Chapter 99: Daddy’s Promise to Get Marriage (5)
He Minglang saw Zhao Shihua ponder for a long time after reading it, just as he was thinking about it carefully, as the master of the painting, he couldn't help but feel a little bit proud.Not everyone can have such a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, and everyone can see it.

It seems that it didn't take long for the servants to prepare the things needed to become sworn brothers.Speaking of sworn brothers, it is actually very simple, but after preparing the incense table, went to the kitchen to catch a rooster, worshiped the world, drank blood wine, and made an oath, He Minglang and Zhao Shihua became sworn brothers.

Now that he has become sworn brothers, Zhao Shihua naturally has to visit He Minglang's elders.

He Minglang first took Zhao Shihua to meet his grandmother.The old man's body looks quite rich, with a kind face. Although his ears are not very flexible, his eyes are good, and his expression always looks cheerful.She laughed every time He Minglang said a word, but it wasn't until He Minglang said it three times that she realized that Zhao Shihua was his grandson's sworn brother, and also the son of Jinke, so she gave a string of rosewood beads as a gift, and laughed again. Hehe, he called Zhao Shihua to his side and looked at it carefully, saying that he was a lucky one, and told him to come and play at home often.

Then He Minglang took Zhao Shihua to see his mother.

He Minglang's mother has been widowed for many years and is not in good health, so she rarely sees visitors on weekdays.She only has one son and one daughter. Fortunately, her son is promising. She just heard that she met Yuan in the middle of the day, and she is very happy. She also heard that her son has a sworn brother. She passed No.4 in the provincial examination, and she is also happy that her son has a good friend. .

When she saw Zhao Shihua, Mrs. He saw that he was young and handsome, with broad eyebrows and awe-inspiring righteousness. Although he was not well dressed, he had an extraordinary bearing, so she couldn't help liking him even more.

Zhao Shihua kowtowed to the old lady, held the gift of his son and nephew, very respectful.

The old lady looked at him with a smile, and asked about his family's situation, Zhao Shihua also answered one by one, admitting that she was still farming in the field last summer, and she didn't feel embarrassed about being born in poverty.After hearing his frankness, the old lady liked his frankness even more, and ordered someone to take a good inkstone and two pieces of pine smoke ink as gifts for him.

After that, Zhao Shihua met He Minglang's wife, Mrs. Wu, his eldest son He Ziqian, his second son He Ziyan, and his daughter He Linglong.

He Ziqian looks like his father, although he is only 12 years old, he is not short, with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, standing there like a zhilanyushu.He was the first to come over and kneel down to pay homage to Zhao Shihua. Zhao Shihua gave him a tiger-shaped jasper pendant that he originally bought for Brother Nan as a gift, and then helped him up: "Good boy, get up quickly." Then he said with concern Asked, "Ziqian is 12 years old this year, should he give it a try next year?"

He Ziqian respectfully took the purse handed over by Zhao Shihua, stood up and replied, "If you go back to uncle, my nephew plans to try it out next year. I hope uncle will give you more guidance when he has time."

Zhao Shihua said with a smile: "Looking at the calm demeanor of my nephew, I know that your talents and studies are not bad. With your father personally guiding you, it will not be a problem to think about your fate next year."

"Thank you uncle for your good words." He Ziqian bowed to Zhao Shihua again, and then slowly walked to the side, put away the purse and did not rush to open it, looking at his younger siblings with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, He Ziyan stepped forward quickly, respectfully bowed to Zhao Shihua and said, "My nephew son Yan has seen Uncle Zhao!" Then, he looked up at Zhao Shihua curiously.

He Ziyan is ten years old this year, looks like his mother, and is a bit more handsome than his elder brother. His eyes are very agile, and he looks like a smart child.

Zhao Shihua gave him a paperweight of white jade unicorn that he bought for Brother Qi as a gift, helped him up, and thought that he was about the same age as Brother Qi, so he asked casually, "Have you finished learning the Ziyan Three Character Classic?"

He Ziyan took the purse, saluted and thanked him, got up and said, "Returning to uncle, my nephew has already finished studying the Three Character Classic, and now he is studying the Book of Songs, and he has also learned the correct pair."

"Oh?" Zhao Shihua said on the spur of the moment, "Would you like Ziyan to hear about the two pairs?"

With his hands behind his back, He Ziyan looked at Zhao Shihua confidently and said, "Uncle, please come up with a question."

Zhao Shihua pondered for a moment, then said, "The door is facing a thousand bamboos."

He Ziyan thought for a while, then said: "The family has thousands of volumes of books."

Zhao Shihua's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help clapping his hands and praised: "Okay! That's right! It's rare that this couplet has a good artistic conception, and it's much better than Uncle's Shanglian. Uncle can't test you anymore, or I'll make a fool of myself." Said At this point, Zhao Shihua couldn't help but turned his head and said to He Minglang, "This kid has a quick mind, and he will definitely be the number one scholar in the future!"

He Minglang hurriedly laughed and said: "Young brother, stop praising him, this kid can't help but praise."

Zhao Shihua only thought of his brother-in-law as humble, and didn't take He Minglang's words to heart at all.

The last one to come up to greet him was He Linglong, who was only four years old.This child combines the advantages of his parents, his facial features are extremely delicate, his face is pink, like a dough ball, he feels happy at first sight.She blinked her big eyes and looked at Zhao Shihua, bit her finger again, and then, under her father's urging, bowed and kowtowed to Zhao Shihua and said, "My niece Linglong has seen my uncle!"

"This child is so cute!" Zhao Shihua fell in love with He Linglong when he saw it, he hurriedly got up and hugged her on his lap, and took out the Yu Linglong he bought for An Ran, and gave it to her as a gift.

"Uncle, what's this called?" He Linglong took out Yu Linglong from his purse, looked left and right, and found it very pretty.

Zhao Shihua replied patiently, "This one is called Yu Linglong."

He Linglong hugged Yu Linglong, grinned, and said to the two elder brothers: "Linglong's gift is the most beautiful! It's also called Linglong. Hehe, hehehe!"

Zhao Shihua also laughed, then raised his head and said to He Minglang: "Brother is so lucky, both nephews are very smart, and niece Linglong is cute, she looks like a lucky child, and she will be rich and powerful in the future. "

He Minglang followed with a smile, took his daughter off Zhao Shihua's lap and handed it to his wife, and said with a light smile: "This girl is so happy, it's heavy to hold, don't tire my dear brother. Do you miss your niece? Today Let my virtuous brother spend a lot of money, I am afraid that these things are all bought for nephews and nieces?"
