Chapter 392 - 137: Dye Formula_3
Yueyao got up as usual and practiced the Five Animal Frolics. Now, she no longer needed to hide; she directly did her routine in the backyard. Of course, when Yueyao practiced the Five Animal Frolics, except for her personal maid, no one else was allowed to approach.
After finishing her exercises, Yueyao took the towel handed to her by Xi Juan and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, then walked back to her room to rest and start washing up.
Xi Yu came back laughing after splashing water, saying, "Miss, you wouldn’t believe that the water I just splashed out froze as hard as a rock in the blink of an eye." This indicated that this year’s winter was extremely cold.
Yueyao replied with a smile, "Let’s go see."
Xi Yu pointed to where she had splashed the water, "Miss, it’s right here!" At the spot Xi Yu pointed to, thick layers of ice had already formed.
Yueyao smiled and turned to look at the window pane also covered with thick frost, the roof, the trees, and the ground were all blanketed with white snow. The piercing north wind kept blowing, emitting a sharp howling sound.
After having breakfast, Yueyao dressed warmly and went to Lanxi Courtyard with Tingzheng to pay respects to Lady Mo, also taking the opportunity to offer New Year’s greetings. Lady Mo, stingy as she was, wouldn’t skimp on New Year’s red envelopes.
Yueyao was not one for bustling excitement. Once the formalities were done, she took Tingzheng back to Lanxi Courtyard. Yueyao took out the clothes she had made for Tingzheng, a sky-blue brocaded cotton robe with white fox fur lining the collar and sleeves.
It fit Tingzheng just right, "Thank you, sister." Tingzheng loved wearing the clothes Yueyao made by hand the most.
Yueyao patted Tingzheng’s shoulder with a smile. Without resting even on New Year’s Day, both of them went to the study to practice their writing until noon when they finally left the study.
Xi Yu whispered, "Miss, shall we go and offer New Year’s greetings to the Eldest Miss, Second Young Lady, and Fourth Miss?" Regardless, the Miss was only separated by a room from them and had not lived together for years. According to Xi Yu’s suggestion, they should at least pay a visit.
