Xiao Liulang stiffened.
How long has it been since he heard this voice? It's like a lifetime to hear again.
He fell to the ground and turned his back to Princess Xinyang. Even so, he also felt the other party's gaze falling on him.
He didn't dare to look back, and he didn't dare to turn his back. He tried his best to restrain the trembling of his body and said calmly, "I'm fine."
"You..." Princess Xinyang heard him say nothing, but out of the corner of the eye caught a glimpse of the crutch that fell out.
It doesn't seem like a crutch, it's more like a cane, suitable for people with inconvenient legs but not completely unable to touch the ground.
Princess Xinyang was not sure whether the other party was born with bad behavior or just recently injured, no matter what kind of situation, there seems to be nothing wrong.
She said, "It seems that I tripped you up just now, can you still get up? I'll ask a doctor for you. Come, help this adult up first."
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl who had been supporting her stepped forward and reached out to help Xiao Liulang.
Xiao Liulang hurriedly raised his sleeves to stop: "Don't come here!"
The little maid was startled, and looked back at Princess Xinyang in confusion.
Xiao Liulang calmed down and said, "I'm not used to others touching me."
At the age of fourteen, he had not changed his voice, and was a youthful and childish voice. Now that the voice change period has passed, he has changed to a voice that is between a teenager and an adult man, which is low and clean.
Princess Xinyang didn't hear anything wrong with her voice for a while, but she clearly felt the other party's escape and resistance.
Thinking of the incompatibility between men and women, he was wearing a Hanlin official uniform, and this was near the Hanlin Academy, so he should be careful so as not to damage his reputation.
Princess Xinyang didn't embarrass him anymore: "If you have something to do, go to Princess Xinyang's mansion and tell me."
Although she does not live in the Princess Mansion, but her servants are in the Princess Mansion and can still inform her.
Xiao Liulang tried hard to control himself not to look back: "No, I'm fine."
Princess Xinyang always felt that this person was strange, and her heart was also strange. She couldn't explain the unclear emotions: "Where are you going, I can ask the escort to escort you."
"No need." Xiao Liulang refused, "I can go by myself."
After he finished speaking, he stood up with his hands on the ground, limped to the door under the gaze of Princess Xinyang, and bent over to pick up the cane that Gu Jiao made for him.
There has never been a moment like this time, he knew she was watching from behind, but he didn't want her to see him like this.
His hand holding the cane trembled slightly, he didn't look back, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Princess Xinyang looked at his leaving figure with a thoughtful expression.
"Princess!"
Yu Jin walked in panting.
Princess Xinyang returned consciousness, glanced at her, and said, "How can you buy yourself like this when you go to buy a cake?"
"I..." Yu Jin opened her mouth, hesitant to tell her what she had just seen.
Princess Xinyang said, "Just say whatever you want, when did you become a mother-in-law?"
Yu Jin looked at her, gathered up her courage and said, "Princess, I just... I seem to have seen the little prince."
Princess Xinyang's expression changed slightly, but in just a moment she regained her usual calmness: "Yu Jin, how many times do I have to tell you that he is dead."
Xiao Liulang fled back to the Hanlin Academy in one breath.
Ning Zhiyuan had just come out of the Hanlin Academy, and when he saw that he seemed a little lost, he pulled him aside and asked in a puzzled way, "Liulang, what's wrong with you? Didn't you go to the Gongyuan to give a lecture? Did someone bully you? I knew it! All the people who made up the exams in the Gongyuan are from Yin Guan Yin, who is a thorn in the water! In this way, I will go for you next time!"
"I'm fine, the Gongyuan side is fine." He couldn't even hold down the super thorny head of the prince, not to mention those small thorn heads.
"But I think you look like you have something on your mind." Ning Zhiyuan didn't believe that Xiao Liulang was fine. He had known Xiao Liulang for so long, and he still understood Xiao Liulang's temperament. So embarrassed.
A flash of light flashed in Ning Zhiyuan's mind: "Are you... worried about what happened in the morning? I broke the inkstone, or I offended Princess Xinyang, right? You, don't be sad, I'll explain to her! Bad, it's because of me—"
Xiao Liulang said: "I'm really fine."
Ning Zhiyuan looked at him suspiciously: "But you look so bad."
Xiao Liulang said casually: "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
Ning Zhiyuan asked suspiciously, "Is that so?"
Xiao Liulang nodded: "Yes."
"Then..." Ning Zhiyuan looked towards the end of the alley, "Brother and sister didn't come to pick you up today, I'll find a carriage to take you back."
"No need." Xiao Liulang rejected his good intentions.
Xiao Liulang looked easy to talk in front of his friends, but once he became stubborn, no one could persuade him, Ning Zhiyuan couldn't, and had to let him go.
