The eldest grandson of the Red Chamber
Chapter 33 The Lantern Festival
Daiyu just felt a little dazed, feeling that the man's backlit face seemed to be similar, and for a while she couldn't remember why she had such a good face.I can only feel the sound of heartbeats in my ears, and my whole body falls into a mysterious situation, as if something is about to break through the barrier but struggles to break through.Unconsciously makes people flustered, but also inexplicably calm.
Daiyu lowered her head to sort out her chaotic emotions.The man just stood there looking at himself, neither speaking nor coming forward.For no reason, she felt that the person opposite should think the same as herself.
Just as he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a chuckle in his ear.Daiyu was so startled that she quickly raised her head, and saw that the person outside the door had approached at some time.Seeing that she was a little startled, the man took a step back, smiled, saluted immediately, and said in a clear voice, "Mingxu, I have met Miss Lin."
The maze was suddenly broken, and the Lingtai was completely clear.Daiyu smiled lightly, bowed her knees and returned the salute: "Little girl Lin Daiyu, I have met Mr. Ming."
Zijuan couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing: "Girl, Mr. Ming, are you two acting?"
Daiyu blushed immediately when she said that.Isn't the drama about the love between men and women?Zicuckoo was really speechless.
Ming Xu smiled, and did not comment on this sentence.Looking at the little girl who grew up and became more graceful and elegant, she praised: "You look good today." Absolutely sincerely.
I don't know whether it's for the Lantern Festival, or because she doesn't want to disappoint the Ming family's intentions, Daiyu changed her plain clothes in the past, and today she wears a goose yellow dress, which dilutes the coldness between her eyebrows and reveals the beauty of a cardamom girl. It's beautiful, and it contrasts with the white snow in this garden, drawing a picture of white snow and cold plums.
Daiyu didn't expect that a man who looked like a gentle gentleman would say such a simple sentence, she couldn't be ashamed for a while, and said jokingly: "If all the talented people in the world are like you, why don't Hear the sound of Zhongju's firecrackers."
Being ridiculed by the little girl, Mingxu smiled helplessly: "Although I was lucky enough to be a scholar, it is extremely vulgar, so that you can know in advance and prepare for it in the future." It's fine for the couple to be in charge of literature and art.
What do you do to prepare for the future?Ready to live together?Daiyu was struck speechless by the straight ball, wanting to say that this person is shameless and unable to speak.It was Zicuckoo who got out of the siege: "Girl, Mr. Ming, if you have something to say, you might as well talk later. Stand here and block the door."
So Mingxu led Daiyu to the carriage, the carriage was parked outside the second gate, and he could directly drive out of the mansion through the back gate.
Daiyu frowned as she looked at the carriage parked at the corner with the family emblem engraved on it.Zijuan asked Mingxu: "Why is there only one car?"
"It doesn't look obvious from the outside, but it's spacious inside." Mingxu smiled and explained, seeing Daiyu frown, it made people think he was frivolous, so he said again: "You just go in and sit, Changan and I are outside."
Of course Zijuan couldn't let him go outside, she looked at Daiyu's face, she thought they would travel together in the end, and it was nothing to ride in the same car, there were so many people.So he said a few words, and told Ming Xu to get into the car.
Let the girl go in first, Mingxu finally got into the carriage, leaving Changan to drive the carriage, after a few years, Changan is also a veteran.
The interior of the car is really spacious, two nuns sit in the innermost part, Zijuan Xueyan sits in the middle with Daiyu, Mingxu enters the outermost side.There is some space left in the car, and some exquisite gadgets are placed to pass the time.
"Has my sister eaten dinner?" Mingxu pointed to the pastries on the table: "You can use these as a cushion first." He opened his mouth casually, like two people who have been together every day, not for a few years not see.
