Chapter 838 Born to Be a Young Master
One o'clock in the morning is the best time for deep sleep of human biological clock. If you miss it, you will have shallow sleep and many dreams in the second half of the night, and you will be exhausted.
But at one o'clock in the morning, Li Ye was muttering with his eyes open.
"Heaven is great, earth is great, there is a night-crying child in my family. If a gentleman recites it three times, he will sleep until dawn. Heaven is great, earth is great."
The words that Li Ye recited are said to be a prescription of "Zhuyou Department" in the thirteen departments of ancient Chinese medicine, which is specially used to treat children crying at night.
Children crying at night has always been a tormenting problem since ancient times. Roosters that do not crow on time can be slaughtered and stewed. If a child tears his throat and howls in the middle of the night, do you dare to poke him with a finger?
Li Ye has been tortured by the three little kids these two days.
The second day Han Chunmei brought Li Youan to the capital, little Youan may suddenly not adapt to the climate and environment of the capital, and he always cries and makes noises at night.
As long as he started crying, Li Ye's daughter Xiaodou'er would probably follow the duet, and his son Xiaobao'er would occasionally follow the trio. The three little guys had to be held by adults and rocked slowly before they would stop crying.
But as soon as they were put down, they would start crying again.
This made Wu Juying, Han Chunmei and Wen Leyu very busy. They fed this one and rocked that one, and got up three or four times a night, and their energy and spirit were all exhausted.
"There is an evil spirit in the house."
Grandma Wu Juying picked up a kitchen knife and went out in the middle of the night. She knew there were several peach trees nearby. According to her, the sunny peach branches could calm the mind and drive away evil spirits, and cutting them back would definitely work.
Li Ye, a D member, was also forced to use the traditional culture of "Tian Huang Huang".
But Li Ye chanted for five minutes in a row, and only fooled the quietest Xiaobao'er to sleep. Xiaodou'er and Xiaoyou'an were full and still cried when they were held.
"Hey, I've read it thirty times, can you two give me some face? If you don't sleep, I'll doubt whether I'm a gentleman or a villain."
"Puff~"
Wen Leyu couldn't help laughing, and then coaxed his daughter to sleep, saying: "People write the Heaven and Earth outside for others to read, it won't work if you read it yourself!"
"Hey, give yourself some psychological comfort! Who is outside to help you read the spell at this time? Come on, give me my daughter, let me rock her for a while"
Li Ye reached out and took Xiao Dou'er, humming a soothing tune, pacing slowly, and rocking slowly.
But after Li Ye rocked for two minutes, Xiao Dou'er still opened his two big eyes and stared at Li Ye blindly.
That's right, the baby who is less than one month old has very poor eyesight and can't see how handsome his father's face is. Isn't it just blind?
Han Chunmei was also rocking Xiao Youan in her arms. Seeing Li Ye's look, she said embarrassedly, "Why don't I move to Zaojun Temple tomorrow! If Xiao Youan cries, Xiao Baoer and Xiao Douer will suffer."
"No, no."
Before Li Ye could speak, Wen Leyu smiled and said, "What kind of child doesn't cry? Xiao Youan just changed the environment, so he can't adapt. He will be fine in a few days."
"I."
Han Chunmei had no choice. She had to help Wen Leyu feed the child and take care of her own son on weekdays. If she lived in Zaoju Temple, it would be inconvenient.
"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, the peach tree branches are here. One for each of you."
Grandma Wu Juying dragged a big branch into the door and chopped off several pieces. Not only did the three children get three branches, but Li Ye, Wen Leyu and Han Chunmei also got a share.
Li Ye looked at the natural and undecorated peach branches and couldn't help laughing and said, "Grandma, is this thing useful?"
"Why not?"
Grandma Wu Juying glared and said confidently, "In the early years, the young masters of landlords wore gold and jade to ward off evil spirits. The poor children of poor families couldn't afford gold and jade, so they put peach wood under their pillows, which worked just as well."
"Gold and jade ward off evil spirits? Hiss. It seems that there is such a saying."
Li Ye realized it later and remembered the saying that "jade can calm the mind."
Wen Leyu blinked and quickly brought a large jewelry box, which appeared in front of Wu Juying and Han Chunmei.
Jade pendants, jade pendants, jade bracelets, jade rings of various colors, styles, and sizes are all jade.
Wu Juying narrowed her eyes, looked at Wen Leyu, and then looked at Li Ye, with sharp eyes.
Han Chunmei's eyes were a little dazed. She had seen rich people in Hong Kong Island and had heard about imperial green and glass-type jade, but she was used to being frugal and Li Kaijian gave her limited pocket money, so she never thought of buying luxury goods.
But now looking at Wen Leyu's box, she suddenly felt that when she was giving birth in the hospital, the old ladies in the next bed showed off to her what kind of rags.
Wen Leyu pushed the jewelry box to Wu Juying: "Grandma, we don't know the rules of the elderly. Please help us see which ones are suitable and pick a few for each of the three children."
"."
Wu Juying raised the corners of her mouth, smiling, while Han Chunmei waved her hands and said: "No, no, peach wood branches are fine. Little Youan just recognizes the bed and will be fine in a few days."
But Li Ye smiled and said: "These are all small things I collected casually in the past. They are not worth much. Grandma, please help me pick a few! I am really afraid of these three little ancestors. People can go without food, but they can't go without sleep!"
"Yes, yes! Grandma, some of these are inlaid with gold and jade. Take a look and see if they are suitable."
“.”
Finally, under Wen Leyu’s persuasion, Wu Juying helped the three children choose three pieces of jade ornaments inlaid with gold and tied them to the three children with red ropes.
Then, Li Ye slept until dawn.
“It’s amazing.”
Li Ye got up refreshed, then thought about it for a while and started to rummage in the cabinet where the collection was kept.
Wen Leyu heard the noise, poked his head out of the bed, and shouted sleepily: "Li Ye, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
Li Ye said: "I also want to find a piece of jade to wear. I remember that we have several pairs of jade. Where did you put them?"
Wen Leyu turned over and said: "I kept those pairs of jade for Xiaobaoer and my daughter-in-law. Just find one to wear!"
Li Ye turned his head and said in surprise: "What? I haven't worn any of them, and you passed them all to my son?"
Wen Leyu smiled and said as a matter of course: "Of course not, otherwise how can it be called a family heirloom! Besides, why do you wear jewelry as a grown man?"
Li Ye was stunned and said depressedly: "No, it seems that I have no status in this family in the future?"
"."
Han Chunmei in the other room had also woken up early.
She looked at the sleeping little You'an, and touched the peach branch under his pillow and the gold and jade on his body. She couldn't help but murmured, "You are blessed. You were born to be the young master!"
