In the carriage, Qin Hanzhen, Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun, two sisters, had a very happy conversation with Cai Yuanzhen.

The four of them have known each other, Qin Jinchun has also met Qin Jinhua and her girlfriends several times in the past, and naturally knows Cai Yuanzhen, and has participated in their small party with Qin Jinhua. It's just that the girlfriend who is good friends with Qin Jinhua is not everyone who treats her as kindly as Cai Yuanzhen. Some people have a bland relationship with her, which is already good, and some people look down on her and are not even happy to say a word. In comparison, Cai Yuanzhen's cordial attitude made Qin Jinchun even more grateful. Therefore, although she didn't know what purpose the Qin family had in inviting the Cai family to go to the Spring Festival together, she was still willing to be close to Cai Yuanzhen, and there was a faint sense of flattery in her words.

Qin Jinchun's attitude has always been like this, and Cai Yuanzhen doesn't care either. They talked about the experience after the Qin family's Spring Banquet, and talked about the gossip of several good friends, such as Tang Su's brother Tang Han took the Tongsheng test again this year, and won the first case in the county examination, and is about to take the government examination again, I don't know if I can successfully get the "little three yuan" all the way? For example, Yu Xinlan's mother had a small illness a few days ago, she needed to stay at home to serve the sick, Qin Hanzhen originally intended to invite her to participate in the spring outing activities, but she had to decline; Qin Jinhua also mentioned that Grandma Pei came to her house twice a few days ago, but Pei Yin did not accompany her, she inquired, it was said that she was unwell, and it was inconvenient to go out; Qin Jinchun heard others mention in the East Palace, saying that the eldest princess of Shouyang planned to kiss her granddaughter Zhang Shu, although she didn't know which one it was, but she heard that it was a kiss, but Zhang Shu cried and refused to agree......

Qin Jinchun just gossiped a little, although Qin Hanzhen, Qin Jinhua and Cai Yuanzhen were very concerned about Zhang Shu's marriage, they didn't want to say anything in front of people, so they could only send people to inquire in private. Cai Yuanzhen simply skipped her and talked about Pei Yin: "She just came to my house to see me a few days ago, and she didn't see that she was unwell, was she mistaken?"

Qin Jinhua said suspiciously: "That's right, at that time, Grandma Pei told me in person, and several girls heard it. My sister doesn't believe it, so she just asks Dye Qiu to go!"

Qin Hanzhen also helped to speak: "I heard the second sister mention this before, it's true." At that time, the second sister was quite worried about Miss Pei's body, so she asked Grandma Pei to convey her greetings, and the second aunt also chose medicinal materials to replenish her body. ”

Cai Yuanzhen showed a puzzled look, but did not delve into it deeply. Pei Yin had a bit of a scandal at the spring banquet in the Chengenhou Mansion not long ago, maybe she didn't have the face to go to the door of the Qin family again, so she deliberately used illness as an excuse to prevaricate?

The road to Changping was quite long, and they had to take a half-day carriage, so after chatting about the news in each person's house, they began to discuss this spring outing. Everyone took out the plan they had prepared, looked at the similarities in the itinerary, and simply accompanied each other and walked together. Qin Hanzhen invited Cai Yuanzhen to her Zhuangzi to enjoy the flowers, and Cai Yuanzhen also invited the three sisters of the Qin family to hunt and play in her Zhuangzi.

Qin Jinhua was a little surprised: "Are you hunting in the spring?"

Cai Yuanzhen said with a smile: "It's not a wild thing, it's just in our own hunting ground, release the small domestic animals and play with us." They were all rabbits and pheasants, and there were no fierce beasts, and they were not afraid of any danger. The people below will carefully select the prey, whether it is spring or autumn, and there is not much difference. ”

If Cai Yuanzhen's own brothers and sisters go to play, this kind of player-style hunting activity will naturally not be in their eyes. But now that the sisters of the Qin family are involved, maybe they will have to count the girls of the Lu family and the Xu family, this level is enough, and it is estimated that it is no problem to count the boys of several families. The boys and girls from the few families who traveled this time, except for the Cai family, were all Sven people who were studying, and the pheasants and rabbits were enough for them to play.

Qin Jinhua was very excited, as she got older year by year, this kind of interesting activity was never able to be played again. Although her mother loved her, she often asked her not to behave too vigorously in front of people for the sake of a good reputation of being dignified and quiet, and the activity of riding a horse and hunting was naturally forbidden. In fact, when she was a child, she was also a frequent visitor to the Cai family's safari ground.

Qin Jinchun was also quite excited. She has even fewer opportunities to participate in such activities. In the East Palace, she gossiped with the county lord of Minshun and several of the county lord's companions, and she found that there were many things she didn't understand, or had never participated in. As a result, she had less of a common language with several noble women, and when they were happy to talk, she was excluded. That's not a good thing. If it was this trip, she would have hunted once, and when she came to the county lord in the future, she would have something to talk about......

Qin Hanzhen was also very excited in his heart. It's not because you can participate in hunting games, rabbit pheasants, it's just meaning. She was happy, just because the Qin family had never held such an event, no matter which room there was, so she hadn't seen much of the relevant scenes. She'll have to open her eyes and see if it's interesting. If you can, you can discuss with Zhao Mo in the future and set up one on their own territory, and they will participate in it by their own people, and no matter what the harvest of hunting is, there is no need to compare it with others......

