Chapter 173: You Are My Little Padded Jacket
About this night, Chen Pingping, who was in a wheelchair, said something to the emperor Majesty Xià who was sitting on the dragon chair, and it was still a mystery until many years later, because no one was qualified to listen, not even Gonggong Yao, who was not far from His Majesty.
This conversation was actually similar to the two conversations outside the imperial study within a year, the words came out of the king's lips, from the ears of the ministers, and did not pass on to the third person. However, in today's Kyoto, I have long known what has happened in the past few months, all of which have been secretly arranged by His Majesty and Dean Chen, and the two of them are just waiting for the enemy hidden in the dark to jump out, and then they will be captured in a net - Emperor Qing and Dean Chen have joined forces, which is really too powerful, and they can hide the entire Kyoto in the dark for half a month.
It was only at this time that people thought that many years ago, Dean Chen began to accompany His Majesty to carry out the great cause of dominating the world, the old man in a wheelchair saved His Majesty several times, and His Majesty also gave the other party the greatest trust and glory, the older generation of people never doubted Chen Pingping's loyalty to His Majesty, which is a fact that history has long proven, but it is now reflected again.
There is a lot of speculation in the minds of the people of Kyoto about this conversation.
That night, when Fan Xian left the palace and rushed to the palace, he didn't pay attention to the conversation in the imperial study, and he didn't think about whether this conversation would be related to him, because he guessed that His Majesty was just a little lonely, and Chen Pingping was going to play the role of a loyal subordinate and a temporary friend.
The facts are not far from his guess, because from a certain point of view, Fan Xian and his emperor Lao Tzu are really similar, if Emperor Qing is the best actor in the world, and he has hidden it from the world for 20 years, then Fan Xian is naturally the second best actor, hiding his thoughts in his heart and hiding it from Emperor Qing.
This is an unprecedented struggle of acting power, fighting is the heart, Fan Xian lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the quiet and restless Kyoto night street outside, and thought slightly, now that he has won the absolute trust of His Majesty, this battle is another victory for himself, but ...... Why do you need to fight, and how will you fight in the future?
The worry and anxiety on his face are not played, but really come from the depths of his heart, especially the extremely complex joy and worry between his eyebrows and eyes, which completely expresses his mood at this time.
Passing by the wheelchair, Fan Xian bowed his head and saluted, and saw the gentleness and congratulations in Chen Pingping's old eyes, and he immediately understood that Sisi was indeed picked up by the dean, since he had returned to Beijing, Sisi had naturally returned to the mansion, but he didn't know whether he was born or not, whether it was a man or a woman.
As soon as he thought of this, where was he still in the mood to think about the conversation in the imperial study, his whole heart had already returned to Fan's mansion, urging his subordinates to whip the horses pulling the carts. It's just that too many people have died in these few rì, so even if he knows that he may have become a father, Fan Xian is only lightly satisfied, but he doesn't have too much ecstasy, Wan'er injured the death of her biological mother in the center of the mansion at this time, and she really doesn't know how to deal with it after returning home.
The carriage did not stop at the main gate of Fan's Mansion, but went directly through the side alley and stopped at the corner gate specially reserved for the back garden. Before the carriage stopped, Fan Xian had already jumped out of the car, glanced at the daughter-in-law of the vine family who welcomed him at the door with a smile, and then walked to his house, only took a few steps, and the smile was gone.
It's not that he is deliberately pretentious, but it is really in Kyoto, where the bloody rain and bloody wind are parting now, and the arrival of a new life really can't wash away the bloody smell of so much death.
Walking through the flower hall to the east wing, it was not surprising to find that the light was still slightly on, and the father and the Liu family were waiting for him in the room, and the faint light shone on Fan Shangshu's face, shining his wrinkles and the joy in the wrinkles. Fan Shangshu was looking at a baby in Liu's arms at this time, although he barely maintained the appearance of Master Zhuang Su, he couldn't hide the pleasure in his eyes.
