Imperial Treasure-Chapter 886 - 541: New Year’s Goods

------------

On the 29th, the day before the Spring Festival, snow fell in the north.

Many people like to spend the Spring Festival in the north because there is snow there.

Although snowfall causes many inconveniences and brings cold, most people still prefer snow over rain.

On this day, snowflakes danced in the air, rendering the normally crowded Capital City, which was quieter due to the holiday season, somewhat serene and graceful.

Rather dignified, you might say.

This is indeed the Forbidden City.

Ye Chunan and Ye Xiuling sat in the car driven by Fatty Gao through the bustling streets of the Capital City, entering the quietest area amid the hustle and bustle.

This is the government residential district closest to The Forbidden City.

The houses here are all quite large, and for a moment, they felt as if they had traveled back in time—if not for the fact that they were still seated in a car.

The car pulled up in front of the courtyard gate, where it was spacious with its own parking lot, naturally, there was also a garage, but for convenience, given there were barely two or three cars at Sui Yi’s place, it was sufficient to park here, avoiding the effort to drive into the garage.

Snow was piled alongside the road. This place was not purely green-space oriented; rather, it was a blend of gardens and ancient culture, with walls restored to display historical relics, each brick carrying the mark of classic heritage.

Ye Chunan and Ye Xiuling got out of the car.

Just in time to see the three cars following behind them stop, parking at the nearest residence.

People got out of the cars, young and old alike, along with children, filled with laughter and chatter.

Fatty Gao didn’t recognize the others but knew the woman with the best temperament and outstanding grace and greeted her proactively.

"Miss Su."

Su Zimu had already spotted them and returned a smile, "Good afternoon, Mr. Gao."

Fatty Gao usually disliked those pretentious cultural folks, but he greatly admired families like the Su Family, particularly Su Zimu, who in some aspects had great conversations with his boss.

Thus, he beamed, noting that she seemed to glance a few more times at Ye Chunan and Ye Xiuling beside him.

Quickly, her gaze shifted to the door that had long been ajar,

Leaving the door open was Sui Yi’s habit.

This place likely didn’t have anyone impolite enough to intrude into others’ homes; even if there were criminals, what were they before Sui Yi? Hence, this was one peculiar feature of this house.

Evidently, Su Zimu’s relatives had all heard of the mysterious and eccentric neighbor and knew Su Zimu and the old master had a great relationship with them, thus all looked on curiously.

Because someone walked out from inside the door.

The girl was quite tall, reaching over one-seventy-five, wearing black linen pants, dragging wood-bottom flat cotton slippers, her top was a loose white linen shirt of the same material, broad collar and sleeves, she walked unhurriedly out, slightly nodding towards the middle-aged woman, "Aunt, Chunan..."

Tall, thin, dressed particularly light.

But stunningly beautiful, almost to an excess; in literature, she would be the kind to topple kingdoms and overturn the imperial court, but not garishly so, rather the first impression one gets is of pure and unadulterated elegance.

"Ah Yi, it’s so cold, why are you dressed so lightly," Ye Xiuling, even knowing Sui Yi wasn’t an ordinary person, instinctively felt she’d be cold.

There’s this thing called ’Mom feels you’re cold,’ and here it was ’Aunt feels you’re cold.’

"It’s alright... not very cold," Sui Yi softly smiled, gently inviting the two inside. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Ye Chunan looked at Sui Yi, then at his own thick sweater and coat, momentarily speechless.

Yet Sui Yi turned her head, slightly nodding towards Su Zimu as greeting, then the latter suddenly walked over.

This rendered Ye Xiuling and company somewhat uneasy in entering.

Introductions were necessary.

"Hello, Aunt Ye," Su Zimu, being Sui Yi’s friend, followed suit in addressing, Ye Xiuling naturally had a favorable impression towards scholarly individuals like Su Zimu, but knowing Su Zimu’s family was right next door, they were necessarily of high birth, so her demeanor was kind yet restrained, avoiding any breach of decorum.

Ye Chunan listened on the side without speaking, which in this regard was consistent with his mother.

— Sui Yi’s friends were mostly out of the ordinary, due to Sui Yi, they would be courteous towards the mother and son, but they couldn’t overstep to ruin Sui Yi’s reputation, although the latter might not care.

Sui Yi seeing Su Zimu also wearing not very thick clothing, couldn’t help but say: "Your health isn’t very robust, why not wear something more?"
