"Baba does teach me the dizi but so does bófù. They are very good teachers. A-die teaches us the guqin."

They would have no trouble handling eight children altogether. The Jingshi and Hanshi would be overflowing with love and those that he loved the most would smile their brightest smiles.
"They are careful with her," he murmured to his Wei Ying.
