Jiang Yifan didn't pay attention to the look Jinrong was giving him, but simply smiled and asked Qi Younian, "Why is it only the old master here today? Where is Brother Jia, I haven't seen him come out?"
Before, whenever Qi Jiaer heard that Lord Jiang had arrived, he would run faster than anyone, sometimes without even bothering to put on his coat before dashing out. Yet today was strange, for there was no sign of him.
Qi Younian replied with a smile, "With the New Year approaching, it's bustling outside. Brother Jia and Sanshun have been pestering Master Guan to take them to the market and haven't returned yet. They must be having so much fun that they don't want to come back. When they left, they even pouted, saying that Lord Jiang never takes a day off and wondering when you would take them to the market for some delicious treats."
Jiang Yifan once again found himself the target of Jinrong's animosity.
