When Qi Yun and Ye Jiao returned to the courtyard on the mountain, Xu Bao had already started to make a scene.

The child could not bear to be hungry, and he had never been away from Ye Jiao for so long. Xu Bao held his mouth and did not cry, but his little head seemed to be looking for someone.

Liu was also particularly worried. Seeing that it was going to be dark, her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law did not come back. She was naturally worried, but Xiao Su could not ask a word in her mouth. The little girl remembered Ye Jiao's advice and hid it tightly. Liu was not difficult for her, but she already planned to send someone down the mountain to find it.

Just then, Qi Yun and Ye Jiao's carriage came back.

This time it was Tiezi driving a horse with a wisp of white hair on his head, while the coachman brought a new horse from the drugstore to bring back the empty car in front of the abandoned yard.

As soon as he entered the hospital, Xu Bao seemed to have a connection, opening his mouth and wailing.

His cry was always loud, and in Qi Yun's words, the little black in the family could not overwhelm him.

Now a howl made Liu, who was holding him, startled.

The next moment I saw Qi Yun and Ye Jiao hurrying through the door. Liu looked at them first and made sure they were all right, and then he smiled and coaxed Xu Bao in his arms: "look, Xu Bao is smart and knows his mother is coming. Listen to this cry. It's loud, but it's really healthy."

Mrs. Liu also laughed amusingly, while Ye Jiao first saluted to Liu's obedience, and then reached out to pick up Xubao.

As soon as the little doll arrived in Ye Jiao's arms, she stopped crying. Because her hands and feet were swaddled and could not move, he could only twist his head and tie his face into Ye Jiao's arms, rubbing his face around, humming in his mouth, obviously hungry.

Ye Jiao couldn't feed Liu here, so she whispered, "Mother, I'm late. I'm tired of you." I'll talk to you when I go to change my clothes. "

"it should be a tiring day to go out. Pack up and have a rest. You don't have to come to me again." Liu smiled and nodded and let Ye Jiao leave, but she stopped Qi Yun, "Erlang, you and so on."

Qi Yun's eyes were fixed on Ye Jiao, but after listening to Liu's words, he could only pause and turned back and saluted him: "Niang."

Liu looked at him with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand and said, "come here and let my mother have a look."

Qi Yun's eyes looked without trace at the wound on his arm, and now he had changed his robe. The cloth wrapped on his arm could not be seen in the first gear of his sleeves, and he was not afraid to be looked at by Liu.

He went over, sat beside Liu, and said slowly, "just now I went down the hill to the drugstore to see what was going on in the shop. As a result, it rained and it was difficult to go out, so it was delayed."

This is half true and half false, but you can't find anything wrong.

Liu doesn't really want to ask what to ask. For her, it's all right to take care of the house after taking care of it. Erlang has an idea. He has a plan in his chest, and his head is the smartest of the three brothers. Liu never worries too much about him.

Reaching out and gently holding Qi Yun's hand, Liu smiled and said, "it might as well do something. You shouldn't have gone out to run in the rain. Your body is still empty. This rainy day is the coldest. It's good to hide from the rain in your own shop. It's just that you are tired and worried about going out to find you. You should pacify her later."

When Qi Yun heard the speech, his face moved, his eyebrows and eyes softened, and he softly replied, "I see, Niang."

He not only braved the rain to find himself, but also helped himself save his life. Qi Yun thought that he was in fact very lucky in his life. Although his body was rotten, his parents were in pain and his brothers helped him. When he was old, he married the best and best girl, and his life was not in vain.

Liu clapped his hand again, but didn't let him stay. He only said a few words and then let him go back.

After Qi Yun left, Liu lost his smile and asked softly, "Ma Liu, is there something you are not telling me when you look at Jiro?"

