The Red Mansion Becomes Lin Daiyu

--

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor sealed the pen, and the officials naturally began their vacation life.On the same day, Lin Daiyu went to Lin Ruhai with a large pile of account books. The reason was that although she was in charge of these now, Lin Ruhai, as a member of the family, also needed to understand the family property.Lin Ruhai frowned as he looked at those ledgers, but seeing his daughter's persistent expression, he picked them up and read them slowly, but the deeply wrinkled brows still showed his displeasure.Lin Daiyu secretly chuckled a few times behind her back, and went to the kitchen to prepare snacks for Lin Ruhai.

When Lin Daiyu came to the conference hall with a plate of snacks and saw Lin Ruhai frowning while flipping through the ledger, she still couldn't help feeling a little guilty in her heart, er, did she go too far.But she immediately told herself in her heart, don't be soft-hearted, what is this, she is still a child, her father can squeeze her, so don't be soft-hearted.But in the end, under the intimidation of Lin Ruhai's furrowed eyebrows, Lin Daiyu still gave in aggrieved.

"Daddy, let me help you!" Lin Daiyu said as she put the snacks on the table next to her.

Hearing Lin Daiyu's words, Lin Ruhai's mouth quickly formed a smile. Although it was very shallow and quickly covered up, it was real.Well, my daughter really cared about him, and it's not in vain that his frown hurts. He's really afraid that his daughter won't see it, so wouldn't he be miserable?

"No need, dear daughter, you have been busy for so long, so you don't need to look at these things. Being a father is also a part of the family. This is what should be done. Just take care of yourself and take a good rest today." Lin Ruhai said , try my best to show a look that I would like to see.Hehe, a member of the family, I don’t know where my daughter heard this sentence, it’s quite fresh.

"It doesn't matter, Daddy, I'll do it. I'm used to reading these anyway, and I don't care about adding a few more." Lin Daiyu ignored Lin Ruhai's stop, and took one to read.

"Then let's take a quick look! It will be faster this way." Lin Ruhai suggested.

"Okay" After hearing this idea, Lin Daiyu readily agreed.

Both of them have reached an astonishing level of memory after their cultivation, and the efficiency of reading the ledgers is naturally much higher than others. However, Lin Daiyu didn't have many ledgers left for Lin Ruhai, and the two of them finished reading them in the afternoon.

Putting down the last account book, Lin Daiyu let out a long breath, and finally finished reading it. Alas, this ancient account book is really terrible. "This way of keeping accounts looks too troublesome. Daddy, let's change it next year!"

"What should I change it to? As far as my father knows, our house uses the simplest accounting method." Lin Ruhai said, I don't know what her daughter's idea is. These years, her daughter often comes up with some novelties. s things.At the beginning, he didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was a child's playfulness, as long as his daughter was happy, he didn't care, so he let her do it, but he didn't expect that the things his daughter made were really useful.Unexpectedly, this time my daughter said that there is a simpler method of keeping accounts. He is also well-informed. He has never heard of any simpler method of keeping accounts. I wonder where my daughter learned it from?

"There are simpler ones. My daughter did her own research. Isn't my daughter reading arithmetic books recently? I found that changing the notation would be much simpler, and it looks more convenient." Lin Daiyu said.

"Really, Yu'er still reads arithmetic books. It's more extensive than reading books for her father. It seems that I have to read more books for my father, or maybe one day my good daughter will dislike her for being a child." My father has little knowledge."

"Daddy, you're making fun of me again!" Lin Daiyu glared at Lin Ruhai, twisted her neck and said.

"Haha..." The daughter is so cute, Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing a few times, causing Lin Daiyu to roll her eyes again.Uh, is he rejected by his daughter?

"As a father, this is a compliment to you, daughter. Just do as you say, and you will implement it in our house next year." Although she has never heard of it, Lin Ruhai intuitively believes in her daughter and doesn't care about it. , let my daughter do whatever she wants!

"Understood, Daddy!" Lin Daiyu replied.

Busy and busy, it will soon be New Year's Eve. Lin Daiyu prepared a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits from her farm and sent them to the third prince and the queen mother. Later, thinking that the eighth prince had helped her so much, she also gave him some Bar.Of course, there are also some things in the space mixed in. Although there are not too many in order not to arouse others' suspicion, the benefits to the body are great.Both the third prince and the queen mother were very kind to her, so she could only do her best.

