A big red embroidered with the character "Fu" (good fortune) swaddle, a dark blue embroidered with the character "Kang" (health) swaddle, when you get closer to take a look, they are all wrapped around tender and delicate little babies, with their round eyes wide open, smiling at people with a "giggle".

  Old Jiang looked with mouth watering and asked: "Whose child is this? How did he end up here?"

  Li Huaiyu smiled and said: "Picked up on the road."

  Jiang Xuanjin gave her a cold glance and said seriously, "Father, don't listen to her nonsense. These two children are my flesh and blood with her. I didn't have time to tell you before, now bring them over for you to see."

  The old man's eyebrows twitched, and his feet stumbled, almost losing his balance: "Whose flesh and blood?"

  Jiang Xuanjin repeated seriously: "Mine and hers."

  In other words, they are his own flesh and blood grandchildren.

  His eyes widened in shock, and the old man exclaimed: "When did this happen? How could I have no idea at all?"

  "My son also found out later." Mentioning this, Jiang Xuanjin looked deeply at Huaiyu, "She was pregnant during the Yinping period and had a falling out with me, didn't tell me."

  Old Man Jiang: "Ah?"

  An old face turned bright red with embarrassment, he glanced at the small bundle in Huaiyu's arms, swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He stretched out his hand, then withdrew it again.

  She was pregnant at that time and was scolded by him

  Looking at the old man's embarrassed and yearning eyes, Huai Yu was quite magnanimous, stretching out his hand to put the little guy in his palm into his hands: "Here. This is your brother."

  "Oh dear, oh dear!" The old man hastily added, afraid of dropping the child, he threw down his dragon-headed cane and hurriedly shouted, "Housekeeper, housekeeper, help me sit down! It's better to hold him while sitting!"

  The housekeeper responded repeatedly and helped him sit in the armchair. He then held the little rascal in his arms, gazing at him with shining eyes.

  The little rascal stared blankly at him and blew a spit bubble at him.

  "Look at those lively eyes! That delicate nose! That full forehead!" Overjoyed, the old man couldn't care about his demeanor anymore, and gleefully showed off to the butler, "Isn't he spirited? Look, he's not even crying. He's smiling at me!"

  "Yes, yes, yes." The housekeeper responded with a mixture of tears and laughter, "The child is indeed clever."

  "Oh my, oh my, you're born well, you're born well!" The old man couldn't stop praising Huaiyu, his eyebrows were bent from smiling and his teeth were almost showing. "Are they twins? Let me see the other one too!"

  Jiang Xuanjin hugged Xiao Huo Hai and moved closer: "This is mèimèi."

  "What?! The old man was even more shocked, "Dragon and Phoenix twins?!"

  "Yes."

  He took a deep breath of cool air, and the old man was so delighted that he couldn't speak. He put the little scamp in his arms and then reached out to take over the little troublemaker, holding both of them together, looking left and right, with tears welling up in his eyes.

  "Old master, you'll get tired like this." The steward said considerately, "Let me carry one for you?"

  "Go away! Go away!" He waved his hands repeatedly, and choked back a sob. "I can hold on to it, no matter how many I have to hold on to, nobody else is going to touch it!"

  As she spoke, she stretched out her arm and hugged the two dolls tightly to her left and right sides, murmuring: "Our house finally has a little girl, we finally have a little daughter!"

  Huai Yu thought it was strange and leaned over to Jiang Xuanjin's side to ask: "Is a daughter better than a son?"

  "I don't know about other families, but in this one, girls are spoiled and boys are beaten into shape." Jiang Xuanjin said expressionlessly. "The rules of the Jiang family. Women who make mistakes are punished by copying scriptures, while men are dealt with through family law."

  Li Huaiyu sympathetically glanced at the little rascal in the swaddle, her son, and thought to herself: "Good luck to you!"

  The old man hugged his grandson and teased him for a while, then whispered two sentences to the butler, who soon came out of the main house with a box in his hands.

  "This was left behind by your mother, Xuan Jin." The old man's hands were not empty, and he nodded with his chin at the box, indicating that Huai Yu should open it.

  Hua Yu took it over and looked at it, a pair of exquisitely crafted purple jade bangles, quite heavy.

  Jiang Xuanjin looked deeply at the old man, this thing was not even taken out when he got married, it's his mother's only heirloom.

  The old man smiled at him: "What should be given, let her wear it, and it's good for her body."

  Hua Yu didn't know the significance of the jade bangle to Old Master, but she could understand his intentions. So, she generously stretched out her wrist in front of Jiang Xuanjin and smiled as he put it on for her.

  The old man smiled kindly and asked by the way: "What are these two children called?"

