After the family of three had afternoon tea, Wen Ye asked Taozhi and Yunzhi to bring in the two piles of books they had brought back, and then said to Xu Yuxuan, "Go and feel them, they are all yours."
Xu Yuxuan's eyes widened, and he subconsciously went over and touched it as Wen Ye said.
His voice trembled for a moment, and he turned his head and shouted, "Mother, it's so heavy~"
Wen Ye: "...did you find it out?"
His expression was somewhat indescribable.
Xu Yuxuan nodded with a heavy head: "Hmm!"
A very firm tone.
Wen Ye immediately said: "Then you should study one book at a time, and slowly it will not be too heavy."
Xu Yuxuan looked at the two piles of books, then turned back to look at Xu Yuejia.
The former never reduced one book, while the latter calmly lowered his eyes and did not look at him.
Xu Yuxuan's eyebrows were almost wrinkled into a morning glory.
Time flies.
The weather was getting hotter.
On this day, Wen Ye woke up from her afternoon nap, and Tao Zhi pushed the door open and walked in, her eyes showing some joy as she said, "Madam, there's a letter from the Wen Mansion saying that the second young master's wife has given birth."
Wen Ye, who was still a little sleepy, suddenly woke up and asked hurriedly: "It's born so soon? Is it a boy or a girl?"
Taozhi said happily: "The informant said it was the girl."
"That's my little niece." Wen Ye said, "Go and tell Yunzhi to give her a small silver lock for the third-day bathing ceremony."
Taozhi replied, "Yes, ma'am."
The baby is born, and the full-month banquet will be soon.
Being able to go back to see her aunt and younger sister again, Wen Ye was in a very bright mood the whole day.
The people from the Wen Mansion came to the Duke's Mansion to report the news, and naturally Lu, who was in the main courtyard, soon found out. At this moment, she was reading a letter from her eldest son, who had been sent home a few days ago.
The situation has been better in the past month, with one letter sent every seven or eight days. Before, it was one letter every three to five days.
At first, she could still reply with a message of one or two pages, but now, the Lu family just approves the letter as an account book.
After reading it, draw a red circle and write a few words of care and encouragement, and you’re done.
After listening to Nanny Xian's report, Lu put down the paper covered with words and said, "Girl, girl is good."
Lu personally put the letter away, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Madam, go get a small golden pig locket, and when the baby is one month old, let Ye'er take it with me."
Nanny Xian bowed her head and agreed.
After the third-day bathing ceremony, Wen Ye had nothing to do, so he strolled to the west courtyard. Xu Yuxuan had just woken up, his hair was loose, and a few messy strands of hair had fallen out in front of his forehead. When he touched it, he found that it was still a little damp.
I don't know if it was because of sweat or because I dreamed of something delicious, but my mouth was covered with saliva.
Wen Ye had rarely come to the side courtyard, so Xu Yuxuan was somewhat surprised to see her. His eyes immediately brightened up a lot, and he shouted, "Mother!"
Nanny Ji was helping him put on a royal blue robe, which made his lips and teeth look even redder.
Xu Yuxuan was about to move under the bed with his short legs, but Wen Ye stopped him and said in a slightly sharp voice, "Stand still, Nanny Ji is helping you put on your clothes."
Then Xu Yuxuan stood obediently on the bed without moving, very contented.
Wen Ye had discovered this kid before. He doesn't bear grudges. The more mean you are to him, the more he will listen to what you say.
He is still very good at coaxing people, and seems to know what kind of person he is that makes people like him the most.
After standing properly, he immediately showed a well-behaved smile to Nanny Ji and called affectionately: "Nanny~"
Nanny Ji felt warm in her heart, and she said more indulgently, "Young Master, if you want to jump, just jump. Nanny can catch you."
If the Duke's wife was here, Nanny Ji would never dare to say such words, but since it was the Second Lady who came, Nanny Ji's sense of propriety moved a little further away.
Perhaps he understood, because Wen Ye saw the smug look that Xu Yuxuan gave him.
