This year was Qin Yuji's first Spring Festival since marrying into the Chi family, and no sooner had New Year's Day passed than Old Madam Chi instructed the servants to start cleaning the house from top to bottom, just waiting for the family to get together for the lively celebration of staying up on New Year's Eve and ushering in the Spring Festival.
After resting for a day at Tinglan Waterside, Qin Yuji linked arms with Chi Jingxuan and joined the bustling crowd on the streets, buying quite a few New Year's items.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, the couple woke up early.
Packing the purchased items into the trunk, they entered the house and started to dress up—changing clothes, Qin Yuji felt exceptionally elated.
