In winter, the sky gets dark very quickly. It is already dark at midnight, and by mid-morning, it is completely dark.
Nowadays, every family in Nanshan Village has spare money. After their life is better, they will naturally build new houses. This is the top priority for farmers.
Therefore, although there are many people coming to participate in the competition from each village, there is no need to worry about not being able to accommodate them, but each household has a few extra guests. Boiling some hot water and getting some fried snacks is the best way to entertain them.
In the evening, the Bai family paid for and prepared a bonfire party. They had notified everyone in advance that they would have enough food and wine by then.
In addition to these contestants, villagers from Nanshan Village can also participate.
This is the benefit of being a fellow villager, and people from other villages can only envy you.
Nowadays, Nanshan Village is much more united than before. When they learned that the party was held at the entrance of the village, the villagers who were not going to participate in the hunting organized the party spontaneously without anyone shouting.
There was no snow on the ground, there were piles of wood, and tables, chairs, and benches were all set up.
Because it was the first time to attend such a party, everyone was accustomed to setting the table in the manner of a banquet.
Fortunately, Uncle Fu and his wife had already received Bai Ling's instructions and brought people over early to clean up and rearrange.
It was easy to get things done when there were so many people. By the end of the day, the bonfire had been lit and the game was being roasted on the rack.
There were also the roasted whole lamb prepared by the Bai family, and the wild boar given to the Bai family during today's hunt, all of which became delicacies on the shelves.
When Bai Ling and others came over, they smelled various fragrances.
"What should I do? I feel like I can eat a sheep. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?" Qin Xuerou said, touching her belly.
"You can eat freely if you like, and you can drink if you like. But there are so many people here today, so they just drink ordinary sorghum wine. We don't have enough wine at home, so we didn't bring it out." Bai Ling said with a smile.
"Isn't this not good?" Qin Xuerou's eyes were bright, but she asked a question without leaving.
"My cousin is right, you can just like it, there is no need to restrain yourself." Liu Xuyang also smiled and said: "This is the countryside, there are not so many rules. The elders will not say anything, today is a party for young people.
"
"Well, if I get drunk later, you can knock me out and save me from losing my moral character after drinking." Qin Xuerou didn't know what she was like when she was drunk, but she had seen people who were drunk.
What they said was different, so Qin Xuerou had to prepare in advance.
After all, she came here as Liu Xuyang's fiancée. If she was so embarrassed, she wouldn't have the face to see her husband's family in the future.
No matter how careless Qin Xuerou is, she dare not forget the things her grandmother told her before leaving home.
When Liu Xudong saw that Princess Yayang was silent, he thought she didn't like such an occasion, so he said, "If you're not used to it, go back in a while. Whatever you like to eat, I'll bring it to you."
"I have never attended such a banquet. I'm afraid I might be embarrassed later." Princess Yayang said a little embarrassed.
"Who hasn't done something embarrassing? It's my first time too. There is also a bonfire party in Nanshan Village, but it's all young people eating and drinking. It's never been such a lively event. I don't know what my second cousin has prepared. It's okay.
, if you feel embarrassed later, I will make sure to throw someone older than you, so you won’t feel embarrassed."
Liu Xudong said warm-heartedly, saying things that people couldn't agree with.
Bai Ling is the host of today's party, so naturally he has to say a few words for the occasion.
"Dear fellow villagers, thank you all for your support and care over the past few years. The Bai family has been able to get where it is today. The Bai family will keep everything in mind and will definitely seek more benefits for the villagers in the future."
Bai Ling was wearing a red fox fur cloak tonight. Under the light of the bonfire, his whole body became much brighter, as white as a porcelain doll.
"Don't talk nonsense. Let's eat and drink a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat tonight. Don't be afraid of getting drunk. Our Nanshan Village is hospitable and there are plenty of warm kangs for the big guys. There will be some little games later. Don't worry.
I felt embarrassed, so I just let go and participated. Winners will get prizes, and losers will also get participation prizes..."
After briefly introducing tonight's activities, Bai Ling announced that the bonfire party had officially begun.
Because there is a big fire in the middle and small fires on the outside, people will not feel cold even if it is in the open air.
Especially after eating wine and meat, everyone feels warm and cozy.
Bai Ling and others took off their cloaks and wore cotton skirts to join the crowd.
The game sessions designed by Bai Ling include truth or dare, odd and even guessing games, and drinking games. They are all simple and can be played by everyone.
At first, everyone was a little nervous, but Liu Xudong came to liven up the atmosphere and took the lead in participating. Everyone saw that no matter whether they won or lost, they really had a chance to win, so they all signed up, fearing that they would get nothing.
"Your Majesty, which part of the game do you want to participate in?" Qiqiao, as the temporary emcee, asked as he looked at Shangguan Yu who was drawn.
Because everyone wanted to sign up, for the sake of fairness, a lottery was adopted.
The wooden cards have been prepared long ago, and a lot is placed in the lot tube. Everyone holds a lot in their hand. If they draw the same number, they can come out to participate.
"Truth or dare." Shangguan Yu looked at Bai Ling and said.
"Okay, then the prince can choose someone to ask you questions." Qiqiao said.
"What do you want to ask Ling'er?" Shangguan Yu said gently, which was completely different from the cold face he gave to others.
Under the gaze of everyone, Shangguan Yu's posture made Bai Ling feel a little uncomfortable.
"In this life, if you marry me, can you guarantee that there will be no other women?" Bai Ling asked after thinking for a while.
Bai Ling's question made many people gasp.
Although the practice of taking concubines is not popular in the countryside, as Shangguan Yu is the heir apparent, he should have three wives and four concubines.
Even the landlord's house has several rooms for concubines, right?
But then I thought that Bai Ling was not an ordinary woman. The Bai family had also said that as long as their daughter would not be wronged, she could marry a poor family and even marry several of her daughters, so she felt relieved.
As a result, pairs of shocked eyes turned into expectant ones, wondering how Shangguan Yu would answer.
Although the Han Palace and the Zixiao Army are as existing as the Tu Emperor in the hearts of the people in the North, they are worthy of respect and must be respected.
But Bai Ling is a fairy, a god in the hearts of everyone, how can the emperor on earth compare to her?
What's more, Shangguan Yu is not the emperor yet.
"In this life, only Ling'er is enough. If you violate this oath, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and you will never be reincarnated!" Shangguan Yu swore so fast that Bai Ling couldn't even stop him if he wanted to.
"If you really betray me, I don't want you to die a good death. I hope you can live a long life and suffer every year." Bai Ling said loudly.
Even if he was truly betrayed by Shangguan Yu, Bai Ling didn't want him to die, get sick or become a prisoner.
But Bai Ling is not a god who can save all sentient beings. He cannot wish others good luck in his life after being let down.
"Okay, just follow what Ling'er said." Shangguan Yu said fondly with a faint smile.
Qin Xuerou came forward in a disgraceful manner and said to Shangguan Yu: "Actually, what Ling'er wants to ask more is not what will happen to you in the future, but whether you have liked other women before." (To be continued)