Xiao Liulang walked aimlessly on the street with a cane. When he left the ready-to-wear shop, he almost fled without looking back to see what she looked like...
But her voice was deeply imprinted in his mind, circling and lingering.
I don't know when it rained heavily in the sky, and pedestrians avoided one after another. Only Xiao Liulang was unaware and walked slowly in the heavy rain.
He didn't come back to his senses until a childish little voice sounded beside him.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing, why don't you use an umbrella?"
It's a small headroom.
Xiao Jingkong held up a small yellow umbrella that Gu Jiao made for him, and looked up at Xiao Liulang who was inexplicably drenched in soup.
Only then did Xiao Liulang realize that he had unknowingly arrived at the entrance of Guozijian.
"Are you coming to pick me up today?" Xiao Jingkong asked while holding a small yellow umbrella.
In fact, it was not the time to dismiss school at this moment, Xiao Jingkong completed the homework ahead of schedule, and made an exception to leave school first.
"Hmm." Xiao Liulang hummed lightly and said to the little guy, "Let's go."
Xiao Jingkong didn't move: "You didn't even use an umbrella!"
"I don't have an umbrella." After he finished speaking, he paused and said, "I don't need it."
"Here you are." Xiao Qingkong handed him the umbrella.
"You fight yourself." How could Xiao Liulang want a child's umbrella? What does he want him to do? This umbrella is so small that it will definitely not be able to hit two people.
Xiao Jingkong said, "I have a raincoat."
The raincoat that Jiaojiao made for him!
There are also big red flowers that he painted by himself!
Xiao Jingkong handed the umbrella to Xiao Liulang, but Xiao Liulang still gave it to him. He took out his little yellow raincoat from his schoolbag and put it on numbly. Then he took off his shoes and grabbed them in his hands. He stepped on the water with his bare feet on the ground.
Xiao Liulang: "..."
You just want to tread water...
Xiao Jingkong stepped on the water all the way, jumping wherever there is a pit, anyway, Jiaojiao is not there, he doesn't have to worry about his tough guy image at all!
He stepped on it with great joy, like a little jumping frog falling into a pond.
It turns out that going home with a bad brother-in-law can be so much fun!
When he arrived at the door of the house, he said very generously: "Okay, I will allow you to pick me up on rainy days in the future!"
Xiao Liulang: Hehe, it's like someone is coming to pick you up.
Next door Liu Quan was about to pick up Xiaojingkong, when he saw the two at the door slightly startled: "Eh? Are you back?"
"Hello Uncle Liu!" Xiao Jingkong greeted politely.
The little guy was wearing a small raincoat and a small hat made by Gu Jiao for him.
He likes golden things, but there is no gold in the dyes that Gu Jiao can get, so he takes the next step and makes yellow.
The little raincoat itself is very beautiful, but after he drew so many ugly big red flowers, it became a bit difficult to describe, and it was all supported by the beauty of this face.
Too ugly and cute.
On the other hand, Xiao Liulang, a Hanlin official, was wearing a naive little yellow umbrella and looked a little funny.
Liu Quan said with a smile: "It's good to be back, then I'll go pick up the master."
"Goodbye Uncle Liu!" Xiao Jingkong waved politely at him.
Liu Quan said to Xiao Liulang again: "Liulang, hurry up and change your clothes, you are all wet."
Xiao Liulang responded.
One big and one small entered the yard.
No one in the family was here, Gu Jiao didn't come back, and Yao was invited to her house by Aunt Zhou. Although they were all in Bishui Hutong not far away, it suddenly rained so hard that she was worried that Yao would fall. Grandma told Yao Shi to wait for the rain to stop before leaving.
Yuya'er and Fang Momo are also there.
As for Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun, needless to say, they all went to study art.
Xiao Jingkong was not enough to tread water alone, so he ran to the backyard again, and released Xiao Ba, Xiao Jiu and seven chicks to tread water.
The nine mythical beasts in the family say they don't want to tread water!
Xiao Liulang went back to the Westinghouse and changed into dry clothes, and then went to the study to take out the math book of Yan Kingdom, and continued to study and calculate the ancestral rate.
Xiao Jingkong stepped on the water for a while, sauntered into the study, came to his desk, held his belly, and said awkwardly, "I'm hungry."
Xiao Liulang glanced at him: "Are you sure you want to eat what I made?"
Xiao Jingkong choked and stammered, "Well, that's still not enough."
The bad brother-in-law made it too bad, he could be hungry for a while longer.
Xiao Jingkong's stomach growled, and he didn't feel full after eating candied fruit and snacks. After all, he was a child with a large appetite, otherwise he would not have competed with other little monks for food.
Xiao Liulang still went to the stove and cooked him a bowl of vegetable and egg noodles.
Looking at the dark noodles on the table that night, Xiao Jingkong refused in his heart.
Xiao Liulang handed him the chopsticks: "Eat it."
