Chapter 255 Picnic
When Song Sanniang was busy in the kitchen, Song Ersao, Si Niang and Wu Niang also came in to help. Strength lies in numbers.
After a short while, everything was prepared, Xiao Jinzi also brought Master Hu over, and then everyone set off.
The He family had one carriage, and the Song family had another. The He family's horseman drove the He family's carriage, and the Song family's carriage was driven by Xiao Jinzi.
Song Sanniang, He Pingdu, Master Hu, and Song Xiaodi took the carriage of the He Mansion.
The fourth and fifth mothers, as well as the brother and sister Niu Qianqian, rode in the Song family's carriage.
People in love look at each other with smiles in their eyes.
Although He Pingdu and Song Sanniang were not sitting next to each other, the look they gave each other from time to time still made Master Hu see something fishy.
Master Hu coughed calmly, and Song immediately showed concern for him like a grown-up.
"Master, why are you coughing? Are you sick?" His big round eyes were full of genuine concern. He was held on Song Sanniang's lap.
Master Hu smiled and touched his head. "Master, I am not sick. Master, I am just clearing my throat."
After saying that, she looked at the two people who couldn't hide it with an expression that said, "You two are too obvious."
Song Sanniang was caught by her teacher dating, and she was still very embarrassed. Her face was red.
He Pingdu was very calm. He smiled and asked Song Xiaodi, "Qinian, do you like your brother?"
Song Xiaodi nodded immediately, He Pingdu smiled with satisfaction, and then asked with a smile, "Then how about I be your brother-in-law?"
Song Xiaodi asked curiously, "What is a brother-in-law?"
Song Sanniang didn't expect that he would dare to ask such a question in front of the teacher and his brother. She glared at him.
He Pingdu smiled, and Master Hu said, "You kid, you don't take me seriously, do you?"
He Pingdu smiled and said, "I dare not, I dare not. Sooner or later everyone will know about this. I just want to let you know in advance.
I hope the teacher will say a few good words for me when the time comes. I am still waiting to marry Jixiang home." After saying this, he looked at Song Sanniang with a smiling look.
Song Sanniang wanted to put Song Xiaodi down and pinch him a few times for letting him speak so freely.
Master Hu looked at Song Sanniang's angry expression and said with a smile, "I can't let you marry my student so easily."
Several people were chatting and laughing in the carriage, and soon they arrived at the destination. Si Niang and the others got off the carriage. They had all changed a lot since they grew up.
Except for Si Niang who was still rather naughty, Wu Niang and Niu Qianqian had changed their expressions and looked like quiet ladies from wealthy families.
Niu Zhuangzhuang used to be chubby, but now he is taller than before, but much thinner, looking like a young boy, and he doesn’t have two slugs hanging from his nose all day long. However, he is still as lively as before.
The place where we are going to have a picnic today is the famous Chui Liu Lake in Xiantao Prefecture. It is a very large lake with willow trees planted all along the shore.
As a scenic spot in the prefecture, there are several pavilions built by the lake for tourists to rest and cool off. Many people usually sit on the grass by the lake to enjoy the lake view, and today is no exception.
Today the sky is blue and the clouds are white, and the autumn breeze is refreshing. Some adults bring their children here to play, some women gather together, and some scholars hold a literary gathering on the grass. The lakeside is very lively.
Song Sanniang and her group found a corner, spread out the blankets they were going to sit on, and laid out the food and drinks they had brought. The atmosphere was immediately created.
The food prepared today includes simple sushi, with sushi of different flavors neatly arranged in the food box.
There are also several kinds of cut fruits, colorful and very tempting.
There are also self-service sweet soups, cold chicken feet, cold lotus root slices, and fried skewers prepared according to everyone's taste.
Song Xiaodi was drooling when he saw the food on display. He looked at it with eager eyes, which made everyone laugh.
Song Sanniang told him to eat less fried skewers and he could eat as much as he wanted of the rest. He was very happy when he heard that and immediately started to eat with relish.
Song Sanniang and her group were well prepared, which made some people around them jealous.
Many of them came out to simply buy some cakes or sesame cakes, and they would not prepare so many things like Song Sanniang and the others.
Xiao Jinzi also sent food to the coachman and originally asked him to come and sit by the lake with them, but he refused. So, they let him do it. The other coachmen, who were the young masters and young ladies of wealthy families, were very envious of him because he ate so well.
Since we were out for fun, we couldn't just focus on eating. We also brought kites, chess boards, and cards.
After everyone had something to eat, they started playing games. Song didn't know how to play these games, so Xiao Jinzi took him to fly a kite.
The fourth and fifth mothers were playing cards, while Master Hu and He Pingdu were playing chess. Song Sanniang was watching them play chess. After all, she was just an beginner.
He Pingdu was playing chess when he asked Song Sanniang, "Do you want to play a game? Will you be bored?" In short, he was afraid that she would be bored alone.
Song Sanniang didn't feel bored, but Si Niang and the others finally noticed something was wrong with the two.
Si Niang and Wu Niang were Song San Niang's sisters after all. They looked at He Pingdu who was overly concerned about their sister.
He Pingdu noticed their looks and smiled and nodded at them.
Soon, the three women started to talk to each other, which confused Niu Zhuangzhuang. He sat next to He Pingdu and watched him play chess with Master Hu.
Niu Zhuangzhuang is no longer taking classes with Master Hu. He is now taking classes with Qin Haoxi's former teacher. Niu Laosan hopes that he can work hard to pass the exam and become a student. He has a quick mind and there is still hope for him.
Master Hu played a few games of chess with He Pingdu. He kept looking at Song Sanniang from time to time. She couldn't bear to watch him so absent-mindedly.
"Go, go, go, the two of you go play, don't get in my way here, Xiao Zhuang and I are playing chess."
He Pingdu was waiting for a chance to be with the little girl. He tactfully thanked Master Hu, and then walked side by side with Song Sanniang by the lake.
Today, he finally got the time he had been waiting for for the two of them to be alone, but there were too many people, so he couldn't even hold hands.
"I'm going to my sister's place in a couple of days. My nephew is getting married, so I have to go there and give gifts to my family." He Pingdu said.
"How long will it take?" Song Sanniang asked.
"It will take at least ten days." He Pingdu was reluctant to part with the little girl.
The two have been together in recent days. Song Sanniang feels reluctant to separate them, but she can only ask him to be careful on the road and come back early.
