Chapter 11. Mid-Autumn Festival
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the night of the full moon on August 15, Yongjing City is prosperous and prosperous, and it is an important festival of the year, and every family is preparing to enjoy the moon and lanterns, or gather with their families, or enjoy with friends.
Lin Yulin walked through a courtyard of colorful lanterns and came to the garden, behind him, including He Qiu, a group of maids and servants followed closely, and the girls whispered a few words with atmosphere from time to time, "This lamp is exquisite", "That pot of flowers is beautiful" and other praises are endless, and Lin Yulin doesn't know whether to be annoyed or worried.
"Are you ready for the moon viewing party in the evening?"
It was rare for Lin Yulin to care about this matter, so He Qiu hurriedly replied with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, this is the first grand event held by Miss after coming to Beijing, and it must be arranged properly." ”
"The important thing is not to delay too late," Lin Yulin said, "After the cutscene is over, it will be dispersed quickly, everyone has a family, what's the matter with spending the festival in our house?" ”
"People like us all put up their tents on Suzaku Road, waiting to see the Son of Heaven at night. This time, none of the people invited by the young lady were promoted to the court officials or above, and they didn't have to go to the royal street, so it was not the same where to go for the festival. ”
One of the servants said with a smile.
Lin Yulin paused and looked at the servant woman with a smile: "It's not, the people I invited are all lower than our family, who will come if they are higher than our family, right?" ”
The servant's smile froze on her face, and she couldn't help but explain, "Miss, I didn't mean that......"
"It doesn't matter," Lin Yulin waved his hand, "It's better to pass tonight, and the low door is not willing to come to the door." ”
The atmosphere was a little stiff, so why hurriedly dismissed the maids and servants, and then whispered: "Miss, if the old lady hears this, I will be grounded again." ”
"It's forbidden, I want to open it too," Lin Yulin suddenly squatted and fiddled with the lanterns on the ground. "It's the same inside and outside the house, and no one is free."
He Qiu saw that she had committed a lonely temper again, so he had to put this aside for the time being, and said with a smile: "Miss Su's new store will open in a few days." Has the girl figured out what to give? ”
When Lin Yulin heard this, there was a smile on his face: "Originally, I wanted to send a team of dragon and lion dances to be lively, but then I felt that there was nothing new, and when I saw Sister Su today, I would ask her what she wanted." ”
Hear it here. He Qiu was clever and didn't point it out: Miss Su didn't say that she would come, most likely she didn't come.
Passing through the garden and turning the lotus pond, to Lin Ruofeng's courtyard, except for He Qiu, everyone stopped one after another, and dispersed, Lin Ruofeng was afraid of making trouble, except for the people who served closely, he never allowed the subordinates next to him to enter his yard.
Lin Yulin walked into the courtyard and saw that the small courtyard, which had always been spacious and sparse, was also lit up, adding a lot of festive atmosphere. Lin Ruofeng's little servant was climbing the ladder, preparing to hang a glass lantern under the eaves, and Lin Ruofeng was helping him stabilize the ladder below, telling him that the lamp was hanging on the right side.
"Little uncle, you're lazy again," Lin Yulin said with a smile, "The light work is so good, and let Yi Ze hang the lanterns." ”
Yi Ze stood on the ladder and said down: "Miss, what she said is wrong, I don't even do this kind of work, so I can't eat idle food?" ”
Lin Ruofeng smiled: "Be careful not to step on the air." Hang it up and come down. ”
Seeing that Deyi was like an ape, he jumped down the ladder flexibly like an ape, and after landing with a bang, he jumped back a few steps and looked up, and sighed after a while: "It's so beautiful." ”
Lin Ruofeng put the ladder sideways under the porch on the side, and then went to see Lin Yulin. Seeing that she was staring at the lantern in a daze, she quipped: "It's more beautiful when it's lit up at night...... It is said that my father built a lamp mountain for you to enjoy the moon, and if you want to see what lights are not enough, keep your eyes. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yulin rarely did not smile, but pursed his lips. A state of interest.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"
"It's boring."
Lin Yulin walked around the courtyard, and suddenly whispered: "Why doesn't grandpa give up, knowing that I don't like these, why do you have to force me to ......" She glanced at Lin Ruofeng, frowned and said, "I know, what qualifications do I have to say 'I don't like', I don't work hard, I don't divide the grains, I don't learn to preside over the feed in the house, and I will marry someone to be the housewife, what can I do." ”
"A woman who is happy to take revenge and act chivalrous?" Lin Ruofeng was half joking, half serious.
Lin Yulin finally smiled: "The heroine also has to eat." ”
The two entered the house while talking, He Qiu and Yi stopped one after another, the two glanced at each other, He Qiu couldn't help but speak first: "I can't enter this house, why can't you go in either?" ”
Yi Ze snorted: "Who said I can't enter?" Merely...... I can't go in because you're there. ”
He Qiu was suspicious in her heart, she didn't dare to get close to Lin Ruofeng, even though she was Lin Yulin's personal servant, she never had more than three sentences of dialogue with Lin Ruofeng.
It's not that Lin Ruofeng is arrogant or cold, but somehow, after every two or three sentences, he can't say anything more.
It's weird. Why don't you think about it.
Lin Ruofeng sat behind the piano case, looked at Lin Yulin's sighing appearance, and said funny: "Okay, don't be depressed, today/Father is not in the house, and when the moon viewing party of you, Laoshizi, is over, I will take you to the street to enjoy the lanterns." ”
"Really?" Lin Yulin was skeptical, "How long can I go out?" ”
"Whatever you want. There is no curfew tonight, you have the spirit, you can play all night. ”
"So, where can I go?" Lin Yulin asked again and again.
"Whatever you want. As long as it's a place where you can come back before dawn. ”
Lin Ruofeng has always been generous to this niece's request and never entangled in the details.
Lin Yulin squinted his eyes, like a cat that smelled fishy, and said in a deep voice: "That's it...... Then I'm going to think about it. ”
Lin Ruofeng had already relieved himself and said "whatever you want", Lin Yulin didn't ask for it at this time, let alone when.
"Do you have to think about the freedom that comes easily, do you want to go swimming in the river, go to painting boats, go to guessing riddles, or do you want to eat, drink, and watch fireworks?"
Regarding her "bad intentions", Lin Ruofeng didn't even move her eyebrows, but actively encouraged her to think about it and not waste the rare opportunity.
He was not in a hurry to express his position, Lin Yulin felt that this matter was delicate, and couldn't help asking: "Can you really go anywhere?" ”
Lin Ruofeng laughed, shook his head and said, "Don't worry." ”
"Grandpa knows what to do?" Lin Yulin asked uneasily.
"Father won't know," Lin Ruofeng said lightly, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor and the people are happy, and ministers like my father, who have been highly valued recently, will definitely accompany those imperial relatives and relatives on the city tower until the last moment, where can I care where we go and how long we go." ”
"Really? Isn't the emperor in bad health? It won't be long before you have fun with the people. Lin Yulin was suspicious.
Lin Ruofeng didn't care: "The emperor can't hold on to the crown prince...... You don't have to worry, your grandfather loves you so much, even if he knows, he won't say anything. ”
Yes, what are you afraid of, and I'm not in prison.
It's hard to go out for a night, where are you going to play?
