The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 131

After recuperating for a few days, Daiyu's energy and physical strength improved a lot, so she called Songyun and asked her to teach her how to disguise herself. Although Songyun would follow on the road, Daiyu always felt that it would be more convenient for her to disguise herself.

Songyun heard that Daiyu was going to learn the disguise technique, so he smiled and said: "Girl, don't worry about it anymore. Shuyan heard that the girl is going to go out, so he sent several masks for the girl to choose, as long as you wear it on your face." Yes, very convenient."

Daiyu said curiously, "There really is such a thing, you can quickly show it to me."

Songyun took out a small flat box, opened the lid and presented it in front of Daiyu, and saw six exquisite small bottles in the box, Daiyu picked up a small bottle and wondered: "Could it be that the mask is placed here?" inside?"

Song Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Girl, don't underestimate this thing. These are the six masks that the old man Qianji is most proud of. They are only 1 taels of gold, and there is nowhere to buy them. I really don't know how Zimo Shuyan is. Got it."

Daiyu was surprised: "It's so precious?"

Lan Xin walked over and said with a smile: "Isn't that right? I heard that these six masks were made by the old man Qianji who spent ten years of hard work. After they were made, the old man passed away. This unique skill of his has been lost, and no one knows the whereabouts of the last six masks, so it's hard for Shuyan Zimo to find it. Girl, you can try it."

Daiyu sighed lightly, nodded and said, "Okay."

Song Yun cleaned his hands, opened the stopper of a small bottle, took out a mask thinner than gauze with small jade tweezers, put the mask in clear water and spread it out, and an ordinary boy's face appeared in the basin In the middle, Lan Xin gently pinched the forehead on both sides of the mask, lifted it out of the clear water, there was not a drop of water left on it, and gently stuck the mask on Daiyu's face, and saw that the mask seemed to be alive , automatically shrunk to the most suitable size, and attached to Daiyu's face very obediently, Daiyu let out a "huh" in surprise, and only touched her face with her hands, it felt warm and comfortable, as if it was real. Like touching your own skin.Song Yun and Lan Xinming knew that Daiyu would change her appearance when she put on a mask, but they didn't expect that it would become so natural without a trace of rigidity. Daiyu took a closer look in the mirror and exclaimed: "This is really I?"

In the mirror, there was a thin young man with a yellowish complexion, except for those eyes that Daiyu was familiar with, there was no trace of Daiyu's breath in the rest, and he looked like a complete stranger.Daiyu rubbed it with her hands, the mask stuck to her face, it was like real skin, no matter how hard it was to lift a corner.Daiyu hurriedly asked, "What should I do if I want to take off the mask?"

Song Yun hurriedly said: "You have to wet the surface with light salt water, and then dip it in clean water to slowly peel it off. After peeling it off, float it in clean water and put it back into the small bottle. It can still be used next time."

Daiyu hummed, became playful, and only smiled and said, "Hurry up and bring me the men's clothing that my aunt made for me. I want to change into my clothes and go to see my uncle, aunt, and brother to see if they recognize me."

Chunxian hurriedly opened the box, took out a whole set of men's clothes and said with a smile: "Madam is careful, girl, these clothes are all made by Madam herself, there is a mystery in them."

Taking off her daughter's clothes and putting on her youth clothes, Daiyu looked into the dressing mirror to understand what Chunxian said.The shoulders of the cross-neck leather robe are particularly thickened, and after wearing it, the shoulders appear wider, which makes it look more like a man. There is also a mystery in the boots. From the outside, it looks like a pair of ordinary powder-soled soap boots, but Hui Yun added thick pads to the inside of the shoes, and the front part of the shoes was solid for an inch or so, so as not to make her feet appear small. Daiyu put on the boots and stood up straight, and she was even taller than the women's clothes she wore before. Sometimes it's half a head taller.Daiyu hurriedly sat down in front of the vanity mirror and called, "Where's the tiara?"

Xueyan opened a small box, took out a hairpin powder tasseled jade toad beaded crown, put it in front of Daiyu and asked with a smile: "Master, do you think this crown is okay?"

Daiyu deliberately said in a rough voice: "Well, I will wear this one." Her weird tone made Lan Xinzhuying Qingmei Songyun Chunxian Xueyan purse her lips and snicker, Xueyan broke Daiyu's hair bun , combed into a man's hair style, put the hairpin pink tassel jade toad bead crown on Daiyu, and then took out a pink and green beaded ribbon and wiped it on Daiyu's forehead. She didn't even recognize Lin Daiyu in the mirror, so she got up and said with a smile, "No one will recognize me now!"

Zhu Ying just said: "The princess will know if you go out and walk around!"

