Chapter 100 Winter in Shengjing
It rained all night last night and didn't stop until morning.
Cheng Shuyi poked his head out of Pei Yanli's arms to listen to the sound of wind and rain outside the window, feeling this healing yet cold morning.
In the alley, there were faint voices of people shouting, roosters crowing, and pedestrians passing by with umbrellas.
You can hear it in the house.
I stayed in bed for a while, and the air was filled with the unique smell of firewood on a rainy morning.
Cheng Shuyi knew that she had to get up.
The two kids have to go to the academy soon.
"Wake up?" Pei Yanli hugged her tightly and rubbed against her without opening his eyes.
It feels so good to wake up in winter with her by my side.
It seems that he really needs to be shameless enough to stay overnight in her room from now on.
Even if you have to suffer a lot before going to bed.
"Get up." Cheng Shuyi stretched, rolled around in bed, and then got up in one go. "I'll make breakfast, you go wake the kids up."
When the weather gets cold, it becomes difficult for the two cubs to get up.
Every time it takes a long time for him to get up, and sometimes he even cries a few times.
Cheng Shuyi quickly put on his clothes.
When I opened the door, a cold and wet Shengjing morning, washed clean by the rain, came into view.
In the drizzle, the white smoke from cooking is full of the breath of life.
Cheng Shuyi lit a fire and boiled water to wash. Just as the smoke from the Cheng house rose, someone knocked on the door.
She went to open the door in the rain, and saw a carriage surrounded by palace guards parked in the alley.
Mo Xiao lifted the car curtain and greeted her: "Sister-in-law, you are finally up."
He got off the carriage and the guard immediately handed him an umbrella. "The Emperor and I have been waiting for you at the door for half an hour."
As he was speaking, Sheng Hong also got off the carriage.
Sheng Hong only left two guards guarding the door and sent the rest away.
The two of them entered the Cheng residence and walked towards the eaves of the main house.
"Your Highness, the Emperor and General Mo are here." Cheng Shuyi shouted to the two children's room, then went back to make breakfast.
Mo Xiao came to the kitchen holding an umbrella, "Sister-in-law, what delicious food do you have? Make one for me too. The emperor woke me up before dawn, and I haven't had breakfast yet."
They made an appointment last night to go hunting outside the city today to relax.
I thought it was raining, so the date was cancelled.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Hong was stubborn. He showed up at his doorstep before dawn and woke him up from bed.
But when he arrived at Cheng's house, he didn't knock on the door.
He would wait outside the door until he heard some movement in the yard before knocking on the door.
Cheng Shuyi silently took a few more eggs and said, "Okay, go inside and wait for a while."
She still makes hand-pulled pancakes.
Simple and fast.
Sure enough, the two children stayed in bed again.
When Pei Yanli went to the kitchen to get hot water for the child to wash, Cheng Shuyi's hand-pulled pancake was already ready.
In the alley, the children from the White Horse Academy passed by one after another, but there was no time left.
Cheng Shuyi wrapped two hand-pulled pancakes in oil paper, ran to the east wing, stuffed one into each of the children, and let them eat while getting dressed.
"It's raining today, wear rain boots."
The weather is cold. It rained all night last night and the ground is wet everywhere.
If your shoes and socks get wet, your feet will get cold.
Cheng Shuyi helped the two children put on their rain boots, tucked the hems of their robes into their belts, and reminded them, "Remember to put your clothes down when we get to the dormitory, okay?"
The brother and sister ate hand-pulled pancakes and nodded together.
Cheng Shuyi dug out two pairs of gloves and hung them around the children's necks, and also tied scarves on them.
The gloves are made of wool and fleece, a modern item.
Pei Yanli had someone make the scarf, and I heard it was made of silver fox fur.
There are no underground fire dragons in the classrooms of Baima Academy, so warming measures must be taken, otherwise the children will really freeze to death.
Sheng Hong and Mo Xiao had moved from the eaves of the main house to the window of the east wing at some point.
The two looked at the scene in the room, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously rose.
Sheng Hong's harem had only one queen and one concubine. He had a prince before, but he died of illness.
There was no news in the following years.
Mo Xiao was away from the capital for most of the year due to his military campaigns. He hadn't even gotten married, let alone had children.
However, Pei Yanli, who was rumored to be childless, turned out to be the only one among the three of them who had children.
And there are two more!
Look at these two babies, how innocent and cute they are!
"Okay, let's go to the academy." Cheng Shuyi handed the umbrella to the two children.
The two kids, carrying their schoolbags and one holding an oil-paper umbrella, walked into the rain while eating hand-pulled pancakes and headed towards the academy.
Cheng Shuyi also had something to do today, so she re-hired He Guangzhi and prepared to reopen the business.
I have to go out soon.
She went to the kitchen, rolled up all the pancakes, and wrapped them each in wax paper.
She took one for herself and gave the remaining three to Pei Yanli.
"Your Highness, I have the key with me. When you go out hunting later, remember to lock the door."
Cheng Shuyi also took an oil-paper umbrella and opened it.
Like the two children, I ate hand-pulled pancakes and walked into the rain, "I'm going out."
At this point, there were only three men left in the Cheng house.
When Mo Xiao saw the mother and her two children eating the hand-pulled pancake, he couldn't wait to know what it tasted like.
Seeing them going out with umbrellas and eating at the same time, it seems that this cake is delicious.
He immediately took one from Pei Yanli's hand and bit it into his mouth.
The crust is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a hint of burnt aroma. It is served with a fried egg, starch sausage, lettuce, ham slices and crackers.
The taste is rich, the sauce is strong, and the salty and sweet taste is moderate.
It’s really delicious!
Sheng Hong also took a hand-pulled pancake and asked, "Yanli, where is Madam Cheng going? Why did she leave you alone at home?"
In Shengjing, men have always been in charge of external affairs and women are in charge of internal affairs.
After sending the children to school, women usually stay in the inner courtyard to take care of the household.
Cheng Shuyi, on the other hand, walked even faster than them.
Sheng Hong seemed to have forgotten the miracle he had seen at RT-Mart before.
Pei Yanli smiled and said, "Shuyi has her own things to do, and I have my own things to do. She never asks me about what's going on in the court. If she needs me, she'll tell me directly. We don't interfere with each other."
It turns out he had interfered too.
During the time when Cheng Shuyi was seriously ill.
Later he discovered that Cheng Shuyi's vitality needed to be maintained through things that interested her.
He had been to that different world.
There, women are also shining.
Cheng Shuyi was from there and liked to make money, so he stopped interfering since she liked it.
Sheng Hong no longer commented on their family affairs.
He himself believes that people don't have to live the same way, and being able to live differently from others can also be a kind of wonderful life.
He envied the self and freedom.
Thinking of this, Sheng Hong became increasingly depressed.
He wants to become a monk again...
