Next door, Liu Quan was about to go pick up Little Jing Kong when he saw the two of them at the doorstep and was slightly surprised, "Oh? You guys are back?"
"Hello, Uncle Liu!" Little Jing Kong politely greeted him.
The little guy was wearing the raincoat made for him by Gu Jiao, as well as a small hat that went with the raincoat.
He liked shiny golden things, but Gu Jiao didn't have access to gold-colored dyes, so she settled for yellow instead.
The raincoat itself was very beautiful, but with all the ugly big red flowers Little Jing Kong had drawn on it, it became somewhat indescribable. It relied on the cuteness of his face to make up for it.
Excessively ugly but adorable.
On the other hand, the Hanlin official Xiao Liulang was holding a childish little yellow umbrella, looking a bit funny.
Liu Quan said with a smile, "It's good that you guys are back. I'll go pick up my Lord then."
"Goodbye, Uncle Liu!" Little Jing Kong waved politely to him.
Liu Quan then turned to Xiao Liulang and said, "Liulang, you should change into dry clothes. You're all wet."
Xiao Liulang agreed.
One big and one small entered the courtyard.
There was no one at home. Gu Jiao was out on a house visit and hadn't returned yet. Yao shi had been invited by Grandma Zhou to her house. Although their house was not far away in Bishui Alley, with the sudden heavy rain, Grandma Zhou was worried that Yao Shi might slip, so she asked her to wait until the rain stopped before leaving.
Yuya’er and Grannie Fang were also there.
As for Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun, it went without saying that they were both away learning their crafts.
Little Jing Kong alone splashing in the water wasn't enough, so he ran to the backyard and let out Little Eight, Little Nine, and the seven little chickens to splash in the water together with him.
The nine divine beasts in the house expressed that they didn't want to splash in the water!
Xiao Liulang changed into dry clothes in the west room and then went to the study room, taking out the arithmetic book from the State of Yan, continuing his study and calculation of ancestral rates.
After splashing in the water for a while, Little Jing Kong skittered into the study and approached his desk, holding his little tummy and saying with an awkward expression, "I'm hungry."
Xiao Liulang glanced at him and said, "Are you sure you want to eat something I cook?"
Little Jing Kong choked a bit and stuttered, "Th-then, maybe not."
His bad brother-in-law's cooking was too terrible; he could endure a little longer with his hunger.
Little Jing Kong's stomach growled loudly. Even after eating candied fruits and snacks, he still wasn't satisfied, he was a child with a big appetite after all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have competed with other little monks for food in the past.
Xiao Liulang still went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of vegetable and egg noodles for him.
Looking at the dark noodles on the table, Little Jing Kong's heart refused to accept it.
Xiao Liulang handed him the chopsticks, "Go ahead and eat."
Little Jing Kong sat on his own little chair with a small horizontal board in front of it. He didn't immediately take the chopsticks but looked at Xiao Liulang with great seriousness, "I just want to ask, would you eat this bowl of noodles if it’s you?"
Xiao Liulang calmly responded, "It's not my stomach growling with hunger right now."
Little Jing Kong lowered his head. His bad brother-in-law made a reasonable point, leaving him speechless.
In the end, hunger prevailed.
"Alas." Little Jing Kong sighed and reached out his small hand to take the chopsticks. Resigned to his fate, he started eating.
It wasn't far from mealtime, but Xiao Liulang wasn't hungry. However, he didn't let Little Jing Kong eat alone in the main room.
He directly moved Little Jing Kong, along with his little chair, to the study. The little guy ate his own meal while he did his calculations.
Little Jing Kong was halfway through his meal when he suddenly looked at Xiao Liulang with bitterness and said, "Can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead." Xiao Liulang didn't look up, continuing to work on the arithmetic problems in his hands.
Little Jing Kong, full of curiosity, asked, "How do you manage to make every meal worse than the previous one?"
Xiao Liulang glanced at him and shamelessly answered, "Put in effort, cook well, and it'll happen."