Daiyu wanted to refuse, but she didn't want to be too reserved, so she twisted a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.I just feel that the entrance is dense, refreshing and not greasy.It's not like the handwriting of the cook at home, but it has a bit of the pastry that Baoyu eats out and occasionally brings to the sisters.
"My younger sister looks much better than when we met in the past few years, and she may have suffered from illness again in the past few years." Seeing that Daiyu stopped taking after eating two yuan, Ming Xu greeted her.
"The doctor's daughter given to me by my father checked her from time to time, but she never relapsed, and the old illness seems to have disappeared." Daiyu felt that Ming Xu's eyes were a bit scorching, so she casually took a nine-link ring on the side wall to play with.
"My sister would find it boring what she does at home on weekdays." Mingxu continued to search for topics, but there was no way, they hadn't seen each other for three years, even though they exchanged letters, they were unfamiliar!
"On weekdays, I read and write, and play with my sisters."
Since there are people from Jia's mansion, it's not easy for Mingxu to directly ask if he has been wronged.Realizing that speaking with Daiyu is a question and an answer.Ming Xu smiled and said: "Sister thinks I'm annoying. I think I'm asking my sister like an elder. The relatives who come to the house during the Chinese New Year always ask the same questions. They always say the same thing. Change the soup without changing the medicine. .”
After Mingxu finished speaking, he summed up a few words that the adults asked the juniors, imitating them vividly, which made Daiyu smile.
"I look the same around the house, Brother Ming, why don't you tell me about the outside world, even though I read the travel notes, it's not true after all." Daiyu offered to say.
So Ming Xu talked about the interesting things about his study tour that he had told countless times.Because Daiyu knew a little bit about it, every time she said something, she sometimes got it right, and they exchanged and answered with Mingxu, which was harmonious.
The car stopped for about two quarters of an hour, Ming Xu got out of the car first, stood still and stretched out his hand behind him.Daiyu stretched out her hand to support his arm and jumped down.
As soon as she got off the car, she heard noises. Daiyu raised her eyes and saw that it was an extremely wide street with various shops on both sides.What's even more rare is that not far away is sparkling like a lake.
It's just getting dark, and it hasn't become lively yet, but the festive atmosphere of the Lantern Festival can already be seen.The vendors are busy preparing for the evening business, and they all speak with uncontrollable smiles.Daiyu also saw red silk hanging on a table that was about to be set up, which seemed to be a gimmick made by a clever store to take advantage of the festive season.
Today's Lantern Festival, ladies who usually don't leave the gate rarely come out to let the wind go, and there are many young men and women walking on the street generously, which is a sight that you can't see on weekdays.
When Daiyu was young, she often pretended to be a boy to join in the fun with Lin Hai, she was quite familiar with these things, and she didn't show any inappropriate expressions.
After ordering Chang'an to entrust the carriage to a peddler on the street who was in charge of the vehicles, Mingxu took Daiyu to the alley. "I haven't been in Beijing for a few years. Things in the capital are changing rapidly, and they are very different from when I was young." Mingxu stopped in front of a small shop, "I asked my younger brother who was at home specifically before I came. , he said that the Lantern Festival at this restaurant is the most authentic, since it’s out, my sister might as well try it.” Mingxu was still thinking about Daiyu not eating.
Daiyu also walked through the city of Yangzhou when she was young, and she didn't feel bad about this kind of street food, so she nodded and chose a seat to sit down.
Ming Xu yelled to the proprietress who was busy before the case, "Shopkeeper, serve a bowl of Lantern Festival, a bowl of chaos, and some side dishes." Although he lived in Jiangnan for several years, Ming Xu still prefers the taste of the north. I don't like those sweet ones either.After he finished speaking, he didn't forget about Zijuan, "What do the girls and mothers want to use, just report it, and when it's time to hold the lamp, it will be lively."
Zijuan took the initiative to sit at the table next to her, and the two nuns followed suit without saying anything.
The group of them came early, and there were not many people in the small shop. After hearing the order, the proprietress went to the back kitchen to work.
