Chapter 196 I'm Too Ashamed to Face People
"I won't talk to you, an old woman. I'm looking at our little granddaughter. Oh, look at her. She's so cute and chubby. When she grows up, she will definitely be a beauty that all the young men in Beijing will dream of!"
"Humph, those good-for-nothings are not worthy of thinking about my granddaughter. My granddaughter is the darling of our general's mansion. None of those good-for-nothings in the capital's powerful families who can only fight cocks and crickets are worthy of her."
"Yes, what should we do? Other noble ladies can marry princes, but our granddaughter is the prince's sister, so she can't marry the prince."
“…”
Shen Yuanwei couldn't help laughing.
Do all families raising little girls have this worry? From the moment the girl is born, they start to fear that the girl will grow up and get married, afraid that no one will be worthy of their girl, or that their girl will marry the wrong man?
She shook her head, lifted the car curtain and whispered, "Dad, Mom, Yun'er and Yuan'er also want to see their younger brother and sister."
The old general and his wife hurriedly said, "Hurry up and let the two princes come up."
Shen Yuanwei bent down and carried the children one by one into the carriage.
Xie Congyuan was a lively and outgoing child. As soon as he entered, he immediately ran to the old general, leaned on the old general's arm and leaned his head to look at the swaddling clothes.
In the cradle, the lovely little sister has woken up. The more than two-month-old girl is turning her big dark eyes around, but she can't see anything clearly and can only look around blindly.
Xie Congyuan looked at his sister's rolling eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Her eyes are so big, big-eyed sister!"
The old general chuckled.
Xie Congyuan also giggled.
He leaned against the old general in a familiar manner, stretched out his little hand and was eager to try, "Old General, can I touch her?"
The old general said kindly, "Okay, but you have to be gentle. My sister is still young and her skin is tender. If you touch her too hard, she will feel uncomfortable and cry."
Xie Congyuan nodded obediently. He was very careful and touched his sister's face very gently with his little hand.
As soon as he touched it, the touch made him so happy that he immediately retracted his hand and bit his own fingers!
"Ahhh, her face is so soft and feels so comfortable to touch. Was I like her when I was a kid?"
He was very excited. "Is it the same? Is it the same? We were born from the same mother. I must have been the same as her when I was a child, right?"
The old general looked at the little boy leaning on his shoulder with a smile.
A voice in his heart said, you and your sister have more than just the same mother, you also have the same father. You are also a flesh and blood of the Xiao family, and you are the eldest grandson of the Xiao family.
At the side, Xie Chengyun was also looking down at the swaddling baby in the old lady's arms.
Looking at the beautiful little baby with rolling black eyes, he liked it very much and wanted to touch it, but he did not reach out his hand. He had always been more reserved than Xie Congyuan, and now that he was not familiar with everyone, he seemed restrained.
He stared at the baby intently, and suddenly, he saw a familiar little golden lock hanging around the baby's neck.
After a moment of hesitation, he reached out and touched the gold lock on his neck, then turned around and asked Shen Yuanwei outside.
"Are we wearing the same gold locks?"
Shen Yuanwei nodded gently.
"Yes, the gold locks for you and Yuan'er were made by my husband and I. Now the gold locks for your two younger brothers and sisters are also made by us. You four are all my children. I love you all the same."
Xie Chengyun blinked.
Then he raised the corners of his mouth.
It turned out that mother was not partial to his younger siblings. Even though he and Yuan'er did not grow up with her, she still loved him and Yuan'er.
He also thought that his mother would no longer want him and Yuan'er after she had brothers and sisters...
Shen Yuanwei saw that he wanted to touch the child, and encouraged him, "You can hold the little brother's hand. He can grab things now. If you give him your finger, he will hold your finger tightly."
Xie Chengyun was eager to try.
He looked down at his little brother who was standing still and not crying, mustered up his courage, rubbed his fingers on his clothes again and again, and then gently grasped his little brother's hand.
As soon as he grabbed it, his brother waved his little arm and tightly grasped his index finger, as if he was holding something precious, and he couldn't pull his finger back even if he wanted to.
Being held by those tiny fingers feels so strange, but so satisfying.
As soon as they met, he liked this younger brother who grabbed his finger.
I like it very much.
He couldn't help himself, and happily lowered his head and rubbed his cheek against his little brother's.
"Hello, I'm your brother, big brother."
The baby naturally didn't understand, but when he saw his brother leaning towards him, he thought his parents were kissing him again, and he immediately grinned, drooling from his laughter.
Xie Chengyun was stunned when he suddenly found saliva on his face.
How could my younger brother greet him with saliva? It's so dirty!
He was so disgusted that he wiped his face and backed away, complaining to the old lady, "He's so dirty! He drools! So much! It's even drooling down his chin and onto my clean face!"
The old lady couldn't stop laughing.
The old man wiped the corners of his grandson's mouth with a handkerchief and told Xie Chengyun with a smile, "Your Highness, children will drool. My brother is only two months old and he can't control himself. Not to mention drooling, he will poop in his swaddling clothes."
Xie Chengyun became more and more frightened and took two steps back, fearing that his brother would suddenly poop and stink him.
Seeing him like this, Shen Yuanwei couldn't help but chuckle, "Yun'er dislikes his brother, but you were the same when you were a child. You also went through the age of drooling and pooping all day long."
Xie Chengyun refused to admit it, "I didn't, I wouldn't, even if my son wet the bed, I wouldn't!"
Xie Congyuan was just about to kiss his sister when he suddenly heard his brother say that he had wet the bed. He was shocked.
He turned and looked at his brother in disbelief.
What a bad brother!
Betray him if you don't agree with him!
Bed-wetting is a very shameful thing. How can my brother say that he wet the bed in front of my mother? My mother will think he is a loser!
Xie Congyuan quickly glanced at Shen Yuanwei, then blushed and angrily exposed his brother's shortcomings, "You wet the bed! You peed! Mother said that we should sleep separately, but you didn't agree. You were afraid that if we slept separately, no one would be able to take the blame for you!"
Xie Congyuan continued to argue, "And the day before yesterday and the time many days before that, that was you who peed! After you woke up and found that you had wet the bed, you quietly crawled outside me, and you pushed me into the bed with force, and you slept in my place, and you made me sleep on your urine!"
Xie Chengyun never expected that his brother would betray him.
He was also shocked.
He stared at his brother in a daze. When he came to his senses, he saw the old general, his wife, and his mother who were trying not to laugh. He suddenly felt as if his face was burning.
The little child had a huge self-esteem. He felt too embarrassed to face anyone, so he immediately covered his face with his hands and wanted to jump off the carriage and run away.
Shen Yuanwei tried harder and harder to hold back her laughter.
You can't laugh out loud, otherwise this shy child will get angry and embarrassed.
She reached out and hugged her eldest son who had escaped into her arms. Regardless of his struggle, she pressed his cheek into her arms.
