The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 395 Don’t want to get close to him

Author: Que Nanzhi

The Dragon Boat Festival is the most important festival in Daqi, where people worship gods and ancestors, pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, the nobles of Daqi would gather on the Quhe River in Xicheng to watch dragon boats and put out river lanterns to pray for blessings.

On this day, Xu Wanning and Ping Yang came to Qingfeng Garden. The three sisters-in-law sat on the porch to bask in the sun, sipping fragrant tea, and discussing together how the whole family would celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival this year.

The three of them were chatting in great interest when Li Ling came back on horseback with his two children. The three of them returned to Qingfeng Garden sweating profusely.

As the saying goes, there is no father and no son. Under the guidance of Li Ling, Brother Xuan and Sister Bao learned to ride horses in less than a few months. Now the two little guys are at their most addictive. After all, the children are still young.

, Li Ling didn't trust others to take the children to ride horses, so whenever he had time, he personally protected the two children to practice equestrianism at the school.

As soon as Brother Xuan and Sister Bao entered the yard, they rushed towards Jingshu. Jingshu poured two cups of tea for the children, and the two children drank it all.

Xu Wanning took out a handkerchief and wiped Sister Bao's sweat, complaining: "Tell me about your little girl, how embarrassed she is."

Sister Bao, however, said nonchalantly: "I just like riding horses."

As she said that, she looked at her mother and pouted: "It's just that the pony my father chose for me runs too slow. I don't like it. I want a fast horse, but my father doesn't agree."

Li Ling came over, touched Sister Bao's head, and said with a smile: "You have just learned to ride a horse, and you are still young. You can only ride a pony, otherwise you will fall."

Sister Bao was unconvinced and said, "Then why can my brother ride that fast bay-red horse? Huh! Daddy is partial."

Faced with his daughter's petty temper, Li Ling had his own way of dealing with it. He looked at his daughter and replied: "If Sister Bao can get up at midnight every day to practice martial arts like my brother, my father will also give you a horse like my brother."

A fast horse."

Sister Xiaobao has always loved to sleep on the bed. Every time, Li Ling would coax Brother Xuan to get up after he returned from teaching him martial arts.

It is simply too difficult to get her up early.

Sure enough, after hearing what her father said, Sister Bao lost her temper and just muttered to herself: "I'm still young, how can I get up so early."

Li Ling lowered his eyes and looked at his daughter's coquettish appearance, holding back a smile and said, "Go and ask the wet nurse to help you cleanse your face and change your clothes. Then daddy will take you to the back garden to catch butterflies."

When Sister Bao heard this, she immediately jumped for joy, followed the wet nurse to change clothes, and then jumped up and down and followed Li Ling.

Xu Wanning glanced at the back of Li Ling leaving with Sister Bao, and said with a smile, "I never thought that my second brother would be so patient since he had a child."

Comparing Li Ling's love for his daughter, and thinking of Li Xiang's indifference to his two daughters, Pingyang looked even more envious, and said: "If my third master is half as patient with his children as his second brother, then

I would rather endure hardship than give him more children."

As soon as Pingyang finished speaking, Yuzhu from Xianglinyuan came over and replied to Pingyang: "Madam, Sister Wan woke up from her nap, crying and making trouble, and she insisted on looking for you."

Hearing this, Pingyang stood up with his bulging belly and couldn't help complaining: "This child, even now, can't live without me."

With that said, she said goodbye to Jing Shu and Xu Wanning, held her bulging belly, and hurried back to Xianglin Garden.

Sister Wan has been angry since she was a child. When she returned from Pingyang, she saw her little daughter crying and sweating profusely. She held the child in her arms with distress.

Sister Wan gradually stopped crying under her mother's gentle soothing. Pingyang personally washed her daughter's face and put on her clothes. Then the little one was taken out to play by her wet nurse.

Pingyang came out of Baoxia where her daughter lived and returned to her room. She saw Li Xiang, who was at home in Mu Xiu, leaning on the couch and concentrating on reading a medical book. She couldn't help complaining: "You said you don't know how to coax the child at home.

To make Sister Wan cry like that, you are not very qualified as a father."

When Li Xiang saw his wife complaining, he put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes and replied: "The children have always been close to you, even if I coax them, I can't coax them well."

Pingyang sat down on the soft chair, looked at Li Xiang and retorted: "Children all like to be close to their parents, but you don't coax them to play on weekdays, so they are alienated from you. Look at the second brother

Being so busy, I play with my children whenever I have time, and both children are willing to be close to their father."

"Brother Xuan is only four years old, and his second brother has already taught him martial arts in person. Sister Xiaobao has also been taught by his second brother to be able to control a horse by himself."

After listening to his wife's words, Li Xiang replied with a smile: "Do you also want me to teach the children how to learn martial arts and ride horses? Our two daughters are very timid. They are afraid that they will cry when they see a horse."

After Pingyang heard this, she put down the tea cup in her hand and frowned slightly: "I don't have to teach the children to ride horses and practice martial arts. I just want you to spend more time with the children and get closer to them."

Just as she was talking, the wet nurse brought Sister Qing and Sister Wan into the house. Sister Wan held a small grasshopper in her hand and ran over happily, holding it in front of Pingyang, and said with a smile: "Mother, look,

Sister Lantian caught a little grasshopper for me."

Pingyang was discussing the child with Li Xiang. When she heard this, she smiled at Sister Wan, touched her daughter's head and said, "Mother has already seen Sister Wan's grasshopper. Sister Wan will take it to daddy."

Just take a look."

Sister Wan was only two years old. After listening to Pingyang's words, she turned her head and glanced at her father sitting beside her. Then she turned her head and frowned and asked Pingyang: "Why do you want daddy to see it? Daddy won't like it.

"

Pingyang patiently replied: "How could Daddy not like it? Daddy also likes Sister Wan's little grasshopper."

Sister Wan replied with a dull face: "Daddy doesn't like being pestered by Sister Wan, let alone the little grasshopper."

After hearing what his youngest daughter said, Li Xiang waved to her and said, "Daddy likes Sister Wan. Can Sister Wan come to Daddy and let Daddy give her a hug?"

Seeing this, Sister Wan quickly threw herself into Pingyang's arms and said with a stern face: "Mother, hug me, mother, hug me quickly."

Seeing that his younger daughter refused to look for her, Li Xiang turned to his eldest daughter and said, "Sister Qing, can you come and let daddy hug you?"

Sister Qing stared at Li Xiang for a while, then walked to Pingyang's side like her sister, and muttered to Pingyang: "Mom, daddy is so weird today."

Pingyang hugged his younger daughter and his eldest daughter, and said angrily to Li Xiang: "Look, just because you don't know how to coax your children, now the children are not willing to get close to you."

Li Xiang smiled faintly and replied nonchalantly: "They are still young. When they grow up, they will naturally know how good their father is."
