The jade that pulls the red mansion is also crazy

Autumn turns to winter, and the weather gradually turns cold. The people in Gusu City seem to be extraordinarily excited and restless this winter. People's topics revolve around the Lantern Festival soon to come. Every household sews new clothes in advance and makes For new shoes, the women found jewelry, pearls and other things that they were not willing to take out during the New Year's Eve, and planned to make the best use of them at this grand event.

I heard that this Lantern Festival is actually a gathering of six towns and lanterns in one place in Gusu. Thinking of the wonders of heaven and earth that have not been seen in decades, not to mention ordinary people, even officials and officials, it is hard not to be moved by it.

Lin Ruhai had been busy all day, and finally rushed back when it was dark, and immediately ordered any visits to be rejected. At this time, every small corner of the Lin Mansion had been lit with unique small lamps, falling heart lotus flowers, small sky towers, rabbit candles, all over the sky. There are many stars, and there are many gadgets that cannot be named. You don't have to think about it, and you know whose idea it is.

Daiyu was the first to run out. Today she was wearing a pure white double-breasted jacket embroidered with water lilies, a pair of small white boots with dark patterns, and a warm hat with white fox fur trim. Only her delicate facial features were exposed, and her eyes and teeth were brighter. With picturesque eyebrows, he walked through the long and narrow path sandwiched by green bamboos, threw himself on Lin Ruhai, and said with a crisp smile: "Daddy is back, Yu'er has been waiting impatiently."

Nan Chuan also changed his clothes. Jia Min couldn't stand the wind because of illness, so he didn't go. Lin Ruhai asked, "Have you prepared a horse?" Well, you just take them there."

Lin Ruhai just nodded, because he asked Jia Min not to forget to take medicine, "If we come back late, just go to bed first, don't have to stay up late waiting, it won't help the sick body." Jia Min agreed one by one, and hurried him.

Two horses and a sedan chair had been prepared at the gate. Lin Ruhai first took care of the two children to get on the horse in the sedan chair. When he was about to get on the horse, he saw two people in official uniforms running over in a hurry, followed by a group of people in the distance. Picking up the sedan chair, it was approaching, the servant gasped and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, Master, Master Futai wants to invite Master to go."

Lin Ruhai frowned, besides the few official business, he and the government did not have much contact with each other. Today's Lantern Festival, why did he send people to look for him in the evening?

Seeing that Nanchuan Daiyu was looking at him, he smiled and said: "It's late today, and there are so many pedestrians, it's very inconvenient. Please tell Master Futai that Ruhai will visit tomorrow."

The two showed distressed faces, and said with a smile: "Master, please stop. My lord said that this matter is really important. He can't be alone, so I want to find the master to talk to him. Please, Master Lin, please go to the house."

Lin Ruhai was even more puzzled, and hesitated slightly, thinking that after all, the mansion was a city's most important official, although he didn't need to bow down to please him, but it was not good to force his will, and besides, looking at the expressions and words of the servants, it seemed that there was a big deal , I don't know, so I had to briefly explain a few words to the housekeeper, telling Nanchuan Daiyu, "Daddy has something to do, so I have to go for a while", and got on the sedan chair over there.

The housekeeper here hastily went in and told Jia Min that Daiyu was very reluctant to see Lin Ruhai leaving, but she was sensible since she was a child, and she was not as coquettish and rebellious as usual, but her small mouth could not help but pouted.

Jia Min is naturally worried that her two children will go out at home, "If that's the case, then it's fine." Nan Chuan didn't say anything, Daiyu has been looking forward to the lantern festival since autumn, this Can't go, how can I agree?For a moment, she was so anxious that her eyes were full of tears, and she was so wronged. Jia Min was so entangled that she had no choice but to ask some proper boys and daughters-in-law to follow, give thousands of orders, and repeated entreaties, and then stood at the door and watched as she walked away.

Besides, this Lantern Festival is really different from previous years. On the long main road in Gusu, people are crowded with pedestrians, shouting and laughing, and it is really deafening. The overwhelming lanterns are made into various shapes, peonies, Roses, begonias, snakes, insects, mice, ants, sun and moon mountains, monsters and ghosts, and all kinds of strange and indescribable lamp shapes, dazzling people's eyes, they are all colorful and gorgeous, and the stars and moons in the sky are so beautiful. All covered up without color.

The beautiful Lantern Festival in Gusu has truly become a peerless event that is rarely seen in a lifetime in the eyes of the common people. There are lights, people everywhere, and laughter everywhere. Gusu tonight is like boiling water, everywhere It's all boiling for a long time.

