Linglong blinked: "Didn't you know that my sister-in-law is here? My sister-in-law also said that you asked her to deliver some supplements."
Linlang paused and pondered for a moment before replying: "Oh, I just said it casually. I didn't expect her to come."
Jun Gong raised his eyebrows: "We have been together all this time. When did you ask her to come?"
Linlang waved her hand: "Just come. I didn't mean to go around her, or I just happened to get sidetracked."

Qingshan looked at Xiumei and kept looking outside, guessing that he was thinking about Li Ning: "The weather is cold, let Commander Li come in and have something to eat."
Jun Gong called Li Ning into the yard.
Li Ning came over and Qi Jungon patted the stool next to him: "Sit down and have something to eat together."
Li Ning saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness." He sat down with some restraint and used a big skewer to tie up a piece of barbecue.
Xiumei's eyes revolved around him, and he secretly looked at Xiumei from time to time.
Qingshan smiled, "Well, this girl's life-long events are all set."
Qi Linlang sighed deeply and chatted for another half an hour before the two brothers said goodbye and left.
————
On the way, Qi Jungon asked: "Brother, didn't you come to ask about Xiumei's marriage? Why didn't you say anything?"
Qi Linlang glanced back: "Your guard commander has already lived in Xiumei's heart. Big brother is old."
Jun Gong looked back at Li Ning, who was standing tall and tall. He was really cool. He nodded, "You can do it, you can defeat the prince."

The next morning, the female family members of the ministers and relatives of the emperor, as long as they had some friendship with her, came to pay their respects to Linglong.
The threshold of the princess mansion was almost broken.
Linglong felt extremely annoyed.
After trying to be dignified all morning, I couldn't stand it anymore.
Her pregnancy was a big secret, and she had to pretend to be a little bit shy when outsiders came.
But she kept craving for food and sometimes felt nauseous. Being seen by outsiders might be troublesome.
"Husband! Let's hide away. You haven't visited Jade City yet! Let's go shopping incognito~"
Qingshan naturally followed her, and the two of them put on the brocade robes worn by young ladies from rich families, put on cloaks, took a few guards in casual clothes, and went out in a carriage.
The weather has gotten colder, and there is a chill in my mouth whenever I speak.
Qingshan took out a white and red fox fur coat from the space and covered Linglong's knees.
————
As soon as Qingshan came out of the mountain, he saw the eldest son, prince, emperor and queen of Sheng Kingdom, empress of Qi Kingdom, and the Supreme Emperor and Supreme Lord. I have almost seen all the big shots in the world today.
But he has never spent money, gone shopping, experienced luxury and enjoyment, and does not know what prosperity is.
Every time I go out to do errands, I come and go in a hurry, and all I see all day long is official roads.
At this time, when he arrived at East Street, he had seen it. Why were there so many people?
————
Crowded. The crowds are dense.
The people's faces were full of joy, the girls were in full bloom, and the men were holding their heads high.
Vendors were hawking and merchants were waiting for customers. In this lively atmosphere, he thought it was about to celebrate the New Year.
The eldest girl and her daughter-in-law go together on the street to choose headwear, ornaments and food.
Looking further into the shops, we can see young ladies from wealthy families picking out gold, silver, rouge, gouache, and glossy silk.
Qingshan was stunned: "It's so lively."
Linglong dragged him into a dim sum shop. The shelves were full of dim sum boxes, and the box after box of dim sum was something Qingshan had never seen before.
Qingshan was happy to see it, and Linglong stared into his eyes. After taking a few glances at which snack he was looking at, she ordered her waiter to wrap it up.
"This, this, this, this, and this, that, and that, yes, and this, and that, wrap it all up."
Qingshan looked at Linglong: "You want so many?"
Linglong blinked: "Is that much? Try every one. You have a big appetite, so you can finish it."
The guard followed behind with things, and the two happily went to the food stalls. In this row of food stalls, there were seven or eight different flavors of oil cakes, as well as crisp tea, glutinous rice balls, twists, meatballs, and dried meat. , preserved fruit, fruit pulp drink, roast chicken and duck.
Linglong's eyes lit up when she saw these things, she took out a bag of silver and handed it to Qingshan: "Husband, I want to eat preserved fruits, I want some of every kind!"
Qingshan looked at the silver and then at Linglong, feeling a little at a loss: "Should I buy it?" He had never spent the money with his own hands.
"Yes, buy more!"
Linglong found a tea stall and sat down to drink crisp tea, her beautiful eyes always looking at Qingshan's figure.
A quarter of an hour later, Qingshan came back holding a big basket.
Qingshan showed off with a glowing face: "Daughter-in-law, look, there are more than ten kinds of preserved fruits, each weighing one kilogram. There are also walnuts and pine nuts. I think they are good, so I bought a few kilograms. I also bought the basket from the dried fruit stall. This basket is big enough and can hold a lot of things. You drink slowly and I’ll go take a look!”
Qingshan squeezed into the crowd with a big basket in his arms. Several guards protected Linglong, and saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess kept smiling.

A pair of women drinking tea next to them chatted: "Qingshan Academy has really done great things. Most of the city's eager and clever children have gone there, taking care of the food and teaching. I heard that the number one scholar often gives lectures."
Linglong felt happy and said to herself, the people are praising Qingshan.
"The number one scholar? Isn't Qingshan Academy founded by the number one scholar Wu? He can also teach the Four Books and Five Classics? Is he both civil and military?"
"What, he has never been to the academy. He just went out to a place and brought out some food. The one who is worried about it is Lord Wen Zhuangyuan, Mr. Bai. Of course, Mr. Bai is also the one who gives lectures."
"Oh~ Let's put it this way, Master Bai has contributed more. Thinking about it, Master Bai comes from a famous family and is the number one scholar in this class. Naturally, he has a noble character and a high level of realm."
"This is natural. Those who are trained by first-class officials are naturally different from those who rely on brute force."
The more Linglong listened, the angrier she became. It was clearly Qingshan who had contributed money and effort to build the academy, but Bai only gave a few lectures, so why did he contribute the most! As a helper, he is more popular than a serious boss.
Linglong groaned, people named Bai are really annoying.
————
Qingshan came back carrying a large basket of delicious food and fun, and saw Linglong frowning: "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong? Are you tired of waiting?"
Linglong frowned and said, "Starting from tomorrow, you will go to the academy to give lectures!"
Qingshan was stunned: "Lecture? What are you talking about?"
Linglong thought for a while: "Preach the Tao Te Ching!"
Qingshan took a look and realized that his wife must have been stimulated by something.
With all the people coming and going, could it be possible that someone said something bad?
He helped Linglong stand up: "Daughter-in-law, I listen to you. Tell me, what happened?"
Linglong looked at him: "You are an honest person, and all your credit has been taken away by others."
Qingshan yelled: "Gentlemen give lectures and should be respected. Why should I argue with them?"
Linglong said angrily: "I won't be angry if the gentlemen take away the credit."
Qingshan originally had something to say, but he was overcome by her temper. He blinked and held it in for a while: "There is Yigui Textile in front. I see that the rich ladies have gone to buy a lot of fabrics. People say, The winter solstice will be here in a few days. The rule in Yucheng is that during the winter solstice, women must make cotton-padded clothes for their husbands. You are precious, so naturally you don’t need to do it yourself. Can you go pick a piece of fabric for me with your own hands? "
