Xu Yuxuan was still young, and walking half of the fifteen-minute journey was already the limit for him.
He needed someone to carry him later. In the past, it was Nanny Ji who carried him, but today he suddenly reached out his hands to Xu Yuejia for some reason.
Wen Ye watched the excitement from the side and urged: "My dear, Xuan'er wants you to hold her."
Xu Yuejia lowered her eyes and looked at Xu Yuxuan for a moment, then leaned over and picked him up.
Xu Yuxuan took advantage of the situation and hugged Xu Yuejia's neck tightly, and unskillfully pressed his face against hers for a while.
The father and son had never been so close before, Xu Yuejia was stunned.
Xu Yuxuan's squeezed face left Xu Yuejia. He turned to look at Wen Ye and said crisply, "Is father stupid?"
Wen Ye couldn't help laughing and said, "Your father is so happy. He likes being treated like this by Xuan'er the most."
Xu Yuejia glanced at her quietly.
Wen Ye pretended not to see it.
Xu Yuxuan nodded seriously and said, "The teacher said that father would like Xuan'er to be like this!"
The last word "like" was shouted so loudly that even the maids who were pruning branches not far away couldn't help but cast a glance over.
Wen Ye said "Oh", and she wondered how come she had changed so much after not seeing her for half a day, it turned out that Mr. Xu had "tricked" her.
She looked at Xu Yuejia, who was no longer so stiff, and wondered if he had ever regretted inviting Xu Baili to his house to be Xu Yuxuan's enlightenment teacher.
Xu Yuxuan didn't get a response from Xu Yuejia, so he kept asking, "Father? Father?"
The little face with red lips and white teeth came closer, with watery round eyes. I have never seen him so bold before.
Xu Yuejia reluctantly responded, "Yeah."
Xu Yuxuan smiled, revealing a row of fine teeth, and the little body sitting in his arms leaned closer to his arms.
Xu Yuejia turned around and said to Wen Ye, "Let's go."
When Xu Yuxuan heard this, he quickly turned to Wen Ye, who was half a step behind, and waved at her with his little hand.
Wen Ye saw this scene: "......"
Why is it like recruiting kittens and puppies?
What did Xu Baili teach him in such a short time?
A child's first day of school always leaves him with a warm memory.
So Wen Ye asked the kitchen to prepare some of Xu Yuxuan's favorite dishes, so that she could be a good mother for a day when she had nothing to do.
Xu Yuxuan was now able to hold a spoon by himself and no longer needed Nanny Ji to feed him. He just asked her to help him break the vegetables that were difficult to pick up into small pieces, and then he would scoop them up and eat them himself.
Sitting on the special chair, he took bite after bite, his cheeks bulging with meat in his mouth.
She was so well-behaved that Nanny Ji's heart melted just watching her.
My eyes couldn't help but move to the side again.
Wen Ye has never been a person who would compromise himself. There is one table of food, three different styles, and everyone eats their own food.
She likes spicy food, Xu Yuxuan prefers sweet food, and Xu Yuejia likes light food.
The spicy chicken made with Lingcheng's specialty peppers was better than any she had eaten before. Wen Ye accidentally ate a dried pepper with seeds, which was so spicy that it went all the way to her throat.
She endured the spiciness and picked up a piece of chicken for Xu Yuejia. "My dear, you seem to have lost a lot of weight recently. I guess you are tired from the heavy workload. Have a piece of spicy chicken. It goes well with rice."
Xu Yuejia didn't notice anything unusual about her and thought she had seen Nanny Ji here and started over again.
He glanced at the chicken cubes on the plate, picked up some with chopsticks and ate them. After chewing them twice, he felt something was wrong.
At this time, Wen Ye had already looked away and was drinking soup with his head down.
Xu Yuejia stared at her for a moment, then swallowed it without changing his expression.
Before Wen Ye could react, he gave her a piece of bitter melon and said, "Eating too much spicy food can easily cause internal heat. Bitter melon can clear away heat and eliminate internal heat."
