Chapter 8 Farewell
For the next two days, Whelan lived peacefully and peacefully.In addition to going to the mourning hall to pay respects in the morning and evening, I also have dinner with my uncle and the others at night to connect with each other.On the afternoon before they left, my uncle and aunt hosted a farewell banquet for my uncle and aunt at home, and Whelan naturally attended.

The two families drank tea and ate vegetables (drinking is not suitable for funerals), and chatted.The two sides have one civil and one martial arts, and there is no silence.Scholars can also talk about heroes in the army and their ambitions; although warriors are heroic, they can also tell anecdotes about imperial examinations and interesting talks about literati and scholars.

It turns out that although civil and martial arts have different paths, they are not incompatible.For two people from different walks of life to have a good conversation, they need to understand each other and be willing to match their interests.Whelan ate the food silently, and exclaimed that she raised her posture!
The two ladies also talked a lot about children.One is forthright and the other gentle, which is quite speculative.

Whelan was deeply impressed. As expected, women throughout the ages have become mothers, and children are definitely 80.00% of their topics.

In the end, the topic inevitably turned to Whelan.Both sides turned on the business bragging mode, and the output was as fierce as a tiger, which made Whelan, who thought she was slow and thick-skinned, blush.

After it's over, the two of you are not selling slow-moving products, so there's no need to do this.She is a short-legged pea ding, who is not yet five years old. It is nothing to praise her for being filial and considerate. Isn't it a bit exaggerated to praise her ability, sensible, and outstanding beauty?Although it's about her when she grows up, don't exaggerate.Expectations are too high, if she fails to meet, then you have a gap, don't you?

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, but Whelan still hopes to develop in a humble way.

"All of you are Hui'er's close relatives. I just listened to it with the cheek behind closed doors. If it spread outside, wouldn't people say that your mother-in-law sells melons—is she boasting? Then I will have no face to face others." Hui Lan covered her face with her hands in a pretentious manner, smiling coquettishly.

The mutual boasting finally came to an end, followed by motherly love.The uncle's family is full of reluctance and concern, and the aunt's family is naturally confident.You are grateful, I am humble, and in the end, we are a loving family.

In the end, Huilan followed her uncle's family to serve tea to her aunt's family, and everything was entrusted to your family; then Huilan and her aunt's family wished her uncle's family a smooth journey and all the best with tea instead of wine.They held hands and talked for a long time, until it was dark, and the farewell banquet broke up.

They sent off the aunt's house together, and the uncle and aunt dragged each other to explain and explain again, and Che Rulu talked back and forth.Feeling grateful for their concern, Whelan resisted the urge to yawn and seriously agreed.

Finally, the aunt said, "It's getting late, let the child go back and rest. These words have been said before, Hui'er is a smart child, and he will remember. Look at you, I wish I could tell you what I have said for several years." Having said that, it’s not like I won’t be able to see you again. In the future, the family will be full of filial piety and come to the capital to be an official. The child is right under your nose, so why not let you see it?”

Uncle sighed when he heard the words, and his expression became more relaxed, "You are right, but I am also blind. Good boy, go back and rest, and don't forget to write a letter."

Whelan got off her chair and saluted decently, "Uncle and aunt have to go on the road tomorrow, so they should rest early. It's getting warm and cold outside, so remember to add or remove clothes on the way, and pay attention to what you eat. Make sure everything goes smoothly. of."

Uncle and aunt nodded in satisfaction, and told her to pay attention to her body and eat well. After a while, Whelan left and went back.

Today, Mama Wang followed, "Mom, don't forget to tell the kitchen, get up early tomorrow morning, and make some good cakes and dry food for uncle to take with him on the road. They wake up early and work hard, and mom will give some rewards."

Ms. Wang readily agreed, and said that those who can do it will get up early and go to the kitchen to take care of them, making sure that the food they cook includes not only the special products of the capital, but also the favorite food of my uncle.

Whelan praised her nanny and went to her room after chatting some gossip.After changing and washing, Whelan lay down in bed.

