As June approaches, the weather gets hotter and hotter. At dusk, Chu Qing comes from the yamen and has a wet back.
"Go and say to the third young master and the fourth girl, dinner is placed in the waterfront." Before entering the bathroom, Chu Qing said irritably. On such a hot day, if you don't find a cool place to eat, you will have no appetite at all.
Wanyun obediently retreated and sent the little maid to pass the message. She turned around and went into the bathroom to serve Chu Qing to wipe her back. The man who often fought on the battlefield was covered with new and old scars, but just like the shallow scar on his left face, these scars not only did not detract from his handsomeness, but instead showed his heroism.
When she turned to the front, Wanyun's face turned into the night clouds, red and not ugly at all. It was even more pity for her to be shy. In addition, she was hot in the bathroom. When she wiped, her clothes became a little wet, and she pressed her tightly against her body, adding to her temptation.
Unfortunately, Chu Qing leaned against the wooden barrel and closed his eyes to rest, and didn't see it at all.
Wanyun bit her lip secretly and looked at the faintly visible in the water, and was even more disappointed. When the Marquis thought of women, he called a few from the Baihua Garden, and even the troubles were all there. He didn't want to do so, just like at this moment, she was a living person by her side, and he didn't even look at it, and he didn't even react at all.
After wiping, Chu Qing was refreshed and ignored the obvious move of spring. The maid who was so moved by heart went straight to the Lotus Courtyard. He knew that he was liked by women. From childhood to adulthood, almost all the maids around him didn't want to serve him, but Chu Qing didn't like to touch them. He didn't care whether the maids were moved at all times. He continued to use them obediently, and those who dared to have bad thoughts would be sent out directly.
When I arrived at the Lotus Courtyard, I saw my youngest son wearing white gauze pants with an embroidered carp trousers on it, and was squatting under the shade of the tree to play with the dog, and his little butt was facing him. Chu Qing couldn't help laughing, and he was a little envious. It's just a good kid, so he wears it when he's cool.
"What is A Xun doing?" he stood in the corridor, asked with a smile, and took a look at the hall.
"Dad!" Hearing his father calling him, Ah Xun stood up happily, pointed at Heihei and said, "I'm tickling Heihei!"
"You don't bother you." Chu Qing walked over and led his son in. After walking a few steps, he saw his daughter coming out, covered in a green puff, and was refreshing and cool.
"Dad or not?" Hanzhu asked the man to sit outside and asked softly.
"Let's have a bowl of iced sour plum soup." Chu Qing said with a smile. After his daughter ordered the servant to sit opposite him, he touched his son who was leaning against his legs and asked the siblings, "I'll take a break tomorrow. Do you want to go where do you want to go? We have a farm outside the city, and my dad will take you to escape the summer heat?"
In the summer, Hanzhu doesn't want to make trouble. In her opinion, the summer in the capital is not as hot as Jiangnan, but the sun is particularly dazzling. No matter how beautiful Hanzhu is, she is also a spoiled girl. She is afraid that she will be tanned after staying under the sun for a long time, so she said, "Dad has a rare rest, so let's have fun in the mansion. When it gets cooler, it's okay to take us out when you have time."
Although he declined politely, he said it very comfortably and was considerate that he was tired from working as a job.
Chu Qing felt comfortable all over. The maid brought the sour plum soup. While he savored it, he asked the brothers and sisters what they had done in the daytime. It was almost the same. There was a cool breeze outside. Then he stood up and said, "Let's go, we are still having meals in the water pavilion today, and it's cool there."
A Xun was about to walk out happily, but was stopped by Hanzhu, changed his sleeveless jacket, and then applied cool mosquito repellent water to his neck and arms exposed outside. She was gentle and friendly, A Xun was honestly at the mercy of his sister. Chu Qing next to him looked at his daughter's gentle appearance in taking care of his younger brother. All the troubles in the officialdom seemed to be gone, and he felt peaceful.
In the water chestnut, Chu Hong and his sister were already waiting. Seeing Chu Qing and Hanzhu coming from afar, Chu Man pursed her lips.
Chu Hong has been paying attention to her sister since her Dragon Boat Festival fell into the water. Seeing her showing her unhappy look, she whispered: "Fourth brother is young, Dad likes to tease him. If you are a few years younger, Dad will definitely go to see you." The implication is that my father may not have passed by because he likes his sister more.
Chu Man felt a lot more comfortable after hearing this. Ah Xun was still young, so she wouldn't compete for favor with a child.
"Are Dad tired today?" Remembering his aunt's instructions, Chu Man walked to his father with a smile and asked considerately.
Recently, the youngest daughter has returned to her original cheerfulness. Seeing that he would act like he used to be coquettish, Chu Qing was quite happy and sat down and said, "Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with the yamen recently." When he spoke, he looked at her little daughter carefully, his eyes swept over her earlobe, and he smiled, "When did I buy such a pair of earrings? It's unique enough."
