Yuan Jin followed Wei Xiyin into the dining room.
When she saw the table full of dishes, her eyes widened.
There were not only bacon and sausages on the table, but also dumplings!
There was not enough food in Hedong State. Although the brother and sister were of noble status, they did not dare to be extravagant. They ate simple meals every day and their mouths were almost dry.
Wu Niang and the others actually have so much food reserves.
Wei Xiyin kindly explained, "Only the bacon and sausage are ours. The dumplings were sent by the host family in Lingqiu County."
Yuan Jin: “…” Her mind suddenly became confused.
We have been talking about feelings for a long time and chatting for an entire afternoon. Aren’t you the one who is in charge of Lingqiu County?
Then why can you open the city gate?
Wei Xiyin called Fang Niang over and asked in front of Yuan Jin, "Have you prepared a banquet for the Hedong Army?"
Fang Niang replied respectfully, "My lady, everything is prepared." The idea of tonight was to let everyone eat to their heart's content, so there was plenty of food prepared.
Yuan Jin put aside his previous shock and was deeply moved by what he said. He said proudly, "Wu Niang, please put it in your account! I will definitely pay you back double the food in the future!"
Wei Xiyin smiled lightly and said nothing.
Night falls.
The cold wind howled past, carrying with it large flakes of falling snow.
When Wei Lang learned that dinner was about to start, he threw his horse to the guard and hurried to the main courtyard.
As soon as I entered the house and saw a large table of food, I was so happy.
"Sister!" Wei Lang shouted, "Eat!"
Yuan Jin stared at him for a long while, then slapped his head and said in sudden realization, "Is this Erlang?"
I didn't notice it at the city gate during the day.
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw Gong Chun enter the room. She stood up suddenly, her expression extremely shocked, and pointed at him for a long while and said, "You... why are you here?!"
Wei Xiyin pulled her brother to sit down without even looking at the two of them.
They are both from Sizhou, so there's nothing strange about them knowing each other.
Gong Chun looked calm, "Why can't I be here?" He had already received news that Yuan Jin was here, so he was not shocked.
Yuan Jin stammered for a long time, not knowing how to refute.
The two did know each other, but they were just acquaintances. They were not familiar enough to question each other loudly.
Those aristocratic families lived under the emperor's nose, so how could they dare to get too close to the vassal kings? Yuan Jin knew him, but they had met a few times before.
It’s a similar situation to Wei Xiyin’s.
moment.
Dong Zhiyao also came over.
As for Chang Ying, he was eating next door with the Cheng brothers.
Seeing that everyone was present, Wei Xiyin asked everyone to take a seat and prepared to start the meal.
How can I describe this New Year’s Eve dinner?
The dishes were extremely rich, and it should have been a lively occasion to welcome the New Year, but a group of people from all over the world gathered together, and no one said a word. The room was quiet and a little awkward.
Only Wei Lang was grunting as he buried his head in his meal. This was delicious, that was delicious too, and he couldn't stop eating.
When a group of people saw him eating, they felt their appetites whetted.
Especially Yuan Jin, who had been on the run for two days and had hardly eaten anything. When he saw the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, he didn't care about being reserved at all and ate with Wei Lang.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, it’s time to stay up all night.
After eating and drinking, Yuan Jin felt very tired, but since the host didn't say anything, she forced herself to sit still.
The group moved to the main hall.
Wei Xiyin was about to ask everyone to go back and rest.
Gong Chun suddenly took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Wei Lang.
Wei Lang reached out and took it foolishly.
The red envelope is made of red cloth. It looks bulgy, but it doesn’t feel like a red egg. I have no idea what’s inside.
Just as he was about to open it, Dong Zhiyao silently took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to him.
This made Wei Lang very happy, "Thank you!"
He happily accepted the red envelope and turned to look at his sister with expectant eyes.
As if to say 'You're the only one missing'.
Wei Xiyin: “…”
Yuan Jin looked embarrassed. "Well... I haven't prepared anything yet. I'll owe it to you first. I'll give Erlang a big red envelope in a few days."
Wei Xiyin: “…” Can you say that you are not prepared either?
Looking at her brother's expectant eyes, she said with a stiff upper lip, "Don't worry, Erlang. I'll give you my share later."
I have to hurry into the house and look around to see if there are any small things I can put in the red envelope.
These two people are really something. They prepared the red envelope privately without even informing her in advance.
We are all of the same generation, so just send each other a few New Year greetings. Why engage in internal competition in this regard?
"Okay!" Wei Lang replied loudly, not noticing anything at all. As long as he received the red envelope, it was fine, so he happily agreed.
Gong Chun understood what she said, and sneered without exposing her.
He and Dong Zhiyao each took out two red envelopes and handed them to Wei Xiyin and Yuan Jin.
Now that everything has been prepared, everyone who sees it will naturally get a share.
It was because there was suddenly one more person and they needed to give an additional New Year's red envelope that the two of them arrived so late for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Yuan Jin was very surprised. He didn't expect that he had it too, and thanked him repeatedly.
Gong Liulang was okay, but she didn't know the other person at all. It was weird to receive a New Year's red envelope from a stranger. She felt like she owed him a favor.
But during the New Year, it seems not good to refuse, as it would be embarrassing.
Wei Xiyin: “…” Just roll her up to death, she is not prepared for anything.
I feel really guilty about accepting this red envelope.
After presenting the gift, Gong Chun stood up and said goodbye.
The family gathers together to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year, which is also called "staying up all night to celebrate the New Year", symbolizing the driving away of all evil plagues and diseases.
In today's world, this seems quite ironic.
Yuan Jin hadn't rested for several days and was almost unable to bear it.
