The book is followed last time, and it is said that Sister E is in a matchmaking relationship. Cao Ding and Wei Zixia gathered two couples to make an appointment for dinner tonight.
The middleman, Sister E, doesn’t have to go to this dinner, she is going to have sex with Ruyi and the others tonight.
Women who are sick usually wear white silk jackets, with white silk faces, and their inner thirst is rich and frugal. Common people wear heavy cotton wool. The inner thirst of rich people is filled with all kinds of light and warm furs.
Ruyi and his daughter, and Sister Go’s white silk jackets are all fur coats, but only rouge is a cotton jacket. The rouge is skillful and embroidered red plums on the white silk jacket. The red plums are beautiful. Even ordinary white silk cotton jackets are particularly beautiful.
Ruyi doesn’t like wearing white, she likes red, the better, so she put a big red orangutan felt on her face on her white silk jacket.
At dusk, Ruyi and Sister E, Yanzhi Changsheng got on the carriage, Jixiang and Jiujie sat on the outer shaft to catch the carriage, went to Shichahai, and walked across the bridge and walked through Baijian.
It’s the tenth day of the first lunar month today, and there is no need for a curfew. The carriage is walking on the street, and there are firecrackers and fireworks on the street shops. When Changsheng heard this, he was anxious. Rouge stuffed the cotton ball into Changsheng’s ears and gently patted his back. Changsheng became quiet.
There is a lake here in Shichahai, and the capital city has a unique scenery. Most of them are temples or mansions of wealthy families, villas, etc. The Zhang family also has several real estate properties here.
Therefore, people here have money. It is almost Lantern Festival. Rich families or temples will set up lantern sheds and lantern stands near the door for tourists who are sick at night to watch.
This is also a way to show the strength of the family. Various lamp sheds and lamp stands competed for beauty. The tourists who were sick all over the world were too busy.
Ruyi and others got off the carriage and wrapped Changsheng in the middle. Four women took him away. Changsheng was wearing a brand new moon-white round-neck cotton robe tonight. He looked beautiful, with a pure and confused look, and looked like a lost handsome scholar.
Moon white is actually a light blue color, which looks white under the moonlight, so it is called Moon white. Most men who walk sickly wear Moon white robes, and Auspiciousness and Nine Fingers are no exception.
Because it was inconvenient to drive a carriage in the crowd, it was kept in a nearby carriage. The lessons of the Hunting Temple Fair were not dared to stay away from the auspicious and nine fingers.
Jixiang pioneered the way in front of Ruyi and others, and nine fingers followed behind, surrounding women and Changsheng in the middle, ensuring that everything was foolproof and that they would never get separated again.
The temple’s lantern shed will have words such as “Celebrating the Lantern Festival” and “Happy with the people” on the door post. Hundreds of lotus-cut glasses cut by red paper are lit in the shed, and Buddha’s picture lamps are placed in the middle. From a distance, it looks like a burning Foshan (Note: from Zhang Dai’s “Dream of Tao’an”)
Since Brother Going to the sea, Sister Going, who has never believed in ghosts and gods, always worships every temple, and sees the Buddha in the temple’s lantern shed.To draw the lamp, you must also put your hands together to make a wish, praying to Brother Goose and Yang Shu and the others return safely.
Everyone had something they wanted, so they made wishes to the temple’s lantern shed like Sister Go.
Although there are not as many tourists who come to Shichahai to walk around with all diseases as Zhengyangmen, there are quite a lot of them. They are all wearing white silk jackets or moonlight robes. The crowds are surging, heads and tails are endless. At first glance, it looks like a white dragon squirming.
Almost all wear white, it is easy to see the eyes. The big red orangutan felt on Ruyi’s body is particularly conspicuous than the armor. The nine fingers behind him followed Ruyi’s back, for fear of losing it.
Next to the temple lantern shed is a bridge, surrounded by people across the bridge. When crossing the bridge, they deliberately walked quickly, as if as long as they walked quickly, they could leave the root of the disease behind.
After crossing the bridge, there was a dock. There were people selling river lanterns on the dock. The vendor was very good at doing business. He held the river lantern and shouted, “Put all the bad luck and diseases of the year into the river lantern! Put it, the bad luck will disappear! All diseases will disappear!”
Yanzhi heard this in his heart. She took out her physical money to buy a river lantern, reached out to grab a hand over Changsheng’s head, pretended to put the disease into the river lantern, then lit the river lantern, and put it into Shichahai. In fact, Shichahai had been frozen for a long time and had not yet melted. How could it float out?
The lantern seller would do business and handed a bamboo pole to Rouge, “Use this pole to push the river lantern into the ice, and push it as far as it can.” After pushing it out, when the customer walked away, he went to the ice to get the river lantern back and sold it again!
But even though people who are determined to get rid of the root cause of the disease know that it is a scam, they are willing to enter the game. Yanzhi holds the hand of Changsheng, and the siblings poke the river lantern together with a pole, pushing the river lantern away.
Yanzhi smiled brightly, “But throw away this disease!” Yanzhi was at the age of flowers. She also loved beauty and also liked light and warm leather jackets! Her good friend Ruyi Hongxia Huajiao is wearing a leather jacket, but she doesn’t. In fact, the monthly money and rewards of rouge are enough to buy several leather jackets, but she can’t bear it, so she left it to Changsheng for treatment.
Changsheng didn’t understand what it meant. When he looked at his sister, he laughed, and began to continue the flying flower order, “On the Lantern Festival last year, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day.”
Ruyi smiled and said, “This sentence is good, it’s the Lantern Festival soon. Isn’t it just like the day?”
Everyone talked and laughed all the way, wandering among the lantern sheds. In addition to the temple, there are lantern sheds at the doors of every household, and they also look at who has many lights and beautiful piles.
Because the weather has been very good recently, some families simply don’t even set up sheds, and directly set up lamp holders several stories high. The lamp holders are hung with hundreds of lights. From a distance, they look like a mountain of lights that rises one after another!
Although Ruyi has long been used to watching the lights in the Shili Gallery, she is like a Milky Way when the lights are on in the Summer Palace.”What a beautiful lamp, look, the giant lamp that is as big as a house on the top of the lamp stand can still turn!” “There is a new garden of the Duke’s Mansion in the UK. The Duke’s Mansion is a hundred years old, and the family is rich. This lamp is passed down from our ancestors. When I was as old as you, I came to Shichahai with Aunt Cao and had many diseases, and I saw this giant lamp that could turn.” “No wonder, our Zhang family does not have such good lamps.”
