The guards of crossing, please serve

The child was surprised when he came back, so he hurriedly boiled rice soup to feed the child.

The child was full, and slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.Ran Degao hugged his arms softly, and his heart also softened a lot, and he also developed a kind of lofty ambition to be a father.

——Such a cute child was picked up by me, what a great fate!I must bring him up well...Ran Degao was thinking about this, suddenly felt a pain in his buttocks, turned around, and saw Steward Wen's gloomy face.

"What about the rent?"

"This year's harvest is not good... I haven't received it..."

"what is this?"

"I picked it up on the way back. It's a poor little thing. I don't know who abandoned it..."

"That is to say, not only did you not bring back money, but you also brought a mouth asking for food?"

"...he is still young, I can save his ration by eating a little less every day." Ran Degao's voice was already crying.

Wen Guanju looked at him condescendingly and remained silent.

Just when the atmosphere between the two became more and more tense, another voice came out from the kitchen: "And me! If it's not enough, I'll save some for this kid."

Ran Degao turned his head, hey, isn't this his deadly enemy, Ran Wangzhong, the proud disciple of Wu Guanjia?Why did you jump out to help yourself at this time!

Seeing Ran Degao looking at him again, Ran Wang hastily snorted and turned his head away, "Tch, who cares about you, I'm just looking at the poor kid."

Ran Wangzhong was a member of Guan Wu's family, and when he saw him come forward, Steward Wen couldn't say anything more, so he shook his sleeves and walked away.

Ran Degao and Ran Wang stared at each other for a while, then turned their eyes away.After a while, Ran Degao said first: "Hey, what, Steward Wen is the most hard-spoken and soft-hearted. Even if you don't come, if I ask for a while, he will agree."

Ran Wangzhong frowned: "I'm not doing it for you. I just saw this child and thought of my brother who had been separated for several years. I just cared about him. Besides, how much food can you save by yourself? It's not enough to feed the cat. What if the child is hungry?"

"Don't waste time and money, both of you. Steward Wen just slipped me a piece of silver and asked me to buy milk for the children." The kitchen aunt was full of anger, and grabbed Ran Degao's thin arms: "Look, look You yourself, with such a thin body, still want to save food for others? Eat an extra bowl of rice tonight."

Ran Degao rubbed his nose, and silently lamented that it didn't feel good to be taught a lesson in front of Ran Wangzhong. After a while, he was full of joy again. By doing this, Steward Wen completely agreed with him to keep the child.

In a blink of an eye, three years have passed, and the child who was picked up by Ran Degao has now grown into Yuxue's lovely toddler.

Ran Degao named the child Xiaoguai, hoping that he would be well-behaved and obedient.From the top to the bottom of the palace, after discovering that there was a sudden addition of a child in the mansion, they showed great kindness, and they gave Ran Xiaoguai food and clothing. Wherever Ran Xiaoguai went, there were a lot of people around him. Next, raise the child to be white and fat, with a round bun face, not to mention how annoying it is.

"Little boy, come to Uncle, Uncle will give you sweets..."

"Little boy, let my aunt give you a hug, oh my dear, my aunt made you a new gown..."

"Little boy, come here and pinch my face, um, it feels so good..."

The one who said the last sentence was naturally the little overlord in the palace, the eight-year-old son of the palace——Ran Mingyuan.

Before Ran Mingyuan saw Ran Xiaoguai, he was very angry. He heard that this little kid who couldn't even speak clearly made most people in the house surround him.

But the first time I saw him, I was thrown into my arms by a doll with a milk scent, a pair of big eyes blinked at him, imitating Ran Degao's voice and called "quack", Ran Mingyuan's heart was so soft, still Get someone to bring the crystal grapes that have just been brought in as a tribute, and peel them for Xiaoguai Ran to eat.

From this day on, everyone in the palace knew that the little prince had accepted Ran Degao's little bastard as his foster brother, and the pain was unbearable.Even the few people who looked down on Ran Xiaoguai no longer dared to bully him.

Ran Xiaoguai is popular, so Ran Degao is naturally very happy.It's just that occasionally he also encounters some troubles.

such as……

"At the beginning of human beings, human nature is good; sexuality is similar... sexuality is similar..." Ran Xiaoguai pursed her lips, how could she be so stupid, she had read it several times just now, and now she can't remember.

Ran Degao looked at Ran Xiaoguai, who was hesitant and unable to recite, and felt very depressed. Could it be that his teaching method was wrong?In just a few words, Xiaoguai just couldn't recite them.But, isn't that what I learned when I was a child?

"Daddy," Ran Xiaoguai stretched out his hand consciously: "I can't recite it, you can punish me." The child said while looking at the ruler in Ran Degao's hand with fear—it's such a thick ruler , it must be very painful to hit the hand.

