When the wine and feast were over, the people dispersed.

Lu Tang took Pu Jia and Cai Wei together, and walked together on the path back to the courtyard.

"Snowball, snowball." The little furball dog in his arms yawned comfortably, and Lu Tang couldn't help but whisper its name while reaching out to play with its chin.

Next to her, Cai Wei was carrying a lamp, and she also looked at the little Jingba, and couldn't help laughing: "This little cub looks very comfortable, but he is about to fall asleep in the arms of the young lady." ”

Pu Jia heard it in front, so she turned her head and said softly: "Why are you still looking at that little dog, it's dark and the road is slippery, and I fell carefully." ”

Cai Wei hurriedly stopped her mouth, solemnly held her breath, gently supported Lu Tang's elbow with a lamp in one hand and the other hand, and walked cautiously following the Pu Jia who was shining on the road in front of her.

After passing through the garden, I didn't take two steps to see Lu Tang's small courtyard at the door, with two red lanterns hanging brightly.

"Those little girls have become clever for the first time." Cai Wei raised her eyebrows and said with some surprise.

After two more steps, the deer guarding the door saw them, and the courtyard became lively for a while. Qingmei, Taoxiang, Xiaoyu and other four or five little girls rushed out, greeted them into the hospital with a smile, and congratulated Lu Tang on his birthday.

Lu Tang watched them all tie their buns with red head ropes, and their round eyes were full of smiles, which was very flattering. So he smiled and ordered Pu Jia to grab a handful of copper from his purse and reward them.

Finally entered the house, Lu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, gently put down the little Jingba in his arms, and let it play by itself with its little short legs.

Pu Jia rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and after a while, she found an old sewing basket from the house. He also spread several layers of thick cotton cloth in it, and put it in the corner of the house, temporarily using it as a small nest for snowballs.

"Look at it, it's sleepy after barely taking two steps."

Lu Tang pointed to the small snowballs on the ground and laughed.

Cai Wei turned her head to take a look, and saw that it was walking crookedly on the ground, and its little head was little by little, as if it was about to roll down and fall asleep by accident, and she couldn't help laughing so much that her stomach hurt.

Pu Jia was kind, and with a smile she scooped up the snowball from the ground and gently put it in the nest in the corner of the house to rest.

The little milk dog was snooze, and fell asleep quietly after only a moment.

The three of them saw that Snowball's round little belly was lying down together, and they were snoring, which was very interesting.

Because she ate smoky things such as roast venison at noon today, Pu Jia was worried that Lu Tang would not be able to sleep well at night because of the smell on his body, so he ordered the little girls to send a few large buckets of hot water to the kitchen.

When Lu Tang came out of the shower comfortably, Cai Wei, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly found a few pieces of cotton cloth to dry her hair carefully, and applied rose paste to her hands and face before stopping.

and all kinds of miscellaneous things were finally done, and it was already late at night.

When the surrounding environment faded away from the hustle and bustle of the day, Lu Tang covered himself with a brocade quilt and lay quietly on the bed.

She stared straight at the layers of tents above her head, and suddenly felt a mess in her heart, some indescribable taste—neither happy nor unhappy.

The daughter's family always has to face a lot of things when she is old, and the thirteen-year-old cardamom years represents that she is about to enter adulthood, represents that she is about to talk about family affairs, and that she can no longer play as heartless and heartless as before.

She remembered her mother's joke about her family affairs at the dinner party, and knew that what her mother said was not really a joke, but that she really had to start thinking about her family affairs.

After thinking about it for a long time, her eyelids gradually became heavier and heavier, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Tang woke up early in the morning inexplicably, only to feel as if he had neglected something, and his heart was empty and he couldn't put his mind down.

Suddenly, there was a soft chirp in the corner of the house, and she only felt that her heart was steady, and she almost forgot that there was a little milk dog Snowball in the house.

He didn't wait for Pu Jia to come in and serve himself to get up, and hurriedly put on a gown, pulled on embroidered shoes, and got out of bed to see.

Xueqiu'er was obviously a little hungry, lying in her own nest, looking at Lu Tang with her big wet eyes with some grievances, and stretched out her little pink tongue to lick her palm.

Lu Tang's heart instantly turned into a puddle of water, and he hurriedly called Pu Jia and Cai Wei to come into the house to serve him. I hurriedly washed up again, and I couldn't wait to put on my clothes and run to the main courtyard.

"Mother, mother!"

Lu Tang carried the corner of her skirt and ran all the way, and the maids who swept the side of the road looked at her with a smile, just saying that the young lady had any fresh ideas to tell Mrs. Lu when she woke up.

"Why are you so flustered today?" Mrs. Lu had just woken up at this time, and was sitting by the window to let Mingzhu comb her hair, and when she saw Lu Tang panting all the way into the house, she couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Mother, where is the dog maid you found for me?"

Lu Tang stood in the room and patted his chest tiredly, and asked evenly.

Mrs. Lu was angry when she heard this: "You came here early in the morning just for this little idea?" ”

"My snowballs are hungry."

Lu Tang stuck out his tongue and explained a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Lu couldn't help but hold her forehead, waved her hand and instructed Mingyue, the big girl on the side: "Go find her a dog girl." ”

Mingyue smiled and went out, and Lu Tang was also relieved, and sat on a chair to pour tea for himself.

After about a cup of tea, Mingyue brought a rough girl in, only to see that the girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, tied with a coarse cloth with a double bun, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very honest.

"Where did you find this girl?"

Lu Tang saw that the rough girl was not smart, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

"It's the little sister in Song Dayong's house who manages the stables in the outer courtyard, called Xiaohua. Because she couldn't find a fine dog maid for a while, her eldest brother heard about it, and said that he had many dogs at home, and Baba recommended his sister-in-law. Mingyue explained with a smile.

"I remember that Song Dayong, who was in charge of the stables, was a clever worker, and presumably his sister would not be far behind."

Mrs. Lu listened to it, but she had a little impression of Song Dayong in her mind, so she said to Lu Tang with a smile.

Lu Tang was still not satisfied, but he must have been unable to find a suitable dog maid for a while, so he gave up.

But in the end, it was difficult to calm down, so he scared the maid and said: "You have to be finer, my snowball is coming back from the county king's mansion, and if it is not raised well, it will be beheaded." ”

The girl didn't know if she was really stupid or fake, so she nodded her head in fright, but it amused Lu Tang.

And Mrs. Lu, Mingzhu and Mingyue, who were watching from the side, couldn't laugh when they saw this.
