All of us were so shocked that our eyes widened. Xue Muhua noticed everyone's sight and hurriedly turned around, and saw the figure pounce forward and hugged her ankle.
"ah!"
Xue Muhua shouted lowly, hurriedly bent down, hugged her small body, and said with a smile: "Why are you so naughty, little brown egg!"
"Yeah——ah!"
The small figure made a pleasant babbling sound, and a pair of small hands pounced on her shoulders. Only then did we see clearly that it was a little doll, very small, and seemed to be only seven months old. She was wearing a small pink dress, which made her look pink and jade-like, like a jade-carved doll.
This is their daughter!
I was stunned and couldn't even move my eyes away. Pei Yuanfeng walked forward in two steps in three steps. He couldn't wait to show a gentle smile on his face, gently stroked the child's back with one hand, and supported Xue Muhua's shoulder with the other: "Why are you coming out? Didn't you let you lie down?"
Xue Muhua smiled and looked up at her: "I can't do anything about the child crawling all over the house, so I can only follow her."
"Just let the wet nurse see you."
"I still want to look at Xiaoxiao by myself. She is too clingy."
"You are not well yet."
"I know."
The couple said a few words softly, and then Xue Muhua walked down the steps with the child in his arms, slowly walked up to us, and first saluted Lao Yao: "Dad."
Lao Yao's eyes were also looking at the child in her arms as if he was holding a thread, and his face was surprised and happy: "Xiaoxiao can crawl."
"Yes, she is very strong. She just climbed a few days ago and couldn't stop."
Yao Lao's eyes and eyebrows were filled with smiles, and he said, "I'll hug her."
"Why."
Xue Muhua carefully gave the child to him. Lao Yao immediately took it over and looked down at the little girl with a smile. The little girl didn't admit to having children. She probably had some impression of this grandfather. She opened her eyes wide and looked at him for a while, stretched out her tender little hand and touched his gray beard, and immediately smiled.
As soon as I saw her, I couldn't help laughing, and Qinghan next to me also laughed.
Children seem to have such magic. No matter how heavy the burden they carry or what kind of worry they have, when they see the innocent smile of children, it seems like they are washed away by a clear spring and nothing is left.
Hearing our laughter, Xue Muhua looked up at us and said with a smile: "I'm laughing."
I shook my head quickly and said, "The child is so cute."
"She's name is Xiaoxiao."
"Xiaoxiao? This name is interesting. How old is she?"
"It's been seven and a half months."
"oh……"
I remember that Qinghan seemed to have told me before that Xue Muhua had given birth prematurely and the process was a bit dangerous. Fortunately, Yao Lao kept protecting her here, so that the mother and daughter were safe.
Although it was premature, the child was not affected by any influence. He was white and fat, especially his fleshy little arm, which was divided into several sections, like a tender lotus root. I couldn't take my eyes off and wanted to hug the child, but Yao Lao refused to let go as soon as he hugged her. While lowering his head to tease her, he turned around and walked towards the monastery.
Xue Muhua looked back and said a few words to Pei Yuanfeng, then took me and Qinghan over.
The people we brought were arranged by Pei Yuanfeng to another place. Qinghan and I walked to the door and found that although the monastery looked like a small farmyard outside, it was very delicate inside. The ground was covered with bright wooden boards, and it was clean and spotless. We took off our shoes and walked in with socks. We saw that the corners of the tables and chairs inside were also wrapped in cloth, and we were obviously worried that we would hit the child.
This couple really loves their children.
Yao Lao walked over with Xiaoxiao in his arms, sat on the cushion on one side, lowered his head to tease the child, Xue Muhua led us to the table to sit down, looked back, and only smiled, and immediately a maid served hot tea.
She smiled and said, "You must have worked very hard all the way, right?"
"It's okay."
"Actually, I really want to pick you up, but Yuanfeng doesn't let me go out."
"By the way, I heard that you have an old disease, what's going on?"
Xue Muhua smiled. Before she could speak, Pei Yuanfeng's voice came from behind: "She caught a cold during giving birth and fell into the root of the disease."
Looking back, he had already ordered his soldiers to settle the people we brought. He walked in and took a look at Lao Yao and the child next to him, then sat down next to Xue Muhua and asked, "Have you drunk the medicine?"
"You need to ask this, of course I remember it."
"That's good."
They looked like an old couple, but they had been talking about it for so many years. Even if they were young and frivolous, they should have almost done it at this time. The best state of the two of them when they get along is probably just a few words enough to know what the other person is thinking and enough to say what they want. So there is no too much dispute or noise, it is plain, like the warm tea in a cup, without much smell. Only after drinking it can you feel a little sweetness.
