Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Three Old County Dukes Reluctant to Return
Xiao Bi and Hua Xiaohan were so impressed by Old Duke Huan that they fell into admiration.
Decades have passed since the incident, but the groom's grandson is still willing to take such a big risk for him. It's not just as simple as repaying a favor.
Hua Xiaohan hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, how are my parents doing?"
Duke Huan said: "They were not tortured, they were just kept in jail for a long time, and His Majesty kept pressing this case, so they were inevitably a little depressed.
But I have already asked the prison chief named Zhu to inform them of your brother's situation, which is somewhat of a comfort."
Xiao Bi said: "Then have you told Uncle Hua about his being a grandfather?"
Old Duke Huan flicked his finger on her forehead: "You still have the nerve to ask? How can I tell the Marquis about such a big thing that I have been keeping secret?"
The prison belongs to your brother-in-law, if you have the ability, you can go directly to him."
Xiao Bi covered her head and muttered: "If it weren't for your great-grandson, I might have gone to the prison to rescue people..."
Old Duke Huan laughed and scolded: "After being the city lord for a few days, I don't know how high the sky is. I dare to rob the prison?!"
Xiao Bi secretly thought that this has nothing to do with whether he should be the city lord or not.
If things were really pushed to that point, she could do something more serious than a prison robbery.
Old Duke Huan glanced at her and asked Hua Xiaohan: "Have you told Brother Yu and Brother Ji about having a baby?"
Hua Xiaohan also glanced at Xiao Bi and said with a guilty conscience: "No..."
Xiao Bi pinched her secretly and then said: "This matter was all my idea. The two of them went to help Ji Fengzuo to conquer the country without consulting us. Why can't we have a child without telling them?
Besides, distraction is the most important thing when marching and fighting, so I did this for their own good."
Mr. Huan said: "You are a sharp-tongued girl. I just asked you such a casual question, and you made so many remarks."
Xiao Bi chuckled and said, "According to what you said, do you support my approach?"
Old Duke Huan snorted softly: "It's a rare opportunity to scare those two brats, so of course I can't tell them.
When they come back, the four little babies will appear together, which will definitely scare them away!"
"That's right." Xiao Bi agreed, as if she had already seen such a situation.
Hua Xiaohan helplessly looked at the two people "cooperating together" and silently wiped a handful of bitter tears for Huan Yu and Huan Ji.
She said to Mr. Huan, "Grandpa, how long can you stay in Ruoshui City this time?"
"That's not certain." Old Duke Huan stroked his long beard: "If these bastards are sensible and obedient, it's not impossible for me to stay here for three to five years."
"Grandpa, the babies are beautiful and cute, why do you call them bastards?" Xiao Bi was really not happy.
Old Duke Huan said with a smile: "Do you dare to make a bet with me? Your grandfather also called them that."
I believe you are a ghost! She curled her lips secretly.
"Xiaohan, you talk to grandpa, and I'll go get the bastards."
It was just a matter of time to drink tea. She came back holding Zhuangzhuang in her left hand, Jiaojiao in her right hand, Qingzhao and Yingshui holding Lalan and Naoba respectively, talking and laughing.
Duke Huan suddenly felt that his eyes and ears were not strong enough.
The four little milk babies were gathered together like four snowballs, each one attracting more attention than the other.
Old Duke Huan touched his strong little head and pinched his delicate little face, but his eyes had already strayed to Nao Nao, who was crying fiercely.
"Who is this guy? He has a pretty loud voice."
Ying Shui patted Nao Nao gently and said, "Back to the old prince, this is the third young master, and his nickname is Nao Nao."
Old Duke Huan reached out and hugged Nao Nao over: "Why did you choose such a name? It really makes Nao Nao panic."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the little guy in his arms suddenly stopped crying, grinned and started giggling.
"This little guy is just like your mother when she was little!" Old Duke Huan smiled from ear to ear.
"Grandpa, you can't be partial, there's another one here!" Hua Xiaohan took Lalan from Qingzhao's arms.
Old Duke Huan leaned over and looked at the little baby who was sleeping soundly, and said with a smile: "What's the name of this kid? He looks very lucky!"
Hua Xiaohan smiled and said: "Xiao Bi got it all from me. This is Erbao Lalanlan."
Old Duke Huan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Wei, pretending to be angry: "You girl, even though you are wielding swords and guns all day long, you have read a lot of books over the years, how come you have lost everything when it comes to naming the children?"
Xiao Bi said: "It's up to you to choose a name. I'm just choosing a nickname, so it's easy to pronounce."
Old Duke Huan couldn't hold back his laughter and said, "What are Dabao and Sibao called again?"
Xiao Bi brought the two children in front of him as if they were presenting treasures: "The big treasure is strong and strong, and the fourth treasure is delicate."
"Strong, lazy, noisy, delicate..." Old Duke Huan read these names several times.
"Grandpa, the little guys don't have official names yet, why don't you give them to them now?" Hua Xiaohan suggested.
"There's no rush on this matter. We need to think carefully about the names of the children, or wait until Brother Yu and Brother Ji come back to discuss it before deciding.
After all, it’s your first time being a father, so you can’t just do nothing, right?”
Xiao Bi and Hua Xiaohan knew that he felt sorry for his two grandsons. Otherwise, with his great-grandfather here, it would not be Huan Yu and Huan Ji's turn to name them.
But I heard old Duke Huan say again: "With such a large group of bastards, Xiaojiu is very busy every day, how can Xiaohan bring them all by himself?
I have decided that I will stay in Ruoshui City to help you take care of your children until they are three or five years old."
"Ah?" Xiao Bi and Hua Xiaohan looked at each other.
Each of the children has a wet nurse and two maids. There are also several older maids to help take care of the children on weekdays. Wherever the elderly help is needed.
Besides, can he, a general who has led troops in war for decades, be able to raise a child?
The old man clearly couldn't bear to leave his great-grandchildren, so he wanted to find such an excuse.
Old Duke Huan glanced at the two of them: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and arrange a place for me to live in a more spacious place so that I can teach the four little guys how to practice martial arts."
Hua Xiaohan swayed.
Si Bao is just three months old and can't even sit still. Why should he practice martial arts?
Xiao Bi pushed her gently: "This matter is your responsibility, why don't you hurry up?"
"Oh." Hua Xiaohan calmed down: "Then grandson-in-law will resign first."
After she left, Xiao Bi approached the old county man again: "Grandpa, were you kidding me just now?"
Old Duke Huan said with a smile: "Don't think that I don't know what little calculations you are making.
Don’t you just think that staying in Weoushui City is like putting a bridle on your wild horse, and you can’t be free?”
