A week later, there will be a Weihe Lantern Festival.

The Weihe Lantern Festival is a traditional event in Jixian County, and there will be literati, young ladies, celebrities, and dignitaries to participate.

It's not as rigorous as the little one's review, it's more like a carnival of the people of the county.

Judging from the lantern festivals of previous years, there will be countless novelties at this banquet.

Or poems, or articles, or lantern riddles, or lantern lanterns, every move of the people of Jixian County, who is different, can win a good reputation.

The literati participated, begging their articles to be praised.

Qing Qi participated, seeking the name of the leader.

The ladies participated, looking for talents.

Hawkers participate, begging for their own goods to sell well.

And this year's lantern festival has more meaning to celebrate the victory of the Tang army, and it is more grand than in previous years.

Youzhou Mansion issued a document that the lantern procurement and arrangement of this year's Weihe Lantern Festival was funded by the imperial court, and the imperial court put grain on the lantern festival, and the people of Jixian County could get a bag of rice.

As soon as the news came out, the whole county was excited, and everyone prepared for the lantern festival in advance.

The lights outside will be boiling, and Bai Song is still at home watching the invited workers clean up the house.

Time flashed, and it was nearly a week before the move.

The entire White Mansion has reached the final stage of cleaning, and the originally messy mansion finally has the appearance it should have.

Before the lantern festival began, Bai Song not only had to be busy cleaning up, but also had to deal with the upcoming Lin family.

The matter had to be provoked by Xiang'er, who said early that he would buy a new house and ask his parents to come to Jixian County to have a look.

The Lin family was silent for a long time, and the daughter's new house was particularly heroic, and it couldn't bear to reach the ears of the clan relatives for a while, causing envy.

After some discussion, Xiang'er simply invited the uncles of the Lin family to be guests.

Anyway, according to common etiquette, moving to a new home is a treat.

Bai Song didn't want to engage in these mundane etiquette, but Xiang'er opened her mouth, so she could only do it.

Now that the Lin family is here, I would like to invite friends from other places.

So after coming and going, Bai Song prepared to hold a banquet at home.

Seeing that the banquet was running out, the house was still cleaning up, and there was no preparation at all.

Bai Song was anxious, and people were also very busy.

Niu Da and his brothers have been purchasing ingredients in the Baisong Mansion in recent days, and the daughter-in-law is also responsible for purchasing some furniture, tables and chairs.

Xiang'er took Xiaocui to send invitations everywhere.

Sangsang went back to Pixian County to pick up his parents with joy.

The days are busy, but the life is getting more and more personal, and Bai Song is also very fulfilling.

Bai Song was looking at the courtyard at the door of his house, and at this moment, the Chen Mansion on the opposite side opened the door.

A well-dressed middle-aged man walked inside, with a solemn face, a bit of heroism, and a steady step, walking straight towards Bai Song.

After a few days of face-to-face neighbors with the Chen family, Bai Song saw this person for the first time, and on weekdays, there were some people coming in and out, this middle-aged man looked extraordinary, wasn't he the head of the Chen family?

Bai Song has been in this era for a long time, and he has not changed anything in this era, but has been changed by the sophistication of this era.

Unconsciously put away the previous edge, and became more important to keep the original decency.

Seeing the other party coming, Bai Song changed his smile and arched his hand towards the other party from a distance.

The middle-aged man didn't rush to respond, and when he arrived in front of Bai Song, he gestured with the same smile.

"This is Bai Song Bai Gongzi, right?"

"Exactly, I don't know if Mr. ......"

"Under Chen Fan, he is the head of the Chen family."

"Long admiration, long admiration, long admiration ......"

Bai Song said calmly, still a little surprised in his heart.

I just sent an invitation to the Chen family yesterday, and I don't know what the other party's attitude is.

Now that the head of the Chen family has come forward, I wonder if he knows about the festival between him and his son and his daughter?

In Bai Song's mind, no matter how forbearant this person is, he won't have too much good face when facing himself, right?

But now, the other party doesn't have any displeasure, and I can't see what the other party is thinking.

When the two met, the head of the Chen family first looked Bai Song up and down for a while, and finally praised: "Sure enough, it's a hero out of a young man!" ”

Bai Song didn't answer, and directly changed the topic: "Master Chen, have you received the invitation?" ”

"Roger."

"What does the head of the Chen family mean ......"

"Don't worry, Chen will come out on time! Bai Gongzi sits in the first mansion of Youzhou, and such a prestigious banquet for the Chen family is to look up to Chen, how can Chen not appreciate his face? ”

"Thank you."

"Bai Gongzi doesn't have to doubt that Chen was no longer in Youzhou a few days ago, and when he came back today, he heard about some things. Chen was curious in his heart, I don't know what kind of young talent Bai Gongzi is, so capable? I saw it today, Bai Gongzi really deserves his reputation, and his temperament has long surpassed his peers in Youzhou. ”

Bai Song responded with a polite smile, not understanding what it meant for the dignified head of the Chen family to come to blow a rainbow fart.

Just thinking about it, Chen Fan took out an invitation.

Bai Song looked at it and asked, "This is?" ”

"Today, I made a special trip to invite Bai Gongzi to participate in the Weihe Lantern Festival in the Xiaoman season, Chen prepared a thin wine on the Weihe River Toucai Flower Boat, and there will be the heads of major families in Youzhou to participate, and I implore Bai Gongzi to appreciate his face."

