The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

After dinner, Shang Chanchan went out with her elder brother.

Jiang did not forget to give many instructions, so he let them go.

Today, Shang Chanchan wore a silk jacket skirt with cherry red embroidered hibiscus branches, a moon-white goose feather cloak with green branches pattern on the outside, and a civet cat mask on her face.

Shangyuan Festival's singing is loud and beautiful, and Shang Chanchan has seen it before last year. Looking at it again this year, although it still feels brilliant, it also lacks a lot of amazement.

As soon as he left the long street of Baoninghou Mansion, he saw a carriage parked at the corner of the street, and Xie Ling was standing under the carriage waiting for the Shang brothers and sisters.

He also carried a glass hibiscus hydrangea lamp in his hand.I saw a lifelike hibiscus flower the size of a bowl embedded in the transparent glass ball. There was a candle holder in the center of the flower, and colored candles were inserted there.

Shang Chi said to his sister, "This lamp really matches your clothes."

Shang Chanchan quickly waved her hand: "We didn't discuss it in advance."

After getting closer, Shang Chanchan saw that Xie Ling was alone, and the carriage behind him was also empty, so she couldn't help being stunned: "Where are your three younger sisters?"

Xie Ling said concisely: "I didn't bring it."

Just like the Baoning Hou Mansion created opportunities for their son and future daughter-in-law, the Xie family's thoughts coincided with this, so they asked the family's servants to bring three girls to another party, and did not follow Xie Ling.

No matter what Xie Jia's intentions are, Shang Chanchan puts all her heart into her brother and future sister-in-law. She just said in her heart: That's fine, so the elder brother doesn't need to be distracted to take care of every girl. She just needs to take good care of Sister Lin. It's done.

Everyone has already agreed to meet here, so as not to be blocked by the flow of cars and horses and people on the main street, it is inconvenient to meet together.

So the three of them waited for Princess Lirong and Daiyu here.

Seeing that Shang Chanchan was not wearing a snow cap, Xie Ling thought about the cold wind in winter and feared that she would get cold, so he said to her: "It's warm in the carriage, go up and wait."

Shang Chanchan shook her head, and took the lamp from him to enjoy it: "At the appointed time, Sister Lin and the princess are both punctual people, and they will arrive soon, so it will be troublesome to get on and off the carriage."

Sure enough, before she finished speaking, she saw a green-covered, pearl-tasseled and eight-treasure chariot coming from the night, it was indeed the carriage of the Lin family.

Last year Daiyu came out from the Rongguo Mansion with only a few maids with her, but this time she went out is completely different.Not only were all the maids and servants surrounded by the wind and rain, but even the butler Lin personally followed the car to see the eldest girl off.

At this time, the gray-bearded butler Lin greeted all the young masters and girls, and then bowed to Shang Chi again: "The master said that the street is more lively this year than before, and there are many people and horses, so what if you wrong the young lady? I don't want to ask the girl to go out."

"This morning, the Marquis of Baoning sent someone to come to the mansion again to ask for a letter, and he said that the eldest son will follow, so the master can rest assured."

Of course, Lin Ruhai didn't know the intention of the merchant's marriage at this time, it was purely because of getting along with him this year that he trusted Shang Chi's ability very much.I also know that my daughter is in harmony with the merchant girl, and the Shangyuan Festival is only once a year, and I can't bear to restrain my daughter at home, so I agreed.

Butler Lin smiled all over his face: "The little one has to go back to the house to take care of him. Everything will be done by Mr. Lao Shang."

Shang Chi nodded in agreement.

Here, Shang Chanchan saw that Daiyu was wearing a crane cloak with a red feather veil and a white fox fur, tied with a blue-gold glittering green double-ringed sash, which shone like the morning glow reflecting the snow, so she asked: "This is the empress." Is it the white fox fur for my sister? Sure enough, the empress is sure, this one looks especially good in the snow."

Daiyu still wore the jade girl mask of last year, nodded and said: "Yes, and I also asked someone to make those two squirrel jackets. I will give you one when I enter the palace tomorrow."

The queen asked Daiyu to pick out the skins. At first she was only willing to pick out the squirrels, so the queen gave her several pieces together.

