Chapter 320: Familiarity at first sight
...
Frost and ice.
Suitable for: coffining, dismantling, breaking ground, burial.
Unsuitable for: gatherings, beam raising.
Wake up early in the morning.
No snow, but there is ice.
The water outside has frozen into ice cubes.
Jiang Changtian was not in a hurry to go to the yamen.
After reporting his work yesterday, the emperor did not assign him any new tasks.
When Prime Minister Lu was eliminated, a group of people were eliminated together, and another group of people came to power.
But it was not Jiang Changtian's turn yet. After all, he was a complete newcomer to the officialdom of the capital.
Everyone was in the process of handing over power, and they could not take care of Jiang Changtian for the time being. It was useless for him to stay in the yamen early in the morning. He
gave his kid a serious lecture last night.
He felt that he might have said something a bit harsh.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Changtian took a gourd, filled it with water and placed it outside.
When he got up in the morning, sure enough, the gourd was frozen.
He broke the outside of the gourd, revealing a complete ice gourd inside.
Jiang Changtian found that his daughter Mianmian particularly liked ice and snow.
It was as if she had never seen snow in her previous life.
So he thought of making an ice gourd to surprise Mianmian.
Sure enough, Mianmian got up to have breakfast, wearing a fluffy dress, with a handful of ice in her hands, broken off from the eaves and pulled from the grass on the roadside.
When she saw the ice gourd that her father took out, she was simply surprised.
Dad is so amazing.
There is a red ribbon tied to the ice gourd.
It looks good.
Although it is a very easy thing to make, it makes me happy.
After all, it is made by your biological father to coax you.
Mianmian feels that she is really good at reincarnation.
Cong'er also got up very early today.
Seeing Uncle Jiang showing off the ice gourd,
he silently asked Heita to bring out a huge simplified version of the star map.
In the past, he might have hidden it and waited for the sun to melt it quickly. He would have made it look the same as if he had not done it, and told himself that he just had to do it and do it well.
But after listening to Uncle Jiang's remarks yesterday,
Zi Congheng also reflected on himself.
Sometimes he seemed to fall into a strange mood of self-sacrifice, whether it was towards his father or Mianmian.
This is not good, and you have to tell the other party if you do it.
If he could have told his father more before, maybe when his father suddenly passed away, he would not have had so many regrets.
So he took out the star map that he had found the thickest ice block early in the morning and carved carefully without hesitation.
Mianmian was really attracted by the star map he carved.
The two of them squatted there and watched. He described in earnest what stars they were, and then watched the stars slowly melt in the sun.
In the end, it turned into a pool of water, but it had existed, it had been beautiful, and it had been made with care.
Jiang Changtian looked at his gourd, which had become smaller, and it was a bit hard to describe. It seemed that something was wrong with his brother...
He played with ice cubes with the girl, and watched the girl and the brother being taken away by Princess Huiyun.
Today, Qin Luoxia made an appointment to go to the Meng family to see her two grandchildren.
Jiang Changtian was also preparing to go to the government office.
If you report to the government office now, you can go directly to the palace. At this time, the emperor just got up to see people.
And today is the seventh day after the death of Old Lady Jiang.
Jiang Wan will come here today.
After Jiang Wan moved to the Seventh Prince's place, the guards were strict and it was not easy to approach.
...
Princess Huiyun is very happy. She
used to hate this little girl who was very annoying and mischievous. Now
she wishes she could keep her by her side every day, no matter how she tries to make up for it.
But it seems that her son doesn't like her a little bit.
He seems unwilling to let Mianmian follow her.
Although Princess Huiyun doesn't care about other people's thoughts most of the time,
she feels guilty and cautious about her children. She will think seriously about Changtian's look. She
didn't expect that he would agree to let her take Mianmian out to play today.
She promised to take good care of her and never take her to dangerous places.
...
Qin Luoxia made an appointment with her in-laws today to visit them and see her daughter-in-law and two grandchildren.
Jiang Changtian went to the palace.
The emperor watched a big drama yesterday and was tired at night, but he slept well.
When I got up in the morning, it was cold, so I practiced some kung fu to strengthen my body. I felt refreshed after taking some pills.
Today, the emperor asked Wenxin to visit Princess Caiyi.
It was mainly because it was the end of the year, and he wanted to show his favor.
After all, except for Meng Qingshe, all the men in the Meng family were fighting outside, so this face had to be given.
