Red House Shoufu

Chapter 19 The Lantern Festival
Daiyu has been raised by Lin Shu as a daughter for the past two years, although because of filial piety, she doesn't eat much meat.However, Lin Shu specially asked Li Jingtong for a formula for nourishing food.

Not only has the toxin in the body been cleared, but now it no longer looks weak.At least in Wang Yuan's eyes, the younger sister of the Lin family is no longer the same as when she first met, like a person of colored glaze, afraid of being broken.

Daiyu moved to Wang Yuan's side, and rubbed against her: "Brother is going to take me out to see lanterns tonight, sister Wang, why don't you go with me?"

There was a trace of hope in Wang Yuan's eyes, but she blushed when she remembered what her mother said to her last night.

She whispered back: "Tonight, I will have dinner with my parents first. As for whether I can come out or not, it depends on what my elder brother wants."

Daiyu said happily: "It's easy, I asked my brother to invite Brother Wang, he is such a lively person, he will definitely accept..."

"What should I do?"

Lin Shu's voice came from not far away, and Wang Yuan's body froze, and the blush on her face became more obvious.

Daiyu didn't notice Wang Yuan's change, so she turned her head and explained to Lin Shu: "I was just inviting Sister Wang to the Yangcheng Lake Lantern Festival tonight, but Sister Wang said it depends on what Big Brother Wang means..."

It turns out that every Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be a grand lantern festival in Suzhou, and this year's venue is Yangcheng Lake.

Lin Shu glanced at Wang Yuan, who was blushing. Although she was surprised by her state today, she still asked Wang Huan.

"Brother Wei Zhong has an appointment tonight?"

Wang Huan said with some embarrassment: "Brother Jiang and the others made an appointment to go to Yihong..."

Well, Lin Shu already understood!But seeing the disappointed look in Wang Yuan's beautiful eyes, Lin Shu grabbed Wang Huan, walked to the side and whispered, "You can't spend more time with your relatives? Women have a lot of restrictions. If you don't take her out, How many times can you go out in a year? Don’t you think she stood on the embroidered building and looked at the lanterns in the distance on Mid-Autumn Festival night?”

Wang Yuan was described as pitiful by Lin Shu, and Wang Huan looked from a distance at his sister who was sitting obediently in the corridor.

"Okay, after I send someone to tell Brother Jiang, let's go to Yangcheng Lake tonight!"

Lin Shu gestured to Daiyu who was looking at her to get it done, causing Daiyu to hug Wang Yuan happily and laugh.Wang Yuan also had a smile on her face, and she was whispering to Daiyu.

……

After the brothers and sisters of the Wang family returned home, Lin Shu and Daiyu walked into the ancestral hall, and they respectfully offered incense to the ancestors of the Lin family.

After two years of suffering from the loss of her father, Daiyu can be regarded as out of grief.But today's Mid-Autumn Festival, every festive season, when she misses her relatives a lot, when she was with Wang Yuan in the afternoon, she didn't feel sad, but when she saw her parents' tablets, she still shed tears.

Lin Shu was a man after all, he knelt down in the ancestral hall and kowtowed incense to his ancestors as before, before turning around to comfort Daiyu.

"Father and aunt are alive in the sky. Seeing that my sister is healthy and graceful now, she will definitely be very pleased."

Daiyu wiped the tears off her face with a handkerchief, and forced a smile on Lin Shu's face: "Don't worry, brother, I know, as long as we live well, father and mother can also feel at ease."

……

On the branches of the moon, the sky is clear today, and the city of Suzhou is full of colorful lights.

Among the bustling crowd, Daiyu ate happily with a bunch of candied haws in her hand.

Behind her, Mother Wang and the two mothers who were born in the palace shook their heads helplessly, guarding Daiyu's side.

The two nuns, one surnamed Zhang and the other surnamed Lu, were old people who lived next to the former empress.

