Wen Xiucai's carriage stopped outside the Xu family's courtyard.

An Ning packed up and got into the car.

The old lady and Xu Minruo chased out.

Xu Minruo delivered the steaming snacks to the car: "Auntie, grandfather, this is for you to eat on the road." ”

Wen Xiucai smiled and thanked Xu Minruo, and An Ning waved to the old lady again: "Mother, it's cold outside, you should go home quickly." ”

Seeing that the carriage was getting farther and farther, Xu Minruo helped the old lady into the house.

The old lady was not close to Xu Minruo at first.

It's not that the old lady doesn't want to love her granddaughter, it's really what Feng did that made the old lady look down on her, plus Feng didn't let the children in the family come to the old lady, and scared the children, so that the children felt that the old lady was terrible, and they would shrink back in fear when they saw her, and over time, the old lady didn't look down on the children born by Feng.

But Xu Minruo has been at home for so many days now, she will work very diligently every day, she is also very filial to the old lady, and she is so respectful to An Ning, her temperament is also what the old lady likes, naturally, the old lady is also good to her.

People's hearts are long, even if they are outsiders for a long time, they will have feelings, let alone their own granddaughters.

The old lady looked at the calluses in Xu Minruo's palms, and took the facial fat left by An Ning and applied a thick layer to her palms.

"Big girl, you have worked hard during this time, but you also know the situation of our family, the old and the young, you will do more, let's endure for another ten days, and wait for your aunt to sell embroidery and have money, your aunt said, make money to buy a house, then you are also the eldest lady of the family, we will not work, you are okay when you learn some skills from your aunt, this person, everything is empty, only learn the ability of the hand is your own. ”

Xu Minruo smiled and nodded: "I listen to milk." ”

She happily brought the old lady a snack and made tea, and then went to the kitchen to make breakfast humming a little song.

An Ning and Wen Xiu only traveled for a day to reach Fucheng.

Fucheng is much more prosperous than the town and the county, if people who have never been to Fucheng are afraid that they don't know what to do.

Fortunately, Wen Xiu has been here many times, and he is familiar with Fucheng.

He took An Ning to find an inn to clean up first, and only after settling down did he post his friend.

Wen Xiucai's friend is surnamed Lu, and he is also a Xiucai, who studied with Wen Xiucai in the academy in Fucheng back then.

He and Wen Xiucai have a similar temper, they are very good, and they have never broken off for so many years.

Lu Xiucai's wife is the daughter of the Huang family, of course, she is not the daughter of Mrs. Huang, but the concubine of the second room of the Huang family.

Even if she is a concubine, her relationship with the Huang family is very close.

And the eldest daughter of this Lu Huang family and Mrs. Huang has always had a very good relationship, and she is also very close to the long house.

She also knew that Mrs. Huang was going to have a big birthday, and her children and grandchildren were busy preparing birthday gifts for her.

He wanted to find a special birthday gift for Mrs. Huang that could please the old man, but unfortunately, Mrs. Huang lived for such an age, she grew up in a nest of wealth, and she had never seen anything good, so it was not easy to find something that she could look at.

Huang Zhongren is now anxious about this.

Lu Huang also wanted to find a good birthday gift for her brother, and she had been inquiring about it all this time.

Coincidentally, I received a post today, and Lu Huang found Lu Xiucai: "Wen Xiucai's post." ”

Lu Xiucai took it and looked at it, and then looked at Lu Huang's: "Brother Wen will visit tomorrow, he loves to eat fish the most, you let people find two good fish, and he brought his daughter, you can also stay at home to entertain female guests for me." ”

Lu Huang smiled: "Cheng, I remember that Wen Xiucai's daughter is already married, is there something wrong with coming this time?"

Lu Xiucai said: "It's married, but it's a pity that it's a hard life, after she got married, she also loved her husband and wife, and her husband was also very talented and learned, and she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses within a few years of marriage, and suddenly she had both children and daughters, and she saw that her life was about to get up, but when she was rushing to take the exam, she ran into robbers and died in order to save the lives of her classmates." ”

Lu Huang really didn't know about it.

When he heard this, he was shocked: "There is such a thing, and this child is really miserable." ”

Lu Xiucai said again: "This child has a good hand in embroidery, this time she embroidered a statue of Guanyin, her family is now a little difficult, so she wants to take it to Fucheng and sell it, Brother Wen wants us to help see who wants to buy it......"

When Lu Huang heard that it was a Guanyin statue, he immediately had an idea: "Let her bring it to us to see, if it is good, it is better for us to buy it as a birthday gift, don't I have a birthday gift here." ”

Lu Xiucai also had this plan: "The two of us think the same, I'm afraid that Brother Wen will think more." ”

Lu Huang smiled: "I will talk to Wen at that time." ”

This also made Lu Xiucai nod and discuss it with Lu Huang again, and then he replied to Wen Xiucai.

Early in the morning, An Ning took embroidery with Wenxiu and went to Lu's house.

Lu Xiucai had already packed up and waited for him.

The pair of friends haven't seen each other for more than a year, so they naturally have endless words to say when they meet.

Lu Huang smiled and pulled An Ning into the room to speak.

She looks at An Ningchang's beauty, her bearing is good, and she is generous when she speaks, but she has a gentle look, and she can't help but like it.

"Since you're here, I'll stay a little longer, in the future, when I come to Fucheng, I just have to live at home, your father is too, and our lord has been a friend for many years and is so polite, every time I come back, I have to stay in the inn, the inn can have a good home, and it is inconvenient everywhere. ”

An Ning smiled: "Aunt is kind to stay, I shouldn't shirk it, it's just that my father has never liked to trouble people, and we live here coldly, and we have to work hard for my aunt to clean up everywhere, if it is a long stay, it will be fine, but it will be back in a few days, it is really not worth it, it is not as simple as the guest house." ”

"You're such a nice kid. ”

Lu Huang didn't want to let go of An Ning's hand: "It's strange that your father hid it so tightly and didn't take you out, I still see it for the first time when I grow so big, and I can't love it when I see it like this." ”

As she spoke, she took a bracelet and put it on An Ning's hand: "This is a meeting gift from my aunt, take it." ”

An Ning got up and thanked him: "The elder gave it, I should not resign, so I accepted it with a cheeky face." ”

An Ning accompanied Lu Huang to talk for a while, and then took out the embroidered statue of Guanyin.

When this embroidered statue was unfolded, a golden light flashed, Lu Huang was startled, and then concentrated on looking at the embroidered statue.

She thinks she is also knowledgeable, and when she was in her mother's house, she often went out with her mother-in-law as a guest, and saw a lot of good embroidery, but she had never seen this embroidery like this.

The goddess of mercy in the embroidered statue seems to be alive, and seems to be looking at her with compassion.

This made Lu Huang couldn't help but put his hands together and silently recite a scripture.

She walked a few steps, and when she looked at the embroidered statue again, Guanyin's eyes were still looking at her, Lu Huang was startled, and stood down in a different direction, and saw Guanyin's compassionate gaze.

"This, this ......"

An Ning smiled: "This is a technique, I pondered it myself, no matter where my aunt stands, it is as if she is being watched by a bodhisattva." ”

Lu Huang nodded, and when she looked closely, she found that the Guanyin in the statue seemed to be glowing, and the lotus platform under her seat was also shining with golden light, making her whole person even more holy.

"This, this portrait is so good. ”

Lu Huang didn't dare to touch it, so Anning hurriedly put it away: "I, I'll let someone send a letter to my sister-in-law, my eldest brother is looking for a birthday gift, if you get this embroidered statue, I'm afraid I won't be able to look at the things next to me anymore." ”
