Chapter 66: Invitation to see the lights

"Actually, this hateful person also has pity, although Zhai Zilu is the son of the world, but I heard that his biological mother died early since he was a child, and the newly married wife of the Marquis of Guangping and the aunt in the house were bent on teaching him badly, so they let him do whatever he wanted, and he was even more unrestrained in terms of money, and developed his habit of spending money like running water, no matter how big the family business was, he couldn't withstand corruption, so he had bad intentions. Once this man's path is taught to be crooked, it will be difficult to correct him!" Lei Yingying said with a sigh.

"Yes!" Lin Shuran also replied approvingly, and at the same time, she secretly made up her mind in her heart that she must not let Xu Mingchen and them become people like Zhai Zilu, and she must work hard to teach them to be aspiring young people with three positive views and self-reliance and self-improvement.

After that, the two talked about Lei Haobai's condition, and Lei Yingying told Lin Shuran that since Mrs. Mei had given Lei Haobai the prescription given by Lin Shuran, his body had been better day by day, and he was able to get out of bed and walk two days ago, and his appetite was much better, and he ate a bowl of rice more than usual.

In addition, she also told Lin Shuran that the Qin State Mansion had apologized to the Lei family and gave a lot of gifts, but her father, Zhen Guogong, did not let the people from the Qin State Mansion enter the door, and the gifts were confiscated.

After the emperor heard about this, he severely reprimanded Qin Guogong, saying that he had no way to teach his son and did not govern the family strictly, and Qi Yang was so ruthless at a young age, he was really unworthy of being a candidate for the Qi family in the future.

It is said that drowning is like killing a child, whether it is Zhai Zilu or Qi Yang, if the Qin State Mansion does not change Qi Yang's education method, then it is difficult to guarantee that one day he will not become the next Zhai Zilu.

"Two days from now is the Lantern Festival, my mother specially explained to me today, I must invite your family to go to Dengchuan Tower to see the lanterns on that day, you can't refuse!" Lei Yingying has not spent the Lantern Festival in Beijing for three years, and she is very much looking forward to watching the lanterns this year.

Dengchuan Tower is the best place to watch the scenery of the capital in addition to the Imperial Palace Tower, and it is also an industry under the name of the Zhenguo Mansion, if there is no permission of the owner's house, outsiders are usually not allowed to enter, and it is also one of the tallest buildings in the capital.

"Okay, I won't refuse!" Lin Shuran smiled and agreed.

After Lei Yingying left, Lin Shuran informed Xu Mingchen and others of the news that they were going to Dengchuan Tower to see the lanterns on the day of the Lantern Festival.

Since ancient times, the Jin Dynasty has had the custom of giving away lanterns before the Lantern Festival, and the fifth uncle in the Grange is a master of tying lanterns, and Lin Shuran is a clever person, and he learned the skills of tying lanterns with him when he was in the Grange.

Every year, she will personally tie two of the most special lanterns for her little nephew and niece, and this year I am afraid that I will have to tie more lanterns.

"Madame, this rabbit lantern is so beautiful!" On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Shuran tied up lanterns for the children in his yard, and Chunxi and Ping'er helped her on the side.

She was very fast, and after a while, she set up a rabbit lantern, and it was also gold-trimmed, the rabbit ears were pink, and the belly was painted with red pink and beautiful flowers, which looked very well-behaved and cute. ….

"Mother, this lantern is very beautiful, but it looks like it is for a little girl, I want a lantern for a big tiger!" I heard that Lin Shuran was setting up lanterns in the courtyard, Xu Mingsong and Xu Mingsheng had come to the courtyard to wait for a long time.

There are bamboo skins, bamboo poles, hemp paper, colored paper, scissors, paints and other things that have been prepared in the yard, Lin Shuran is very skilled in the technique of tying flower lanterns, they didn't expect their mothers to have this kind of ability, one is shouting for a big tiger, and the other is shouting for a small flower cat.

Lin Shuran tied up the little rabbit, and quickly tied a lantern, looking at the shape of the lantern, the old Xu Mingsheng couldn't help but shout loudly at first: "I know, I know, this is the second brother's wolf!"

"That's right, it's a wolf, and the lantern that my mother tied seems to be!" Lao Jiu Xu Mingsong also shouted.

Next, Lin Shuran tied more than a dozen lanterns, not only the nephews and nieces of the Lin family, but also Lei Yingying's son Du Yuan and the little son of the Zhenguo Mansion Lei Haobai.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Lei Yan came to Xu's house early to find Xu Mingchen, saying that he wanted to take the Xu brothers to Dengchuan Tower to see the lanterns first.

"There are a lot of people today, don't run around, you must follow people!" Lin Shuran explained to them.

"Mother, don't worry, I will take care of my younger brothers!" Xu Mingchen assured.

Lin Shuran naturally trusted Xu Mingchen, but he glanced at Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan again uneasily, these two troublemakers couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't run around when they were so lively.

As if seeing the worry in Lin Shuran's eyes, Xu Minghao immediately reassured: "Mother, I will never run around, next to Dengchuan Tower is a restaurant and a teahouse, I called Xiaohuzi to listen to books together, don't go anywhere, and don't find anyone to fight!"

After the case was solved, Xiaohuzi was released from prison by Xiao Chen, and Lin Shuran arranged for him to be an apprentice in the fireworks kitchen.

"Mother, I'll watch Brother Qi, we promise not to cause trouble!" Xu Mingxuan couldn't help but want to go out, but he was afraid that Lin Shuran wouldn't allow them to go out.

"Mrs. Xu, don't worry, our Lei family has guards to follow, and I, Lei Yan, also promise that I won't let the younger brothers of the Xu family have an accident!" Lei Yan patted his chest and said.

"Then you go out and play, and stay safe!" Lin Shuran, who was not at ease, still admonished them again when they were about to go out.

"Got it!"

Seeing the children happily rushing out of the house, Lin Shuran also smiled with relief, and even Lao Jiu and Lao Shi went out with them.

The remaining three little Lin Shuran let them follow the nurse at home, the weather in the early spring night is still very cold, and tonight's capital is crowded, it is really not suitable for too young children to join in the fun, anyway, there are lanterns every year, and they will be brought out when they grow up.

At the agreed time with Lei Yingying, Lin Shuran got into the carriage and left the house, Xu Junze has not returned to the house for the past two days, and he doesn't know what he is busy with.

The carriage turned out of the alley and turned onto the street, there were more and more pedestrians, and the carriage curtain was opened to look out, at this time the sky was about to darken, and there were already a lot of lanterns lit up on both sides of the street, and the flashing lights showed warmth, so that Lin Shuran couldn't help but smile on his face.

Dengchuan Tower is at the intersection of the four main streets in the capital, and when he was halfway there, Lin Shuran's carriage suddenly stopped, and there were too many pedestrians in front of him, and the carriage was not easy to move forward.

A promise
