"Miss...Miss, please run slower..."

Nianniang threw down the dried fruit plate with the peach charms with the Chinese character "福" on it and quickly chased after Jiang An who was running out of the yard.

Jiang An was a festive and noble girl today. She had a red gem hanging on a headband on her head, and a water-red long coat on her body. The hem of her skirt looked like a blooming lotus when she ran. The tassels on the deep red belt around her waist swayed, and the golden decorations sparkled in the sun.

The red dress doesn't look tacky on her, and it makes her skin look even whiter and tenderer, like a lucky doll that walked out of a painting.

Now, the lucky doll was running out with a peach charm with the word "Fu" written on it in one hand and new clothes made for the fox cub in the other. It was moving quite fast on its two short legs.

While chasing the fox, she kept saying, "You're running for nothing!"

"You have to believe An An, it's really beautiful!"

The fox cub grew fat in Jiang An's place, and turned into a white ball. It turned its head to look at its little master who was chasing it, and cried loudly.

Fox cub: With your aesthetic taste, just lie to the fox!

Behind her, Nianniang tapped the ground with her toes, her dress fluttering, and reached out to grab Tuanzi, holding him in her arms.

Jiang An had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, his eyes were bright, and he didn't react when his feet left the ground, still trying to move his short legs.

She looked at Nianniang's enlarged face, then at the fox cub running forward, and pouted her lips, "Oh, I got caught~"

She stretched out her chubby little paw, saying, "Hurry up and grab the cub, he's not even wearing any clothes yet!"

Nianniang hugged the young lady and gave Zhengyan a look.

you go!

Zhengyan (Yuan Zhong): …Go away!

At last…

The fat white fox cub still wore the bright red coat, and a striking peach charm was pasted on his back.

The fox's eyes reflected the loss of hope in life. Its fox life... its fame!

The red ball hugged the fox cub that tried to escape again, smiling happily, patting himself and patting the cub.

"An An is red, and Zi Zi is also red!"

The whole group pressed on the fox, got close to the fox's ears, and threatened and tempted, "If you wear this, let Niangniang give you an extra roast chicken tonight!"

The fox whimpered, its tail swept the ground, its eyes narrowed, and its whole face smiled obscenely.

Say it earlier~

Put on!

Must wear!

Jiang An, who had successfully fooled the fox cub, showed his white and sticky teeth, and his eyes curved into crescents.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the baby should have two roast chickens to eat~

"Miss, do you want to put up the peach charms?"

Zheng Yan's slightly cheerful voice sounded outside the house.

Tuanzi quickly got up from the carpet, holding the white fox cub and ran out, "Here I come~"

A ladder was set up beside the courtyard gate. Zheng Yan was the one pasting the couplets, and Jiang An was the one giving the orders. There were also servants making arrangements in the courtyard.

It was quite lively for a while...

The peach charms in Zhaixingyuan are very unique, with couplets full of "Hahaha..."

Looking to the left, then to the right, Zheng Yan blinked his eyes and felt that the "Haha" in front of him seemed to be twisting.

"Miss, this couplet you chose is...quite special!"

He leaned over and asked his brother in a low voice, "Is this popular in Chongzhou Prefecture now?"

Zheng Lu shook his head, "I don't know, as long as the lady is happy."

The lady is indeed very happy.

He held the banner in his hands, stood on tiptoe at the gate, and measured it, obviously intending to stick it on himself.

Nianniang was being watched by her pair of bright round eyes with hope. She couldn't even say "it's too dangerous".

"Miss, if you want to get close to me, I will carry you up there!"

Yeah!

Jiang An held up the banner and spun around in joy.

The laughter of the baby at the gate was so clear that it attracted the attention of the servants in the yard, who also smiled unconsciously.

Nianniang picked up Tuanzi, tapped the ladder lightly with her toes, and stood at the highest point as easily as a flying swallow.

Jiang An pasted the banner with his fat paws on it, his eyes were so pious as if he was performing some kind of ritual.

I only heard her say in a baby voice, "Be happy this year, be happy next year, and be happy every year~"

"An..."

"Meet the prince..."

It’s Jiang Jichen.

Nianniang quickly flew down with the young lady and put her down carefully, "Greetings, Your Majesty..."

Jiang Jichen was wearing a dark red robe and a black cloak. The dark red made his lips look even redder, and his face was bright and sharp.

Behind him was Hu Yan, who usually wore a blue shirt, but today he changed into a gorgeous outfit, with a long robe hanging down to his shoes, looking like a proud young man from a wealthy family.

"Dad~"

Seeing that it was his father, Jiang An opened his arms and rushed into his arms, not forgetting to take the red fox cub with him.

The cub was not well behaved in Tuanzi's arms. Its paws, trimmed after the cut, didn't hurt, but the way it tried to escape was somewhat funny...

Jiang Jichen gave a look, and the fox paused its movements. It hid its head under Jiang An's arm.

Fox: You can’t see me… You can’t see me…

Tuanzi held her father's hand and showed him her beautiful new clothes, the peach charms on the fox cub's body, and the special couplet on the gate.

Facing his daughter's eyes seeking praise, the old father's eyebrows softened, "Very beautiful..."

Right? Right?

If Jiang An had a tail, it would have been up to the sky long ago!

Hu Yan covered his face with his fan. As a scholar, it was really difficult for him to face those eyes full of "Haha..."!

Today is New Year's Eve. It is a custom in Kyoto to sprinkle water around the house to remove the dust of the previous year and welcome the new year.

In Chongzhou, there will be lion dances on the streets on New Year's Eve. People here call it Taipingle. The most popular lion dance here is martial lion dance, which is meant to drive away evil and avoid harm.

One person is the lion's head and the other is the lion's tail. Ten to a hundred people form a team. In the team, there are also young and strong men carrying the tablets of the God of Land and the God of Rice, in order to pray for good weather and a good harvest next year.

This is the grandest festival in Chongzhou, and men, women, young and old will go out of their homes...

The carriage was ready outside the mansion. Madam Huo had already reserved the best private room in Yufu Building and was waiting for Jiang Jichen and his companions.

The lion dance has not started yet, but the streets are already bustling with activity.

The carriage window was open, and Tuanzi leaned against the window to look curiously...

Some brave people mixed in the crowd and shouted to the carriage of the Zhenguo Palace, "May the prince and the eldest lady be safe and sound forever!"

One person shouted, and scattered voices joined in.

Finally, the people on the long street bowed and saluted, with a noisy and monotonous voice, "May the prince and the young lady be safe and sound forever!"

The sound was deafening. Tuanzi rested his chin on the edge of the small window, smiling happily on his round face.

She turned back to look at her father. In the midst of the blessings, Tuanzi's voice was a little low. She echoed the words of the people.

“Peace every year…”

Guan Yan, who was driving the car, stood up and thanked the people. "Everyone, today is a festival, and we have prepared red money in front of the Zhenguo Palace."

"May the prince celebrate the festival with you all!"
