~ YUE WANG WILL NOT PREPARE FOR THE NEW YEAR CEREMONY ~
When Mu Yunyao returned home, she ate a dumpling as if not enjoying it. This situation also made Su Qing worry, thinking that something had happened. “Yao’er, did you have an unpleasant conversation with that Master Ning? Or is it that he wants to take back Jin Xiu Garden?”
Mu Yunyao came back to her senses. Seeing the wrinkles on Su Qing’s eyebrows, she hurriedly soothed Su Qing, “Nothing much. Now that Jin Xiu Garden is in full swing and has also helped him earn a lot of silver taels, why would he suddenly take the garden back?”
“Then why does mother keep feeling that you have something on your mind? Before, when Fourth Master Ning was not here, you happily played with Jin Lan and the rest on the ice. Afterward, when you saw him, you looked as if you were busy with something. Tell Mother the truth. Even if there is any difficulty, you must let us pass it together.”
Looking at Su Qing’s worried expression, Mu Yunyao had the impulse to reveal Yue Wang’s identity, but she understood Su Qing’s character. Once she knew who Yue Wang was, her action would reveal his identity and make things even more troublesome.
“Mother, don’t worry. Actually, this isn’t related to Fourth Master Ning. I suddenly thought of the New Year’s gift sent to the Capital. Tomorrow, at the New Year’s Eve banquet, the Emperor will see the New Year’s gift. I don’t know if he likes it or not?”
Su Qing saw that her expression didn’t seem fake and couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t worry. Mother saw you embroider the New Year’s gift stitch after stitch, and it was without the slightest flaw. His Majesty will definitely like it.”
Mu Yunyao nodded and acted as if she was relieved, “That’s good. With Mother’s words, I’m relieved.”
“And here I was wondering what caused you to be worried. It turns out that you would be so concerned about gains and losses.” Usually, she saw Yao’er had confidence in herself. But now, seeing her act so stubborn in such a small matter, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of affection towards her.
“Isn’t this an important matter? Naturally, I can’t help but be worried.”
“But now that things are settled, worrying about it is useless. Why bother finding trouble with yourself?”
Mu Yunyao stared blankly momentarily before remembering what Su Qing had said. The large stone hanging in her heart returned to the ground gradually.
Regardless of why Yue Wang came here this time, he had already come anyway, so his life experience could not change. If he really found out about something, she only needed to think of a way to save it. Why worry about it in advance? It’s not good for years to be disturbed.
“Yes, I understand. Thank you, Mother, for your guidance.”
Su Qing tapped the center of her brows. “If you understand, then please make your mother happy. It’s the New Year, don’t make a face. Otherwise, you’ll have to worry about the rest of the year.”
Mu Yunyao stood up and bowed like she was a proper person, “Yes, I will follow the instructions of Mother.”
After she thought it through, Mu Yunyao decided to forget about Yue Wang. After she woke up, it was New Year’s Eve.
As soon as she got up, she felt a vast expanse of white outside the window. When she opened the window, she saw that the yard had been coated with a thick layer of snow and the trees covered with white. When the wind blew, the snow fell, just like a pear blossom rain. She could not help but read: “Suddenly, it’s like the spring breeze all night, thousands of trees and pear blossom...”
Jin Qiao carried a basin of water and walked in with Jin Lan. Hearing Mu Yunyao’s poem, she couldn’t help but find it strange, “Miss, when you went to rest at night, the snow started falling. It had been snowing all night, and it just stopped just now. Isn’t there no pear blossoms to appreciate in this cold weather?”
Mu Yunyao pointed out the window and turned around to look at her with a smile. “Look at those trees. Do they look like they are full of pear blossoms?”
Jin Qiao stretched her neck to look, “When the Young Miss says it, it looks like it! Ah, so Miss was talking about the snow. I thought you were talking about the spring scenery while listening to the spring breeze and the pear blossom!”
