Chapter 166
There were not many people participating in this snowball fight that Jiaojiao had been looking forward to for a long time, only Yin Zheng, Qin Mianmian, Youyou and himself.
Jiaojiao and Youyou were divided into teammates, Qin Mianmian and Yin Zheng were divided into one team, and the two sides started a fierce war.
Of course, this was only fierce in Jiaojiao's eyes. In fact, both Yin Zheng and Qin Mianmian tried their best to restrain their strength, but Jiaojiao still fell down with one poke.
A snowball hit his shoulder head-on, and Jiaojiao, who was holding the snowball, sat down on the ground. He was a little slow to let out a cry, then he supported the ground with one hand, held the snowball with the other hand, stood up staggeringly, and threw the snowball in his hand away with force.
Qin Mianmian watched helplessly as the snowball flew to a place one foot away from him and fell to the ground. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that Jiaojiao was so weak.
A little worried that Jiaojiao wouldn't be able to hit anyone, which would ruin the snowball fight he had been longing for, Qin Mianmian walked forward a few steps, then looked up at Jiaojiao and was about to explain to him why she walked forward, but she saw Jiaojiao happily squatting on the ground making a snowball, not at all unhappy because others could hit her but she couldn't hit others.
In fact, it doesn’t matter to Jiaojiao whether the snowball hits anyone or not. As long as the snowball is thrown out, he will be very happy.
Jiaojiao likes snow because it is white and beautiful. In his long-forgotten memories, when he was little, he used to sit in a dark room and look through the narrow window to see the white snow all over the sky outside.
But at the same time, he was a little afraid of snow, because the beautiful white snow would be very cold. He just didn't know when he would no longer be so afraid.
Jiaojiao, who was squatting on the ground making a snowball, turned her head from time to time to check if her father was there. When she saw that her father was not far away, she lowered her head and made a snowball with peace of mind.
Yin Zheng would also make two snowballs and throw them at Jiaojiao, but even though he had controlled the strength, Jiaojiao would still be knocked to the ground. Fortunately, the snow was thick and it didn't hurt to fall on it.
Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the ground holding a snowball, smiled. After getting up, she stumbled and ran after her father with the snowball in her arms, and then successfully smashed the snowball on her father's legs.
Jiaojiao, who had hit her father, couldn't help but frown, then bent down and reached out to brush the snow off her father's trouser legs, saying as she did so, "It's gentle, it doesn't hurt."
Yin Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at him. The hand beside him moved. Finally, he couldn't suppress the eagerness in his heart. He pressed his fingers against Jiaojiao's forehead and pushed gently. Jiaojiao sat back on the ground.
Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the ground, blinked but was not angry. She got up and continued to happily chase Qin Mianmian while holding the snowball in her hand.
When Qin Mianmian ran away, she would pretend to be chased by him and make a snowball, then she would make a snowball from the ground and turn around to chase Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao screamed softly and turned to run. He was wearing thick clothes and was round like a little dumpling. He stumbled as he ran, and even the flesh on his face shook.
Yoyo, who was standing by, saw Jiaojiao being chased, so he ran up and started shoveling snow onto Qin Mianmian with his hooves raised. Qin Mianmian, who had eaten two mouthfuls of snow, made two "pooh" sounds, glanced at Yoyo, held up the snowball, and chased after him with an "Ao" sound.
Jiaojiao, not knowing that she had been spared, kept running with her head down until she saw Qin Mianmian chasing Youyou and running past her. Only then did she realize that she had been spared.
He stood there for a moment, then he raised his butt and made a snowball on the ground. He ran towards Yin Zheng with it in his hand, shouting, "Daddy Jiaojiao is here to beat you up!"
Yin Zheng didn't run. He squatted on the ground, made a snowball and threw it at Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao, who was already running unsteadily, tried to dodge it, but he tripped over himself and fell forward in the snow with a plop. The flying snow fell all over him, and he looked like a snowman growing out of the snow.
Yin Zheng went forward to pull Jiaojiao up, but Jiaojiao, who was lying in the snow, suddenly raised her head, threw the snowball in her hand at her father, and laughed out loud: "I hit Dad!"
Seeing the little pride on Jiaojiao's face, Yin Zheng's brows softened a little. He reached out and lifted the person out of the snow, shook her off, and shook off the snow.
Jiaojiao, who was held in the air, shook her arms and legs, and tried to look up at her father, like a little kitten being held by the scruff of the neck.
In the end, they built a big snowman together. Jiaojiao happily circled around the snowman for a few times, and then generously took off her own collar and put it on the snowman. While putting it on, she said seriously: "This is what Daddy made for Jiaojiao. I'm just lending it to you for a while. Remember to return it to Jiaojiao!"
