Walking to the entrance of a slum and looking at the winding path inside, He Yu stopped and said to the chief of the guard behind him, "You find someone to follow the child in, and be sure to bring out the person who has given the king all beards and tails." ”

The child heard it in front, turned around and looked at the couple with puzzled eyes, and ran back to pull Xiao Yao's clothes, aren't you leaving?

Xiao Yao stretched out her fingers and didn't feel dirty, stroked the boy's face a few times, half-squatted down, and said softly, "They follow you to find out your brother and go to my house to find a doctor for your brother's treatment, okay?" ”

Disappointment and distrust crossed the boy's face, and Xiao Yao saw this and continued, "You see, the clothes I am wearing are really not suitable for entering, and the shoes I wear are also good. If I follow you in and get injured, then this uncle won't heal your brother, it's not worth it, isn't it? ”

Listening to his daughter-in-law splashing his dirty water without any scruples, He Yu was also drunk, but now looking at the child's slightly frightened eyes looking at him, He Yu could only touch his nose, forget it, his daughter-in-law, don't care.

Anyway, in the end, under Xiao Yao's persuasion, the child hesitated and let the head of the guard take the two people into the narrow alley.

Xiao Yao and He Yu stood on the side of the road and waited.

"Daughter-in-law, do you plan to raise these two children?" He Yu asked.

"I don't want to think about this now," Xiao Yao smiled, "People and children don't trust us, let's find a doctor for his brother to treat first." Later, more on that later. ”

"Actually......" He Yu paused and said, "This kid is quite flexible, except for not being able to speak, everything else is good." ”

"Really? What do you want to take him for? Xiao Yao turned to look at He Yu, "Do you want to accept him as a shadow guard?" ”

"It's hard to say," He Yu shook his head, "I told you, let's see it later." ”

"Yes."

After about a quarter of an hour, the child and the guards came out, one of the guards was holding a child in his hand, Xiao Yao walked forward quickly, but unexpectedly found that the child in the guard's arms was really unexpectedly clean.

It's completely different from the brother in front of him who looks like a mud monkey, no wonder people say that these two children don't look alike, one is clean, the other is dirty like this, where can you recognize whether they look like this?

The younger brother's face flushed, and after a few seconds, he let out a difficult breathing sound, and the whole person was already burning and delirious.

No, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it's going to turn into pneumonia! Xiao Yao secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly said to He Yu, "Take it back to the post house first, let people hurry up and ask for a doctor, if you continue to burn like this, something will definitely happen!" ”

"Okay." He Yu immediately ordered someone to ask for a doctor, and then asked the guards to take the child back to the post house immediately.

The eldest child looked at Xiao Yaoyan and anxious, and there was a lot of worry in his eyes, but he didn't rush up to say anything. Just quietly watching this qiē, quietly beside it without making any sound.

Xiao Yao didn't care if the child's hands were clean, so she pulled the child and ran towards the post house.

The child followed Xiao Yao's side and walked briskly. Fortunately, this place is not far from the post house, and he came back in less than two quarters of an hour, Yunyue also arranged the child in the ear room of the courtyard, Xiao Yao pulled the eldest child in, and the doctor had already diagnosed and treated.

When the older child saw the doctor, his eyes flashed with hope and joy.

The doctor checked the pulse, stood up, didn't want to turn around, but saw Xiao Yao standing behind, stunned, and immediately leaned down, "Grass people meet ......"

"Doctor, please get up quickly," Xiao Yao hurriedly stepped forward to help the doctor up, "Doctor, how is this child?" ”

"It should be a fever due to the wind cold, coupled with a long-term irregular diet, and the body is weak." The doctor glanced at the child, "The grass people prescribe a few pills here, and the fever should go away after drinking it, but the body is weak and can only be slowly adjusted, and it is not good for such a young child to fall ill in the future." ”

Xiao Yao listened to the doctor's words, then breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down and touched the head of the boy next to him, and said with a smile, "It's okay, your brother will be fine." ”

Are you sure? The child grabbed Xiao Yao's skirt, and the look in his eyes made Xiao Yao feel that it was really mixed in his heart, Xiao Yao nodded affirmatively, "It's okay, it will be fine in two days." ”

The child was stunned, and after a while, he seemed to have completely digested the meaning of Xiao Yao's words, and opened his mouth to reveal a smile, as if the sun had passed through the frozen earth, cheerful and bright.

