After performing a set of sword flower/boxing, the collars of the father and son turned darker, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Xu Yuxuan ran to Wen Ye angrily, but Wen Ye put her index finger against his chest and said, "Just stand there."
Xu Yuxuan was puzzled: "Mother?"
Wen Ye: "I have asked someone to prepare warm water. You should wash off your sweat."
Xu Yuxuan heard the disgust in Wen Ye's words. He lowered his head and sniffed himself: "It doesn't stink!"
Wen Ye said calmly: "You have to wash it even if it doesn't stink, otherwise you will go bad by the evening."
Xu Yuxuan snorted and said, "Then my father has to wash himself too. He's older than Xuan'er and stinks even more!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Yuxuan turned around to look for his father, but suddenly he exclaimed, "Where's my father?"
Wen Ye twisted a grape into his mouth and said, "Your father has already gone in to wash up."
In terms of self-awareness, the son is still young and cannot compare to me.
Seeing Nanny Ji appear again, Wen Ye urged, "If you don't go wash, later it will be your father who smells good and you who smell bad."
Xu Yuxuan didn't want to get smelly, so he shook his head and said, "Xuan'er, wash it!"
Nanny Ji went back to the west courtyard to get a change of clothes for Xu Yuxuan. The bath water was already prepared in the side room.
This year is even hotter than last year, so Wen Ye prepared his summer travel luggage early and waited for Lu's decision.
With the experience from last time, Mrs. Lu deliberately reduced the frequency of her outings to banquets after the New Year and focused on the affairs of the mansion. This time they can stay in Xiquan Mountain for a month.
Of course, we don't have to stay in Xiquan Mountain forever. Lu has also selected two places as alternatives. We'll talk about it later.
As usual, the brothers Xu Guogong and Xu Yuejia stayed behind in the Duke's Mansion, while Wen Ye and Lu took the two children out.
But this time, Shen was also involved. Lu wrote to her half a month ago.
Shen has been managing the Wen family for half her life. Now, except for Wen Ran, all the other children in the mansion have married. Wen Ran is eight years old this year, and it will take her another seven or eight years to get married.
She is a well-behaved and sensible girl who only cares about studying. She is filial to her elders and acts like an aunt to her nephews and nieces.
No one needs to worry about it.
Shen now feels much more relaxed and open-minded.
She thought about Lu's invitation for a moment and accepted it. After all, she had two daughters-in-law in her family, so she didn't have to worry too much.
However, half a month after Wen Ye and Lu went out, Xu Yuejia was implicated in a case involving a wealthy businessman from a county town outside Beijing.
The county town where the rich businessman lived was not far from Xiquan Mountain.
The case was somewhat 'complicated' and it took nearly half a month to complete the evidence collection.
......
After returning from summer vacation in Xiquan Mountain, it happened to be Xu Yuxuan’s real birthday.
He is still young, so it is not convenient to tell him such things.
On that day, Wen Ye made him a bowl of longevity noodles.
This bowl of noodles was different from what Xu Yuxuan had eaten before. There was only one noodle, but it was very long and piled in the bowl, which was half the amount of a normal bowl of noodles.
Xu Yuxuan could now use chopsticks. He picked up the slightly yellowish long noodles in the bowl and asked, "Mom, these noodles are so long."
Wen Ye said: "This is called longevity noodles. The longer it is, the longer you can live."
When Xu Yuxuan heard this, he immediately stood on a stool to see how long the noodles in his bowl were.
In front of Xu Yuejia and Wen Ye, Xu Yuxuan does not need to follow the rules. On this point, with Xu Yuejia's teaching and guidance, although Xu Yuxuan is young, he has gradually understood that actions like stepping on a stool are not allowed in other places except in front of his mother and father.
With the help of He Xiang, Xu Yuxuan stood up smoothly. When he saw that the noodles were longer than himself, he opened his mouth wide and was as surprised as he could be.
After sitting down again, he looked at the noodles in the bowl and was obviously reluctant to eat it.
Xu Yuxuan glanced around and saw that Wen Ye and Xu Yuejia also had a bowl in front of them. His eyes lit up and he asked, "Does mother have one too?"
Wen Ye said, "Hmm," and replied, "We have too much dough, we can't waste it."
Xu Yuxuan heard this and then looked at Xu Yuejia: "Father~"
Children are simple-minded and their thoughts are written all over their faces. Xu Yuejia glanced at him and finally picked up the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks.
Under Xu Yuxuan's expectant gaze, noodles that were obviously shorter appeared in front of him.
Facing two pairs of eyes at the same time, Wen Ye remained calm and said, "There's nothing I can do. When it came to my husband's bowl, the noodles we had mixed were suddenly not enough."
Although she knew how to stir the drum to eat, the number of times she had actually kneaded dough in two lifetimes could be counted on one hand.
If the dough is too thin, add more flour; if it is too dry, add water.
Repeat this process.
Originally, she was only going to make one bowl, but what happened to herself and Xu Yuejia was unexpected.
"My bowl isn't long either." To show that he didn't do it on purpose, Wen Ye also picked up the noodles in his bowl and said, "My dear, don't be too greedy. It's enough for us to live another 70 or 80 years. Xuan'er is the one who needs to live a hundred years."
Perhaps he only understood half of it, Xu Yuxuan firmly disagreed and said, "No! Xuan'er wants mother and father to live a long life!"
