Feng Jin was worried about letting Lin Yuwei go back alone, and since she also had to go back, she might as well escort Lin Yuwei, which would put her mind at ease.
"It's alright, Feng Jin sister. I can go back by myself. If you're busy, you can go back first."
Lin Yuwei began to decline. She had finally managed to get out. She hadn't had much fun yet and didn't want to go back so soon.
If she went back, Chu Chenyi would certainly not let her out again and would watch her even more strictly. She had to take this opportunity to have as much fun as possible, so as not to waste her hard-earned escape.
"The capital has been unstable these past few days. Let's go out and explore again in a few days. Hurry and come back with me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Jin, ignoring Lin Yuwei's objections, reached out and pulled Lin Yuwei up from the chair. If she hadn't seen Lin Yuwei, she wouldn't have bothered with this matter.
But now that she had seen Lin Yuwei and the person was still by her side, she couldn't possibly let Lin Yuwei wander around outside if she knew there was danger. Even if she had to tie her up, she would take Lin Yuwei back today.
"Feng Jin sister, please let me wander for a while longer. I promise I won't have any problems. I worked so hard to get out, and as soon as I step out, you're taking me back. I'll be so depressed. Feng Jin sister, just close one eye and pretend you didn't see me."
Lin Yuwei grabbed Feng Jin's arm and swayed it, her tone soft and full of coquetry.
Feng Jin, who had long seen through Lin Yuwei's little tricks, sighed helplessly. It was her bad luck to run into Lin Yuwei, this big trouble, as soon as she went out, and she couldn't shake her off.
Moreover, she couldn't rest assured letting Lin Yuwei wander around the street alone, and this person was stubbornly refusing to go back. After hesitating for a long time, Feng Jin decided to accompany Lin Yuwei for a while so that she could be at ease.
"I'll accompany you for a while. When you're willing to go back, I'll send you back."
"That's great, no need to go home so early."
Da Bao was the happiest of all, so excited that he almost jumped up. Being able to continue playing outside without going home was simply too wonderful.
"Mother, can we go boating? Mother, please."
Da Bao looked at Feng Jin with bright eyes, still shaking Feng Jin's hand.
"Yes, let's go boating,"
Lin Yuwei echoed Da Bao, her gaze fixed on Feng Jin, waiting for Feng Jin to agree.
"Have the two of you been kicked in the head by a donkey? It's winter, and the lake is frozen. Where are you two going boating? Are you so stupid that you can't even tell the season!"
She really admired the two of them, especially Lin Yuwei. It was understandable that Da Bao, being young and ignorant, didn't know any better. But how old was she? She was about to become a mother, and yet she was making a scene with them.
With her pregnant belly, she was still thinking about boating. Why did she always gravitate towards danger? Moreover, it was winter. Not to mention that the lake was frozen, but going boating in winter would freeze them to death.
The lake surface was bare, with not even a water plant to be seen. Were they going to blow cold air?
"I did forget." Lin Yuwei only realized that it was winter after Feng Jin's reminder. Her mind was really stupid, not even distinguishing the seasons. She must have been confined in the mansion for too long and was becoming foolish.
"Alas... where should we go then!"
Da Bao sighed with a face full of sorrow, instantly losing his previous exuberant demeanor.
They couldn't go boating, and they didn't know what else was fun. It was very boring.
Feng Jin's eyes darted around, and a brilliant idea flashed through her mind.
"I do have a way to have fun. Shall we go back to the mansion and play ring toss?"
"Ring toss? Feng Jin sister, how is ring toss played? I've never heard of it before."
Lin Yuwei looked at Feng Jin with a confused expression. She had never even heard of ring toss. What kind of novel way of playing was this? It sounded quite interesting, but she didn't know if it was fun.
"You just set up items over there, and then you throw the rings at them. As long as you hook an item with a ring, that item is yours. Do you want to go back and play?"
Lin Yuwei listened with a muddled mind. She glanced at Da Bao beside her, then at Feng Jin. Anyway, she had no other fun places to go. This ring toss sounded quite interesting, so she readily agreed.
"Since you both want to play, let's go home. Ring toss is more fun with more people. Let's call Ling Wan and Ling Muzhu back to play."
This way, she could not only find something for them to play with but also use the opportunity to coax Lin Yuwei back.
Playing at home was better than playing outside, at least the safety issue was guaranteed.
After confirming, and to prevent any further delays, Feng Jin hurried the few of them back.
...
After returning to the mansion, Feng Jin gathered everyone and prepared all the items.
Feng Jin held a stick and drew a line on the ground: "All of you stand behind the line. Do not cross this line. As long as you hook the items within the line with the rings in your hands, those items will be yours..."
"Ten rings for one tael of silver. Buy fifty rings and get ten more for free. How many do you want?"
"I want fifty, Feng Jin sister."
"Sister-in-law, I want fifty too."
"Sister-in-law, give me fifty too."
Feng Jin smiled and collected the money, handing over the prepared rings.
This method of ring toss was really excellent, and she even made money from it. It was truly killing two birds with one stone. She was truly impressed by her own intelligence. Only she could come up with such a brilliant method.
In a short while, all the prepared rings were sold. Feng Jin, holding the heavy money bag, had a smile stretching from ear to ear.
"What's wrong? Why are you smiling so happily?"
As soon as Ling Mohan stepped through the threshold, he saw Feng Jin squatting on the ground, beaming with joy, and constantly counting money in her hands.
"Of course, I'm happy because I'm making money." Feng Jin's gaze was fixed on the money in her hands, and she didn't even have time to look up at Ling Mohan.
"Oh no, I didn't hook anything. Why is it so difficult!" Lin Yuwei's voice of complaint sounded. She had already thrown all her rings, but she still hadn't hooked a single one.
Ling Wan threw her last ring. She was luckier than Lin Yuwei, having managed to hook a pair of earrings and not end up empty-handed.