The snow on the street has not yet melted, and Daiyu stands in the snow in a red cloak, just like a person in a painting.

Daiyu tried Shang Chanchan's hand stove here, and she felt relieved when she felt it was hot. She continued to laugh and said, "Last year, the princess brought a black dog to pretend to be Erlang God. I don't know what to wear this year."

Shang Chanchan was also eagerly waiting to see, Princess Lirong could always make the Lantern Festival a Halloween.

However, although the two were mentally prepared, they were still shocked when they saw Princess Lirong wearing Zhang Guolao's mask and riding upside down on a donkey.

In all conscience, the donkey was a good donkey, looking high-spirited, with shiny black hair and strong hooves.

But the problem is that no matter how good a donkey is, it is still a donkey.

Shang Chanchan couldn't help asking: "Why doesn't the county magistrate have a horse, why does he have to bring a whole donkey?"

Princess Lirong still maintains the difficult movement of sitting upside down on a donkey.

I saw the two grooms in front of the donkey, no, donkey drivers, holding the reins fearfully, their faces full of fear.And the donkey was surrounded by Wuyang Wuyang and a group of servants, for fear that the princess would fall and fall due to the magical operation of riding the donkey upside down.

Princess Lirong seemed indifferent, and raised the small leather whip in his hand, saying: "Of course Zhang Guolao wants to ride the donkey backwards. You also know that my father Wang admired Master Lu Ban the most in his life, and Zhang Guolao rode backwards." Isn’t the allusion to the donkey related to Lu Ban? So I am my daughter, Father Xiao, expressing my filial piety.”

Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said: "Then please ask the princess to find a bridge to step on, so as not to disappoint this outfit."

Legend has it that Zhang Guolao made a bet with Lu Ban, not believing that the bridge built by Master Lu could withstand him riding a donkey, but he lost the bet, and since then he can only ride the donkey backwards.

So Daiyu said this.

Princess Lirong took it seriously, nodded and said: "Then you guys go play first, I have to find a bridge to walk around today."

Then he recited a poem with a Buddhist meaning: "It's not about riding a donkey backwards, everything is looking back."

Only then did the servants of the family be urged to drive the donkey away quickly.

Seeing the spectacle of dozens of people disappearing into the lights of the Lantern Festival with a donkey between them, Daiyu couldn't help sighing with Shang Chanchan: "Princess Lirong is really a strange woman like a magnolia and a red brush."

Shang Chanchan deeply agreed.

Because Princess Lirong flew away on a donkey, there were only four people left here to enjoy the lanterns. Compared with last year's dozen or so people, the team was much smaller, and Shang Chanchan was more casual. Stop and watch.

She was quite interested at first, but later she realized that the lights were no different from last year, so she became bored and said: "Brother, let's go directly to Jinxiu Tower, I still think it's better to see the lights from above."

After being seated in the same private room as last year, Shang Chanchan couldn't help but wonder: "Jinxiu Tower seems to be much more lively than last year, is it because we came earlier this year?"

All the guests on the top floor are distinguished guests, and most of them are distinguished guests with their wives, so it is inconvenient for the shopkeeper to serve in front of him, so he only arranges two smart maids in each room, one of them saw Shang Chanchan asking questions, He quickly answered.

Only then did Shang Chanchan know that today is the tenth anniversary of Jinxiulou.

Although it doesn't hold discounts like modern times, this Lantern Festival is more lively.

The maid smiled and said: "There will be a good firework in front of the building at the third quarter of the day. If you young masters and girls are not lacking, if you can stay and watch, it is the good fortune of this firework and our Jinxiu Building."

Shang Chanchan thought in her heart: She is very eloquent, and she doesn't feel stage fright at all serving these young masters and young ladies.She was really curious about who the owner behind the Jinxiu Building was.

It is definitely not an ordinary restaurant that can make all the female relatives of the famous families in Beijing use this place as a resting place.

However, in front of this maid, Shang Chanchan didn't want to go to the bottom of the boss, so she just asked: "Then will there be a civil and military lantern competition this year?"

"Of course there are, and this year's bustle is different from the past. In addition to guessing lantern riddles, there are also lyrics and poems in the essay test."