Daiyu raised her hand and lightly tapped Zhuying's forehead and said angrily, "Nonsense, I want to call you young master!"

Zhu Ying smiled and said: "Okay, please go out, young master, this is the lady's boudoir."

Chunxian hung the purse, small knife and other things on the jade belt around Daiyu's waist, and said with a smile: "Young master, I just walk around the mansion, don't go out, in order to prevent people from guessing, we will not go out." Following you."

Daiyu deliberately said in a rough voice: "Worry!" After speaking, she walked out with small square steps, shaking three times.After leaving the courtyard, Daiyu walked towards Huiyun's courtyard. When she reached the Jiuqu Corridor, she saw Shui Rong walking in front. It seemed that he was going in the direction of Lin Cheng's Yilanzhai.

Daiyu became playful, so she said loudly: "Who is in front? How dare you trespass into the inner courtyard of the Lin residence?"

Shui Rong was walking, when he heard someone shouting suddenly, he stopped and looked back, and saw a thin young man in Chinese clothes pointing at himself and shouting, Shui Rong couldn't help wondering, who is this, why has he never seen it before?

Shui Rong walked up to Daiyu, cupped his fists and said, "Shui Rong, I don't know who this little brother is?"

Daiyu looked Shui Rong up and down on purpose, and said in a deep voice, "I'm Xialin Pu, what is Brother Shui doing in my Lin residence?"

Shui Rong was taken aback, looking at the clothes of the person in front of him, he would definitely not be a servant, but he had been walking around with the Lin family for a long time, but he had never heard of a young man named Lin Pu in the Lin family.Shui Rong clasped his fists and asked with a smile: "Brother Lin, I don't know who you are, the Miss Lin family?"

Daiyu said in a rough voice: "She is a sister-in-law, the sister of a direct relative."

Shui Rong was stunned, stared at Lin Pu in front of him with wide eyes and shook his head in disbelief, "Impossible, Yu'er came out alone, she doesn't have any siblings!"

Daiyu pretended to be angry and said: "Hey... you are so unreasonable, I am right in front of you, you have a red mouth and white teeth, what is your intention?"

Shui Rong hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Brother Lin, don't misunderstand, there must be some misunderstanding here, I want to ask Brother Lin Cheng and he will understand."

But Daiyu said relentlessly: "If I am not the master of the Lin family, how can I walk in the inner courtyard like this? You are so unreasonable, and you are not from the Lin family. Why do you say that I am not from the Lin family?"

Shui Rong hurriedly explained: "Brother Lin, that's not what I mean, it's just that I've never seen you before, so I feel a little strange."

Lin Cheng had already seen Shui Rong talking to a boy upstairs in Yilanzhai, he thought it was Zimo or Shuyan, so he didn't care.Shui Rong turned around and saw Lin Cheng, and hurriedly waved: "Brother Lin, please come down quickly!"

Lin Cheng hurriedly went downstairs to the Jiuqu Corridor. When he saw Daiyu, he was also taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

Daiyu held back her smile and said solemnly: "Brother, I'm Lin Pu, why didn't even the eldest brother recognize me when I went out?"

Lin Cheng took a closer look, patted his forehead quickly and said: "It's all bad brother, I was dazzled by reading just now, and even our young master Lin Pu didn't recognize it. My son, let me introduce you, he is Yu My son...uh...brother." Seeing Daiyu secretly making mouth shapes, Lin Cheng hastily rounded up the words.It is rare for Daiyu to be playful, how could he not cooperate well.

Shui Rong was even more confused, and hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, why have you never heard of it?"

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Who are you from the Lin family? How can everyone know about our Lin family."

Shui Rong was puzzled, even though he was not someone from the Lin family, it was well known that the Lin family only had Daiyu's blood, why did he suddenly come out and this big Young Master Lin was also Daiyu's direct brother, this is too unbelievable!

Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please go upstairs for tea, little brother, you can come too!"

Seeing Shui Rong's bewildered look, Daiyu couldn't help laughing secretly, Lin Cheng shook his head helplessly, Daiyu was innocent and lively by nature, she was extremely naughty when she was a child, and she became silent later on, all because she was unhappy in Jia's house The reason is that Lin Cheng was very happy to see Daiyu slowly recovering her original temperament, so if Daiyu wanted to be mischievous, he would naturally help her with all her strength.

After entering Yilanzhai, Shui Rong kept staring at Daiyu, Daiyu feigned anger and said, "What do you always see me doing?"

No matter what you say about Shui Rong, he is also a dignified son, but Daiyu can't feel the prestige of his son at all. Hearing Daiyu's questioning, he just said dully: "Except for your eyes, you don't look like Yu'er at all."

