Chapter 888 Chun Tao Peeping
Ye Ge'er is a child who is born to cry and make trouble. He has a very impatient temper, as if he was born with a stubbornness that refuses to give in.
As soon as he opens his eyes, if something goes against his will, whether he is hungry, thirsty, or feels that there is no one around, he will immediately start howling at the top of his lungs.
The cry was bright and crisp, with great penetrating power, as if it could blow the roof off. Anyone who heard it would feel a tightness in their heart and would rush over to see what was going on.
As long as he was awake during the day, he hardly wanted to lie in bed for a moment longer, and he hated being alone in an empty cradle.
Only when someone held him firmly in his arms, rocked him gently, walked with him, and hummed a soft tune, would he calm down a little and stop sobbing.
But this was far from enough - not only did he insist on being held, he also insisted on going outside and was determined not to stay in the room for long.
As soon as he arrived in the yard, he seemed like a different person. He immediately squinted his eyes, turned his little head around, looked here and there, as if only by smelling the fragrance of flowers and grass brought by the wind, listening to the chirping of birds on the treetops and the faint voices of people in the distance, he felt comfortable and contentedly quieted down, and occasionally he would make some vague, like happy babbling sounds.
Heng Ge'er is completely different. He has been like a little adult since he was born, and he is born with the calm demeanor of an older brother.
He rarely cries and his temperament is so quiet that it makes people feel distressed. Even if Ye Ge'er beside him cries loudly, his little face flushed red, he just opens his clear and bright eyes quietly, not startled or disturbed, not arrogant or impatient, as if the noise has nothing to do with him, and he has his own quiet little world.
Although he was so young, he was already trying hard to raise his head and look at this new world carefully and bit by bit with his curious eyes.
When he is not sleeping, he lies quietly without making any noise or shouting. He likes to turn his little head and look around, following the moving light and shadow or hanging toys with his eyes, but he never babbles and disturbs others.
Especially when someone was talking softly next to him, he would listen very attentively without blinking. His little look was so serious that his black eyes seemed to be able to reflect people and understand the gentleness in the adults' words.
"It's windy outside, why are you carrying him outside again?" Jing Qiurong hurriedly chased out of the yard, with obvious complaints and worries in her tone.
She had long been dissatisfied with her husband's habit. Xu Dingchun always liked to take Zhaozhao outside whenever he had time, and he always gave it as a good reason, saying, "The yard is too big. It allows her to get familiar with the environment of the mansion and learn the way around early so that she won't get lost when she grows up."
This may sound reasonable, but how old is the child? The autumn wind has already brought a chill, and the scorching sun is still scorching. How can a child's delicate body withstand the torment of the wind and sun?
"Don't worry, madam," seeing this, Ah Qi, who was serving beside Xu Dingchun, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed respectfully and explained with a sincere look.
"Master always tucked the young lady into his broad, warm embrace, wrapped tightly in a small quilt, airtight. Only occasionally, and with great care, would he let her poke her face out to see the fresh scenery outside and breathe some fresh air. He was absolutely determined not to let the young lady catch even the slightest cold."
His tone was extremely sincere, but his eyes couldn't help but show some protection for his boss.
Ever since Xu Dingchun made great contributions and was promoted to an honorable position, most of his former brothers in the Iron Eagle Camp who had fought side by side with him in life and death received generous rewards and chose to return to the military camps they were more familiar with to continue serving.
Several small leaders who were quite trusted by Xu Dingchun, such as Ah Qi, Chong San, Kuai Jiao, etc., were promoted. Ah Qi was even awarded the rank of sixth-rank military officer, but he still chose to stay with Xu Dingchun and perform the duties of a personal guard. He was loyal and never wavered.
In the end, only a dozen old brothers who were truly trustworthy and willing to stay were left by Xu Dingchun's side.
Chongsan originally tried hard to stay, but he had amazing brute force and a quick mind. Xu Dingchun felt that it was a waste of his talent to keep him by his side. He would be able to display his skills and have a bright future if he went to the military camp, so he insisted on letting him go.
The situation was different for Kuaijiao. He was already quite old and had dedicated more than 20 years to the frontier amidst the wind, sand and swords. Xu Dingchun, grateful for his hard work, specifically asked to keep him so that he could live a stable life, reunite with his family more often and enjoy the happiness of family life.
Jing Chunxi was standing on the attic beside the courtyard, leaning on the railing and looking into the yard. He immediately saw the familiar figure at the gate - it was Chuntao, who was standing on tiptoe, half-hidden behind the courtyard wall covered with flower vines, looking out secretly and cautiously.
She looked like she wanted to see but didn't dare to go out and take a look. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and shyness. It was really funny, and it also revealed a hint of the cute girlish thoughts.
"If you want to see it, just go out and see it openly. Why are you being so sneaky?" She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and muttered softly.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu, who had just come in from outside with tea and snacks, heard all this.
Xiaoyu immediately spoke up, her voice loud and fast, with a hint of pride in her tone, as if she had discovered some incredible secret: "Princess, did you see that? The Crown Prince is playing in the garden again with Miss Zhaozhao in his arms! Sister Chuntao loves to see Uncle Qi's majestic and serious look on his face when he's on duty!"
"Stop talking nonsense here." Hongfen, who was standing by, heard Xiaoyu's words and tapped her head lightly, signaling her to be careful with her words.
Xiaoyu immediately stuck out her tongue playfully, but still whispered in a defiant tone, "I'm not talking nonsense... Every time Uncle Qi comes over to answer, Sister Chuntao always pays attention so much that sometimes she even slows down her work..."
Jing Chunxi couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, and shook his head: "Ah, look at my memory, I forgot about this matter."
Last year, she had been thinking about the lifelong events of these caring girls around her.
However, since returning to Beijing, happy events have occurred one after another in my family. There are so many things to be busy and worried about, like a flood of tides, that such an important matter has been delayed.
"Come on, let's not just stand here and watch. Let's go downstairs and see Zhao Zhao." She turned and walked briskly downstairs. Xiao Yu quickly put down her things and hurried after her. Hong Fen smiled and shook her head, but didn't follow.
"Mother was so worried that she had to come here in person."
Just as he stepped out of the courtyard, he saw his mother hurriedly approaching from the moon gate with a little maidservant. Her face bore the kind of care that only a mother can muster. Jing Chunxi hurriedly approached them, teasing them affectionately, a smile of warmth and understanding on his face.
"Ever since I had my younger brothers and sisters, my heart has been almost completely taken up by them. I've almost forgotten that I'm your daughter."
"You kid, you always talk nonsense and tease your mother." Jing Qiurong smiled and stretched out her hand, affectionately wrapping her arm around her daughter's arm. The mother and daughter naturally walked side by side in a warm and affectionate manner towards the Nine-Curve Bridge.
"You can handle everything on your own now, and you even help take care of your younger brothers and sisters. Why should I worry about you anymore? Now you're talking about my faults."
