Shen Nian had something to deal with and was about to return to Lingyun Pavilion when she saw Xia Tian being dragged away. She turned around and glanced at Muchen, who immediately followed.
In the waterside pavilion, everyone was chattering. Some wanted to play tossing pots, some wanted to have a poetry competition, and some suggested playing mahjong directly.
Finally, Chen Ke made the final decision and decided to play the game of tossing pots first.
Wait for the servant to set up the props.
Everyone was eager to try and get started. Shen Lan stepped forward first and said, "Just throwing pots is boring. Why don't we add some prizes?"
"Okay, that's a good suggestion."
"What's the prize?"
"Whoever loses should write a poem on the spot?" Someone started to make a dirty move.
"None of the younger ones can write poems, so why don't we each take out a personal item as a prize?" Chen Lan suggested, glancing at Xia Tian.
"Okay, okay, it has to be expensive. Cheap things won't do." Someone else followed suit.
Xia Tian rolled his eyes in his heart. Was he just digging a hole for himself?
She didn't hear them when they were secretly plotting just now, right?
"Sister-in-law, is it okay?" Shen Lan asked expectantly.
"I'm fine!" Xia Tian replied with a smile.
He ordered the maid to bring a tray and everyone put their prize money on it in turn.
It was Xia Tian's turn. Xia Tian took out a two-liang silver coin and threw it into the tray.
The others were so surprised that they opened their mouths, not knowing what to say. Is it possible to use silver as a bet in this game?
Chen Lan was stunned for a while before she realized that if she just took the silver directly, how would she perform the next play?
"Sister-in-law, you can't just use silver as a prize. You have to use something close to your body. You see everyone is giving hairpins, jade pendants, earrings, etc." Shen Lan wanted to persuade Xia Tian to change the prize. "I think the jade hairpin on your head is very good. How about using that?"
"No, this won't do. This was given to me by your eldest brother. I can't bear to part with it."
"The bracelet on your hand will do, too."
"No. I only have silver. Forget it, I don't want to play anymore." Xia Tian said as he was about to take back the silver on the tray.
"Okay, okay, it's just money!" Shen Lan said helplessly.
