Not far from Xu Yun's uncle and nephew's trip out of the garden, Xu Mingshi took Ah Jiu and went their separate ways.
After walking for a while, Xu Mingyi stopped and looked at his second uncle, who was still wearing Mingshi's cloak.
"Second uncle——"
"What's wrong?" Xu Yun looked at his niece while holding his sleeves.
"In my eyes, my second uncle is really good. There is no need to belittle oneself." Under the light of the glazed lantern, the girl's expression was very serious.
Maybe the second uncle is too affectionate, or maybe he likes to get into trouble too much——
She had no intention of criticizing her second uncle's life, nor did she think of judging what was right or wrong, but no matter what, she hoped that her second uncle could try to be more open-minded.
After all, life is still very long.
Xu Yun was stunned for a while, then nodded with a smile: "Zhaozhao is right to remind you. It is not good to belittle oneself. You have to change it."
But why did my niece suddenly say this?
And I always feel like there's something wrong with this kid's eyes... Could it be that he knows some of his secrets?
When Xu Yun was making a guess, the girl in front of him smiled and said to him: "Second uncle is very realistic in his acting. Those who can do more work, and I have to ask my second uncle to put in more effort."
"
Hearing this, Xu Yun couldn't help laughing.
"The reason why I co-authored and said that your second uncle is nice is to coax your second uncle to work."
But it’s just a joke——
"How do you say it's troublesome when it comes to your own affairs? What's more, when it comes to this matter, it's my business." Xu Yun said with a smile: "Second uncle is of no use and can't make up his mind, but if it comes to talking about it, he can do something about it.
We can do something together, and we can still do it——"
Although he is just a puddle of mud, always dragging his family back and unable to stand up, he can still move forward and crawl.
Oh, no, you can’t say that——
Zhaozhao just reminded me not to belittle oneself.
Xu Mingyi wanted to say something more when he saw his second uncle wave his hand towards him and urged: "If you don't sleep for a while, it will be daybreak, so go back quickly."
He had never left his beloved bed for so long as he did today.
Xu Mingyi didn't have anything important to say. Hearing this, he nodded with a smile and watched his second uncle go away.
After taking Akui across the moon gate, she raised her head and looked at the starry night sky.
The stars are very dense, very bright, clear and brilliant, making the sky seem much lower than usual. It seems that if you stand higher, you can reach out and pick off a handful of stars.
Xu Mingyi slowed down unknowingly.
She felt that Wu Chao should also take a look at such a beautiful thing.
If there is no rain or clouds in Ningyang City at this time, what we see should be the same galaxy, right?
However, I guess he definitely doesn't have this leisurely mood.
And whose family would be as noisy as hers at this hour, not to mention the family's strict rules, so everyone must have gone to bed long ago.
If you wait a little longer, he should get up and practice sword practice, right?
After practicing the sword, take a shower and change clothes, have a cup of tea brewed with mountain spring water, and then read a book——
No matter whether it was winter or summer, if he had nothing urgent to do, he would do this every day.
Xu Mingyi walked slowly and thought endlessly.
In fact, it can’t be said to be aimless——
Anyway, I was thinking about him.
After returning to Xiyuan, Xu Mingyi slept for no more than an hour before opening his eyes.
She sat up, opened the bed curtain, and glanced at the hourglass.
It's still early.
The skylight outside the window is only dim.
But it's time to get up.
Although her grandfather specifically said last night that she could sleep a little longer this morning and didn't have to get up early to pay New Year greetings, she still wanted to go.
Because she hasn’t paid New Year greetings to her grandfather for a long time.
Xu Mingyi got up, washed up, changed into new clothes, and carefully selected jewelry, looking very happy.
Akui smiled at the sight.
Although the girl has changed a lot, this point has not changed at all - the girl has especially loved celebrating the New Year since she was a child.
She still vaguely remembered a time when she was a child. After celebrating the Lantern Festival, the spirit of the New Year was gone. The girl asked the old man when he could celebrate the New Year again. The old man said that he still had to go through the spring, summer, autumn and winter, more than three hundred days and nights.
The night turned out to be too long for the girl, so she cried in despair.
However, the old man found out about this, and he scolded him, and then ordered the house to hang up red lanterns, put up Spring Festival couplets, and set off firecrackers.
The girl was woken up in the middle of the night to eat glutinous rice balls, and she was so happy and surprised.
I remember that in those years, girls had to take such holidays several times a year.
Sometimes when I feel very bad, I say "I want to celebrate the New Year".
So everyone in the mansion, who is always ready to celebrate the New Year, gets busy.
They who are maids are also very happy because they can receive a lot of New Year's money and sweets from the girls.
But because of this incident, their government officials, especially the old man, were laughed at a lot.
However, the old man never cared about what outsiders thought.
When the girl got older and understood that she no longer wanted to celebrate the New Year holiday, the old man even acted very disappointed for a time.
Akui thought of these interesting things and told them.
Xu Mingyi laughed again and again, feeling warm in her heart.
After packing everything, she stood up, straightened her clothes, and said in a cheerful tone: "Let's go, it's time to go and pay New Year's greetings to my grandfather. We can't let Mingshi get ahead of us this year."
Akui agreed with a smile and hurried to follow.
When the master and servant arrived, they saw that Xu Mingshi had already arrived, but he did not go in, but was waiting for her to come with him.
The two siblings paid New Year's greetings to the Duke of Zhen and then went to the Prince's Courtyard.
Finally, I went to Xu Yun’s courtyard——
Before Xu Yun could get up, he heard that his nephew and niece had arrived. He sat up in a daze, leaned on the bed and listened to the two children saying a few auspicious words. He ordered the boy to stuff the prepared red envelope into it, and then waved his hand to seal it.
The person drove away. He retreated into bed again and continued to sleep soundly.
Xu Mingyi and the two then went to the front yard dining room to have breakfast. Everyone in the family was there except Xu Yun.
But Xu Yun’s seat is not empty either——
Looking at Big Bird, who was squatting there waiting for his meal as a matter of course, Zhen Guogong felt a little complicated.
Their family is very open-minded.
Birds can also be served.
But what I have to say is that even a bald bird looks more pleasing to the eye than the second son.
The atmosphere of this meal was very pleasant.
After dinner, Xu Mingyi and A Kui had just returned to Xiyuan when a little girl came to tell A Kui that someone was looking for her.
Akui went to the back door and saw Shouming waiting there.
"Brother Shouming, why are you here?" Akui's eyes were full of surprise.
As soon as she saw Brother Shouming, she felt like there were endless interesting gossips flying around in front of her eyes, which made her feel excited.
"I'm here to deliver something to Miss Xu on behalf of my grandson." Shou Ming grinned at her, showing his big white teeth. As he spoke, he pointed to the rosewood box standing next to him that was half a person's height.
Akui looked shocked.
Such a big box, it wouldn’t be troublesome to put a person in it, right?
