Jia Yao and Lin Jinyu were nestled in Jia Zhen's arms.
At this moment, Xia Lu came over with a cup of herbal tea.
"Uncle She, you're here? Are you here to see Lian 'er? "Xia Lu looked at Jia Xie with a smile.
"I'm here to see Zheng 'er about something.
Zheng 'er's wife has been taking care of Lian' er. Sorry to trouble you. "Jia Xie was a little embarrassed. To be honest, he was still too careless as a father. He was not as attentive as a woman.
"It's no trouble. Lian 'er is very obedient," Xia Lu said.
Jia Lian, who was nestled in Jia Xie's arms, puffed out his small chest to show that he was so outstanding.
Jia Yao and Jin Yu, who were in Jia Zhen's arms, were dissatisfied. The two of them pouted.
They were also very good.
Xia Lu looked at the three little radishes.
She smiled. Suddenly, she remembered a modern variety show game to cultivate the relationship between father and son.
She said, "Uncle She.
You're not busy right now, are you? "
Jia Xie shook his head.
He was not very busy.
"Lian 'er and the others are here. Let's play a game with them," Xia Lu said with a smile.
Jia Zhen raised his eyebrows.
He looked at Jia Xie. He would not lose.
He was provoked by Jia Zhen's gaze.
The flames of war were also burning behind Jia She.
In front of his son, he would not lose.
Xia Lu asked Zi Yuan to bring two hats and put them on Jia Zhen and Jia Xie's heads. Then, he asked Jia Zhen and Jia Xie to lift the two children up and let them sit on their shoulders. Then, Jia Yao and Jia Lian went to grab each other's hats. The winner would win. The winner would compete with Jin Yu.
Jin Yu was eager to give it a try, but his eyes were wide open as he watched the battle between Jia Yao and Jia Lian. Jia Yao and Jia Lian looked at each other, the flames of battle burning in their eyes.
"Ready, start!" Xia Lu ordered. Jia Yao and Jia Lian began to test each other's strength. Jia Zhen and Jia Xie were below, supporting the two children. The two children were about the same age, and they knew each other very well. For a moment, they were evenly matched.
When Jia Jing returned to the mansion, she suddenly saw that the servants in the mansion were in an uproar. They all ran to the Sakura Temple. Jia Jing felt strange and pulled a servant to ask what was going on.
"Young Master Lian and Young Master Yao are competing against Master She from Xi Province and our master," the servant said.
Jia Jing raised her eyebrows. Competition? "What competition?"
"I don't know." The servant was a little embarrassed. It had just been his turn to watch, and they hadn't reached the Sakura Temple yet.
Jia Jing's interest was piqued. He also followed the servant to Fallen Flower Courtyard. With a glance, he saw that there were a lot of people in Fallen Flower Courtyard. Some of them supported Jia Yao, while some supported Jia Lian. They were all trying their best to speak words of encouragement. Jia Jing looked at his youngest son, who was doing his best to fight on his elder brother's shoulder. He felt very comforted in his heart. If his wife was still here, she would be happy to see Yao 'er and Zhen' er getting along so well.
"Watch out!" Jia Yao tried to snatch the hat from Jia Lian's head. She was very serious and had already forgotten the voices around her.
"I'm coming!" Jia Lian didn't want to be outdone, and the two of them were locked in a fierce battle.
Suddenly, Jia Yao made a fake move. She didn't fool Jia Lian, and instead, Jia Lian seized the opportunity to snatch the hat from Jia Yao's head.
"Hahaha, I won!" Jia Lian smiled.
Xia Lu also smiled and announced, "Lian 'er won three out of five rounds. Yao' er, you have to continue to work hard next time."
Jia Yao was a little depressed. At this time, Jia Zhen put her down and patted her head. He said gently, "There's still a next time."
"Okay." Jia Yao nodded firmly.
"Okay, next up is Lian 'er against Jin Yu. Lian' er, don't underestimate your opponent," Xia Lu said.
"Okay." Jia Lian nodded firmly.
Jia Zhen lifted Jin Yu up and placed him on his shoulder, while Jia Xie lifted Jia Lian up again.
Xia Lu smiled as he looked at the two little radishes. Jin Yu was younger than Yao 'er and Lian' er, and Lian 'er had just fought three rounds with Yao' er. At this time, she was exhausted. Fighting Jin Yu again wouldn't be considered bullying.
"Okay, get ready. Begin!" Xia Lu ordered again. Jia Lian and Jin Yu began a new round of battle.
Although Jia Lian and Jia Yao had used up a lot of energy during the battle, they should be evenly matched against Jin Yu, who was one year younger than him. However, Jia Lian was actually suppressed by Jin Yu. This made Xia Lu very surprised.
In the end, it was one to three, and Jin Yu won. Not only was Xia Lu surprised, but Jia Xie and Jia Zhen were also very surprised. This child really hid his strength well.
Jia Jing walked in and clapped his hands.
"Old Master, why are you here?" Jia Zhen saw Jia Jing and was a little embarrassed. He was already so old, yet he was still fooling around with these little brats. He couldn't help but blush. Jia Xie and Jia Zhen were similar. They felt like they had done something bad and were caught by Jia Jing.
