The struggle for rebirth is in the harem

Chapter 43

I have to say that Lin Yuqiao was shocked when she left the house for the first time.

Although I sat in the carriage the whole time, I didn't have a chance to get out of the carriage to have a look.

Sitting in the same car as Lin Yuqiao, besides her nanny Fang and her maid Chifeng, was the second young lady Lin Yumei, and one of her nanny and a maid.

Lin Yuqiao and Lin Yumei, the second young lady, looked at each other with disgust. After greeting each other, they said nothing to each other.

Lin Yumei didn't really like Lin Yuqiao at all, but because of the quarrel between Lin Yuqiao and Lin Yuxuan, Lin Yuxuan poured out a lot of bad things about Lin Yuqiao, and the dissatisfaction between Mrs. Li and her second wife He Qingfang The harmony has become too much to hide, and now even the superficial friendship with Lin Yuqiao is gone.

However, Lin Yuqiao had no intention of talking to Lin Yumei, and secretly opened a crack in the curtain of the carriage, as if seeing the scenery of another world.

There are many tourists on the street, red lanterns are hung in front of the shops, and some flags are erected in front of the doors, flying in the wind.The restaurants are even more overcrowded, and the upper floors of the second floor are full of diners watching the scenery.

There are small stalls on both sides of the street with lanterns of various colors, and there are crowds of people around a few circles, who are watching the lanterns and guessing riddles, hanging together with the lanterns, and there are Shengxiao, pens and inkstones. class color head.

Occasionally, literati and elegant scholars spontaneously set up tables and chairs, and put up their own homemade lanterns. There are words and pictures on the lamps. Those who guess the riddles can take the lamps away, or they can make friends with each other if they meet a fate. Fan.

The few streets I passed were full of moonlight lights and popular cigarettes.In the hustle and bustle, suddenly the flow of people retreated, everyone was crowded together, and the clothes of the passing pedestrians were even very close to Lin Yuqiao's car window.

It turned out that there was a parade performance in front of the street. Accompanied by lively music, a group of performers passed through the middle of the street one after another.

The people in the previous section are all walking on stilts, wearing colorful clothes, and wearing all kinds of weird and exaggerated masks. In the middle is a shoulder sedan chair carried by four people. On the sedan chair sits a young girl dressed as a goddess, dressed in white sand, There are also plum blossom-shaped flower tents on the forehead, and musicians beating gongs and drums behind them, all dressed in black, with thick green belts around their waists.

"What kind of play is this?"

Amid the din of drums and music, Lin Yuqiao pointed to the performance outside and asked Nanny Fang.

"This is an old trick of our Shangyuan Festival here. Because it is only seen in Jingluo, it is called Luokun Opera. The old people say that if the Goddess Kun is invited, the family will be peaceful for a year."

When the last drum team had dispersed and the carriage was moving slowly, Lin Yuqiao felt very itchy looking at the rabbit lanterns on the street and the flying carousel lanterns, so she asked Mother Fang to go down and buy one for her. .

Mother Fang refused at first, but later she couldn't resist her acting like a baby, so she asked the boy sitting in front to buy her two lamps.

"Huh." Seeing Lin Yuqiao sending people to buy lamps, Lin Yumei was very disdainful, and secretly felt that Lin Yuqiao was so unworthy of the stage, she just cared about those rags.

Lin Yuqiao felt that Lin Yumei's snort was very provocative, and she was planning to give her another light to let her go, but now she immediately stopped thinking.

Looking happily at the revolving lantern she bought, Lin Yuqiao couldn't help admiring the craftsmen of this era.There is no machine, no assembly line, and every exquisite handmade product they make is unique.

The appearance of this revolving lantern is the frame of a palace lantern, with three rows of silk fabrics inside and outside, thick candles fixed inside, and an air fan on the top. The ever-changing flowers bloom on the sky.

The carriage turned around in the market without stopping, and went back directly. It was originally to take them to watch the excitement.
