Qing Wu Red House

On the two days of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the tenth year of Hong Zhen, the people in the entire Shang capital were in a state of jealous excitement. Some people even cared about eating and sleeping, and were too busy discussing the prince's marriage.

It was early in the morning that many people poured into the teahouse on Heshun Street, waiting for today's royal canonization procession to pass by.Second brother Zhang who lives in Shangjing is the one who likes to watch the excitement. He has studied in a private school for several years, but his scientific examinations are a mess.No, this second brother Zhang also came to this teahouse early in the morning, ordered a pot of scented tea and a plate of peanuts, and started chatting with others.

Those who came to watch the excitement knew that Second Brother Zhang was a gossip, and some asked with a smile: "Second Brother Zhang is so early today, did you see the dowry given by the Lin family yesterday?" He glanced at him, and said with some disdain: "You are talking nonsense, go all over the capital to inquire, how many people didn't see the Lin family's dowry yesterday, this Heshun Street is under martial law all day long."

Someone followed suit: "Yes, I came to this teahouse early yesterday, but I still didn't get a seat by the window. You said how many dowries are there for the Lin family? Dazzled, all forgotten!"

Second brother Zhang took a sip of tea triumphantly at this time: "I forgot it, but I don't know if there are any left behind!" Several other people asked enthusiastically: "How many sets are there? Second brother Zhang, hurry up and join us Say it."

The second brother Zhang said with a bit of a tricky smile: "Guess what, this whole day's dowry is really an eye-opener for us. Since the founding of Daqi, we have never seen such a grand occasion!"

"Second Brother Zhang, don't whet our appetites, let's talk!" The table next to him was also the one who liked to watch the excitement, and he came over with the breakfast on his own table, and greeted Second Brother Zhang to eat.While inquiring curiously.

Brother Zhang was not polite, picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth: "I counted 260 five lifts, but I thought the Lin family would definitely not prepare such a number, it must be 260 six lifts, or 260 eight lifts Yes. But there is no need for us to talk about numbers here, who has seen the way of placing dowry like the Lin family!"

Someone laughed and said, "Yes, I can't count how many pearls and hairpin bracelets are piled up in the box just like that." Brother Zhang said with a smile: "No, I'm afraid that lifting it will be difficult for ordinary people. The number of 36 sets can be placed at home. It really opened my eyes. This Lin family relies on piles for everything, pearl chains, calligraphy and painting scrolls. Medicinal materials and porcelain still rely on piles , they did everything they could to fill every gap."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard Brother Zhang's words, and someone suddenly shouted: "Look, the royal canonization team is here, and Master Ji and Master Chen are still the principal and deputy envoys!"

Brother Zhang also went to the window to watch.He smiled and said, "I guess the Lin family is very lively right now." Everyone gathered in front of the window and stretched their necks to look around.All of a sudden, many people came out of nowhere and began to watch. Obviously, this royal marriage will be talked about by everyone in this period of time.

And the Lin family was indeed very lively at this time.Accompanied by Nanny Song and the maids, Daiyu took a bath early in the morning, sat at the dressing table and got dressed.

Qingwen and Muqing also went to the mansion early to help Daiyu wear the complicated and complicated Zhai clothes.Daiyu's Zhai gown has a blue base.There is a certain difference from the empress's dark blue Zhai clothes.And the specifications of Zhai Yi are also slightly inferior to those of empresses, but they are higher than those of ordinary concubines.

Zijuan combed Daiyu's hair neatly, and Qingwen and others waited on Daiyu to change the Zhai clothes.The Zhai clothes were very heavy, so Daiyu felt abnormally heavy when she put them on. Adding on the golden crown, Daiyu felt that she could barely move.

Nanny Song gently supported Daiyu's golden crown, and said in a low voice, "Girl, don't lower your head. Keep your head high at all times. After the canonization ceremony is over, the girl will no longer be the daughter of the Lin family. The crown princess of the country. Even the uncle and grandma have to salute the girl!"

Although Daiyu already knew that this was the royal rule, but when things really came to an end, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable.Seeing that Daiyu was silent, Nanny Song comforted her softly: "The girl needs to get familiar with this identity early on. After a few days of wedding, the Empress will definitely bring you to see these orders. Mrs. Jia is also here, and the girl is going to give her a big gift too."

Daiyu sighed: "Don't worry, Mammy, I know all this. Seventh Mammy has already taught me, I just can't turn around for a while, and I will be fine after a while." Qingwen is still helping Daiyu arrange her clothes , I am afraid that there is something negligent.

