Yao shi looked down at the son in his arms and guided him to speak: "Xiaobao is not lazy, what about Xiaobao?"
Gu Xiaobao opened his fingers and patted his little chest: "Xiaobao is smart."
The whole room was amused by him.
Gu Jiao looked at Gu Xiaobao curiously: "You already know how to talk. When I leave, Xiaobao will only cry."
Yao Shi smiled: "One year and eight months."
He walks late, only willing to stand at a year and two months old, and only let himself go completely last month.
But he did speak early, calling his first mother in eleven months. She remembered that Yan'er and Jinyu didn't speak until they were one year old.
I don't know Jiaojiao she...
Thinking that her daughter grew up in the countryside, and she knew nothing about her growth, Yao felt guilty and uncomfortable.
Xiao Jingkong drooped his little head reluctantly: "Master, you let me down, my head was dizzy because of you."
"When did the teacher shake you?" He dragged him away without moving, okay
Xiao Jingkong spread his hands and sighed: "Oh, Master, you are so handsome, of course I am dazzled by your beauty!"
Dust: "… "
Everyone: "… "
Yao Shi knew that Xuanyuanqi and his son were going to recognize Jingkong, so she stood up holding Gu Xiaobao and said to them, "I'll go to the kitchen and have a look."
After saying that, she winked at Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan.
"Let's go too." Gu Yan understood and dragged Gu Xiaoshun, who was still worshipping the Grand Marshal, to the backyard.
"Yuanyang, you come here too." Yao Shi called Yuanyang.
"Yes, ma'am."
Yuanyang put down the cut melons and fruits and followed Yao Shi out of the main room.
The noisy house suddenly quieted down.
Before coming, Xuanyuan Qi discussed with Gu Jiao and Liao Chen about recognizing Xiao Jingkong.
Between hiding from him and telling him, the three unanimously chose the latter.
Qingkong is not an ordinary child. He is precocious, intelligent, and intelligent, but at the same time, he also has a very sensitive heart.
From birth to the age of three, he was abandoned more than once.
Gu Jiao remembered talking to him when he first saw him, that he had packed up his small burdens and was about to go down the mountain to be adopted, but the family repented and didn't want him anymore.
Gu Jiao recalled the little figure sitting alone on the stone bench, and she could still feel the loneliness of Xiao Qingkong.
He even thought that his parents didn't want him because they didn't like him.
After being adopted by Gu Jiao and returning home, he inadvertently showed caution, worried that he would become a burden to Gu Jiao, and worried that he would be sent back...
At his age, he has endured things that he should not bear.
He needs to understand that he has parents who love him very much, and that he is a child born under the expectations of his parents.
He was not thrown away.
Liaochen put the apprentice down.
Gu Jiao took his hand and asked him to look at Xuanyuan Qi opposite, and said softly, "King Kong, that's your uncle and grandfather."
"Grandpa?" Xiao Jingkong's eyes widened in surprise, obviously not quite understanding the meaning of this title.
Gu Jiao paused and said, "It's your father's uncle."
Xiao Jingkong stared with wide eyes: "I have a father?"
Gu Jiao touched his little head: "Yes, you have a father and mother who love you very much."
Xiao Jingkong looked up into Gu Jiao's eyes: "Then why don't they want me?"
Gu Jiao looked at him sincerely, took off a small petal on his head, and said softly, "What they want from you is that they went to a far, far place and can't take you with them."
Xiao Jingkong tilted his head and thought for a while: "It's like Jiaojiao going to war, can't you take me with you?"
Xuanyuan Qi looked at Gu Jiao nervously.
It was originally planned to pass a layer of window paper to the end, but at this stage, everyone felt cruel.
He was only six years old.
He shouldn't have grown up with the pain of his parents' passing.
Gu Jiao paused for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Well, that's about it."
"Oh." Xiao Jingkong nodded thoughtfully.
Xuanyuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why don't you lie to him?"
"Is it useful to lie to him? Failure is failure. White lies are the most boring thing in the world."
She has really changed a lot.
With compassion, you can feel the emotions of others and change your principles for this.
Xiao Jingkong is a very smart child. He has an amazing talent for learning, but some things are beyond his cognition, and he cannot question it.
"Then will they still come to see me?" he asked Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao said softly, "They can't come. They asked my uncle to visit you. Are you... will you be disappointed?"
"It's a little bit." Xiao Jingkong scratched his head and said honestly, "However, for the sake of them not wanting me, I will reluctantly forgive them!"
Gu Jiao curved the corners of her lips.
Xuanyuanqi and Liaochen both looked relieved.
Let him live with hope.
Xiao Jingkong came to Xuanyuanqi, looked at him with big eyes blinking, and said expectantly, "Grandpa, when I grow up, will you take me to see my parents?"
