While the two were chatting, a child's cry suddenly came from the room, and then the cry came from far away. Zhichun came out with Du Zhao in his arms, and anxiously said to Xu Shichu: "Madam, the young master suddenly started crying. No matter how much I try to coax it, I can’t stop it...I don’t know if the condition has recurred again..."
Xu Shichu took the child over and stroked his forehead. There was no sign of fever. The child was crying heartbrokenly and was much more energetic than when he cried weakly during the day. Therefore, it was definitely not a recurrence of the condition but a recurrence of the condition. It was the child who cried when he arrived in a strange place and didn't see his parents.
"Mother... mother..." Du Zhao shouted while crying. Xu Shichu hugged him a little unfamiliarly and patted his back gently, trying to calm him down.
"Find some toy to divert his attention." Xu Shichu saw him crying for a long time, so he had no choice but to say to the maid.
She doesn't know how to coax children.
At this time, a pair of slender and beautiful hands suddenly stretched out in front of Xu Shichu and took the crying child in her arms.
It was Luo Changqing. He held the child upright in his arms skillfully, stood up, gently shook the child's little body, and said in a low voice to the maids who were lying and had no experience in raising children: "Go and get it." The wet nurse came and asked him to drink milk."
Zhixia quickly replied: "I haven't had time to find the wet nurse yet... The milk is used by the madam to make tea. I don't know if the young master can drink it..."
Xu Shichu said decisively: "Is it still fresh? If it's fresh, give it to him to drink, and then cook some egg custard soup, porridge and other meals that children can eat. He fell asleep after drinking the medicine. He hasn't eaten yet, and he's crying so hard. , he must be hungry too."
The people around him started to do what they were told.
Luo Changqing looked with a headache at the master and servants in this room who did not know how to take care of the child. If the child did not cry, none of them would have thought of feeding the child, right?
What a bunch of unreliable masters and servants! Luo Changqing thought as he patted the child who was gradually calming down in his arms.
"Have you prepared the necessary things such as the children's clothes, shoes and socks?" Luo Changqing looked at Xu Shichu without any hope and asked.
Xu Shichu was stunned for a moment, his eyes were wandering, and his voice was so light with guilt: "No... I didn't think of this at the moment... But it's dark now, and it's too late for the maids to make them now. It's better to wait until tomorrow to buy some new ones. ?”
Luo Changqing glanced at her lightly and said, "Rui'er's childhood clothes are still well preserved. If you don't mind, can I have someone find some for you?"
Xu Shichu nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, the workmanship and fabric of your son's clothes must be excellent. Du Zhao just wears them too much these days, what is there to dislike? Thank you."
Xu Shichu said it very sincerely. She didn't think it was insulting to let Du Zhao wear Luo Rui's old clothes. After all, they were just clothes. Some ordinary people would go out of their way to find old clothes worn by other children for their children to wear. This is called Baijiayi or something.
"But, would your son mind if his clothes are worn by others?" Xu Shichu suddenly thought of this question.
Luo Changqing shook his head: "What's the problem? He can't wear the clothes he wore when he was a child now." Then he ordered people to find Luo Rui's clothes.
Zhichun and Zhixia came over with toys and milk. Luo Changqing did not let them feed the child. Instead, he held the child in one hand, picked up a spoon with the other, and fed Du Zhao spoonful by spoonful.
Du Zhao was really hungry. As soon as the milk touched his little mouth, he couldn't wait to suck it in.
Luo Changqing lowered his head and fed Du Zhao very patiently. His long, jade-like fingers held a delicate golden spoon, which was particularly eye-catching.
Xu Shichu stared at the hand, and a sentence suddenly came to his mind: How virtuous...
After realizing what she was thinking, she almost laughed out loud and quickly covered her mouth for fear of being discovered by Luo Changqing.
Now that he is helping him take care of his children, it’s better not to laugh at him, right?
Du Zhao drank a small bowl of milk and became energetic. His dark eyes looked at Luo Changqing who was holding him, and then he tilted his little head and asked in confusion: "Dad?"
"Pfft!" Xu Shichu couldn't help it anymore and accidentally laughed out loud.
"You little fool, you even mistakenly admitted your biological father. He is not your father!" Xu Shichu poked Du Zhao's little face and said.
After hearing this, Du Zhao was stunned for a while and carefully identified Luo Changqing. He seemed to really recognize that this was not his biological father, so he closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and started crying again.
Xu Shichu froze immediately and immediately sat upright, pretending that he was not the one who made the child cry.
Luo Changqing finally coaxed the child, but Xu Shichu made Xu Shichu cry, so he glared at the culprit: "If you talk again, you will coax the child yourself!"
Xu Shichu quickly covered his mouth, shook his head repeatedly, and opened his innocent eyes to indicate that he would never tease Du Zhao again.
Luo Changqing then stood up with Du Zhao in his arms and turned around to coax him. Looking at his extremely skillful posture, Xu Shichu truly believed that he had brought up Luo Yaqing and Luo Rui single-handedly.
It's really rare. Men in this era all agree that children are the responsibility of women, and no manly man will coax his children personally. But Luo Changqing is different. Looking at his current appearance, you know that he is definitely a serious and responsible father.
After a while, the fragrant custard was brought back. Luo Changqing personally fed Du Zhao until his belly was bulging, and then put him to sleep again without letting Xu Shichu and the maids take over.
What a good dad, Xu Shichu sighed again, who knew that Luo Xiangye, who was all-powerful in the political arena, was also good at coaxing children?
Before leaving, Luo Changqing said to Xu Shichu: "I see that you don't have any experience in raising children. You'd better find a nanny to come back. The children must be taken good care of and cannot be left alone."
Xu Shichu nodded like a fool: "Okay, I'll go find an experienced wet nurse tomorrow."
Seeing that Luo Changqing hadn't left yet, Xu Shichu raised his head and asked, "Is there anything else I want to explain?"
Luo Changqing coughed lightly and said, "I think your refreshing tea tonight tastes very good."
Xu Shichu understood immediately and told Zhichun: "Go and bring a jar of dried mint tea to the Prime Minister!"
You have to give him a gift as a thank you for coaxing your child for half the night. Since he likes dried mint tea, you might as well give it to him. Mint is not a valuable thing.
So the temporary nanny Luo Changqing left with a jar of dried mint tea and left with satisfaction.
Xu Shichu watched his back as straight as a green pine and jade bamboo go away, and remembered that the last time he came here, he took away all kinds of chrysanthemums from her, and took away her sleeping fragrance last time, and this time, he And took away her dried mint tea...
Is he "a thief who never makes a mistake"?
