Chapter 1866 The Sickly Young Master's Beautiful Wife for Marriage 20

On New Year's Eve, according to the tradition of Jin Mansion, everyone would gather in the warm room in the front hall to stay up till the New Year comes.

That night, as the youngest young master in the mansion, Jinchen received warding off evil spirits money from all his family members.

Ye Yuci had also prepared this one long ago and handed it to Jinchen with a thoughtful smile.

Jinchen glanced at his family members who were talking around the fire, grabbed Ye Yuci's hand, and leaned over to whisper to him.

"Money for warding off evil spirits is for children. It's fine if it's given to parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, but why is Ah Ci giving it to me?"

Ye Yuci's eyes were soft, and she put her fingertips on Jinchen's forehead and smiled, "My husband is four years younger than me."

Jinchen raised his eyebrows, picked up a piece of candy for him to eat, and after Ye Yuci put it in his mouth, he quickly poked the tip of his tongue and said with a smile: "When Ah Ci ate candy like this at night, he didn't treat me as his younger brother.

"Cough cough..."

Ye Yuci's cough attracted the attention of the Jin family. She hurriedly brought the teacup to cover her blushing face and glared at Jinchen in anger.

Jinchen half propped up his chin and laughed at him, then heard Qiao Yanpei curiously ask: "What are you whispering about? Yu Ci's face is so red."

Jinchen held down Ye Yuci's hand that was trying to stop him, squeezed it in his palm, and suddenly remembered that his cheap father said that after the New Year, he would settle the bill for them moving his hidden treasures from the warehouse, and suddenly an idea came to him.

"Mom, Ah Ci and I want to ask Dad for some books to read."

"Reading is a good thing, but you haven't finished reading the books in your room." Jin Jide also looked over.

Ye Yuci didn't know why Jinchen mentioned this, so she let him hold his hands with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Jinchen: "The books I want to read are only in my father's storehouse."

Ye Yuci's pupils constricted and she quickly scratched Jinchen's palm, her face flushed so red it looked like smoking.

How can my husband talk about that kind of book at this time!

Jin Jide touched his short beard in confusion. He couldn't remember when there were books in the warehouse.

Jin Enxing asked curiously, "What kind of books are they? Aren't all the treasures collected over the years in Dad's storehouse?"

Jinchen: "It's the only book that my second brother can't read."

Jin Enxing was startled, "What the hell?"

After these words were spoken, everyone in the Jin family understood.

Zhao Huaixian coughed lightly, looked at the sultry but shocked Jin Yudong, and smiled secretly with her head down.

Only Jinchen dared to say such blunt words.

After a few seconds of inexplicable silence, Qiao Yanpei thought of the things that happened when he was young. He grabbed Jin Jide, whose face was red, and scolded him by the ear: "You actually still hid those books!"

Jin Jide tried to maintain his dignity in front of the children and whispered back, "Without those books...there wouldn't be three sons."

Qiao Yanpei: "..."

Jinchen successfully made his cheap dad feel bad, and he ran away holding Ye Yuci's hand. "Dad! I'm taking Ah Ci to set off firecrackers."

"No..." Jin Enxing scratched his head in confusion and gave his elder brother an elbow, "What book is that? Why can't I read it?"

Jin Yudong elbowed him back without any hesitation, "Xiaochen has already married, how come you are even more childish than him now?"

Jin Enxing was greatly shocked, and stretched out his hand towards him, palm facing up, "Then give me some money for evil spirits."

Jin Yudong: “…”

-

yard.

Jinchen had just set off a few firecrackers when Ye Yuci ordered him not to stay outside in the cold wind.

How could she dare not disobey her husband's words? Jinchen agreed in a drawn-out tone, but her back as she squatted on the ground did not move at all.

Ye Yuci had no choice but to go back to Luochun Court to get a cloak, but when she returned to the front yard with the oil lamp, there was no sign of Jinchen.

"Husband?"

"I'm here."

Jinchen came quickly from the corridor, with no one following him. His slightly thin figure was particularly pitiful in the darkness.

The servants were all given a New Year's Eve holiday. Ye Yuci knew that he had left alone, and she frowned with worry: "It's cold at night, where did my husband go?"

"It's so lively in the room. The servants prepared a New Year's Eve gift for me, but... I don't quite understand what it means."

Jinchen stood there and let Ye Yuci put on his cloak. He held the snack bowl in his hand and led him to sit on the bench. "Look."

Ye Yuci lowered her eyes and saw three things in the basin.

"Persimmons, oranges and branches." Jinchen looked at Ye Yuci, "Aci, do you know what it means?"

Ye Yuci pondered for a few moments, then suddenly raised her eyes and looked at her husband, who was full of doubts, in the light of the oil lamp.

Jinchen concentrated on thinking, his deep brow bones were dyed with warm light, and when he saw that his husband didn't speak, he looked at him again, "What's wrong?"

Ye Yuci smiled, and her cold and beautiful features softened instantly. She leaned in and kissed Jinchen's cheek.

"I wish you good luck, good fortune and good health."

Jin Chen raised his voice and hummed, then he heard Ye Yuci continue, "Cypress branches, persimmons, and oranges. Getting them means good luck in everything."

"Many poor families who don't have money to buy New Year gifts will use this kind of meaning to give to those they want to bless."

Even Ye Yuci did not expect that the servants of Jin Mansion would bless Jinchen in this way.

Jinchen raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I see."

He put away the three things, thought for a moment and looked at Ye Yuci with a smile, "Then, Ah Ci, do you have a New Year's gift for me?"

"Naturally there is."

Ye Yuci nodded, the warm light in the corners of his eyes turned into a faint halo, "But... I will wait until I finish my New Year's greetings with my parents, and then I will tell you after returning to Luochunyuan at midnight."

"Okay, then I'll give it to you then." Jinchen said expectantly.

After midnight, sounds of joy resounded throughout the city of Chuanze, lanterns were lit in every household, and firecrackers were set off in thousands of doors.

After all, out of consideration for Jinchen's health, after wishing each other a happy new year, Qiao Yanpei asked them to go back and rest.

It was late at night, and Jinchen had never imagined that her husband's New Year gift would be a close-fitting blessing embroidered patchwork blouse.

Touching the marks left by the needle on Ye Yuci's fingertips, Jinchen felt a little reluctant to give away the jade hairpin, but it was clearly a sacred jade that had been nurtured and consecrated in the temple.

Ye Yuci, however, liked it very much.

When Jinchen shamelessly asked that he should wear the jade hairpin when they did that tonight, Ye Yuci, who was always shy about such things, agreed.

In the second half of the night, before falling asleep in her arms, Jinchen heard her exhausted husband mumbling.

"This is the first time I have received a New Year gift and I like it very much."

At this moment, the candlelight was blown out, and perhaps these words could only be said in the relaxing darkness.

Jinchen's heart softened, and he kissed the corners of Ye Yuci's slightly moist eyes, "My dear Ah Ci, we still have so many years to go."

"Um……"

Ye Yuci wiped away her tears, buried her head in Jinchen's arms, lay down with her neck intertwined, and fell asleep with tenderness.

This is a great start to the year.
