Love of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

While Zhong Chu was wasting time every day, the day when Lu Ming and Liang Xiaoyu got married arrived.

Zhong Chu borrowed a carriage and horses from the Tang family one day in advance. On this day, Tang Mou and several brothers from the family followed Lu Ming, rode on tall horses, and rode a newly decorated carriage to meet the bride.

Except for Tang Mou, none of them knew how to ride a horse. The reason why they didn't make a fool of themselves today was because they had been practicing for more than a month.

Beating gongs and drums all the way to Liangjia Village, the two families are not far away, only half an hour away.

When she was about to arrive, Xi Niang asked someone to set off firecrackers to remind the Liang family that the Lu family pick-up team had arrived.

No one in the Liang family made it difficult for them, and welcomed the uncle-to-be and his relatives and friends happily.

The eldest son Liang Ping came out with Liang Xiaoyu on his back. Lu Ming took her and helped her into the carriage. Liang's mother watched from a distance at the door, her eyes were red.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, I, Lu Ming, will definitely cherish Xiaoyu. If she wants to go home, she can come back at any time, and I will ask you to take care of me." Lu Ming rarely said such a long sentence, Liang Xiaoyu was in the carriage It sounds sweet in my heart.

Liang's father and Liang's mother nodded repeatedly, and Liang Ping looked at Lu Ming with a smile.

"It's an auspicious time, let's get up the sedan chair!" With the sound of Xi Niang's announcement, joy played.Lu Ming rode at the front on a tall horse, Zhong Chu and Tang Mou guarded the carriage one on the left and one on the right, followed by the band and the team carrying 68's dowry.

Sitting next to the driver, Xi Niang never stopped smiling.

"The bride is here!"

Someone in the crowd called out.

Zhong's father and Zhong's mother greeted all relatives and friends in Lu's residence. When the welcoming team came back, they were pulled to sit in the high hall by the people called by Lu Ming.

"Pray to heaven and earth!" Xi Gong shouted at the top of his voice.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Bye husband and wife!"

"Send it to the bridal chamber!" With a cry of "Courtesy", Lu Ming led Liang Xiaoyu, who was on the other end of the red silk, to their new house.

Although Lu Ming's house is a small courtyard with two entrants, the village does not pay attention to separate tables for men and women except for the village head and elders. Everyone sits according to the position, and the courtyard is full of people.

The banquet master in charge of the kitchen orderly ordered the servants to bring up plates of large dishes.

The first dish is a large piece of braised pork with soft skin.The second steamed meat, the selected pork belly is steamed with corn flour for an hour, fat but not greasy.The third roast duck is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.The fourth dish, boiled shrimp, is refreshing and delicious.The fifth course, white cut meat, tastes tender.The sixth course is stewed big bones.The seventh course, boiled chicken.The eighth way, liver in oil.Finally, the two vegetarian dishes of stewed cabbage with vermicelli and fried lettuce with fungus are served together.

Eight meat and two vegetables, ten dishes, implying perfection.

Everyone ate happily, and said good things without money.For a while, he praised Lu Ming for marrying such a virtuous daughter-in-law, for a while he praised the Zhong family and his wife for their kindness, and for a while they praised Zhong Chu for his youthful talents.Some people praised Lu Ming's house was spacious and bright, and his servants were agile.In the end, they unanimously praised the well-organized wedding banquet and the grand dishes.

Father Zhong and Mother Zhong laughed from ear to ear.

The bridegroom official hasn't shown up for a long time, and everyone knows it by heart.The elders all went home after eating and drinking some wine.Only brothers of the same generation were left, taking turns to bombard Zhong Chu Tang Mou with drinks.As for making trouble in the bridal chamber, the young couple will probably be really intimate, so they don't want to watch it, because it will make a needle eye.

The women and daughters-in-law who participated in the wedding banquet took advantage of this energy to drink what they could drink with Zhong's mother. Zhong's mother was overwhelmed with alcohol and felt drunk after a while.Father Zhong paid close attention to Mother Zhong all the time, he didn't know that she was drunk, so he asked the mother-in-law to send her to rest immediately.

