If you count the days, Lin Luan Ancestor has been in Zhongzhou for two hundred and thirty-one days.

Today is the day when Lin Luan's ancestors return to their hometowns.

Lin Laozu, as the crown prince and the prince, the northern Qiangong of the empire, stayed in the Tingxuan Pavilion of Yunjing's official city.

Today's Tingxuan Pavilion is not lively, and there are countless people who come and go to see them off.

Lin Luan's ancestor is strong, and he is full of poetry and books, and his seniority is not low in Zhongzhou, and many new officials worship under the ancestor and become Lin Luan's disciples.

This New Year's return to his hometown is naturally to show that all the people who see him off are all people with a net worth of millions, so they naturally have to behave in front of Master Lin Luan.

"Taishi. ”

On the terrace of the courtyard of Tingxuan Pavilion, the prince in a dragon robe saluted the ancestor of Lin Luan.

"Boxun, do you know why this garden finch doesn't fly south in the cold winter?"

Lin Luan Ancestor sat cross-legged on the terrace and pointed to a few house finches playing in the water in the courtyard.

Although it is a cold winter, spring flowers are still blooming in this courtyard, and the stream flows down from the rockery and gathers in a pool of clear water.

"I'm afraid that if I stay in this leisurely courtyard for too long, I have long forgotten that I should fly south. ”

That's a good idea, but it's too shallow. ”

Lin Luan Ancestor waved his hand, and suddenly, the spring-filled courtyard turned into a cold and solemn appearance, the flowing water froze, and the flowers withered.

There were even snowflakes, and at this time, the house finches hurriedly flapped their feathers and hurriedly flew towards the outside of the courtyard.

"It's not that the finch has forgotten to fly south, it's the environment. ”

"The finch always has the instinct of the finch to change with the sky, if the sky is cold, the finch flies south, if the sky warms up, the finch returns to the north. ”

"Boxun, have you ever thought about why the four seasons in the south are like spring, and the chaffinus will still return to the north in the warm spring?"

The eldest prince thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Boxun is stupid, and I hope the master will tell you. ”

"Although the south is said to be like spring all year round, this north is the hometown. ”

"Is the Taishi homecoming?"

Lin Luan was silent, and took a sip of tea, the tea was slightly hot, and he just took a sip slightly.

"Sometimes I really can't tell if you're really stupid or fake. ”

"If the Taishi thinks Boxun is really stupid, then Boxun is really stupid. ”

The eldest prince showed a faint smile, and Lin Luan didn't look at this smile.

"Are you just afraid that you're not worried about this bird's return to the north?"

"Taishi said that it was a bird, what can it do if it goes north and south, and the birdfinch is a birdfinch after all. ”

"No matter how angry the bird is, he can't become a dragon that soars into the sky. ”

Lin Luan glanced back at Li Boxun and sighed.

"Boxun, do you know what I'm most afraid of?"

"Master, please speak. ”

"I'm most afraid that you will be smart all your life, but you will be confused for a while. ”

"Then the Taishi can be relieved, Boxun is now a fool, but he can wait for that smart moment. ”

After hearing this, Lin Luan laughed.

"Gong Lin, our family has helped you clean up your things, and the carriage is ready. ”

Yuan Gonggong said at the screen outside the courtyard terrace, his voice was neither loud nor small, and he could just let the people inside hear it clearly.

Hearing that the car was ready, Lin Laozu got up and poured the pot of tea into the courtyard.

The tea poured out, and the spring color in the garden suddenly returned.

"Father-in-law Yuan is really quick to do things, Boxun, then I'll go. ”

"Boxun brought several sons of the Chen family and the Xiao family to send off the Taishi today. ”

Lin Luan heard that it was several sons of the Chen family and the Xiao family, so he naturally understood which ones they were.

"In this case, you can just send it to the gate of the official city. ”

With that, Lin Luan walked out of the Tingxuan Pavilion with a smile.

"His Royal Highness the Prince's car, our family has also prepared. ”

"Taishi is right, Gonggong Yuan is indeed a good man. ”

After the prince said that, he stuffed a silver ticket of 5,000 taels to Gonggong Yuan, who saw the silver ticket and hurriedly put it away.

