This is Li Shengyi's first year in this world.
Seeing the scene of every house on the street decorated with lights and colorful decorations, she sat on Meng Jiuan's shoulder and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's so cold."
Qin Songmo was walking beside her. Upon hearing this, he took off his cloak and was about to cover her with it.
Just as his fingers touched the knot, his little daughter turned her head and looked at him, "Daddy, we haven't gone to celebrate New Year's Day with grandma yet."
Meng Jiuan carried his little daughter on his shoulders, a smile on his face. "And Second Daddy's parents are here too. This year, Second Daddy won't be spending the New Year alone!"
In the past, during the Chinese New Year, all civil and military officials would get a few days off. At that time, Meng Jiuan would not stay in the capital, but would go to a small town dozens of miles away from the capital.
All the past events flashed before his eyes. He held his little daughter's ankles and thought about how he had gone back alone over the years and his parents were always unwilling to visit him in his dreams.
Now that he has brought his little daughter back, his loving parents should come and see their little granddaughter.
Li Shengyi felt the cold wind on the streets of the capital, and heard Meng Jiuan discussing with her father when to visit the elders of the Liao family.
She caught a glimpse of Shen Wangchen walking silently beside her, and blinked her eyes. She loosened the hand that was holding Meng Jiuan's forehead, and put her slightly cold little hand in front of him.
“Uncle Shen, do you want to come with us? Dad will resign after the New Year. Let’s go to the town to burn incense for grandparents first, and then go to Jiangnan, okay?”
Shen Wangchen lowered his eyes and glanced at the little hand stretched out in front of him. It was very small, and he knew how soft it would be to hold it. It was like throwing himself into a ball of cotton, which made him feel warm.
He raised his hand and held the little hand in front of him. He looked up at the little ball in front of him. Somehow, he suddenly felt relieved.
After all, he will always be by Qin Songmo's side, although there is a difference between calling him daddy and uncle.
But the lady never had any grudge against him, right?
A smile suddenly broke out on the baby's face. He squeezed her soft palm and asked her softly, "Miss, Wangchen has an unwelcome request."
Li Shengyi took in the smile on his face, and she also smiled brightly, saying, "As long as Uncle Shen doesn't borrow money, everything can be discussed."
Shen Wangchen has been with Qin Songmo for many years, and his shop occupies an entire street.
Although he was tortured by his mother in his childhood and wanted to die, he was born with a very smart brain.
Therefore, he is not short of money, at least not as short of money as Qin Songmo.
He shook his head with a smile on his face and said, "I won't lend you money."
“Well, Uncle Shen, do you want to do something kindly?”
Li Shengyi looked at him eagerly, his bright eyes seemed to have seen through his whereabouts and thoughts from the beginning.
As smart as Chen Wangchen was, he liked her icy intelligence even more, "Wangchen also wanted to, also wanted to call the young lady by her name."
In this way, there is no difference between him and Meng Jiuan.
The eloquent aide to the Prime Minister's Mansion who used to help Qin Songmo with his work, now stuttered because of a name.
He stared at the person in front of him without blinking, afraid to miss any expression on her face.
The moment he finished speaking, Li Shengyi nodded vigorously, "Of course, Uncle Shen is very good to Shengyi and is a good friend of Shengyi, so why can't he call Shengyi by his name?"
“Come on, Uncle Shen, call someone for Shengyi to hear.”
"Good intentions..."
[So cute, so cute, so cute! I really want to pinch his face. He suddenly becomes so well behaved. It's unbearable!]
[Ah, my inner voice has been heard again, so shy...]
The male voice with a lowered tone was particularly gentle, and coupled with Shen Wangchen's face, Li Shengyi felt that his heart was about to be melted by cuteness.
She pursed her lips and turned her head to let the cold wind blow on her face, blowing away the heat on her face caused by excitement.
The entire conversation between the adult and the child fell into the ears of Qin Songmo and Meng Jiuan.
Unable to bear the thought of disturbing the warm atmosphere between the two, Meng Jiuan stretched his neck and whispered to his friend, "Yuan Qing, you really didn't go to the brothel with good intentions?"
“From what I heard from her just now, why did it seem like she was teasing Shen Wangchen?”
Qin Songmo, who felt the same way, put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, then made an excuse for his little daughter, "Children's words are innocent."
"Oh, that's true, but what she said just now... never mind, just treat it as childish talk."
Meng Jiuan curled his lips. Seeing someone selling sugar paintings up ahead, he immediately handed his purse to his little daughter on his shoulder and said, "Shengyi, sit down. Let's go take a look at the sugar paintings."
Meng Jiuan was born with a pair of long legs, and he usually walks with a breeze.
At this moment he quickened his pace, and the trembling feeling of his body made Li Shengyi think that he was riding a horse.
She kept laughing and hugged the man's forehead tightly with both hands. At the end, she did not forget to turn around and look at Qin Songmo and the others behind her.
“Daddy, Uncle Shen, come quickly, it’s fun up ahead!”
The crisp child's voice reached their ears, and Qin Songmo and Shen Wangchen smiled at each other.
They both turned around at the same time and smiled at her.
“Here I come!”
"Here comes the kindness!"
-
On New Year's Day, all officials had a day off, but had to get up early the next day to attend court.
When Li Shengyi woke up, the entire prime minister's residence had returned to its former tranquility.
After Lu Xing helped her wash, dress, and comb her hair, she just walked out of the room and found that something seemed different in her yard.
"With the new emperor ascending the throne, the Prime Minister and General Meng will be busy for a while. General Meng was worried that the young lady would be lonely in the mansion, so he brought the kitten here."
Before dawn, Meng Jiuan came with the cat in his arms.
Lu Xing was awakened by the cat's meowing. When she opened her eyes and stood up, she saw Meng Jiuan standing in the yard, lecturing a few kittens.
"Please take good care of Sister Shengyi. If you scratch her, I'll pinch her!"
"And you can't let Qin Yuanqing find you. If he knows I brought you here secretly, he will definitely throw you out."
"Oh my, you're shy, aren't you? Don't worry, your sister Shengyi will wake up soon, so don't bother her then, understand?"
......
Lu Xing opened the door slightly. After listening to what Meng Jiuan said, the first thing she did was to put Tang Yuaner in the birdcage.
Cats love to catch birds the most. Last time, Tangyuan was lost in the villa, and the young lady was sad for a long time.
Fortunately, Tangyuan knew the way and flew back to the villa by himself. Only then did the young lady burst into laughter.
After finishing all this, and taking the food for the three cats from Meng Jiuan, Lu Xing returned to the room and lifted the bed curtain to see if her mistress had been woken up...
"My father doesn't know, right?"
Li Shengyi picked up a calico cat and began to pet it skillfully. The cat's soft fur made her squint her eyes.