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice, "second Young Master." Filial piety is the most. If there is something to hide, it is probably because he is afraid of his wife's worries. "

Liu nodded, did not deny this, transferred the Buddha beads: "my three sons are filial, sensible and courteous, usually will not hide anything from me." It's just that Jiro doesn't say it, and I'm willing to pretend I don't know, but I still have to do what I have to do. "

She saw clearly that Qi Yun's clothes had changed, and so did the iron ones.

Although Ye Jiao looked at the satin dress in the morning, the cloak she was wearing disappeared.

Even if Liu can't guess what happened, she knows that the two must not only be delayed by the heavy rain, but there will always be something else.

Mrs. Liu whispered, "Ma'am, if you don't rest assured, just call Tiezi in and ask."

Liu shook his head and said, "No, if I ask him, I will always let Jiro know." Since he wants to keep it from me, I'll pretend I don't know, or he'll have to worry, too. "

Standing up with the beads in his hand, Liu thought for a moment and asked Mrs. Liu to come forward.

She whispered: "Let people go down the mountain, inform the house, watch the door and guard the door. if any guests refuse to come, go and tell Dalang that there is no hurry to come back. There has been a lot of rain recently, just stay on Zhuangzi."

Mrs. Liu answered and turned to go out.

When walked out the door, saw Xiao Su and Tiezi sitting together, not knowing what they were whispering about.

When they saw Mrs. Liu going out, they stood up and said, "Ma Liu."

Mrs. Liu nodded and asked with a smile on her face, "Why are you sitting outside?" It's getting cold, don't always sit on a stone stool and be careful with your belly. "

The two answered honestly, and Mrs. Liu left.

When she was far away, Xiao Su grabbed the iron and tugged at his sleeve. Looking at a scratch on his elbow from the back of his hand, she burst into tears: "Why is it so badly hurt?"

Tiezi has been protecting her since she was a child, and he was always most afraid of her crying. "it doesn't matter," he said. "I'm much lighter than the young master. Don't worry. It'll be all right in a few days."

Xiao Su pursed her lips, held back tears, nodded, and then remembered, "is the young master hurt, too?" What about the second daughter-in-law? is the second daughter-in-law all right? "

With that, the little girl was about to get up and run inside, as if to go in and see if her second daughter-in-law was hurt. Her face was very eager.

Tiezi busily pulled her and asked her to sit down.

At this moment, the young master and the young lady are talking, and the second young master will not like it when she goes in.

"it's all right, isn't Li Lang-Zhong coming along? they are all fine now, that is, when the bath water is carried in, you remember to tell the second young lady that the second young master's wound should not touch the water, just be more careful." Tiezi smiled and rubbed Xiao Su's head.

As for how the injury, he did not say, left and right will only frighten Xiao Su, the other side is of no use.

At this time, a woman came over and said to Xiao Su with a smile, "this is the sweet soup that my wife asked me to bring you. Drink it while it is hot to dispel the cold."

Xiao Su held it in her hand and said thank you. Only when the wife left did she wonder, "Madam, give me sweet soup." Do what? "

Tiezi's heart is clear, this is Liu Shi reward her.

When Ye Jiao left, Xiao Su was afraid that she didn't know what danger was ahead of her, but when she got Ye Jiao's words, she told her to keep her mouth shut and take good care of the young master.

And Xiao Su really didn't say a word, holding back the matter until they came back without revealing anything to Liu.

She did this because she didn't know what Ye Jiao was going to do, she just took orders from her master.

What Liu rewarded was her loyalty.

On the contrary, if Liu had easily pried Xiao Su's mouth open, she would probably have been sent back and kicked out of the house, not anymore.

Tiezi reached out and touched Xiao Su's head and smiled and said to her, "Don't ask any more questions. I'll eat if you give me something. I smell good. If you don't eat it, I'll eat it." Pretending to snatch the spoon from her hand.

Who knows, Xiao Su put the spoon directly into his hand: "you went out for a turn, afraid it is cold, this is for you to eat, I am fine." With that, regardless of Tiezi's expression, Xiao Su stood up and patted her skirt to see if the bath water was boiled.

