"Of course you can, as long as your friends are willing to come to our house to celebrate the Lantern Festival, you can eat and live and have fun." More people make it lively and fun, Lin Shuran also hopes that Xu Mingchen and they can make more friends, after all, as they grow older and more experienced, their social circles will also change.

Xu Minghao was very happy, he planned to invite some friends to the house on the day of the Lantern Festival, especially from the maid Ping'er, who learned that Lin Shuran had prepared a lot of delicious snacks for the Lantern Festival, so he wanted his friends to try it.

Next, Xu Mingchen and the others sent out the invitations that Lin Shuran explained, and these invitations were sent to the Taifu Mansion, the Zhenguo Mansion, the Lei Family's Second Room, the Qing Palace, the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and the Wen Family's University Scholar's Mansion, as well as the invitations to Chen Jiayu, the princess of Prince Alcohol, Mei Taiyi, and even Pei Shao and Fei Heng.

Lin Shuran also instructed Xu Junze that he could also invite his colleagues, friends or subordinates to celebrate the Lantern Festival together in the mansion, but thinking that Xu Junze had offended many people in the court in the past, it is estimated that he has no colleagues and friends.

Soon, the masters of all the mansions gave a reply, saying that they would definitely bring their families to come that day, after all, the Xu family of the Great General's Mansion had never held any banquet since the opening of the mansion.

In the next few days, the General's Mansion began to get busy, and the cooks and sisters-in-law of the southern suburbs Grange were also called to prepare for the dinner together.

The fifth uncle was not idle from morning to night, and the matter of tying the lanterns was handed over to him, what palace lanterns, dragon lanterns, yarn lanterns, lanterns, seat lamps, marquee lanterns, whether they were in the shape of birds and beasts, or other shapes, they were all hand-to-hand with him, which made everyone wonder if the fifth uncle used to sell lanterns, and he would tie too many lanterns.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Mingchen and his group of children had already gotten up before dawn, Lin Shuran said, there will be big objects in the house today, and they need their help when the time comes, so that they don't sleep lazy.

"Miss, the young masters are all waiting in the courtyard!" Lin Shuran opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside, it was just dawn, these children also got up too early, she wanted to get up Xu Junze pressed down one arm and let her sleep for a while, "The children are all awake, what else am I sleeping, you can rest for a while!" ”

Lin Shuran turned over and got out of bed, but Xu Junze stared at her resentfully, these days for tomorrow's Lantern Festival banquet, Lin Shuran is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, others are not distressed, he is very distressed, but this is what Lin Shuran is keen on in Zhang Luo, he naturally will not stop and can only order people to help her more, don't tire his wife.

It didn't take long for several carriages to arrive outside the gate of the General's Mansion, and Lin Shuran ordered someone to drive the carriage directly in, and then stopped in the open space in the front yard.

Tomorrow's Lantern Festival banquet will be held in the front yard of the General's Mansion, because Xu Junze is a person in the army, and he doesn't like any rockery pond pavilions, so the front yard has become a large open space of bluestone bricks, and there are not many flowers and plants in the courtyard, which is similar to the martial arts training ground in the army.

"Mother, what's on these carriages?" Xu Mingchen and the others also followed to the front yard, and when they saw that the carriages were covered with cloth, they couldn't see the things inside, so they stepped forward and touched them, like wood or something.

"You'll find out in a moment!" Lin Shuran smiled and asked the housekeepers in the house to help unload the things on the carriage, and it was Xiao Jin, the shopkeeper of the woodware shop that was going to open in the capital after a while, who was the son of the shopkeeper of the fireworks chef Jin, who had just passed the year of the weak crown, and was a very clever young man.

The shopkeeper Xiao Jin was holding a large piece of paper with a very strange house-like thing drawn on it, very tall and large, but not very similar, because the house seemed to be some distance from the ground.

Soon, the shopkeeper Xiao Jin took people to get busy, he asked people to move down the wooden planks and wooden strips on the carriage, and actually built a wooden house in the courtyard of the General's Mansion on the spot, and the two big boards "clicked" so together, it became a half roof shape that could not be shaken, and what was even more strange was that this wooden house had no sharp corners, and was wrapped with soft cloth strips everywhere.

"Mother, how do you let people build a house in the yard, what does this house do?" Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan were so curious that they walked around several times, but they didn't understand what this tall wooden house was for, and now those people were erecting the wooden planks outside, and the wooden planks were placed diagonally along the tall wooden houses, and there were many raised wooden blocks on them, and there was also something that looked like a slide in the middle of the wooden plank.

"This house is for you children to play with, this is called a children's entertainment castle like a wooden, and later spread a thick mat underneath, and you won't be hurt if you scratch it off from it!" Lin Shuran has been thinking about what can be for the children to play with, and she remembered the kind of bouncy castle that is common in modern times, but this is ancient times, and she can't find a suitable material, so she thought of making a wooden version first, and then doing a good job of protective measures, so that the children can play to their heart's content.

"Is it for fun?!" Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan looked at each other with their eyes wide open, their eyes were full of excitement, and the ninth Xu Mingsong and the tenth Xu Mingsheng were also excited to look at the entertainment castle that was about to be built, and they felt very interesting before they played.

Not only that, Lin Shuran also asked Xiao Jin to build two swings next to the entertainment castle, and there is a small four-seat merry-go-round that can be rotated, but when the time comes, it will depend on manpower to rotate, which is specially for little girls to play, tomorrow her niece Lin Siyu and niece Princess Jiangyue will come, compared to the activities that climbing boys are keen on, she thinks that swings and merry-go-round will be what girls like.

"It's too short!" Xu Mingye muttered on the side, this entertainment castle built by Lin Shuran is more suitable for younger children to play, like he is fourteen years old this year, and his height has surpassed Lin Shuran, he always feels that playing it is too unchallenging, but because he has never played it, he still wants to give it a try.

Although Xu Mingye said it very quietly, Lin Shuran still heard it, and she said to him with a smile: "I have specially prepared other games for a few of you older children, and after a while, the shopkeeper Xiao Jin will install them all as well." ”

Xu Mingye didn't expect Lin Shuran to think so thoughtfully, and his heart blossomed, but his face was still cool, and then he kept staring at Xiao Jin's shopkeeper, and he was curious about what Lin Shuran had prepared for them big children.

"Mother, mother, can we go up and play now?" Lin Shuran's ancient version of the wooden version of the children's entertainment castle has been fully assembled and installed, and several small ones are clamoring to go up and play.

"Okay, let's play!" Lin Shuran gave an order, and Xu Minghao was the first to rush forward.
