Chapter 289 My Aunt's Eyes Are Always on You
Wen Qilin looked down at the little brat. What was wrong with him? He was making people think that the three of them were some kind of great hero. He was speechless because of this kid.
Wen Chengjian didn't care. This child was about the same age as his younger brother Wen Chengyu. He was naughty and mischievous. If he wasn't beaten every day, he would climb on the roof and tear off the tiles. He was really at an age that even dogs would dislike.
Wenwen looked at the friendly little boy with his round face and round eyes. The way he was squinting and secretly smiling was exactly the same as when the little devils at home were being naughty. It was so cute. Sigh, she missed her younger brother and sister. Well, this was also a younger brother, and her cousin was also a younger brother.
Ren Zu'an and his two sons urged everyone to sit down quickly.
After the butler served tea, he waited outside the door.
After everyone took their seats, they chatted politely about Hao's son's studies. During this time, the butler came in to refill the tea, and Ren Zihao said, "Uncle You, go and rest. My brother and I can take care of things here."
"Yes, sir."
As the butler's footsteps faded into the distance, Wen Qilin and the others cast another spell to set up a soundproofing barrier.
Although Ren Zu'an had seen this set before, watching it again still left him dazzled and unable to discern any tricks.
However, Ren Zihao, Ren Zixin, and Ren Jinning were seeing this for the first time. Although they didn't shout or yell, their actions were perfectly synchronized: they widened their eyes, covered their mouths, and were afraid of making a sound.
Once everything was arranged, the group returned to normal and greeted each other with smiles.
Wen Qilin: "Father-in-law, eldest brother, second brother, we're back. Brother Ning, come to your uncle's place."
Wen Chengjian and Wen Wen: "Maternal grandfather, eldest uncle, second uncle, cousin Ning."
Ren Jinning threw herself into Wen Qilin's arms, her eyes blurry with tears, and asked, "Uncle, where's my aunt? Is she alright? Where are Sister Xia and Cheng Yu? And the other older brothers and sisters? Are they alright?"
This series of questions touched everyone's hearts. They never expected the child to ask such a question as his first sentence. He is so precocious for his age. No wonder his aunt Ren Xueying has doted on him since he was a child. The two families used to be very close, and the children grew up together. Their relationship is exceptionally good.
Seeing that his snot was about to drip, Wenwen had to remind him, "Little Ning, come here to your sister. Look at your messy face, it doesn't look good."
Slurp!
The snot was easily sucked back in.
Wenwen...
Okay, no need to worry about his big snot bubbles anymore.
Ren Jinning wiped her face haphazardly, walked up to Wenwen, and smiled through her tears, "Sister."
Wenwen took a chocolate out of her pocket and fed it to him, "Ah, open your mouth, I'll give you some candy."
Now that our identities have been revealed, important matters must be addressed.
The adults went into the inner room to discuss important matters, while Wenwen stayed in the outer room to soothe the children.
Wenwen vaguely heard her maternal grandfather say that they had received a reply from the Zhou family and that they would have tea at Huapinge the next afternoon.
Then her eldest uncle, second uncle, and father discussed various matters and deliberated on them. After that, they whispered among themselves. She didn't listen to the details, but in short, she was good at taking action but not at thinking. With so many people thinking, there was no need for her to join in.
She's better suited to mindless childcare.
However, Wenwen was particularly curious at this moment, "Brother Ning, I have a question for you, you can't lie."
"Tell me first, what's the problem?" The child was quite wary.
"Exactly, how did you recognize your uncle and sister?"
"Oh, this?" Ren Jinning put down the toy in her hand, tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Because of my uncle's eyes."
Wenwen thought to herself, "It really is because of the eyes." But she still had a question: "Is there any difference between different eyes?"
"Of course it's different. My uncle has my aunt in his eyes."
What the hell!
What a crazy answer! This kid is only a few years old, yet his answer covers so many different issues.
Wenwen persisted: "...Then who is in your eyes, sister?"
"Nobody else, your eyes look like your aunt's."
Wenwen almost choked on her own words. What did he mean by "nobody"? Her heart was pounding, it was pounding all the time. Her heart was filled with her family, okay?
This little brat keeps calling me "Auntie," it's so annoying. Even though the auntie the child is talking about is his mother, Wenwen had a mischievous thought and continued to ask, "Then do you know who your auntie thinks of?"
The child looked at Wenwen and said earnestly, "You're all I see in my aunt's eyes. She said you're the apple of her eye, and you're the most important person in her heart."
Oh my god, what's going on? It was just a simple question, but it made her feel her mother's love again, indirectly from the mouth of a little kid. She suddenly wanted to go back to the valley, and she suddenly wanted to hug her mother. Sigh, she missed home!
Wenwen shook off her homesickness and an idea popped into her head. She leaned closer to the child and whispered, "Brother Ning, your aunt really likes an article. Would you like to learn it and read it to her?"
"Hmm? What article? I haven't been in school for very long, and I don't know many words." It's normal for a child to be worried.
"It's not difficult. Sister says one line, and you say one line. Give it a try."
"OK then."
Wenwen cleared her throat and spoke softly, "The energy of heaven and earth originates from all things..."
The siblings, one teaching and the other learning, were clearly heard by Wen Qilin and Wen Chengjian in the inner room.
Regarding the matter of cultivation, they had discussed it before. They would find a suitable time to give the manual to Ren Zu'an. Whether the Ren family members wanted to cultivate was up to them. If they decided to cultivate, the Wen family would do everything they could to help, just like the Ye and Wei families, so that everyone could progress together.
Wen Qilin looked at the evidence on the table and recalled everyone's discussion. All the details and specific matters had been settled, so it was time to talk about other things.
"Father-in-law, eldest brother, second brother, let's leave this matter here. Now let's talk about the Ping brothers."
When it came to the affairs of Ping and his brothers, Ren Zihao and Ren Zixin were truly worried sick.
Since the incidents involving Ping and his brothers, rumors about the Ren family have been rampant. The once bustling mansion is now deserted. Many prominent families keep their distance from the Ren family, fearing to get into trouble. Although they did not kick them when they were down, the Ren family still felt the coldness of human relationships.
However, on their way home today, they heard something that might be a turning point.
Ren Zihao, with clear eyes, said to the others, "Father, I heard today that the Grandmaster of Medicine King Valley has returned from his travels and will soon be staying at a temple in the suburbs of the capital. Qilin, do you think this is an opportunity for Ping and his brothers?"
The patriarch of Medicine King Valley?
Wenwen, with her sharp ears, overheard the conversation inside.
I wonder if the ancestor of Medicine King Valley that my uncle mentioned is the same ancestor they know, the Old Rascal.
If that's the case, she'll definitely have to say a few words.
Who said our master went on a journey? What a joke! For the past year or so, our master has been in the valley either cultivating or playing with his younger siblings, walking chickens and fighting dogs. There's no such thing as a journey. Nonsense! Utter rubbish!
