A few light snows fell, and as we entered the twelfth lunar month, the weather in Jiuji also felt bitingly cold.
On the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Ji An finished his homework and after dinner, he looked up at Yan Yang and Qi Changyan.
He rinsed his mouth first, cleared his throat, and then said with bright eyes: "Dad, grandma, on the tenth day of the lunar month, can we go to Meishan to see the plum blossoms?"
He heard the little fat man say that there were so many flowers in Meishan and the place was so big. He was eager to go and see it with his own eyes.
Qi Changyan: "Want to go to Meishan?"
"Yes!" Ji'an nodded heavily, his eyes bright.
Qi Changyan has been to Meishan, and that place is indeed worth seeing. After thinking for a while, he glanced at Yan Yang.
Yanyang said casually, "Go wherever you want."
But she may not go. It depends on whether she is lazy that day. If she is too lazy to move by then, she won't go.
Qi Changyan also looked away and said to Ji An: "If it doesn't snow, Xunxiu will take you there on the tenth day of the lunar month."
"Okay!" Ji An was excited and happy.
Yanyang smiled and shook her head slightly. He thought to himself that today was only the fourth day of the lunar month. When the tenth day of the lunar month arrived, he wouldn't have forgotten this.
Ji'an has not forgotten!
He remembered that he got up early on the morning of the tenth day of the lunar month, and even went to his sister's room to drag her up. He got up earlier than his father and mother-in-law!
And the reason why Yanyang got up late... was because she had completely forgotten about this incident. At that time, she didn't pay much attention to it at all, so she regarded today as an ordinary Xun Xiu day.
Even after Qi Changyan got up and walked out, she didn't even think about it. She just grabbed the quilt and moved to the place where he just lay. She continued to curl up and sleep with squinted eyes.
The side where he had just been lying was much warmer than her side.
Yanyang closed her eyes and lay down very comfortably.
However, she did not fall asleep with her eyes closed, and her mind was awake. While he was awake, he suddenly paused and subconsciously moved his eyebrows, wondering when the two of them fell asleep in the same quilt?
Oh, it seems that since he first slept in the main room, the two of them have been sleeping together. However, at that time, they were both caught in the same quilt, but they were invisibly different from each other. Unlike now, she just went with everything that happened after he left.
Yan Yang couldn't help but think again, the two of them seem to have relaxed a bit these days? Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard the door creak and someone came in again.
She thought it was her nanny who had come to help her get up, so she didn't even open her eyes. She just buried her chin into the warm bed again and said in a slightly loud voice, "Mommy, I'll get up later. You go and watch Ji first." An and Shaoshu got up and got dressed."
After a sentence, the footsteps seemed to pause for a moment, but soon, the footsteps came again.
Not long after that, I felt the edge of the quilt press against me, and someone sat down.
Yanyang's eyes tightened.
At this time, her face felt cold, she shrank in coldness and opened her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Changyan's palm close at hand. He was fully dressed and looked down at her, "Ji'an and Shaoshu are already up. They urge us to go to Meishan and don't sleep anymore."
Yanyang: "..."
She frowned for a moment, his hand still on her face and she forgot to avoid the icy cold temperature, and opened her mouth, "...Meishan?"
"Yeah." Qi Changyan nodded, then narrowed his eyes, "Did you forget?"
"...Hmm." Yan Yang finally came to her senses and avoided his cold fingers. Qi Changyan also took his hand back and put it on his lap casually.
"Get up, don't lie down anymore."
Yan Yangxin said you should go with the children, but she wouldn't go. But think about it, she was just a little lazy at the moment and didn't feel any discomfort, so she might as well go.
As she gets older, she should be more active. He nodded and finally got up.
…
Half an hour later, two carriages set off from the governor's residence and headed for Meishan in the northern suburbs.
The plum trees in this Meishan Mountain are vigorous and the cold fragrance is wild. Since they bloomed in winter, there has been an endless stream of literati and poets.
When Qi Changyan and Yan Yang arrived there, before they even got off the carriage, they could see Confucian scholars in green shirts and women playing in the distance near and far.
It was inconvenient for Yanyang to get out of the carriage with her big belly, so she was carefully helped down by Grandma Li.
After standing firmly on the ground, she gathered the white fur around her body more tightly. Looking from a distance, the thick white fur covering her body made it impossible to tell that she was pregnant with Liujia.
Even after the lower abdomen was covered, you could still see a slight bulge, but at a glance, you just thought she was wearing a sleeve stove, which caused the slight bulge in her abdomen.
Qi Changyan glanced at her extremely cold-stricken movements, and glanced at Nanny Li and Huan Zhi beside her, "Be careful, don't fall."
The two of them nodded, "Yes, Second Master."
Ji'an and Shaoshu looked around with eyes wide open. After looking around, they were not satisfied. One raised his eyes to look at Qi Changyan, and the other stretched out his little hand to pull Yanyang's clothes, "Auntie, go in and take a look. You want to see plum bossom."
Yan Yang smiled and nodded in agreement with Shaoshu, "Okay, I'll take you in to see it."
Entering Meishan, the scenery becomes even more beautiful. Plum blossoms of various colors stand proudly and vigorously, and the branches are dotted with colors in the cold wind, which is a sight to behold. Ji'an and Shaoshu walked around dizzy for half an hour. The more they looked at it, the more they looked at it. They looked up at Yan Yang and asked, "Mom, we should plant plum blossoms in the yard, okay?"
Yanyang nodded and said yes.
Both of them were happy, and they continued walking tirelessly deeper with their calves. However, Yanyang was already a little tired, so she stopped by the pavilion to indicate that she was waiting for them here.
Qi Changyan frowned and stopped.
But at this moment Yanyang pushed his hand. When pushing him, her eyes were not looking at him, only looking at her children, "Look at Ji'an and Shaoshu, don't get lost in such a big place."
Qi Changyan: "..."
Almost expressionless, both of them were followed by servants, how could they get lost? But after being pushed by her again, he stared hard for a moment, silently pulled his lips, and walked behind the children.
Yanyang felt relieved when she saw that he had followed. As long as he is here, nothing will happen to the children.
At this time, he touched his belly hidden by his clothes and found a place to sit in the pavilion.
…
Two quarters of an hour later, Qi Changyan came back. Beside him, two children, one tall and one short, followed him.
Ji'an and Shaoshu finally felt tired, but Qi Changyan didn't hug them, and he didn't let his servants hug them either. He just let them go by themselves.
By now, the smaller Shao Shu had already left with a flushed face.
Qi Changyan's eyes were not on his children. At this moment, he was looking at the pavilion that had appeared in his sight not far away, where Yan Yang was talking to someone.
She was very beautiful, and he could see at a glance that the green-coated scholar opposite her had extremely bright eyes when he was talking to her.
Qi Changyan's expression didn't show, but his eyes darkened unconsciously.
The man looked here quietly.
And Yanyang seemed to feel something and looked back.
