When Qi Yun and Ye Jiao returned to the courtyard on the mountain, Xu Bao was already making trouble.
The child couldn't bear the hunger, plus he had never left Ye Jiao for so long, Xu Bao kept his mouth shut and didn't cry, but the little head kept turning around and seemed to be looking for someone.
Liu Shi was also very worried. Seeing that it was getting dark and her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't come back, she was naturally anxious, but Xiaosu couldn't ask a word out of her mouth. The little girl remembered Ye Jiao's advice and hid it. If it was too tight, Mrs Liu would not be difficult for her, but she had already planned to send someone down the mountain to look for it.
At this moment, Qi Yun and Ye Jiao's carriage returned.
This time, Tie Zi drove the horse-drawn carriage with white hair on its head, while the driver brought a new horse from the pharmacy and drove back the empty carriage in front of the abandoned yard.
As soon as he entered the hospital, Xu Bao seemed to have a good heart, opened his mouth and cried!
His cries were always loud and loud. In Qi Yun's words, even the little blacks in the family couldn't suppress him.
Howling at this moment made Liu Shi who was hugging him startled.
The next moment, seeing Qi Yun and Ye Jiao hurriedly entering the door, Liu Shi first looked at them and made sure that they were all right, and then smiled and coaxed Xu Bao who was in his arms: "Look, Xu Bao is smart, and he knows how to kiss her. Mother is here, listen to this cry, it's very loud, but it's really healthy."
Mrs. Liu also laughed at the side, while Ye Jiao bowed obediently to Mrs. Liu before reaching out to take Xu Bao.
The little baby stopped crying as soon as he got into Ye Jiao's arms. Because his hands and feet were wrapped in swaddles, he couldn't move, so he could only twist his head and stab his face into Ye Jiao's arms, rubbing it back and forth, groaning in his mouth. Yes, it is obvious that he is hungry.
Ye Jiao couldn't feed at Liu's place, so she whispered, "Mother, I'm back late, you're worried because I'm tired. I'll talk to you when I change clothes."
"I should be tired after going out for the day, just take a rest after tidying up, and you don't need to look for me again." Liu Shi nodded with a smile and let Ye Jiao leave, but she stopped Qi Yun, "Erlang, wait a minute. "
Qi Yun's eyes were originally fixed on Ye Jiao, but after hearing Liu's words, she could only stop, and turned around and bowed to Liu's: "Mother."
Liu Shi looked at him with a smile on his face, and reached out to say hello: "Come here, let my mother take a look."
Qi Yun's eyes looked at the wound on his arm without a trace. Now that he has changed his robe, the cloth wrapped around his arm can't see anything with just one sleeve of his sleeve, and he is not afraid of being looked at by Mrs. Liu. .
He walked over, sat beside Liu Shi, and said slowly: "I just went down the mountain to the pharmacy to see what was going on at the shop, but it was raining and it was difficult to go out, so it was delayed."
This statement is half true and half false, and I can't find any mistakes.
Liu Shi didn't really want to ask anything. For her, the matter of taking care of the back house would be fine. Her own Erlang was a man of ideas, he had his own calculations in his heart, and his head was the smartest among the three brothers. Shi never bothered much about him.
Reaching out and gently holding Qi Yun's hand, Mrs Liu smiled and said, "It's okay, you shouldn't go out and run around when it rains, you are still empty, this rainy day is the coldest, you should hide in your shop to hide from the rain. It's alright, it's just that Jiao Niang is worried when she is tired, she will go out to find you, and you should appease her later."
When Qi Yun heard the words, his face moved, his eyebrows softened, and he replied softly, "I see, mother."
Not only did he go to find himself in the rain, but he also helped him save a life to come back. Qi Yun thought, he is actually very lucky in this life. Although his body is ruined, he has parents who hurt him and his brothers to help him. When he was old and married the best and best girl, his life was not in vain.
Liu Shi clapped his hand again, and didn't let him stay, and let him go back after only a few words.
After Qi Yun left, Mrs. Liu lost her smile and asked softly, "Mother Liu, are you thinking Erlang has something to hide from me?"
