It was noon and Chen Dabao hadn't come back yet. There was no firewood at home, so Wang went to the west of the village to collect firewood. She went there wearing gloves. No one in the family dared 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.

Chen Afu did not dare to go without the company of Jin Yanzi and others. She thought that she would have to pay for firewood in the future, so she couldn't keep pretending to be poor.

The sun sets and Chen Dabao has not come back yet. Chen Afu couldn't sit still. She came to the yard and looked eastward 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 for Dabao. It's hard to spend time with a noble man. Not only do you have to smile with him, but you also don't say the wrong thing. Even adults like us are worried about him, let alone a child of his age.

Suddenly, two birds appeared in the eastern sky. They were hovering high in the sky, as if waiting for the stragglers. Then he vaguely saw a carriage approaching here, and they seemed to be hovering above the carriage.

When the two birds flew closer and closer, they finally saw the big bird. It was Hui Hui.

When they landed in the yard, the carriage also came to a stop outside the fence gate. It was Steward Luo who drove the carriage himself.

Manager Luo got out of the car and took down Chen Dabao who was holding Zhuifeng. Another middle-aged woman got out of the car, wrapped in silk and wearing a hosta.

Chen Dabao greeted loudly, Mother, grandpa, uncle, and sister Yan'er like the smiling little Yanzi very much.

Chen Afu went to open the door. Manager Luo pointed at the woman and said, This is my son's mother. My master asked her to bring you a few words.

Chen Afu hurriedly smiled at the woman and said, Mrs. Luo.

He quickly invited Guanshi Luo and his wife into the house. The carriage could not enter through the small fence gate, so the gate of the new yard was opened and the carriage was pulled in.

Steward Luo and his wife took a few pieces of satin and a package from the carriage and were invited into the west room.

These two couples are the most powerful nobles in these villages, and no one else can invite them.

Chen Ming rushed over to accompany him, Chen Afu served tea, and Chen Dabao brought peanuts and candies for the guests.

Aunt Luo first praised Dabao for being sensible and pleasing her master, and then said with a smile, Miss Chen is skillful with her hands and has an even more clever mind. The little swallow doll she made seems to be very popular with my sister. Napa said Zi covered her mouth and laughed a few times, and then said, Oh my God, this is the first time I have seen a laughing swallow.

Manager Luo laughed twice. He had been paying attention to the beautiful bird in the morning and felt that the little master would definitely like the bird. Who would have imagined that the thing that really pleases the little master is that stuffed doll. Fortunately, I asked Dabao to take it with me. If I didn't take it with me as I wanted, it would be a mistake.

Aunt Luo pointed to the pieces of satin and a small bag of cotton and said, One doll is not enough. My master wants to ask Madam Chen to make a few more. My sister can also take them to Fucheng to play with, and they can also be changed and washed. These satins are used If it’s not finished, I’ll save it to make some clothes for your family.”

Chen Afu was overjoyed. He didn't say that there would be so much satin that he would never use up. He only said that he could maintain a close relationship with Tangyuan and be valued by Steward Luo and his wife, which would be of great benefit to his family.

He smiled hurriedly and said, We are lucky to be favored by noble people. With so much good satin, the dolls we make will be even better.

Aunt Luo smiled and nodded, and then said, My mistress said that although she didn't recognize the little bird, she knew it was not an ordinary bird at a glance. My sister doesn't want to ask for your things for nothing, so she said she wanted my uncle to After reading it, I will transfer the money to you.

Chen Afu hurriedly shook his head and said, Why do you have the nerve to collect money for something given to Miss Chu?

Aunt Luo smiled and said, Our master said so, Miss Chen will just keep it when the time comes.

Then he pointed to the package and said, This is a gift from my master to Dabao. Thank you for staying with my sister these two days. He and my sister have a good time. My master also said that Dabao is my sister's number one. I’m a friend, please invite Dabao to play in Tangyuan tomorrow.” He quickly explained, “My sister has a relatively aloof character and doesn’t like to make friends, but Dabao has won her favor, which is not easy.”

Manager Luo and Aunt Luo were very kind. After explaining the matter, they took a few sips of tea in a dignified manner, then got up and left.

Chen Afu and Chen Ming sent them out and saw many villagers pointing in the distance. Some people who were brave and conscious of having some dignity even greeted Guanshi Luo loudly.

As soon as the carriage left, someone stood outside the fence and asked Chen Ming, Brother Chen, how did your family get to know Mr. Luo?

Chen Ming chuckled and said, It's Dabao. He pleased the little master of Tangyuan and played in Tangyuan for two days in a row. Mr. Luo just sent him back.

Chen Afu secretly had fun, but Chen Ming's father was still cunning and cunning.

She quickly asked Chen Dabao about his situation in Tangyuan.

Chen Dabao said that sister Yan'er liked the swallow doll very much. She would not let go of it and even ate obediently. Abbot Liaochen was very happy and treated him better. The servants' attitude towards him was much better than yesterday, and they never mentioned buying him or Qiqi and Huihui again. That beautiful little bird is also very lovable, its chirping is very nice, and sometimes it can even make Sister Yan’er look at it...

Chen Afu felt relieved after hearing this. She went back to the house to look at the pieces of satin, five pieces in total, which were as brilliant as a mirror and as smooth as a mirror. These are the colors she used to make little swallows, beautiful blue, moon white, crabapple red, brown, and light crimson.

In the package, there were two packages of candies, two packages of snacks, and two knives of rice paper.

The master Luo Guanshi mentioned must be Abbot Liaochen. What a thoughtful and charitable woman. She gave pen and ink last time, and paper this time, all of which Dabao and Alu can use.

Thinking about what Aunt Luo said about asking her uncle to give Shijinque silver, she even laughed heartily. Since it is not an ordinary item, it must be worth hundreds of taels of silver.

When Wang came back, she was surprised to see the satin and said, My God, this soft satin is produced in Wuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. It is very expensive. It is a pity to use it to make dolls.

Chen Afu smiled and said, We think it's expensive, but rich people don't. He added, That girl seems to be leaving in a few days. Mom, please make dolls with me these days, big, medium, small, many Make something.”

Wang said angrily, A little swallow is only so small, how big can it get?

Chen Afu pursed his lips and smiled, Mom, you heard me right.

Several people were chatting and laughing in the new courtyard when they heard the voices of Hu and others coming from the old courtyard. The big house must have heard some rumors and came to inquire about the news.

Chen Afu didn't want to see Ms. Hu, and was afraid that she would come to the new yard to talk about it. He asked Mrs. Wang to go over with candies and snacks and give them to the big house, and specifically asked them not to tell anyone about the satin at home. If Mr. Hu knew about it, he would probably rush over and pull some satin by force, but not necessarily. Both Chen Ming and Wang knew Hu's virtue and nodded with a smile.

Chen Afu also said that she and Dabao ate by themselves in the new yard at night, but they couldn't get there.

Thank you to cute little Mengyue for the sachet, and thank you to Hera @Qianlin for the purse.
