Chapter 48 The Second Uncle of the Bai Family

Before Liu Xiran could react, the strong man dropped his burden and trotted over and hugged her in his arms, "You're back, they won't let me in!"

"Uncle, why are you here..." Liu Xiran was stunned. This second uncle was farming in the countryside after being kicked out of the house by the Bai family. Why did he come to Liu's mansion today?

Zhao Yun separated the man from Liu Xiran, and asked cautiously, "Xi'er, do you know him?"

"Well, he is my second uncle." Liu Xiran nodded.

"Who is this?" The strong man looked at Zhao Yun who was standing beside Liu Xiran, and asked with raised eyebrows.

"This is Zhao..."

"Is that the second uncle? Hello, I'm Xi'er's friend, Zhao Riyun." Zhao Yun stretched out his hand and shook his somewhat dirty hand without hesitation.

"Oh, hello." The strong man nodded, "I'm Xi'er's second uncle, and my name is Bai Weida."

"Second Uncle, let's go in first." Seeing this, Liu Xiran quickly pulled the strong man over, glanced at Zhao Yun, and walked inside.

Bai Xuezi was also surprised to see her second brother coming all the way, "Second brother, go take a shower and change your clothes, otherwise the master will have a bad impression of you when he comes back."

"Sister, I specially picked a few pieces of sweet potatoes from home, and I want to give them to you and brother-in-law. Our sweet potatoes, you know, are sweet and delicious." Bai Weida laughed profusely, sweating profusely.

"Second Uncle has a heart." Liu Xiran said with a smile seeing her mother not answering, fearing that Second Uncle would feel that she was rejected.

Liu Yun hated this kind of dirty poor relatives who came from the countryside the most, Bai Xuezi ordered the maid to boil hot water and urged Bai Weida.Liu Xiran supported Bai Xuezi to sit down, watched the servant girl lead the second uncle out, and said, "Mother, at least the second uncle came all the way, you can't act unhappy, although the second uncle is a rough People, but I can still feel it, which makes the second uncle so sad."

Bai Xuezi raised her head and frowned embarrassingly, "I know, but your father doesn't like people from her mother's family who came here..."

"Maybe Second Uncle will go back after staying for one night this time." Liu Xiran said comfortingly.

"Normally they won't come..." Bai Xuezi still couldn't untie her frown.

"..." Liu Xiran couldn't help but think that the last time the second uncle came was a year ago. He said that the land in the house was deserted and there was no harvest. He wanted to ask for some money. Luckily, Liu let his mother handle it by herself, and then left her mother in the cold months.Could it be that the second uncle came here again for money...

Bai Weida came out of the shower, shaved off his beard, and became a lot angrier than before. Liu Xiran pulled him to sit in the back garden, and hurriedly asked, "Second Uncle, why are you here this time? Home Did something happen?"

"No, it's nothing, I just miss your mother, come and take a look." When Bai Weida said this, his eyes flickered.

"..." Liu Xiran knew at a glance that he was not telling the truth, and the second uncle was the kind of person who couldn't tell a lie. "The second uncle won't even tell the truth to Xi'er?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Bai Weida said, "Actually... I want your mother to find me a wife."

"Daughter-in-law?" Liu Xiran thought she was asking for money, but she didn't expect to ask for a daughter-in-law this time... She blinked her eyes, "Second Uncle..."

"It's not that there are no matchmakers in the countryside who come to propose marriage, but those girls either ask how much your family earns in a year, or they mock you when they hear that you are not Liu Shangshu's in-laws, why are you so poor..." Bai Weida also said this. With a gloomy face, "Come here and ask your mother to help you figure out a solution."

Liu Xiran was silent. Speaking of which, the second uncle is indeed not young anymore, he looks a little rough, but he can still read a few words, and his nature is relatively shy and simple, but because of various reasons, he has not yet married.Every time my mother talks about it, I still feel a little uneasy.But Dad's temper...

"How about it, Second Uncle, my mother and I have kept this matter in mind, if we find a good girl, we will definitely pay attention to you, okay?" Liu Xiran comforted, "I'll arrange you to live in the inn first, okay? "

Bai Weida stood up, "Can't I see my brother-in-law?"

"This..." Liu Xiran hesitated to speak in embarrassment.

"I've studied a lot this year, and I've also learned some manners, so I promise I won't make my brother-in-law hate it." Bai Weida said anxiously.

Seeing that the second uncle was so persistent, Liu Xiran couldn't refuse firmly, so he had to wait for Liu Yun to come back.When it was time for dinner, Liu Xiran deliberately stood at the door waiting for Liu Yun to come back, wanting to tell him in advance about the arrival of the second uncle at home, only to see Liu Yun get off the sedan chair with a smile, but quickly turned to the next room. Bending down in front of the sedan chair, Liu Xiran lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and saw a slim figure slowly coming out of the sedan chair. She was none other than Zhao Yin!

"Sister Princess..." Liu Xiran couldn't help blurting out.

Zhao Yin saw Liu Xiran standing at the door with sharp eyes, and called out with a smile, "Sister Xi'er—"

Liu Xiran stepped forward, a little surprised that Zhao Yin would come to the house as a guest, Zhao Yin looked at Liu Yun, "Master Liu, didn't you say you kept it a secret? How could Xi'er know that I'm coming?"

