    The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, which is also a good day for the opening of Wangjilou.  There were signs in the Ji Mansion early in the morning. All the lanterns in the garden were replaced. A new cluster of bright red colors was indescribably festive. Even outside the small courtyard where Yu Shu lived, two were hung for the occasion.  Yu Shu left the message and went out. She had a lot to do today. First, Wangji Building opened at noon. She didn't know how long she would be busy. In the evening, she also had to pick up Yu Xiaoxiu to spend the festival with Aunt Cui. If she had time, she would like to come back.  Let's go to Xingjie Street to see if Jing Chen will come back tonight or tomorrow morning.  People are coming and going on Ma Street today. The teahouses and shops in the nearby streets have all opened their doors today as if by appointment. In Anling City, Sanyuan has no curfew, no selling, no noisy day and night. Small businesses in the south of the city  The vendors have all moved to the north of the city. The stalls are set up on the roadside one by one, with all kinds of lanterns hanging out. There are also people making glutinous rice balls and selling sugar blowers. There is not much noise at the moment, but I want to get closer at night.  The lantern festival will be more lively.  Yu Shu deliberately passed by the front door of Wangji Building. Unexpectedly, he saw that the elegant door outside the building had a long horizontal plaque made of red silk. It was decorated with colorful flowers and colorful flowers. It attracted many passers-by's glances, but the door was not open.  .  Going around to the back door and entering, it turned out to be a mess. The originally empty backyard was littered with debris. Lin Fu was directing Guiliu and a few temporarily hired helpers to lift them up and down. When they saw Yu Shu, they all put down their work.  say hello.  Yu Shu motioned for them to continue, then turned and entered the kitchen at the back of the building. Xiuqing and two cooks were preparing the snacks for today. There were seven or eight steamers on the stove that was one and two feet long, steaming.  Emitting white smoke.  Going to the front floor, the tables, chairs and benches are all neatly arranged. There are fifteen or six jars of old wine behind the counter. Xiaodie and Xiaoqing are pasting colored paper on the stairs, which are seven feet above the ground. There are nearly a hundred colored lanterns hanging vertically and horizontally above the head, all with square holes.  In the shape of a palace building, Yu Shu knew that the small black characters on it were all riddles. This was a gimmick for today's opening. Anyone who could solve the riddles by picking up the lantern would be free of the cost of a table of food and drinks. Xue Rui's trick was so powerful that he couldn't help but  It's not a big deal.  Everyone in the front and back of the building is making final preparations for the noon opening. Everyone is busy running around, and only Yu Shu is idle.  Seeing that she had nothing to do, Yu Shu went up to the second floor. Yesterday he went to Zhao Hui's house to celebrate his birthday and left the gold treasure with Yu Xiaoxiu, fearing that it would run away when there were so many people today.  As soon as she took the account book and sat down at the desk, Xiao Qing knocked on the door and said that the hot water was boiled and asked her to take a bath and change clothes. She also said that the tailor had delivered new clothes yesterday afternoon.  "Girl didn't come yesterday. The clothes were put in the next room. I'll bring them to you. I'll take a look at them. The sewing is very careful." When Yu Shu heard this, he asked her to be sent to this room. Xiao Qing  I went to pick up a pile of neatly folded clothes and put them on the couch. Yu Shu shook them out one by one and looked at them. They were even more exquisite and satisfactory than the ones on the painting that day. I couldn't help but like them.  So she asked Xiaoqing to have hot water brought up. She washed it and then changed her clothes.  Yu Shu took a shower and sat in the private room. She was wearing a clean white shirt and a cotton-padded jacket and sat in front of the short-legged makeup mirror. Her face was turned pink by the hot water. I wonder if she had taken some medicine in the past few days.  The benefits of the pills are that the yellowish spots on my face have faded and my skin has become much smoother.  No one else could move their hands away, so Xiaoqing went to the back of the building and asked the piano master Bai to comb her hair.  "How do you want to dress up, girl?" The Bai family has a delicate appearance and a soft-spoken voice. Yu Shu was thinking about wearing Hu clothes later, so she said: "Grow your hair in a simple and refreshing style. Don't wear it."  There are so many buns and corners." Bai understood and looked at the few hairpins on the dressing table, so she used a comb to comb her freshly dried hair and said, "Then tie it into an upturned bun, and I'll get a ribbon.  Give the girl a hairband and a white jade hairpin. She will look good without wearing any silver and red emeralds. "Yu Shu didn't understand this, so he just said casually that she would be beautiful only when her hair was tied up. Her facial features were not delicate, so she won.  Now that she has a standard oval face, it really makes those ladies from famous families look less attractive if they remove their hairpins from their temples. With their forehead and whole face exposed openly like this, their brows are clear, which makes them handsome.  Then put on Hufu and short boots, with a narrow waist and flat shoulders, and stand in front of the mirror. The person will be more energetic, with slender hands and feet, three points taller and straighter than a woman, clear facial features, and three points better posture than a man.  Xiao Qing stood aside holding a teacup, looking at Yu Shu, blushing slightly. Bai was too embarrassed to stare at Yu Shu any longer, so she applied some powder to trim her eyebrows, then left.  At this time, someone spoke outside the door: "Miss, have you packed up? The master is here, please go downstairs to see him." Yu Shu was wiping snake ointment on his hands. When he heard Xue Rui coming, he responded: "  Come down now." "Brother, you're here." In the small hall downstairs, Xue Rui was listening to Lin Fu's report. He turned his head when he heard the sound and saw the sun shining through the door. Yu Shu walked in neatly.  