Chapter 292 Taking care of a baby
The Marquis of Zhongyong's Residence, Jade Pavilion
Pei Rujing had Rui Ge'er brought to the Marquis's residence. Led by Granny Feng, with Dongxiu and Cailing accompanying them, and the wet nurse carrying Rui Ge'er, the group arrived at the Jade Pavilion in a grand procession.
Aunt Chen's gaze was fixed on Rui Ge'er, her eyes filled with excitement and nervousness.
This is her own grandson!
But since Ruige was born, Aunt Chen has only seen him once.
With a smile, Granny Feng said, "The county princess thought that the aunt must miss the young master, so she asked this old servant to bring him here."
She certainly couldn't say that Wen Zongji and Pei Rujing were too busy having dinner together today to take care of the child, so they left their son with his grandmother.
To put it another way, it sounds more respectable and pleasant.
Of course, Aunt Chen didn't care about the reason at all; she just wanted to see Rui-ge'er.
She walked up to the wet nurse and asked, "Can I hold Rui-ge'er?"
The wet nurse instinctively looked at Granny Feng.
When she first met Aunt Chen, she didn't quite know how to treat her.
Granny Feng nodded.
The wet nurse then handed Rui Ge'er to Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen carefully held Rui Ge'er in her arms, looking at his face, which bore a striking resemblance to Wen Zongji's, and her emotions remained unsettled for a long time.
At this moment, Wen Shuyu walked in, paused for a moment when she saw a large group of people in the room, and then her eyes lit up when she saw Rui Ge'er.
Granny Feng and the others greeted her, saying, "Greetings, Second Miss."
Compared to her estrangement from Aunt Chen, Pei Rujing had a better relationship with Wen Shuyu and was closer to her.
Wen Shuyu was quite familiar with Granny Feng and the others, so she nodded and approached Aunt Chen: "It really is Rui-ge'er! Sister-in-law, are you here too?"
She looked around.
Granny Feng said, "The county princess is still at her residence; she just sent the young master here."
"oh."
Wen Shuyu was somewhat disappointed, but then reached out and held Rui Ge'er's little hand: "Rui Ge'er, I'm your aunt."
Rui Ge'er moved his hands and feet and grinned at her.
Wen Shuyu said happily, "Auntie, Rui-ge'er smiled. He must be happy to see me."
Aunt Chen nodded, looking at Rui Ge'er with affection.
The mother and daughter then talked to Rui Ge'er, occasionally asking Granny Feng about Rui Ge'er's condition.
Upon learning that Wen Zongji had recently been teaching Rui Ge'er to roll over, Wen Shuyu became interested: "I'll give it a try."
After saying that, he put Rui Ge'er on the bed.
Then, Wen Shuyu paused, turned her head and asked, "Auntie, what's the next step?"
Aunt Chen chuckled: "You don't know anything, yet you want to try? Rui-ge'er is still young, he doesn't understand anything now. If you want to teach him to roll over, you have to let him watch you roll over first."
Wen Shuyu nodded: "Understood."
Then, she lay down next to Rui Ge'er: "Rui Ge'er, look at me—"
Seeing Rui Ge'er looking over, Wen Shuyu immediately rolled over.
Then he immediately turned to look at Rui Ge'er.
We saw Rui Ge'er giggling and shaking his hands and feet, very active.
Wen Shuyu frowned: "Why is Rui-ge just laughing and not following suit?"
Aunt Chen said, "I've already told you he doesn't understand anything right now. You need to do it a few more times. The more he sees, the more he might learn from it."
"oh."
Wen Shuyu seemed to understand, but not quite, and then continued to turn over.
This happened countless times. Rui watched with great interest, his little hands never leaving his body, but he showed no sign of trying to roll over even once.
Wen Shuyu was completely exhausted: "Auntie, are you sure you're not torturing me?"
Aunt Chen pursed her lips: "Rui-ge'er is still young. He'll naturally learn it when he grows up a bit more."
