Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1400: Too busy and too idle

As August is about to enter, the weather in Yujing City is still extremely hot.

The sun scorches the earth mercilessly, and the steaming heat wave stirs up dust.

Water sources were drawn from everywhere in the mansion, and under the shade, it didn't feel so dry/hot, but Lu Mingyu couldn't stand it as soon as he stepped out of the mansion.

She retracted her legs and ran to hide under the banana tree near the screen wall: "Zhaohua, today I just want to sit on the couch in the waterside pavilion and drink iced sour plum soup."

Changsun Tao couldn't help laughing when he saw her narrow look.

He stretched his hand back, took the fan handed by Cang Wu, walked to Lu Mingyu and fanned her: "Don't stand under the banana tree, there are more mosquitoes, be careful to take a big bite."

Lu Mingyu looked depressed: "I would rather be bitten than endure the scorching heat."

At this moment, the little girl from Zhi Zhiju came to report: "Your Highness, Madam, Mr. Xie and Miss Nangong don't seem to be having a very pleasant conversation."

Lu Mingyu snatched the fan from Chang Sun Tao's hand, fanned himself and walked out: "Actually, I'm used to it, and it doesn't seem to be very hot. Let's go."

Changsun Tao couldn't help laughing, and turned his head to look at Cang Wu: "Your empress, it seems that she hasn't changed much in all these years."

Cang Wu couldn't help but laugh: "I feel more and more like a child."

Realizing that he had made a mistake, Cang Wu quickly lowered his head.

Changsun Tao didn't pay attention and chased Lu Mingyu out.

The carriage was waiting outside, and two basins of ice cubes were placed in the carriage, which helped dissipate some of the heat.

Changsun Tao opened the curtain and came in. What caught his eye was Lu Mingyu's curved eyebrows: "It's hard for you to have someone go to the icehouse to shave two basins of ice. It's indeed much cooler in this carriage."

Changsun Tao picked up the fan and fanned her gently: "Although the distance is very close, I can't walk there because I don't want to keep you warm."

As the carriage drove slowly, Lu Mingyu grabbed a piece of ice and played with it, enjoying the cool breeze sent by Chang Sun Tao.

She said: "Zhaohua, what do you think I am thinking?"

Changsun Tao's eyes and brows were full of smiles: "Of course you are thinking of me."

Lu Mingyu looked at the ice gradually turning into water in the palm of his hand: "I am wondering whether the weather will be smooth this year. Will the plow designed by Zhang Yuan be useful? Will the jade millet planted by the people grow well?"

Changsun Tao put down his fan and wiped the water from her hands with a silk handkerchief: "Why are you suddenly worried about the country and the people?"

Lu Mingyu smiled brightly: "Because I am bored, I spend my days now either reading books or pruning flowers and plants. I live like an old lady."

Changsun Tao said: "You may have misunderstood the old woman. They are not as comfortable as you are."

Lu Mingyu hugged his arm and leaned her head against him: "I'm just kidding, I was thinking that if everything goes well, you won't have to work so hard."

Changsun Tao turned his head and rested his chin on the top of her hair: "Don't worry, Yanyan, it's not me who's doing the hard work."

Lu Mingyu pushed his chin away with her backhand: "Don't let your husband hear this, otherwise he will be furious to death."

Changsun Tao gave a low "hmm", his voice was long and clear.

Lu Mingyu let go of his arm, opened the curtain and looked in the direction of Taishu's Mansion: "I don't know if the fortune teller will show up today. I'm a little worried about the children."

Changsun Tao comforted her: "Everything has been arranged, don't worry."

Lu Mingyu said: "I never thought that this time my fortune master would not find my cousin. I don't know if he was thinking about the friendship between master and apprentice, or if he had other plans."

Changsun Tao said: "I think he may have many hiding places, so he will not find his cousin."

Lu Mingyu said: "Now that Jiu Wan's skill has been abolished, and Hong Jiang has also been abolished by Miss Lingling, even if Hong Jiang is rescued, it has lost its use."

"You think what would Emperor Shaktian be like without Hongjiang and Jiuwan regulating his breath? I'm a little curious." Changsun Tao rubbed her face: "Don't be curious about other men."

Lu Mingyu said with a smile: "I'm just curious if you can make it?"

Changsun Tao raised his arms and put her head on his shoulders, "I like to be jealous, don't you know?"

Lu Mingyu nodded: "I understand, my husband. The carriage has stopped for a long time. When are you going to get off the carriage?"

Changsun Tao opened the curtain and jumped out, then put his hand into the carriage: "Here, I will help you."

Lu Mingyu followed his men and got out of the carriage. Suddenly, it became dark above her head, but an umbrella blocked the fierce sunlight.

She hooked Chang Sun Tao's arm, and the couple stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

The two met Xiao Qian in the waterside pavilion, and she was sewing clothes.

She was very happy to see the couple arriving and quickly stood up to greet them: "Sister, brother-in-law, why are you here?"

Lu Mingyu held her hand: "Let's see you."

Xiao Qian smiled and said: "Everything is fine, sister, don't worry."

Lu Mingyu and Chang Sun Tao looked at each other, and Chang Sun Tao smiled and said, "You two sisters, please talk to me while I go shopping in the mansion."

Xiao Qian saluted Chang Sun Tao and then pulled Lu Mingyu to sit down.

Xiao Ji immediately brought the iced sour plum soup, and the two sisters each held a bowl and drank it with gusto.

Lu Mingyu looked at the unfinished clothes in the sewing basket and asked, "This doesn't seem to be the color Mr. likes. Who are you making it for?"

Xiao Qian put down the bowl: "This is for Mr. Baili. He will get married to my mother next month. My mother has no parents to prepare a dowry. As a daughter, I will make some clothes for my future father. I have the right to do so." It’s a heartfelt gesture.”

Lu Mingyu smiled and said, "I'm not as thoughtful as you."

Xiao Qian covered her lips and arched her eyebrows: "It's not that I didn't expect it, it's just that I have more than enough intentions but not enough energy."

Lu Mingyu glanced at her: "Good girl, you dare to make fun of me now, isn't it because your craftsmanship is not very good?"

Xiao Qian quickly changed the subject: "Sister, let's have soup!"

The two sisters drank soup and chatted, as if they had endless topics to talk about.

After a while, Mr. Feng dragged the exhausted Mr. Feng back to the house and saw Chang Sun Tao sitting in the shade, fanning his hand from time to time, which was comfortable and comfortable.

Mr. Feng was so angry that he glared at Changsun Tao fiercely and went into the room to change out of his official robe.

Seeing that Chang Sun Tao didn't look like he was looking for him, he couldn't help but cursed: "Your Highness is really ugly when he is like this. The court and the government are so busy, and you are still here doing nothing."

Changsun Tao didn't even raise his eyelids: "Those things in the court do not have to be done by me, but what I am doing now must be done by me."

Mr. Feng shook his sleeves and said, "Isn't that right? Who else can take a rest for His Highness?"

Changsun Tao put a finger to his lips: "Shh! Don't disturb my fishing."

Mr. Feng frowned: "Your Highness, is he suffering from hysteria?"

After he finished speaking, Chang Sun Tao stood up suddenly: "The fish is hooked."

After saying this, several figures of Chang Sun Tao appeared and disappeared in front of Mr. Feng.

Mr. Feng pinched his eyebrows and said: "Where did the fish come from? Could it be that I am hysterical?"