Fan Xian entered the door and saluted his father and the Liu family first, but without looking at the baby in Liu's arms, he directly turned his eyes to the bedside, and saw Wan'er sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Sisi's hand and whispering something.
Wan'er's eyes were red and swollen, like pink peaches, she looked pitiful, her face had lost a lot of weight, and she was haggard, but she forced a smile and gossiped with Sisi who was lying on the bed. Fan Xian was slightly stunned, then walked over, didn't care about the two elders in the room, sat directly beside Wan'er, looked at Sisi who was leaning on the pillow with a smile on his face, looked at the big girl back then, and said, "I'm a mother, why don't you sleep so late?"
Although Sisi was a little frightened during the month of labor, she was protected by the Supervision Institute and was taken by Chen Lao Pozi to travel in the four fields of Kyoto, and she never suffered from the cold, but the exercise was more than that of ordinary mothers, so it seems that the god of jīng is better than that of ordinary mothers. In addition, this girl has grown up with Fan Xian since she was a child, and she has also been nurtured with a bit of free and easy, her heart is broad, and she is not haggard because of the birth of the fetus in her arms, and her face has added a few plumpness, and she looks more and more like a lovely young woman.
"Young master, I sleep during the day, where can I sleep. Sisi is still used to calling him a young master, her eyebrows and eyes are full of joy and the pride of being a first-time mother, but she is forced to restrain herself in her words, although she is sparse, she is not a heartless fool, knowing that too many things have happened in Beijing, Shao nǎinǎi is sad in her heart, how can she not want to express herself too much at this moment.
Just looked at the young master after entering the house and didn't look at the baby in Liu's arms, he came to the bedside, and Sisi's heart also began to ponder, could it be that he gave birth to a daughter, so that the young master was not happy?
Even though Fan Xian has a seven-trick exquisite heart, he still doesn't know much about the careful thoughts of the women in the backyard of the house, looking at this girl's expression, thinking that she was unaccompanied during childbirth and sad, he smiled and was ready to say a few words of relief.
He didn't understand, but Lin Wan'er wouldn't not understand, and the Liu family wouldn't not understand. Seeing Liu Shi walking towards the bed with the child in her arms, Wan'er smiled slightly, glanced at Fan Xian, and said softly, "Look at the little girl." ”
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, looked back and looked at Liu Shi looking at himself with a slightly reproachful expression, only then did he understand where the problem was, smiled bitterly, took the baby from Liu's arms, carefully held it in his hand, looked closely, and found the baby in swaddling clothes...... This little baby girl is really not good-looking, not to mention her own appearance, it is much worse than Sisi's big eyes and affection, looking at it, he can't help laughing, feeling that he is really a little confused - the newborn baby is naturally not good-looking, as long as it is healthy.
The three women of the Liu family were frightened when they saw him take the baby with their hands and feet, they didn't react, and looked at him nervously, for fear that he would not hold the nǎi child, and the Liu family was even more ready to reach out and grab it back, but they didn't expect Fan Xian's left elbow to bend slightly, support his neck with his arm, and pat it with his right hand.
Looking at this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Fan Shangshu, they all looked at Fan Xian with surprised eyes, and Wan'er, who had been depressed for a long time, couldn't help but smile secretly. Fan Xian only cared about his daughter at this time, where could he care about the eyes of others, and he didn't expect that in this world, men who are willing to hold children, especially from big families like them, are very rare, and he is so familiar with him, like an old mother, which is even more eye-popping to everyone.
Fan Xian hugged the child and said gently to Sisi: "The recent instability has also made you suffer...... But you know me, I don't look at the children when I enter the house, it's not that I don't like my daughter, it's just that in my eyes, children are always less important than adults, and your safety is the most important thing. ”
After receiving the secret reproach from the Liu family and Wan'er, Fan Xian naturally knew why Sisi's previous gloom came about, and explained two sentences with a smile, but he didn't think that these words fell on Wan'er and Sisi's hearts, and they had different feelings.
