Tonight, everyone was spending the night at Wang Shi’s place. The moment she arrived at the main courtyard, she could already feel the liveliness and hear the laughter. Compared to the cold and empty feeling emanating from her own place, Shi Yumei almost teared up again.  The courtyard was well-lit because of the lanterns along the corridors; a servant immediately …

“Whatever did you mean?” Shi Fengu laughed and fastened himself around her. He looked deeply into her eyes, all the way until she blushed and lowered her head.  “Sang Wan, you are really beautiful!” Shi Fengju raised his hand and caressed her red cheeks tenderly. Looking into the pair of watery eyes as clear as spring water, he could not …

Although the courier waiting at the gatehouse ended up with such a result after so long and was not pleased, he had no choice since the recipient was not present and could only return sulkily. Fortunately, there was a consolation for him and his efforts did not go completely to waste!  Shi Fengju heard from Zhan Huan about the result …

Under the shopkeeper’s suspicious gaze, Ren Zhixian felt very annoyed. However, he was the type of person to be meek and civil in public but a tyrant at home. In the Shi household, he always felt that everyone owed it to him; he treated everyone with a frown and complained about them, but out in the public, he cared a …

Ren Zhixian felt that it was beneath his dignity to deal with money in person. Seeing Cui Bao bring the box over, he waved his hand and said with a look that showed that he did not care, “Count how much there is!”  “Yes, Lord!” Cui Bao’s eyes glimmered. Matters like counting money were her favourite task. Even though it …

“I didn’t tell my sister-in-law!” Shi Yumei raised her voice before saying coldly, “Lord, please wake up. This is the Shi Household, not Ren. Those worthless friends of yours——” “How dare you!” Ren Zhixian exclaimed, interrupting her words as he pointed at her and scolded, “Are you lecturing me? Is this how your family raised you? How dare you talk …

The two went on to talk in the warm room. Sang Wan began to share her grievances, “It isn’t a problem to prepare New Year gifts for the Ren family’s elders, but what if Big Sister comes and asks me about the gifts for Big Brother-in-law’s friends, what should I do!” Shi Yumei did not dare to prompt her mother …

“That’s right! I was too preoccupied with picking the plum blossom flowers just now! Sister Sang Wan, I picked these myself! Aren’t they beautiful?” Shi Yulin smiled brightly as she pulled on Sang Wan while pointing at a vase. “They sure are beautiful. Fourth Sister, you have a good eye for flowers!” Sang Wan smiled and complimented her before speaking …

“They can’t even handle something this trivial? Just what’s the meaning of this? Do they still consider me as their son-in-law! Is it because they’re filthy rich so they’re looking down on others? In the future when I pass the imperial examinations and get an official position, if they’re capable enough, they’d better not come and look for me!” In …

“Have a look,” Shi Fengju stopped teasing her. He grabbed one of the small boxes and opened it in front of her. Bright golden rays escaped from inside; the box was filled completely with differently sized nuggets that were each covered with a gold leaf. Imprinted on them were various depictions: 马上封侯、必定如意、花开富贵、五福捧寿、鹤鹿同春、金玉满堂、兔衔瑞草、玉树兰芝、迎春纳福、蟾宫折桂、春燕剪柳、竹报平安、如意、祥云、飞燕、仙鹤、神龟、天鹅、牡丹、芙蓉、梅花、灵芝 and many more. The workmanship of each and …