The four little girls talked about hunting, it is estimated that there will be a few people involved in it, and they have to prepare something, such as hunting clothes or riding clothes are necessary, although the three girls of the Qin family have learned to ride horses, but the level is very inferior, and there is no preparation for this trip. The horses were kindly provided by the Cai family, and Cai Yuanzhen was also willing to lend her used bows and arrows. If it's not enough, it doesn't matter, her sister also has more than one set of bows and arrows, all of which were used when she was younger, and they were placed on the Zhuangzi, and they were not taken home, which is suitable for beginners. When the time comes, everyone will borrow and mix it up.

Qin Jinhua asked: "Is it Ji Zhen's? I didn't see it in the tea shed before, are Ji Zhen and Wanzhen here?"

Cai Yuanzhen smiled and said, "It's Ji Zhen." Wanzhen didn't come. She originally said that she was coming, but she accidentally turned her foot and couldn't walk, so she had to stay at home to recuperate. She has also practiced riding and archery, but she is not as attentive as Ji Zhen, and the bows and arrows she uses are all stored at home, not in Zhuangzi. ”

Cai Wanzhen is the daughter of the Cai family, the second among the sisters, known as the second girl Cai, is fourteen years old this year, the same age as Qin Hanzhen. Cai Jizhen is Cai Yuanzhen's sister, eleven years old this year, the third line, younger than the three sisters of the Qin family. Speaking of borrowing the old bow and arrow she used when she was a child, Qin Hanzhen's expressions were a little subtle. But there is no way, Cai Yuanzhen is also telling the truth, how can the strength of a few of them be compared with a few daughters of the Yunyang Hou Mansion who have learned the art of riding and archery since childhood? With Cai Jizhen's old bow when he was a child, maybe it is just right.

Qin Hanzhen and the others were talking and laughing while sitting in the carriage, and time passed quickly. At noon, several horse-drawn convoys stopped at the gate of Zhuangzi, the third room of the Qin family in Changping. Qin Jian was ordered by his elders to go to find Cai Shizi and invite everyone in the Marquis Mansion of Yunyang to rest in the Qin family's Zhuangzi and have a lunch. Cai Shizi gladly accepted his invitation and personally escorted his mother's carriage into the village, and the accompanying steward took people to Cai's Zhuangzi and settled down first.

The accompanying guards and the guards of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion all stopped and dismounted outside the Zhuangzi, and their own stewards led them to a resting place to eat. Cai Shizi took a few brothers, together with Qin Jian, the Lu family brothers, the Xu family brothers and others, to another clean courtyard to rest. Then the ladies in the carriage arrived at the main house in the village, and after entering the gate, they got out of the car and entered the house. The whole process is orderly, there is no confusion, and there is a difference between men and women, and the door is strictly guarded.

Although the families were not so particular on the road, and the boys and girls had met more than once, when they arrived at the place, it was obvious that they could not continue to relax, and the rules that should be followed were quickly established.

It's just that when the sisters of the Xu family saw this situation, their feelings became a little complicated. The elder brother Xu Zheng was blocked out of the main mansion and in another courtyard, and there was no way to see the ladies of the Cai family again. What the family had expected their brother to do, could it really succeed?

Second Mrs. Xu and Second Grandma Xu also showed a little surprise on their faces. However, the former quickly reacted and quipped: "I originally expected Brother Rong to continue running errands, but now he has escaped." ”

Yao glanced back at them with a smile, and said lightly: "Brother Rong is a good child, and he is also from everyone's background, how can my aunt let him do the rough work of running errands?

Second Mrs. Xu's expression froze, but she soon smiled with her daughter-in-law Second Grandma Xu, as if nothing had happened, and continued to talk and laugh with everyone.

Xu Zheng and Xu Rong brothers can't show their faces in front of their daughters, so it doesn't matter. When it comes to kissing this kind of thing, the elders of the girls only need to see the appearance of the boys and understand their temperament, which is enough, and more things have to be discussed privately by the elders.

Moreover, many people are coming today. In the three heads of the Qin family, except for Qin Jinyi and the concubines of the long house, all the children of the younger generation have arrived; the three sisters and brothers of the Lu family are here, so there is no need to mention them; the younger generation from the Cai family, in addition to Cai Shizi, who is the leader, also has his younger brother Cai Ergongzi, and his sibling sisters Cai Yuanzhen and Cai Jizhen, and two cousins, who are said to be seventeen and nineteen among the brothers, so others call them Cai 17 and Cai 19. Except for Cai Qiqi, who is an orphan who has no father and mother and lives with his uncle and aunt, and the second room of the Qin family is not on the table, the rest are good objects for family discussion.

Even the Lu family, although the family background is slightly inferior, Lu Chuming is also a very good candidate for a husband for Xu Lan. Lu Yueniang is a good girl, maybe she will introduce her to the in-laws of the Xu family by pulling the strings?

Second Mrs. Xu and Second Grandma Xu both feel that today is really a good opportunity, no matter what, with the talents of the four brothers and sisters of the Xu family, they can at least be said to be a family affair, right?

They looked around and looked at the young girls and ladies who were all over the courtyard, and their eyes showed an eager light.