Sisi felt a burst of sweetness in her heart, and then thought that when she was a child, the young master also muttered vigorously, giving birth to a child is the most bitter mother, and giving birth to boys and girls are the same. Although she was sweet in her heart, she didn't dare to show too much in front of Wan'er, because she knew that Shao Nǎinǎi had always been extremely lenient to herself, and she had been bent on having a child in the past two years, but she had been ...... Thinking like this, Sisi missed Fan Xian's last two sentences, and Xiaoyi glanced at Shao Nǎinǎi who lowered his head and smiled gently, and somehow felt sad in his heart, and felt sad for Shao Nǎinǎi.
The thoughts of the women in this room are complicated, Fan Xian is holding his daughter and looking at it carefully, the more he looks at it, the more he looks at it, the more he looks at it, the more he is happy, when he entered the house before, he only cares about Sisi's body and Wan'er's love, and he doesn't take this daughter seriously, until this time he holds it, feeling the softness and tenderness of this little body through the cloth, looking at the wrinkles on his daughter's forehead, watching his daughter purse her lips from time to time, and the tip of her heart is getting softer and softer.
The biggest difference between men and women is here, women only gave birth to children in October, and they have already cultivated a relationship for ten months, coupled with the pains and pains of hard work in the meantime, they are naturally born with a strong and indescribable warmth for children. And men's feelings need to be watched, held, and experienced, so that they will become stronger and stronger.
Especially the world's first-class busy people like Fan Xian, Sisi was basically not around when she was pregnant, and she naturally didn't have too strong feelings for this child. Just hugging and hugging, this feeling came, Fan Xian hugged more and more carefully, looked at the little girl in his arms in a daze, and thought, is this his daughter......? These little eyes, which are tightly closed, will grow bigger and bigger, and the longer they will become, the more beautiful they will be.
After the tip of his heart became soft, it gradually became sweet and sour, for some reason, Fan Xian felt that his nose was a little blocked, but this kind of love was too complicated, even he himself didn't know what words to use to describe it, he only knew one thing that his two lives, which were full of disasters and difficulties, but were extremely lucky, were finally extended in this world.
At this moment, he thought to himself, even if he died on the spot now, he would always have something left in this world. Unlike looking at the rows of books at Yoonsun's house in Kyoto Prefecture, this feeling is stronger, more vivid, and more touching.
After hugging for a while, Wan'er, who was watching from the side, took the child over under the guidance of Liu and Fan Xian's demonstration, and hugged her in her arms distressedly.
According to the rules of this world, this is also her child, and this distress is real. Fan Xian smiled and looked at the pity and curiosity in his wife's eyes, and then he realized that his wife was not very old, and under his own care, she was actually not much different from a girl. However, seeing Wan'er holding the child, it seemed that the grief in his heart was slightly gone, and he felt much better.
At this time, the night was already deep, and everyone was a little tired, but it was just the first life of the third generation of Fan Mansion, which made everyone a little excited, even Fan Shangshu did not shy away from staying in this room, watching this scene happily, and refused to rest.
In the end, it was Liu Shi who laughed a few words, let the old grandmother and nǎi mother who had been waiting outside the box come in, held the child and stood aside, and urged everyone to rest early.
When Fan Shangshu left, he suddenly thought of something, and was about to call Fan Xian to the study to ask about the situation in the palace today, and immediately thought that this child had been exhausted these days, and finally had a happy event, so why bother, so he didn't speak.
