Chapter 1012: Too Late......

cpa300_4(); Inside, it was a small, almost palm-sized belly pocket.

It is red, and there is a red and tender puff doll embroidered on it, holding the lotus flower and lying there happily, looking cute and blessed.

I was stunned for a moment - such a small belly pocket, where can I still wear it, I'm afraid only a newborn baby would wear such a thing.

Under the belly pocket, there are also a pair of small shoes and a pair of silver bracelets, both of which are only a little bigger.

I frowned slightly and looked at it for a while, put the belly pocket back, picked up another small brocade box and opened it, and saw that there was a small dress inside, but it was larger than the belly pocket, and there was a pair of small embroidered shoes next to it, and the two of them were placed together on the palm of the hand.

I frowned again.

This is also something that only children who have just been born for a long time will use it.

I opened a few more brocade boxes one after another, and what came out of them was not a tiger hat, but a small dress, a small skirt, and a small boot, most of which were things that I didn't need at all;

What did Pei Yuanhao do when he sent these things to Li'er? Or, when he ordered to go down, his subordinates were all mistaken?

I stood at the table and was stunned for a while, and suddenly my heart trembled, and then I went to open a slightly larger brocade box, which was a pink goose yellow skirt, the size of which was exactly what Li'er could wear now, and the style was also very new, and it was also equipped with a head flower, a small ribbon, and even a simple and elegant beaded flower, all carefully wrapped in a gauze scarf.

It dawned on me.

These things are worn and used by a child from childhood to the conference, from infancy to the present, and now a little girl's beautiful clothes, all in these brocade boxes.

I slowly sat down on the stool, looking at the things on the table, and for a moment I felt a sense of sourness and bitterness in my heart.

I know that Pei Yuanhao is not a person who is too careful, let alone a man who is good at treating people gently, many times, he is clumsy even if he is gentle, and even his gentleness is rough, but now, what is shown in front of me is an unprecedented delicate side of him, if it is said to those courtiers, I am afraid that they will not believe it.

He's making amends.

Make up for the father's love that has not been paid over the years, and make up for the growth of the separated children that have been missed over the years.

In fact, like him, I also missed the growth of Li'er and these years.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh and laugh bitterly.

And just then, the door of the void was pushed open with a creak.

Pei Yuanxiu stood at the door and looked at me quietly.

I sat at the table, and didn't react for a while, until I saw his dark eyes and contemplative gaze slowly move from my face to the table, and the stall of clothes and shoes and socks that was already out of place flickered slightly, and I put the little skirt in my hand back on the table: "Why are you here?"

His gaze paused on the table.

"It's almost time, it's time for us to pick up our children at the docks. ”

"Oh......"

I was slightly stunned, only to find that I opened these brocade boxes, and sat at the table in a daze, it had been a long time, so I stood up on the edge of the table: "Okay, you wait for me to prepare." ”

After saying that, he stepped aside and combed his somewhat messy sideburns.

He looked at me for a while, then walked in and walked to the table, looking at the things on the table, I combed my hair and turned my head, looked at his dark eyes, thought about it, and said calmly: "These are his gifts for Li'er." ”

He listened, looked at me calmly for a while, then looked up at me and smiled, "He has a heart." ”

I smiled too, "yes." ”

It's just -- it's too late.

He did have a heart, but his heart, like these untimely clothes, hats, shoes and socks, came too late.

And I, too.

He looked at my smile and seemed a little stunned for a moment, but I had already recovered from that frustration and said with a smile, "Don't talk about that, let's go pick up the child." ”

“…… Good. ”

Like the day before, when we arrived at the pier, the boat had not yet arrived.

Of course, also because we came too early.

I still didn't have anything to say to him all the way, except for a few words of conversation when we got off the bus, and then he walked up to the dock with me.

As soon as I stood still, I saw the wide river in front of me, the waves of the river were constantly tumbling and undulating, surging against the stone pillars on the shore, constantly stirring up huge snow-white waves, washing the stone road in front of the pier clean, and also bringing a slight tremor under my feet.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu stepped forward and stood in front of me.

I glanced up at him, but I couldn't see the expression on his face, just blocked by his tall body and broad shoulders, and I couldn't see anything on the river.

But I didn't say anything, just stood quietly behind him.

Time passed little by little.

Although I also experienced such a wait yesterday, it is impossible not to be anxious, as long as I don't see Li'er come back for a moment, my hanging heart will never be able to let go.

