Chapter 606 Wanquan's Heart Knot
Wanquan was ready to let Fubao digest the food, but the little girl yawned and fell asleep after a while.
"Uncle, please sit for a while. I'll take my sister to her yard."
"Let me do it. You've been tired all day. Go and take a rest."
"I'm not tired. My second uncle must be tired after driving the carriage for so long, but I still want to have a drink with him."
Fubao was there just now and the two of them didn't drink. Now that Fubao has fallen asleep, it's a perfect time for the uncle and nephew to reminisce about the past.
"That's fine, but this girl likes to kick the quilt when she sleeps at night. She doesn't sleep well at all."
"Don't worry, Uncle. I told Banxia and Baizhi that one of them should sleep with their sister at night. It's okay."
Banxia and Baizhi are both skilled in martial arts, so if Fubao makes any movement at night, both of them can detect it.
Wan Laoer was relieved then, and watched Wan Quan gently pick up Fubao and walk out.
Wanquan returned only after settling Fubao.
"Uncle, come here. We haven't had a drink together for a long time. The last time you came, it was too sudden and the house was not ready yet. Now you have a home. Next time you come to Dezhou, just come directly to the General's Mansion."
"Well, good, Quan'er, you are now the face of our Wan family. Our family is finally proud of itself. Our family is now the most prestigious in Shizi Village. Even the county magistrate..."
When Wan Lao Er mentioned Shen Jinyuan, he paused for a moment, because he thought of Wan Lao Da and Shen. Although Wan Quan agreed with Wan Lao Da marrying Shen, he could see that the child had no intention of going back and might still remember his biological mother in his heart.
When his mother died, the child was sad for a long time. How could he not see it?
Moreover, the eldest sister-in-law died without a complete body while on the road of exile. There is not even a bone left. Now even if we want to build a cenotaph for her, we can't. Wanquan is successful now, and he must have some resentment towards his father in his heart. This is probably also the knot in Wanquan's heart, right?
Wan Quan saw that his second uncle stopped talking about the county magistrate. He looked up and saw a look of unnaturalness on Wan Laoer's face.
“Second Uncle, I know what you are thinking. Everything is over. I don’t blame my father. He is old and we are not around. It happens that Aunt Shen takes care of him, so I am relieved.”
Wan Laoer sighed, patted Wan Quan's shoulder, lowered his head and picked up a glass of wine.
"Okay, let's stop talking. Let's have a good drink today."
"Hey, come on, I'll give a toast to Second Uncle."
The two of them took turns drinking, reminiscing about what happened in Yangliu Village and on the road to exile.
They drank until midnight, and both of them were drunk. Finally, they were helped back to their room by the servants and tossed and turned for half the night before they fell asleep.
The next morning, Wan Laoer was still sleeping soundly, but Wan Quan had already gone to the camp in the suburbs for training.
When Fubao and Wan Laoer got up, everything in the mansion was still the same as yesterday, except that Wanquan had not returned yet.
"Second Master, the general has ordered that you and the young lady should eat by yourselves after you get up. He said he will be back soon and will take you and the young lady to visit Texas today."
"Miss, are you up?"
"Well, the young lady is washing up and will be here soon."
"Okay, I'll go wait for her first."
Wan Laoer was brought to the dining room by the servants, where breakfast was already on the table.
Fubao had also finished dressing up by this time.
Banxia was very skillful and she combed Fubao's hair into a bun that was most popular among the young ladies in the city at that time.
Although it was Fubao's first time staying in the general's mansion, her bedroom was fully furnished.
The closet is full of clothes, ranging from spring and summer to autumn and winter, all of which are cut according to her sizes at different stages of life. Because Wan Quan didn't know when Fubao would come back, he asked a tailor what size clothes a child should wear and thoughtfully prepared clothes for Fubao all year round.
There were many head ornaments in the dressing box. Wan Quan didn't know what kind of head ornaments women liked, so he asked the magistrate's wife for help. The magistrate's wife had a little daughter, so he asked the magistrate's wife to help him prepare all of Fubao's head ornaments.
When Fubao woke up in the morning and saw this overwhelming love, she was deeply touched by her brother's doting. She touched and looked at every piece of clothing. Every piece of clothing was very beautiful and made of top-quality materials.
Fubao is a very smart person. Even though she usually seems like she doesn't care about anything, she knows everything in her heart.
She knew that her elder brother was silently repaying her.
Fubao waved his hand and ordered Banxia and Baizhi.
"When you have time, pack all these clothes for me. I want to take them all back to the border. I like all these clothes very much, and the headdresses too. I have never seen them before."
Although Banxia and Baizhi were confused, the rules prevented them from questioning their master's decision.
Fubao was expressing her gratitude to Wanquan in her own way. It seemed that these clothes were made according to her size. If she didn't take them away, it would be a waste. If she took them all away, her big brother would definitely be very happy.
Fubao walked around the room happily, feeling the love and affection from her big brother. After careful observation, she found that every corner of the room was carefully decorated. Every stool was covered with soft cushions embroidered with small animals, and the stools in the room were obviously shorter than normal. The whole room was decorated in pink, and some sharp corners were rounded. Was he afraid that she would fall and bump into something?
Fubao's eyes were filled with smiles and he was deeply moved.
"Okay, I'm hungry, let's go have breakfast? Is big brother home?"
"My lady, the general is not here, but he came this morning and said that you should have breakfast when you wake up. He will go to take care of military affairs first and will be back today to accompany you to stroll around the streets."
"Really? That's great, Sister Banxia, Sister Baizhi, let's go quickly."
When Fubao heard that they were going out, she was very excited. She ran out holding a maid in one hand.
"Miss, please go slower, be careful not to fall."
Banxia reminded with a smile.
Wan Quan has already instructed Banxia and Baizhi that if Fubao says or does anything unusual, they should just follow her and there is no need to correct him specifically because it is useless.
The three of them came to the dining room, and Wan Laoer had been waiting for a while.
"Daddy, good morning. You don't look very energetic. Did you not get enough rest? Do you want Fubao to take a look at you?"
Wan Laoer's eyes were a little swollen and his head was a little dizzy.
"It's okay. I had a few drinks with your eldest brother yesterday. I drank a little too much. I may not be sober yet."
"Dad, drinking is harmful to your health. Don't drink too much in the future. If you are really happy, you can talk more. Drinking can't express your happiness. On the contrary, there are many things that you can't say because you are drunk."
Fubao persuaded Wan Laoer in a serious manner, and he looked like a little adult.
Banxia and Baizhi stood behind, lowered their heads and gently raised the corners of their lips.
"Daddy, I'll remember this. I won't drink too much in the future. Come on, let's eat."
Wan Laoer was afraid that Fubao would continue talking, so he quickly used eating as an excuse to prevaricate.
When Fubao saw the table full of delicious breakfasts, including various buns made into cute animal and flower shapes, she couldn't bear to eat any.
The chopsticks in his hand moved from one plate to the next, and he didn't pick up anything for a long time, looking very confused.
