Wearing a velvet hat on his head, a jacket on his body, and a pair of large-toe cotton shoes on his feet, only his innocent and thick little face was exposed.
There were a few snowflakes floating on the pink-carved jade nose, and with the bloated clothes, it swayed from side to side when walking, looking inexplicably funny.
"This is my son?" Xia Shang looked confused.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the boy who was holding the door from the carriage had not stepped firmly and actually fell from the carriage into the snow.
This made everyone jump, and everyone around them rushed forward. Even Yazhi, who was next to Xia Shang, lost her umbrella and rushed into the crowd regardless of Xia Shang.
Xia Shang was not worried. With the thickness of the boy's clothes, there would be no problem even if he fell on a steel plate, not to mention falling in the snow.
"Quick...quick...get out of the way, let me see!"
Yazhi was still very nervous. After pushing through everyone, she hugged the child over and turned around to yell at the servants around her: "What did you do? I just walked away for a while and the young master fell."
"Little girl...little girl...I need to pee!"
The boy's face turned red and he looked like he couldn't hold it in any longer.
When Yazhi saw it, she quickly shouted: "Don't be impatient, hold it back. I'll take off your pants, little girl."
This kid was so thickly dressed that he couldn't even touch the waistband of his pants with his own hands, so he had to have help from others.
Xia Shang watched all this blankly, and the meeting with his son seemed not to go according to the script he imagined. Until now, his son didn't even notice him.
Yazhi worked for a long time and finally took off the boy's pants, but before she could let go, she heard the boy cry: "Wow... I can't hold it in anymore."
Suddenly, a column of heat shot up into the sky, and the crowd exploded.
…
Not long after, the team set off again.
Xia Shang's carriage led in front, and Xia Shang looked at the snowy scene outside the carriage.
My son was in the car behind, with Yazhi.
Yazhi's face was still as dark as a cloud and she said nothing.
The boy who had changed into new clothes was jumping up and down in the car, looking left and right. Although he knew that the car in front of him was his father, he didn't say anything about his father during the whole journey.
"Mom, you smell so bad." Suddenly, the boy said with disgust in front of Yazhi.
This made Yazhi so angry that she almost lost her breath. She glared at the boy angrily: "If you say one more thing, believe it or not, your butt will blossom."
The boy was startled, quickly covered his mouth, sat aside and stopped moving.
Yazhi felt bitter, thinking that she had dressed up specially to see the master.
The result was good, as soon as they met, the little ancestor gave him a puddle of boy urine, which made him miserable. His whole body was smelly, and he couldn't change his clothes. He just felt uncomfortable all over.
…
After walking for half an hour, the team finally arrived at the door of the house.
Yazhi was the first to come out, hugged the child and gave it to Xia Shang, and then rushed into the yard in a panic. On the way, she met Li Xiaoxin without saying a word.
Li Xiaoxin looked at Yazhi's panic and came to Xia Shang with some curiosity: "Ms. sir, this is..."
"My maid Yazhi."
"Servant riding in a sedan? Are you so rude?"
"Just get used to it. The Xia family has never valued etiquette. And she...is not an ordinary maid."
"Not an ordinary maid?" Li Xiaoxin smiled knowingly, "Look at her appearance, she shouldn't be an ordinary maid."
"Yes!" The boy in Xia Shang's arms shouted, "That's my little girl."
The boy's voice was crisp and powerful, and Li Xiaoxin's eyes were immediately attracted to him.
"Then who are you?"
"I am……"
"Let me guess." Li Xiaoxin pretended to hesitate, "You look like a flower and are prettier than girls. You should be our young master Xia Guang, right?"
"Hey...who are you?"
"I should also be considered your little wife."
"Are you the girl who lives in the palace that my mother said?"
"Yes, it turns out your mother has already told you."
Unexpectedly, the expression of the baby in Xia Shang's arms became serious, and it was struggling to come down.
Xia Shang didn't know what he was asking for, so he had to put him down. Unexpectedly, this kid immediately bowed to Li Xiaoxin respectfully: "Hello, mother."
Not only Xia Shang, but also Li Xiaoxin was frightened by this boy's solemn bow.
Li Xiaoxin crouched down and looked at Xia Guang: "My child, what's wrong with you?"
"My mother said that when we get to the capital, you will be my mother, Xia Guang. I want Xia Guang to treat you the same way I treat my own mother."
"My child, don't be so reserved. This little lady of yours is not cruel."
Xia Guang blinked, not knowing what to say, and reached out to grab the velvet hat on his head.
When the servants saw it, they quickly came up to stop them: "Young Master, what are you trying to do?"
Xia Guang pouted: "I'm hot!"
"This can't be done. The capital city is not Suzhou. The weather is very cold. Madam has repeatedly warned me not to catch a cold."
"But I'm hot!"
Xia Guang's face was gloomy, and he looked pitiful.
"Go and change the young master into lighter clothes." Xia Shang said.
The servants were a little embarrassed: "But..."
"But what? Children are already very angry, and you wrapped them up into rice dumplings."
The master has spoken, and the servants can only follow suit.
The two maids took Xia Guang inside, and Xia Shang ordered the servants to start packing the things they brought with them.
After returning home, Xia Shang was sitting in the hall, holding a cup of tea in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
Because of the child's appearance, Xia Shangquan forgot about today's danger, thinking only that although they had only seen the child, they had not really talked to each other.
I have never heard this child call "Dad" with my own ears.
Xia Shang didn't dare to think about how he felt when he heard the word "Dad".
"Ms. sir, you don't care about this child when he comes. What's the point of sitting here in a daze?"
"Li Xiaoxin, what do you think of being a father? Am I a bit unreliable?"
Li Xiaoxin smiled sweetly: "One day I will come and ask my husband how to be a good mother. Does your husband know how to answer?"
"Well..." Xia Shang frowned, "I'm just a little at a loss!"
"The dignified leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not afraid of any danger, but he was made at a loss by a child."
Just as he was talking, Yazhi walked in with her children.
I saw that the child had changed into light clothes and was walking over with a cup of tea in his hand, for fear of accidentally dropping it again.
Before Xia Shang could understand, he saw the child in front of him and knelt on the ground with a thud: "Father, here I am, the child is serving you tea."
Serve tea?
Xia Shang was stunned and looked at Yazhi.
"This child has never seen his father until he has grown up. Now of course he has to make up for it with some etiquette. Master, drink the tea quickly. It will satisfy Xia Guang's filial piety." (To be continued)