Leaving Tiezi in a daze at the red bean sweet soup that night.

After a while, he laughed, but he was a little silly in front of the clever young man Qi Yun, and soon ate up the red bean soup.

In the house, Ye Jiao had finished breast-feeding, arranged her clothes, and put Xu Bao on the bed to tease him.

Now Xubao can see a lot of things clearly. He already loves to laugh. A little teasing means giggling all the time. His arms and legs are very strong, and he is especially cute when he moves around.

When Ye Jiao went out to ask someone to lift the bath bucket to make the screen, Qi Yun naturally lowered his injured left arm and held out his right hand and turned the lying Xubao over.

Xubao seems to prefer lying on his stomach to lying down, and now he was pulled and turned over by his own father.

But he was not noisy or noisy, just snorting his limbs, looking for a way to turn back.

Qi Yun just sat and watched, not helping, but from time to time reached out and patted him on the stomach.

My son looks like a tortoise that can't be turned over.

When he heard the footsteps of Ye Jiao's thick-soled embroidered shoes, Qi Yun quickly supported the little guy's back, and he turned back smoothly.

Xubao laughed again, lying happily on the bed, looking at Qi Yun with his head held high, his eyes black like grapes, particularly bright.

When Ye Jiao walked over to take a look, she saw such a lively and harmonious father-son playing scene.

With a smile on her face, she went to sit next to Qi Yun, but watched Xu Bao grab his meat paw to Qi Yun's left arm and hurriedly stopped him: "Don't disturb your father. He has a wound on his arm and feels pain. Xu Bao is a good boy."

When Qi Yun heard the speech, he couldn't help smiling.

Ye Jiao blinked at him and said, "Why are you laughing?"

"Niao Niang, you always speak in two words now. It sounds interesting." As Qi Yun said, he turned sideways, blocked his left arm, and held out his right hand to pinch the little fat hand of Nii Xubao.

Xubao smiled and hugged his hand. He could not understand anything, but he no longer stretched out his paw on Qi Yun's left arm.

However, Ye Jiao did not feel any difference in her speech. Probably when she was usually taking care of Xubao, Mrs. Liu always ate a meal and slept on Rest. With Ye Jiao, she always unconsciously followed, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with her.

He looked at Qi Yun questioningly: "what's interesting?"

Qi Yun looked at her and said with a smile, "just like if I called you, Jiaojiao …". "

As soon as the title came out, Qi Yun felt that it was a little too sweet, and some could not go on.

But without waiting for him to speak again, he saw Ye Jiao's cheeks flushed.

In fact, this is a rare thing. Usually her wife is the most cheerful. Everything depends on her heart and what she wants to do. Even when Ye Jiao studies books together, Ye Jiao can never change her face and is never shy. That heart is like glass, particularly transparent.

But now Ye Jiao flushed her cheeks and glared at him with her eyes: "Don't yell like that, Xianggong, like a child."

Qi Yun bent the corners of his mouth and no longer teased her, but kept the title in his heart.

There will always be a time when we can talk about it.

Ye Jiao bowed her head, patted Xubao's little ass, and looked at Qi Yun: "the bathtub in the outer room is ready."

Qi Yun did not get up immediately, but said to Ye Jiao, "Why don't you wash it first, Niang Niang, you are also very tired today."

Ye Jiao blinked and said, "No, you're hurt. Be careful not to touch the water. I'll wash it for you first."

Hearing this, Qi Yun immediately got up, went neatly to the screen, took off his clothes and went into the bathtub.

Ye Jiao went to fiddle with the screen again, looked at what could be blocked, and called Xiao Su to come in to help take care of Xubao, then tied up her loop, took a towel and went around behind the screen.

This is not the first time Ye Jiao has seen Qi Yun take a bath. The last time she had just got married, Ye Jiao saw it by accident. At that time, Qi Yun was red with fear.