Madam Liu hesitated for a moment, and then replied in a low voice, "Second Young Master... the most filial one. If there is really something to hide, he is probably afraid of his wife's worries."
Mrs Liu nodded, did not deny this, and turned the Buddha beads on her hand: "My three sons are all filial, sensible and polite, and they usually don't hide anything from me. It's just that Erlang doesn't say it, and I'm willing to pretend not to. I know, but we still have to prepare.”
She could see clearly that the clothes on Qi Yun's body were changed, and the iron ones were also changed.
Although Ye Jiao was still looking at the satin skirt that morning, the cloak she was wearing outside disappeared.
Even if Liu Shi couldn't guess what happened, she knew that the two of them would not only be delayed by the heavy rain, but there would always be other incidents.
Madam Liu whispered, "Madam, if you're worried, just call Tiezi in and ask."
Liu Shi shook his head: "No, if you ask him, Erlang will always know. Since he wants to hide it from me, I have to pretend not to know, otherwise he will be worried."
Holding the bead string in her hand and standing up, Mrs. Liu thought about it and asked Mrs. Liu to come over.
She instructed softly: "Let people go down the mountain, tell the family, keep an eye on the door, and guard the door. If any guests come, they will all refuse, and then go and tell Dalang and them, don't rush back, it's raining recently, on the Zhuangzi Just stay alive."
Madam Liu responded and turned around to go out.
When I walked out the door, I saw Xiao Su and Tie Zi sitting together, not knowing what they were muttering.
Seeing Madam Liu going out, they stood up and said, "Mother Liu."
Mrs. Liu nodded and asked with a smile on her face, "Why are you sitting outside? It's getting cold, don't always sit on the stone stool and be careful with stomach upsets."
The two answered honestly, and Mrs. Liu left.
When she was far away, Xiao Su grabbed Tie Zi and went to tug at his sleeve. Looking at a bruise from the back of her hand to her elbow, she burst into tears: "Why is it hurt so badly?"
Tie Zi has been protecting her since he was a child, and he was always most afraid of her crying, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'm much lighter than the young master, don't worry, it will be fine in a few days."
Xiao Su pursed her lips and held back tears, nodded, and then she remembered: "Young master is also hurt? Where is the second young grandma, is the second young grandma okay?"
With that said, the little girl was about to get up and run inside, as if she was going to go in to see if her second young grandmother was injured, her face was very anxious.
Tie Zi hurriedly pulled her and let her sit down.
At this moment, the young master and the young grandmother are talking, and the second young master will not be happy when she enters.
"It's alright, didn't Li Langzhong come along? They are all fine now, just remember to tell the second young grandma when the bath water is brought in later, that the second young master's wound should not touch water, just be careful." With a smile on Tie Zi's face, he reached out and rubbed Xiao Su's head.
As for how he was injured, he didn't say, and if he talked about it, it would only scare Xiao Su, and there was no use in anything else.
At this time, a woman came over and said to Xiao Su with a smiling face, "This is the sweet soup that Madam asked me to bring to you. Drink it while it's hot to get rid of the cold."
Xiao Su held it in her hands and thanked her. When the old lady left, she wondered, "Ma'am gave me sweet soup... What are you doing?"
Tie Zi's heart is clear, this is what Liu Shi rewarded her.
When Ye Jiao left, Xiao Su was afraid that she didn't know what danger lay ahead, but she got Ye Jiao's words and told her to keep her mouth shut and not say more, just take good care of the young master.
And Xiao Su really didn't say a word, and kept the matter until they came back and didn't reveal the slightest bit to Liu Shi.
She did this because she didn't know what Ye Jiao was going to do, she just obeyed the master's instructions.
What Liu Shi rewarded was her loyalty.
On the contrary, if Liu shi easily pried Xiao Su's mouth open just now, she would probably be sent back, driven out of the house, and never used again.
Tie Zi reached out and touched Xiao Su's head, then smiled at her and said, "Don't ask more, just eat whatever you give it, I smell very good, you can eat it if you don't eat it." spoon in her hand.
