Lin Xiuyan knew he would say that, but it was because they had talked about having children in the carriage earlier that day.
She laughed and said, "Stop fooling around."
Ye Junfei kissed her on the corner of her mouth and said, "I wasn't joking with you."
Lin Xiuyan met his eyes and felt that they were as deep as the sea, making her unconsciously sink into them.
She said softly, "Let's talk about it after you've recovered!"
Ye Junfei's eyes lit up: "Okay, it's settled then."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Who made that agreement with him?
His tactics are too sophisticated!
Ye Qingwan's voice came from the doorway: "Xiuyan, there are lots of fish in that pond over there, come with me to catch some!"
As she spoke, she lifted the curtain and was taken aback when she saw the two people in the room. Then she covered her eyes with her hands.
She turned around and walked out, saying, "I don't know what's wrong with my eyes today, they feel really uncomfortable, and I can't see anything clearly."
Ye Junfei got the answer he wanted and was in a great mood, too lazy to argue with Ye Qingwan.
He sat up and said to Lin Xiuyan, "The scenery in the manor is quite nice. We'll go to Chongqing the day after tomorrow. Let's enjoy ourselves in the manor for the next couple of days."
Lin Xiuyan knew that it would only take half a day to ride a fast horse from here to Chongqing, so she could still make it to Chongqing the day after tomorrow.
She's been battling wits with the people in the Prince's mansion every day these past few days, and she's definitely getting tired.
This estate belongs to Ye Junfei's mother and was previously managed by Ye Qingwan. The people in the estate are all their people.
Here, without the intrigues and power struggles of the royal palace, they can relax a bit.
When Lin Xiuyan came over just now, she saw that the scenery in the manor was indeed very nice.
She got out of bed and went out to find Ye Qingwan to play with.
Ye Qingwan hadn't gone far; she was standing outside the house.
After Lin Xiuyan came out, Ye Qingwan kept chuckling as she watched her.
Lin Xiuyan knew what kind of person she was in private, so she didn't bother with her and turned to ask the head of the farm, "Where can we catch fish?"
The head of the village pointed out a location to her and then helped her find fishing tools.
Ye Qingwan nudged Lin Xiuyan's shoulder lightly and said, "My brother is really impatient!"
"Can you tell me what it feels like?"
Lin Xiuyan said with a smile, "You don't plan to get married, so you know what it feels like. All you feel is envy and itching desire."
"So you'd be better off not knowing, so you wouldn't be so lonely and miserable on nights when you're all alone."
Ye Qingwan: "..."
She wanted to kill Lin Xiuyan!
Lin Xiuyan chuckled and asked her, "Are we still going to go fishing?"
Ye Qingwan said with a dark face, "Go!"
Lin Xiuyan laughed even harder when she saw her like this.
When it comes to being disgusting, who can surpass this spoiled brat!
Lin Xiuyan and Ye Qingwan were just fishing for fun.
Ye Qingwan used a small net to scoop around most of the pond and caught a few small shrimp and a few small fish the size of a fingernail.
Lin Xiuyan criticized her for her poor technique, and she got angry at being mocked: "If you're so good, then you do it!"
Lin Xiuyan raised an eyebrow: "I'll do it!"
Half an hour later, the wooden bucket they brought over was half full of fish.
There was everything from crucian carp to clams, as well as a few large shrimp about an inch long and several small crabs.
Ye Qingwan was stunned: "How did you do that?"
Lin Xiuyan waved the small net around her neck and glanced sideways at Ye Qingshiwan: "Isn't this something anyone can do with their hands?"
Ye Qingwan: "..."
She looked down at her hands and suddenly realized she had no hands.
Lin Xiuyan wanted to laugh when she saw her like that. Lin Xiuyan had already reached the maximum level in catching fish in the pond when she was ten years old.
She can catch any fish in the pond she wants, as long as she wants.
Ye Qingwan said somewhat unconvinced, "There are several sparrows in that tree over there. Let's have a contest and see who can shoot down the most."
Sparrows can fly, and if you hit one, the others will definitely be alerted. It is difficult to shoot down more than two at once.
Lin Xiuyan could tell that Ye Qingwan was very resentful of her because of the fishing incident, and wanted to win against her in other ways.
Although she found Ye Qingwan's competitive spirit a bit strange, she had nothing else to do at the moment, so she could play along with Ye Qingwan.
She said, "Okay, then let's count to three at the same time and then start playing mahjong."
Ye Qingwan nodded. The two had agreed to do so, but when it came time to count, they both counted to one at the same time and then started to do it.
Ye Qingwan used a small bow and shot three of them.
Lin Xiuyan used a slingshot. She shot three pebbles at the same time, shooting down three sparrows.
Then, just as the sparrows took flight, she quickly pulled three pebbles from her pocket and knocked three more down.
Ye Qingwan: "..."
When the maid picked up the sparrow, Ye Qingwan watched Lin Xiuyan shoot it down and fell into deep thought.
To some extent, a slingshot is much harder to master than a small bow, yet Lin Xiuyan won against her with a slingshot.
She couldn't help but ask, "I paid a lot of money to learn archery, and there are few in the army who can compare to me."
"I've never seen anyone use a slingshot to this extent. How did you do it?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled at her: "Isn't this something you can do with your hands?"
Ye Qingwan: "..."
She strongly suspected she didn't have hands.
She glared at Lin Xiuyan and said, "You're too provocative!"
Lin Xiuyan smiled adorably: "You can do it if you try."
Ye Qingwan rolled her eyes at her, then remembered that she had another special skill, and said, "I also like to braid flower ropes. Do you dare to compete with me?"
Ye Qingwan has shown her intelligence since childhood, learning everything very quickly.
Previously in the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, her abilities in all aspects far surpassed those of Ye Mingzhu and all the other concubine's daughters.
This was the first time she had ever been so thoroughly crushed.
Lin Xiuyan thought Ye Qingwan was really being too narrow-minded. Why did she have to compare herself to her in these kinds of things?
She asked with a smile, "If I win this time, you're not allowed to cry!"
Ye Qingwan said confidently, "This time I will definitely not lose!"
Lin Xiuyan simply smiled and said, "Alright, bring me the rope, and I'll compete with you."
Ye Qingwan then said, "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, let's just use colorful ribbons to make it!"
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "Okay."
Because it was close to the Dragon Boat Festival, the villagers prepared some colorful silk threads.
Lin Xiuyan lacked patience when it came to embroidery, but weaving colorful silk cords was no challenge for her at all.
In just over half an hour, she had braided five ropes with various patterns.
Ye Qingwan had only woven less than four strips, and Lin Xiuyan's were superior to Ye Qingwan's in both color and weaving.
Ye Qingwan was furious, like a pufferfish: "How did you do that?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled: "Isn't this something you can do with your hands?"
