Wishful Things

Xu Yun's uncle and nephew were not far from the garden, and Xu Mingshi and Ah Jiu parted ways.

After walking for a while, seeing the Moon Gate leading to the inner courtyard in front of him, Xu Mingyi stopped and looked at his second uncle who was still wearing the cloak of Mingshi.

"Second Uncle—"

"What's wrong?" Xu Yun copied his sleeves and looked at his niece.

"In my eyes, Second Uncle is really good, so there is no need to underestimate yourself." Under the reflection of the glazed lantern, the girl looked very serious.

The second uncle may be too affectionate, or he may be too obsessed——

She has no intention of pointing fingers at the second uncle's life, let alone judging right from wrong, but no matter what, she hopes that the second uncle can try to open up.

After all, life is still very long.

Xu Yun was stunned for a while, then nodded with a smile: "Zhaozhao is right in reminding you, it's not good to belittle yourself, we have to change."

But why did the niece suddenly say this?

And I always feel that there is something wrong with the child's eyes... It can't be because he knows some secrets about him, right?

When Xu Yun was thinking about guessing, he only saw the girl in front of him smiled and said to him: "Second Uncle's acting is also very realistic, those who are capable will work harder, and then I will trouble Second Uncle to contribute more."

Hearing this sentence, Xu Yun couldn't help laughing.

"I co-authored to say hello to your second uncle, in order to coax your second uncle to work."

But just kidding—

"My own business, why don't you bother? What's more, this matter is really my business." Xu Yun said with a smile: "Second Uncle is useless and can't make up his mind, but if you talk about fighting and cooperating to do something, it can still be done—"

Although he was just a puddle of mud, he was always dragging his back legs and couldn't stand up, but he was still able to move forward and crawl.

Oh no, you can't say that—

Just now Zhao Zhao reminded me not to belittle myself.

Xu Mingyi wanted to say something more, but saw his second uncle waved his hand at him, urging him: "If you don't sleep for a while, it will be dawn, go back quickly."

He had never been away from his beloved bed for so long as today.

Xu Mingyi didn't say anything important, and nodded with a smile when he heard the words, watching his second uncle go away.

Taking Aoi through the moon gate, she raised her head and looked at the starry night sky.

The stars are very dense, very bright, clear and bright, making the sky seem much lower than usual, as if one could pluck a handful of stars if one stood higher.

Xu Ming unconsciously slowed down.

She felt that Wu Chao should have a look at such a beautiful thing.

If there is no rain or cloud in Ningyang City at this time, what you see should be the same galaxy, right?

However, he must have no such leisure time.

Besides, who would make such a fuss like hers at this hour, not to mention that the aristocratic family respects the rules, so they must have already fallen asleep.

Wait for a while, he should be getting up to practice sword, right?

After practicing the sword, take a bath and change clothes, have a cup of tea boiled in mountain spring water, and then read a book——

Regardless of whether it is winter or summer, if he is not in a hurry, he will do this every day.

Xu Mingyi walked slowly while thinking endlessly.

In fact, it can’t be said to be aimless——

I was thinking about him anyway.

After returning to Xi Garden, Xu Mingyi fell asleep for less than an hour before opening his eyes.

She sat up, pushed aside the bed curtain, and glanced at the hourglass.

It's still early.

The sky outside the window was only dim.

But it's time to get up too.

Although her grandfather specifically said last night that she can sleep more this morning and don't have to get up early to pay New Year's greetings, she still wants to go.

Because she hasn't paid New Year's greetings to her grandfather for a long time.

Xu Mingyi got up to freshen up, changed into new clothes, carefully selected the jewelry, and looked very interested.

Aoi smiled.

Although the girl has changed a lot, this point has not changed at all - the girl has especially liked the New Year since she was a child.

She still vaguely remembers a time when she was a child, after the Lantern Festival, seeing that the taste of the New Year was gone, the girl asked the old man when the new year would be celebrated again, and the old man said that the spring, summer, autumn and winter had to be completed, more than three hundred days and nights, but the girl thought it was too long, and cried in despair.

