Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 582 Situation (Update )
Ye Chutang said, "It's just watching the singing and dancing, welcoming and seeing off guests, it's not much fun. Although the palace banquet delicacies are rare, it must be very restrained on New Year's Eve. I'm afraid Xiaowu will have to eat cold food if he goes there. It's better to stay at home and enjoy ourselves."

Ye Jingyan thought about it and nodded in agreement: "That's right."

The last time Xiaowu went there, he didn’t eat much, so after he came back, he pestered him to eat another bowl of hot noodles.

"The one on the left is a little low, move it up a little."

Ye Chutang reminded.

The servant smiled and replied, "Okay!"

Seeing that the couplets were posted, Ye Chutang nodded and praised: "Once Ah Yan's couplets are posted, it really adds a lot of glory to our mansion."

Ye Jingyan thought to himself, this is just because his sister likes to be lazy. If she was willing to write it herself, he would not have tried to teach her how to do it.

Ye Chutang gave out three times the reward money and let the servants go away.

In the past few years, she, A Yan, A Feng and Xiao Wu have stayed up together to celebrate the New Year.

Now that they have returned to the capital, no matter how big the house is or how many servants they have, they are not what they care about most.

Being together, is the truth.

After just standing in the courtyard for a while, a thin layer of snow fell on Ye Chutang's shoulders.

She didn't know what she was thinking about, and was silent for a while.

Ye Jingyan noticed that she was in a trance and called her, "Sister? It's snowing and cold, you should go inside and warm up first."

Ye Chutang came back to her senses and realized belatedly: her body seemed to be much better than before.

Standing in this snowy land, I didn't feel too cold.

She turned around with a slight smile on her lips, "It's a rare leisure time, it's nice to enjoy the snow. Ah Yan, go get the chessboard."

It was rare for her to be in such a good mood, and Ye Jingyan also laughed: "Okay."

Ye Chutang took Xiaowu back to the house, and Ye Jingyan had already set up the chessboard by the window.

"Sister, please."

Ye Jingyan was indeed happy. After all, his elder sister hadn't played chess with him in person for a long time since returning to Beijing.

Such opportunities are rare.

Ye Chutang picked up a white chess piece and raised his chin with a smile. "The black piece goes first, you go."

Ye Jingyan nodded and then came to stand opposite her.

Xiao Wu couldn't wait to come to the small table, staring at the chessboard with his burning eyes. Then he took out a silver coin from his small purse with great interest and placed it next to Ye Chutang's hand.

——Ajie! Bet on Ajie to win!

Ye Jingyan was quite speechless: "...If you want to win money, just say so."

Xiaowu looked up with a guilty conscience.

——Is this so obvious?
She thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and took out a stack of banknotes and put them together as collateral.

——That’s all!

Ye Jingyan: "..."

He silently took out the golden lock that had been prepared long ago from his sleeve and placed it next to himself.

The golden lock was extremely delicate and looked very valuable at first glance.

Xiaowu's eyes lit up.

——Third brother is so nice!
Ye Chutang scratched her little nose with his finger.

"It's because your fourth brother is not here. Otherwise, no matter how many tricks you prepare, they will all be his in the end."

Afeng always has countless ways to coax Xiaowu into betting with him, and he always wins cleanly.

This year Afeng is not here, and Xiaowu is the king.

After taking a look at the golden lock, Ye Chutang suddenly remembered something.

"Come to think of it, the first gift that Second Master Xie gave you was also a very exquisite gold item."

Ye Jingyan and Xiao Wu were both startled when they heard Ye Chutang suddenly mention it.

Xiaowu's originally cheerful expression turned a little lonely and he lowered his head.

Ye Jingyan placed a move, then spoke carefully:
"I heard that the Xie family has not been at peace these days. Especially the second son Xie, he is in a bad situation."
