Chapter 38: "Pitching the Pot"

After that day, the whole state and the governor were looking forward to some good news from Ye Chi, but they heard that one of them was going to leave and the other was going to stay.

The eldest princess was frightened by the news, she didn't understand what these young people were thinking, she felt that she should do something for Ye Chi, so she decided to gather some people to come to the state pastor's mansion to have a meal together in a few days, after all, it was too deserted here, and Ye Chi's mansion didn't even have a subordinate, just like when she was in the capital, there were always only two people, him and Changsu, and she felt a little chilled when she looked at it.

Yutai Kaoru naturally agreed, but he didn't particularly care, and all his focus was on the yamen during these days. Probably at the end of the month, Ye Chi will go to visit the indigenous areas on the border of Qinzhou, these places are not the first time that there has been chaos, and the attitude of the two of them towards this matter is also ordinary, at most half a month.

It's not the first time he's on a business trip, but Kaoru Tantai inexplicably feels that parting makes her a little unhappy, and after the beginning of spring, she has been busy one after another, and the real leisure is only during the first month.

Kaoru Tantai was already familiar with the work of the state pastor, and she could see that Ye Chi occasionally taught her how to deal with various things, consciously or unconsciously. Such details reminded her all the time that Ye Chi was leaving, which felt very bad.

Two days before Ye Chi's departure, the eldest princess of Yasuhara called everyone she could muster. Ye Chi and Kaoru Yutai have barely made any substantive progress, she has been anxious about this matter for a long time, and she is worried that the two of them will feel embarrassed, and even the peach who came to borrow the book is counted.

Yuan Ziling heard about this from A Yao, so she naturally followed, only to know that the eldest princess had chosen a sunny day to play pitching with them.

This game is very common in Weiguo, but after all, no one is bored enough to practice it, so everyone's level is about the same. The eldest princess asked the maid to clean up the yard, and specially prepared a lot of snacks, although she was the only elder, she didn't seem so difficult to get close to, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that the palace is going to leave in a few days, so this meal should be for me and Qingyuan." ”

Su Yu followed: "I will also go back to the capital with my aunt." ”

Kaoru Tandai listened with a teacup in his hand, and suddenly felt that after they left, this place would probably return to the desert it used to be. She never cared about these things, and it seemed to her that the lively or ordinary life was the same, but people are emotional animals, and they will naturally be reluctant to get along for a long time.

Ye Chi smiled faintly, breaking the silence, "If you have time, you can go to the capital together to have a look." ”

Ah Yao kept his head down, looking a little uncomfortable, and asked, "When will Lord Ye go to the capital?"

"It's probably going to be the end of the summer. Ye Chi looked away when he said this, as if he was not very sure. Ah Yao didn't notice his expression, but Yuan Ziling, who had been looking at him, took in the whole thing.

Yuan Ziling sat next to Ah Yao, he had realized a long time ago that the little girl he had been watching growing up had been snatched away by Ye Chi, but his acceptance Cheng DΓΉ surprised even himself.

Childhood sweethearts are a relationship that is difficult to explain, like some kind of tacit understanding. There was a sudden change in the life of a habitual being, some discomfort, and an awkward impulse, but it was not as indispensable as he thought.

He didn't like it.

The dusk in the town was beautiful, and there was a faint flush on the horizon. Peach sat quietly on one side, looking around carefully, except for Yutai Yao, who lived with her, and Ye Chi often borrowed her books, she was not familiar with most of the people here, and was detained by the eldest princess to play games for no reason, which seemed a little restrained, but fortunately, her father stayed in the hospital today, and she was not in a hurry to go back.

Chang Su sat close and saw that she was really restrained, so he handed her a fruit and gave Ah Yao another one: "Eat." ”

Momoko nodded silently and whispered, "Thank you." ”

The eldest princess specially arranged for Ye Chi to sit with Kaoru Yutai, but they didn't seem particularly close. She was not very happy, and after asking the maid to fetch the pitching utensils, she clapped her hands and said boldly: "Since there are many people today, let's divide into groups, two people, and see which group has the highest score, and the lowest score will be punished." ”

As soon as Ah Yao heard the "grouping", he immediately understood her intentions, glanced at Ye Chi with small eyes, and pulled Chang Su and said, "I'll be in a group with Brother Changsu, so that Lord Ye can be in a group with my sister." ”

The eldest princess smiled, she felt that this child was too smart, and raised a pair of Danfeng eyes to look at her nephew in front of her.

After Ah Yao ran to Chang Su, Su Yu was the closest to Yuan Ziling, and it seemed that they were going to be divided into a group. Yuan Ziling naturally discovered this, and laughed: "I don't want to be in a group with men." ”

He said and looked at Kaoru Tai silently, but the eldest princess smiled and said, "Since you don't want to be in a group with men, then go with this palace, don't dislike it." ”

"......" Yuan Ziling smoked above his head.

Because of Yuan Ziling's "cooperation", the grouping proceeded quickly, with the princess's personal maid as the referee, and the rest of the people were divided into four groups: Ye Chi and Yutai Kaoru in a group, Ah Yao and Changsu in a group, the princess and Yuan Ziling in a group, and Su Yu and Peach in a group.

