In the blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The school is on vacation, but for Lin Lan, it's just a change of place to sleep during the day.
Xia Qian has also often touched Lin Lan's bottom these days to see what Lin Lan's understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics is. As a result, after four or five times, Xia Qian stopped going to the study to disturb Lin Lan's nap.
Where is this girl a student, she can be his teacher! If it weren't for the fact that the six imperial examinations could not be avoided, Xia Qian felt that Lin Lan could directly enter Beijing to catch the examination and participate in next year's general examination.
"Lin Lan, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the school is on holiday, didn't the teacher tell you yesterday?" Xia Qian saw Lin Lan and asked with a smile.
"Students know. My father asked the students to bring some moon cakes and candied fruits, and came to visit Mr. ”
"Hehe, Lin Yushi is elevated, how can you be embarrassed by the old decay." As he spoke, he took the package that Lin Lan was holding in his hand.
Lin Lan smiled back and asked, "Didn't the master come to the school today?" ”
"Relatives and friends at home are gathering and entertaining. The teacher also plans to go back to reunite, why don't you go to sit at the teacher's house? ”
"No, no, no. It is a sin for a student not to invite his husband, so how can he go to his husband's house for dinner? ”
Xia Qian smiled: "Haha, my husband is really incompetent." I wonder if you told your father about the old advice? ”
Lin Lan smiled, shook his head and said, "This school hasn't been in for a few days, if you go to the academy, my father will definitely think that the students are in a hurry to succeed, and they will inevitably be scolded when they are studying." ”
"Oh, with your intelligence, how can you compare it with ordinary rotten wood? If you can't open your mouth, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will talk to Ling Zun, so as not to mislead people's children through old decay. ”
"Mr. is serious, it's not early this day, when I go back to the house for a reunion banquet, I have to go to the poetry club to see, so I won't bother Mr."
"Will you pass on poetry? It is also very good to see how this Guangling genius composes poetry. ”
Lin Lan said goodbye to Xia Qian, bought some food along the way with Shunyu, and hurried back home.
Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, even Lin Ruhai returned home early, changed into a plain robe, and was playing chess in the house with great interest.
Seeing Lin Lan coming back, he beckoned and smiled: "Lan'er can play chess?" ”
Before Lin Lan could speak, Wang, who was wearing a bean green folded skirt, smiled and said, "Where will he." It's just a matter of playing with some stinky chess baskets. ”
Lin Lan said with a smile: "If you are a mother and a mother say this about children, it's just a matter of not praising them, and they are so sarcastic." ”
"Haha, your mother is unforgiving, but she is satisfied with you in her heart. It's interesting to look at this endgame. A few days ago, a few little guys in the yamen were playing, I didn't care, I didn't expect to visit a few old friends today, all talking about this endgame, a study, it's really wonderful. ”
Lin Lan took a look and found that feelings were the "poison" he put out, and now the poison has reached his own Lao Tzu.
"Daddy is trying to solve this endgame?"
Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "It's just entertainment." By the way, tonight's poetry meeting, which poetry bureau are you in? ”
"Oh." Lin Lan took out the post sent by Wen Tingli's trustee, swept his eyes and said, "The first floor? ”
"This poetry will be held in the first restaurants in Yangzhou City, this first floor is just on the way, and you will ride with me later."
"Dad, you're going too?"
Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Since it is a poetry club, there must be a high and low judgment. Each poetry bureau has a good work, will be sent to the first floor, and there will be a famous Confucian writer in Yangzhou City to comment. ”
Lin Lan didn't expect that a poetry meeting would be so cumbersome.
Wang asked: "Ruhai, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, do you want to invite Daiyu to have a reunion dinner together?" ”
Lin Ruhai was just about to speak, when the housekeeper on one side came over and said, "Master, just now there was a word from the West Chamber, saying that the young lady has not yet recovered from the cold, and she is afraid that the wind is blowing, so she will not come to eat." ”
"That's it, that's it. Ignore her, let's eat ourselves. Lin Ruhai's face became a little ugly.
This reunion dinner is not so delicious.

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is not as lively and festive as Chinese New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival, it still has traditional customs.
There has never been a large-scale lantern festival in Yangzhou, but every household also has the custom of lighting lamps. It is picked up with a bamboo pole and bundled high on the eaves, commonly known as "tree Mid-Autumn Festival".
If the rooms in the Lin Mansion were in previous years, they must have been chatting in the room by themselves. Since Lin Lan made a pair of mahjong with fir wood and taught a few aunts and her own wife the basic playing style, the house has become lively.
At the beginning, several aunts also pulled Lin Lan to sit in charge, but later Lin Lan was no longer needed, and the three aunts and their own mothers just got together at the table.
Occasionally, Lin Ruhai will come over to join in the fun, and he probably enjoys such a lively energy.
"Lan'er, are you ready to go?"
"Just waiting for you, what else is there to prepare? It's just to join in the fun. Lin Lan stood up, looked at Lin Ruhai and changed into a decent set of clothes, and asked puzzledly: "Could it be that Daddy still has any entertainment?" ”
"Among the first floors, which one is not a figure with a face in Yangzhou City? You, now that you are still young, when you pass the children's examination, I will take you to meet those old scholars, and then I will be a good teacher, this Mr. Xia is okay to talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, as for other talents, it is slightly lacking. Although it is wrong for the father to say that people are behind his back, this is the case. ”
Lin Lan followed Lin Ruhai into the carriage and said with a smile: "Lan'er thinks Mr. Xia is very good. ”
The carriage is rolling and going, the road is sandwiched on both sides, the lights are colorful, the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are indeed many people who come out to admire the moon. Lin Ruhai took a bite of the prepared snack and said, "It's good?" Or is it comfortable? ”
Lin Lan smiled awkwardly and asked, "The child doesn't understand what you mean by what you say, Dad?" ”
"What happened to you in the academy, do you think no one told me? It is Wen Wei's grandson's fault that the beating is stopped, but Lan'er, you have to remember that the Lin family is a scholarly family, and this action will always be said behind people's backs, and it will be a loss of style. ”
Lin Lan narrowed her eyes and said, "Dad, I'll sing you a song." ”
"Oh?"
"The law-abiding dynasty is depressed, the strong beam sings happily night and night, hurts others and benefits himself, rides horses and mules, and starves with integrity and fairness. I went to the west and asked the Buddha about it, and the Buddha said, 'I don't have a problem with it!' ’。 ”
"Go, go, where did you hear the nonsense." Lin Ruhai shook his head and scolded with a smile, "Okay, it's time to get to the ground, your tower is here." ”
Lin Lan opened the curtain and took a look, and on the lantern held tall by the bamboo pole, there was a big word "捌" written on it, and then glanced at the main entrance, and said with a smile: "Sanyuanlou, it's really a coincidence that there is no book!" Slippery, walk. ”
"Alas, young master." Shunyo, who was sitting next to the groom, jumped out of the car excitedly.
Growing up so big, it's the first time I've come to see the poetry club.