Counting in my heart, the horses have been fed, and two more horses have been prepared; the car has been inspected, and a layer of cushions has been added to reduce the bumps; the gift has been delivered, and the heart has been expressed; After reading it, they are all delicious and healthy. They are healthy and healthy. I will send the cakes tomorrow morning and see them off.

Perfect, Whelan felt relieved and fell asleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, when it was dark, Whelan was dug out of the bed.Whelan was packed up and carried to the mourning hall in a half-dream and half-awake state. Her uncle and aunt would pay homage to her father and then set off. She needed to be there.

After completing a series of rituals, the sky became slightly brighter.Whelan ate a hearty and light breakfast with them, and talked again.Then take the capable servants at home and send them out together.Although everyone was sad, they all had smiles on their faces.

Whelan felt that she was becoming more and more like a child, who loves to cry and laugh, and is very self-willed and coquettish.Said on the mouth of the smooth sailing, the eye circles are red.

Maybe, she wasn't born to be the invincible steel female warrior like before.It's just that I lost my parents when I was about to become an adult, and since then almost no one loves and loves me, so I have to learn to be strong and independent.Although the ones in front of her were not her parents, they made her feel the warmth of home.

Uncle sighed, patted her head and didn't speak.My aunt was more emotional, her eyes were red, and she even dabbed her eyes with a veil, hugged Whelan reluctantly, and whispered comfort in her ear.

After all, she wasn't a real child, so she quickly adjusted her emotions.I searched my stomach and said a few witty words, which made my uncle and aunt laugh.Only then did she seriously say a few auspicious words and urged them to get in the car.

Seeing a group of four carriages and four horses disappearing from sight, Whelan returned to the room with a little melancholy.She was bored all morning and didn't eat much for lunch.So I brought in Mrs. Wang, and asked her well, and strongly suggested asking a doctor to take a look at her.

Whelan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. She had also taken traditional Chinese medicine before, and it was so powerful that she could send someone away on the spot.She quickly pulled a smile on her face and sincerely said that she was not sick or in trouble, but she had eaten too much a few days ago, and her performance at noon today was a little abnormal.

In addition, her uncle and the others went home, and she felt a little bit reluctant, which led to a sharp drop in her appetite, and she definitely didn't need a doctor.

Whelan even jumped out of a chair and trot around the room while speaking to prove his innocence.She managed to make Ms. Wang and the maids laugh, but she still hesitated after laughing.

So Whelan decisively changed the subject, "Mom, how are you guys making lists and writing regulations?"

Mama Wang said seriously, "The old slaves have checked the account books of various places, and all kinds of lists have been listed. You only need to check them one by one, seal them up and make a new book for registration. As for the articles of association, few of us haven't written them yet. , I'm thinking about it." After talking about it, she felt a little embarrassed.

I understand, you all have experience in handling things and you have a method in your heart, but I guess you haven't written a plan, not to mention... Whelan is struggling, they should not be able to read much... right!

Whelan laughed awkwardly, she forgot about this, not to mention that their servants don't know many words and they may not know how to write. In addition, at her current age, even if they know how to read, the number should not be too much.They really wrote it out, so she shouldn't be able to understand it!

Rolling her eyes, Whelan comforted with a dry smile, "It's all right, you're all old people who are just inexperienced in handling errands. How about this, you all estimate this matter as a whole, how long it is expected to take , how many people, how much money, just tell me.”

Mother Wang breathed a sigh of relief, "Understood, this old slave will go back and discuss with them, and I will be able to answer the girl tomorrow at the latest."

It's fine if you don't want me to take the bitter medicine, Whelan nodded again and again, and then sent her out of the door politely.

Seeing her disappearing figure, Whelan secretly made a gesture in front of her, and she escaped unharmed, throwing flowers.

After such a toss, Whelan was revived with full blood, so there was no slightest melancholy.She dismissed the maids, rolled up the quilt, and took a lunch break alone happily humming.

 Welcome new friends, don't forget old friends, thank you for your likes.
