Chapter 78 Dragon Boat Festival

Early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, the mansion got busy. The kitchen was busy preparing corned millet (wrapping zongzi), and other people in the yard were hanging mugwort (hanging mugwort), and the medicinal smell of mugwort was everywhere. .

Mrs. Lin prepared five-color silk, and brought it to Lin Yu, Lin Yunjin, Lin Baozhu, and Lin Xiangxiang, and warned:
"The colorful silk is tied today, it can drive away diseases, avoid evil and stop evil, but you can't take it off, you know?"

Lin Baozhu looked at the multicolored silk thread on her wrist, her eyebrows and eyes curved, "Got it, grandma."

Lin Yunjin frowned and looked at it, and hid it with her sleeve, "Grandma, I understand."

"Yunjin, Baozhu, you two are staying with grandma, there are still some things to do in the house, Xiangxiang and I will leave first."

Lin Yu is not as free as the two of them. She is very busy every day, taking care of the household affairs, practicing martial arts and reading books. If Lin Xiangxiang didn't help, she would have to inspect the shops.

"Sister, wait!"

Lin Yunjin hurriedly followed, Lin Yu stopped and looked at him, Lin Yunjin couldn't help scratching his head when he saw him like this,
"Eldest sister, the day after tomorrow is a school competition, can you?"

"Can you watch me compete in the school grounds?"

Lin Yu couldn't help chuckling when he heard the words, "You go to the martial arts competition, of course my elder sister will accompany you."

Lin Yunjin smiled, "Don't worry, elder sister, I will definitely perform well and get the post of captain."

The captain is afraid that it is impossible.

But Lin Yu didn't say anything, he just patted Lin Yunjin on the shoulder, "My Lin Yu's younger brother will never lose."

Lin Yunjin's smile became brighter, the elder sister was praising him just now!He secretly made up his mind not to disappoint his elder sister.

At this time, Lin Baozhu also came over, a little cautiously, "Eldest sister, I...Miss Zhao sent me a post asking me to watch the dragon boat race, I...can I go?"

Lin Yu looked at Lin Baozhu, and was stunned for a moment, "You can go if you want, I probably haven't restrained your feet during this time."

Lin Baozhu nodded hastily, "Let me tell elder sister, I'm afraid you'll be angry again."

Lin Yu: "."

Has she ever been angry because Lin Baozhu went out?
Wasn't it because she was not clear-headed and went to see Gu Changyuan secretly many times?
never mind!

Her temperament was not developed overnight, and now that she has severed ties with Gu Changyuan, she is already sober enough, what more could she wish for?

Lin Xiangxiang looked at Lin Yu, "Elder Sister, I brought the account books of Shiweitian Restaurant and five other shops."

"The sound of Shiweitian Restaurant has been very good recently. The profit on the account is 200 taels, and three of the other five shops are more than 800 taels, less than 900 taels."

"Another shop just earned 1000 taels of silver, and another shop lost 610 taels of silver. I think...do you want to rent it out?"

Lin Yu listened to Lin Xiangxiang's words while walking, and then frowned, "What kind of business is the loss-making store?"

Lin Xiangxiang said: "Food."

"food?"

Lin Yu stopped in her footsteps. She was keenly aware that something was wrong. People depend on food, and food is a profitable business. How could there be so much loss?
"Aside from our store in the capital, are there any other stores selling grain that are losing money?"

Lin Xiangxiang was stunned, "I haven't checked this yet, does Elder Sister think there is something wrong?"

Lin Yu asked back: "From the emperor to the subjects in the capital, which one does not eat food?"

"When there is more food, the price will naturally decrease, but the price of the same food will also decrease. If there is less food and the price is higher, naturally more people will buy food."

"No matter what the situation is, food should not be a loss-making business, it's just a small profit."

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Lin Xiangxiang immediately understood, "So what does Eldest Sister mean to say that someone is obstructing this?"

"Go and investigate first, the incident is quieter, if there is really someone else behind it, it is easy to startle the snake."

Lin Yu felt that there must be something wrong with this matter, and he had to tell Fu Yu, after all, the two of them are now in an alliance.

Lin Baozhu arrived at the agreed Jingyun Tea House in a carriage. There were all kinds of dragon boats on the water, and the continuous sound of drums made it very lively and interesting.

Next to Zhao Rongxue stood two girls, one was Jiang Yueshan, the younger sister of Jiang Huai, a doctor of the Five Classics, and the other was Qiu Ying, the second girl of the Minister's House.

Seeing Lin Baozhu, Zhao Rongxue quickly waved to her, "Baozhu, come up quickly, we arrived early in the morning, just waiting for you."

After finishing speaking, Lin Baozhu enthusiastically surrounded her and entered the private room, pointing to the wide open window.

"I specially chose the location on the fifth floor, which has a wide view and is more convenient for watching the dragon boat race."

"However, we came a little early, and it takes half an hour to compare, otherwise we will go to the riverside for a stroll?"

"I heard that there are quite a few small stalls on the bridge, all of which are selling gadgets. Just take a look."

Lin Baozhu was moved by the words, she stayed in the Yuyingtang for a month, and stayed in the mansion for half a month, she really wanted to take a look around.

The three reached a consensus, asked the shopkeeper to wait for a while to serve the dishes, and then slipped downstairs, the willows on the river bank, the wisteria and pomegranate flowers in full bloom, red and purple.

The vendors on the bridge sell colorful rope sachets, carved small gourds, fragrant rice dumplings, sugar figurines and other snacks, as well as painted masks, which dazzle the eyes.

Zhao Rongxue and the others looked outside and said they were going to buy an oil umbrella. Lin Baozhu also bought one. Seeing the mask sold next to it, she walked over curiously, picked up a little rabbit and put it on her face.

"Miss Zhao, Qiu"

She turned her head, but found that there was no one behind her. She subconsciously put down her mask to find someone, but her arm was pulled.

"The Jewel."

When Lin Baozhu turned her head, she saw the tall and straight man in a snow-blue robe with a silver tapestry around his waist and a silver wolf mask. He hesitated for a moment.

"You are?"

Gu Changyuan pursed his lower lip, then slowly took off his mask, "Baozhu, it's me."

"Why are you here? How do you know I'm here?"

Lin Baozhu saw Gu Changyuan's face clearly, his expression turned cold for a moment, and He Xiang who was standing beside him also stepped forward.

"Master Gu, stay away from my girl!"

Gu Changyuan saw Lin Baozhu's expression of disgust and avoidance, and did not dare to step forward for a while.

"I really haven't seen you for a long time, so...so I asked Ms. Zhao to invite you to watch the dragon boat race. I just want to see you again."

I was also afraid that Lin Baozhu would not believe me, "I really just want to see you, as long as I see you, I am satisfied. I know that I have committed a lot of crimes in this life, and you should not forgive me."

"Sorry, Baozhu, I shouldn't have lied to you."

Listening to Gu Changyuan's sincere words, Lin Baozhu turned her head away, and the corners of her eyes were a little red.

"You've seen me now, you can go now!"

She can't be soft-hearted, Gu Changyuan has done so many wrong things, why should she forgive him so easily!
Gu Changyuan nodded, "Okay, I'll go."

Before leaving, he still gave Lin Baozhu a reluctant look, and his voice was very soft.

"May you be safe and happy, and have a worry-free year."

Lin Baozhu subconsciously covered her mouth, tears couldn't stop falling down, she didn't know why she was crying, it was just uncomfortable.

"Quick, he's there, don't let him get away!"

A hurried voice sounded, and following Lin Baozhu, several people were seen running towards the river.

A few people in armor behind him were chasing, they should be soldiers and horses.
