Chapter 485
In a blink of an eye, it was the last mid-autumn festival for Lin Wan and Lin Jing in Zhennan Marquis. It was also a rare Zhongqiu Festival for Lin Wan to truly reunite since she returned to Zhennan Marquis’s mansion. Because Lin Wenjie and Lin Hongyun, who have always been patrolling in Xidaying and patrolling the city, had a rare holiday and appeared at the Zhongqiu reunion banquet at the same time.
A big red lantern was lit in front of the gate of Zhennan Hou Mansion, and various exquisite lanterns were hung in the mansion.
Because the weather is clear and it is the lukewarm season, Cai spoke to open the reunion banquet in the garden in the backyard.
Looking at the reunion and joyful scene in front of you, listening to the lively laughter of your children and grandchildren, smelling the fragrance of osmanthus floating around in the wind, and savoring the bright red and mellow grape wine in your cup, Cai couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, but his heart was still a little sour. Although there will be countless reunion banquets in the Zhennan Hou Mansion in the future, with Lin Wan and Lin Jing, the adult granddaughters who have grown up have married and married women, even if there are many reunion banquets in Cai's heart, it will be different.
Cai sighed quietly in his heart and looked at Lin Xiuwu, who was sitting next to him and laughing as a chrysanthemum.
The handsome wife was already full of wrinkles on her face and her hair and beard were more than half white. Cai's mood suddenly became even more depressed.
The old man is 68 years old this year, and she is only one year younger than the old man. She is almost 70 years old. I don’t know if she has the chance to see a few such reunion in her lifetime.
Lin Wan was so entangled by Lin Jing's sister that she drank two small glasses of wine for the first time.
Lin Wan knew that although her alcohol content was not particularly good, she still had a little bit of it compared to other sisters in the house. She naturally couldn't get drunk with her two small glasses of wine.
But in the past, no matter what banquet he attended, even if Lin Wan would follow everyone’s wish, she would just stop trying it. The impression she gave everyone was that Lin Wan was not good at drinking and had a very shallow alcohol tolerance.
Today is the last Mid-Autumn Festival that Lin Wan had at Zhennan Hou Mansion before getting married. With Lin Wan's understanding of Cai, Cai must not be in a good mood, so she wanted to spend more time with Cai, so she naturally didn't plan to get entangled with her sisters, so she simply drank two drinks in a row. In the face of her sister's surprise gaze, Dongyue helped her sit next to Cai by pretending to be dizzy.
Cai's eyes almost never left Lin Wan, so she naturally saw Lin Wan drinking two glasses of wine easily under the cheers of several girls. However, she knew that Lin Wan had some alcohol tolerance and was not worried that Lin Wan would get drunk. This was also what she saw, but she still let Lin Jing take several girls to pester Lin Wan to drink.
Although Lin Wan's real alcohol tolerance is not bad, there is one characteristic, that is, she will get drunk after drinking, which is why Lin Wan rarely drinks.
Now, Lin Wan's face, sitting next to Cai, had a thin layer of red glow, and her bright eyes were even clearer.
Cai, who knew Lin Wan's alcoholism, was not worried that Lin Wan would be drunk, but she was still a little worried. After all, she had never seen Lin Wan drink two drinks like today. So she held Lin Wan's little hand in her palm and patted her gently, but said angrily: "You kid is too honest. Do you want to drink if they coax you to drink? You have two drinks in a row! You're uncomfortable!"
"Don't worry, grandma, Wanwan is fine!" Lin Wan leaned her head against Cai's shoulder, rubbing her little face against Cai's body, making Cai's heart melt.
"You!" Even if there was so much worry in Gong Cai's heart, it disappeared in this sigh.
Just leaning on Cai and talking to Cai, occasionally pouring half a glass of wine for Lin Xiuwu, would not make the wine glass in front of Lin Xiuwu empty, nor would it try to control Lin Xiuwu's drinking amount.
Lin Xiu has been practicing martial arts for many years and has a good alcohol tolerance. His favorite is to eat meat and drink big bowls. However, this hobby is hard to satisfy as he grows older. It is considered the biggest concession of the doctors in the government to take a sip from time to time today.
"It's another half cup, Wanwan, can't you pour more?" When Lin Wan added half a cup of wine for Lin Xiuwu again, Lin Xiuwu looked at Lin Wan with some dissatisfaction.
Lin Wan smiled and shook her head: "Wanwan asked her grandfather, is she planning to only watch others drink it after she has enough time today, or will she just taste it and continue the day after tomorrow?"
"You old man, you look more and more like a child! Wanwan is for your own good. Do you don't know what a long way to go when you are old?" Cai raised his eyebrows and stared at Lin Xiu's martial arts.
Lin Xiuwu sighed and said, forget it, some drinks are better than watching others drink. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and wanted to drink it all, but he changed it to a sip of Cai's slight cough.
Lin Wan couldn't help but smile and then lowered her head. She couldn't let her grandfather see it, so as not to hurt the old child's face and make him unable to get out of the stage.
"By the way, Wanwan, news came from the carpenter's shop, saying that all the furniture had been made and brushed with tung oil three times as you asked. Grandma will accompany you to see it tomorrow. It will be more than half a month before getting married. If you have anything to be dissatisfied, you still have time to let them rework it." Cai suddenly remembered the news from the carpenter's shop in the afternoon and looked at Lin Wan.
Lin Wan thought about it and nodded.
The furniture that Cai mentioned is the highlight of Lin Wan's dowry, and the wood used is almost all the best rosewood that was saved more than ten years ago.
Before the wedding date was confirmed, this set of furniture was handed over to the most famous carpenter shop in Beijing for creation. This set of furniture also took Lin Wan a lot of thought. Not only did he go to the Ye family to see the new house prepared by the Ye family, but he also had a detailed discussion with Ye Shen. Then he asked Ye Zhan to design according to the results of their discussion, which naturally resulted in many modern furniture elements.
When the carpenter shop first received this business, it was both shocked and headache.
This is the first time that carpenters have seen such furniture. Fortunately, the design drawings drawn by Ye Zhan are marked very carefully, and the instructions written by Ye Shen are also written in detail. Lin Wan occasionally goes to the carpenter shop to see them personally. In short, this set of furniture takes a lot of effort from the carpenter shop carpenters.
According to the carpenters' wishes, they originally wanted to apply varnish to the furniture, but Lin Wan did not plan to apply varnish and insisted on using tung oil to brush it three times inside and outside.
Lin Wan originally planned to take some time to go to the carpenter shop in the past few days to check the situation. After all, furniture is one of the highlights of dowry, and you must move into a new house and arrange it properly before getting married.
Although there are people watching this area in Zhennan Hou Mansion, Ye Shen will turn around and check it out almost every day when he goes to the yamen. Lin Wan will occasionally go to the carpenter shop to check it out. If there is any problem, it should have been solved long ago.
However, both Cai and Lin Wan thought that they should go and check it out again. If there is no problem, the new house can be decorated.
