On the night of New Year's Eve, firecrackers and fireworks echoed through Yanzhou City.
Last year, in the capital, Ji Mingzhu was pregnant and couldn't go out to play.
This year the children were born, but they were still young, needing constant care, so Ji Mingzhu still couldn't go out.
Just as the two children were awake, Xie Yunzhen proposed a night tour of the General Mansion.
"With so many lanterns hung up, wouldn't it be a waste not to admire them properly?"
Keeping vigil on New Year's Eve could be much more interesting than sitting idly.
Ji Mingzhu agreed.
"They need to wear extra clothes, so they don't catch cold."
Xie Yunzhen nodded and ordered to fetch the children's small fox fur cloaks.
He had hunted them personally.
The best piece of fur was made into a scarf for Mingzhu, the rest was used to make cloaks for the two children.
The twins didn't often get the chance to go out; most of the time, they played indoors.