He suddenly remembered to summon all his sons into the palace.
And asked Jiang Erlang to come as well.
Although the emperor did not give Jiang Erlang extra favors, because he did not know how to give Jiang Erlang a proper name and make him the prince, Huiyun did not want him to have the surname Han, and was still arguing about a divorce, and he was unwilling to change his surname. If the matter of Jing Jue was revealed, it would damage the reputation of the royal family, so it was dragged on in this strange way.
But today, he suddenly had the idea to invite his sons to have a meal together, and to meet Jiang Erlang, so as to confirm Jiang Erlang's identity.
The emperor is now old, and he often has sudden ideas.
He is more troublesome than people in love when it comes to tormenting the princes. He suddenly wants a peacock in the middle of the night and asks his sons to catch it.
So the princes hurried to the palace.
The eldest prince confined himself to reflect on his mistakes and did not even have the chance to be tortured.
It was not his place. The fifth prince
was next, the son of Concubine Zhang, a Buddhist layman who often gave gifts and Buddhist scriptures to others, and gave hand-copied Buddhist scriptures to his brothers, the emperor, and elders as gifts. He was
very stingy. The sixth prince was both civil and military, handsome, and generous.
The seventh prince was ridiculed since he was a child, his mother was of unknown origin, and his presence was very low.
The ninth prince was a good friend of Meng Qingshe, and he thought about eating, drinking, and having fun all day long.
The tenth prince was weak, and when the emperor summoned him, he happened to catch a cold and did not come.
The seventeenth prince was in the palace, mentally handicapped, and did not attend.
So the fifth, sixth, seventh, and ninth princes came.
The fifth prince was dressed lightly, had a round face, and looked very amiable.
The Sixth Prince looked very noble, and his clothes were very noble.
The Seventh Prince was very low-key, wearing a light white robe, which was not new. The
Ninth Prince wore the latest clothes, with colorful cuffs, collars and hems.
The four princes have their own characteristics.
This was the first time Jiang Changtian had seen them since he came to the capital.
In fact, the princes were all very cautious and would not easily show up to interact with ministers.
The Ninth Prince was an exception, who often met various ministers in various entertainment venues.
The four princes were also very curious when they saw Jiang Erlang, the biological son of the legendary Aunt Huiyun.
Hearing about him is not as good as seeing him in person.
Sure enough, Jiang Erlang's appearance and demeanor were just as legendary, very handsome, and made people fall in love at first sight.
It is said that a new list of handsome men has been released in the capital recently.
The number one is actually the father of several children, Jiang Erlang.
In the latest beauty list, Princess Huiyun is still ranked first, Princess Caiyi is ranked second, and Fairy Liu is ranked third...
Princess Huiyun is a legend, Princess Caiyi is the center of gossip, and Fairy Liu is a witness to her beauty.
Several princes are making a fuss, not understanding why their father suddenly asked them to enter the palace.
The seventh prince is very nervous, after all, his father missed him at the last family dinner.
The fifth prince is indifferent, and he is rubbing a Buddhist bracelet in his hand, which is all covered with pulp and red.
The fifth prince's hands are also white, tender, and plump, which is very suitable for holding beads, very beautiful. The sixth prince
is still holding a paper fan in his hand in the middle of winter, which is very pretentious. This paper fan has an inscription from the emperor, and no one can say anything.
Among the princes, the Seventh Prince was the most quiet and timid, as always, he had no sense of existence.
The Ninth Prince was very lively and his voice was louder.
Jiang Erlang was the first of the princes to meet.
The Fifth Prince naturally gave a gift.
He gave his cousin a sutra.
"I copied it myself, cousin. You have suffered so much in these years. May the Buddha have mercy on you. Everything has cause and effect. You will be safe and sound in the future." The Fifth Prince said seriously.
Jiang Changtian accepted the Buddhist scriptures with great gratitude, and shook his fifth cousin's hand vigorously, saying emotionally: "Fifth brother, I like Buddhist scriptures the most. You are so thoughtful. When I was in Jingzhou, the abbot of Guizhen Temple in Jingzhou always wanted to accept me as a lay disciple, saying that I have a connection with Buddha. I didn't know what it meant before, but now that I have met fifth brother, we hit it off immediately. So that's it." The
fifth prince's face twitched slightly... I don't know why, but I felt that I had met someone thicker-skinned than myself. Suddenly, I felt like I had met a worthy opponent, and I couldn't even compare to him.
