10. Uncle

Miao heard Xiao Miao's reply, knowing that Mama Yao had gone to Qifang Pavilion, and she didn't say much on her face, but she was not very comfortable in her heart. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The old marquis is eccentric, even the servants who have served him are so eccentric, they are also the grandchildren of the old marquis, but she only has the two in the long room in her eyes. Before she could say anything, she rushed to post it, which was really unpleasant.

Thinking about the time when I decided on this family business, I don't know how many sisters I envied, the Miao family is just an ordinary official family, and the highest official of the clan is only a magistrate from the sixth grade, but she married such a prominent husband. She was full of joy to marry into the Hou Mansion, but found that her husband treated her very coldly, at first she was very worried, thinking that she was not doing something good, and then gradually knew what was going on from the mouth of her subordinates.

His husband never forgot the deceased original wife Cao, and married himself just so that she could take care of the son born to him and Cao, he was devoted to that kid, but he was indifferent to his two children, as a result, the sky has eyes, and that kid let Lord Yan take it away, and even the family affairs he planned to give to that kid were finally his son's! Now the entire Hou Mansion is his son's, but the dead ghost Cao and her son didn't get anything, hum......

"Old lady, the second uncle of the Fang family is here. Mama Li, who was wearing a brown cloth dress, walked in, Miao said.

"But what's wrong with Ming'er?" Miao was stunned.

"I said that I was here to give a gift to the court, and I had already met the Hou Ye, and I said that I was coming to say goodbye to the old lady. Seeing that Miao was about to get up, Mama Li hurriedly stretched out her hand to help, "Hosta, go make tea for your uncle, please sit down for a while." The hosta took the order and went out, and Mama Li took the purple calyx to wait for the Miao family to change into the clothes of the guests.

Fang Xi waited for only a cup of tea when he saw Mrs. Yao Miao come in, and hurriedly greeted Miao: "Is it good for the old lady to come in?" The vegetarian rice dumplings sent by the house are very chic, and my mother likes them very much. ”

"It's good to like it, our family wears filial piety, and we can only make some vegetarian ones and send them, I'm afraid that you won't look down on it!" Seeing Fang Xi say this, he knew that Xiao Miao did what he was told, and Miao was immediately satisfied.

"What did the old lady say, today the family got a new wine-making recipe, brewing vegetarian wine, the taste is quite flavorful, barely able to eat, thinking that the house may be able to use, so I brought some today. ”

"That's really good, no one in our family will do this, the outside buy is always unsatisfactory, the house says that it can be imported, I think it must be modest. I heard that the virtuous nephew has been released from the foreign office, when are you going to leave?"

"Yes, in Lianzhou. Fang Xi said, "I'm going to work after the holidays." So I came here today to give a gift to the house, and secondly, because the child's aunt was worried about the two children, thinking that this would be a few years, I was reluctant, and I was busy packing my bags, so I asked me to bring some things to Sister Qing and Brother Shen. ”

"It's rare that you are so busy, and you are still thinking about Sister Qing and Brother Shen. ”

"It's all their own flesh and blood, and besides, they have lost their mother since they were young, and it is also appropriate to be an uncle who hurts more. ”

"That's the reason!" Miao nodded, "In that case, I won't keep you anymore, so I will let people lead you to see them." ”

Fang Xi bowed and walked out with the girl who led the way, but he didn't know that the Miao family in the house changed his face as soon as he went out.

Is this because I am afraid that I will not be able to treat those two children poorly? The old marquis has only been gone for a few days, how many times have the people of the Fang family come to the door?

As soon as Fang Xi entered the courtyard, he saw that his niece's daughter and nephew in a plain white dress had already greeted him, and before the words of "Uncle ......" fell, Yao Qishen plunged into his arms.

Yao Keqing bowed to Fang Xifu, "Qing'er greets the second uncle." ”

"Shen'er also asked the second uncle to say goodbye. "Yao Qishen has a lot to learn.

"Well, Brother Shen is really good, and Sister Qing is good. Fang Xi took Shen'er in his arms, touched Yao Keqing's head and said with a smile, "Today, my uncle is here to send things for your grandmother and aunt, let's go and see what good things there are." Fang Xi rubbed Yao Qishen's face affectionately, held Yao Qishen with one hand, and pulled Yao Ke into the Qing Dynasty house with the other, and the girl behind her was busy holding things and followed in.

"You are now in the filial piety period, these plain ones are cut to make clothes, so let the bright ones be put first! Mama Fang is used to doing this, and if you think there is no mistake, just leave it to Mama!" Fang Xi pointed to a pile of fabrics and said to Mama Fang.

"Second uncle, don't worry! Catch Ming'er, the slave maid will let the needle and thread person measure the size, and it will be in a few days!" Mama Fang stepped forward and touched the material, and while looking at it, she pondered, "This Su Aya is made for the young master and the young lady, and the light unicorn-colored satin is thicker, so I made a robe for the young master, and then wear it when the weather is cold, the color of the yarn in the snow mountain is pure, and it is excellent to make a skirt for the young lady." ”

"Mama is an understander, just look at it. Fang Xi pointed to the two boxes and said: "This box contains bird's nest, mixed with milk and stewed, eating one meal a day is the most nourishing, there are a few calligraphy, two inkstones and a few pieces of ink." I heard that Brother Shen also opened Mengmeng, and he just used it, and the two inkstones happened to be one for each of your sisters and brothers. So saying, he took the inkstone, and handed it to one of them.

