Fengqiwu of the Red Chamber

After joking for a while, Xifeng winked with Lemon, and it was convenient for her to come out and change clothes.While talking about the joke with Lemon, they came to the gate of the garden.Although the women in the garden were eating wine and fighting cards, they kept coming out to inquire. When they saw Xifeng coming, they all followed.When I came to the back porch of the flower hall, I saw the two little girls waiting there for a long time with a small washbasin in their hands and a hand towel in the other.Lemon hurriedly stretched out her hand to try it in the basin, and said with a smile: "Be careful, the water is still warm in the cold weather." The little girl smiled and said: "Exactly, I see that it is cold, and the girls also want to Come and wash your hands, it’s not just boiling water, it’s already warm.” Xifeng washed her hands, and the little girl took a small pot and poured some ouzi into her hands, Xifeng retting.This rett is a kind of fragrant honey used by upper-class women in ancient times. It is semi-liquid and is mainly composed of rock sugar, honey, powder, oil and spices. Its main function is to make the skin white and moist.The so-called "rett" means "ointment", which is very similar to the so-called "lemon butter" today.The "little pot" in the form of retting is a small jar-like bottle, very small, straight up and down like a barrel, made of porcelain, covered with a porcelain piece as the lid, sealed with paper, leaving a small gap on the edge of the lid to Prepare "rett" to flow out.Xifeng especially likes to use this kind of natural cosmetics, which not only nourish the skin but also contain no harmful substances.

When Mrs. Liu saw that Brother Jue and Brother Huan were too sleepy to keep their eyes open, she resigned Jia's mother and took her children home.Mother Jia asked Haosheng to send her to the carriage, and she took Baoyu and Daiyu to watch the fireworks together without mentioning it.After returning to Yuhua Lane, Mrs. Liu told Xifeng a few words and then went back to her room to rest. The smiling faces that greeted people in Jia's house all day were enough for Mrs. Liu and Yingniang.Xifeng was tired all day, and she was not in the mood to go out to watch the fireworks again. Thinking of the lanterns on the street, she couldn't help but sigh. He really never came again...

At this time, Xifeng had already unloaded her formal clothes, and changed into a pink pajamas with a pair of breasts, a jacket, and pink trousers.He was wearing a three-color satin jacket with a small paddy field jacket, and on his head was only a braided collar, which was loosely tied with a sapphire hairpin.There is only a small jade plug the size of a grain of rice in the ears and eyes, and the face under the lamp is as white as the full moon.The eyes are as clear as autumn water.Xifeng asked Lemon and the others to go down to freshen up, while she held Miaomiao lying on the warm couch and smoothed her hair one by one.Miaomiao was snoring, nestling happily in Xifeng's arms.Suddenly hearing a sound from the window next to her, Xifeng thought it was because of the strong night wind and the window was not closed properly, so she got up to check with Miaomiao.As soon as he came to the front, the window suddenly opened a corner, and Xifeng yelled, even the fluff in Miaomiao's arms was disturbed by the cold wind, and jumped out of Xifeng's embrace, opening her eyes uneasily, meowing, meowing. call.Hearing the voice, Lian Wu hurriedly asked: "Miss, but did you meet?" Then she got up and came over.A big cold hand came in from outside the window and grabbed Xifeng's hand. Xifeng thought it was the villain who was just about to punch him hard, but found that the damn handsome face appeared afterwards.

Lianwu couldn't hear Xifeng's reply, so she came over to knock on the door and said, "Girl, girl, why don't you talk, did it hurt?" Xifeng held back her anger, swallowed the curse forcibly, and replied: "It's nothing, I was just kidding around with Miaomiao, "it" dared to piss me off. Let's see how I clean up "it" later!" Shui Rong outside the window mouth-shaped: "Let me in first." Feng was furious, but he couldn't express it out loud, if others saw that he was covered in mouths, he would not be able to explain clearly, so he just grabbed the collar of Shui Rong and forced him in.The water-soluble makeup made a soft ouch, and stared at Xifeng accusingly with affectionate water eyes, which made Xifeng angry.Asked in a low voice: "My window is two feet above the ground. How did you climb up? And what are you doing by climbing my window at night? If people find you, will you let me live?" With an unnatural smile, "Don't worry!" Xifeng wanted to scratch all her hair, "I don't worry? Which door do I care about? Tonight, Lian Wu will accompany you to sleep on the bed* in the outer room, no more than Lemon treats herself Lian Wu knows more or less about her private affairs. If Lian Wu finds out that there is a man in her room, she has to tell Mrs. Liu immediately.

