Chapter 66 Meeting Uncle
"Lord Zhizhou, walk slowly!"
Yan Zhigao, Master Xiao, and Li Shounian smiled and sent Dong Zhizhou and his son out of the yard. They did not prepare to return to their rooms until they could no longer see their backs.
When he turned around, Yi Cheng, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped out with a smile: "Master Yan, what happened yesterday was very offending. We have prepared the yard again for you, and we invite you to come."
Yan Zhigao glanced at Yi Cheng, who had a flattering smile on his face, and felt deeply in his heart. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Yi Cheng, for taking the trouble."
Seeing that Yan Zhigao had no intention of blaming anyone, Yi Cheng finally relaxed: "That's right. It's all our fault that we didn't do our job well, which is why the master and several young masters were wronged. Your Excellency Haihan, don't blame us."
I'll wait, I'll be grateful."
Yan Zhigao smiled: "Yi Cheng is serious, but it is not a big deal. Recently, there are more officials going to Fucheng to report on their duties, so it is understandable that the post station is busy."
Yi Cheng nodded repeatedly, with a moved expression on his face: "Thank you for your consideration."
Yan Zhigao didn't say anything else: "Go and do your work, we are fine here!"
Yi Cheng: "Yes, I won't disturb you as a lowly official."
Looking at Yan Zhigao returning to the hospital, Yi Cheng took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Who would have thought that the magistrate of a remote county would have such a powerful backer?
Yesterday, when he saw how familiar the distinguished young master was with the young master of the Yan family, he was so frightened that his legs went weak.
"You guys, keep your eyes open and carefully help Mr. Yan and his young masters move the yard later. Don't be careless." Yi Cheng warned the yamen behind him again before turning and leaving.
In the room.
Daohua and Yan Wenxiu are looking through the banknotes left by Dong Zhizhou.
Yan Wenkai was amazed: "Dong Zhizhou was so generous. It was just a few potted plants, but he gave us five hundred taels of silver!"
Hearing this, Daohua was unhappy: "Fourth brother, what are just a few potted plants? Those were cultivated by me and the third brother with a lot of effort, and they were meant to be gifts to several uncles!
It entrusts my friendship to my uncles. Do you understand that friendship can be bought with a few hundred taels of silver?"
Yan Zhigao, Master Xiao, and Li Shounian heard what Daohua said as soon as they entered the room.
Master Xiao smiled and said: "Young lady is right, the friendship in the heart cannot be measured by money."
Seeing Master Xiao agreeing with his words, his eyebrows widened and the corners of his mouth raised, revealing two shallow dimples.
Looking at the smiling rice flowers, Li Shounian's eyes flashed, he glanced at Yan Zhigao, and sighed in his heart, this magistrate Yan is lucky, his son and daughter are both handsome and handsome.
Master Xiao continued to smile and said: "I took a look and found that the potted plants cultivated by the eldest lady are rare on the market. If you really want to sell them, you may not be able to buy them for five hundred taels of silver."
These words really touched Daohua’s heart.
The flowers and plants in the pots have all been planted in the space. The branches and leaves are green, the flowers are delicate, and the quality is absolutely high.
Seeing his eldest daughter looking at Master Xiao with sympathetic eyes, Yan Zhigao had the urge to cover his head. He walked forward and took the banknotes out of Daohua's hand: "I will take you to the streets after I finish my work for my father."
Add a new gift."
"Okay, now you all go back to your room to sort out your rituals. We will move to a new yard later!" After saying that, he waved to the kids to leave quickly.
When they heard that the yard was to be moved, Daohua and the others were very enthusiastic, but they had no choice but to do so. The yard was too shabby and they would not feel comfortable sleeping at night.
With the help of the government servants left behind by Yi Cheng, Daohua and the others soon moved the yard.
The new courtyard, regardless of the number of rooms, size, furnishings, and scenery, is much better than the previous one. The utilitarianism of the world is clearly evident.
Yan Zhigao had just finished cleaning the room when he heard the boy coming over to report that two uncles from the Li family were here.
Hearing this, Yan Zhigao immediately went out and ordered the boy: "Quick, go tell the young masters and ask them to come to the main room to meet the two uncles."
Soon, Daohua saw her two uncles chatting and laughing with her cheap dad in the main room.
One is elegant and calm, the other is cheerful and funny.
