The little sugar baby's eyes fell on the pendant hanging around Pomegranate's neck.
The pendant is white, looks smooth and shiny, and is carved into a different animal shape.
The texture is not that of jade, but rather that of some kind of animal bone.
"Is this what the lady is talking about?" Pomegranate touched the pendant around her neck and said, "This is what my mother left for me. If the lady likes it, you can take it first. When the lady doesn't like it anymore, you can return it to me."
A slave?"
At the end of Pomegranate's words, a look of pleading appeared on her face.
The little sugar baby quickly waved his hand and said: "Since your mother left it to you, you naturally have to keep it well for yourself."
She just thought it was unique and had no intention of taking it as her own.
"Thank you, Miss!" Pomegranate said gratefully.
The little sugar baby sighed, this child is too honest.
Lin Enyi looked at Pomegranate, and then at the pendant around Pomegranate's neck, his eyes flashed, and a look of thought appeared on his face.
In this room, Aunt Wu took out a money bag, looked at Old Mrs. Su, and said: "Madam, here is the money from the vegetables sold these days, as well as some household items that the master and his wife left for the slave's family when they left.
No flowers have been used up, they are all inside..."
It turned out that when Old Man Su and Old Mrs. Su left, they not only bought rice, flour, grain, oil and other supplies for the Wu family, but also left some money.
However, there are no expensive flowers in the garden.
And there is no gardener to take care of it, so it is a bit abandoned.
Mrs. Su thought for a while and asked the Wu couple to plant some vegetables.
The Wu couple were also sincere and felt very sad to see such a large area in the garden abandoned.
So, with the owner's approval, I planted many vegetables.
Not only was the family unable to finish all of these dishes, they also took some out to sell.
The old couple carefully saved the money from the sale, hoping to take it out when the owner came.
After listening to Aunt Wu's words, Mrs. Su nodded and did not take the money bag.
"You keep the money and use some cloth to make clothes for the children." Old Mrs. Su said, "If it's not enough, I'll give you some more later."
Aunt Wu's face was full of gratitude. Meeting such a charitable new master was a blessing that their family had earned in their previous life.
"Thank you ma'am."
After Aunt Wu finished speaking, she looked at each other with her old man.
Immediately, he said: "Madam, if Madam doesn't want to stay in this house for the time being, she can leave me and the head of my family to take care of her. Changsheng and Pomegranate can also work and are both strong. Madam, why don't you take them with you?"
Go back, let alone serve the young master and young lady, or do some rough work."
Otherwise, the owner's money would be used to support their family, and she would feel uneasy.
What if the owner thinks it’s not a good deal and simply sells the grandchildren?
I have to say that Fifth Auntie’s worries are justified.
The Su family is not a wealthy family, and they really don't want to support a few people in vain.
As for Changsheng and Pomegranate, Old Man Su and Mrs. Su have already discussed it. In the future, Changsheng will be with Su Laowu and Pomegranate will be with Little Sugar Baby.
After all, Su Laowu will take part in the scientific examination in the future, and they will feel relieved that he will have a servant by his side.
As for the little sugar baby, he is the head of the village who has been personally granted the title by the emperor. He is still too young to be in trouble now.
When you get older, you will inevitably have a girl by your side to take care of you.
Mrs. Su, who came from a wealthy family, had already considered this.
So, Mrs. Su listened to Aunt Wu's words and said: "Don't worry, the brothers and sisters will stay here for the time being, and we will naturally arrange errands for them later."
After hearing this, Aunt Wu finally felt relieved.
She is not afraid that her grandchildren will have to do errands, but she is afraid that if she doesn't have any errands, she will be rejected by her master.
The little sugar baby took a curious stroll around his house. He opened a small corner door in the backyard and walked out, only to find a long street not far away.
There are vegetable sellers, meat sellers, sesame seed cakes and twists sellers on the street, and -
The little sugar baby looked towards a shop selling bean curd not far away.
Suddenly, she seemed to see her second brother?
Didn’t the second brother go to other places on errands?
She must have been blinded.
The little sugar baby turned back and looked at the two servant rooms next to the corner door.
If we open a door to the outside, we should be able to pawn a shop and make a small living...
"Sister, do you want to eat candied haws on a stick?" Su Xiaoliu ran over and asked excitedly.
The little sugar baby glanced at the candied haws seller not far away, and then looked at the shining eyes of his sixth brother.
"I want to." Little Sugar Baby said sweetly.
Obviously, Sixth Brother wants to eat candied haws.
Su Xiaoliu immediately shouted happily to Mrs. Su at the top of her lungs.