Yao Keqing took a look, it was a Venus texture inkstone, I only felt that it was solid and delicate, warm and moist like jade, the sound of the buckle, the caress of the skin, and the grinding of it like a front, it was the top grade of "slippery and non-rejecting the melon skin and the inside, the golden sound and the jade virtue", the piece in his hand was carved with a phoenix pattern, and the one in Shen'er's hand was a dragon pattern, thinking that this was a pair. In her previous life, she was a good calligrapher, a person who could read, and also collected a lot of good scholarly treasures, and she liked the inkstone in her hand very much, although she felt that it was very valuable, but she was not polite, and she carefully put it away and pulled Yao Qishen to thank him respectfully.

Fang Xi saw that the two nephews were so polite at a young age, and thought of their deceased mother, his own compatriot sister, and he was full of emotion for a while, "Your grandfather is also true, our Fang family has always had a reputation for hard work and rigorous study, but we don't see children under the age of three like your grandfather, who have to pick up a pen and write." Your uncle and cousins all went to school when they were nearly five years old. ”

Yao Keqing knew that he was enlightened and studied early because of his early wisdom, but his younger brother was because his grandfather felt that his health was deteriorating and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on, so he supported his sick body and tried his best to teach him early. He replied, "That's because Shen'er is smart." ”

Hearing his sister praise herself, Yao Qishen was very happy, and rubbed the pastry to Yao Keqing's side to please her, "Sister eats, sister is also smart." Seeing this, Fang Xi slapped his palms and laughed, Yao Keqing also pursed his lips with a red face and was silent, only Yao Qishen was confused, looking at this and that with a confused expression. Yao Qishen didn't understand, but Yao Keqing understood why the second uncle laughed, she saw that her uncle said that her grandfather let the three-year-old child read and write, and she was afraid that he would blame her grandfather, so she defended her grandfather, but she forgot that in addition to her younger brother, who was studying at the age of three, there was also herself, and Shen'er saw that she praised him, so she was busy pleasing herself in front of herself, but in the eyes of the second uncle, it was their sister and brother who were touting each other, can you not laugh?

Fang Xi returned to the main courtyard and reported to his parents what he had seen and heard at Yao's house today.

“…… The children are all good, I see that the people around me are also dedicated, although the old lady of the Yao family and the husband and wife of the Yao family are not very affectionate to them, but they have everything they should have, and they are not mean. Fang Xi carefully recalled what he had seen in Yao's house today.

"Hey......" Old Lady Fang's Lin sighed, "Yue'er has gone a hundred times, this is a pity for these two children...... My Yue'er ......" Thinking of her dead daughter, Lin's tears couldn't be stopped.

"Okay, a handful of old people, and they are not afraid of people's jokes!" Old Man Fang saw that his wife mentioned the eldest daughter who was smart but died young, and he didn't feel good in his heart. Afraid of losing his temper in front of his son, he hurriedly covered up his words.

"That's a piece of meat that fell off my body, from a soft lump to such a big marriage, but I said that it was gone, and I couldn't cry anymore?" Lin wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and replied dissatisfied.

Seeing his parents arguing, Fang Xi hurriedly persuaded: "Sister Qing is very similar to her sister, not only does she look alike, but she even has a somewhat similar temperament." ”

"Yes, Sister Qing'er's dark eyes are not carved out of the same mold as Yue'er, and the cinnabar mole on the ear is also exactly the same, both on the left ear!"

"Oh...... I remember that Sister Qing'er had a cold and tight temperament, but Brother Shen was a lively one. Old Man Fang said.

"Sister Qing's temperament is a little colder, but the etiquette is not bad at all, and there is also a little bit of sister's gentleness and quietness, now she is young, but she can also faintly see her future elegance. Fang Xi thought that although his niece's daughter was not enough, her posture was thin, and her face was a little immature, she was just sitting upright, and she had already seen a little majesty. It can be seen that he will be a peerless figure in the future.

"Early wisdom is easy to hurt, Yue'er is like this, I would rather these two children be ordinary and live a peaceful life. "Several years have passed, and Old Man Fang still can't let go of his daughter's death.

"Although Yue'er is gone, but we can't die, we have looked at it all these years, and we know that the Yao family is unreliable, only we can protect their sisters and brothers. Lin thought about her daughter before she died, saying that the Yao family was afraid that she would be unreliable, so let her grandmother take care of the two children more. Now it seems that it is really right, except for the old marquis, there is no good one left, even the father of the child was coaxed by the aunt and nephew of the Miao family, if the Fang family is not careful, the two children will definitely be raised by them. It's just that now I can't take them to live at home, and I can't visit them often, so I have to think of something else.

"Sister Qing said that Mama Yao, who was used to by Old Marquis Yao before, is now waiting in the long room, so that father and mother don't worry!" Fang Xi has seen Mama Yao, and he also knows Mama Yao's ability, so he is very relieved.

Lin was a lot relieved when he heard this, but he was still a little worried, "Then Mama Yao is also old, and she can't wait for a few years, so let's think of other ways earlier!"

Old Man Fang also nodded in agreement with Lin's words, "There is Mama Yao on the left and right now, and the Yao family is still in the filial piety period, let's plan slowly!"
