Chapter 1164 Snowing
As a gift for Miss Lu Xiao Ding, Mrs. Xia Er selected a complete set of jewelry, two sets of clothes, and two pieces of good silk and satin from Xia Zihan's gifts.
These two pieces of silk and satin were brought by Mrs. Xia Er’s natal sister-in-law. Her natal sister-in-law has always been fond of Mrs. I got two pieces of silk that I didn't even want to use.
One is purple and the other is red, both symbolizing joy and good luck.
The jewelry and clothes given by Xia Zihan are also good things. The Lu family is a small family. We rarely see such good things on weekdays. Even if we do, there are only one or two. Mrs. Lu had one inserted in her head today. The hairpin is a second-grade product produced by Cuiyuxuan. It was bought for her by the Lu family uncle when he returned from Jiangnan. At that time, Qi Lan even gave it a discount.
When Mrs. Lu saw that the Xia family was generous, she gave them a complete set of jewelry with just a small order. They were all top-notch items and she didn't feel pressured.
For a moment, she felt much closer to Mrs. Xia Er. After the banquet, the two of them met each other, and they were like real sisters.
The wedding ceremony went smoothly, and the Lu family didn't leave until mid-afternoon. However, Xia Zijiang, who had been pretending for most of the day, couldn't stay any longer. After seeing the Lu family off, he came over to bid farewell to Xia Shiming.
"Dad, I... I drank a little too much at noon, and I'm a little over the top. Now I'm dizzy. Can you allow my son to go down and rest first?" Xia Zijiang smiled flatteringly.
When Xia Zijiang was twelve or thirteen years old, he secretly got a maid to eat meat. After eating meat, he realized how delicious it was. Fortunately, a lot of his friends liked cockfighting and bird fighting, and they were not interested in women. , Xia Zijiang gradually became less interested in women.
However, today is the day of his engagement. Although Miss Lu didn't come, it couldn't stop his good mood. After drinking some wine, he felt itchy in his heart. Before, because the Lu family didn't leave, he, the protagonist, was also in a good mood. He couldn't leave first. Now that the Lu family had just left, he couldn't wait to resign.
Seeing that his ears were slightly red, Xia Shiming thought he had really drunk too much, so he gave a faint hum and ordered the maid to help him back to his room.
As soon as Xia Zijiang left, Xia Shiming and Chu Jingqi went to the study to talk, while Xia Zihan stayed to talk to Mrs. Xia Er.
"Hey, Princess, look, it's snowing outside."
Chu Qing muttered excitedly.
Xia Zihan looked out the window, and sure enough, at this moment, there was heavy snow falling outside, and it was falling and falling.
The pure white snowflakes brought a chill. Mrs. Xia Er knew that Xia Zihan was afraid of the cold, so she ordered the maid, "Quick, add two more stoves to the house, and the Kang will be warmer."
With Xia Zihan's help, the Xia family had no shortage of money and had prepared plenty of charcoal. However, ordinary charcoal had a faint smoke, so Mrs. Xia Er specially bought a few bags of silver wire charcoal and kept some. Used when guests come to your door.
No, there was a wedding at home today, so she ordered the people below to bring out two bags of silver charcoal. In a moment, one bag had been used.
"The snow came early this year. In previous years, it would have to fall half a month later." Seeing that the room was getting warmer, Mrs. Xia Er pulled Xia Zihan onto the kang and asked the maid to bring her a big pillow to lean on. " If you're tired, just go up and rest for a while. Dinner is still half an hour away."
"No, it's snowing. Aqi and I have to go back quickly, otherwise the snow will be heavy and it will be difficult to walk on the road when we go back at night." Xia Zihan did not take off her shoes to get on the kang. Bring it here.
"Chu Qing, go to the study and ask the prince to come over." Xia Zihan said while tying the belt of his coat.
When Mrs. Xia Er saw that she was leaving, she originally wanted to let her and Chu Jingqi stay at Xia's house for one night, but when she thought that there were two little buns waiting for her parents in Chu's house, her request to stay turned into an instruction, "Then you are on your way. Slow down, it’s snowing hard, the road is icy, and it’s slippery.”
"I know, I'll be careful." Xia Zihan responded. Chu Jingqi came soon.
When Chu Qing met him on the way, he also saw it was snowing. He was afraid that it would be difficult to walk on the road later, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Xia Shiming.
When the couple came out of the house, there was half an inch of snow on the ground. The whole world was covered with a layer of silvery white, and the snow was flying all over the sky, and the cold wind was roaring.
The cold wind poured into the cloak, making her whole body cold. Xia Zihan subconsciously shrank her neck, and her little face turned pale at this moment. When Chu Jingqi saw this, she hugged her petite body tightly and turned to face him. The second wife of Xia Shimingxia and Xia Ziye were seeing off, and Xia Zihai said, "It's cold, you go in, don't see me off."
The carriage stopped outside the hanging flower door. The couple walked out of the hanging flower door and got into the warm carriage. Chu Jingqi rubbed Xia Zihan's hands, exhaled and said, "Why don't you get a hand stove? What are the maids doing? Is this still the master’s order?”
He took out his anger towards Xia Zihan on the head of the maid.
Xia Zihan said, "It's none of the maid's business, it's just that I don't want to bring a stove."
When she went out in the morning, it was not too cold, so she asked the maid not to prepare the hand stove. There were two stoves in the carriage, and it was not cold when she sat in the carriage.
Who knows, just after noon, the weather suddenly became cold and it started to snow heavily.
Seeing that Xia Zihan's hands were warm, Chu Jingqi took off his cloak and said to the outside, "Walk slower."
"I understand, Your Majesty."
The driver responded.
Xia Zihan also took off her cloak. As soon as she put it on, a hand stretched out from beside her. The next moment, she was enveloped in a familiar and warm embrace. A caring voice came from above her head, "You are so fragile." It’s cold, but it doesn’t get hot no matter how hard it is heated.”
"Women are yin, and their bodies are inherently colder than men." Xia Zihan pursed her lips.
But, in fact, she has a cold constitution.
In her previous life, just because she was cold, she could not conceive a child even though she slept with Cao Zian for so many days before she was disfigured.
In this life, she learned medical skills, and her master began to help her recuperate her body and bones early. Although she was no longer cold and was lucky enough to have a child, her hands and feet still tended to get cold every winter.
Her feet were extremely cold when she went to bed at night, and she always had to be held between Aqi's legs to warm them up.
Therefore, Chu Jingqi usually pays special attention to Xia Zihan's keeping warm. If the maid neglects something and makes Xia Zihan catch a cold, Chu Jingqi will look particularly embarrassed.
"Okay, next time you go out, remember to take the hand stove." Seeing that Chu Jingqi's face was still dark, Xia Zihan coaxed him a few words.