Bai Song's face was shocked, the weight of this invitation was much heavier than his own family banquet.

The Weihe Lantern Festival has long been spread in the city, and Bai Song is definitely going to join in the fun.

This number one flower boat has always been used by the major families in Youzhou to contract gatherings, and it is a symbol of status, and it also provides an opportunity for the major families to talk secretly and communicate with each other.

Ordinary literati, no matter how famous, are not qualified to enter.

Now the head of the Chen family actually put such an invitation in front of Bai Song, which is equivalent to giving Bai Song a ticket to the secret power field of Youzhou.

Bai Song is less than twenty years old, and there is no precedent in history.

It seems that this Chen Fan not only recognized Bai Song's ability, but also knew about the recent friction between him and his daughter.

The other party did not come to exacerbate the conflict, but put on such a humble attitude.

Seeing each other on this side, Bai Song felt that the other party was worthy of being the head of the family, and the pattern was far from being comparable to that little girl.

Looking at the invitation, Bai Song happily accepted.

Now that he has a new house and has taken root in Jixian County, he wants to live a good life in Youzhou.

Bai Song didn't want to continue to make enemies, although he didn't like the pattern of interconnection between the scholars and the closing of the entry of the bottom forces, but he also had to admit that if he wanted to weaken the influence of the scholars, only time could change, even if he had unknown experiences, he couldn't change the current situation.

Since it can't be changed, it is not impossible to join directly for the sake of stability, at least now there is an opportunity in front of you.

It is best to get the support of some scholars when joining the scholars, at least to reduce the pressure on Shu Wang to marry in the future.

Bai Song accepted the invitation and said goodbye to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan returned to his house, closed the door and walked a few steps, and walked out of his daughter through the corridor in the backyard.

Chen Xirong showed a look of disgrief, walked quickly to his father, and first asked suspiciously: "Daddy, where did you just go?" ”

Chen Fan smiled and said casually: "It's just to go out for a walk." ”

"Did Daddy go to the other side?"

Chen Fan frowned slightly, he didn't expect the news of his family to reach his daughter's ears so quickly.

It's also a shame that this is his own daughter, and if he is a son, Chen Fan is already a little precarious.

The daughter is capable, but she also has a strong temperament, and she has been haunted by the conflict with Bai Song recently.

Chen Fan knew that the Chen family had lost nearly 10,000 taels of silver, and he was also angry.

But as the head of the family, he knows that the only way to resolve anger is revenge.

But this truth obviously doesn't make sense with his daughter.

"It's a pity, the lost silver can be slowly recovered, and it's not a big deal. It's a big deal that in the future, you can save some money on your family's expenses. ”

"Daddy, why should our Chen family be afraid of him? Even if we buy a mansion, it's just a cold door, how can our Chen family bow down to a cold family? ”

Seeing the resolute expression on his daughter's face, Chen Fan knew that it was useless to say more, and said seriously: "Okay, don't meddle in this matter!" Don't go to contact Bai Song recently, and you don't have to go to the banquet in Baifu. ”

……

A convoy entered from the west gate of Jixian County, and stopped in front of the former Mingchun Garden several times.

Looking at the newly hung plaque of Baifu in the courtyard, more than a dozen people in the car seemed to be in a trance.

"Oh my God, that's too magnificent, isn't it? It is more than twice as big as the Lin family's mansion. ”

Lin Xun lifted the curtain in the car, and when he saw the door of his brother-in-law's house, his face changed in fright.

Then he hurriedly went to help the lady in the car, "Madam, take a look, I just said that my brother-in-law is not an ordinary person, you always said that you didn't believe it in the past, but now it seems that what I said is right?" ”

The bride Qin was upset when she heard this, and she only hated that this little minister didn't know face, and only talked about the good of others in front of everyone, and forgot to lose her own face.

There are more than ten people in the Lin family, and I am afraid that except for the two family owners and their husbands, who are proud of this, everyone else has a somewhat sour taste in their hearts.

Who would have thought that the most unfavored son-in-law would turn into the first mansion in Youzhou, and many of them, who succumbed to the county, had never seen the courtyard of this building in their lives.

It's all emotional.

Seeing that Lin Xun looked like he had never seen the world, the Qin family couldn't wait to kick him out of the carriage.

But when he poked his head out and saw the openness and magnificence of the Baifu courtyard, the sour taste in his heart disappeared, and all that was left was shock and emotion.

It's so magnificent, so magnificent, that most people forget about jealousy, and the scholars in the small county town are also eye-opening, this is a palace that they can't even dream of.

Qin Shi was shocked, and after getting out of the car, he looked at it in a daze like everyone else, without any movement.

There are more than ten uncles, uncles and nephews of the Lin family, standing neatly at the door, like a group of hillbillies.

At this time, the door of Baifu opened, and the young lady who belonged to the Lin family was now the lady of Baifu, the master mother of the big palace in front of her.

But I didn't see it for a month, and when I looked at this familiar fragrance again, it was like a world away.

Look at the people wearing gold and silver on their heads, they are extravagant, and they are full of celebrity demeanor between their gestures, smiling and welcoming people, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Uncles, please come inside, the husband will go out, and he will only return when he is young, and Xiang'er will receive you on his behalf."
