Jiang Zhinian knew that Mother Qiu was the key.

She sent a message to Su Zhiwei, asking him to keep an eye on Mother Qiu and Teng Fan's son. Next, she would start with this person and make Mother Qiu betray the old lady.

After explaining everything to Su Zhiwei, Jiang Zhinian felt a little more relaxed.

The next day was New Year's Day, and people set off firecrackers early in the morning.

When Jiang Zhinian woke up, he looked a little dazed. He didn't expect time to pass so quickly.

However, seeing that the couplets and window decorations have been pasted up and the lanterns have been hung up, the whole yard is filled with a festive atmosphere.

Just listening to the sound of firecrackers and watching these, Jiang Zhinian smiled.

After everyone had breakfast, they prepared to make lunch.

Before lunch, Jiang Zhinian set up an altar and burned incense for the ancestors of the Wei family.

In the afternoon, Uncle Hong and Aunt Lin's son, daughter-in-law, grandson all came over, bringing a lot of things and setting off a lot of firecrackers.

After eating dumplings in the evening, we stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.

Jiang Zhinian sat in the study reading a book, listening to the sound of firecrackers.

At about 10 o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on the door.

When Uncle Hong opened the door, he was stunned to see a person in black robes in front of him. The person had a face as beautiful as a painting, and one look at her was enough to make people so stunned that they couldn't recover.

And the noble aura he exudes shows that he is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Old man, I am an old friend of Miss Jiang. Could you please let me know?"

Naturally, Uncle Hong did not dare to be negligent and quickly asked Mother Lin to go to the inner courtyard to pass on the message.

Mother Lin informed Lian Qiao, who then went to the study to tell Jiang Zhinian.

Jiang Zhinian was stunned for a moment. When he put on his clothes and came out of the house, his heart almost skipped a beat when he saw Yan Jiyu standing at the door.

His eyes brightened.

For her, it was really a surprise to see Yan Jiyou during a festival like the Chinese New Year.

But she didn't dare reveal the emotions in her heart.

"His Royal Highness!"

"Just call me by my first name in private."

Jiang Zhinian's heart beat uncontrollably when he heard these words.

"This is a snack I brought back from the palace. It tastes good. You can try it."

As he spoke, Yan Jiyou handed the food box containing snacks to Jiang Zhinian.

Jiang Zhinian came back to his senses and asked, "Did you just come back from the palace?"

"Didn't you eat enough? I'll go to the kitchen and cook some dumplings for you!"

Jiang Zhinian was instinctively worried about Yan Jiyou, and couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.

Yan Jiyou looked at her with a smile and said, "It's okay, I've already eaten, no need to worry."

"It's still early at midnight, do you want to go to the painted boat to stay up all night?"

“It’ll be more lively over there.”

Yan Jiyou was afraid that Jiang Zhinian would be bored, so he thought of taking her to the pleasure boat to play for a while.

Jiang Zhinian knew that many noble families would like to charter a pleasure boat and go boating on East Lake to celebrate the New Year.

There are constant fireworks and firecrackers over there.

She had only heard of it, and had never experienced it.

"Is it really possible?"

Yan Jiyou's identity is clear. If people knew that she was with him, it would not be right for him.

Yan Jiyou said: "Of course."

"Don't you need to go to the palace again?"

Jiang Zhinian instinctively considered Yan Jiyou's position.

Yan Jiyou said in a gentle voice: "The palace banquet is over. I will stay here in the villa tonight."

"It just so happens that I have a house right next door!"

Yan Jiyou pointed to the house next to Jiang Zhinian's house.

Jiang Zhinian was stunned, then suddenly realized, "No wonder this house was the only one that was empty when Mother Lin delivered tofu to the neighbors. It turned out to be your house."

This was something she could never have imagined.

When Jiang Zhinian thought about being neighbors with Yan Jiyou now, he felt an indescribable subtle feeling in his heart.

Expecting nervous fear.

She would only feel upset when it was related to him.

Yan Jiyou had never expected that he would become a neighbor of Jiang Zhinian in this house.

Yan Jiyou's expression was as gentle as water, and he said gently: "Try tofu next time."

"it is good."

"Want to go out?"

Yan Jiyou looked at Jiang Zhinian with gentle eyes, as if respecting all her thoughts.

This kind of eye contact can make people feel like spring breeze.

It feels like the whole body is surrounded by warmth.

Jiang Zhinian blinked and nodded, "Okay."

Faced with such an inclusive and gentle extension, she couldn't say no.

"Well, let me clean up first. It's cold outside. Come in and sit down!"

"it is good."

Jiang Zhinian took Yan Jiyou into the study first.

"Please sit down for a while and read these books. I'll go clean them up!"

"Okay, no rush!"

Yan Jiyou sat in the study, looking at Jiang Zhinian's notes on the table.

Her handwriting is very good, like flowing clouds and running water, majestic and majestic, different from the silk flower script popular among women nowadays.

But there is a sharp edge hidden in the words, and if you look closely, you can see a hint of murderous intent.

Yan Jiyou watched, and his heart was slightly moved when he thought of what she had experienced.

Looking more closely, the content above is her next business plan.

She is planning to open Yunlailou in various states.

Thinking of Yunlailou, which had been doing booming business not long after its opening, Yan Jiyou smiled elegantly.

Only she could come up with so many ideas.

Yunlailou’s bean sprouts and tofu dishes, these two unique ingredients, surpass those of other restaurants.

Vegetables are scarce in winter, and people are already tired of eating the same few vegetables on a daily basis. They will like it more if they switch to fresh ingredients.

What's more, tofu and bean sprouts are really good.

Jiang Zhinian had previously asked the imperial physician Miao to send some to him.

It really tastes great.

Other restaurants were closed during the Chinese New Year, but her restaurant received a lot of business.

It was the first time for him to hear that he could order a New Year’s Eve dinner.

Soon, Jiang Zhinian packed up, dressed warmly, and put on a hat.

"Packed up?"

"Ah."

"Let's go!"

"it is good."

Yan Jiyou and Jiang Zhinian went out.

Yan Jiyou also specially had someone prepare a low-key carriage so that his identity could not be revealed.

When they arrived at the lake, Jiang Zhinian got off the carriage and saw what was happening outside through his hat.

There are constant firecrackers and fireworks here, lanterns are hung on both sides, and there are many pleasure boats. It is as lively as daytime.

There are small stalls selling various snacks on both sides, with a strong flavor of fireworks.

"I didn't expect it to be so lively here?"

Yan Jiyou was afraid that Jiang Zhinian would be bored and lonely staying in the house, so he brought her here.

In such a lively environment, she probably wouldn't think too much about it.

"Well, is there anything you want to eat? I'll ask someone to buy it!"

Jiang Zhinian shook his head and said, "I'm full tonight, so I'll just take a look."

With her status, if she were to go shopping with Yan Jiyou in public and be seen or discovered by others, it would be bad for Yan Jiyou.

But just by looking at it, her mood brightened.

“It’s very lively here.”

She remembered that when she was in the Marquis' Mansion before, she had heard of this place and wanted Murong Chuan to bring her here.

But Murong Chuan always said it was against the rules.

It is said that we should stay at home to celebrate the New Year.

But she knew that Yan Jiyou brought her here because he was afraid that she would be lonely and bored.

I have to say, her mood always improves whenever Yan Jiyou appears.

Especially when looking at the bustling atmosphere in front of her, she had a feeling that it was unreal.
