After returning from the New Year's Eve palace banquet, many friends, relatives, and officials came to visit Prince Ningxuan's mansion.
The snow in the capital city had not melted yet, and heavy snow still fell every few days. Rong Tang, led by Rong Mingyu or Wang Xiuyu, repeatedly dealt with those people who tried to probe him in the name of New Year's greetings in the front hall, watching the snow fall on the steps in front of the door.
Su Huaijing was afraid that he would be bored, so he insisted on following him. Rong Tang agreed in the first few days, but after four or five meetings a day, Rong Tang felt annoyed. He didn't want to be a villain and spend time with him every day to deal with family matters, so he refused to let him go out with him no matter what.
Su Huaijing had just agreed when Rong Tang was listening to some relatives chatting until they were about to fall asleep. He lifted the curtain of the living room and asked Wang Xiuyu in a serious and gentle manner: "Mother, Tang Tang said yesterday that he was prone to laziness recently. Doctor Lin has returned to his own home. Can I take him out of the house to see the doctor and get some medicine?"
Wang Xiuyu was shocked when she heard this, and she stood up quickly, saying, "What's wrong with Tang'er? Go with Huaijing quickly."
Then he turned to Shuangfu, his face unconsciously showing a bit of sternness: "Young Master was not feeling well, and you didn't even inform me?"
There were guests in the house, so it was difficult to say much. But as soon as they reached the door, the people inside could no longer hear their conversation, so Rong Tang immediately explained, "Mom, I'm not feeling unwell, don't blame Shuangfu and the others."
Wang Xiuyu didn't believe it, her eyes turned to Su Huaijing's face, the latter smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Tangtang hasn't gone out to play during the Spring Festival for many years. The Liyuan Teahouse in the city opened yesterday, and several venues are now more lively. I want to take him out for a walk. If mother wants to blame me, just say that I am ignorant."
The princess was stunned. She looked at the two children in a daze and was speechless for a moment.
She grew up in a rich family with many rules and regulations, and later married into a royal family with even stricter rules and regulations. She knew how to be a mistress and had seen countless couples, but now that she thought about it carefully, she found that she had never seen such a young couple.
Su Huaijing stood under the eaves with the snowy courtyard behind him. Rong Tang stood in front of him. After hearing his words, he looked excited, but he couldn't help looking at his mother with a little worry in his heart.
There was a sound of teacups colliding in the room. Wang Xiuyu came back to her senses and nodded with a smile: "Go ahead. These social events at the mansion shouldn't bother you."
He is the prince of Ningxuan King, but in Wang Xiuyu's eyes, he is just a child who has never grown up. He has never had a good time when he was young. Now it is too cruel to tie him up at the wine and tea table.
Wang Xiuyu was about to go back to the house, but when she turned around and saw Shuangfu, she paused for a moment and said, "It's New Year's Day, let's go to the storehouse and get some money to make two new sets of clothes for you and your brother."
After saying this, she put on an impeccable smile and stepped into the inevitable social events that the title of 'Princess Ning Xuan' brought her, leaving Shuangfu standing there in confusion, staring at Shuangshou behind Su Huaijing.
Rong Tang was also a little confused, but after he reacted, he couldn't help laughing.
Wang Xiuyu's life and upbringing destined her to not develop the habit of apologizing to servants for her own mistakes, but even so, after realizing that she had taken it for granted and wrongly blamed Shuangfu, she chose to give him some financial compensation to make up for the mistake she made in a moment of quick words.
Even in modern times, he would be a pretty good boss.
But Shuangfu was so confused that he asked Rong Tang, "Master, what does the princess mean by this?"
Rong Tang: "Mother is too embarrassed to apologize to you, but she feels that she did something wrong, so she is giving you compensation. Just accept it with peace of mind."
Shuangfu: "Why do you want to apologize? Princess, that's, that's..." He paused, frowned, and thought for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable word. In the end, Su Huaijing couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him: "Worrying makes you confused?"
Shuangfu slapped his head and said, "Yes! The princess spoke like that because she cares about the young master. There is nothing wrong with that!"
