A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Chapter 118 New Year's Eve
In the second year of Qianqing's reign, it was the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month.

New Year's Eve, the weather is sunny.

Yangzhou Linfu.

At midnight, Lin Yao ended his daily practice at night.

I picked up the copybooks of "Yan Qinli Stele" and "Duobao Pagoda Stele" to practice calligraphy.

This is a must-have method for him to cultivate himself every day in Lin Mansion.

Even while traveling across the world, if there was nothing urgent, he would still find time to meditate for a moment.

Even though he was blessed with great fortune, he was just an ordinary person in his previous life, not the reincarnation of an immortal emperor or god king, and his state of mind could not keep up with the progress of his strength.

As Lin Yao walked faster and faster, he gradually enjoyed this slow rhythm.

Otherwise, it would be too sad to wait for him to become stronger in the future, but his state of mind cannot keep up.

Basically, it can be judged that he is like a puppet of power, a clown.

Therefore, Lin Yao must take time out every day to cultivate himself in the simplest way.

The warm light illuminates the area around the desk transparently, making it very comfortable for the eyes, without the dimness of tallow candles in this era.

Lin Yao concentrated on writing every stroke. Writing calligraphy requires talent, but writing does not require talent.

He just needs to work hard and practice hard, and write carefully and neatly, and then it will naturally be pleasing to the eyes.

If you want to get rid of the craftsmanship, you need Lin Yao's experience.

In the quiet night, the sound of pen scraping across the paper can be heard.

Occasionally, a mosquito or fly would fly outside the fine screen window, but it would be frightened away by the thunderous aura on Lin Yao's body.

Landing on the edge of the pond, the highly ornamental goldfish jumped up, swallowed it, and made a circle of water splashes.

But no one else appreciated the fish's vigorous posture.

In gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, wherever there is a pond, there must be a school of fish. The purpose of viewing is only a small part of the reason. There is also a greater purpose, which is to eat the eggs of mosquitoes and ants.

If there are no schools of fish, it means that no one can live here at all.

Ponds alone will become a source of mosquitoes and become a pool of stagnant water, just as there is no right to regulate...

But Lin Yao didn't pay attention to all this.

He wrote every stroke and every stroke with concentration, without the perfunctory way he used to write in his previous life.

When a large piece of paper was full, he stopped writing and looked at it for a while.

Feeling that he had made great progress, he nodded secretly and put it aside.

"Brother Yao..."

A jade-like figure broke into the study. Lin Yao, who was writing calligraphy, had to put down his things and turned around to hug the little person who flew up. It was Xiao Daiyu with a smile on his face.

She is accompanied by Xiang Ling and Xue Yan who are inseparable from her.

"Brother Yao, what do you think of the poem I wrote about New Year's Eve this time?"

"Good good."

Lin Yao smiled and touched Xiao Daiyu's hair, then put her on the chair next to him and took the poem the little girl had just written.

As soon as he read it, he praised: "Yu'er, your writing is much better than my brother."

"really?"

The little girl didn't believe it. In her mind, her brother was the third most powerful person, and the first and second most powerful people were her father and mother.

"Of course, how about you ask Xiang Ling and Xue Yan?"

Lin Yao chuckled fondly.

"Sister Xiangling and Sister Xueyan have read my poems before and said that I am very good."

Xiao Daiyu raised her head proudly, with a look of pride on her face.

"That's right, my Yu'er has the talent of a female poet that has been passed down through the ages."

Lin Yao tapped Daiyu's cute nose, causing her to squeal.

This charming and cute look is very endearing.He raised his little hand, clenched it into a fist and waved it in the air, deterring Lin Yao from grabbing him.

"Yeah, I'm not a child anymore. If I become famous in the future, I will definitely tell others that I have a stupid brother."

Xiao Daiyu's eyes moved, she stuck out her tongue playfully, and said "threatening".

"Ha ha ha ha."

Lin Yao couldn't stop laughing and teasing Xiao Daiyu.

"If you have a stupid sister, you will have a stupid brother."

"No, only a stupid brother can have a stupid sister."

Xiao Daiyu thought for a moment, and the logic came back to her. Her face was flushed with being scratched, and her green-white hands patted Lin Yao's arm.

"That's not right, Yu'er is not stupid."

Xiang Ling and Xue Yan on the side couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

While they were fighting, someone came in from outside.

It was Jia Min who sent someone to ask them to go out to help. On New Year's Eve, they have to work together to have the happiness of participating.

……

In the Lin Mansion, more than a dozen people including the master and servants were all smiling and celebrating the New Year's Eve in a lively manner.

Daiyu, Xiangling, and Xueyan, the three youngest girls in the Lin family, are full of energy in such lively days, and their playful laughter is everywhere.

Although Jia Min's body has not fully recovered, she is still in good spirits and is enjoying herself with everyone inside and outside.

Red candles were lit in the inner and outer halls of the Lin Mansion, and the lights were brightly lit. The newly posted window grilles were reflected in red and golden colors, which was very festive.

These window grilles were cut out by Xiaodaiyu, Xiangling and Xueyan using gold and silver foil and colored paper in the afternoon.

There are "flowers blooming for wealth", "peacocks in full bloom", "magpies climbing branches", "red plum blossoms heralding spring" and "two dragons playing with pearls", all of which are colorful and lifelike.

Under the eaves, the five auspicious glazed palace lanterns were hung on the corridors, peach charms were posted on the entrance hall, and the bamboos were also tied with bright red silk, which meant good luck.

The Eight Immortals table in the outer hall is filled with dishes of various dried and fresh fruits, assorted side dishes, and a pot of pear blossom wine, ready for everyone to drink and have fun at night.

When it gets dark, the sky is full of stars shining brightly.Everyone sat down at the table, and everyone in the Lin family was having fun together.

After dinner, Lin Yao took out the fireworks he carefully prepared from the storage space.

The Black Shadow Corps was assigned to set off fireworks in an open field a little away from Lin's mansion, waiting for his order.

The three Daiyu little ones, who had already learned about the surprise from Lin Yao, immediately ran to the inner courtyard and looked up at the sky. After a while, many fireworks bloomed in the dark night.

The sky is blooming with beautiful "smiling faces" welcoming the Spring Festival. They turn the sky into a beautiful painting.

Fireworks decorated the sky beautifully and decorated the starry night sky with beautiful patterns.

These fireworks were customized by Lin Yao, pursuing three words: big, beautiful and bright.

There are several very distinctive fireworks.

Shape, volume, size and lavender blend beautifully to form a beautiful Phalaenopsis, elegant and refined.

Some are golden in color when they bloom in the sky, shining like the afternoon sun.

When the fireworks bloomed, they turned into a light pink, as red as the evening sunset, but there was a dazzling "star" above the head.

Standing next to this fireworks, you will see meteors falling from the sky. People who don't know it think they are real meteors.

Look at the firework again. The firework is star-shaped. It blooms happily in the air. The beautiful golden color only lasts for three seconds in the air and then slowly disappears, explaining its short life.

Xiao Daiyu was mesmerized, holding Lin Yao's arm and quietly admiring the beautiful fireworks under the moonlit night sky.

Standing behind the two of them were Xiang Ling and Xue Yan, who were also watching the fireworks with intoxicated expressions.

Not far away, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min stood together, looking at Lin Yao and Daiyu with loving faces.

Fireworks form beautiful pictures in the sky, and the Lin Mansion under the night sky is also a warm picture.

The two complement each other, symbolizing that the old year has passed with the passage of time, and the new year is approaching quietly.
