Chapter 838 Born to be a Young Master
One o'clock in the morning is the best time for the human body clock to have a deep sleep. If you miss it, you will have a shallow sleep with many dreams in the second half of the night and feel exhausted.

At one o'clock in the morning, Li Ye was muttering to himself with his eyes open.

"The sky is great, the earth is great, there is a boy crying at night in my house. If a gentleman passes by and recites it three times, he will sleep until dawn. The sky is great, the earth is great."

It is said that the words that Li Ye recited were a prescription from the "Zhuyou Department" among the thirteen departments of ancient Chinese medicine, which was specially used to treat children's night crying.

Children's crying at night has been a tormenting problem since ancient times. A rooster that does not crow on time can be slaughtered and stewed into soup. But if a child cries at the top of his lungs in the middle of the night, would you dare to poke him with a finger?

Li Ye has been tortured by the three little kids these past two days.

On the second day after Han Chunmei brought Li Youan to the capital, little Youan, perhaps suddenly unable to adapt to the climate and environment in the capital, always cried and made noise at night.

Whenever he starts crying, Li Ye's daughter Xiaodou'er will most likely join in the duet, and his son Xiaobao'er will occasionally join in the trio. The three little ones have to be picked up by adults and rocked slowly before they stop crying.

But as soon as he was put down, he started crying again.

This made Wu Juying, Han Chunmei and Wen Leyu very busy. They fed this one and shook that one, and got up three or four times a night. All their energy and spirit were exhausted.

"There's 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 can calm the mind and drive away evil spirits, so it will definitely work if she cuts them down.

Li Ye, a member of the Party, was also forced to use the traditional culture of "Tian Huang Huang".

But Li Ye recited for five minutes in one breath, and only managed to trick the quietest little Bao into falling asleep. Little Dou'er and little You'an were full, but they were still fine when they were held in his arms, and would cry if they were put down.

"Hey, I've read it thirty times, can you two give me some face? If I don't go to sleep, I'll start to doubt whether I'm a villain or not a gentleman."

"Pfft~"

Wen Leyu couldn't help laughing, and then while coaxing his daughter to sleep, he said, "People write the words '天皇皇' and '地皇皇' outside so that others can help read them. It won't work if you read them yourself!"

"Hey, give yourself some psychological comfort! Who's out there reading the spell for you at this hour? Come on, give me your daughter, let me hang around for a while."

Li Ye reached out and took the small bag, humming a soothing tune while pacing slowly and swaying slowly.

But after Li Ye shook for two minutes, Xiaodou'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 is. Isn’t that just seeing blindly?

Han Chunmei was also rocking little Youan in her arms. Seeing Li Ye's expression, she said embarrassedly, "Why don't I move to Zaojun Temple tomorrow? If little Youan cries, Xiaobaoer and Xiaodouer will suffer as well."

"no, I'm fine."

Before Li Ye could say anything, Wen Leyu smiled and said, "What kind of child doesn't cry? Little Youan just changed his environment, so he can't adapt. He will be fine in a few days."

"Here."

Han Chunmei had no choice. She had to help Wen Leyu feed the baby and take care of her own son on weekdays. It would be inconvenient if she lived in Zaoju Temple.

"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, the peach branches are here, one for each of you."

Grandma Wu Juying came in dragging a big branch and started chopping it off into several pieces. Not only did the three little kids 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 but laughed: "Grandma, is this thing useful?"

"Why doesn't it work?" Grandma Wu Juying glared and said confidently, "In the early days, young masters of landlords wore gold and jade to ward off evil spirits. Poor children couldn't afford gold and jade, so they put peach wood under their pillows, and it worked just as well."

"Gold and jade to ward off evil? Hiss. It seems that there is such a saying."

Li Ye realized it later and remembered the saying "jade can calm the mind".

Wen Leyu blinked and quickly brought out a large jewelry box, which she displayed in front of Wu Juying and Han Chunmei.

Jade pendants, jade pendants, jade bracelets, and jade rings in various colors, styles, and sizes are all made of jade.

Wu Juying narrowed her eyes, looked at Wen Leyu, then at Li Ye, with a sharp look.

Han Chunmei's eyes were a little dazed. She had seen wealthy people in Hong Kong Island and knew about imperial green and glass-type jade. However, she was used to being frugal and the pocket money Li Kaijian gave her was limited, so she never thought of buying luxury goods.

But looking at Wen Leyu's box now, she suddenly felt that when she was giving birth in the hospital, the things those old ladies in the next bed showed off to her were all just some rubbish.

Wen Leyu pushed the jewelry box to Wu Juying and said, "Grandma, we don't know the rules of old age. 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, as if she was smiling, while Han Chunmei waved her hands hastily and said, "No, no, a peach wood branch will be enough. Little Youan just recognizes his bed and will be fine in a few days."

But Li Ye smiled and said, "These are just some 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, there are some inlaid with gold and jade here, take a look and see if they are suitable."

"."

Finally, under Wen Leyu's persuasion, Wu Juying helped the three children pick out three pieces of jade ornaments inlaid with gold and jade, and tied them to the three little kids with red ropes.

Then, Li Ye slept until dawn.

"It's amazing."

Li Ye got up refreshed, then thought for a while and started rummaging through the cabinet where his collections were kept.

Wen Leyu heard the noise, poked his head out from under the quilt, 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 jades. Where did you put them?"

Wen Leyu turned over and said, "I've saved those jades for Xiaobaoer and my daughter-in-law. You can pick any one to wear!"

Li Ye turned his head and asked 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 why would it be called a family heirloom! Besides, why would a grown man like you wear jewelry?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then said depressedly: "No, so from now on, I will have no status in this family?"

"."

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!"
