Chapter 426 Xiaobao, come home with your mother!
The swaddling clothes were about to fall to the ground.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival and almost noon, and the streets were busy with people and cars. If the baby fell to the ground, there was any danger of being run over by a carriage.
The lady's screams became even more shrill, and her eyes were shattered.
A sky-blue shadow flashed across the street, picked up the swaddling clothes steadily in its hand, and did not show any surprise when he saw what was wrapped in the swaddling clothes.
As early as when the lady got off the carriage, she could see clearly that the baby in the cradle was a rag doll.
Tianbao handed the swaddling clothes to the lady who rushed over, and walked back to the street without saying much.
It was a false alarm. The lady hugged the baby tightly and kept muttering to herself to comfort him. The maid, with a pale face, helped her to a less crowded place on the street and apologized to her master repeatedly.
The old man and Bai Xiaofeng and the others withdrew their gazes and continued chatting and laughing, all with no strange expressions on their faces.
"Grandpa Du, these are your favorite salty moon dumplings, stuffed with ham and barbecued pork! This one has five-nut filling, and the rest are sweet. The flavors are written on the lid." Bai Yu successfully bought the moon dumplings and walked back. His lunch box was stacked with more than ten or twenty moon dumplings, so full that he could barely see the road with his peach blossom eyes. "Tsk, stop chatting, come over and give me a hand! Be careful, if the young master drops it, you won't get to taste it!"
This last sentence finally aroused everyone's conscience. Everyone got a box and couldn't wait to taste it, which also relieved Bai Yu's burden.
There were still more than a dozen food boxes left in his arms, with all kinds of flavors. Bai Yu walked over to Tian Bao and gave her half of them. He tilted his head and whispered, "Put these away for later. They're all souvenirs. When we get back to Tubei Village, we'll take them out and let the elders at home, Master and his wife, taste the flavor of Xiling Yuetuan."
Tian Bao glanced at him, and the corners of her lips curved up, "Yeah."
"I just heard some noise behind me, what happened?"
"A baby almost fell, and I helped him."
"That little baby is blessed. Do you want lotus seed paste or red bean paste? Try both. Take a small bite of each flavor, but don't eat too much, or you'll feel full before you finish."
"No need to be so wasteful."
"I can afford to waste it. The young master has money."
The two men chatted in low voices for a few words, while their companions around them were wolfing down their food and had no time to pay attention to them.
That unusually strong gaze lingered on him for so long that Bai Yu couldn't pretend to be unaware. He raised his eyes indifferently and glanced over, only to meet the graceful lady across the street.
Their eyes met, and the lady's eyes suddenly turned red.
Tears quickly gathered in my eyes, ready to burst out at any moment.
She stared at the young man who was looking at her indifferently, her lips trembling violently, and walked towards him step by step like a madman, pushing away all the passers-by who blocked her way, and she didn't even care about the swaddling clothes that fell to the ground in her arms, which were like a treasure to her.
He stumbled and struggled to get closer to the young man.
"Master? Master?!" The maid was so frightened that she picked up the swaddling clothes and followed the lady, shouting non-stop, trying to bring her back to her senses.
Bai Yu noticed these strange things and frowned.
Tianbao stood quietly beside him, twisting the unfinished moon ball, looking at the woman who had lost her composure, frowning, with confusion and thought in her eyes.
The quarrels between the old man, the boy and the girl died down. Du Buqin subconsciously moved closer to Bai Xiaofeng and asked, "Xiaofeng, what's going on?"
Bai Xiaofeng rarely argued with him and whispered, "Let's see."
"Okay, if anything happens, you have to take action immediately. We are the elders."
"Tsk, so long-winded."
“Hmph.”
A bluestone street can accommodate five carriages running side by side.
The lady walked from one side to the other, as if she had used up most of her life's strength. When she arrived in front of the young man, she was already out of breath, and tears finally fell from her eyes.
Her vision was hazy and she could not see the young man's face clearly. She hurriedly wiped her tears, but she did not dare to blink, for fear that if she blinked, everything she saw would disappear, just like a beautiful dream, and everything would be gone when she woke up.
Bai Yu frowned even more tightly, "You——"
"Xiao, Xiaobao, I'm your mother, I'm your dear mother," the noble lady said, her hands shaking as she tentatively touched the young man's sleeves. Then she clenched them tightly, tightly grasping them. The real touch made her grin with silent ecstasy, and the tears that had not been wiped away fell even more violently. "Xiaobao, why are you so naughty? You've been playing hide-and-seek with me for a long time. I've been looking for you for a long, long time! You are such a naughty boy! Today is a festival! Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion! You don't even know to accompany me for a reunion dinner! Let's go home. I'll ask the chef to make your favorite dish! Go, go home, Xiaobao, go home, Xiaobao...!"
"Princess!" The maid saw the princess randomly grabbing people on the street to recognize her as her relative and became anxious. If the second princess and the emperor knew about this, they would definitely punish her for not taking good care of her. "Princess, you recognized the wrong person. This person is not the prince! Look, the prince is right here, the one you hold every day--"
The maid handed the swaddling clothes to the lady, hoping to awaken her memory.
The swaddling clothes were brushed aside by the woman, and the eldest princess's face darkened instantly. The royal majesty made people dare not look at her. "Ridiculous! Do you think my eyes are blurry and my mind is muddled? How could I not recognize my own child! Xiaobao looks exactly like his grandmother! Get out of the way! I want to take Xiaobao home for dinner!"
Being scolded harshly, the maid had no courage to say anything more and could only lower her head and step aside.
The noise had already attracted the attention of pedestrians and tourists nearby. People who stopped to watch had piled up in three layers, whispering to each other.
The woman didn't take any of this to heart. Her eyes were full of her little treasure. She happily pulled the young man out and said, "Little treasure, let's go home!"
Bai Yu stood there motionless, his eyes fixed on the swaddled doll. He then turned to look at the woman in front of him, who spoke deliberately fluently, but whose eyes were filled with caution and fear. He pursed his lips and tried to pull his hand away. "Madam, you've got the wrong person. I'm not Xiaobao. My last name is Bai, my name is Yu, and I have parents."
How could the woman let him escape? She noticed he was about to pull his hand back, so she held on tighter, refusing to let go. "Okay, you're Bai Yu, you're Bai Yu... you're mad at me... what's up? Let's go home and talk about it, okay? I miss you so much, Xiaobao, come home, Xiaobao..."
"You—" Bai Yu was about to say something, but Tian Bao touched his arm. After a moment of silence, he changed his words, "Okay, let's go home."
Hearing this, the woman trembled with excitement, her silver hair swaying at her temples. "All right! Go home! Are these my little treasure's friends? I just saw you buying moon cakes together to eat. Come to my house and be my guests! Auntie will treat you well!"
Bai Xiaofeng suppressed the deep thought in his eyes, waved his folding fan twice, and smiled, "Madam, it would be disrespectful for us to refuse such a kind invitation."
Although Du Buqin didn't see any way, he didn't reject the proposal at all.
Just now, she called the eldest princess in a maid-like manner.
The woman in front of me is a princess!
Then they will go to the princess's mansion later.
There must be a lot of good stuff...
