Chapter 533 Like Smoke, Like Rain
Xiao Chiye guessed a possibility: "Do you want them to give up the women's camp?"
Xia Wanniang nodded: "Since there is no way to deal with some things, let them be respected instead of being reduced to playthings."
Xiao Chiye placed his hands on his knees, his lips tightly pursed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a long while, he said, "In their minds, this is probably difficult. After all, they all think that women are accessories, and women who make mistakes are their playthings for entertainment."
Xia Wanniang smiled and said, "Then let them stop thinking about women's things. I am also a woman."
Xiao Chiye suddenly laughed: "Indeed, all the things in my house belong to my wife. Since they don't like them so much, there's no need to force them." After saying that, he turned around and started writing the memorial.
Xia Wanniang leaned on the cushion, feeling a little drowsy.
After Xiao Chiye finished writing the memorial and had it sent out, he came back to see her asleep, with the paper he had named the child on still in her hand.
He walked over and gently took the note from her hand, put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket, then he lay down beside her.
He didn't know when he fell asleep, but the humming of the two little ones woke him up.
Xia Wanniang also woke up with a start. She forced herself to resist sleepiness and fed the two children.
When the two children went to bed again, they couldn't fall asleep.
Xia Wanniang simply discussed the names of the two children with Xiao Chiye: "I think Ruyan and Ruyu sound good. They remind me of Misty Jiangnan."
Xiao Chiye: "Misty and rainy Jiangnan?"
Xia Wanniang nodded: "I also saw it in a book. It feels like an ink painting." As she spoke, a book appeared in her hand and she opened a page and showed it to him.
Xiao Chiye looked at the photos in the book. It was a street scene with light rain, a river in the middle, and ancient buildings on both sides. It looked hazy, like a series of ink paintings.
"It's beautiful."
The final names of the two children were confirmed to be Xiao Ruyan and Xiao Ruyu.
When Aunt Xiao heard this name, she also thought it was nice. She knew from the name that the girl was a quiet little girl.
Neither of them had a nickname, so they just gave it to the other children.
Several children are now asked to give their beloved sister a nickname. They are all happy and conflicted. What name should they choose?
Now, except for finishing their homework, the children spend the rest of their time in Xia Wanniang's room.
After the recent rain, the rain in the northwest has increased.
Xia Wanniang had an easy time during her confinement. Apart from feeding the baby, she didn't have to take care of anything else.
Xiao Chiye and Aunt Xiao have taken good care of the two children.
During this month, she spent time playing with her daughter and reading news from various places, and her life was quite relaxing.
Wu Xiao and Wu Hanyu had someone send gifts for their two daughters, but their letters arrived before the gifts did.
Xiao Chiye returned to the military camp after she finished her confinement, so it was already a special case for him to accompany her for a month.
Chai Song stood in front of her and said, "Madam, this is the letter that was delivered today."
Xia Wanniang reached out and took the letter from his hand and flipped through it.
This letter was about the court, because there was a heated argument there over the conditions she proposed.
Some court officials thought that the emperor should take back the fiefdom in the northwest, some thought that Princess Zhenguo was getting too arrogant because of her favor, and some remained silent.
It goes without saying that those who remained silent were Wu Hanyu's people, and he was now waiting to see them fight to the death.
Wu Xiao was also happy to watch the show, but he should give Xia Wanniang a lot of favor. Xiao Chiye was the son of General Xiao, and now he was resisting the war outside the Great Wall, so he deserved a reward.
The title of Duke Zhenguo thus fell on him, and Xiao Zimu naturally became the young master of the Duke's Mansion.
Xiao Ruyan and Xiao Ruyu were conferred the titles of princesses.
The court officials wanted to object, but Wu Xiao said lightly, "How about you go to the northwest to build the city, and I will bring the princess back. Remember to earn money to build the Great Wall."
All the court officials were speechless at once. Even if they emptied their family fortunes, there was no way they could build the Great Wall!
