if he wants to, and you can use them no matter how you use them, anyway, these things are also prepared by the eldest grandmother for the young master." However, the slave maid also felt that we should still take the gifts prepared by the Foreign Affairs Office. You don't take it, the cheap ones are also those snobs. ”

Although Ah Lu was shy and sven, he had a stubborn personality, so he still shook his head. In his mind, the gifts prepared by the Foreign Affairs Office were nothing more than a few packs of snacks and a few packs of sugar, and they were not worth a few dollars. If he took it, he would be told that he would go back to his uncle's house and give gifts from his brother-in-law's house. That idea is not worth it.

After a while, Sanquan came.

Chunhua scolded again, "Why did you come?" ”

Sanquan said with a smile, "Two sisters, when you still have a rest, I haven't been idle all day long." Uncle is resting today, so I have to sleep lazy. ”

He bowed down and said to Ah Lu, "Uncle, let's go." ”

Orchid instructed Ah Lu again, "Uncle, don't reward that shameless person if you have nothing to do." You are the younger brother of the grandmother, and you are the master, so there is no need to spend money in vain just to see their good faces. He rushed to Sanquan again, "Did you hear that?" ”

Sanquan and Lancao both blushed a little, Lancao rolled her eyes, and Sanquan nodded busily.

The two of them came to the corner gate, but they did not see the carriage of Haopai.

A porter said, "Yo, my uncle is going out." The carriage waited for a long time and you didn't come, and Steward Jiang thought that you wouldn't go out, so he took the carriage to go outside the city to do errands. Why don't the minions go to the stables again and let them fetch another car?"

Sanquan said, "Do you still need to ask? ”

Chen Alu said, "Thank you, little brother, forget it, I don't need to adjust it anymore, I'll just go out and call a car." ”

Sanquan was so angry that he curled his mouth, and he didn't dare to say more. He knew that his uncle's hands were tight, and he must have called an ox cart or a donkey cart when he went out, but the cart had no carriage, and it was hot and embarrassing to sit on.

Out of the corner gate, Sanquan said, "Uncle, why don't you let the porter go and call a carriage again? Go to your uncle's house and sit on it! br/>."

Ah Lu said, "Re-transfer the car for us, the porter's errand fee, as well as the coachman's errand fee, at least two silver horns to go out." If you call a donkey cart, a few pennies will be spent. ”

Sanquan said, "Uncle is too honest, he just doesn't reward them for his silver horns, and they dare to say that they won't go? If they really dare not go, they will sue the eldest grandmother and let them go around without eating." ”

Ah Lu shook his head and said, "Forget it, my sister is heavy, and there are many things in the house, I don't want to bother her with these little things." ”

Sanquan said, "If the eldest grandmother sends a person as powerful as Luo's mother to my uncle, my uncle will not be despised by those people, and the minions will be able to enjoy the happiness with him." You see, Brother Bao is not the eldest grandmother's own son, because with Luo's mother, no one dares to despise him. But my uncle is the younger brother of my grandmother, but I still have to ......"

Ah Lu was really angry, and said angrily, "Shut up, you said that I just said it, how can you arrange Dabao like this? My sister and brother-in-law both regard Dabao as the son of the in-law, and I also regard him as the nephew of the in-law." If my sister hears such a thing, she will not let her break your mouth. ”

Sanquan was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "It's the minion, the slave is talking nonsense, and I won't dare next time." ”

Ah Lu said, "Don't worry, I will tell my sister that I will not let you go to the countryside to serve me without anyone when I leave." ”

He knew that Sanquan and Lancao were most afraid that they would really be his minions in the future and follow him to the countryside. They are now the servants of the General's Mansion, and they may return to the capital in the future and become the servants of the Hou Mansion. If they follow him, they will be the servants of the landlords in the countryside. People go to high places, and he doesn't want to stop them.

Sanquan laughed awkwardly twice, and did not deny that he didn't want to go to the countryside with him. said, "It's not that the slaves don't want to go with them to serve their uncles, it's that the slaves are all in the house, and they are reluctant to leave them." ”

Walking to the mouth of the alley, there are ox carts and donkey carts. The ox cart costs six wen, and the donkey cart costs five wen. Chen Alu said that there were only two of them, so he called a donkey cart for five yuan.

Chen Alu was just about to get into the car, Sanquan hurriedly wiped the car with his sleeve and asked Alu to sit on. Ah Lu is wearing a very decent dress today, it is a moon-white embroidered soft satin robe, if there is a cloud of black ash on his buttocks, he will definitely be scolded when he returns home.

On the way, Chen Alu saw the dim sum shop, got out of the car and bought two packs of dim sum and two packs of candied fruit, and also bought two ribbons for Chen Aman and Wang Xiaomei as head ropes.

arrived at Chen Shi's house in more than three quarters of an hour, not only Chen Shi's family was here, but even Wang Cheng's family came.

Seeing them, Ah Lu smiled with crooked eyebrows. He felt that he was not only free to laugh here, but also to breathe freely. In fact, he really wanted to stay here or at his uncle's house at night and go to the General's Mansion during the day to attend classes. But he was afraid that his sister would be sad if he brought it up, so he never dared to mention it.

He took out the gifts, one for everyone. Especially Ah Tang and the younger brother, I like the pen and ink he sent very much.

Chen Aman also chuckled, "Thank you, Brother Alu, I still want to buy two head ropes for my sister, it's really sensible." ”

After dinner, Chen Shi was about to go to the restaurant. Today, in order to entertain Ah Lu, he took half a day off. Before he left, Ah Lu secretly asked him to help exchange ten taels of silver, five small silver ingots of one tael, and another five taels for dozens of small silver horns.

Chen Shi glanced at him, didn't say anything, and exchanged the ten taels of silver as he requested. After that, he knocked on the side and asked him if he was used to living in the general's mansion.

Ah Lu told him that he lived very well, and went to the main courtyard to eat with his sister at noon and evening, and only ate breakfast by himself, and there were so many people to serve. I just miss my father and mother very much, and I miss Luyuan.

Chen Shi left, and Wang Cheng couldn't continue to stay at Chen's house, so he led a few boys to go shopping. Ah Lu had been to Fucheng before, his leg was not good at that time, and he had never played on the street, but he went out to play today, and Ah Tang and Ah Di were together, and they were very excited.

Wang Cheng was invited to dinner, and the snacks eaten in the restaurant made a few boys smile.

After that, Wang Cheng called a donkey cart again, first sent Ah Lu and Sanquan back to the General's Mansion, and then sent Ah Tang back to Chen's house, and took Wu and Xiaomei home by the way.

When he came to the corner gate of the General's Mansion, Wang Cheng saw Ah Lu's reluctant eyes and said with a smile, "Next time you take a break, come to your uncle's house to play." ”