Shui Rong rubbed his neck, seeing Xifeng's panic-stricken appearance, the pink and purple gauze dress matched with Xifeng's long and narrow phoenix eyes, making her more soft and charming, Shui Rong's heart moved when she saw it, and her right hand stretched out to Xifeng to hold it tightly. The slender catkin of the handkerchief, imagining the softness and warmth in his hand, was unexpectedly pulled out of the neck by Xifeng, and said angrily: "My surname is Shui, I told you clearly and secretly. How many times, I, Wang Xifeng, will not be your concubine, and I don't want to have anything to do with your royal relatives. Our family has been entrusted by the emperor and has become an imperial merchant. Our whole family is very content, and we will pack our bags in a few days Then I went back to Jinling, and when I got back to Jinling, I asked my mother to help me choose a reliable man to marry, and I never wanted to return to the capital for the rest of my life." Shui Rong felt a pain in his heart when he heard that, and the corner of his mouth could not help but sneer: "You will Did you go back like this? You don’t want to take your righteous sister away?” Xifeng was taken aback when he heard that, how did he know that one of the main purposes of his stay in the capital was to take Daiyu away, could it be that the people around him were not too popular?Xifeng frowned, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the prince, I will naturally find a way to take my sister away. I would like to thank the prince for his help in going to sea and entering the palace. If you have any other requests, just ask. I don't like to owe others favors either." Shui Rong gently stroked Xifeng's little hand holding her collar, and said, "Okay." He took out a plain purse from his bosom, took out a shiny golden thing, and lightly With a light shake, the bell jingled, it was the golden hair ring that Xifeng lost that day.

"As a reward, accompany me to see the lanterns tonight!" Shui Rong showed no expression on his face, nor did he show any sadness, he just said lightly, as if it was an insignificant matter.Xifeng suddenly felt sore in her heart, as if she had lost something important, and she was so sad that she couldn't touch it.Xifeng was stunned for a while, and then said hello.Shui Rong nodded and turned his back.Xifeng looked at the water-soluble back as straight as a jade tree, and sighed deeply in her heart. She turned around and changed herself behind the screen into a suit of convenient clothes, with a sea-blue collar, a moon-white base, and a sapphire-blue bamboo-leaf printed satin facing the placket. A pink jacket with a stand-up collar, a white pleated skirt underneath, and a light beige dark floral satin leopard-trimmed suede cape.With her plain face facing the sky, without any decorations, she touched her head and found that her hair was still loose, so she couldn't help but stare at Shui Rong fiercely. Although Xifeng can do some simple hairstyles, her speed is extremely slow, and she can't go out without combing her hair. I had to barely pick up the comb.Just as she was about to comb her hair, the person in the Linghua mirror reached out and snatched the comb, and combed her hair independently. Xifeng was slightly taken aback, but then calmed down.Shui Rong seemed to be used to combing his hair. First, he laid down all Xifeng's hair and combed it smoothly. Then he made a few braids and tied them up with a gold ring. The hairstyle is simple but unique. Can't help but want to shed tears.Forget it, forget it, just let yourself be willful for once, and forget about each other when you return to Jinling.

Xifeng locked the door and blew out the candle.Both of them had some kung fu, they easily avoided people and jumped out of the door.The street is very lively, girls and daughters-in-law who usually stay at home all take advantage of the festival to come out to play together, and the lanterns are just a chance to socialize, unmarried men and women can also find a partner for themselves through the lanterns.During the Lantern Festival, it is another time for young men and women to meet their lovers.Therefore, the Lantern Festival can be said to be an authentic Chinese Valentine's Day, not the Qixi Festival that some people imagine superficially.In addition to various lanterns, the lively scenes of the Lantern Festival include torch dancing, fire balls, fire rain, playing with fire dragons and fire lions, etc.In the modern Lantern Festival, even fireworks are banned, and lantern shows are even rarer. Even guessing lantern riddles is done by watching others guess them on TV. Now that you are in the real scene and enjoying it, it’s like a countryman going to the city to watch it. Overwhelmed.Almost all the girls and girls on the street are holding a lantern, rabbit, lotus, all kinds of lanterns.Xifeng looked interesting, so she wanted to buy one to play with.Shui Rong took her to the biggest stall, which not only sold lanterns, but also had a game of guessing lantern riddles to win lanterns.The biggest highlight is a lantern with colorful phoenixes. There are glass cups inside the lamp, and the pure camellia oil is lit, which is smoke-free and bright, and the whole body is crystal clear and shining.On the top of the treasure cover is a red thread tied to a bow-shaped bamboo pole for the lantern bearer to hold.Seeing Xifeng staring at the phoenix lantern, Shui Rong tugged her and said, "What are you doing stupidly, let's see if I can win it back by luck." Xifeng followed Shui Rong and squeezed past .

Boss Lantern is an enthusiastic fat man. Looking at the gorgeously dressed handsome man and woman in front of him, he knew that they were children from rich families. His attitude became even more enthusiastic. He pointed to the lantern and said that if he could guess nine lantern riddles in a row, the lantern would be given to him for free. Riddler.Shui Rong reached out and took nine lantern riddles back, and checked them one by one.The first one was easier to guess. When he typed the word "雨", Shui Rong thought for a while and guessed the answer—Chi; the next few riddles included anagrams and idiom riddles. Looking at Shui Rong's serious appearance, he thought with a smile, this beautiful prince really has some ink in his stomach, and he just wanted to be happy seeing the fawning expression on the lamp boss's face.The last lantern riddle is a love poem: mandarin ducks are playing in the water, butterflies are in love with flowers; I have thousands of kinds of tenderness, who can I blend with in this life; We can meet each other and enjoy spring, summer, autumn and winter together.Xifeng looked confused, but seeing the fat boss next to him winking at her, it was even more inexplicable.Looking up at Shui Rong, he saw a pair of star eyes staring at him closely, with all kinds of thoughts in his eyes, Xifeng's heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but look away, pretending to watch the lanterns.
