"Sister, give me a hug!"

Zhang Daotang, who squeezed to the front first, opened his arms and hugged Qiuyue. Qiuyue was stunned and subconsciously hugged him. The children around her suddenly quieted down and then started to make a fuss: "Ah, sister, I want a hug too!" "I want one too, I want one too!" "I'll go first, don't squeeze me!" "Who stepped on my foot!"

Qiuyue was immediately numb, and quickly comforted them: "Okay, okay, be good, sister will hug you one by one, ah, don't squeeze, be obedient."

After receiving the response that they would all get hugs, the children who were a little restless at first calmed down immediately. They looked at Qiuyue with sparkling eyes, which softened her heart. She coaxed softly, "Sister knows that you are all good children. If you want a hug, sister will give it to you. But you are not allowed to quarrel, understand?"

"I know~"

Qiuyue was responded with a chorus of shouts. She immediately frowned, stretched out her hands and hugged Zhang Daotang back, then hugged them one by one, trying to treat them all equally.

After receiving the gentle and soft embrace, each child's face was more or less filled with joy. Zhang Shouxu, who was watching from the side, looked gloomy, and once again remembered what the patriarch had said before, and suddenly felt danger in his heart.

This is not a good thing for these little brats. Although they seem to be just children vying for favor now, it may not be the same when they grow up. Aling is so lovable, he doesn't believe that any of these little brats will not fall in love with her when they grow up.

It seems like it's time to find a solution.

After hugging each of the children, Qiuyue directed them to take all the blankets and place them on the ground. Yesterday, before the children left, Qiuyue asked them to stack all the blankets neatly against the wall, so that every time they came, they could just take one to sit on, which was very convenient and labor-saving.

"Sister, I've finished carving the chariot chess piece. Take a look!"

Zhang Zhenchu ​​came up to Qiuyue holding the chessboard he had carved. Qiuyue subconsciously followed his words and looked at the chessboard in his hand. She found that it was almost as good as one carved by a machine. The grid lines on it were standard, straight and clean, and the distinguishing squares were specially colored. The corresponding chess pieces were also colored. Qiuyue couldn't help but praise it, "Wow, Zhenchu ​​did a great job. The carving is so accurate, and the grids are also colored. It's amazing."

"Hey, thank you sister."

Zhang Zhenchu's face flushed when he was praised. Zhang Zhenxian, who was standing next to him, was disgusted by his shy look and almost rolled his eyes. He took out the playing cards he made and showed them to Qiuyue as if they were treasures: "Sister, look at mine. These are the playing cards I carved~"

Qiuyue turned around and saw that the cards he made were on par with Zhang Shouxu's. She praised him, "Zhenxian is also very good. The cards he makes are all very beautiful."

"And mine and mine~"

"Sister, look at mine!"

"My mine!"

After praising the two of them, the other children immediately took out their own carvings. Qiuyue had no choice but to look at them one by one and praise them one by one. After praising them all, Qiuyue felt like she was about to sweat. She had to hold more than forty children evenly, which was really a matter of life and death for her.

Seeing them all making their chess and card games, Qiuyue suddenly had an idea and said excitedly, "Hey, since you all have made your chess and card games, why don't you have a competition? If you win, I'll give you some small prizes, how about that?"

Contest? Prizes?!

In an instant, all the children's eyes lit up and they nodded in agreement: "Okay! I want to participate!" "Me too! I want first place!" "First place will definitely be mine!" "Sister's prize will definitely belong to me!"

Qiuyue thought for a moment and said, "Well, you have quite a few people. How about this? We'll calculate based on points. First, we'll split into two teams and play each other. After the game, the team with more points will split into two teams to continue playing. The losing team will also split into two teams for a rematch. The winner of the rematch will join the two teams again. Repeat this process until the top five are determined. How do you think?"

The children looked at each other in confusion. Zhang Zhenyi quickly reacted and said, "Sure, sister, but how are the points calculated? Landlords is a three-player game, and Chariot Chess is a four-player game."

Qiuyue blinked and said, "Dou Dizhu has two camps, and Chariot Chess can also have two camps. If the landlord wins, he earns three points, and if the two peasants win, they earn two points together. Chariot Chess depends on which side moves all the pieces first. The winning camp gets fifteen points. Because Chariot Chess takes a long time, when playing a round of Chariot Chess, the team playing Dou Dizhu can play five rounds of Dou Dizhu. That way, the scores can keep up. How about this?"

"I think it's okay."

"I think that's fine too."

"How are we going to divide the teams, sister? Are we going to do it ourselves?"

