Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Yan Shuang'er heard Qianqian's string of mutterings and couldn't help but find it a little amusing. Seeing that Qianqian was almost about to bless everyone she knew, she couldn't help but speak up: "Qianqian, you don't need to list them one by one; you can just say you hope the Bodhisattva blesses everyone around you."

However, Qianqian raised her head, blinking her clear, bright eyes, and answered seriously: "But Qianqian worries the Bodhisattva might accidentally forget someone, so it's safer to name them one by one." After speaking, she lowered her head again, reciting the remaining names one by one as if chanting sutras.

Yan Shuang'er looked at the adorable and stubborn Qianqian, shook her head helplessly, but her face was filled with an indulgent smile. She thought to herself that perhaps it was precisely because of Qianqian's innocence and sincere kindness that the Bodhisattva was more willing to protect them,

After the group respectfully paid their respects to the kind-eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva, they went devoutly to pay their respects to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. They believed this would bring them blessings of peace, prosperity, and smooth living. Once the four had finished their worship in turn, they began preparing to descend the mountain.

The road they took down the mountain was not the old path they had come by, but another road on the other side. Although the path was different, the neatly arranged steps were exactly the same, with no changes. Not long after, everyone smoothly reached the foot of the mountain. Looking at the towering peaks behind them, Qianqian couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my! Indeed, going down the mountain is easy, going up is hard!" Yan Shuang'er beside her heard this and couldn't help but giggle, teasing: "Oh ho, you've gained some insight?" The others also laughed upon hearing this.

After descending the mountain, the group quickly boarded the carriage that had been waiting there and hurried home all the way. When they arrived home it was noon. After a hearty lunch, everyone felt a bit tired, so they each returned to their rooms for a nap.

After all, tonight there would be a lively flower lantern viewing, a cheerful bonfire party, and they would stay up together to welcome the new year. Therefore, everyone hoped to make good use of this noon time to rest well and recharge for the exciting night ahead.

Without realizing it, the few people slept soundly until the Shen hour before slowly waking up. After waking, Qianqian freshened up a bit and then impatiently pulled Yan Shuang'er to go to the Princess Consort's courtyard together.

When the two arrived in the courtyard, they saw the Princess Consort sitting at the table, smiling at them. Not long after, a servant hurriedly came to report: "Reporting to the Princess Consort, the Eldest Miss and her son-in-law have arrived!" The Princess Consort heard this and immediately beamed with joy, quickly saying: "Quickly, invite them in!"

The words had barely fallen when Yan Xiner was seen holding the adorable Zhouzhou, with Ai Chun following carefully behind, the three walking side by side slowly.

Yan Xiner had just stepped through the room door when she impatiently called out: "Mother Consort, Happy New Year!" Her voice was clear and pleasant, as melodious as an oriole leaving the valley. The Princess Consort, seeing this, stood up happily and responded: "Happy, happy, my precious daughter!"

Speaking, the Princess Consort gently took out an exquisite red packet from her bosom, filled with plump New Year's money, and handed it to Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou's round eyes lit up instantly; he excitedly stretched out his chubby little hand, tightly clutching the red packet, making happy babbling sounds in his mouth, while waving his arms joyfully, as if showing off his new harvest to everyone.

Qianqian beside her, seeing this, quickly instructed the servant Mantou beside her to go to Wufangyuan and fetch the pretty small clothes she had specially bought for Zhouzhou yesterday.

After Ai Chun smiled and greeted everyone in the room one by one, she sat down with them. Everyone sat together, cracking crisp and tasty melon seeds, sipping steaming, fragrant tea, the atmosphere very harmonious and warm.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door; it turned out to be Yan Wang, Yan Jie, and Yan Si, the three brothers, coming together. These few cared very much for Yan Xiner; today, hearing she had returned to the manor to pay New Year's respects, they came together by mutual agreement to take this opportunity to visit.

After the three entered the room, they first exchanged warm greetings, then took turns holding and playing with Zhouzhou. Zhouzhou was surrounded by the adults' affection, laughing nonstop, his silver-bell-like laughter echoing throughout the room, filling everyone's heart with joy and happiness.

Yan Si also thoughtfully prepared a New Year's gift for the adorable Zhouzhou, stuffing it into Zhouzhou's little hand. Just then, Mantou returned; Qianqian, seeing this, quickly stepped forward and took the small cloth bundle from Mantou's hand.

Then, full of joy, she ran to Yan Xiner, raised her little face, and proudly said: "Eldest Sister, look quickly! This is a New Year's gift that Third Sister and I carefully prepared for Zhouzhou together~"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Yan Xiner's eyes; she smiled and asked: "Really? Then let me see what treasures are inside." Even Zhouzhou, who was being held in Yan Si's arms at this moment, couldn't help but stretch his little neck, blinking his watery big eyes, curiously staring at that mysterious small cloth bundle.

Qianqian mischievously blinked her eyes and said mysteriously: "Hehe, Eldest Sister, you'll know if you open it and look!" Saying this, she gently handed the small cloth bundle into Yan Xiner's hand.

After Yan Xiner took the cloth bundle, she slowly placed it on the table, then carefully began to untie the butterfly bow tied on it. As the butterfly bow was loosened bit by bit, the opening of the small cloth bundle gradually opened, and the things wrapped inside were finally revealed to everyone's eyes.

First coming into view was a pair of exquisite tiger-head shoes; the surface of the shoes was embroidered with lifelike tiger patterns, the sharp claws, spirited eyes, and imposing demeanor as if they would jump off the shoes in the next second.

Next was an equally adorable tiger-head hat; the tiger ears on the hat stood high, the fluffy material making people want to reach out and touch it. Under the tiger-head hat, three colorful small clothes were neatly stacked.

These small clothes were blue, yellow, and green respectively; the collar and cuffs of each piece of clothing were trimmed with a circle of delicate white lace, looking especially exquisite.
