"...two hams, four jars of Jinhua wine, a pair of live sheep, six wind chickens, two fox skins, one lynx skin, and six pieces of brocade..."
Mrs. Li listened and nodded. "There are not many people in our family, so these are enough for the New Year. In addition, I will give you two hundred taels of silver, and exchange them all for ingots weighing ten and five taels."
After a pause, he emphasized helplessly, "Remember to hand the silver to mother."
Nanny Zhou sighed, "I saved myself the trouble."
Hearing the sound of the curtain behind them, they immediately turned around.
Seeing that it was Ren Yaoqi, Li heaved a sigh of relief, then smiled awkwardly, "Qi'er, you're here?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled back, oblivious. "Is Mother discussing something with Madam Zhou? I'll go to the west room and wait."
Li said hurriedly, "Then you go sit down first. Nanny Zhou and I will come over after we finish our business."
Ren Yaoqi retreated from the east room and went to the west room.
After a while, Nanny Zhou came out and said to Ren Yaoqi with a smile, "Madam is still changing. Fifth sister came early today. Third sister is still in the old lady's yard and hasn't come back yet?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Third sister will be here soon." After thinking for a moment, she suddenly asked, "Grandpa and uncle...are they all right?"
Nanny Zhou was startled, then she remembered that Ren Yaoqi might have overheard her conversation with Li, and hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
Glancing at Ren Yaoqi, Nanny Zhou smiled apologetically and said, "Master brought some New Year gifts, and Madam asked me to send some gifts back tomorrow."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded: "It's my duty." She didn't ask what New Year gift her uncle had sent.
Nanny Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to speak, Ren Yaohua came in through the curtain and casually asked, "What's the New Year's gift?"
Glancing at the nervous Madam Zhou, Ren Yaoqi smiled and continued, "I was asking Madam about the relationships between relatives. Wasn't Third Sister playing mahjong with Grandma and her cousin? Who won?"
"Don't you dislike playing? What does it have to do with you who wins?" Ren Yaohua walked to the kang and sat down. Nanny Zhou made an excuse to ask Li to leave.
Ren Yaoqi didn't argue with her. He smiled, picked up the teapot beside him and poured her a cup of tea.
Faced with Ren Yaoqi's friendly attitude, Ren Yaohua couldn't help but smile. Ever since she returned, she'd sensed a completely different Ren Yaoqi. They'd always argued, but now Ren Yaoqi avoided arguments. Arguments like these were truly a struggle, so the two of them had remained peaceful.
"My third cousin and Master Wen want to hold an ice skating competition, and grandmother has agreed." Ren Yaohua picked up the tea and took a sip, then suddenly said.
Although Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised that Ren Yaohua took the initiative to ask her this, she still pretended to be interested and asked, "Oh? When? Are all the brothers in the family participating?"
"Yes, it's on the Baihe River outside the town. We will all go there then." Ren Yaohua responded with a rare friendly gesture.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned: "I... can't."
Ren Yaohua turned and glared at her: "So what? You don't have to compete. The servants in the mansion will naturally be arranged to compete. We are just watching the fun from the sidelines."
Ren Yaoqi coughed lightly: "Oh, is that so. I've been catching colds easily lately. It's too cold outside, so I won't go."
"Grandmother has instructed all the brothers and sisters in the family to go, including the people from the East Palace. My third cousin also asked you a question today." When Ren Yaohua arrived here, he frowned and looked at Ren Yaoqi.
