Lin Jiabiyu

Chapter 56 The Lantern Festival Chapter

"Where's Guo Dalang? Let's forget about it? Uncle didn't say a word?"

Mammy Cao was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Miss confused? This is a matter of the inner house. If the Marquis wants to care about it, it is a big deal! Guo Dalang broke a leg when he was drunk, and the third girl committed a crime and went to the manor to recuperate. That's what happened."

Lin Wan laughed sarcastically: "It's safe to exchange one leg for the other, Master Guo Er is really willing to do it!"

"Girl, we women, we shouldn't be too smart, sometimes we have to learn to pretend to be confused." Mammy Cao caressed Lin Wan's hair affectionately, before expressing emotion for a long time.

Lin Wan also sighed helplessly. "Mammy is right, it's rare to be confused!"

The Marquis of Chong'an's mansion has been covered with overcast clouds for several days in a row, and everyone in the mansion is just working hard, and even this year has been a bit deserted.

Mrs. Feng began to complain of illness from the night of the third day, saying that she had suffered from an old illness. Aunt Zheng was banned from going out in the courtyard. Lin Zhiyuan, the Marquis of Chong'an, had a gloomy face for several days, and did not return to the inner courtyard. In the study.

Mrs. Yang Er was in a very happy mood, and she clapped Lin Min's hands all day long: "Didn't she claim to be virtuous? She thought she could cover up something like this, heh!"

Lin Min's face was rarely tense, and he ignored Mrs. Yang.

The gloom in the mansion spread all the way to Yimei Courtyard. Lin Wan counted the chess pieces boredly in the room, and after a long while, she threw away the chess pieces irritably and went to talk to Mrs. Liu.

"What is mother doing?"

"I'm just looking at the posts from various families. For Chinese New Year, there are people everywhere who invite people to watch a show and drink." Liu smiled and handed a stack of posts to Lin Wan. "Bored? Go out for a walk too, the street is busy."

Lin Wan shook her head.Leaning on Mrs. Liu, he smiled and said, "No, I'll work for my mother." After finishing speaking, he muttered slowly, "Is there a post from the Wang family?"

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, feeling very relieved in her heart, since her daughter asked this, it means that she is interested in the Wang family. "Yes, you can go with your mother later."

"By the way, there are posts from the Lu family in it." Mrs. Liu seemed to have remembered something.Pointing to a few invitation cards in Lin Wan's hand, he said with a smile, "Didn't their family send a gift last time, and I asked someone to return the gift. The next day, the Lu family sent someone to send the invitation card, which is strange. Except for the one at the end of the year, their family has never heard of any banquet. Why did they invite us?"

Lin Wan's eyes froze, and she squeezed the invitation card slightly with her fingers, and the irritability in her heart reappeared a little bit.

"I didn't have much contact with them at all. I wanted to see how many people were in their family. We don't have to join in the excitement, so that others don't worry about it! As soon as my mother comes back." Lin Wan's tone was a little stiff.The displeasure on his face was clearly written.

Mrs. Liu looked at Lin Wan in bewilderment, frowned and said hesitantly, "Do you still remember Lu Jia Erlang?"

"Who still remembers him!" Lin Wan let out a sulking breath in annoyance.

Liu's eyes darkened slightly.My heart was a little suspenseful, as soon as Lu Erlang was mentioned, there was something wrong with her daughter.

"Forget it, we don't ask for anything from their family. Since you don't like it, just find a reason to push it away." Liu looked at Lin Wan and sighed. "Your temperament, hey, looks good on the surface. In fact, you are the most unwilling to suffer. Then Lu Jia Erlang doesn't know what's wrong with you..."

"Why did mother mention him again?" Lin Wan muttered depressingly, and then pulled Liu Shi to talk about other things.The worry in Liu's eyes grew deeper and deeper.

In the first month, the most lively is the Lantern Festival.A few days after the Spring Festival, the lanterns of various shops on the street have changed into new patterns, and the vendors selling various snacks and gadgets in the streets and alleys have also changed one after another, and there are novel gadgets one after another. Come out, Coke crazy boys.

The Marquis of Chong'an has also regained some heat, and the servants in the mansion are busy preparing for the new year.

It's just that for the boys and girls of various families, the best place to go is on the street, where all the bright lights and bustling scene are everywhere.There are not so many rules under the big festival, and everyone can have fun.Some bold teenagers can still lean on the railings of restaurants on the street or lean on the side of the road while stretching their necks and staring at the passing girls while talking and joking, which is not worth watching.

On such a lively day, Yang Ling is naturally indispensable. Before the time came, Yang Ling sent his mother-in-law to make an appointment with Lin Wan early.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, night falls, but the streets and alleys in the capital are crowded with people, the lights are brilliant, and firecrackers are blooming in the sky from time to time, which is dazzling and dazzling, which makes people happy to watch.

Yang Ling excitedly dragged Lin Wan to run around in the crowd, looking here and there, chatting non-stop. "Ah Wan, have you seen that rabbit lamp? It's so similar—look, look, there are jugglers over there, let's go—" He was about to squeeze into the crowd again.

Lin Wan was so crowded that she was dizzy, so she quickly grabbed Yang Ling and said, "There are too many people here, so I can't see anything. Let's find a place with few people."