On New Year's Eve this year, the Lin Mansion was decorated with lights and festoons everywhere, creating a joyous scene.The couplets had already been pasted up, except for the main gate which was bestowed by the emperor, the others were written by Lin Ruhai himself. Oh, by the way, there were also Lin Daiyu, although there were not many, but they were also written.Why do you say that, originally Lin Daiyu didn't intend to write it, the couplet written by Lin Ruhai had already been pasted up in the Jade Garden at that time, but several maids urged her to write a couplet saying that she would go back and paste it in her room.Lin Daiyu was begged endlessly by them, so she simply wrote a few pictures to deal with them.Unexpectedly, this matter was encountered by Lin Ruhai, and he insisted on Lin Daiyu writing a few for him, and even forced someone to remove the couplets in his main room and replace them with those written by Lin Daiyu.This made Lin Daiyu very depressed. Although her handwriting can be read, it is far from her father's. After all, she has only practiced for two or three years. No matter how you look at it, she is very immature.

Daddy, you are not afraid of being made fun of by outsiders!Lin Daiyu still remembers that when she asked this question, Lin Ruhai raised her eyebrows and smiled indifferently and said, "What's wrong with me posting the couplet written by my daughter? They can laugh if they want to. Father doesn't care?"

Thinking about coming to Lin Daiyu until now, I still feel warm in my heart. Although she came to ancient times, she has a father who is sincerely good to her, instead of just using her daughter as a tool for marriage like many high-ranking officials in ancient times, how lucky she is!

In the afternoon, Lin Daiyu asked Hong Lian to check this year's annual ceremony again, so as not to miss anything.Tomorrow is the first day of junior high school. From the second day of junior high school, everyone will be busy visiting relatives and friends. Although there are not many relatives in the Lin family, but Lin Ruhai is an official in the capital, and contacts between officials are indispensable.Naturally, when others come to visit at home, they also need to return gifts. The annual ceremony has been almost prepared a few days ago, and now they are all guarded in the warehouse?Slowly, there was a large warehouse. At that time, Lin Daiyu felt shocked when she saw it. Looking at the real thing, the text is really different.The ancients paid attention to etiquette and restraint in dealing with each other. If there is something missing, it will be bad, so it is better to check again.

Busy here and there, unknowingly the sun has gradually set, leaving only half of the red glow hanging slantingly in the western sky, the red dripping blood, but it gives people a magical feeling.As night fell, various activities on New Year's Eve gradually kicked off, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard from time to time.The Spring Festival also has a long history in China. It can be traced back to the "December Festival" at the end of the primitive society. disaster.This custom has been passed down for many years, and even now, ancestor worship is still an essential link.

After Lin Daiyu accompanied Lin Ruhai to pay respects to her ancestors, she went to pay respects to her mother's memorial tablet.Then it was the New Year's Eve dinner. The New Year's Eve dinner in the Lin Mansion was very rich and delicate. It was all carefully prepared by the chef. Coupled with the high quality of the dishes, it looked very appetizing.Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu sat at the dining table and had a lively meal amidst the sound of firecrackers.As for the rest of the food, it is naturally given to the people who serve around. Good fortune is also good.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, it is natural to watch the New Year's Eve. This night to say goodbye to the old and welcome the New also represents hope. Going to the court and frightening the folks will burn red candles until the fifth watch of the New Year.Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai sat around the stove, chatting casually, the house was burning with earth dragons, and they didn't feel cold even in winter.First, it started from Lin Daiyu's studies, and continued to talk about the current cultivation issues. The servants are all waiting outside, and Lin Daiyu specially released an isolation cover to ensure safety.

The higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it will be, and the longer it will take. Although Lin Daiyu has cultivated to the Golden Core two years ago, her progress has slowed down a lot since then, and she is only in the middle stage of the Golden Core.Lin Daiyu is not in a hurry, everything has a marriage, and when the time comes, it will naturally come to fruition.In the past, I was worried that the foundation would be unstable if the cultivation base was too fast. Everything should be done step by step. If it exceeds that speed, there will be certain side effects. In the early stage, Lin Daiyu advanced too fast and lost some vitality. It is just a good time to stabilize now Let's build up our foundation and replenish our vitality.Lin Ruhai is also in the middle stage of integration now, the body of Zhu Ji and his cultivation base have gradually merged together, and he is in a stage of ability improvement. Although the speed of cultivation is not as fast as that of Lin Daiyu, it is not too slow.