I can eat anything edible, except bitter gourd.
She immediately handed the bitter melon to Xu Yuxuan and said, "It's hard to digest if you eat too many glutinous rice dumplings. Come, try the bitter melon your father picked for you."
Xu Yuxuan scooped the food into his mouth obediently without knowing what was going on. As soon as he chewed it, his eyebrows immediately wrinkled into a smaller "川" character.
He spit out the bitter gourd in his mouth and shouted: "Water~water~"
Wen Ye fed him a mouthful of soup, and Xu Yuxuan took a big sip and finally swallowed the strange taste.
Then he started yelling: "Xuan'er, don't eat anymore~"
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he looked at Xu Yuejia who was sitting across from him and said, "Father, eat."
Wen Ye nodded in agreement: "Your father does like it."
Xu Yuxuan looked determined, and said, "The teacher said that we should be filial and obedient!"
So father eats!
Xu Yuejia: "......"
Wen Ye raised her eyebrows, indeed he was filial.
And everything fell into Nanny Ji's eyes. They cared about each other and were such a harmonious family of three.
Xu Yuxuan started his enlightenment career smoothly, but the warm moments were always short-lived. On the first day, Wen Ye and Xu Yuejia came to pick him up after school, on the second day it was Lu, and on the third day there was Duke Xu.
After that, only Nanny Ji was left.
Xu Yuxuan was still carrying the school bag with the little tiger head embroidered on it. Rendong was leading him, and on the other side was Nanny Ji.
He asked Aunt Ji, "Where is mother?"
Nanny Ji patiently replied, "Someone from the Second Madam's family is here, and the Second Madam is entertaining them in the West Courtyard, so she can't come to pick up the young master from school."
Xu Yuxuan was puzzled: "Who is it?"
Nanny Ji smiled lovingly and said, "There is Xuan'er's aunt, little cousin, and Xuan'er's aunt."
Xu Yuxuan's eyes widened: "Aunt?!"
I seemed to have heard it somewhere before, and my heart suddenly started to panic.
When Yang arrived at the Duke's Mansion, she naturally went to the main courtyard to meet Lu first.
Lu greeted them and had a brief and polite chat, then asked Qingxue to lead the way and take Yang and the other two to the west courtyard to sit down first.
As soon as Yang entered the west courtyard, she saw two swings of different sizes and shapes under the corridor. Wen Ye, who had received the news in advance, came out of the house to greet her.
She said with a smile: "Sister-in-law."
When Yang saw the visitor, her face was rosy and her eyes were carefree, she immediately knew what kind of life Wen Ye was leading in the Duke's Mansion.
She also smiled and said, "Mother misses you and wanted to come visit you in person, but there are so many things to do in the mansion, so mother had to send me to come and see you on her behalf."
After saying this, she lowered her eyes and glanced at the two children beside her and said, "It just so happens that the school in the mansion is closed for a day today, so I brought them here as well."
Wen Ye called out "Cheng Ge'er," and Cheng Ge'er politely replied, "Fourth Aunt."
He turned his gaze to Wen Ran beside him, and the two sisters looked at each other without saying a word.
Wen Ye looked at Yang again and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go inside and talk."
Yang said "eh".
When Xu Yuxuan returned to the West Courtyard after school, Wen Ye was chatting with Yang about his second sister-in-law Liu who was about to give birth.
There were a few unfamiliar people in the room, and Xu Yuxuan paused as he rushed into the main hall.
Yang stopped talking and noticed the child at the door first. She smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. Xuan seems to have grown a lot taller."
Wen Ye waved to Xu Yuxuan: "Come here."
Xu Yuxuan's eyes were full of curiosity, and he walked up to Wen Ye.
Wen Ye said: "This is your aunt."
After attending school, he was different. His reaction was much faster. Xu Yuxuan immediately bowed to Yang and said, "Xuan'er, meet your aunt~"
Yang nodded with a smile and said, "Looks really well behaved."
Xu Yuxuan pursed her lips and restrained her smile.
