Chapter 22 The little old man is pathetic

Knowing that his granddaughter was going to give him a seal, Mr. Wen's eyes became red again.

He looked at his granddaughter carefully, "Mianmian, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course." Wen Mianmian stepped forward, "I think my grandfather's calligraphy and paintings are the best. Don't worry, grandfather. When grandma comes back, I will definitely find a way to get him to agree to your painting without scolding you."

"Really, your grandmother would agree?"

The old wife never looked directly at him and looked down upon him in her heart. If it wasn't for the sake of gaining a foothold, she wouldn't have slept with him and had a son. Otherwise, why would she have given him a concubine even though she was pregnant?

In these years, I would not see him if I could, and would go to live in the temple every now and then. It was because he had no future and was not worthy of his old wife.

"It's up to people, Grandpa, please tell me what your name is."

Seeing his granddaughter's eyes shining, the old man took a deep breath, lowered his head and wrote the words of his seal on the paper.

"Wen Xizhi." When Wen Mianmian read out each word, the old man nodded, "My grandfather's name is Xizhi."

"It turns out it's my grandfather's name."

Wen Mianmian's eyebrows curled up with a smile, and she put away the declaration with the name written on it, "I'll go back and choose a good-looking seal, ask someone to engrave it for my grandfather, and then stamp and mark all of my grandfather's paintings.

"

She was happily thinking that as long as she thought of some way to promote her grandfather, those paintings would become a hot commodity in the future.

The old man's first thought now was not the seal. He looked at his granddaughter eagerly, "Mianmian, is there any way you can make your grandmother look at me in the eyes in the future?"

Facing his expectant gaze, Wen Mianmian sighed quietly. Although she didn't know what happened back then, a noble girl from a high family had no choice but to marry a man who was unsatisfactory in every way. Her grandmother must have felt

She must be feeling aggrieved and unwilling, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to coldly and violently torture her grandfather for so many years.

"I will try my best." Although it seems difficult.

The old man smiled, and Wen Mianmian was stunned for a moment. Don't tell me, this little old man looks pretty good when he smiles.

He has fair skin and a smooth forehead, unlike ordinary old men with wrinkles and age spots on his face, and his smile is quite handsome.

"Grandpa, you should smile more from now on. Look how handsome you are. Don't always walk with a hunched back. You should straighten your back like daddy."

"Straighten your back?"

The old man is used to shrinking, and he always feels that it is safe to shrink himself up like this.

"Yes, grandma is coming back soon. I can't help but feel happy just to see you walking with your head held high. You will practice today and start now." Wen Mianmian regained her energy, "Put your hands behind your back and straighten your back.

,Yes, that’s it…”

Just like that, the grandfather and grandson turned around, and the old man practiced walking stiffly in the yard under Wen Mianmian's guidance.

Wen Mianmian was thinking about the seal. When she went to return the painting that night, she found a reason to get a piece of jade suitable for making a seal for herself.

Mrs. Wen took the scroll and ordered Nanny Liu to find jade for her. During the process, she asked curiously: "Mianmian wants to carve a small seal for herself?"

"Yes, I heard that many girls' families have their own little seals, and I want to have one too."

"Well, Mianmian has grown so big that it should have a small seal."

Since Wen Mianmian accepted her again, Mrs. Wen feels that her life has been really comfortable recently. In addition, Xiaoyi has also adapted to the college. She comes back happily after going out every day. She is becoming more and more fond of Wen Mianmian.

of love.

Aunt Liu found two pieces of jade suitable for carving seals, and said with a smile: "Both of these two pieces are agate jelly, and both are suitable for carving seals. Which one do you like, girl?"

Wen Mianmian immediately spotted a piece of jade with yellow stripes in the middle. It looked like a distant mountain, "That's it."

Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "This one looks pretty good. Take it."

"Thank you, mother."

Wen Mianmian happily returned to Caiyunju with the jade. Lingguo watched her playing with the piece of agate jelly, and heard her asking where to engrave a seal. He hurriedly said: "Miss, you have forgotten that the eldest son once gave you a piece of colorful stone."

"Dong, it's so beautiful, I said at that time that I wanted to carve it into a seal."

After saying that, she quickly went to look for it, and soon she came with a piece of colorful jade. The jade stone shimmered under the light and was so beautiful. Wen Mianmian happily took it and looked at it over and over. To be honest, she still didn't know what I had given him.

How much property did she leave behind?

"Lingguo, isn't your girl going to live next door? Please count how many things I have so that I can have an idea."

Lingguo is such a comfort to me. The girl who never liked to pay attention to these things is finally sober and knows that she needs to take stock of her property~

"Girl, I have kept all the valuable things well, now I want to take you to see them?"

"Let's go and take a look."

What is the mentality of a social animal who suddenly becomes rich?

You can tell from the joyful expression on Wen Mianmian's face as he took out one valuable item after another from the box.

"Girl, most of these things were brought back to you by the general and the eldest son. It is said that this armband belongs to the princess of a small tribe."

"There are also this small box of gems and these finger-sized pearls, which the eldest son brought back from the army the year before last. They are waiting for you to tie them into jewelry when you get your hair."

"There is also this red gold necklace inlaid with gems. Not many noble ladies in Kyoto have it."

Following the introduction of Lingguo, Wen Mianmian felt pain and happiness. To say that there was no money in the house, it meant that she really had no money. Even if she had money, she had money. After looking at the dowry, she realized that there were two warehouses in the house, all of which were piled up by her father.

The trophies captured by my brother and me on the battlefield over the years.

It is said that everything that can be sold has been sold, and the ones still in the warehouse are either too expensive to sell, or it is inconvenient to take them out, so they can only be kept to gather dust.

"Okay, put them all away, we will carve the seal tomorrow."

By the way, let’s check out the market for calligraphy and painting.

After so many days of getting along, she has established a pretty good friendship with the little old man. He is a very simple little old man. It is very sad to stay alone in the house like this. She wants to help him gain the support of everyone in the house.

love and respect.

Early the next morning, the old man who got up early put away all the paintings he had taken out in the past few days. His wife was coming back, and she didn't want her to get angry looking at these things.

"Grandpa, shall we go out for a walk today?"

Wen Mianmian, who didn't sleep in for the first time, entered the door with a smile, stepped forward and took out the piece of agate jelly, "I'll carve a seal for you."

When the old man saw the agate jelly, his eyes were shining with gold. He took it and rubbed it fondly, "This is agate jelly. It is very precious. Can it really be used to carve my seal?"

"Okay, let's go."

The old man was delighted, and the grandfather and grandson went out happily.

Seeing the affectionate backs of the two of them, the woman who was waiting in the Hanyuan pursed her lips and muttered to herself: "I don't know how the old man managed to make the girl happy and let her hang out with him all day long.