The two had a lot of conversations, and before they knew it, the sky was getting slightly brighter.The sound of firecrackers sounded again and again, and the butler Lin Quan came to ask Lin Ruhai to go to the outer courtyard to accept the worship of the servants, and then to enter the palace to celebrate the new year with the emperor.

The maids and women also came to pay New Year's greetings to Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu asked Honglian to take out the gold and silver scorpions that she had prepared before and share them among everyone.To say that the Spring Festival is really a good opportunity for servants to make some small fortunes, and you must know that the usual monthly money for a low-level maid is not necessarily just such a small silver coin?When the servants pay New Year greetings to the master, the master will reward many small things, and the lower the status, the more rewards they get.When the master is in a very generous mood, the rewards given casually can rival their monthly money for several years. It is no wonder that these maids and women are so active in their New Year greetings.

After the rewards were distributed, Lin Daiyu asked everyone to go down to rest. After all, even her strong body felt a little tired after staying up all night, let alone the others.Back in Yuyuan, Lin Daiyu told her to go down, as long as her maidservants had children in the family, they could go home to reunite with their families for a day, and come back to serve them tomorrow.The most prominent among them is of course the green lotus root, and she kept saying that her own girl is the best.Seeing her mischievous appearance, Lin Daiyu couldn't help being amused, and rewarded the maids with two hundred coins each, letting them use it to supplement their families, and it was worth following her for a year.

At this moment, only Honglian and a few little maids are left in Yuyuan. They were all bought from Ren Yazi outside, and they have no relatives in Lin's mansion.Alas, these maids are also poor people. They were sold to rich and noble families as slaves at a young age, and they couldn't even see their relatives.After getting along for a few years, Lin Daiyu has somewhat developed feelings for them, especially Honglian, who can be said to be her right-hand man.After ordering them to go down to rest, Lin Daiyu asked someone to go to the kitchen to deliver a message, planning to hold a small banquet in Yuyuan after everyone woke up, so that at least it could bring them some comfort!

41 Chapter Forty

After the first day of junior high school, everyone started to visit relatives and friends, and Lin Daiyu was really busy for a while.After the second year of junior high school, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit Lin's mansion, and some even brought their wives to get close to each other. Even if Lin Daiyu didn't like it, she had to receive it.Busy all day long, the sky is dark and the sky is dark. Finally, on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the number of visits has finally decreased, and I have to prepare the items for the Lantern Festival. Lin Daiyu simply delegated the power to the managers of each house, and let them make their own decisions. They really can’t decide. Ask yourself again to be quiet.

Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, only one day away from the Lantern Festival, Lin's mansion has newly bought a batch of lanterns, and a group of little girls are chatting in the yard right now?

"That lantern is so beautiful, look how cute that little rabbit is!"

"That's not it, the blue lantern is really beautiful!"

"Let me tell you, this revolving lantern is good when it is lit. Do you think the painting on that revolving lantern is still Monkey King? When it is lit tomorrow night, it will look much better than the ones you said."

"Yes, yes? Let me see."

Lin Daiyu saw this very lively scene when she entered the yard, she couldn't help smiling knowingly, these little girls are really childlike!

"Why, have you discussed which one is the best?" Lin Daiyu asked.

"Oh, why did the girl come out? Did the servants disturb you?" Lv Lotus asked in surprise.

"You also know that you are arguing!" Hong Lian rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know how to keep your voice down."

"It's okay, I'm not sleeping, what's the matter?" Lin Daiyu said, glancing at Lvou.

"Sister Honglian is really too, you see, the girl said it's all right." She pointed to one of the revolving lanterns and said, "We are all saying that the revolving lantern is beautiful, and there is still a picture of Monkey King on it making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, waiting for it to move The time must be beautiful, girl, what do you think?"

"I also think this one is the best." Lin Daiyu said, as expected of children, they all like lively and moving things, which is no different from modern children who like to watch cartoons.The revolving lantern is indeed one of the more popular lanterns, because there is a wheel in the lantern. After the candle is lit, the heat rises, driving the air convection, and the lantern will also rotate, so it is called a revolving lantern.Because there are various characters, flowers and birds cut out of colored paper pasted around the lamp, it is full of movement after turning, and it is also very popular among people. It is understandable that these little maids like it.

