"Ayuan, there seems to be something wrong with Prince Dingnan's palace. Why don't you go back?"
Shen Huaiyan had very good information in the capital, and of course he would tell Wen Yuan immediately if it concerned King Dingnan.
Hearing that something happened at home, Wen Yuan was very anxious, "What's the problem? Couldn't you just tell me?"
"I can't explain it in a sentence or two. You'd better go and see for yourself."
Wen Yuan frowned and opened the space rift. When he came to Dingnan Palace, he saw that the atmosphere here was very gloomy. Those who didn't know it thought someone was dead in the palace.
She found Queen Dingnan and asked hurriedly: "Father, has something happened in the palace?"
"How did you know?" In fact, after asking this question, King Dingnan felt a little regretful. Once he thought about it, he knew that Wen Yuan would definitely put his own people in the capital to keep an eye on him.
"Shen Huaiyan told me. Father, please tell me quickly. Did something happen?"
"Nothing happened, it's just your mother's incompetent brother here."
"My brother-in-law is here?" Wen Yuan recalled that before his mother passed away, the palace would never allow him to come in.
Now that his mother is dead, he found an opportunity to come here. Thinking of these Wen Yuan is very upset. His mother's family also ignores this little uncle. Everyone avoids him like the god of plague.
"What is he doing here?"
Wen Yuan regretted it as soon as he asked. What else could be the reason, other than that he had no money and came here to ask for money.
King Dingnan glanced into the distance. Wen Yuan followed his father's gaze and saw a man with an evil smile walking towards them.
Although this little uncle is not a good person, he is very good-looking and is only a few years older than me. Now is the time when he has the most mature male charm.
As soon as the man stepped forward, he saw Wen Yuan, a grown-up girl who was completely different from her childhood. If he hadn't just heard her calling King Dingnan his father, he would have thought that this was his brother-in-law's new concubine. Woolen cloth.
"Xiao Yuan'er has grown into a big girl now."
"What a big girl. In the mouths of some people in this capital, I am an old girl."
Hearing her say this, the man smiled heartily, "He is still as talkative as when he was a child."
"I said, little uncle, what are you here for? You're not here to ask for money from my father again, are you?"
The man was not annoyed when she said this, "That's not true. I heard the news of my sister's death outside, so I rushed back here."
"It took you so long to get the news?"
"Who do you think is like you, who has demonic power and knows demonic magic, and can travel from the extreme north to the extreme south with just a move of his hand? Besides, I was in the West when I got the news. It would be great to be able to come back. You The little heartless guy still picks on me."
Although this little uncle has always been disliked by the family, Wen Yuan actually likes to get along with him and feels that he is very open-minded about some things.
"I think you just don't have any money. You want to get some when you come back."
"In your eyes, uncle, this is who I am."
"Yes, that's what you are."
Wen Yuan rolled her eyes at the other person, shook off his arm on her shoulders and returned to her room.
But this time they all thought wrong. This time the man came back just to pay homage to his sister and had no other ideas.
When Wen Yuan watched him kneeling in front of his mother's memorial in despair, he vaguely saw his mother's shadow on him, "Uncle, after all these years, don't you plan to get married?"
"Why do I have a family? I am free and at ease alone. I can go wherever I want and be with whomever I want. Why do I need multiple people to constrain my freedom."
Although Wen Yuan felt this way deep down in his heart, in today's world, unmarried people like them are always described as being like monsters and monsters.
The man sitting next to him looked at Wen Yuan and suddenly became curious, "I heard that you, the little girl, are quite playful. Do you have your own harem?"
"What a harem? Don't listen to the nonsense of those people outside. There are two men around me, one is Shen Huaiyan and the other is Jue. I'm having a headache for them right now. Don't bother me by mentioning it."
The younger uncle who had been there could see Wen Yuan's thoughts at a glance, "Oh, that's why, without love, I am light. Learn more from your younger uncle, and be happy and carefree alone."
"But didn't you also fall because of a woman? You also had a falling out with your family. You have been wandering alone for so many years, and you only came to my mother when you ran out of money."
It can be said that Wen Yuan's words did not give the man face at all, but the man has become calm now and does not care about Wen Yuan. If it were in the past, he would have fought with her to the death.
He looked at the lone geese flying in the distance, his heart full of melancholy, "So, after that incident, I spent a long time trying to get relief, but one day I suddenly realized why I had to live so tiredly. You can just eat and drink by yourself, why bother with so much? If you have wine now, you will get drunk now."
