Chapter 003: Be Careful, the Heart is Racing

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Hehe, our mother is really interesting! He Yuan clicked her tongue. The young lady, upon hearing He Yuan click her tongue, suddenly remembered that Mrs. He had instructed to administer the calming medicine, but He Yuan showed no signs of being frightened. She laughed and said: "Little round ball, should we still take the calming medicine? It seems that medicine always has a strange taste, and if we can avoid taking it, we certainly should. But if we really don't take it and Mrs. He finds out, there will be trouble. What should we do?" It seems that medicine always has a strange taste, and if we can avoid taking it, we certainly should. But if we really don't take it and Mrs. He finds out, there will be trouble. What should we do?

Hello, these are the weight loss shoes I prepared earlier. The back is high, the front is low, and the shoe upper has massage particles, making them shorter than the usual shoes I wear. Wearing these shoes to walk around the house might help me get rid of this little belly sooner. The lady held a pair of oddly designed embroidered slippers in her hands, and now she slipped them on and walked around the room with her chest out and stomach in, moving with remarkable grace.

The siblings truly resemble their father as if they were cast from the same mold! Relatives, upon visiting for the New Year, looked at the little olive and the small round ball, and all laughed, saying: "This little appearance really makes one unable to resist pinching it. When they grow up, they might be even more handsome than their father!"

What happened? Several people rushed over at the same time. Just then, Sister Gui came in, heard He Yuan's cries, and hurried over like the wind. She snatched He Yuan from Zi Luo's hands, saw that he was wet, and quickly comforted him, saying: "Little darling, let's go change your clothes right away, and then we can come out fresh and clean to see people. Don't cry!"

Oh no, what kind of person am I? If it is discovered that something is amiss, it would be quite troublesome! He Yuan immediately started to play with saliva like Xiao Ganlan. Fortunately, there is a ready-made baby template; otherwise, I really wouldn't know what a baby of this age usually plays with. Oh dear! After He Yuan finished playing with saliva, she turned over and saw Xiao Ganlan sucking her fingers, so she followed suit and began to suck her own fingers.

It is said that Ziluo saw the spring oriole leave and went to speak with Wang Mama, then she held He Yuan horizontally in her arms, extending a hand to caress her small face, her voice slightly infatuated, murmuring: "You are so beautiful that it captivates one's soul and haunts one's dreams, it is just a pity ... ... "

The He family has a family rule that prohibits casually calculating the fate and destiny of descendants. The elder sister smiled and said, "If it were truly calculated, it could only be reported to me in secret; you would naturally be unaware of it."

Indeed, the lady murmured to herself: "Children from good families always take this powder or that powder for no particular reason; their constitutions are much weaker than those of farmers' children. We should not casually use this powder. If the madam asks, just say we took it! Yes, that will do."

Zi Luo was startled by He Yuan's sudden cry, and felt a warm sensation spreading from her chest. Then, a chill ran through her abdomen, as if it had become damp. Looking down, she noticed that water was seeping from the seam of her hand that was supporting He Yuan, with droplets trickling down her waistband and seeping into the hem of her skirt, some already making their way into her embroidered shoes.

Upon hearing the sound, the elder sister came over and saw the dragon and phoenix twins lying side by side, both sucking their fingers in perfect unison. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Little Olive and Little Round Ball truly are dragon and phoenix twins; even their play actions are identical"

Hi, no need to get excited, I have seen someone lift their head up after just one month. He Yuan continued to perform the head lift. Seeing the crowd applaud again, she buried her head in her small fists and refused to lift it. "Mom, my head is so heavy, it gets sore after just a few lifts. Can I let the little brother train instead?" Indeed, modern mothers are fierce; after just over two months, she is already starting training. In the future, when she performs well, she will surely think it is the result of her training. Indeed, modern mothers are fierce; after just over two months, she is already starting training. In the future, when she performs well, she will surely think it is the result of her training. Then she spoke: "Early education should start from infancy!"

Ah! Ziluo's outfit today is newly made, costing half a month's salary, and the embroidered shoes were also crafted after several sleepless nights. I didn't expect them to be ruined by a splash of baby urine, and I couldn't help but let out a scream

Mother, Mother, I am feeling quite bold, so let's forget about this calming powder! If you don't mention it and I don't mention it, who will know whether it has been taken or not? If the lady asks, just say it has been taken, and that will suffice. All medicines have their side effects; we really don't need to take this digestive powder unnecessarily, let alone this calming powder. In her heart, He Yuan fervently hoped that her mother would be in sync with her thoughts and come to the same conclusion.

He Nian sat beside Mrs. He, holding the little olive, listening to the lively banter of the relatives, and couldn't help but chuckle. Unexpectedly, Ziluo, who was serving behind Mrs. He, was secretly watching He Nian. When she saw him smile, she was momentarily taken aback, unable to regain her composure for a long time. The reason was that the bright and new outfit she wore today attracted the little olive to turn its little head and look at her from He Nian's arm.