Many years later, Xiao Yao recalled that it was really a smile that shocked her, although the child's face was dirty and her hair was greasy, but at that moment, she seemed to have found a smile like rebirth, which overshadowed the surrounding qiē.

Now that he heard the news that his brother was fine, the boy also relaxed, leaning on the edge of the bed and falling asleep unconsciously.

Xiao Yao woke him up and said with a smile, "Go take a good bath, and then I'll find you a place to rest." ”

The current boy has 100% trust in Xiao Yao, nodded obediently, stood up and was about to go out, when he suddenly heard a voice exclaiming from behind, "Ah! Master, what's your dress? So dark? ”

Several people looked at Xiao Yao's skirt together, the boy's whole person became cramped and embarrassed, the two black pieces on the skirt were the child's handprints, Xiao Yao looked at his hands again, and his hands were dirty. However, Xiao Yao saw that the boy was cramped and uneasy, and he shrank his hand and stood next to him, and said with a smile indifferently, "It's just dust, just wash it, don't care." ”

Then he said to the boy, "All right, go and take a bath, and when you wash it, there will be no more of this." ”

The boy nodded obediently and went to take a bath under the guidance of the little boy in the yard. Xiao Yao here also changed clothes and bathed under the service of Yunzhu and Yunyue.

Xiao Yao took a bath, and when she returned to the main house, He Yu was reading a book on the couch when she heard the movement, raised her head and saw that it was Xiao Yao, and waved at her with a smile. Xiao Yao also walked over with a smile, He Yu took a big cloth towel for Xiao Yao to wipe his long hair little by little until it was not dripping, and leaned over to sniff Xiao Yao's hair, "Add roses and jasmine?" ”

"You have a sensitive nose! Dog's nose! Xiao Yao scolded with a smile and slapped He Yu's chest.

He Yu chuckled, "The dog's nose for my husband is for my wife." ”

“…… Slippery. ”

"Yes."

The two of them messed around with each other for a few words, and He Yu said, "Those little ruffians really still have a background." ”

"Huh? Are you sure? Xiao Yao turned her head and looked at He Yu.

"Well," He Yu nodded, "the leader is a distant relative of the Jinling prefect, who has never done anything good. The prefect's surname is Yu, what do you think can be associated with? ”

“…… The eldest princess? Xiao Yao asked tentatively.

"That's right, this prefect is a side branch of the eldest princess Yu's family, and he has achieved the position of the prefect by relying on a little relationship, and the leader is the distant relatives of this prefect who don't know how many layers of relationships, tsk." He Yu shook his head.

Xiao Yao also sighed, "This family relationship is complicated enough. ”

"This is the big family, big, but it's not thriving." He Yu touched his chin and said with bad intentions.

"However, the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, that's the reason."

"Yes."

"And what are you going to do?" Xiao Yao asked.

"How to do it......" He Yu pondered, revealing a sly smile, "Isn't the eldest prince in the capital now in charge of the country?" I have to find something to do for him, otherwise it will be so boring to be so peaceful. ”

I thought that Xiao Yao would say that he was too bad, but he didn't smile and Xiao Yao also smiled, "Also, that's too unchallenging, how boring!"

The couple looked at each other for a moment, then laughed and fell on the couch.

"Master." Yun Yue shouted crisply outside.

"Washed?" Xiao Yao turned his head and saw a clean child standing shyly not far away, his skin was a little wheat-colored, it was estimated that it was the result of running outside all year round, his hair was also dried up, loosely tied up and hung down behind his head, his body was very thin, but perhaps because he often had to run, he looked much stronger than his younger brother.

