Chapter 565: Fourth Master...how come he is an orphan and a widow?
The Fourth Master paused, frowned subconsciously, and turned around to look.
Wen Jiu was holding a handkerchief, pointing at him with trembling fingers: "What are you going to do? Do you really have someone else outside?"
Seeing Wen Jiu's expression, the Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Don't you mind?"
Wen Jiu curled his lips and said, "You are so heartless, Yinzhen! Tell me, are there any women out there as pretty as me? What kind of little devil has seduced you?"
Wenjiu gritted his teeth and simply pinched his thigh hard, tears instantly welling up in his eyes.
The Fourth Master met her tears-filled eyes and, almost as a reflex, turned back to her. "Talk to me, why are you still crying? There's no such thing as a little devil. How can anyone compare to your looks?"
The Fourth Master was a little amused. Doesn't this little girl ever look in the mirror? How could anyone compare to her? She calls others goblins, but she's the real deal, right?
Wen Jiu pushed his hand away directly: "Don't touch me, go find your little goblin outside! Never come back! Anyway, you don't like me and my sons. I said a lot of nice things, but you still want to leave, so I might as well fulfill your wish!"
Wen Jiu said this, then turned around and lay down beside his children: "Wow, my children, your poor mother hasn't even finished her confinement yet, and your father has found a new lover outside. What will happen to us orphans and widows in the future? From now on, we can only live frugally and tighten our stomachs to make ends meet. Your father is going to give all the gold, silver and jewelry to those little goblins outside!"
"How dare you." The Fourth Master felt something was wrong the more he listened. He rubbed his forehead and said, "How come you're an orphan and a widow? I'm not even dead yet!"
After thinking for a while, he said, "Also, when did I give all the gold, silver and jewelry to others? I don't even know them!" It turned out that those words just now were just to keep this little girl. What can't be said directly?
"real?"
Wenjiu stared at the Fourth Master with his big watery eyes.
The Fourth Master immediately nodded seriously: "Really, really! If I lied to you, I would be struck by lightning."
[Ding, I received 3 hearts from the Fourth Master to upgrade.]
Wenjiu blinked twice and glanced at the heart shape on the Fourth Master's head, which was obviously a bit darker than before. He couldn't help but secretly complain, thinking that he was falling for it.
He immediately said, "Okay, if I go out with Jiu'er to look for someone else in the future, I will be struck by lightning."
The Fourth Master was at a loss for words. "...What kind of talk are you talking about? I already have a wife and concubines at home, why would I need to go out and look for her? I promise you, if I really go out and look for her, I'll be struck by lightning, right?"
This little girl was quite stupid. If he really wanted to go out and find someone else, how could she stop him? If he liked someone, why not just bring her into the house? Could he just say "God bless you" and it would come true? What a fool.
“Hehehe~”
As the two were talking, laughter was suddenly heard.
Almost subconsciously, Wen Jiu and Si Ye both lowered their heads and looked towards their son.
His eldest son was sucking his fingers at the moment, staring at the Fourth Master with his dark little eyes, and squeezed out two laughs.
Wen Jiu: "...Master, look, the oath you made made the children laugh."
Wen Jiu couldn't help but poke Da Bao's cheek and said, "You little bastard, your mother is crying, but you are laughing instead."
"Hehe~" The children usually like Wenjiu the most. Whenever Wenjiu comes near, they will reach out to grab her as soon as they see her. Now, when Dabao sees Wenjiu rubbing her face, she laughs even more happily.
The child's smile was so healing that Wen Jiu couldn't help but curl his lips and say, "He's a good coaxer, better than your father."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but pick up his son.
When the Fourth Master heard this, he felt something was amiss. He frowned and took the child from him, saying, "Your hands shouldn't be strained. You're still in confinement after childbirth. Why are you so careless?"
After muttering this, he continued, "How can I be inferior to him? I'm such a grown man, how can I be inferior to a baby like him?"
Wenjiu blinked twice. To be honest, he was not as good as her son.
The son smiled as soon as he saw her. When he saw that she was unhappy, he still smiled at her and comforted her.
The Fourth Master, on the other hand, always keeps a straight face and requires me to coax him.
But he certainly wouldn't say that right then. Wen Jiu only said, "Master, how can they be the same? Master is Jiu'er's master, and the treasures are Jiu'er's treasures."
After hearing this, the Fourth Master nodded in satisfaction.
But then I felt something was wrong. She seemed to have said something, but why did it seem like she didn't say anything?
"Wow~"
So before I could figure it out, Dabao in my arms suddenly started howling at the top of his lungs, his little hands straining to get the warm wine.
The Fourth Master frowned, glanced at his son, put him down, quickly unwrapped the quilt to take a look, and then frowned: "The diaper is clean."
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Master, let me hold you for a while."
Could this gentleman really not see that the child started crying after he took him over? He felt a little amused and wanted to pick up the child.
The Fourth Master frowned and dodged: "He's too heavy."
However, as Wenjiu approached, Dabao struggled to touch her hair, and her crying stopped abruptly.
The little guy held back his tears and forced a giggle for Wenjiu.
Fourth Master: “…”
This brat, does he even know who changes his diaper every day? He used to grin when he was in my arms, but now he cries when he's next to me?
Wen Jiu saw his son in this state, and his heart almost melted: "Grandpa, let me hold you, it won't be tiring."
"No," the Fourth Master frowned and said, "Dabao, don't pull your mother's hair."
As he spoke, he pushed the child's hand back.
Wen Jiu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Master, he was just touching me, he didn't use any strength."
As he spoke, he took advantage of the Fourth Master's inattention and directly picked up his son and took him to lie down on the bed. He also stuffed a bunch of hair into his hand and let him play with it.
Speaking of which, the children are particularly fond of warm wine.
The Fourth Master almost forbade Wenjiu from holding the baby, as the Imperial Physician warned that if her hands and feet were tired at this age, it would lead to future health problems. Those around her watched her even more closely, saying that even after the baby was a month old, the number of times she had held him could be counted on one hand.
The little ones are not close to their wet nurses. There are many wet nurses for them, and each of them has eight wet nurses, which is barely enough to feed them. They are also unfamiliar with each other.
Wenjiu had originally been wary of the children being too close to her, so she kept them by her side during the day to educate them. There was even a time when she wanted to breastfeed them herself. However, her children's appetites were so voracious that even if Wenjiu was in better shape than an average person, she couldn't possibly feed four. So, to treat them all equally, she simply stopped breastfeeding them.
She didn't feed them herself, but that didn't stop the children from being particularly attached to her. Sometimes, as soon as she reached out to warm the wine, the awake children would reach out to grab her.
With so many children, her love was inevitably dispersed a lot. Other children could be held in their mothers' arms and coaxed, but her own son was rarely held by his biological mother.
Just like Dabao, he can smile happily even when pinching a strand of his hair.
I couldn't help but kiss the child on the cheek, and sure enough, Dabao giggled again.
Wen Jiu held his little hand and kissed each of his sons on the face. He thought to himself, tomorrow he will be out of confinement, and no one will come to take care of him or her when he holds the baby.
The third and fourth babies were still asleep, but the second baby had opened his eyes, staring at his legs happily, and stretched out his little hands to grab the warm wine.
Wenjiu took their hands and moved closer to them, letting them touch his hair.
The Fourth Master looked at the heartwarming scene in front of him and couldn't smile at all. Jiu'er had been looking at these brats for a quarter of an hour, without even looking at him...