I looked at her with concern: "Is it cold during childbirth?"
Xue Muhua smiled and said, "This place is not sunny all year round. The weather is not good when I was young and the windows are not tight, so it is not a big deal to catch a little cold."
Pei Yuanfeng said: "If you are willing to listen to me and go back to Chengdu to have a baby, you won't be like this."
Xue Muhua glanced at him and said nothing.
I looked at them and realized after thinking about it. When she was young, it seemed that the war outside was at its most intense. Pei Yuanfeng guarded Jianmen Pass. Although it was easy to defend and difficult to attack based on natural dangers, it was difficult to talk about the things on the battlefield. She insisted on following here, and even the children were born in such a difficult place. Obviously, they came with a mentality of living and dying together.
And why didn’t Pei Yuanfeng know that, so he felt sorry for her so much.
So, I smiled and said, "But just raise it well, you will love her."
Pei Yuanfeng looked at me, then looked at Mu Hua again, but didn't say anything, but reached out to grab the teapot next to her, poured her a cup of hot tea and put it in her hand.
Xue Muhua also glanced at him, said nothing, lowered his head and smiled softly.
Seeing them like this, I felt warm and envious. For a moment, the four of them didn't say anything, just sat quietly and drank their own tea. I heard the sound of a child's breasts coming from beside me. When I looked up, Xiaoxiao had already crawled on Yao Lao's chest and pulled his beard to look up. She looked particularly cute, like a little puppy.
Lao Yao didn't struggle at all. As the child struggled, he reached out and flipped over her furry hair, and then said, "Her rash is healed now, right?"
Xue Muhua hurriedly turned around and said, "It's much better. I've taken two doses of medicine and kept wiping the plaster you left behind. Now it's nothing, but I just have a bad appetite."
"That's fine, just give her an appetizer."
"I prescribed a prescription myself and gave it to you for your examination."
"Um."
Xue Muhua whispered to us "lost her companion", then turned around and went through the boxes and cabinets to get the prescription and plaster, and went with Yao Lao to take care of the children on the other side. Pei Yuanfeng looked back at them for a long time before turning his head to look at us, chuckled and said, "I'm laughing."
Qinghan and I shook our heads quickly.
In fact, what I saw along the way was either the Gobi Desert or the wind and sand beasts. Although I didn’t complain, I really suffered a lot. In addition, Miaoyan stayed in Wuwei again, and I felt very uncomfortable in my heart. Now that I saw such a warm and happy picture, I felt that my body and mind were about to be healed. It was too late to take a look at me, so why would I feel ridiculous?
Even when I looked back and saw him, I was just amazed at the fact that the young man's spirit had been curbed in the past and showed the steadyness of a mature man. Now I understand that it is because of having a child.
With children, we naturally cannot be a willful and reckless child.
When Pei Yuanfeng became serious, he seemed to have changed his body. He looked at us and said, "I think you should have come long ago, why did it take so long to postpone it?"
I glanced at Qinghan and said, "We will escort the coffin of the concubine to the imperial tomb together."
"I know, Concubine Zhao has already-" Speaking of this, Pei Yuanfeng's expression slightly sank, and everyone's emotions were also a little depressed. He was silent for a moment before saying again: "But you are still a long time later than I expected."
"Because of something unexpected happened in the middle."
"What accident?"
"When we were worshiping Huangling, we found that Xie Feng was also peeping at the imperial tomb. His Majesty the Emperor ordered the pursuit, and everyone went on the road together; but halfway through, we encountered wind and sand on the road, and I, together with Concubine Nangong, and Miaoyan, separated from them. Later, when we met Yu Wenying, we followed him to pay tribute to the Longxi Army. After that—"
Before I could finish my words, a light suddenly flashed in Pei Yuanfeng's eyes: "Longxi Army?"
Feeling that he was particularly sensitive to these three words, I stopped and looked at his frowning slightly: "Yuanfeng, do you know the Longxi Army?"
He looked up at me and said with a complicated expression: "Of course I know."
I asked hurriedly, "Then, do you know, what's going on with this army? I heard that it was destroyed overnight."
“…”
Pei Yuanfeng didn't say anything. I saw his hand on the table pinched slightly, but it quickly let go. He raised his head and looked at me and said, "This matter is very complicated, I can't explain it clearly in a few words. What happened to you later?"
“…”
Chapter completed!
