Chapter 276: Beautiful clay figures?
Chapter 276: Beautiful clay figures?
Although Pei Yi said that he would return to the academy after Xiao Yining recovered, he still waited for more than ten days. The scars on his body were almost gone before Xiao Yining felt that he was healed.
The Lin family still kept their doors tightly shut, and except for necessary shopping, almost no one went out.
"People outside are saying terrible things about my cousin, saying that God is jealous of his talent and he will not live long. They even made a limerick about this matter and spread it all over the streets and alleys. Even a three-year-old child is singing it." Qiu Yi told the rumors she had heard to her masters as a joke.
Little Yining, who was still a few months away from turning four, said, "Sister Qiu Yi, I can't sing yet."
"Don't talk about unimportant things." Pei Yi hurriedly stopped him.
In the past few days, he has witnessed how outrageous a woman's mouth can be when she has nothing to do. He plays the bad guy almost every day to separate the mother and daughter.
"But Sister Qing thought that if she learns it, she can sing it to her uncle." Little Yining blinked and talked nonsense.
Pei Yi looked at her cunning appearance and changed the subject: "Why did my cousin-in-law go to Dongfeng Pavilion for so long? I don't know what delayed her."
Today, Wan Niang went to Dongfeng Pavilion early as agreed to get the safety lock, but she still hadn't returned when it was almost time for lunch.
"Then where are we going for lunch?" Little Yining immediately stopped thinking and asked the most important question in life.
"Go to your grandma's house. There's meat."
The ever-victorious general lost to the princess because of the word "there is meat".
Duke Chen had been engaged in military campaigns for many years, drinking and eating meat every day. After several decades, he lost his temper after retiring and developed high blood pressure.
In order to live to see Pei Yi have children, he began to give up drinking and eating meat, and lived a hard life to preserve his health. Of course, Qingshan Jun and Lin Yinhu, who were staying with him, also lived this simple life.
The two little ones didn't want to torture the old man, they could only watch them eat meat with envy, so they went straight to Wang's house.
Li Anhe had already prepared meals for the two little ones. When he saw them really coming over, he complained to his daughter in a low voice and ordered the servants to serve the meals.
Little Yining looked at Wang Lin who was having dinner with them, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Second Uncle, hasn't the Dali Temple asked you to go back yet?"
Wang Lin nodded with a depressed look on his face: "Yes, but I went to the Dali Temple yesterday, and they gave me this month's salary."
Xiao Yining understood clearly that his second uncle was just earning an empty salary that everyone envied.
Seeing that he looked depressed, she didn't ask any more questions to avoid making him more sad.
After all, her father and eldest uncle had angered Lu Cheng'an, so it was normal for him not to want to see his second uncle.
And my second uncle's great ambition to catch all the criminals in the world will probably have to be shelved here.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yining remembered the two old men who went to North City. When they left, they told her not to let her second uncle know about this trip.
They all didn't want Wang Lin to live a life of killing for the rest of his life, and Wang Lin didn't like fighting. Instead, he was interested in solving cases, which was completely different from the content of the book.
In the book, he is a majestic general!
Wang Lin saw that his niece also looked gloomy, so he quickly said, "Sister Qing, don't you like clay figurines? Second uncle has money now, and I will take you to make some nice clay figurines later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Anhe hit him on the head, "Why are you going? These two kids just got into trouble a few days ago and they haven't even been caught. If you take them out and something happens to them, how are you going to explain to your sister?"
Everyone tacitly concealed the truth from the honest Wang Lin.
Xiao Yining shrank her neck when she saw this. This was none of her business and she did nothing.
Pei Yi also hurriedly advised: "Brother Lin, Sister Qing already has two clay figurines. If you add a few more, they will just gather dust there."
"Ah?" Wang Lin asked in confusion, "I only made a clay figurine for Sister Qing!"
"Second uncle, there is another one that Princess Anping gave me." Xiao Yining answered truthfully.
She suddenly remembered that Wang Lin had not seen the ugly and cute clay figure, so she turned to look at Qiu Yi.
