The days passed quickly, and another ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Huali Villa came to rare guests, and the porter spread the word, saying that the people who settled down were here.

The person who settles down is the grandfather of Oriental Painting.

The person who came was An Hongyuan, the little uncle of Oriental Painting Brocade.

In her memory, this little uncle, who was only ten years older than her, was honest, kind, intelligent and courageous, and was a very competent and good uncle. In those difficult years in the past, the little uncle was the only person who could give Dongfang Xiaocao warmth except for a few younger siblings.

An Hongyuan, now twenty-seven years old, was released from the new branch list three years ago to be appointed as the Qipin County Order. Before leaving the capital, he had always taken care of Dongfang Xiaocao's sisters and brothers, if it weren't for his sincere maintenance, the sisters and brothers might have frozen to death and starved to death. Before he left, he also left three hundred taels of silver for Dongfang Xiaocao, so that she and her younger brothers and sisters would not lack food and drink.

My grandfather gave birth to Dongfang Xiaocao's mother, and there are two uncles, the eldest uncle An Hongming and the younger uncle An Hongyuan. The eldest uncle was a jinshi six years ago, who was a county magistrate more than 3,000 miles away, and when he left the capital, he took his grandfather and grandmother to work together.

When we met for the first time, Oriental Painting Brocade had a very good impression of the handsome and sunny young man in front of me. This little uncle is a benevolent and virtuous person, and he should be able to trust and rely on him.

Oriental Painting Brocade stepped forward with a cordial smile: "Little uncle, you are back!" "Tears, irrepressible, gushed out. Perhaps, this is Dongfang Xiaocao's residual emotion, or it may be her own feelings.

"Good boy, you're suffering!"

An Lao Hongyuan held the hand of Oriental Painting, his face was full of kindness and pain, and his voice was so warm and good, revealing earnest care. Falling in the ears of Oriental Painting, I only felt that it was very beautiful, and my heart was very comfortable. At this moment, she seemed to be bathed in warm sunlight in the cold winter.

Dongfang Huajin was very puzzled: "Uncle, why did you suddenly return to Beijing?" ”

According to Dongfang Xiaocao's memory, the little uncle should have gone to the southwest to take up his post, which was remote and harsh. People who have a little way will not go there to be officials, and those who go will generally not be transferred if they do not have six years.

An Hongyuan had a bright smile on his face: "I have made a great contribution, this time, I am returning to Beijing to report on my work, I can stay in the capital in the future, and I can take good care of your sisters and brothers!" ”

Oriental Painting Brocade Daxi: "Really? What great achievements have been made? What kind of official position? ”

An Hongyuan smiled: "The southwest flood, I have made a contribution to water control, this time I will return to Beijing, and I will take the position of Langzhong from the Wupin Ministry of Industry, in charge of water conservancy!" ”

Dongfang Huajin was very happy: "Okay, congratulations to my uncle!" By the way, uncle, where will you live in the future? Have you bought a house? ”

The previous house was sold by my grandfather. There is no way, the An family is not rich, and if they don't sell their house, it's not enough to even go to work.

An Hongyuan smiled faintly: "Not yet, I plan to rent a small house near the Ministry of Industry, so that it will be more convenient." ”

Dongfang Huajin suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, when are you going to take office?" "I just returned to the capital, so I should have a vacation, right?

An Hongyuan: "You can rest for seven days." ”

Dongfang Huajin hurriedly and enthusiastically retained: "In this case, then my uncle will live in Huali Villa for a few days, and the matter of renting a house will be handed over to the housekeeper of Huali Villa, and I will ensure that I will help my uncle do things properly!" ”

"Good!" An Hongyuan responded happily, feeling very warm in his heart.

Dongfang Huajin placed his little uncle in the courtyard where his younger brothers lived, and instructed Wang Rui: "You are more familiar with the capital, you go to the capital, buy a second-entry house near the Ministry of Industry, and write my little uncle's name!" ”

Uncle is so good, and life is not easy, as a niece, I have the ability to give a house to my uncle, which is also right. For those who are good to themselves, Oriental Painting Brocade has always been grateful for their kindness, believing that "the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring".

On the afternoon of the sixth day, when sending my uncle away from Huali Villa, Dongfang Huajin took out the deed of the house: "Uncle Xiao, this is a piece of my heart, please accept it, don't refuse!" ”

An Hongyuan was taken aback: "I don't want it, how can this work?" ”

This can't be done, an elder, where does he mean to accept such a gift from a junior?

Dongfang Huajin's attitude is very resolute and very sincere: "Little uncle, you just accept it, our family doesn't talk to each other." The little uncle is not young, it's time to get married, and he doesn't even have a house, how can he marry a good daughter-in-law? ”

After some soft grinding and hard foaming, he finally persuaded An Hongyuan: "Okay, then uncle will accept it, thank you for painting brocade!" "In the future, if you have the ability, you must repay it twice.

Oriental Painting Brocade prepared a lot of things for An Hongyuan, home furnishings, beds, bedding, clothes, shoes and socks, kitchen supplies, etc., everything, and five freight wagons.

An Hongyuan was reluctant, and a little uneasy: "You take care of yourself, and when you have a holiday, I will come to see you." What is the use of uncle, just let people go to me, don't be polite to uncle! ”

Oriental Painting Brocade made up his mind to worship Qi Xuan as a teacher.

She changed into the clothes she wore as a guest, and knocked on the door of the Qi Mansion with her younger siblings and rich gifts.

"Aunt Dongfang is here, please hurry up!" The one who opened the door was Qi Xuan's daughter Qi Qian, and she was full of joy when she saw the sisters and brothers of Oriental Painting.

Walking into Qi Mansion, Qi Xuan was already waiting under the osmanthus tree in the front yard. He looked at the Dongfang sister and brother with a faint smile, his eyes were clear and wise, and he was dressed in royal blue clothes, which set off his figure and handsome demeanor, just like the immortal who strayed into the mortal world.

"Oops, rare guest, welcome, welcome!"

He looked at her with a smile, and his voice was low and pleasant, making people feel like a spring breeze.

He hadn't met her a few times, let alone alone, but a pair of children were always muttering in his ear, saying things like "Aunt Dongfang is great", "Aunt Dongfang is very nice", and so on. Xun Feng and Ye Mao will come to Qi Mansion to ask questions about calligraphy and painting, and when it comes to oriental painting brocade, they are also full of praise, and they look honored.

From the children's mouths, he learned that Dongfang Huajin was a woman with a hearty personality, not a person who was conformist. is different from those stereotypical young ladies, her whole body is full of vigorous vitality and youthful vitality.

Correction: There is an error in the previous chapter, and where there is Zhao Qian in everything, it is changed to An Yi.
