Looking at the three children sleeping in a messy posture and snoring on the big kang, Zhang Shou found it funny, but he did not wake them up to ask them what was going on. Instead, he pulled the quilt over them. Seeing that the Fourth Prince was still not well resting in his sleep, he put one hand directly on Little Peanut's chest. As a result, Little Peanut moved around as if he was very uncomfortable, and Zhang Shou could not help but shook his head.
When he found that there was no trace of blood on Xiao Cheng's face, he thought about what Ah Liu had just told him and realized that he must have taken a shower. He wondered if his appearance when he came in had frightened his family. He turned his head to look at Ah Liu and asked in confusion, "Don't you have a guest room at home? So the three of them need to sleep together?"
Zhang Garden is such a big place, there's no need to be so frugal, right
Seeing that Zhang Shou really hadn't remembered, Ah Liu sighed helplessly, "I used all of it to set the table."
This time, Zhang Shou finally did not ask such low-level questions as why the table was placed in the guest room, because he finally remembered what excuse he had used when he refused the Fourth Prince to live in his house and instead left him in a public school outside the city to keep Xiao Cheng company.
Although Zhang Garden was large, it was said that he invited many guests on the day of his wedding. In addition, the cold weather was not suitable for setting up a wedding tent, so after counting the guest rooms, Wu began to arrange and tidy up all the guest rooms in advance, and had already set up tables and chairs.
This has the advantage that no guests will get cold, but the disadvantage is that many empty guest rooms are now uninhabitable. Fortunately, previous guests are not affected, but new guests will undoubtedly have nowhere to stay - this room is the one Peanut used to live in.
As for why it is a kang instead of a bed, it is because when Xiaohuasheng was in Cangzhou, he preferred a heated kang, so the east wing of the courtyard where Zhang Shou's study was located happened to have a kang, so it was left to the Cangzhou boy.
In order to cover up the embarrassment of forgetting about the wedding banquet, Zhang Shou changed the subject and said, "Xiao Huasheng hasn't been home for a long time. Is the kang too cold? I don't feel warm even when I'm standing next to it?"
"It was heated this afternoon, so of course it's not too hot." Ah Liu did not say that before he was ordered to accompany them out, he sent a message back to ask someone to heat the kang - although he did not have the ability to predict the future, he instinctively felt that it was very likely that they would move from the outer city to the inner city, and he might have to come back to live then.
He paused, then explained: "After they came back, they all drank ginger soup and took a hot bath in the bathtub to drive away the cold. If the kang is heated too hot, they will definitely not be able to sleep."
Thinking that the three little guys must have been exposed to a lot of cold wind tonight, and they were still kicking the quilt, Zhang Shou couldn't help but say unhappily, "Children of this age love to kick the quilt the most. When they catch a cold and get sick, they are afraid of the bitter medicine and acupuncture, and they complain all the time. In my opinion, it would be better to sew the quilt into a bag shape, stuff them whole body into it, and then lock them in there."
"From now on, we won't have to worry about them catching a cold anymore!"
Zhang Shou casually brought up the concept of sleeping bags, but Ah Liu did not take it as a joke. After thinking about it carefully, he made up his mind and went back to tell Mrs. Wu about this matter. If his young master and the eldest lady had children in the future, he would follow this procedure.
