Before it was time for lunch, Qingguo came back and brought an extra carriage.

"Girl, Madame has instructed that she has prepared the festival rites at my uncle's house, because the girl is not in the house, and she is about to send someone over. As soon as the slave and maid passed, the lady asked the slave and maid to come with something. Qingguo didn't bother to wash his face, so he hurriedly came over to report, and after speaking, he presented the gift list.

Qingguo Fever's face was flushed, and Hui Lan didn't care about looking at the gift list, so she asked her to go down to freshen up and rest first.

asked Liu Ya to call her father over, and Hui Lan flipped through the paper booklet in her hand and sighed infinitely. I didn't see a few things that Steward Li said before, and I replaced them with supplements such as bird's nest and a few food and supplies that are not easy to perish.

Her grandfather's house is far away and she has to send it in advance, and she doesn't have to worry about the estimation of the other families. My aunt really did it for her, and although she was grateful, she couldn't just accept it. It's not once or twice, it's every year.

Huilan is not a real child, and she never likes to owe people. What's more, it's not like she can't really get out a single money, so let her aunt take out her wallet, after a long time, don't talk about the old lady, lady, uncle, and them, even the next people will gossip about them.

When Steward Li came over in a hurry, Hui Lan had already thought of a solution.

Huilan invited him to sit down and handed him the gift list, "Uncle Li, this festival is all ready, when will I send it?" ”

"Mrs. Gu loves the girl, she is so well prepared." Steward Li sighed.

Hui Lan smiled heartlessly, "Yes, my aunt loves me." Uncle Li, I think that I am still so young, and it must not be thorough and convenient to prepare for the annual festival. Why don't I ask my aunt to collect the 10,000 taels of tickets before, and ask her to bother to help me buy a festival gift, do you think it's okay? ”

Steward Li was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "This is very appropriate, the girl is so young, it is not convenient to use money or prepare things." I simply asked my aunt to work hard for a few years, and when the girl was older, she could start it herself. ”

Hui Lan nodded, and she trusted Uncle Li even more.

"Today is eighteen, from Yanjing to Chang'an more than a thousand miles, plus it is now hot, it takes six or seven days to gallop all the way. If you take a carriage with a gift, it will take at least twice as long. If there is a delay on the road, it will take about twenty days. "Steward Li introduced it carefully, and then asked for a life," the old slave was not talented, and recommended himself to the girl. ”

Hui Lan nodded, no matter how fast it is, it will have to be tomorrow to set off, and it will take eighteen days to compromise the time. She also wanted Uncle Li to go, Zhuangzi was busy with the summer harvest, and she couldn't find anyone to help.

"Uncle Li is out of the horse, I don't have anything to worry about. Seeing that the meal is ordered, you eat first and take a break. Prepare things again, don't miss the things you need to eat, and don't grieve yourself when you go out. You don't have to rush too much on the road, it's better to be slow than smooth. Hui Lan admonished. Going out on a hot day is also a sin, and you have to prepare everything before you can get it right.

Steward Li thanked Huilan first, and then retired.

Huilan ate and disappeared into the house while chatting with Willow Bud Narcissus. One doesn't understand anything, and listens to two half-understood people talking about the regulations for going out at the moment.

Hui Lan should listen to the excitement, even if they have eaten more than ten years of Daqin's salt than her, they must not have gone far away. She still asked Uncle Li at night, she didn't expect to go far away, and it was good to have a long experience.

The whole family had an ice basin in the room, so they let the three green fruit willow buds and narcissus rest in the Luohan bed in the room.

It's still the same as before, and when I wake up from a nap, I read in the study in the house. As an ancient lady, Hui Lan found that at her current age, there seemed to be no way to pass the time except for reading and writing.

In order not to be bored by picking my feet and being read to death by my mother, and in order to be able to read and understand interesting books such as books and travelogues as soon as possible, absorb spiritual food so as not to run out. Hui Lan settled down to familiarize herself with children's enlightenment textbooks: the three-character classic, the hundred family names, the thousand-character text, the sound rhythm enlightenment and the like.

The above characters are even guessed with Meng can know more than half, and Hui Lan is mainly familiar with typography and traditional Chinese characters. Her wrist strength is lacking now, and her aunt only asks her to draw one red one every day, at most ten words. This time she came out without a red book, and Huilan practiced calligraphy on paper.

After dinner, Steward Li came to report, "The old slave and a guard are riding horses, the groom is driving, and the three of them will set off tomorrow." ”

"Doesn't Uncle Li ride in a carriage? Is it enough to bring a nursing home? Hui Lan said with concern.

