Chapter 267 Meeting the Child
In fact, just now, Mrs. Qi wanted to take the child to pick up her daughter-in-law outside the house, and wanted her to see the child as soon as possible.
But then I thought about it, there are so many people outside, and my wife is already suffering from depression. What if she faints from excitement, or becomes uncontrollable?
The Qi family is not afraid of losing the face of the Wei family, nor is she afraid of the people's comments, but she does not want outsiders to talk nonsense about her daughter-in-law. As a woman, she is already pitiful enough.
Soon, the servant walked in with the child and his adoptive mother.
The child walked in front, and the woman walked behind.
Fahrenhe's eyes fell on the child's face, and he was startled. The shape of his face, eyebrows and eyes really looked like her husband, even more so than Kaiyang.
It’s just that this child’s face doesn’t look like me at all.
A little shorter than Kaiyang, but about the same weight and thinness, Fahrenhe unknowingly compared the child in front of her with Kaiyang.
Suddenly, Fahrenheit realized a problem. Why didn't his heart fluctuate when he faced this child? On the contrary, the confusion while waiting has slowly calmed down?
At this time, Mrs. Qi and her son Wei Zizheng, who were present, were also paying attention to every move of Hua Shi. They did not want to miss her surprise of seeing the child. They also wanted to call Dr. Liu over immediately if they noticed any signs that she was losing control of her emotions.
But, unexpectedly, peacefully?
Are you confused because you are too excited?
Because of Hua's reaction at this time, Qi originally wanted to call Tong'er to come forward and call her mother, but she was stopped by her son's eyes.
The child also looked at Fahrenheit cautiously and curiously. The adults didn't speak, so he just stood there honestly.
Is this beautiful lady my own mother?
He never knew before that the person who raised him was not his biological mother, but his adoptive mother. It was a month ago that she suddenly said it to him.
Then, within a few days, the family picked him and his adoptive mother up in the capital and entered this courtyard that was many times larger than his previous home.
The servants all respectfully called him Young Master.
After arriving here, he put on a robe made of good materials that he had never worn before. His grandmother ordered people to change the dishes and snacks. Whatever he liked to eat would appear in front of him the next day. .
His grandfather also liked him and would take him to the study when he came back from the next court to teach him how to practice calligraphy.
My father's official position seemed to be lower than his grandfather's, but he was busier than his grandfather. After he entered the government, he only met him a few times. However, the way his father looked at him was also joyful.
Today, I finally saw my mother, but she didn’t seem to like the way she looked. She didn't cry and laugh at the same time like her grandmother did, and she didn't step forward and hug her tightly like her grandmother did, making her unable to breathe.
Wherever he went, his grandmother’s eyes followed him, as if she was afraid that he would disappear if he made a wrong glance.
"Okay, Tong'er, go back to your room and read a book first. Your mother has traveled all the way back and is too tired." Wei Zizheng took a look and said quickly.
The woman, who was the child's adoptive mother, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, took the child's hand, turned around and walked out.
Ms. Qi wanted to ask her daughter-in-law what was going on. For more than six years, she had thought about it every day and shed countless tears every night. However, Tong'er was already in front of her, so why was it like this? reaction?
Wei Zizheng realized what his mother was going to say, and shook his head slightly. He stood up and walked to his wife and said softly: "I am tired from the journey. Should I eat first or go back to rest first?"
Based on his understanding of his wife, he thought that she would say that she didn't want to eat and should go back to her room to rest. "Let's eat first. By the way, tell the kitchen to make some beef meatballs too." Fahrenheit said.
The mother and son next to them were stunned and looked at each other. They were still thinking about it?
Then, is she in trouble or is she fine?
However, the two women did not dare to ask. Qi quickly asked the woman at the door to tell the kitchen.
The hall was so quiet that people felt uncomfortable. Qi quickly found an excuse and walked out.
"Caiying, you?" Wei Zizheng wanted to talk to his wife, but he didn't know how to speak.
The wife he always thought he knew, suddenly couldn't figure out what she was thinking. What is going on? What happened outside when my wife left Beijing this time?
You can’t leave your wife behind now, let’s ask the people accompanying her!
Is it possible that the wife's behavior has something to do with the fact that she is older and younger?
After another quarter of an hour, the kitchen came to ask if the food could be served.
Fahrenhe finally spoke again, going to see if the two guests who came with him had washed up, and invited them to come over for dinner.
When Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang followed the nun to the dining hall, they saw that there were only Mr. Qi, his son and daughter-in-law, plus two maids, but they did not see the child.
"You're too hungry, sit down quickly." Ms. Qi greeted and sat down.
"Master Wei hasn't come back yet?" Hong Xiaoduo didn't have so many rules, so he asked as he sat down.
"My father has been investigating Tong'er's affairs during this period. I'm afraid a lot of official documents have accumulated. He should be back in the evening." Wei Zizheng told him, not saying that when they arrived at the city gate, they would ask someone to Went to inform my father.
It’s not that his father has a high official position and won’t care whether his daughter-in-law comes back. Of course, he is not sure. If when he went to report to his father, he knew that the elder and the younger whom his father was talking about were also here. Will my father leave the pile of official documents and rush back?
According to his understanding of his father, it shouldn't be possible.
Some time ago, in order to investigate Tong'er's affairs, his father took leave many times. The situation was completely different!
"Ms. Hong, Kaiyang, you're welcome." Mr. Qi greeted warmly.
My precious grandson is still alive and has returned to her. Her daughter-in-law has also returned. Mrs. Qi feels that she is more relaxed than ever and is in an extremely good mood.
"Since we are here, we will definitely not be polite. Madam, please don't mind us eating too much." Hong Xiaoduo now sees that the other two members of the Wei family are also good people. , I feel more relieved about Kaiyang's return.
At this time, the people in the kitchen brought beef meatballs again. When Hua saw it, he pointed at Kaiyang and said, "Let go of Yang, he likes it."
The beef meatballs were placed in front of Kaiyang. .
Qi and her son looked at each other and quickly looked away. However, the reactions of both mother and son fell into Hong Xiaoduo's eyes.
Although Hua Shi met the child just now and Hong Xiaoduo was not present, now looking at the reactions of Hua Shi and the child, as well as the fact that the child did not appear at the dinner table, she had a rough guess.
I’m afraid, in the scene where Fahrenheit mother and son met, what should have happened did not happen.
Otherwise, Hua could still sit here so calmly at this time, knowing that meatballs are Kaiyang's favorite, so why would he put them in front of him?
If I really accepted it in my heart, I should have hugged the child and cried burstingly. Even if the child had already had lunch, he had to sit with his son who was lost and found after many years. This is it!
The food on the table was very rich and tasted very good. Hong Xiaoduo, Kaiyang and Hua Shi all ate deliciously. Only Qi and her son were a bit confused about the food, which made them feel very uneasy... …
