The Red Mansion Becomes Lin Daiyu

A few people walked all the way to enjoy the scenery on the street, and soon they came to an arched stone bridge. The two sides of the bridge were also covered with lanterns. The bustling crowd passed the bridge leaving a few noises, and some stood on the bridge. Looking far away.In the distance, there is a group of women walking towards the stone bridge, holding incense candles in groups and slowly passing by, and the stars are reflected in the night sky, which seems real and unreal, making people mistakenly think that the Nine Heavens Milky Way has fallen into the sky. Among the mundane.Lin Daiyu felt strange, is this the legendary all kinds of diseases?She read in the book that on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, women often make an appointment to go out for a walk at night, and they will cross the bridge as soon as they see it. ", "Dispelling all diseases" and so on, this is an activity to eliminate disasters and pray for health.But it's only popular among the people, and the aristocratic class will never do such demeaning things.

Everything is the unity of opposites, the so-called interdependence of good and bad is the truth.The aristocracy enjoyed a life of great wealth and wealth, but they were not as free as the common people.Along the way, Lin Daiyu saw many women running small businesses in public, and the girls from ordinary families didn't say anything about going out of their homes.Although they are materially poor, their lives are much freer than those of the upper class ladies.As the saying goes, God has always been fair. When he gave you a good life, he took away your freedom by the way.

"Girl, is that all kinds of illnesses? I have only heard about it but haven't seen it?" a little maid asked.

"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen you, girl?" Lin Daiyu watched the crowd gradually go away, her thoughts also gradually drifted away, and she answered vaguely for a long time.

"Then are they that useful?"

"What is useful or not, I just ask for psychological comfort." Lin Daiyu withdrew her gaze from a distance. Anyway, the lives of those people have nothing to do with her. With such a chance to live again, she just needs to live as she pleases. Alright, I calmed down thinking of this, turned my head and said, "Let's go, let's go and see other places!"

"Girl, where are we going?" Honglian asked.

"Of course it's a must-go place when visiting the Lantern Festival." Lin Daiyu thought for a while, rolled her eyes and said pretending to be mysterious.

"Ah, girl, you mean to see the giant lantern?" Honglian said suddenly.

"That's right, if you don't see the giant lantern while visiting the Lantern Festival, wouldn't you enter Baoshan and return empty-handed?" Lin Daiyu smiled mischievously, she had wanted to see how majestic the giant lantern really is, but But I never had a chance before, now that I have come this time, of course I can't miss it.It turns out that every year during the Lantern Festival, the emperor would order people to make giant lanterns, with a height of more than 150 feet. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor would turn on the lights of the Lantern Festival to have fun with the people, and then let people put the giant lanterns on the bank of the canal side, to pray for good weather in the coming year.Giant lanterns are also called praying lanterns among the people. There has always been a tradition of putting lanterns in the river to pray for blessings. Later, some people put river lanterns around the giant lanterns to pray for blessings from the royal family. Over time, a habit has also formed. , the giant lamp naturally has the name of the blessing lamp.

"Okay, let's go to see the giant lantern, and then we can release the river lantern to pray for blessings?" The little maids agreed one after another.

When Lin Daiyu was approaching the edge of the canal, she vaguely felt a trace of familiarity. If I remember correctly, it should be the Eighth Prince. She pretended to glance back casually, and she saw a touch of navy blue brocade clothes , Who else could it be if it wasn't the Eighth Prince?Since he didn't stop her, Lin Daiyu simply ignored him and continued to walk forward, paying attention to his actions with her consciousness, and found that he had been following her for about twenty steps, not far or near, and could observe Her movements can hide himself very well.Lin Daiyu couldn't help but hooked her lips into a smile, heh, this Eighth Prince is really real, he didn't show up when he came, did he think he wouldn't be able to find out?

"Brother Rui, since you're here, why don't you show up?" Lin Daiyu suddenly stopped talking.

As soon as Lin Daiyu finished speaking, a young man dressed in brocade came out of the crowd, with a jade crown tied into his hair, sword eyebrows in his beard, and a crystal clear jade pendant hanging around his waist. He was holding a folding fan and waving it casually.From the back view, it gives people a kind of graceful attitude, but those who have seen his face will know that he is not just a banished fairy who accidentally fell into the world, but also a king who looks down on the world. Eyes that exude raging fire are not something ordinary people can have.

"Seeing sister Daiyu having so much fun, I didn't want to disturb her. I didn't expect my sister to notice it so soon. It's my fault for disturbing my sister's interest." Speaking of this, the young man's face couldn't help but twitch. Embarrassed, he heard the report that Daiyu's younger sister had left the mansion, so he ran over immediately. As soon as he entered the bustling street, he saw Lin Daiyu in crimson clothes surrounded by several servant girls.She was chatting and laughing with the maid beside her, with a warm smile on one side of her face, her eyes blinked lightly, and her eyelashes drove the surrounding air to fluctuate, as if there was a mysterious force that touched people's hearts.Shui Rui's mind was taken away in an instant, her every move was so pleasing to the eye, and her heart, which had been cold for a long time, seemed to be warmed.I don't know what kind of bewilderment it was, Shui Rui didn't even remember to say hello.He only knew that he was foolishly following behind her, and wanted to see where she was going, but he didn't expect to reveal his secret after just a few steps.This is the first time he has done this kind of behind-the-scenes thing when he grows up. He didn't expect his skills to be so poor, but that girl is really sharp enough.

