Although winter has entered, the weather is very sunny.
Huo Tian came in from outside. As soon as he entered the courtyard of the main house, Brother Zao rushed over like a little pony.
He called daddy in his mouth and pricked his two little hands.
Because he ran so fast, his tiger head hat was a little crooked.
Huo Tian grabbed him with his big hands, picked him up, and then let him sit on his shoulders.
Not only was Brother Zao not afraid, but he became even happier, and his laughter spread throughout the yard.
"The eldest young master is so smart. He can tell by looking at Ri Ying'er that the father-in-law is coming back soon." Huo Zao's nanny said with a smile, "I won't stay in the house no matter what."
"The weather is nice. It's time to let him go out and play. He will easily get sick if he stays indoors all the time." Because Huo Zao was always squirming and unable to sit still, Huo Tian put him down again.
He held it horizontally with one hand and patted his butt with the other hand, making Huo Zao scream and laugh.
Seeing that he was about to turn three years old, his eyebrows had grown a lot, and he looked almost like him.
"Be good, let's go see your mother and brother." The first thing Huo Tian did when he got home was to see his wife and children.
Today, Huo Zao is somewhere between sensible and ignorant. He is afraid that he will go in and yell and scare his sleeping son, so he has to warn him in advance.
"Brother is awake!" Huo Zao blinked his star-like eyes and said, "He wet the bed, daddy is going to spank him."
Huo Tian was amused by him. This was what he was saying to scare Huo Zao. The three-year-old child should learn not to wet the bed.
But the younger son is not yet one month old, and he will have to pee for a few more years!
Huo Huotian carried his eldest son into the house, took off his outer clothes in the outer room, waited for a while to get rid of the coldness on his body, and then went to the inner room.
The younger son Huo Ji woke up and had put on a clean diaper.
His eyes couldn't see far yet, and his face had a look of confusion unique to babies.
But it can be vaguely seen that he looks more like Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan was lying on the bed. She hardly went to the ground during her confinement period.
But she is always clean and fresh, her hair is tied up high, and her face looks like a newly bloomed hibiscus flower.
A little plumper, but also more bright and attractive.
Seeing Huo Tian come back, she smiled and asked, "They said the weather outside is nice today. Didn't my father-in-law go out for a horse ride?"
Huo Zao had already kicked off his shoes and ran to the bed.
He lay side by side next to his younger brother, and stretched out his hand to press Huo Ji's furry little face.
Jiang Nuan gently held his hand, put it to her mouth and kissed it.
Huo Zao immediately felt at ease.
"I'm not busy with work today, so I can come back early to stay with you." Huo Tian said and sat on the bedside, "Does your lower back still hurt today?"
"Originally nothing happened." Jiang Nuan said, "I think it's because I sat for a long time in the past two days. I just need to lie down more in the past two days and I'll be fine."
"You may have caught a cold during delivery. This is no joke." Huo Tian said distressedly, "Although we have asked a doctor to see you and prescribe a prescription, it may not be able to cure the problem."
On the day she gave birth to her baby, Jiang Nuan went out in a carriage and almost didn't give birth in the carriage.
I hurriedly returned to my house, and within the time of burning incense, the baby was born.
Huo Tian looked at her and decided not to tell her the news he received today.
Jiang Yinzhi died in the exile camp, and someone was sent to deliver a letter. After all, he was Huo Tian's father-in-law.
Huo Tian sent someone there to take care of Jiang Yinzhi's funeral, and Yanming buried him there.
Although Jiang Nuan's mother was his first wife, Jiang Yinzhi had never been devoted to her.
Besides, Jiang Yinzhi was already a sinner and was not worthy of being buried with Jiang Nuan's mother.
But the Meng family belongs to a place where the dead have no burial. There is not even a grave, let alone a joint burial.
"I can't go out now. The day after tomorrow is the day when Sister Chunjun's third brother will get married.
You must go when the time comes, don’t forget.”
"Okay." Huo Tian nodded in agreement, "I'll remember it."
At this time Huoji began to purr like a kitten.
Huo Tian put her fingers on his face, and he immediately turned around and opened his mouth to look for her.
"How can this child eat so well? He only had one meal of milk before going to bed." Jiang Nuan knew that his little son was hungry again, so he called the wet nurse over.
The wet nurse quickly came in, picked up the baby, and moved behind the screen to feed him.
"I heard that the Tibetan envoy came to propose marriage." Jiang Nuan let Huo Zao rest on the pillow, and then asked Huo Tian, "If we get married, there will be no need to fight."
"That's what happened, but we haven't decided which clan daughter to marry yet," Huo Tian said.
"You won't marry the princess off, right?" Jiang Nuan asked.
"The Tubo envoy said that he wants to marry the princess." Huo Tian said, "It's just that there is only one princess of the right age. I don't know if the emperor is willing to marry her."
"That should be the third princess born to Feng Zhaoyi." Jiang Nuan said, "Feng Zhaoyi must be reluctant to part with her."
But she also knew that it was useless whether Feng Zhaoyi wanted to let it go or not, because it was not up to her to make the decision at all.
"Master, I don't understand the affairs of the court. I just want to ask, in your opinion, is it better to marry a princess, or just marry an ordinary clan girl?" Jiang Nuan asked.
"Tubo has never been very peaceful. Even if they form an alliance temporarily, there is no guarantee that they will not have different intentions," Huo Tian said with a sigh, "Although the Huns have retreated to Mobei, they are still eyeing them and will come back sooner or later.
From my point of view, in as short as five years or as long as ten years, there will be another fierce battle between us and the Huns.
If Tibet can help at that time, it will be easier."
"The Tubo sometimes relied on the Huns." Jiang Nuan once heard her grandmother say.
"Yes, because of this, we must try our best to win over Tubo." Huo Tian said.
"Then I understand." Jiang Nuan nodded.
"The father-in-law is back, Ah Nuan, it's time to eat." Jiang Nuan's aunt Yu Hanying walked in with a smile. She has been taking care of Jiang Nuan here since the day she gave birth to the child.
Huo Tian hurriedly stood up and called his aunt. Behind Yu Hanying were two maids, holding two food boxes.
During confinement, she has to eat four or five meals a day, and this is Jiang Nuan's second meal.
"Brother Zao, be good, let your aunt hold you and feed you." Yu Hanying brought Huo Zao over. There was a meal specially prepared for him in the food box.
Goat milk steamed buns, pheasant leg meat, and a bowl of vegetable porridge.
"Auntie, let him eat by himself!" Jiang Nuan said, "You have spoiled this child rotten."
"Hey, don't even look at how big he is." Yu Hanying said, kissing Huo Zao's little face lovingly, "Now that you have another one, you can't leave him alone, it will hurt more."
With her taking care of her, Jiang Nuan would be the same even without a mother.
Jiang Nuan was even more grateful to Huo Tian for bringing her aunt's family to the capital so that she could have elders who knew how to deal with it.