  Jiang Xuanjin paused, subconsciously wanting to cover Li Huaiyu's mouth, but it was too late. The person quickly replied: "Brother little rascal, Mèimèi little troublemaker, the name hasn't been decided yet!"

  The courtyard was quiet for a while.

  The old man's smile froze on his face, stiff for a long time, his eyebrows and eyes sank, and he turned to scold Jiang Xuan: "What kind of broken name did you give him?!"

  Jiang Xuanjin's eyelid twitched: "It wasn't me who started it."

  "It was me who got up." Hua Yu blinked her eyes, "Isn't it bad?"

  "What's good about this name, Little Scourge? Ah? The old man wanted to scold him, but looking at her, he endured it and said in a gentle tone: "It's unlucky, do you want to change it? Let me go through the books?"

  The tone was worlds apart, and Jiang Xuanjin narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened.

  His father wasn't like that before, saying that all juniors were treated equally, why scold him and not Li Huaiyu?

  Hua Yu thought for a moment and said, "Give it a great name."

  "Alright, alright!" he hastily replied, and then Grandfather picked up the two children and headed towards the study.

  "Father, child"

  "I'm holding, I'm holding, I can hold! You young people go and have fun, I'll take them tonight! Just call the wet nurse over here!" Originally, he needed a dragon-headed cane to walk steadily on the road, but now holding two bundles, he was walking as fast as flying, afraid that someone would snatch them away, and in a flash, he entered the study.

  The housekeeper bowed to the two of them and hurriedly followed, half-supporting the old man.

  Hua Yu stared in amazement: "Can it be like this?"

  "It's just a habit." Jiang Xuanjin said calmly, "When Yanyu was first born, she also lived in Hongyuan Pavilion. Father is more experienced in taking care of children than you are. Don't worry too much."

  "I'm not worried about the kid, but isn't he a bit old for this? Doesn't he get tired?"

  "If he's really tired, the steward will say so." Jiang Xuanjin turned around, "Let's go back and rest."

  "Good." He was at ease, and she had nothing to worry about. She pulled him along, skipping and jumping towards the ink house. As soon as they entered the main room, her eyes sparkled, and she hooked his waistband, pulling him upstairs.

  Jiang Xuanjin thought she was going to the second floor, and just as he was about to say that the second floor hadn't been tidied up yet, this person suddenly flipped over and pinned him in the stairwell. He licked his lips lightly with his tongue and asked him with rolling eyes: "Want a kiss?"

  Jiang Xueming: "I don't know"

  I don't know why. It's something that should be normal between a husband and wife, but when she says it, it makes people blush.

  "Can't you speak properly?"

  She thought for a moment, then pushed him against the wooden railing with one hand, grasping the railing with both hands and barely holding him in her own arms. She stood up on tiptoes and whispered in his ear: "Say it nicely, I want to kiss you."

  Jiang Xuanjin gritted his teeth, but before he could scold her, she leaned in and planted a kiss on his lips, her body pressing against him in a way that made him have to catch her.

  His calm breathing was disrupted. He let out a low hum, pinched the person's waist, and leaned against her forehead to catch his breath: "What are you doing all of a sudden?"

  "Flattering you!" Hua Yu smiled slyly and said, "Otherwise I'm afraid you won't sleep with me tonight."

  "You're overthinking it."

  "Is that so?" With a raised eyebrow, Huai Yu pulled him along as they continued upstairs, "You said it yourself, so tonight you'll be keeping me company on the second floor."

  What's the big deal about living on the second floor? Jiang Xuanjin didn't think so, following her step by step up, and scanning with a glance.

  Luxurious decorations, lightly lifted pink gauze curtains, pink bed sheets and bedding, the head of the bed even had colorful sachets hanging from it, the air was filled with a strong scent of rouge, it was obviously a boudoir.

  He looked at her silently for a few moments, then cupped his hands and bowed slightly towards Huaiyu: "Excuse me."

  Having said that, he turned his head and thought of going downstairs.

  Li Huaiyu grasped his sleeve in one swift motion and raised an eyebrow: "A gentleman's word?"

  "A fleeting glance." He continued with an expressionless face.

  He burst out laughing. Huai Yu pulled his sleeve over and hugged his arm, coquettishly saying: "It's quite nice here, let's take a break."

  "No."

  "Let me tell you a story!"

  "No."

  "Then, another kiss?"

  “”

  No matter what, Jiang San Gongzi, who had been resisting all along, finally settled down on the second floor and even had a nightmare. In his dream, he became a girl, wearing a pink embroidered skirt, sitting in her boudoir embroidering flowers.

  Embroidered is still a pair of clever Mandarin ducks!

  The next morning, Jiang Xuanjin woke up with a gloomy face and a bad mood.

