This lunch was a relaxed and comfortable one. The four of them were chatting and laughing while drinking and eating. The food on the table was wiped out without even realizing it.【】
After noon, the sun is shining brightly and the temperature is the highest of the day.
So Chai Yan asked people in the manor to find four deck chairs, place them in a row in the shade on the porch, and then lay on them to enjoy the coolness.
Not long after he lay down, a servant brought fruits and drinks. The servant said that these were specially prepared for them by Gumol.
The servants found a waiter, placed two portions of fruits and drinks between Jimo Qiao and Chai Yan, and between Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie, and then quietly withdrew.
Jimo Qiao reached out and touched the fruit and said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, the fruit is iced... the drink is also iced."
With that said, Jimo Qiao picked up a piece of fruit and ate it happily. While eating, he nodded: "Well, it's delicious. It's so sweet."
Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie heard that it was iced fruit, so they hurriedly took it and tasted it. They immediately felt refreshed and refreshed.
Cheng Jiu gnawed on the watermelon and said, "This is my first time eating iced fruit on a hot day. It's so comfortable."
Yu Tie also nodded and responded: "Yeah, yeah."
When Jimo Qiao saw Chai Yan not eating, he asked, "Brother-in-law, why don't you eat?"
Chai Yan put his hands on the back of his head, looked at the cloudless sky and said, "My stomach is still full and I can't eat for the time being. You can just eat."
Jimo Qiao nodded, and after finishing the fruit in his hand, he picked up the drink.
Seeing that there were broken ice cubes floating in the bowl of drinks, Jimo Qiao sighed: "The eldest prince really knows how to enjoy it. It seems that such a village is not a place where he often lives. He actually has an ice cellar. He can
I’m so willing to give it up.”
Chai Yan turned to look at Jimo Qiao and asked curiously: "Isn't this ice cellar a standard feature for rich people? Is there anything so strange about it?"
Jimo Qiao took a sip of the drink and said: "As far as I know, not all rich people have ice cellars at home. After all, it costs a lot to build an ice cellar to store ice. But he is a big prince, and he has an ice cellar in the manor.
It’s not surprising.”
"You've said it all." Chai Yan smiled.
Jimo Qiao also smiled, and then took two more sips of the drink, then put down the bowl and lay down again, continuing to look at the sky.
After a while, Jimo Qiao suddenly sighed: "It's so comfortable, I really want to lie down like this forever..."
After hearing this, Chai Yan said: "When I return to the capital, I will go to the emperor to ask for a piece of land, and then build a manor of my own. I will also get a corridor and deck chairs like this. Then you can lie down whenever you want.
How about going to lie down when it’s time?”
"Really?" Jimo Qiao suddenly felt a little yearning: "Don't make me happy."
"No kidding, I keep my word. As long as the emperor gives me land, I will definitely build a house by myself. I don't want to live in that garden all the time and feel uncomfortable." Chai Yan said what he meant.
Jimo Qiao immediately said: "Brother-in-law, it's okay even if the emperor doesn't give you the land. My family still has several properties outside the city. As long as you are willing to pay, we can still build such a manor."
Chai Yan said: "You've made a good calculation. The land belongs to your family. After building the house, I can't move it away. Whose will it be in the end?"
"Why are you so stingy? If you are worried, I will tell my parents and ask them to use the piece of land you want in Zhuangzi as your sister's dowry." Jimo Qiao was a little anxious.
Chai Yan immediately laughed: "I'm joking with you, look, you still take it seriously."
"Hey, who takes it seriously?" Jimo Qiao immediately pouted.
While chatting, the two of them suddenly heard a snoring sound.
Turning around, he saw that both Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie were asleep, and it was Cheng Jiu who was snoring.
"I hate it. You should sleep well, but you are still snoring. It's disappointing to hear you!" Jimo Qiao frowned immediately.
Chai Yan smiled and said, "You have to take care of people's snoring?"
At this time, Jimo Qiao reached out and took a plum from the fruit plate, then aimed at Cheng Jiu's head and threw it.
Jimo Qiao was indeed a master of darts. With a single aim and throw, the plum hit Cheng Jiu accurately on the forehead.
"Who! Who?"
After Cheng Jiu was hit by Li Zi, he sat up in shock and kept turning his head to look around.
