Spring is a good time to travel, with good sunshine and warm breezes. Hagi Niang and Zheng Yan often travel together, in addition to Jiankang, they also went to some landscape temples around Jingkou to visit and make wishes, and the two occasionally joked and teased each other, no longer as distant as before.

The weather was very good that day, and the two came back from a day of shopping in Jiankang, very tired, and sat side by side in the carriage to rest. Cai Ling knelt opposite and fanned the two girls.

Spring sleepiness was repeated, and the carriage was bumpy again, and Hagi Niang fell asleep leaning on the carriage in a daze.

She took a nap and was woken up again, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that Cailing, the little girl, didn't play a fan, and she also fell asleep with her head tilted, and the wisp of saliva at the corner of her mouth was almost dry. She was so angry and funny, and she was about to ask Zheng Yan to see it, but she was surprised to find that Zheng Yan was calming down, with an apricot face and peach cheeks, and a smile at the corner of her mouth. That kind of affectionate look is completely the expression of the girl Sichun.

Hagi Niang slapped her narrowly, startling her, her watery eyes glanced at her with disgust, and spit out two words coquettishly: "Hate~." ”

Hagi Niang's goosebumps fell to the ground, and asked her seriously: "Which love brother thinks so obsessed?" ”

"What's the love brother." Zheng Yan straightened her body and tried to save a little dignity.

"If you come less, you are all blushing, and you can tell me honestly, who is your surname, and how did you know each other?"

Of course, Zheng Yan refused to admit it, Hagi Niang's gossip was out of control, and she swore that she would never tell the second person. Zheng Yan opened her mouth with a red face, this secret was so uncomfortable in her heart.

"I didn't talk to him, but I saw that he was born handsome and elegant, and I thought his heart was excellent."

"Ouch, my good sister, that is, the gentleman who walks the streets and alleys, also has to sit opposite people for a long time, from the head to the feet, and the hand and the bone, or is it just 'knowing the face but not the heart', you have only seen him a few times, even the heart has been seen?" *

Zheng Yan was embarrassed, and pounced on her and made a gesture to hit her: "You sister-in-law, where did you learn these nonsense in your stomach!" ”*

Hagi Niang grinned and pressed her, and said seriously: "Sister think about what I said, is this the truth, even if you like someone, you have to know him well, how can you love stupidly just by looking at your appearance." ”

Zheng Yan said unconvinced: "He is dressed quite luxuriously, like a serious son." She thought for a moment and added, "People who can often visit a shop like Si Xuntang should have a good family background." ”

Hagi Niang thought about it, and it was true, the spices of Si Xuntang were more than ten times more expensive than ordinary stores, and the regular customers of that store were either rich or expensive. She was half relieved, pinched Zheng Yan's crimson face, and forced her to promise, "The next time you see that son, you must call me to palm my eyes." This is good, Zheng Yan's face is even redder.

This spring rain is prolonged and boring.

Hagi Niang is most annoyed by this kind of weather, which is obviously the season when all things grow, but it is very lonely and lonely.

Because of the prevention of dampness and mold, the maids did not dare to open the box to arrange the clothes and jewelry, everyone had nothing to do, and the whole Xiyuan was bored.

It would be nice if it were in modern times, no matter what weather you have, you can still watch TV at home.

There was really too little entertainment in ancient times.

With a flash of inspiration in her mind, Hagi Niang threw away the embroidery in her hand, jumped up and said, "Let's play a game." “

Zheng Yan looked up listlessly and asked, "What are you playing?" There are only a few things that come and go, and the leaf brand double land flag is tired of playing. “

Cai Tang really wants to play, after all, she is still a child.

The other maids in the house all put down what they were pretending to be busy with and gathered around, their eyes shining.

Hagi Niang originally wanted to teach them the small games she had played at the dinner table in her previous life. But Li's mother preemptively suggested playing with pitchers, and it is said that when the old man was Shang Shulang, he received several sets of exquisite pitcher utensils at home, but he could borrow them.

