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 glutinous rice balls, which would be delicious later.
"Crackling..."
There was a loud sound of firecrackers outside.
"Happy New Year Ming'er and all the best."
"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 dumplings, then yawned and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Shen Wan had just taken off her clothes and was about to lie down when 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. 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 hurriedly said: "It's not me."
Seeing him admitting his mistake seriously, Shen Wan felt angry and funny.
"By the way, tomorrow morning, after paying New Year's greetings to my mother, I will go to Huguo Temple to offer incense." This is the custom that I have to go to every year.
Shen Wan nodded and said, "I understand, go back! I'm going to sleep."
It's a good idea to go to Huguo Temple to offer incense and pray to Bodhisattva to bless Ming'er so she can go to high school.
After saying that, she was about to close the window. Song Heng stretched out his hand and pressed against the window that was about to be closed.
"What else do you want to do?" Shen Wan frowned.
Seeing the impatient look on her face, Song Heng felt his heart was pricked by a needle, so he withdrew his hand and said: Go to sleep!"
After saying that, he turned around and left with his hands behind his back. His back looked so lonely in the night.
Shen Wan watched for a while, slowly closed the window, walked to the soft toilet, took off her clothes and lay down on the couch. She fell asleep thinking about Song Heng's lonely forehead and back when he left.
Fortunately, the next day, everyone had panda eyes, so no one noticed that she had stayed up all night.
Shen Wan yawned, and after washing, she yawned again and gave red envelopes to her brother, son, and maid who came to pay her New Year greetings.
After eating glutinous rice balls in the morning, she asked Qiu Ju to give out red envelopes to the servants and soldiers in the mansion, while she took Shen Ming and the two children to Liu Shi'er's place to pay New Year's greetings.
When they arrived at Liu's courtyard, Song Ziyu and Lin Qingxue had already arrived.
In the past, Song Ziyu was very active in front of Mr. Liu, but today he was a little quiet.
When Shen Wan entered the house, she blessed Mrs. Liu and said, "Happy New Year, mother."
"Happy New Year, madam." Shen Ming bowed to Ms. Liu.
"Happy New Year, grandma." Song Ziling made a big bow.
"Happy New Year, madam." Ling'er also made a big bow.
After all, it was the Chinese New Year. Although Mrs. Liu was a little dissatisfied that Shen Wan and the others came too late, she still didn't show it.
In fact, Shen Wan and the others were not late, but Lin Qingxue and the others came too early, which made it seem like they were late.
"Okay, okay, I'm all happy." After she said that, she gave red envelopes to Shen Wan and others one by one.
"Happy New Year, sister." Lin Qingxue greeted Shen Wanfu respectfully.
Shen Wan took out the red envelope prepared in her sleeve and handed it to her. She smiled and said: "Be good."
Lin Qingxue felt that this red envelope was particularly annoying. Only big people in this world would give out red envelopes to small ones. She immediately understood this red envelope as a kind of demonstration.
"Thank you, sister." She lowered her head and took the red envelope, just to prevent others from seeing the cruel look in her eyes.
"Happy New Year, Mom." Song Ziyu also stood up and wished Shen Wan New Year.
Shen Wan looked at her and said "Be good" and then handed her a red envelope.
Song Ziyu was stunned for a moment after taking the red envelope, because it was quite heavy and didn't feel like a copper plate. It seemed to contain several taels of silver! This was not at all like her mother's style. After all, her mother used to know only Includes twenty coins.
Lin Qingxue looked at Shen Ming, Song Ziling and Ling'er with a smile on her face, waiting for the three of them to wish her new year. But after waiting for a long time, the three of them did not move. It was obvious that they did not let her as an elder go. In her eyes, such disregard was a great insult to Lin Qingxue. Her hands in her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and she breathed out the fragrance silently in her heart.
After a while, Song Heng entered the house. Shen Ming and his three children were busy wishing him New Year's greetings. He also gave him the red envelope that he had prepared long ago.
Then, we went to Huguo Temple to offer incense.
After Qiu Ju handed out the red envelopes, she and Wu Yi hugged each other outside Liu's courtyard.
After Shen Wan and the others came out, they left the house together.
When she left the mansion, Shen Wan found that all the servants and soldiers she met on the road smiled brightly and said Happy New Year to her, smiling brighter than Mrs. Liu and Lin Qingxue.
She thought about it and felt that this should be the charm of the red envelope.
Lin Qingxue saw everyone smiling so brightly at Shen Wan, and she felt very puzzled. She was the one who was paying them wages and red envelopes now. What were they doing with that country woman smiling so brightly?
Only after returning from Huguo Temple did she realize that the red envelope given by Shen Wan was bigger than hers.
