Chapter six hundred and fortieth four thoughts and thoughts
Sisi and Qing'er returned to the mansion at noon. When they saw Li Yanqing who had just returned, they naturally felt happy, especially Hu Qing'er, who was very lively and built a snowman with Jiaojiao and Baoniang, and she herself became like a child.
But Li Yanqing still sensitively captured Sisi's pretty face, and there was a hint of undetectable sadness hidden. The reason for the sadness was self-evident, which made Li Yanqing feel a little heartbroken.
After drinking afternoon tea, Li Yanqing went to see his son in the cradle again. The little guy still slept so sweetly.
"He spent most of the day sleeping, so I said I had a sleepy bug!" Cao Yun smiled lovingly with his son's little face.
"It's all the same, babies at this stage like to sleep."
"Of course they know, it's just a joke!"
Cao Yun smiled and whispered: "I told Sisi about that."
"What is her attitude?" Li Yanqing stared at his wife.
"She didn't say anything, like she didn't hear it."
Cao Yun sighed softly and said, "I just realized that I have done something wrong now. You should tell her. If I tell you, she will feel that I am pitying her."
Li Yanqing was overwhelmed. He knew that Cao Yun was right. Sisi should be a little sensitive. If Cao Yun didn't say it, it doesn't matter, but Cao Yun had already said it, and he had to make up for it himself.
Sisi's yard is next door, and there is a small door between the two yards to facilitate their interactions. The yard is very quiet. Two maids ran out to have snowball fights. Li Yanqing came to Sisi's room and saw Sisi lowering her head to embroidery. She walked in by herself, but she didn't look up.
Li Yanqing sighed in his heart, gently holding her slender shoulders from behind, Sisi's body shook slightly, and a string of tears fell on the embroidery shed.
"I'm not good today!"
Li Yanqing tried to soften his tone, for fear of stimulating this sensitive and self-esteem concubine again. "I asked her to come to you without taking your feelings."
Sisi suddenly turned around and leaned in her husband's arms and cried sadly. Li Yanqing gently licked her hair lovingly. Sometimes Li Yanqing also asked herself, if Shishi had not followed her, would she have lived a better life? Perhaps she was already a noble concubine, not a concubine of an intermediate official. The more she thought about it, the more guilt he felt.
After crying for a while, Sisi felt a little better, then she wiped away her tears with a fragrant palm and whispered: "I didn't blame Yunniang. I know she has a kind heart. I just blame myself for being useless and unable to give birth to a baby for you."
"Don't think so. I didn't marry you to give birth to a child."
"What's that for?" Sisi pinched her husband coquettishly, "You said!"
Li Yanqing lowered his head and kissed her cherry lips, and smiled and said, "Listen to you to play the piano, drink your tea, enjoy the spring flowers and autumn moons together, taste the summer lotus and winter snow together, and more importantly, there is also the joy of bed."
Sisi was just as she could tell, but her last sentence suddenly made her pretty face blush. She couldn't help but bit her lip and twisted her waist, "What are you talking nonsense in broad daylight?"
Seeing her eyes flowing and charming, Li Yanqing couldn't help but feel a swaying in her heart, and she pulled her towards the inner room. Sisi turned around and refused to rely on her. How could she do such things during the day? The two of them pulled and pulled, and Sisi couldn't resist her husband in the end, and her husband picked up her legs and carried them into the inner room.
The clouds were closed and the rain stopped. After a lot of love, the two finally separated. At this time, the laughter of two maids suddenly came from the yard. Sisi was so scared that she quickly tidied up her dress. Fortunately, she insisted on not taking off her dress and her hair was not messy, otherwise she would have become ugly.
"Si Si, I'll go to the study first."
Li Yanqing had packed up her clothes and walked out with a smile. Sisi hurriedly chased her out, feeling her legs were weak. She was embarrassed and angry, so she had to hold the door and shout, "Husband, wait a moment!"
"Please give me instructions!" Li Yanqing stopped with a smile.
Sisi glared at him and then whispered: "Let's go and see tomorrow."
"What are you looking at?" Li Yanqing was stunned.
"What do you say you're looking at? Of course you're looking at the children!"
Li Yanqing suddenly realized and hurried forward and said, "Has Madam figured it out?"
"What does it mean to figure it out?" Sisi said angrily: "I didn't refuse, okay, are they just a little worried?"
"What are you worried about?"
"Worrying that there is no fate!"
Li Yanqing laughed, "I can't guarantee whether there is fate or not. We will know if we go and see it tomorrow."
"No! You still don't understand what I mean. Yun Niang said you had seen that child before. Did you not feel it at that time?"
Li Yanqing immediately understood that Sisi was worried that the child would not have a fate with him. Even if Sisi adopted him, he would be his daughter and he didn't even feel that he could be a good father to the child.
Li Yanqing thought for a while and said, "Mr. Mo was holding her in his arms at that time. I never thought that she would become my child. Without such thoughts, I would not be moved. But I believe that fate belongs to fate, and feelings belong to feelings. As time goes by, she will definitely become the baby daughter in my heart."
After her husband made such a statement, Shishi finally felt relieved, and she couldn't help asking, "Is that child cute?"
Li Yanqing nodded with a smile, "The child is very pretty, otherwise Mr. Mo would not have taken a look at her at first glance."
