Luo Yining suddenly woke up and broke into a sweat. She opened the curtain and called Zhenzhu in.
Pearl twisted her handkerchief and said, "It's not even morning yet... You went to bed late last night, so sleep a little longer."
Luo Yining was already getting dressed. She asked, "Where's the Third Young Master?"
"He should be sleeping in the study in the front yard now. I haven't heard that he has gone out." Zhenzhu said.
Luo Yining actually breathed a sigh of relief.
She sat at her dressing table and noticed she looked very haggard. She used some powder to cover it up, and then applied rose-colored lip balm to her lips, which finally gave her some color. Daimao combed her hair into a bun and said, "Today is New Year's Eve. I will give you this red gold hairpin with peony flowers. It looks beautiful."
Luo Yining nodded, washed her hands, and went to the kitchen. She busied herself expertly, steaming several plates of pastries and a bowl of mushroom and mutton dumplings. She kneaded the dough, mixed it, and wrapped the filling; by the time it was done, half an hour had passed. The sky dimly lit up.
Luo Yining carried the lunch box to the front yard, passed through Jiashu Hall, and went through the corridor.
There were a few servants guarding the study door. When they saw her, they bowed and said, "Madam, the master is still asleep. He hasn't woken up yet."
"Then I'll wait. Don't wake him up. Let's talk after he wakes up..." Luo Yining sat on the stone bench in front of the study, carrying breakfast. She thought to herself that she shouldn't make dumplings. By the time he woke up, they would be mushy and inedible. He could walk, so she didn't have time...she had already made breakfast for him. This was her first time.
When the sun had already risen and its rays shone on the stone table, there were sounds of people getting up from inside, as if a maid was serving. A servant went in to tell her, and Yining had already been waiting for half an hour.
In fact, it wasn’t Luo Shenyuan who got up late, it was she who got up early.
Luo Yining saw the servant come out and actually gripped the handle of the food box tightly. The servant walked in and bowed: "Madam, the master has woken up. Please come in."
Luo Yining stood up ahead of her mushy dumplings. Her heart suddenly started beating fast.