"Mom, my sister wants to eat candied haws!"
Little sugar baby, "..."
Well, that's what she wants to eat.
Su Xiaoliu's voice was even heard by the candied haws seller, and he came over directly carrying the candied haws on his shoulders.
"Master, Miss, my candied haws on a stick is big and sweet..."
The vendor selling candied haws on a stick is selling with a smile on his face.
"Sister, which one do you want to eat?" Su Xiaoliu asked excitedly.
The little sugar baby pointed his finger.
"That bunch!"
"good!"
Su Xiaoliu immediately pulled it out and handed it to her sister.
Pomegranate looked at the red candied haws and swallowed secretly.
The little sugar baby held the candied haws and handed it back to the pomegranate.
"Sister Pomegranate, please eat it too."
Pomegranate seemed to be startled and backed away.
"Slave, I don't want to eat..."
But my eyes couldn't help but look at the red candied haws.
The look of longing is obvious.
Old Mrs. Su came over and said with a smile: "The lady gives you something to eat, so you can eat it."
Pomegranate's eyes lit up.
However, he still didn't dare to answer, but looked at Aunt Wu.
Aunt Wu quickly said: "Why don't you quickly thank Madam and Miss for the reward?"
"Thank you, madam, thank you, miss."
Pomegranate awkwardly bowed to Mrs. Su and the little sugar baby, but the joy on her face was clearly evident.
"Get another bunch for Changsheng." Mrs. Su said.
Su Xiaoliu immediately pulled out a bunch and gave it to Changsheng.
Aunt Wu and his wife looked at Mrs. Su with grateful faces, feeling grateful that they were lucky enough to meet a new master who not only had no pretensions, but was also kind-hearted.
Changsheng and Pomegranate got the candied haws, but instead of eating it themselves, they ran to Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu.
"Grandpa, you eat."
"Grandma, you eat."
The brother and sister said in unison.
Mrs. Su looked at it and nodded secretly.
People with this kind of filial piety have naturally good character and can make people feel at ease when placed next to their sons and daughters.
When the little sugar baby gets the candied haws, he will naturally give it to his wife as soon as possible.
"Mom doesn't like it. It's too sour. You and your brothers can eat it."
Mrs. Su touched her little girl's head lovingly.
The little sugar baby looked at his fifth brother.
Su Laowu held a bunch of candied haws that Su Xiaoliu forced into his hand, and the expression on Jun's face was a little embarrassed.
He felt that he was an adult, not a child, and felt a little embarrassed to eat the candied haws like this.
However, it is indeed a bit heart-warming.
The candied haws in my hand seemed to bring back memories of when I was a kid, and the brothers shared a bunch of candied haws.
"Fifth brother, the sages and saints often used food as the theme, recited poems and composed poems. How could you do this without eating?" Little Sugar Baby said with a smile: "I also heard from Brother Yang that some people deliberately share candy with children for the sake of eating.
I’m just looking for that kind of inspiration and childlike fun.”
After listening to his sister's words, Su Laowu felt like he was enlightened.
"Sister is right, fifth brother is rigid." Su Laowu said with a smile.
After saying that, he took a big bite of a hawthorn fruit covered in syrup.
The sweet and sour feeling immediately filled the mouth, and those childhood memories also came flooding back...
The little sugar baby ate two hawthorns and gave the rest to Su Xiaoliu.
Then, he looked at Su Laowu and suggested: "Fifth brother, if you feel uncomfortable living in the academy, why not live here?"
Su Laowu shook his head.
"No need, Wang Rusheng and Zhang Changhao have been expelled, and the school building is actually clean."
"I wonder if the county magistrate uncle can find evidence to punish that bad guy?" The little sugar baby said in a milky voice: "That big bad guy is too bad!"
Su Laowu smiled and said, "If he can be hit by bird droppings and stung by wasps, he has already avenged Fifth Brother."
As for finding evidence and punishing Zhai Ruyu, Su Laowu had never thought about it.
After all, Magistrate Zheng is just a small seventh-grade magistrate.
Even if the person who gave Wang Rusheng money was found, Zhai Ruyu would not be able to implicate him.
"Fifth brother, you should go home more often in the future." Little Tangbao said seriously: "My master's knowledge is better than that of the masters in the academy. It will definitely be of great benefit to let him teach you."
"Okay, Fifth Brother will often go back to ask Master Yu for advice."
"Yeah, my master will definitely teach you well."
After all, I have the back door, the little sugar baby thought proudly.
Su Laowu seemed to have guessed his sister's thoughts, and he hugged the little sugar baby lovingly, feeling warm in his heart.
