Four-bedroom plum garden.
Wei Luo and Wei Changhong came to visit this nominal younger brother together.
To be honest, Wei Luo really couldn't have a good impression of this child. Let's not talk about how he did a lot of evil and had bad morals in his previous life, just being "Du Shi's son" is enough for her to hate him. But there was no way, Wei Kun asked them to come over, so they had no choice but to come over and have a look.
Wei Changmi was still young and his body was weak, so Qin arranged for him to live in the same room with him temporarily.
After stepping over the threshold, she saw a rosewood cradle in the center of the main room. Sitting at the side, Mrs. Qin tucked Wei Changmi into a swaddle, and behind her stood two nurses in purple begonia pegs. Wei Luo stepped forward, stood on tiptoe and looked inside the cradle, only to see a crumpled little monkey lying inside, with a bright red face, no facial features, thin, and not at all good-looking.
Qin greeted the two of them with a smile, hugged Chang Hong to let him see the child, and asked, "How is it? Is my brother good-looking?"
The two little guys said in unison: "It's so ugly."
Qin couldn't help but "puchi" a smile, rubbed the tops of their heads, and explained patiently: "My brother is still young, and newborn children are like this, and it will gradually look better in the future."
Wei Luo kept silent, no matter what Wei Changmi looked like in the future, she would never wait to see him. He has a vicious mother, innocent or not, he is destined to be unlikable.
The baby in the swaddling baby heard the voice and cried a few times, it seemed that he was about to wake up. He raised his fist and rubbed his cheeks, and slowly opened his eyes. Those eyes were seven quarters like Du Shi's, big and narrow, and they would look a little mean and difficult to get along with when they grew up. Now the little guy cried a few times before looking at people with his dark eyes, his eyes fixed on Ah Luo and Chang Hong, quite curious.
Ah Luo didn't like his eyes, and stretched out her hand to close them for him, but without warning, he held one of her fingers, babbling, and then stuffed it into his mouth!
Ah Luo was caught off guard, Wei Changmi stuffed his thumb into his mouth, and opened his eyes wide in horror. The baby's mouth was soft and wet, full of saliva, she immediately withdrew her hand, gave a disgusted "噫" and shook it, "It's so disgusting..."
Wei Changmi had no idea that he was disgusted by her, blinked his eyes and continued to look at her.
Qin Shi laughed out loud, and wiped Wei Luo's hands with a silk handkerchief while laughing, "It seems that Chang Mi likes Ah Luo very much, and I will eat your fingers when we first meet..."
Wei Luo pursed her lips, her face full of unhappiness. This is not liking, this is clearly malicious! It made her hands full of saliva, dirty to death.
This little guy is just like Du Shi, annoying.
After wiping her hands clean, Wei Luo stepped aside, wrinkled her face and watched the wet nurse feeding Wei Changmi. Although Wei Changmi was thin and small, he was unambiguous when he sipped milk, his whole face was buried in the nurse's white breast, and his voice was so loud that Wei Luo could hear it. He ate with gusto, and was not full on one side. The nurse switched to the other side, and he sipped for a while before he was full.
Really edible.
Wei Luo rested her cheeks, thinking silently.
After people have seen it, there is nothing wrong with them. Ah Luozheng was about to go back with Chang Hong, when he saw a person rushing in at the door. The red jacket, suede boots, and long and narrow phoenix eyes are none other than Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng's face was very pale, maybe it was the wind and snow outside or something. Panting, she stopped at the door, turned her gaze around, landed on the baby in Qin's arms, and rushed up without saying a word. When Qin asked her what was the matter, she pursed her lips and reached out to snatch Wei Changmi!
Surprised, Qin subconsciously hugged the child tightly. However, Wei Zheng refused to let go, and she was worried that the two of them would accidentally injure the child by fighting, so she had to let go temporarily, but her tone was much stricter: "Azheng, what are you going to do?"
Wei Zheng snatched Wei Changmi away, and stared angrily at the people in the room, "This is my younger brother, my mother's child, not yours! I want to take her to my mother."
After all, she was too young to hold a baby, and Wei Changmi was very uncomfortable in her arms. As a child, there is only one way to express discomfort, and that is crying. Wei Changmi cried loudly in her arms, wow-wah, the voice was so loud that it broke the heart.
Qin stood up in a hurry, stepped forward and said: "Chang Mi is crying, return it to Auntie quickly, Azheng is obedient. My brother is still young, he will get hurt..."
Wei Zheng shook his head, tightly wrapped around the swaddle, "I don't! I won't give it back to you, my mother would be sad without a brother, she cried!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran outside. Wei Changmi cried out of breath in her arms, and looked at Qin shi helplessly, looking very pitiful. Qin hurriedly asked the maid at the door to stop her, but she was small and flexible, and she slipped past the maid as soon as she lowered her head.
Seeing that she was about to run up the verandah, Qin Shi was anxious and was about to send someone to inform Wei Kun, but Wei Zheng in front of her suddenly stopped!
Qin stepped forward suspiciously, walked around to Wei Zheng to see what was going on.
It turned out that Wei Changmi had just finished breastfeeding, and was uncomfortable being hugged by her, and he spit up milk within two steps. The little guy vomited all over Wei Zheng's neck, until Mrs. Qin came over, he was still crying.
