Chapter 358: Great Ability and Great Temper
The Ji family had never had twins for three generations before them. Ji Wenshu had no sons, but his daughter was so proud of herself! Not to mention not letting him hold the baby, even if he was kicked out of the house and made to wander around, he would still say that his daughter was the most proud person in the world!
Ji's mother stopped him from talking nonsense, "Okay, okay, my daughter is the best!" She hit him twice in anger, "Look at you, you are so arrogant every day!"
"Haha!" Ji's father was very proud. He talked about a time when the father-in-law and son-in-law were sitting together. He asked his son-in-law how he could tolerate Shushu's temper. "Guess what Xiuyuan said?"
What's so difficult about this? Although her daughter often offended her son-in-law in public, Ji's mother always pretended to defend him, but she knew clearly in her heart, "Xiuyuan has a good character. It must be because he is responsible as a father and a husband. And Shushu is wholeheartedly for his contributions, he knows it well."
Therefore, when a woman gets married, the first thing she must consider is the man’s character.
"My wife is very open-minded!" Father Ji stroked his increasingly thinning mustache. "My son-in-law sees things more clearly than the two of us. He said Shushu has great abilities but a bad temper. We should just let her do what she wants."
Mother Ji spread her hands and said, "How can I not let her do what she wants? Xiuyuan knows Shushu has a bad temper, but he still indulges her!"
"My daughter can't stand being bullied." Father Ji looked proud. Mother Ji changed her into freshly dried clothes. "Okay, okay. I haven't been home for a few days. Go check on Xiao San. She's crying because she's teething."
At dinner time, two small strollers were placed next to the square chicken-wing wood dining table. Xiao San's teeth were itchy and uncomfortable, so he bit the beef tendon that was used to grind his teeth and cried, "Wuwuwu..." The wet nurse held him and coaxed him while walking. But he was so young and could recognize people well. He kept looking in the direction of Wangshu and stretching out his hands, kicking his legs, and refused to let the wet nurse hold him. She put him back in the stroller and cried until his voice almost broke.
Everyone came with bowls of food to coax the baby, but the baby was in discomfort and kept crying, and had a fever. Wangshu had to put down the bowls, wiped his hands and picked him up, "Okay, Xiaosan, be good, it doesn't hurt." He stuffed the beef tendon back into his mouth and rubbed it for him, wiped his tears, and only then did the baby calm down. The wet nurse quickly put a half-cold handkerchief on his forehead and wiped the hot sweat off his body. Lele didn't need his mother's eye signal, and quickly sat next to his sister to feed him food and vegetables.
You have to treat both sides equally, you can't just hold the younger brother and not the younger sister. Qin Yunxiao wiped his hands like his mother did, and held the younger sister in his arms. He was strong and had long arms, so he held the younger sister steadily. During the past few days when his younger brother was not feeling well, he and his mother took turns to look after the two little ones.
Mingxi picked up some food, ate a bite herself, and fed her brother who was still hungry. The brother and sister knew that their little sister was born different, so they always kept their eyes on her. They couldn't express it with words, but they always tried to make up for the regret caused by the defect with their actions.
Ji's father and mother suppressed their urge to help. The elders teach by words and deeds, and the younger generation is influenced by what they see and hear. This principle is reflected in the child's words and deeds. Their eyes could not leave their grandson's hand holding the baby, and they kept asking with concern, "Hold it tight."
It takes a few days for a baby to have teeth and a fever, and he can't leave his parents day or night. But the mistress only recognizes her biological mother. Wangshu endured two nights, and his back ached, and he couldn't lift his arms. He was too sleepy to dare to sleep, and he felt like he was breathing out more than breathing in.
The little guy's gums were itchy, so he bit anything he saw. The two cooked beef tendons were also full of teeth marks. He arched his back into her arms, and his legs were strong. He gnawed the empty granary several times and kicked the cloth wrapped around her belly. It was so painful!
