"So, did I lose this match?" Huo Yanyu asked dejectedly, looking at Xie Zhiyi who was following everyone out of the tent.
"Haha, silly boy, you didn't lose, you won. At least you saw your own heart clearly, didn't you?" Xie Zhiyi laughed.
"Peng Lang! It's all your fault!" Huo Yanyu turned her head and glared fiercely at Peng Silang.
"Hey, silly girl, how can you blame me? I..." Peng Silang instinctively started his usual bickering routine, but under Huo Yanyu's glare, the girls' arms crossed, and the brothers' disappointed looks, he chickened out. "Yeah, that's right, it's all my fault. I'm slow, I'm silly, I'm stupid. Don't be angry, or I should write back soon?"
After a pause, Peng Silang added, "Or, I can go back and make a scene, and we'll get married first, and let Second Brother get married later. That way, we'll both win!"
Huo Yanyu's face flushed instantly: "Who, who wants to marry you?"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. "Peng Silang, as expected of you, you can even compare this?"
After laughing, Peng Erlang said, "There is an order of seniority. Fourth Brother, my good brother, don't worry. If Grandfather won't agree, Uncle certainly won't either. So, you can rest now!"
Everyone laughed again.
Lu Zheng suddenly said, "No one's asleep yet, and no one's sleepy anymore. We've already entered the territory of Dalang Prefecture, how about we have a couple of drinks together?"
Gu Xin was the first to agree: "Great! Let's have a couple of drinks!"
Gu Nian tapped her on the head: "Our Xin Xin has become a little drunkard!"
Everyone went to the fire.
Lu Zheng went to find Ying Shiyuding, and soon the group of merchants' attendants brought over wine, all in small jars, and each person received a jar.
Cheng Huaijin was also summoned, and Princess Shalin went to call her eldest and third brothers as well. She was too young to drink, but her brothers could. Moreover, the brothers and sisters of Da Zhou were having a great time!
Once everyone had arrived, a group of young men and women gathered around the fire, drinking and chatting happily. When they talked about something joyful, they would even sing a song loudly.
Cai Xiaolian was woken up by the noise of the group and nudged Gu Shouxin next to her: "So Silang and Yanyu got together?"
Gu Shouxin turned around, hugged Cai Xiaolian, and kissed her forehead: "Yes, Madam, your plan is brilliant. These two children are a success."
Cai Xiaolian gently nudged him: "You old lecher, there's a bunch of kids outside!"
Gu Shouxin chuckled softly, "What are you thinking, my wife? I was just giving you a kiss, how is that inappropriate! Besides, you know I'm not old."
Cai Xiaolian slapped him, saying that he was becoming more and more unserious.
Gu Shouxin took her hand and placed it on his heart: "Madam, we only have Niannian, Xinxin and the three boys, isn't that a bit too few? We haven't made any real efforts in the past year or so, why don't we try harder?"
Cai Xiaolian stopped him: "No, we've been traveling for over a month and haven't had a proper wash yet. I don't want to."
Gu Shouxin chuckled: "So, does that mean we can work hard after we get home and take a good shower?"
"Go to hell!" Cai Xiaolian struggled to turn over, but couldn't break free. "Gu Lao Er, let me go."
Gu Shouxin let go, but when Cai Xiaolian turned her back to him, he hugged her again: "Madam, don't move, let's just sleep like this."
Cai Xiaolian felt her ears turn red. This man was almost forty, yet he acted like a young boy.