Who knows, Xiao Su shoved the spoon directly into his hand: "You went out for a spin, I'm afraid it's cold, I'll eat this for you, I'm fine." After that, Xiao Su didn't care about Tie Zi's expression, He stood up, patted his skirt, and went to see if the bath water had boiled.
Leaving Tie Zi to stare at the sweet red bean soup that night.
After a while, he laughed. The smart and smart boy who had always been in front of Qi Yun was now a little silly. He ate the sweet red bean soup in no time.
In the house, Ye Jiao had already finished breastfeeding, tidied up her clothes, and put Xu Bao on the bed to play with him.
Now Xu Bao can see a lot of things clearly. He always likes to laugh, and if he is a little teased, he will giggle non-stop. His arms and legs are very strong, and he is especially cute when moving around.
When Ye Jiao went out to have someone carry the tub to make a screen, Qi Yun naturally lowered her injured left arm and couldn't move it, stretched out her right hand, and turned over Xu Bao, who was lying on her stomach.
Xu Bao seemed to prefer lying on his stomach rather than lying down, and was particularly unhappy when he was pulled over by his own father.
But he didn't make a fuss, just wiggled his limbs, looking for a way to turn back.
Qi Yun just sat and watched, not helping, just reaching out to pat his stomach from time to time.
His son looks like a little turtle that can't be turned over.
When he heard the footsteps of Ye Jiao's thick-soled embroidered shoes, Qi Yun quickly supported the little guy behind his back, and he turned back smoothly.
Xu Bao laughed again, lying on the bed happily, looking at Qi Yun with his head raised, his eyes were like black grapes, especially bright.
When Ye Jiao walked over to look at it, what she saw was such a lively and harmonious father-son play scene.
With a smile on her face, she went to sit next to Qi Yun, but watched Xu Bao grab his meat claws to Qi Yun's left arm, and hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't make trouble with your father, he has a wound on his arm, It hurts when I touch it, Xu Bao is obedient."
Hearing this, Qi Yun couldn't help but smile.
Ye Jiao blinked and looked at him: "Xiang Gong, what are you laughing at?"
"Jiao Niang, you always talk in two words now, it sounds interesting." Qi Yun said, then turned to his side, blocked his left arm, and then stretched out his right hand and pinched Xu Bao's little boy. Fat hands.
Xu Bao hugged his hand with a smile, he should have understood nothing, but he never stretched his paw on Qi Yun's left arm.
But Ye Jiao didn't feel any difference in what she said. Probably when she was taking care of Xu Bao, Mrs. Liu always ate and slept one by one. She always followed along with Ye Jiao unconsciously, but she didn't I feel something is wrong.
Then he looked at Qi Yun with some doubts: "Where is it interesting?"
Qi Yun looked at her and said with a smile, "Like if I called you, Jiaojiao..."
As soon as this title came out, Qi Yun felt that it was a little too sweet, and some couldn't go on.
But before he could speak again, he saw that Ye Jiao's cheeks were slightly red.
This is actually a rare thing, usually her own wife is the most cheerful, but everything is up to her heart, what she thinks and what to do, even when the two of them are studying books together, Ye Jiao can try one by one without changing her face, and she has never been shy , that heart is like glass, extraordinarily transparent.
But now Ye Jiao blushed and glared at him with her eyes: "Xiang Gong, don't shout like this, it's like calling a child."
Qi Yun bent the corners of his mouth and stopped teasing her, but kept the title in his heart.
There will always be a time to speak.
Ye Jiao lowered her head, patted Xu Bao's little butt, and looked at Qi Yun: "The tub in the outer room is ready."
Qi Yun didn't get up immediately, but said to Ye Jiao, "Why don't you wash it first, Jiao Niang, you are too tired today."
Ye Jiao blinked: "No, you have an injury. Be careful not to touch the water. I'll wash it for you first."
Hearing this, Qi Yun got up immediately, went to the screen neatly, took off his clothes and went into the tub.
Ye Jiao fiddled with the screen again, seeing that it could be blocked tightly, so she called Xiao Su to come in to help take care of Xu Bao, then tied her arms, took the towel, and went around behind the screen.