In fact, this is really not his fault. Lin Daiyu's observation ability is not comparable to that of ordinary people.This is the difference between monks and ordinary people, the difference in absolute power.

"Brother Rui doesn't have to say that, anyone can come to this street, how can I blame you? I have to thank Brother Rui for the lantern?" Lin Daiyu said.

"Hehe" Shui Rui smirked twice, closed the exquisite folding fan with some embarrassment and said, "Sister Daiyu is polite, didn't my sister also give me something?"

"In that case, the two of us are even." Lin Daiyu waved her hands, but there was a playful smile on her face.

Uh, Shui Rui was stunned for a moment, did he shoot himself in the foot with a stone? What he wants is not to get even with this girl, it's better to get even with this girl forever!Looking back and seeing Lin Daiyu's half-smile expression, she knew that she had been tricked, and she was not annoyed, she just said: "How can it be fair, although the lantern I gave was made by a famous artist, it is not the only one, Dai Sister Yu's gift is unique, so I owe it to you!"

"Really, so I'm still Brother Rui's creditor. If I fall in love with something from Brother Rui in the future, don't be reluctant!" Lin Daiyu also said jokingly, all kinds of rare treasures in her space There are countless, and it is rare in the world to take out any one at random.She didn't think that she would like something about the Eighth Prince, but it didn't hurt to talk about it.

"Of course, as long as sister Daiyu likes it, I have no reason not to give it up." Shui Rui said with a smile, "Is my sister going to see the giant lantern?"

"Yeah, it's been a few years since I've been in the capital, and I haven't seen it once. It just so happens that I'm going to see it this time. Brother Rui must have seen it!"

"I only saw a few times when I was in the palace, but I really haven't seen the ones outside the palace. If my sister doesn't mind, can I go the same way?" Shui Rui looked at Lin Daiyu with a questioning face after speaking.

"Since elder brother Rui has such an elegant mood, Daiyu should accompany him."

Lin Daiyu and Shui Rui followed the crowd to the side of the canal soon, and saw the enlarged version of the lantern from a distance. It really is a giant lantern, which is several stories high, fixed by two giant long logs, high Hanging on the shore, it illuminates the night sky several miles away.The workmanship is very delicate, it is the style of an octagonal palace lantern, the frame is carved into a hollow pattern from high-quality mahogany, and the surrounding is covered with hairpin yarn, which can prevent wind well without affecting the brightness, and the yarn is embroidered with dragon and phoenix In the auspicious picture, the majestic golden dragon is proudly tossing, and the exquisite colorful phoenix is ​​spinning and looking back, all of them are full of vitality, as if they are about to take off in a moment.Rao Lin Daiyu has seen many exquisite lanterns produced under modern high technology, and she has to admit that comparing with this simple and simple lantern, it is really different!The ancient craftsmanship is really not built, it is really a miracle, Lin Daiyu thought.

"How about it, sister Daiyu, isn't this lantern majestic enough?" Lin Daiyu was staring blankly, when suddenly a majestic voice sounded in her ear, before she had time to think, she just nodded blankly.

"Hehe..." Seeing Lin Daiyu's expression, Shui Rui couldn't help laughing twice, causing Lin Daiyu to roll her eyes, and quickly restrained her smile.He pretended to cough, cleared his throat, and said, "This lantern is made by Gu Shifu, a well-known lantern master in Beijing. Master Gu's lantern making is an ancestral handicraft. It is exquisitely carved and exquisitely designed. Two days ago, I sent someone to send it to my sister." The palace lanterns in my hand are in batches."

"Ah, isn't that very rare?" Lin Daiyu asked in surprise, it turned out that the lantern was made by a famous artist, no wonder it is so exquisite, I really need to study it carefully when I get home, the Eighth Prince is also true, why don't you explain it?

"The lanterns made by Master Gu are unique in the capital, but they can't be said to be very rare. Many noble families have them. Besides, the lanterns are meant to be used. Could it be that they are left unused because they are rare?" Shui Rui said.

"That's true." Lin Daiyu nodded.It is estimated that for those nobles, no matter how capable a person is, he is nothing more than a commoner. He serves them, and no matter how exquisite the things are, they are not worthy of their collection!

A lot of girls gathered densely on the river bank next to the giant lantern, and they were holding various river lanterns and lighting them up to pray for blessings.Lin Daiyu saw that the little maids were all ready to move, so she told them to go play separately. The little maids got Lin Daiyu's order and cheered and scattered, and they all rushed to release the river lantern. Only Honglian was really good. Side attendant.

"Sister Daiyu isn't going to light the lamp?" Shui Rui asked.

"Everyone went to put the lanterns, just because they had a wish in their hearts, so I won't join in the fun." Lin Daiyu said.

"Don't sister Daiyu have any prayers in her heart?" Shui Rui asked.

"Everyone has a wish in their hearts, and of course I do too, but I think the fate of a person should be in their own hands, not on the hopes of the gods!" Lin Daiyu said leisurely, glancing at the sky.

Shui Rui was stunned for a moment, should the fate of a person be in his own hands, heh, who said otherwise, he is not as good as a little girl, um, she is indeed the girl she likes, her knowledge is extraordinary!