In the middle of the night, she was sleepy, and Xiao San was also sleepy. The tooth marks were hot and itchy. The little guy was sleepy and uncomfortable, waking up and falling asleep, biting the beef tendon and crying. Wangshu, who was angry and sleepy, found it funny and distressing. As long as he woke up and saw that it was his mother, the little guy would turn over and squeeze next to her again and again before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
What persistence!
There was no other way, so the two little ones were moved to the inner side of the big bed in the main room. Their bedding was changed frequently and someone was asked to keep watch at night, so Wangshu finally got some sleep.
As soon as Xiao San's lower teeth came out, it was Xiao Si's turn to grind her teeth. She felt uncomfortable but couldn't cry out, as if her throat was blocked by a stone. She could only make a "ho ho" sound even with all her strength. Not to mention Wangshu, Yun Xiao and Mingxi, who had strong empathy, frowned and watched over their little sister, spreading the towel and handing her beef tendon strips. They couldn't eat or sleep well.
Wangshu did not send them back to their rooms. The two pairs of children slept beside him at once. As soon as the third and fourth children made any noise at night, all three of them woke up. That was how it was. The brother and sister went to class as usual every day, and took care of their younger siblings after class. Whenever Zhang Sanji came to the house during the day, he no longer insisted on going out shopping and watching the fun.
Under the pergola, the brother and sister were each guarding a small wooden cart, shaking a rattle and rocking the doll lying on its back in the cart, making the younger brother and sister kick their legs and reveal two newly erupted little front teeth. The second young lady of the Ji family was standing next to them, holding a large umbrella and paying attention to blocking the sunlight from reaching the doll.
"The young master has grown sensible overnight!"
They all help take care of their younger brothers and sisters.
Coming out of the study, the two followed Wangshu to the pavilion to watch the scene. Ji Shou felt very satisfied and nudged Zhang San again, "General Zhang, what do you think?"
Zhang San's mind was still full of the things Wangshu had just said. He naturally saw it, and when he pushed him, he just said, "If you want, Brother Ji, just get married!"
The speaker may not have meant it, but the listener took it to heart. Wangshu realized that the two people in front of him were both single and old, so he urged them, "Don't you two have a girl you like?"
She never liked to meddle in other people's affairs, and she hated the privacy that gossip girls were most interested in. Facing her right-hand men, she said jokingly, "Following the general and me, I can get silver, but I can't get a girl."
The two men had been exposed to the wind and sun and had dark faces to begin with. When they heard these words, their faces turned red and dark, as red as liver.
"Miss, what are you talking about?" Ji Shou was close to the mistress after all, so he retorted, "Not waiting... waiting... to be sent!"
Well, speaking of girls of marriageable age, Xiaoqing and Xiaolu are not interested in men, Wangshu can only think of two, and casually said: "The girl Zhou Yuefu is quite good. The character of Miss Landie is also acceptable."
Although Landie is a slave, she can't help but be humble and flattering in front of the so-called "noble man", but she teaches Mingxi diligently and even donated half a year's salary this time.
As soon as she finished speaking, two pairs of eyes fell on her face and then quickly turned away. Wangshu was a little surprised and widened her eyes for a moment, "What?" She...what did she say?
The two men, one to the left and the other to the right, slightly avoided the mistress's question. Ji Shou put his hand on the corner of the stone table and said, "Miss, how can we, the rough guys, comment on the noble lady?"
Even if it was the dancer Landie, given Miss Mingxi's teacher status, Ashina still couldn't get her.
Wangshu: ...Just a casual remark from a woman of marriageable age. Zhou Yuefu had even publicly been a "Waiting Stone" looking out for Qin Xiuyuan.
"I think we have the ability, we just lack a reputation." Chang'an had been looted, and women often suffered more. It was rare for them to be able to keep themselves safe. Girls were few in number, and if one family had a daughter, hundreds of families would want her.
"Ji Shou, if you have any ideas, you should take the initiative."
