Daiyu through the Red Mansions

Chapter 59

As mentioned last time, Shui Rong went back to Beijing and sat quietly in the side hall to secretly feel sad, while Daiyu bathed and fasted in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, burning incense and praying for God to bless Brother Rong's safe return.

Seeing Daiyu's thin body, Qiu Chan, Xueyan and the others felt very sad.

Today is Qixi Festival, Qixi Festival is also known as the Qiqiao Festival. It is said that the seven fairies are ingenious, and women all over the world pray to the seven fairies for their exquisite skills on this day, which is called "Qiqiao".

On this day, many colorful celebrations will be held in various parts of the city, and young men and women will also meet and play together on this day.

Ever since Mother Jia understood what Daiyu was thinking, Concubine Beijing also took Daiyu to the mansion every now and then, but Daiyu was much more free than the other girls who were close relatives.

With no water solution and life and death uncertain, Daiyu is not in the mood to play.Qiuchan and the others were soft-hearted, hoping that Daiyu would go out to relax, but Daiyu had no choice but to comply.Several people modified slightly, and Daiyu left Jia's mansion wearing a veil.

"Look, girl, the dough is really well made."

"OK."

"Look, girl, this fan is not as good-looking as a girl."

"OK."

……

"Look, girl, there are lantern riddles over there, you're right, girl, let's go there."

"OK."

"Girl, let's take a break when you come out. The prince is blessed with great destiny, and auspicious people have their own appearance. Not only the palace, but also the emperor sent people, and the young master followed. What can happen. The young master has the ability and the girl has it." Don't worry, since the young master didn't send the letter, nothing happened."

Qiu Chan, Xueyan and the others dragged Daiyu through the crowds, trying every means to arouse Daiyu's interest, but all they got was two words, "En, good." Qiu Chan and the others couldn't help feeling bitter.

"Yes, girl, relax. If the prince is back and the girl is so thin now, wouldn't it make him feel bad." Xue Yan echoed.

"Okay, let's go." Daiyu listened, and put away her anxiety for the time being.

"Well, okay, girl, let's go over there. There are lantern riddles over there. Let's win some big lanterns."

Seeing that Daiyu was finally willing to listen to the persuasion, Qiuchan said happily, and dragged Daiyu to the place where she was guessing lantern riddles.

When we got there, there were a lot of people, and there were laughter and curses from time to time.Qiu Chanxueyan protected Daiyu and managed to squeeze in, only to see a large platform covered with all kinds of lanterns, such as:

Dice lamps, round lamps, off-knife lamps, rabbit lamps, and Weaving Girl lamps are made of paper, yarn, and glass. There is a half-foot red silk hanging under each lamp, and the riddle is written on it. If someone guesses it correctly, it will be natural. get that lamp.

The most eye-catching thing is the giant revolving lantern placed on the platform. As the lamp turns, the villains on it interpret the story of "The Romance of the West Chamber".The vivid movements and expressions, coupled with the fact that someone behind the lamp is dubbed a double spring, added a bit of fun.

Daiyu was also very happy to see it, and finally showed a smile. Qiu Chan secretly nodded and said with a sigh of relief: "Miss, why don't we take a look at the revolving lantern, win it back and put it in the yard for him to turn up and down every day?" , It’s also good to have fun.”

"Oh? It's such a big lantern. I'm afraid it won't take a few big men to transport it away. It's you who take it back, or I take it back. It's just what happens if you win."

Although Daiyu was moved, she shook her head and said as she looked at the volume that was as tall as a person and hugged by three or four people.

"This girl, that means it's intentional. You might as well make a guess. If you're right. The old man not only has 100 taels of silver to offer, but also can send someone to deliver this lamp to the girl's house." A wealthy old man looked at Daiyu from the outside. Several people smiled.

"Thank you, old man. There is no need for the pattern of silver. I really like this lamp." Seeing the old man with a big belly and a red face, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, Daiyu also relieved a lot of depression in her heart and said with a smile.

"Haha, you can guess as much as you want, the old man keeps his word." The big belly Maitreya said confidently, patted his belly.

"Okay, please come up with a question." Seeing that funny look, Daiyu became more and more pleasing.

"Go to the riddle." The big belly Maitreya patted his chubby hand, and a maid came up from behind with a tray in her hand. The old man took the red silk from the tray and unfolded it with a bang open.I saw it said:

"One, the monkey stands lightly on the top of the tree.

[-]. The body is upright and the body is hard.Although you can't speak, you must answer what you say.

[-]. It can make demons and demons utterly shattered, their body like a bundle of silk, and their energy like thunder.A loud sound made people frightened, but looking back at the prime minister, it turned into ashes.

[-]. Heavenly fortune. People have endless skills, and it is rare to meet those who have merit but no luck.Because of the chaos in Hezhen every day, it is only because of the different numbers of yin and yang.

[-]. When the children under the steps face up, the Qingming makeup is the most suitable.Gossamer is broken and weak, don't complain to Dongfeng for parting.

Sixth, the former body has always failed in form, and does not listen to Lingge or Buddhist scriptures.It is impossible to sink into the black sea in this life, and there is a great light in one's nature.

[-]. Whoever brings two sleeves of cigarettes at the end of the court will never have a chance in the quilt by the side of the qin. There is no need for a chicken man to report for Xiaochou, and there is no trouble for the maid for five nights.Jiaoshou returned from morning to evening, and his heart was tormented day after year. "

Everyone looked at it and shook their heads, took the prepared paper and pen and secretly wrote it and handed it to the outsider. Some guessed one or two, at most five, but no one got the big revolving door.Seeing this scene, the fat man became more and more proud and smiled:
"Today's Qixi Festival, I will ask you to guess seven riddles. If you guess correctly, the old man will not only send the lantern to your residence for free, but also have 300 taels of silver. Everyone can guess as much as they want, and it will be a lot of fun." After talking, I laughed Hehe stood aside and glanced at the crowd triumphantly.

Qiu Chanxueyan saw Daiyu and thought about it for a while, only to see Daiyu nodding and smiling, and the two of them understood.Xueyan took a pen and paper and began to write, and after a while, all seven of them were obtained. The fat man looked at it, his heart was shocked, and the muscles on his face trembled and said:

"The girl is really smart, she is not bad. I don't know where the girl's house is, so I can send someone to the house."

Seeing that Daiyu and the others could answer correctly, they naturally refused to obey and started arguing.Daiyu didn't pay attention, just looked at the fat man and smiled slightly: "Where did this mystery come from, and where did you send it."

The old man froze when he heard the smile and said: "Young lady is joking, you are joking." But he didn't dare to ask any more, so he hurriedly asked someone to present 300 taels of silver and handed it to Daiyu. Daiyu smiled and ordered Xueyan to take it. Turn around and leave.

The fat old Maitreya didn't dare to stop him, everyone hurriedly moved away, and when Daiyu walked away, the old man waved his hand and came up to someone, the two whispered, and that person chased Daiyu away.

"Girl, I'm afraid it's the second master Bao who told the riddle again, or it would be exactly the same as what Jia's mansion said during the Lantern Festival." Qiu Chan frowned.
