Chapter 61: Uncle
After the beginning of winter, the uncle of the Ruan family came back from the capital, and at this time of year, he would go to the capital to give gifts and contact the deep friendship between officials and businessmen.
He also received the news of Pukou in the capital, and was ecstatic to learn that his sister was pregnant, and he didn't get off the boat when he passed through Yangzhou, but only sent his family to send things home, and he landed directly in Pukou with a boatload of gifts, and entered the old house in Jiangpu with joy.
When Xiusun heard this, she sorted out her appearance and went to Onion Jiexuan.
When Xiusun walked into the west room, she found that the eighth master was also there, and she was slightly stunned, and she lifted the bead curtain by Yingge, and happily walked in to greet the elders in turn.
This is the first time Xiusun has seen the Ruan family's uncle since she became Xiusun. The early winter sun was exceptionally bright, shining through the partition on my uncle's white face, leaving a shadow of 10,000 words of flowing water, adding a touch of amiable color to my uncle's handsome face.
Uncle Ruan's eyebrows and eyes are very similar, but the face shape is square, it is the kind that is very blessed, people are somewhat blessed when they reach middle age, maybe they have been running around for a long time, they don't look bloated and fat, but thick and reliable.
Xiusun felt kind when she saw it.
The uncle was very relieved to see that Xiusun had grown fat and looked very good, and stroked the top of Xiusun's head with a smile, and asked her to sit beside him in a chair.
Xiusun looked at the eighth master sitting on the other side of the Luohan bed, and the Ruan family who was sitting in the circle chair under the eighth master, so he listened to his uncle's words, sat next to his uncle, held a tea bowl for his uncle for a while, and beckoned his uncle to eat fruit for a while, which made his uncle unable to close his mouth.
"It's really the eighteenth change of the female university, I haven't seen her for more than half a year, Xiusun is beautiful, and she is cheerful." The uncle took the pea yellow that Xiusun held, tasted it, and praised, "Is it really our Xiusun who made it himself?" It's delicious. ”
Xiusun smiled shyly, and thought, of course, first, I will not be eight years old but eighteen next year, and second, the Xiusun you saw more than half a year ago has already changed the stuffing.
Ruan Shi thought of Xiusun's changes in the past half a year, and also felt happy, "No, in the past half a year, my body has also been well cultivated and sensible." "I think how worried she was at the beginning, it turns out that her child is naturally not weak, the so-called tiger mother has no dog girl, secretly proud.
Xiusun saw Ruan's self-satisfaction, smiled and listened quietly to the adult's speech, it turned out that his uncle was persuading the eighth master, saying that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely go to high school next time.
If it was in normal times, the dustless Eighth Master must have felt that the uncle of the Ruan family would be unbearable to talk about fame and fortune, but now he is cowardly.
He didn't go to the exam before, so naturally there was no comparison, every day Ziming deliberately thought that Lao Tzu was the first in the world, and now, he didn't even get in, but he didn't even take the palace exam, and he was ranked 58th in the top three. At least my eldest brother is not as stupid as himself, and he has forgotten his name, isn't he?
Originally, the eighth master disliked the most was that the Ruan family had too much silver, and he was covered with copper stench, but a few days ago his life was in danger, and the Ruan family took a priceless thousand-year-old ginseng to hang him.
The eighth old man humbly listened to his eldest brother's lecture, and promised that next time he would study hard, take exams seriously, glorify the lintel, and by the way, earn a set of phoenix crowns for his wife, that is, his eldest brother's sister.
The eighth master spoke so well this time, which surprised his uncle, he thought that this time he would see a brother-in-law who frequently looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle as he had done the previous times, and every cell in his body was telling "I am very handsome", "I am very romantic", and "everyone is drunk and I am sober".
It is a good phenomenon that there is a change, but the change is so big, the uncle of the Ruan family is beating the drum in his heart.