Mrs. Qin took Wei Changmi over, glanced at Wei Zheng who was in a mess, and said helplessly to the maid: "Take Fifth Miss down to change clothes. In the future, when Fifth Miss comes to Plum Garden again, let me know first."
The servant girl quickly responded and led Wei Zheng away.
Before he could go far, Wei Luo, who followed closely, couldn't help laughing out loud. She held her belly, her smile was bright, and her laughter was crisp and sweet.
Wei Zheng turned around and gave her a gouged look, both ashamed and annoyed.
It was dusk when Wei Kun came back from the Imperial Academy. The sun was shining brightly, and the orange-red light sprinkled on the glazed tiles, and the entire British government was shrouded in clouds and clouds.
He heard about the Ginkgo Garden from his subordinates, changed his official uniform, put on a purple cashmere crane cloak, and decided to go there to have a look.
The ginkgo orchard had been noisy all day, but it finally calmed down now. It's just that it was too quiet and lifeless, as if even the yard was full of depression.
He walked into the room, walked around the four magpie-climbing screens, and saw Mrs. Du sitting on the ground in a daze. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were thin, and she only wore a cape over her middle sheet. It was winter now, and even though there was a brazier burning in the house, it was very cold to sit on the ground. But she didn't realize it, as if she had lost the ability to think, and the tears had dried up, leaving only emptiness and despair.
Du Shi lowered his head, and a pair of powder-soled soap boots suddenly appeared in front of him, with gold thread embroidered on the side of the shoes. She raised her head and met Wei Kun's neither sad nor happy eyes. Tears that she thought had been drained came to her eyes again. She crawled up to Wei Kun, grabbed his hand hanging by his side and begged: "Master, Chang Mi is me!" You can't treat me like this to the flesh and blood born in October... Fourth sister-in-law already has three sons, and Chang Mi will suffer if she goes to her. Please give him back to me, he is my son... he is my son …”
At this time, she was still thinking about other people's faults, and had never reflected on her own problems at all.
Wei Kun stared at her with lowered eyes, unable to discern the emotions in his eyes, "Do you feel sorry for Chang Mi?"
Du Shi nodded again and again, her son, how could she not feel distressed! It's only been a day, and she can't stop thinking about how he is doing, whether he is crying or making trouble? Did the fourth sister-in-law treat him well? Did she mean him? The more I think about it, the more helpless I feel, and the more I think about it, the more painful I feel.
Wei Kun nodded, and he asked, "Have you ever thought that when I sold Ah Luo to Yazi, my heart would feel bad?"
Du Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized. He wants to take revenge on her and let her taste the feeling of separation. She opened her mouth to speak, knowing that she should admit her mistake at this time, but she just couldn't say it... She held Wei Kun's hand tightly, hoping that he would consider the relationship between the two of them and forgive her this time.
Unfortunately not, Wei Kun said calmly: "Sisao will take good care of Chang Mi, you don't need to worry about that. You can live here with peace of mind, don't think about him anymore, just treat yourself as a dream, never gave birth to this child."
Du looked at him absent-mindedly, and forgot to speak for a moment.
How can I forget? When she was locked up in the ginkgo garden, only Chang Mi was with her. If she was fine, she would talk to Chang Mi. He was her only hope! Now that even this little hope is gone, she would rather die than live.
Mrs. Du begged him: "Let me meet him, I haven't seen him yet..."
Wei Kun withdrew his hand, took a step back and said, "I can't let you see him yet. Chang Mi is weak and needs to be taken care of. I will arrange for you to see him when he is full moon."
Du Shi's eyes darkened, "One month?"
Wei Kun said, "It's okay if you don't want to see him."
She hurriedly said yes, one month is one month, as long as she can see the child, she can do whatever she wants.
After Wei Kun left, she finally regained some sanity. She kept reassuring herself that a month is not too long, it will pass in the blink of an eye, and then she will be able to reunite with Chang Mi's mother and son. Wonder what her son looks like? Does it look like her? Thinking of this, she was both happy and sad, and shed tears again after a while.
Little did they know that the child's feelings were the most direct. Although she was Wei Changmi's biological mother, Wei Changmi had been living with the Qin family for the past month, and they never left each other day and night. A month later, Wei Changmi didn't know her at all, and only got close to Qin Shi.
The third day of December is not only Wei Changmi's full moon, but also the birthday of the British Duke Wei Changchun.
This year happened to be Wei Changchun's 60th birthday. Wei Changchun and his wife Luo Shi decided to throw a big banquet together to celebrate his birthday and Wei Changmi's full moon banquet.
The scene was very lively that day, the British government hosted a banquet for many people, including important officials of the imperial court, as well as nobles from wealthy families, all of whom had good relations with the British government. Before the banquet started, a lot of emerald and vermilion-covered luxury cars parked in front of the British residence, surrounding the street in front of the gate.
The guests are led by the concierge to the front hall, while the female relatives go through the Chaoshou veranda to the flower hall in the backyard.
Around noon, almost all the guests invited by the British government arrived, except for one person who was late. I thought he wasn't coming and was about to have a banquet when a servant came in and preached: "Master, Prince Jing is here."