Xuanyuan Qi raised his calloused hand and carefully placed it on top of his head. His throat was sore and his arms were trembling slightly.
He smiled and said, "Okay."
"Uncle-grandfather, my name is Jingkong." Xiao Jingkong introduced himself seriously.
Xuanyuanqi looked at him, as if he saw Xiaoliu when he was a child, his eyes turned red involuntarily: "How old are you?"
Xiao Jingkong raised her small chest: "I'm nine years old!"
The dust looked at him speechlessly.
Xiao Jingkong: "Okay, I'm three years old."
When Xiaoliu was young, he was weak, and he always liked to go up in age... Xuanyuan Qi looked at Qingkong, resisting the pain in his throat, and said with a smile: "Kingkong is your name, you have a name."
"Huh?" Xiao Jingkong tilted his head to look at him.
Xuanyuan Qi finally dropped the hand on top of his head, stroked the top of his hair lightly, and hugged him into his large arms: "...Your name is Xuanyuan Xi."
At this time, Xuanyuan Qi did not know that this quiet and sensible name would make the Seven Kingdoms tremble after many years!
…
On the other hand, Mr. Yao went to the kitchen and ordered the cook to cook some more good dishes to entertain the guests.
Gu Xiaobao was carried away by Gu Yan.
She went back to her room.
While packing up, there was a knock on the door.
"The door is open, come in," she said.
Gu Jiao came in.
Yao shi looked at her and was slightly taken aback: "Jiaojiao?"
Gu Jiao put her hands behind her back, hesitated for a moment, and walked to her side: "That..."
She hesitated.
Yao shi glanced at her, lowered her eyes, smiled, and said, "Are you going to leave after dinner?"
She continued to fold her clothes, and the lights were dim, making it difficult to see whose clothes she was folding.
She calmed down, held back the bitterness in her heart, and said, "It doesn't matter, mother knows."
"I don't think you might know."
"what?"
"I didn't go to the palace because I wanted to take them to see Jingkong." Gu Jiao pursed her lips, "I, want to see you."
Yao Shi was shocked and looked at her daughter in disbelief.
Gu Jiao raised a hand and pointed to her heart: "Here, think."
Yao Shi's eyes were red.
She always felt that her daughter was very different from herself. It was not that her daughter was not good enough to herself, but that there seemed to be an invisible estrangement between them.
She tried to get close to her daughter.
She could feel her daughter's kindness towards her.
But she could never get into her daughter's heart.
My daughter has never called her mother.
Just now, when she was introducing herself to Marshal Xuanyuan, her daughter got stuck. She knew that her daughter couldn't call her mother, but she didn't want to call her wife unfamiliarly in front of outsiders.
Yao Shi once comforted herself that her daughter did not depend on her because she had not raised her daughter for a day, and she could endure this loneliness silently.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't call her mother for the rest of her life.
But just now my daughter said that she misses her in her heart.
She could no longer suppress her inner feelings.
Tears rolled in her eyes: "Jiaojiao... Mother doesn't know what to do... I don't know how to make you call me mother..."
"mother."
Gu Jiao called her.
Yao shi looked at Gu Jiao in disbelief, her entire expression stunned.
"It's not that I don't like you." Gu Jiao said, "I have had a bad experience and can't call it out."
"What bad experience?" Yao shi's heart twitched, thinking of Gu Jinyu's biological parents.
"It's not Gu San and his wife." More, Gu Jiao was reluctant to go on.
"Okay, mother don't ask." Yao Shi choked with tears, "Then why is it okay now?"
Gu Jiao said, "I don't know, it's fine."
Those unforgettable pasts in past lives seem to be being healed by something.
Is it Jing Yinyin, is it Gu Jiao Niang, or is it the self who was not abandoned as a monster by anyone who cared about it after losing control of her bloodlust
She couldn't answer.
Human feelings are still too complicated for her to understand.
It's just what her intuition is, she does what she does.
I don't even know if I'm doing it right.
"Then, do you like me calling you that?" Gu Jiao sat on the stool, motionless, except for the movement of her eyes.
The terrifying young killer on the battlefield is now like a child waiting for the right answer.
Yao Shi snorted and laughed, walked over and hugged her daughter: "I like it, my mother likes it very much, can you call me mother again?"
Gu Jiao was hugged tightly by her, and her cheeks were pressed so hard.
She pursed her pouting mouth: "Mother."
It really is the most beautiful sound in the world.
Yao shi's heart melted, and all the pain was healed.
She smiled with tears in her eyes and hugged her daughter even tighter: "Hey! Call again!"
Gu Jiao, whose mouth was completely crushed, said, "...sheep."
Yao Shi: "..."