Zijuan helped Daiyu tidy up the golden crown, and the girls in the room came and went in a hurry.Not long after, Wushuang came in with Ziyan and Yunyan, and seeing Daiyu wearing this dress, she couldn't help admiring: "This dress is really magnificent, but my sister's expression is not serious enough, you have to look majestic without being angry. "

Daiyu was amused by Wushuang's words: "My sister-in-law will show me what it means to be powerful without being angry." Wushuang subconsciously pouted when Daiyu said this, making Daiyu laugh .The girls and women in the room couldn't help laughing too.

At this time, the sound of salutes sounded outside, and Chuxia and Zhixia came back hand in hand: "Girl, the canonized embassy has entered the mansion, and the uncle said to let the girl go to the front yard." Wushuang immediately asked: "The soft sedan chair has been brought over." Is it? Even if it’s not too hot now, walking over there will still be exhausting.”

Chu Xia said: "I've already waited outside, and there are several ice basins in the auditorium in the front yard. The uncle is afraid that the girl's dress is too heavy, and she will be too hot." Then Wu Shuang nodded, and personally helped Daiyu to go outside Behind him, Song Nanny, Zijuan, Xueyan, Qingwen, Muqing, Erqian and other seven or eight maids followed quickly.

And in the front yard, there was already a lot of people talking, relatives and friends gathered together, waiting to witness this moment of history.During the three consecutive days of the Lin family's ceremony, many guests lived in the guest rooms in the front yard, which was very convenient.

Mrs. Yang was talking to Jia Mu: "Old sister, you are a lucky person. Your son is filial and your wife is obedient. Now that Lian'er is well-off, Rongguo Mansion's century-old foundation has a successor. In addition, Lin This girl will be more secure in the future!"

Although Jia's mother had a smile on her face, she was full of emotions in her heart, and she didn't know what to think: "The old lady is even more blessed. I see that Brother Lin treats Wushuang girl very well. In the herb garden, Miss Wushuang also manages it very well."

Mrs. Yang said with a smile: "Yes, we are content with this. Although the Lin family is relatively small in size, the rules and etiquette are not chaotic. When the two of them have children, it will be lively."

Mother Jia smiled and said, "Yes. I'm afraid this day is not far away!" Mrs. Yang glanced at Tanchun and Xichun behind Mrs. Jia, and said with a smile, "Mr. , I think Sanya is also a good one."

Mother Jia glanced at Tanchun.He said to Mrs. Yang: "I need to trouble Mrs. Madam to help our third girl think about this matter." Mrs. Yang responded repeatedly.Although Jia Amnesty has not shown anything to the Yang family so far, the women's family has had a lot of contact.

Not long after, Lin Haorui had already welcomed the people from the Ministry of Rites in court clothes, and the auditorium was instantly quiet.I saw Ji Xueyong walking towards the auditorium slowly, holding the gold book in his hand.Put the gold book on the table case.

Then, with the support of Zijuan, Daiyu solemnly walked into the auditorium, and knelt down facing the desk.

Ji Xueyong held the imperial decree and read it aloud.The general idea is to say some words of Daiyu's virtuous and virtuous, and finally awarded the gold book to the female official on the left.The female official walked up to Daiyu.Kneeling down respectfully: "Please accept the treasure book, the Crown Princess."

Daiyu raised her hands, and reverently took the golden book representing her identity.Then he handed the golden book to Zijuan who was kneeling on the right side with both hands, and Zijuan also knelt and took it.Put it in the brocade box prepared earlier.

Only then did Daiyu kneel and kowtow three times to Chen Case Liusu, and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Then Ji Xueyong also bestowed the imperial decree on Daiyu, and said with a smile: "Prince and concubine please hurry up." Daiyu Yu was supported by Zijuan and looked at relatives and friends in the auditorium.

At this time, the people watching the ceremony in the auditorium.Only under the leadership of Lin Haorui, they knelt down on the ground at the same time.Shouted loudly: "Meet the Empress of the Crown Princess, the Empress of the Crown Princess is a thousand years old!" Daiyu looked at her brother and then at Jia Mu who was kneeling in the crowd. Although she was still very uncomfortable, she still forced herself He said calmly: "Everyone please stand up!"

Everyone thanked them first and then stood up. Lin Haorui signaled Zijuan and others to help Daiyu go to the backyard, and then happily called the managers to take their seats.He also announced that today the Lin Mansion is still distributing wedding cakes for the common people. When the news spread, the common people guarding the gate also cheered.

Finally, the noisy day passed, and it was not until night that Daiyu had time to talk to Lin Haorui.In the Misty Rain Pavilion, there were only two siblings sitting at the Eight Immortals table, Wushuang was considerate and did not disturb them.