Zhang Zhenyi's question immediately silenced the children. A hint of strangeness and ruthlessness flashed in their eyes. Qiuyue said without hesitation, "Yes, you can divide it among yourselves. However, since there are forty-seven of you, one side will have an extra person. I thought we should have one of you act as a referee. That way, the two sides will be evenly divided."

"In that case, I'll be the referee, okay, sister?"

Zhang Zhenyi looked at Qiuyue with a smile, but before Qiuyue could respond, someone beside him immediately spoke up: "Why don't you let me do it, sister? I can also be the referee."

The one who spoke was Zhang Shougui. When Zhang Zhenyi turned to look at him, Zhang Shougui's eyes were full of provocation. Qiuyue saw that both of them wanted to be the referee, so she said, "Don't argue. Zhenyi signed up first, so let him do it."

"Thank you sister~"

Zhang Zhenyi smiled extraordinarily sweetly. Seeing this, Zhang Shougui simply lowered his eyes and replied obediently, "Okay, sister, then let him be the boss."

Because the children were going to compete, Qiuyue picked up Cotton Pudding and left the middle position for them to play. Although the children were a little disappointed about this, they were more eager to fight. When Qiuyue walked to the edge, she was surprised to find that they had spontaneously divided into two rows without even discussing it. The number of people was just right, half on each side. The two sides stood facing each other, and there seemed to be faint lightning crackling in the middle of their gaze. Even Qiuyue, who was usually a little slow, could feel their fighting spirit.

"It's just a game competition, but the kids are so enthusiastic about it?"

Qiuyue muttered in surprise. Zhang Shouxu, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly. Apart from the children, he was the only one in the hall who knew why they were so eager to fight.

The forty-six children were divided into four rows, with six groups playing Landlord and seven groups playing Chariot Chess, making a total of forty-six people. Zhang Zhenyi stood among them with a small notebook. After he gave an order, the originally quiet hall suddenly became lively.

Seeing the children having fun, Qiuyue nodded with satisfaction. She turned to Zhang Shouxu beside her and whispered, "Shouxu, tell me what kind of reward I should prepare for them later."

Zhang Shouxu paused for a moment and said, "A Ling, I don't know what you have, but children definitely don't like things like gold, silver, and jewelry. They have no interest in these things."

Listen, listen! What a Versailles statement! You have no interest in gold, silver, or jewelry!

Only someone from this wealthy (tomb-robbing) family could say such a thing!

Qiuyue pondered over what she had said and began to think about what gift she could give.

Since you don’t like gold, silver and jewelry, what can she give you?

All the things in her space were gifts from the men in her family, and she definitely couldn't give this to them. Apart from that, there were only the talismans she had drawn herself, but she would give those talismans to them sooner or later. It was really inappropriate to use them as prizes. It would make no difference whether she gave them or not.

Qiuyue's eyes fell on the children who were playing the game enthusiastically. Suddenly, she thought of something, her eyes lit up instantly, and she said softly, "Oh, I know what prizes to make."

Hearing this, Zhang Shouxu looked at Qiuyue curiously. The cotton pudding in Qiuyue's arms also looked up at her. They also wanted to know what kind of prize their sister would give.

"Shou Xu, come here, help watch the cotton pudding while I see if I can make it."

Qiuyue handed the two little ones in her arms to Zhang Shouxu. Zhang Shouxu quickly reached out to take them, whispered "OK", and then watched Qiuyue walk towards his palace.

Qiuyue's departure caused the children's attention to be diverted for a moment, but they soon looked back at their own chessboards. When they looked at the people opposite them, their eyes were filled with strong disgust and rejection. The chess pieces in their hands were like weapons in their hands, and they attacked the chess pieces of the enemy camp without hesitation. It was only because Qiuyue didn't come over to look, otherwise she would have been shocked to find that they were stepping on each other's chess pieces so much.

Qiuyue left and came back soon after. When she came back, her face was full of smiles, which showed that she had already thought of what kind of prize to make. When Qiuyue came back, Zhang Shouxu, who was holding the cotton pudding, couldn't help but lean over and whispered in Qiuyue's ear: "Sister, what kind of prize did you make?"

The hot breath came with a silent sound, and Qiuyue's ears suddenly felt hot, and her face flushed slightly. She subconsciously tilted her head to the other side and whispered, "Don't ask, I'll take it out after the children's game is over."

Zhang Shouxu didn't really want to know what the prize was. He just wanted to see Qiuyue's shy look again, especially to take the opportunity to smell that charming and fragrant aroma. Zhang Shouxu felt even happier when both parties were satisfied. He narrowed his eyes slightly, responded in a low voice with satisfaction, and then stood up again to continue watching with Qiuyue.