Hagi Niang has never played this game before, and she was immediately full of interest, and she felt very funny when she heard the name.

Everyone had a goal and went their separate ways.

Those who borrow pitchers borrow pitchers, and those who move tables move tables. Li's mother is usually responsible for providing tea, and the game of throwing pots must be dry and sweaty at the end, and hot water, sweet soup, snacks and everything must be prepared.

There were not enough chairs to sit on, so Caihu Caiyun moved all the stools in the warehouse to put sundries, and everyone sat down together.

The head of Xiyuan has never been so complete, the two girls of Hagi Niang and Zheng Yan sit firmly on the couch, Cai Ling Cai Hu Cai Yun sits on a stool, Cai Feng Cai Tang sits on a stool, Mother Li smiled and picked up the pitcher and explained the gameplay to everyone.

In fact, you can understand at a glance, the clay pot with a thin neck and a big belly, the neck is as thick as a steel pipe, and it is placed firmly on the ground a little farther away. It's a bit like a mud doll on a stall in a modern night market.

People who love to play will derive a lot of ways to play, blind casting and reverse throwing. But all the people here are women and children, just play around.

In the first game, the pot was placed very close, and Hagi Niang saw it and threw it in, and sure enough, it hit. Zheng Yan was greedy, and hurriedly said, "I'll come, I'll come", threw an arrow, didn't even touch the edge of the pot, and shouted that he wanted to lose it again, but he was missed, but he used too much force, and the direction was wrong, so it popped out. Everyone laughed again, Hagi Niang even said that she was not allowed to lie on the skin anymore, and she pressed Zheng Yan and poured wine.

The wine is sweet rice wine, and the cup is a very small set of twelve flower god colorful cups, but I am not afraid of getting drunk.

Li's mother said that it was not good to drink on an empty stomach, so she went to the small kitchen to gather a few delicious side dishes, put them in a chic ivory white porcelain bowl, and put them on the table.

Zheng Yan ate a piece of braised pork tongue with chopsticks, so fresh that she almost ate her own tongue.

Cai Tang grabbed an arrow in his hand to play, and the slave was also clamoring to play, and the two of them broke out reluctantly.

Hagi Niang saw that neither of them would let anyone, so she could only make a rule, so she sorted by age, and whoever was youngest played first.

In the West Garden, there were originally sisters and sisters who were mixed, but now they are separated from the eldest and youngest.

The youngest is naturally Caitang, followed by the slave, and the two of them are ten years old after the end of the year. Next is that Caiyun is half a year younger than Caihu, Hagi Niang has always felt that Caiyun is slightly older than Caihu, and these two are twelve years old. Zheng Yan is also twelve years old, but she was born in February, just a few days later. Hagi Niang scolded with a smile, "If you sneak over your birthday and don't invite us to drink, we should be punished", and instructed Li's mother to prepare a few good dishes, which should be regarded as celebrating Zheng Yan's birthday. Hagi Niang and Cai Ling are both thirteen years old, and Cai Ling is slightly a few months younger. The eldest Cai Feng proudly put on the posture of the eldest sister, and rushed to Cai Ling to ask her to call herself "Sister Cai Feng".

They are all cardamom girls, not afraid of others saying that they are old, but afraid that others will think that they are not old.

At that moment, Cai Tang and the slave were no longer noisy, and they played affectionately.

The position of the pot was really close, and everyone hit it, only Zheng Yan was punished for drinking.

Zheng Yan was anxious, grabbed the pot, and moved it five steps away.

This time, everyone didn't vote, and one person had a glass of wine, only to feel warm.

Another round of throwing, still no one could hit, and they were all listless.

It was almost dusk, but the rain had stopped, and the breeze was blowing.

Hagi Niang instructed that as in the New Year, a round table should be set up in the courtyard and dinner would be gathered around.

first gave Zheng Yan a glass, Hagi Niang opened her mouth and wished her a good marriage, and she was so ashamed that she refused to drink wine, and everyone laughed again.
