On the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, the eve of the Chinese New Year, Los Angeles welcomed the first snow of the year.

Los Angeles is located in the southern part of the city and has a warm climate. Except for the snowstorm eight years ago, there are only one or two light snowfalls almost every year, and this year is no exception.

The snow fell to the ground and melted soon.

Lu Yanyan gave Lu Yuan the same sum of money so that the children of Ji'an School could buy more thick cotton clothes.

After the Lu family's caravan transported tea, cocoa beans, spices and jewelry to Luocheng, they also transported away the last batch of marinade ingredients before the New Year.

This time, they can only celebrate the New Year on the road.

Lu Youtian gave each person a big red envelope and told them to be careful on the road.

Business gets more prosperous as the year draws to a close. Lu Yanyan originally wanted to let all the shops take a break during the New Year's Eve.

But no one wants to rest. Working one more day means earning more money. Now the more they work, the more they earn. The higher the income of the shop, the more they earn.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Fugui, Lu Changping, Qin Gang, Dalin and Erlin finally returned before the New Year.

Yan Hui and Yan Shi'an are finally going to take Yan Xuewen home.

The father and son went to the Han family with a car full of gifts, and happened to meet Lu Fugui and Lu Changping who were also at the Han family.

After lunch, the Han family sat with the guests in the reception room and chatted about their children.

Yan Hui and Yan Shi'an became happier and happier as they talked. Seeing Yan Xuewen looking at his friends with reluctance, Yan Hui felt something in his heart.

"Qingyun, Xuewen has been through these past few months thanks to you and your niece's wife. He's a motherless child, and his father is busy all day. Fortunately, you have made up for the parental love he's been missing for the past six months."

"Uncle Yan, you're too kind. Xuewen is a sensible, down-to-earth and hardworking child, so he's naturally loved by everyone," said Han Qingyun.

"Qingyun, this child is destined to be with you. How about recognizing him as your godparent?"

Yan Hui actually wanted Yan Xuewen and Han Huaiyu to have an arranged marriage, but he didn't have the courage to mention it.

Han Huaiyu not only has excellent looks, but she also became the most famous girl in Ziwei Academy in just a few months.

The Yan family also has a relative's daughter who studies at Ziwei Academy. Whenever they mention Han Huaiyu, they express endless admiration for him.

At the age of seven, he was admitted to Ziwei Academy and achieved top grades in all subjects in the monthly examinations.

Not only did the dean and the teachers like her, but even many young ladies from official families were on good terms with her.

Ye Xinglin, the granddaughter of the miraculous doctor Ye Jianan, treats her like her own sister, and a group of ordinary civilian girls gather around her.

Yan Xuewen is not worthy of a girl like this.

Yan Hui could only settle for the second best and let his grandson recognize Han Qingyun as his godfather.

As soon as Yan Hui finished speaking, there was silence all around.

Yan Shi'an was delighted and was about to wink at his son when he saw that his son, who had always been more down-to-earth than smart, had already knelt in front of Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan.

When Mu Chengkang saw Yan Xuewen kneeling down, he suddenly had an idea and knelt down in front of Han Qingyun and the other person, then looked at them eagerly.

When Lu Changan saw his two friends kneeling down, he subconsciously knelt down as well, which made Lu Fugui so angry that he glared at him.

Lu Changan thought about it in his mind, who was closer to him, his adoptive father and mother or his uncle and aunt.

Finally, he remembered that he was his nephew and those two men could not get past him, so he stood still.

Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan glanced at each other, then looked at Yan Xuewen and Mu Chengkang who were looking expectant, and said to the two children with a smile: "Hurry up and get up, the ground is cold."

Yan Hui gently kicked his grandson's butt. Yan Xuewen was particularly alert today and immediately shouted, "Godfather and Godmother, please accept my greetings."

Mu Chengkang quickly followed suit, shouting, "Godfather and Godmother, please accept my obeisance."

Then he followed Yan Xuewen and kowtowed three times obediently.

Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan each pulled up a child, and then they kowtowed three times to Chen.

Chen was naturally happy too. These two were very good children and got along very well with the four children in the family.

Han Xigu was also jealous, but he and Han Qingyun were uncle and nephew, so the two of them had to sit at the back of the line because of their blood relationship.

Han Huaijin tasted something bad for the first time. From then on, he was no longer the eldest in the family, and his parents had two more sons.

