Chapter 692 Saburo's new errand

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Liu had just greeted a few people who came to inquire, when she turned her head and saw two guards pulling in one person.

Ayu followed behind, rubbed his head and said, "Aniang, I accidentally bumped someone, I need to ask a doctor to come over and take a look, don't hit him."

Just as the glutinous rice **** were about to go out to invite a doctor, a few people walked in from the door, the leader held a gift box in his hand, and asked with a smile: "It's a big holiday, who wants to invite a doctor? This is not good, let me show you Let's see."

Ayu took a closer look and saw that it was Grandma Wen and her party.

Grandma Wen used to live in Nanhe Town, adjacent to the Wang family's yard. She took her granddaughter with her in the town. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, she came to Wanning City to reunite with her son and daughter-in-law.

The one who started the conversation was Grandma Wen's son, Dr. Wen, who the Wang family had frequented.

"Doctor Wen, why are you here when you have time? I'm afraid you are also busy entering Jishitang?" Mrs. Liu hurried forward, took the gift box with her own hands, and went to greet them again.

"Today is the opening day of your nursery school, we have to come here for anything." Dr. Wen exchanged a few simple greetings, and then followed Mrs. Liu to see the drunk man who helped him in.

Ayu, however, saw the person following Doctor Wen, a girl about fifteen years old, wearing a lotus-colored double-breasted skirt, with fashionable pearl flowers on her hair, gentle eyebrows and eyes, with the unique charm of a girl.

"Sister Wenwen!" Seeing the girl, Ayu forgot to follow the drunk man, but pulled Wenwen aside, her tone of excitement couldn't be concealed, "You came to Wanning City too? Why didn't you tell me?" I'll write a letter so I can pick you up."

Wenwen covered her mouth with a handkerchief, showing a shy and timid smile, and her voice was soft: "It's my fault. I came here in a hurry and didn't think too much about it. Please forgive me."

Hearing this tone, Ayu looked at Wenwen several times, causing Wenwen to cover her eyes with a handkerchief in embarrassment, avoiding Ayu's curious visitation.

"Ayu, you don't have to worry about things here, take Wenwen back to Sansi Street first, and play with her." Mrs. Liu came out of the house, and said to the other children, "You too, this side of Yuyoutang Nothing to do, let's go home first, Dr. Wen's family will have dinner at our house tonight."

Everyone agreed, and then turned around and left the Yuyoutang.

Ayu was worried about the drunk man, but thinking that A Niang and Dr. Wen were both there, and she didn't need to worry more, she took Wenwen with one hand, greeted Qin Huai and his brothers and sisters-in-law, and walked back slowly.

When they walked to the street, they were surrounded by lively crowds, and Ayu felt that Wenwen was obviously relieved.

"My mother was here just now. I didn't dare to be presumptuous. Did I scare you?" Wenwen stuffed the handkerchief into her cuff, patted her chest, and said helplessly, "This time it was my mother who called me and my grandma over." , She said that she wanted to take me to see someone's family, but she forced me to learn the rules for several days. She said that the husband's family who wanted to see her was more particular, and I used to have no rules in the town, so this is not acceptable. "

Ayu was stunned: "No wonder you talked to me like that just now, but you are just looking at people, and you don't want to convert to any sect. Why do you suddenly talk about those rules? If you don't get along with yourself, then we don't know each other."

Wenwen had no choice but to say, "How can we be the masters of marriage? What's more, for a girl like me from the town, it would be great if she could marry in Wanning City. If I pick and choose, I will be underestimated."

"Sister Wenwen, you are so good, there must be many good people who like you, why belittle yourself? Why don't I let Brother Ayou and the brothers in the family pay attention, the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial College and Wanning Academy, etc. Young people from good families are all good."

The marriages of my elder brothers are pretty smooth, at most, the eldest brother met with twists and turns at the beginning, and the sister-in-law he found in the end was also very good. Not to mention her, a joke when she was a child made her decide on her life's major events, and now she thinks it's pretty good.

Because of this, Ayu believes that if she wants to find a partner, she must be someone she likes and is satisfied with, otherwise she cannot understand why two people choose to get married.

"Forget it, let's not talk about me, tell me what's new in Wanning City. I heard from my father that you are now on duty in the imperial city. Ayu, you are only ten years old. You can beat so many adults, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find one in the whole Dachang, it’s too powerful.” Wenwen looked at Ayu enviously, and said with emotion, “When I came, Liu’er told me, If I feel uncomfortable in Wanning City, I must go to you, because you are a person who can live comfortably anywhere. "

"Hey, Liu'er understands me." Hearing what she said, Ayu was so happy that she almost grinned to the back of her head.