"You really lived a free and easy life." Wen Yuan gave her mother a stick of incense and left the ancestral hall.
The man looked at Wen Yuan's back and wanted to say something to her, but in the end he stopped his urge to speak.
There were not so many annoying things and people in Dingnan Prince's Mansion, and there was no need to see Shen Huaiyan and Jue, so Wen Yuan didn't want to leave as soon as he settled in.
Wen Yuan found it quite interesting when his uncle was around. He would always tinker with some novel things to appear in front of him.
"What did you get this time? Uncle, have you been to my yard too often recently?"
"How could it be? Look what I brought to you this time."
Although Wen Yuan said he was disgusted, his body was still very honest. When he looked closer, a sweet smell came from the bowl.
"What is this? It smells so good."
"Guess what it is." The man raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Yuan.
Wen Yuan didn't guess correctly for a long time, and he was about to lose his temper when she saw that she couldn't guess again. The man quickly replied: "It's milk tea, it's from our place... No, it's a drink I learned in the West, and I improved it." Give it a try, try it."
Wen Yuan, who was holding the porcelain bowl, glanced at his uncle in front of him strangely, but after thinking about it, he let it go. After all, he often did this and always said something they couldn't understand.
Everyone thought he was abnormal, only Wen Yuan thought this man had some secret.
She took a bite of the goat's milk-like thing in the bowl, and Wen Yuan completely opened the door to a new world. Her eyes lit up, and she ate something very chewy, "What are the little balls in here?" "
"I knead it with tapioca flour, so let's call it pearls. Does it look as round as pearls to you?"
"So what is this drink called?"
"Pearl milk tea, if you like, I can make it for you often. Anyway, I have a lot of ingredients at home, and I can also develop some new flavors."
Wen Yuan was obviously upset by this bowl of so-called milk tea, "Okay, okay, make more of it, I will drink it every day."
The man looked at her and remembered something about Wen Yuan's childhood, "Do you still remember the day your mother kicked me out, and you chased me out and hugged me and cried for a long time?"
"It happened a long time ago, why did you suddenly remember it?" Wen Yuan searched for the cassava balls in the bowl with a spoon and asked him while eating.
"I suddenly felt a little emotional. At that time, people in my family thought I was a freak. Even your mother and my own sister despised me. You were the only one willing to get along with me, and you didn't think the things I said were strange. .”
Wen Yuan thought for a moment. Since he had already talked to her, it was necessary for him to express his inner thoughts, "Sometimes I just think about what you said and did. Maybe it's too ahead of its time. Just like you You say that there is no distinction between master and slave in the house, and that everyone is equal. I agree with your point of view, but it is not applicable in the Dragon Kingdom. Maybe tens of millions of years from now... such a thing will indeed exist."
"And what you proposed about the country paying for poor children to have school education is too idealistic. It is impossible to realize it in the Dragon Kingdom. But I don't think there is anything wrong with it, but... maybe your ideas are too much. You don’t fit in anymore, you know?”
The man agreed with what she said. He nodded and touched Wen Yuan's face with his big hand, "Sure enough, I still like to talk to you as a child. You have many ideas in your mind that others can't surpass. This is great."
"You are also great. Your unachievable ideas and ideal ideas are all great."
The man looked at the flying birds outside the window, "How do you know that we will not realize the ideas I proposed in the future? Maybe one day, there will be something that can fly in the sky like a bird. We don't need carriages, but Faster transport was used instead.”
"Maybe, maybe all this can be realized, but I shouldn't be able to see it."
Wen Yuan also followed her uncle's lead and looked out the window. Her attention was entirely on the blue sky and white clouds, and she did not hear the man murmuring: "I have seen it before, in my hometown..."
In the end, the uncle left in despair. Wen Yuan looked at his somewhat thin back and felt from the bottom of his heart that this man seemed pretty good.
After he left, Shen Huaiyan suddenly appeared in Wen Yuan's room, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering how my little uncle knows so much, and why he has so many good ideas."
Hearing Wen Yuan's words, Shen Huaiyan didn't find it strange, "Maybe he doesn't belong here in the first place."
"What do you mean?" Wen Yuan looked at him strangely.
"Haven't you heard some weird stories? As I told you before, some people can travel in time and space."
Wen Yuan always thought that this thing was just a story, made up to scare people, but it was true...she couldn't understand what her uncle said, and he used to be really crazy and forgot many things...
