"To mom, Xuan'er..."
"Mom, I still need some time here. Why don't you and Dad go back and rest first. Doesn't Dad have to attend the early court tomorrow?" Xiaocao interrupted Han's words lightly and urged them to go back.
"There are only major ceremonies every year, and there are minor ceremonies every now and then. Dad doesn't always go to the minor ceremonies, so it's not a problem."
Xiaocao didn't quite understand what the big court and small court were, but from what I heard, it didn't mean that one had to get up in the middle of the night to attend court every day.
Han also said that it was still early and there was no need to rush.
Xiaocao nodded and said no more. Then the room fell into silence. Xiaocao patiently and carefully massaged Madam Wenren. It took nearly an hour in total before Xiaocao finally stopped. During this process, Madam Wenren never woke up, and no one heard her groaning in pain in her sleep.
In this way, the people who served Madam Wenren would naturally become more convinced. They also kept in mind what Xiaocao had told them and would definitely have a good talk with the old lady tomorrow.
Xiaocao left with Wenren Taibo and Han. Han held Xiaocao's hand and kneaded it gently, "After such a long time, my son must be exhausted."
"Xuan'er has indeed worked hard tonight. - Has Xuan'er always been like this?" Wenren Taibo asked hesitantly.
Xiao Cao was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "No, there aren't any. There are only some old ladies occasionally. Usually there are more people during the consultation, so the massage can't be long."
As for the opposite sex, children usually don't need it. Even some small tricks such as preventing colds and aiding digestion are very simple. They can be taught by their parents and elders. As for the rest, even if they are old, men and women are very cautious, and they will not let them do it. They know that the world is harsh on women. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Xiaocao will not take the initiative to break this.
Originally, in the eyes of doctors, gender does not exist, and Xiaocao did not deliberately avoid it. Thinking carefully, over the years, I have really not encountered any particularly cross-border cases. At most, they would expose their chests and backs, perform some simple surgical operations, and more often, acupuncture. - Obviously, in Xiaocao's eyes, particularly cross-border probably means touching the private parts of the body.
Xiao Cao gently brushed this off, "Although it took a little longer tonight, it will be fine after a while. It's okay. Grandma can feel more relaxed and comfortable, and I'm sure Dad and Mom will be happy too."
Han hugged Xiaocao and loved her so much for a moment. This girl was so gentle, considerate and filial. She felt even more distressed about her past experiences. At the same time, she felt that she was really lucky and was extremely glad that she came back to her.
During this period, Wen Renxu and his wife Youshi took the child back to their own courtyard, and the mother and maid took the child away.
"Although Mom is not a very serious person, it is rare for her to be so happy as she is tonight."
"Fourth sister has been missing, and it has always been a worry for mother. If she could not be found, I would have been worried for the rest of her life. Now that she is back, I feel naturally refreshed, just like taking a magic medicine. I am naturally very happy." Wen Renxu smiled, "However, fourth sister is really unexpected. Judging from her words and actions, no one would object to saying that she is a lady from a famous family." There was some special meaning in his words.
"Husband, what do you mean..."
"I don't doubt the identity of the fourth sister, I just think that the fourth sister's past may be very interesting."
"If your mother sees you like this, she will definitely give you a good beating."
Wen Renxu smiled innocently, "Don't talk nonsense, I have no opinion on my fourth sister. Although she has only been home for more than ten years, in my heart, she is no different from other brothers and sisters. I will naturally not explore her past, after all, it is not my business. My fourth sister is back for the first time, I am afraid she will not be used to it, please take care of her."
"You don't even need to tell me that. I'm the eldest sister-in-law, and it's my duty to take care of my younger aunts and uncles."
Wen Renxu patted his mouth and said, "It was my husband who said the wrong thing."
Yu gave him a reproachful look.
On the other side, Wen Renying washed up, untied her hair, and leaned on the couch with a book in her hand. She looked very calm and her temperament was very different from before. There was no one to serve her. This was a habit she had formed a long time ago.
But at this moment, although he seemed to be reading, he was actually distracted.
"Fourth sister..." he murmured in a low voice.
Before she was reborn, her fourth sister had never appeared before. However, Wen Renying was not panicked by such a change. After all, it had been nearly a year since she came back after more than 20 years. She was extremely surprised at first, but later found that there were many differences and she was already panicked.
When she knew that there were those individuals who, although they caused trouble in Kaiping Imperial City and were known to the world, were not the insignificant people in people's memories, and the changes they caused were just minor details, while the overall development had not changed, Wen Renying felt relieved. She still knew the future and was wise.
The return of this fourth sister to the Wenren family was probably just an unexpected episode brought about by many variables. Although her appearance would divide her favor, Wen Renying was not a real little girl now, so she would not care about this.
What's more, her appearance can make my mother happy, there is nothing wrong with that. As for how to treat her, that will depend on the future. If she still likes me, I don't mind giving her wealth.
Wen Renying calmed herself down and finally focused on reading, leaning lazily, revealing a laziness that was completely inconsistent with her age.
The yard that Han prepared for Xiaocao was right next to the main yard where they lived. It was not big, but it was extremely exquisite. No one had lived there before, and it was only occasionally used to entertain guests and play. You should know that Wen Renying didn't live there at the beginning, and the others probably knew what Han was thinking. Fortunately, the Wenren family's house was big enough, so no one said anything.
Before, they had only received a possible piece of information, and it had not been confirmed yet, but Han decisively cleaned up the place.
Therefore, even if Han had not had such an idea before, it has now been completely confirmed.
Han unceremoniously pushed her husband aside and told him to either stay alone in the empty room or sleep with the concubine, as she wanted to sleep with her daughter.
There was some surprise in Xiaocao's eyes. She thought Wenren Taibo did not have a concubine. After all, she had not seen any trace of her from the time she entered the house until now, including the young woman serving Han, who were all dressed as girls. Could it be that she just didn't show up
Facing Xiaocao's eyes, Wenren Taibo clearly didn't reveal any emotions, but he felt awkward and coughed lightly, "I'll go to the study to rest."
"I asked the kitchen to stew some Sichuan Fritillary Bulbs and Snow Pear for you. Remember to eat some." Han was very satisfied with Wenren Taibo's "good sense".
Wenren Taibo nodded with a smile.
