Luo Shaoqing, Chu Lin and Yuan Cheng hurriedly looked at the roof, only to see ten arrows flying down from the roof.

Yuan Cheng and Fan Ruodi wanted to go up and stop the arrows, but Luo Shaoqing stopped him.

The two of them didn't know why Luo Shaoqing stopped them, but Luo Shaoqing didn't explain to them, just motioned for them to continue watching.

Before they could react, they suddenly saw the ten arrows tied with red silk slashing through the sky over the front yard, and fixed on the prepared wooden stake on the courtyard wall opposite the hall.

Before everyone had time to take a closer look, they saw that from the roof of the hall, there were dozens of big red lanterns tied at a certain distance, each of which was descending at a uniform speed along the ten red silks.

Everyone looked at the red lantern that fell from the roof at a uniform speed, like an overwhelming red tide, and it didn't take long to cover the sky over the entire front yard, so that the front yard, which was not dark, was as bright as day at once, and everyone couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this.

Yuan Cheng and Fan Ruodi looked up at the red lantern that was falling at a uniform speed, wanting to take a closer look at how it was hung on the red silk, but Luo Shaoyi on the side stabbed Lin Yuelang next to him with his elbow, and asked first: "Yuelang, how did the lantern hang on the red silk without falling off?" ”

What Luo Shaoyi asked was also what the people present wanted to know, but he didn't help much with the matters in this mansion at all, so he couldn't answer, and everyone could only turn their eyes to Luo Shaoqing, who came here from time to time

Luo Shaoqing saw that everyone was looking at him, and he had already introduced the reason for this.

At the beginning, Lin Yuelang High School had a lot of guests, and now that Lin Mansion has moved to a new house, there will be no shortage of guests who will come. Lin Yueying thought that if it was dark and people were asked to light the lanterns one by one, it would be time-consuming and laborious, and if any of them were reckless and burned others, it would be inappropriate. Therefore, Lin Yueying asked people to prepare lanterns and red silk, and when the sun fell, she let Feiyu fly wings, and together with eight people who could draw bows and shoot arrows, on the roof of the front hall, first shoot out the arrows tied with red silk, nail them to the wooden stakes prepared at the courtyard wall, and then at the other end of the red silk, pass through the lantern handle connected by red silk, and go down at a uniform speed along the red silk.

"Oh, I see!"

Luo Shaoyi suddenly realized, but what others were more concerned about was how Lin Yueying came up with this method?

In the backyard, one of the official ladies looked at the darkened sky, and asked, "It's getting dark, why haven't you seen anyone come to light the lamp?" ”

The official lady sitting next to her, how did she know the reason: "Who knows! ”

But when she had finished speaking, she saw six maids come in with a candlestick each.

The official lady looked at the small candlestick in the maid's hand, and snickered: "How big a place can such a small candlestick illuminate?" ”

"That's it, that's it."

Ji Xun also looked at the small candlestick, also puzzled. Lin Yueying has renovated such a large mansion, it is impossible to even afford candles, but why are there only six candlesticks now?

Fan Ruojiao, who was sitting on the right side of Luo Shaoying, slowly got up, came to Lin Yueying's left side, and secretly pulled the corners of Lin Yueying's clothes, and whispered in Lin Yueying's ear: "Cousin Yueying, has the money for the Lin Mansion been emptied of the renovation of this new mansion?" How did I just take a candlestick and come out, this is also too shabby. ”

Fan Ruojiao's bluntness, Lin Yueying just smiled and said nothing, and even Luo Jinyu asked: "Yueying, is this ......?"

What Lin Yueying wants to do is not an earth-shattering spectacle, but it is also a rare strange scene, if Lin Yueying said it so easily, wouldn't what she thought and did in the past few days be in vain?

"Auntie will find out later!"

Lin Yueying persuaded Luo Jinyu, but Luo Jinyu still looked at the six maids holding candlesticks with anxiety.

When the six maids came to the courtyard, they divided into two groups, one left and one right, and went around to the back of the seats, and each stood by the tree behind the seat.