"Greetings to my two uncles!"
As soon as Yan Wenxiu entered the room, he immediately saluted Li Xingchang and Li Xingnian.
Yan Wenkai, on the other hand, shouted happily: "Uncle, second uncle, why are you here? I thought I had to wait until dad is done with his work before I can see you!" After saying that, he ran to Li Xingnian, behaving very familiarly.
Close.
Li Xingchang smiled and helped Yan Wenxiu up, looked at him carefully, then turned to Yan Zhigao and said with a smile: "Wenxiu is more stable than when we met the year before, and he looks more and more like an adult.
”
Yan Zhigao smiled and nodded: "Since the new year has begun, he is already fifteen, so he can indeed be considered an adult."
"Uncle, what about me?" Yan Wenkai saw that Li Xingchang was only looking at his eldest brother, not him, and immediately asked for attention.
Li Xingchang smiled and looked at his lively second nephew and said with a smile: "You have grown taller, but you are still so noisy!"
After talking about his two nephews, Li Xingchang turned his eyes to the rice cake dressed as a boy in the room, and said with a gentle expression: "Is this rice flower?"
Yan Zhigao immediately said to Daohua: "What are you still waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and meet your two uncles!"
Daohua stepped forward, originally wanting to give blessings to her two uncles, but when she thought about how she was now dressed as a boy, she thought about it, knelt down and kowtowed to the two of them: "Daohua says hello to the two uncles."
Got it!"
Li Xingnian, who had been silent until now, stood up, bent down to help Daohua up, and then looked at her silently without saying a word.
Daohua was not frightened, she raised her head and looked straight at Li Xingnian.
At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind, that is, her second uncle was so tall, so handsome, and a very handsome man in modern times!
Li Xingnian looked at his niece's nymphomaniac look, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. He reached out and touched Daohua's head, and said with a smile: "She looks like a sister!"
Li Xingchang answered: "If you ask me, he looks more like Zhigao. Look at his facial features, they are almost exactly the same as Zhigao."
Hearing this, Yan Zhigao immediately looked at Daohua. He hadn't noticed it before, but now that his brother-in-law said it, he really felt that his eldest daughter looked very similar to him.
Li Xingnian did not refute, just smiled and said: "The daughter of my sister and brother-in-law should combine the best of both of them." After saying that, he took out a green jade bracelet from his body and put it on Daohua directly.
"Fortunately, the size is just right!"
The jade bracelet was light green, and Daohua liked it very much. She immediately smiled and thanked her: "Thank you, uncle, I like it very much."
Seeing Daohua’s eyebrows and eyes were all smiling, she really liked her, and Li Xingnian was also very happy: “As long as you like it.”
Yan Zhigao saw that the jade bracelet was transparent and of high quality, and he immediately said: "She is just a little baby, there is no need to carry such a precious thing."
Li Xingnian: "Jade nourishes people, and girls have to be taken care of since childhood."
Yan Wenkai's eyes were a little hot and he pouted: "Second uncle, you haven't even given me jade yet!"
Li Xingnian glared at his second nephew and said with disgust: "You are a boy, what kind of jade do you bring?"
Yan Wenkai quit: "Why can't boys wear jade anymore? I see that many young men wear jade pendants. Well, the jade pendant on my sister was taken off by a young man."
Li Xingnian glanced at the unicorn jade pendant around Daohua's waist: "Second uncle, can you take a look?"
Daohua did not hesitate, took off the jade pendant and handed it to Li Xingnian: "Of course."
Li Xingnian looked at the jade pendant carefully, and then solemnly handed it to his elder brother.
As soon as Li Xingchang got the jade pendant, he praised: "Good jade, this is extremely rare Hetian jade, usually only for..." At this point, Li Xingchang hurriedly stopped talking.
The royal family is not something he, a businessman, can discuss.
Daohua was curious: "Uncle, what do you just provide?"
Li Xingchang smiled: "It is only for dignitaries to wear. This jade pendant of yours is very precious. You must keep it well and don't bump it, let alone lose it." After saying that, he glanced at Yan Zhigao.<
/p>
The implication is self-evident, Daohua is just a child after all, the jade pendant is precious, and the status of the person wearing the jade pendant is even more noble, so there can be no carelessness.
Yan Zhigao understood what his brother-in-law meant and nodded: "When we go back, let her mother take care of her."
