Everyone was taken aback.
Since when did the relationship between Xu Xinmo and Yun Jinnian become so good?
Although Old Madam Yun looked surprised, she was also satisfied.
Now that Yun Jinnian was a Commandery Princess and could enter various prominent families, she naturally hoped Yun Jinnian and Xu Xinmo would get along well.
"Xinmo, don’t just focus on serving your cousin; you also need to eat more!" Old Madam Yun instructed.
The Lantern Festival dinner was quite wonderful. After the meal, the sweet dumplings were served.
"Eat slowly; there are treasures inside!" Old Madam Yun said with a kind and gentle demeanor.
Soon, Yun Jinnian found something and spat out a coin.
No matter what thoughts anyone had, they all kept them in check, and the atmosphere became lively and harmonious.
After eating the sweet dumplings, they prepared to go out.
The carriages were already prepared, three in total, because there were so many people. Since Yun Jinnian was the eldest, she naturally had to take care of the younger siblings.
"When you go out, you must listen to Jinnian. Jinnian, you should also take good care of them, especially Kuankuan, Hehe, and Mumu!"
Yun Jinnian responded.
Everyone squeezed into one carriage, which was very crowded but lively.
They entered the bustling area with cheerful smiles.
There were many people watching the lantern festival, and the carriage couldn’t get in, so it stopped outside. Hongdou, Hongxiu, and Hongye each held a child’s hand. This was Yun Jinnian’s task for them: no matter what happened, they couldn’t let go. She even devised a method to tie their wrists with cloth strips, making it even harder to get lost.
Although the carriage couldn’t get through, there were many vendors selling food on both sides of the street.
Yun Jinnian truly took on the role of an elder sister, constantly asking her younger siblings what they wanted to eat.
Yun He wanted to eat everything, and Yun Jinnian bought it, but she divided it among Yun Kuan, Yun He, and Yun Mu.
"Eat a little less, or you won’t have room for the delicious food from Huiquan Tower later!"
Moreover, Yun Jinnian was concerned about the cleanliness of the street food.
Just tasting it was enough.
"Okay, we’ll listen to Sister!"
At three years old, growing up in a large estate, they already understood a lot.
Besides, no one had ever treated them as well as Yun Jinnian did, taking them out and buying them food.
"In that case, let’s buy less food and more toys, alright? Later, whatever you like, Sister will buy it for you!"
True to her word, Yun Jinnian bought rattles, clay figurines, root carvings... anything they looked at for a little longer, she bought, treating everyone equally.
Xu Xinmo watched from the side, so angry it hurt his guts.
Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingzhi, and Yun Qingqing carefully picked out a couple of things, holding them like treasures.
Yun Musi and Yun Mulan didn’t care much; after all, they didn’t have much interest in these little trinkets.
For Yun Kuan, Yun He, Yun Mu, who had never left the residence, and for Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingqing, and Yun Qingzhi, who rarely went out, it was like gaining a precious treasure.
At home, aside from their concubine mothers, no one ever treated them like they were important or doted on them.
At most, they were just adequately fed and clothed warmly.
"Sister, Sister, this bear is so cute!" Yun Mu said, looking pitifully at Yun Jinnian.
Yun Jinnian said, immediately asking Hemei to bring the money, "Three of them, put them in the carriage first, and take them back to the courtyard later!"
