After checking into the Tongzhou Inn, Lin Xi and Shen Chen only needed a room. After packing, Lin Xi called the waiter.

She gave the waiter a little silver and said, "Waiter, do you know where the lantern festival will be held?"

The waiter was very happy after receiving the broken silver, and immediately replied: "Of course I know. This lantern festival is the most famous festival in our Jinling City. It is organized by the local chamber of commerce. It is stipulated that all adult men can participate. Even those who cannot go out.

Rich ladies can also go out and play on this day, and no one will say anything to them. Therefore, the Lantern Festival is very popular in Jinling."

"The entire lantern festival has three contents. The first is the lantern festival held in the south of the city. After participating in the lantern festival, you can go to Gaohe Tower to see the poetry gathering held there. There are many literary talents there; the third is the lantern festival located on the moat.

At the oiran banquet, it is said that the new oiran of Yinggefang can appear, and whoever wins at the Gaohe Tower can meet the new oiran alone and win the first night!"

The waiter in the shop became more and more excited as he talked, and his expression was intoxicated, as if he could already imagine how beautiful the courtesan was.

The more Lin Xi listened, the blanker his expression became.

How is this different from the drinking party entertainment of later generations?

The waiter at the shop didn't notice Lin Xi's expression, and continued excitedly: "Guest, you don't know that the last courtesan was the most beautiful woman in our Jinling city, and how many people spent a lot of money to meet her! But the people from Yinggefang

It is said that this oiran is even better than the previous ones, and he is proficient in music and rhythm, and is very good at poetry and poetry..."

Suddenly, the waiter felt a chill behind him.

He accidentally glanced and saw Shen Chen, who had made the bed, turning around and looking at him expressionlessly.

The waiter shut up after realizing it and said with a dry smile: "Guest, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Lin Xi waved his hand in disinterest, "No, you can go down and remember to bring the food I asked for."

"yes!"

The waiter agreed and left quickly.

Lin Xi sat down and said, "Shen Chen, what do the people at the Jinling Chamber of Commerce think? Can I really find business opportunities at this Lantern Festival?"

Shen Chen came over and sat next to Lin Xi and said, "Just watch the lantern festival."

Lin Xi looked at Shen Chen and asked, "What about Gaohe Tower?"

Shen Chen frowned: "There is nowhere to go."

Lin Xi suddenly had a bad taste and asked Shen Chen: "But the waiter said that the winner of the poetry competition at Gaohe Tower can meet the oiran. Don't you want to meet him?"

Shen Chen was confused: "I already have a family, why do I need to see the oiran?"

Lin Xi let out a long sigh: "You mean, you would go there if you didn't have a family. It seems that you had to go to places like Yinggefang in the past."

"..." Shen Chen explained: "I have never been there."

"real?"

"real."

Seeing that Lin Xi's eyes were still questioning, Shen Chen swore: "If my husband lies to you, I will let the heavens strike with five thunders, and nothing will happen in the future..."

Lin Xi quickly covered his mouth: "Okay, okay, I believe it. Isn't that enough if I believe it? Such words are unlucky, don't say them nonsense."

Shen Chen, however, was still a little reluctant: "What does it mean to believe it but not yet? Do you think I am a random person?"

Lin Xi couldn't help laughing: "That's impossible to say."

Shen Chen stared at Lin Xi, probably finally realizing that Lin Xi was doing it on purpose, and suddenly pulled her into his arms, grabbed her chin and kissed her.

Lin Xi couldn't reach her in time, and Shen Chen's kiss came again fiercely, too strong to refuse, and he bit her with a hint of punishment.

Lin Xi quickly fell into his arms, pushed him weakly, and stared at him with a look that seemed both angry and coquettish.

"It's too much for you to bully me just because you can't speak up to me."

Shen Chen pinched her neck with one hand, his lowered eyelashes covered the richness under his eyes, and asked quite keenly: "Do you want to go?"

Lin Xi shrank his neck: "Gaohelou... meeting friends with poems sounds quite interesting."

Shen Chen said: "There are mostly literary talents there, but few businessmen."

Lin Xi argued: "But it was also funded by the Chamber of Commerce, and people from the Chamber of Commerce must be there."

Shen Chen's eyes were dark and he exposed her: "But what you want to go to most is Yinggefang. You want to try to win the poetry competition and meet the oiran."

Lin Xi's eyes rolled: "That's the oiran! Aren't you curious?"

Shen Chen didn't hesitate and said coldly, "I'm not curious."

Lin Xi put her hands on his neck and whispered in his ear: "But there must be many businessmen going to Yinggefang, right?"

Shen Chen felt a headache: "Yinggefang is not a good place, you are not allowed to go."

Lin Xixin said, you didn't ask me to go, but I still went.

At this time, Lin Xi would not be stupid enough to confront Shen Chen. He responded perfunctorily and waited for the waiter to deliver lunch.

Lin Xi immediately pushed Shen Chen aside and opened the door. He hummed a tune and brought lunch in for Shen Chen to eat.

Shen Chen looked at her and took a deep breath.

Lin Xi buried his head and pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "I think the chef in this inn is doing a good job, please try it quickly."

Shen Chen’s helpless past.

In the afternoon, Yi Huaijin came.

He looked uglier than in the morning, looked less energetic, and seemed to have lost a lot of weight overnight.

Lin Xi asked clearly: "Did the doctor confirm it?"

Yi Huaijin nodded with difficulty. He couldn't hold back his anger and slapped the table angrily.

Noticing that Shen Chen was looking over, he explained: "Aunt Lin, I'm not targeting you, it's just..."

"I understand, if something like this happened to my grandmother, I would be so angry that I would kill her. What is the situation in your family now?" Lin Xi asked with concern.

Yi Huaijin sat down and said seriously: "My grandmother woke up for a while at noon. I didn't want her to worry about it, but Grandma Chang told her grandmother first. Grandma sent someone to repair the book for her father and ordered him to come back as soon as possible. And Wang there……"

He looked cold, "Grandma asked Aunt Chang to find Wang. She said she wanted Wang to go to the temple outside the city to offer incense and pray for grandma for a few days. Now she has been sent there by force, without giving Wang any time. Arrange your own personal servant."

"Are these decisions made by the old lady in such a short period of time?" Lin Xi asked.

Yi Huaijin nodded tiredly and ashamed.

Grandma is old, but she still worries about these things. It is because her grandson is not capable enough, and he will definitely have to take on more things in the future.

Lin Xi sighed with emotion, this old lady is indeed a person.

Wang went there in such a hurry that he didn't have time to react. He didn't bring any confidants with him, and he was under the supervision of people from the Yi family. At least he couldn't do anything for a few days. The people in the family could still spare time and energy to look for evidence.

Lin Xi asked: "How is the old lady doing now?"

Yi Huaijin looked worried: "The two doctors we hired are both very good, but they said that my grandmother's health has been exhausted. Now she only stopped taking the original medicine and prescribed new medicine to support her health. There is no other way."

After finishing his words, Yi Huaijin suddenly stood up and held his hands towards Lin Xi.
