Chapter 954: 954, Bad Temper
Yan Wenxiu and others left the palace after dinner. After seeing them off, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang took Daozi to pay their respects to Nanshan Hall where Gu Jian lived and Chunhuiyuan where Guo Ruomei lived.
The old man didn't like socializing, and Guo Ruomei felt that she had divorced Prince Heping, and it was against the rules for her to live with her son. She didn't want to cause gossip, so neither of them met Yan Wenxiu and others.
When I came back after greeting everyone, the rice was already yawning.
Daohua quickly washed her son and carefully put him on the bed: "You watch over the child, I'm going to take a shower first."
Xiao Yeyang said "hmm" and sat on the edge of the bed, looking lovingly at his son who was lying on the bed with his legs spread out and sleeping soundly, pinching his son's little hands and feet from time to time.
After a while, seeing Daohua coming out in a gauze nightgown, Xiao Yeyang's eyes suddenly became a little fiery, and he said hoarsely: "The west room has been cleaned up. Let the wet nurse sleep with my son from now on."
With his son around, he had no chance to be intimate with Yi Yi.
Daohua noticed Xiao Yeyang's expression and glanced at him: "My son definitely won't do it."
Xiao Yeyang: "How do you know it won't work if you haven't even tried it? Just let it go tonight. Let your son sleep in the west room tonight."
Daohua hesitated a little: "How about waiting until my son is a little older before sleeping in the west room?"
Xiao Yeyang didn't want to stay like this any longer, so he said decisively: "Tonight, the little guy happened to be asleep, I'll carry him over now."
After saying that, he carefully picked up his sleeping son.
When Daozi was picked up, he seemed a little uncomfortable. He hummed twice and frowned.
Seeing this, Daohua hurriedly warned, "Be gentle."
Xiao Yeyang was also worried that his son would be woken up. The little guy had a bad temper and if he was woken up, he would definitely make a fuss.
After successfully placing his son on the bed in the west room, Xiao Yeyang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Fang Niang and the two maids standing beside him, "Serve the young prince well. If anything happens, notify the prince and princess immediately."
Fangniang nodded in agreement quickly.
Xiao Yeyang returned to his room, looked at Daohua with a smile and said, "Wait for me." After that, he quickly went into the bathroom to wash up.
That night, the two of them didn't go to bed until late at night.
Xiao Yeyang had been a vegetarian for too long, so he couldn't stop eating meat; Daohua, on the other hand, felt a little guilty. Since the birth of her child, she had focused all her energy on the child, and inevitably neglected Xiao Yeyang, so she wanted to make it up to him.
So, before you know it, it's already late at night.
The next morning, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were awakened by a burst of earth-shaking crying.
Hearing the crying, Xiao Yeyang rolled over and sat up. Daohua was a beat slower, but also sat up in a flash.
“It’s the rice that’s crying!”
Xiao Yeyang put on his inner garment and strode to the west room.
At this time, on the bed in the west room, Daozi was crying loudly with his face red. Fangniang wanted to hug him, but the little guy kept hitting and kicking, refusing to let Fangniang hug him. Fangniang and the maids were so anxious that they were sweating profusely.
As soon as Xiao Yeyang came over, Daozi immediately cried out loudly: "Daddy~"
Xiao Yeyang felt so distressed that he quickly walked over and picked up his son. He knew his son's temper, so he didn't blame Fang Niang and the others. He went back to the house while coaxing his son.
As soon as Daohua put on her clothes, Xiao Yeyang came back with his son in his arms.
"mother!"
As soon as the rice saw the rice flowers, it immediately reached out to hug them.
Seeing the tear marks on her son's face, Daohua felt extremely distressed. She quickly took Daozi and walked slowly around the house holding him, soothing him softly, "Daozi, what's wrong?"
When Daozi was in Daohua's arms, her crying became quieter and she sobbed on Daohua's shoulder.
"I want my mother~"
"I want daddy~"
Xiao Yeyang felt very guilty when he heard his son's crying voice.
Daohua continued to coax her son: "Daddy and Mommy will always be with Daozi. We just let Daozi sleep in another place last night. Mommy and Daddy are always here."
Daozi rubbed Daohua's shoulder, holding Daohua's clothes tightly with both hands, and said in a milky voice with a sob tone: "No, come together."
This was the first time his son had said four words at once, which really surprised Daohua. He quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay, let's sleep together."
Only then did Daozi stop crying.
Xiao Yeyang, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief. He took Daozi and wiped the tears from his son's face. He said with a distressed look, "Why are you so irritable? You're a man, you should sleep by yourself. Dad and Mom are taking you to the west room. This is for your own good, do you understand?"
Daozi tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yeyang with a confused look on his face. Because he had just cried, his eyes became clearer and brighter, which made Xiao Yeyang feel uncomfortable to continue fooling his son.
Daohua brought some warm water to feed her son: "I think we should continue to let our son sleep with us in the future. We can move him to the west room when he is older."
Xiao Yeyang was helpless. Looking at his son whose eyes were red and swollen after crying and looked pitiful, he could only nod in agreement.
During breakfast, Gu Jian and Guo Ruomei sent people over to ask Daozi why she was crying so early in the morning.
Xiao Yeyang casually dismissed the visitor and pinched his son's nose: "You little brat, one person's crying alarmed the whole mansion."
Daozi thought Xiao Yeyang was playing tricks on him, so he showed his big front teeth and giggled.
Xiao Yeyang was speechless. He picked up the porridge and started drinking. When he had almost finished his breakfast, he said, "All the confiscated property of the Wei family has been confiscated by the government. I just had someone sort it out."
"After a while, some of the farms and fields will be sold. You want to buy some more land, right? I think the Wei family's land is good. Find some time and ask Yan Shouhou to take a look."
While feeding her son, Daohua asked, "The Wei family is very wealthy, right?"
Xiao Yeyang sneered: "It's more than just big. Xiliang is so poor. Besides the geographical reasons, the Wei family is another big cancer."
"I won't mention anything else. Just look at the best farmland around Liangdu. The Wei family has already taken over two-thirds of it. Dusi's ranch has also become the Wei family's private ranch."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yeyang became very angry.
"By the way, I want to transfer some of the grain we harvested this year."
Daohua looked puzzled. "What are they used for? If there's no war, the garrison should be able to support the border troops, right?"
Xiao Yeyang sighed, "In the war with Western Liao, many soldiers were killed or wounded. Many of them were the pillars of their families. Although the court provided pensions, it was far from enough to support a family."
"I set aside a piece of land from the Wei family to house homeless wounded soldiers and families whose pillars of support had been lost."
"Although the land has been allocated, it's too late to grow crops this year. We have to provide them with some food first, otherwise, they won't be able to survive once winter arrives."
After hearing the reason, Daohua immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, do we need Qin Xiaoliu to send more food?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessary. The grain produced by the five barren mountain terraces you reclaimed in Ganzhouwei is enough."