How wonderful it is to have a modern matriarch, indeed she can be nurtured scientifically and grow up healthily. He Yuanzheng secretly rejoiced, but then heard Chunying come in and quietly ask: "Miss, isn't the young master skilled in calculations and fortune-telling? Why hasn't he helped the children check their fate? In our village, many families take their newborns to the Mazu Temple to have the old immortal calculate their fortunes. I heard the old lady say that when the young lady was little, she also had the old immortal check her fate, and it was said that her destiny was good, able to support her father and brothers, which made everyone cherish her even more. I thought the young master would have done this himself and calculated it early on, but who would have thought that the children have already turned one month old, and not a word has been heard about it."

It turns out that the old master of the He family was the head of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau of the current dynasty, responsible for calendar calculations, observing celestial phenomena, selecting auspicious days, and assessing destiny. Due to his special status, he only performed calculations for the royal family and did not engage in such matters for others, including his own descendants. Members of the He family who wish to know their destiny must study metaphysics on their own, and the old master He would provide appropriate guidance but would not speak explicitly. Although He Nian is also skilled in calculations, he must adhere to family rules and is not allowed to calculate for the descendants of the He family. Of course, intimate conversations between husband and wife, such as when He Nian once calculated for the esteemed lady and said she was expecting twins, would not violate family rules as long as the esteemed lady does not disclose it. If He Nian truly wanted to assess the destiny of the twins, he could only inform the esteemed lady in private and could not speak of it to others. Therefore, the destiny of the twins remains unknown to everyone.

"Mother Wang, we have been extremely careful with the young ladies. Each time, we first dress the young masters and young ladies in thin and breathable belly bands to cover their navels, and only then do we put on their clothes." Chunying understood that what Mother Wang said represented Madam He, so she did not dare to be careless and explained, "When sleeping at night, the young ladies also remind us to pay more attention. They even specially made a kind of thing called a belly band for the young masters and young ladies, which is specifically wrapped around their bellies while they sleep to prevent them from catching a chill."

In contrast to Ziluo's embarrassment, Heyuan was surrounded by a large group of maids and attendants as she returned to her room. Upon entering, the noble lady gave Heyuan a hearty kiss and whispered with a sly smile: "Little Round Ball, well done! Today is clearly the full moon celebration for you and Little Olive. That Ziluo, dressed as she is, is the one who truly resembles a 'full moon.' She deserved to be made to wet herself, so she learns her lesson. Ah ha, my daughter is indeed remarkable; when it's time to act, she acts; when it's time to cry, she cries; and when it's time to wet herself, she does just that!"

Zi Luo stood in the local area, holding her wet skirt, biting her lip in grievance and not daring to speak. At this moment, He Nian also came over upon hearing the noise, secretly exchanging glances with her, yet not daring to make a move. For a moment, she was afraid that her disheveled appearance would be seen by He Nian. Seeing that he did not look over at all, she felt a mix of emotions. After standing there for a while, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she had no choice but to quietly return to her room to change her clothes.

Sister Gui smiled as she picked up the little olive to comfort it, while looking at He Yuan and said in confusion: "Don't you think the little round ball is much softer than the little olive? Its neck hasn't been lifted up until now!"

The spring oriole was playfully teasing He Yuan when she suddenly heard a delicate voice from the side say, "Oh, Sister Chunying, may I give you a hug?" As she spoke, a pair of hands reached over to support He Yuan's little bottom. When Chunying looked up and saw it was Ziluo, she felt it was inappropriate to refuse outright since Ziluo was from Madam He’s household, so she reluctantly let go and cautioned, "Sister doesn’t like to be shaken around, so please be careful!" As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to see Mama Wang holding little Ganlan, reaching out a hand to straighten little Ganlan's clothing, and hurried over to help adjust it.

If I don't look up, will I not get any milk? He Yuan helplessly raised his head slowly, resembling a turtle.

As she passed by the small bed, He Yuan opened her eyes and thought to herself, "I really look good!" However, she heard a sound at the door and turned her head to look. She vaguely saw her father's figure standing there, staring in a daze! Ah ha, the effect of my walking is equivalent to a beauty from my past life strutting in half-height high heels, and I won't stop until I completely mesmerize my father. Hmm, there will definitely be a grand show tonight, my dear heart!

When He Yuan woke up again, she heard the spring oriole laughing and saying: "Miss, this shoe style is quite strange, can it really be worn?"

In June, the dragon and phoenix twins celebrated their one-month birthday. During the celebration, seeing the twins, who were as lovely as jade, the relatives gathered around, exclaiming in admiration, and some could not help but reach out to touch and pinch them.

