Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 320 Li Ling takes care of the children

 Winter came early this year. Just as it entered, there was a heavy snowfall.

It was the first time for Brother Xuan and Sister Bao to see snow. When they woke up early in the morning and saw the vast white outside through the window, the two little guys started shouting excitedly.

Li Ling was at home during her sleep break today. After coaxing her children to have breakfast, she ordered her wet nurse to put on thick cotton clothes for the children and take them out to play in the snow.

Brother Xuan was lively and active. When he got outside and looked at the novel scenery, his eyes were not enough. He ran around the yard happily. Li Ling was worried that the snow would slip and fall his daughter, so he kept holding her little hand carefully. He led her to walk in the snow.

After a while, Xu Wanning and Pingyang also brought their children to Qingfengyuan. Brother Kun went to the official school to study as usual today. Xu Wanning only brought Sister Zhuang and Brother Pingyang to play with their younger siblings. Pingyang was pregnant, and Sister Qing The baby was held by his wet nurse.

When Sister Zhuang and Brother Heping saw their second uncle and his brothers and sisters playing in the snow, the two children also clamored to follow them in the garden and refused to enter the house.

Jingshu ordered people to carry Sister Qing, who was not yet one year old, onto the warm couch. She personally helped Pingyang sit down on the soft chair next to the fireplace. She said strangely: "You are very heavy now. Why don't you go out on a snowy day without taking it with you?" Serving the maids."

Pingyang sat down on the soft chair and replied with a smile: "I took them with me and kept mumbling in my ears. They don't let me do what I can't do. It made me feel uncomfortable all over. It happened that my sister-in-law came over to see me. I will simply leave them behind and follow my sister-in-law to your place to relax."

Xu Wanning took off her mink velvet shawl and shouted with a smile: "I see that Pingyang is miserable in the house these days. It's snowing today, so I brought her over to taste the plum tea you fried."

Jingshu smiled and replied: "It just so happened that the girls picked plum snow from the garden early in the morning. It's just that Pingyang is taking decoction and medicine, so I may not be able to drink tea."

Pingyang waved his hand and said to Jingshu: "It's okay. Those who want to repair the tire have stopped."

"Stop?" Jing Shu was surprised after hearing this: "Didn't the imperial doctor tell you to keep drinking? Why do you disobey the doctor?"

Pingyang pouted and said, "That medicine is so bitter, I felt sick after drinking it."

Jingshu frowned: "Good medicine tastes bitter, you are a mother, and you are still so disobedient."

Pingyang subconsciously stuck out his tongue, patted his bulging belly, and said coquettishly to his two sisters-in-law: "This child is a good boy. I can eat and sleep now, and I don't feel as uncomfortable as I did a while ago. My dear sisters-in-law, please don't You’re going to nag me to drink that bitter concoction again.”

Xu Wanning said softly: "Looking at Pingyang, his complexion is indeed much better now. Those bitter medicines are indeed difficult to take, so just stop."

Jingshu glared at Xu Naning and told Pingyang, "Then ask Imperial Physician Zhang to come over tomorrow to check your pulse. If the imperial physician insists on taking the medicine, you still can't stop taking it."

Pingyang hurriedly replied: "I know, Second Sister-in-law, hurry up and make some tea for us to drink. I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

The three sisters-in-law were drinking tea and chatting around the fireplace. Li Ling took the children to play in the snow outside, and the joyous laughter of the little ones came into the house from time to time.

Xu Wanning couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that a person with the temperament of my second brother could be so patient with children. Like my uncle, if I ask him to coax the child for a while, he will either find it too noisy or annoying. It is really unreliable at all. "

Pingyang echoed: "Second brother likes children so much. Now that brother and sister are over one year old, why can't second sister-in-law not have another child?"

Of course, Jingshu couldn't tell people that Li Ling didn't want her to have any more children. She just smiled and said perfunctorily: "It's impossible to get pregnant at any time. It depends on fate."

Xu Wanning teased Jingshu to Pingyang: "Your second sister-in-law either doesn't make any noise, and once she does, it's a big deal. Since my second brother likes children so much, it would be better if you give him three more children this time." Pingyang listened. Hearing this, he was amused and giggled.

Jingshu smiled and replied, "Do you think I'm a rabbit? I'll be in the same litter all my life."

Xu Wanning looked in the direction of the door and sighed again: "Since my second brother can be a father like this, what's the harm in having more children?"

As soon as Xu Wanning finished speaking, the little guy's shout came from outside.

"What's going on?" When Xu Wanning heard the child's cry, she stood up in a hurry. She didn't even bother to put on her shawl, so she pushed the door open and ran out. Jingshu put on her cloak and pushed the door open.

I saw Brother Ping and Brother Xuan rolling in the snow and wrestling with each other, while Li Ling was holding Sister Bao and holding Sister Zhuang, standing aside and watching at leisure.

Xu Wanning and Jing Shu ran over one after another and struggled to pull the two little guys away from each other. The two little boys were covered with snow on their bodies and faces, and were in a very embarrassed state. When Erlang saw his mother, he "Wow" started to cry loudly. While crying, he pointed at Sanlang and complained: "Mother, Sanlang hit me, Sanlang hit me."

Brother Xuan is only a little over a month older than Brother Ping, and is now taller than Brother Ping. When he saw Erlang crying, he glanced at his little mouth and said, "You know how to cry, I won't play with you next time." Son."

Jingshu and Xu Wanning used handkerchiefs to pat the snow on the two brothers, and they couldn't help but complain about Li Ling.

Jingshu rolled her eyes at Li Ling: "You took the children to play and saw them rolling like this in the snow. Why didn't you stop them?"

Xu Wanning also echoed: "I have never seen you take care of children like this. When you see the children fighting together, you just stand there and watch."

Sister Zhuang glanced at her second uncle beside her, and complained to her mother and second aunt: "I just saw my brothers fighting, and I wanted to stop them, but my second uncle didn't let me take care of them."

After hearing this, Xu Wanning couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Ling and complained: "This man is really not reliable in raising children."

“Don’t pay attention to him, just take the children inside to warm themselves over the fire and see what this has done.” Jing Shu picked up Brother Xuan and urged Xu Wanning, and they each carried their own sons into the house.

Pingyang saw the two brothers looking so embarrassed, and quickly handed over the dry towel and said in surprise: "Okay, how can it be like this?"

Xu Wanning couldn't help complaining: "It's not this unreliable second brother who is causing trouble."

Jingshu took off her clothes and wiped Brother Xuan's face, while echoing: "He's always like this. It's okay to let her take care of her sister. But if she takes care of her brother, she won't care."

The two were complaining here. Li Ling led Sister Bao and Sister Zhuang into the house. Seeing Jing Shu and Xu Wanning complaining non-stop, he finally couldn't help but said: "Boy, what's the point of rolling around in the snow? It’s worth your fuss, don’t spoil them.”

Jingshu glanced at Li Ling and couldn't help complaining: "How can you take care of children like you? You won't care if they fight together."

Xu Wanning also rolled her eyes at Li Ling and sighed: "That's right, it's really unreliable."

Li Ling, however, looked indifferent and replied: "If they have fought enough, they will stop fighting. What do you care what they do? If we pull away this time, we won't be able to guarantee that they will fight again next time. Let them just fight." That’s enough.”