On the contrary, when the two elders left, Fan Xian happily asked: "Father, when I was in Jiangnan, please choose a name, I don't know what name to give this girl." ”
He was happy to ask, but Fan Shangshu glanced at the Liu family, his eyes were a little complicated, and then he said calmly: "Daughter's family, don't be in a hurry to choose a name, just take a nickname first." ”
"Fan Xiaohua. Fan Xian smiled and said, "The nickname has already been thought about." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Wan'er and Sisi were a little dissatisfied, thinking about how they had such a vulgar name for someone like herself, but Sisi didn't dare to speak in front of everyone, but Wan'er noticed the expression of the family man, and was stunned, and didn't say anything.
Fan Xian and Wan'er glanced at each other, and then remembered something, and their faces were a little unpleasant. After Fan Shangshu and the Liu family went out, he couldn't help but shake his head, sighed, looked at the daughter in the arms of the old lady on the side, and said, "Could it be that this little girl's name has to wait for the palace to give it?"
When Sisi heard this, he was startled, and thought to himself what kind of statement this was? Immediately, he thought of the young master's other identity, so he quickly pursed his lips, not daring to express any opinion.
Lin Wan'er looked at him and said softly: "I heard the master say, your words back then ...... It was also taken from the palace. I don't see more than the name, at the latest, Your Majesty will let you carry the child into the palace, giving the name is a thing, and the palace is afraid that a group of old grandmothers and rǔ Niang will be sent to let you choose. ”
Fan Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a sneer: "Those old groceries in the palace...... Come on, just keep it alone. ”
Now he naturally has this confidence in speaking, and even the Queen Mother dares to slap people, let alone those old fish eyeballs. It's just that as soon as these words came out, her own grandmother, who was holding the baby girl in the east wing, became scared, and the nǎi mother behind her lowered her head even more, and she didn't dare to make a sound.
Fan Xian glanced at them and said gently: "Ping rì takes care of the young lady, it always has to work hard for you, but nǎi mom doesn't need it, Ming rì less nǎinǎi will go and talk to Madame." ”
Lin Wan'er looked at him in wonder, thinking to herself what Xianggong was doing? Why did you drive Nǎi's mother out? I saw Fan Xian sitting back on the edge of the bed, and asked Sisi with a smile, "Is there nǎi?"
Sisi was slightly embarrassed and nodded. Fan Xian smiled and said, "Then it's over, the child has to be raised by himself, what is the matter if you want nǎi mom nǎi child." ”
Fan Xian thought to himself, where do you people know the importance of mother's feeding, so how much does the cow have to sell for in the world? The doctor said that the psychological impact of mother's personal feeding on babies is ...... He knew that these things would come out, and that no one in this world could understand them, so he did not consult with the two women, so he decided very arbitrarily.
The nǎi mother on the side lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything, secretly slandering what happened to the nǎi mother? Your old Fan family can make a fortune, and it is not because the ancestor of Lanzhou has a few royal children. The old lady of her own house heard something else, and looked at the young master dumbfounded, thinking to herself, Could it be that the young master is going to let the aunt nǎinǎi personally raise the young lady?
Fan Xian didn't know what this old woman was thinking, and he didn't care much, he had worked hard in this world for 20 years, and if he even had to talk about how to raise his daughter, he would have lived in vain.
Sitting next to Sisi and saying a few words, I found that this girl was sleepy, she opened her eyes and spoke, a little unbearable, Fan Xian smiled and said: "Hurry up and sleep, in previous years, when you were in Shanzhou, you were lazier than me." ”
Looking at Si Si Yù's appearance of stopping at his words, Fan Xian smiled and said: "I have been in Kyoto for a few years, I really confused you, I said when I was a child, giving birth to boys and girls is the same, although it is not a national policy, but it is also a family rule." ”
............ When she returned to the master bedroom, the rough girl who had already rubbed her sleepy eyes called hot water, ready to serve the two masters and go to sleep, Fan Xian waved his hand and drove them out, helped Wan'er to sit on the edge of the bed, looked at her eyes seriously, and said: "I know the rules in the mansion, the children born by my aunt have to live with the big house." ”
Lin Wan'er had tears in her eyes and turned twice, but they didn't flow down, she didn't know how much she had been hit in the past few days, how much sadness she had in her heart, but there was nowhere to pour out, now Sisi went home, although she remembered that the baby girl was Fan Xian's flesh and blood, her heart was also happy, and she was faintly grateful to Sisi, but after all, her heart was extremely complicated.