Should I start crying now to attract someone to save me? He Yuan had not finished considering when suddenly a tightness gripped her lower back, as if Zi Luo's hand was about to pinch down.

What is going on? He Yue's face was stroked, and he felt a chill run down his spine, deeply sensing that Zi Luo was not speaking to him. He couldn't help but slightly open his baby-like eyes to look at her closely. Her clothes were vividly bright in red and green, and her eyes were sparkling and alluring. At this moment, she was speaking, but her expression was extremely strange. Hmm, he vaguely remembered hearing Chun Ying report to his mother that Zi Luo had gone to the study, could it be that this Zi Luo had some special feelings for his handsome father, and was now using him as a substitute to indulge in fantasies? Cold, very cold!

"Hmm, your gaze does not resemble his!" Ziluo murmured again, but suddenly lowered her hand to support He Yuan's small bottom

Mother Wang smiled and said as the spring oriole came to help: "Although it is hot in summer, there is still a bit of breeze in the morning and evening. The clothes you have dressed the young ones in are still too thin. This is careless; I am afraid they might catch a cold!"

He Yuan gradually fell asleep amidst the idle chatter of Gui Jie and Chun Ying. Days passed one after another, and He Yuan gradually became able to turn her head smoothly, roll over, and occasionally listen to the maids gossiping about the affairs of the He family. One day, while she was lost in thought, Chun Ying suddenly said beside her: "Miss, Miss, it seems like the elder sister is daydreaming like an adult!"

Everyone found her words amusing and exaggerated, and they all laughed, exclaiming: "This veil, it should be prepared in advance; they should be wearing it by the age of no more than ten!"

During the New Year celebration, Xiao Ganlan turned its little head and glanced sideways, just in time to catch a glimpse of Ziluo's infatuated gaze, which made it turn its head away in disgust. Ziluo remained in a daze. Guijie, holding a small round ball, sat beside Henian and also noticed Ziluo's unusual behavior. She lifted her head and glanced at Ziluo lightly, observing her bright and fresh appearance, clearly having put in effort into her look, and momentarily turned her head away, no longer looking at her. However, she secretly shot Henian a sideways glance, thinking how he could attract attention just by sitting there, truly a charming anomaly.

"That's not right, that's not right, the little round ball is too delicate!" The elder sister put down the small olive, lowered her head, and said to He Yuan: "Little round ball, we have been together for more than two months, how about we exercise a bit?" Saying this, she carefully turned He Yuan over to lie on the small bed, supported her head, moved her two small fists to the front resting under her cheeks, and shook a small rattle above her head to entice her: "Little round ball, lift your head and see what is making that sound?"

Go ahead and mess around, I want to sleep for a while! He Yuan felt extremely tired and fell asleep shortly after.

Their father is already like this; if he were to be even more handsome, it would be quite something. Dong remarked teasingly from the side: At that time, wouldn't your He family have to prepare two veils for the sons and daughters to wear, so that they wouldn't dazzle people the moment they show their faces

An old maid had already brought a dry little dress and served warm water to the young lady. Due to the heat, the young lady touched He Yuan and noticed her forehead was damp, so she picked her up and sat her aside. First, she helped wash her little face, then cleaned her little bottom, and only then did she help He Yuan change into the dry little dress

The girl, the neck of a baby over two months old is still soft, and it will take some time before they can lift their head. The boy is a bit stronger, which is why he has managed to lift it.

As the gathering came to an end, Miss Gui and Mrs. He were to escort the Dong family and others out, allowing only Chunying to hold He Yuan first

Mrs. He, upon hearing He Yuan's cries and Zi Luo's screams, furrowed her brows and said to Zi Luo: "Sister, today marks her first month; her spirit is not yet fully settled. What if your sudden scream frightens her? If something were to happen to her because of your scare, could you bear the responsibility?" While speaking, she approached He Yuan to soothe her chest and calm her down, then instructed Gui Jie: "Later, when you return, prepare some calming powder for her to take. This matter is not to be taken lightly. Many children have been frightened and end up not sleeping well at night!"

Little Olive heard the voice of the noble lady and thought she was coming to hold him. He made an effort to lift his head, slowly raising it away from the small bed, prompting the crowd to cheer: "Wow, the boy's head is up!"

"Sister has raised her head, sister has raised her head!" The spring oriole and autumn swallow beside her clapped their hands and exclaimed, "Sister is so amazing, it's only been a little over two months, and she has already lifted her head!"

Wow... Dad, Mom, come quickly, someone wants to hurt your precious daughter! He Yuan immediately pouted and began to cry.

Your sister saw He Yuan refusing to look up any longer, so she hurriedly turned her over to lie on her back. Noticing that Xiao Ganlan was still blowing saliva and playing, she smiled and said: "Xiao Ganlan, although you can look up now, you still need to strengthen it a bit!"
