Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 173

The season of chilly spring.

Ye Xizhao came out of the hall, and a gust of cold wind hit her, causing her to shiver slightly, wrapped her cloak tightly, and hurried to Sister Xin's room.

Six-year-old Xin is sitting in front of the desk, practicing calligraphy.

Ye Xizhao asked distressedly: "It's so late, why don't you go to sleep?"

Sister Xin turned her head to look at the door, with a flowery smile, she immediately jumped off her seat and ran to Ye Xizhao, "Mother, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Because I miss you." Ye Xizhao patted Sister Xin's face, "I'm always worried that you are too tired."

"It's okay." Sister Xin shook Ye Xizhao's arm, "If I work harder, I can catch up with Big Brother sooner."

Ye Xizhao reassured: "You went to school a few months later than your elder brother, so you naturally lag behind him in homework."

Sister Xin's big eyes sparkled brightly, "I'm not trying to compare with elder brother, it's because it's very interesting for us to study together, and elder brother thinks so too."

Ye Xizhao smiled relievedly, "Don't work too hard, you have to practice martial arts in the morning, how can you bear it in the long run?"

"Well, I remember." Sister Xin promised, "I'll sleep after writing for a while."

While talking, Yu Shaoheng, who came back late, walked in the door.

Sister Xin jumped into his arms like a bird, "Daddy! Where have you been these two days? I haven't seen you yet."

"It's in the study, miss me?" Yu Shaoheng smiled and picked up his daughter, "How many times have I told you, why are you still disobedient?" He walked towards Sister Xin's bed, "Go to sleep!"

"No, I still need to practice calligraphy..."

"Shut up, there's no need to discuss it." Yu Shaoheng pressed Sister Xin and raised his hand to tickle.

Sister Xin couldn't help giggling, begging for mercy, "I'm obedient, can't I be obedient?"

Ye Xizhao watched from the side, and couldn't stop laughing.Father and daughter are always like this, the intimacy when they get together is staggering.

Yu Shaoheng ordered the servant girl to wait on Sister Xin to rest, then turned around, took Ye Xizhao's hand, and went back to the dormitory.

Ye Xizhao helped him change his clothes and said, "Isn't it very free these days? What have you been busy these two days?"

Yu Shaoheng lifted her face, "Want to know?"

"nonsense."

"Then why don't you go to see me?" Yu Shaoheng complained solemnly, "I'm just in the study, waiting for you to see me."

"It sounds pitiful." Ye Xizhao held back a smile and pinched his jaw.

Only then did Yu Shaoheng explain: "Xiao Xun has something to tell me, and he won't leave until this afternoon."

Ye Xizhao was surprised, "Didn't Qiao An have a second child? He's not at home with him, what can I tell you?"

Yu Shaoheng smiled and said, "Aside from government affairs, what I'm talking about is his second child. He said that if it's his daughter, our two families might as well get married in the future."

"Planning such a thing so early?" Ye Xizhao's head ached when he heard it, "He's no less than a marriage with his fingertips. I don't know what this person thinks. You agreed?"

"How could it be?" Yu Shaoheng gave her a reassuring answer, "Whether the children are destined or not, let nature take its course. In addition, he wants Brother Yu to practice literature and martial arts with Mr. Wei - Qiao An doesn't have time to teach it himself Brother Yu, I agree to this."

Ye Xizhao had no objection to the second matter, but was a little worried, "I'm afraid that Sister Xin will bully Brother Yu."

"how is this possible."

"How is it impossible?" Ye Xizhao poked him between the eyebrows, "When I went back to my mother's house a few days ago, your precious daughter pushed Brother Tao somersault, did you forget?"

"Didn't Brother Tao provoke Sister Xin first?"

Ye Xizhao was bitter, "Then you can't hit people. I warn you, you can't spoil Miss Xin so much in the future."

Yu Shaoheng smiled and said, "What about you? Didn't you spoil Brother Rui?"

"Brother Rui is only three years old. I was like this when Miss Xin was three years old." Ye Xizhao pinched the bridge of his nose, "Yu Shaoheng, why are you becoming more and more unreasonable?"

Yu Shaoheng raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "I'm being unreasonable?..."

His words were interrupted by Zhilan.

Zhi Lan said, "Ma'am, the young master refused to sleep, and was clamoring to come to you. The servants couldn't coax him, so they had to say that you should go and see him now."

"I'll go right away." Ye Xizhao replied without hesitation.