Especially Fan Xian faintly revealed the meaning of not letting herself participate, several feelings were mixed, which made Wan'er can't stop sad, she was noble, her life experience is bizarre, xìng is like ice and snow, and there is a hidden intelligence in the joy, but after all, she is a woman, but all women, there is always a woman's delicate thoughts.
Fan Xian looked at her quietly, knowing that the death of the eldest princess, the death of the second prince, and the bloodshed of the royal family had already embarrassed his wife, and said in as soft a tone as possible: "I just don't want those nǎi mothers to defile our children...... This child is always ours, but Sisi is her biological mother after all, so she can't just hug her. ”
Lin Wan'er sighed, looked at the face of the husband in front of her knee, and said softly: "You don't have to be so careless in front of me, I know you are worried about me." She smiled a little reluctantly, "But sometimes it's a bit delicious, like what you and Sisi sometimes say, I don't understand much, what national policies and family rules come from." ”
Fan Xian smiled helplessly, after all, Sisi is a person who grew up with him, just like his sister who grew up with letters, naturally there is something to share in that life, he held his wife's hands and said softly: "In the future...... I'll tell you everything, only we know, others want to know...... Hey, don't tell him. ”
After a pause, he clasped his wife's hands and said with a smile: "I will tell you all about carriages, sedan chairs, cars and cannons." ”
Lin Wan'er was confused when she heard this, thinking that the carriage sedan chair knew, and what was the car cannon? But she also knew that he was coaxing herself, so she forcibly covered the sadness on her face, lowered her head slightly, and said, "I'm ...... If you want to have a child, look at what happens to my brothers now, I don't know what will happen after rì, I have a child, so I have a lot of hopes. ”
These words were indifferent, but Fan Xian's heart became sour, especially looking at Wan'er's slightly thin cheeks at this time, which was much less than two years ago. He knew his wife's thoughts, and the development of the medicine should be about the same, he had eight points of confidence in his heart, and said with a smile: "Of course the child is to be born, let's give Xiaohua'er another brother, and this family will be lively." ”
Wan'er only thought he was coaxing herself, smiled, and didn't say anything, but Fan Xian looked at him with a thief's eyes, and said: "But giving birth to a child, it seems that there are many steps to do, speaking of which, we haven't been intimate for more than half a year." ”
Lin Wan'er smacked him with a smile, and immediately thought that Xianggong was deliberately amusing herself, and thinking of his benefits and carefulness, she added a little sadness. Fan Xian was just joking, so many people died in the palace, how could the couple be in the mood to do this, he stood up, brought the basin with slightly warmed water, put it in front of the bed, and directly took off Wan'er's shoes and socks, but it scared her.
"Wash your feet, these days in and out of the palace, you must have suffered a lot. Fan Xian lowered his head, put his wife's bare feet into the basin, picked up the hot water, and gently kneaded it.
Lin Wan'er looked at his hair, felt the warmth on her feet, her nose was sore, and she cried silently. Fan Xian lowered his head, he didn't look up and knew that she was crying, he knew his wife's sorrow, but he couldn't find any words to comfort the other party, he could only wash her feet silently, and he couldn't help but feel countless sourness in his heart.
The sound of the water gradually subsided, and after countless days of fatigue, Fan Xian, who was extremely tired, held Lin Wan'er's bare feet with both hands, leaned on her knees, and fell asleep like this, sleeping peacefully, like a child. Lin Wan'er gently stroked his face with pity, the tears in the corners of her eyes gradually dried, and she said softly: "I won't be bitter with you." ”