"I heard from the servants that you are organizing a competition, so I came to take a look." After saying that, he ignored Jia Zhen and Jia Xie. Instead, he squatted down and looked at the three little radishes. He said, "Yao 'er, Lian' er, and Jin Yu have all performed well today. They are brave and resourceful, so they should be rewarded. How about I reward each of them with a set of the Four Treasures of the Study?"
"Thank you, Uncle."
"Thank you, Old Master."
The three little radishes thanked him.
Jia Jing patted Jin Yu's head and asked, "Jin Yu, did you see your Brother Lian's movements clearly?" Jia Jing was a little curious. This child won too easily.
Jin Yu shook his head and said, "Brother Lian likes to use this hand, but he doesn't really use this hand. I've been snatching hats over here, so it's very easy to snatch them," Jin Yu answered very seriously.
Jia Jing smiled and said, "That's great." As expected of a child of the Lin family. His observation was very detailed. This child must have noticed when Lian 'er and Yao' er were snatching hats.
"I'll be leaving first. Take good care of the three children," Jia Jing said.
"Yes."
After sending off Jia Jing, Jia Xie was completely relaxed. His body was originally not as strong as Jia Zhen's, but Jia Zhen had persisted in practicing martial arts all these years and didn't go to the battlefield, so his body was very good. Jia Xie was different. He lived like a prince, and Jia Lian was more than four years old. Because he was well taken care of, although he was still a child, he was still quite heavy. In the last round, Jia Xie simply gritted his teeth and held on. After all, he couldn't let his child see his incompetent side. Thinking of this, Jia Xie was a little envious of Jia Zhen. He wondered if he should find a martial arts master to teach him martial arts. If there were such activities in the future, he wouldn't have to work so hard.
"Uncle She, are you staying for dinner or going back to Xi Province?" Jia Zhen asked.
"Let's go back to the West Residence." He was going to find a doctor in the residence to ask for two sets of ointment. Today, he was really too tired. He didn't know if he would be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
"Okay." Jia Zhen didn't continue to persuade him to stay. They were all family. If Uncle She wanted to stay, he would definitely stay. If he didn't want to stay, then forget it. There was no question of whether he should give face or not.
"Father, bye." Jia Xie knew that Jia Xie was going to leave, so he waved his hand at Jia Xie. He wasn't disappointed at all.
"Bye." Jia Xie didn't know where Jia Lian learned this from. Anyway, he would do whatever Jia Lian did.
After Jia Xie left, Xia Lu said with a smile, "Okay, little babies, go take a bath first and then have dinner." After playing for so long, they were all sweaty. They had to change quickly in case they sweated and caught a cold. In ancient times, antibiotics were not known. In an era where people could die from a small cold, it was better to be careful for their own lives.
"Okay." Jia Yao's nanny came up and took the three little masters away.
"Okay, you go take a bath too," Xia Lu said to Jia Zhen.
"Okay, you can scrub my back." Jia Zhen held Xia Lu's hand and walked to the bathroom in the house.
When the two of them went to the bathroom, they naturally had to have a good time. Therefore, the two of them applauded for love. They couldn't control themselves and missed dinner. The three little children could only eat by themselves first. When Xia Lu and Jia Zhen came out, the lights were already on. The two of them were hungry and swept the food on the table like a hurricane.
When Jia Xie returned to the mansion, he directly sent his servant to find a doctor and ask for two ointment for his bruises.
"Master, what happened?" Seeing that Jia Xie asked for the ointment as soon as he came back, Madam Jia Feng was really worried.
"It's nothing. I just played with Lian 'er in Xi Province. After all, I'm old and my body is not as strong as before. I'll be fine after a few days of rest." Jia Xie didn't care very much. Today's fun with Jia Lian was the happiest day he had ever had since he left the Jia Chang Clan.
Madam Jia Feng's eyes darkened and she couldn't help touching her belly. Her body was fine, but she couldn't get pregnant. When she went to the palace to pay her respects, her elder sister asked the imperial physician to check her body, but the physician didn't find anything wrong. Madam Jia Feng was really anxious. Should she listen to her elder sister and cultivate their relationship while Jia Lian was still young? Or should she listen to her mother and promote the maidservant beside her to become her master's concubine?
"Master, do you need me to give you a massage?" Madam Jia Feng asked.
"No, it's not a big deal. With your little strength, you just feel itchy. By the way, it seems that you haven't paid your respects to the Empress for a long time. Go and pay your respects to the Empress tomorrow. Prince Zhongshun has been coming over often these days, and I have forgotten about it," Jia Xie said.
Madam Jia Feng immediately understood what he meant and said, "It's true that I haven't paid my respects to my elder sister for a long time. Tomorrow, I'll go to the palace to pay my respects to her."
"Well, thank you, Madam," Jia Xie said.
"Master and I are husband and wife. You don't have to thank me," Madam Jia Feng said with a smile. In fact, she felt that she was very lucky to marry into the Jia family. Although she had dreamed of being a scholar and a beauty, the reality made her marry a widower. However, she was still lucky. Her husband was considerate and didn't have many concubines in the house. He never spoiled his wife and neglected his concubines. Moreover, her Husband's status was noble and he was now a Marquis. As soon as she married him, she was in charge of the household's funds. Although the son of his ex-wife was in the way, she still had her elder sister to rely on. As long as she could delay it until the Retired Emperor and the old Duke Rongguo passed away, her life was relatively easy compared to those little sisters.