  "Uncle! Uncle!" Jiang Yan came over early in the morning and said pitifully, "You have to take charge for your nephew!"

  "What?" He glanced over coldly, his tone unfriendly.

  Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, suddenly feeling that he might have entered the wrong door. Standing at the edge of the door with his hands behind his back, he carefully said: "Grandfather had me go out to buy some small things early this morning, and I haven't returned to Kyoto in ages! Where would I know where they sell spinning tops? But he wouldn't listen, insisting on sending me away."

  "Is that all?" Jiang Xuanjin said coldly. "Let the servants in the mansion go buy it."

  Jiang Yan really wanted to cry: "Grandfather said I should go myself, the eyesight of the servants is no good"

  Heaven knows why I still need eyesight to buy a kaleidoscope!

  Li Huaiyu yawned as she came down from upstairs, and saw Jiang Xuanjin sitting with a cold face, while Jiang Yan's face was bitter.

  "Good morning!" She smiled brightly and waved at the two of them.

  "Auntie." Jiang Yan lowered his head and responded in a low voice.

  As she came down, Jiang Xuanjin's expression eased a bit. He turned to Jiang Yan and said, "Let the steward take you there, it's always necessary to give instructions. If you really can't buy it, think of another way."

  "Yes." Jiang Yan bowed to him and then nodded to Li Huaiyu before walking away pitifully.

  "Hai Yu raised an eyebrow: 'You're bullying me?'"

  "It's not me," said Jiang Xuanjin. "It's Father, wanting to buy something for the two little ones to play with, and he got Yan'er to run errands."

  "Oh, it's nothing." Huai Yu waved her hand, "Shouldn't we go have breakfast first?"

  Jiang Xuanjin nodded and reached out to adjust her disheveled collar, leading her outside.

  The result was that before they had gone two steps, they saw Jiang Er Gongzi hurrying along.

  "Where's Second Brother going?" Jiang Xuanjin asked.

  Jiang Sheng turned back and said while walking: "The old master asked me to go to Bu Zhuang, order a few small dresses and bring them back."

  "So early?" Huai Yu said, "Don't you need breakfast?"

  "It can't be used anymore."

  Is it that urgent? Yu whispered, her eyes fixed on him until he disappeared from view, before pulling Jiang Xuanjin to continue towards Hongyuan Pavilion.

  As soon as she entered the gate, Li Huaiyu was startled and jumped back a step, then immediately jumped out again: "What thing!"

  The originally solemn and dignified Hongyuan Pavilion was now in a state of utter disarray. Servant girls were carrying all sorts of small items in and out, thick Persian carpets stretched from the entrance to the main house, looking particularly ostentatious. Household slaves were setting up swings in the courtyard, while nearby carpenters worked on their craft; if she hadn't seen Old Master Jiang inside, she would have suspected that she had entered the wrong door.

  "You're here? Go to the main hall for breakfast, you'll be in the way here." The old man chuckled and hugged the little troublemaker. "Our house now has a young lady, it's not like before!"

  What's so different? Li Huaiyu's mouth twitched violently, and she asked Jiang Xuanjin in a low voice: "Your father really won't spoil the child rotten?"

  "The boy won't." Jiang Xuanjin pursed his lips, "The girl is hard to say."

  When Jiang Yan was young, there were only carpets laid out in this courtyard. Now it's better, the children can't even talk yet. The swings have been set up.

  "Old master, no, father." Huaiyu tried to persuade him, "You don't have to make such a big fuss about this. These two children are still young."

  "You can't say that!" The old man hugged the little troublemaker tightly and said seriously, "Girls should be spoiled from a young age, only then will they have high standards. Otherwise, it's easy for them to be deceived by some worthless scoundrel!"

  Holding jade, lost in thought.

  "My princess is meant to be spoiled, and only when she's been spoiled well will she find a husband who loves her more than I do, and won't be deceived by others." The emperor of the past held her in his arms and sat in the Fei Yun Palace, smiling as he said, "My princess is just like this."

  Sunlight from the carved flower window of Feiyun Palace shone in, illuminating her face as she laughed heartily. Her father's face was full of loving kindness, looking at her as if he were gazing at a rare treasure.

  Throat slightly tight, holding jade blinking eyes, nose a bit sour.

  "Three daughters-in-law?" The old man saw that she didn't look quite right, and hastily said, "Was I wrong? If I was wrong, speak up, let's discuss it!"

  Jiang Xuanjin furrowed his brow and strode over to grasp her hand: "What's wrong?"

  Sniffing her nose, Huai Yu smiled with a hint of mischief: "I don't think it's inappropriate, I just think it's pretty good."

  It's been a long time since she heard such words after her father passed away. She didn't think much of it before, but now that she thinks back on it, being deeply loved by one's elders is a rare blessing.