"Let me just say, the girl will definitely like it." Lv lotus raised her eyebrows with a smile and looked at the little maids beside her, which meant that I was right!

"Tomorrow these lanterns will be pasted with lantern riddles, and whoever guesses correctly will own them. If you like it, come and guess the lantern riddles tomorrow!" Lin Daiyu said.

"Miss, don't worry, the servants will definitely come to guess. The servants have never seen such a beautiful lantern before, how could they miss such a good opportunity for nothing." The maids said one after another.

A few people were talking, suddenly the personal attendant of the eighth prince, Xiao Muzi, came to ask for an interview, and Lin Daiyu had someone bring him into the room to meet him.

"Girl, our master asked the slaves to come and bring you lanterns." Xiao Muzi said after paying his respects.

"What kind of lantern?"

"For the girl, it's an octagonal palace lantern and some small animal lanterns. I don't know what the girl likes, so I prepared one of each." After speaking, he motioned to the boy standing outside to bring the things. .

Lin Daiyu was horrified when she saw it. How could there be such a gift of lanterns? I saw that the first thing brought in was a delicately decorated octagonal palace lantern, followed by some small animal lanterns, like little rabbits, little monkeys, etc. There are more than a dozen, and I am not a lamp seller, so why do you need so many?

"Xiao Muzi, go back and tell the Eighth Prince, I don't want so many, just keep one, and let him give the rest to others!"

"No, no, girl, these are specially made by the master for you, you must stay, or you will be scolded to death if you don't go back, you should be a poor slave!" Xiao Muzi heard Lin Daiyu became anxious at what she said, and begged with a bitter face.Before coming, His Highness ordered that it must be delivered to Miss Lin, and there must be no mistakes. If Miss Lin doesn't accept the misfortune, it will be him!

"Okay, okay, look at your bitter face, what's the matter? I'll just accept it, go back and tell your master, I won't accept something like this next time."

"Thank you, girl. The slave knows that the girl is a good person. Don't worry, girl. The slave will definitely bring it."

"Why, I am a good person like this, and there are too many good people in the world, Xiao Muzi, do you always compliment everyone like this?" Lin Daiyu raised her eyebrows and smiled, with a sly look on her face, I don't know when it started, she actually fell in love with teasing Xiao Muzi when he was free, it was quite fun to see him anxious.

"Girl, you have wronged this slave." Xiao Muzi raised his right hand to make an oath: "I swear this sentence is only said to you."

Lin Daiyu, who looked at it with a serious face, just wanted to laugh: "Okay, I believe you are, you go back and tell your master, just say that I thank him for the lanterns, but don't give away so many lanterns in the future, I am not buying Lanterns!"

"Yes, the servant took the order. By the way, the master also asked me to ask, will the girl go to the lantern festival tomorrow night?" Xiao Muzi asked.

Every year on the night of the Lantern Festival, there will be a lantern festival in the capital, and the government will cancel the curfew. Everyone, regardless of gender, age or age, can go to watch the lantern festival. Girls from rich families can also watch the lantern festival accompanied by maidservants, and then put lanterns in the river to pray for blessings.No one would say anything, this is also a rare time of the year for ladies and gentlemen to go out and play, so many people will go out to have a look, even the maids of the palace can go out to watch the lanterns.

"I haven't thought about this yet, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Lin Daiyu said, she is not a real child, and it's not that she has never seen a more lively scene than the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, so she is not very keen, and she will decide when the time comes Bar!

"The slave knows, if there is nothing wrong, the slave will leave, and the master is still waiting for the slave to talk?"

"Well, you go back!" Lin Daiyu said.Xiao Muzi saluted and retreated.

"Miss Dongxilin accepted all?" In the eighth prince's palace, Shui Rui asked with a brush dipped in ink in one hand.

"Yes, I've accepted them all." Xiao Muzi replied respectfully.

"Didn't Miss Lin say anything?"

"Miss Lin said to ask the slave to tell the master not to send so many things in the future, and also said..." There was a pause at this point.

"What else?" said the Eighth Prince, his eyebrows raised slightly, his eyes full of menace.

"Also, don't give away so much in the future, she is not a lantern seller!" Xiao Muzi said bravely.