Seeing the sunset setting slanting, the golden light sprinkled over the boundless Yangtze River, as if the whole river turned into a golden dragon, swimming slowly, making a low and huge low roar, I subconsciously raised my head, just about to see if there was any movement on the other side of the river, but saw that Pei Yuanxiu had turned his head, smiled and said to me: "Don't worry, Li'er is back." ”

“……!”

I was overjoyed, and hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, the big ship appeared in sight again, and the surrounding waves were sparkling, and it seemed to be coated with a golden coat.

I breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled softly.

While laughing, he turned his head to look at Pei Yuanxiu, but he was surprised to see that his face was full of dew, and when he was shining in the sun, he was also shining.

Is that__

Seeing me looking at him, he reached out and wiped his face and smiled.

It was the foam rolling in the river breeze, and he had been standing in front of me just now, helping me block it.

I looked at him with a wet face, and I didn't know what to say for a while, so I was silent for a while, took out my handkerchief from my sleeve, and gently handed it to him.

"Thank you. ”

He took it, pinched it in his hand, then put it on his cheek and lightly touched it twice.

On the forehead, on the tip of the nose, and even on the sideburns, there is still condensed dew.

I looked at him, then at the boat on the river, and after a while, I looked at him again and pointed to his sideburns: "It's not wiped clean there." ”

"Huh?"

"Here, and here. ”

I stretched out my finger and pointed, and he rubbed it a few more times as my fingertips pointed.

The face is finally clean and tidy.

He laughed: "I really can't do it without you." ”

I also laughed, but I couldn't tell what it was like, just looked at the handkerchief that was already wet, and he held it in his palm, but he didn't mean to return it to me.

At this time, I felt that the wind and waves were a little stronger, and I looked back to see that the boat had already landed.

We hurriedly walked up, and before the boat was stable, we saw Li'er standing at the bow of the boat, waving at us excitedly, and behind her stood Pei Yuanhao, wearing an azure gown, probably because the water mist on the river was too heavy, and there were traces of wetness on the corners and cuffs of her clothes. He put one hand on Li'er's shoulder, and the other hand held the fence, and was quietly watching us.

At this time, the ship was firmly grounded, and a heavy sampan was attached to the stone pier of the pier.

Li'er took two steps away from him, then turned back and waved his hand at him gently.

Because of his sunny face, I can't see what the expression on his face is, but probably because the orange-red light of the sunset makes people feel extra warm, and it seems that his face is also full of warm smiles.

He waved his hand at Li'er.

Then Li'er turned and walked away, and once again he straightened up and leaned against the fence, his dark eyes looking at the pier.

Li'er stepped down from the boat, and behind her was still Wu Yanqiu, as well as several attendants behind him, one of whom was holding a long, square box in his hand, and walked forward respectfully, all bowing to us.

Li'er walked up to us and said softly, "Daddy, mother, I'm back." ”

Pei Yuanxiu reached out and stroked her heart.

Li'er looked up at me again, but seemed to be a little cautious: "Mother." ”

The big stone in my heart was put down, and I didn't have much to say, just looked at the box that the attendant was holding in his hand, frowned slightly, and when Li'er saw me like this, he hurriedly opened his mouth to explain something, but Wu Yanqiu seemed to see what I was thinking, and said first: "Madam, this is what my master wants to give to Madame." ”

“……”

Do you want to do it again?

Looking down at Li'er pouting slightly, with a slightly aggrieved expression, the flickering light in her eyes seemed to tell me "I didn't let me buy it".

Thinking back to the things on the table that I hadn't had time to clean up, I smiled helplessly.

Pei Yuanxiu glanced at me.

Wu Yanqiu continued: "The master also asked me to talk to my wife and son, and the master hopes to travel to Yangzhou with Miss Li tomorrow." ”

“……”

This time, Pei Yuanxiu and I glanced at each other.

However, no one spoke.

It's just that the brows of both of them are slightly furrowed.

Again?

It has been two days in a row, he invited Li'er to cross the river and swim together, in fact, this is really not a strange thing, if the father and daughter get together, don't say two days and three days, even if two or three years are not enough, but the problem lies in his identity, he is the emperor of the Central Plains, the high-ranking Ninety-Five Supreme, there are too many military affairs in front of him, not to mention others, just this Jinling, which is separated by the river but is full of dangers, is enough for him and his courtiers to be restless day and night; 。

This is something that a father would do, but it really doesn't look like what he Pei Yuanhao would do.

What the hell was he thinking?
