Chapter 289: Family Happiness
Father and mother have left, and Li You has changed from the role of a son to Lao Tzu.
He sat on the pineapple wood Taishi chair, surrounded by his wife and concubine and maid like the stars and the moon, and after nodding his head, he waved his hand and said: "Hold the child over first!" ”
The nurse behind Aunt Jin flashed out, holding the two-foot-long little girl, but Aunt Guan reached out to take her son from the nurse's hand, and proudly hugged her husband in person.
Li You took all the two children over, and hugged them left and right one by one.
The baby girl on the left is sitting on his lap, with round eyes, pink lotus-like little arms waving, and a muffled milky voice in her mouth, very cheerful. The baby boy on the right is one size younger than the girl, wrapped in swaddling clothes, his face is still tight, he is sleeping with his eyes closed, and a few traces of saliva looming at the corners of his mouth.
Looking left and right, left and right, Li You has a sense of fullness in his chest. As a traverser, everything in the world existed before he came, only these two little things, which were nothing before and are now there, truly created from nothing to belong to him, and are also the continuation of his two human bloodlines.
While teasing the children, Master Li talked homely with his wives and concubines. By the way, I introduced Mrs. Cheng and told Aunt Guan to pick up the room and arrange for Mrs. Cheng to live. Since then, Cheng Xiaoniang has officially entered the door of the Li family.
After a quarter of an hour or more, when a pair of children were handed over to the nurse again, she looked up and smiled at the ladies and said, "Every man goes back to his own room, and every man prepares his own bed!" ”
The wives and concubines were blushed by the master's remarks, turned around and dispersed. Liu Niangzi, the wife of the big house, and Mei Zhi, the maidservant, were about to leave, but they heard the husband shouting again: "Sister Bao! I'll go to you first, and I'll have something important to tell you. ”
Mei Zhi, a good servant girl who is loyal to the lord, became angry, snorted angrily, and angrily took her eyes to gouge out the conscienceless lord. Mrs. Liu's expression darkened, is the favorite of the husband really Aunt Jin?
Guan Xiuxiu also looked back at her husband in surprise. She didn't have any ideas, since she gave birth to the Li family's son, her thoughts of fighting for the wind and being jealous have faded a lot. At this time, I didn't have much hope, I knew in my heart that it must be the big house first, but I didn't expect my husband to go to Jinbaoer first.
Ah, in a hurry! Li You patted his forehead and said secretly.
Jin Bao'er took Xiaozhu's hand and said euphemistically: "I haven't seen you for a long time, the slave family wants to have a good talk with Xiaozhu, so the husband will go to Sister Liu first." ”
Li You and his wife returned to the main room in the backyard and comforted: "Don't be careful, your husband doesn't mean to snub you." Because he learned some clues about Aunt Jin's life experience, he was reckless for a while,"
I heard that there was this reason, and when I saw my husband's kind words and comfort, Mrs. Liu felt a little better.
She was not good at words, but in the face of her husband who she hadn't seen for half a year, she felt a little more unfamiliar, and she didn't know what to say for a while under her shyness.
The more I had nothing to say, the more anxious I became, and I had to say my greatest wish to my husband for a long time, "The concubine wants children." ”
As soon as Li You sat down, he heard this, and he sighed slightly, if he wants to have children, what do you have to do, as if his wife, who is silent and has never been enthusiastic about sexual affairs, took the initiative to seduce. He looked out the window and teased: "The lady wants to have a daytime Xuanyu?" Being a husband is not afraid of jokes, it doesn't matter..."
Mrs. Liu covered her face and rushed into the inner room shyly, like a frightened deer. Looking at her tall back, Li You couldn't help laughing, and shouted: "Don't worry, don't worry, the children's affairs are on the husband!" I'm still very good at it! ”
An hour later, coming out of the main room, Li You went to Aunt Jin's room again. lifted the curtain and entered the door, but saw Xiaozhu crying and wiping her tears, and Jin Baoer coaxed on the side.
What kind of play is this? Master Li was very inexplicable.
Jin Bao'er smiled lightly: "Xiaozhu has a thin face, the slave family only asked her, you have been with the master alone for so long, how can you still be a virgin?" She began to shed tears anxiously, and she had to blame you, master. ”
"Isn't this still young, don't worry." Li Youdao.
Aunt Jin patted Xiaozhu on the shoulder, "She's fifteen..."
It turned out that it was already fifteen, Li You was in a trance. This time flies so fast, it seems that two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the thirteen-year-old thin little girl who was bought for six taels of silver has gradually grown up.
"Xiaozhu boils water and pours tea! I'm definitely not going to let you go, sir, crying anything. Li You said to Jin Bao'er again: "This time I came back and passed through Yangzhou, and met a salt merchant, most likely your father. ”
When there was a loud sound, the cup in Jin Bao'er's hand fell on the table, and her voice trembled: "What the husband said is true? ”
Li You told the story of Jin Million and asked, "If you are indeed his daughter, do you want to recognize your relatives?" ”
"If the lord allows it, the slave family still wants to see it..."
Li You nodded and said, "This is human nature, let's talk about it when we get to Yangzhou." ”
Leaving Aunt Jin's place, Master Li went into Aunt Guan's room again.
At this time, Guan Xiuxiu was holding her son and talking to Cheng Xiaoniang, Li You leaned over and saw that his son had woken up and was grinning. The more I watched it, the more I liked it, and I couldn't help but stretch out my fingers and flick the round face of the child, but it made the little baby boy cry.
Aunt Guan pushed Master Li with one hand, and said angrily: "Don't scare him, husband!" Have time to come up with a good name. ”
Li You leaned lazily on the back of the chair and said, "I'm too tired, I'll think about the name after two days when my mind is relaxed." Also, my Li family doesn't have a generational word, so it's a shame for my husband to think of a sequence for my room. ”
He pointed to his son and said, "I started using it from him." ”
Guan Xiuxiu immediately had an idea and said: "Why don't you use the master's poems for generations?" ”
Li You was overjoyed and praised: "Good idea! It is worthy of being a virtuous helper. Wait for me to sift through and find a sentence with good words. ”
Aunt Guan handed over her son to the nurse, and Zhengse said to her husband: "When the husband goes to Yangzhou, do you still want to take office alone or take your family with you?" ”
"Go! The climate of Yangzhou is not much different, and it is not too far from the Xujiang River, so it is better to go to avoid the pain of separation between the two places! ”
Guan Xiuxiu asked: "I heard that the local business in Yangzhou is easy to do, and the concubine wants to do something in Yangzhou in secret." ”
Li You frowned slightly, "I have inquired, and there are dozens of regular money and bad rules that can be paid into the account. Even if you are more incorruptible, you can earn a thousand taels a year. That's enough to feed a family, what kind of business do you have? ”
Guan Xiuxiu pointed to the son who fell asleep in the nurse's arms again and said: "The husband's is the husband's, not necessarily his, and the concubine always wants to leave him a family business." As long as the husband does not object, there is no need to let the husband worry about the rest, and it will all be in the name of his son in the future. Please also rest assured that the concubine only intends to use my family, and will not personally come forward to bring disaster for her husband. ”
Seeing that Aunt Guan was thinking about her son, Li You was a little surprised, "When I came back this time, I feel that after I have a son, you are not as good as before, and you don't even ask about the cold and warmth when you enter the door." ”
"The concubine body doesn't point to her husband to write any round songs and become famous..."