The eighth prince's writing hand paused, the tip of the pen smeared a piece of ink on the rice paper, like an ink-colored plum blossom, he simply put down the pen, did the little girl think he gave too many lanterns?It’s not that he doesn’t like it, it’s not that he doesn’t know what she likes so he gave one of each one. Those lanterns are all made by famous masters, and it’s not so easy to find. Except for her, I really don’t have such a thing. She has bothered to prepare gifts for people, and she still hates it?Aren't children always happier when they have more gifts?Hehe, as expected of the person he likes by Shui Rui, is it really different from other children?

"By the way, what I asked you to inquire about, how did you inquire about it?" The Eighth Prince thought of Lin Daiyu's face with a gentle look, and even his voice was much gentler, and asked the palace servant The basin who came came washed his hands and said, Xiao Muzi hurriedly handed over the towel when he saw this.

"The servant asked, but Miss Lin said she wasn't sure yet."

"That's it!" The Eighth Prince frowned and thought for a while, "You can send someone to inquire tomorrow, and report anytime you have any news!"

"Yes", Xiao Muzi went away in response.

At noon of the second day, Xiao Muzi ran to the Eighth Prince's bedroom out of breath, Shui Rui frowned and said reproachfully, "Why are you in such a hurry, are there any rules?"

Xiao Muzi quickly restrained his expression and said: "The matter that the master asked the servant to inquire about has been settled."

Shui Rui sat up straight when he heard this, and asked, "How's it going?"

"The people sent by the servant said that Miss Lin will go tonight."

"Okay, then you get ready, we'll go tonight too." Shui Rui said with a smile on her face, she hadn't seen that girl for a few days, and she really missed her, and Master Lin stopped giving it to him after entering Layue Lin. He said that the class would start after the Chinese New Year, and he also found an excuse to visit the Lin Mansion twice, but with Master Lin watching, he never saw Sister Daiyu once.Mr. Lin was really on guard against him, and that girl didn't see any affection for her. It seems that her own path is really difficult in the future?But he won't give up, he will be kind to her, and from now on, he will integrate into her life little by little. He believes that even if there are some thorns on his love road, he will eventually usher in a colorful day of falling flowers.

It was night, and the streets and alleys in the capital were brightly lit, and there were festoons everywhere.Lanterns of various colors flowed slowly along the seemingly endless streets with the crowd, converging into a silver river dotted with stars.A little girl with a veil came slowly surrounded by a few maidservants, followed by a few servants. This was Lin Daiyu.Lin Daiyu is wearing a light crimson dress today, which complements the ivory-white veil. She looks graceful and beautiful, and her beautiful eyes are even more tactile.Originally, Lin Daiyu didn't intend to come to the Lantern Festival, but yesterday she said she was thinking about it, it was just perfunctory Xiao Muzi, but she didn't expect that early in the morning, there were a few little maids chatting about the Lantern Festival at night, listening to their description of the Lantern Festival It was so lively and prosperous that Lin Daiyu couldn't help being interested.In the past few years since I came to ancient times, because I have been in the filial piety period and it is inconvenient to go out, I have never visited the ancient lantern festivals?She is really curious. She has visited a lot of modern night markets. She doesn't know what it was like in ancient times. Let's take this opportunity to have a look!

After dinner, Lin Daiyu explained the situation to Lin Ruhai, and brought out a few of her maidservants. She was afraid that if she encountered any trouble, it would be inconvenient for a group of girls, so she brought a few servants along.The crowds are bustling and the streets are bustling.A few people gathered together to guess lantern riddles, a group of people watched juggling in a circle, some in twos and threes were watching shadow puppetry, and some young people hung up lanterns to practice shooting. There were all kinds of entertainment. Lin Daiyu's maids were all dazzled.Children were running around on the street, candied haws sellers and snack sellers shuttled among the crowd shouting and yelling, and people walked and talked with happy smiles on their faces.It's really a scene of prosperity and prosperity!Lin Daiyu also exclaimed in her heart.It turned out that ancient entertainment was so rich, and it was not in vain for her to come here. She was really ignorant, and the folk art of the Celestial Dynasty is really extensive and profound!

"Girl, let's go over there and guess the lantern riddles!" Lv Lotus said, pointing to the row of lanterns next to it.

