No matter how Fan Yuelan explained, Mrs. Xu just didn't believe it and bit her to death. She hated the old Zhao family and wanted to take revenge by asking the old Zhao family to go to the door of Yun's house to ask for a beating.
Fan Yuelan was so excited that she fainted.
Looking at Fan Yuelan who fainted, Mrs. Xu felt that the whole world was pure.
On New Year's Eve, the people of Shen Zhai decorated the house cheerfully and full of New Year's flavor early in the morning.
After breakfast, Wu Niang and the maid got busy and started preparing for tonight's sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
Madam said that tonight's New Year's Eve dinner will be eaten together by everyone in the house, and there will also be a lottery draw just like when Yan returned to the building! Shen Wan likes the winter in Jiangzhou very much, it is not cold at all, unlike in It was the same as when he was in the Imperial City. Leng learned that he had to light the stove even if he could stay indoors.
In the evening, all the servants of Shen House gathered in the main hall and had a lively New Year's Eve dinner. After the meal, they also played a lottery game.
The prizes were also silver. The first prize was fifty taels, and Zhao Wuniang got it. Zhao Wuniang was so happy that the corners of her mouth never dropped. She also said that she would make fried candy cakes for everyone tomorrow.
Eating fried sugar cakes on the first day of the Lunar New Year has the meaning of sweetness from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
After drawing the prizes, everyone sat in the main hall to watch the New Year's Eve. Some even told stories about the gods they had heard from the older generation, as well as interesting stories about people in their own villages in the past.
Halfway through the vigil, Xiao An couldn't help but fell asleep, and Shen Wan took him back to his room to sleep.
She originally took him back to her room to sleep, but when she saw that she couldn't walk on the bed, she lay down next to Xiao An and fell asleep.
Now that her sleeping schedule is regular, she can no longer stay up late at all.
Hui'er and the others never came back, so they went back to the house to take a look and saw that she and Xiao An were sleeping soundly with their heads together, so they didn't wake her up.
When it was over, the servants set off a long string of firecrackers at the gate, ate the dumplings cooked by Wu Niang, and then took a rest.
Shen Wan slept even more like a pig, and the firecrackers all over the city did not wake her up.
When I opened my eyes, it was already bright.
She sat up with her hands on the bed and looked at the sunlight filtering into the house through the green gauze on the window, "It's a new year again."
Xiao Zi'an woke up early and was already dressed and eating sweet glutinous rice balls and sweet fried sugar cakes with Song Ziyu outside.
Hearing the commotion inside, Chunyu brought hot water for washing in. After washing and getting dressed, Shen Wan went out and had a bowl of sweet glutinous rice balls.
When the servants in the mansion learned that Madam had woken up, they all came to the main courtyard to wish Shen Wan New Year.
Shen Wan asked Hui'er to give out the red envelopes she had prepared long ago to the servants. The red envelopes worth five taels of silver were more than double their monthly money.
Shen Wan also prepared red envelopes for Song Ziyu and Zian.
The red envelope contained a golden cat head, and both of them were very happy to receive the red envelope.
"Thank you, mother."
Today, Song Ziyu wore a peach-pink cross-neck skirt, a hanging bun, and two beaded flowers and red begonia flowers on her head. She looked particularly charming in person. She held a red envelope in both hands and thanked her happily.
"Thank you, mother."
Zian also thanked him.
Shen Wan was going to Yun's house to pay New Year's greetings. After Hui'er prepared the New Year's gifts, Shen Wan took Xiao An next door. Song Ziyu also wanted to go out and proposed the idea of going with him, but was Shen Wan refused.
Rejected, Song Ziyu drooped her eyebrows and sent the two to the gate. She watched them enter Yun's house before going back in low spirits.
On New Year's Day, the streets were very lively. Chun Yu and the others wanted to go shopping together, and Song Ziyu also wanted to go out.
But Chunyu and the others remembered what Madam said, saying they couldn't let Miss Ziyu go out, so they said they couldn't take her with them.
But at the same time, I felt that it was quite pitiful that they all went out and only Miss Ziyu was left at home.
In the end, Zhao Wuniang and Qing Xing said that they would not go out and would stay in the house with Miss Ziyu, so Chunyu and the others went out with peace of mind.
