morning dew this life

The Eguchi family, known as aristocrats, has always been very strict in the education of their children.And as the only daughter in the family, naturally she couldn't relax.In addition to receiving an elite education, traditional women's skills cannot be lost, including cooking.

I can't boast that it's good, but at least Bai Lu is very confident about this honey milk paste.

Xiao Tou's reaction is the best proof.Seeing her eating happily, Bai Lu felt satisfied in her heart.Two or three-year-old little things, when holding a spoon to eat, will shake a little because they can't hold it steadily.Xiao Tou was no exception, but she didn't ask the people next to her for help, but stubbornly picked it up spoon by spoon. Bai Lu looked sad and funny, so she simply took the spoon and fed her.

But the little thing's reaction was not as she imagined.

"...Don't you like being fed?" It's been a while since I came to Honmaru, and it's the first time for Bai Lu to see Xiao Tou rejecting her. I have to say, it's still a bit shocking to be rejected by such a cute little thing. of.

Xiao Tou shook his head, clutching the bib hanging around his neck, aggrieved, "I like it...but Dad said you can't be fed, you have to learn to eat by yourself."

Bai Lu paused holding the spoon, she looked at the ceiling, and decided to "abduct" her with a smile, "Yiqi is really a strict father...but it doesn't matter, I'm his boss, let's talk about it occasionally He won't have an opinion either."

The ignorant little bun tilted his head, thinking that what he said made sense, so he was happy again, and opened his mouth obediently, "Ah~"

"Oh, so good." Bai Lu contentedly fed spoonful after spoonful.Song Xian, who watched the whole process from the sidelines, smiled helplessly at this time, "You really dote on Xiao Tou."

Bai Lu wiped Xiao Tou and smiled, "Because Xiao Tou is so cute, I like it very much." She blew on the newly scooped up milk paste, and then fed it to Xiao Baozi, "And, girl Children are meant to be pampered."

"What you said makes sense." Song Xian nodded seriously, and pretended to be serious, "However, if it is in the aspect of educating children to study, you can't easily intervene. You spoil this child too much."

Bai Lu blinked her eyes, "So, I heard it mentioned in an episode... Is it about teaching Xiaotou how to read? Don't worry, how can I easily interfere with such an important matter." She scratched After Xiao Tou swallowed the milk paste at the bottom of the bowl in one breath, Bai Lu pinched her nose with a smile, picked her up again, and handed her to the song fairy who had been waiting for a long time, "Then, this child I will trouble you."

"It won't be troublesome." Ge Xian took Xiao Tou and patted her on the back.Xiao Tou also lay obediently in his arms, "I am the knife of the Department of Literature, and I should be responsible for this kind of thing. If someone else is responsible, let alone Mr. Yiqi, I won't be at ease. Woolen cloth."

Bai Lu nodded with a smile, and suddenly called Ge Xian who was about to leave as if casually.She touched Xiao Tou's head, but looked at Ge Xian, "If there is something not going well in the learning process, please give this child enough time to think, right? ——In the first issue, Xiao Tou has already learned a lot. It’s been a while, how are the grades?”

"Yes." Song Xian patted Xiao Tou on the back approvingly, "Xiao Tou is a very smart kid."

"En." Bai Lu nodded, then looked into Ge Xian's eyes again, "It's already great for a two-year-old kid to do this, isn't it?"

The smile on Ge Xian's face remained unchanged, "Yes. But Master, Xiao Tou is already three years old this year."

"Ah. I'm sorry, it was a slip of the tongue." Bai Lu smiled and waved her hands, "Then I'll leave it to you, Xiao Tou. I'll go to the first phase to check the situation."

Ge Xian bent over, hugged Xiao Tou and left.But on the way to his room, Ge Xian lost the smile just now, he sighed indiscernibly, thinking to himself, the master is still vigilant, but maybe she didn't realize it herself, she has gradually become The sense of identity substitution of "Xiaotou's mother" has been lost.

Maybe this is a good sign too?

He thought so, then patted Xiao Tou, and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, the teacher will check your homework."

"Okay." Xiao Tou put on a sweet smile, but no one knew what a child of this size would be thinking.

Compared with the harmonious atmosphere in the Ohiro room, the brotherhood of the Awataguchi faction upstairs is not bad.