"Let's do things for the official family, that's right. ”

Just for the carriage and horse expenses, you can't use five thousand taels of silver, and this silver is naturally for Lin Taishi to pay for the labor expenses of Tingxuan Pavilion.

On the day of the Taishi's return to his hometown, this Tingxuan Pavilion still has to be cleaned, and it can't just be left alone.

Five thousand taels, no more, no less, hire a few maids and handymen to clean up this Tingxuan Pavilion, and then buy some gadgets that the master likes.

The rest of the money is the reward of Yuan Gonggong.

This Yunjing is divided into three layers, the most central layer is the cloud palace where the Li royal family lives, and outside the cloud palace is the official city of Nuoda.

In the official city, there are large and small officials, and the consumption in this official city is not low.

After all, the people living in this city are either rich or expensive, and the monthly allowance of those scholars and doctors is enough to be five or six thousand taels of silver.

As an official, it is natural to have a clean breeze on both sleeves, but some oil and water that should be fished must also be fished appropriately.

For example, this royal reward, this merchant's personnel, this foreign official's filial piety.

The gift that should be received is naturally to be accepted, if it is not accepted, then the relationship between people has become a joke?

Outside the official city is the private city, although it is not as bright and willow green as the official city, it can be regarded as lively.

At the very least, it is much more lively than Yongzhou Mansion.

"Open the city gate!

The voice of the officials watching the city gate was not small, and the squeaky gate of the official city slowly opened, carrying the carriage of Lin Luan Ancestor, and slowly drove towards Yongzhou Mansion.

......

At this time, on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth month of consciousness, in the past ten days, after the shopkeeper Liu got the investment of Zuo Gong, he directly opened the Yuelai Inn in Yongzhou City.

Moreover, it is only one street away from Songhe Tower.

This new realm is much brighter than the previous Yuelai Inn.

In the past ten days, Yang Ming and Mo Lin have helped Shopkeeper Liu to do a lot of work, and even Hu Yue has done his best to help with something.

In the past two days, Lin Laozu was about to return to Yongzhou Mansion, so Lin Ruo simply moved out of the Lin family.

This move made Lin Xiao feel very helpless, his own girl had been avoiding his father, and he Lin Xiao seemed to be not a human being inside and out.

However, fortunately, Lin Ruo was still in Yongzhou Mansion, and he and Lu Cheng temporarily lived in the high-end suite of the Xinyuelai Inn.

This superior suite is really comfortable, with a large and soft bed, and a comfortable and relaxing rocking chair.

Even the rattan chair is several times more comfortable than the previous Yuelai Inn!

What's even happier is that Yang Ming and Senior Brother Mo Lin no longer have to sleep on rattan chairs.

The superior suite has three bedrooms, Lao Lu sleeps one, Yang Ming and Mo Lin sleep one, and Hu Yue and Lin Ruo sleep one.

Tang Er's family is naturally resident in the Drunken Immortal Building, and recently Tang Er's family and an Oiran in the Drunken Immortal Building are fighting hotly, and it is like a fairy every night.

So much so that he has not shown up in recent days.

"Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, how are we going to spend this year?"

Yang Ming was helping Shopkeeper Liu clean up the kitchen, and Hu Yue and Lin Ruo were also in the kitchen.

"I heard Xiaohua say that on Chinese New Year's Eve, Elder Jiang asked us to go to Songhe Tower for the New Year. ”

Hu Yue was arranging a pile of plates and knives, and Lin Ruo was picking up wine glasses and chopsticks.

"I've heard about it, it seems that Tang Ke and Donkey Master will come, and Shopkeeper Liu and the Third Prince will also come over after they finish cleaning the inn. ”

"Hey, why haven't I seen the donkey master recently, what is the donkey master busy with?"

The little girl Hu Yue really hasn't seen the donkey much recently.

"Master Donkey seems to have been obsessed with some gambling card game recently, and he is playing in a small gambling house. ”

At this time, the donkey master had gambled with Ah Zhen for thirty rounds in the small casino, but the donkey master had a bad hand and never won a handful.

