Mrs. Lin raised her head and saw her eldest son Lin Yunche walking over.

"Why is mother here?" Lin Yunche didn't expect to see his mother outside his sister's yard, and he was also stunned.

Then he hurriedly said greetings: "I was about to go over to greet my mother with my sister, but I didn't expect to meet her here."

Mrs. Lin smiled and helped her son up: "Brother Ce is very thoughtful. Today is a festival, so there is no need to be formal. As a mother, I am also taking a walk. When I saw the laughter and laughter here, I stopped to take a look."

While she was talking, she saw that her son was also dressed for going out, so she asked, "Brother Ce, are you getting ready to go out?"

Lin Yunce responded: "Exactly! A few days ago, Bachelor He of the Hanlin Academy sent a message to his son, inviting me to enjoy the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This person is the person my father told me to make friends with, so my son dare not neglect him."

When Mrs. Lin heard that this was the order from her husband Lin Zhihen, she frowned slightly: "Brother Ce is a military commander, and Bachelor He is a civil servant... What does your father mean by this?"

Lin Yunce smiled and said: "My son doesn't know either, but since it's his father's order, I guess there must be a deep meaning in it."

Mrs. Lin looked at her son's smile, and felt a hint of pain in her heart.

She had been Lin Zhihen's pillow for decades, and she knew exactly what he was thinking!

The Lin family was not a wealthy family. Although Lin Zhihen was the powerful Minister of the Ministry of War, he still had no weight in front of the nobles of the family.

When a person's career has no room for improvement, all he does is to strive for fame and glory for his family!

But if he fights for his own, why bother bothering their children!

Previously, under his instigation, Jiao Jiao fawned between Weiyuan Marquis and the Fourth Prince, and eventually ended up being abandoned by Weiyuan Marquis.

Now, do you even want a son...

"Brother Ce, you are older now, and you don't have to listen to your father in everything..."

Before Mrs. Lin finished speaking, she heard a clear voice: "Mother!"

At some point, Lin Jiaoyue came out of the room. She was still radiant in her dazzling red dress.Her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her eyebrows are decorated with a cluster of golden peonies.

She snuggled next to Lin Yunche and looked at Mrs. Lin coquettishly: "Mom, don't secretly say bad things about father while he's away."

After saying that, she smiled and took Lin Yunche's arm: "Brother promised to take me to see the lanterns tonight, so don't lie!"

Lin Yunce smiled and said, "Of course I won't forget it."

Mrs. Lin was surprised when she heard this: "Brother Ce, are you going to take your sister to enjoy the lanterns with Bachelor He?"

Lin Yunche nodded and said, "Jiao Jiao has been hiding in her room since she came back from Jiangnan. I was afraid that she would get bored so I allowed her to go out with her."

"No!" Mrs. Lin stopped her flatly. "If Jiao Jiao wants to go out to enjoy the lanterns, my mother will take you out after dinner. Your brother is going to meet friends and the crowd is noisy. What if he gets bumped into?"

"The child is so old, do you want to keep her under your arm for the rest of her life?" A deep male voice sounded next to her.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin looked up and saw Lin Zhihen walking over from under the shadow of the tree.

His brows were deeply furrowed and his gaze was like a falcon, which made Mrs. Lin's heart tremble.

"Are you still standing here as an eyesore? Remember to leave early and come back early, so as not to worry your mother." Lin Zhihen said coldly.

"Yes." After Lin Yunche said this, he took his sister's arm and left.

Seeing their figures disappear from sight, Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Zhihen blankly.

There is only a flower bed between them, but it seems like thousands of mountains and rivers.

She murmured: "Master, you are already the Minister of the Ministry of War. You have the highest position among the six ministries. You are the most powerful minister under one person and above ten thousand people! It is enough to support the glory of the Lin family for hundreds of years, so why do you need to How about dragging Brother Ce and Jiao Jiao into the water again?"

Lin Zhihen glanced at her and said coldly: "What do you know about women's opinions!"

"Now that there is no war and nothing to do, when will a military general like Brother Ce be promoted? Although I am one person below ten thousand people, but one day I will no longer be in the position of Minister of War? How can the glory of my Lin family matter? Isn’t it just a flash in the pan?”

"But Jiao Jiao has been ruined by you!" Mrs. Lin growled, "She could have been loved by the most noble Marquis Weiyuan in the Great Zhou Dynasty! But she was ruined by you!"

If it weren't for Lin Zhihen's secret instigation, how could Jiao Jiao abandon Marquis Weiyuan to provoke the fourth prince Naoshizi? !

"That's why she's stupid!" Lin Zhihen glared angrily.

It was a good thing that Mrs. Lin didn't mention it. When he thought of Lin Jiaoyue being deposed as the princess and being infamous, he became furious!

Whether intentionally or not, the fourth prince avoided Lin Jiaoyue after that, and a good game of chess ended in a dead end for her!

Fortunately, looking at today's trends, she hasn't given up yet.

That's fine, if she can play checkmate and survive, then she will be worthy of being the daughter he raised by Lin Zhihen.

If it fails again...

He just thinks that the rice grain he spent for more than ten years was wasted!

Thinking of this, he ignored the anger and surprise in Mrs. Lin's eyes and walked away.

……

When night falls, fireworks are set off in the capital.

The sound of firecrackers also came and went.

The streets were decorated with colorful lanterns and the crowds were so crowded that they couldn't turn around.

When I was in Xu Mansion, because the streets and alleys were remote, it was rare to see such excitement even on New Year's Eve.

Nowadays, Jianghan Street, where the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is located, is the most prosperous area in Beijing. Therefore, even in the inner courtyard of the deep house, you can still feel the excitement around it.

But there is something wrong with such colorful excitement...

The two little rabbits brought back from Zhuangzi were frightened by the sound of firecrackers and did not dare to eat. The servants of the Hou Mansion did not know what to do, so they hurriedly asked Wen Yao and Luo Shu for help.

The two girls left in a hurry, and only Xu Rongrong and Mu Rong were left in the Xinghui Hall.

Mu Rong fed Xu Rongrong a yuanxiao and persuaded her to drink a few sips of jasmine tea to relieve her tiredness.

A firework exploded in the air, and the scattered fireworks were reflected on the window paper, which was really beautiful.

Xu Rongrong sighed almost inaudibly.

"Rong Rong wants to see the fireworks?" Mu Rong knew what she was thinking at a glance.

Xu Rongrong shook his head.

Mu Rong stood up with a smile.

He took two more sable Tangpozi from the earth dragon, stuffed them into Xu Rongrong's arms, and said softly: "Hold them tight."

Then, before Xu Rongrong could react, he covered her up with the quilt and strode out of the room.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yi hurriedly ordered someone to bring a soft couch and a stove and place them in the courtyard of Xinghui Hall.

Just like that, Mu Rong held Xu Rongrong and sat under the sky full of fireworks.

"The smell of sulfur in these fireworks is very strong, and I'm afraid it's not good for your condition. We won't set off fireworks in the house this year, and we'll let you play with them next year, okay?" He buried his head in looking at her with gentle eyes.

Xu Rongrong suddenly felt less cold.

Her slightly stiff fingertips tightened around Yu Pozi in her arms, and she said thousands of words, finally converging into one sentence: "Yes."
