The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 395
The Dragon Boat Festival is the most important festival in Daqi, worshiping gods and ancestors, praying for blessings and warding off evil spirits.

The nobles of Daqi will gather on the Qu River in Xicheng to watch dragon boats and set off river lanterns on the Dragon Boat Festival to pray for blessings.

On this day, Xu Wanning and Pingyang came to Qingfengyuan, and the three sisters-in-law sat on the porch basking in the sun, sipping fragrant tea, and discussing things about celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival this year.

The three sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law were very interested in chatting. Li Ling came back riding a horse with his two children, and the three of them returned to Qingfengyuan sweating profusely.

As the saying goes, there are no fathers and no dogs. Brother Xuan and Sister Bao learned to ride horses in less than a few months under Li Ling's teaching. Now the two little guys are at their most addicted.The children were still young, and Li Ling was worried that others would take the children to ride horses, so whenever he had time, he personally took care of the two children to go to the school field to practice equestrianism.

As soon as Brother Xuan and Sister Bao entered the yard, they rushed towards Jing Shu. Jing Shu poured two cups of tea with the children, and the two children drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Wanning took out her handkerchief to wipe off Sister Bao's sweat, and complained, "Tell me about your little girl, you've made it so embarrassing."

Sister Bao said nonchalantly, "I just like riding horses."

As she said that, she looked at her mother, pouted and said, "It's just that the pony that Dad chose for me runs too slowly. I don't like it. I want a fast horse, but Dad doesn't agree."

Li Ling came over, patted Sister Bao's head, and said with a smile, "You just learned how to ride a horse, and you are still young, so you can only ride a pony, otherwise you will fall."

Unconvinced, Sister Bao said, "Why can that elder brother ride that fast bay red horse? Hmph! Daddy is biased."

Faced with his daughter's pettiness, Li Ling had his own way to deal with it. He looked at his daughter and replied, "If Sister Bao can get up and practice martial arts every day like my brother, Daddy will give you a horse like my brother's." fast horse."

Sister Xiaobao has always loved lazy beds, and every time Li Ling taught brother Xuan how to practice martial arts, Li Ling coaxed her to get up after returning home.

Getting her to wake up early was simply too difficult.

Sure enough, after hearing what Daddy said, Sister Bao lost her temper and just muttered to herself: "I'm still young, how can I get up so early."

Li Ling lowered his eyes to look at his daughter's petite appearance, suppressed a smile and said, "Go let the wet nurse help you cleanse your face and change your clothes, and then Daddy will take you to the back garden to catch butterflies."

When Sister Bao heard this, she immediately jumped up again, followed the nurse to change her clothes, and then followed Li Ling away.

Xu Wanning glanced at the back of Li Ling leaving with Sister Bao, and said with a smile, "It's really unexpected that the second brother has been so patient since he had a child."

Comparing Li Ling's love for his daughter, and thinking of Li Xiang's indifference to his two daughters, Pingyang was even more envious. I would rather endure hardship than give him a few more children."

As soon as Pingyang finished speaking, Yuzhu from Xianglin Garden found her and said to Pingyang, "Ma'am, Sister Wan woke up from her afternoon nap, and she insisted on looking for you after crying."

Hearing the words, Pingyang stood up with his swollen belly, and couldn't help complaining: "This child is so old, he can't leave me."

Saying that, she said goodbye to Jing Shu and Xu Wanning, supported her swollen belly, and rushed back to Xianglin Garden.

Sister Wan has been getting up since she was a child. When she came back from Pingyang, she saw her little daughter crying and sweating profusely. She hugged the child in her arms with distress.

Sister Wan gradually stopped crying under the gentle comfort of her mother, and Pingyang washed her face and changed her clothes herself, and the little one was taken out to play by the wet nurse.

Pingyang came out from Baoxia where her daughter lived and went back to the room. Seeing that Li Xiang, who was at home with Muxiu, was leaning on the couch and concentrating on reading a medical book, she couldn't help complaining: "You said you don't know how to coax the child at home, Let sister Wan cry like that, you are not very competent as a father."

Seeing his wife complaining, Li Xiang put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes and said: "The children always kiss you, even if I coax you, I can't coax you well."

Ping Yang sat down on the soft chair, looked at Li Xiang and retorted: "Children like to be close to their parents in the same way, but you don't coax them to play on weekdays, that's why they are unfamiliar with you, look at the second brother Being so busy, I play with the children whenever I have time, and the two children are willing to be close to their father."

"Brother Xuan is only four years old, and the second brother has already taught him martial arts in person, and sister Xiaobao is also taught by the second brother to be able to ride a horse by himself."

After hearing what his wife said, Li Xiang replied with a smile: "Do you also want me to teach the children how to ride horses? Our two daughters are very timid, and I'm afraid they will cry when they see a horse."

After hearing this, Ping Yang put down the teacup in her hand, frowned slightly, and said, "I don't really want you to teach the children horse riding and martial arts, but I just want you to spend more time with them and get closer to them."

Just as she was talking, the wet nurse brought Sister Qing and Sister Wan into the house, and Sister Wan held a small grasshopper in her hand, and ran over excitedly to hold it in front of Pingyang, and said with a smile: "Mother, look, Sister Lantian caught a little grasshopper for me."

Pingyang was discussing with Li Xiang about the child, she smiled at Sister Wan, touched her daughter's head and said: "Mother has already seen Sister Wan's grasshopper, Sister Wan took it to Daddy Just have a look."

Sister Wan was only two years old, after hearing Pingyang's words, she turned her head to look at her father who was sitting on the side, then turned her head again, frowned and asked Pingyang, "Why do you want Daddy to watch, and Daddy won't like it. "

Pingyang replied patiently: "How could Daddy not like it? Daddy also likes Sister Wan's little grasshopper."

Sister Wan replied with a dull face: "Daddy doesn't like being pestered by Sister Wan, and he doesn't like little grasshoppers."

Hearing what the youngest daughter said, Li Xiang waved at her and said, "Daddy likes Sister Wan. Sister Wan is coming to Daddy. Let Daddy give her a hug, okay?"

Seeing this, Sister Wan quickly threw herself into Pingyang's arms, and said with a bluffing face: "Mother hug me, mother hug me quickly."

Seeing that the youngest daughter refused to look for her, Li Xiang turned to the eldest daughter and said, "Sister Qing, how about letting Daddy hug her?"

Sister Qing stared at Li Xiang for a while, then walked to Pingyang's side like her younger sister, and muttered to Pingyang: "Mother, Daddy is so strange today."

Ping Yang hugged the youngest daughter, hugged the eldest daughter, said angrily to Li Xiang: "Look at it, it's because you don't know how to coax children, now the children don't want to get close to you."

Li Xiang smiled lightly, and replied nonchalantly: "They are still young, and when they grow up, they will naturally know what Daddy is doing."