Wen Ye ignored his smug expression. With Xu Baili's instruction, this kid would definitely be a sweet-mouthed but black sesame-filled person in the future. It's just that he is still young now and doesn't know how to hide himself.
"And your cousin Cheng."
The two children, one big and one small, greeted each other.
"cousin!"
"Cousin."
Wen Ye sometimes really likes to see children looking serious. Cheng'er looks delicate and just like big brother Wen. He behaves very well and is well behaved.
Xu Yuxuan has red lips, white teeth and a round face. It can’t be said that he looks like just one person, but he has a bit of each of them.
His eyes kept blinking, but they weren't moving around randomly.
The first time he visited, Wen Cheng also prepared a small gift, a bookmark he made himself, which he took out after the reception.
"Cousin, this is for you."
"Thank you, cousin~" Xu Yuxuan was quite receptive to bookmarks. He rummaged through his book bag, which he hadn't taken out yet, and took out a bamboo dragonfly, handing it to Wen Cheng: "Xuan'er is giving this to my cousin as a gift."
Wen Cheng also played with bamboo dragonflies when he was younger, but he has been enlightened for almost a year, and most of his childhood toys have been given to his younger brother Wen Che.
But since this is a gift from his little cousin, he should accept it.
Wen Cheng took the bamboo dragonfly and said, "Thank you, cousin. I like it very much."
Xu Yuxuan touched the simple yet exquisite bookmark and said earnestly, "Xuan'er likes this one, too!"
Seeing this, Yang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that they would get along so well."
Wen Ye: "Brother Cheng has grown up."
Without waiting for the two boys to say anything else, Wen Ye continued: "Xuan'er, there is also your aunt."
Wen Ran was a little nervous. This was her first time to go out to visit someone. Even though she was visiting her sister's husband's family, she was still a little nervous.
She also brought a gift.
There was only one character different from Cheng Ge'er's bookmark. When she saw that her nephew liked the gift Cheng Ge'er gave her, she suddenly felt less nervous.
Last time, I was in a hurry to pack and left a lot of books behind. Wen Ran was originally worried that if I gave the same gift twice, my nephew would not like it.
Xu Yuxuan's eyes fell on Wen Ran, and his voice suddenly became much softer: "Aunt?"
Wen Ran said "eh" in a rather unskilled way, then took out three annotated enlightenment books that she had been holding in her arms for a long time and said, "My little nephew, this is a gift from your aunt."
Xu Yuxuan took a half step back reflexively.
His reaction was not at all as enthusiastic as when Wen Cheng gave him the bookmark.
Wen Ran felt a little disappointed when she saw this, but the footers of many of her books were damaged, and they were not as exquisite as the bookmark that Cheng Ge'er had given her.
It seems normal that my nephew doesn’t like it.
Just like she liked beautiful things when she was a child.
Wen Ye asked Nanny Ji to take the book for Xu Yuxuan, and then said, "Little sister, come to Fourth Sister."
Wenran walked over.
Wen Ye touched the two flower buds on her head and said, "Your little nephew likes it."
Wen Ran's almond eyes lit up: "Really?"
"If you don't believe me, look." Wen Ye signaled her with his eyes.
Wen Ran looked over in confusion.
Then Xu Yuxuan started rummaging in his school bag again.
Xu Yuxuan has already remembered, aunt, it was the bad aunt.
Finally, he found what he wanted in his school bag. Xu Yuxuan turned around and handed the thing over: "Here!"
It's a rabbit hair brush.
Wen Ran took it blankly.
Xu Yuxuan became happy instantly. He wouldn't have to feel sore hands tomorrow.
In Wen Ran's heart, this rabbit-hair brush means much more than a bamboo dragonfly.
So the little nephew really liked the enlightenment book she gave him. He held the small rabbit-hair brush tightly in his hand and smiled: "Thank you, Xuan'er."
Wen Ye didn't expose the little brat's intention of giving gifts in front of everyone, thinking that after giving the pen away, he wouldn't have to practice pen-holding posture in the future?
What a nice thought.
