After a while, although he felt a little tired, Baoger's love for the wooden sword did not diminish in the slightest.
He carefully handed the sword back to Wen Zhu and asked her to keep it well for him.
Then, using his short, fat but powerful legs, Baoger staggered towards Hongsheng, trying to get close to his new friend again.
When Hong Sheng saw Bao Ge'er coming, he lifted him up without hesitation, let him sit on his shoulders, and took Bao Ge'er to the yard to pick some big red pomegranates to eat.
Throughout the whole process, Bao Ge'er laughed constantly.
Just at this moment, Fu Yu changed his clothes and walked out of the room, and just caught the silver bell-like laughter of the child in his ears.
"It seems that Hongsheng is quite good at coaxing children."
He commented with a smile.
When lunch was ready in the kitchen and sent over, Wen Zhu specially invited Hong Sheng, who was busy working, to come and have lunch together.
At this moment, Bao Ge'er was holding a large, bright red pomegranate tightly in his hand, and he shouted greedily, "I want to eat it!"
"Okay, I'll prepare food for you."
After saying that, Wen Zhu took the ripe fruit, washed it, and helped Baoger arrange a seat for him to sit down and peel the pomegranate seeds attentively.
The wet nurse who was watching carefully at the side was always paying attention to every step of the process, for fear that the baby would choke accidentally.
The transparent bright red pomegranate seeds are carefully placed one by one in an exquisite white porcelain bowl, which looks particularly tempting.
After finishing the meal, Baoger finally peeled all the pomegranates.
Wen Zhu personally squeezed these crystal clear pomegranate seeds into juice, and filtered it carefully before giving it to Baoger to drink.
After Bao Ge'er tried to drink two sips, he smacked his lips a few times and shouted with all his strength, "It's really delicious!"
Whenever Baoger said these words, he always used his greatest strength and nodded vigorously while speaking. His whole expression looked very funny and cute.
Baoger didn't want the wet nurse to feed him, so he picked up the white porcelain bowl filled with sweet juice from the table and drank it all in one breath.
After he finished drinking, Wen Zhu immediately took out a soft cloth to wipe away the remaining traces from the corners of his mouth.
Afterwards, the energetic Baoger couldn't wait to run to find his little friend Hongsheng to play together.
It was not until late at night, almost at midnight, that Fu Yu ordered Jian Ji to escort Bao Ge'er home; at the same time, Hong Sheng, who had just left the mansion, followed behind.
On Baoger's birthday, his second aunt and third aunt each sent a special gift to celebrate.
Knowing that her children should not be wronged, the Duke's wife decided to give the two of them valuable gifts in return just two days: each of them received a set of exquisitely made and intricately crafted jewelry.
Although the two sets of jewelry are extremely similar in design, there are subtle differences in the details.
For example, the handicrafts obtained by the second lady are inlaid with pure and bright blue gems; while the belongings of the third lady are dominated by purple diamonds emitting a mysterious glow.
About half an hour later, the Duke's wife announced that she would bring her two babies to the upcoming banquet at the Prince's Mansion.
In order to make the two children look their best, the wife reminded them to dress up beautifully before going out.
At this time, Juxiang, the maidservant who served Miss Yu San, quietly came to where Wen Zhu was and asked for help: "Dear Aunt Xu, may I trouble you for a moment? Our daughter would like to borrow the beautiful purple gemstone headdress you showed us before."
After Wen Zhu confirmed that she did have a complete set of such decorations, she immediately ordered Su Yue beside her to get them.
After receiving the items, Xiao Juxiang bowed deeply to express her gratitude. "I'm so grateful! I'm so grateful for your generous help. Actually, our set of purple stoneware has been borrowed by my second sister, so if I don't have something similar to wear on this outing, I'm afraid it would make the adults unhappy. That's why I came here specifically for help."
Hearing this, Wen Zhu frowned and said, "Why doesn't the Third Miss ask the Second Miss for it back? After all, it originally belonged to her."
"I'm mainly worried that making too much noise might cause Madam's displeasure."
Juxiang lowered her head and answered with a hint of timidity in her voice.
After some thought, Wen Zhu handed the jewelry to Juxiang and whispered, "What if the Second Miss snatches the jewelry away again? Right now, it's just a fight over some jewelry. If other conflicts arise in the future, wouldn't it be even more troublesome? I think the Third Miss should take this opportunity to expose the problem. This may attract the Madam's attention and solve the problem fundamentally."
After listening to Wen Zhu's words, Juxiang thought for a moment, and finally took the headdress back to the third young lady and let her decide what to do.
All of Fu Shulan's things were ready, except for the jewelry.
She waited anxiously, afraid of missing any important link.
At this time, Juxiang finally came back.
Juxiang gently placed a jewelry box on the table, opened the lid, and carefully showed it to Fu Shulan.
At the same time, she was filled with anger at the second young lady's domineering behavior, and couldn't help but tell her Wen Zhu's opinion in detail, hoping to get the support and recognition of her master.
After hearing this, Fu Shulan fell into deep thought, not knowing what to do for a moment.
But as time passed, she was forced to make a choice: she picked out some old jewelry from her box and put them on.
Although they are not as exquisite as the set that was stolen, it is also a silent protest.
After dressing herself up, she hurried to Xuanheyuan.
When Fu Shuyan had been waiting in the yard for a long time, she seemed a little surprised to see her sister coming, but she smiled at her politely.
The Duke's wife also looked up and found that her eldest daughter Fu Shuyan, who was standing not far away, was wearing a complete set of gorgeous sapphire jewelry, while her youngest daughter Fu Shulan was only wearing some obviously old and slightly shabby accessories, which were obviously some gifts she had given her before.
The two children stood there side by side. If an outsider who didn't know the truth saw this scene, he might think that the mother was deliberately favoring one daughter.
"The third sister rarely goes out. She finally agreed to attend the banquet today. How can we let her go out to meet guests in such a shabby appearance?"
Looking at the completely different images of her two daughters, the Duke's wife couldn't help but feel distressed and guilty.
