Eldest Uncle and the others didn't mind and pulled Uncle Zhou and the others to play a game of leveling up. Thus, Eldest Uncle, Commander-in-Chief Xia, Youngest Uncle, and Uncle Zhou sat at the same table again.
The two uncles went to the chess room in the backyard and started a new round of chess. The elders found their own ways to relax and entertain themselves. The children didn't want to be left out and started to play snowmen under the care of the servants.
The guards who came with Eldest Uncle and Commander-in-Chief Xia didn't have to stand guard at this time. They simply became the king of the children and led the children to build snowmen.
The guards were also proficient in all kinds of martial arts. The four of them even played a competition to see who could build a snowman first.
When the children saw this, they were so happy that they clapped their hands.
Hou Zi and Xia Yiwei's children could have been sitting peacefully in the house. However, when they heard the children's laughter outside, the children, who were only a few months old, knew that they wanted to join in the fun and cried at the top of their lungs.
They cried until the couple couldn't coax them in the house. In the end, the servants who were taking care of them reminded them if they should take them out for a walk. Although it was cold outside, the sun was warm. It was still okay to wear warm clothes and cover up tightly.
Unable to coax the children, the couple carried them out. As soon as they came out, they were surprised. The two children who were crying at the top of their lungs actually stopped crying. Xia Yiwei couldn't help but gently pinch the children's tender cheeks in her arms. "You guys are just like your brothers when they were young. You all want to go out and play!"
Hou Zi hugged his little princess and laughed. "Isn't it great? You should go out for a walk. It's so boring to stay at home all day, isn't it, my little darling?"
After saying that, he raised his daughter high in his arms, making the delicate little girl giggle.
The children were laughing, and the adults were laughing. The red lanterns hanging under the eaves swayed with the wind, as if spreading Family Xia's laughter far, far away.
Ye Chien and his sisters-in-law sat together and started to play cards.
After playing a few rounds, Zhou Yijin, who was sitting next to Ye Chien, swallowed her saliva several times. This was because she realized that... Ye Chien seemed to be counting cards.
Just like now, Third Sister-in-law didn't even play a card. Aunt Liu seemed to know what Third Sister-in-law would play in advance. Her slender fingers had already touched the card she was going to play later. As soon as Third Sister-in-law played, Aunt Liu drew and put down the card without any consideration.
After a few rounds, Zhou Yijin could see that something was up.
In fact, Ye Chien did not calculate carefully. There were only a few dozen cards. She remembered what she had in her hands and what was on the table. She could guess what cards Third Sister-in-law and Fourth Sister-in-law had in their hands.
Eldest sister-in-law and Second sister-in-law didn't play, and all the younger generations were looking for entertainment. It wouldn't be good if no one responded to Old Madam and Old Master's orders.
Xia Lingxiao and Xia Yiting didn't play either. They were both accompanying their wives. They were the type that couldn't be coaxed away. The two sisters-in-law were used to this. After glaring at the two brothers, they ignored them and walked around the room to chat. They felt that it was more interesting than sitting and playing cards.
After Second Sister-in-law walked around Ye Chien's table, Xia Yiting looked to the side and smiled meaningfully. "It's difficult for the two of you to win against Sixth Sister-in-law."
He could tell at a glance that Ye Chien had memorized all the cards. Playing these small cards was like an adult playing against a three-year-old child. He won without any pressure.
When Ye Chien heard this, he knew that Second Brother had noticed something. He looked up and smiled at Xia Yiting. He continued to play cards. "I'm sorry, sisters-in-law. I won again."