"Hahahaha! This donkey master, I'm afraid you will lose miserably today!"

Ah Zhen turned over two purple cards with excellent luck, which made the donkey master panic.

"It's too exciting, why do you always turn over the purple card?"

Guo Xu watched very energetically from the side, and gave a thumbs up to Ah Zhen's luck.

"Damn, don't make any noise, I'm sure I'll be able to win the gold medal!"

In this way, the donkey master has come to challenge the invincible Ah Zhen almost every day in the past few days.

"That donkey is really boring enough, he can't come and help us do some work. ”

Yang Ming looked helpless, let the donkey master come over to work? If it doesn't destroy it, you have to burn high incense.

The trial operation stage of this Yuelai Inn has also attracted a lot of people from the rivers and lakes.

Recently, the business of the inn is indeed very hot, inquiring about the news, tasting wine and eating, and watching the proprietress of the hostess, it is full of people.

Lao Lu has slept well for a few days these days, and he seems to have been busy talking nonsense with the soul crossing flag recently?

This old Lu is really a strange person, he doesn't taste the good wine of Yuelai Inn, and he doesn't taste the good food of Songhe Tower, and he has secretly guarded the soul crossing flag in the house for the past two days.

Talking to himself, and sometimes scolding.

Yang Ming knew that he was talking nonsense with his own god transformation weapon, but he didn't know that he thought that Lao Lu was mentally disordered.

Finally, Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived, and today's Yongzhou Fubei Street is unusually lively.

The dragon and lion dance procession starts from the intersection of North Street, while the dragon dance beats to the rhythm of gongs and drums.

The little dolls on the road are carrying lanterns to play, and this lively scene must be indispensable to people who love to join in the fun.

Yang Ming and Hu Yue poured into the crowd with lanterns with lanterns, and Lin Ruo and Mo Lin were left behind by them.

The five of them walked along the crowd of North Street from south to north towards the Songhe Tower.

When passing by the square of North Street, the eyes of several people were attracted by the entertainers.

They threw their torches in the air and spun in a beautiful, verbal arc.

This hand-to-hand craftsmanship drew applause from onlookers.

"It's time to set off firecrackers in the Taishou Mansion! Let's go, let's go and see!"

Yang Ming walked in front with a lantern, and Hu Yue followed closely with Xiaohua.

Lin Ruo and Mo Lin trotted all the way through the crowd to keep up with the footsteps of these three people.

"Blind dates, friends, Happy Chinese New Year's Eve Happy Chinese New Year's Eve!"

Lin Taishou and a group of staff of the Taishou Mansion reported good luck to everyone at the gate of the Taishou Mansion, and a small official held a high pole, and the pole was full of firecrackers.

The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out, which shocked Xiaohua and Hu Yue and hurriedly covered their ears.

After the firecrackers were fired, the gongs and drums of the dragon dance team were heard not far away, and the procession gradually came towards the Taishou Mansion.

There are rules for the New Year in Taishou Mansion, and tens of thousands of old copper plates should be prepared to be sprinkled in front of the door of Taishou Mansion, scattering old money and welcoming new silver.

People in the past came to pick up copper plates to show that they had more than enough every year.

"Let's go! Go to Songhe Tower, I guess they are all in a hurry!"

The five people hurriedly ran towards the Songhe Tower, and at this time, the fireworks on the city gate had already risen.

The colorful lights and shadows all highlight the liveliness and beauty of Yongzhou Mansion.

In the Lin Mansion, Lin Laozu was holding a book and reading it carefully, and the incense burner in the main hall of the main house spread a wisp of sandalwood fragrance.

Lin Xiao walked into the main hall and saluted Lin Laozu.

"Father. ”

"After the New Year, you should be thirty-seven years old?"

"Exactly, my son has just passed the year of his birth. ”

Lin Luan put the book down and closed his eyes tightly.

"That bastard boy from Lu Cheng is back?"

