Qin Junyu bought all the 100 rolls of Yueying gauze from Yuxiangfang, spending a total of 300 taels of silver. He paid the silver note without blinking an eye.

The shopkeeper was delighted.

Nian Susu was also stunned. It turned out that rich people paid so quickly and efficiently.

"Miss Nian, let go." The shopkeeper reminded her.

When Nian Susu came back to her senses, she found that she was still holding a dime of the silver note and was reluctant to let go. This was the money to pay for Jingzhe's clothes.

The shopkeeper looked at her eagerly.

There is no harm without comparison, and Nian Su Su let go with great pain.

On the table were five sets of clothes Jingzhe had personally selected. She looked around the store, pointed to the most expensive section, and said to the shopkeeper, "This row."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up.

"I don't want any of them." She smiled and pushed five sets of clothes in front of him, "Pack these five."

The shopkeeper's eyes darkened.

……

Qin Jun walked out of Yuxiangfang calmly, followed closely by Nian Susu. Although he didn't spend as much as him, he was just as imposing.

"Ahem... Is there anything else you want to buy?" He looked back.

Nian Susu looked around to make sure there was no one else here except them. She pointed at her nose and asked, "Me?"

Qin Junyu: "Just you."

She took a few steps forward, walked in front of him, and smiled brightly, "Your Highness, would you like to pay for me?"

"No help." He replied coldly.

Nian Susu said "huh" and turned his head and walked to the side. What was he asking if he wasn't going to help?

Qin Junyu burst out laughing. It was rare for him to be in such a good mood.

After a while, Qin Guanqing and Xiao Jianting came out.

Qin Guan glanced at the sulking Nian Susu, and then said to Qin Junyu: "Brother Emperor, the Yueyingsha has been packed, and someone from the palace will come to pick it up later."

"Ah."

"Miss! Help me!"

A painful cry was heard from behind. Several people turned around and saw Jingzhe holding a large stack of clothes in his arms. The clothes were higher than his head and he could not see the road clearly. He could only use his feet to explore the way forward and then walk forward. He looked very funny.

Zhihua, with empty hands, skipped over to Nian Susu and said, "Hehe, Miss."

While the two were talking, Qin Junyu nudged Xiao Jianting with his elbow and lowered his voice to ask, "Do you have any money on you?"

Xiao Jianting: "Hmm?"

Qin Junyu needs to borrow money from him?

Qin Guanqing, who was standing at the side, also heard it and was shocked: "Brother Emperor, are you hiding something from us?"

Recruiting soldiers? Bribing ministers?

What kind of plan is this to empty the entire Eastern Palace? The prince actually wants to borrow money from others!

Qin Guanqing was really scared.

Qin Junyu was speechless, "I asked you if you have any money on you."

"Oh oh oh." The two finally reacted.

They each felt their purses and searched all possible places to hide money, and finally gathered together ten taels of silver.

When the ten taels of silver were placed in front of Qin Junyu, his face turned pale.

If I had brought more banknotes with me, I wouldn’t be in such a mess now.

"Ayu, what do you want the silver for? I'll go back home to get it now."

After all, one of the three lived in the East Palace, and one lived at the foot of the imperial city, so only the Xiao Mansion was closer.

Xiao Jianting was about to go back after saying this.

Qin Junyu stopped him and said, "No need, go back."

Let’s go back now. We have completed our mission and can go our separate ways.

Xiao Jianting and Qin Guanqing exchanged puzzled looks.

The three of them said goodbye to each other overnight and then returned home.

Since Jingzhe still had to go to Zhiyun Pavilion to buy clothes for Zhihua, it was really inconvenient for him to carry so many clothes, so Nian Susu spent another 1 or 2 taels of silver and asked the shopkeeper to send them to the prime minister's residence.

Of course, this tael of silver was deducted from the monthly salary of Jingzhe, which made him very sad.

After buying clothes, Nian Susu took them to buy some New Year's goods. After a busy day, they barely finished buying everything.

Just buying things for three people made Nian Susu dizzy, not to mention that Yang Yuerong had to manage the entire house. No wonder they said they couldn't take care of her when they were busy.

However, she only needs to take care of herself now and doesn't need to worry about anything else. Being a mama's girl has its advantages.

……

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the mansion was filled with the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. Except for the four main courtyards in the east, west, south and north, the windows of the other rooms were pasted with festive red window grilles.

The patterns, colors, and shapes are varied and are hand-cut by maids and nurses.

Because everyone was looking forward to the Chinese New Year, they worked very hard and cut too much without realizing it. They pasted the paper everywhere, even the dog hole in the backyard.

Yang Yuerong was responsible for distributing the New Year's goods needed in various parts of the mansion. The East Wing still received the most things, while the West Wing was quite different and was almost no different from usual.

Nian Qiaoyue was still under house arrest, and Nian Chengyun didn't say when she would be released. Yang Yuerong didn't care, and the others didn't dare to ask. So until the 29th, few people set foot in the West Wing, which was out of place with the joyous New Year atmosphere.

Nian Qiaoyue had been ill since she returned from the Xiao Mansion. Although Mrs. Zhang was full of resentment, she had always taken good care of her. It was at this time that Nian Qiaoyue changed her opinion of Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang is not a bad person actually, she is just a little selfish.

If a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. She is not wrong.

In a way, they are the same people.

On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed.

The weather was very cold and everyone was lazy and didn't want to move much, but the New Year was so exciting that their hearts beat faster and their hands and feet kept moving slowly.

Nian Chengyun wrote the Spring Festival couplets by himself. The upper line reads: The ancestral hall has protected the country for thousands of years. The lower line reads: Blessings from all directions bring peace. The horizontal banner reads: Spring comes to every home.

Under the protection of several servants, he personally pasted the Spring Festival couplets on the doorposts of the main hall.

Once the Spring Festival couplets were put up, with red paper and gold characters, the entire main hall looked brand new.

Nian Chengyun was quite proud of his work. Although the people in his mansion could not read or write, they racked their brains to praise it, which made Nian Chengyun very proud.

Even until the reunion dinner in the evening, the smile on Nian Chengyun's face did not fade.

Nian Susu was wearing new clothes, a scarlet jacket and skirt, and a kite-colored cloak on the outside, which made her skin look white and rosy. She walked in the snow holding an oil-paper umbrella, looking like a person in a painting.

The snow in the yard was almost above the shoes, but today was New Year's Eve, a day off designated by Yang Yuerong, so no one was sweeping the snow.

Nian Susu walked into the hall, shook off the snow on his cloak, put his umbrella aside, and then he found that there was another person in the front hall - Nian Qiaoyue.

Nian Qiaoyue was still wearing old clothes, looking sick and pale. She sat in the armchair and stared at her cautiously.

She walked closer, and Nian Qiaoyue stood up and nodded to her: "Sister."

After not seeing each other for more than ten days, she had almost forgotten what happened in Xiao Mansion, but Nian Qiaoyue apologized to her: "Sister, it's my fault, can you forgive me?"

Nian Susu guessed that Nian Chengyun had said something to her.

Whether Nian Qiaoyue can be released from house arrest depends on a word from Nian Chengyun. They must have met today.

She sighed, "Forget it, forget it, it's New Year's Day, don't mention unlucky things."
