December 24, 289 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.

morning.

Acarrea carriage station.

On a luxury carriage heading for pandragon.

Alan, sitting in a comfortable chair, stretched greatly and said:

"The pleasant hot spring trip is over! What fun! Let's travel together like this next time! "

The four of Su Cheng will leave for pandragon this morning.

Yesterday morning, I wandered around with Carol again. After buying gifts for Deng Jia'er and Alan, they returned to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Deng Jiaer and Alan just woke up.

Then, the four of them settled their lunch at will outside, and then played around in acarrea together. After a whole afternoon, they went to the hot spring again in the evening.

Then the next morning, it was time to set off for pandragon.

Arrive at akanrea in the evening of December 22 and return to pandragon in the morning of December 24.

Su Cheng doesn't know how the other three people feel about the trip. Anyway, Su Cheng is quite satisfied with the short trip of one day and two nights.

However, looking at the expressions on their 3 faces, they seem to be very satisfied with the hot spring trip.

By the way, the gift Su Cheng bought for Deng Jia'er yesterday was a very famous local specialty of akalaya - "akalaya biscuit".

The present bought for Alan is a pillow that is very comfortable to sleep.

These two gifts are very suitable for Deng Jiaer and Alan.

One likes eating and the other sleepy.

After receiving the gift, both of them seemed very satisfied with the gift they received.

At this time, Deng Jia'er sitting in the carriage was holding a biscuit bag and had to chew biscuits there.

While gnawing, he showed a happy expression.

I seem to like this biscuit very much.

At this time, Alan also put the pillow Su Cheng gave her behind him, and then leaned back against the pillow.

Looking at Alan's expression, leaning against this pillow seems very comfortable.

Yesterday, Carol and Deng Jiaer, who received Su Cheng's gift, also gave Su Cheng a gift in return.

What Carol gave back to Su Cheng was a goose feather pen.

What Deng Jiaer returned to Su Cheng was a large box of ink, which contained a full 12 cans of ink.

Su Cheng was quite satisfied with the two gifts returned to him.

Su Cheng bought this quill pen two years ago. It's been used for more than two years. It's hard to write. Now it's just a new one.

Su Cheng doesn't usually write much, so most of the ink he is using now hasn't been used up.

Now Deng Jiaer sent him a full 12 cans of ink. Su Cheng really doesn't know when so much ink will be used

However, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the ink tank doesn't occupy a place. Maybe when you need to use a lot of ink in the future, you can store it for a rainy day.

By the way, only Alan didn't return any gifts to Su Cheng.

Su Cheng also understood this very well.

Because as Alan's brother, he knows how poor Alan is!!

If Su Cheng receives the gift from Alan, he is still a little sorry, because Alan is so poor that Su Cheng can't bear to accept the gift from Alan.

Alan and dungar were both only 14 years old, while the legal age of majority for women in the British Empire was 15.

In other words, neither Alan nor Deng Jiaer is an adult.

According to the laws of the British Empire, minors are not allowed to engage in any work( Of course, those who regard the law as nothing (except those black hearted stores)

Alan and Deng Jiaer, who are not adults, naturally have no way to get income.

Of course, both of them were given a considerable reward for their certain activity in the counter insurgency war a few months ago and the rescue war of Lund kingdom not long ago.

However, the bounty they received in the counter insurgency war, together with the bounty Su Cheng received in the counter insurgency war, was used to buy the luxury house where the four of them now live.

In other words, the bounty they got in the anti rebel war was used up soon after they got it.

In the rescue war of Lund kingdom not long ago, the reward they received was much less than that obtained in the counter insurgency war.

In the rescue war of Lund Kingdom, Alan was still active. He saved Nicholas and knocked Alan off his horse, so that the soldiers of the British army could capture him alive. Therefore, he received a generous reward of 1 million British francs.

In the rescue war of Lund Kingdom, Deng Jiaer, who basically had no sense of existence, received only 2000 British francs.

Su Cheng asked Deng Jiaer to keep the 2000 yinglang and use it at will.

And Alan's 1 million British francs were half forcibly collected by Su Cheng.

The reason why Su Cheng did this is very simple - Alan is a minor, so that a minor girl can have such a huge sum of money at once, which can easily have a negative impact on her growth.

Alan has no relatives but Su Cheng. Therefore, Su Cheng's positioning of himself is Alan's brother and guardian.

As Alan's guardian, Su Cheng feels that he has an obligation to be responsible for Alan's growth.

Therefore, for the sake of Alan's growth, Su Cheng semi forcibly collected all Alan's 1 million British francs.

In order to make Alan pay the money obediently, Su Cheng made a promise to Alan: when Alan got married, he would return the 1 million British Lang to her.

Naive Alan thought at that time: anyway, he will come back in the future. Let's take it as a temporary custody for his brother!

So, after half pushing, the naive Alan handed over all her 1 million British francs to Su Cheng.

If Alan had studied "inflation" in economics, she would have noticed how stupid her decision was.

How can one million British francs today be the same as one million British francs 10 years later?

So Su Cheng took all the rewards Alan received in the war.

Ah, by the way, Su Cheng spent all the expenses of this hot spring trip from Alan's 1 million francs.

Therefore, in order to enable the two people without income to have their own funds that can be freely squandered, Su Cheng gives them 1000 British Lang of pocket money every month.

In other words, Alan and Deng Jiaer can receive 1000 British francs from Su Cheng every month.

1000 British Lang, as an allowance, is already quite generous.

Although Su Cheng doesn't know how Deng Jia'er handles the 1000 pocket money every month, it seems that Deng Jia'er has just enough money or surplus every month from the point of view that she never asks Su Cheng for more money every month.

And Alan is different!

Alan basically spends all his pocket money before the middle of each month!

Alan spends a lot of money. She buys a lot of new board games and toys every month.

Somehow, the board game culture is particularly prosperous in this strange world. There are hundreds of various board games on the market.

Alan seems to be particularly interested in table games. A large number of new board games come back every month.

The board games in this strange world are very expensive, so Alan can spend all his pocket money before the middle of the month every month.

Then Alan, who spent all her pocket money, would ask Su Cheng to give her more pocket money every month.

Naturally, Su Cheng won't give it to her foolishly. Su Cheng will assign a lot of tasks to Alan, such as cleaning the toilet, helping him run errands, and taking charge of today's sanitation for him. Su Cheng will give her additional pocket money only after Alan completes the tasks left by Su Cheng.

Spend all the money, ask Su Cheng for money, help Su Cheng do things, take the money, spend all the money, and then repeat the above steps.

——This drama happens to Alan every month.

Therefore, Su Cheng knows how poor Alan is. The little pocket money she has now is basically "hard-earned money" for helping Su Cheng do things.

For this reason, Su Cheng understands that only Alan didn't return gifts to him.

In fact, even if Carol and the three of them didn't return gifts to him, Su Cheng wouldn't feel anything. After all, he didn't give them gifts in order to receive their return gifts.

Su Cheng gave them gifts to make them happy.

As long as they can be happy, Su Cheng doesn't care whether they give him gifts back or not.

Just then, the voice of the coachman finally came from the front of the carriage:

"Guests! It's leaving! Please sit down! We'll probably arrive in Pendragon this afternoon! "

As soon as the coachman's voice fell, Su Cheng felt that the whole carriage moved. The carriage he was in began to move forward, and the speed was faster and faster.

Ah... The trip is over... Are you going home

Su Cheng thought to himself at this time.

At the thought of the end of this pleasant and memorable hot spring trip, Su Cheng suddenly felt lonely in his heart.