After saying this, he wanted to divide the noodles in his bowl into three parts.
Xu Yuejia stopped him in time and said, "Father is alive enough."
Wen Ye almost laughed out loud.
Xu Yuxuan looked confused.
Ever since she found out that Xu Yuxuan was a few months older than his apparent age, she often wondered if this child would be able to grow taller in the future.
What is the normal height for a four-year-old child? Does Xu Yuxuan meet the standard?
Perhaps because he was extremely bored, after the night game ended, Wen Ye thought of this and asked Xu Yuejia about it.
Xu Yuejia was feeding her fruit at that time.
When I heard this question, I was speechless, but at the same time, I felt that this was indeed something she would ask.
Xu Yuejia put down the fruit plate and began to recall seriously: "My eldest sister is tall, and as for Xuan'er's father, I have never seen him."
Wen Ye heard this and said, "Haven't you met Xuan'er's aunt? What about her? Brothers and sisters should look alike."
Xu Yuejia recalled: "Not much different from my elder sister."
Wen Ye suddenly felt playful: "I thought you would say something like 'It's been so long, I can't remember it'."
Isn't this how the male protagonist in the storybook talks to his wife?
She read one two days ago.
Xu Yuejia thought of the storybook that she had asked him to buy from the bookstore a few days ago and said, "I have a good memory, I haven't lost my memory."
Qi Yunqin is not only Xu Yuxuan's aunt but also his savior. She has been recuperating in the mansion for half a year. How could Xu Yuejia not remember what she looks like?
Xu Yuejia thought for a moment and then said, "If you are interested, Xuan'er has her portrait."
Not only Qi Yunqin's, but also Xu Mingyue and Qi Guangbai's.
When Xu Yuxuan grows up and learns about his life experience, he will at least be able to see the portraits of his closest relatives.
Xu Yuejia's reaction was within Wen Ye's expectations, but also beyond her expectations.
Wen Yexin was slightly moved and said, "I thought my husband would ask me if I was jealous."
Xu Yuejia said firmly: "You won't."
He knew what it was about him that she liked most.
At the same time, he was also glad that there were things about him that she would be interested in.
How is this not considered a kind of love?
Wen Ye certainly wouldn't, but that didn't stop her from admiring Xu Yuejia more and more.
At this moment, she suddenly became curious about Xu Yuejia's past and what had shaped his current personality.
"Why don't you tell me about the years since you graduated from high school and became an official?"
Xu Yuejia looked at her intently and said, "I'm still here, and you're already missing me?"
Wen Ye almost didn't react, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't say it was Miao Huai."
She was just curious whether Xu Yuejia was as pleasing to her eyes when she was in her teens as she is now.
Thinking of this, Wen Ye suddenly remembered that many years ago, when Xu Yuejia was paraded through the streets as the top scorer in high school, she seemed to be the only one among the young people in the Wen family who was lazy and did not go out to the streets to see the show.
Xu Yuejia paused for a long time and said, "You will be disappointed."
Wen Ye: "What aspect?"
If you disagree with something, you can easily change the subject to something else.
Xu Yuejia: "...It's not what you think."
Wen Ye raised an eyebrow: "Really? But I haven't lost my memory."
Xu Yuejia was silent for a moment and said, "That's what I said."
After graduating from high school, Xu Yuejia was the first person since the founding of the Jin Dynasty who did not stay in the top three of the Hanlin Academy, but chose to go to a remote county town to serve as a county magistrate.
Firstly, it was to reduce the sharpness of the Duke's Mansion, and secondly, he hoped that what he had learned could be put into practical use.
Before arriving in Linzhi County, Xu Yuejia was a well-fed and noble young man with nothing special about him.
The small county town that had to be reached by crossing mountains and ridges was much more corrupt and miserable than Xu Yuejia had imagined. There seemed to be only one kind of people there: men.
Two years later, he was transferred back to Shengjing.
The trend of seizing the throne in Shengjing was surging. Seeing that the late emperor was dying, the three ancestors of the Zheng family, who held low-ranking positions but were in key positions, were slandered one after another because they were unwilling to take sides.
Xu Yuejia didn't want to get involved in the chaos of seizing the throne, so she secretly collected evidence of the slander for the Zheng family and cleared them of the grievances.
This action angered the Ninth Prince, who was in the limelight at the time, and also caused dissatisfaction from the previous emperor.
He was successively exiled to Xunyang and Wuzhou.
At this point, Xu Yuejia paused for a moment and said, "If we had gone to Wuzhou first, not only Xuan'er would have had a different life."
Wen Ye sighed in a low voice: "Just a little bit."
Xu Yuejia said: "Actually, I tried to persuade her at that time, but she still insisted on giving birth to the child."
This "she" naturally refers to Xu Yuxuan's biological mother, Xu Mingyue.
Wen Ye didn't expect there to be such a part in it. She turned her eyes away and said, "This doesn't sound like something my husband would say."
Xu Yuejia admitted frankly: "At that time, I still had some bad habits in my heart."
Later, he reflected seriously and realized that it was not him who was pregnant, and he had no right to decide whether the child should stay or go away for others.
No matter who that person is, even if it is his wife.
Wen Ye looked at him quietly. No wonder he was willing to take birth control pills and not mess around outside. It was the first time they met on their wedding night and they were not familiar with each other yet, but he still did whatever she said.
No wonder he wouldn't force her to respond.