In the capital, on the way back home from court after discussing government affairs, Xie Shuyu, who was riding a horse, holding an umbrella, wearing official uniform and a cloak with a black and blue cloud pattern of cranes, looked at the heavy snow and suddenly thought of Jiaojiao.
It's such a small and soft ball. If you hold it in your arms and use it to cover your hands on a snowy day, it might be very warm.
The snow fell on the umbrella, making a rustling sound. When passing by Qin's house, Xie Shuyu raised the umbrella and looked at the child who came out of Qin's house carrying a book box.
This kid... has been trying his best to get close to the Qin family. I heard that he looks a lot like the lost little legitimate son of the Qin family?
Although Xie Shuyu had never seen the young legitimate son of the Qin family, he thought that he must look very much like him, otherwise Lord Qin would not have made an exception and allowed such a child to enter the Qin Mansion's private school just because he valued his talent.
But I think Mrs. Zhou was very unhappy about this, otherwise the child wouldn't even have a servant to carry his book box.
Thinking about this, Xie Shuyu suddenly remembered something. Jiaojiao didn't seem to have a book box to store her books in?
Thinking about the fair and tender child whose temperament was as easy to handle as dough, Xie Shuyu suddenly thought of making a book box for him. It would be so cute for such a little kid to carry a book box on his back!
It just so happened that he had nothing to do these days, so he decided to make one anyway.
After making this decision, Xie Shuyu returned home and asked his servant to find the craftsman in the mansion to get the drawings of the bookcase.
Xie Shuyu has always been a quick learner. Although he had never made a bookcase before, he almost understood it after looking at the blueprint for a while. He immediately found the tools and started making it.
However, Xie Shuyu was a person who pursued perfection very much and was very picky about everything. As a result, it took him nearly ten days to make such a small bookcase, and he ruined countless of them along the way before he achieved a result that satisfied him.
Thinking of what Jiaojiao wrote in the letter about raising a white deer, Xie Shuyu picked up a pen and drew a picture of a deer calling on the bookcase.
After finishing the painting, I put it aside in a ventilated place, waiting for the ink to dry before finding time to send it to Jiaojiao.
Xie Jinyu, the young master of the Xie family, has been very unhappy recently. He lay on the table, frowned, threw away the jade horse in his hand, stood up and walked back and forth irritably, and finally fell on the soft couch beside him.
Xie Shuyu, his eldest brother, personally made book boxes for the other children!
Xie Jinyu was so angry when he thought of this. He was the eldest brother's biological younger brother. Not only did the eldest brother not treat him well, but he even treated a country kid who he had not been with for a long time. Not only did he write letters and send things to him, but he also made book boxes with his own hands.
Xie Jinyu slammed the couch in frustration.
Xie Shuyu made a bookcase by himself, and even his younger brother didn't have one!
He was very unhappy. After thinking about it, he got up from the bed and prepared to quietly go to Xie Shuyu's place to see what the bookcase looked like.
He didn't want that bookcase, he just wanted to see what kind of ugly thing Xie Shuyu had made. You know, his bookcase was specially made by Jinzhai Pavilion, isn't it better than the ugly bookcase made by Xie Shuyu?
And knowing that he made something ugly, you can use it to laugh at him.
The more Xie Jinyu thought about it, the more it seemed to be true, so he immediately took action.
At noon, Xie Shuyu came back from outside. As soon as he stepped into the mansion, he found Xie Jinyu hiding aside and watching him secretly. He raised his eyes and saw that he hid behind the stone screen in a flash. He knew in his heart that he was probably in trouble again.
Xie Shuyu withdrew his gaze and returned to the courtyard. He immediately discovered that the bookcase had been moved. Remembering Xie Jinyu's guilty look, he stepped forward, picked up the bookcase, and looked through it carefully. He discovered that the horns of the white deer on the bookcase had been slightly rubbed off, presumably because they had been bumped when it fell to the ground.
Xie Shuyu rubbed the place he touched, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. His younger brother was very strange in a way. He was obviously afraid of him but still wanted to provoke him. When he was taught a lesson, he cried so pitifully. But the next day, he woke up and forgot the pain and came to cause trouble again.
Xie Shuyu didn't understand what he was trying to do. Could it be that he just wanted to be punished?
Unable to figure it out, he threw the bookcase to the servant to destroy it, and at the same time got the materials to make a new bookcase.
After the servant brought the materials again, he gave the servant a copy of the Analects of Confucius and asked him to take it to Yu Ge'er, instructing him to copy it ten times and he would check it after three days.
In Lin Yuxuan, Xie Jinyu, who was holding the Analects, was so angry that he stomped his feet, but he still went to copy the Analects obediently.
Long experience taught him that if he dared to cheat and not copy, his brother would really punish him, and neither his father nor his mother would be able to stop him.
