December 24, 289 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

morning.

Acanrea horse station.

On a luxury carriage that is about to go to Pendragon.

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

"This is how the pleasant hot spring trip ends! It was so fun! Let's go on a trip together like this next time!"

Su Cheng and the other four will set off back to Pendragon this morning.

Yesterday morning, I went shopping with Kai Luoer for a while, and after buying gifts for Deng Jiaer and Alan, they returned to the hotel.

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

Afterwards, the four of them had lunch outside casually, and then played around in Acanrea together. After playing around for a whole afternoon, they went to soak in a hot spring again in the evening.

Then in the morning of the next day, it was time to set off back to Pendragon.

Arrive in Acanrea in the evening of December 22 and return to Pendragon in the morning of December 24.

Su Cheng didn't know what the other three people thought of this trip. Anyway, Su Cheng was quite satisfied with this short trip of one day and two nights.

However, looking at the expressions on the faces of Kailuo and the others, they seemed to be very satisfied with their trip to the hot springs.

By the way, the gift Su Cheng bought for Deng Jiaer yesterday was a very famous local specialty of Acanrea called "Acanrea Cookies".

The gift I bought for Alan was a pillow that was very comfortable to sleep on.

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

One loves to eat, the other is sleepy.

After receiving the gift, these two people seemed to be very satisfied with the gift they received.

At this time, Deng Jiaer, who was sitting in the carriage, was holding a biscuit bag and munching on the biscuits.

While chewing, he showed a happy expression.

I seem to like this biscuit very much.

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

Judging from Alan's expression, he seemed to be very comfortable leaning on this pillow.

Yesterday, Kailuoer and Deng Jiaer, who received Su Cheng's gifts, also sent gifts in return to Su Cheng.

What Kailuoer gave to Su Cheng in return was a quill.

What Deng Jiaer gave Su Cheng in return was a large box of ink, which contained 12 cans of ink.

Su Cheng was quite satisfied with the two gifts that the two men gave him in return.

The quill pen that Su Cheng is using now was bought 2 years ago. After using it for more than 2 years, it has become a little difficult to write with. Now it is time to replace it with a new one.

Su Cheng doesn't usually write much, so more than half of the can of ink he is using is still unused.

And now Deng Jiaer gave him 12 cans of ink. Su Cheng really didn't know how long he would use so much ink...

However, these don't matter. Ink tanks don't take up much space anyway. Maybe you will encounter a time when you need to use a lot of ink in the future, so you can stock up on them to prepare for emergencies.

By the way, Alan was the only one who didn't give Su Cheng any gift in return.

Su Cheng also expressed his understanding of this.

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

If he received a gift from Alan in return, Su Cheng would still feel a little sorry, because Alan was so poor that Su Cheng couldn't bear to accept the gift from Alan.

Alan and Deng Jiaer are both only 14 years old, and the legal age of female adulthood in the Britannia Empire is 15.

In other words, neither Alan nor Deng Jiaer has reached adulthood.

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

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

Of course, the two of them were given extremely sizable bounties for their activities in the counter-insurgency operations a few months ago and the rescue operation in the Kingdom of Lund not long ago.

However, the bounty the two of them received during the counter-insurgency campaign, together with the bounty Su Cheng received during the counter-insurgency campaign, were used to purchase the mansion where the four of them now live.

In other words, the bounties the two men obtained during the counter-insurgency operations were all used up not long after they were obtained.

In the recent rescue battle in the Kingdom of Lund, the bounty the two received was much less than the bounty they received in the counter-insurgency battle.

During the rescue battle in the Kingdom of Lund, Alan was still active. He saved Nicholas and knocked Alan off his horse so that the soldiers of the Britannia Army could capture him alive. Therefore, the bounty he received was quite generous and he received a sufficient amount of money.

1 million British pounds.

In the rescue battle of the Lunde Kingdom, Deng Jiaer, who had basically no sense of presence, only received 2,000 yinglang.

Su Cheng asked Deng Jiaer to keep these 2,000 Yinglang and use them as he pleased.

And Su Cheng half-forced to take all of Alan's 1 million Yinglang.

The reason why Su Cheng did this is very simple: Alan is underage, and allowing an underage girl to have such a huge sum of money all at once can easily have a negative impact on her growth.

Alan has no relatives except Su Cheng, his sworn brother. Therefore, Su Cheng positions himself as Alan's brother and guardian.

As Alan's guardian, Su Cheng feels that he has the obligation to take full responsibility for Alan's growth.

Therefore, for the sake of Alan's growth, Su Cheng half-forced himself to take in all of Alan's 1 million pounds.

When "snatching" the 1 million Yinglong from Alan, who had tears in his eyes and a face full of reluctance, in order to make Alan pay the money obediently, Su Cheng made a promise to Alan: When Alan gets married, he will

Return the 1 million Yinglang to her.

The naive Alan thought at the time: He would come back in the future anyway, so just treat it as being temporarily kept by his brother!

So, half-heartedly, the naive Alan handed over all her 1 million Yinglong to Su Cheng.

If Alan could learn about "inflation" in economics, she would definitely realize how stupid her decision was.

How can one million Yinglang today be the same as one million Yinglang ten years from now?

As a result, Su Cheng took away all the bounties Alan obtained in this battle.

Ah, by the way, Su Cheng paid for all the expenses for this hot spring trip from Alan's 1 million pounds.

Therefore, in order to allow the two people with no income to have their own funds that they can spend freely, Su Cheng gave them 1,000 British pounds as pocket money every month.

In other words, Alan and Deng Jiaer can receive 1,000 yinglang from Su Cheng every month.

1,000 Yinglong, which is quite generous as pocket money.

Although Su Cheng didn't know how Deng Jiaer handled the 1,000 pocket money every month, judging from the fact that she never asked Su Cheng for more money every month, Deng Jiaer seemed to have just enough money every month.

Enough to spend, or something to spare.

But Alan is different!

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

Alan is very good at spending money. She buys a lot of new board games and toys every month.

For some reason in this different world, the board game culture is particularly prosperous. There are hundreds of various board games on the market.

Alan seems to be particularly interested in board games, and he comes back with a large number of new board games every month.

Board games in this different world are extremely expensive, so every month Alan can spend all his pocket money before the middle of the month.

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

Naturally, Su Cheng would not just give it to her stupidly. Su Cheng would assign a lot of tasks to Alan, such as cleaning the toilet, running errands for him, taking care of today's hygiene for him, etc. All he could do was wait for Alan.

After completing the tasks Su Cheng left for her, Su Cheng would give her additional pocket money.

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

This kind of drama happens to Alan every month.

Therefore, Su Cheng knew how poor Alan was, and the little pocket money she had now was basically the "hard-earned money" earned from helping Su Cheng work.

Because of this, Su Cheng understood very well that Alan was the only one who did not give him a gift in return.

In fact, even if Kailuo and the others didn't give him gifts in return, Su Cheng wouldn't think anything of it. After all, he didn't give them gifts just to receive gifts in return.

Su Cheng gave them gifts to make them happy.

As long as they were happy, Su Cheng didn't think it mattered whether they gave him gifts in return or not.

At this moment, the coachman's voice finally came from the front of the carriage:

"Guests! The train is about to depart! Please sit tight! We will probably arrive at Pendragon this afternoon!"

As soon as the carriage driver finished speaking, Su Cheng felt the entire carriage move. The carriage he was in began to move forward, and the speed became faster and faster.

Ah...the trip is over...are you going home...

Su Cheng was thinking secretly at this moment.
Chapter completed!
