3418 Great Uncle
Wanyan Qianhua glanced at the young man, then smiled and said, “Feng’er, your aunt’s appearance will stay the same as it is now, no matter how many years pass. But you, it’s been so long since we last saw one other that you’ve nearly grown taller than me.”
The young man smiled shyly when he heard this. He was only as tall as his Aunt’s chin; he wasn’t very tall yet!
“Feng’er, please call him Great Uncle Shisan.” Wanyan Qianlan, who was beside him, gestured for his son to greet the man.
“Feng’er pays respects to Great Uncle Shisan.” The young man stopped walking and bowed respectfully to Wanyan Shisan.
When Wanyan Shisan heard “Great Uncle,” a weird expression came over his face. “Great Uncle? That sounds so old!” Despite what he said, his hand moved, and he gave the young man an item from his space.
“You shouldn’t call me Great Uncle for nothing. Take this, it’s a meeting gift from your Great Uncle.”
The young man looked at his father, unsure about whether or not to accept the gift.
“Why don’t you thank your Great Uncle?” Wanyan Qianlan said with a smile on his face.
“Thank you, Great Uncle Shisan.” The young man thanked him and happily took the gift. He looked at it from every angle. He was even happier when he saw that it was a defensive treasure artifact.
Wanyan Shisan glanced at Wanyan Qianlan beside him, “Your name is Qianlan? You look much older than Qianhua.”
When Wanyan Qianlan heard this, his mouth twitched and he was left speechless for a moment. He figured his son calling him ‘Great Uncle’ made him say this.
Wanyan Qianhua chuckled. “Thirteenth Uncle, are you bullying my elder brother? You know very well that I’m the daughter born to my father in his old age.”
Wanyan Shisan snickered but said nothing else. As they walked, they arrived in Wanyan Qianhua’s courtyard. When he heard that Wanyan Qianlan was going to prepare a courtyard for him, he waved his hand and said, “No need to prepare another courtyard for me. Qianhua’s courtyard is big enough, and it has a lot of rooms. I’ll just pick one and stay there.”
He thought that he wouldn’t stay long anyway, and he was more familiar with Qianhua better than anyone else in this manor. He wouldn’t know who to talk to if he lived too far away. He was careless by nature and wouldn’t be concerned with issues such as the separation of genders. He was, after all, Qianhua’s uncle. Living in the same courtyard was not a problem for them.
“Is this appropriate?” Wanyan Qianlan was stupefied. Since when did an uncle live in his niece’s courtyard? It was against etiquette.
Wanyan Qianhua chuckled. “Big Brother, it’s fine. Let Uncle Shisan stay in my courtyard. We have plenty of rooms anyway.”
When he saw that they both agreed, he didn’t say much and just said, “Alright, you must be tired after your journey. Rest for a while! I’ll have a meal prepared in the kitchen.” He then walked away with his son.
When they left, Wanyan Shisan turned to Wanyan Qianhua and asked, “You’re not going to stay here for a long time, are you?” At first, he thought they were just going to stop by for a quick visit and then go, but this unexpected situation happened.
Wanyan Qianhua sighed quietly as she sat at the table, propping up her chin with one hand. “Not a long stay, but I definitely will be staying for a while. You’ve seen the situation with the family. I haven’t been back for so many years, can I just stay a few days and leave?”
“Alright then! Just stay! It’s still early for Feng Jiu’s wedding anyway!” He said indifferently.
Wanyan Qianhua did not reply, instead placing a hand quietly on her stomach…
