Chapter 169: Who is the child's mother?
I didn't expect this child to be so small, but he ate so much, he could eat all the dishes on the table, but the little guy was obviously so full that his belly was about to burst.
The lord felt very satisfied when he saw Chen'er eat so many things, and when he fed Chen'er, he suddenly had the feeling of a father feeding his son. He is in his thirties, but he has no sons and half daughters under his knees, and he can't even stand the head and the queen mother. Not to mention the Queen Mother, she has been urging him for a few years, asking him to give birth to a great-grandson to hug the mourning family as soon as possible.
In fact, Lord Yan never liked children, but the person he loved the most disappeared, and the others were just going to settle, but he didn't want to settle, not the woman he really liked was not qualified to conceive his child, he had only ninety-nine in his heart, but he had been looking for her for five years, and there was no news, and the lord couldn't help but feel lost in his heart, she might have really returned to her hometown.
Back then, he was disrespectful to Jiujiu, verbally insulting and attacking, making Jiujiu promise never to see each other, which made him heartbroken during those days.
"Uncle, Chen'er is so full, uncle, the food here is really delicious, I have never eaten such delicious dishes when I am so old."
The lord came back to his senses and said to Chen'er with a smile: "I'm full, is it your mother who made it delicious, or is it your uncle's food here that is delicious." The lord teased the little guy and said.
This question really stumped Chen'er, and he didn't want to say that the food here was better than his mother's cooking, but he had to admit that the food here was indeed delicious. So Chen'er thought for a while and said, "I've never eaten the food here, so I think it's delicious, but if it's my mother's cooking, it's even better." ”
"Hahaha." The lord smiled, this little guy is quite good at talking. But he didn't know that these high-quality dishes were only made by the imperial chef in the palace, and the ordinary peasant women had never even seen them, let alone make them.
Chen'er finished eating and began to think about his mother again, as well as Uncle Hang. In order to distract Chen'er's attention, the lord suddenly conjured a wave drum, nine consecutive rings, empty bamboos and other gadgets.
"Look, my uncle asked someone to find something interesting for you, it's a puppet, you just press it here, it can walk and dance, and this, it can transform at will, and it can transform like this, you can try it."
Chen'er's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly in a childish voice: "Wow, it's fun, it's great, give it to me, I want to play." "Chen'er hasn't played with any toys since she was a child.,When she saw these strange things, she immediately became interested.,Playing alone.。
——
Manqing returned to the mountain, she was thinking about what to do, if she came forward to claim Chen'er, no matter how good her disguise was, wouldn't she be recognized by the lord, and she couldn't let the lord know about Chen'er's existence, in other words, she had always felt that Chen'er looked so similar to him, was it really his son? It can't be so coincidental, who kind of seed will I be pregnant with when I lost my memory at that time, if it is really Cheng Xuansheng's, I can't be known by him, I can't lose Chen'er, and then, she thought of a way to ask Aunt Zhang to get Chen'er back for her, so she went to ask Aunt Li.
"Aunt Li, I have a favor that I want you to help me with, my son is at Lord Yan, can you help me claim it."
"Chen'er, why don't you get it yourself?"
"I, my former husband once offended this lord, he has seen me before, I am afraid that he will recognize me, so I have to beg you to do me this favor." Manqing casually made up a reason.
"I see, your husband won't be killed just because he offended him, you seem to have mentioned before that your family died unexpectedly."
"That's not it, it's just that I'm still afraid of being recognized by him, so you can help me."
"Okay, I'll try it, but you see it's dark this day, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and the official office is closed, so it shouldn't be a problem to get it tomorrow."
"Then, okay, presumably Chen'er should be able to hold on for one night, so that's it." Just let them be very likely to spend the same night for the sake of father and son.
——
Chen'er is full of food, tired of playing, and is sleeping in the arms of the lord, and he also sleeps at this time at night, and he has been muttering to his mother before going to bed.
The lord looked at Chen'er who was sleeping sweetly, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and today he felt very familiar at the first sight of Chen'er, and now take a closer look at the child's facial features Since he looks very much like him, no wonder he always feels that the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it is, it turns out that he looks like him, but this is a strange thing, there are children who look like him in the world, maybe it's a coincidence. The lord gently picked up Chen'er and put him on the bed, for fear of waking up the little guy. The lord covered him with a quilt and prepared to leave. But as soon as he put him on the bed, he really woke up, Chen'er recognized the bed very well, he hadn't slept anywhere else when he was so big, he opened his hazy eyes, and shouted "mother" in his mouth, Chen'er slept unclear, so he thought the figure in front of him was his mother.
The lord was wondering, wasn't he already sleeping very deeply just now, and how could he wake up as soon as he put him in bed. So the lord comforted: "Chen'er, your mother will come to pick you up tomorrow, you can see your mother as soon as you wake up, go to sleep." ”
The lord also felt strange, how could the son of a mother have been missing for most of the day and have not come to look for him, he has already ordered to go down, if someone comes to claim the child, he will come to report, but no one has come to report for a day. How did his mother be.
