Chapter 1216 - 1036: Gained a Younger Brother
September 9, the Double Ninth Festival.
This year, the Prince Residence did not hold any banquet. Considering that the twins had never been outdoors since their birth, on this day, Xiao Yeyang, with a grand gesture, took his whole family for an outing beyond the city, to climb the mountain and gaze into the distance.
On the Longfeng Mountain outside Liangdu City, wild chrysanthemums spread widely, blooming wantonly, attracting countless people to ascend the heights.
At the foot of the mountain, on the grass, Daohua was laying out the tablecloth on the lawn with her maids, and then placing various foods and fruits on top of it.
Next to them, Xiao Yeyang was enthusiastically grilling skewers.
Gu Jian sat cross-legged on the ground, beaming as he watched Daozi and the twins chase and play around him.
"Brother, wait for me!"
The twins were now quite steady on their feet when walking, but still wobbled when running.
Daozi was flying a kite, his entire attention focused on getting the kite higher into the sky, having no time to attend to his little brother and sister.
Daomang was lively and active. Seeing her brother moving about, she followed suit, but after running a few steps and seeing that her brother did not wait for her, her little mouth turned downwards into a pout, her large watery eyes gradually filling with mist, looking utterly pitiful.
Gu Jian simply couldn’t bear to see the little girl cry, quickly got up, ran over, and embraced her in his arms to console her: "Don’t cry, don’t cry, your dear ancestor will play with you, alright?"
