In the evening, the Song family all went to the main hall to have New Year's Eve dinner. The food was very rich, including things that flew in the sky, things that ran on the ground, and things that swam in the water.
Lin Qingxue was still diligent in helping Liu, Song Heng and Song Ziyu use serving chopsticks to pick up the food.
Shen Wan and Shen Ming didn't say much, they just ate in silence.
After dinner, the family sat and drank tea for a while, and then went back to their respective courtyards to stay up late. However, Lin Qingxue and Song Ziyu did not go back to their own courtyards, but went to the Liu family. Song Heng went to the study first. , and then also went to Liu's courtyard.
After Shen Wan and others returned to Qiushi Courtyard, they all washed up and climbed onto the couch outside. While eating melon seeds, they waited for the arrival of the New Year.
Shen Wan felt that the ancient way of staying up late on New Year's Eve was too boring, unlike in modern times where you can play mahjong and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
She originally wanted to play some small games to kill time, but she was afraid of losing her vest in front of her brother, so she gave up the idea.
After watching and watching, the two children couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep.
Afraid of waking them up, Shen Wan and the others did not speak anymore, but quietly ate melon seeds.
Qiu Ju saw that the time was almost up, so she and Wuyi went out to the kitchen to cook some small glutinous rice balls, which would be delicious later.
"Crackling..."
There was a loud sound of firecrackers outside.
"Happy New Year and all the best, Ming'er."
"Happy New Year, sister, and all the best."
The two siblings wished each other Happy New Year and smiled at each other.
Song Ziling and Ling'er were also woken up. They rubbed their eyes and said, "Mom, happy New Year, uncle."
"good"
"good"
Shen Ming and Shen Wan looked at the two children and said "good boy" in unison.
Qiu Ju and Wu Yi entered the house carrying glutinous rice balls. Qiu Ju said with a smile: "Madam and Master Shen are indeed siblings. They have such a tacit understanding."
After saying that, she and Wuyi put the glutinous rice balls on the table.
Shen Wan and the others got off the bed, each of them finished eating the glutinous rice balls, then yawned and went back to their rooms to sleep.
As soon as Shen Wan took off her clothes and was about to lie down, she heard someone knocking on her window.
"Who?" she asked warily.
Qiu Ju and the others would never knock on her window in the middle of the night. Who knew who had eaten too much and had nothing to do?
"It's me." A deep male voice came from outside.
Song Heng?
It turned out that the man who had eaten too much and had nothing to do was General Song.
Shen Wan frowned, which song was he singing? The courtyard door was locked when Ming'er left. He must have climbed over the wall again.
"What?" Shen Wan asked dryly.
Song Heng who was outside put his hands behind his back, turned his head and looked at Shang Xuanyue in the sky and said: "Nothing else, I just want to say Happy New Year to you."
In the past, whenever he was at home, they would always wish each other Happy New Year immediately.
Shen Wan's heart was struck, and she was stunned for a moment before she said: "Happy New Year."
However, she was greeted with silence, and she thought Song Heng had left. After a while, she got off the bed, walked to the window and opened it.
"Ah..." She didn't expect Song Heng to still be standing outside the window, and was startled by him.
Song Heng didn't expect that she didn't come to open the window, so he was stunned when he saw her.
"You didn't know how to make a sound even before you left?" Shen Wan patted her chest as if she was frightened.
Seeing that she was frightened, Song Heng quickly said, "It's not me."
