There are also New Year's goods for Prince Gong's Mansion. Wang Zhang has already made a list, but Su Wanyan still needs to review it before purchasing.
If aristocratic families were to visit each other, the New Year's goods they prepared would not be just a little bit; now, the Prince's Mansion only needs enough to distribute to its own members.
Wang Zhang listed some programs for the Spring Festival. Su Wanyan didn't expect that her idea of neither being too grand nor too simple was different from Wang Zhang's.
For prominent families in Beijing, ancestral worship and receiving imperial favors were essential parts of the New Year celebrations. However, the Prince Gong's Mansion did not require these, so Wang Zhang did not include them in the list.
Giving out New Year's money and having a family banquet are fine, given Yu Nanqing's current situation. Giving out New Year's money is enough, but the family banquet can be skipped.
During the New Year, powerful and wealthy families in the capital would invite opera troupes to perform at their residences, or invite musicians to play ceremonial music at their homes, or even perform acrobatic shows. As long as money was paid, these could be invited into their residences.
Su Wanyan hesitated for a while among the three programs before choosing a juggling act.
Everyone finds acrobatics fascinating, and bringing them back to perform will surely bring joy to everyone in the household.
Besides that, it's just reconciliation of accounts.
The accounts were checked once when Su Wanyan went to the palace to ask for her salary, and now that it's the New Year, they need to be checked again. Most accounts are checked once a year because at the end of the year, both ordinary people and noble families in the capital settle their income for the year during these few days.
The purchasing process at Prince Gong's Mansion was no longer the same as when she first transmigrated, where she would receive silver for each item purchased. Instead, she would leave a token indicating that she was a member of the manor.
Therefore, these days many merchants come to Prince Gong's Mansion with their official plaques to collect debts.
Helpless, Su Wanyan could only patiently go through the accounts again.
Su Wanyan was busy preparing for the New Year and treating Yu Nanqing, and had no time to pay attention to anything else. She only realized this when she came to her senses.
It seems that Emperor Yuanhe and the eldest princess haven't bothered them for a long time.
Even the palace banquets and New Year's banquets were declined, and Emperor Yuanhe seemed to have no objection. Eunuch Liu, who came to deliver the imperial invitation, also seemed to have become amiable, completely concealing his sharp edge.
Perhaps it's because of the New Year holidays, the palace must be even busier than the prince's residence, not to mention that the eldest princess is also a first-class imperial relative, so she must be busy at this time as well.
After thinking it over, Su Wanyan stopped worrying about it.
There are only ten days left until the Spring Festival.
After dealing with everything, she can finally rest starting today.
Su Wanyan brewed a pot of ginseng soup and brought it to the main room. When she opened the door, she saw Yu Nanqing struggling to stand up, clinging to the bedpost beside the bed.
When he stood up, his legs trembled uncontrollably, feeling weak and powerless.
Upon seeing Su Wanyan enter, his heart skipped a beat, and he lost control of his strength, collapsing to the ground with a "thud," knocking over the bedside table and spilling teacups all over the floor.
"Hey you!" Su Wanyan had to quicken her pace and step forward, placing the bowl of ginseng soup on the bedside table before helping Yu Nanqing up: "What are you doing? Can't you call someone if you want to do something? Where's Tanaka?"
Yu Nanqing, who was lying on the ground, looked a little disheveled. When Su Wanyan helped him up, he was almost entirely on top of her.
Her breath caught him off guard and landed on his neck, instantly turning Yu Nanqing's ears red and making his heart pound like a thunder drum.
He quickly and gently pushed Su Wanyan away: "I...I can do it myself."
Su Wanyan was speechless: "What are you showing off for? I've seen you in all sorts of ways. I've seen you fall even more miserably during your rehabilitation training these past few days."
Yes, Yu Nanqing has been undergoing rehabilitation training for nearly half a month.
From the moment Yu Nanqing regained feeling in her legs, she had already put this matter on the agenda. The last time she called Master Niu over, it was to have him train on the parallel bars, horizontal bars, and other equipment.
"..." Yu Nanqing was speechless, and could only keep reminding herself to suppress the unusual excitement in her heart.
He wanted Su Wanyan to know, but he didn't want her to find out.
In any case, this is definitely not the right time.
With difficulty, Su Wanyan helped Yu Nanqing to the bed, then frowned and asked, "Yu Nanqing, have you gained weight?"
Yu Nanqing had to exert himself just now, otherwise Su Wanyan would never have been able to help him up.
Of course, she wasn't really asking Yu Nanqing, after all, she was the one who raised his body, how could she not know what kind of body it had become?
Before Yu Nanqing could reply, he asked again, "Where is Tanaka?"
“I asked him to go to the city to buy some things…” Yu Nanqing turned her face away uncomfortably.
Su Wanyan immediately became interested: "What do you want to buy?"
"Some trivial things," Yu Nanqing said, clenching her fist and putting it to her mouth to cover up her misunderstanding.
Seeing that he was hesitant and unwilling to talk, Su Wanyan looked at him suspiciously for a while, and finally decided not to dwell on it anymore. She picked up a spoon and ladled a bowl of ginseng soup for him: "Drink it all."
Without hesitation, Yu Nanqing took the ginseng soup and drank it all in a few gulps.
Just as he was about to put down the bowl, he saw Su Wanyan sitting on the cushion, holding the soup bowl, and sipping the remaining ginseng soup.
Yu Nanqing found it cute, and the corners of her beautiful lips unconsciously turned up slightly.
He hesitated for a moment before bringing up a topic: "Lately... you seem to be particularly busy."
"It's alright, it's all your household matters." After saying that, fearing that Yu Nanqing would take on more work, she added, "But it's not too tiring work. Master Wang had already sorted it when it was delivered, and it's all finished now."
The rest can be left to the people in the mansion; they can just wait for the New Year.
After saying that, she tilted her head back slightly and drank the rest of the ginseng soup in one gulp.
After finishing, I smacked my lips; it tasted pretty good.
"Can I leave the mansion on the Spring Festival?" Yu Nanqing suddenly asked.
Su Wanyan refused without even thinking: "Of course not, what are you thinking?"
She looked at Yu Nanqing: "You want to leave the manor?"
This is a critical moment, and the news that his leg has recovered must be kept completely secret.
Otherwise, if Emperor Yuanhe and the eldest princess got angry and sent assassins to kill her again, she wasn't confident she could dodge a second time.
Good luck won't last forever.
"I just wanted to..." He just wanted to make the most of this first Spring Festival with Su Wanyan.
However, seeing the worry in Su Wanyan's eyes, he stopped talking: "I was just too impatient."
"Don't rush, don't rush," Su Wanyan comforted. "Once your leg is healed, you can do whatever you want. There's no need to rush."
Su Wanyan understood that this was a common problem for almost all patients; as long as they felt a little better, they would think that there was nothing seriously wrong.
Some patients even stop taking medication and stop seeing a doctor immediately.
Then there are people like Yu Nanqing, who become more relaxed and even perfunctory as they get closer to the critical point of success, unaware that this may only be the beginning.
"Su Wanyan."
"Um?"
"I want to go to training." He was still anxious.
"Wait until Tanaka comes back before we go. I can't take care of you right now."
Just kidding, Yu Nanqing is 1.9 meters tall, she can't lift him up at all, she might break his bones.
