Chu Xixuan went to greet him. When he came to him, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
Everything is said without saying anything. Now we have to take care of the child Huaijin, and then we have plenty of time to talk about outside matters.
Huaijin was sitting on the big table, looking at the table full of things, everyone was very curious.
Just when he was about to follow everyone's wishes and grab the seal, he heard his mother's voice.
The little guy saw that everyone was no longer looking at him, so he stood up unsteadily and looked outside.
Soon he saw a dark-skinned man, and the little guy sat down.
He looked at the many things on the table, then turned to look at everyone whose eyes were still on the swarthy man, and then he lay down on the table.
Xiang Tao, who had been paying attention to him, saw him suddenly grinning, stretching out his arms, and sweeping all the beautifully arranged things starting from the place next to Xiang Tao.
He didn't take it, he just stretched out his little arms and swept the things in the middle.
Xiang Tao exclaimed when she saw this. When everyone heard the sound, they remembered that they were still arresting Zhou, and turned around.
When I saw Nian An stretching out her little arms to sweep almost everything into her arms, I didn’t know what to say for a moment. yyls
When Chu Ximo came over, he happened to see this scene. He immediately reached out to pick up the little guy on the table, looked down at his eyes and smiled: "Okay, Nian An did a good job!"
When the little guy saw the things, he had swept them into the middle. Before he could share the things with his mother, he was suddenly picked up, which made him unable to react.
Suddenly, the little guy looked straight at the person in front of him, then looked at Yan Shiqing, then looked at the person in front of him, and then burst into tears without any warning: "Mother... mother..."
Chu Ximo didn't see the expected joy, but instead cried, which made him a little confused for a moment.
He hurried back after all the hard work, but his son didn't have a smile on his face and didn't even call him daddy, but he cried for him.
This kind of complex emotion is probably not something that ordinary people can understand.
Yan Shiqing didn't reach out to hug him back, but smiled and said, "Nian An, have you forgotten? This is dad, Nian An's dad."
When the little guy heard the word dad, he forgot to cry for a moment, with tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes. He looked at his mother and then at the person who was still holding him.
Just when everyone was confused, they saw him stretching out his little hands to hug Chu Ximo's neck, his little nose moved, and then his little hands circled tighter.
Chu Ximo hugged the little person, and her heart suddenly felt extremely satisfied at this moment.
The hard work of traveling all the way back was worth it.
"father!"
The little guy let go of his hand, looked into Chu Ximo's eyes, shouted in a sweet voice, and then buried his little face in the arms of the person in front of him.
Father and mother are different, and he likes them very much.
When Chu Xixuan and Chu Xixuan saw this scene of deep love between father and son, they felt very envious.
When will they be able to do this?
In fact, Chu Xixuan was lucky. He had known for a long time that Yan Shiqing was pregnant, and he would also have a niece or nephew.
But Chu Xihao was different. Before he came to this mansion in the morning, his impression of Lao Liu was that he was a single man.
But now, not only does she have Princess Ruyi, she also has a son.
This guy actually rushed ahead of them without making a sound. Fortunately, he was once worried that he would go down alone like this in his life, but he never thought that this beast had eaten people long ago, and now this son is the evidence.
!
Aunt Chu on the side saw this, looked at the things on the table, and then smiled and said some words of blessing, so that this Zhou Zhou arrest was over.
What if the little prince had caught something? But he didn't.
But it would be wrong to say that he was not arrested at all.
The little guy swept everything into his arms.
Because of Chu Ximo's return, this Zhou Zhou banquet was complete.
There are fathers and mothers, and the older generation is here. Except for the two people who can't help themselves, the emperor and Concubine Jiang, the rest are all present, and there are no regrets at all.
Soon the things present were packed away by the servants, and today's lunch was placed in the courtyard.
Except for the extra messenger and Yang Lulan, everyone present was considered as one of our own, so there was no separate banquet in the front or back yard. It was just between two tables, with the servants separated by screens.
After lunch, Yan Shiqing took Xiao Nian'an to eat, while Chu Ximo went to the study with Chu Xixuan and others before everyone dispersed.
In a courtyard in the east of the city, Mrs. Ni was still watching with saltpeter powder. She didn't know what Yan Shiqing wanted so much saltpeter powder for.
If it was used as medicine, then it would be too much. And according to her news, Jishitang has been moving frequently in the past few days, and it seems that it is planning to purchase saltpeter powder in large quantities.
It's really strange. Saltpeter is pungent, bitter, warm, and non-toxic. Even if it is used as medicine, you don't need much of it. Why would you buy so much of it?
Is it possible to make firecrackers?
But this is out of season, so why do we make so many firecrackers, and no one buys them?
She really wanted to find Yan Shiqing in person and ask her why she asked the girl to buy so much saltpeter powder, and what was the connection with Ji Shi Tang?
Wait, Ji Shi Tang, Ning Guogong Mansion, Jiang Mansion, these three are related.
Yesterday, Ningguo Gongfu started selling ice cubes. Could it be related to the saltpeter powder?
Ni thought this, and after doubts flashed in her eyes, she raised her voice and said, "Someone, bring me a basin of water!"
"yes!"
Soon a girl ran out of water in a basin of water. Mrs. Ni looked at the saltpeter powder she asked someone to bring back, looked at the water in the wooden basin, and poured it down immediately after thinking about it.
After seeing that there was no reaction in the basin, she reached out and tried the water in the basin. She felt that it seemed a little cold, but it probably wasn't.
"Tianshu, go to the medicine hall and bring me all the saltpeter powder."
"yes!"
After Tianshu left, Mrs. Ni stood up and stared at the basin of water for a long time.
If this saltpeter powder can be used to make ice cubes, then that means that this is how the ice sold by Duke Ning Guo is made?
The method was most likely provided by her future disciple.
If that's the case, it's really good. He is indeed the apprentice she likes, he is so different.
Soon Tianshu came back, and at the same time he brought back all the saltpeter from Guang'antang's shop in the capital.
Without blinking, Mr. Ni took out a few pieces, which instantly turned into powder and fell into the basin.
After seeing the basin of water freezing, Mrs. Ni sat there as if she had seen a ghost. She looked at it for a long time and then breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, this saltpeter is used to make ice cubes, and the method used by Ning Guo Gongfu was provided by her future apprentice.
This Yan Shiqing was beyond her expectation. She was worthy of being the disciple she had to accept even though she had to lock up that girl Qing Lian. Her qualifications were not as high as usual.
Such ingenuity is beyond compare to someone like her who has been immersed in medical skills for decades.
It seems that we should think of a way to get that girl to come to the door quickly.