Ran Degao hesitated, "If you can't recite it, you will be punished" he said to scare Xiaoguai, in order to make Xiaoguai study hard... Xiaoguai is indeed very serious, even if he can't recite it, but if he really takes it Ran Degao couldn't bear to hit Xiaoguai's palm with this thick ruler.

Before he could make a statement, the door of the study was pushed open, and the hero who rescued Xiao Guai stood at the door under the sun, staring at Ran Degao.

This person may be Ran Wangzhong, he usually walks in and puts Ran Xiaoguai on his shoulder, and then says: "Ran Degao, it's not enough for you to be a nerd yourself, you have to teach your son to be a nerd too! At such a young age, let He just wants to have fun, why bother with these things!"

This person may be the lady in the kitchen, she will rush in with a bright kitchen knife, stand in front of Ran Degao and wave it without hesitation, like a hen who is desperate to protect her cubs: "Which hand do you hit my little boy, I'll give you a hand!" Just chop off which hand of yours to make soup!"

This person or Ran Mingyuan walked slowly in front of Ran Degao. Although he had to look up at Ran Degao because of his short stature, he still had a condescending aura and said domineeringly: "Have you read this month's account? Next month's expenditure plan Have you done it? Have you written a document for the court?"

No matter who it is, the final result is that this person's image in Ran Xiaoguai's mind gradually grows taller, in stark contrast to Ran Degao's thankless father.

So after having such a few experiences, Ran Degao also gave up the idea of ​​letting Xiaoguai study - rather than being a bad person and letting others have the opportunity to take advantage of it, it is better to follow Xiaoguai and let him live happily. Tired of daddy too!

Although Ran Xiaoguai is very well-behaved as his name suggests, there was a time when he made a fuss in the palace.

There is no other reason, but because Ran Xiaoguai wants a mother.

I don't know who is talking too much, anyway, one afternoon, Ran Xiaoguai threw her nose and tears into the arms of Ran Degao, who had just become Wen's steward, and said while gasping, "Daddy, where is my mother?" ?”

Ran Degao was very at a loss, he was an unmarried man, where could he conjure up a mother for him!

The lady in the kitchen rushed in when she heard the words, picked up Ran Xiaoguai and stuffed it into her soft chest: "Don't cry, Xiaoguai, there is no mother, and there are aunts!"

Ran Xiaoguai cried even louder: "Others have mothers, and I want mothers too. I want to wear clothes made by mothers and eat meals made by mothers."

Everyone felt sad when they heard the words, but there was no other way except coaxing them with good words.

Ran Xiaoguai didn't cry very often, but when she cried, she cried vigorously for a whole day, watching Ran Degao very anxiously, for fear that he would break his body and hurt his eyes from crying.The whole house was mobilized, looking for all kinds of delicious and fun things to bring in front of Ran Xiaoguai, but Ran Xiaoguai didn't look straight at him, and was still immersed in his own world, tired of crying, so he twitched to tears.

Ran Mingyuan went out to inspect for a day, and when he came back, he heard about Ran Xiaoguai. He didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he went to find his precious Xiaoguai in his dress.

However, Ran Xiaoguai just kissed him. She didn't raise her head to look at him until he came. After a while, she reached out to ask Ran Mingyuan to hug her.

With both hands and feet wrapped around Ran Mingyuan's body, Xiaoguai sniffled and said sullenly, "Brother, Xiaoguai has no mother."

Ran Mingyuan hugged him tightly, and said: "It's okay, my brother didn't have a mother a long time ago, so he's still living a good life. Does Xiaoguai dislike my brother because he doesn't have a mother?"

Ran Xiaoguai shook her head desperately: "No way, Ran Xiaoguai likes her brother, and it won't change no matter what."

"Yes, me too. Everyone is like this. Although you don't have a mother, everyone likes you very much. When they see you crying, everyone is anxious." Ran Mingyuan coaxed Ran Xiaoguai softly. , until those big round eyes became transparent again.

The final result of this incident was: that night, ten-year-old Ran Mingyuan lay on the bed, looked at the little boy who was sleeping soundly next to him, and silently swore to God that he would never raise a child in the future, or coax children. It is too troublesome!

13. Poisonous fruit turns into magic...

This time, there was another person in the prince's small courtyard, sitting in the dining room and staring at the closed door of the kitchen, making unmannered gestures such as knocking on the bowl with chopsticks from time to time.

Ran Mingyuan looked at Ran Degao with disgust.Ran Xiaoguai sat on the chair obediently, with her legs dangling, occasionally sniffing the scent in the air, and comforting her adoptive father in a sophisticated way: "Daddy, don't worry, brother Shen said, eat in a hurry No hot tofu... shall we have tofu today?"

Ran Degao patted the head of his little idiot, he just found out today that Ran Xiaoguai had been eating with the prince these days, and after listening to Xiaoguai praise Shen Qing's craftsmanship, he said to the chef in the kitchen
