Eldest Uncle and the rest didn't mind either. They had started playing last week. Hence, Eldest Uncle, Commander Xia, Youngest Uncle, and Uncle Zhou sat at the sa table again.
The two other uncles went to the chess room in the backyard and started a new round of chess. The elders found their own ways of leisure and entertainnt. The children couldn't stand the loneliness, so the servants watch over them as they built snown.
The guards who ca with Eldest Uncle and Commander Xia didn't have to stand guard anymore. They simply beca the children's caretakers and led the children to build snown.
The guards were also proficient in all kinds of martial arts. The four of them even competed to see who would be the first to pile up the snown.
The children clapped their hands happily when they saw this.
Hou Zi and Xia Yiwei's babies were in the house, but when they heard the laughter of the children outside, the babies, who were only a few months old, wanted to join in the fun. They cried at the top of their lungs.
The two babies cried and couldn't be coaxed. It was the servant who took care of them who reminded the couple that they should bring the babies. Although it was cold outside, the sun was warm. They could wear warr clothes and cover themselves up.
The couple, who couldn't coax the children, carried them out. When they ca out, it was strange. The two babies who had cried at the sa ti stopped crying. Xia Yiwei couldn't help but pinch the tender face of the baby in her arms. "You guys are just like your cousins. All of you just want to go out and play!"
Hou Zi hugged his little princess and laughed. "Isn't it good? It's good to co out and take a walk. It's so boring to stay at ho all day, right, my little baby?"
After he finished speaking, he raised his daughter high in his arms and made his delicate daughter giggle.
The children were laughing, and so were the adults. The red lanterns hanging under the roof swayed in the wind. It seed to spread the laughter of the Xia family far and wide.
Ye Jian sat with her sisters-in-law. The few of them started playing cards.
After playing a few rounds, Zhou Yijin, who was sitting beside Ye Jian, had already swallowed her saliva a few tis because she realized that… Ye Jian seed to be calculating the cards.
Third Sister-in-law hadn't even put out her cards, but it was as if Ye Jian knew what Third Sister-in-law would play in advance. Her slender fingers had already touched the cards that she was going to play later. As soon as Third Sister-in-law played, Ye Jian pulled out her cards and placed them down without any hesitation.
After a few rounds, Zhou Yijin had figured out what was going on.
Ye Jian wasn't exactly calculating the cards. There were only a few dozen cards. She morized what she had and what was on the table. Then, she could guess what Third Sister-in-law and Fourth Sister-in-law had.
Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law didn't play. All the juniors were looking for entertainnt. It wouldn't be good if no one were there to take the old madam and old master's orders.
Xia Lingxiao and Xia Yiting didn't play either. They accompanied their wives and were the kind that couldn't be coaxed away. The two sisters-in-law were used to this too. They glared at the two brothers and ignored them. They walked around the room while chatting. They felt that it was more interesting than sitting down and playing cards.
After Second Sister-in-law walked around Ye Jian's table, Xia Yiting looked to the side and smiled aningfully. "It'll be difficult for the two of you to win against Little Six's future wife."
He could tell at a glance that Ye Jian rembered all the cards in her heart. In terms of playing cards, Ye Jian was like an adult facing a three-year-old child. She could win without any pressure.
Ye Jian knew what Second Brother was thinking. She looked up and smiled at Xia Yiting. She continued playing her cards. "I'm sorry, Sisters-in-law. I won again."
