"No problem."
"Hehe...."
Wang Yuqian gave a sheepish laugh, but he didn't stop talking and continued cautiously,
"Third Young Master, is the Chinese New Year just going to pass like this?"
So it turned out that the old man just wanted to find a topic to start a conversation.
Stunned for a moment, Xu Yuan responded in kind to the other's gambit,
"The Chinese New Year isn't over until the fifteenth day of the first month. Why the rush?"
Wang Yuqian tensed up and rubbed his hands,
"What about the New Year's feast in the palace tomorrow?"
Normally on New Year's Eve, Wang Yucheng, as a Third Grade official of The Imperial Court, should have been at the Ministry of War, guarding the year for the country. But today, he had submitted a sick leave request and returned to his residence immediately without waiting for a response from The Imperial Court.
