Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 383 Mother-son affection
Huan Xi took a breath. Over the years, no one had dared to be so angry with him. Even if the emperor spoke to him, he had to be polite.

However, not to mention the emphasis on filial piety in this era, it was impossible for Huan Xi to be serious with Sima Xingnan, who had always loved him.

"The mother said, take a needle and sew the child's mouth shut."

Huan Xi said with a smile.

After saying this, Huan Xi's feet did not move.

Sima Xingnan had no choice but to say to his grandson:
"Aman, you can't be so frivolous and disrespectful as your grandfather and father."

But Aman retorted:
"Grandma was wrong. The majesty of my grandfather and father was not gained by being serious about words, but by conquering the east and west and making great achievements, so that people can fear them."

Instead of being angry, Sima Xingnan happily stroked Aman's head and said in surprise:
"My grandson is so knowledgeable!"

Huan Xi immediately transformed into a merit-seeking boy:
"This is all about teaching children well."

When Sima Xingnan heard this, he turned around and left.

"With such a beautiful son, I will have no regrets even if I die!"

Of course Huan Xi knew that his mother was joking, but he still begged, hoping that Sima Xingnan would let him go.

But for some reason, such a father made him feel close to him.

Seeing that pitiful look, Sima Xingnan couldn't stand it any longer and finally laughed out loud:
"That's it! I'll spare you this time, but Xi'er, you are already a father. Now Aman is still watching, but you still have the same temperament as when you were young."

The next day, Aman got up very early. The nurse brought hot water and went into the house to wash him.

While Huan Xi comforted Sima Xingnan, he looked at Aman provocatively, as if to say to him: You are still too young to compete with me for favor.

Huan Xi asked from behind:
"Where is mother going?"

Huan Xi said nonchalantly:
“In the Spring and Autumn Period, the hermit Lao Laizi was over seventy years old, but he could still dress up in colorful clothes and pretend to be a baby, just to make his parents smile.

In ancient times, boys did not tie their hair, and their hair hung naturally, so they were called Chui Tiao.

But this time Aman was going to inspect places with Quan Yi, and he would definitely have to show his face in front of officials and people everywhere. He needed to pay attention to his appearance, so he got up early and had his hair tied up by his wet nurse.

In fact, Aman's food and daily life have always been taken care of by the wet nurse.

Of course, it was impossible for Sima Xingnan to really sew Huan Xi's mouth shut. Although Huan Xi's status in Sima Xingnan's heart was greatly affected after Aman was born, they were still indistinguishable.

"Go get the needle and thread!"

Aman couldn't laugh or cry. Although Huan Xi had always played the role of a loving father in his life and often joked and joked with Aman, Aman really didn't expect that his father had such a childish side and could actually interact with his son. Fight for favor.

Sima Xingnan didn't even look back:

As for Aman, he has become a mere idler. After listening to Huan Xi's sincere words, Sima Xingnan could not see her grandson. All she could see was the direct descendant who made her proud and had always won glory for her. eldest son.

Aman had suffered from a cold earlier, and the nanny was afraid that Huanxi would blame her for not taking good care of her. She was so frightened that she had trouble sleeping and eating. Fortunately, Huanxi did not make things difficult for her. Instead, after listening to Aman's own opinions, he continued to treat the nurse. The wet nurse stayed in Weiyang Palace to take care of Aman's life.

Sima Xingnan and Huan Wen had lived together for nearly thirty years, and he was somewhat influenced by Huan Wen. He was not a serious character.

"The child is busy with state affairs and cannot fulfill his filial piety in front of his mother's knees. Now that we have reunited for a short time, the child should try his best to only ask for a knowing smile from his mother."

Huan Xi quickly stroked his mother's back and comforted her repeatedly.

When Sima Xingnan heard this, she was laughing just now, but for a moment, her face was filled with tears. She didn't care that Huan Xi was now twenty-six or seventeen years old, and was already the father of five children. Sima Xingnan pushed Huan Xi away Hugging him, he choked and said:

The wet nurse had just dried Aman's wet hair when Xie Daoyun opened the door and walked in.

"Let me do it, you go and wait outside."

Xie Daoyun said calmly.

The wet nurse hurriedly handed over the comb and led a group of palace maids out to wait.

There were only mother and son left in the room. Xie Daoyun carefully combed Aman's hair and warned: "After leaving Chang'an, you must control your temper.

"Quan Zhongshu is your father's confidant. As a mother, I have known him for many years. He is very loyal. You will do whatever he says along the way. Quan Zhongshu will never harm you."

Aman smiled and said:

"My father often said that I should respect my teachers. Quan Zhongshu is the teacher arranged by my father for me. I should respect him as a child."

Xie Daoyun nodded after hearing this:

"You have always known the importance, and my mother will no longer tell you anything. It's just that you need to pay attention to your health when you go out. You must be healthy and come back safely."

Aman hurriedly agreed:

"The body, hair, and skin are protected by their parents, so how can a child dare to damage them? I only hope that the mother can also take care of her body."

While the mother and son were talking, the door was pushed open again, and Huan Xi walked in with a gloomy face and hummed:

"Why, you only have a mother and no father! You only hope that your mother can take care of herself!"

Aman's face turned pale. He didn't know whether Huan Xi was joking or if he was really angry.

Seeing that Aman was frightened, Xie Daoyun yelled at Huan Xi:

"Aman is going to travel far away from home today, why do you still have the leisure to cause trouble here?"

Huan Xi immediately turned from anger to joy and said with a smile:

"It's not like we leave for three to five years, but we can see each other in a month or two. How can we make the atmosphere feel like life and death?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Xingnan's voice sounded outside the door:

"Huan Bo said! If you can't speak, just shut your mouth!"

It turned out that Sima Xingnan also got up early to see his grandson off.

When Xie Daoyun saw that it was Sima Xingnan who had arrived, he glanced at Huan Xi proudly. If anyone in the world could control him, it was definitely not his wife, but Sima Xingnan.

It's just that Sima Xingnan's moral practice is not deep enough, and he is often confused by Huan Xi's rhetoric.

As soon as Sima Xingnan entered the door, he grabbed Huan Xi's ear:

"How can you say such unlucky words on the day of departure?"

Huan Xi quickly begged for mercy:

"My child knows that I'm wrong, mother, stop it, your ears will be torn off!"

"Hmph! It can't be ripped off so easily!"

Sima Xingnan said this, but she finally let go. She took a bowl of meat porridge from the tray held by the maid behind her, put it on Aman's dressing table, and said with a smile:

"I cooked this myself. Aman, you have to drink the meat porridge before going out."

Aman nodded and smiled:

"Thank you grandma."

Huan Xi asked pitifully:

"Mother, where is the child's share?"

Sima Xingnan rolled his eyes at him:
"How can I miss you? I have already sent someone to Jiaofang Palace, but I didn't know that you and your wife have come to Aman's palace."