Lin Cheng shook his head at the side, thinking to himself: This Shui Rong is usually smart, why can't he see through Yu'er's behavior at this moment?

Daiyu stood up and walked in front of Shui Rong and asked in a deep voice: "It really doesn't look like it?"

Shui Rong nodded and said, "It really doesn't look like it!"

Daiyu smiled ignorantly, and said in a natural voice: "If it doesn't look like it, that's right!"

Shui Rong was startled, eyes widened and shouted: "Are you Yu'er?"

Daiyu smiled proudly: "Of course it's me. Brother Rong is also familiar with Yu'er, so he couldn't recognize her. It can be seen that Yu'er's disguise was successful."

Shui Rong praised: "Of course it is successful, Yu'er, if you didn't say it yourself, I would never believe that the young man in front of me is you."

Daiyu turned around and looked at Lin Cheng with a smile, "Brother, Yu'er wants to try again."

Lin Cheng smiled dotingly and said, "What else do you want to try? My brother will follow you."

Daiyu held the jade belt around her waist and raised her eyebrows: "Yu'er is going to the street to see if anyone can recognize Yu'er as a woman!"

Lin Cheng smiled and said: "Okay, but you have to let me check your pulse first to see if you are all well."

Daiyu sat aside, put her arm on the small pillow, Lin Cheng examined it attentively, nodded and said: "Well, it's all well as expected, it seems that this Ningyu mind method is very good for your body. "

Daiyu smiled and said, "Hey, these days I have practiced exercises for an hour every day, and my spirit has indeed improved a lot."

Shui Rong waited for the siblings to finish talking before laughing and said, "Every year from the tenth to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month there is a temple fair, Yu'er, although you have lived in the capital for seven or eight years, you have never gone shopping, why don't you go shopping today temple fair?"

Daiyu said happily: "Okay, I visited a few temple fairs in the south of the Yangtze River when I was a child, but I haven't visited since I came to the capital. Brother, let's go now."

Lin Cheng smiled fondly and said: "Okay, I'm depending on you, but it will take a while, brother will make arrangements first, and I can't just go out like this." Shui Rong also nodded and said: "Brother Lin is very true, although Yu'er, you are easy Rong, but you have to be more careful."

Soon Lin Cheng made the arrangements, and he and Shui Rong accompanied Daiyu to sneak out through the corner gate, and walked through several alleys to the street.The streets are very lively during the New Year, with small stalls lined up on both sides, selling everything, such as pen holders dug out of bamboo roots, small wind stoves made of clay piles, big ahfu brought from the south, and small baskets made of wicker Daiyu was dazzled by the small basket and all kinds of fun little things, and her excited eyes shone brightly.Lin Cheng is not interested in these things, he only pays attention to the movements around Daiyu, for fear of any mistakes.Shui Rong stayed by Daiyu's side, and he went to buy what Daiyu said was good. After a while, the two guards of the Beijing Palace who followed him carried their hands on their backs and hung their necks. Moving the stall, it is almost impossible to see the road in front of you.

As she was walking forward, she suddenly heard someone beating a gong in front of her. Daiyu asked curiously, "The sound of the gong sounds strange, doesn't it seem like an official is passing by?"

I only heard someone beating the gong and shouting loudly: "Fathers and folks, today is the last day for the oiran to compete for beauty. Now only the white peony girl from Wanhualou and the red peony girl from Chahonglou are left to compete for the oiran. Starting at noon, the two girls, Red and White Peony, are performing their skills on the Zhengyan Stage. It is up to the young and old to decide which girl wins the crown. Hurry up and go to the Zhengyan Stage. If you get there late, you won’t be able to squeeze in..."

After hearing this, Daiyu asked curiously: "Brother Shui, what's the matter with this fight for the top oiran? The flowers haven't bloomed yet, so how can we fight?" Even though Daiyu has read a lot of books, she doesn't know anything about the Qinglou Chuguan. , in the spirit of seeking knowledge if she doesn't understand, Daiyu humbly asked Shui Rong for advice.

The water-soluble face was reddish, and he said awkwardly: "This...you know that I rarely walk around outside, why don't you ask brother Lin!"

Lin Cheng glared at Shui Rong secretly, and said in his heart: "This kid can play football, if you can't say such a thing, why should I say it?"

Seeing Lin Chengshuirong's strange expression, Daiyu frowned and said, "Big Brother, Brother Shui, what's the matter with you? Is there something unspeakable? It sounds very interesting to compete for the crown prince. Let's go and see." Let's see!" After speaking, Daiyu walked away, walking towards Zhengyan Terrace along the direction of the crowd.

