Chapter 342 Little Eunuch
Xiao Yining was ultimately unable to stay at the Wang family. Under Wang Ersheng's expectant eyes, her mother called her back to her own home.
The young eunuch saw the little boy slowly walking into the hall, and immediately came up to greet him with the gift of thanks he had prepared. "Miss Lin, my master picked this out specially to thank you for bringing him the news. Do you like it?"
The gift given by the male protagonist this time really suits the children's preferences. It is a set of small and exquisite animal statues made of pure copper. There are as many as 12 of them, and each one has a unique shape and is lifelike. Some of them even have small pulleys on their feet so they can slide.
Little Yining just casually glanced at these exquisite bronze small animal statues, then reached out without hesitation and grabbed the tiger statue in the center. He looked at it carefully as if he was dazzled by it, a bright and happy smile appeared on his face, and he exclaimed "Wow".
Seeing this, Wan Niang hurried forward to pick up her daughter and gently reminded her, "Qing Jie'er, why don't you thank your second uncle?"
The little kid just woke up from his dream and smiled shyly, "Thank you, second uncle."
When the young eunuch saw that the little boy was happy, he also showed a happy expression.
He carefully handed the plate with the small animal statue to Zhao Ya who was standing next to the child. Just as he was about to tell her the second purpose of his visit, a clear and tender childish voice reached his ears: "The piglet that Sister Leng gave to my uncle today is not pretty. The one that Second Uncle Grandpa gave to Sister Qing is better looking!"
These complaints came from Xiao Yining's truest feelings from the bottom of his heart.
During the day, although she felt helpless about the heroine's IQ, at this moment, what really left her speechless was her unique way of thinking.
Looking at the delicate and ingenious little animal statues in front of her, she really couldn't understand how the heroine could be so confident in presenting the Peppa Pig family.
When the young eunuch thought of this, he was speechless, but he still had to make up for it.
He shook his head slightly and sighed, "Miss Leng is a child at heart. She likes the Second Prince so much that she gave away her favorite things, which angered the Queen Mother. My master has already reprimanded her and asked her to reflect on herself in the house."
He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yining and her daughter, and continued to complain to his master, "My master is a man after all. Even if he is worried about Miss Leng, it is not appropriate for him to control a girl too much."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yining understood that the hero had locked up the heroine for secret training again. This time, although the heroine's IQ was questionable, she had indeed made a lot of progress. It was unknown what the heroine would become when they met next time.
She, Lin Yining, has been promoted to be the witness of the heroine’s growth.
People cannot teach others, but things can teach people quickly.
Seeing that the kid was still playing with the little animal statue and didn't seem to care about what he had just said, the young eunuch smiled and took out a letter from "Lin Yuzan" from his sleeve.
He said to Wan Niang, "Madam Lin, when the steward of my palace came from his fiefdom, he met the scholar Lin who was traveling to study. He entrusted him with a letter from home and gave it to you."
This sudden letter left Wan Niang stunned for a moment. She suddenly remembered her husband's advice to her not to believe any news from anyone.
Then, tears welled up in Wanniang's eyes. She took the letter and said with a choked voice, "Please, sir, thank the steward for me."
Little Yining also stared at the letter with wide eyes. Although she knew it was fake, she didn't expect the male protagonist to care so much about her father. Her father should not show any signs of his true colors at the moment!
She raised her eyes and quickly glanced at the eunuch's expression. She immediately understood what was going on and said to her mother anxiously, "Mom, does Dad miss me? Come and see."
At this time, Pei Yi, the background board, also came over and took Xiao Yining away. "Cousin, hurry up and take a look at what cousin wrote."
Wan Niang finally came to her senses and gave the young eunuch a shy smile. She tightly grasped a handkerchief in her hand and gently wiped away the fake tears that seemed to be there in the corners of her eyes. She said softly, "I am really sorry to have embarrassed you, eunuch."
After saying that, she slowly turned around, carefully opened the envelope, unfolded the letter, and looked at it carefully.
Little Yining, who was standing nearby, was gently placed on the ground by a fellow villager. He also ran to his mother's side, stood on tiptoes, and stared at the letter curiously.
Seeing this, the young eunuch couldn't help but chuckle: "I didn't expect Miss Lin to be able to read letters."
"She's just joining in the fun. She doesn't recognize many words." Pei Yi replied indifferently.
Then, he changed the subject and asked, "Eunuch, I wonder if the steward will return to the fiefdom?"
When the young eunuch heard this, he immediately understood what he was referring to, so he responded, "Could it be that Master Pei wanted him to take a letter to Scholar Lin? If so, it would be quite a coincidence. He should be able to meet Scholar Lin on his way back this time."
Before he finished speaking, the little girl who had just read the letter pounced on his thighs, and at the same time, her cheerful voice rang out: "Brother Eunuch, can you help me deliver the letter to Daddy?"
The young eunuch was obviously a little surprised. After a moment of shock, he immediately smiled and promised: "Since Miss Lin has asked me to do so, I will definitely do it for you!"
As soon as these words fell, the little boy said happily, "Then eunuch brother, please help me write it. I miss my dad!"
Young eunuch: ...
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene of his sleeves covered with snot that day.
Pei Yi obviously remembered this matter, and said with a smile, "Thank you for troubling me, father-in-law. My cousin doesn't allow us to help Qingjie write letters, lest she become lazy."
Wan Niang had also finished reading the letter. She turned around and bowed to the eunuch, saying, "Thank you, sir. I will write back to my husband immediately so that he won't miss home while he is away studying."
The young eunuch was in a dilemma. He glanced at the darkening sky outside and met three pairs of eyes filled with eager expectations. He felt helpless and had to stay.
But in just a moment, he regretted it deeply.
The situation was so similar. He was still sitting in the Lin family's study. The only difference was that today he was facing four children instead of two.
In line with the principle of equal treatment, Xiao Yining called both Lin Yinhu and Wang Gungun to write the letter.
The young eunuch glanced sideways at the young boy who was talking on the side. He had a good memory. Last time, this boy used various methods to ask him for a hundred taels of silver.
When Lin Yinhu saw the young eunuch stop writing, he immediately asked sympathetically, "Eunuch, is the word I just said too difficult to write?"
"...No, please continue, young master." The young eunuch lowered his eyes and looked at the letter he was writing. It was a lot of nonsense. He wanted to write down how he spent his every day in the letter.
He sighed softly, then looked up at the two little kids waiting there, feeling tired and thinking that he might not be able to finish writing the letter all night.