This was not the first time Ye Jiao saw Qi Yun taking a bath. The last time was not long after they got married. Ye Jiao saw it by accident. At that time, Qi Yun was so frightened that she turned red.
Now Ye Jiao's mentality is similar to that of the past, but Qi Yun has improved a lot, and there are no secrets between the left and right sides. Let's see...
It's not that I haven't seen it.
Only when Ye Jiao wiped his back with a towel, Qi Yun's ears still turned red.
Ye Jiao took a bath bean and squeezed it open, put it on the hand towel and melted it, carefully avoiding his arm, and asked while making a circle on the man's back: "I forgot to ask you just now, the third son called You go, isn't it about the big brother?"
"Well, talking about it, he said that the eldest brother is in good health and will come back soon, but someone will come back with him. I don't know who it is. The third son didn't say it. I think I will find out when the time comes."
These words made Ye Jiao feel more at ease, she slid some water on him, and pinched her soft fingertips on his arm, her voice soft: "Brother is safe, it's good to be safe now, I can still catch up with the Chinese New Year when I come back now, Xu Bao. That's right, big brother has prepared so many things for Xu Bao, but Xu Bao hasn't seen him yet."
Qi Yun smiled but said nothing.
The incident on the third son is obviously not small, and it involves the royal family's inner court, so he, an ordinary citizen, will naturally not rush to inquire.
Now that his family has not reached the point where honor and disgrace are tied to the third son, Qi Yun has not thought about going to find him recently.
After all, Ye Pingrong has been with the third son for a long time, and it is better to discuss with him how to go in the future.
At this time, Ye Jiao heard two chirps.
She couldn't help sticking her head out of the screen, and saw Xiao Su was holding Xu Bao, the little girl's face was a little helpless, and Xu Bao was smiling at the map she drew on the bed, very proud.
When Xiao Su saw Ye Jiao coming over, she shook Xu Bao, and sure enough, she saw that her little trousers were wet.
Ye Jiao asked, "It's so wet, so change your clothes."
Xiao Su immediately went to get a new one, wiped the young master with a soft dry cloth, and prepared to change him into small pants again.
But Ye Jiao said this from behind Qi Yun. Qi Yun didn't know what Ye Jiao was looking at. He just leaned on the tub and leaned on the tub. He couldn't turn around because of his arm injury, so he could only turn his head. He saw Ye Jiao's clothes were wet.
Naturally, she thought that what Ye Jiao said just now was her own.
This was also inevitable. Ye Jiao was afraid that Qi Yun would be cold, so she added hot water into the tub several times, which would inevitably spill out.
Qi Erlang said solemnly: "It's not a problem if it gets wet, but it's cold now. If it's freezing, it's not good. It just happens that the tub here is big, so just come in and wash."
Xiaosu is puzzled, there is a charcoal basin in the house, where is it cool
Qi Yun thought that Ye Jiao would always hesitate for a while, but who would have known that her darling mother would agree: "It will do."
This made Qi Yun move subconsciously, as if he wanted to move her place.
But Ye Jiao put the towel aside, turned around and walked out of the screen.
Just when Qi Yun was surprised, he saw a little white dumpling that was naked and put into the bathtub.
Rou Dudu's body lay directly in his arms, Qi Yun hurriedly hugged him tightly, Ye Jiao's smiling voice was in his ear: "Xiang Gong, you let him sit on your lap and hold him a little."
After that, Qi Yun stared at the son who was lying in his arms.
Xu Bao looked at him with a smile, and a bubble came out of his mouth.
Qi Yun accepted the unexpected change after being stunned for a while, coughed lightly, hugged him tightly, and washed his son with Ye Jiao.
Just thinking in my heart, I still have to go down the mountain early.
At least when I go home, I can let someone carry Xu Bao to the wing to sleep, but on the mountain, there is only such a room, and there is nowhere to carry him...
However, Qi Yun, who was thinking about it, didn't go back immediately. Whether it was for the injury or for the red leaves in the mountains, he would not be too hasty.
After staying on the mountain for three more days, they accompanied Liu Shi to see the beauty of the red leaves, and the group took a carriage to Qi's house.
