Chapter 198
This is the difference between Sheng Yixuan and Zhang Peng. If you want to find someone to spend your life with, you must have the same values and soul mates. Although Yin Zijin and Sheng Yixuan are very different in age, their souls are compatible and their values are the same, which is enough.
In the blink of an eye, a whole half month passed. During this period, Yin Zijin had been trapped in her exquisite yet slightly cramped boudoir, never stepping out of the door. They said that she could rest and recuperate, but in reality she was under house arrest.
During these days, Yin Zijin could only look through the small window at the snow and the yellowed bamboo outside, her heart filled with helplessness and boredom. At night, I would go into my own space and tinker with some new gadgets, or watch Douyin on my phone to relieve boredom.
Finally, the year draws to a close. On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, every household is busy dusting and sweeping the house according to traditional customs, preparing to welcome the New Year. Yin Zijin finally walked out of her boudoir, but still couldn't go down to the second-floor attic.
Although the attic was not high, it was like a natural chasm that could not be crossed. These days, Yin Zijin's body has almost recovered. In addition to A Tian's frequent relief treatment, when Yin Zijin really can't bear it anymore, he will also use the water from the spiritual spring for treatment.
When Yin Zijin slowly pushed open the door that had been closed for a long time, a breath of fresh air blew in his face, making him feel refreshed. Yin Zijin walked towards Hongmeixuan with her three-inch golden lotus steps.
As the year draws to a close, the biting cold wind seems to have become much softer, and the world seems to be injected with a mysterious and warm power, allowing everything to gradually regain its former vitality.
The servants in the mansion started to act early. They were all energetic, quick and busy in an orderly manner. Some held brooms and swept every corner carefully; some rolled up their sleeves and wiped the doors, windows, tables and chairs diligently.
Others were busy sorting out the mountains of items in the warehouse and placing them neatly. The whole yard was filled with laughter and noisy sounds. Although everyone was tired and sweating, their faces were filled with smiles of happiness and satisfaction. Because for them, this is not just a simple spring cleaning, but also represents their expectations and good wishes for the New Year.
As Yin Zijin walked by, maids and old women came to greet him from time to time along the way, and they all bowed slightly and saluted respectfully. Yin Zijin just nodded slightly, without stopping, and walked straight towards Hongmeixuan.
As soon as I stepped into the gate of Hongmeixuan, I heard a silver bell-like laughter coming from inside. I saw Yin Ziniu sitting by the window, holding a small pair of exquisite scissors in her hand, concentrating on trimming the red paper in her hand.
Hearing footsteps, she raised her head quickly and saw Yin Zijin walking into the yard. She immediately put down her scissors, stood up with a look of joy on her face, held high the paper-cut she had just finished, and shouted happily: "Zijin, come and have a look! Come and see how my paper-cut is!"
Seeing this, Yin Zijin couldn't help but smile gently. He quickened his pace and walked in front of Yin Ziniu. Yin Zijin happily picked up the exquisite paper-cut and examined it carefully. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Niao Niao, I didn't expect your paper-cutting skills to be so superb! Look at this little rabbit, it looks like it's about to jump out of the paper!
Its round eyes, playful and cute three-petal mouth, and short furry tail, every detail is portrayed by you to be vivid and lifelike! "As she spoke, she gently stroked the outline of the little rabbit on the window grille with her fingers, her eyes full of appreciation and surprise.
Yin Ziniu said gloomily: "Zijin, I'm too bored. I'll become more skilled after cutting more.
Zijin, come and cut it with me. After cutting it, we can stick it on the window on New Year’s Eve. It will definitely look nice…”

In the Yime Courtyard, Zhang was directing the servants to clean the house and was very busy at the moment. In addition, maids and servants from the various courtyards of the inner house would come to Zhang from time to time to report the income and expenditure of each courtyard.
Soon, Nanny Liu walked up to Zhang anxiously and whispered with her head down. Zhang was shocked when she heard this. She said quickly, "Madame Liu, help me change my clothes. Let's go to the front yard."
Zhang frowned slightly, and walked without stopping. She turned her head and looked at Madam Liu beside her, and asked anxiously, "Madam Liu, it's almost the end of the year, and the palace should be busy preparing for the New Year. Why are eunuchs coming here at this time? Have you found out what happened?"
Madam Liu's face was slightly solemn. She sighed and replied, "Madam, you may not know that as soon as I heard the news, I hurried to the front yard. After much effort, I finally found an opportunity to secretly slip some silver to the eunuch. After much persuasion, I finally got some information out of him."
At this point, Madam Liu paused for a moment, then lowered her voice and continued, "I heard from the eunuch that they came here on the orders of Princess Anding. They said they wanted to invite our Sixth Young Lady to the palace. They also said that the Sixth Young Lady was involved in a murder case and was a crucial witness, so the Sixth Young Lady had to be present in person.
This matter has caused a big stir, involving the princess and her husband, and it is said that the Imperial Clan Court, the three judicial departments (the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Censorate), the emperor and the empress are all present, and they are jointly trying the case..."
After hearing what Madam Liu said, Zhang was startled, as if an invisible hand had tightly grasped her heart, causing her heart to skip a beat. Her originally dignified and beautiful face was slightly distorted by surprise and anger, her eyebrows were raised and her beautiful eyes were wide open.
I saw her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and her knuckles turned white due to excessive force. Then, she angrily ordered Aunt Liu beside her: "Aunt Liu! Send someone to invite the Sixth Miss to me immediately! Remember, you must act quickly and there must not be any delay!
These six girls are so bold! He had been away from home for eight years, and those eight years had really made his character as wild and unruly as a wild horse. Normally, "women" like him would not have their feet bound, and should be well taken care of in the boudoir, learning music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework and embroidery every day, and becoming a gentle and quiet lady from a noble family.
How come he is involved in such a serious case now? He really needs to be disciplined properly. "Her voice was sharp and rapid, filled with uncontrollable anger.
