Mrs. Yuan saw Yun Jinnian like this and knew that someone would surely come over soon. She hurriedly said, "Since Miss has spoken, let's go to the kitchen to eat. Along the way, let's see what delicious things the kitchen has and have them prepared too!"
Ming Yang and Ru Yue eagerly agreed.
Danxia and a few others, along with two coarse servant women, couldn't be happier. They quickly closed the courtyard door and went to the small kitchen to drink and dine.
Looking at the deserted Niannian Garden, Yun Jinnian took a deep breath.
She suddenly remembered that she hadn't opened the New Year's money pouch Chu Yu gave her last year. She was curious, but she didn't dare to open it.
Just like the pouch Yun Zihan gave her, she had never opened it to this day.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yun Jinnian came back to her senses at the sound and saw it was Princess Jinfeng, "Princess, what brings you here?"
"Heh, if brother can come, can't I?" Princess Jinfeng said as she entered the hall with a grand swish, looking around.
Yun Jinnian pursed her lips and hurriedly followed, "Princess, have you had your New Year's Eve dinner?"
"I have, ate in the palace, it wasn't tasty at all!" Princess Jinfeng said as she picked up an ornament, inspected it, and then put it back down.
"Would the Princess like something to eat?" Yun Jinnian asked.
"No thanks, I've lost my appetite!" Princess Jinfeng sat down on the Arhat bed and continued to complain, "You have no idea how annoying brother is. He actually said that I'm already eighteen and still not married, that I'll be an old maid and won't be able to get married if this keeps up. He doesn't even think about how he's eighteen and doesn't have a wife himself!"
Yun Jinnian didn't say anything, but poured a cup of hot water for Princess Jinfeng, "Careful, it's hot!"
Princess Jinfeng took a gentle sip and went on, "Besides, I won't be eighteen until after the New Year, and it's not the New Year yet, is it!"
Yun Jinnian stayed silent.
She really wanted to tell Princess Jinfeng that in an hour and a half, she would be eighteen.
But seeing her so angry, she simply nodded slightly.
Princess Jinfeng suddenly said again, "With the way he is, he'll definitely not be able to get a wife in the future!"
"..."
Yun Jinnian had nothing to say.
Princess Jinfeng took out a money pouch from her bosom and handed it to Yun Jinnian, "Here, my New Year's gift to you!"
Yun Jinnian hesitated for a moment before taking it and holding it tight in her palm, "Thank you, Princess!"
"Aren't you going to open it to see?"
Yun Jinnian shook her head slightly, "The Princess's gesture is worth much more than what's inside!"
"Hehe, you sweet talker. When you speak, it's really charming. Right, are you going to the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence on the third day of the New Year?"
Yun Jinnian shook her head slightly, "I don't really want to go!"
"Come on, I'll be there, and Tuantuan as well. Do you want to take Tuantuan back with you?"
Tuantuan was a dog raised by Princess Jinfeng, all white like a fox with a very small and ferocious face.
"Does the Princess not want to keep it anymore?"
"Not at all! It's just that after the New Year, I'll have to return to my fief. I don't know when I'll come back to the capital. I'm leaving it to keep you company. When I return to my fief, I'll find another female for it, to be its wife!"
"Tuantuan is sure to be overjoyed!"
"Indeed, it's been lonely for a while. The other day, it saw a large wolfhound from the Wang Residence in heat and wanted to..."
Princess Jinfeng said and paused, covering her mouth as she started to giggle, "Look at me, where has the conversation gone!"
Yun Jinnian also laughed softly, "Did the Princess come alone? Where are Si Qin and Si Ju?"
The topic was changed.
"Of course I didn't come alone. That ice block is following me!"
Ice block, Leng Binghan.
A name with three layers of cold.
Yun Jinnian thought of his expressionless face and couldn't help but shiver.