Mu Yunyao smiled and looked at the snow in the courtyard. She couldn’t help but feel interested, “How about we call Jin Pei and the others over later, and we can make a snowman in the courtyard?”
“Alright, it’s not easy in Jiangnan to see such heavy snow. This servant will help as well.”
“Okay, then we’ll pile up the snowman in the front yard. We’ll put out firecrackers and enjoy the fireworks when the night is over. If there’s a snowman, we can also go along with the scenery.”
“Alright, we’ll listen to Young Miss.”
After Mu Yunyao finished her breakfast, she told Su Qing she would bring people to the front yard. She picked up a shovel, dustpan, broom, and the like to pile up the snow.
Nan’er, Ah Mao, and Li’er are all dressed in plump clothes and go back and forth in the snow to help them. They accidentally fell like a rolling gourd, but they didn’t mind. They got up and let out a series of laughter.
Mu Yunyao originally wanted to help but was stopped by Jin Lan and Jin Qiao, who placed thick gloves on her hand and ordered her to stand at the side. At first, she was quite interested in being the commander. However, after seeing that she wasn’t as fast as Jin Lan and the others, she couldn’t help kicking the snow with some boredom.
Nearby, Nan’er and Ah Mao chased each other as they played snowball. She couldn’t help but bend down to make a ball and then throw it towards Jin Lan. But she didn’t expect her clothes to be so heavy and was unsure when she threw them. The snowball flew high above Jin Lan’s head with great strength and slammed straight out.
Steward Qin followed Yue Wang to the Su residence. When he entered the front yard, he saw everyone gather to make a snowman. He could not help but sigh: “It’s been a long time since we’ve seen such a lively scene.” Yue Wang’s gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Mu Yunyao. She wore a snow-white cloak, her black hair was like ink, and her eyes were like stars. She bent down with a ball of snow in her hand, and the corners of her lips smiled cunningly. It suddenly reminded him of the Snow Fox on the ice field in Western Guangdong. It was rumored that those Snow Foxs were exceptionally spiritual. If humans could cultivate their Taoism, they could transform into a human form to enchant everyone. If the rumors were true, then the Snow Fox that had taken human form would probably be the same as Mu Yunyao. As he was lost in thought, he saw Mu Yunyao’s snowball throw toward him. The bright smile on her face was even more touching than the surrounding ice and snow. He couldn’t help but reach out to catch it. Ice and snow melted in his palm, carrying a bone-piercing coldness. However, when he looked at Mu Yunyao’s smile, he felt a slight warmth in his heart.
When Mu Yunyao saw the snowball fall into Yue Wang’s hands, she was shocked and hurriedly went forward to pay her respects. “Greetings, Fourth Master Ning.”
Yue Wang regained his senses. The snowballs in his hands had already melted quite a bit. Seeing that Mu Yunyao was staring at his hands, he couldn’t help but stretch his hand to pass the snowball over. “Here.”
Mu Yunyao hurriedly took off her gloves and was about to go forward to catch them when she saw Yue Wang retract his hand. She slightly frowned in disapproval. “The weather is cold, so you shouldn’t be greedy while playing with the snow.”
Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment. She saw his gaze fixated on the rabbit leather gloves in her embrace. She stiffly wore the gloves on her hands before stepping forward to pick up the snowballs with her hands.
Yue Wang stretched his eyebrows. When he saw her two hands held onto each other, he thought the people in front of him were still more like mandarin duck cats. The Snow Fox had always been crafty. It would not be stupid enough to pick up the snowball directly with their hand. Steward Qin was grinning from ear to ear. He felt that in another two years, he might be able to serve his Young Master.
Mu Yunyao came back to her senses. Seeing the wrinkles on Su Qing’s eyebrows, she hurriedly soothed Su Qing, “Nothing much. Now that Jin Xiu Garden is in full swing and has also helped him earn a lot of silver taels, why would he suddenly take the garden back?”
