My humble days in ancient times

The woman paid twenty coins and took the ten rings and gave them to her child.

She was a little girl of seven or eight years old, very shy, and her movements when throwing the ring were weak.

More and more people gathered around, and everyone was watching the excitement with great interest.

The little girl missed the first loop, and the second loop also missed. The little girl's mother took two more and threw the first one, and it caught a handkerchief. People immediately cheered. But the second one didn't catch it either.

Xu Ruyi took out a handkerchief and handed it to the child's mother.

The little girl quickly threw all the hoops in her hand.

The girl's mother wanted to pull her away, but she just didn't want to leave.

With the little girl taking the lead, people started playing one after another.

Every time one was trapped, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Yuanbao was strolling leisurely in the street with his young master. Seeing a lot of people in the distance, he said, "Young master, let's go over there and take a look."

The person Yuanbao called "young master" was Yun Muqing. Yun Muqing saw that there were quite a few people watching in front of him, so he said, "Let's go and see if there's anything interesting going on."

The two soon arrived at Xu Ruyi's stall.

Yuanbao thought: This girl is the one who sells egg pancakes and rice balls. Why is she here with such new things today? Oh, wasn’t she the one who played the music in the music shop that day?

Yun Muqing thought, "What's this new way to play?" All he saw was people throwing hoops at things. Looking up, he saw a girl about ten years old, wearing a grass-colored dress with floral patterns, standing not far from him. Her eyes were smiling sweetly, and a golden hairpin with a peach blossom pattern adorned her hair.

Yun Muqing suddenly remembered that she was the girl who played the music in the music shop that day. She was so stunning that day, and he didn't expect to meet her here.

Xu Ruyi also recognized them.

Yun Muqing said, "Miss, how do you play this? Let me try it."

Xu Ruyi walked over and said with a smile: "Ten and twenty cents, whatever you get is yours." After that, she carefully counted out ten circles to him.

Yun Muqing glanced at Yuanbao, and Yuanbao tactfully took out twenty coins and gave them to Xu Ruyi.

After Xu Ruyi took the twenty copper coins, he sat on the stool as if nothing had happened.

Yun Muqing looked at the things on the ground. Most of them were used by girls. So he simply chose to throw porcelain bottles and copper coins.

Next to Xu Ruyi's stool was a fifty-cent copper coin and a porcelain bottle.

Yun Muqing threw the ball several times but missed. He couldn't help but sigh, "It looked so easy, but I didn't expect it to be so hard to hit. It's even harder than archery."

Yun Muqing is also a stubborn person, and his target is porcelain bottles and copper coins.

He threw a ring and it actually landed on Xu Ruyi's neck.

Everyone laughed, but the laughter was not loud.

Xu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, but didn't care.

Yun Muqing threw another one, and it landed on Xu Ruyi's neck again.

Xu Ruyi was just about to take off the ring around her neck, but just as her hand touched the ring, a third one was put on.

Xu Ruyi was completely confused: Is this a scam or a scam? Can you be more professional?

Yun Muqing was also confused: He was clearly trying to catch something on the ground, but why did he end up catching someone?

Yuanbao couldn't help laughing out loud.

The onlookers burst into laughter, and they all thought it was very funny.

An old man joked, "Staght owner, I caught someone, will you give it to me?"

Then everyone burst into laughter again.

Xu Ruyi felt bored and said, "Things are just dead objects, but people are living treasures. As for me, that's a priceless treasure. Of course I won't give it to you."

Yun Muqing asked Yuanbao to pay another twenty coins, and after trying for a long time, he only got a hairpin.

Xu Ruyi handed him the hairpin: "It's yours, keep it."

Yun Muqing looked at the hairpin and shook his head. "It's crudely made and not worth anything. What good can I do with it?"

Coincidentally, Fang Zhimo came over at this time.

Fang Zhimo recognized Xu Ruyi and Yun Muqing at a glance and was in a good mood.

Fang Zhimo walked over with a smile and said, "Miss, we meet again."

Xu Ruyi smiled and said, "Yeah, I can only lament that the county town is too small." After that, Xu Ruyi shook the ring in her hand and said, "Would you like to play a few rounds? It's very fun."

Fang Zhimo raised the corner of his mouth: "Great! It's a good time to relax."

Fang Zhimo took out forty copper coins from his purse, and Xu Ruyi took them and gave him the ring.

Xu Ruyi was still sitting on the stool.