Now Ye Jiao's state of mind is about the same as before, but Qi Yun has made a lot of progress. There are no secrets about each other. Just look at it.

It's not like haven't seen it before.

Just when Ye Jiao wiped his back with a towel, Qi Yun would still have red ears.

Ye Jiao took a bath bean and opened it on a towel, carefully avoiding his arm, making a circle on the man's back and asking, "I forgot to ask you just now. Didn't the third Childe ask you to go, didn't you say it had something to do with the eldest brother?"

"well, speaking of which, he said that the eldest brother is in good health and will be back soon, but someone will come back with him. I don't know who it is. The third Childe didn't say, but I think I'll know when the time comes."

This made Ye Jiao feel at ease, lifted some water on him, pinched her soft fingertips on his arm, and said softly: "it's good for the eldest brother to be safe, and now he can still come back in time for the Spring Festival, and so is Xubao. Brother has prepared so many things for Xu Bao, and as a result, Xu Bao hasn't seen him yet."

Qi Yun smiled, but said nothing.

The trouble with the third Childe is obviously not small, involving the inner court of the royal family, he is naturally an ordinary people will not rush to inquire.

Now that his family has not reached the point where honor or disgrace is tied to the third Childe, Qi Yun has not thought of looking for him recently. at least after a while, he will make a decision when Ye Pingrong comes back.

After all, Ye Pingrong has been with the third Childe for a long time, and he has to discuss with him how to go in the future.

At this time, Ye Jiao heard two voices.

She couldn't help poking her head out of the screen and saw that Xiao Su was holding Xu Bao. The little girl had some helplessness on her face, and Xu Bao was smiling and proud of the map she had drawn on the bed.

Xiao Su looked at Ye Jiao and shook Xubao. Sure enough, she saw that the little trousers were wet.

Ye Jiao asked, "after getting so wet, change your clothes."

Xiao Su immediately went to get a new one, wiped the young master with a soft dry cloth, and was ready to change his pants again.

But Ye Jiao said this behind Qi Yun. Qi Yun did not know what Ye Jiao was looking at. He just leaned against the bathtub and could not turn around casually because of an injury in his arm, so he could only turn his head and saw that Ye Jiao's clothes were wet.

Naturally, I thought what Ye Jiao said just now was about her own.

It was also inevitable. Ye Jiao was afraid that Qi Yun would be cold, so she added Scald to the bath several times, and it was inevitable that she spilled it.

Qi Erlang said solemnly, "it doesn't matter if it's wet, but now it's cold. If it freezes to it, it's not good. It just happens that the bathtub here is big. Just come in and wash it."

Xiao Su is puzzled. There is a charcoal basin in the house. Where is it cool?

Qi Yun thought that Ye Jiao would always hesitate for a moment, but who knew her wife unexpectedly agreed: "that's fine."

This made Qi Yun move his body subconsciously, as if he wanted to make room for her.

But Ye Jiao put the towel aside and turned out of the screen.

When Qi Yun was strange, he saw a small white dumpling naked and put into the bathtub.

The fleshy body lay directly in his arms, and Qi Yun hugged him hurriedly, with Ye Jiao's smiling voice in his ear: "husband, please let him sit on your lap and hold on."

Then Qi Yun stared with his son, who was lying in his arms.

Xubao looked at him with a smile and vomited a bubble in his mouth.

Qi Yun was stunned and accepted the unexpected change, coughed, hugged him, and washed his son with Ye Jiao.

I just thought to self that still had to get off the mountain early.

At least when went home, could take Xu Bao to sleep in the wing, but in the mountain, there was only one room, and there was no place to go if wanted to take it away.

However, Qi Yun, who was on his mind, did not go back immediately. Whether it was to take care of the injury or for the sake of the red leaves on the mountain, he would not act in undue haste.

After staying in the mountain for another three days, they accompanied Liu to see enough of the beautiful red leaves, and the party took a carriage to Qi's house.
