Bai Erlang was finally stuffed by Mrs. Bai into the carriage to go to the county town with Bai Shanbao and the others to choose abacuses.
The Bai Family was not short of money, so Mrs. Bai generously gave Bai Erlang a purse and said, "Get a good one, and once you've learned how to use it, you can help Mother with the accounts."
Bai Erlang replied sulkingly, but soon after the carriage started moving, he cast this annoyance aside and cheered up.
The three little friends squeezed together in front of the window, watching the flowers, grass, and trees outside.
Although they often saw these sights while walking, the view from the carriage seemed especially different.
Manbao suggested sitting on the shaft of the carriage.
As the coachman, Daji refused.
Miss Manbao sitting out there would surely lead the two young masters to do the same, and this road was not easy to navigate. If they were jolted off, should he save his own young master first, Miss Manbao, or the elder young master?
