Chapter 490 The routine is a bit deep
After Duke Jingguo left the palace, Xiao Jin returned to Fengluan Palace.
"How is Lord Jingguo's health?"
"He is an old man after all. He had one of his kidneys removed before, which hurt his foundation. Add to that the overwork during this period, and his condition is indeed not very good. But he can still recover. Let him rest first." Su Ying said truthfully.
Xiao Jin nodded. If there was no more suitable person in the court to restrain those civil servants, he would not have let Duke Jingguo work so hard.
As they were talking, the two little ones woke up. When they opened their eyes, they didn't see Su Ying and ran out from the inner hall in panic.
"Mother, mother..."
"I want my mother!"
When Su Ying and Xiao Jin heard the noise and walked to the inner hall, they saw two children standing there barefoot with panicked looks.
Seeing Su Ying coming in, both of them rushed over and hugged her waist tightly.
"Mother, Ji'er thought you left again."
"Mother, hug Ling'er."
Su Ying couldn't bear to see them like this, so she squatted down and picked them up, "Be good, don't cry, mother is here. Mother just went to see Duke Jingguo and just came back with your father."
He felt relieved only when he saw Su Ying and the two little ones. He was afraid that Su Ying would be gone when he woke up.
Su Ying carried them into the inner hall and took clothes for them to put on.
The two little guys cooperated and enjoyed Su Ying's service, their big eyes glued to her and reluctant to move away.
"Mother, you said you would take us fishing."
"Well, I'll be there in a minute."
"Is Dad going too?"
Xiao Jin adjusted Dabao's belt and said, "Go, Daddy will go with you."
Dabao looked at Xiao Jin and smiled happily. Dabao had been working too hard during this period, and he didn't work like a child. Xiao Jin didn't want him to have too much pressure, so he should relax appropriately when it was time to relax.
After tidying up, Su Ying and Bai Shuang prepared the fishing tools, and the family of four headed towards the Imperial Garden.
There is an artificial lake in the Imperial Garden, with many fish raised in the lake. However, these fish were previously used for viewing and no one has ever fished them.
Su Ying doesn't like fishing, she finds it boring. In the past, when she wanted to catch fish, she would throw a torpedo into the water, and once it exploded, the fish would turn over. However, the fish in the apocalypse are contaminated by chemicals and are basically inedible.
Xiao Jin hung the bait on the fishhook and then swung the fishing rod out.
Dabao imitated Xiao Jin and sat on the shore waiting for the bait to be caught, while Su Ying and Erbao sat on the cushions, eating snacks boredly.
"Mother, Ling'er has already learned Qinggong." Erbao swallowed the snack in his mouth and reported his learning results to Su Ying with some pride, "Ling'er has also learned a lot of big characters, just a little less than her brother."
Su Ying was cracking melon seeds when she heard this with a look of surprise on her face, "You know Qinggong?"
Erbao nodded proudly, "If you don't believe me, I'll show you how to do it." As she said that, Erbao threw the snack in her hand away. Then Su Ying saw her stand up. After fiddling with her little body for a few times, she stepped on a small tree next to her and leaped into the air. She grabbed the snack that flew into the sky in her hand.
Afterwards, she returned to Su Ying lightly and spread out her hands as if offering a treasure, "Look, mother."
Su Ying was really surprised when she saw the intact snack. She had only been away from Gongfu for a few months and Erbao had already learned the Qinggong skill.
Although it is still at the entry level, it is already a great progress for a child. "Great!" Su Yinghaohong generously gave the child a thumbs up.
When Dabao saw Erbao being praised, he also felt a little eager, but he still tried hard to suppress his competitive spirit.
"Ji'er, the fish is hooked."
When Dabao came back to his senses, he felt a force in the water pulling at the fishing rod in his hand. He clenched the rod tightly with surprise and slowly reeled in the line in his hand. Even though his heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his throat, his hands were still very steady and calm, not like a child under six years old at all.
Su Ying and Erbao also walked over curiously. They didn't have the patience to fish, but they liked watching the moment when the fish were caught.
The fish that Dabao caught looked quite big. As he pulled it slowly, the fish gradually emerged from the water.
Xiao Jin was already waiting by the side with a fishing net. When Dabao was about to pull the fish to the shore, he took out the fishing net and scooped up the fish.
"Wow, brother is amazing, what a big fish!"
The second child shouted in surprise, and the first child also showed a rare childlike smile on his face.
"This fish must be several kilograms, and its head is so big. I'll let Uncle He use it to make chopped pepper fish head tonight."
"Mother, can you please not eat it? Ling'er wants to keep it."
Children have no resistance to these small animals.
Su Ying didn't have to eat it, but it would be a pity not to eat such a big head.
"Daddy's fishing hook is moving too."
After hearing what Dabao said, they all turned to look at Xiao Jin's fishing rod.
Sure enough, I saw the fishing line rising and falling in the water.
Xiao Jin walked forward, picked up the fishing rod, and slowly pulled the fish on the hook over.
"The fish Daddy caught is even bigger than my brother's. It's so big."
Su Ying didn’t know what kind of fish the previous emperor had raised in this lake. Why did the head look so big?
"Let Ling'er raise that one, and I'll make this one for you in the evening." Xiao Jin pointed at the fish and looked at Su Ying lovingly.
Zhang Shuming stretched his neck to take a look, and cried out in pain. This fish was bought by the late emperor at a huge expense. I heard it cost more than a thousand taels of silver. If the queen knew about it, she would probably not be willing to eat it.
"Okay, let's eat it." Su Ying felt that all fish were the same, and she certainly wouldn't consider it as being valuable.
Xiao Jin directly asked the eunuch to take the fish to the imperial kitchen.
"Mom, Ji'er can write poems now." When Erbao and Xiao Jin went fishing, Dabao ran to Su Ying and whispered, looking at her with anticipation.
What’s the use of being able to write poetry?
Su Ying quickly closed her mouth and didn't let the words come out. Ahem, she really didn't have a strong understanding of the poetry and songs of this generation. It was of no use to her.
"What poem did you write? Can you read it to me?"
Dabao blinked, "Do you understand, mother?"
Su Ying: “…”
"I understand. Go ahead."
"Forget it, Daddy said that instead of reading poems and articles to Auntie, it would be better to leave two delicious snacks for Auntie."
Su Ying glared at Xiao Jin secretly and said, "Thank you so much!"
"Then...what snacks did Ji'er leave for Auntie?"
Dabao lowered his eyes, "Mother really doesn't want to listen to Ji'er reading poetry."
How come this little guy is so cunning?
"Not really. You read it."
Dabao shook his head gently, his face depressed, "Ji'er forgot, wait till tonight, when A Niang accompanies Ji'er to sleep, Ji'er will read it to A Niang, okay?"
Su Ying agreed without thinking, "Okay."
Dabao raised his little face and said in surprise, "Really? Mother is going to sleep with Ji'er tonight."
"kindness."
As soon as Su Ying nodded, she felt a strong gaze falling on the back of her head.