Goto, Akita and Atsushi helped arrange the furniture in the room, Ran and Shinano struggled in the closet, folded the clothes carried in the box one by one, and Hakata held the small judgment box in a serious manner , Thinking about where to put it, Maeda and Hirano were carefully cleaning the room, while Natsuo and Bone Chou were carrying the things they had just brought up the stairs.

Yiqi Yizhen, who was forced to "no meddling", stood by the window, watching his younger brothers discuss excitedly, and sighed silently.However, seeing that the originally empty room was filled up in an instant, I felt very satisfied after a while.Like something, finally coming back.

With a glance, he saw Baoding at the door.Compared with the busyness of the brothers, the younger brother who is a little at a loss holding the small box is very conspicuous.Yiqi walked over, and said softly, "What's wrong?"

Bao Ding raised the box in his hand, "Little uncle asked me to put these things back, but I think I should come and ask Brother Yiqi what he means."

His eyes fell on the box one after another, and he understood what was inside almost instantly.He touched Baoding's head, "Put it back."

"But..." Bao Ding hugged the box tightly in his arms, and took a step back aggrievedly, "But it's full of important memories of Brother Yi..."

"Yeah." Yiqi Yizhen smiled, "They are all very important memories." His tone suddenly became distant, with a subtle loss, "However, because they are all important, it is even more important not to put them in the memory. here."

"I can't let her see this. She is such a smart person. I can't harm her."

The protest was invalid, and Baoding left sadly holding the box.Yao Yan silently walked to Yiqi Yizhen, "Brother Yiqi." He looked at his elder brother's profile, "Do you really not want to fight..."

"Yaoyan." Yiqi Yizhen interrupted his words, and just said quietly, "Don't do that kind of thing again in the future."

Yao Yan pushed his glasses, "No. I don't know what brother Yiqi is talking about."

After a period of shock, he turned his head, looked helplessly at his mature brother and smiled, "I know all about medicine research. You don't have to test her anymore..." He changed the phrase, "If she can come back, I'm already I am very happy, and I dare not ask for more things. This is very good."

"Brother Yiqi." Yao Yan glanced away, "But this is not fair to Xiao Tou, the general is Xiao Tou's mother after all."

Yiqi Yizhen looked at his younger brother's stubborn look, took a deep breath, and said helplessly, "Xiao Tou understands everything, she will be a good boy."

Yao Yan had a sore nose, he felt Yiji's warm hand touching the top of his head, and he heard his brother's steady voice saying something he didn't believe at all.

——"Yaoyan, Xiaotou and I are fine. You don't have to worry. Really."

—Brother Qiqi, obviously you are also so sad.

After lunch, Bai Lu finished her work for the day and was about to work overtime so that she could find time to go home.A small figure was poking around outside the door, making it hard for her not to pay attention.

"Xiao Tou." Bai Lu called softly, and the little bun who had been named laughed a couple of times, then happily walked in with a book in his arms.

Bai Lu hurriedly put down the document in her hand, stepped forward to pick her up, took a few more steps and put her on the sofa, and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Tou excitedly raised the book in his hand, his big eyes were filled with longing. "Teacher Gexian gave it to me, but I still don't know many words."

oh.Bai Lu nodded, sat down next to her politely, took the book in her hand, "Which one do you want to read?"

Xiao Tou lowered her head, "Hmm...will it disturb my work?" Bai Lu smiled, and hugged Xiao Baozi into her arms, "No way."

"Then anything is fine!" Xiao Tou gave Bai Lu a big smile, found a comfortable position in her arms, and acted like a baby while grabbing her sleeves.

Bai Lu patted her head and opened the first article, "A long time ago, there lived a fisherman named Urashima Taro..."

Xiao Tou tilted his head, "Urashima...?"

"Yeah." Bai Lu knew what she was wondering, and patiently explained, "It is said that there is an engraving of Urashima Taro on the body of Urashima Kotoru's sword—it is Urashima Taro in this story."

"Does it matter?" Xiaotou leaned closer to the book, staring at Taro Urashima in the illustration.Bai Lu looked up at the sky, "Probably so. But there are also people who say that the pattern is not Urashima Taro's - I don't know about that either, I have to ask Urashima."