Chen'er felt that this uncle and his mother had the same sense of security, and they both stroked him to sleep in front of the bed, which gave Chen'er a sense of warmth and security, so she fell asleep again. The lord thought that Chen'er was really asleep, so he wanted to leave, and just went out of the door. At this time, Chen'er woke up again, and when he saw that his uncle was not around, he began to cry.
The lord heard the cry and hurriedly returned, didn't this little guy obviously make him unable to go. The lord returned to the bed and picked up Chen'er: "Chen'er, what's wrong, what are you crying about if you don't sleep well." The lord asked distressedly. Uncle, I'm afraid of the dark, Chen'er doesn't dare to sleep alone, is it good for uncle to sleep with Chen'er, my mother also sleeps with Chen'er every night. ”
"Oh, it turns out that Chen'er is such a timid person, as a manly husband, why are you still afraid of this and that, you are a man, you can't cry at every turn, you know, didn't your mother teach you, you have to be strong to be a man."
"However, I'm still afraid, I can't sleep without my mother to sleep with me, so uncle, you can sleep with me." Chen'er said coquettishly.
"Okay then, Uncle will sleep with you." Then he climbed into bed, wrapped his arms around Chen'er, and hugged Chen'er, this feeling made the lord feel very warm, and he really wanted to hold Chen'er like this and not let go, just like a father loves his son. Chen'er slept soundly in the arms of the lord.
It wasn't until the next day that the lord got up and alarmed him, and Chen'er woke up. The lord didn't expect this little guy to wake up so easily, and he originally wanted not to wake him up and let him sleep more.
A few maids came in, some holding basins and towels to freshen up the lord, and some were preparing a sumptuous breakfast on the table, and the maids came in and were surprised to see that the lord was so close to a child. After the lord helped him clean his face, he also wiped his little face for Chen'er, and then took Chen'er and his little hand to the table to sit down for breakfast, Chen'er saw these breakfasts and his eyes lit up, and before the lord shouted, he started first, he couldn't put down these beautiful snacks, the shape of these snacks has the shape of various small animals, and those porridges are also delicious. While they were eating, a man came in and said, "Enlighten the lord, there is a woman who has come to claim the child, and it may be the child's mother. ”
Before the guard could finish speaking, the lord motioned for him to retreat first. Chen'er was so happy to hear that his mother came to pick him up and jumped out before breakfast was finished, at this time the lord felt a kind of reluctance, although he had only been with the little guy for one night, but there was an indescribable feeling, as if he was a relative. The lord only thought that Chen'er had been missing for a long time yesterday, and he didn't come to pick it up when his mother came to pick it up, but today his mother came to pick it up and felt that it was coming so soon, and he wanted to get along with Chen'er for a while. Then he also went out with Chen'er to see what kind of person his mother was.
Chen'er went out to the door of the yamen, his eyes glanced around, and he didn't see his mother's shadow, only Aunt Li, Chen'er recognized Aunt Li, Aunt Li also watched him grow up, Chen'er was about to go up and ask Aunt Li where his mother was. At this time, the lord also came out, and he asked Aunt Li in the hall, "You are Chen'er's mother?" Aunt Li was asked by the lord like this, and she was so frightened that she couldn't say anything: "Yes, no." When the lord saw her like this, he replied in a mess, so he asked again: "Yes, or no." ”
"I, I'm Dai Chen'er's mother to pick up Chen'er."
"That means, you're not Chen'er's mother? Then why didn't Chen'er's mother come to pick you up in person and let you come. ”
Aunt Li was so squeaky that she couldn't speak, Aunt Li hadn't seen any big officials since she was old, and now it was the lord who asked her, and Manqing also said that she couldn't let the lord know Manqing's identity, so she was a little flustered, so she was so frightened that she didn't know how to answer: "I, I don't know." ”
The lord frowned, feeling very suspicious, so he said sternly: "I think you want to pretend to be the child's mother and abduct the child, if you don't recruit you from the truth, you will be put in prison and wait for the fate." ”
Aunt Li was anxious when she heard this: "Lord, it was really Chen'er's mother who called me, and I didn't pretend to admit it." ”
The lord continued to ask: "Why did the child's mother go, her son was lost all night, and she still wants you to claim it, how can there be such a careless mother in this world, or are you pretending to confess, what are your intentions, and you are really recruited." ”
Aunt Li was so frightened by the momentum of Yan Cheng's lord Sheng Shiling that she told the truth: "It was Chen'er's mother who said that her previous husband had offended you, so she asked me to pick it up, I didn't have any intentions, it was really the child's mother who asked me to come." In order to get out of trouble for herself, Aunt Li accidentally told Manqing about it.
After hearing this, the lord was even more strange, Chen'er's mother's previous husband offended him? Why doesn't he have any impression at all, who is Chen'er's mother?