The ladies of the official family, looking at the maid sitting behind the seat, snickered: "The money from the Lin Mansion is used to decorate the house, and there is no candle left?" ”

Xu is that they snickered too much, so that Ji Xun and the others could hear it clearly, but just now Lin Yueying said it, let Luo Jinyu wait, and she didn't ask much.

The maids standing behind the tree, after making sure that they were all standing, put the candle in their hands close to one of the fruits of the tree......

Ji Xun saw that the maidservants were close to the candle flames, and finally asked: "Yueying, what are they ......?"

Ji Xun asked, Luo Jinyu and the others looked at Lin Yueying with no shame.

Lin Yueying saw that everyone was looking at her, but she still didn't answer, and motioned for them to continue watching.

The ladies of the official family thought that the maids wanted to set a fire, and they stopped them when they opened their mouths, but the maids had already put the candle flame into the palm-sized fruit on the tree.

As soon as the candle flame was put into the fruit, the inside of the fruit was lit up, and when it was lit up, I saw a fiery snake come out of the fruit, and burrow into another fruit along the trunk of the tree, and so on, as if countless fiery snakes were crawling on the branches, and wherever they went, the fire splashed everywhere, gradually lighting up all the fruits on the tree, making the already golden leaves even more golden.

After the maids lit all the fruits on the tree, the leaves like gold flakes reflected the candles in the fruits, illuminating the entire backyard.

This strange scene made Ji Xun and the others marvel, and it really blocked those official ladies who chewed the root of their tongues.

Qi Qi, who was sitting alone on the edge of the pool, looked at the fire tree and silver flower, and did not marvel like everyone else, but looked at Lin Yueying, who was sitting beside Luo Shaoyuan.

Fan Ruojiao looked at the fire tree and silver flowers in the courtyard, and shook Lin Yueying's arm, eager to know the answer: "Cousin Yueying, how did you do this, how did the fruit on the tree be lit like a lantern?" ”

What Fan Ruojiao asked was also what everyone wanted to know.

Lin Yueying saw everyone's curiosity looking at her, so she explained to them: "Actually, it's nothing, the fruit on the tree is a lantern, it's just made into the shape of a fruit." As for the sudden and fleeting fire snake, it was nothing more than a note stained with kerosene! ”

After listening to Lin Yueying's explanation, everyone suddenly realized, and they all praised her for being smart and yin.

After the lights were lit, everyone returned to everyone, and Chu Xingluo, who had just finished talking to his peers and was about to return to his seat, saw Chu Lin, who was sitting in front of his position, looking at Yuan Cheng, who was sitting on the left side of Luo Shaoqing.

Chu Xingluo is still unclear about Lin Yueying and Yuan Cheng's affairs, but Lin Yuelang and Yuan Cheng are so close, he also feels that it is inappropriate, but the Yuan family is kind to Lin Yuelang, he can't say anything, and he can only pretend that it doesn't matter to him and sit in his place.

In front of the hall, Fan Liaochen, Luo Jinmin, Lin Jinzhuo and Chu Sheng sat side by side from left to right, and after everyone was seated, Lin Jinzhuo asked Lin Liang to serve the food, and Lin Liang motioned to Xiao Si, who was waiting on the right side of the hall.

Xiao Si saw Lin Liang winking at him, and immediately turned around and nodded towards the other end of the verandah.

Another Xiao Si, who was standing at the other end of the verandah, saw the man nodding, and immediately looked at the back kitchen, and said to the maid who was waiting in front of the kitchen with the dishes, "Serve." ”

As soon as Xiao Si finished speaking, he got out of the way and asked the maid with the dishes to bring the dishes out.

The dozens of maids took the dishes and drinks to the front yard and the backyard respectively, and after finishing the dishes one by one, they retreated.

Now that everyone has arrived and the dishes are also served, Lin Jinzhuo said to Luo Jinmin, who was sitting on his right: "Brother, the younger brother is soft-spoken, and Brother Lao has opened a golden mouth and said an auspicious word, so that the younger brother can ask for good luck!" ”

Luo Jinmin came here today, just to join in the fun, how could he steal the limelight from Lin Jinzhuo? hurriedly excused himself: "Hey, look at what Brother Jinzhuo said, Brother Fool is just a guest, how can he steal the limelight of your master's house?" ”

"Brother is polite, with my brother's knowledge and vision, say a word or two, so that we can pay our respects!"