"The lower official definitely didn't notify the family in advance. I don't know how Xi'er..."

"I'm here to welcome daddy." Liu Xiran said hastily, "I really don't know that the princess sister will come..."

"Xi'er, what are you talking about?" Liu Yun blamed in his own voice.

"It's okay, it's okay. Xi'er is really a filial daughter." Zhao Yin looked at Liu Yun, "Master Liu is really lucky to have such a daughter."

"Yes yes yes..." Liu Yun hurriedly agreed.

Seeing this, Liu Xiran knew that it was not appropriate to say about the second uncle, so she closed her mouth and helped Zhao Yin to walk in. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yin stopped walking, stared forward dumbfounded, with a surprised expression on her face. look.Following her gaze, Liu Xiran was surprised to see her second uncle standing not far away.

"It's you!"

The two pointed at each other and said loudly.

"Weida?" Liu Yun who was standing behind came over and was surprised to see him standing in his home, "Why are you here?"

Liu Xiran asked Zhao Yin with an apologetic smile, "...Sister princess, do you know my second uncle?"

"What? He's your second uncle?"

"What? She is the princess!"

The two of them coincided with each other again.

It turned out that Zhao Yin angrily said that the reckless man he bumped into was Bai Weida...

After knowing the whole story, Liu Yun bit the bullet and acted as a peacemaker, and hurriedly apologized to Zhao Yin at the dinner table. After all, he was his aunt's younger brother, and this brother-in-law's relationship couldn't be evaded no matter how much he took it upon himself. it is good. "Princess, this is a misunderstanding, it's purely a misunderstanding... I also hope that your lord will have a lot, and don't care about my ignorant brother-in-law. Weida, why don't you apologize to the princess soon!"

Bai Weida sat upright with a serious face, but didn't move.Liu Xiran tugged at the hem of his clothes, but he was unmoved. "Second uncle..."

"I won't apologize." Bai Weida was furious, and looked at the princess Zhao Yin, "I won't apologize just because you are the princess. Your coachman was unreasonable, and the whip hit the people walking in front I still haven't apologized. The so-called world goes the way of the world, so why can you jump in the queue arbitrarily!"

"Bai Weida!" Liu Yun turned pale with shock.

Bai Weida stood up awkwardly, held his glass, held his breath, and said after a pause, "But because you are brother-in-law's guest, I drank this drink to save you."

Zhao Yin stared at him with wide eyes, and finally added, "But I still won't apologize."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and when they didn't know how to end, Zhao Yin burst out laughing, making everyone stunned.

Zhao Yin smiled and covered his stomach for a while, then looked at Bai Weida, "I never thought you'd be quite interesting."

Seeing this, Liu Yun hurriedly said, "The princess is magnanimous. My brother-in-law is a country rough man with a stubborn temper, but he didn't mean to contradict the princess. Please invite the princess..."

"He said that he insisted on not apologizing, and it was still my fault. What else can I do?" Zhao Yin shook his head with a smile, and looked at Bai Weida, "Forget it, I won't bother with you this time."

Liu Xiran pulled Bai Weida to sit down, stood up and said, "Thank you Princess Princess for your generosity, I apologize here for the rudeness of Second Uncle."

"Okay, let's eat vegetables." Liu Yun said calmly, took the wine and poured it for Zhao Yin himself, "Princess, please try it, this is the daughter's red wine that the official went to the cellar to brew for 20 years .”

"Well, Master Liu is a person who knows how to enjoy life." Zhao Yin took a sip of his wine and nodded.

"Where where..."

Liu Xiran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately this dinner ended in a harmonious atmosphere, otherwise... She secretly glanced at Bai Weida who was sitting beside him, and saw that he was still frowning, alas, I really don't know Second Uncle of Light and Heavy...

After dinner, Liu Xiran accompanied Zhao Yin to wander around. When he went to Liu Yun's study, he saw a pair of calligraphy and paintings of the Peony Pavilion hanging on the wall. , I heard that the original can no longer be found..."

"If Miss Princess likes it, I can give this painting to the princess." Liu Yun said.

"How good is this, a gentleman does not take what others like, this Princess knows this." Zhao Yin smiled and shook his head.

Liu Xiran said, "Actually, my mother has also been obsessed with calligraphy and painting recently. Can the princess sister move to see if there is any work she likes?"

"Oh? Really? That's good." Zhao Yin nodded.

Mrs. Liu, who was always by her side, showed an embarrassed smile. She looked at Liu Xiran, wondering if she did it unintentionally or on purpose, but she couldn't refuse.

And Liu Xiran had wanted to spy on Mrs. Liu's purpose of collecting calligraphy and paintings before, so this time was a very rare opportunity.

When we arrived at Mrs. Liu's room, there were two wooden boxes. They were not filled with rare treasures, but calligraphy and paintings. There were many rare and famous artists in them. I don't know that my wife has collected so many secretly...some calligraphy and paintings that even he can't collect...

Mrs. Liu stood aside in embarrassment, trying to apologize, Zhao Yin looked at a rare treasure from the Tang Dynasty in his hand, and looked at Liu Yun, "Master Liu, this one in my hand alone can be worth two years of your salary , it seems that Master Liu, your strength is really not to be underestimated..."