Fang Zhimo's target was also the porcelain vase and the copper coin. A circle suddenly wrapped around Xu Ruyi's feet. Xu Ruyi stretched her legs straight and placed one foot on top of the other.

Fang Zhimo threw another ring, which unexpectedly landed on Xu Ruyi's two feet again.

Before everyone could react, Fang Zhimo threw another ring, still putting it on Xu Ruyi's feet.

Everyone burst into laughter, especially those who had just seen Yun Muqing put a noose around Xu Ruyi's neck.

Xu Ruyi was helpless: Just now they were putting the collar around my neck, and now they are putting the collar around my feet. Should I not be sitting here, or should I sit further away?

Xu Ruyi took the circle on her feet in her hand and moved the stool to the side.

Fang Zhimo said with a smile: "Sorry to bother you."

Fang Zhimo tried for a long time and finally put on a bracelet.

Xu Ruyi handed it to him and said, "Put it away."

Fang Zhimo looked at it and realized that there was no use for him to have the bracelet. So he said to Xu Ruyi, "It's useless for me to have it, so why not give it to you?"

Xu Ruyi took it, and Fang Zhimo walked over and started chatting with Xu Qinghe.

Xu Ruyi was confused: They didn’t know each other, what could they say?

Who knew Yun Muqing also came over and said: "This hairpin is useless to me, so give it to the young lady!"

Xu Ruyi thought that it was useless to ask for such a worthless thing, but she couldn't say that out loud. She smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

Yun Muqing smiled and asked, "Did you come up with this?"

Yun Muqing, dressed in white, looked like a person walking out of a painting. She had a beautiful face, a soft and pleasant voice, and her eyes curved when she smiled, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

Xu Ruyi thought of a compliment: The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world.

Xu Ruyi smiled and said, "Yes, I was just kidding." Looking at Yun Muqing's stunning appearance, she wondered how a man could grow up like this. If he was like this at such a young age, what would he be like when he grew up?

At this time, Yuanbao came close to Yun Muqing and muttered, "They are the ones selling egg pancakes and rice balls. And rice dumplings, too."

Yun Muqing's eyes lit up and he looked at Xu Qinghe and Xu Ruyi seriously.

I accidentally tried some street food and was surprised by how delicious the egg pancakes were. I also think that eating rice balls and rice dumplings occasionally seems pretty good too. This kind of fresh food is unique to the county town and seems to be unavailable in Beijing!

Yun Muqing suddenly thought of asking Yuanbao to learn it so that he could eat it when he returned to the capital.

Yun Muqing smiled and said, "Miss, your idea is really good and interesting." Then she left with Yuanbao.

Xu Ruyi looked at Yun Muqing's back and inadvertently saw Huang Guiyun and Dahu Erhu in the crowd.

Dahu and Erhu also happened to see Xu Ruyi, and they quickly waved to her and said hello. Then they walked over quickly.

Erhu looked at a young man tossing rings in front of the stall and said, "It looks quite fun."

Xu Ruyi smiled and said, "It's just a joke. Why don't you try it too?"

Xu Ruyi gave Dahu and Erhu ten rings each. Dahu and Erhu happily started playing.

Huang Guiyun stood nearby, and unusually, she was as silent as a gourd with its mouth sawed off, standing there quietly, but her eyes were fixed on something on the ground.

Dahu and Erhu finished throwing them in a few seconds, then talked to Xu Qinghe, teased Xu Ruyuan and Xu Qingyan, and finally took Huang Guiyun away.

Only then did Xu Ruyi realize that Fang Zhimo had already left.

Xu Ruyi touched the bulging wallet and felt so happy. She couldn't express how happy she was.

Xu Qinghe walked over and said slowly, "I thought I was bringing my younger brothers and sisters here to have fun and relax today, but I didn't expect you to be busy making money."

After hearing this, Xu Ruyi felt that he had indeed gone too far, so he quickly said, "Brother, you can take them out for a good stroll. I'll stay here alone."

Xu Ruyuan and Xu Qingyan immediately ran over excitedly and held Xu Qinghe's hand tightly. Xu Ruyuan said, "Brother, take us for a walk."

Xu Ruyi laughed: "You two clever little ghosts, you have sharp ears. You heard what I said right after I finished speaking. Go and play quickly."

The night view was so beautiful that the two little ones were so happy that they couldn't stop blinking their eyes. They liked everything they saw and wanted everything they saw. They were the happiest people that day.
