He took a look at the strange man in front of him, who had an extraordinary demeanor and appearance, and asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

Wei Ting said politely, "My son just came to bother us and said that an uncle here gave them a rattle."

Yuan suddenly realized: "You are the father of the triplets?"

Wei Ting said: "That's right."

Ah Yuan said "oh" and looked at Wei Ting in confusion: "My young master gave it to me, what's wrong with that?"

Perhaps it was because he had encountered too many risks following Zhuge Qing, so he tended to think the worst of things. His first reaction was to think that something had gone wrong with the rattle and that the other person's father had come to question him.

Seeing him so alert, Wei Ting was not angry, and said in a normal tone: "I came to thank you. Here are two boxes of tea from my hometown."

"Thank you..."

A Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that he wasn't here to cause trouble.

It’s not that his young master is afraid of others, but he just doesn’t want to worry about such trivial matters.

A Yuan said, "My master has gone to bed. Please give me the tea leaves and I will convey your gratitude to him."

"Thank you." Wei Ting handed him two boxes of tea.

A Yuan saw Wei Ting off, closed the gate and went to the backyard.

The last ray of twilight spread across the sky, and the gray night fell like a curtain.

Zhuge Qing sat alone in a wheelchair, holding a colorful rattle in his hand.

Yuan bowed and said respectfully, "Sir, it's the father of those children. He came to thank you and sent two boxes of tea."

Zhuge Qing hummed calmly: "Go down."

A Yuan was not surprised by his master's reaction. In Xidu, countless dignitaries rushed to curry favor with him, and even several princes wanted to meet him.

The gentleman doesn't like to bother with those people. No matter who comes to his door, he won't see them.

Even the two boxes of tea should have been rejected today, but he accepted them on his own initiative because he saw that the master didn't dislike those little guys.

Fortunately, the gentleman was not angry.

"Don't do this next time." Zhuge Qing said.

Yuan's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Yes!"

Zhuge Qing stopped talking.

Yuan knew that it was time for him to step down.

These two boxes of tea...most likely, you won't drink them, sir.

He turned around holding the tea leaves, and after walking a few steps he looked back again.

Every September 18th, Mr. Wang would become exceptionally kind and tolerant, but also extremely lonely and desolate.

He sat alone in a wheelchair, as if abandoned by the past.

…

Capital city.

Today is Wei Xiyue's birthday, and the Wei family gathered in Old Lady Wei's yard to have dinner.

When seeing Wei Xiyue, Old Lady Wei thought of the three little tigers. On the day they left Western Jin Dynasty, Wei Ting sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he couldn't bear to leave the children, so he took Da Hu, Er Hu and Xiao Hu to travel and asked their family not to worry.

Old Lady Wei said jealously, "Humph, what do you mean he can't bear to part with her? I think it's his wife who can't bear to part with her. He forgets about his grandmother after having a wife!"

Jiang said, "Grandma, wait for Xiaoqi to come back, I will beat him up! No, let Third Sister-in-law beat him up! Third Sister-in-law has a harder fist!"

Old Lady Wei coughed lightly and said, "That's not necessary."

Li looked out the window at the night and asked, "Xiao Qi and the others have been gone for more than a month. I don't know if they have reached the Western Jin Dynasty yet."

"It should be here soon." Gui Bu said.

The West is not that far away. If he wants to go to the Death Warrior City where he has stayed for several years, he will have to walk for a few more days.

Sitting opposite him was Nalan Yun, dressed in white.

They were locked up in jail for reflection, and it was only for Wei Xiyue's birthday that the Wei family rescued them.

Wei Xiyue also went to Ling Yun's class with Dahu and others. In the eyes of the Wei family, he was also Wei Xiyue's master, so they invited him.

"Mr. Ling, what do you think?" Old Lady Wei asked Ling Yun.

Ling Yun nodded: "If everything goes well, it should have arrived two days ago."

"Ah, that's good." Old Lady Wei was relieved. She handed Ling Yun a plate of snacks and said, "Mr. Ling, have some osmanthus cake."

Gui Bu: ...That's my favorite food.

After dinner, the family went to Mrs. Wei's yard.

Mrs. Wei has the habit of planting trees for Wei Xiyue, one tree a year. This year, Wei Xiyue picked a red bean.

Old Lady Wei smiled and said, "Red beans grow in the south. They will sprout in spring. Good!"

Madam Wei and Wei Xiyue planted red beans in their own yard together.

Afterwards, Mrs. Wei took a group of people to the back to pick pears. When she returned to the yard, Wei Xiyue was squatting on the ground alone, holding a small shovel in her hand, and kept filling the soil.

Madam Wei walked over, squatted down and asked, "Xiyue, what are you doing?"

"Kind." Wei Xiyue said.

Madam Wei's gaze fell on the small hole she had filled with soil. There was neither a seed nor a sapling, but... a piece of clothing that Wei Qing had worn during his lifetime.

Madam Wei felt an indescribable pain in her heart: "What is Xiyue planting?"

"Plant Daddy." Wei Xiyue said, "Daddy will grow next year."

The Wei family never said anything like Wei Qing died in battle in front of the child. She was once scolded as a fatherless child. When she came back, they didn't ask her any questions because they thought she didn't understand.

Now it seems that she knows.

But she naively believed that dead people were like dead saplings and could be planted and grow again.

That would be great if that were true.

Wei Xiyue cultivated the soil, sprinkled water and applied fertilizer very seriously.

If Sixth Uncle’s arms can grow, then Daddy’s can grow too.

…

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao got up very early, and the three little ones also got up.

"So early?" Su Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.

The three little ones jumped out of bed: "Let's go play with uncle."

Su Xiaoxiao patted the heads of the three people and said, "Don't disturb them."

The three of them nodded and said, they will be very good!

Xiaohu went to get his suona, Su Xiaoxiao's eyebrows jumped and she held his little hand.

My dear son, we don’t need this.

Su Xiaoxiao asked Xing'er to follow them and bring the baby back quickly if they disturbed anyone.

Wei Ting sent Su Xiaoxiao to the Princess's Mansion.

Su Xiaoxiao was still dressed as Doctor Liang.

There were several more people coming to watch today, but Su Xiaoxiao didn't care and just locked them all outside.

Doctor Li fanned the flames and said, "Look at you, Judge Chu. He doesn't even take you, the judge, seriously!"

Judge Chu glanced at the eunuch who was standing aside in silence. He was the emperor's confidant, and his attitude largely represented the emperor's attitude.

Since His Majesty didn't say anything, what can these imperial doctors do to make a fuss?

He said calmly, "Doctor Li, the young prince is a patient and needs some quiet time. If you really can't keep your mouth shut, you might as well wait outside."

Doctor Li shut up.

After Su Xiaoxiao reduced the fever for the young prince today, the young prince finally stopped having a fever.

His drowsy condition was much better than before and he could swallow on his own.

Su Xiaoxiao used snow lotus as medicine and fed it to him.

At noon, his men woke up and, for the first time in many days, cried out that they were hungry.