Qiu Yi understood what he meant and quickly ran back to the room to get the clay figure.
At this time, Li Anhe had already told his second son about Princess Anping. In summary, she was beautiful and kind-hearted, and he got along particularly well with her, like a close girlfriend.
"Princess Anping is a generation younger than mother, but she takes care of mother in everything. Linzi, when you see her, you must respect her well." Li Anhe made a special reminder at the end.
"Don't worry, mother." Wang Lin replied honestly, and then he saw his niece put down the bowl, opened the small cloth bag, and took out a strange clay figure from it.
She held the clay figurine up to her face and said, "Look, second uncle, this was made by the princess' aunt for Qingjie herself. Does it look like Qingjie?"
Everyone present was shocked by the clay figure. Except for Wang Lin, everyone else was concentrating on eating.
Wang Lin stared at the clay figurine in a daze for a moment, then he said in fascination, "This clay figurine is more exquisite than those sold on the street. Second uncle has never seen such a beautiful clay figurine."
Everyone:...
Xiao Yining: Wow, I didn’t expect my second uncle would speak sarcastically.
"Uh... Sister Qing, can you lend this clay figurine of yours to your second uncle for an hour? I'll go to the street and ask someone to make me an identical one and then return it to you." Wang Lin asked.
"..., the same?" Little Yining blinked her big eyes and saw that Wang Lin's eyes were full of desire. She turned to look at her abstract clay figurine, her eyes shining slightly.
It turns out that the CP she was supporting was not broken and can continue.
She quickly handed it over and said with a smile, "Second Uncle, you can make an identical one for Sister Qing. This one was made by Aunt Princess, and Sister Qing will put it in Second Uncle's room, okay?"
Wang Lin was immediately moved. "Thank you, Sister Qing."
The two looked at each other and smiled, both showing their satisfied smiles.
Wang Lin carefully put away the clay figure, fearing that his own strength would destroy it.
At this time, Wan Niang, who had been delayed outside for a long time, finally returned with a victorious smile on her face.
She held the ten boxes and put them heavily on the table, then opened one, took out a newly made safety lock and put it on her daughter.
"How can you be a mother? Don't you see that Qingjie is still eating?" Li Anhe immediately started to blame when he saw this.
Wan Niang seemed not to hear it, and instead asked her daughter with squinted eyes, "Qing Jie'er, look at this and see if it is the same as the one Dad used before."
Xiao Yining raised the safety lock and looked at it carefully. "It's the same, mother."
Wan Niang nodded in satisfaction. "Of course, when I first went to get it, there were a lot of missing lines on it. I have been embroidering for more than ten years, so how could I not notice it? I immediately asked the craftsman to fix it for me. Although a few lines are crooked, it's not too bad."
She was very angry when she thought about this incident, and she even paid some more silver.
The next moment she took out another one and put it on Pei Yi.
Pei Yi: ...
"Ayi, you can wear one to the academy to keep yourself safe."
"...Thank you, cousin." Pei Yi moved his neck uncomfortably. He raised the safety lock and his ears turned red unconsciously.
Xiao Yining took out her own safety lock and touched it lightly with his, and said with a smile, "Uncle, we are uncle and nephew."
"……,Um."
Wan Niang put another one on Wang Gun Gun, who was serving as a background board, and then she held the remaining boxes and left in a hurry like a proud peacock without even eating a bite of food.
Wang Gungun was overjoyed and ran to Xiao Yining to show off, "My aunt also brought me one."
Xiao Yining glanced at him calmly and said, "Just borrowing my light, huh."
Seeing that the children had no appetite, Li Anhe threw his chopsticks in anger and yelled at Wang Ersheng, who was standing in the background, "Look at the son and daughter you taught. What kind of words are they saying? You've corrupted them."
Wang Ersheng waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It was the same when we were young. Don't blame them for the bad behavior."
"..."
Li Anhe left angrily.
Now Wang Ersheng was the only one left, eating his meal with relish.
Wang Ersheng: Children are more lively. I don’t know when I will be able to hold my grandson, but I have saved enough money for the betrothal gift.
