Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

Chapter 84 The Lantern Festival

Maybe it was because she was closer to Baochai and Boyang psychologically, so Daiyu lived more comfortably in Xue's house.

Seeing this, Baochai brought up the topic of acknowledgment of his relatives again.

And this time, not just talking to Daiyu, but speaking in front of Aunt Xue.

Just like a smart person like Bo Yang has nothing to do with Xue Pan, Aunt Xue actually likes a smart, beautiful, and pitiful little girl like Daiyu very much.Especially her own daughter, Baochai, has such a dignified and stable temperament, which is even more distressing compared to Daiyu.Therefore, she is very willing to this proposal.

"I used to have a dignified and steady elder daughter, and now I have a smart and lovely younger daughter. This kind of blessing is not for everyone." She took Daiyu's hand and said, "I'm afraid that being my daughter, I have wronged you."

"If my aunt thinks this way, then I will die without a place to die." Daiyu said hastily, "If you don't dislike it, I will naturally wish for it."

"Isn't that all right?" Baochai smiled from the side, "I can't call you Aunt this time."

Daiyu couldn't help being embarrassed, and called again, "Mother."

Baochai said, "That name sounds very unfamiliar. We in Jinling are all called mother. Sister Lin used to live in Yangzhou, so it's not much different when I think about it. If that's the case, why don't you call us like us, so that you can appear close."

Daiyu had to call out again, and Aunt Xue held her hand, nodded and said yes, as if she liked it, and said, "When I was in Jinling, I recognized my son, Brother Yang, because I invited him to a banquet." For relatives, even though they are in the capital now, they should not be too careless. When we meet your two elder brothers in the evening, let them also think about how to handle this matter decently."

"Mom, please don't do this!" Daiyu hurriedly said, "This is good enough. If everyone is worried about my affairs, it will make me feel uneasy."

"Forget it." Aunt Xue thought for a while, and said, "Then set up a few tables at home, and let the servants below come to see you. This can't be avoided." Then she said to Baochai, "You follow me I have been studying housekeeping for a year or two, and I am the closest to her on weekdays, so I will leave this matter to you to handle properly, how about it?"

"Since mother said so, my daughter will naturally take orders." Baochai responded with a smile.

Seeing this, Daiyu couldn't help but wonder.Although girls from aristocratic families should learn some skills from their mothers, there are not many unmarried girls who manage things alone.Although Baochai can do something on her own, she still needs the compassion of her mother and elder brother.

But after thinking about it, she now has this blessing herself, so she doesn't have to envy her.

Baochai took this job, so she dragged Daiyu to discuss with her, and soon it was handled smoothly. Daiyu learned a lot from her, and admired her even more.A few days later, Xue's family held a small banquet to formally recognize this daughter.

Originally Daiyu lived with Tong Baochai, but at that time she was a guest after all, so living with Baochai meant it was convenient for her to take care of her.Now that she is a girl of the Xue family, it is naturally different.Although the yard is not big, Aunt Xue still made a separate place for her.

Coincidentally, when this house was first built, the owner admired the gentleness of scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the courtyard is in the pattern of a courtyard in the north, the garden at the back is an imitation of a garden in the south of the Yangtze River. The most important thing is that there is also a monastery in the garden.One is where the master's family reads and relaxes on weekdays, which is where Baochai lives now.In the other place, a small three-story building was built, imitating the embroidery building where the ladies in the south of the Yangtze River lived.

In the past, this place was empty, and only the host family would come here if they wanted to climb high and look far away or overlook the landscape in the garden.Now Aunt Xue simply vacated it and gave it to Daiyu.

The house has been taken care of and repaired all year round. You only need to clean it up and put in all the furnishings before you can move in. So after a few days, Daiyu moved into her new house.Needless to say, the furniture and furnishings were all brought from Xue's warehouse.The rest of the items are all new sets, and Daiyu can move in even if she doesn't bring anything.

After the layout was finished, Baochai and Daiyu came over to take a stroll in person, and teased her after reading it, "Since you live in this embroidery building, you must cheer up and do all your embroidery work." Just finish it quickly! Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a disappointment to this residence?”

Daiyu said with a smile, "Since Sister Bao urged me to do it, I will naturally light a lamp and boil the oil, and I will finish it."

"It's terrible, your mouth is getting more and more unforgiving." Baochai said, "If people know about it, they will think I'm harsh on you, just to get you to come to our house to be an embroiderer."

Daiyu said seriously, "Anyone who thinks like this has no conscience."

Seeing this, Baochai shook her hand and said, "You, you are just too caring. I was just joking. If you take these words to heart, you won't be able to care about them. They will be changed in the future. "

"Of course everything has changed." Daiyu laughed.