The emperor sent them here, one is to give them a good place to retire, and the other is to monitor the Lin family.Of course, it is more about protecting Lin Ruhai's orphan, Lin Daiyu.

They were used to seeing the intrigues and schemes in the palace, and putting aside some problems of upbringing, the two nuns could be said to be dedicated to Daiyu.

Fuquan led a dozen guards scattered around, watching Lin Shu and Daiyu at any time.

"Brother, look, the Yangcheng Lake Lantern Festival is about to start. Do you think they will have a poetry appreciation meeting this year?"

Daiyu saw a high-rise colorful shed set up beside Yangcheng Lake, and remembered the poetry appreciation meeting Wang Huan said last year, so she leaned over and asked Lin Shu: "Last year, those poems were not as good as my brother's. They see what good poetry is!"

After the poetry appreciation meeting in previous years, Suzhou Commercial Bank will print the good poems received on Mid-Autumn Festival into a book.After Daiyu saw these poems, she was very dissatisfied because there were no poems by Lin Shu on them.

Today, she must let her brother overwhelm the crowd, and make Lin Jieyuan's name resound throughout Gusu City again.

Lin Shu pressed Daiyu's forehead, this child is getting more and more skinny now.

"I don't know how to write poems or lyrics. I just want to accompany you to watch the lanterns today. I won't participate in other things."

"Brother Jinyu doesn't participate in the poetry meeting, the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival will be a bit dim!"

At this time, Wang Huan's big face came closer, and Wang Yuan, who was next to her, blessed her body, and bowed to Lin Shu with curved eyebrows.

Daiyu quickly took Wang Yuan's arm, and whispered something to her while biting her ear.

Lin Shu smiled and pointed to the figure on the high platform, and said to Wang Huan: "None of those people wants to see me, so I won't go to them to find bad luck."

In the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, there are not many who can see Lin Shu with a smile on his face.

Since Geng Xiangnan went to Qiongzhou Prefecture, after half a year, Qiongzhou sea salt began to impact the price of lake salt and well salt in the south of the Yangtze River.

In just two years, the price of salt has been pulled to a new low, and ordinary people are happy, but the salt merchants can't wait to cut the person who developed the sun-dried salt method into slices of meat to serve with wine.

Lin Shu's secret was still leaked out. If it wasn't for the fact that the Lin family had left the county head, Lin Shu would have been in the eyes of the emperor. How could those salt merchants let him go so easily.

The Embroidered Guard defended Lin Shu twice, and even trained some guards for the Lin family.Because of this, Lin Shu pressed Daiyu to live in the mansion for half a year, fearing that he would be tricked by this matter.

Among the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, salt merchants and Suzhou embroidery are the main ones.This year's Lantern Festival, the sponsors are still these people.Of course Lin Shu would not look for bad luck, and led Daiyu and the Wang family brothers and sisters to the scheduled cruise ship.

The Yangcheng Lake Lantern Festival is set up around the shore of the lake, and there are various lantern boats in the lake. Lin Shu specially ordered an exquisite cruise ship to visit the beautiful scenery.

The moonlight is picturesque, and the sound of the piano is leisurely.

The reflection of the lanterns in Yangcheng Lake and the reality are intertwined like a fairyland, and the four people are mesmerized by the beauty.

At this time, a cruise ship slowly approached Lin Shu's side, and a crossbow protruded from the window on the second floor of the cruise ship, and the cold arrow pointed in Lin Shu's direction.

One hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps...

The two ships were about to collide, and Lin Shu, who was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, suddenly had the feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake.

Sweeping his eyes around, he saw the cruise ship crashing towards them, the arrow leaking from the second floor window, and a grinning face.

　The update is late.

　　Due to the epidemic, our school is closed.My sister threw the beast to me, and the computer was taken over, so I could only use my mobile phone to type.

　　In addition, I wrote this book in detail, so the speed slowed down, so please bear with me.
