This incident was just a minor episode and no one took it seriously.

Time flies so fast, and winter is coming in the blink of an eye.

Nangong Yuan was arranging for the servants to hang lanterns, cut window flowers and write Spring Festival couplets in the house.

"Miss, Master Pei sent a lamp over and said he made it himself."

When Tao Zhu came with the gift, he looked a little teasing.

"Really? Take it out and let me see."

As soon as she saw the lantern, Nangong Yuan smiled.

"I didn't expect Pei Ji to be so skillful."

This is a hexagonal lantern. It not only has several poems written on it, but also has several landscape paintings on it. It looks elegant and beautiful.

"Mr. Pei is thoughtful. Even I can't make this lantern."

Tao Zhu has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and is not very good at needlework. She really avoids this kind of delicate work.

"Put it here. Hang it next to my bed at night. It really looks nice."

Nangong Yuan took the red paper arrow window decorations and cut out a bunch of them in just a few strokes.

The servants took the prepared rice paste and pasted it on, and the house looked very festive.

I don’t know if my brothers and sisters will come back this year. It would be great if they could go home for the New Year.

Nangong Yuan was thinking this when someone came from outside to deliver a message shortly afterwards.

"Miss, Miss Liu is here."

"Invite her in quickly."

Nangong Yuan put down the red paper and washed her hands.

"Sister, it's so lively here, are you all cutting paper-cuts?"

"Yeah, I had nothing to do today, so I made some small things. Why are you here?"

Liu Qingyue said: "Yuehui Pavilion is planning to hold an event during the winter solstice, host a small show or something, so I wanted to ask my sister if she has any good ideas."

"I'm not very good at this. Just do it on your own. If you need me, just ask."

Liu Qingyue smiled and said, "I know, but sister should also go out and play. How can we stay at home all the time?"

She clapped her hands, and the servant behind her came forward holding a box.

"This is the new winter clothing from Yuehui Pavilion. I saved it for you. Do you like it?"

"Of course I like everything Qingyue gave me."

Liu Qingyue smiled happily when she heard this: "As long as my sister likes it, I'll talk about it after I put it on."

Seeing this, Nangong Yuan had no choice but to get up and change clothes.

When she came out, Liu Qingyue's eyes widened.

"So beautiful, this dress looks so good on you, sister."

The dress was golden red, with a white fox fur collar and faintly visible gold thread flowers on the cuffs, which was incredibly beautiful.

The skirt was not thin, it was even quite thick, but Nangong Yuan was tall and did not look bulky at all in it.

"Qingyue is thoughtful. This dress must be troublesome to make."

"It's okay. Yuehui Pavilion has plenty of embroiderers."

In order to make beautiful clothes, the embroiderers in Yuehui Pavilion have a high monthly salary.

"Very good, I have good taste. Come on, put on this coat."

The fox fur is dark blue in color, and when paired with the golden red, it does not look dull, but rather very noble and dignified.

"It looks good. You are worthy of being my sister. You look good in anything you wear."

Nangong Yuan smiled helplessly: "Okay, stop focusing on dressing me up. Why didn't I make one for you?"

"Yes, I did, but I didn't wear it today. I'll wear it when we go out on New Year's Day."

"But there's a banquet in the palace that day, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come out."

"It's okay, we'll go out after the party is over."

That day, no one in the country locked their doors at night and it was very lively.

This is especially true in Kyoto, where it will last until early the next morning.

Liu Qingyue loves to play, so she prepared early.

She likes to make money and especially loves to have fun. She is really good at enjoying herself.

"Okay, let me take a look at the situation."

The two of them sat at the table. The weather was good today, so it wasn't too cold.

"Have some hot tea. I asked the kitchen to make some snacks and sweet soup. Fill your stomach first and have dinner in the evening before leaving."

Liu Qingyue nodded and agreed. No one in her family paid any attention to her, and there was chaos every day, so she was too lazy to stay any longer.

Fortunately, no one bothers her now, so Liu Qingyue hangs out in the shop all day and no one dares to say anything.

"By the way, sister, I heard that you are going to get engaged to Pei Ji?"

"Who said that?"

"It's just a rumor. I don't know who spread it."

Nangong Yuan curled her lips: "Just giving it a try, there is no sign yet."

"I see. I thought you really wanted to marry him."

"Why, what's wrong with Pei Ji?"

Liu Qingyue shook her head: "That's not the case. I just think that...he is not worthy of my sister."

She just thought so simply, and she didn't have any prejudice against Pei Ji.

"You haven't even gotten to know Pei Ji, so why do you think he's unworthy?"

"But I know you, sister. You are so beautiful, have great martial arts skills, and come from a good family. Isn't Pei Ji much inferior to you?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "You think too highly of me."

"That's right. If we go by personal ability, how can Pei Ji compare to you?"

Liu Qingyue always seemed to have a strange filter for her, and Nangong Yuan did not refute it.

"Pei Ji is a pretty good person, and he's very attentive."

"Who cares? If a man wants a wife, he has to be serious. Otherwise, how can a wife fall from the sky?"

Liu Qingyue bit her lip, thinking that this was what they should do.

Nangong Yuan felt that this made sense.

But she never accepted favors from others, so she didn't care.

"Sister, if you really like him, you have to test him carefully. Remember to call me when the time comes."

Nangong Yuan was helpless: "We haven't even started yet, we're just making contact first."

"Then I have to be prepared to see you. I can't let him catch you so easily."

Liu Qingyue looked like she had a lot of bad intentions to express.

Nangong Yuan was helpless about this.

"Let's not talk about him anymore. It's not important. Yuehui Pavilion is the one that needs our attention the most."

Liu Qingyue nodded: "Yes, yes, I have an idea, do you think it will work?"

She planned to invite people to perform at Yuehui Pavilion and make a name for herself with her jewelry and clothes.

How to do it specifically requires careful planning.

Nangong Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I can. I can ask people to build momentum. There will be a lot of people coming."

"Then I have to plan how to do it. It has to be novel and good-looking."

Liu Qingyue thought about this while eating the sweet soup.

As the New Year is approaching, there are a lot of social interactions and Mrs. Shen has been very busy recently.

After she finished her work, everyone started eating on time.

Mrs. Shen liked Liu Qingyue very much and did not look down on her just because she was born as a minor official of the fifth rank.

After dinner, Nangong Yuan asked someone to take her home.

"Sister, I'll go back first. I'll send someone to tell you when things are planned."

"Okay, tell me if you have anything to say."
