It was the night when the big red lanterns that were originally hung happily all over the Han Courtyard, as if there was a lot of mildew on them, and they were all taken down overnight. Only as in other courtyards, two wind lanterns are hung in front of the door to weakly illuminate the dark night sky. And the people in the whole Han Academy, after a day of hard work, slowly sink into a sweet dream, although each person's dream is different, but they are all warm, beautiful, there is their own existence in the dream, and there are those who make their hearts full.

As the saying goes, "the blessing of the evil depends, and the blessing of the disaster lies in waiting", just when everyone in the Song Mansion was still immersed in sleep, a carriage carrying Qi Lanyue galloped out of the city from the corner gate of the East Street of the Song Mansion while it was dark. And this also announced the end of Song Han's continuation problem that everyone has been concerned about for many years, and also announced that Song Han, the third young man of the Song family's big house on East Street, has only one son and one daughter since then.

In view of the fact that Mrs. Song deliberately exempted their sister and brother from asking for peace last night, Song Rumu, who slept until she woke up naturally, couldn't help but lie in the quilt and be stunned for a long time when she found that the room was unusually bright, and only after a while did she remember that it must be because of the snow-covered ground outside, and the room that reflected was brighter than every room she had lived in before.

And the laughter from time to time in the courtyard made Song Rumu resist all the temptations of lazy beds, rubbed her eyes, got up and stretched, opened the window and looked out.

A cold wind blew in and blew away the night's turbidity in the room. Song Rumu took a deep breath of the unusually cold cold wind, and saw Lu Yixuan and Song Nianzhi, who were dressed in snow-white cloaks in the courtyard, trying to pile up something with the snow that everyone had picked up, and on the side were the two people around Song Rumu, Tea Yu and Tea Xiang, and Song Nianzhi's Nuan Ji and Han Ji and others kept digging snow for the two.

Through the gap in the crowd, Song Rumu almost laughed when she saw the results of several people who had been busy for a long time. Holding back the smile, Song Rumu couldn't bear the urgency in her heart anymore and quietly closed the window, put on her clothes a few times, mixed the hot water on the stove with cold water, washed her face indiscriminately, and then opened the door and ran to everyone.

"Sister......" Song Nian cheered, ran to her sister Song Rumu with a happy face, and took the initiative to take her sister Song Rumu's hand. While swaying, he said excitedly: "Sister, guess who it is?" ”

Following Song Nianzhi's guidance, Song Rumu only saw three snowdrifts that were not even vaguely shaped, and she had already known them before. Therefore, Song Rumu did not laugh out loud as before, but stood in place mysteriously and pretended to ponder for a moment, before he smiled at Song Nianzhi, who was looking forward to the chief inspector, and Lu Yixuan, who came over: "This is Nianzhi, this is Brother Xuan, huh?" Is this one? It's Daddy, right? ”

"No, no...... Sister guess again. Look carefully......" Song Nianzhi's little face that was blown red by the wind was filled with the purest sweet smile, as if nothing had happened last night, and his eyes were shining as he looked at his sister Song Rumu.

"That's not right, who is that?" Looking at the snow doll's head that was eye-catching and red, Song Rumu frowned more and more.

"What did Mu'er promise me yesterday, could it be that Chengdu forgot?" , Lu Yixuan, who had been standing beside the two of them with a smile, finally reminded him at this time.

These words almost choked Song Rumu, who still wanted to continue to tease Song Nianzhi, to death, if he said everything directly, wouldn't there be a lot of interesting things in life?

Thankfully, a small hand was on her back in time, allowing her to breathe a breath of fresh and free air before choking.

Seeing that it was Lu Yixuan, who choked her when she spoke, her conscience found that she gently stroked her back. Song Rumu felt that her heart was beating wildly after missing half a beat in an instant. At the same time, the voice of "perverted girl, rotten girl" also echoed in her heart, reminding her of the fact that Lu Yixuan is still a baby.

is the same as the self-deprecation a few years ago, Song Rumu suddenly had an urge to burst into laughter. But what is slightly different is that Song Rumu didn't burst out laughing, but just pursed her lips and smiled after combing her long hair with her hands, and said in a low voice to Lu Yixuan, who was smiling: "This can't be me, right?" ”

"Who said it wasn't you? Ha ha...... Now who dares to say that we don't pile up well, let's kick them away", got the answer, and with the laughter of everyone present, Lu Yixuan said with a smile.

So a few days after returning to the Song Mansion for the first time. Song Rumu and the others spent their time leisurely in the Han Courtyard. As for the second aunt, who was extremely enthusiastic when she first returned home, she had never come to Hanyuan since that night, but the eldest aunt brought her lobby sister Song Hanyu to come over from time to time, or when Song Rumu and Song Nianzhi went to ask them for peace, they would always shush the two and ask them if they were of any use.

For the reason why the second aunt refused to come to Hanyuan again. Song Rumu and others naturally know it, but the etiquette that should be there is absolutely indispensable. In this way, every day Song Rumu goes to the second aunt to say goodbye, God blesses, although she has to face the cold face and cynicism of the second aunt every time, but there is at least a likable cousin Song Ruixi in the second room, and every time the cousin happily pulls her and Song Nianzhi to talk about the west. When trying her best to resolve the embarrassment caused by the second aunt, Song Rumu felt extra sympathetic to the second cousin.

