Chapter 229: August

After the last dish of stewed mutton was served, the rich Chinese food began, and most of the dishes on this full table were actually made by He Yun.

This Chinese meal can be said to have been eaten for an hour, during which He Yun kept serving dishes to the children, and Li Anyi was naturally the most frequent.

I feel that every look and every action of her reveals a deep care and love from the bottom of her heart, to be honest, it is impossible without any touch in her heart, after all, Li Anyi is not an iron-hearted person.

Although he has planned to treat Li Jinglong and his wife in front of him as his biological parents, this father and mother are not so easy to call, it takes a certain amount of time to achieve subtlety and adaptation, not so easy to say, it can be changed all at once......

Fortunately, Li Jinglong and his wife seem to be aware of this, and they do not intend to directly highlight the relationship between each other, which also makes Li Anyi breathe a sigh of relief.

After eating this Chinese meal, the relationship between each other unconsciously pulled in a little, and after sitting down and chatting for a while, Li Jinglong's family of three left with a satisfied smile.

……

Quietly, the time has passed the middle of the eighth month of the lunar calendar and has begun to enter the end of August of the lunar calendar.

As the so-called July fire, August is not young, and September is awarded.

However, this year's August and last year's August are very different in terms of temperature, it can be said that it is diametrically opposite, this time last year, Li Anyi just came to this world for not much time, he remembers very clearly that the weather at that time was already very cold and cold, not as hot as it is now.

However, although the capital is still in a hot temperature, the people of the capital are quite cool and happy...... Because at the beginning of August, the imperial court began to give away ice for free at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, and the population of the family was used to stipulate how many catties of ice each household could get.

At first, the people of the capital who heard the news naturally scoffed, and they didn't believe it, in this hot weather, ice cubes are very valuable things, only those high lords are eligible to enjoy, where do they have such blessings to enjoy ice cubes in the hot summer.

However, after seeing that someone really got the ice cubes at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, this unbelief suddenly became a sensation, and it was spread to the hundreds, and all of a sudden the people of the entire capital knew that this was true, and the imperial court really gave away ice cubes for free at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion!

As a result, the people in the capital rushed in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion, anxious, for fear that the ice of the official mansion had been given away earlier, and it would not be their turn.

Fortunately, nothing like this happened, and everyone who arrived got the ice cubes distributed by the government, and the ice cubes in Jingzhao Mansion seemed to be inexhaustible.

After holding the ice cube in his hand, tasting it, and making sure that it was really a genuine ice cube, the people of the capital were not only excited, but also had a strong doubt in their hearts, and this thick doubt made them inevitably turn their heads and ears, talking about why the government had so many ice cubes, so much that they could share these mud legs for free, until someone from the government came out and showed them saltpeter ice......

Seeing such miracles, they who had not seen any big scenes were horrified and screamed, until this was God's show of power, and they almost knelt down.

Fortunately, the people in the government seemed to have expected this to be the case, so at the right time, someone in the government stood up and explained that this was because His Majesty the Emperor could not bear to let the people he sat down suffer from the scorching heat, so after obtaining this method of making ice, he would teach it to every person, so that every person would have ice cubes to use in the hot summer in the future!

Hearing that this was the masterpiece of His Majesty the Emperor, those people immediately accepted it, chanting words such as long live the emperor, wisdom, and so on.

And when the whole capital was caught in the saltpeter ice boom, Li Anyi's side was very idle, staying in the room with Bingjian during the day and rubbing mahjong with a few women, and at night he was holding Lin Xueer or Zhang Yuying to make some shy poems, and then fell asleep, this life is really decadent......

Of course, during this period of time, Li Jinglong's family of three would come over once a day, or even several times, and naturally, Li Anyi and his daughters were also pulled to the General's Mansion next door from time to time.

Whenever this happens, He Yun always takes Lin Xue'er's hand and asks Li Anyi about when he was a child, knowing that the two have been dependent on each other since childhood, he can't help but grab Lin Xue'er's hand tightly, full of love and pity.

And when he learned that Li Anyi was tied up the mountain by thieves last year, and then fell off the cliff and lost his memory, he was even more distressed, and tears suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Li Siyi, who was on the other side, was even more furious, threatening to borrow a thousand Pingyang troops from Xiao Shuyi to level this thief's den who didn't know what to do and dared to bully her brother, but Li Jinglong, who was beside him, not only did not scold her this time, but wanted to personally lead the army to level the bandits' den in his heart.

Fortunately, Lin Xue'er said in time that the bandits' den had been leveled, and they dispelled the thoughts in their hearts.

In addition to this incident, the rest of the time, He Yun is full of smiles, especially on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the entire General's Mansion is full of laughter, this is the best, most satisfying and most lively Mid-Autumn Festival she has had over the years, the only thing that makes her a little regretful is that Li Anyi has never called her mother during this period, she can almost say that she dreams of Li Anyi calling her mother in her dreams every night.

However, if you think about it carefully, in fact, you don't have to be too anxious, these days, through her own efforts, she has become closer and closer to Li Anyi, when she stays alone with Li Anyi, she has already felt that Li Anyi no longer has the kind of restraint she had in the face of her, I believe that it will not be long before Li Anyi will call her the mother she dreamed of.

Every time she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel excited and happy in her heart, and then she was overjoyed.

So, a few more days later, it was the end of August, and September was only a few days away, and the temperature was already a little lower than usual.

On this day, Li Anyi did not huddle in a cold room with a few female turtles and rub mahjong as usual, but went out with Li Siyi, who had been waiting outside for a while, with the gifts that had been prepared long ago.

Because today is the birthday banquet of Emperor Qi's favorite princess, Princess Xiao Shuyi of Pingyang, as a friend, you can't help but go without receiving an invitation, right?

Originally, according to Li Anyi's thoughts, he wanted to take Lin Xueer or Zhang Yuying with him, but after thinking about it, he still gave up, after all, this invitation did not say that he could bring his family members to go together, this palace is not a place to wait, and it is not something that can be entered casually.
