Chapter 211 Entertainment Castle
"Of course, as long as your friends are willing to come to our house to celebrate the Lantern Festival, you can eat, live, and have fun." Lin Shuran also hopes that Xu Mingchen and the others can make more friends. With the growth of experience, the social circle will also change.

Xu Minghao was very happy. He planned to invite more friends to the mansion on the Lantern Festival. Especially after learning from the maid Ping'er that Lin Shuran had prepared a lot of delicious snacks for the Lantern Festival, he wanted to let his friends even more. Friends come to have a taste.

Next, Xu Mingchen and the others respectively sent out the invitations that Lin Shuran explained. These invitations were sent to Taifu Mansion, Zhen Guogong Mansion, Lei Family Second Household, Prince Qing Mansion, Marquis Wu'an Mansion, University Scholars Mansion, and some alone. Invitations to Prince Jin's concubine Chen Jiayu, Imperial Physician Mei, and even Pei Shao and Fei Heng.

Lin Shuran also told Xu Junze that he could also invite his colleagues and friends or subordinates to the mansion to celebrate the Lantern Festival together, but considering that Xu Junze had offended many people in the court in the past, it is estimated that he does not have many colleagues and friends.

Soon, the masters of all the mansions responded, saying that they would definitely bring their families to come that day, after all, the Xu family of the General's Mansion had never held any banquet since the mansion was opened.

In the next few days, the General's Mansion began to get busy, and Mrs. Hui, the cook in the farm in the southern suburbs, was also called to prepare for the dinner together.

Uncle Wu was not idle from morning to night, and all the work of making lanterns was entrusted to him. Palace lanterns, dragon lanterns, gauze lanterns, lanterns, seat lanterns, and revolving lanterns, whether they were in the shape of birds or animals or other shapes, were all related to him. It was a matter of hand, which made everyone wonder whether Uncle Wu used to sell lanterns, and he knew how to make too many lanterns.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Mingchen and his group of children woke up before dawn. Lin Shuran said that there will be big things coming to the house today, and they will need their help so they don't sleep in late.

"Miss, the young masters are all waiting in the yard!" Lin Shuran opened his eyes and looked at the sky outside. It was just dawn, and these children got up too early. She wanted to get up but Xu Junze put down one arm to let her go back to sleep After a while, "The children are all awake, why am I still sleeping, you can rest for a while!"

Lin Shuran rolled over and got out of bed, but Xu Junze stared at her resentfully. These days, Lin Shuran was so busy with tomorrow's Lantern Festival Banquet, that other people don't feel sorry for him, but he does. But this is Lin Shuran Of course, he will not stop what Zhang Luo is passionate about, and he can only order the servants to help her more, so as not to tire his wife.

Not long after, several carriages arrived outside the gate of the General's Mansion. Lin Shuran ordered people to drive the carriages directly in, and then parked in the open space in the front yard.

Tomorrow's Lantern Festival banquet will be held in the front yard of the General's Mansion, because Xu Junze is a member of the army, and he doesn't like rockery, ponds, pavilions, so the front yard has become a large open space of bluestone bricks, and there are not many flowers and plants in the yard , It is similar to the martial arts training ground in the army.

"Mother, what's on these carriages?" Xu Mingchen and the others also followed to the front yard. Seeing that the carriages were covered with cloth, they couldn't see what was inside, so they went forward and touched them, like wood or something.

"You will know in a while!" Lin Shuran smiled and asked the servants in the mansion to help unload the things on the carriage, and the person who led these people here was Xiao Jin, the shopkeeper of the wood shop that will be opened in the capital in a short time. He is the son of shopkeeper Jin, the pyrotechnic chef, and he is a very smart young man who has just passed his weak years.

Shopkeeper Xiao Jin held a large piece of paper in his hand, on which was drawn a strange house-like thing, tall and big, but it didn't look like it, because the house seemed to be some distance away from the ground.

Soon, shopkeeper Xiao Jin led his people to get busy. He asked people to remove all the planks, blocks and slats from the carriage, and actually built a wooden house on the spot in the courtyard of the General's Mansion. The two big boards "click" "click", it turned into a half-roof shape that couldn't be shaken. What's even more strange is that this wooden house has no sharp corners, and is wrapped with soft cloth strips everywhere.

"Mom, why did you ask people to build a house in the yard? What is this house for?" Xu Minghao, Xu Mingxuan and the others were so curious that they walked around several times, but they didn't understand what this tall wooden house was for. And now those people are setting up the wooden boards outside. The wooden boards are placed obliquely along the tall wooden house. There are many raised wooden blocks on them, and a thing that looks like a slide is added in the middle of the boards.

"This house is for you children to play. It's called a children's entertainment castle. It's made of wood. After a while, there will be thick cushions under it, so you won't be hurt if you draw down from it!" Lin Shuran has been thinking that there will be a Something for the children to play together, she thought of the kind of bouncy castles that are common in modern times, but this is ancient times, and there is no suitable material, so she thought of making a wooden version first, and then Be protective so the kids can play to their heart's content.

"It's for playing?!" Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan looked at each other with their eyes wide open, their eyes full of excitement, the ninth Xu Mingsong and the tenth Xu Mingsheng also looked excitedly at the entertainment castle that was about to be built. It's very interesting to play them.

Not only that, Lin Shuran also asked Xiao Jin to build two swings next to the entertainment castle, and a small four-seater carousel that can be rotated, but it will be turned by manpower, which is specially for little girls. Tomorrow, her niece Lin Siyu and Princess Jiangyue will come. Compared with climbing activities that boys are keen on, she thinks that girls like swings and carousels.

"It's too short!" Xu Mingye muttered to the side. The entertainment castle built by Lin Shuran is more suitable for younger children. He is 14 years old this year, and his height has surpassed Lin Shuran. It's not challenging, but because I haven't played it before, I still want to give it a try.

Although Xu Mingye spoke in a low voice, Lin Shuran still heard it. She smiled and said to him: "I specially prepared other games for you older children. After a while, shopkeeper Xiao Jin will install them as well." .”

Xu Mingye didn't expect Lin Shuran to be so thoughtful, and his heart was full of joy, but his face was still cool, and then he kept staring at the shopkeeper Xiao Jin, wondering what Lin Shuran had prepared for the older children.

"Mother, mother, can we go up and play now?" Lin Shuran's wooden version of the ancient children's entertainment castle has been assembled and installed, and the little ones are clamoring to go up and play.

"Okay, let's play!" Lin Shuran ordered, and Xu Minghao was the first to rush up.