"It's hot, it's too stuffy to ride, it's better to ride a horse with a hat. A group of three people, enough, more is not necessary. Steward Li was very patient, "I have already sent someone to the carriage and horse shop to rent two horses, and there is a carriage in the house, so it is all right." ”

Hui Lan didn't understand anything but nodded, she was a layman, so she still didn't want to express her opinions casually.

"Bring more money with you, don't be inconvenient at the end." Hui Lan said with the thinking of modern people.

Before Steward Li could speak, Liu Ya smiled first, "It can be seen that the girl has never been out of the house, just go out with some broken silver and copper coins on her." Along the way, the major state capitals and counties are rich villages, and it is enough to bring a banker ticket, which is so heavy that the horse can't pull it. ”

Well, I forgot that copper coins and gold and silver were not light, and I also forgot that the commerce of Daqin was unprecedentedly developed, and banks were common in ancient times. Huilan was embarrassed, and blushed and glanced at Liu Ya a few times. You are a second goods, is it really good to dismantle the leadership platform like this?

Liu Ya didn't care, and was still snickering there.

"There are no rules, how can you talk to the girl, if your mother is watching and not beating you." Steward Li whispered with a calm face.

Hui Lan had never seen Uncle Li scold people, and she shuddered with a cold throat. Liu Ya also bit her lip and didn't dare to laugh anymore.

Steward Li immediately bowed down and pleaded guilty, "The old slave was negligent in disciplining, but she was so unruly, please punish the girl." ”

Seeing this, Liu Ya didn't dare to stand, and immediately knelt down.

"Uncle Li, hurry up, Liu Ya is still young, but it's just a joke." Hui Lan hurriedly went to help him.

Steward Li didn't get up, and said solemnly, "There are no rules, there is no circle, she has followed the girl for the longest time." At the age of twelve, she relied on the dignity of Lao Tzu Niang to be a second-class maid in the Guogong Mansion. I didn't know that being diligent and errand was so unruly. Let people see it, and the girls of the Li family are all like this, and even the girls have to be underestimated. ”

Huilan looked at the willow buds that were about to cry and sighed helplessly. It is estimated that it is because Chong Huilan has been serving by her side since she was a child, and Liu Ya sometimes speaks very loudly. If it's in your own home, it's fine. It's a pity that they have to live in the homes of relatives. She's not safe like this. Uncle Li, as a father, of course doesn't want his daughter to be punished, so he has to take precautions. ”

"Then fine Liu Ya for a month's money, we have to stay at home for more than ten days, and you can stay in the house to do needlework and calm down." Okay my good, you can have a snack. Huilan is not afraid of being embarrassed, but she doesn't want Liu Ya to continue like this, it will be bad if she hurts her again in the future.

Liu Ya gritted her teeth and didn't cry, and thanked her with a white face and withdrew.

Hui Lan helped Steward Li up, "Uncle Li, don't worry, I will take care of her." The house has assigned me a nurturing mother, and I will let Liu Ya follow the rules. Mom worries about me day and night, but she neglects Liu Ya. I'm also naughty, pulling willow buds all day long, don't blame them. ”

Steward Li thanked Huilan gratefully, and got back to business, "There is enough money in the account here, and the old slave will bring a hundred taels of tickets on his body just in case." The old slave has walked no less than five times along the way, so the girl doesn't have to worry. The old slave has already explained to Han's mother and the nurses, and the family girl doesn't have to worry. Zhuang Shang estimated that he would be busy in early August, and at that time Steward Zhou would definitely come to call the girl back, so that he could send the other two families to the festival gifts. ”

Hui Lan nodded movingly, she really her for her, she was indeed blessed! The two said a few more words, and Hui Lan asked him to go back to rest early.

Hui Lan Zheng cherished a sentence, "It's hot, Uncle Li is estimated to set off as soon as possible." Don't come to me, just take care of yourself. Eat and drink carefully on the way, and pay attention to rest. Nothing matters as much as people, you just take two people to go and return safely. ”

Steward Li was very touched and relieved that his girl had grown up and was sensible. couldn't help but praise Huilan a few words, and then went back happily.

Huilan called Han's mother over and asked her if she had prepared things for the people who were going out, and had breakfast been arranged tomorrow morning?

Han's mother is also very reliable, and replied that she had already equipped the hat and umbrella and water bladder and put them in the carriage. The carriage and horses were also washed and fed to ensure that there would be no problems.

Huilan listened and memorized, but she grew knowledge. She didn't understand or understand, so in the end, she could only praise Han's mother and reward her with a piece of silver.

The whole thing is good, Liu Ya has a double salary for a month, which is two taels of silver, and the bonus will be deducted.
