Early the next morning, just as it was getting dark, there was a knock on the courtyard door of Old Xu's house.
Because they are going to participate in the pre-match training for the dragon boat race today, neither Xu Lao nor Xu Lao need to get up early, so it is rare for the family to sleep in.
The knock on the door sounded so early, which was really annoying.
"Open the door, dad, mom, eldest brother, second brother, I'm back!"
Outside the door, Xu Laosan's voice sounded.
Then, Boss Xu rushed out of the house wearing a short coat and bare feet and opened the courtyard door.
Outside the courtyard gate, Xu Laosan and Shen Wansheng, the prefect of Xiangyi Prefecture, were standing upright.
"Uh, second uncle, morning!"
Boss Xu was really surprised when he saw Shen Wansheng standing at the door.
It’s too early for this person to come so early in the morning!
"Eldest nephew, you haven't gotten up yet!"
Shen Wansheng was also a little dumbfounded when he saw Boss Xu's appearance. This time I came to visit, but I came too early, and I felt that something was a little bit wrong.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Boss Xu quickly responded, "Second uncle, let's talk first!"
Following the conversation between Mr. Xu and Shen Wansheng, Mr. Xu in the hall also got up and shook Mrs. Xu awake.
"Daughter-in-law, hurry up, my second brother is here!"
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she quickly got up.
"Second brother, are you here?"
When Mrs. Xu got up, Mr. Xu was already getting dressed and walking out without wearing any shoes on his feet.
"Brother, I seem to be here a little early, please forgive me!"
After Shen Wansheng woke up in the backyard of Xujia Restaurant in Sanhe Town, he saw Xu Laosan sleeping next to him. Considering that Xu Laosan had to go to the county town to study, Shen Wansheng decided to visit early.
After all, now that I have recognized my eldest brother, I have to come and recognize my eldest brother, and I have to pay my respects to my eldest sister-in-law, right
At that time, Shen Wansheng also felt that it was inappropriate to come so early.
But Xu Laosan said that his eldest brother and second brother always get up so early to work, and everyone in the family gets up early.
So, Shen Wansheng followed.
Who would have thought that this was not the case at all.
When Xu Laosan told what happened, Mr. Xu laughed and said, "Second brother, this is just a coincidence!"
"There will be a dragon boat race in Anshun County next month. Your eldest nephew and second nephew are both dragon boat racers in the village. Today is the day to gather for practice, so there is no need to go out and get up a little late!"
"I see, it's just that I came a little too abruptly, little brother!"
Shen Wansheng still felt a little embarrassed.
"Second brother, don't say that. You and I are sworn brothers, Jinlan, and we are all brothers. These are not important things!"
Mr. Xu waved his hand indifferently.
At this time, Mrs. Xu walked out of the house holding Fu Bao.
As soon as he saw Mrs. Xu coming out, Shen Wansheng glanced at Mr. Xu and said, "Brother, is this Mrs. Sister-in-law?"
"Shen Wansheng has met Madam-in-law. Madam-in-law is well!"
Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment when she saw a gentleman like Shen Wansheng for the first time, but she quickly came to her senses and returned the greeting.
Mr. Xu quickly introduced Shen Wansheng to Mrs. Xu, then took Fu Bao from Mrs. Xu's arms and introduced him to Shen Wansheng.
"Second brother, look, this is your eldest niece!"
Shen Wansheng looked intently at Fu Bao, who was being held by Mr. Xu. Looking at Fu Bao's big, smart eyes, he felt that this child was particularly intelligent and lovable.
Shen Wansheng subconsciously took off the jade pendant he was carrying and was about to give it to Fu Bao as a meeting gift.
"Second brother, you can't do it!"
This is a jade pendant worn by a prefect of a prefecture. Could it be an ordinary item
Mr. Xu waved his hand and said: "It's too precious, it's too precious!"
"Brother, please don't shirk it. This is my uncle's gift to my niece!"
"This is my intention as an uncle, you have to accept it!"
Shen Wansheng's attitude was extremely sincere.
When Mr. Xu saw this, he could only accept the greeting gift, "Fubao, do you see, this is a greeting gift from your second uncle to you. When you grow up, you must remember to kowtow to your second uncle!" "
Fu Bao's bright eyes looked at the jade pendant in Mr. Xu's hand, and he suddenly let out a cry. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to grab the jade pendant in his hand.
"My dear, this is a jade pendant made of imperial green jade!"
Fu Bao was so excited when he saw the touch of green in his own father's hand.
If a jade pendant of this quality was placed in the urban society of later generations, it would probably cost hundreds of millions!
What is the origin of my biological father’s sworn brother-in-law
Fubao only heard his biological father say that this was the prefect of their Xiangyi Prefecture, but what about his family background
Ordinary people, even wealthy families, would not be able to give away such a precious jade pendant!
"Huh? Fu Bao wants it?"
When Mr. Xu saw Fu Bao stretching out his hand, he really doted on her and actually put the imperial green jade pendant into Fu Bao's hand.
However, the hanging rope with the jade pendant was always held in Mr. Xu's hand.
He had been born in the Xu Mansion in the capital and had seen great wealth, so he naturally understood the value of this jade pendant.
Fu Bao's chubby little hands clenched the jade pendant tightly, and with a cry, he stretched his short arms in the direction of Shen Wansheng.
"ah!"
While stretching out his little hands, he screamed and twisted his little body vigorously.
Does this mean that you want to return the jade pendant
Mr. Xu looked at Fu Bao with some confusion.
Although I knew early on that my precious daughter was smart, how could such a tiny little baby understand this precious jade pendant
"Daughter, do you want dad to return this thing to your second uncle?"
"Ah!"
After hearing his own father's question, Fu Bao continued to call.
What else should I pay for
There is probably only one such precious thing in the world!
Besides, this is mine!
Fubao screamed, his little body twisting even more.
"Brother, I think the eldest niece wants me to hug her, right?"
Shen Wansheng became somewhat enlightened and spoke to Mr. Xu.
"ah!"
Fu Bao waved his hand, shook his head, and continued shouting.
hug
Are you kidding me
Although this girl is small, her thoughts are not small.
This girl just wants to reciprocate.
For their relatives, Fu Bao only needs to pray, and good luck will come to them. But for outsiders who are not related by blood, Fu Bao has to personally deliver blessings to the door.
She moved around and screamed, but she actually wanted to slap Shen Wansheng on the face with her little hands.
Mr. Xu couldn't figure out what his daughter meant, so he could only try Shen Wansheng's guess.
When Shen Wansheng approached Mr. Xu and stretched out his hand, Fu Bao's little hand finally touched Shen Wansheng's face.
"Oh haha, the goal is achieved!"
After meeting Shen Wansheng, Fubao made good wishes.
Then, she grabbed the jade pendant and retreated into Mr. Xu's arms. She laughed from time to time, but never showed up again.
Shen Wansheng was dumbfounded, and Mr. Xu was dumbfounded.
What does this mean
After all this time, just to touch it on your face
Shen Wansheng was really confused.
But Mr. Xu seemed to have some realization. (End of chapter)
