Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Only saw Qianqian, like a cheerful little bird, fly straight toward Yan Wang and tightly hug his arm, coquettishly asking: "Fourth Elder Brother, can you stay home a few more days this time?" Yan Wang smiled, looking at the lively and adorable younger sister before him, and gently replied: "This time I can stay home for a full seven days."

Qianqian, upon hearing this, instantly jumped for joy, cheering and saying: "That's simply wonderful! By the way, Fourth Elder Brother, there will be a grand bonfire banquet tomorrow night, and we must go together and have a great time!" Yan Wang smiled and nodded in agreement: "Alright!"

Beside them, Yan Shuang'er's gaze fell upon Yan Wang, and she said with full concern: "Yan Wang, looking at you these past days, you seem much sturdier than before! Not only is your body much stronger, but your height seems to have shot up by a large amount!"

Thinking back then, Yan Wang's figure had been somewhat thin. It was only because he was obsessed with martial arts, but if he trained after eating too much at every meal, his body would feel uncomfortable.

Thus, he naturally ate less on ordinary days. However, ever since entering Jun Ying, facing high-intensity exercise every day, especially receiving special attention from An Wang, Yan Wang would be hungry to the point of his chest sticking to his back after training each day, so his appetite naturally increased greatly.

Coincidentally, it was also a critical period for Yan Wang's growth and development. Indeed, his height was now nearly catching up to Yan Si!

Hearing Elder Sister's words, Yan Wang grinned and replied: "Mm, I have indeed grown a bit taller, and my appetite has also increased quite a lot."

At this moment, Qi Yu, standing beside them, couldn't help but cast his gaze toward Yan Wang, muttering with a mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred: "Oh my, I used to worry you wouldn't grow tall, who would have thought you'd grow so fast, you're about to be taller than me by a head, it's truly infuriating!"

Hearing this, Yan Wang raised his eyebrows and responded confidently: "Haha, this is called accumulating strength for a breakthrough! In my opinion, at most in another two months, I will absolutely be able to easily surpass you!"

Perhaps between men, there is always a hint of indescribable competitiveness. Just like that, several people gathered together talking and laughing, very lively.

During this period, Yan Wang even enthusiastically recounted to everyone the interesting stories he had experienced in Jun Ying, and everyone listened with rapt attention and great interest.

By night, Yan Si had also returned, and today was a special day for Yan Si. He had specially given himself a few days off, wanting to relax his mind and body properly.

Although customers coming to purchase items had been endless these past few days, some work was not extremely urgent and could be appropriately delayed. Yan Si felt he had been busy without stop during this period and indeed needed some time to adjust his state and accumulate strength.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was the next morning. Today was Yasu Jieri, with a joyous and harmonious atmosphere everywhere.

At dawn, Qianqian couldn't wait to crawl out of her warm bed. She quickly put on the new clothes she had carefully selected yesterday—a bright red Hong Xiao'ao, paired with a snow-white hat, like a little sprite gracefully emerging from a flower bush, lively and playful.

Not only that, Man Tou also specially styled two cute bun hairstyles for Qianqian and tied two bright red thin strings, making Qianqian look both full of festive cheer and charmingly adorable.

After Qianqian finished dressing, she and Yan Shuang'er enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast together. Then, the two held hands, happily heading toward the courtyard where the Princess Consort resided. Along the way, they talked and laughed, very lively. Of course, Qianqian did not forget the gift she had specially purchased for the Princess Consort yesterday.

As they just stepped into Yuan Men, they saw the Princess Consort seated in the front hall, clearly having dressed herself up carefully. She wore a light blue luxurious robe, her sleeves fluttering, every movement showing gentleness and grace; the pearl and jade hair ornaments on her head sparkled, further highlighting her beautiful face and elegant, noble bearing.

Seeing this, Qianqian excitedly ran forward quickly. She tightly held the snow-white soft fox fur scarf in her hand, running and cheerfully shouting: "Mother, Happy New Year! This beautiful scarf was specially selected by Qianqian for you!"

The Princess Consort saw from afar that her youngest daughter was holding a beautiful scarf, walking toward her with cheerful steps. Before the small figure could approach, the Princess Consort couldn't wait to step forward two paces, reaching out both hands to take the scarf, and said with concern: "Run slower, my precious daughter, don't fall!"

Only saw Qianqian excitedly run to the Princess Consort's front, lifting her small face, full of anticipation saying to the Princess Consort: "Mother, you quickly put it on to try!" The Princess Consort smiled, looking at her adorable daughter before her, naturally unwilling to dampen her enthusiasm, and immediately obediently wrapped the scarf around her neck.

This scarf seemed as if tailor-made for the Princess Consort, perfectly highlighting a bit of her playfulness and liveliness. The Princess Consort happily gently stroked the scarf with her hand, feeling its soft and warm texture, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This scarf is truly beautiful, and it feels wonderful to the touch!"

Saying this, a happy smile bloomed on her face, she turned to look at Qianqian, and gently thanked: "Thank you, my good daughter."

The words had just fallen when the Princess Consort seemed to remember something, reaching into her bosom to rummage for a moment, then took out an exquisite red envelope. She handed the red envelope to Qianqian, softly saying: "This is your New Year's money for you, hoping our Qianqian can be healthy and safe in the new year."

Qianqian happily took the red envelope and obediently thanked the Princess Consort: "Thank you, Mother!" At this time, Yan Shuang'er standing beside also stepped forward, respectfully saluting to Father King and Mother Consort for the New Year: "Father King, Mother Consort, Happy New Year, wishing you both a safe and smooth new year!"

The Princess Consort smiled and nodded, likewise taking out another red envelope from her bosom to give to Yan Shuang'er, kindly saying: "Good child, this is Mother Consort's New Year's money for you, wishing you everything goes as you wish in the new year."

It turned out that this New Year's money was quite particular! Legend has it that during these two days of the New Year, some mischievous little demons would come out to roam about, especially liking to catch children to eat them.

Therefore, elders would prepare New Year's money to suppress "evil spirits" for the children, praying to suppress those evil energies and bless the children to spend the whole year safe and sound.
