By the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the festive atmosphere at Mengxi Garden had gradually faded.
As dawn broke, Yu Se announced that today, she would head to Gu Mansion to prepare a meal, as igniting the kitchen fire symbolized prosperity for the coming year.
She had previously consulted Gu Jiangnian, who was always benevolent and respectful; naturally, he had no objections.
Not to mention that Yu Se upheld this practice every year.
Downstairs, Yu Se and Hei Chi were making preparations when the person who was hungover from last night's drinking came downstairs, all neatly dressed and rubbing his temples in obvious discomfort.
"Why are you up so early?"
"Once I woke up, I got up," Gu Jiangnian replied casually.
Hei Chi went into the kitchen and came back out with a cup of warm water in hand, which he handed to Gu Jiangnian. The latter reached out to take it and saw Yu Se and Hei Chi busy working. He casually asked, "What's Mother busy with?"