Yun Yue pushed the child forward with a smile and said jokingly, "It's been cleaned, and several buckets of water have been changed!" ”

When these words came out, a look of shame and anxiety appeared on the child's face, and he looked at Xiao Yao and He Yu cautiously, for fear that the two of them would be angry. Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Okay, it's still a pretty young man after washing!" Are you hungry or not, do you want to eat? ”

The boy looked at He Yu and saw that He Yu didn't say anything, so he nodded timidly. Xiao Yao said to Yun Yue, "Take whatever you see in the kitchen, at least let the children eat some first." ”

"I've already brought it," Yunyue asked the little maid to bring up the food, "When I took the child to take a bath just now, Sister Yunzhu instructed the kitchen to prepare something to eat, the child was small, and he was hungry, and the doctor told him to eat something before he could take medicine, otherwise it would hurt his stomach, so he prepared it." ”

The child's eyes lit up when he saw the food, and after getting Xiao Yao's permission, he pounced on the table, reached out and grabbed a pie and gnawed it, all choked and kept sending it to his mouth, Xiao Yao looked at the heat in his eyes, stroked the child's back, and said softly, "It's okay, and there are, don't worry, be careful of choking." ”

Look at these two children, and then look at your own children, they are also two brothers, and their fates are so different.

That's fate.

He Yu didn't say a word on the side, just hugged Xiao Yao's waist.

Finally, the child's eating slowed down, took a few pieces of snacks on the table, and looked at Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao understood what the child meant, and said with a smile, "It's okay, my brother can't eat these now, he has other food to prepare for him." ”

Hearing Xiao Yao say this, the child was relieved, and carefully put the food in his hand back, even putting it exactly the same as before.

Xiao Yao looked funny and sad, and touched the child's hair, "Okay, when you're full, you can go see your brother." ”

The child nodded vigorously, turned around and ran out, and soon disappeared by the door.

Xiao Yao sighed, with a heavy heart, and said, "Take it, do you have tea?" Make me a pot of tea. ”

"Yes." Yunzhu took the order and went down.

"Ah, by the way, I'm not going to the emperor!" This made a fuss all morning, and Xiao Yao remembered that there was still something to do.

He Yu was amused and touched her head, "When you think about it, then we can't eat technetium and go around, I have already sent someone to report to the emperor about this morning's incident, and I have taken leave, and I will go over tomorrow." ”

"Oh, okay." Xiao Yao relieved her heart, leaned on He Yu, and said sweetly, "My child and I have to thank you for giving us such a good life." ”

"What nonsense," He Yu straightened the broken hair on Xiao Yao's forehead, frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you thankful or not, we are a family!" ”

"Well, we're family!"

With the doctor's medicine, my brother's fever subsided the next day.

When Xiao Yao passed in the morning, the boy was sitting next to his younger brother, soaked a handkerchief in cold water and put it on his brother's forehead, Xiao Yao stepped forward and walked a few steps to his brother's bed, stretched out his hand to test it, took a long breath, and said to the boy, "Okay, don't cool down." Your brother's fever has subsided. ”

When the child heard this, his worried eyes finally relaxed, put the handkerchief in the water, cleaned up the wet ground and went out with the basin, Xiao Yao just watched from the side during the whole process, and did not help, nor did he call someone to come over to help.

After all, these two children are not born to stand at the top of this society, they were not born with a golden spoon, and their future is to be earned by themselves little by little, so Xiao Yao does not intend to spoil the two brothers like she spoils her own children.

She can give them food, give them shelter, and be good to them.

However, her good is that she treats all her servants as well, and she will not beat and scold at will. After all, this is the life of these two children.

It is the so-called easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

They have to spell out their own lives little by little, so that they will know what it means to cherish, what it means to be responsible and motivated.

For those who are accustomed to the bottom of society, if luxury comes too suddenly, they will only lose their way, and they may eventually go astray.

When I was in a trance, I suddenly heard a weak voice beside me, "Who are you?" ”

Xiao Yao suddenly turned around and saw that her younger brother lying on the bed was looking at her with a pair of eyes open, with calm and questions in his eyes. Xiao Yao said with a smile, "You're awake, this is my house, you're sick, come to my house to see the doctor." ”

"Oh," the child replied, "may I ask where my brother is?" ”

"Oh, he's ......" Xiao Yao didn't finish speaking, when he saw the sound of the basin falling to the ground, and then a small figure quickly rushed to the side of the bed, holding his brother's hand, tightly, with a slight trembling. R1152