Hanzhu looked over curiously and saw Chu Man wearing a pair of pink agate-shaped peach-shaped earrings. The peaches were cute and made the little girl look cute and playful.
Chu Man noticed her gaze and felt very proud. He pouted and walked up to Chu Qing, pretending to be unhappy and said angrily: "This was given to me by my dad when I was nine years old. Dad took me to the temple fair. When I fell in love with this pair of earrings, Dad laughed at me for being greedy."
Chu Qing frowned and recalled the memories slowly. Just as she was about to laugh, she suddenly heard her younger son ask her sister what a temple fair is.
Hanzhu went to a few temple fairs when she was in Hangzhou and explained softly: "There are many people setting up stalls to sell things, some of them playing monkeys, performers, and circles. There are many fun things anyway."
Ah Xun blinked and asked enviously: "Sister has been there? When did you go there, why didn't you take me?"
Hanzhu choked and looked at Chu Qing instinctively. She had been there, but she really didn't know if Chu Han had been there. Fang and the others could not tell her such trivial matters one by one.
Her eyes had other meanings in Chu Qing's eyes. He had taken his younger daughter there, but never accompanied her elder daughter.
Chu Qing smiled awkwardly and called to A Xun: "A Xun is here, there will be a temple fair in August this year. Dad will take you to see it."
Fortunately, he still has the opportunity to compensate a pair of sons and daughters.
Ah Xun ran to her father excitedly and pestered her father to tell him about the temple fair. Chu Man sat on the other side of Chu Qing, interrupting from time to time, quietly observing Hanzhu when she spoke. Seeing her turn her head and looking at the lake view, she felt a little sad. For the first time in half a year, she felt that her chest was not so gambled.
After dinner, Chu Man went to Aunt Xia's side. The mother and the mother were enjoying the cool air in the yard, and the maids were standing in the distance.
"She is really unhappy?" Aunt Xia asked softly.
Chu Man nodded, his tone was rare and very brisk, "Yes, it would be strange if she could be happy when she heard that Dad was nice to me."
Aunt Xia became more and more sure that Chu Han was pretending to have amnesia. True amnesia and Zhen did not care about Chu Qing and her sister, so how could she enjoy such a thing? It is precisely because Chu Han remembers that she hated her daughter and secretly used plans to premeditate her daughter's life.
If you don’t fight head-on and force the other party to be furious first, she will reveal her flaws.
"Your father will rest tomorrow. Manman begs dad to accompany you to fish and call your elder sister and fourth brother." Aunt Xia touched her daughter's black and soft hair and said with a smile.
Chu Man had the sweet taste today, and even if she didn't understand the meaning of her mother doing this, she still responded happily. She discovered that the legitimate sister was very good at pretending, pretending not to care about her father's love, and never acted coquettishly. But she used the wrong method before and took the initiative to alienate her father, so that her father would prefer her. In the future, as long as she got along with her father like before, the legitimate sister would definitely feel unhappy when she saw how her father treated her.
When I was having breakfast the next day, Chu Man looked at the dining table and said disappointedly: "Dad, I want to eat fish..."
Chu Qing was feeding her youngest son to dinner, and laughed and said, "I want to eat for lunch, and I will let the kitchen make it for you."
Chu Man leaned over to him and said sweetly: "I want to eat the fish that my father caught myself. Dad hasn't fished for us for a long time. It just so happens that Dad doesn't have to go out today. Can you fish with us later?"
Chu Qing had already planned to spend a day with the children today. After thinking about it, he asked his youngest son sitting next to him, "Does Ah Xun want to learn fishing?"
Ah Xun was at the age of playfulness. When he heard the fish, he raised his head and asked, "Fish by boat?" He wanted to take a boat.
Chu Qing laughed, "Yes, let's sit on the boat and fish."
Ah Xun nodded immediately and turned to look at his sister, "Sister, go too!"
Hanzhu politely rejected Chu Qing once yesterday. Chu Qing was in a good mood now, so she naturally would not disappoint her. She agreed with a smile.
Unexpectedly, when the family was talking and laughing, Chu Yuan and his sister came over there, with Chu Qiang holding an umbrella in his hands, Chu Yuan stood outside, holding a wooden barrel fishing rod in both hands, obviously he was also fishing with his sister.
"Second Uncle." The brother and sister came over and greeted Chu Qing together.
Chu Qing laughed loudly and said, "Okay, we think of going to one place. Then we will compare to see who caught more fish."
Chu Qiang looked at the family of five and grabbed Hanzhu and said, "It's better, the second uncle, the third brother and fourth sister, and the sister and our team, how do we compare to the sum?"
"I'll be with you too!" Ah Xun ran to the middle of his two sisters anxiously, hugged his own sister's thigh and said.
The little guy had to stick to his sister whenever he did, and Hanzhu and Chu Qiang both laughed out loud.
Chu Qing didn't want her daughter to part with her, and she seemed to be absent, but her niece said so, so he didn't have to object anymore, so he led the way on the boat.
