When he woke up in the morning and saw the snow and wind in the sky, Chen Jingke's face immediately became bitter.
He doesn't like snow, it's too cold.
When I was a child, my family conditions were average and there was no heating, air conditioning or the like. Winters were particularly difficult, and even more so when it rained or snowed.
As I grow up and work, I still hate winter no matter how windy or rainy it comes. Not to mention the cold, the road is icy and traffic accidents are prone to occur.
He likes summer rain and often walks under the rain with an umbrella.
These preferences have become habits and will not disappear just because of time travel, so he feels uncomfortable when he sees the heavy snow.
Yuzhu came over with a plate of cakes and carefully advised: "Master, eat something to cushion your stomach and go to the palace quickly. If you don't go to the palace, the meeting will be over."
"Hey." Chen Jingke sighed heavily and accepted his fate: "Okay, go get my leather jacket, I will wear it later."
Before Yuzhu could say anything, Yi Nu on the side objected: "No, you have asthma and can't wear furs. That's what you said yourself. Besides, we didn't buy you a fur coat, so you won't be able to wear one even if you want to."
Chen Jingke's face became even more bitter and he said, "Hey, go get the kapok clothes."
Both of them had their own secrets and pretended that what happened last night never happened.
Yi Nu turned around and took out the kapok clothes from the closet and arranged them for him.
After eating a few pieces of pastries and changing into bloated cotton clothes, Chen Jingke shouted again: "Bitter, bitter, bitter."
The two maids were so amused by him that they couldn't stop laughing.
…
After changing clothes and taking an umbrella, I first went to see my master, Sun Simiao, and greeted him to go out.
Sun Simiao was writing furiously and didn't know what to write. He didn't even raise his head and just waved for him to leave.
He led several followers all the way to the outside of the palace and entered the palace through Changle Gate.
It's a pity that he came too late. The court meeting started early, so it would be inappropriate for him to run there in the middle of the meeting.
When participating in certain activities, you either go with everyone or not. It is most taboo to go halfway, as it is rude and at first glance.
This is how it is now. If you suddenly burst in, you will be the center of attention.
So he simply didn't go and asked a chamberlain to go in and quietly say hello to Changsun Wugou and say he was here.
His original intention was to walk around the palace after saying hello, such as Sanqing Temple. He hadn't been back since he had been away for so long, so he just happened to go see everyone.
After the court meeting was over, he met Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou to pay New Year's greetings and live together.
What he didn't expect was that soon the chamberlain who reported the news would come back, followed by Sun Fucai and two palace maids.
The key point is that these two palace ladies are none other than Jinyang Princess Li Mingda's nanny, and the other is her eldest maid.
No doubt, little Sizi was held in the nurse's arms.
She was dressed very festively for the Chinese New Year. She wore a red embroidered jacket that made her face look fairer and rosier. Her hair was tied up and she wore a few simple but exquisite accessories.
But she looked a little unhappy, pouting her mouth as if she was sulking.
But when she saw Chen Jingke, her big eyes lit up instantly, and she no longer lost her temper. She waved her little arms and said happily: "Brother, brother..."
Chen Jingke was also very happy to see her. He took a few steps forward and reached out to pick her up, saying, "Xiao Sizi, do you miss me?"
The little girl hugged his neck and said crisply: "Yes, I think so."
"Aren't you happy?"
"happy."
"You're so good, I didn't hurt you in vain."
"Giggle..."
After the old man and the young man were reunited, Sun Fucai saluted and said, "See the real man, and wish him long life and good health."
Hearing this old-fashioned congratulations, Chen Jingke couldn't help but laugh and said: "Haha, I also wish you good health and all the best. Why did you come here in person? My aunt has something to explain?"
Sun Fucai shook his head and said: "No, the queen is afraid that you will have nowhere to go, so she asked me to take you and Sanniangzi back to the Li Zheng Palace."
Chen Jingke was quite speechless when he heard this. When he saw the little Sizi, he knew that this must be a good thing done by some unreliable mother who left the child to someone else.
Anyone who has ever taken care of a child knows how torturing this is. If you have the opportunity to leave it to someone else, you will never touch it.
It’s not just dumped to someone casually, it must be someone who trusts the child and is willing to accept it, usually other family members.
Changsun Wugou naturally believed in him, and little Sizi was bribed by him with toys and delicious food. He was very close to this new brother.
So it was normal to leave the little Sizi to his care.
This is Chen Jingke's idea.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that he had guessed the answer completely wrong.
Of course, from another perspective, if he could guess the answer, he would be worse than a real alchemist.
Three or four years old is the age when children learn to speak. They mutter endless words, and many times they don't understand what they say at all.
The same goes for little Sizi, who hugged his neck and chattered endlessly.
Chen Jingke is very patient. He answers seriously when he understands. If he doesn't understand, he pretends to understand and responds with "um um ah ah".
Many times children don't need you to understand, they just need someone to listen to them, that's all.
When she encountered certain words, she would stutter and enunciate clearly. Chen Jingke would teach her word for word, so the little girl didn't bother to learn very seriously.
Children's learning ability, or imitation ability, is actually very strong. They can learn short sentences of five words or less several times.
Every time at this time, Chen Jingke would say in an exaggerated tone: "Xiao Sizi is really great and smart, and he can learn it as soon as he learns it."
The little girl knew that this was a compliment to her, so she smiled very happily and became more interested in learning.
The nanny and maid who followed behind were also very happy and had a good impression of Chen Jingke.
They have taken care of Xiao Sizi since she was born, so their relationship is naturally very deep, not to mention that she is also related to their status and future.
Sun Fucai, who was leading the way, seemed to be infected by them, with a smile on his lips.
Back at the Zhengdian Hall, Chen Jingke, who was afraid of the cold, originally wanted to go back to the house to rest, but children always yearn for the outside world, not to mention it was still snowing outside.
He couldn't resist the little Sizi, so he could only play with her in the snow in the garden under an umbrella.
Not surprisingly, she disliked umbrellas very much and would always hide and hide, with Chen Jingke chasing after her.
The more he behaves like this, the happier the little girl becomes and the more energetic she becomes in hiding.
After a while, the little girl began to sweat on her forehead, and Chen Jingke no longer felt cold.
The snow kept coming and going, and it soon accumulated a thick layer on the ground. Flowers, grass, trees, roofs and walls were all covered with a layer of white, just like thousands of pear trees in bloom.
The Great Court Meeting also ended early because of the heavy snow. Changsun Wugou came back early in the afternoon. Li Shimin still had a lot of things to do and he didn't know when he would be finished.
Chen Jingke paid New Year's greetings to his eldest grandson Wugao, and played here for a while before getting up to leave and return to Zixiao Temple.
There are also New Year celebration activities waiting for him to participate in the temple.