She is dexterous, a few bowls and plates were brought out quickly, Mingxu took it, and put the bowl of white and tender Lantern Festival in front of Daiyu, while she was a bowl of wontons.There are four dishes, stir-fried bean sprouts, dry-stir-fried beans, braised eggplant, and a pickled radish that seems to be homemade.It is really embarrassing to ask for green leaves in this kind of store in winter.
Ming Xu came for dinner, but at this time he was just eating with Daiyu, he didn't eat much, but he was watching people carefully.
It doesn't make much difference whether Mingxu eats a bowl of wonton or not.Daiyu had leftovers, one or two for the Lantern Festival would be fine, but the proprietress gave enough portions, even though there were a few dishes to relieve the tiredness, she still couldn't finish it.
Seeing Daiyu put down her chopsticks, Mingxu asked her: "But is it ready?" Daiyu nodded.Mingxu brought over the bowl in front of Daiyu, and finished off the remaining white tenders with a few strokes.
Looking up at Daiyu's surprised eyes, Mingxu smiled, "I see that the proprietress is such a simple and honest person, if she is left, she will be unhappy. My sister minds but it's too late. "Ming Xu said and lit the bottom of the bowl.
"You asked me after you've done it." Daiyu didn't show anything on her face, but she was thinking in her heart that after not seeing him for a few years, this person has become more and more insane, how can she act like this, and she is not afraid of being laughed at.
But no one made jokes, and the scattered customers in the store all had common expressions.The young couple are very close, and their relationship is very good.
A few people had eaten, and then returned to the street, the lights were already brightly lit, and the number of people gradually increased, Mingxu and Daiyu walked side by side in the crowd, many boys and girls like them came and went.
Looking at the lanterns in many people's hands, Mingxu stopped at a stall, pointed to a row of various lanterns on the shelf and asked Daiyu, "Which one does my sister like?"
Affected by the lively atmosphere, Daiyu couldn't help becoming interested. She knelt down and carefully selected, and finally chose a naive pig.
It's not to blame for her strange aesthetics, but because she has a high vision, and she really doesn't like the painting level of ordinary traders. This dolphin can barely be called delicate.
Mingxu saw her embarrassment, so he didn't rush to pay, and asked the lamp vendor, who was a middle-aged man. "Can I do it now?"
"What do you want, young master? If you don't have one, it doesn't matter if I make one for you now." The man also saw that Mingxu and Ming Xu's backgrounds might be extraordinary, and it's common to look down on them, so he said kindly .
"Is there anyone who wants a fairy to come down to earth?"
The man pointed to a few lanterns on the shelf and on the ground, "Master, these are pictures of fairies, why don't you take a look?"
Mingxu shook his head, "Those are too ugly, I want someone like her." Mingxu pointed to Daiyu and said.
It was not the first time for the man selling the lamp to meet noble guests, and he knew the rules, so he didn't stare at Daiyu before.With Jing Mingxu's pointing finger, he raised his eyes to look at Daiyu, and then he was startled, not daring to look closely.
Smiling to Ming Xu: "The painting is so rough, it is indeed not as good as a real fairy, my son is very lucky."
Sensing Daiyu's faint glance, Ming Xu smiled.Facing the stall owner, he said, "I'll start writing. You can use it to make a new one. Just ask if you can?"
"Of course it's possible, as long as you don't think the pen and ink are crude." The stall owner said as he gave up the small machine with the paper next to it.
Daiyu lowered her head to sort out her chaotic emotions.The man just stood there looking at himself, neither speaking nor coming forward.For no reason, she felt that the person opposite should think the same as herself.
Just as he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a chuckle in his ear.Daiyu was so startled that she quickly raised her head, and saw that the person outside the door had approached at some time.Seeing that she was a little startled, the man took a step back, smiled, saluted immediately, and said in a clear voice, "Mingxu, I have met Miss Lin."
