Qin Hanzhen and a group of sisters sat around and played Shuanglu on the big kang in the west room of the main house of Songfeng Hall.

She just threw the dice and threw a five, a four, which was bigger than the number of points thrown by Qin Jinrong, and she could move chess first, but she hesitated whether to move two chess pieces, one to five points, one to four points, or to move a chess piece, first to five points, and then to four points. Different ways of moving will bring different results. She secretly calculated in her heart, thinking that maybe the latter move would be better, but in case the opponent Qin Jinrong attacked her pawn halfway, her plan would be frustrated, and it was not as stable as the previous move. For a while, she couldn't make up her mind.

Qin Jinrong waited a little impatiently: "Third sister, why are you procrastinating? What is there to hesitate about? Will you be able to play?!"

Of course Qin Hanzhen can play, Shuanglu is also a popular game in the boudoir today, and Mr. Zeng specially taught it. It's just that she's not very proficient, after all, she doesn't have any companions to play with, and she's usually more homely, except for the occasional practice with her sisters when she comes to the long house, other times, she spends more time on homework and calligraphy. When it comes to Shuanglu's ability, she is probably not as good as the sisters in the long room, right? Maybe even Qin Jinchun is better than her.

However, Qin Hanzhen has a strength that outsiders don't know, that is, Zhao Mo secretly taught him the trick of rolling the dice with one hand. I don't dare to call myself a good player, and I don't dare to guarantee that I can roll the number of points I want every time, but if I just want to roll a few more fours, fives, and sixs, the odds are still quite high. This strength cannot give her a decisive advantage in playing Shuanglu, but it can also help a lot.

Of course, it's just a game with a little girl, and you don't have to take it so seriously. Qin Hanzhen thought about it, and felt that it didn't matter if he won or lost, so he smiled and chose the former way, which was steady.

Qin Jinrong felt greatly disappointed. She had already thought about it, as long as Qin Hanzhen was a little anxious, it would be easy to fall into her trap and catch her off guard, but she didn't expect Qin Hanzhen to be cowardly and ruin her plan. She pursed her lips, moved the two chess pieces at will and took a few steps, then snorted twice, grabbed a large pillow behind her, and grabbed it to vent her anger.

Qin Hanzhen calmly continued to roll the dice. This time, she didn't use Zhao Mo's tricks, but she was also very lucky to throw more points than Qin Jinrong, and once again grabbed the first move, and there were still a lot of points. Qin Jinrong was like a moldy god cover, always throwing one, two, and three points. When Qin Han Zhenshun smoothly walked all the chess pieces back to his own inner game, and moved out of the chessboard one by one, Qin Jinrong had not walked all the chess pieces back to his own inner board, and even one chess piece was still left on the demarcation line. In this way, Qin Hanzhen won all three points and won a complete victory.

Qin Jinrong was so angry that he threw the pillow down.

Lu Yueniang smiled and hugged her and said: "The third sister is in good luck today, but the fifth sister is really unlucky, could it be that the Laba porridge has eaten less, and the Buddha is to blame? Hurry up and let Yahuan take another bowl of hot Laba porridge, and ask the one who has been worshiped in front of the Buddha to transfer it to the fifth sister." ”

Qin Jinrong asked her innocently: "Really, Cousin Lu, if I eat more laba porridge, will it really be transferred?"

Lu Yueniang said with a smile: "What will the Buddha think, how can I know as a mortal? It's just that my sister's hands are frozen and stiff, how can I roll the dice well? Hurry up and eat some hot porridge to warm up my body." ”

Qin Jinrong immediately asked the girl to fetch porridge.

Qin Hanzhen knew that she was young and couldn't lose, so she smiled slightly, got up and retreated, and pressed Qin Jinhua on the chair instead: "After playing for half a day, it hurts my brain." I'm the least good at playing these, so my second sister will fight for me. ”

Qin Jinhua smiled and said, "Okay, the fourth sister will accompany me." Last time, you told me to win a lot of money, and now I will take revenge!"

Qin Jinchun also came up with a smile. Qin Jinrong buried his head and ate half a bowl of porridge, feeling that his body was really much warmer, seeing that Qin Jinchun had just lost a game, he hurriedly squeezed her away, but he didn't want to play with Qin Jinhua, so he only shouted for Qin Hanzhen to come back.

How could Qin Hanzhen fight with her again? If she wins, she will be complained, and if she loses, she will be ridiculed by her, there will be no happy result, so she will simply accept it when she sees it. She was about to open her mouth to refuse, but Lu Yueniang interjected with a smile: "The third sister has also been fighting for a long time, I haven't played yet, why don't the third sister let me fight?"

Qin Jinrong liked the cousin of the Lu family the most, and when he heard this, he hurriedly threw Qin Hanzhen aside and happily played with Lu Yueniang. Lu Yueniang turned out to be a master of Shuanglu, not only played well and played well, but also allowed Qin Jinrong to win the first step after the fierce duel, so excited that the little girl's face was flushed, and she had already forgotten all the unpleasantness of losing chess before, and she also specially ran to Xu's, Yao's, and Min's side to show off for a long time.

Qin Hanzhen looked at Lu Yueniang, who was sorting out the chess pieces on the chessboard, with a smile, and whispered: "Cousin Lu is really a master. ”

Lu Yueniang glanced at her with a smile: "When I followed my parents in office, I had nothing to do, and I often played with the girls." When I go out, I also play with my father's boss, colleagues, or girls from my subordinates' families. From childhood to adulthood, I have long been familiar with it. ”

Qin Han really understood. This is probably the skill that the daughter of the average official eunuch should master when communicating.