Lin Jinzhuo saw that Luo Jinmin shirked it, so he asked again.

Lin Jinzhuo asked Luo Jinmin to make a speech, that is, he respected Luo Jinmin as an elder, but today is the relocation of the Lin Mansion, and the protagonist is naturally Lin Jinzhuo, he repeatedly asked Luo Jinmin to make a speech, Chu Qingyun was about to come out and say: "Brother Jinzhuo, in the past, it was okay to listen to my brother's reprimand, today's happy day, you just go around me and wait, I don't want to listen to my brother's reprimand!" ”

What Chu Qingyun said was naturally a joke, but his joke was only what he said, who dared to echo him?

Although Fan Liaochen didn't dare to agree with Chu Qingyun's statement, he also followed him to persuade Lin Jinzhuo: "Brother Jinzhuo, my brother has said it, today my brother is just a guest, you are the main family, today you move to a new house, this speech is naturally yours!" ”

As soon as Fan Liaochen finished speaking, Luo Jinmin continued his words and said: "That's it, if your master doesn't speak, who will follow the chopsticks!" ”

Now not only Chu Qingyun came to persuade Lin Jinzhuo, but even Fan Liaochen also came to persuade Lin Jinzhuo, Lin Jinzhuo thought about it again and again, so he stopped complimenting, and took out the style of the main family and gave a speech himself.

Lin Jinzhuo picked up the wine glass on his desk and stood up, first saluting Luo Jinmin and Fan Liaochen, then Chu Qingyun, and then saluting all the guests at the table: "'When the autumn moon is full, it is worth flying at night. 'Today, someone Lin moved to a new house, thanks to all of you for appreciating your face here, someone Lin is really grateful, today a special table of wine, I hope you don't want to dislike it, please! ”

After Lin Jinzhuo finished speaking, he once again saluted Luo, Chu, and Fan, as well as all the guests present, and drank all the wine in the cup.

When everyone saw Lin Jinzhuo toasting, they also admired their faces and drank the wine in their cups.

Lin Jinzhuo saw that everyone had drunk the first glass of wine, so he lowered the wine glass in his hand, freed his right hand again, and invited everyone again: "Please!" ”

After Lin Jinzhuo finished speaking, he was about to sit down, and the people at the table all picked up the chopsticks, but before they could hold the chopsticks steady, they suddenly heard a high-pitched shout: "The second son has arrived!" ”

When everyone heard this, they stopped their movements.

Now that the people invited by the Lin Mansion have arrived, the second son who came out of this bone will be the second son of whose family?

"Second son, whose second son?"

"I don't know. He only said that he was the second son, but there were so many second sons in the imperial capital, who knew who he was shouting? ”

After the two of them finished speaking, they both looked behind the east wall.

As soon as Luo Shaoqing and Chu Lin heard the sound, they raised their eyes and glanced at each other, and Lin Yuelang, who was sitting in the first position on the left, heard the sound and looked at the east wall, and he didn't know who Xiao Si was shouting in front of the door.

The big red lantern hung high obscured the rising moonlight and illuminated the blue and white slate red.

Behind the east wall, a foot wearing black brocade boots on a white background stepped out.

The man appeared in front of the east wall, and under the light of the candles in the red lantern, his crown of pure white jade single-petaled lotus flowers was illuminated red, and his blue clothes were turned brown, and the green pine on the skirt was turned into a brownish-red pine.

Chu Xingluo looked at the fresh faces next to the east wall, and became vigilant: "Big brother! ”

Chu Lin heard Chu Xingluo, who was sitting on his right, shouting to himself, and he also became vigilant: "It seems that there is really no way to live comfortably today!" ”

He Li, who bypassed the east wall, looked at the bluestone slab that was illuminated red, but the tragic situation of corpses all over the ground and rivers of blood flowed in front of him!

He Li didn't want to think about it, so he raised his head and glanced at the people on the table.