Little Jing Kong: "..."
Little Jing Kong knew he couldn't learn that skill because even the sweet potatoes he roasted at the age of three were already tastier than what his bad brother-in-law made.
Little Jing Kong had developed the good habit of not wasting food in the temple, so no matter how bad it tasted, he gritted his teeth and finished eating.
"Are you full?" Xiao Liulang asked, looking at the empty dark bowl in front of him.
Little Jing Kong pursed his lips, looking serious, "After cooking something so terrible, do you really expect someone to eat a second bowl... Alas, congratulations, you've achieved your long-cherished wish." 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝘰𝓋𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝓂
Wu, he couldn't help it if he wasn't full yet!
Xiao Liulang knew that the little monk's stomach wasn't easily filled. He had also steamed vegetarian jerky, corn, and sweet potatoes in the pot for him. They should be ready by now.
He took away the empty bowl in front of Little Jing Kong and went to the kitchen to bring the steamed vegetarian jerky, corn, and sweet potatoes.
Little Jing Kong crossed his arms and turned his face away, "I don't want this plate."
He had very beautiful tableware!
Xiao Liulang calmly said, "You're still being picky? Eat it or don't, I won't spoil you."
Reluctantly, Little Jing Kong picked up the chopsticks and pouted, "A child without JiaoJiao is treated like a weed!"
Xiao Liulang: "..."
Taking care of a child required a lot of energy. Xiao Liulang soon felt tired, but this fatigue seemed different from the usual fatigue. He felt a bit dizzy and his head was pounding.
After the meal, Little Jing Kong went to the backyard to wash the dishes. The cupboard was too high for him to reach, so he had to tiptoe and place the clean dishes and chopsticks on the stove one by one. contemporary romance
He also took a damp cloth and planned to wipe his own little table.
But as soon as he entered the study, he sensed that something was wrong.
Huh?
His bad brother-in-law was lying on the table and sleeping?
It wasn't even dark yet!
Little Jing Kong trotted over, tilting his head and calling out, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"
No response.
Little Jing Kong thought for a moment, "Ah Heng~"
Still no response.
Little Jing Kong let out a strange cry of surprise as he reached out his little hand, which was just holding the damp cloth, and touched Xiao Liulang's forehead, "Ah! It's so hot!"
Xiao Liulang fell ill, suddenly and without warning. His whole body was burning up, and his mind turned into mush.
Xiao Liulang's dream continued, with him returning to the princess mansion.
Today, Zhuang Xianzhi came to teach Wen Linlang. Originally, it was supposed to be held at the Wen Residence, but it was too far, so they changed the location to the princess mansion.
Wen Linlang was his fiancee, so he accompanied her in class.
After Zhuang Xianzhi finished the lecture, they were given a short break.
Wen Linlang complained, "Ah Heng, Teacher Zhuang's class is too difficult. How about we go out and play instead?"
He nodded, as going out meant he could see his mother.
The two of them went to the back mountain.
Wen Linlang spotted a wounded rabbit, "Ah Heng, this little rabbit is injured. Can we bring it home?"
His mother's pet rabbit had just passed away not long ago, and she had been sad about it for a long time.
"Ah Heng, I want to eat jujubes. Can you pick some from the tree for me?"
His mother also liked eating jujubes. He climbed up the tree and picked some.
"Ah Heng, can you buy some osmanthus cake for me?"
His mother also enjoyed osmanthus cake. He hopped onto a carriage and went to buy it.
As he excitedly carried the rabbit, held a pocketful of jujubes, and carried a box of osmanthus cakes, he went to find Princess Xinyang. However, what he saw was a face filled with indifference and world-weariness.
"Ah Heng." She beckoned to him and smiled.
He walked over slowly, "Mother, are you feeling unwell?"
She looked at him meaningfully, "Ah Heng, do you love your mother?"
"I love mother."
"Are you willing to do anything for your mother?"
"I am willing!" He said firmly.
"Then, are you willing to die for me... Ah Heng, go die for mother, all right?"