Rong Tang: “…”
He hesitated for a long time, stood there, stared at Shuangfu silently, and then opened his mouth.
Su Huaijing opened his umbrella and stood under the eaves, waiting for him while listening to him nagging Shuangfu, "Don't be so sincere, think more about yourself", "I am your young master, not your father", "Once I sell my body to you, I will not even be your young master anymore"...
As a result, Shuangfu's little head only heard the last sentence, and his face was full of disbelief and horror: "Master, you don't want me anymore? What did I do wrong?"
Rong Tang: “…” Well, it’s useless to say that.
He sighed heavily: "After going to the warehouse, go to my private storehouse and get some silver to buy some walnuts to nourish your brain."
Young Master Rong felt tired and didn't want to look at this stupid head, so he turned around and crawled under Su Huaijing's umbrella and walked out into the snow. Shuangfu was confused for a while behind him, and finally chose to follow Shuangshou from a distance behind them.
Rong Tang had just choked to death, but he couldn't help but feel excited at this moment. He whispered to Su Huaijing, "Mom and Shuangfu are both fine."
Su Huaijing added: "Double longevity is also good."
"Yes." Rong Tang added, "You are all doing well."
What did he do? He wasted two lifetimes helping Sheng Chengli, when there were so many lovely people in the mansion.
Su Huaijing smiled and said, "Tangtang is really good."
Rong Tang understood the hidden meaning in his words and was not embarrassed at all, but he clearly showed a perfunctory attitude that was obvious at a glance, but not annoying: "Yes, yes, I'm great!"
Su Huaijing: “…”
He wasn't sure whether Tangtang was too happy or if the Chinese New Year would turn people into children. Su Huaijing was rarely stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled.
Rong Tang ignored the good path and had to step outside the umbrella to step on the snow from time to time. Su Huaijing had no choice but to hold his arm and deliberately asked in a deep voice: "Tangtang, do you want to buy some walnuts too?"
Rong Tang replied indifferently: "Walnuts can't nourish the brain."
He simply wanted to give Shuangfu some more New Year's red envelopes.
Su Huaijing was choked for the second time by his self-righteous attitude, but he had no choice but to let him go in the end. Only when Rong Tang was eager to jump into the calf-high snow, he reached out and pulled him to his side to keep quiet for a while.
Most businesses close during the first month of the lunar year, but there are some that specialize in doing business during this period. Once the snow stops, they all set up their stalls, so the long street is still bustling.
As the years passed, Zhang, the candy man at the street corner, kept drawing the year's zodiac sign, and vivid little rabbits appeared in the hands of the waiting children.
Rong Tang's eyes lit up, and without saying a word he bought one for Su Huaijing.
Su Huaijing: “?”
Rong Tang: "Don't you like sweet food? And this rabbit is a good match for you."
Su Huaijing stared in deep thought, staring at the maltose rabbit on the stick that looked so stupid.
Where is it? Is it suitable for me to put a skull
But Rong Tang's eyes were already attracted by the goose on the other side. He trotted forward two steps and came back to his senses. He turned around and grabbed Huai Jing's arm: "Huai Jing, I want to lasso the goose!"
He himself might not have realized the unconscious coquettish tone in these words.
Rather than saying that he wanted to catch the goose himself, it was more like he was saying, "Huai Jing, help me catch the goose!"
Well, they are indeed a match.
He originally thought that he had set a trap and was waiting for Rong Tang to fall into it.
But wasn't he just like this stupid rabbit, jumping into Tangtang's big net without hesitation
Su Huaijing held Rong Tang's hand with his backhand. There were crowds of people around him. He leaned close to Rong Tang's ear and asked in a voice that was as high as he had ever used in his life, "How many do you want to wear?"
Rong Tang: “Four!”
Su Huaijing was stunned, not understanding what he wanted so many geese for.
Rong Tang counted them: "Eat one, raise two, and give one to my brother!"
It is the first sunny day after the snow and the sun is shining brightly. The tiredness of last year and the hard work of this spring have not yet begun, which will make people feel lazy and sleepy in an appropriate way.
Su Huaijing had been tense for nearly ten years, but now he felt that there was nothing wrong in occasionally taking a break and figuring out with Tangtang how to increase the hit rate of catching the big goose at the end of the street.