However, the old man found out about this, and he scolded the old man severely, and then ordered the mansion to hang up red lanterns, post Spring Festival couplets, and set off firecrackers.

The girl was woken up to eat glutinous rice balls in the middle of the night, she was very happy and pleasantly surprised.

I remember that in those few years, the girl had to spend this kind of holiday 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 are ready for the New Year at any time, has to get busy.

They are also very happy to be maids, because they can receive a lot of New Year's money and snacks from the girls.

But because of this incident, their town government, especially the old man, was often laughed at.

However, the old man never cared about the opinions of outsiders.

And when the girl is older, she understands, and she doesn't want to spend the holidays anymore, the old man once acted very disappointed.

Ah Kui thought of these interesting things and said them out.

Xu Mingyi laughed again and again, feeling warm in his heart.

After tidying up everything, she got up, straightened her dress, and said in a cheerful tone: "Let's go, it's time to pay New Year's greetings to grandfather, this year can't be overtaken by tomorrow."

Ah Kui responded with a smile, and hurriedly followed.

When the master and servant arrived, they saw that Xu Mingshi had already arrived one step ahead, but he didn't go in, but was waiting for her to come with him.

The two siblings paid New Year's greetings to Lord Zhen Guo and went to the Shiziyuan.

Finally, I went to Xu Yun’s courtyard——

Before Xu Yun got up, he heard his nephew and niece arrived, sat up in a daze, leaned on the bedside and listened to the two children say a few auspicious words, ordered the boy to stuff the red envelope he had prepared, and then waved them away with his hands. He retracted back into the bed and continued to sleep soundly.

Xu Mingyi and the two then went to the dining room in the front yard to have breakfast. The whole family was there except Xu Yun.

But Xu Yun's seat was not empty either——

Looking at Da Niao who was squatting there waiting for the meal to be served for granted, Duke Zhen was in a complicated mood.

Their family is too open-minded.

Birds can also be served.

But what I have to say is that even the bald bird looks more pleasing to the eye than the second son.

The atmosphere of the meal was very pleasant.

After dinner, just after Xu Mingyi brought Ah Kui back to Xiyuan, a little girl came to tell Ah Kui that someone was looking for her.

Ah Kui went to the back door and saw that the person waiting was Shou Ming.

"Why is little brother Shouming here?" Ah Kui's eyes were full of surprise.

As soon as she saw brother Shouming, she felt that there were endless gossips flying around in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help being excited.

"I'm here to deliver things to Miss Xu on behalf of my family's grandson." Shou Ming grinned at her, showing his big white teeth. While speaking, he pointed to the rosewood box half a person's height standing beside him.

Aoi was shocked.

Such a big box, it is not troublesome to put a person in it, right?

Today I write about celebrating the "holiday year", which is actually my personal experience. When I was a child, I grew up with my grandparents. At that time, the Chinese New Year was not enough. Only during the Chinese New Year, there were lanterns. Then my grandfather made me that kind of lantern with paper on the outside of bamboo, and told me that I could celebrate another New Year, and I believed it.

My grandfather is a very kind and upright person. He used to be the secretary of the village. He had a high level of ideological consciousness. He really put the villagers first. He even secretly used his own money to subsidize poor households without telling my grandmother. Be it the neighbors in the neighborhood or those who have festivals, when they mention him, they will give him a thumbs up and praise him as "a good man".

He had a great influence on me. Today, in a variety show, I saw the deeds of secretary "Huang Wenxiu", and I cried so hard that I suddenly thought of my grandfather.

He left last winter. I was writing a book at that time, and I stopped writing for about ten days. I walked with him all the time. After he left, I pinned his "serving the people" badge on his chest. This was his confession before he left.

He is the kindest and most beautiful person I have ever seen in this world, and he also taught me to be a kind person.

May everyone cherish the family around them. Suddenly I felt a lot, so I talked a lot of nonsense, good night everyone.
