Different from the capital city, the feast in Gu Garden was the true family meal. Four adults and one child dismissed their servants, sat around the small stove, and cooked meat by themselves.

Gu Yun was authorized to drink three cups of wine. He could only get a few cups from Chang Geng on New Year's holidays, he knew to treasure them without anyone telling him to, favoring a sip for half a day, not leaving one drop to waste. After three cups, he was about to reach for more when Chang Geng pressed his hand down as if he was prepared for it. Chang Geng glanced at him with a warning. The corners of Gu Yun's eyes were dyed with a thin layer of red wine, he returned the look with a smile that was there yet not at the same time, with a hint of acting spoiled.

Chang Geng could not stand this kind of look. He kept away from Gu Yun's line of sight and refused to accept this attack.

Shen Yi angrily scolded Gu Yun: "Don't send flirtatious looks in front of my daughter's face!"

At this time Shen Yan was already sleepy. She nested in Chen Qing Xu's arms, and yawned one after another. The Taishang Huang coughed and retracted his hand, and said to her kindly, "Yan'er is tired? Go to sleep."

Shen Yan rubbed her eyes forcefully: "I want to stay awake until the New Year, the dumplings haven't been eaten yet."

Gu Yun smiled and asked people to prepare for her a pot of dumplings first. Then, he took two Wind Slashers from the weapon rack in the courtyard and threw one to Shen Yi: "Ji Ping, come here, let us exchange a few moves, to see how your martial arts skills have downgraded, so to wake my niece from her drowsiness."

The blades of the two Wind Slashers were not out. The long sticks of dark iron collided with each other, the clanging sound spread out in the cold night for a long time. Shen Yan could not help but shudder. She suddenly felt refreshed and poked her head out to watch without blinking.