But Yu Shaoheng took her into his arms, and said in a low voice, "I'm also clamoring to find you, and I can't sleep without you."

Ye Xizhao couldn't help laughing, "Thank you for being so brave. You take a bath first, and I'll be back in a while."

Yu Shaoheng sighed and let go of her, "Go. If you sleep in your son's room again, don't blame me for taking care of you two."

"Okay, I'll remember." Ye Xizhao smiled and pushed him to take a bath, and then went to Ruige'er's room.

Ruige'er sat on the bed, clutching the skirt of his padded jacket with his small hands, saw Ye Xizhao, and stood up.

Only then did Ye Xizhao realize that the little thing's thin cotton trousers had been taken off, so he quickly stepped forward and stuffed him back under the quilt.

"I want to sleep with mother." Rui Ge'er put his arms around Ye Xizhao's neck, refusing to let go.

"I'll sleep with you." Ye Xizhao coaxed Brother Rui softly, "Take off the cotton jacket first, okay?"

Rui Ge'er pouted, then shook his head, "Go to mother's room, can you?"

Ye Xizhao wanted Brother Rui to get what he wanted, but Yu Shaoheng would definitely not agree, so he changed his method.She held Rui Ge'er's small hands, "Didn't I say that I would accompany you? If you are naughty again, mother will have to leave."

"No, mother is not allowed to leave." Rui Ge'er said, with a coquettish and anxious smile on the one hand, one small hand grabbed Ye Xizhao's sleeve, and the other hand held Ye Xizhao's thumb.

"Then you have to listen to your mother."

Rui Geer nodded obediently, "Yes! I am obedient!"

"Then don't let go?" Ye Xizhao's eyes were filled with smiles and warmth, and he kissed Brother Rui's little face.

Brother Rui turned his face sideways and kissed Ye Xizhao.

At times like this, Ye Xizhao always felt that it would be unreasonable not to love Rui Ge'er.

Ruige'er took off his clothes and lay down on the quilt, still sleepless, "Mother, I want to listen to a story."

"Okay, you can listen to it as you like." Ye Xizhao lay on his side beside Rui Ge'er, patted him gently, and told the story in a gentle voice.

Rui Ge'er gradually became sleepy, but he turned sideways, put his little hand on Ye Xizhao's neck, and held a strand of long hair.

Several times, Ye Xizhao thought that Rui Geer was asleep, and when he was about to get up, Rui Geer would wake up, grabbed her by the hair, and looked at her pitifully, "Mother said she would not leave."

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to add some clothes." Ye Xizhao explained without confidence.

"Sleep together, mother will also cover the quilt." Rui Geer wanted to distribute his little quilt to Ye Xizhao.

This villain is fine.Ye Xizhao stopped Rui Ge'er with a smile.

Zhilan took a piece of brocade and put it on Ye Xizhao's body, "Ma'am, let me do it first."

Ye Xizhao simply made himself more comfortable, took a pillow, lay down beside Rui Ge'er, and continued to tell him the story.

When Rui Ge'er finally fell asleep, Ye Xizhao was too sleepy to open his eyes, struggled for a while, and decided to sleep for a while before going back.

Yu Shaoheng fell asleep after taking a bath.Waking up in the middle of the night, the pillow is still empty.Sighing silently, he put on his clothes and went to the ground to find her in Ruige's son's room.

The mother and the son slept soundly, Rui Geer's little hand was pressed against her face.

Yu Shaoheng moved lightly, stuffed his son's hands back into the quilt, and tucked the corner of the quilt again. Finally, he looked angrily at Ye Xizhao who was sleeping.

His eyes softened quickly, and he shook her gently.

Ye Xizhao frowned slightly, babbled, and fell into a dream again.

Yu Shaoheng wrapped her in a brocade quilt and carried her back to his room.He was used to this kind of thing, he carried her back either from Sister Xin's son's room or here.

When he put her on the bed in the dormitory, he raised his hand and scratched the tip of her nose.

It's ashamed to say that he dotes on children... He has never reached the point where he only cares about children and ignores the people next to him.

After that, he turned off the light, rested in the dark, took her into his arms, and whispered helplessly: "Little heartless."

The next day, when Ye Xizhao woke up, Yu Shaoheng was already having dinner with Sister Xin.

Because of the rules set by Mr. Wei, Sister Xin and Brother Hao usually have to go to Taohua Pavilion early in the morning, so their meal time will be earlier.

When Ye Xizhao took a seat at the dining table, he glanced at the chime clock and asked with a smile, "Would you rather eat earlier than wait for me?"

