After having dinner, Yuan Jiaqi took her hand and led her back to the bedroom. The spacious bed was warm with a burning fire with neatly arranged bedding.
Qiao Mai took off her shoes and got on the bed. Yuan Jiaqi quickly joined her, massaging her shoulders.
βTired?β
βNot too much.β
βGet a good nightβs sleep.β
βHave you sent the New Yearβs gift to our in-laws?β
βNot yet. Iβm waiting for you. The preparations here are insufficient, and there are many gifts from last year we donβt have.β
βAll right. Iβll take care of it tomorrow.β
The next day, while Qiao Mai was still asleep, Yuan Jiaqi quietly got up and left for morning court, careful not to disturb her rest.
When the sun was shining brightly, Qiao Mai opened her eyes. Old Master Wang, Old Mistress Wang, and the children were waiting for her in the living room.
She smiled, feeling grateful for having family waiting for her.
Lazily, she got off the bed, changed into a clean outfit, and casually tied up her hair before heading to the living room.
βWow, looking neat!β
βItβs been a while since you came back. Weβve all missed you.β
Qiao Mai sat down, and soon, the kitchen served her a meal. Everyone watched her as she ate.
βHowβs everything over there?β
βEverythingβs fine. Weβve had three snowfalls in the past month.β
βWe love snow. We donβt get to see any here throughout the year.β
A thought occurred to Qiao Mai. With her cultivation, she could probably conjure snow, but it wasnβt necessary since she had a platform. Even without actual snow, she could create it.
She kept this idea in mind and chatted with the family for a while before everyone went about their business.
Qiao Mai first placed the New Year goods prepared in her space in the east wing. Then, she summoned the steward and, accompanied by some servants, began the gift-giving.
They donβt have many relatives and friends in the capital, only the Dukeβs family and the General West Gateβs family. After sending out the gifts, Qiao Mai felt relieved.
With her hands behind her back, she explored the house.
She looked for a place to create snow. She remembered the idea of a skiing area. Although the house wasnβt large, it could accommodate a small one.
She arrived at a grove filled with bamboo. It was clean and elegant, with a graceful path leading directly to the backyard.
There were several paths leading to the backyard from the grove. The grove was large and elongated, and she had considered changing it.
Surveying the surroundings with servants coming and going, she didnβt feel the need to rush into action.
In the middle of the night, after making sure Yuan Jiaqi was sound asleep, Qiao Mai quietly came to the forest. With a wave of her hand, she stored it in her space. Then, she flew to a barren land outside the city, created a large pit, and returned to the forest.
She moved the soil from the pit, creating a hill and compacting it with her mental power.
Having checked the platform, she decided to bring snow from the north instead of using a snow-making machine. It was not only faster but also more authentic.
She enclosed the hill with a barrier, flew to the north, brought back a large amount of white snow, and covered the hill with it. f(r)eenovelkiss
Looking at both bare sides, she moved some trees into the two sides of the hill, making it more pleasing to the eye.
She surrounded the area with a barrier and set up an entrance gate. As long as she didnβt remove the barrier, the ice and snow would never melt, even in the hot summer.
Others wouldnβt be able to see inside unless they entered the gate. She did this for her family.
After completing everything, the sky was almost bright. Qiao Mai stretched lazily before returning to the room.
Seeing Yuan Jiaqi sitting at the table with a pot of hot tea, looking at her with a somewhat resentful expression, she couldnβt help but smile.
βHehe, youβre awake?β
βWife, what were you doing behind my back again?β
As Qiao Mai wasnβt sleepy, she gestured for him to come over. βPut on something warm. Let me show you something.β
βWhere?β
βRight here at home. I want to give the children a New Yearβs gift. I worked on it all night.β
Yuan Jiaqi, now fully awake, eagerly jumped off the bed. Wearing a padded cloak, he grabbed Qiao Maiβs hand, and they left the room.
βWhere is it? Where is it?β
βDonβt be so impatient.β
She led him to the outer side of a wall, standing before an imposing gate. Yuan Jiaqiβs mouth hung open. βI donβt remember having this at home?β
βI set it up in one night.β He swallowed, βWife, youβre amazing.β
βFlattering. Is it good?β
Qiao Mai took a key from her pocket, unlocked the gate, and led him inside.
When he saw the snow-covered mountain, Yuan Jiaqi was shocked and stared at everything in disbelief. βWife, did you do all this?β βWhat else could it be?β
βAre you a fairy, wife?β
βNo. Iβm a cultivator.β
βAlright, itβs nothing. I just moved things from elsewhere, nothing extraordinary.β
βBut in this world, no one can do this as far as I know.β
βOkay, Iβve said it. Youβll know in your heart. Donβt ask too much.β
βOh, how do we play with this?β
First, practice skiing. Qiao Mai waved her hand, and two sets of skis appeared on the ground. She stepped onto them, holding support in both hands, and started sliding on the snow.
She had known how to ski in her past life, although she hadnβt done it for a while. But as soon as she tried it, the familiar feeling rushed back.
Yuan Jiaqiβs eyes were filled with complex emotions as he watched his wife skillfully skiing, sliding from low to high and rushing down from a slope, even performing a flip in the air.
The movements were handsome. βWife, Iβm extremely impressed.β
βYou can do it too. Shall I teach you?β
Yuan Jiaqi quickly waved his hands, βNo, no, Iβm not cut out for skiing. Iβm good at studying.β
βNow you know where I went all night.β
βYeah, is this called a ski area?β
βYes, let the children relax here when they have nothing to do. They all have martial arts skills, and you donβt have to worry about their safety, even
Chuanβer.β
βThe scenery here is mindblowing. I miss the snow in the north. Seeing this scene reminds me of Tianshui Town.β
βWhen youβre old, weβll retire to Tianshui Town. The children can take care of things here.β
βYeah, I also have this intention.β
Qiao Mai waved her hand, and several pairs of skis appeared on the ground. She put the skis aside, took off the ones on her feet, and then walked out of the gate holding Yuan Jiaqi, locking it behind her. βLetβs give them a surprise on New Yearβs Day?β
βHmm.β
Yuan Jiaqi didnβt have to go to court today. The affairs this year were numerous, but after the second day of the new year, he would officially take office.
The few days they could gather were only these.
As for the Fengyun brothers, they would take turns in office this year. One on New Yearβs Day and the other on the second day. Fortunately, Yunβer was in office on the second day, or his wife must return to her maiden family alone.
As Qiao Mai had sent the New Yearβs gift yesterday, the two in-laws returned the gift today.
Qiao Mai hadnβt slept all night. At this moment, she was sleeping soundly on the warm bed. As the family head, Yuan Jiaqi settled the return gifts.
He chatted with Old Master and Mistress Wang. βTeacher, donβt the Wang and
Pang family need to send New Yearβs gifts? We still have a lot left.β
βThe Wang family doesnβt need to send. The Pang family depends on your grandmother.β
Old Mistress Wang rolled her eyes. βWe sent it early. Although they donβt lack anything, there should be etiquette. Iβm a person who wonβt lose out, but I wonβt take care of your affairs with the Wang family.β βWeβve fallen out. I wonβt give them anything.β
βJiaqi. β
βIβm here.β
βNow that you are the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, you need someone you trust to manage around you.β
βAre you suggesting something?β
βI think Ruyiβs husband has a good character. You can discuss this with the
Emperor and transfer him to the capital. After the New Year, Chuanβer and Zihan will take the imperial examination..β