Qin Huai and the others followed behind. Hearing the chattering of the two girls, especially Ayu's laughing voice, they couldn't help laughing and shaking their heads.

Their younger sister is good at everything, but she can't stand compliments. If anyone praises her, she will see her tail go up to the sky on the spot.

The group of people did not go directly back to Wang's courtyard, but strolled around the street several times.

There are many stalls on the street. Ayu looked and looked all the way, bought and bought, and finally everyone carried several wrapped square boxes in their hands. They were all gifts bought by Ayu for everyone, and Wenwen was no exception.

Of course, everyone couldn't bear to just grab Ayu's wool, and bought gifts for Ayu one after another. Originally, today was her birthday, so everyone prepared a birthday gift, and now they bought a lot of extras, and Ayu accepted them all.

From this street back to Sansi Street, there are fewer vendors selling groceries, and a lot more poetry stalls, selling lamps, calligraphy and paintings, or various paper-cut sculptures. Most of them don’t need money here, just guess. You can get it in the crossword puzzle.

The anagrams and couplets on Sansi Street are usually much more difficult than those on other streets. Many students around are thinking hard, and Ayu's hands are itchy, so he drags Qin Huai and his brothers to look for beautiful ones.

Wenwen was very embarrassed. She had no education, let alone these word puzzles. She couldn’t read many characters. Even if Ayu helped to read it out, she felt very awkward and couldn’t understand it at all, let alone guess it.

Ayu was in high spirits, and guessed seven or eight right in succession. When she realized that Wenwen was uncomfortable, she withdrew her hands, pretended to be in a slump and said, "Okay, this is nothing interesting, Sister Wenwen, let's go back and eat mooncakes, Ayu." The mooncakes brought by Brother Yu must be very delicious."

Wenwen forced out a smile: "OK."

Everyone returned to the Wang family, and they were busy hanging the won lanterns everywhere. The courtyard of the Wang family, which was originally decorated very festively, looked even more warm now.

The cook made all kinds of Mid-Autumn cakes early and placed them on the table in the open space of the yard. The servants were also arranged in other yards. Except for those who took turns on duty, everyone else was celebrating.

Everyone passed by occasionally, and when they saw the masters, they all smiled and said "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival", and Ayu and the others responded with a smile.

Late at night, everyone gathered together for dinner, Jiang Turnip called a few new maids in the family, and asked them to distribute mooncakes and Mid-Autumn rewards to the people in the house. For a while, the Wang family was full of laughter.

Wenwen looked at it with envy in her eyes: "Ayu, your family is really nice."

Unlike their family, because parents are not around all the year round, every time they meet, they have to tell her a lot of truths, and Wenwen respects them even more.

Ayu said: "Are you going to stay in Wanning City often in the future? Then, you will often come to our house."

"Then don't find me annoying."

"How could it be? I'm too happy!" Ayu said deliberately distressed, "You don't know, I know someone here, she laughed at me for not handing in a handkerchief, I'll take you out to show her tomorrow, I'm so hungry she!"

Wenwen saw that Ayu was eager to show off her appearance, and she didn't say whether she was worthy of being a handkerchief hander, but she just thought in her heart that the person who wanted to see each other hoped that she would not be pornographic. In this way, her future husband will be a capable man. Yes, she handed over Ayu's handkerchiefs, and no one would laugh at the friends she made for not appearing on the stage.

Ayu is so good, some people want to laugh at her, if she drags her feet, she will die of guilt.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the yard, and soon, a man broke in, his voice couldn't hide the excitement: "My lady, my lady, I have a new job!"

Wei Qianying heard her husband's voice, and hurriedly got up to meet him: "Slow down, what are you doing in such a hurry? Don't fall."

Wang Sanlang smiled, saw that there were many people in the yard, and didn't notice that there were more guests, so he said immediately: "I'm so happy, I can't help but come to tell you."

"Third brother, you didn't come to the family dinner tonight, what are you busy with?" Ayu also asked curiously.

"Today, I did a great deed." Wang Sanlang lifted his chin, and couldn't hide the joy on his face, "Do you know Honglu Temple? Tomorrow, I can go to Honglu Temple to work as an errand. Still a disciple of Honglu Temple, from the official position of the seventh rank!"