As the New Year approached and the children began to set off firecrackers all day long, Song Rumu and Song Nianzhi visited Song Han's parents under the leadership of Song Han, that is, Song Nianzhi's maternal grandfather's family, and began to send New Year's gifts to several families with Song Han every day. In the process of giving New Year's gifts, the good performance of the Song sisters and brothers made several masters satisfied, but they all began to secretly envy the Song Mansion on East Street.

Especially Song Nianzhi's performance, it was like a lively little Song Han, which made several masters not only think of many past events back then, but also secretly regret it, and inevitably think of the momentum of the Song Mansion on East Street in the future. So several family owners held the mood of releasing their previous suspicions, treated Song Han and the Song brothers and sisters as guests, and intensively discussed with Song Han to prepare for the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Song sisters and brothers entered the shrine to worship.

The attitude of several family masters who did their best made the old lady Song of the Song Mansion on East Street extremely satisfied. So whenever he went out, he couldn't bring Song Han, who went out every day to party with his old friends, so he brought a pair of precious children from his third child, as well as Lu Yixuan, a noble relative in the capital. Every day, I took the three of them to go to East Street and West Street, and after walking West Street to South Street, I even took the Song sisters and brothers and Lu Yixuan to the county government hall on North Street to listen to the county order to hear the trial.

As early as the second day when Song Han arrived in Mocheng, the county magistrate of Mocheng had already visited the Song Mansion on East Street, so he knew the old lady of the Song family. At this time, seeing that the old lady of the Song family brought the Song sisters and brothers to listen to his trial, he hurriedly asked people to arrange stools and tea among the many wealthy gentlemen who were located in the hall to listen to the case and pass the time.

The old lady Song, who had a lot of face in front of the gentry, was so happy that she waved her hand again and again.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still many people like Mrs. Song in the county government who came to hear the trial, Song Rumu and Song Nianzhi, who had been instructed by Song Han many times in Fuyang, were afraid that they would run away, so as not to be repaired by Song Han after returning home.

After the Song sisters and brothers returned home, they were also preached by Song Han in front of everyone in the Song Mansion for a long time, and they may feel that it was not enough to talk about it, so Song Han also grounded the two of them until the day they returned to Hangzhou.

Grounded, Song Rumu and Song Nianzhi, who feel that this word is very fresh, are even happier than a few days ago, why can't they stop being footed early? Because they don't have to socialize with those strangers every day, the Song sisters and brothers and Lu Yixuan hide in the house every day, and burn sweet potatoes and peanuts with their cousins Song Hanyu and Song Ruixi, and cousin Song Yunting, which can be described as a real joy.

Old lady Song probably thought that the two children were because he was grounded by Song Han, so he was not as strict with his grandchildren and granddaughters as in the past, and he opened his eyes and closed his eyes by a few people messing around in the Han courtyard.

Probably because it is close to the end of the year, there is no imaginary female celebrity competition, let alone those activities such as eating and drinking, gathering and chanting, and the days are in such repeated barbecues, ushering in the Chinese New Year's Eve.

felt that if she continued to roast, she herself would become Song Rumu who baked sweet potatoes, and it was not until this day that she really felt the enormity of the Song Mansion. From about half past five in the evening, hundreds of men in the entire Song Mansion, except for the male dolls who were still in swaddling clothes, even Song Nianzhi and those male dolls who had just been able to walk, were all dressed in uniform and went to the ancestral tomb to "ask for the New Year".

Before dinner is finished, there is an endless stream of New Year's greeting guests. As many guests came to pay New Year's greetings, the three Song Han brothers were also led by Mrs. Song, and took Song Nianzhi and several of their cousins to other Song mansions to pay New Year's greetings.

And Song Rumu, a few cousins and Lu Yixuan, stayed in the room and played an ancient card game, which is similar to a modern game of catching turtles. The rule is that in the hands of several people participating in the game, find the same card as your own hand, and if you are the last person to have the cards left in your hand, then you are the little turtle.

When the second cousin Song Ruixi inadvertently made a turtle several times in a row, Song Rumu found that the second aunt's already gloomy face was also covered with dark clouds.

didn't want the second cousin to be scolded by the second aunt because of this boring game, so Song Rumu smiled and said that she had played enough. And the lobby sister Song Hanyu seems to have discovered this a long time ago, and when Song Rumu said that she wouldn't play, she hurriedly responded and let everyone disperse the game to listen to Mrs. Song's story.

Xu is because Mrs. Song tells the same story every year, except for Lu Yixuan and Song Rumu, everyone present listened listlessly, especially Song Ruixi snuggled up to Song Rumu and fell asleep after yawning.

Chinese New Year's Eve, young and old, all need to keep vigil all night; On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the men continue to pay New Year's greetings, and the ladies of the family can sleep to their heart's content; On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it has always been the day for the whole clan to enter the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. At the same time, this day is also the day when the Song sisters and brothers officially worship the ancestral hall and officially enter the Song family tree.

After hundreds of people in the whole clan, young and old, knelt down in the courtyard to worship the genealogy, the old patriarch arched his neck and shouted, "The Song family of the fourth street in the southeast and northwest of Mocheng, Song Nianzhi, the third son of Song Siwen, the third son of Song Siwen, the daughter of Song Han, and Song Rumu, the daughter of Song Han, entered the ancestral hall ......."

So Song Rumu and Song Nianzhi, wearing the gorgeous clothes prepared by Mama Song for the two of them in advance, completed the ultimate goal of returning to Mocheng under the attention of everyone and bowing again and again: to enter the genealogy.

But on such a day when Song Han was gratified and Song Rumu also let go of the entanglement in his heart for many years, suddenly news came that it was the second aunt's cousin Qi Lanyue who hanged herself.