He smiled and said, "Okay, give them to my brother, one for my brother and one for my brother Tangtang."
Rong Tang was startled, and when he realized what was happening, his ears turned red: "You are already eighteen years old!"
Su Huaijing pretended to be sad and said, "Ah, I'm already eighteen years old, and my husband still wants to sleep in a separate bed from me. I'm so sad."
Rong Tang: “…”
The system's ruthless comment: [His acting skills are terrible! ]
Rong Tang nodded silently: "Indeed!"
He said he was sad but his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles. How could he look like the villain who could win the Best Actor award when we first met him
Rong Tang secretly shook his head and began to reflect on what kind of person he had raised Su Huaijing to be.
System: [I have developed a love-brain.]
It paused for a moment and added: [You are almost there too. ]
Rong Tang: “…” So annoying!
It’s annoying when one person rules everything!
Not as cute as a goose!
Rong Tang ignored them and enthusiastically went to the stall owner to buy fifty hoops, and put on his lunch like a fairy scattering flowers. He put on ten hoops in a row but failed to put on a single one. The big geese also clucked at him.
Rong Tang: “…”
It’s over, the big goose is not cute either, I’m going to be hungry today!
Su Huaijing came over and took the ring from his hand: "Tangtang, sleep with me tonight, and I will help you put on four of them and take them back."
Rong Tang looked at him suspiciously: "Can you do it?"
He felt that these geese had become spirits.
Su Huaijing was dissatisfied with the doubts and said confidently: "Of course I can do it."
Rong Tang stepped back two steps and watched him put on the ring.
Then after ten circles, the same scene appeared again: the bamboo ring fell to the ground and the big goose cackled.
Rong Tang inexplicably felt a sense of maturity as an experienced person, and walked over to pat him on the shoulder: "Let me do it, you can't do it."
This was almost the first time in Su Huaijing's life that he felt so frustrated, and his face turned pale.
Rong Tang did it effortlessly, with the confidence of a group of noobs who had just fought each other, and continued to smash down ten bamboo rings—
History repeats itself!
This is very normal among people who play the ring tossing game. Only a few can actually hit the target. But suddenly a burst of laughter came from the side.
Ke Hongxue, wearing a fiery red winter outfit, pulled Mu Jingxu, who had been watching for an unknown period of time, and said, "Senior, what do you think they are doing? Are they teasing geese?"
Next to him was Lord Lu, who was trying not to laugh but couldn't, so he turned around and burst out laughing.
Rong Tang fell silent for a moment, looked at Mu Jingxu, who shouldn't have appeared in such a noisy environment, and then they both looked away at the same time.
Ke Hongxue was still laughing over there. Su Huaijing watched for a while how others were catching the geese, then took the ring from Rong Tang's hand again.
Rong Tang began to hesitate: "How about not using a condom?" He didn't want to embarrass Su Huaijing.
Su Huaijing shook his head: "I learned it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a fat goose came out with its head held high and chest puffed out, striding forward with a bamboo ring around its slender neck. It flapped its wings and flew around, looking very much like Master Ke!
Rong Tang's eyes suddenly lit up as he watched Su Huaijing throw three hoops in a row and catch three geese. Then he turned his head to look at Lu Jiaxi beside Mu Jingxu, and threw another big goose into the hoop.
The stall owner was almost annoyed, so he quickly tied up five geese, including the one he had just taken, and gave them to them, asking the giant Buddha to leave.
Rong Tang carried the other three people on his back and counted: "Eat one, raise two, give one to my brother, and one to Xiao Lu!"
Su Huaijing said coldly: "No thanks."
Rong Tang was stunned: "Huh?"
Su Huaijing raised his eyes and looked at Ke Hongxue: "Let him buy it. One is his senior, and the other calls him senior. It's New Year's Day, shouldn't he give a gift?"
Rong Tang was stunned for a moment, almost killed by her cuteness, and turned his head away and laughed muffledly.
When did you become so stingy, my villain
Ke Hongxue who just happened to hear this: "?"
Do you think it's outrageous, brother
