With so many servants in the room, I wonder if they heard anything...

If the servants heard this, she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

Pei Shushu secretly glanced at the servants who were eating their New Year's Eve dinner.

The servants didn't look at her.

The Fourth Miss has visited the Young Lady's courtyard more than once or twice, and she has previously tried various ways to remind them of the strict rules of the Young Lady's clan banquet.

Therefore, he is not on the wife's side.

Since she was a friend, not an enemy, no one was wary of her.

Even with her arrival, Jiang Shuwan still let them eat and drink as usual.

Everyone focused on eating and didn't pay much attention to her.

"Alright, alright, don't worry, no one heard us."

"Sit down."

Although the little girl was impulsive and misunderstood that she was reading pornographic books, her actions were for her own good.

Jiang Shuwan didn't make things difficult for her. She pulled Pei Shushu down to sit and let her experience the charm of the heated kang bed.

Of the three mistresses of the Marquis's household, she was the youngest and did not manage the household affairs.

But her share as the Crown Prince's wife is here, even though the price of charcoal has skyrocketed this month.

Her charcoal fire was still burning brightly, so she wouldn't get cold.

But a charcoal brazier is nowhere near as comfortable as a heated kang bed.

A charcoal brazier only provides warmth to a small area, even though her room is large.

To raise the temperature of the entire room to a comfortable level, you need to place more charcoal braziers.

However, if too many charcoal braziers are placed, it becomes inconvenient to walk around.

Burning charcoal can also easily produce carbon monoxide, which can cause poisoning and death if one is not careful.

It's quite inconvenient.

Heating a kang (heated brick bed) is different; it saves money, and once a kang is heated, the entire tatami area becomes warm and cozy.

"Please sit down."

"Try my tatami mat."

Jiang Shuwan warmly invited Pei Shushu to experience the tatami mats.

Of course, she also lit the charcoal brazier.

After all, with so many servants in the house, it was impossible not to light charcoal for the New Year's Eve dinner in such cold weather.

She loves breathing fresh air, and even in the dead of winter, she often opens the window to watch the snow falling outside.

Therefore, the servants simply set out the New Year's Eve dinner for her on the tatami mat tonight.

The kang (heated brick bed) was also heated to keep her warm.

This way, she can eat and drink while watching the snow scene outside the window without getting cold.

Pei Shushu has definitely never experienced the joy of a heated kang bed.

Jiang Shuwan pressed Pei Shushu's shoulder to make her sit down.

"I don't need it, I don't need it..."

Pei Shushu was still struggling, but as soon as her buttocks touched the tatami, she was conquered by its warmth.

Why is it so warm!

Pei Shushu was shocked.

Jiang Shuwan's tatami mat is shaped like a chaise longue, and she also has a chaise longue in her room.

She usually sat on the chaise longue, and the servants would give her a hot water bottle to keep warm, plus a hand warmer.

That would normally be warm enough, but this year it's been exceptionally cold.

The weather this year has been strange; starting in February, it snowed heavily for more than half a month.

Now, heavy snow is falling again outside, like goose feathers, softly pattering down, with the old snow falling before the new snow has melted.

People were shivering from the cold, and one or two hot water bottles were not enough.

Jiang Shuwan's tatami mat is quite peculiar; there isn't a single hot water bottle, yet the entire mat is very warm.

Even the corners and edges were pleasantly warm, with no trace of cold.

Pei Shumei couldn't help but rub against the tatami mat.

The warm air felt like thousands of threads, gently wrapping around her body.

Her buttocks seemed rooted to the spot, unwilling to lift them even slightly.

Oh my god!

This is so warm!

It's as warm as the underfloor heating in the old lady's house.

No wonder poor people can survive the cold winter even if they can't afford to burn charcoal.

This kang (heated brick bed) was so warm...

Seeing Pei Shushu's infatuated expression, Jiang Shuwan knew that she was captivated by the charm of the heated kang bed.

In the dead of winter, no one dislikes a heated kang bed.

She used to be from the south, where there were no heated brick beds, so she preferred to use electric blankets.

Electric blankets and heated brick beds have similar effects, and are even more comfortable than air conditioners.

After all, air conditioning can't provide the same warmth that makes every corner of the bed warm the moment you get in.

The heated brick bed is truly one of the greatest inventions in the world.

Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?

The Marquis's residence has strict rules, and although a New Year's Eve dinner is not as formal as a clan banquet, there are still many rules and etiquette to follow.

In addition, women from noble families in this era considered thinness to be beautiful.

As the saying goes, "Huanhuan's waist is as graceful as that of a woman from the Chu palace."

They all have small appetites, and they only eat a few bites before stopping.

I'm afraid of being labeled a glutton if I eat even one more bite.

No wonder people can't get enough to eat like that.

For example, her, whether it was the last clan banquet or today's New Year's Eve dinner.

She wasn't full.

She didn't believe Pei Shushu was full.

Pei Shushu was indeed not full; her meals were always eaten at regular times and in fixed quantities.

They eat two meals a day, and the amount they eat is fixed.

Sometimes when I'm hungry, I'll eat a couple of snacks to calm my nerves.

She's lived like this all these years, and all the wealthy young ladies she knows are the same.

But this winter, for some reason, she was unusually hungry.

She ate the same amount as in previous years.

Pei Shushu stared at the table full of food on the tatami mat, swallowing hard as she tried to understand why she was so hungry.

Besides the family reunion dinner at noon, Mingming ate three more pastries when she got back.

There's one more piece than usual.

It didn't fill me up at all; my stomach was growling with hunger, which made me feel really uncomfortable. It was so strange.

Jiang Shuwan knew the reason; Pei Shushu was like this entirely because it had been too cold these days.

Animals burn fat and energy to keep warm in order to resist the cold.