Wen Shuyu was stunned when she heard this: "Why didn't you say so sooner, Aunt?"
This made her look like a fool just now.
Rui Ge'er is only three months old; normal babies can roll over at four or five months.
Of course, there are babies who can roll over at three months old, but they are not many.
After Wen Zongji and Pei Rujing personally taught him once, they stopped insisting on it and simply had the maids continue teaching him every day.
Now Wen Shuyu is also experiencing this powerlessness.
Aunt Chen picked Rui Ge'er up again: "Just consider it as playing with Rui Ge'er."
Wen Shuyu was stunned.
Is it true that once a grandson is born, the daughter no longer loves him?
Seeing Wen Shuyu get up, Dongxiu came over and said, "This servant will help the second young lady redo her hair."
After tossing and turning in bed so many times, Wen Shuyu's hair was already a mess.
Wen Shuyu nodded.
Sitting on the dressing table, Dongxiu first took apart Wen Shuyu's previous hairstyle: "Before coming here, the county princess instructed me to tell the second young lady that she can visit the county princess's mansion at any time."
Wen Shuyu nodded: "I will go."
Over time, she has become less reserved than before.
The reason I haven't been there for over a month is mainly because I've been writing a storybook.
Her storybook received a very good response, and Wen Shuxuan directly commissioned her to write more, and as her elder sister, urged her to write a new storybook as soon as possible so that the supplement would not have no articles to use.
Wen Shuyu has been rushing to finish her manuscript for more than a month.
Writing a storybook isn't something you can just start writing as soon as you pick up a pen. Conceptualizing the storybook takes a lot of time, but actually writing it is much faster.
The deadline set by Wen Shuxuan for submitting the manuscript is fast approaching, and Wen Shuyu needs to finish the manuscript before she has time to visit the county princess's mansion.
She didn't even join a mahjong club, which shows how busy she is.
However, because of writing storybooks, Wen Shuyu earned a large sum of money and became much wealthier.
For Pei Rujing's birthday this year, she gave her a carefully selected gift. Although it was expensive, Wen Shuyu was very happy to buy the gift for Pei Rujing herself.
……
The banquet at the county magistrate's mansion lasted until dusk. After lunch, they gathered together to play "Barbarian Kill". Except for Pei Shirong, who was simple-minded but physically strong, everyone else was very familiar with the rules of "Barbarian Kill" and played it in countless ways.
Pei Shirong, whose thinking was relatively simple, was completely fooled and eventually couldn't believe a single person.
When he left the county magistrate's residence, his gaze toward Mei Yilan was filled with resentment.
Mei Yilan suppressed a laugh: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Pei Shirong immediately accused him: "How dare you say that? You're the one who lied to me the most! I trusted you so much, how could you betray my trust?"
Mei Yilan looked completely innocent: "But everyone's lying, that's just the nature of this game."
Pei Shirong choked: "So you can also fool me like I'm an idiot?"
Doesn't he have any self-respect?
Having been married for a long time, Mei Yilan had long understood his temperament and skillfully smoothed things over: "I was wrong, my husband is very magnanimous, please forgive me?"
Pei Shirong's expression softened: "It's only because I'm magnanimous that I won't hold it against you."
"Yes, yes, my husband is the most generous."
The two chatted for a while before boarding the carriage to return to the Duke's mansion.
Pei Shizhao and his wife were going to pick up their son from the Princess first, and they did not travel with them.
the other side
Wen Zongji and Wen Zongqi returned to the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence together; he wanted to bring Rui Ge'er back.
"Now that you're engaged, act like a man and don't take out your frustrations about your mother on the girl."
Wen Zongqi looked helpless: "Third Brother, how could I possibly do something so ill-mannered?"
Jiang doted on Wen Zongqi, but she never failed him on matters of principle, nor would she tolerate his mistakes in his conduct.
It can be said that Wen Zongqi indulged in eating, drinking, and having fun, and lacked ambition, but his character was not problematic.
Wen Zongji patted him on the shoulder: "I believe in you."
