On the day of the Lantern Festival, there are lanterns everywhere in the capital, and there are lantern festivals everywhere, especially the lanterns in the East City are the most famous.

On this day, no matter how old-fashioned the family in Beijing is, they will also allow the female dependents of the family to go out to play, there is no curfew that night, the lantern night market is all night long, and the entire imperial capital carnival all night long.

Lu Binrou has been fascinated by the Lantern Festival in Beijing for a long time, she was still young before she left Beijing, and she can't remember what the situation of the Lantern Festival is, and now that she has returned to the capital, she naturally refuses to miss such a grand occasion, and she just sat and waited for the door as soon as it was dark.

Mu Yang looked at her impatiently, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't worry, the house is going out to watch the lights today, just the winter solstice is coming and going, the ladies are still dressing up, the girl should not be anxious, and wait." ”

Lu Binrou nodded, and Muyang said again: "The girl forgives the maid for talking too much, in Muyang's opinion, the girl's dress is still too plain at this time, and the lights are bright at night, so the girl should have thicker makeup and more beautiful clothes, which is more appropriate." ”

Lu Binrou hesitated a little and said: "Although it should be so, I plan to stay in the Shengxingmen House Lamp Tower for a while, and then go to the East Market to watch the lanterns...... It's not good to dress up too conspicuously. ”

Muyang said with a smile: "Girl, please rest assured, although all the nobles will go to Shengxingmen tonight, except for the old ladies and ladies who will stay in their own lamp towers, the younger ones should go to the market to watch the lights. ”

Lu Bin said: "That's right, Jingzhong is gorgeous and complex, and the girls I've seen are eager to shake their heads and drag their heads, if I blindly seek convenience, it's too simple, but it looks different." That's it, Mu Yang called Heyi to come, give me a change of makeup, but the hair clothes are still as simple as possible, just ask for Sheng'anmen, if you see other family members are not rude. ”

Mu Yang nodded in response.

Heyi was teaching her to comb her hair in the room of the second-class girl Chundui, and was about to leave after the explanation, when she met Muyang to look for her. She listened to Lu Binrou's meaning relayed by Muyang, and said with a smile: "I already understand what the girl meant, and it will definitely not be rude and convenient." ”

After grooming, Lu Binrou looked at herself in the mirror carefully, and said with a smile: "Heyi is really good at craftsmanship, and Muyang is also a good eye, so good, good." ”

Lu Binrou doesn't often praise people like this, and today she actually praised her twice in a row, so Mu Yang, who has always been indifferent, also showed the joy of being affirmed, Su Ri's somewhat pale face floated with a light flush, and the two pear vortices at the corners of his mouth were very sweet.

Lu Binrou happened to see it, stroked her palms and smiled: "Muyang is so beautiful now, she should smile more in the future, the little girl's family should be more lively." Now if you let that person ...... like this? Ah, let Gong see it on his own, I guess he will have to ask for it in front of me tomorrow......"

Mu Yang's face was even more flushed, and he hurriedly interrupted her unfinished words and said, "How can the girl say such a thing, if the lady hears it, she will definitely be angry with the slave and the maid and other people around her for bringing bad girls." And the girl is younger than Muyang, and now she comes to make fun of the slave maid......"

Lu Binrou pinched her and said with a smile: "Who made Sister Muyang always put on a detached and indifferent appearance on weekdays, and now I finally seize an opportunity to make fun of you and see how nervous you are." It's okay, I wouldn't talk like that in front of my mother, and if I heard it for her, I wouldn't have to talk about it for a long time. ”

Mu Yang nodded and said: "The girl really can't talk like this in front of Madame, and in fact, the girl shouldn't talk like this anywhere, in case outsiders hear it, people who don't know the girl's temperament may think that the girl is not dignified......"

Lu Binrou looked at her again, touched her chin and said regretfully: "Muyang, if you see me outside with the Hou Ye, I guess you will faint." ”

Mu Yang didn't expect her to say such a sentence, and said in a daze: "Huh? "I can't react.

Lu Binrou looked at the rare stupidity of her maid, and laughed breathlessly, she shook her head while laughing, when she was in the border city, her father was surrounded by people in the army, and his speech was quite unscrupulous. When her father first took her, those uncles were a little taboo and restrained, and after a long time, her original form was revealed, and she felt that she was still young and didn't understand anything, so she didn't say more rude words, and sometimes her head was hot and forgot to avoid her, and came to her for a while.

Lu Binrou was also very unaccustomed to it at first, but later she got used to it after a lot of experience. So for a period of time, it was quite divided, her mother at home strictly taught her to be a lady, and those uncles outside didn't treat her as a girl at all, Lu Binrou often felt that the role couldn't be changed.

Later, as the days went by, she became a very pretentious character, dignified in front and casual in the back, and changed perfectly.

After dressing up and changing clothes, it was almost time to leave, Lu Binrou took Muyang Heyi to her mother first, and then took her younger brothers to Mrs. Wang's yard, the two aunts were already there, so the group got into the car and set off for Shengxingmen

The so-called Shengxing Gate is where many powerful people in Beijing watch the lanterns, and many mansions have arranged lantern towers in this area, even including the various palaces of the royal family.

No matter what there is, there will inevitably be a competition, whether it is a contest of financial resources, ingenuity, or taste, in short, each family has tried their best to arrange their own light tower, and strive to overpower others. Therefore, the annual Lantern Festival in the area of Shengxingmen is brilliant and extraordinary.

But Lu Binrou heard his eldest brother sigh, he said that the lights at Shengxing Gate are beautiful, but there is always a little less taste. It is a collection of the painstaking efforts of various famous lamp makers, and almost every one of them is exquisite, but ...... The lantern towers hanging in the homes of various magnates, proudly for the competition, look cold, without the warmth and pleasure of the Lantern Festival lanterns.

Lu Binqi said that if you want to watch the lanterns, you should go to the East Market, where the hustle and bustle is lively, the flow of people is like weaving, and there are laughter and laughter everywhere in the blur of lights and shadows. There would be families watching the lights together, young and young people dating after dusk, and all sorts of people.

Moreover, although Shengxingmen brings together lantern boutiques, in fact, in addition to the old ladies and ladies with limited mobility, or the daughters of noble ladies with self-respecting identities, most people will go to Dongshi after staying in Shengxingmen, and even some fun-loving princes and princesses.

Everyone knows that there is the real Lantern Festival lantern.

Lu Binrou is no exception, she stayed on her own lamp tower in Shengxingmen with her mother for a while, and met some relatives and friends of the Hou Mansion and the elders of the same generation, but to be honest, Lu Binrou always felt that the eyes they looked at her were strange, a little envious and regretful that they couldn't speak, and some even gloated.

Isn't it just a doorman, as for it, Lu Binrou was indignant in her heart. So, when those people left, Lu Binrou couldn't wait to say goodbye to the elders and went to Dongshi to watch the lanterns.
