Chapter 427: Trip to Qingzhou.
Seeing Duke Shun and his wife staring at him, Lan Zhuo added: "The border is now stable. My mother and I live in Shaocheng. The girls' school there is very good. The children of many generals study together, and the husband is also very good." , and there are also dedicated nuns for education.
Dad, the second general, and many generals can come back twice a month to Shaocheng, and they can stay for three or four days at a time, which is very good. "
Seeing Lan Sui smiling when she spoke, she must be very satisfied with her current situation.
The children were very happy to have another playmate, but when Dalang saw Lan Zhuo talking about Xijiang, his heart was full of yearning.
Duke Shun Guo asked his wife and didn't ask any more questions. Li Yan took the two old people to Fu Luyuan to see his mother-in-law, and let Chu Chu and the twins take their children to play.
Knowing that Chu Chu was going to Qingzhou after the new year, everyone also wanted to spend more time with her. Especially as the day of the trip was approaching, everyone felt a little sad.
Only Hongying was still carefree and cheerful as always, as if Chu Chu's departure would not affect her at all, unlike when she was inseparable from Chu Chu when she was sent to the north.
Sure enough, when you grow up a year, your emotions can change so much.
Mingming cried twice, and held Chu Chu's hand and begged several times: "If Chu Chu doesn't come back to Qingzhou, what will I do?"
She said it as if she was parting from life or death. Those who didn't know better thought that Chu Chu was her biological sister, and even slept with Chu Chu for two nights. She was really clingy.
On the night of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Grandma Chen and Grandma Yan came to the capital, but stayed in Yan Mansion that night.
I sent Granny Zhou to pass on the news, saying that she would come back tomorrow to celebrate the birthdays of the two sisters.
The next day, two cars came from the Yan Mansion. One car was filled with Grandma Yan, Grandma Chen and their little aunt. On November 11, they also brought a cart full of birthday gifts.
"This is too much." Even Li Yan had a headache when he saw it. He looked at his aunt reproachfully, feeling that they spent too much money and the gift was too heavy, even for a pet child.
"These are all made by family members and the children in the village. Even the village chief, clan elders and the elders from Fu'an Hall gave one as a gift. The birthday gift is everyone's wish. How can it be too much?
It seemed that it was probably because the second uncle, Dayang, and Heidan took advantage of the few days of rest during the New Year to build a set of desks and chairs for Fubao to study. "
Watching the servants and guards move it down, the first thing they saw was a bookcase and a chair.
"Yeah! This is according to what Chu Chu wants."
It turned out that when Chu Chu wrote the letter back, she brought a blueprint with her, which she also bought with Space for 500 gold coins.
Chu Chu didn't say what she wanted. She just thought that she could earn a lot of money from this, so she could buy it as a New Year's gift for her second uncle.
Unexpectedly, her second uncle delivered the first item to her. This made Chuchu very touched and felt the deep love and affection.
The bookcase has three floors. The upper two floors can hold many books, dolls and sundries, but the bottom floor extends outwards and can be folded in. There is a gap at the bottom. The stool can be moved in when it is not in use. When the time comes, move it outwards, which is very space-saving and concise.
The main reason is that there is no such method on the market now. It looks novel and unique, and it is the first of its kind even in Beijing.
"Chu Chu, we have to ask our second uncle to help us make a set." Hongying looked jealous and felt that now that she can read and write, she should have a set.
"I also want."
"I also want."
……
How could a child not like such a practical and beautiful thing? Everyone signed up and rushed to buy it. Hongying even handed the red New Year seal on her hand directly to Chu Chu's hand, with a hint of wanting to seize the opportunity. , I feel that if I pay the money first, I will surely receive the desk as soon as possible.
"Miss, the second uncle specially chose walnut wood for this set. He asked the lady to see if he was satisfied with it? He said there was something that needed to be changed, and asked the lady to write to him. After the year, he would follow the lady's advice and make it. Go too far.
During the Chinese New Year, I hired several young apprentices, saying that I would make hundreds of sets during the holidays and sell them all to the capital!
If there are more, they will also be sold to Xiangzhou County. "
Grandma Zhou's words made the children even happier. They felt that as long as they were transported to the capital, they would not be short of them.
"Okay, Chu Chu likes it so much. Please help me move into the house quickly. I think the second uncle's work is much better than the one on the drawing? Uncle Zimo, I will write a letter later. Please help me It was said to Taohua Village that the second uncle must make all the walnut wood, so that they can be sold at a high price in the capital!
However, I have to ask my second uncle for a discount on the desks sold to my friends. "
Chu Chu helped and said good things, which made the group of children following him even more happy, feeling as if they had found a treasure.

Time always flies by quickly, and it’s the twentieth of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye.
This time I was not in such a hurry, there was no point in going out before dawn.
But it was still early. Li Yan specifically confessed that he didn't tell the other children Chu Chu's departure time, so as not to waste time crying and not being able to go out for several hours.
Then it will take a long time to coax the child, which will give me a headache.
This time, Grandma Yan only brought Grandma Zhou and Shi Yi, and Grandma Chen also brought a mother-in-law and a boy. There were only two cars in total.
There were more people and carriages on Chu Chu's side. Three carriages brought Qiuli, August, Luo Mei and four other maids. She didn't want to bring so many maids.
But both mother and father said that they were going to do something this time. Although it was not as dangerous as last time, there were more people and they could greet them directly. It was convenient for them to do everything by themselves.
The other car was filled with things that my grandparents gave to my uncle and aunt, including food and daily necessities that were in short supply in Qingzhou.
As for the letters written by grandpa and his parents to his uncle, they were also given to Zimo to take with him to prevent Chu Chu from losing them.
The journey was long and they were all women, so Zimo still brought eight bodyguards. In addition to their good skills, the ones chosen this time were all smart and not that old. According to Uncle Zimo, it was also for the convenience of helping the young lady go out to do errands. .
Whatever is given to Zimo, he will consider it very carefully. Even Shun Guogong and his wife admire this. They are amazed at these small details.
Mother and two brothers still sent Chu Chu to Wuliting. They had agreed long ago that they would meet the two grandmothers at Wuliting early in the morning.
Unexpectedly, the grandmothers came earlier than them and were already standing in the pavilion when they arrived.