Nanny Ji helped Xu Yuxuan put on his outer robe and boots, and he finally got down from the ground. Rendong came in with a copper basin filled with warm water and wiped Xu Yuxuan's face and hands.
After all this was done, Wen Ye told Xu Yuxuan the good news: "Xuan'er, you have a cousin now, did you know?"
Xuan Er heard the voice, raised her head and looked at her, her little face was confused and asked, "Cousin?"
Wen Ye explained to him: "Do you still remember your cousin Cheng?"
Xu Yuxuan nodded, "I remember, Xuan'er bookmark, it was given to me by my cousin."
Wen Ye continued, "My cousin is your cousin Cheng's sister."
Xu Yuxuan seemed to be thinking, and then suddenly asked: "Does my cousin want to study?"
Wen Ye smiled and said, "Not at the moment."
Reading makes one wise. Xu Yuxuan was even more puzzled: "Why not use it? Xuan'er wants it all."
Wen Ye said: "Because your cousin is still young."
Xu Yuxuan whispered: "Xuan'er is also young~"
Wen Ye didn't hear clearly, but he said seriously, "You have to study."
After saying this, he grabbed Wen Ye's sleeve and said, "Xuan'er wants to give his cousin a gift!"
Wen Ye raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What do you want to give?"
Xu Yuxuan almost smiled, but he held his mouth tightly before he said, "Book!"
Wen Ye: “…”
You have learned a lot.
Xu Yuxuan covered his mouth and laughed secretly: Hehe, I sent it out~
On the day when Liu's daughter turned one month old, Wen Ye took the father and son to the Wen family.
As the first girl of this generation in the Wen family, Shen prepared a grand and lively full-month banquet for her granddaughter Wen Siying.
There are many guests today. After all, Wen Ye is a married girl in the Wen family. Shen just said a few simple words of greeting and let her go around by herself. As long as she doesn't cause trouble, she can go wherever she wants.
Wen Ye and Xu Yuejia separated in the front hall. He went to where the men were, while she prepared to go to Liu's yard to see the children.
As for Xu Yuxuan, Wen Ye asked him what he thought. He said that he wanted to go see his cousin, but in fact, Wen Ye guessed that he just wanted to give away the two books in his hand as soon as possible.
If you want to know why there are only two books, you should ask him himself. He is small and weak, so there is nothing he can do. He can only carry two books.
Before leaving, Wen Ye saw with her own eyes Xu Yuxuan picking out two thick books from the bookcase. With her and Xu Yuejia's permission, even Nanny Ji didn't dare to help him get the books, so he could only pick two books and carry them.
Just like that, Wen Ye led Xu Yuxuan to the courtyard where Liu lived.
This place was even more lively. In addition to people from Liu's family, eldest sister-in-law Yang and several other married girls from the Wen family were also here.
Wen Ye was the last to arrive.
After giving the gifts to the child and Liu, Wen Ye walked over and looked at the child.
Liu's birth was somewhat difficult, so Shen asked her to take a full two-month confinement. The baby had just finished feeding and was falling asleep.
Wen Ye took a careful look and recalled that the child looked similar to the Wen child she had seen before.
But she still praised her: "She is so beautiful, she really looks like my second sister-in-law."
Who wouldn't like their child to be praised? Liu's face, which hadn't fully recovered yet, had a hint of spirit as she said, "Your second brother said he looks like him."
Although Liu didn't care whether the first child was a son or a concubine, she was afraid that her mother-in-law and husband would care. When she learned that it was a concubine, she was happy but couldn't help but worry.
She was afraid that her mother-in-law and husband would be disappointed, but fortunately, what she worried about did not happen. Her mother-in-law liked Siying very much, and so did her husband.
Wen Ye did not respond to this. She felt that this might be the filter of Wen Erge's biological father.
At this time, Xu Yuxuan came over with a book in her arms and said, "This is a gift from Xuan'er to my cousin."
Liu was surprised, looked up at Wen Ye, and asked, "What's this, Xuan'er?"
