Mid-April is the Green Picking Festival.

The mountain flowers are blooming, the fallen flowers are colorful, the peach blossom forest is full of peach blossoms, and the pink mist permeates the whole peach blossom forest, just like a fairyland.

I don’t know if the Peach Blossom Fairy has appeared in the past two years. The scope of the Peach Blossom Forest has obviously expanded several times, and the peach trees have gradually spread along the edge of the Peach Blossom Forest toward the deep mountains and old forests in the east and south.

The peach trees and peach blossoms in the peach blossom forest also feel more and more fairy-like. Even the mountain people who eat ordinary peach fruits in the peach blossom forest feel that their bodies are healthier.

The more this is the case, the more people come to the Peach Blossom Temple to offer incense and pray. It doesn’t matter whether it is effective or not, as long as the intention is in place. Anyway, the incense in the Peach Blossom Temple is not expensive. Wait until the prayer is fulfilled. I hope it's not too late to come again.

In the northeast corner of the peach forest, there is a place shrouded in a mystery formation and a blinding method, which can only be hidden from the eyes of ordinary mortals...

The weeds are soft and lush, The peach trees are in various shapes, and the peach blossoms are swaying in the wind.

There are mountain shadows in the distance and gurgling water nearby.

In the peach grove, by the stream, there are round tables and round stools in pavilions, stone tables and benches under the peach trees, and tables and futons scattered on the grass.

The overall scope is not large, but the layout is well-proportioned and in line with nature.

On the table or counter, wooden plates and porcelain bottles are placed.

Various fruits are placed on wooden trays, all of which are apples, oranges, bananas, cherries, strawberries, watermelons, grapes and other fresh fruits.

In the porcelain bottle are Huadiao, green plum wine, wine and other low-alcohol rice wine or fruit wine, which can make people slightly tipsy, but difficult to get drunk.

In addition to fruits and drinks, there are also several pairs of mahjong and Go for guests' entertainment. Not far away, there are also musical instruments such as Yaoqin, Dongxiao and Pipa, as well as rice paper and long tables. , brush, ink and paint.

“Brother Lu, you are so well prepared, it’s to my liking!”

“The environment is also comfortable, I feel like this party is better than my father’s gathering of the Aquatic Tribe. It’s much more fun to drink, listen to music and watch dancing together!”

The first to arrive were Zhu Yushan and Li Hanyu. When they came to Peach Blossom Manor, they were attracted to the venue by a peach blossom goddess, and they saw Shen Ying While playing chess with Liu Qingyan, Lu Zheng was sitting on the side of the stone table, serving tea to Shen Ying and fruit to Liu Qingyan, looking quite comfortable.

On the other hand, Liu Qingquan, accompanied by Xiao Cui, was playing checkers that Lu Zhengxin had brought out. The two of them were playing the game and had a great time.

"Hello brother! Hello sister-in-law!"

Shen YingStopping with Liu Qingyan, Lu Zheng and the two women stood up to greet the guests and welcomed them to a stone table under the tree.

"It's very good. Yushan has recently started studying in seclusion again. We haven't come out for a long time. This time, Brother Lu invited him, so I brought him over to the banquet to relax." Li Hanyu said.

Lu Zheng blinked, nodded, and said to Zhu Yushan, "Brother Zhu, you still have to combine work and rest when studying. Studying in seclusion is good for the body..."

Zhu Yushan Nodding, "I know, but it's just that the exam is coming soon, so I'll take the time to review it again to avoid any omissions during the exam."

"Ah, yes, yes!" Lu Zheng nodded seriously, then took an orange from the wooden plate and handed it to Zhu Yushan, "Brother Zhu, please try a sweet orange, it tastes good."

"Thank you." Zhu Yushan took it. Then he peeled the orange and put it into his mouth. Then with a trembling hand, he pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Zheng, "This is the latest policy I just wrote. Brother Lu, take a look at it and help me correct it." "

Lu Zheng, "..."

God knows if you can make it to the exam this year, what's the point of this policy paper?

However, this cannot be said. Lu Zheng stayed in the Jing Dynasty for more than three years. Not only was he able to take exams in Confucianism, he was also able to talk to ordinary people.

Therefore, Lu Zheng can completely handle Zhu Yushan’s request.

So Lu Zheng took over the strategy, went through it for a while, and then started a perhaps meaningless discussion with Zhu Yushan.

After the discussion was over, the five girls from Wuxiuzhuang Huayixing also arrived.

"Master Lu! Congratulations, Master!"

"I've met Sister Li! Hello, Miss Shen! Qingyan, we're late!"

/>When the five girls arrived, they first confessed, and then Yu Mingxin fluttered her sleeves, and dozens of birds of various colors flew out from her sleeves, then either circled and danced in the air, or landed on the branches to rest. Scattered chirping and crisp bird calls make the peach forest more vibrant.

Another bird flew onto Liu Qingquan’s shoulder, tilting its head and looking at the chessboard, wondering what it was looking at.

As expected of the oriole, it not only has a unique singing voice, but also has the ability to control birds.

Lin Jing'er and Hu Cainiang took down the bamboo baskets behind them and opened them, then waved them casually. Hundreds of colorful wildflowers flew out of the baskets, and then fell everywhere on the ground, taking root in the soil. The venue is even more beautiful.

“You guys are so thoughtful!”

Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan laughed heartily, and thenThen he invited the five girls to sit down together.

Hua Yixing, the girls, and Zhu Yushan and his wife had met before, so they said hello. After finding that there were enough people, they immediately gathered a table of mahjong.

Li Hanyu, Hua Yixing, Lin Jinger and Hu Cainiang, let the fight begin!

The women played cards and the men walked away. As for Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan, as hosts, they still had to welcome guests.

Yu Mingxin and Bai Ting'er's IQs were not enough to support them in going to the table to fight, so they soon saw the checkers played by Liu Qingquan and Xiao Cui.

"What is this?" Bai Ting'er asked curiously.

"This is checkers!" Liu Qingquan, who was thinking hard, saw Bai Ting'er asking, and then turned her eyes, "Come on, let's play together. This checkers can also be played by four people."

　“Really?” Yu Mingxin interrupted, then looked at the chessboard, “Could it be possible that up to six people can play together?”

　“Exactly, two people can play together. There are too few changes, let’s go together, the four of us!”

After Liu Qingquan finished speaking, he took Yu Mingxin and Bai Ting’er to sit down, and then rearranged the chessboard.

Xiao Cui said angrily, "You little clever guy, I'm almost winning!"

"Where!" Liu Qingquan argued, "The situation is unclear. The chess pieces are still messed up, how can we tell the winner?"

Xiao Cui curled her lips helplessly, but it was not easy to argue with a child, and most importantly, the identity of the person in front of her belonged to the master's husband. Sister-in-law!

So he pulled Yu Mingxin and Bai Ting'er to sit down on both sides. Xiaocui took out the blue and yellow wooden beads from the chess box and placed them in the corresponding positions one by one. , and then began to explain the rules of checkers to the two women.

The rules of checkers should not be too simple. It is probably slightly more difficult than backgammon, so Yu Mingxin and Bai Ting'er learned it quickly, and then started playing four games with Liu Qingquan and Xiao Cui with great interest. NPC melee.
