Kapitel 288: 288 Husband, are you in a hurry?

The carriage headed toward Shangjing, with Li Xianyun, Youlan, and Zhuo Ma, the master and servants, playing a game of catching stones on the table inside.

This was a pastime that Li Xianyun had brought from Chang'an, meant especially for the entertainment of ladies.

There were six round stones in total. First, she would toss the stones and catch them on the back of her hand, then grab one and toss the rest up, swiftly catching the other five.

It was a simple game, yet so much fun, and the more they played, the more addictive it became, giving them the feeling that they could never tire of it.

At first, Zhuo Ma didn't know how to play, but after watching Li Xianyun and Youlan for a few rounds, she picked it up—though she wasn't as skilled as them.

Li Xianyun was the best at it, her deftness allowed her to catch two widely spaced stones with ease.

While the three of them were having great fun, suddenly a chaotic and rushed sound of horseshoes came from outside.