Sisi sat down slowly, and she knew that she might not be able to sleep tonight.
The next morning, Li Yanqing took Guo Sisi toward Chenzhou Gate in the mansion.
Mo Jun is from Daming Mansion, but his wife and children moved to the capital a few years ago. Since it was the house that Li Daqi rented for him, his home was also near Hongqiao, a single courtyard with five houses. Mo Jun has two sons and one daughter. His eldest son runs a restaurant business in Daming Mansion, and his second son works as a county official in Xuzhou. His eleven-year-old daughter Mo Chou follows his parents.
Last night, Li Yanqing asked Zhang Ying to come over in advance to explain the situation to Mo Jun, and also knew that the child was next to him, so when Li Yanqing's ox cart just stopped in front of the yard, Mo Jun brought his wife to greet him.
At this time, the car door opened, Li Yanqing came out of the ox cart, and Mo Jun hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I am not good at seeing the Tongzhi!"
Li Yanqing smiled and waved his hand, "Old Mo, don't be so much polite between us. Besides, we were discussing the new recruitment not long ago!"
"Actually, I've only been back for a few days. We are still planning to go to Daming Mansion tomorrow. Fortunately, Zhang Ying came last night."
Mo Jun just hinted that Li Yanqing was fine.
Li Yanqing nodded, turned around and helped Sisi out of the ox cart. Sisi was still wearing a hat and a gauze covering her face. This was her habit. Although she had disappeared in the capital for many years and most people had forgotten her face, she still maintained the habit of not showing her true face. Mo Jun and his wife also knew that they did not think they were different.
"Please ask for it, Madam!"
Mo Jun invited Li Yanqing and Guo Sisi into the yard, and his daughter Mo Chou ran forward and saluted Li Yanqing with a smile, "Happy New Year Uncle Li!"
Li Yanqing knew her little thoughts and joked and said, "Little guy, there are several days left before the New Year!"
Having said that, Li Yanqing took out a small gold ingot of five ounces and handed it to Mo Chou. Mo Chou jumped up happily, "Dad, it's gold!"
"You kid is ignorant, so thank you uncle!"
"Thank you, Uncle Li!" Mo Chou bowed and ran back to his room.
Li Yanqing took Sisi into the living room. The room was as warm as spring. As soon as they sat down, Mo Jun's wife walked in with a cradle.
Sisi stood up suddenly, feeling extremely nervous. She heard from her husband that the child was less than five months old, only two months older than Baoer, and she was just a baby.
"Madam, carry it over! She just woke up."
Mo Jun's wife smiled and handed the child to Sisi. Sisi carefully hugged the child. This was an extremely pink baby, with thin eyebrows, a small nose, a well-behaved and cute little mouth, and a pair of black and big eyes full of aura. Sisi couldn't help but lower her head and kiss her little nose. However, she did not cry, but instead giggled.
The child's laughter seemed to touch the softest part of Sisi's heart. Sisi's heart melted suddenly. She hugged the child tightly, and could no longer let go, and looked at her husband begging.
Li Yanqing nodded when he knew Sisi was moved.
Mo Jun could see clearly from the side and smiled, "My sister has three sons at home. She kept telling me that she wanted to adopt a daughter. I happened to see that the child was well-behaved and her parents died, so I started to think about it. However, I hadn't told my sister yet that she had planned to surprise her. If the wife liked it, she would take it away! It was also a blessing for this child."
The ox cart had already entered the Chenzhou gate. Sisi was still holding the child and kissing him again and again, making the child giggle. Her face was filled with laughter. Li Yanqing knew that she had liked this child to the extreme, and the maternal nature that had accumulated in her heart had been surging out.
"Husband, do you know? This child was given to me by the Bodhisattva!"
Tears flashed in Sisi's eyes, "I went to Lianhua Temple yesterday morning, knelt in front of the Bodhisattva to make a wish, begging the Bodhisattva to give me a child, and I will definitely rebuild the Lianhua Temple and reshape the golden body for the Bodhisattva. As a result, the child came as soon as I made the vow. Isn't this what the Bodhisattva gave me?"
After my beloved concubine said this, Li Yanqing also felt that it was a fate. He nodded, "Let me tell my father and let him pay for the reconstruction of the Lotus Temple!"
"No! No! No! No! I have savings, did you forget it? I have 30,000 guan of savings, and later I changed them all to sapphires. A few days ago, I asked about it and found that the price of sapphires on the market had doubled, so I took out 10,000 guan to repay this wish."
Li Yanqing thought for a while and said, "Don't move the sapphire. I received a lot of rewards from the last Northern Expedition and this quelling of the rebellion. I will give you a thousand taels of gold in the future, so you can use it to fulfill your wish!"
Sisi just doesn't want to use Ahon's money to fulfill her wish. Since her husband gave her, she can accept it with peace of mind.
At this moment, Sisi suddenly laughed and said, "Husband, give the child a name!"
Li Yanqing also laughed, "Yesterday I was complaining that I didn't have the chance to name my child! Today I got a daughter."
He pondered for a moment and said, "Since you asked for this child from Lianhua Temple, you can name her "Lian", and the wet nurse is A Lian!"
"Okay! Just call her Li Lian, this is the girl's name."
Li Yanqing hugged the child and gently slapped the child's tender little face with great affection. Within a day, he not only saw his son, but also had a daughter.