Yu Tie, who was next to him, was also awakened by Cheng Jiu's voice. He hurriedly sat up and looked at everyone with a confused look on his face.
"It's me!"
Jimo Qiao shouted.
Cheng Jiu asked: "Second Miss, what are you doing?"
Jimo Qiao said: "Nothing. I asked you to get up and eat plums to prevent you from snoring all the time."
Cheng Jiu understood it as soon as he heard it, and immediately scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I have this problem with sleeping."
Jimo Qiao smiled and asked, "Hey! You snore so loudly. Will Situ Jing be able to bear it when we get married in the future?"
"Ah?" Cheng Jiu had never thought about this problem before and was stunned.
Chai Yan also joked: "Yes, Cheng Jiu, you snore so loudly. If Situ Jing can't stand it anymore and wants to sleep in a separate room with you, what will you do?"
"No...it can't be right?" Cheng Jiutian was not afraid, but now he suddenly felt a little worried.
Jimo Qiao said: "Cheng Jiu, I advise you to change this problem quickly to avoid conflicts with your wife in the future."
"Change? How to change it?" Cheng Jiu was thinking about snoring, and he didn't know it even when he was asleep.
Jimo Qiao didn't know how to change it, so he turned to look at Chai Yan: "Brother-in-law, how should I change it?"
Chai Yan said: "How did I know? I don't snore when I sleep."
Cheng Jiu suddenly became a little worried.
Chai Yan thought for a while and said: "Cheng Jiu, you will sleep on your side from now on. It will be less likely to snore if you sleep on your side."
Cheng Jiu nodded immediately and said with a straightforward expression: "I understand, sir, I will always sleep on my side from now on."
Jimo Qiao was immediately amused by Cheng Jiu's appearance and couldn't stop crying.
Just talking and laughing like this, the four of them quickly spent the hottest part of the afternoon.
As the sun turned westward, all the food Jimo Qiao had eaten was digested, and her physical strength gradually recovered, and she began to feel a little unable to sit still.
"Brother-in-law, let's go play on the swing." Jimo Qiao said.
Jimo Qiao always remembered that Ji Ying said there was a swing here to play on, so he thought about it.
After saying that, Jimo Qiao ran outside the yard.
"Why are you going?" Chai Yan asked loudly and hastily.
Jimo Qiao said: "I'll ask them where the swing is and I'll be right back."
Chai Yan had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.
Before half a cup of tea, Jimo Qiao ran back, shouting as he ran: "Brother-in-law, the swing is in the back mountain, let's go to the back mountain."
"Back mountain?" Chai Yan couldn't help but glance at the dense forest of the back mountain.
Immediately afterwards, Chai Yan looked at Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie: "You..."
Cheng Jiu immediately shook his head and said knowingly: "Sir, we won't go. After all, swinging on the swing is not suitable for us two rough guys."
With that said, Cheng Jiu gave Yu Tie a wink.
Yu Tie understood and immediately nodded and said "hmm" twice.
"Brother-in-law, please accompany me on the swing. I've already asked you the way to the back mountain."
Jimo Qiao had already run to Chai Yan's side, hooked his arm and pulled him out.
"Come this way, brother-in-law." Jimo Qiao was happy and excited.
After leaving the courtyard, Chai Yan, led by Jimo Qiao, walked all the way to the back mountain.
The scenery along the way was very nice, but Jimo Qiao didn't allow Chai Yan to stop and admire it. He wanted to fly to the place where the soup swing was.
Chai Yan had no choice but to follow Jimo Qiao and speed up the mountain behind him.
After burning incense, the two found a swing under a big tree at the top of the back mountain.
"Brother-in-law, look at the swing!" Jimo Qiao was so happy that he ran over like a child.
By the time Chai Yan came to the swing, Jimo Qiao had already sat on it and started swinging happily.
"Brother-in-law, push me, push me." Jimo Qiao said to Chai Yan anxiously, holding on to the rope of the swing and swinging his feet.
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Then sit tight..."
After saying that, Chai Yan walked up behind Jimo Qiao and pushed hard, making Jimo Qiao swing high.
"Ah! Hahaha..."
Immediately afterwards, Jimo Qiao's hearty laughter came from the swing under the tree.