Wearing a dark green mottled brocade with narrow sleeves, corset and long lapels, the panels hang down to just below the knees, revealing a pair of slim magnolia trouser legs, which are tied straight into small leather boots. With her back in the light, her slender and straight figure is clearly visible.  ,?The silk is bundled, the face is bright, and the eyebrows are swept with strangeness, and she looks like a noble girl from Hulu who walked down from the mural in front of her.  Even though Xue Rui had seen all kinds of women so far, his eyes couldn't help but dazzled by her at this moment.  Yu Shu didn't notice the strange look in Xue Rui's eyes. He walked over and stood in front of him, straightened his collar and praised: "You are really good at finding those two tailors. These clothes fit me perfectly."  Rui Xiaoxiao came back to his senses, picked up the tea cup to hide the turmoil in his heart, and said: "As long as we agree, we will come to them next time. Have you eaten in the morning?" Yu Shu sat down on the Taishi chair on the other side of the teahouse and said:  "Well, I ate it on the way here." Xue Rui said: "I asked them to prepare the food, and you can eat some later. The kitchen will be busy at noon and I can't take care of you." Yu Shu said yes, and Xue Rui looked at her,  Then he said: "Are you unhappy that I failed to go to your birthday party as promised yesterday?" Yu Shu smiled and said: "How can you be so stingy? You didn't mean not to come." Xue Rui nodded and said: "  I must have told you that the Ninth Prince returned to the capital and came to our house yesterday, so I couldn't leave." Yu Shuzheng was a little curious about the Ninth Prince. Hearing him take the initiative to mention it, he didn't seem to shy away from it, so he took advantage of the situation and asked.  He said, "Has the Ninth Prince been away from the capital for a long time? How come I haven't heard anything about him in the capital."  He is actually my cousin. Because he was weak when he was a child, he was often troubled by ghosts and gods, so he was sent to the Taoist holy place in the mountains to practice cultivation. He only returned to Beijing once every three years. He didn't show up often, so he was rarely mentioned. "  "Oh, that's it." After hearing about the Ninth Prince, Yu Shu couldn't help but think of Jing Chen, who was also sent to the Taoist sect to save his life. The Ninth Prince can still come back to see his relatives once every three years, but Jing Chen  But Chen stayed there for eighteen years. He finally got off the mountain, but the road back to Beijing was full of twists and turns, and he almost lost his life.  I wonder if the Ninth Prince and Jing Chen belong to the same Taoist sect? "Master, the food is ready." As soon as Yu Shu thought of something, he was interrupted by the voice outside the door. He put away his thoughts and followed Xue Rui there.  Went to dine next door.  At noon, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded on Ma Street. Pedestrians on the street were attracted by the noise and went to the middle of the street. They gathered outside a newly built restaurant to watch the excitement. But in front of the door, there were gongs and drums, dragon and lion dances, and hydrangea balls.  Fei, there is a long string of ninety-nine red firecrackers hanging in front of the door, obviously it is going to open today.  Yu Shu and Lin Fu stood inside the door, watching more and more people gathering outside. When the time was almost up, Lin Fu reported to Yu Shu and went to the door to talk.  He had a loud voice, so he thanked his father and fellow villagers for their support, and asked Xiaoqing and Xiaodie to come out with a plate and distribute happy snacks to the onlookers. He also took the opportunity to say a bunch of auspicious words to win people's hearts, and finally said loudly: "That's right.  It's an auspicious time, please ask our chief steward to get up." Yu Shu knew it was her turn to show up, so he took the incense stick from Guiliu's hand, with a little smile on his face, he walked out of the door calmly and stood  Go to the long list of Jiujiuhong in front of the door.  The people watching outside the restaurant were just guessing which restaurant in the north of the city such a large restaurant was, when they saw a young girl dressed in a strange way coming out. They were startled at first, then came back to their senses and saw her wrist raised.  When I raised my head, I heard the "cracking" sound of firecrackers, which made my ears explode. I was blinded by the festive smoke all over the sky. When the sound of the firecrackers disappeared, I looked back and saw that no one was there anymore. The red plaque on the door was covered with silk and satin.  I don't know when it was uncovered, revealing the calligraphy, "Enter." Yu Shu lit the firecrackers, unveiled the plaque and turned around to go in. If Xue Rui hadn't been inconvenient to show up, she wouldn't have been able to do such a "glamorous" job. Lin  Fu took over Yu Shu's place in front of the door and greeted everyone with a smile: "Please come in, guests. Our Wangji Building is opening with great auspiciousness today. It was held in Shangyuan, so anyone who can guess the lantern riddles will get free drinks."  , everyone outside the building looked at each other, and after a while, they poured into the building one after another. Not to mention that when they entered the Wangji Building, they saw the exquisitely crafted tables and chairs, dishes, teeth and chopsticks, and the rare glass screen.  It was so dazzling. Anyway, the twenty tables downstairs were filled very quickly, and guests kept coming in. Yu Shu stood at the door of the back hall, watched the movement for a long time, then put down the curtain and went to the backyard to meet Xue.  Rui reported that he happened to miss two young ladies holding round fans and maids walking in. "Girls, there are no seats downstairs. There is a private room on the second floor. Can I lead you up?" "Minmin."  , I think there are too many people here, why don¡¯t we go somewhere else.  "Ji Xingxuan likes peace and quiet. Seeing the noisy people here, he is inevitably unhappy. He frowns and turns to ask the people around him.  , why should we go anywhere else when such a good thing happens? Just stay here. Waiter, take us upstairs.  " "Okay, girl, please come over here."  ¡±.