Yang Ling curled her lips, and looked at the high platform among the crowd with longing. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she pulled Lin Wan and shouted: "Let's go boating in the lake behind Lanyue Tower. A lot of boats were parked, it was very lively, and our house also had one, so I asked someone to clean it up, let’s go to the boat to watch the excitement.”

"Alright." Lin Wan frowned helplessly, and she also liked the excitement.But it was unbearable to be so crowded with people coming and going, she was so dizzy right now that she didn't know where they were standing, and she couldn't tell the direction at all because they were all people.

"Go, ask someone to row our family's boat over, and say that we are going to go swimming in the lake!" Yang Ling quickly directed the girl and woman, and turned around to look excitedly and curiously at the surrounding people surrounded by the crowd. stall.

Yang Ling's eyes wandered all the way, but he had an excellent sense of direction. He dragged Lin Wan through the crowd for a while, and finally squeezed out. Just opposite was the big lake behind Lanyue Tower - Zuiyue Lake.

"Here, here!" Seeing the Yang family's boat approaching from a distance, Yang Ling jumped and waved his hands and shouted, "Come here, here..."

Lin Wan's eyes were also stained with a smile, and she looked back at the dark crowd, feeling relieved.Just as he was about to turn his head to grab Yang Ling, he caught a glimpse of Yao Yuzhang, who was staggering at the corner of the street, and Feng Si, pulling a woman over with a teasing smile from the corner of his eye.

Yao Yuzhang seemed to sense that someone was watching, and looked up at Lin Wan with a "swish". When he saw who it was, Yao Yuzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, a stern flash of light flashed in his eyes, he sneered at Lin Wan, and turned to talk He grabbed Feng Si's arm and motioned him to look over to the lake.

Lin Wan couldn't see Yao Yuzhang's expression clearly, but could see his movements.Seeing Feng Si pushed away the woman beside him, and staggered towards her, Lin Wan frowned slightly, her face darkened, she pulled Yang Ling's arm and urged, "Get on the boat!"

Yang Ling looked at the boat which was still a few feet away and said in a daze, "It hasn't come close yet, I can't get on it!"

"Let's go forward, you tell them to move to the nearest side." Lin Wan frowned, dragged Yang Ling away.

Lian Qiao squeezed out of the crowd panting, and just about to speak, Lin Wan shouted, "Is there anyone following from behind? Stop those two!"

Lian Qiao followed Lin Wan's gaze, and saw two drunks swaying here and there with lewd smiles and rushed towards them. After being surprised, she became angry, lifted her skirt and kicked them, saying cruelly. : "What, I have wanted to deal with you for a long time, and I want to move forward!"

Feng Si was drunk, he could only see Lin Wan in his eyes, his whole body was hot from the vague smile in his mind, and he wanted to get closer.Unexpectedly, there was a sudden blur in front of his eyes, followed by a kick, his lower body was unstable, he fell suddenly, and bumped into Yao Yuzhang who was following behind him, and the two rolled into a ball instantly.

Lianqiao looked at the two of them proudly, went up to mend their feet, and quickly retreated, the movement was done in one go, which made Yang Ling dumbfounded.

"Hmph!" Lian Qiao rolled her eyes at Feng Si who got up from the ground.Seeing Yao Yuzhang standing up steadily and looking over with gloomy eyes, Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "What are you looking at?"

During the conversation, Qiu Zi and the maids and women of the Yang family squeezed out, and they understood a little bit when they saw the situation, and they all gathered around together.The women glanced at the two of them, and with their usual expressions, they swiftly restrained Feng Si, who was dizzy and just wanted to pounce forward.

Lin Wanchao winked at Lianqiao, and dragged Yang Ling onto the boat.

Yang Ling clapped her hands at Lianqiao with admiration in her eyes and said: "I never thought you girl would have such abilities! You can kick two men down with one kick."

Lianqiao laughed triumphantly: "I learned it from Sixth Brother Yue."

"Who is Sixth Brother Yue? I want to see you too!" Yang Ling's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly dragged Lian Qiao to ask.Lianqiao sticks out her tongue, looks at Lin Wan with some fear, and keeps her mouth shut, daring not to speak.

Yang Ling asked to no avail, and instead hung Lin Wan's arm coquettishly: "Ah Wan, you must know, who is that Yue Liu?"

"A person from the Jianghu who I met by chance a few years ago is long gone." Lin Wan glanced at Lianqiao very indifferently, and replied in a flat tone.

Yang Ling was disappointed, and sighed repeatedly.Sighing a few times, his eyes were attracted by the cruise ship coming from the opposite side, and he pulled Lin Wan's sleeve and shouted, "Ah Wan! Ah Wan! Look, isn't that Lu Wei's second brother?"

Lin Wan subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the opposite side, her eyes happened to meet Lu Junzhao on the boat, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned her eyes away, and urged Yang Ling with clenched fists: "Hurry up and let the people below come up, let's Walk."

"Hey, he's saying hello to us!" Yang Ling was a little dazed, pointing at the approaching cruise ship and said in puzzlement, "We've met each other, so we have to say hello...Look, he got off the boat and headed to us." Here we come!" Yang Ling's voice suddenly increased.

Lin Wanchao glanced at the opposite side, let out a sigh of depression, knocked on Yang Ling's head and said bitterly: "What hello, he doesn't shy away from being a man! Let's go!" After finishing speaking, he shouted out of the cabin, "Mom! Hurry up and row the boat." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
