Chapter 62 Lantern Festival One
With the case concluded like this, Chen Zhiyuan will definitely try his best to spread rumors and stir up trouble, and he will have to tear things up in the future.
Although it's not perfect, it's finally come to an end.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Da and others rushed back from Linyang City one after another.
As soon as he saw Zhao Da, Wang Xiaoqi couldn't wait to tell everything that happened years ago.
Zhao Da, Li Xin and others listened to it as if they were listening to a book, and they were hooked.
Especially when it comes to the two times Liu Mo angrily criticized the Rongcheng County Prince in court, Zhao Da and others applauded him repeatedly.
Several people only regretted that they were not there at the time and missed such a wonderful "show"!
After sharing the happy things, things that gave Liu Mo a headache also appeared.
My brother-in-law's marriage must be finalized within the first month.
Xiang Wu was born into a humble family, and now he has a broken leg. Although the injury was cured, he is still left with a lifelong disability.
To be honest, it is extremely difficult to get a wife under such conditions.
This brother-in-law was tortured in prison, but he had no intention of betraying Liu Mo.
They were so affectionate and affectionate that Liu Mo would do anything to help him get married.
However, it was Lin Shiqi who finally solved the matter, and Yuan'er who assisted.
Liu Mo's third wife always looked down on Xin'er, who was born as a "room girl", and would talk about it from time to time.
Lin Shiqi usually disciplined her a lot, but it was the word "room girl" that reminded her.
An ordinary girl would look down on Xiang Wu, but what if she was a "room girl" like his sister?
How many children of wealthy families in the Great Xia Dynasty would be responsible for the "girls who accompany them"?
Choose to make a living in the land of fireworks, or marry Xiang Wu.
Although he has some physical disabilities, he is the brother-in-law of the "star" Liu Mo after all. With him, he can always guarantee food and clothing.
As long as you are not stupid, you will basically choose the latter.
Xiang Wu's temperament is similar to Xin'er's, so he quickly agreed.
Therefore, Liu Mo began to use his connections to arrange marriage arrangements for Xiang Wu in Rongcheng.
I have to say that being a "star" has many benefits.
As soon as the news got out, the matchmaking turned directly into the "If You Are the One Guys" version, with all kinds of "daughter-in-laws" for him to choose from.
Such an unexpected surprise made Xiang Wu uncomfortable. The multiple-choice questions were too difficult!
Seeing this, Liu Mo even joked, "Children make choices, I want them all!"
In the end, the wife Xiang Wu chose was a roommate introduced by the boss of "Jun Mo Ting" in the east of the city.
Liu Mo originally offered to arrange a marriage for him, but Xiang Wu refused.
The main reason is that Xiang Wu feels that he has no money. Although he is poor, as a man, he must have backbone and cannot always use his brother-in-law's money.
For this reason, Liu Mo gave a suggestion to arrange the wedding in advance and wait until later.
So, they simply set up a table of wine in the "Jingshui Pavilion", everyone sent their blessings, and they were officially married.
This marriage came to an end, and Liu Mo felt relieved.
It’s the ninth day of the first lunar month, and there are still six days left before the Lantern Festival.
Things in Rongcheng were almost arranged, so Liu Mo planned to return to Linyang City.
After all, he is the son-in-law!
Logically speaking, New Year should be spent at Lin's house.
At the same time, there are more important things that need to be discussed with the old lady when we go back.
After taking over the burden of the "salt tax", he needed to build a salt field as soon as possible.
Such a large project requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. As a son-in-law, naturally he has to report to the real "head of the family" of the Lin family!
After packing up his belongings, Liu Mo took only Lin Shiqi and Zhao Da with him and set out on his way home.
Xin'er is pregnant and it is not suitable for traveling and traveling. The main reason for not taking Yuan'er with her is that it is inconvenient.
It is outrageous for a son-in-law who has been married for less than half a year to return to the Lin family with his concubine.

The journey was relatively peaceful, and four days later, the three of them returned to Linyang.
The Lantern Festival, one of the traditional festivals in China, also known as the Lantern Festival, the Lantern Festival or the Reunion Festival, takes place on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year.
According to general information and folklore, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has been valued in the Western Han Dynasty.
In the Xia Dynasty, the Lantern Festival can be said to be a more lively festival than New Year's Eve.
For those who are in a foreign land, if there is nothing special to do during the Lantern Festival, they must go home for reunion.
For this reason, Mrs. Zhou's other two sons came to Linyang City with their eldest son, eldest daughter-in-law, and first wife.
Thinking of this, Liu Mo couldn't help but frown.
Why? Our identity is the son-in-law!
Moreover, he is also the son-in-law who will most likely inherit Lin Yuan’s real estate business!
To put it harshly, on the surface they are uncles, third uncles, and cousins! Behind the scenes, these are all future enemies!
The apparent peace that is still maintained at present is also based on the fact that Mrs. Zhou is still alive.
If she drives Hexi to the west, with Lin Yuan's ability...
Lin Shiqi is not a stupid person, she can clean up the accounts of "Jingshui Pavilion".
Data analysis and business analysis capabilities are also outstanding.
But the problem is...character!
To put it simply, she is a typical lady of ancient times, and the concept of three obediences and four virtues has been deeply ingrained.
In addition, because of my "big feet", I have been looked down upon by others since I was a child, and I am sensitive and have low self-esteem.
Let a "good girl" like her fight against the likes of Li Guangrun?
Isn’t this an international joke?
Therefore, since I "married" Lin Shiqi, I, Liu Mo, have to face all this!
On the evening of the Lantern Festival, firecrackers went off continuously and the lights were like dragons.
According to the practice of the Great Xia Dynasty, lanterns would be lit in the city on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, lanterns would be lit for a total of five days, with dragon and lion dances in the city and sleepless nights.
In this lively atmosphere, the sky gradually fell into night. The banquet hall was steaming with heat and filled with the fragrance of delicious food.
The old lady and her three sons sat at the main table, and Liu Mo obeyed the old lady's arrangement this time and sat with Lin Yi, Lin Zhe and other men of the same generation in the Lin family.
Because of the fried chicken and milk tea formula presented by Liu Mo last time, brothers Lin Yi and Lin Zhe made a lot of money.
At this banquet, words of thanks are inevitable.
One glass after another, although the wine was good, Liu Mo missed the days of drinking with Zhao Da and others.
In the middle of the dinner, a group of Zilin family members began to come forward one by one to propose a toast to the old lady.
When it was the turn of Liu Mo and his wife, he walked up to them and realized that Mrs. Zhou's complexion was not as good as before.
The whites of her eyes became cloudy, her face dull, and she kept smiling with a hint of tiredness.
"Old lady..." Liu Mo picked up the wine glass and said, "My grandson, here's a toast to you."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Mrs. Zhou drank it all in one gulp, and then said something like "You will support each other in the future."
After the toasts, the dinner gradually came to an end. Since it is the Lantern Festival, it is natural to watch the lanterns and guess lantern riddles.
The torches and lanterns were lit, and the old lady led everyone in the Lin family into the garden.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The salute sounded first.
Then little bits of colorful light continue to bloom in the night sky, and then disappear. These are gorgeous fireworks, eye-catching and making people cheer.
The servants lit thousands of lanterns and the Lantern Festival program officially began.
However, at this moment, Mrs. Zhou's eldest son, Lin X, suddenly said: "Niece-in-law, I heard that you once won the first place in the Poetry Society. Given this situation, how about writing a poem first?"
