Having said that, Wang, who was originally an embroiderer, also had an avant-garde aesthetic. She intuitively felt that these dolls would definitely look good, so she carefully began to embroider flowers on the satin specified by Chen Afu.
After a while, they heard Mrs. Hu's loud voice from the old courtyard, but they ignored her. If she wanted to do something, she could do it and see if Tangyuan was something she could afford.
It turned out that last night when Mrs. Hu returned home, she heard from her little girl Chen Aju that Hu Cuicui said that Mr. Luo drove a carriage to the second room yesterday, and someone seemed to have seen him take out a lot of beautiful satin from the carriage.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hu gritted her teeth and cursed, "You black-hearted thing, you didn't give us good things, but only some crappy candies and snacks. I bought some cotton and fine cloth to make a cotton-padded jacket for your father, and your father was so touched. You stingy thing, you only gave that crappy thing to your grandma and your father, and didn't even give it to me."
Chen Aju said coquettishly, "Mother, go to the second room and ask for some satin for me. I want to make some beautiful clothes."
Mrs. Hu nodded in agreement and added, "Make two more for your uncle and Cuicui."
After she returned to her room, she angrily said to Chen Ye, "I've said before that Second Uncle is not as honest as Third Uncle, but you didn't believe me. You worked as hard for his family as if you were working for your own family. Yesterday, many families in the village saw that Manager Luo gave a lot of satin to the Second House, but they hid it and only gave our family some candy and snacks..."
Chen Ye felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that Chen Ming was hiding something. He always felt that brothers should unite and help each other. He was willing to help his brothers, but he hoped that his brothers would not forget his efforts and keep him in mind.
Before, Mrs. Hu often said that Chen Ming was not as good as Chen Shi, but he didn't want to listen, and he was particularly unhappy that Mrs. Hu asked Chen Ming for things. He felt that his second brother's family was poor and had a hard time. Now that his second brother's family is better off, he often thinks of him and often brings food to the family, which makes him very happy. He doesn't care about the food, he is happy that Chen Ming cares about him.
But if they really got so much satin and hid it without telling him, it would be hard to explain.
If I tell him, will he still be able to rob them?
He didn't want to let Mrs. Hu know what he was thinking, so he said, "What nonsense are you talking about? My second brother is not that kind of person. Those people must have seen it wrong and are making up stories."
Mrs. Hu didn't believe that those people were wrong. She always felt that the second house was dishonest. Some embroiderers could earn several taels of silver a month, but Mrs. Wang said that she couldn't even earn one tael. If you pretend to be poor every day, no one will believe you.
She thought about it for most of the night and still felt that she should let Da Hu and Daya go with Da Bao to Tang Garden. She always felt that her grandchildren were much better than Da Bao. Since Da Bao could please Mr. Luo and the nobles, her grandchildren should be even more pleasing. Even if the master of Tang Garden had a little gap in his fingers, it would be enough for her family to eat and use.
She waited until Chen Ye and Chen Agui went to work, then secretly brought Da Hu and Daya here.
When Dabao saw the three of them coming, he asked them to sit in the yard and said he would wait for Manager Luo to pick him up. He also said that Grandpa and Uncle were not feeling well and were still sleeping in bed, and Grandma was busy outside.
Mrs. Hu wanted to go to the new courtyard, but she saw that the door was locked. There were people sleeping in the two rooms, so she couldn't go in. She could only sit in the courtyard with the children.
Da Hu and Daya were having fun playing with Qi Qi, Hui Hui and Zhui Feng. Mrs. Hu was thinking about something while looking at the two birds.
At about two quarters past nine, Manager Luo arrived.
As soon as Dabao saw Manager Luo, he quickly stood up and greeted him, "Grandpa Luo."
Manager Luo's face darkened slightly, and he was angry. He had already explained to the family that he would not have any idea of taking advantage of the child and the parrot, and he brought so much satin and gifts yesterday. Even if they were asked to make dolls, how much satin would they need? It was because his master was merciful that he wanted to take more and let them make clothes with the rest. He also specifically said that the child should go to Tangyuan by himself.
I initially thought that this family was sensible and would let the child go by himself today, but in the end they still brought Qiaodi and waited for him to pick him up.
He didn't go in either, but stood outside the fence and said, "Dabao, I'm here to pick you up, let's go."
Dabao didn't move. He pointed at the two children beside him and said, "This is my brother Dahu, and this is my sister Daya. They also want to go to Tangyuan with me."
Manager Luo looked at Da Hu and Daya in a daze. He had already inquired about it and found out that Dabao had no brothers or sisters. He must be the child of the eldest wife of the Chen family.
Mrs. Hu, who had been standing there, finally got the chance to speak. She came over and said with a smile, "Hello, Manager Luo. I am Dabao's great grandmother. This is my grandson Dahu and granddaughter Daya. In terms of intelligence, they are much smarter than Dabao. They also want to go with Dabao to play with the little noble. More children will make it more lively, right?"
Because she was going to meet Mr. Luo, Mrs. Hu dressed up. She took out a set of lake blue embroidered silk jacket from the bottom of the box and put it on. She also put two silver hairpins on her hair, put on Jin Dingxiang, and put on rouge. But the jacket didn't fit her well. She asked Zhang, the wife of Chen Shi, who returned home a few years ago. Even with the edges loosened, it was still a little short and thin.
Manager Luo had never seen such a shameless woman. He snorted in his heart, thinking that Tangyuan was just a small forest at the east end of the village, so he could go there whenever he wanted? Not to mention that his young master was ill and couldn't see strangers, even if he wasn't ill, these peasants couldn't see him whenever they wanted.
Seeing that Manager Luo was standing there in silence, Mrs. Hu laughed again and said, "Dabao's mother was originally a fool, very stupid. Dabao is not smart either, not as smart as my child."
Mrs. Hu's words made Chen Dabao so angry that his face turned red. He twisted his fingers and dared not say a word.
Manager Luo was so smart. As soon as he heard what Mrs. Hu said and saw the scene, he knew what was going on. He always thought that this family was sensible and would not do anything wrong. It turned out that there were several people waiting here. This was bullying enough. She said that her mother was a fool in front of the child, and the child didn't dare to say anything. He must have been used to being bullied by this woman.
Manager Luo's face became even more gloomy and his aura was full. Daya was so scared that she hugged Hu's legs and hid behind her. Da Hu didn't dare to step forward.
Mrs. Hu was so angry that she smiled at Manager Luo and pulled Daya forward. Daya was scared and started crying.
Seeing Hu's behavior, Dabao's face turned even redder. No matter how much he hated Hu, she was still his relative, and she had also lost him.
Manager Luo sneered, "Just because your child is smart, you have to play with my young master? What a joke. There are many people in this world who think they are smart. Can my young master stand up to them?"
Mrs. Hu didn't expect this to happen. Her child was indeed better than Dabao. She quickly added, "I'm not talking nonsense. It's true that my child is smarter. I heard that your little master is a girl, so she should like playing with girls more..."