Xiao Jingkong sat on his special chair with a small horizontal version in front of him, he did not immediately take the chopsticks, but looked at Xiao Liulang very seriously: "I just wanted to ask you, can you eat this bowl of noodles yourself? ?"
Xiao Liulang said indifferently: "It's not me who is so hungry right now."
Xiao Jingkong lowered his head, what the bad brother-in-law said made sense, but he was speechless to refute.
In the end, hunger prevailed.
"Alas." Xiao Jingkong sighed, stretched out his little hand to take the chopsticks, and ate it resignedly.
It's not far from the meal time now, but Xiao Liulang is not hungry, but he didn't let Xiao Jingkong sit alone in the main room to eat.
He directly moved the small headroom with the chair to the study, he ate his, he counted his.
Xiao Jingkong was halfway through eating, and suddenly looked at Xiao Liulang with bitterness and hatred: "Can I ask you a question?"
"Speak." Xiao Liulang didn't look up and continued to do the arithmetic problem in his hand.
Xiao Jingkong asked curiously: "How do you make every meal more nasty than the last?"
Xiao Liulang glanced at him, and said shamelessly: "Work hard and cook well."
Small Clearance: "… "
Xiao Jingkong asked himself that he couldn't learn this skill, because when he was three years old, the baked sweet potatoes were already better than those made by the bad brother-in-law.
Xiaojingkong has developed a good habit of not wasting food in the temple. No matter how unpleasant it is, as long as he eats it, he will eat it all by himself.
"Are you full?" Xiao Liulang asked, looking at the dark empty bowl in front of him.
Xiao Jingkong pursed his lips and looked solemn: "You do it so badly, do you still expect others to eat a second bowl... Well, congratulations, your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled."
Woo, he can't do anything if he's not full!
Xiao Liulang knew that the little monk's stomach was not so easy to fill, and he steamed vegetarian jerky, corn cobs and sweet potatoes in the pot, and it was almost cooked by now.
He took away the empty bowl in front of Xiao Qingkong, and went to the stove to bring over the steamed vegetarian jerky, corn and sweet potatoes in the pot.
Xiao Jingkong folded his arms and turned his face: "I don't want this plate."
He has beautiful cutlery!
Xiao Liulang said indifferently: "You still dislike it? If you like it or not, I won't get used to you."
Xiaojingkong picked up the chopsticks reluctantly, and said with a small mouth: "A child without Jiaojiao is a grass!"
Xiao Liulang: "..."
Raising a child is very exhausting. Xiao Liulang felt tired after a while, but this kind of tiredness didn’t seem to be the same as usual, and he felt a little dizzy.
After dinner, Xiao Jingkong went to the backyard to wash the dishes by himself. The cupboard was too high for him to reach, so he had to stand on tiptoe and put the clean tableware on the stove one by one.
He also took a damp rag, intending to wipe his little table.
But as soon as he entered the study, he felt something was wrong.
Huh
The bad brother-in-law fell asleep on the table
It's not dark yet!
Xiao Jingkong walked over, tilted his head and called Xiao Liulang: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"
no response.
Xiao Jingkong thought for a while: "Ah Heng~"
Still no response.
Xiao Jingkong let out a weird whimper, took out a small hand that had just grabbed the wet rag and touched Xiao Liulang's forehead: "Yeah! It's so hot!"
Xiao Liulang fell ill, and there was no warning.
He began to have a dream over and over again, in which he returned to the Princess Mansion.
Today Zhuang Xianzhi came to teach Wen Linlang, originally at Wen's house, but Wen's house was too far away, so he changed it to the Princess' Mansion.
Wen Linlang is his fiancee, and he accompanies her in class.
After Zhuang Xianzhi finished speaking, he took a break.
Wen Linlang complained, "A-Heng, Mr. Zhuang's class is too difficult, shall we go out and play?"
When he went out to see his mother, he nodded.
The two went to the back mountain.
Wen Linlang found a rabbit: "A-Heng, this little rabbit is injured, shall we take it home?"
His mother's rabbit died not long ago, and his mother was sad about it for a long time.
"A-Heng, I want to eat jujubes, can you go and pick them from the tree for me?"
His mother also likes to eat dates, so he climbed up to pick them.
"A-Heng, can you go buy me a sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"
His mother also liked sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, so he got in the carriage and bought them.
When he was holding the rabbit, carrying a bag of dates, and carrying a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, he excitedly went to Princess Xinyang, but what he saw was an indifferent and world-weary face.
"A-Heng." She waved at him and smiled.
He walked over slowly: "Mother, are you not feeling well?"
She looked at him meaningfully: "A-Heng, do you like mother?"
"like."
"Are you willing to do anything for your mother?"
"Yes!" he said firmly.
"Then you will die for your mother... A-Heng, will you die for me?"
