"Captain! No!"
Before the sparrow could stop her, it rushed forward.
But Qin Ange reacted much faster than him. He bent his knees and felt a gust of wind brush past his scalp, barely dodging it.
"Sister, what are you doing? Even if I can't get married, you can't murder me!"
Seeing that Qin Anmin was about to come up and fight again, he quickly shouted and retreated a meter away.
"You are... An Ge?"
Upon hearing the man's familiar voice, Qin Anmin paused in his slapping motion, looked him up and down, and stared wide-eyed.
It wasn't until the sparrow behind her confirmed again that she finally admitted that this was her ugly younger brother.
"Why are you dressing up as a ghost during the Chinese New Year?!"
She withdrew her attack and shouted a rebuke, feeling both shocked and angry.
Qin Ange's appearance was more frightening than any ghost she had ever dreamed of.
Do I look that bad?
Qin Ange lost confidence because of what he said, and turned around to run to the bronze mirror to look at herself.
The bronze mirror reflected a faint, twilight-like glow, and his face looked perfectly natural in it.
"You're much fairer than before?" He turned to look at the two of them, puzzled.
Those young masters all look good with powder on, so why does it look bad on him? Can't powder save his face?
Qin Ange was deeply shocked, and her mood plummeted.
He never used to wear powder, always thinking that if he wore powder and makeup like other men, he would look better. But judging from their reactions, he obviously didn't look good.
"...Young master, you just don't know how to do makeup. I believe that if you do it well, it will look beautiful..."
Seeing how down he was, Que'er quickly comforted him.
Qin Anmin understood his intention; it turned out that his younger brother finally wanted to be a man!
Then she needs to give him a good encouragement!
Thinking of this, Qin Anmin quickly put away his angry demeanor and put on a fawning face.
"Haha, Que'er is right. Look at you, your face is all patchy, it's not done well at all. Go to your brothers-in-laws' place later and learn from them. You'll look better if you do your makeup properly!"
She walked up to him with a laugh and patted him on the shoulder a few times, producing several dull thuds.
"Really?"
Seeing that both of them said so, Qin Ange suddenly felt that there was still a chance to save him.
"Yes!" The two nodded emphatically.
Qin Ange grinned instantly, his face full of excitement, and strode towards the door.
"Quickly, quickly! My brothers-in-law should all be up by now. I need to go and ask them for advice!"
"Hey! Young master, wash your face!"
Seeing that he was about to go out with that face, Que'er hurriedly pulled him back.
If he were to go out like this on the first day of the Lunar New Year and be seen by the servants in the mansion, they might say that the mansion is haunted!
Qin Anmin clearly understood the situation and joined in the persuasion.
"It's just after the New Year and everyone's busy at home, so your brothers-in-law probably won't have time to teach you. Let's wait a while. You can just wear your old clothes for now."
Qin Ange returned, somewhat disappointed, but still obediently went back to wash her face and change her clothes.
When he finished getting ready and came out, Qin Anmin was still there.
"It's getting late. We need to visit your brother-in-law's parents' home for the New Year today. Remember to behave properly, and don't do what happened last year: you kicked the shuttlecock into your brother-in-law's little brother's head, causing him to get a bump on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"
As the group walked along the cobblestone path leading to the lobby, Qin Anmin kept giving instructions to Qin Ange, who was lagging behind.
Remembering the mess he made at his mother-in-law's house last year, he looked bitter and resentful.
No matter how much Qin Anmin talked the whole way, until his mouth was dry, Qin Ange only occasionally hummed in agreement to show that he was listening, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.
"Sister, will we visit Ms. Su's family for the New Year this year?"
He suddenly asked.
Qin Anmin paused in his rambling and turned to look at him.
"Yes, I will go the day after tomorrow."
She didn't stop walking; after replying, she continued walking forward.
"oh!"
Upon hearing the answer, Qin Ange responded calmly, a wide smile spreading across his face.
Finally, I can see Ms. Su again!
...
On the first day of the new year, Su Qinghe, unusually, did not get up early for morning exercise, but instead slept in with Lin Xi until they naturally woke up.
Anyway, she has no relatives or friends in this world now. After her parents passed away, her relatives stopped contacting her because of her gambling addiction. She also doesn't need to go back to the maternal home of Lin Xi and Ji Yuan.
She doesn't need to visit relatives and friends everywhere during the New Year.
As for Qin Anmin, her only friend, although she didn't have any relatives of her own, he did have a mother-in-law.
Even if he doesn't visit each and every one of his husbands in the courtyard, he still has to go to the homes of at least the four pregnant husbands.
These few relationships alone are enough to keep her busy. If I were to visit her on the first or second day of the Lunar New Year, I probably wouldn't even get to see her, let alone offer New Year's greetings.
Su Qinghe squinted her eyes, enjoying this rare peaceful morning.
It snowed all night last night and it hasn't stopped yet.
Su Qinghe gently embraced the still-sleeping Lin Xi, quietly listening to the "rustling" sound of snow falling outside the window.
After spending a few days together, she had gotten used to Lin Xi's occasional light snoring. Now she could fall asleep without being disturbed and even used his snoring as a lullaby.
