Since there is space, it is naturally the best to buy it for 0 yuan

There was a banquet in the palace on New Year's Eve, and Shen Ruyi was supposed to attend, but she refused. Why eat with a bunch of strangers? It's boring.

Along with the news of rejection, in addition to the freshly harvested strawberries, there were also some wine and kiwi wine that she had brewed previously for the official to taste.

This year, the palace was filled with large red lanterns, leaving no blind spots. Even during the day, it looked spectacular, let alone at night.

Shen Ruyi ordered it and tried it last night. The whole mansion was so beautiful. It gave her a dreamy feeling of traveling through time and space, and it was full of ancient charm.

Everyone gets up early in the morning, has breakfast, and starts writing couplets. The whole family is involved. You can write whatever you want, as long as you don't write anti-corruption poetry that gives people an excuse to use it.

Anyway, whoever writes it can post it on his own house. Of course, the gate of the mansion and other large couplets were all written by Mr. Wang.

The courtyard where the servants lived was occupied by Steward Li, because his handwriting was the best.

For the remaining parts, Changle and Chen Nan took pens and wrote under the guidance of Mr. Wang.

If Shen Ruyi hadn't stopped them, they would have wanted to put up the couplets they wrote right now. Shen Ruyi persuaded them and said, "Wait until after lunch. Write more now. Otherwise, there are too many houses and there won't be enough to put up."

Sure enough, this worked and he was immediately coaxed into continuing writing couplets.

Shen Ruyi's handwriting has finally improved to a level that is presentable, but it still cannot compare with others, only compared with her previous handwriting.

The only thing she could currently compare with was Chen Nan's handwriting, but she estimated that in another half a year, she would fall back to last place.

So she wrote a couplet and posted it on the door of her main house, and filled in other places with other people's words.

Everyone discussed it together. During the New Year, everyone eats together. There are only a few people in the family. It would be troublesome to eat separately, and it would also feel a little lacking in reunion and joy. It would be more lively when there are more people.

It has been completely settled. Mr. Wang will be taken care of by his disciple Changle in his old age.

After more than half a year of getting along and adjusting to each other, everyone gets along very harmoniously and comfortably, and both sides know each other well enough, so there is no doubt about this decision.

When he first came here, Mr. Wang still had some concerns, but now he has no worries at all. Even if his children were still alive, he might not be as comfortable as he is now.

You don't have to worry about anything, just teach the two children knowledge. What's more, these two children have very good brains, are smart, studious and obedient, so teaching them is very easy and enjoyable, and there is a deep sense of accomplishment and happiness.

When I have some free time, I either take a walk in the farm or read in the library, where there are more and more books. Drinking tea and reading is so blissful.

When I am bored, I can go fishing by the lake. These fishing habits were suggested by Shen Ruyi. At first, I thought it was nothing. What is so good about fishing? But after fishing a few times, I became addicted and understood the fun.

When the weather is good, sitting on a lounge chair under the shade of a tree, fishing, eating fruit snacks and drinking tea, these days are like heaven.

At noon, we had dumplings, which we all worked together to make. There were all kinds of fillings. Unexpectedly, the dumplings were so popular. Naturally, we had lunch with Mr. Wang.

Changle, Chen Nan, as well as the Monkey King Thanos and others, couldn't wait to put up the couplets before clearing away the dishes.

Shen Ruyi knew that they really couldn't wait even a quarter of an hour, so she agreed. Led by Yiren, they began to run around the house.

It was not until Linglan and the others set off firecrackers that the timid Thanos was scared away and ran back. He followed Shen Ruyi around and dared not go anywhere.

The Monkey King is no longer afraid of firecrackers. Sometimes he would even follow Changle and light firecrackers for fun. He is really daring.

After they finished their busy work, the playful Monkey King was so angry that he lost all his temper and came back listless.

Shen Ruyi asked with amusement: "What's wrong with the Great Sage?"

The Great Sage gestured lazily, and Changle translated: "It said, our house is too big, and putting up so many couplets is almost tiring the monkey to death. Why are there couplets on every door? There's no one living inside."

"Customs, customs, do you understand? They are for a good omen. I hope that in the coming year, my family will be safe and sound, healthy, and prosperous. I hope that in the coming year, there will be good weather, peace and prosperity in the country! Don't be depressed, let's play cards today, maybe with money."

Shen Ruyi had poker cards specially made, and she had several decks made to avoid boredom.

Suddenly the Monkey King became excited again, but he couldn't play because he was tied up with Changle to play together.

Shen Ruyi distributed some copper coins to everyone, taught them how to play and the rules, and let Changle, Chen Nan, Mama and Xihe come on stage to play Landlord.

Shen Ruyi, Yiren and Manju didn't play. If they joined in, it would be a pure dimensionality reduction attack, which was boring. However, there was still the old man, so the four of them formed another game and started playing.

After playing it twice, everyone became completely proficient at it, and the sound was so loud that it could lift the roof off the house.

Not long after, discordant voices were heard coming from Changle's table. The reason was that Xihe won every time, which made the other people upset and they shouted that they didn't want to play with Xihe anymore.

Shen Ruyi changed places with Xihe in a funny way, and she ran over to play with them. Shen Ruyi's brain was now very good, especially her memory, which was amazing.

In order to avoid a dimensionality reduction attack, she just played her cards blindly, really without thinking, and she managed to play the game just fine. Everyone finally had some wins and losses, and they were evenly matched.

But after playing four or five rounds, Shen Ruyi was really bored and couldn't handle it anymore, so she called the Monkey King over and taught him how to play cards.

After two rounds of teaching, the Great Sage could barely play cards by himself. Shen Ruyi then retired with a sense of accomplishment.

This made Yiren and Mr. Wang laugh out loud, "It's not easy to play with the children."

"No."

Shen Ruzhi thought he had nothing to do, so he went out and picked some strawberries from the greenhouse for everyone. He washed them and put them aside so that everyone could eat them while having fun.

We had fun like this for the whole afternoon.

It was almost evening when everyone stopped and started preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner.

The old man and Yiren, along with the children, began to light up the big red lanterns in the main courtyard and set off some firecrackers to make the New Year more festive.

Shen Ruyi directed Nanny Lu and the others and was responsible for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Today's main dishes are steamed fish, spicy shrimp, spicy chicken, roast duck, cumin lamb, beef stewed with potatoes, cold rabbit, braised pork elbow, lion head, and Dongpo pork.

Then there are four vegetarian dishes: stir-fried yam with mixed vegetables, sweet and sour lotus root slices, candied sweet potato, and stir-fried shrimp with mushrooms.

The four cold dishes currently arranged are braised beef, cold pig ears, cold spinach and vegetarian shreds.

There was no soup arranged today, just canned juice, kiwi wine and wine made by Shen Ruyi.
