The next day, Jiang Zekai came to wish New Year's greetings.

"Kai greets the prince and the young master." Jiang Zekai bowed to them and said, "In the new year, I wish the prince and the young master all their wishes come true and they will have a happy marriage!"

After saying this, he presented his New Year greetings.

Fuling, who was standing by, took the initiative to step forward and accept the gift.

"Happy New Year. Don't be shy. Please sit down." Ye Yanxing replied.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Zekai picked a seat and sat down.

"How is the camp?" Ye Yanxing asked him.

"Everyone in the camp is doing well. Thank you for the New Year gift, Your Majesty!"

Ye Yanxing had asked Yang Bo to purchase a large amount of meat before, and delivered it to the military camp the day before New Year's Eve, as well as fruit. Although there was not as much as meat, everyone in the camp got to taste it.

There were already extra meals during the New Year in the military camp, and with the extra meals Ye Yanxing sent, it’s hard to describe how happy they were during this New Year.

"Work hard and I won't treat you unfairly." Ye Yanxing said lightly.

"Yes! We swear to follow the prince till death!"

"Although it is the New Year now, we cannot slack off in practicing martial arts. We must persist for decades."

"I will follow the prince's instructions."

The two discussed other things in the barracks.

Fu Qianrun listened quietly without interrupting.

He found that Ye Yanxing was really a good leader, thoughtful, with a sense of the overall situation, and caring about his subordinates.

I'm just a little lazy.

But there is nothing wrong with this, after all he can control the overall situation.

After lunch, Jiang Zekai said goodbye and left.

When he left, he also received New Year's money from Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun and the New Year's gifts prepared by Uncle Yang.

Jiang Zekai had complicated feelings. He thought that since he would not be at home for the New Year this year, he would not receive any New Year's money.

Unexpectedly, the prince and the young master actually gave him New Year's money.

But this feels good, which means he follows a good master.

After Jiang Zekai left, Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun had nothing to do.

Magistrate Zhang and others sent New Year gifts before the New Year and will not visit again at this time.

They don't have any relatives or friends here, so only these few people will come to pay New Year's greetings.

"Madam, let's go out for a walk." Ye Yanxing said.

"Okay." Fu Qianrun, who originally wanted to go to the study, took back his steps.

"Awoo!" The king said he wanted to go too.

When Uncle Yang learned that Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun were going out, he stuffed a bag of copper coins into each of their hands.

"Uncle Yang, what are you doing?" Ye Yanxing was full of doubts.

Fu Qianrun knew what he meant. During the Chinese New Year, one had to give symbolic New Year's money to children when seeing them wishing a happy new year outside.

"It's used to give New Year's money to the children of the prince and the young master." Uncle Yang replied with a smile.

"Okay." Ye Yanxing weighed the purse in his hand, there was still quite a lot of money.

"Madam, let's go." Ye Yanxing stuffed the purse into his sleeve pocket, actually throwing it into the space. Carrying such a pile of money in his sleeves would make him tired to death.

Fu Qianrun hung it around his waist.

The two men walked toward the street, with the king following behind them unsteadily.

During the Chinese New Year, the streets are bustling with activity.

Red lanterns hung high make the streets look festive.

People were bustling about, and laughter and conversations intertwined to form a cheerful symphony.

The street stalls are filled with all kinds of New Year goods, and the dazzling array of merchandise is dazzling.

The stall owners shouted their wares enthusiastically, attracting customers to stop and choose.

The children held candied haws in their hands and their faces were filled with happy smiles.

People greet each other and wish each other a happy new year, and the strong festive atmosphere fills the air.

The street performances attracted everyone's attention, and the dragon dance, lion dance, acrobatics and other wonderful programs made people applaud.

The audience gathered in a circle, immersed in the joyful atmosphere.

The streets were filled with joy and bustle, and Ye Yanxing felt the strong flavor of the New Year from these scenes.

"Happy New Year, Your Highness and Young Master!" When the adults saw Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun also shopping, they all greeted them.

"Happy New Year." Ye Yanxing smiled, obviously very fond of such a harmonious and beautiful scene.

"Happy New Year, Your Majesty! Happy New Year, Young Master!" A little boy bravely stepped forward to wish them a happy new year.

"Hey, happy new year, little boy! Come, uncle will give you some New Year's money." Ye Yanxing squatted down and grabbed the little boy who turned around and wanted to run.

The little boy timidly turned around and came face to face with him.

The parents standing by were also shocked by his boldness and stood there nervously waiting.

Ye Yanxing reached into his sleeve, pretending to take out two copper coins, and then handed them to the little boy, "Here, Happy New Year."

Fu Qianrun also gave him two copper coins.

"Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Young Master!" The little boy smiled immediately after receiving the money. It turned out that the prince and the young master were not scary at all.

The parents nearby also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and after thanking Ye Yanxing and the others, they took the little boy away.

Children are the best at joining in the fun. When they see someone being the first to try something new, others will follow suit.

"Happy New Year, Lord!"

"I wish the prince good health!"

"I wish you good luck every year!"

The children swarmed over and even the king was squeezed out by them.

Fortunately, the king didn't care and squatted quietly outside waiting for Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun.

"Okay, okay, happy new year to you too!" Ye Yanxing directed them, "Line up, I'll give you lucky money, but there won't be any for those who don't line up!"

"Okay~!" All the children immediately dispersed and lined up at the back, fearing that they would be late and miss out on lucky money.

After they were all lined up, Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun gave them New Year's money one by one.

The children who received the New Year's money left with smiles on their faces and jumped happily.

Soon, all the children in the queue received their New Year's money, and then they gathered together to discuss buying some candied haws to eat.

A few more children came later, and Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun gave them all the gifts.

I guess most of the kids who went out on the street today are here. No one came to wish Ye Yanxing and the others a happy new year afterwards.

Ye Yanxing likes energetic children very much, they are the hope for a country's future.

When we walked to the end of the street, we saw a wonton shop. Business was pretty good. The parents were too busy to handle it, and the two children were diligently cleaning up the dishes and wiping the table.

"Ma'am, let's go have a bowl of wontons."

"Ah."

The two walked into the shop and sat down in front of a freshly cleaned table. "Boss, two bowls of wontons, please!"

"Hey, here I am!" The boss answered without even raising his head as he was busy cooking wontons.

Soon, the boss came with wontons. Seeing that the visitors were Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun, he hurriedly saluted.

"I have met the prince."

"No need to be so polite, we are here to eat wontons, just ordinary diners." Ye Yanxing helped the boss up.

"Yes, Your Majesty and Young Master, please enjoy your meal!" The shop owner smiled.

The round and plump wontons make people hungry at first sight.

Ye Yanxing took a bite and was not disappointed.

"Ma'am, the wontons here are delicious."

"Ah."

The two of them ate everything, even the soup.

"Boss, check out."

The boss was very busy, and the person who came was his child, a little boy.

"Happy New Year, Your Highness!" The little boy was the first to greet them.

"Happy New Year!" Ye Yanxing first paid him for the wontons, then gave him New Year's money, and also gave him the share for another little girl and asked him to pass it on.

After paying the bill, Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun left.

The little boy took the money to his father and told him that the prince had given him and his sister extra New Year's money.

The boss was so moved that he kept sighing that the prince and the young master were both good people.

"Since it was given by the prince and the young master, you should keep it for yourself. Oh, and remember to give your sister's share."

"Okay, Daddy!" the little boy answered happily and ran to find his sister.
