Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

After all, tomorrow is New Year's! All day today, the streets and alleys of Jingcheng had long been decorated in bright red and bustling with festivity, with huge red lanterns hanging everywhere, so joyous!!!

It's just that it's still daytime now, so those lanterns haven't been lit yet, but even seeing them from afar, one feels a particularly strong festive atmosphere..

Qianqian and Shangguan Xingyu went out shopping early in the morning! First they went to the Jishi to pick out a pretty set of clothing for Xiao Jing'er, and also selected some fun little toys for the little one; then, the two rushed to the men's clothing shop without stopping, carefully selecting a brand-new set of fine robes to give to Yan Si.

Of course, Qianqian herself hadn't forgotten to bring a gift for her beloved—Su Muchun—she specially chose a refined and appropriate new outfit as a New Year's gift for him.

After all these things to buy were properly taken care of, the two then walked into a women's clothing store with satisfaction, beginning to try on all sorts of pretty skirts... Finally, after careful selection, each of them bought a set of clothes they were pleased with!

After the three returned to An Wangfu in high spirits, Qianqian immediately instructed Hua Hua to take the clothes to Su Muchun's place.

As night gradually fell, the sky grew darker and darker. Today, Su Muchun finished his shift early, he quickly hurried back to his residence, put on the brand-new clothes Qianqian had specially bought for him, then rushed toward An Wangfu without stopping.

These past days, Su Muchun frequently visited An Wangfu and was already very familiar with the place. Compared to staying at home doing nothing, he was more willing to arrive at An Wangfu early to see if there was anything he could help with.

At this time, Xiao Ding was driving the carriage, slowly heading toward An Wangfu along the set route. As the wheels rolled, the sound of horse hooves echoed along both sides of the road.

Not long after, the carriage smoothly arrived at the entrance of An Wangfu, and Su Muchun reached the Front Hall without any obstruction.

Upon hearing the news that Su Muchun had arrived, Qianqian was anxious, and hurriedly urged Mantou to quickly help her with some grooming.

In no time, Qianqian rushed to the Front Hall in a flurry. Just as she stepped across the threshold of the Front Hall, she saw Su Muchun seated there at a glance, and eagerly asked: "Eh, why did you come so early?"

Su Muchun smiled slightly and replied softly: "I thought I'd come early to see if there's anything I can lend a hand with.",

Qianqian had a faint smile on her lips and said softly: "Even if there is, how could my mother bear to let you do it?"

Hearing this, Su Muchun's face flushed with a barely noticeable blush, he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and explained in a low voice: "I just felt there are more people today, and your two elder sisters and brother-in-law have also returned together. If I come too late, I'm afraid it would leave a bad impression on everyone..."

Qianqian nodded understandingly and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, my two elder sisters dote on me very much! So you really don't need to worry about these things~"

However, at this moment Su Muchun secretly thought to himself: The more they dote on you, the less friendly their attitude toward me might become...

Just as the two were chatting happily, Qianqian naturally asked about Luo Shun's recent situation. Su Muchun thought for a moment and replied: "Hmm... He used to often bury himself in the Shufang studying hard, but a few days ago, he mentioned going out to buy books. As a result, he happened to meet a woman with similar interests at the Bookstore, and the two had a heated discussion around those books. Next..."

Speaking to this point, Su Muchun suddenly stopped talking, hesitating. And Qianqian, who had been listening intently beside him, couldn't help but ask: "Then what? What happened in the end?"

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice like an oriole leaving the valley came from Outside—it turned out to be An Wangfei who had arrived. Only heard her call softly: "Xiao Su, why did you finish your shift and return home so early today?"

Su Muchun quickly stood up upon hearing the voice and prepared to perform a standard bow to An Wangfei, but An Wangfei hurriedly waved her hand to stop him: "Aiya! We're all family, why so many formalities?"

Hearing this, Su Muchun no longer insisted and smiled at An Wangfei: "Thank you, Aunt, for your concern. The Emperor issued an Imperial Edict saying today is the beginning of the New Year, specially allowing everyone to finish work early and go home to celebrate the festival. So except for leaving a few highly skilled imperial guards, everyone else has already gone home to reunite with their families."

An Wangfei nodded slightly upon hearing this to show she understood, then turned to look at Su Muchun and asked gently: "Is that so, then you can rest well. Serving in the Gong must be tiring, right?"

Su Muchun quickly replied: "It's fine, the country has been relatively stable recently, and the Gong is also relatively safe!" An Wangfei smiled lightly and replied: "That's good. By the way, your uncle has always been talking about finding an opportunity to spar with you. It just so happens he's free today. Why don't the two of you take this opportunity to have a match?"

Su Muchun hesitated slightly upon hearing this, then asked: "Is Uncle at the Liu Fu right now?" At this moment, Qianqian beside him interjected and answered: "Mm hm hm! Father must be reading in the Shufang right now. Let's go, A Ren, I'll take you to find him."

Before her voice faded, Qianqian grabbed Su Muchun's sleeve and pulled hard, without explanation forcibly dragging him up from the seat, then rushed toward An Wang's Shufang like a swift wind.

Seeing this scene before her eyes, An Wangfei couldn't help but show an expression of being both amused and helpless.

Not long after, the two arrived at the entrance of the Shufang. Only heard "knock knock knock" a few crisp knocking sounds, then An Wang's low voice came from Inside: "Come in!"

After receiving permission, Qianqian gently pushed open the door and walked in with light steps. Just as she entered the Room, she eagerly asked: "Father, are you busy right now?"

An Wang put down the book in his hand, raised his head, looked at Qianqian and smiled as he answered: "Nothing to do, just casually reading some books."

Hearing this, Qianqian's face lit up with joy, she quickly pulled Su Muchun who was standing beside her, and excitedly said to An Wang: "Father, A Ren is here! If you have time right now, why not spar with Brother A Ren? I want to watch."