The same is affectionate, but the feeling of Baochai is completely different from that of Baoyu.Talking to her makes people relax and at ease, and doesn't need to spend so much thinking about it.Daiyu used to think that if two people speculate, they would have to spend those thoughts, but now she knows that is not the case.

Probably Baoyu is childish all over her body, if she gets upset, even if she is facing Daiyu, she will inevitably shake her face.The same is true for Daiyu herself, both of them look like this, it's natural to be very good, but they don't want to turn back easily when they are annoyed.Repeatedly, it is exhausting.

Daiyu liked this place originally, but now that it is her own home, she is even more at ease.Getting along with Aunt Xue and Baochai every day, whether it is playing and playing or learning from Aunt Xue, makes her feel happy.

The happy days always pass quickly, and the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month will come in a blink of an eye.

On this ancient Valentine's Day, of course Xue Pan wanted to go out with Bo Yang.It's a pity that there are two more younger sisters in the family, but they can't be left behind.But if you want to take two girls out, it is unavoidable to arrange two or three people to take care of them. In this way, there are six or seven people in the group, and they are very conspicuous wherever they go.

During the Lantern Festival, the government can’t help the night, and whether it is the government or the business, or the wealthy households in the city, there are beautiful lantern mountains on the street. One is to show off wealth, and the other is for passersby to enjoy.

On this day, even young girls can go out in a fair manner, and the street is full of fragrant clothes and shadows, so Baochai and Daiyu didn't change their clothes, and naturally they didn't do anything to cover up.Surrounded by the crowd, he walked slowly along the flow of people.

"When it's not like this, it's hard to feel that there are so many people living in the capital." Baochai sighed softly.

Even if you can't see anything, you can feel the strong festive atmosphere among such a lively crowd.What's more, the surrounding lights and flower shadows decorate this market like a fairy palace in the sky.

After a stroll, they saw a stall for guessing lantern riddles.Regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, business people like to divide the area, and the same shops and stalls are placed together, so that buyers can find it easily and the business will be more prosperous.So this street is full of stalls guessing lantern riddles.

Bo Yang turned his head and saw that Baochai and Daiyu were eager to try, so he smiled and said, "Let's go up and play."

The two got permission and became even more excited, arm in arm and looked along the lantern riddle stalls one by one.Most of the lantern riddles on this stall are not difficult for the two of them.At first Daiyu guessed a few with great interest, but when she realized that the prizes were only mediocre, and the questions were not difficult, she lost interest.

Baochai said in a low voice, "It's all for ordinary people to guess here. Naturally, there is no difficulty. Otherwise, they will not be able to guess, and it will be boring. Let's go forward. There are restaurants on that street. Usually, literati Everyone loves to gather there, and today I think about it and I will give difficult riddles."

Daiyu nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Xue Pan and Bo Yang naturally had no choice but to keep up.

Sure enough, it wasn't too far, and it turned into another street.The lights and festoons here are more dazzling than other places, but the flow of people is much less.This is because ordinary people have somewhat of awe of scholars, knowing that most of these people gather here, many people don't come to join in the fun.Only those who are a little literate and want to watch the excitement come here.

Looking around, Daiyu saw that the lamp hills on this street were indeed more unique and interesting than other places.She went up to look at a few lantern riddles, turned her head and smiled at Baochai, "How about my competition with Sister Bao?"

"How do you compare?"

"Let's walk along this street and choose a lantern riddle that we think is the most difficult for the other party to guess, how about?"

To pick out which one is the most difficult, naturally you have to guess all these lantern riddles.You only need to see if the answers are the same to know whether both of them have guessed correctly, even the referee is not necessary.And such a competition will not affect the merchants.Otherwise, if the two of them guessed all the lantern riddles correctly, it would be no different from smashing the scene.

So the two of them looked along the various lamp mountains all the way.Most of the time, they are walking forward, and it is almost difficult to see that they have stopped, which shows that the lantern riddles are not difficult.Occasionally bow your head and think hard, that is very difficult.

Bo Yang and Xue Pan led people behind to protect them, lest they be mocked and modified.At first, no one else noticed this bet, but with such a big fight, someone soon noticed it.Seeing the appearance of the two, I guessed five or six points, presumably the two girls are competing.

People at that time loved literary talent, not to mention that there were two beautiful girls who guessed the riddles, so the topics were naturally stronger, and they were passed on one after another. In the end, many people followed Bo Yang and the others, waiting to see the final answer. result.

But looking at it, everyone couldn't help muttering, "These two girls said they were guessing riddles, why did they keep their heads down and didn't tell them all the answers?"
