The baby was born at full term in May of the following year.
It's a little daughter.
On the day the little daughter was born, good news came from Qialingtai County. The warriors of the Zhou Dynasty defeated the Xirong army. The Rong army surrendered and asked for peace, and was willing to pay tribute for a hundred years.
The emperor was overjoyed and gave it a special name: "Fuyao", which means "in times of peace and prosperity, Fuyao is the leader".
The former Hualang Xie Yanxing and the Xie family master pouted at this.
Qin Baishuang saw the expression of Patriarch Xie, who was born not to laugh, and said, "Master Xie, congratulations, you are now a grandfather. Please give our precious granddaughter a name too."
"How glorious it is to be given a name by the Holy Spirit. This child is blessed."
Xie Yanxing waved his hand and left, walking back to the study without saying a word.
Xie Yanxing returned to the study and took out the copybook on the desk. On the latest page, there were two strong and powerful characters written on it: "Wu Yu"
‘Fuyao’ is not as good as ‘Wuyu’.
snort!
As soon as Qin Baishuang entered the door, she heard Xie Yanxing's cold snort and couldn't help laughing.
"There is no rule in the world that a person can only have one name. The children of our Xie family, the direct granddaughter of the Xie family, should be chosen by you no matter what."
"How about 'Wu Yu'? It's taken from 'Wu Yu in the West, giving one peace of mind'."
Xie Yanxing said, as if he just happened to remember and picked one casually. He didn't start thinking about it a few months ago. He picked more than a dozen but felt it was not good. He thought about it and finally selected it. It was not.
Qin Baishuang saw through it without saying anything and nodded.
"Master Xie took it very well."
As a result, little Fuyao soon had a second name, 'Xie Wuyu', to which Xie Yuan curled his lips.
"Otherwise, General Xie, why don't you take one too?" Qiao Yin asked, looking at Xie Yu'an who looked unhappy beside him.
Xie Yuan shook his head: "Forget it, I'm afraid I'll knock my daughter out."
Qiao Yin laughed out loud, and Xie Yuan leaned over and kissed her tired face.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ayin."
Qiao Yin looked at the red blood in his eyes and said, "You have worked hard too."
In the third trimester of pregnancy, Qiao Yin had difficulty moving and was afraid of being served by others. Qiao Yin felt uncomfortable, so Xie Yu'an did his best to take care of her as much as possible, without daring to relax.
Xie Yuan didn't feel it was hard.
Having children is a matter of two people in a family.
……
As the first direct grandchild in the family, Xiao Yu'er's full moon banquet was held in a grand manner, and Qiao Yin was also lenient with this birth gift.
"Is this too much?"
Qiao Yin looked at a pile of land deeds, a room full of gold and jade treasures, and rewards from the palace in front of him, feeling a little at a loss.
Xie Yuan disagreed: "Keep it, our daughter can bear it."
The direct descendant of the first clan, Jin Sun, is the grandson of the Marquis of Jing'an. His father is the general of Dingguo, his uncle is the richest businessman, and his sister-in-law is the future queen. She was given the name by the Holy God as soon as she was born...
Who dares to say that he can't bear it?
Who dares to say that our uncle, the newly promoted mighty general, shot an arrow through his head!
……
Xiao Yu'er was a well-behaved baby in her mother's womb, and she was also very well-behaved after she was born. She grew up as long as she could eat and sleep. She looked the same every day. She was not afraid of being born and giggled when she saw people.
Talk to her as if she understands you, or she may respond with a babbling sound, or give you a saliva bubble.
The little baby who looks like a pink and jade carving has become the heart of the whole family. Needless to say, Qin Baishuang, "good grandson" and "good grandson" must be mentioned eight hundred times a day. Even Xie Ren, a young boy Seeing Xiao Yu'er's heart melting, only Patriarch Xie remained calm and calm.
On weekdays, when everyone gathered around the child, Xie Yanxing just watched from the side without saying anything.
Qin Baishuang complained quite a lot about this.
The head of the Xie family waved his hand: "The little thing is too noisy."
