This year is the same as before. On the first day of the new year, Wang Yu will go to Songjia Village to visit Master Song. Song's father will send the New Year gifts brought back by Wang Yu to the village chief's house. People in the village will also visit each other on this day, and the family must prepare some candies, melon seeds, tea and snacks to entertain the guests.

When the children in the village come to pay New Year's greetings, you can't be stingy and give them a handful of candy. Even if there is no candy bought, there are homemade rice cakes, candies, etc. If you say who are the happiest people during the New Year, it may be these children, who can eat candies and snacks that they can't eat on weekdays, and so much of them.

Wang Yu first went to the town to meet up with Chen Yanwen, and then took a carriage to Songjia Village. When he arrived, Song Boyan was already at Master Song's house. The one who opened the door was Master Song's son, Song Qiran. He had grown a lot taller in a year and had already passed the examination to become a student.

After Wang Yu wished Master Song a happy new year, he teased Song Qiran, saying, "Happy new year, little master too!"

He felt embarrassed by what Wang Yu said, and a childish shyness finally appeared on his serious face, with the tips of his ears turning red. Seeing him like this, everyone laughed at him unkindly.

Chen Yanwen took out a red envelope and handed it to Song Qiran, saying it was New Year's money for him. Then Wang Yu also took out one.

Master Song was also very happy to see them today. The three of them were all students taught by him. He only hoped that there would be a few more outstanding students like them. They went to the study and talked about the affairs of the provincial school and their own learning progress.

Before leaving, Master Song told them to study hard and strive to pass the provincial examination in three years.

After that, they went to Song Boyan's house. Song's mother prepared tea and cakes for them. She was in high spirits. Chen Yanwen asked curiously if there was any good news.

Song's mother nodded and said that Song Boyan was about to get married. Chen Yanwen glared at her, "Song Boyan, you've been holding back and haven't told us yet. If your aunt hadn't told us, when would you have told us?"

Song Boyan's face was unusually dark with a hint of embarrassment. Of course, he had been studying and not working out this year, so his skin had become noticeably whiter. He explained, "I was just about to tell you."

Wang Yu was also surprised to see him like this. Song Boyan had always been a mature person, but now he was a little shy. He smiled and asked him when it happened.

This story starts from when Song Boyan came back and went to Master Song's house. Song Boyan had already reached adulthood but had not yet taken a courtesy name. Song Boyan was a member of the Song family clan. After Master Song told his clan members about this, he gave him the courtesy name Ziheng, Song Ziheng.

Then, thinking that he was already an adult and could get married, he asked him if he had such plans. Song Boyan said that his mother had such plans and was preparing to find a wife for him.

After Master Song found out, he told his mother about a girl from a family that was the daughter of Master Song's classmate, who was also a scholar. The daughter was seventeen years old and gentle and quiet. He knew his classmate's character and believed that the daughter he taught would not harm Song Boyan.

Song's mother also believed Master Song, but she still asked someone to inquire about it. It turned out that she was indeed a very good girl as Master Song said, so she arranged for a matchmaker to come to her house to propose marriage, and asked Master Song to come to her house to talk to her. They decided to get engaged after the new year and find an auspicious day for the wedding.

Chen Yanwen slammed the table and said, "Of course, you've done something great without making a sound! Let me tell you, I also have a courtesy name. My clan gave me the courtesy name Chen Yuanjing, so you can call me Yuanjing from now on."

"Congratulations, Ziheng! We will definitely be there on your wedding day." Wang Yu said to Chen Yanwen, "And Yuan Jing, when can we drink your wedding wine?"

"My mother is also planning to have a fortune-teller look at me. I don't know how my grandmother will handle this year..."

Speaking of this, everyone fell silent...

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How about coming to my house on the sixth day of the New Year? I tell you, our chef has finally made a hot pot that tastes just like it."

Uh... Wang Yu only gave him the ingredient list at the time, but he didn't expect this person to be so persistent and actually researched out the exact same one?

"Okay, come to my house on the seventh day."

After the three of them made the decision, they went back home. After returning home, Wang Yu learned another thing. The family that originally wanted to give Wang Yu a concubine later went to the provincial capital. The Zhou family had no chance to find him, so they sent Zhou Mei to a wealthy family in the town to be a concubine.

It was said that the man was over 40 years old and already had several concubines. Wang's mother sighed and said, "Isn't this selling your daughter?" Wang Yu didn't feel much after hearing this. If his mother hadn't said that he didn't remember the incident and that the family had nothing to do with him, he would have just listened to it and let it go.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Yu accompanied Cheng Chen back to her parents' home. Cheng's eldest brother Feifei came back from the provincial capital with Wang Yu and others. The eldest sister-in-law was already showing signs of pregnancy at seven months, but she could eat and drink well and looked very healthy. She was going to give birth in more than two months.

Feifei knew in the capital that he was going to have a brother or sister. Seeing his mother's big belly, he asked curiously, "Are the brothers or sisters inside?"

Cheng Chen touched his head and said, "He's in there. You'll be able to see him in two months or so."

"Mom said I came out from there too."

The childish chatter made everyone laugh. Lin Cui smiled and said, "That day he came back and saw my belly. He asked me why my brother and sister were inside. I said you came out from inside too. Then he looked at himself with a look of disbelief."

Hahahaha... Feifei feels that he is so big that his mother's belly can't hold him.

They sat and chatted for a while. Cheng's mother prepared to go to the kitchen to cook, and Cheng Chen went to help. Wang Yu was outside testing Cheng Fei's knowledge.

While picking vegetables, Cheng's mother asked Cheng Chen, "Is there still no movement?"

Cheng Chen didn't understand what was going on at first, but when he saw his mother looking at her belly, he understood and shook his head.

Seeing this, Cheng's mother sighed and said, "Don't worry. Having a son is not easy. In the past two years, your husband was reluctant to give birth to you because he was young. As long as he treats you well, it's fine."