Xiao Daiyu has passed her eyesight addiction today. The big eyes behind the car curtain are wide open, and all kinds of beautiful small lights come into sight. She likes almost all of them. She can't miss them all. She said she would buy them later. This one, I will buy that one later, it didn't take long, the lanterns that had already been spread in the sedan chair, even the arms of the boys were full.

But she still didn't feel that she was enjoying herself enough. When she saw Nan Chuan riding a horse, she wanted to ride too.

There were no more horses left, and Daiyu was acting coquettishly again. Nanchuan couldn't help her "brother" dozens of times, so he had to order someone to hug her on his horse and protect her in front of him.

Immediately, the field of vision was even wider, Daiyu stopped making trouble, clasped her small hands, and leaned comfortably on her small chest behind her, only her little head was left to look left and right, and the soaring braid that came out from the mouth of the hat was drawn across Nanchuan's chin, stroked past.

Nan Chuan has been clean since he was a child, and today he is wearing a pure white gown, a gold-inlaid dark belt, and a small waist. When the people around him see that they are such a pair of snow-like little Bi people. Youpai, with a soft-spoken and soft-spoken, tender and beautiful, all stared at the two of them with a good look, and almost forgot to watch the lantern.

The two children seemed to lose sight of others, and when they reached the middle of the street, Xiao Daiyu sat up straight suddenly, pointed in the air, and shouted: "Brother, look!"

A firework soars into the sky, suddenly bursting into brilliant splendor in the vast night, followed by more fireworks bursting into full bloom, tens of thousands of sparks fluttering and falling, like fireflies in the night sky, colorful and ostentatious, Beautiful.

Pedestrians all stopped to watch. This kind of beautiful scenery made the young Daiyu feel excited and irresistible for the first time. The little girl's face was flushed and her eyes were full of stars. She didn't know how to express it. He folded his hands together, raised his head, and slightly closed his beautiful eyes, and actually recited a certain line of poetry that he didn't know when he learned: "The wind disperses the laurel, as vague as pearls and immortals fall to the moon, and the stars fall into the sea, so far away that I don't know where to go—"

With a snort, Nan Chuan laughed, and stretched out his hand to grab the tip of Daiyu's little nose: "Little fool, it's the fairy bead falling to the moon, and it's the fairy bead."

Xiao Daiyu was a little unconvinced: "Layer laurel is a thing in the cold palace. The one who fell into the moon should be Chang'e. If it is changed to Zhuxian, isn't it better than fairy pearls?"

The naive rebuttal sounded somewhat reasonable, Nan Chuan was left speechless, so he could only smile and shake his head, refusing to share his certificate with her.

At this time, not far away, a pair of hands fiddling with the golden silk lamp suddenly stopped, the boy in white turned his head, his face was like an autumn moon, his eyes were as calm as water, and he stared at the little girl on the horse motionlessly. It is meaningful in the eyes.

The young master who was riding a black pony beside him and wearing a gray brocade suit sneered, "It's really funny, I clearly misremembered it, and I'm still arguing with my tongue, Chang'e fell to the moon, could it be possible that I stumbled? I'll die of joy." Boy Twelve At the age of three, he has a thin body, narrow eyes, and the contempt and mischief of a playboy.

Another young master riding a horse beside him also looked at Daiyu in surprise. The young man looked slightly older than the young master in gray, dressed in a blue embroidered robe, with a condescending arrogance on his face. Hearing the young man in gray, He didn't take it seriously, but he didn't say much, but there was a hint of curiosity in his usual contemptuous eyes for the first time.

The young man in white raised his eyebrows, and said with a leisurely smile, "This is the middle part of article No. 19 of the Nanhuayunjing. She can recite this line at a young age, so it can be seen that the entire Nanhuayunjing has been referenced. In this way, she not only His mind is quite quick and intelligent, and his tutor must be different from ordinary people." He glanced at the gray clothes, as if to say: What do you know.

The blue-clothed boy seemed very unwilling to hear the white-clothed speech. Before the gray-clothed man could speak, he curled his lips and snorted: "You can see this from a wrong line? I think you are making a big deal out of a molehill and pretending to be knowledgeable." Bar?"

Bai Yi was neither angry nor annoyed, he rode his horse leisurely, and said with a leisurely smile: "I am not as knowledgeable as some people, and I can take more than ten blows from reciting a thin book of 'The Way of the King'."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yi's face immediately flushed red, and the forced maturity and composure collapsed, and he regained his childish nature, angrily said: "Thirteen! Don't be so sarcastic, if you didn't lie to me, I would how come--"

"Okay, okay." A handsome man interrupted the disputes among the crowd. This man was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a deep voice, deep eyes, and dressed in a purple Huaxiu robe. Although he didn't like to talk too much, he could However, there is an awe-inspiring aura around him that cannot be concealed, and one can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person.

