Chapter 164 The Strange Invader

Fortunately, Nanny Hong's health had improved, and she also took on the work of sewing cloth bags. At night, she helped Nanny Hong thread the needle.

At the end of the day, there was almost no idle time, but she did not feel tired at all. Compared with the previous hunger and cold, they could at least eat well and wear warm clothes.

Nanny Hong said that the money they earned now was more than the monthly salary of the mansion, and as long as they spent frugally, they could save a large amount of dowry for her.

Although she didn't know why she had to save dowry, Nanny Hong would not harm her, so she just saved it.

"When I came here, I told Nanxing that you don't have to go to her place today. I'll go out and buy you some things for study later."

In fact, the family already has these things. Gan Tian took them out from the system mall, but those pens, ink, paper and inkstones are relatively large and not suitable for girls.

If it was a naughty boy at home, he could just make do with them, but how could Tangtang, a girl, be so fooled.

Pan Niang simply discussed with Yu Wenshu and took the children out to relax in the afternoon.

After Pan Niang steamed the buns, she took the children to have a simple meal and went out.

Gan Huai Zhong is the oldest child. He has grown a lot taller these days and looks like a teenager in his teens. If he doesn't speak, it's hard to imagine that he is only nine years old.

He walked in front, holding Gan Tian, ​​while the third son of the Yu family, Yu Wenchuan, walked side by side with him, and Yu Tianfu and Yu Tianshou followed closely behind. Gan Huaibi held Shen Chutang's hand and walked slowly behind.

Pan Niang and Yu Wenshu followed behind.

The whole family was lively and noisy.

Pan Niang didn't know how to choose these study supplies, but Yu Wenshu knew. He was not stingy and bought two exquisite and small wool pens for Shen Chutang to use for daily calligraphy practice.

The two pens only cost ten cents.

But he didn't stop, but bought another wolf-hair brush for six taels of silver.

Yu Tianfu looked at Shen Chutang with envy: "Daddy is so good to you. I have always dreamed of having a wolf-hair brush, but Daddy said that learning is not about the brush, but about the heart, so he never bought it for me."

Shen Chutang's hands were shaking as she held the brush.

This was six taels of silver!

When would she be able to earn so much money?

She hurriedly stuffed the brush into Yu Tianfu's hands.

"Tangtang doesn't want it, give it to Brother Tianfu."

Yu Tianfu sneered: "Look at you, you call me brother, how can I, as your brother, snatch it from you?"

Gan Huairen lowered his eyes and said softly: "Tangtang, since it is given to you, just keep it. You must study hard and don't let your uncle down."

Yu Wenshu coughed twice: "Don't be jealous, you guys are either my sons or my nephews, Tangtang is different."

"She is considered my student, this is a gift for apprenticeship."

[Redefine the gift for apprenticeship.]

Pan Niang nodded in agreement.

Isn't it a redefinition!

The gift for apprenticeship has always been given by students to their teachers, but it's the other way around when it comes to my husband.

After buying the pen, the other things naturally cannot be left behind.

Ink block, inkstone, pen holder, paper... all in all it cost ten taels of silver.

When passing by Huiyan Pavilion, Pan Niang went to deliver steamed buns, and couldn't help but mention to Hui Niang how expensive the ink, paper and inkstone are now.

Hui Niang smiled and said, "Scholars' things are very expensive, there's nothing we can do about it."

"I like Tangtang, but you and your brother can't take all the money. I'll pay half."

Hui Niang took a cloth bag that Xiu Niang had just made from Huiyan Pavilion. There was only one model of this cloth bag, which was particularly large and had beautiful straps so it could be easily carried on the body.

"The weather is getting colder. It's so cold these days that you can't even stretch out your hands. You can put some of the things you carry with you in it. This cloth bag is very sturdy and can hold a lot of things."

Hui Niang found some small toys suitable for little girls in the shop and put them all into the cloth bag.

Shen Chutang touched the cloth bag embarrassedly and whispered, "Thank you."

Hui Niang couldn't help but kiss the little girl.

Shen Chutang lowered her head in shame, wishing she could crawl into the ground.

The things in Huiyan Pavilion are sold to female guests. The men refused to come in no matter what and just wandered at the door.

Pan Niang only said a few words to Hui Niang and left with the children.

When they passed the city gate, the city gate suddenly became noisy and many people ran over to see the excitement.

From a distance, Gan Tian saw the handsome boy begging at the door: "Please, sir, please let us in."

"We finally found it. We spent a lot of time and effort on the way. We really don't have the money to go anywhere else."

The boy's family members were so hungry that they knelt behind the boy and begged him.

They were all adults with hands and feet, but they were kneeling behind a child and asking the child to plead for them. It was weird.

[They don't look like family members, but subordinates.]

How could a family kneel so humbly behind a child?

This was the ancient times when filial piety was emphasized. Although everyone called the children brothers and sisters, it was actually a feudal patriarchal system.

According to the time calculation, the famine outside was at its worst. The boy's family was skinny and had obviously suffered a lot, but the boy was fair and tender, like a son of a wealthy family. It was obvious that he had eaten a lot of good food.

Gan Tian felt that he was weird.

This boy was just like a leech sucking human blood, sucking all the nutrients of the whole family and providing him with only one.

The guard at the city gate kicked the boy mercilessly: "Get out, do you think you can enter the king's palace whenever you want? If you have money, come in, if you don't have money, get out!"

The boy fell to the ground, his palms were worn by the sand and stones on the ground, and his family members behind him stood up immediately.

"How dare you push my son? I will fight with you."

The boy's family looked frail, but they were actually very strong and they easily pinned down the officer at the city gate.

"Ayu, come in quickly, don't worry about us."

Xiao Chengyu looked at his family with tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and was about to rush into the royal capital.

But how could there be only two guards guarding the gate of the royal capital? The moment he came in, he was surrounded.

"You little bastard, do you really think that these two eyes on my face are for venting anger?"

Xiao Chengyu was stepped on by someone, and his fair face was stained with a lot of dust. He looked extremely pitiful.

He kept struggling, trying to look around, trying to find someone who could help him.

When Gan Tian saw him put his eyes on his uncle, she suddenly had an ominous premonition.

[He is not looking for help from his uncle, is he? Gan Tian

looked around and saw that the people who were having fun were either women or raggedy hooligans. Only her uncle looked the most reliable. Moreover, she brought a group of children with her. She looked like someone who was easy to bully and had a soft heart.

If she were asked to choose one of these people to help her, she would choose her uncle without hesitation.

There was no way, her uncle looked like a bad guy.