Most of the guests at the table were people from the Luo family's faction, and what was even more eye-catching was Yuan Cheng who was sitting on Luo Shaoqing's left.

The Lin Mansion was relocated to hold a banquet, and He Li might not be able to see Lin Yueying, but he could still take this opportunity to confirm that the people he had seen in this mansion at the beginning had really returned to this mansion?

Lin Jinzhuo, who was on the main seat, felt bad when he saw what he was leaving.

Because of the investigation of Lin Yuelang's poisoning, Lin Yueying has already touched He Hao's scales, and now He Li is uninvited at this juncture, I'm afraid there will be nothing good!

Lin Jinzhuo didn't dare to think about it, and was about to get up immediately.

Xin'er, who was waiting behind Lin Jinzhuo, also listened to Chu Sheng's words, and before she had time to take a serious look at He Li, she saw that Lin Jinzhuo was about to get up, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

After Xin'er helped Lin Jinzhuo up, she did not follow Lin Jinzhuo to greet He Li, but retreated back and secretly retreated.

Lin Feng, who was waiting beside Lin Yuelang, saw that He Li was leaving, so he hurriedly looked at Xin'er, but she secretly retreated.

Lin Jinzhuo got down from the main seat, and walked a few steps to a place with He Li, who was coming to him: "Lin doesn't know that the second son has come to the cold house, and he has missed the welcome, so please don't be surprised by the second son!" ”

He Li didn't know Lin Jinzhuo, but he also saw that Lin Jinzhuo came down from the main seat, and it was not Luo Jinmin who sat on the high seat, or Chu Qingyun and Fan Liaochen, and the only one who could sit on an equal footing with them was Lin Jinzhuo, the third aunt of the Yin Kingdom Mansion.

He Li saw Lin Jinzhuo apologize to himself, but he didn't return the gift, looked at the guests present, and said: "Lord Lin is polite, He Li came uninvited, but Lord Lin should not be surprised!" ”

Fan Liaochen, who was on the main seat, looked at He Li who was talking to Lin Jinzhuo in the courtyard, so he turned his face slightly to Luo Jinmin, and whispered to Luo Jinmin: "Brother, why don't you come uninvited, you don't want to make trouble, right?" ”

Although He Li came back for a few days, he was never late or left early, and he carefully checked the twists and turns in Shangshutai every day, Fan Liaochen said that he came to make trouble, Luo Jinmin was really unsure.

Luo Jinmin looked at He Li again and made sure that he only brought Zhong alone, so he said: "Now you, me and Sheng are here, and most of them are our people, He Li shouldn't do anything foolish, you and I will wait and see what happens!" ”

"Okay."

What Luo Jinmin said was also true, and Fan Liaochen was no longer worried.

In the courtyard, Lin Jinzhuo continued to talk to He Li: "How come, but the second son should not dislike Lin Someone's small Lin Mansion!" ”

Lin Jinzhuo said, and asked He Li to sit in his place: "Second son, please take a seat." ”

It was either Luo Jinmin or Chu Qingyun sitting on the main seat, how could He Li be guilty and not qualified to sit on an equal footing with them, so he rejected Lin Jinzhuo: "He Li doesn't dare!" ”

Lin Jinzhuo saw He Li's refusal and wanted to ask someone to add a table, but the table rankings were all set, and it was really embarrassing for Lin Jinzhuo to suddenly add a table.

Lin Yuelang saw that Lin Jinzhuo was embarrassed, so he thought about giving up his position and going to the same table with Luo Shaoqing who was sitting on his left, or Yuan Cheng on Luo Shaoqing's left. But before he hesitated, he heard Chu Lin's voice: "If the second son doesn't give up, you can sit here with Chu Lin." ”

Chu Lin got up as he spoke, making room for He Li.

Lin Jinzhuo, who really had no way to arrange, saw that Chu Lin had given up his position, so he turned around and looked back at Chu Qingyun on the main seat.

Chu Lin gave up his position in order to relieve Lin Jinzhuo, Chu Qingyun naturally didn't say anything, so he nodded at Lin Jinzhuo.

