Chapter 405 New Year Greetings (2)
“This is possible!”
"Hahaha···"
Yue Ruyan was enjoying the fun and gave the little cub a thumbs-up. Everyone else couldn't help but burst into laughter, including the person involved, Shen Xiangwan. Only Wei Chengyi immediately hugged his wife and said seriously, "Wanwan is my wife, you can't marry her!"
"ah?"
The little cub looked disappointed. He thought his aunt was the best daughter-in-law and his second uncle was so mean. Why did he compete with him for her?
"Little bastard, if you keep thinking about your aunt, I'll beat your ass."
Even without the ability to read minds, Wei Chengyi could still tell what he was thinking from his sad little expression. His deep eyes immediately narrowed, and he couldn't help but tighten his arms around his wife, strongly defending his sovereignty.
"oh."
Under the threat of a spanking, the young cub had to give up the idea of marrying his aunt. He was completely depressed. Seeing this, Wei Chenghe quickly hugged him and whispered to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, An'er. Second sister-in-law likes you the most. We will marry secretly in the future and won't let your second uncle know."
"good."
The little cub perked up instantly, but Wei Chengyi's face darkened again: "I already know."
"Oh, my second uncle heard it."
"Hahaha···"
As if it had just noticed his presence, the little cub let out a strange cry and covered its face with its hands, making everyone in the room burst into laughter again. The only one who couldn't laugh was probably Wei Chengyi, whose wife had been robbed several times.
"Uncle, Aunt, Happy New Year!"
After some laughter and playfulness, the little cub bowed with both hands, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them. Shen Xiangwan and his wife both took out red envelopes and gave him a handful of candy: "Get up, I hope you will be happy and healthy this year too."
"good."
The little cub responded obediently, turned around and knelt in front of Wei Chenghe and his sister, as well as Yue Ruyan, and wished them a happy new year. They also hoped that their children would be healthy and happy. In this era where even a cold could be fatal, health is undoubtedly the most important thing.
“Ahh…”
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the little dumpling sitting alone in the crib yelled loudly. Shen Xiangwan turned around and took the red envelope and handed it to him: "Here, our little dumpling will be healthy this year too!"
“Ahh…”
Holding the red envelope given by his sister-in-law, the little girl kept waving it and laughing with saliva dripping from her mouth. She was so adorable.
"Happy New Year, Junior Brother."
Wei Chengyi also came over and gave him a red envelope. Because he was still young, the couple did not give him the candy on the table, but took out a few lollipops and handed them to him.
“Ahh…”
Seeing the lollipops, the little boy decisively dropped the red envelope, grabbed a lollipop in one hand, and pretended to put it in his mouth. Yun Mengyi quickly stepped forward and snatched all the lollipops away, taking out only one, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into his mouth: "Little foodie, you're always thinking about this little treat, right?"
“Mmm…”
With a lollipop in his mouth, the little dumpling's voice was not very smooth, but from the little movements of him waving it constantly, it can be seen that he was very happy.
"Little dumpling..."
Afterwards, Zhao Yuping, Wei Chengyi and Yue Ruyan also gave him a red envelope each. The little boy didn't understand anything and just accepted them all. Soon, there were several red envelopes piled up in front of him.
"Old Madam, Mr. Ji, Mr. Yun, Second Master, Madam, Happy New Year!"
After the children finished paying their New Year's greetings, Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying bowed in unison.
"Okay, okay, you guys too."
Several elders were happy and gave them red envelopes as well. Wei Chengyi and his wife were no exception. At that time, the red envelopes were not wrapped in red paper, but red purses, which usually contained silver coins, gold melon seeds, gold leaves, etc.
"Thanks."
The two thanked them and stepped aside. Zhou Wushuang and the Wu family, who had left earlier, came in with all their servants and knelt in front of them: "Happy New Year to the masters. I wish you good health and all the best!"
"I wish you good health and all the best!"
Everyone echoed in unison and kowtowed three times to them.
"Everyone, get up."
As the head lady of the household, Shen Xiangwan gave each of them a red envelope. "Thank you for your hard work over the past year. This year, I hope you will do what you should do. If you all behave properly, I can promise that when we leave, we can remove your slavery and set you free."
"Thank you, ma'am!"
They didn't expect the lady to make such a promise to them. Many people couldn't help but feel overjoyed, but some people were not very willing, such as Zhou Wushuang. She had no other family members and had long regarded this place as her home. She had never thought about regaining her freedom.
"Go down..."
"Grandma, we are here to pay New Year's greetings."
Before Shen Xiangwan finished speaking, the tender voice of little Wei Yunyi suddenly rang out. Not long after, he came in with the Wan family, followed by Wei Jinghan's family. Logically speaking, as elders, they should not come to wish them a happy new year, but they are a branch family, and even if Wei Chengyi and his wife are of a lower generation, they should take the initiative to come and wish them a happy new year.
After the people from the separated families paid their New Year's greetings, the Yan family and several generals' families followed closely. After they left, Wei Chengyi and his wife, along with Yue Ruyan, took Wei Chenghe and his sister and their children to the Yan family to pay New Year's greetings to Yan Lang. On the morning of the first day of the New Year, the families spent the morning greeting each other. In the afternoon, they had nothing to do, so Shen Xiangwan took out a deck of cards from the space, and after briefly teaching everyone how to play, they played Landlord the whole afternoon.
The New Year atmosphere in this era was still very heavy. From the first day to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone was immersed in a joyful atmosphere. But after the Lantern Festival, Yan Lang and his son, Qingying and several generals left. There were still many things to do outside, and they couldn't stay at home for a long time.
"The rebellion was completely suppressed?"
On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Wei Chengyi received a message from Binzhou. Both he and his wife looked unhappy. No one had expected that the rebel army, which had not won a victory before the New Year but had not let the Binzhou army get away with it, would be suppressed so suddenly.
"Um."
Nodding, Wei Chengyi sighed, "The Binzhou army took advantage of the rebels' Lantern Festival to launch a surprise attack, completely suppressing the rebels at the cost of nearly half of their men being killed or wounded. Except for our men, the leader and all important personnel were executed."
For them, this was not good news, because no one knew whether the emperor would pull the Binzhou army to the provincial capital near Chenzhou.
"Is the dignified General Zhenbei only capable of sneak attacks?"
Shen Xiangwan curled her lips in disdain. She knew that a sneak attack was also a form of victory, and it was Wanqishan's ability to successfully launch a sneak attack, but she was just unhappy that the rebels were suppressed so easily.
