Chapter 60: Brother's Infinite Warmth
Wu Ting couldn't get around it, so he simply wanted to explain some of the situation to Yan Le, "Don't be your cousin's screaming, she is older than you." ”
"That's my cousin, so after marrying you, do I have to change my name to sister-in-law?" Yan Le thought about it, the marriage between relatives is too strange, and they are all related by blood.
"Keep calling cousin! I don't like her! If you want to call your sister-in-law, I'll take you to your sister-in-law and let you call enough. Wu Ting roared angrily.
"It turns out that the eldest brother has married a wife, and sure enough, marrying a wife looks calm, brother, you can really have this." She likes such a brother so much, but she just can't help but want to make fun of him.
"Ruthless sister, can you bear to scribble on your brother's marriage spectrum?" He watched her smile happily, and gradually stopped caring about her deliberate teasing. However, when it came to his sister-in-law, he thought that the focus of this return was to see his little niece, and he was so overjoyed by his sister's return that he forgot about it directly.
"Lingxi, the eldest brother and sister-in-law gave birth to a little girl, how about I take you to see?" He asked her excitedly, believing that his sister would be more curious than he was.
Yan Le's reaction was as he thought, she stood up in surprise and pulled Wu Tingmo out the door, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
When the two arrived at their eldest brother's yard, the nurse had just put the little niece to sleep, Yan Le and Wu Tingmo could only lie on the side of the little niece's shaking bed and look at her cute sleeping face, Yan Le wanted to touch her tender baby skin, but her hand stopped in mid-air, she practiced all year round, and her fingers were covered with thin calluses, so touching her would inevitably make her uncomfortable.
Wu Tingmo looked at the hand she wanted to withdraw, grabbed her first, gently bent her palm, and let her touch the little niece's face with the back of her hand.
The smooth back of her hand touched the baby's skin, adding to the happiness of the day in Yan Le's heart, she smiled contentedly, and said softly, "Thank you, brother." "Thank you for the warmth he gave without reservation, and thank you for all the tolerance he gave to him.
Yan Le and Wu Tingmo didn't want to stay too much to affect their little niece's sleep, so they came out after they had enough curiosity.
Yan Le saw the nurse waiting on the side, and just wanted to say hello to her, seeing that she had already stepped forward, "I've seen the second young master, presumably this is the little lady." Seeing Yan Le nodded and added, "I've seen Miss Xiao." ”
Wu Tingmo's face was still Yangguan's smile, "Yellow Milk Niang, is the princess okay?" Say hello to my sister and me on her behalf. ”
"Huh? Brother, can't we go see my sister-in-law? Yan Le was puzzled that this was already in their courtyard, should he ask someone else to greet him.
The yellow milk lady smiled and said, "Little Miss, you don't know, the mother has to recuperate for a month, our ancient saying is called confinement, during which you don't go out and don't see guests." ”
Yan Le nodded with a smile and replied modestly: "Learned, Feng Nuniang." ”
Wu Tingmo teased her: "It seems that you pretend to be gentle, it's quite a thing." ”
Yan Le does not deny that she can be lively or indifferent, but it is impossible to be gentle, and those who know her will see that she is pretending, and her nature is not like this.
"I've pretended to be before, and I heard you say that, I should have been successful before."
The two talked and laughed all the way, teasing each other, and when they returned to Yusheng Juyanle, they were really tired. Wu Tingmo saw her tiredness and coaxed her to rest. Yan Le went back to the house and fell asleep, and when he woke up again, it was already dusk.
Adequate sleep allowed her body to recover a lot, and her senses also recovered a lot, only in bed she heard someone walking outside the house, it was a very ordinary footstep, according to her observation of the maids in the house during the day, this was the footsteps of ordinary maids.
She got out of bed, put on her embroidered shoes, and went to light the candlestick not far from her, and before the faint light of the candle could really brighten she heard the door push open.
Xia Yao led a little maid about fifteen or sixteen years old behind her, and entered the house, and the two of them saluted Yan Le in crisp voices, "I've seen the little sister." ”
"No need to be polite." Yan Le saw the two of them bending down humbly, and hurriedly put down the fire fold to help them.
Xia Yao accepted her kindness with a smile, and after Yan Le withdrew her hand, she took the little girl behind her out and introduced it to Yan Le: "Little Miss, this is Pan Xia in the house, she will wait for you in the future, and she will help you take care of things in the yard." ”
Yan Le looked at Pan Xia's round face, a pair of clever eyes looked at him attentively, felt that this girl was very pleasing, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I will trouble Pan Xia in the future." "Although there is no strong sense of strangeness between home and myself, after all, I have been away from home for more than ten years, and I have to have someone around me to help me come and go. Yan Le didn't know, she thought that something was wrong, and there were people around her who meant to her.
Xia Yao glanced sideways at Pan Xia, she understood, and went to light up all the candlesticks in the house by herself, Yan Le was good at observing, and deduced that this Pan Xia and Xia Yao must be partners on weekdays.
Xia Yao shouted softly outside the house, two little maids came in with toiletries and clothes, Xia Yao took the gold and copper basin in the hands of one person and put it on the specially placed sandalwood shelf, and said in a relaxed tone to Yan Le: "Little Miss, you clean your face, if you want, Xia Yao will dress up for you, Mrs. will hold a reunion dinner at night, and she is happily waiting for the little lady to go!" She handed the wet cloth towel to Yan Le.
Yan Le obediently washed his face, and after thinking about it, he realized, "My mother is already waiting any longer?" "Did I sleep too late? That "Mu... Does the Commander have a coming? What about the big brother? "I haven't seen Ling Yi for so long, I don't know if he is obedient and eats and drinks medicine on time.