Lin Chengshuirong looked at each other in blank dismay, why did Daiyu even change her temper once she wore men's clothing.The two of them hurriedly chased after Daiyu, one left and one right protecting Daiyu, Lin Chengshuirong was very skilled, so no matter how crowded the crowd was, Daiyu would not be squeezed, and the three of them made it to the Zhengyan stage smoothly.

Zhengyan Terrace is two platforms standing side by side. The platform is not as high as it was built temporarily. There are many seats on the opposite side of the platform. All the seats are surrounded by a circle of red thick velvet rope, leaving only a small one. The entrance is guarded by four strong men.Seeing this, Daiyu frowned and said, "What is this for?"

The man guarding the entrance said with a smile: "Young master, I see you are suave and handsome. We Hong Mudan admire young masters like you the most. Please come in and give us Hong Mudan a show!" The man hurriedly shouted: "My lord, look at your extraordinary appearance, we Bai Mudan like you the most, please give us Bai Mudan a compliment, our Bai Mudan won the oiran, we will never forget your son Big favor!"

Shui Rong stepped forward and pulled Daiyu behind him and said in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you two slaves, my brother is precious, and you red peony and white peony are my brother's feet, my brother thinks it's dirty!"

Lin Cheng whispered next to Daiyu's ear: "Little brother, there is nothing to see, let's go!"

Shui Rong's words annoyed the two guards who guarded the passage, and they laughed sinisterly: "If you don't have money, don't pretend to be. The person wearing it looks like a dog. It turns out it's just an empty frame. I have to dare to go in. I'm afraid it will cost money." You can't afford to be laughed at by others!"

Shui Rong was furious, he slapped his face twice with his backhand, and cursed: "The dog slave is courting death!"

The cheeks of the two men were swollen, and they exclaimed in shock: "You...you dare to spoil the scene, this is the beauty contest built by the order of the Lord Fu Yin, how dare you make it difficult for the Lord Fu Yin!"

"Hey, isn't this the prince of Beijing Jing? It's really rare for you to come and see this oiran competing for beauty. I didn't expect Brother Shui to be so good. I'm a dog slave. If you are blind, even the prince of Beijing dares to stop you. You want to die !" A greasy voice sounded, and Shui Rong looked up, and saw that the person who came was Xiao Zishan, the son of a concubine from the Xining Palace. There are eight people who don't live at home during the day.

Shui Rong frowned and said, "Young Master Xiao, I don't have time to watch such boring things."

Xiao Zishan's eyes slid around Lin Cheng and Daiyu's body. When he saw Daiyu, his eyes lit up, and there was a flash of surprise. It turns out that Xiao Zishan can be both male and female. Although Yu is easy-going, she always feels a little cowardly, coupled with her thin body, I feel pity for her, so in Xiao Zishan's eyes, she actually regards her as a water-soluble forbidden scorpion.

Nodding obscenely, Xiao Zishan said with a look of sudden realization: "Brother Shui is also good at this, it's so rare, come, come, baby, come and say hello to Master Shui, as long as you fall into the eyes of Master Shui, you This life is considered a blessing!" Xiao Zishan called a young man to him, picked his chin and said frivolously.

The young man was wearing a bright red brocade gown with flowers and a hundred butterflies, and a pine green sweat scarf around his waist. He tightened his tight grip on his small waist, and he was so cowardly and coquettish, he twisted She squeezed herself into Xiao Zishan's arms, and said softly, "Master Xiao, you are so cruel, don't be a slave!"

Daiyu felt strange in her heart when she heard the voice. The voice was so familiar, and it seemed to be Baoyu's voice. Could it be him?Daiyu frowned and looked at the young man, Lin Cheng and Shui Rong felt the same way, looked at the young man in red with six eyes, Xiao Zishan laughed loudly and said, "Little darling, I can't bear to part with you, but I just want you to visit Beibei." That’s all for Prince Jing’s son!”

The young man raised his head, and saw that his face was covered with face powder, rouge was lit, and his peach blossom eyes were watery. He stepped forward and said softly to Shui Rongfu: "Nu Nu pays homage to the eldest son." The voice was also watery. , hooked a few men with poor concentration to swallow their saliva.

Shui Rong asked in surprise, "You are Jia Baoyu?"

But the young man blinked his eyes and asked puzzledly: "Master, who do you say it is? Nunu's name is Baoer, not Jia Baoyu." The charming gesture made by the blinking eyes made many of the men present feel confused. Swallowed back saliva.

Daiyu shook her head lightly, she had already recognized this person as Jia Baoyu, and she didn't want to stay here any longer, Daiyu said softly, "Brother Shui, let's go."