"Once you are together, it will be uneasy. If you don't stop, I can ask someone to send you back!" He said 'you', but only stared at the blue-clothed boy. As soon as he intervened, 'Thirteen With a smug face, the gray clothes stuck out their tongues and said nothing, only the blue clothes were dissatisfied, snorted, kicked their horses and left first.

After walking for a while, I saw a large group of common people gathered beside the road. There were three floors inside and outside, full of people, and the crowd was shining brightly, and I didn't know what treasure was hidden.

Everyone loves to join in the fun, how can they miss this opportunity?The gray-clothed boy was shouting in front while opening the way, the common people saw that this group of men were well-dressed, they knew they must be from wealthy families, they were angry and dared not speak out, forced them to force a way out and got in.

It turned out that the crowd was surrounded by a meandering golden dragon lantern more than ten meters long. At first glance, there was nothing much to commend it, but when you look carefully, every scale, every limb of the golden dragon is actually They are all made of glass lamps one by one. There are no candles, only the hazy golden light. Tens of thousands of glass lamps converge on the long body of the dragon, and the fire lights in the dragon's feet are shining in clusters. It looks like a golden dragon in the night. It seems to meander and walk, the most noteworthy thing is the exquisite faucet, each beard and hair are carefully crafted slowly, the longan is two bright pearls of the night, the domineering hidden between the beard, hair, eyebrows and eyes, it is eternal Hard to meet system.

There are nearly a thousand lanterns all over Changlong's body, all of which are for sale, but each lantern is marked with a high price. Although there are many people onlookers, very few are willing to pay for it.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, when the four of them were amazed at the exquisite dragon lantern, they all discovered that the little brother and sister in white clothes were also in front of the crowd.

Daiyu especially loved the faucet, and she was eager to ask Nanchuan to buy it. The daughters-in-law who came with her laughed and said, "The sedan chairs are all full, and even the lamps in the hands of the boys are stacked up like a mountain. Such a big faucet lamp is really good." There's nowhere to put it."

Daiyu refused, and asked people to give all the other lanterns to the nearby people for fun, insisting on buying this one.

Nan Chuan has always been obedient to Daiyu, and couldn't bear to flick her enthusiasm, so he dug into his pockets, managed to scrape together enough money for the faucet lamp, and asked the boy to hand it over to the old man who sold the lamp.

Just as they were about to hand over, they saw a gleaming ingot of gold ingots slamming down at the old man's feet. The young man in blue looked proud and lifted his chin slightly: "This dragon head lamp, I want it."

Nan Chuan glanced at the young man, as if turning a blind eye to his bullying arrogance, and said coldly, "We want it first."

The young man raised his lips disdainfully: "Whoever has more money gets it. If that ingot of ingots is not enough, I can get some more."

Almost coincidentally, a kid came out of the two camps together, and they both went to snatch things from the dazed old man holding the faucet lamp.

Daiyu hurriedly shouted: "I want to give this to Daddy, if you rob other people's things, you are good or bad!"

The blue-clothed boy smiled and said, "When we buy the lamp, we also want to give it to daddy. Little sister, you should give it to me. Even if you buy the dragon, head, and lamp, your daddy won't be able to afford it." With a deliberately prolonged tone, he gave Daiyu and Nanchuan a meaningful look.

Xiao Daiyu's face was flushed, she was annoyed for a moment, and said angrily: "My father can't bear it, so your father can bear it?!"

After saying a word, the faces of several teenagers were all terrified, and the gray-clothed teenager shouted: "You are bold!"

Suddenly out of nowhere more than a dozen men in tight plain clothes appeared, all of them armed with swords, crowding around the young man, the crowd fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at these beautifully dressed young men silently, with astonishment in their eyes and speculation.

At the same moment, in the grand and extravagant living room of Mr. Futai, the tea bowl that Lin Ruhai brought to his mouth suddenly paused, and he raised his head and asked, "Is this true?"

Master Li nodded with a wry smile.

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to tell the truth of the matter from the face of the Master Futai, and then the man stood up abruptly: "Master Li is so calm, why didn't you tell me about such an important matter sooner? There are tens of thousands of people at the Lantern Festival, and candles are everywhere, and all elder brothers are all golden and jade, if there is a slight mistake, what should we do?"

Master Li wiped his sweat, his face was full of embarrassment, and he was speechless for a while.
