At that moment, not only Yan Xiaoxia, but even the slow-witted Yan Xiaoling realized that they shouldn't be staying here.
"You guys stay here with your aunt and have fun. I'm going to go and have some horse racing with some brothers. You can have dinner here tonight, and then I'll have my brothers take you back."
Yan Gui instructed a few nieces and turned to leave the greenhouse.
If he and Wei Yang stayed inside, he wouldn't feel bored for a whole day. But he felt that it would be more comfortable to go out and race horses than to stay with a group of nieces.
Weiyang and Yan Xiaoxia were playing chess, while the other three Yan family girls were arranging flower pots in the greenhouse, checking whether to loosen the soil, and wiping the non-existent dust on the leaves with a clean fine cloth.
"Aunt, can you ride a horse?"
Yan Xiaoling asked as she squatted in front of Yan Xiaoxia and Weiyang, holding her cheeks.
"No, I've never ridden one." Wei Yang held a white piece between her fingers, put it down casually, turned around and replied in a gentle voice.
The daughters of the Yan family can ride horses. To be exact, there is no daughter of a family in Yanzhou who can't ride horses. Not only can they ride horses, but they also dare to pick up knives and kill people when the enemy comes.
Yan Xiaoling was disappointed to hear that Weiyang couldn't ride a horse, but she soon became excited.
Because Wei Yang said, "When spring comes, I can learn from you, okay?"
"Okay." Yan Xiaoling nodded excitedly.
Teaching this little aunt who is younger than me to ride a horse is a very good thing. There are many fine horses in the stable of the general's mansion. When the time comes, I will take them out for a walk. My uncle will definitely not object.
Yan Xiaoling had such a beautiful thought, but she didn't know that Yan Gui would never let them teach Wei Yang how to ride a horse. He was not confident in their skills, so of course it would be best if he taught them himself.
The time girls spend together is always wonderful. They play chess, talk, draw patterns on flowers, and when it is time to cook, they run to the kitchen and each cook a specialty dish.
For a daughter who is about to get married, no matter where she is from, being able to cook is the most basic thing.
Weiyang made stewed fish.
The fish in Yanzhou are particularly delicious in winter. It is freezing cold and it takes more than an ordinary family to get fish.
It took nearly an hour to prepare one dish. One dish was brought to the hall for Yan Gui and his friends to taste, and the other was for Wei Yang and his five companions to enjoy.
"Auntie, this fish is really good, can you teach me?"
Yan Xiaoling ate and praised the food, saying whatever came to her mind.
Yan Xiaoxia did not stop her, as she wanted to learn. There were fewer fish in winter, but more in spring. She was also a new daughter-in-law, so it was always good to have more specialties.
Although, she doesn't need to cook to please her parents-in-law.
Girls in the capital would not say such things. In the capital, if a girl could cook a few homemade dishes, it would be a matter of face when she went to her husband's house.
"Okay, I know a lot of Beijing dishes, and I'll teach you when the time comes." Wei Yang stretched out her chopsticks and pointed at the vinegar-braised cabbage made by Yan Xiaoxia: "This is also delicious, and it's not available in Beijing. You can teach me when the time comes."
Cabbage with vinegar is the simplest dish in Yanzhou, and Yan Xiaoxia is also a master at it. The reason she made this dish today is because her newlywed husband praised her for making it the best.
"That's not difficult. We can all do it." Yan Xiaoling replied quickly after swallowing the fish in her mouth.
Wei Yang looked at the four Yan family girls in front of her, smiled gently at Yan Xiaoling and said, "Then let's learn from each other. You teach me how to ride a horse, and I'll teach you how to cook."
"We can also teach you Kung Fu." The youngest daughter of Yan Lei said seriously.
