ruly small and cramped, stiflingly crowded. Jiang Qiyun didn't want to come in.The old woman seemed to sense something, smiling and gesturing for me to sit down: "Come, let me take a look at your body...It's great to have a high EQ sister-in-law, and Lin Yanqin is especially sensible when it comes to important matters. In simpler terms, she's "extra transparent"!

She didn't hesitate at all, running into the kitchen to help me.

It's really just to come chat with me… To expect her help is wishful thinking, at least for now she's not used to this casual extended family life.

I only let her help with washing the fruit, worried she might cut herself while peeling it. As a result, she asked me, "Where's the dish soap for fruits and vegetables"

"...My house doesn't have that."

She patted her head: "I'll bring some next time!"

"Are you planning on moving out with my brother" I asked tentatively.

"Huh" Lin Yanqin tilted her head, looking at me with a puzzled expression: "Why would you want to move out It's so lively and fun here!"

"Alright then...don't move it." I nodded.

"Xiao Qiao, you're worrying too much! I'm not stupid. Would I ask Yun Fan to move out just because we're getting married Wouldn't that make it seem like I dislike his family He has a place to live... why would he need to move out" Lin Yanqin said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to living with all of you!"

Pff...

You happy, future mistress.

Huācháo Jié, or simply Huācháo, refers to the activity of going out for a spring outing.

Every year during the Lunar February, there are several days when customs vary from place to place. It is a festival honoring the God of Flowers, dating back to the Spring and Autumn period. Although it has gradually faded in recent centuries, this festival is actually a very pink traditional holiday.

During the Flower Festival, people offer sacrifices to the flower god. Unmarried girls also prepare red strings and can go to the flower god temple to burn incense.

When flowers fragrance meets a beautiful person, it is a good day for all flowers and spring in the world.

For Lin Yanqin, who doesn't pay much attention to traditional Chinese culture, this might be a novel festival. The next day, she chased after me asking what clothes I had prepared.

I squinted at her from under the covers: "It's only seven o'clock... Yan Qin, aren't you getting a little too excited"

Looking at her flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes, you just know my brother's proposal last night must have been incredibly heartwarming... Though who knows, these two oddballs are truly a match made in heaven.

"You actually woke up early today" I rubbed my eyes and sat up, the blanket slipping from my shoulders.

Lin Yanqin feigned covering her eyes: "Oh, so lustful! Xiao Qiao, you're so young, I'm envious!"

"...You've been corrupted by my brother." I put on my pajamas speechless.

"Hee hee, actually I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep a wink!" She followed me into the bathroom. "I really didn't expect him to be so thoughtful about decorating the room...Yunfan is afraid of trouble."

"...He wouldn't bother you if you were afraid of causing him trouble." I regretted it as I washed my face.

Last night I really should have gone to hear Windowsill, it's a shame I missed it!

I took out a new set of hanfu from the closet. This was recommended by Song Wei, a shop. Although it was a bit expensive, the quality of the hanfu was very good. I chose two qixiong ru skirt sets.

Lin Yanqin looked at the clothes with starry eyes and said, "I've always wanted to try on this kind of clothes, but no one accompanied me. I felt so embarrassed wearing it alone... Hmm, should I get a haircut How can I match this outfit"

Just put up a simple bun and use a few hairpins to hold it in place," I pointed to the drawer.

Because of the different flowering seasons in the north and south, most places in the north celebrate Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the second lunar month, while places in the south celebrate it on the 12th day.

It was a day of spring, the air filled with vitality. I wore a pale pink and Lin Yanqin wore a light blue cheongsam, ready to go out. However, my brother had something urgent come up and was called away by his former senior.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It seems like an old professor suddenly went to the hospital. The professor didn't have any children, so my brother and that senior were the most familiar people with him, so they were called to help take care of him.

Lin Yanqin didn't show any displeasure and was even gentle as she sent my brother out. Then, she turned around and made a phone call. Two men in black suits immediately pulled up in a lengthened imported car outside my house.

"Little Qiao, let's go! This car is probably hard to find a parking spot for, we need to hurry and get a place!"

I was amused and touched by her cuteness, rushing to the ecological park in the suburbs.

The spring weather was lovely, and even those who didn't know the significance of this holiday brought their families out to enjoy a day in nature. The crowds at the ecological park were overwhelming, making us decide to go elsewhere.

The bodyguard watched the car inch forward, slowly lowering the partition glass and saying to Lin Yanqin, "Miss, shall we make some arrangements"

"Shhh, shhh, keep it down, keep it down. It's good enough if we just act like ordinary people." Lin Yanqin quickly shook her head and pointed ahead. "We'll get off there. After you park the car, come over here."

The bodyguard couldn't resist her, so just one bodyguard accompanied us off the car, and the driver went to park.

There were quite a few young girls in ancient costumes around us. We stood quietly on the side and didn't stand out, however, when our bodyguard went to buy water, a man in a shirt walked towards us with a few others behind him. They didn't look like good guys at all.

"...What are you doing" I muttered, wary.

The young man smiled at me and walked past, looking over to Lin Yanqin and saying, “I just saw someone I know.”

Lin Yanqin frowned in confusion: "I don't know you."

The young man smirked, confidently crossed his arms and tilted his head as he said, "Miss Lin, you've been abroad for too long, have you forgotten your old classmates"

Old classmate Lin Yanqin's classmates should all be second-generation officials, right

She tilted her head and thought for a long time, but she couldn't figure out who the other person was.

I took a look at this young man. Since he was a classmate, he must be about the same age as Yan Qinyue. He was handsome and good-looking. Such a person should be unforgettable, right How could Lin Yanqin not remember him

The bodyguard who bought water came back and immediately diffused the awkwardness.

"Hello, Master Cheng."

Lin Yanqin raised an eyebrow. "Cheng Yi"

"Young Master Cheng finally regained some face and nodded, "It was me... I also just returned to the country recently. I wanted to invite you to dinner, but I didn't expect you wouldn't be there... It's such a coincidence that you're here too"

"Clever I looked at this Master Cheng coldly, from the imperial capital to the south, you're quite clever"

Lin Yanqin knows people who are not ordinary. I didn't dare to talk nonsense. After listening to Lin Yanqin chat for a few indifferent sentences, she turned her head and said to me, "Xiao Qiao, let's go in and have a look The driver might take a long time to park the car, so we won't wait for him."

I couldn't wait to get in there. I grabbed Lin Yanqin's hand and rushed inside, only to find Cheng Gongzi swaggering right after us. "Yanqin," he said casually, "I heard you're getting married"

Lin Yanqin smiled noncommittally: "Who told you that"

He smiled and said, “We’re all part of the same circle, so you don’t need to ask about information channels.”

"Well, there are too many rumors going around. Please refer to official announcements for accurate information." Lin Yanqin said with a hint of sarcasm.

What's this guy trying to do...

He followed us all the way, even when we had nothing to talk about. We found a place to sit down and prepare for a picnic, and he even came over and asked if he could help, saying that he would buy anything we needed.

I glanced at Mr. Cheng, who was relentlessly trying to make conversation, and said unhappily, "Mr. Cheng, we only brought enough for the two of us. Please help yourself!" asked.Lin Yanqin nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "We all grew up under the same roof when we were little. For children like us with similar family backgrounds, basically by junior high schoo...
