When Lu Xuan came to the backyard, Da Qiao looked surprised. It was rare for her husband to accompany him early. The two talked together and teased Lu Yu and Zheng Xiaotong.
Lu Yu is about to turn one year old and can barely walk a few steps.
Zheng Xiaotong is older, more than one year old, and can already walk.
When the two children were young, they were both very plump and cute, and they are still the same now, with baby fat still on them. It's just that when the two children grew up, they could crawl and walk, and they still babbling in their mouths. When they had their own ideas, they couldn't control them and began to mess around.
Lu Xuan looked at Lu Yu who was wrapped up thickly and crawling everywhere on the ground. He squatted down and waved: "Yu'er, come to daddy."
When Lu Yu heard Lu Xuan's words, he raised his head and glanced at Lu Xuan.
The big black eyes were blinking, as if they were thinking, as if they were confirming. That serious look made Lu Xuan's heart tremble.
This is the joy of raising a baby.
When you like it, it's like your lifeblood. When I saw him tossing his skin, I wanted to beat him up.
"Quick, come over here."
Lu Xuan waved again.
With a smile on his face, he looked at Lu Yu expectantly.
Da Qiao also smiled and encouraged: "Yu'er, go to daddy quickly. Stand up and walk over."
Lu Yu was stunned again, put his hands on the ground, thrust his butt against Lao Gao, and then stood up little by little. His little body staggered, and suddenly he grinned, revealing two white little tiger teeth, which was so cute.
"Daddy..."
A crisp but clear voice suddenly came from Lu Yu's mouth.
The sound is a little fuzzy.
But when this voice came into Lu Xuan's head, his whole heart suddenly became ecstatic, and the indescribable joy filled his heart. He quickly looked at Da Qiao and said anxiously: "Did you hear that Yu'er called me daddy? He called me daddy."
Da Qiao's face was also full of happiness.
"Daddy, daddy..."
Zheng Xiaotong on the side also shouted when he heard Lu Yu talking.
Lu Xuan smiled even more.
Zheng Xiaotong was raised by his side. He was not a son, but he was still like a son.
"Come, come, come here."
Lu Xuan opened his arms with a bright smile on his face. Lu Yu staggered over and when he was almost in front of Lu Xuan, he rushed over and fell into Lu Xuan's arms. Zheng Xiaotong did the same. After throwing himself into Lu Xuan's arms, he shouted for daddy.
Lu Xuan hugged his two children, feeling happy.
The first sound of his son calling "Daddy" was nothing less than the sound of nature to Lu Xuan. Even though the sound dissipated, the sound still echoed in my mind, and the joy in my heart filled the air.
This was the same emotion as a first-time father when he knew Da Qiao was pregnant and gave birth to a child.
It is beyond words.
Lu Xuan teased the two children, feeling happy and relaxed. But this joy suddenly dissipated as the two children started crying. The two children were crying and couldn't be coaxed at all.
Lu Xuan could only leave the child to the wet nurse to take him down.
Taking care of children is not an easy job.
After taking the child down, Lu Xuan took Da Qiao's hand and went for a walk in the backyard. After walking around, it was already dark. The two had dinner, played with the children for a while, and then returned to the room to rest.
After a night of rain, everything calmed down. The next morning, Da Qiao helped Lu Xuan get up and wash up. They had breakfast with Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan went to deal with government affairs, and Da Qiao was reading in the yard.
On weekdays, in addition to taking care of things in the backyard, Da Qiao takes care of the children, reading, embroidering, and spinning and weaving.
This was all done by herself to pass the time.
While Da Qiao was reading, the maid came in, walked to Da Qiao's side, bowed and said, "Madam."
Da Qiao nodded and said, "What's the matter?"
The maid said: "This slave heard a piece of news and doesn't know whether to say it or not."
Da Qiao glanced sideways at the maid and ordered: "Since you don't know whether you should say it or not, don't say it."
The maid was speechless for a moment.
Da Qiao put down the book in his hand and said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, speak directly and don't show off. Things are not yours to think about."
The maid looked respectful and said quickly: "Reporting to Madam, I heard someone said that there is another woman outside the king. This woman's name is Diao Chan. She was Lu Bu's concubine in the past. Diao Chan ran a Shuxiang Pavilion, selling books and Paper, do some small business. From time to time, I will go to Diao Chan’s Shuxiang Pavilion."
Da Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly and thought in his heart.
She did not immediately comment.
The maid's eyes were fierce and she said: "Madam, Diao Chan is just a foxy girl who specializes in seducing people, especially Lu Shijun. Just let people smash her Shuxiang Pavilion and kill her quietly. She is outside anyway, No one knows even if he’s dead.”
After hearing this, Da Qiao's eyes suddenly became sharp and he raised his hand and slapped him away.
Snapped!
There was a loud slap.
"No rules!"
Da Qiao scolded sharply.
The maid's heart trembled when she heard this, and she knelt on the ground with a plop, and said quickly: "Madam, I am guilty, and I am doing it for your own good."
Da Qiao stood up and scolded: "Of course you are guilty. A mere maid interferes with your husband's affairs and family affairs. If it weren't for your loyalty, it wouldn't be as simple as slapping you. You would be executed. . Can you, a maid, get involved in your husband's affairs?"
"This slave is guilty, but this slave is also thinking about my wife."
The maid hurriedly spoke.
Da Qiao snorted and said: "For my sake, you should know that blocking is worse than sparing. Killing people and dealing with Diao Chan will only make your husband disgusted. It is difficult to be a man, and it is even harder to be a woman, and it is even more difficult to be a woman from a prince like your husband. It’s hard.”
"All the princes in the world have wives and concubines."
"There are very few husbands."
"You killed Diao Chan today, and Wang Chan and Li Chan will come out tomorrow. Can you finish the killing? Relying on killing people is the next best thing."
Da Qiao stared at the maid and said in a deep voice: "If you don't fight with me, you can't fight with anything. Sometimes, fighting is the only way to fight. You are the person next to me, so you should have a brain and take a long-term view." . You can’t understand this, and keeping you here will be a disaster.”
After hearing this, the maid quickly said: "I understand, slave."
Da Qiao ordered: "Go and inquire about Shuxiang Pavilion. I want to meet Diao Chan."
"Here!"
The maid turned around and left.
There was a thoughtful look in Da Qiao's eyes.
She has never thought about competing for favor, because she is naturally the first wife, and her son is the eldest son. Even if a woman like Diao Chan can win favor with her beauty, how long can she last?
What's more, her husband has always treated her very well and always taken care of her.
Da Qiao never fights for anything.
The more you try to grab it, the more you try to grab it, the more you will find nothing. She considers Lu Xuan in everything, is gentle, decent, dignified and generous, and handles the affairs in the backyard well. This is her way to gain a foothold and the foundation for her invincibility.
Da Qiao was waiting in the house. After a short time, the maid came back and told the location of Shuxiang Pavilion. Da Qiao asked someone to prepare a carriage, and then took the carriage and left the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion in the direction of Shuxiang Pavilion.