Qin Baishuang didn't force him. When Xie Yuan was young, he was not very close to children.
……
While everyone's attention was on the child, Xie Yu'an stayed with Qiao Yin twice as much.
His love can also be shared with his children, but it will never be without Qiao Yin.
After pushing aside some unnecessary official duties, Xie Yuan went home on time every day. The first thing he did when he got home was to see Qiao Yin, who would also be waiting for him.
Every time Xie Yu'an came back, he would bring her some snacks, such as ice powder, grilled squid, and mutton skewers. They were all things she coveted during pregnancy, but could not eat.
"What did you bring me today?"
She ran into his arms and groped him.
The weather was hot, so Qiao Yin put on light summer clothes, and her body became more plump and slim.
Xie Yuan's throat rolled, and after she groped for a long time on her body, she said: "The caravan from the south sent some lychees and sent them to be chilled. They are not on me."
"I didn't tell you earlier." Qiao Yin stopped ruthlessly after hearing this.
Xie Yu'an was very dissatisfied. He grabbed her shoulders and said with a straight face: "Qiao Yin, you have offended me."
Qiao Yin was stunned, isn't this my line?
"Why, you want to kiss my mouth to bits?" she said provocatively, squeezing her neck.
Xie Yu'an picked her up, put her on the table, and took a bite.
"It's more than just kissing you to death. I want to kiss you to tears. You will tremble when you kiss me, begging for mercy over and over again, and calling me husband-in-law over and over again..."
The fire-like words hit his eardrums, Qiao Yin's ears felt hot, his whole body shivered uncontrollably, and his hands softly wrapped around his neck.
Xie Yu'an kissed her for a long time, pinched her waist, and asked her permission softly.
"The weather is hot. Let's go swimming in the lake tomorrow, okay? Just the two of us."
"Yeah." Qiao Yin responded softly.
The next day, Qiao Yin happily went to the lake with Xie Yu'an. They went happily, but when they came back, they were exhausted, as if they had been dragged to plow three acres of land.
This was not enough. When the two came back, they heard shocking news.
The child is missing.
In the afternoon, the wet nurse went to throw away a diaper, but when she came back, the child was gone.
I searched the house inside and out, but there was no sign of the child.
Xie Yu'an, with a sullen face, arrested everyone in the courtyard for interrogation.
Qin Baishuang also showed a rare anger, "Whoever dares to touch my dear grandson will be beaten to death without even thinking about selling him!"
The servants were all frightened, and a little girl who was sweeping the house whispered: "While taking a nap, I saw Master Xie Ren passing by at the entrance of the courtyard. He seemed to have a big burden hanging on his chest."
Xie Yu'an was exhausted and immediately ordered someone to arrest Xie Ren. Xie Ren was slurping ice powder when he and his bowl were pulled over.
"Ah? I took Xiao Yu'er out to buy a bowl of ice powder, but I sent it back." Xie Ren said with an innocent face.
Xie Ren thought for a while and then said: "I saw Mr. Qiao Hou coming this afternoon. He was sneaky and very suspicious."
Qiao Yin immediately rushed to the Hou Mansion next door without saying anything.
Father Qiao had a baby in his arms, but it wasn't Xie Wuyu, but Qiao Ce, the grandson of Qiao's parents.
Qiao Yin almost cried.
Father Qiao was startled, "Nanny, what's going on?"
Qiao Yin cried: "Xiao Yu'er is gone."
Father Qiao was startled: "Isn't Xiao Yu'er drawing big characters in Master Xie's study?"
"The old fox spent a lot of money, and the little fish crawled on his desk, his hands were full of ink, and he stamped his calligraphy, painting, ancient books, and all his paw prints..."
Qiao Yin's tears were still hanging on her face, and Xie Yu'an didn't react for a while.
Giggles came from the study not far away, and the palm prints of the talented young painter were imprinted from the desk onto someone's spotless sleeves.
Patriarch Xie picked up Xie Wuyu who was playing happily on the table with a look of disgust on his face.
"Youngster, you are even more prodigal than your father."
