After December, the New Year is coming soon. The family does not have a few days to relax and has to start preparing for the New Year one after another.

It snowed again in early January, not at night, but during the day. Seeing that the snow was not heavy, Li Mofu let the two cats go out to play for a while.

Before the New Year, the old lady chose a relative for Lu Baiyu. The relative was Chen Muwen, the young master of the Minister of War. He was eighteen years old this year, about the same age as Lu Baiyu. He had a good appearance and height, was both civil and martial, and was gentle to others.

Lu Baiyu had met him once at a birthday party and had a good impression of him. After getting to know him better with her grandmother, she agreed.

After Lu Baiyu agreed, the old lady asked Marquis Wu'an to invite Minister Chen and his wife to talk. In the end, both parties thought it was a good idea and made an engagement, which was scheduled for March after the New Year.

When Li Mofu learned about this, he just thought it was too fast. It only took a few months from the time they met to the time they got married, and they didn't have much time to spend together.

But Lu Mingyun said that Lu Baiyu also thought Chen Muwen was very good, and since her grandmother wanted her to marry him earlier, she would not object.

Okay, pure love brain.

But it makes sense. Lu Baiyu is the only daughter of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. As long as the Wu'an Marquis Mansion does not fall, no one dares to make things difficult for her.

This marriage is a perfect match between two well-matched families, and a powerful alliance. Although Chen Muwen does not hold an official position yet, I heard that he is a good student and has the hope of passing the imperial examination.

Years ago, Li Mofu went to see Wang Ruiyan again. The two traveling medicinal herbs got together and chatted for a while, but because they had not found a Taoist priest yet, they mostly complained.

Even in the coldest time of the year, people usher in the New Year. Streets are decorated with colorful lights, and people are bustling with joy. Walking among them, you will be infected with smiles.

Because there were many things to do during the New Year celebrations in the Marquis' Mansion, and Li Mofu didn't need to participate in those things, he ran out by himself. Although the air was cold after he came out, it was very lively.

"What do you want to eat?" Li Mofu asked with a smile.

Guozi was also infected by the festivity on the street. He walked happily beside Li Mofu and said, "Eat some candied haws. They're not sour at this time!"

"Okay! Mo Yi, what do you want to eat?" Li Mofu asked again.

Mo Yi followed behind them. He was not a child who did not like to eat these little things, so he shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, you can eat whatever you want and go wherever you want. I don't have any favorites."

"Hmph, boring." Li Mofu complained, then he put his arm around Guozi's shoulder and said proudly, "Come on! I'll take you to eat all over this street!"

"Thank you, sir!" Guozi smiled from ear to ear.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Mofu actually spent the entire afternoon strolling the streets, eating from one end to the other. People were coming and going on the streets, passing by in waves, and Li Mofu and the other two were also walking along with the crowd.

Li Mofu returned home on time. He was so full that he couldn't even eat dinner. Fortunately, Lu Mingyun wanted to eat with his family, otherwise he would be nagged again.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, that little brat came again.

"What's the matter? Your father went out." Li Mofu yawned while lying on the recliner with his chin supported.

Lu Nianhuan pouted and said, "I know, I'm here to give you a gift."

Li Mofu blinked and looked at the little guy in disbelief, "A gift? For me? Are you going to give me your pure gold longevity lock?"

Lu Nianhuan frowned, "My longevity lock is made of jade, not gold."

"...Oh, what are you going to give me?" Li Mofu didn't expect that this little brat actually had a longevity lock.

Lu Nianhuan placed the box in his hands on the small table. "This is the tea my great-grandmother gave me. It smells so good!"

Li Mofu held his forehead, took a deep breath and smiled, "Haha, thank you, I like it very much."

No matter what, you should smile at people after receiving something.

Lu Nianhuan smiled brightly, "Well, then I'm leaving!"

After saying that, the little brat ran away. This was the first time he left Li Mofu's yard so early with a smile on his face.

"The young master is very smart." Guozi said with a smile.

Li Mofu touched his chin. It was really smart for a two or three year old to speak like that. At first, he couldn't understand what the little brat said. He spoke quickly and vaguely, but recently he was speaking more and more clearly.

"Sir, let me make some tea for you to try." Guozi said as he picked up the tea box.

Li Mofu nodded indifferently, "Okay."

In the evening, Li Mofu had dinner and read in the house. The two cats did not sleep. Maybe they slept too much in the afternoon. They were very energetic at the moment, chasing each other around the house.

"Be careful, or you might get crushed if you knock something over." Li Mofu said to the cat while turning the pages.

I don’t know if the cat heard it or not, but Lu Mingyun, who came in without knocking, heard it. “What?”

Li Mofu put down the book, glanced at him, and then picked up the book again. "Why are you eating so fast today?"

The whole family ate for a long time yesterday.

"I came back when they were playing cards." Lu Mingyun came over with a smile and naturally wanted to kiss Li Mofu. Li Mofu slapped his face with a book.

"What's wrong? Are you angry? Then I'll come and eat with you tomorrow." Lu Mingyun said as if he was the delicacies on the table and they could eat more happily with him around.

Li Mo was embarrassed and slapped Lu Mingyun's face with the book. "If you don't leave, I'll knock out your front teeth."

Lu Mingyun didn't leave. He put his arm around Li Mofu's waist and insisted on kissing her. "Just one kiss."

"......" Li Mofu, who was completely unable to avoid it, sighed deeply.

Lu Mingyun smiled, hugged the man and whispered, "I'm telling you, I feel like my father is hiding someone in his yard."

Li Mofu's ears perked up when he heard this. "What? Your father is hiding someone? Who? How did you know?"
