“The rest of you can enter the army of the prince’s mansion and become ordinary soldiers.” Li Xiao continued.
The Nangong Army carried too many things and sacrificed too many.
Even if he couldn’t get all the soldiers to withdraw smoothly and free them, he had given them freedom.
As soon as he said this, the Nangong Army started discussing again.
Soon, someone advised.
However, Li Xiao only waved his hand and said, “I’ve made up my mind.”
After that, Li Xiao did not say anything else and asked Head Fang to order the banquet to begin.
Just like that, the happy New Year banquet began.
Prince Anyang observed Li Xiao for a while and also spoke to persuade Li Xiao to stay.
He said that he would restore the Nangong Clan’s glory.
However, Li Xiao still had a firm look on his face, saying that he would not change his mind.
In this regard, Prince Anyang was actually more at ease.
The New Year banquet lasted for half a day. During this time, soldiers came to the hall to pay their respects to Li Xiao and the others.
Li Xiao almost fainted from the alcohol.
It was only when the sky was getting dark that the group set off to return to Daishi Village.
Returning to Daishi Village, Lin Xiaoyue knew that the Princess of Anyang, Zhou Shi and Hei Gang had already arrived.
The first time Lin Xiaoyue met the Princess of Anyang, she realized that the Princess looked a little like Liang Yu. Her personality was very gentle and she actually hit it off with her mother and sister-in-law.
Lin Xiaoyue soon fell in love with this princess who did not put on airs.
Therefore, after the New Year’s Eve dinner, Lin Xiaoyue took out the mahjong set that she had asked the carpenter to make.
He brought his mother, sister-in-law, and Princess of Anyang to play mahjong.
Sitting on the heated brick bed and playing mahjong, the four women quickly immersed themselves in it.
It even attracted the attention of Prince Anyang, Liang Yu, and Hei Gang, who were playing Fight the Landlord outside.
The three of them understood the way to play mahjong. One by one, they actually felt a little itchy when they saw mahjong.
After that, Prince Anyang and Hei Gang each played mahjong with their wives.
“Give your brother a set of poker cards and mahjong!” Hei Gang just threw away a card and suddenly said to Lin Xiaoyue.
How interesting. The day after tomorrow, he would go back to his parents’ home with his wife. If he could bring these with him, he would not have to worry about being bored at his father-in-law’s house.
His wife could play mahjong with his sisters-in-law.
He could play poker with his father-in-law and brothers-in-law.
When Prince Anyang and Liang Yu heard this, they immediately looked at Lin Xiaoyue with anticipation.
They wanted it too.
“This mahjong is indeed interesting. If Yue’er has more, can you give me a set?” Princess Anyang asked.
Prince Anyang immediately looked at his princess consort with admiration.
Princess Anyang couldn’t help but smile.
She wasn’t asking for His Highness.
She wanted to bring a set of mahjong back so that she could play mahjong with the maids or officials in the future.
Mahjong was much more interesting than embroidery.
When Liang Yu saw his sister speak, her expression instantly became a little anxious.
He also wanted to ask Lin Xiaoyue for it, but he was too embarrassed to say it.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“Of course. Aren’t you only leaving the day after tomorrow? Tomorrow, I’ll ask Shanshan to make a trip to Uncle Sun and make two more sets of mahjong. It will be ready in time!”
“As for the poker cards.” Lin Xiaoyue looked at Hei Gang again.
“My deck of cards is made of a special material.”
Hei Gang and the others were disappointed.
“However, if we choose quality paper on the market and process it carefully, we should be able to make good quality cards. Since we have nothing to do tomorrow, we might as well give it a try.”
When everyone heard this, they instantly felt enlightened.
“Tomorrow, I will send someone to town to buy all kinds of paper.”
“We must make the poker cards!” Hei Gang said with interest.
Liang Yu’s expression changed slightly.
“Count me in.”
Prince Anyang glanced at Liang Yu.
“Me too.”
This caused Princess Anyang to burst out laughing.
Princess Anyang, Lin Xiaoyue and the others couldn’t hold it in and laughed.
Prince Anyang was not angry. Instead, he was even more amiable than before.
He thought that he would not be used to living in Daishi Village.
He was even prepared to endure for a few days.
However, he did not expect that not only did he not find this trip boring, he even found it very interesting.
This year’s New Year was even livelier and warmer than the New Year he had spent in the capital.
It was just a pity that his mother could not come with him.
Otherwise, based on his mother’s personality, she would definitely like Liu Shi and the Lin family.
She would definitely like playing mahjong too..