Sister Xin explained embarrassingly: "I woke up earlier today, I'm hungry."

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously." Ye Xizhao brought over the bean curd buns that Sister Xin likes to eat, "Don't worry, eat more."

"Yeah." Sister Xin asked Yu Shaoheng while eating, "Daddy, do you have any tricks for riding horses and punching?"

Yu Shaoheng shook his head, "No, I can only learn on the ground and lay down the foundation slowly. Don't be brave in this kind of thing, just follow Mr. Wei's orders."

"I will." Sister Xin asked Ye Xizhao again, "Why didn't mother learn Kung Fu when she was young?"

"Because your grandparents won't let me learn."

"That's it." Sister Xin felt sorry for her mother, "Mother must be very good at martial arts." Then she laughed again, "It's okay if I don't learn. When I grow up, I will protect my mother."

Ye Xizhao felt sweet in his heart, and nodded with a smile, "Our sister Xin is getting more and more sensible."

Yu Shaoheng joked: "Only protect your mother?"

"And younger brother." After Sister Xin finished speaking, she vaguely understood what her father meant, and laughed crisply, "Daddy is very powerful, don't think that I don't know, so I don't need anyone to protect me."

Yu Shaoheng laughed loudly.

Sister Xin rushed to the school after eating, and said while running: "Mother, remember not to let my brother touch my cats, he always bullies my cats and pulls their tails."

"Do not worry."

Sister Xin felt relieved and waved her hands happily, "Well, then I'll be leaving."

In the morning, Ye Xizhao sat at the kang table and checked the accounts after hearing the steward's reply.

Yu Shaoheng didn't go out, but sat opposite her and flipped through the files.

For a long time, neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere was quiet and warm.

It was almost noon when Yu Shaoheng pushed the file aside.He turned to Ye Xizhao's side, and fell lazily, pillowing her leg.

Ye Xizhao stroked his cheek and continued to reconcile the accounts.

When eating at noon, there are only two husband and wife, and the two children are used to eating and taking a nap at Mrs. Tai.

Ye Xizhao put two medicinal meals in front of Yu Shaoheng, "Eat more of these."

She asked the medicated diet master to make this, and if he didn't go back to his room to eat, he would order someone to bring it to him.

Yu Shaoheng readily accepted it, but joked: "I'm afraid I'll be sick in the future, and I want you to take care of me?"

"Nonsense." Ye Xizhao made a gesture to hit his head with chopsticks, "I don't know who broke out in a cold sweat when the old injury broke out."

"I'll listen to you. Don't worry, I will definitely accompany you for the rest of my life."

Only then did Ye Xizhao laugh.

After eating, the two returned to the dormitory to take a rest.

Ye Xizhao helped him take off his shirt, let him lie on the bed, straddled his waist, and massaged his back skillfully with gestures.

He has two old injuries to his back that started sporadic half a year ago.When it happened, even a hard-bodied person like him was so painful that he couldn't move - it was Jia Nian who secretly told Ye Xizhao that it was impossible for her to hear such things from him.

After learning about this, Ye Xizhao ordered someone to invite Qiao Chen back from other places.Qiao Chen is a practitioner of medicine, and knows best that medicine is three-point poisonous, so he helped Yu Shaoheng recuperate with herbal diet.Together with the medicated diet master, he formulated a set of medicated diet, waited and watched for a period of time, and after confirming that it was effective, he left Beijing to continue his medical journey.

As for rubbing his back whenever he has time, it was suggested by the imperial physician.Telling her to massage some acupoints with medicinal wine is also beneficial. She studied it hard for a period of time, forcing him to listen to her arrangements, and gradually became a habit.

The aroma of medicinal wine in the room is getting stronger and stronger, and the warm sun is pouring down on the ground, showing soft light and shadow.The atmosphere makes people lazy and tired.

Yu Shaoheng's hand went around his back and grabbed her limp hand, "Okay, take a break."

"Okay." Ye Xizhao lay beside him, and asked him seriously, "To be honest, did it work?"

"Don't you always ask the imperial physician to come and take my pulse?"

Ye Xizhao twitched the corner of his mouth, "I can't believe what they say. If they are bought by you, it's not impossible for them not to tell me the truth."

Yu Shaoheng laughed, "How dare I lie to you about this kind of thing? When you settle accounts with me seriously, I will have no way out." Now these people in the mansion all respect her and look towards her from the bottom of their hearts.