Lin Jinzhuo saw that Chu Qingyun had allowed, and turned around and came back to He Li and said, "Second son, look ......"

Now Lin Jinzhuo is not only on an equal footing with Luo Jinmin and Chu Qingyun, but also Fan Liaochen, but now He Li is uninvited, Lin Jinzhuo has no way to arrange a seat, Chu Lin has to give up his position, Chu Lin has to make He Li more cautious.

Since Chu Lin gave up his position, He Li couldn't stand all the time, so he readily agreed: "Then He Li will thank Chu Gongzi." ”

Lin Jinzhuo saw that He Li agreed, so he asked people to remove the dishes on the low table that Chu Lin had not touched at all, and then asked He Li to invite Chu Lin.

On the other side, Lin Yuelang, who was about to get up, pursed his lower lip in displeasure when he saw Chu Lin robbing his business.

Chu Lin didn't say anything when he saw He Li walking towards him, so he sat next to Chu Xingluo and huddled with him.

After Lin Jinzhuo saw He Li sit down, he returned to his seat and sat down.

In front of the back kitchen, the chef in charge looked at the dishes that had not been moved, and looked at the few maids holding the tray with dissatisfaction: "This seems to have not been moved!" ”

The maid with the dish explained: "The second son of Lingyun Palace's Mansion is here, isn't it that his position has not been arranged, and the prince of Chulin will give up his position to the second son." ”

"Oh, that's right."

The chef turned to the side as he spoke, "Go get a new one." ”

"Yes."

The maid responded, put the food in her hand on the table in front of the kitchen door, and went into the kitchen to get a new dish.

Yuan Cheng, who was sitting next to Luo Shaoqing, picked up a dish and put it in his mouth to eat, looking at He Li, who was sitting opposite.

On the left seat, Luo Shaoyi, who was sitting on the right side of Fan Ruodi, raised his butt and leaned on the right, and whispered to Fan Ruodi: "Ruodi, why do you say that this kid is uninvited, what do you want?" ”

"I don't know, but it's just the two of them, and they don't dare to do anything!"

"Yes."

Wangshu, who had not yet finished the chord, hung high in the sea of stars, and the sparse night clouds slowly floated in front of Wangshu, as if covering her with a light veil.

Under Wangshu, in the Yuan Mansion, which was two streets away from the Lin Mansion, Yuan Heng and Liu Yeqian sat together, one reading a book and the other reading an account.

Yuan Heng, who had been watching for a while, glanced out the window, Wangshu in the sky, and asked uncomfortably for a while: "Cheng'er has been gone for a while, why hasn't he come back yet?" ”

Liu Yeqian heard Yuan Heng's question, turned a page of the account book, and replied to him: "Cheng'er is going to the banquet, how can he come back so soon?" Moreover, there are birds and fish beside him, and no one can hurt him! Besides, the Lin Mansion has invited so many guests, Cheng'er may not be able to see Lin Yueying, if Cheng'er wants to see Lin Yueying, then she has to wait until the banquet is over. If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until the second half of the night. ”

Yuan Heng just said a word, but Liu Yeqian said a lot lightly.

Although Liu Yeyan's words are an understatement, which sentence is not worried about Yuan Cheng?

Liu Yeqian has a hard mouth like this, Yuan Heng is used to it, but with her last sentence, Yuan Heng can't help but be a little worried: "Then Lin Yueying has a marriage contract with Chu Lin, why does Madame want to indulge Cheng'er like this?" ”

"I didn't indulge him!"

Liu Yeqian denied it, but Yuan Heng was still not white: "That lady is ...... just now"

"It's right that Lin Yueying and Chu Lin have a marriage contract, but if they don't get married one day, then Cheng'er has a slight possibility, since Cheng'er wants to go, let him go!"

"But that's not right, isn't it?"

"Let the young people go!"

What she said just now, Liu Yeqian also said it reluctantly, and she is a little unconfident now.

What if Yuan Cheng and Lin Yueying have some possibilities, what stands between them is not as simple as a south wall!

It was the first time for Yuan Heng to see such a bottomless Liu Yeqi, so he felt a little speechless: "This ......"

