"Auntie... What is this?" Long Yan asked shyly.
"This? Ah... This is a snake. His name is Zhang Jin. A-Yan, you cannot touch, alright? Why don't you say hi to Zhang Jin?"
Long Yan poked his head out from behind Xiao Yue's sleeve and shyly mumbled, "Hi, Zhang Jin..."
Zhang Jin replied with another hiss, but this time it sounded a lot like a greeting. After that, Zhang Jin curled up and lay his head meekly on top of his own body.
Long Yan mouthed a "Wow".
"A-Yan, have you had your lunch yet? Why don't we eat together? Oh I know, why don't we have a little picnic out here?"
A maid was dispatched to the First Madam's manor to invite her to the picnic while the others went to gather lunch for three people into bamboo baskets.
The First Madam arrived soon with an entourage of maids with a few bamboo baskets dangling from their arms.