"Oh..." Xiao Tou nodded half-understanding, then quietly leaned against Bai Lu's arms and did not speak.Bai Lu smiled and continued reading the story.

At first, Xiao Tou was still curious about some questions, and Bai Lu would patiently tell her.After reading a few chapters, gradually, only Bai Lu's voice was left in the small study, gently brushing every corner.

"The old man had an idea: Since the child burst out of a peach, he was named 'Momotaro'..."

Bai Lu closed the book and exhaled lightly.She looked at Xiao Tou's cute sleeping face, and her heart was so soft that it was a mess.After stroking Xiaotou's soft hair, he was reaching out to pull the blanket not far away to cover her, but he had already taken a step ahead of her with both hands, and took the blanket and handed it to her.

She was startled, but when she looked up, she was shocked.I don't know when Mimi touched it quietly, and Yizhen was holding the blanket and looking at her with a gentle smile.Bai Lu lowered her eyes, took the blanket, shook it off and spread it gently on Xiao Tou's body.

Although she didn't show it on the surface, only she knew that her heart was already in disarray.

Bai Lu had never seen Yiqi Yizhen show such an expression before.No, I've actually seen it before. In the dream, when he faced the former judge, he had such an expression.

It made her subconsciously think of the affectionate sentiment of that waka.

——Affection looms between the brows, and others know that I am in love.

She didn't look at Yiqi Yizhen again, so she didn't know how much restraint Yiqi Yizhen used to make him resist the urge to hold both mother and daughter in his arms.

He lost his job and the opportunity to practice with his brothers.He spent the whole afternoon in this small world just to take a good look at the picture of his wife and daughter accompanying each other.

Such a scene that he couldn't ask for, but kept turning back and forth in his heart.

In fact, Yizheng knew in his heart that his younger brothers didn't believe what he said in the morning, because even he himself didn't believe it.

— "I'm glad she's back." It's true.

——"Xiao Tou and I are fine." It's false.

Yao Yan is right, even if he doesn't mention himself, it's really unfair to Xiao Tou.

Yizhen knew how much Xiao Tou wanted to get close to Bai Lu, but because of the prohibition, she could only endure it.He also once thought about whether he should tell the truth to this child, and he felt sorry for her for letting such a young child suffer so much - he had clearly promised Bai Lu that he would spoil this child to heaven.

So when Xiao Tou cried and said to him, "I want to be with my mother", he could no longer refuse ruthlessly, so he could only go to Bai Lu the next day to mention the matter of taking care of the child, and took the risk.

Fortunately, after these few days, Xiao Tou did not reveal anything that made Bai Lu suspicious, and the way of getting along between the two became more and more harmonious.

Only one episode and one shock can be regarded as a real peace of mind.

He watched Xiao Tou lying contentedly on Bai Lu's lap, and he understood in his heart that not only he had been looking forward to this scene for a long time, but Xiao Tou had also been looking forward to it for a long time.

He remembered what Luan had said to him once again, this younger brother with a random blade pattern seemed to be able to understand such complicated and beautiful thoughts better than others.

"Brother Phase One." The blond boy's blue eyes were filled with a bewitching light, "Why don't you try to be with Master again?"

"If your past has been completely denied, why deny the future along with it."

"Master has returned to Honmaru, even if she doesn't remember anything, we can accompany her and create new memories."

"I think Mrs. Eguchi used the forbidden technique to save the master from the brink of life and death, and then sent her back, not only because of that promise, but more importantly, the future of the master."

"We are just master's men with swords, but Brother Yiqi, you are the most important person of master."

"How can you be so easy to be content with the status quo. If you keep stopping with the excuse that you don't want to hurt the master, you are not like our first-stage brother..."

Yizheng sighed insignificantly.

For the expectations of his younger brothers, for himself, and for Xiao Tou.Maybe, he thought, he could really give it a try.

The author has something to say:

The amount of information in this chapter is a bit large, but... it should still be acceptable [x]

And, it's time for Bao Dingjia to play, baby, come quickly, I almost dug through the dungeon...

Finally... I have a bold idea, such as the two chapters of the daily update... [When I didn't say it]

Also, if this is printed, someone will either...