As soon as Mother Zhong left, the female relatives also left one after another.

The servants had a meal and cleaned up the mess and went back to Zhong's house. Zhong Chu brought people to send Tang Mou back in person and returned the horses and vehicles.

Tang Mou was as soft and slippery as a loach when he was drunk.Sometimes he wanted to lift the car curtain and sometimes he wanted to get out of the car door. Zhong Chu simply took cloth strips and tied people into rice dumplings, so that he settled down.

After delivering Tang Mou, Zhong Chu was almost sober. At this moment, the young servant came in with Lin Feng who delivered the letter to Zhong Chu. After Zhong Chu read the letter, Lin Feng said: "The master will send you the next day after receiving your letter. He and his wife have prepared corresponding things, and sent the little one to bring them to you."

Speaking of taking out the things in his arms, Zhong Chu took them and just opened the envelope for a look, then sealed it silently.

"It's hard work, the boat is exhausted, let's go down and rest."

Lin Ruhai brought Zhong Chu 10 taels of silver in addition to his opinions on the attitude of the people in the Jia family towards Daiyu. Zhong Chu lamented that Master was rich, and also felt that being a salt patrol censor was indeed a fat job. People want to take that position when they break their heads.

After burning the letter, Zhong Chu put the banknote in the small compartment next to the bed that only he knew.

The Zhong family is not a wealthy family or a family targeted by the superiors, and there will be no hidden guards to investigate. Zhong Chu is not at all worried that someone will find out that the bank notes have been stolen.

Lin Ruhai entrusted him with the money to buy a house in the capital under his name, and he bought the house for Daiyu to live in first.

Zhong Chu also felt that it would be good for Daiyu to live outside, as he would be in the capital for the next two years, and if he was named on the gold list, he would stay in the capital to get his qualifications, and when Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing, he would be released to make some political achievements.

His body is still young, and only by laying a solid foundation can he go further and more steadily.

Thinking of Daiyu suddenly becoming his little fiancée, Zhong Chu was still a little embarrassed, but when Daiyu grew up and found someone he liked, he asked Lin Ruhai to withdraw the engagement.With Daiyu in the way, Zhong's father and Zhong's mother will not keep urging him to get married. Although there is suspicion of using Daiyu, but now that he is asked to marry a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, he would rather be a eunuch.

Zhong Chu felt that he was not an ancient man, and it was normal for him to get married when he was 25 or [-] years old.

Zhong Chu will be a little tired now, he wanted to lie down on the bed and close his eyes to rest, but fell asleep after a while.

When it was getting dark, Father Zhong and Mother Zhong came back from Lu's house. When they heard that Zhong Chu slept until dark, they asked him to wake him up for dinner.

Curfew at night and no nightlife.

As soon as it got dark, the people lit the oil lamps, and the main house of Zhong's family was brightly illuminated by the lights. The servants all stood quietly in the corner without making a sound, and only Zhong's mother looked at Zhong Chu with tears in her eyes.

"Mother, what are you doing!" Zhong Chu had a headache, he was inexplicable to Zhong's mother's sudden emotion.

It is said that a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea, and it is true!

"My son will go to the capital in two days, and I miss you for my mother." Zhong's mother wiped away her tears, and Zhong's father nodded frequently.

……

Zhong Chu was speechless and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"If my father and mother go to the capital with me, didn't my father say that there is a sworn brother in the capital, and I just went to meet him this time. My mother is from the capital, and she has been married for many years. I will take advantage of this time to go back to visit relatives."

"It's still my son who wins my heart." Mother Zhong laughed through tears, and held Zhong Chu's hand, where there were no tears.

Zhong Chu said "hehe" in his heart, and talked with Zhong's father and Zhong's mother about the daily life, and this day was really over.

Because there is a cute reminder that "Master" and "Master" sound different, so I changed it