"He's been back for three months and is now staying at the Joy Inn. ”

"The third prince and Liu Ruyu reorganized the Yuelai Inn, what do you think?"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and said:

"The family business of the Qianlong Club naturally cannot be easily abandoned, and the Yuelai Inn in Yongzhou Mansion is still well-known in the rivers and lakes. ”

"In my opinion, I think the third prince wants to borrow the hand of the six ears and fly south from the north goose?"

Lin Luan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xiao with some approval.

"I can't imagine that you have such a soft temperament, but you have a pair of discerning eyes. ”

"Hey, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get close to the royal family, would you?"

Lin Xiao said that the play provoked Lin Luan to laugh twice.

"Although your mother-in-law has a fiery temper, she is also a county lord after all. ”

"I wonder how Jun Han's practice has been recently?"

Lin Xiao couldn't enter the Wuqing Mountain, so he could only ask the ancestor of the Transformation God Realm.

"I just heard that Jun Han's cultivation has been good recently, and he will be able to go out of the mountain in three or five years. ”

After listening to it for three or five years, this Lin Xiao was a little unhappy.

Three or five years, if there was no protection from his wife, wouldn't Lin Ruo really have to marry Tang Xin?

"Ruo'er still refuses to go home?"

When Lin Luan asked Lin Xiao about Lin Ruo, Lin Xiao had to sigh and shake his head.

"Tang Xin is a good young man, and the battle between the henchmen in the Zhongzhou court is too fierce, as the eldest prince, I naturally have to win over the doormen. ”

Now although the second prince is greedy for beauty and indulges in fun, there are not a few of his supporters. After all, he was the immortal disciple of the old hermit cultivator of the Pavilion that day!"

Although the three princes have never been in Zhongzhou, they are extremely famous in the rivers and lakes, and are deeply appreciated by the three major generals of Zhongzhou. ”

Hearing Lin Luan say this, Lin Xiao rolled his eyes.

He was right.

On the surface, it seems that the third prince rebuilt the Yuelai Inn in order to reorganize the Liu'er Branch, but in fact, it was to cater to the intelligence organization of Zhongzhou Mu.

From this point of view, the big man behind this Hidden Dragon Club must have nothing to do with Zhongzhou Mu!

"The eldest prince is smart, knows how to forbear, and it is not easy for a person in his fifties to hide his edge. ”

"These two princes, although they are a little stubborn, but their literary talents are not below you, and they are not good at making friends with academics. ”

"Now, I'm most worried about this Uncle Li!"

After speaking, Lin Luan's eyes became sharp.

"Li Shuyun doesn't seem to be favored, and he was sent to Beiqian, but in fact, he is the one who is most favored by the Zong family!"

"Tianlun Lihuo Gong, if it really becomes a thing, enters the realm of transforming gods, and masters the true fire of Tianlun, then I'm afraid no one can really control him. ”

"The eldest prince and the second prince are still a little more bookish in the final analysis, and compared with Li Shuyun, they still owe a little heat. ”

Lin Xiao immediately understood what his father meant.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will come to the door with gifts and give a big gift for the opening of Yuelai Inn!"

"You still understand things, the eldest prince here, I'll work hard, the third prince, you secretly befriend. ”

"Our Lin family is bound to not be able to suffer. ”

"As for the second prince......

Lin Luan thought about it, this second prince was the one he looked down on the most, but since the castle tower had bet on him, then ......

"Father, the second prince can let Lin Zheng walk around, if it doesn't work......"

Lin Xiao rubbed his wrist and coughed lightly twice.

"We'd better not interfere in royal matters, but the castle tower has been too arrogant over the years. ”

Lin Luan Ancestor's face showed a look of displeasure.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Lin Mansion was deserted, but this desertion corresponded to what the Lin Mansion had always done.

The house is naturally clean, and Lin Feng is too guarded by the house, and that is the lively place.

The house is for people, and people should rest and recuperate in purity.

The government is peaceful, and the officials come and go lively.

For officials, for businessmen, for people, for Tao, all these people who come and go are all for a good word, working hard.

Even if he is an extraordinary person like Lin Luan who has entered the divine realm, he cannot escape from the mundane world who has entered the world.

That's right.

The world is bustling, all for profit.

The world is crowded, all for profit.