Wen Ye explained for the child, "After he knew he had a little cousin, he personally picked out two books and said they were for Siying as a full-month gift."
Liu smiled. As a mother, her eyes would always be much gentler and kinder when she looked at her child. She reached out and touched Xu Yuxuan's head and said, "Then your aunt will thank Xuan'er on behalf of your cousin Siying."
After successfully delivering the book, Xu Yuxuan looked relieved and said, "You're welcome. Xuan'er should take it!"
Yang watched from the side and said, "Xuan'er looks more lively than the last time I saw him."
Wen Ye: "After all, it took a while for me to be enlightened."
After meeting Liu and his little niece, Wen Ye did not disturb them too much. He took Xu Yuxuan out of the inner room, leaving the space for Liu and her family.
Inside the hall, several people who had seen the child before her were sitting here, drinking tea and chatting.
There weren't any major conflicts among the Wen family's children. Even Wen Hui, who had always been unfriendly to others, seemed much more obedient today.
Wen Yuwan brought her daughter Lin Shuer over, and so did Wen Lan. The two girls were a little different in age, but they could still play together.
Standing next to Wen Hui is her eldest son, Du Mingyou.
Wen Ran was still in the palace, and Wen Ye estimated that he would have to wait until the banquet started before he could see her.
Xu Yuxuan was only familiar with Wen Cheng, and Yang repeatedly told Wen Cheng to take care of several younger brothers.
Although Wen Cheng is only six years old, he is much more stable than other children of the same age. There are many people in the hall, so he plans to take his younger brothers to play in the yard.
There were a bunch of maids watching over the yard, so everyone present felt relieved.
Xu Yuxuan is the youngest of the children, and Wen Cheng takes the best care of him. Du Mingyou tried to act mature and said, "Why don't we play a guessing game?"
Wen Cheng frowned slightly: "Che'er and Xuan'er are too young to guess."
Wen Che, who was only half a year older than Xu Yuxuan, retorted in a childish voice: "Che'er knows!"
Xu Yuxuan followed suit: "Xuan'er can do it too!"
Du Mingyou simply thought that if they said they could, they really could, so he said, "Then I'll ask the questions first."
"Guess a word first. It's very simple," Du Mingyou began. "It has thick and thin pages, words and pictures. Knowledge is hidden inside. The more you read, the more you enjoy reading."
It was indeed very simple, Wen Cheng guessed it almost immediately, but he didn't say it.
Although my younger brother and cousin are young, we still need to make them feel involved.
Wen Che couldn't guess, and Xu Yuxuan was also confused.
Du Mingyou scratched his head and said, "Did you not hear clearly? Then I'll say it again."
He said it twice more, but the two children still couldn't guess it. Wen Che became a little anxious and looked at his eldest brother for help.
Wen Cheng said patiently, "Che'er, it's 'books'. And Xuan'er, you just gave two books to sister Siying."
Wen Che seemed to understand.
Du Mingyou continued, "It's what Cousin Cheng said, the word 'book'."
"But, but..." Xu Yuxuan suddenly said, "Xuan'er doesn't like to study."
"It's not like 'the more I look at it, the more I love it'."
Du Mingyou objected: "How is that possible? My father said that children all like to study."
He actually didn't like it at first, but later his father told him that if children don't like to study, they will be easily deceived.
Only then did he gradually develop a good habit of reading.
Xu Yuxuan insisted: "Xuan'er doesn't love it!"
Du Mingyou also said, "My father would never lie to me!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Wen Cheng quickly spoke up to mediate and said, "Mingyou, Xuan'er is still young. When you were a child, you didn't love reading as much as you do now."
Du Mingyou thought about it and it seemed to be the case. His confidence instantly dissipated a little. He said, "Mingyou was not thoughtful enough."
Xu Yuxuan pouted and said, "Xuan'er, you understand!"
Then, he raised his chin again and said in a positive tone: "My cousin loves reading, so he is going to get married!"
Wen Cheng was shocked. Who taught Xuan his cousin?
Du Mingyou's face flushed, and he quickly retorted: "I'm not! I didn't!"