Qin Jinchun looked at Qin Jinrong's flaunting appearance on the right side, pursed his lips, and while peeling off the melon seeds and putting them in a small plate, he spat out to his sisters and said: "The fifth sister is really difficult to coax, but it's just a game, I don't know where she gets so big temperament, she is quite honest outside, and she loves to play petty at home." When people lose to her, she wants to laugh at her, and when they win her, she refuses again, so she has to pull people to play until the game is overturned. Only by letting her win in a difficult way will she be quieter and make trouble for others. Every time we play with her, it's a lot harder than playing with someone else. If it's just among our sisters, that's it, and now even Cousin Lu is going to let her, so people really don't know what to say. ”

Qin Jinhua smiled and picked melon seeds from the plate in front of her to eat, and said: "Yesterday, the third aunt gave her a rare good face and made her new clothes, she was so happy as if she was something, she came to Songfeng Hall early this morning to say goodbye to her grandmother." Who knew that when she got here, she found out that Brother Duan'er also had a new dress, and the hair was exactly the color she liked, which was more in her favor than the one on her body, and she began to sulk. But when this kind of thing is said, she doesn't take care of it, and she can't change clothes with Brother Duan'er, so she has to take out her anger on us. But it's nothing, she's the youngest, she's still a child, who cares about her? ”

It turns out that everyone has a tacit understanding and is coaxing the children. Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but reflect on herself, although she didn't deliberately use the skills taught by Zhao Mo to win the game when she was playing Shuanglu, but she had no choice but to win the game smoothly and smoothly when she was lucky today. As an older sister, doesn't she know how to coax her sister too much? When she turns around, she has to write to Zhao Mo to ask for advice on how to roll small points when she rolls the dice, and it will be more convenient when she wants to coax the child in the future......

It was getting dark, but the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Qin Youzhen was afraid that her daughter would suffer from the cold when she returned to Fuguiyuan, so she specially sent a girl to send a big wool cloak and a new hand stove.

Qin Hanzhen got up and said, "I should go back, otherwise it will be dark for a while, and there will be snow on the road, and it will be even more difficult to walk." ”

The sisters hurriedly persuaded her: "Let's stay and eat." It's snowing so hard that it's inconvenient to go back, so why don't you wait until the snow gets lighter?"

Qin Hanzhen hesitated, and when the Xu Yao family and others heard about it, they also persuaded her: "After dinner, I will leave." We have fresh venison in the kitchen today, why don't you stay and try it? We'll have someone bring one to your grandfather and grandmother, and you don't have to worry about eating it alone. ”

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but laugh dumbly, thinking about it, it was difficult to be gracious, and when the wind and snow were a little smaller, he would be able to suffer less sin, so he agreed.

Yao's wanted to send someone to Xifu to report the news, but Feng'er volunteered: "I'll go, my legs and feet are faster than others, and I'm not afraid of snow and slippery roads, and I'll be back after a while." "How could Yao not agree?" smiled and agreed, and asked Yulan to give Feng'er a purse, which was stuffed with two silver bills of a certain weight.

Qin Hanzhen saw that Feng'er was so active, so she couldn't help but go, but told her not to be greedy on the road, walk carefully, and let her put on her big cloak, then play an oil-paper umbrella, and put on clogs, so she was relieved to let her go.

Two quarters of an hour later, Feng'er turned around, still carrying a large food box in her hand, and sent it to Xu's face: "This is what our wife specially instructed to send to the eldest lady, and add a dish to the lady and grandmother." This is the recipe that our girl bought in Lingnan, stewed mutton with carrots and sugarcane, which is lighter than the stewed mutton with the usual ingredients, and it is not hot. Our Hou Ye likes this dish very much, and Mrs. invites the eldest lady, grandmother, and girls to also have a taste. ”

Qin Hanzhen was still a little surprised: "I didn't hear about this dish in the house today?" ”

Feng'er said with a smile: "Today, the steward over there in Jiangnan went to Beijing to deliver New Year's goods, and just in time for the head of Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, he also came, and sent a lot of fresh mutton, and Mrs. instructed the kitchen to make this dish, saying that he would accompany Hou Ye to drink two cups in the evening." The girl came early in the morning, and she ate lunch here, so she didn't know. ”

Qin Hanzhen nodded. Over there, Yao ordered someone to take down the food box, heat the mutton in it slightly, and bring it back to the table, scoop out a small bowl, and send it to Xu. Xu Shi tasted a bite of the soup, ate another piece of mutton, and said with a smile: "This soup is really sweet, and the mutton is also stewed very soft." I eat it very well, but I don't know if you like it or not, so let's try it. ”

Everyone got a bowl of mutton to taste, and most of them thought that this way of eating was quite fresh and delicious, but Brother Jian, Lu Chuming, and the boys thought it was too sweet. Lu Chuliang commented: "It's good to put a little sugarcane, carrots are actually sweet enough." ”

Everyone was satisfied. Qin Hanzhen also liked the venison made by the long house, but he looked up at the window and found that the snow had not become smaller at all, but had a tendency to get bigger and bigger. If I knew this, I might as well go home before dinner, but now I'm afraid it's not even easy to walk.

Qin Jinhua hurriedly pulled her and said: "Such a heavy snow, the third sister has gone back, just sleep in my house for one night, right?" I have a big kang burning over there, and the fourth sister comes to sleep with me every day, it is spacious enough, and you can sleep with three more." Wouldn't it be nice for us to be able to enjoy the snow and talk at the same time?"

Xu's family, Yao's family, as well as Qin Jinchun and Qin Jian, also followed to persuade her. Just when Qin Hanzhen hesitated and didn't know how to refuse, the Yao family had already quickly ordered someone to go to Xifu to deliver the message, which could be regarded as a prelude to the first killing.

She has always responded to her baby girl's wishes.

Qin Han is really helpless, is this a rhythm that can't be refused?