Xia Yao only smiled slightly, she knew that what the little lady really cared about and wanted to ask was Commander Mu, Pan Xia was more lively, she curiously came to the two of them, and said with a foolish smile: "Little Miss, Pan Xia is a blessing to you, I actually saw such a good-looking man, Pan Xia used to think that the two sons in our house were handsome enough, but I didn't expect that there are still people in this world who are as good-looking as she paused." ”
"Is it just as good-looking?" Yan Le looked at Pan Xia's bulging face, couldn't help the temptation, and went to poke lightly, deliberately teasing her.
"Hey, hey, yes, it's just as good-looking, no equal."
"But I think my Ling Yi is the best-looking." Her eyes were slightly crooked, with a sly look.
"Yes, yes, little miss, Commander Mu's own temperament really makes people can't take their eyes off!" Pan Xia said, her eyes were already starting to glow. She recalled that when she was just in front of the main hall, Mu Lingyi's face was calm, but when everyone mentioned the little lady, the gentleness in his eyes and the charm of an affectionate man were infinite.
"Little Miss, don't worry, Commander Mu and the prince have returned to the house together, and they will attend the dinner together." Xia Yao knew that Pan Xia was abducted by Yan Le's words, "It's Pan Xia, you are thinking differently, you used to say in my ear every day how good-looking the second young master is, and how compatible he is with the beautiful princess, now ......."
Pan Xia, who reacted late, suddenly came to his senses, took Xia Yao's hand and said, "Okay Xia Yao, don't tell the second young master, otherwise the second young master will let me deal with the princess later." ”
Yan Le was happy that Mu Lingyi was in the house, and he could go to see him later, and he understood that the cousin was the cousin who annoyed him every day in his brother's mouth, and she also came tonight, but "My brother is stationed at the border, and my cousin is annoying him, and it is very rare." ”
Xia Yao looked outside the house, the sun had completely set, so she asked Yan Le to go to the dresser, "Little Miss, I'll dress up for you, let Pan Xia say it on the side." ”
Yan Le knew that his hair was soft and easy to be unkempt, so according to Xia Yao's wishes, he asked her to help him pull his hair. Listen to Pan Xia, a cute little girl, talking on the side.
Pan Xia is good at storytelling, she often fools the princess like this, she thinks back to the princess every time she accepts her fools, and she sighs unconsciously, the second young master really doesn't know a good woman. She pulled her thoughts back to the part that would interest her the most.
"Little Miss, you know, the second young master is the number one general of our Yunheng Kingdom, guarding our land, so he spends most of the year at the border, but the princess has not forgotten the second young master, she writes to the second young master every day, asks about life and safety, and often comes to our mansion to visit Mrs. Hou." She said for a long time without taking a breath.
Yan Lewei turned his head to look at her flushed face, and said funny: "The letters have been sent to the border, how do you know." ”
"Oh, little miss, the envoys who rushed to the border pass are also fixed those people, our house is a family member, of course the post envoy has to come every day to ask if you want to believe a little, the princess's letter is entrusted to our house to the post envoy." She is reasonable, active and clever.
"My cousin really has a heart, but it's very difficult to be emotional, if you really don't like it, I'm afraid that if you treat him well for a lifetime, he won't be tempted." Yan Le said helplessly, cousin, alas, another person who can't be loved.
After Xia Yao tied Yan Le's hair, she went to bring the clothes that the little maid had brought just now, took the hairpin that matched it, and helped Yan Le bring it.
Yan Le looked through the bronze mirror and pinned the hairpin that had been embedded with sapphire and a silver ring in the middle of her hair, let it swing flexibly in front of her forehead, and then pinned the two opposite crescent hairpins on both sides of the bun. Yan Le turned his head curiously, and said happily to Xia Yao: "Xia Yao, thank you, I like the decoration on my forehead so much." ”
Xia Yao helped Pan Xia take the dress well, and smiled at Yan Le and thanked her again, "It's good that the little lady likes it, you don't have to thank Xia Yao, come and help you change the Luo skirt." There are no women of your age in this house, so this dress was just made by the tailor in the house, but according to the craftsmanship of the tailor, it should fit. ”
After the three of them arrived at the screen, they helped Yan Le take off the pink Luo skirt and put on a light blue gauze skirt. The dreamy gauze should be fluffy, but it becomes slim and flowing under the tailor's careful cut.
Pan Xia and Xia Yao couldn't help but sigh that their little lady was simply a fairy.
"Little Miss, you are so good-looking!"
Yan Le did not deny it, she happily turned around in front of the two of them to check whether they were dressed properly.
According to Xia Yao's intentions, Yan Le only touched Yingying's lipstick, and did not apply a little powder on his face.
Yan Le put her hands on her waist dignifiedly, and Xia Yao and Pan Xia led her to the main hall. She thought excitedly in her heart, what Ling Yi would think of seeing herself dressed like this later, and whether he would like herself like this.
She lifted the hem of her skirt lightly, stepped into the threshold of the side door of the main hall, and listened to Xia Yao go to inform her father and mother that she had arrived.
She stood in the side door and heard Xia Yao say, "Miss is here~~~", before stepping into the main hall.
As soon as Yan Le came out of the door, she felt everyone's eyes on her, she was not flustered, all her relatives were present, she was the first to meet Ling Yi who was sitting on the right side of the main hall, he was looking at himself gently, the smile on Yan Le's face was not even deeper, he looked away slightly shyly, and winked playfully with Wu Tingmo, who had been doting on her.
