The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"stand up."

Pei Zhiyan waved the wooden sword in his hand twice. It was light and portable and the child could hold it without any difficulty.

"Yes…"

Caizhi stood up, realizing that he had agreed.

The child has been very sleepy recently. When he opened his eyes, it was already evening. The autumn wind was blowing and the leaves in the distance were gradually turning yellow. A few leaves fell down with a rustling sound.

After waking up, Yuanyuan sat on the couch and rubbed her eyes, then went downstairs in her embroidered shoes and stood next to the old man to ask him to hold her heels.

"..."

Pei Zhiyan sighed resignedly, tidied her clothes, took out the polished peach wood sword and handed it to her.

"See if you like it?"

Yuanyuan took the peach wood sword and swung it twice in his likeness, then stood up straight with a bright look on her face and spoke a lot.

“I’m an expert!”

"..."

Pei Zhiyan sometimes wanted to share some of his inferiority complex with her. The two dances she performed were completely harmless and even funny.

"What on earth are you so proud of?"

Unfortunately, Yuanyuan did not answer his question. She dragged her sword around and started playing fighting games with Xiao Fuzi, chasing him around the yard.

Seeing the child sweating while playing, Pei Zhiyan followed behind with a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.

The weather is getting colder, and it is easy to catch a cold if you sweat alternately between hot and cold.

"Tell me the truth where you put the preserves."

Yuanyuan suddenly put the peach wood sword in her hand on his neck and pouted her lips to ask him to tell the truth.

The child was greedy for snacks, so Pei Zhiyan hid the candied fruits he bought for her in a box at the highest place to prevent her from eating too much and getting cavities.

"Just be honest with me..."

He pushed away the wooden sword at his neck and raised his hand to pat the child on the head.

It's really out of control. The daughter is even putting a knife to her father's neck.

Yuanyuan was in a good mood and was not annoyed when being patted. She skipped and skipped to have dinner with her wooden sword in her arms.

In the past, Pei Zhiyan ate very little, and some light porridge and side dishes were enough for one person. Now, with the children, the meals have gradually become richer.

"Eat more."

He served the child a bowl of shredded chicken porridge and placed two wild vegetable dumplings on the plate in front of her.

Only poor families eat wild vegetables, but children prefer to eat them and can eat two or three at a meal.

Pei Zhiyan dug up wild vegetables and ate tree bark while on the run, but wild vegetables were what he disliked eating the most.

He was a little thin before, but recently he has gained some weight and his figure looks more well-proportioned.

Watching the child eat is also a kind of enjoyment. Seeing his bulging cheeks makes him want to drink another bowl of porridge.

After eating the last wild vegetable dumpling, Yuanyuan wiped her mouth, picked up the wooden sword, went upstairs, and began to develop sword moves on her own on the bed.

Seeing her sticking her butt out and putting her head on the couch trying to roll over, Pei Zhiyan was afraid that she would vomit out the meal she had just eaten.

His worry was not without reason. The child retched and immediately stopped rolling.

Learning martial arts is not something that can be done overnight, but Yuanyuan's obsession with martial arts exceeded his expectations.

The next day, Pei Zhiyan performed a few moves with his sword in the yard, and the child followed suit, learning how to dance with the peach wood sword in his little hands with great vigor.

Learning martial arts must start with the basics. Yuanyuan is too young to be suitable for it, so just practice some moves to cultivate her interest.

"Daddy, am I awesome?"

Yuanyuan ran into the main hall holding a peach wood sword, pulled Pei Zhiyan who was reviewing memorials, and played the same trick again in front of him.

The little guy didn't show much energy, but the dance of his little arms and legs was quite interesting, and I did learn some of the essence of it.

"Great!"

Pei Zhiyan rarely praised her, so he waved for her to come over and poured her a cup of scented tea to quench her thirst.

"Daddy, are you tired of writing this all the time?"

The leaky little cotton-padded jacket also showed concern for him for once. He tilted his head back and drank the tea in one gulp, smacking his lips as he savored the taste.

“This tea is sweet and sour.”

"Is it tasty after adding hawthorn, red dates and rock sugar?"

This was specially prepared by Pei Zhiyan for her, and it also contained white chrysanthemum and wolfberry.

"It's delicious!" Yuanyuan held the teacup and asked for another cup.

"I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow and let Caizhi pack anything for you if you need to bring it."

Pei Zhiyan felt relieved to receive the child's recognition, and his eyes on her were as gentle as water.

"Where are you going to play?"

When Yuanyuan heard that she was going out to play, her eyes lit up. She had been trapped in this deep palace for too long and had long wanted to see the outside world.

"Lizhou."

"Great!"

Although they didn’t know where Lizhou was, it didn’t stop the children from cheering for it.

When she said she wanted to pack up, Yuanyuan wished she could take all her belongings with her.

"Girl, we will be back soon, there is no need to bring these."

"Girl, it's getting cold and you can't wear thin summer clothes."

"..."

Yuanyuan pulled the things out one by one, and Caizhi stuffed them in one by one.

She had been trapped in this palace for several years and was looking forward to this journey, but she couldn't help feeling sad when she thought about what would happen next.

"Let's go pack Daddy's clothes."

Seeing that her bag was packed, Yuanyuan took Caizhi's hand and went up to the attic.

"Master Seal will pack his own clothes, so we don't need to worry about it."

Caizhi quickly let go of her hand and took two steps back. She didn't dare to touch Master Zhangyin's underwear.

During the days she stayed in Wangyue Tower, Pei Zhiyan washed and dried her own clothes, doing it herself and not allowing others to touch them.

"it is good…"

Seeing that Caizhi was unwilling to go, Yuanyuan did not force her and went to the old man's bedroom to clean up.

The little brat is best at making trouble.

Pei Zhiyan finished his work and walked into the bedroom to look for her. The scene he saw almost made him think he was robbed.

His clothes were in a mess. The little guy came out from the pile of clothes holding his robe and looked at him with bright eyes.

"Daddy, you're not wearing a bellyband, it's shameful!"

Yuanyuan rummaged through the old man’s wooden cabinet, but found no bellyband inside. Caizhi had said that everyone should wear a bellyband.

"What nonsense are you talking about again?"

Pei Zhiyan picked her up from the ground and cleaned up the mess.

It would be really embarrassing if he wore a bellyband.

"I'm not talking nonsense."

Yuanyuan followed him and helped pick up the clothes. She wanted to help clean up, but the more she cleaned, the messier it became.

"Women need to wear them, but men don't."

"why?"

"I don't know. It has been like this since ancient times."

Pei Zhiyan deliberately avoided this question. In fact, he had never studied this aspect, perhaps because of the different body structure.

He didn't need to take much with him, just a few sets of clothes would be enough.

The next morning, Pei Zhiyan took the children out of the palace, and Xiao Fuzi and Caizhi followed to serve them closely.

Yuanyuan was wearing a navy blue riding suit, which was simple and neat, with a headband of the same color tied on her forehead, which added a bit of heroic spirit.

"Looking at it this way, he does look somewhat similar to Master Zhangyin."

Caizhi couldn't help but sigh that the two of them were 50% similar in their eyebrows.
