In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

His aunt spoiled him so much, so he is not good at studying?

Bai Lu frowned, then smiled, "...I see."

"What turns out to be that?"

Bai Lu didn't say anything else, she just said to the little prince: "Please take good care of the young master Ximen in the future."

"You go play, take him with you."

"As long as you go, you take him with you, and try not to separate the two of you."

"..."

The little prince rolled his eyes and nodded: "Okay."

He is his brother-in-law, so of course he has to take Ximen Liuyun with him.

They ate very happily that day. Several children touched their bellies, feeling very full, and said to Bai Lu.

"I'm full, really full."

"This big pork elbow is so delicious."

"We all ate the pork elbow skin, it was super delicious, how come it was so tasty?!"

"And this braised lion's head is really delicious."

"Why does this hawthorn candy smell so good?!"

"We also think this bird's nest water tastes good."

"..."

Before, because they were still young, Bai Lu didn't let them eat too much.

Now, taking advantage of Ximen Liuyun’s birthday, I can eat a lot.

The children were very happy while eating and their stomachs were full.

Bai Lu was very happy to see them, so she asked them to go back to their rooms to change clothes and rest.

"You don't have to study recently, you can rest for a while."

Bai Lu reminded them.

They all nodded with a smile, "Yeah, yeah."

They don’t have to study recently, so they feel relieved.

Although I like reading, who doesn’t like taking a vacation? !

The children felt they had eaten enough and ordered a bowl of hawthorn and jujube soup each.

Three large pots of hawthorn and jujube soup were boiled and they were all drunk by them.

After that, they each held their sketchbooks and went to the side to digest their food.

Ximen Liuyun exclaimed while reading the picture book: "What is this... the story of the ugly duckling and the white swan, why have I never read it before?"

"Is this a specialty of your Liangzhou?"

Qiyue next to him said proudly, "This is the picture book compiled by my mother!"

"My mother's pen name is 'I Want to Be a Tyrant'. She has compiled a lot of storybooks!"

"What... The Ugly Duckling and the White Swan, The Princess and the Pea, Sleeping Beauty... These stories are very popular in Liangzhou."

"But no one outside knows who I want to be the boss! It's actually my mother."

"...I want to be a bully. What kind of name is that?! It sounds weird."

Ximen Liuyun frowned.

Qiyue next to him pouted and said, "What do you know? This is called literary style. This is what our mother taught us."

"Wow, that White Lady is so artistic!"

Ximen Liuyun couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "If the picture book is very popular in Liangzhou, then White Snake is indeed very talented."

"Come on, come on, let me take a look at this sketchbook, too. Let me take a look at it, too."

As he said that, he walked forward and started watching with great interest along with July and the other kids.

The scene where they are looking at the picture book is also very interesting.

Several children were sitting on the ground, and there were several woolen blankets on the ground. The blankets were a little dirty, but only the back where they touched the ground was a little dirty. The tops were still as good as new, and several maids would clean them in time.

They dressed rather casually, wearing shirts on the upper body and trousers on the lower body. Children from common families basically wore trousers on the lower body, and only ladies from noble families would wear long skirts.

But Bai Lu considered that the children are still young now, so it’s okay for them to wear long pants. But when they grow up, they will have to wear long skirts.

Girls in ancient times were basically like this. For example, the daughters of military generals, where the rules were more relaxed, could wear long pants and then change into long skirts when they were ten years old.

However, some ancient families with strict rules, especially those of scholars, were more conservative. For example, girls were not allowed to show their arms or legs since childhood.

But the fisherwomen on the seashore are basically fifteen or sixteen years old, and they all wear pants to make it convenient for them to go into the sea and catch fish.

The children wore whatever they liked and just lay, crouched, or piled up on the ground.

March, May and July all stuck to January, listening to her reading from the picture book.

One paragraph is read in one month, and the next paragraph is read by someone else.

They all took turns reading, so they could finish reading more than a dozen picture books in one afternoon, and everyone listened very attentively, afraid that they would miss a paragraph.

This was a method that Bai Lu discovered later to train children's thinking and encourage them to read more.

January read a passage: "Once upon a time there was a little duck who thought he was very ugly. Among a bunch of swans, he thought he was particularly ugly..."

February started reading again: "This little duck was very inferior to him. One day, the swans happened to swim beside him and started to laugh at him..."

Then comes March, April, May...

Bai Lu was listening nearby and she found it quite interesting to see them reading the picture book in this way.

By the way, I didn't forget to ask Dujuan and the others to help put some fruits for them. There were relatively few fruits, only grapes and cantaloupes.

In fact, Liangzhou is located in a remote area, and the popular fruits can only be found in the south. It is still winter here, so they are relatively rare.

But even if it was grapes and cantaloupe, everyone was very satisfied eating them because they were very sweet.

Bailu then took out some dried fruits from her cellar and gave them various kinds of dried fruits, such as dried apricots, dried peaches, dried plums... peanuts, melon seeds, pumpkin kernels... all fried until they were very fragrant.

There are also sugar-roasted chestnuts and a large plate of candied haws.

It's the kind where the candied haws vendor holds a big bamboo bucket with all kinds of candied haws stuck on it.

This is a big bucket of candied haws that I received from a vendor a few days ago. It is enough for seven girls and four boys to eat for a long time.

Bai Lu touched her chin, looked at the children who were reading picture books and eating grapes and dried fruits, and silently pushed a few bags of cakes to them.

After thinking about it, I felt like something was missing.

Bai Lu glanced at the flying snow outside the house and closed the windows tightly so that they would not get cold.

Shaoyao next to him was very considerate and put a big stove into the house, started to make a fire, and also started the floor heating. Soon the house became warm.

And everyone had a hot water bottle in their hands, so they wouldn't get cold.
