Facing his second uncle who suddenly stopped feeling sleepy, Xu Mingyi took two steps closer and said with a smile: "I would like to ask my second uncle to help me carve a few words on the arms of this bow -"
It turns out to be engraving...
Xu Yun relaxed, and his head that had woken up from fright was no longer hazy. However, he took a look at the brand new bow and subconsciously said: "...Okay, I will help you carve it after my second uncle has had enough sleep."
Although his mind was awake, his body did not allow him to get up yet.
"Second uncle, can you carve it first and then sleep?" Xu Mingyi begged.
"Why are you so anxious?" Looking at his niece who suddenly acted coquettishly, Xu Yun felt a little uncomfortable.
"I'm just impatient. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to see my second uncle so early in the morning."
Xu Yun glanced at her - "You know it's early in the morning?"
But when the words came to his lips, he didn't dare to say them.
Then I heard the girl say in a negotiating tone: "If you don't want to get out of bed, then ask someone to get something and just carve it on the bed."
Looking at his niece who was still smiling, Xu Yun always felt that there was some kind of hint hidden under this sweet smile.
——Suggesting that he should not toast and eat as a penalty?
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yun finally sighed and said in a helpless and doting tone: "Okay, I'll engrave it for you."
There is no way, he is a good elder who loves his children deep down.
"Thank you, uncle!"
The boy quickly moved a clean Kang table from the side and set it up on the bed. Then he followed Xu Yun's instructions and went to the study to get the things needed for seal characters.
Xu Mingyi asked someone to spread a thin blanket on the table, then put the bow in his hand on it and warned: "Second uncle, you have to be more careful."
Xu Yun couldn't help but laugh: "Look how precious you are."
It's just a bow. Although it does look very delicate and elegant, she has never lacked such things.
"Isn't Jin expensive? Otherwise, why would I specially invite my second uncle to seal calligraphy?"
She was afraid that her hands were too clumsy and the words she carved would be awkward.
"Okay, stop flattering your second uncle." Xu Yun held the bow arm and looked at it.
Xu Mingyi stretched out his finger and pointed it, and said: "Engrave it next to this line of characters. The size of the characters should be the same as before, and try to make the two lines of characters look as good as possible."
The same means the same, what does it mean to be a good match?
Is it even necessary to ask for "a good match" these days?
Xu Yun vaguely felt that something was wrong with her niece.
"What words does Zhao Zhao plan to engrave?"
"Just now - the mountains and rivers are fine."
Is everything okay?
Xu Yun said "Huh" and nodded.
His family, Zhaozhao, is quite concerned about the country and its people.
Xu Yun first carefully traced the outline of the font.
Xu Mingyi sat down on the drum stool next to the bed, resting his chin on his hands and staring there.
In terms of calligraphy and painting, Xu Yun is a person who either doesn't do it or not. If he does it, he must do his best. This is just a simple four-character seal script, which is also polished to remove the thorns and carefully painted with gold paint. It took nearly two hours of work.
After doing all this, Xu Yun took a closer look and shook his head with some dissatisfaction.
"Even if I deliberately imitated it, it is still more beautiful than the original line..."
Is co-authoring so unsatisfactory?
Xu Mingyi glanced at his second uncle and said, "Although it is not advisable to belittle oneself, but it is unnecessary to be so narcissistic," he finally changed it to: "Yes, no one can hide the talent and aura of his second uncle. Woolen cloth."
"But generally speaking, it's still suitable." Xu Yun squinted his eyes and admired it for a while.
Mingyi Anshun.
The mountains and rivers are fine.
Well, let's not talk about it. Looking at it this way, it seems that they are a bit of a match.
And once you accept this setting, as a person who has been alone for many years, you can't help but feel that these two lines of words are a bit dazzling.
but……
This first sentence is obviously Zhaozhao’s name——
If we were to talk about a true matchmaking match, wouldn’t it have to have another name?
Xu Yun thought like this, and his eyes were fixed on the four words "shanhe is safe".
All right?!
Not knowing what he thought of, Xu Yun's expression changed and he turned to look at his niece who was sitting there obediently.
"Go and get me a soup dumpling." He suddenly ordered to the boy beside him.
The boy was stunned for a moment and reminded: "Second Master, it only lasted a quarter of an hour."
Xu Yun frowned and said, "It's not hot enough."
The boy responded with a complex expression - by what the second master meant by not being hot enough, did he mean that he would be dissatisfied if it didn't produce bubbles?
"Zhaozhao, where did you get this bow?" Xu Yun asked his niece seriously as the boy walked out.
Xu Mingyi stood up, reached out and took the bow in his hand, and replied honestly: "Wu Shisun gave this to me."
You actually admitted it like that?
If it breaks, he will say something is wrong with his niece!
For a moment, Xu Yun's body tensed up a bit, and he stared at his niece closely and asked: "Zhao Zhao, tell the truth to your second uncle, you and Wu Shisun from Dingnan Palace are... beyond ordinary friends.
category?"
The second uncle probably shouldn't ask this directly, but this is more than just a matter of affection between children!
In sight, the girl nodded and said calmly: "Yes, it's far beyond."
How dare you admit this so readily?!
And it goes "far" beyond...
Should he praise his niece for being honest enough?
Xu Yun felt dizzy from being stimulated, and quickly lowered his voice and said: "Zhao Zhao, you have to think about this carefully, this is the Wu family——"
Xu Mingyi smiled and said: "Of course I know he is from the Wu family."
"The Wu family is the most ruthless..." Xu Yun said: "They, as a family, have always been self-righteous, and I am telling you so today. In the future, for the sake of the so-called overall interests, it will only take a blink of an eye to change their attitude -"
Xu Mingyi sighed inwardly upon hearing this.
What the second uncle said was clearly his feelings after being abandoned by the empress, right?
"It is impossible for the Wu family to get married easily."
Xu Yun changed his words again. Looking at his niece who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, his tone could not help but slow down a lot, with sympathy and intolerance hidden in his heart: "It's not just a festival between two families, it also involves the weighing of power in the court...
…If your grandfather found out about this, I’m afraid he would be very angry.”
My father would definitely not agree to this. Otherwise, he would not have planned to bring the person to celebrate the occasion. After learning that the other person was the grandson of Prince Dingnan, he immediately changed his mind and kicked the person out.
.
And he has experience in this matter.
Although it was not his father’s opposition that really defeated him in the end—
"Second uncle, don't worry about me. I have told my grandfather about this matter truthfully." Xu Mingyi did not hide anything. He coughed lightly and said, "Grandpa said he would find a way to help me get Wu Chao."
.”
……ha?
Xu Yun, who was originally full of sympathy for his niece, suddenly looked confused.
Did he hear it wrong?
Or...are there really such unfair things in the world?