However, he is an excellent businessman, and his ability to see what people say and what he does quietly is first-class, and he quickly adjusts his tactics to reduce the elements of suppression and reminders, and enthusiastically expresses his appreciation and confidence in his brother-in-law, but the eighth master is moved.
You must know that after the eighth master fell off the list, he was immediately beaten by the old lady, and he only got out of bed and walked in the past two days, and the scars on his back did not disappear and he was embarrassed to go out to meet friends, this was the first time that someone solemnly encouraged him, he suddenly realized that he had met a confidant, and he wanted to drag the Ruan family uncle to his outer courtyard study, and he wanted to appreciate his new famous painting with the Ruan family's uncle.
Uncle Ruan excused himself and said, "Let's go and see the old lady first." ”
So a group of people went to the Huanshi Mountain House again.
The old lady has always liked Uncle Ruan, and always said that Uncle Ruan is most like her grandmother Hu, that is, the old lady's great benefactor.
The uncle of the Ruan family is also very good at coming to things, and he amused the old lady with a few words, and then took out the pastel landscape cup of the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that Ruan sent to the capital a few months ago to make a golden picture to the old lady, the old lady put on the tortoiseshell eyes, and carefully opened a black lacquer painted gold box, in the center of the big red velvet, there was a white background blue pattern of the wide mouth cup, the mountains on it were stacked, the leaves were green, and there was a small fishing boat walking in the light blue waves at the foot of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain at the beginning of the sun, there was a thick and thin golden thread, which, at first glance, looked like a beautiful band of light refracted by the glow of the sun in the vast clouds and mist. There is the small opening that was originally opened, and the porcelain tiles were glued back with specially prepared glue, and then coated with a layer of gold paint to fill in the gaps and cover up the cracks.
The old lady was very satisfied, and repeatedly praised the master for his ingenuity, and even more beautiful than before.
The family chatted with Hele over tea, and heard that the eighth master was going to the second master of the Chu family to experience the second master after the year, and the uncle of the Ruan family picked and talked about a lot of Huguang's customs and customs. The second master was the general judge of Yongzhou Mansion at the time, and he was six products.
Since the eighth master heard that he was going to take office as the second brother, he did not resist, but longed for it, Yongzhou Eight Scenic Spots is famous all over the world, and he has also left countless famous articles of literati and ink writers, and the eighth master has long wanted to see it.
The uncle of the Ruan family saw that the eighth old man's big clear eyes were shining, and he picked up and asked Yongzhou about the food and fun, like a child, knowing that he was still the same, so he simply stopped wasting saliva, borrowed a moment to change the topic, and mentioned the old third room to the old lady.
When the third house came to Yangzhou at the beginning of that year, he was still the thread of the Ruan family's uncle and made his first business, and then married the girl from the Fang family, the richest man in Yangzhou, and was also the matchmaker made by the Ruan family's uncle. The relationship between the two families is very close.
He also mentioned that the old lady of the third room and the fifth old lady prepared a New Year's gift for the Pukou Zhufang, and asked him to bring it over, and he was entrusted with the loyalty of the people, and he also followed Xiusun and them to the old house in Jiangpu in two days.
When the old lady heard him say this, she knew that she was not in a hurry, and asked people to clean up the yard and come out, and let her uncle live, and send a few people to send her uncle.
The uncle thanked the old lady for staying overnight, excused the waiter, and only said that he had brought an aunt to take care of her life.
The old lady immediately asked someone to invite the aunt to meet her, and praised the aunt with a smile and praised her for her good looks, and rewarded her with two pieces of jewelry.
Xiusun secretly thought on the side, his uncle came back from the capital, but the third room was in Yangzhou, and he asked his uncle to give a New Year's gift, which was not very good, so why did he have to go to the old house in Jiangpu?
Jiangpu Old Mansion ...... Second old lady!
Could it be that her uncle also got on the second old lady's thief ship! (To be continued.) )
