It was in the afternoon when the three of them went to Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and they happened to be waiting for the son-in-law to come back to meet him, have dinner together, and then return to Jingpingyuan.
In the next few days, Su Wan divided the cloth and tonics he brought and sent them to the two families. The fabrics were all very good, just in time to buy some new clothes for the people in the family.
Su Luo got a box of jewelry and was very happy. She changed it every day and almost tried to wear every piece once. If anyone asked about it when she went out, they would always say that the Sixth Sister gave it to her, and there were many more.
The girls all envy her for having a good sister, and Su Luo also thinks the sixth sister is particularly good.
It was also Su Xun's birthday. It had been three years since Su Wan had spent his birthday with Su Xun. The first year was because he was far away in the Western Wei Dynasty, the second year was because the child was only a few months old and the weather was cold, and the third year was because the child was only a few months old and the weather was cold. The same goes for years.
The child is still young, and the weather is still quite cold at the end of January, so it is really difficult to take him out. I always wait for the weather to warm up before running.
Su Xun should have been happy, but because Su Wan's family was leaving this year, and when Huo Yan came back or sent someone to pick him up, Su Xun would also be leaving. He really couldn't be happy and felt really reluctant to leave.
When he was reluctant to leave, he liked to glare at Li Lin and wanted to beat him up.
Li Lin felt guilty and did not dare to touch his father-in-law's bad luck, so he could only let him stare at him. Over time, he got used to it.
January passed and February came. Su Wan had nothing to do, so she went shopping with her husband and children to see if there was anything she liked and bought some, or if there was something she had eaten and liked, she would eat it, etc. After leaving, she was afraid she would never be able to taste this taste again.
After having Suichuan's help, Su Wan really has a lot of free time. All her business now has Suichuan helping to handle it. All she needs to do is check the account books, check the accounts, and collect the money when the time comes.
As for other trivial matters, Suichuan can help arrange them one by one.
Li Lin accompanies her on the streets, walking through the streets in her memory. Sometimes he has to explain to his son what this is, what that is, and why.
Occasionally, Su Wan bought food and gave some to the father and son, and the family happily went shopping.
Shizai held his father's hand, holding a windmill in his hand, eating a sweet and sour preserve in his mouth, his little face wrinkled and relaxed, and he walked with his short legs to keep up with his parents.
But when he got tired, he started to dawdle, saying that he was tired and wanted to be hugged.
Li Lin held his hand, a little disgusted: "Why can't you walk again?"
Shi Zai said matter-of-factly: "Zai Zai is still young. When I grow up to be as tall as daddy, Zai Zai won't be tired anymore."
"Daddy, I want a hug."
Li Lin had no choice but to pick him up. Shizai hugged his father's neck and looked down at the people on the street, extremely happy.
"I'm so cummed, so cummed!"
Su Wan teased him from the side: "Yes, you are so tall now."
Shi Zai glanced around, and suddenly saw a familiar person in the crowd not far away. He thought for a while, suddenly remembered who the other person was, and then he became happy.
"Dad, it's brother! Brother!"
Su Wan asked funnyly: "What brother? Which brother are you? Don't go around calling other people brother because of your cuteness."
Li Lin raised his eyes and took a look, then said to her: "Mingjing is here."
The group of people walked over and soon saw Zhao Mingjing. He was wearing a blue robe and walking casually among the crowd with a guard beside him. When he saw someone looking at him, he raised his eyes slightly.
The boy who used to be somewhat gloomy and taciturn has changed in just a few years, becoming dignified, elegant and casual and gentle.
Seeing the three of them, he smiled and said, "Sir, Mistress, did you take Ah Chi out shopping today?"
"Ashi, do you still remember senior brother?"
Shi Zai couldn't help but nod: "Remember, he is Zai Zai's brother."
Zhao Mingjing went to Shiqiao Village in October last year, spent his birthday with this boy, and brought him many gifts. He just became like an elder brother in his heart.
Moreover, Zhao Mingjing had visited Jingpingyuan a few days ago, so Shi Zai would naturally remember him.
Zhao Mingjing smiled: "Yes, it's my brother. Do you want to come down and give me a hug?"
Shi Zai turned to look at his father, and when he saw that it was his father who nodded, he struggled to get down.
On weekdays, he often wanted to be hugged when he was lazy, but Li Lin didn't agree, so the guards didn't dare to hug him. Over time, he learned to ask his father what he meant.
Zhao Mingjing picked him up, then smiled, Shi Zai hugged the other person's neck, and then started to make a request appropriately: "Brother, Zai Zai wants to buy candied haws."
Su Wan's eyelids twitched and he couldn't help shouting: "Ashi."
Shi Zai likes to eat sweet things, and they are not greasy. He only eats the sweet candies on the outside of the candied haws. Su Wan is afraid that he will have tooth decay, so he does not dare to let him eat more.
Shi Zai puffed up his cheeks when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say that he wanted to eat.
Zhao Mingjing looked at him like this and smiled, feeling a little envious in his heart. Being loved and cared for by his parents when he was young was what everyone in the world wanted. He was so happy.
Zhao Mingjing's biological mother was just a palace maid of humble origin. She was given the title of concubine after giving birth to him, and she died young. In the emperor's heart, he had the prince born by the Empress Yuan and the grown-up King Sui and King Ming. He is a young and unremarkable boy.
His mother regarded him as a tool for climbing up, and his father regarded him as a transparent person. In those years, he was looked down upon. Even the eunuchs and maids in the palace dared to bully him, but he returned the favor without leaving a trace.
Now that things had turned around, he, who was looked down upon by others, became the Crown Prince of the East Palace and the heir to the throne. There were many people who flattered him and were willing to work for him, but he felt that he was not very happy at all.
He liked Ah Shi very much and felt that he had gotten something that he had longed for but had never gotten. He also hoped that he would always be happy.
He reached out and pinched the other person's bulging face, and asked tentatively: "Senior brother, can I take you to eat delicious food instead of eating candied haws?"
Shizai thought for a while and nodded politely: "Okay then."
So the group of people went to a restaurant. Zhao Mingjing asked someone to buy some children's food and send it over. The biscuits were made into various beautiful shapes. Shizai liked it very much when he saw it, and he immediately told the story about the candied haws. Forgot it.
Su Wan sat aside and watched Shi Zai eat to prevent him from eating too much. Li Lin and Zhao Mingjing sat down and chatted.
Zhao Mingjing poured a cup of tea for Li Lin, and Li Lin asked him, "Why did you come out today?"
Zhao Mingjing said: "If I have nothing to do, I like to go out and walk around the streets and alleys. Sometimes, only after seeing more can I know what the people need."
"But it's a pity that I can't leave the Imperial City now. If I could, I would like to visit various places."