"Why, haven't you guessed enough at home?" Lin Daiyu asked, this little girl has guessed so many times in the mansion but she didn't get any of them right, is she trying to find confidence outside?I looked at the direction pointed by the green lotus root again. It was a lantern riddle guessing activity carried out by some stores to cater to everyone's entertainment. You only need to pay a penny to guess a lantern riddle at will. If you guess correctly, you can bring the lantern with you. Walk.At this time of the year, everyone will not be stingy with this little money when they go out to the Lantern Festival. Even poor people will spend a couple of pennies to guess. It’s better to guess right, and it’s okay to guess wrong. So the business is good, and some people have gathered in front.

"Oh, girl, how can this be the same? The home is the home, and the outside is the outside. How can it be the same? Maybe the servants can't guess it at home, but they can guess it outside?" Lv lotus root said happily, There is still something in the hand.

"Who said that, I see you, you can't guess it outside, so don't make trouble for the girl." Honglian said.

After hearing Honglian's words, Lvou jumped anxiously, lest Lin Daiyu would not let her go.Seeing the eagerness of the green lotus root, Lin Daiyu signaled Honglian with her eyes to stop teasing her.

"Okay, I didn't tell you not to go, let's go and have a look together." Lin Daiyu said.

"Thank you girl, this servant knows that girl is the best." Lv Ou said cheerfully, and glanced at Hong Lian proudly, meaning that the girl is still facing me.

Honglian shook her head helplessly, when will this little girl grow up?

Before reaching the encircled area of ​​the lanterns, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile: "Young lady, do you want to guess lantern riddles?"

The visitor was a woman who looked to be in her 40s, she nodded to Lin Daiyu and said in a huff.This crimson dress looks like the master of these girls, so she has to take good care of it. She hangs lanterns in Beijing every year to guess riddles, and often meets some young masters and ladies who come out to play. They are all big customers. Rewarding something is more than a year's income.Even if there is no reward, these people will not be stingy with spending money to guess lantern riddles.

"It's my maid who wants to guess, here, it's her!" Lin Daiyu pointed to the green lotus root next to her.

"Oh, so it's this girl who wants to guess." The woman clapped her palms lightly, and pulled the green lotus root as if suddenly enlightened, and said, "Come on, girl, have a look, which one do you like?"

"I like that little monkey's lantern."

Lin Daiyu burst into laughter when she heard this, she likes little monkeys, I think you are a little monkey!

"Girl, what's the matter?" Lv Ou looked at Lin Daiyu suspiciously, then looked back at Hong Lian, Hong Lian couldn't help turning her face away, obviously she was thinking about it with Lin Daiyu, and now Lv Ou was even more confused.

"It's nothing, guess what you like!" Lin Daiyu said with a restrained smile.

"Oh!" Although the green lotus root was puzzled, she was thinking about the lantern riddle after all, so she quickly put the matter aside.

The green lotus root held a lantern, and murmured something in its mouth: "Chaoci Baidi among the colorful clouds, Qianli Jiangling returns in one day. Type an idiom, what is this? Chaogui, Chaohui? No, it's an idiom. Only four characters are required, but what are four characters?" At the end, I scratched my head and scratched my head anxiously, and went around in circles.

Seeing several little maids giggling endlessly, one of them boldly went up to meet her.

"Sister Lvou, would you like me to help you guess?"

"No, no, I have to guess by myself!" Lv lotus hurriedly waved her hands.

"Then I can give my sister a hint. For example, when did Chaoci Baidi Caiyunjian set off? When did you return Qianli Jiangling in one day?"

"Chaoci Baidi Caiyunjian, it means departure in the morning. Qianli Jiangling returns in one day, returns in the evening, I know, it leaves early and returns late, right?"

"This girl is right, she leaves early and returns late." The woman said, she turned around and took off the lantern and handed it to Lv Lotus, saying, "Now this little monkey lantern is yours!"

The green lotus root beamed with joy, took the lantern and showed off everywhere.Lin Daiyu also guessed a few lantern riddles, and Hong Lian could hardly hold the lantern in her hand. As for the other little maids, judging from the lanterns they held in their hands, they knew that they had achieved extraordinary results.Feeling that everyone was having fun, Lin Daiyu asked Honglian to give the woman a few taels of silver, and then planned to leave.After all, it's not easy for people to do business. She took the maid to guess lantern riddles just for fun, but she didn't want to let him accompany Ben.The woman took the money from Honglian with a smile on her face, and sent Lin Daiyu and her party away with gratitude.