In the corner of the wall on the right side of the Lin Mansion Hall, Xin'er was lying on the corner of the wall, poking her head out and looking at He Li in the seat.

When the banquet was almost over, everyone left the table, and gathered together in twos and threes to chat, only He Li, who came alone, sat alone in his place and drank.

Xu Na He drank too much wine, so he got up to find a thatched house.

Luo Shaoqing, who was standing with Chu Lin and talking, saw He Li get up and leave, and did not remind Chu Lin, but continued to chat with him. And Lin Jinzhuo, who also saw He Li leaving, asked Fei Yu, who had returned to him, to follow and take a look.

Fei Yu followed He Li all the way, and after making sure that he was just going to the thatched house, he turned around and went back to tell Lin Jinzhuo.

Zhong, who was waiting in front of the thatched house, looked at the surrounding scenery, but before he could take a look, he was beaten from behind.

Zhong Yingsheng, who was knocked unconscious, fell to the ground, but the person who came raised his legs and straddled him and walked to the thatched house where He Li was.

He Li, who was still relieving himself in the thatched house, heard the movement outside and had to be vigilant, but what he was doing made him unable to stop at all.

Outside the door of the thatched house, the man held the hammer in his hand and slowly walked to the thatched house where He Li was......

Luo Sanchuan, who was in the dark, passed by here, and saw that the man was holding a hammer close to the thatched house, and did not stop, but simply glanced at it and left.

He Li in the thatched hut looked at the thatched hut by the faint candle flame, but the only things that could defend himself in the thatched hut were the bamboo pieces that were prepared on the side.

He Li, who was not finished yet, turned sideways slightly, stretched out his right hand, and brought a piece of bamboo to defend himself.

The man stood in front of the door, blocking the lights in the courtyard and the light shining through the crack in the door.

He Li's side is not finished yet, but the person who came has already arrived at the door, if He Li doesn't want to be made by himself, he can only defeat the enemy with one move.

The man outside the door, staring at the closed door, raised the hammer in his hand......

He Li clenched the bamboo piece in his hand, and measured the height of the person who came, so that he could strike first. But before he could guess the height of the man, he suddenly heard a rattling on the door, and when he listened carefully, it was the sound of a hammer hitting a nail.

He Li listened to the loud sound of the nails, and there was a hint of speech, he was just a thatched house, and someone was so bored that he wanted to trap himself here.

He Li, who reacted for a long time, put down the bamboo piece in his hand and pretended to be panicked and shouted: "Who is outside, what is this doing?" ”

No matter what He Li shouted, he picked up the wooden board and sealed the door of the thatched house until the door of the thatched house where He Li was located was sealed.

He Li, who was finished, after fastening his pants, turned around pretending to open the door panel that was facing inward.

When the visitor heard He leave the door, he turned around and ran.

He Li wanted to see who that person was, but the light in the courtyard was a little dim, and the person was running too fast, He Li couldn't see who that person was at all, but he actually saw Zhong who fell to the ground.

He Li no longer looked at who the person was, and he was about to kick the door open when he raised his foot, but just as his foot was about to kick the door, he stopped again......

Lin Jinzhuo was talking and laughing with the guests, and he didn't see He Li come back for a long time, so he came out of the banquet and invited Fei Yu to ask: "Why did the second son go for so long, did he really just go to the thatched house?" ”

Fei Yu did see He Li enter the thatched house, there is no doubt about it, but he hasn't come back for so long, and Fei Yu can't help but be a little worried: "My lord, my subordinates will go and take a look!" ”

Fei Yu was about to turn around and leave after speaking, but Lin Jinzhuo stopped him: "Wait......"

Lin Jinzhuo stopped talking and thought for a while: "Go and call Chu Lin and Yuelang, just in case!" ”

Now that He Li has been away for a long time, no one knows what he is doing, if he just unties, if he wants to do something, then the backyard is full of women, if something happens to them, how can Lin Jinzhuo explain to the people present?

Fei Yu didn't dare to slack off, so he bypassed Lin Jinzhuo and went to the banquet to call Chu Lin and Lin Yuelang out.