"Speaking of which, last year a girl picked Wenkui early and won the lottery, which disappointed the guests who came later. This year we have added some tricks to make sure the distinguished guests have a good time."

Shang Chanchan smiled and said: "The girl who won the leader early and changed the rules of your Jinxiu Building is far away and close at hand." After speaking, she looked at Daiyu.

The maid hurriedly bent her knees and laughed, "It's the servant who has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai."

After hearing the introductions of the two maids, Shang Chanchan told them to go down when she saw all kinds of refreshments were prepared, and even the maids and servants who came out with her also let them wait outside.She only had ganoderma lucidum with her, and Daiyu only had snow geese with her.

Seeing that there were only these few people left in the room, Shang Chanchan stretched out her hand to remove the civet cat mask, and said with a smile: "This thing is really boring. I don't need to wear it in front of elder brother, and brother Xie is also in the palace with me. I have seen it many times, but this time is not bad."

She persuaded Daiyu again: "Sister Lin should pick it up too. Now our two families and one family are not bad. What are you doing with this stuff? You'll get sick for nothing. As for Xie's brother..."

Shang Chanchan was a little stuck, thinking that the Lin family and the Xie family were really not very familiar.So he had the intention of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and said to Xie Ling, "Why don't you go out and stroll by yourself."

Xie Ling: ...

Fortunately, Shang Chanchan thought about it again, and continued to persuade Daiyu: "Don't say that in our house, Sister Lin and Brother Xie's brother also had a one-sided relationship, but now the empress has recognized her as a righteous daughter Meaning, brother Xie is also the mother's own nephew, from this point of view, there is no need to shy away from brothers and sisters."

This saved Xie Ling from being kicked out early and wandering in the snow.

Daiyu hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

After she wore the mask overnight last year, her face started to itch the next day, and it took a few days of rubbing rose nitrate to heal.It was really a bit of a pain, so he was relieved after hearing Shang Chanchan's words.

Of all the people here, only Shang Chi has never seen Daiyu's face.

His gaze was originally indifferent, but when he saw Daiyu clearly, he froze for a moment.

I saw that Miss Lin's eyebrows were like green mountain daisy, her eyes were like shattered cold stars, and she looked like a goddess when she was looking forward.

For a moment, Shang Chi couldn't tell whether the mask Daiyu was holding was the goddess under Guanyin's seat, or the lotus mask in front of her that deceived Shuang Saixue was the real jade girl.

He unconsciously tapped the table with his right index finger twice, thinking back, the last time his heart beat so fast was... oh, it was when he suddenly saw the ugly snowman made by his sister at night.

As soon as the ugly snowman passed his head, the palpitation he had just stopped stopped.

Shang Chanchan never imagined that the snowman she made was so ugly that it would have an effect on Shang Chi.

From then on, whenever Shang Chi's heart was in turmoil, he would close his eyes and think back to the ugly snowman with crooked mouth and slanted eyes that he encountered that night.

My mind suddenly woke up.

Of course, this is all for later, but at this time Shang Chi just lowered his eyes and stopped looking at Daiyu.

He was absent-minded for only a short moment, and no one else noticed it. Only Shang Chanchan had planned for a long time and stared at the two of them with good eyes, which caught a trace of Shang Chi's abnormality.

What is the golden wind and jade dew once met, this is it!

She was so happy that she couldn't help laughing out loud.

As for Shang Chanchan's smile, Shang Chi's eyes settled down, and he turned around and asked lightly, "What are you laughing at, sister?"

Shang Chanchan felt guilty, so she immediately looked at her nose and nose, sat down obediently with her hands on her knees, and quickly replied: "I'm not laughing, I was wrong, I won't dare next time."

She is used to admitting her mistakes in front of Shang Chi—whether she is wrong or not, I will admit it first, and strive for a good attitude, so that my elder brother will be in a better mood and let her go.

However, in Xie Ling's eyes, her honest and well-behaved appearance was shocked on the spot.

I couldn't help feeling admiration and envy for Shang Chi in my heart.

The author has something to say: the next chapter is a essay test discussion between the gods of learning. I have revised it many times, and my head is going to be bald.

The mood is the same as that of Chanchan: I am not worthy. (storm cry)
