Doesn't this mean there won't be rifts between brothers
Xiaocao glanced at her father, then glanced at her fifth uncle. Well, it seemed like her worry was unnecessary.
Wenren Shaojian really didn't have any unnecessary reaction, still with a somewhat idle and casual tone, completely lacking the stability that a man in his thirties should have. He was well maintained, and if he deliberately dressed younger, without knowing the inside story, it would be hard to judge his age just by looking at his behavior.
Xiao Cao lowered her head and chuckled. Her fifth uncle was just rebellious for a little while. He went from being a playboy to an older playboy. I wonder if he will continue to be an old playboy. It seems that there are old playboys in the imperial city. For example, there is an old prince in the royal family who eats, drinks and has fun. Young people are far behind. Her fifth uncle is not a criminal, so it doesn't seem to be a big deal even if he becomes an old playboy.
"What are you laughing at, little girl?" Uncle Wenren asked with dissatisfaction, "You have the same idea as your father. Is it that I, your uncle, am embarrassing you in public?" He threw all the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box.
"What are you talking about, Fifth Uncle? You are my Fifth Uncle, good or bad." Just like Wen Renxiang, even if everyone in the Wen family dislikes her, she is still the daughter of the Wen family. However, "As for the issue of face, isn't it up to yourself?"
Wenren Shaojian was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "That's right, and no one is more qualified to say this than you."
Wen Renxuan's current glory was truly earned entirely by herself. Even in the beginning, the Wen family probably only gave her a simple step, and nothing more. At that time, the Wen family had not yet stood at the pinnacle of power, and many people could belittle and look down on her just because she grew up outside and was a female doctor.
On the contrary, in just over a year, she had reached an unprecedented height and brought countless honors to the Wen family. What she had was truly due to herself.
Wenren Shaojian picked up another chess piece and continued playing. He was a useless uncle, the kind of uncle that would embarrass his niece if he was mentioned in public. So he decided to give his niece, who had brought honor to the Wen family, a good beating at the Chessboard Mountain.
Xiaocao lost game after game, but his mentality was quite stable and he didn't feel like being abused at all.
The people watching the fight nearby all looked at Wenren Shaojian accusingly, their eyes were like knives.
However, Wenren Shaojian was also a young genius. When he "fell", he was also subjected to a lot of criticism from all sides. He was invulnerable and had almost developed a thick skin. This was nothing to him now. Since everyone couldn't do anything to him, they gradually dispersed and went out to play in groups of three or four.
In the end, it was Wenren Shaojian himself who became bored first.
Before Wenren Shaojian left, he gave Xiaocao a flat square box. Xiaocao was curious, so she opened it and looked at it. She was speechless for a moment. Inside was a piece of jade. It was white, looked crystal clear, and had a faint luster. It was really beautiful. It was so big that it could be held by five fingers spread out. Xiaocao's first thought was "He's Jade". Of course, it was definitely not the He's Jade.
However, it doesn't matter. Xiao Cao reacted quickly and said, "Uncle Wu," and hurriedly chased after him, "Please take it back. It's too valuable. I can't take it."
Wenren Shaojian waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's valuable or not. It's just a dead thing. If you want it, keep it. If you don't want it, just dispose of it as you like." Then he left.
Xiaocao has obtained countless treasures. It can be said that nothing that can enter her private vault is not precious. In her previous life, even the world's top billionaires could not compare with her. After all, some things cannot be obtained just by having money.
After all the money was converted, I didn't know how much it was worth, but, under normal circumstances, who would sell those things for money? So according to what Wenren Shaojian said, it was just a dead thing, and that was true.
So, there are so many treasures, it seems that they are less precious than this one.
—Of course, even so, you still have to put it away carefully.
However, there are differences between men and women. Even fathers and daughters cannot be so close, let alone uncles. So Xiaocao only maintains the most basic relationship with her uncles. Except for the second uncle whom she has a particularly bad impression of, the other three seem to be the same. So, Xiaocao is very confused as to why the fifth uncle gave her such a valuable thing today.
Xiao Cao was not sure whether Aunt Wu knew about this, but if she went directly to Aunt Wu, what if it caused conflicts between them? After thinking about it, it was more appropriate to go directly to her mother for help.
"Your fifth uncle gave it to you, so just keep it."
"Is it really okay? Things like this should be left in Uncle Wu's fifth room and given to his cousins."
"Xuan'er, these things are inanimate objects after all, so don't worry too much about them. What you can give to the fifth room is far more than a piece of jade."
Xiao Cao was silent for a moment, and then said, "Well, why did Uncle Wu suddenly give me such a valuable gift?" Everything else seemed to be normal, such as New Year's Day and birthdays, and it was fine as long as the thought was there.
"Well," Han smiled and said, "Mother really knows. I heard from your fifth aunt that you are probably the first person in our family who trusts that he is not always unreliable and out of tune."
"ah?"
"It's just your ninth sister's marriage."
Xiao Cao laughed, "Although I do think so, it's just a passing remark. In the end, it's because I don't know Uncle Wu that well."
"Whatever the reason, as long as your fifth uncle is happy, that's all."
That’s true.