Then he thought again, those two people couldn't get past him anyway, and neither of them could have the surname Han. Thinking of this, he felt much better.

Bringing my three younger siblings to meet my two older brothers, the living room suddenly became bustling with activity...

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, another letter from Han Qingshan was delivered to Lin Pingyuan's house.

The last two letters were both addressed to Han Qingyun, and Han Qingyun later showed them to Han Dongchen and others.

Han Qingyun also wrote a reply letter and handed it to the housekeeper of Lin Pingyuan's mansion, but it is not known whether Han Qingshan received it.

This time there were two letters again, one was to Han Dongchen's brother, and it was very thin.

The other letter was to Han Qingyun and was very thick.

Han Dongchen, Han Nanxing, Han Xigu and Han Beiwang who had just arrived, heard that his father finally remembered that he had four sons, so they quickly opened the letter to read.

The letter was very short, with only one sentence - East, West, South, and North, the four of you should listen carefully to your second uncle.

The four brothers looked at each other, and finally looked at the letter in Han Qingyun's hand.

Han Qingshan's letter to Han Qingyun contained a lot of content and was full of rambling.

To sum up, the first thing is that he was promoted and is now a captain of a thousand men.

Second, General Lin suffered a defeat in the last battle and his deputy general also died.

He then requested the court to make General Gao his deputy general.

The court replied that it would send another person to serve as deputy general.

Third, thank Han Qingshan and Lu Yanyan for taking care of Han Mingzhu.

Han Mingzhu was at his second brother's house, so he was very relieved and decided not to let Han Dongchen and others interfere in Mingzhu's affairs.

Fourthly, he believed that Han Qingyun would definitely pass the imperial examination next year and become a Jinshi.

Tell Han Qingyun to take good care of his health and never get sick before the exam.

The four Han Dongchen brothers felt a little depressed after reading the letter their father wrote to their second uncle.

They have changed now, so why doesn't Dad trust them?

On the 29th day of the 12th lunar month, Lu Yanyan visited every shop, distributed New Year gifts and red envelopes to everyone, and announced that the shop would reopen on the 6th day of the 1st lunar month.

Everyone thanked Lu Yanyan and said they would continue to work hard next year.

The income from just a few months is more than what they have earned in the past few years. How could they not do their best?

Han Dongchen's five siblings and Zhao Xingye's two brothers all returned to Baiyun Village, and Ma Chao was also sent back to Rhodes Lane to celebrate the New Year.

It was the New Year, and Han Huaijin and Mu Chengkang no longer stayed in the study reading and practicing calligraphy as they did in the past. Instead, they started playing with Han Huaixi and Han Huaian.

Han Huaiyu told Lu Yanyan that Doctor Ye was not in Beijing this year, and she wanted to bring Ye Xinglin over to celebrate the New Year together.

Lu Yanyan said that as long as Ye Xinglin agreed, she had no objection.

Han Huaiyu happily took Lu Xiangqing to pick up Ye Xinglin.

Not long after, Ye Xinglin came with her maid Huang Qi and Han Huaiyu.

Han Huaiyu took Ye Xinglin to pay his respects to his grandmother and parents, and then went to look for his brothers and sisters.

It was the first time that Ye Xinglin met Han Huaijin and others. She was very surprised. This family was really good-looking.

She always thought that Han Huaiyu was the most handsome person she had ever seen, but her brother and sister-in-law were also very good-looking, not inferior to Huaiyu.

After meeting Han Huaiyu's sworn brother Mu Chengkang again, Ye Xinglin also praised him in his heart, saying that this young man had such a great demeanor and style.

However, Ye Xinglin vaguely felt that something was wrong with Mu Chengkang, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

In the evening, Tao Jinzhi used all her life's skills to prepare two large tables full of delicious food. Although men and women sat separately, they were all in the same flower hall. As usual, the atmosphere was very warm.

During the day, Mu Chengkang joked that he, the second brother, came here by following Yan Xuewen, but even if people said he was shameless, he would stay in the Han family. Only in the Han family did he feel at home.

Ye Xinglin felt a little sad. She had been dependent on her grandfather since she was a child. Her grandfather was cold and often went out, so she could only live with two servants and a maid in the house.

Peng Yu was her only friend, but the Peng family was an official family after all, with too many rules. She always felt uncomfortable and rarely visited them.

Like today, the whole family sits together to eat, and they can talk and tell interesting stories while eating. She really likes it...
