Chapter 1 Double Ninth Festival

Late autumn, after the rain.

More than half a month has passed since Duanhe Prince’s affairs. Two days ago, a decree suddenly came from the capital. During his time in Changning Mansion, Duanhe Prince Zhang Du accepted bribes and embezzled the river funds. He returned to the capital to report and wait for the report. Since then, Duanhe Prince Zhang Du has no chance with Changning Mansion. On the surface, Zhang Du was implicated because of the flood in Jiangnan, but only a few people know the inside story. But some people don’t want to say it, and some don’t dare to say it, and the matter is blocked like this.

At this time, Chen Xiu was already well-educated. After thanking Lin Wu, he wanted to return to Jing'anzhai. How could Lin Wu let him go? On the one hand, Du Ning's explanation, and on the other hand, Lin Wu also felt that he had some connection with Shen Xiu, so he persuaded Chen Xiu to stay. Stay in his mansion and take care of his troubles. Unexpectedly, although Chen Xiu was grateful to Lin Wu, he still didn't want to live in the Lin Mansion. In the end, Lin Wu had to leave the side courtyard for Chen Xiu and told Chen Xiu that he would come to live for a while. Then both sides gave up.

During Chen Xiu's illness, Yang Xuan also came to visit him. The two seemed to have met a long time ago. With this relationship, Lin Wu's two sons were nominal disciples of Chen Xiu, it would not be surprising if Lin Wu got closer to Chen Xiu. From then on, Chen Xiu still taught in the Xijiao Caotang in Changning. Without people like Duanhe County Prince, and with Lin Wu's care, Chen Xiu's life was naturally much more stable.

Lin Nan didn't have to hide it anymore. After being stuffy for several days, he finally showed his head and took a breath of fresh air outside. Lin Nan felt so comfortable. He beat Qinglin up angrily that day, and then Lin Nan was also a little scared, not because he was afraid of what he was doing, but because he would implicate his family, especially his mother...

After this incident, Lin Nan's wildness seemed to be a little restrained. Since the matter had passed, everything would naturally return to the past. Lin Nan and Lin Zhi still got up early every day to go to school, and the days seemed to pass slowly.

Chen Xiu consciously received Lin Wu's favor, so he naturally had to repay him. Therefore, he treated all the children equally in the school on weekdays, but he still looked at Lin Nan and Lin Zhi in his spare time. Jing'an Caotang usually teaches in the morning and in the afternoon. Most of the children are children from poor people. They go to Caotang to study in the morning and in the afternoon they do some work within their ability. Lin Nan and Lin Zhi naturally don't have to work like them, so they are occasionally stayed by Chen Xiu and speak ancient words in the backyard of the Caotang.

What Yang Xuan said is not a false statement. Chen Xiuguo has his own talent. He may not be like this. However, he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He can be called it. Not only can he be well-versed in the past and the present, but he can also be easy to understand and simplify the complex. This is the talent of the teacher. Chen Xiula Linnan and the other two talked about it. They not only taught the story, but also observed the temperament and dislikes of these two students. This is how they could teach according to their aptitude and deserve the kindness of the prefect Lin.

Time flies, and it is almost Double Ninth Festival. Double Ninth Festival has always been a major festival, so Chen Xiu took the leave of children. Just as Yang Xuan came to make an appointment, Chen Xiu and Yang Xuan moved into the Lin Mansion together to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival together. As a result, Lin Nan and Lin Zhi also released sheep. Since Lin Nan returned home, he has not had much time. Now he has a legitimate holiday. In addition to talking to his mother, he has run around everywhere.

In the Lin Mansion, because there were no elders, Lin Wu and Chen were the people at home. Lin Wu was busy at the front and back of the house, so he naturally could not stare at his two sons at all times. Chen lost Lin Nan's precious son, so he naturally couldn't bear to talk about him. Seeing Lin Nan's depression in the mansion, she wanted her son to go out to relax. In this way, Lin Nan was like a fish in water, and when he was free, he left the mansion to wander around. Lin Zhi had been alone in the mansion, looking quite lonely. This time, there was an extra brother, so he was naturally happy to follow behind every day. Although he was still small, his body was quite strong and he could not lose it.

After a few days, except for the situation outside the city wall, Lin Nan was already roughly familiar with the situation in Changning City. Lin Nan had been to towns many times before, but at that time, most of them were impoverished and did something incomprehensible. Now that they could go shopping openly, there was some extra money in their hands, and they felt that they were very different. After a few days, they bought some small things, either for themselves or for their younger brother Lin Zhi, and occasionally bought some small things to give to their mother to play with. After a few days, not only did Chen's happiness, but also Lin Zhi and this brother's relationship grew day by day. After eating every day, he ran to Lin Nan's house. Qiu could not even shout...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is Double Ninth Festival. According to the traditional folk customs, the Double Ninth Festival generally has several major celebrations. Eating and drinking are naturally the eternal themes. In addition, travel and play are also important components. On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, people eat Double Ninth Festival cakes and drink chrysanthemum wine; climb high, enjoy chrysanthemums, and put paper kids. Some people also choose to brew wine on Double Ninth Festival. It is said that the chrysanthemum wine brewed at this time can relieve wind and eliminate heat, nourish the liver and improve eyesight, and eliminate inflammation and detoxify.

This is the first major festival that Lin Nan has officially celebrated after returning home, so he is particularly concerned about it.

Early in the morning of the Chongjiu, the people in the Lin Mansion started to act. Lin Wu took off his official uniform, changed into a long gown, wore a square scarf, and a light folding fan in his hand, looking like a gentleman. Yang Xuan and Shen Xiu also came out of the yard one after another, dressed like Lin Wu, both dressed in a literati, with white in the sky. Before the sunrise, everyone had already left the mansion and took a car to the suburbs one after another.

Lin Nan and Lin Zhi also got up early. Both of them were wearing new shirts with stone green satin. Because they were young, Lin Nan was still dressed up with the same hair, while Lin Zhi was combed with a pair of corners. The two followed Lin Wu and the other two and headed towards the eastern suburbs together.

Today, people in Changning City get up early, regardless of the dignitaries, scholars, merchants, or poor people, they all looked excited. Although there were people rushing in the city, people were also in constant flow on the way out of the city to the east suburbs.

Not far from the city gate, several carriages in front were parked on the side of the road. When Lin Wu's carriage passed by, a group of scholars quickly gathered around and said holiday greetings to each other. It turned out that they were colleagues from Changning Mansion. On the Double Ninth Festival, officials from Changning City also had holidays, having fun with the people, climbing up to look far.