Ye Chi is obviously not good at throwing pots, and he almost failed miserably in the first round, but he also realized it quickly, from throwing it to the tree behind him at the beginning, and gradually becoming able to spin around the pot.

"It's useless. ”

Kaoru looked at him with hatred and steel, picked up a bamboo arrow when it was her turn, and threw it in the direction of the pot with bated breath, but the shaft of the arrow did not fall into the pot, as if it disappeared out of thin air, and it was gone.

Everyone was shocked, but no one saw where the arrow went, not in the pot, and the peach that sat closest made a special circle to take a look, but still didn't find it, so they decided to go straight to the next person.

Yutai Kaoru sat down with a frown, Ye Chi looked at her with a light smile, patted her hand, and pointed at Su Yu, who was also defeated miserably, and said, "It's okay, they can't throw in." ”

Despite this, Kaoru Yutai is still a little deflated. Throwing pots is not a difficult thing, as a person who has practiced martial arts since childhood, he can't even find where the arrows went, in a sense, it is useless than Ye Chi.

Ah Yao on the side suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Changsu is so powerful!"

They turned their heads to see that Chang Su had finished throwing, and sure enough, there was an extra arrow in the pot, and it landed very accurately. Ye Chi clapped his hands in admiration, and Wen Ayao said, "Brother Changsu's every arrow has been hit!"

Everyone was amazed when they heard this, they were originally most worried about Kaoru Yutai, but when they found out that she either had no arrows, or hit the ground and broke off, and almost never hit, they were relieved.

It's really bad that a master suddenly appears in a group of weak chickens of similar level.

Chang Su was looked at by them like this, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I am also good at something." ”

The eldest princess patted Yuan Ziling, and regretted being with him. Yuan Ziling said with a bitter face: "It's Your Highness, you want to be with me." ”

"How do you talk to the elders?" the princess frowned, but there was a smile in her eyes, "Why don't you go and vote for me!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

I don't know when it was dark, but the courtyard was lit with bright lights, and because there were children present, the eldest princess only prepared tea and snacks. They played a total of 20 rounds, each game each threw three arrows, and finally the maid as the referee counted the scores, and the first place was undoubtedly the group of A Yao and Chang Su, which was far ahead.

Yao was overjoyed, but they wanted to know who the last one would be and what kind of punishment they would receive than the first place.

Momoko learns quickly and ranks second with Su Yu, while Princess and Yuan Ziling are third, the last one...... Naturally, it was Ye Chi and Kaoru Yutai, who only won one by Ye Chi in the last game, and the score was miserable.

Kaoru Tantai was surprised, she didn't expect that the best one among them would become the last one, and Haruka, who was running around excitedly, also found Kaoru Tantai's arrow, which was deeply pierced into a tree several feet away from the pot.

In any case, if she loses, she loses, so she is naturally willing to gamble and lose, and asked the eldest princess: "How is Your Highness going to punish her?"

"Well...... this"

The eldest princess's so-called "punishment" is not as unthinkable as Ah Yao expected, after all, she also learned that Ye Chi and Kaoru Tai are not yet married and are in the stage of cultivating their relationship. The mind of a girl of this age is often the most difficult to figure out, although Kaoru Tai is what she says, but she is not so heartless; Ye Chi still has a long way to go.

The princess rented a pleasure boat at the pier, and Su Yu led them up, and the punishment was to stay on the boat for an hour to see the scenery. Because it was too late, Yuan Ziling went to send Ah Yao and Peaches home, while Chang Su stayed in the house to pack up his things.

It seems that he is afraid that Ye Chi will not be able to see at night, and there are rows of red candles lit on the cruise ship, and the surroundings are bright. The evening breeze was silent, the river was rippling, and Ye Chi was admittedly a little excited, he had also rented a boat before, but he had not decorated it so meaningfully.

Kaoru Tantai felt thirsty and went down to ask the boat family for water, and then the boat family's dog ran up, a small white dog with a small tail cocked, lively and cute. Ye Chi called it over, and at first it didn't see it, but then he found that he had a fruit in his hand, ran over and sniffed it, and then shook his head and walked away disdainfully.

Ye Chi was very hurt and silently ate the fruit.

Kaoru Tandai, who came up with the tea, saw this scene and sat next to him with a smile, but the dog turned back and jumped beside her, looking very excited.

Kaoru Tantai leaned in and picked it up, and the dog rubbed it in her arms peacefully, and let out a comfortable "snort". Ye Chi was empty-eyed, and accidentally bit the kernel to pieces.

It's definitely a male dog.

In line with the principle of valuing harmony, Ye Chi reached out and wanted to touch the dog, but the dog turned his head away from him, obviously disliking him.

Kaoru Tantai bent his lips and smiled, his eyes moved slightly, and he raised his hand and touched his head: "It's enough to have you like you." ”

Ye Chi's ears turned red in an instant, and even the arrogant dog looked so cute at this time. Kaoru Tantai put the dog on one lap, moved out of a position, and said to him quite calmly:

"If you wish, you can sit on my lap. ”