Lin Haorui saw that Daiyu had resumed her usual attire, and said with a gentle smile, "You're exhausted today, go to bed early in a while, tomorrow will be a serious day." Daiyu chuckled lightly: "Thank you brother, Big brother is busy too today."

Lin Haorui shook his head: "It's what I should do as an older brother to do these things for my younger sister. I wouldn't be so tired. But I never wanted to believe that my younger sister will get married tomorrow, and she will be an adult in the future, someone's daughter-in-law. gone."

Daiyu's eyes were slightly hot: "Brother, I..."

Lin Haorui shook his head: "Sister, you don't need to say anything, as long as you have a good rest, and being a happy bride tomorrow is the best reward for me. As long as you marry happily and as you wish, I will not live up to my father's trust. "

Daiyu nodded heavily: "Brother, I married very happily and as I wished. I have always wanted to thank my brother formally. These years, I have made my brother bother!" Lin Haorui smiled and said: "Silly girl, why bother?" Don't worry, isn't this what a brother should do?"

But Daiyu shook her head: "I know that without my brother, my life would definitely not be what it is now. I can live so easily and recklessly because my brother has supported me with a family. I should be grateful to my brother. "

Lin Haorui smiled heartily, and said softly: "What my sister said is wrong. It's not that I have built a home for my sister, but that we are a family and should support each other. Let's talk about the big and small things in the garden. Isn't it my sister who took care of it? How can I say that I helped my sister support the house?"

Daiyu laughed and said coquettishly: "I can't say no to brother, anyway, brother understands what I mean!" Lin Haorui smiled and said: "Okay, go to bed quickly. Tomorrow I have to get up early." Daiyu nodded, Only then did Lin Haorui be sent out of Yanyu Pavilion.

Daiyu watched Lin Haorui leave the Yanyu Pavilion, staring at every plant and tree in the Yanyu Pavilion with fascination.Indescribable emotion.Zijuan stood beside Daiyu and said softly, "Girl, let's rest!" Daiyu shook her head, "I'm not sleepy yet, come with me to Wisteria Pier to have a look!"

Zijuan shook her head desperately: "This is not possible, I know the girl is reluctant, but it is too late now, the girl will get married tomorrow, if she falls ill, it is not a joke!" Xueyan and Qingwen They all came out to persuade, but Daiyu had to give up.But when he returned to his room, he still didn't fall asleep for a long time.

Finally, finally finally.

The eighteenth day of the eighth month of Hongzhen's tenth year, the day of universal celebration, finally arrived.Tianyou put on the bright red groom's outfit early in the morning, and ate breakfast under the supervision of Nanny Xia and Ruyan.Ruyan smiled and said: "I have never seen the crown prince dressed so elegantly. Even in the prince's ceremony, there was no such elegant dress."

Mother Xia smiled and said: "That's natural. Today is the grand prince's once-in-a-lifetime day, so what's the point of not being serious! If the prince didn't want to match the future princess concubine with red, this old slave thinks it's still our royal family's red dress." More colorful."

Tianyou ate breakfast comfortably.Ignore the conversation between the two.But Jin Xue, who was holding a washbasin in the corner of the room, looked at Tianyou in a daze, with warm eyes.In order not to be noticed by others, she still lowered her head, and a tear fell into the basin, forming a halo, but it disappeared in an instant.

Such little details.No one in Changyang Palace found out.When the time came, Tianyou went to bow down to the emperor and queen, and officially started the schedule of today's marriage.this day.Unlike the previous princes who got married, Tianyou continued to be greeted by the Minister of Rites, but reached an agreement with Emperor Hong Zhen early on, and went to the Lin family to marry in person.

Although Emperor Hongzhen felt that Tianyou had lost his status as a prince, he couldn't help having a wife who agreed to all his son's requests.In the end, he had no choice but to agree.When Tianyou arrived at Changning Palace, Emperor Hongzhen and the Queen were watching the little prince eating.Today the little guy also wore a bright red dress, looking very happy.Tianyou stretched out his hand to tease that tender little face, and then knelt down to salute Emperor Hong Zhen and the queen.

The queen smiled and helped Tianyou up: "From today on, you are truly an adult, you have your own wife, and you have your own home. You can't do what you think of like before, and you must always remember Looking after my wife, I want her to feel safe, you know?"

Tianyou nodded: "My son knows, thank you and teach me!" Emperor Hongzhen looked at his queen and son, smiled and blessed, but did not speak again.I just told Tianyou not to go to court today, but to go to Changyang Palace and wait for the Ministry of Rites to make preparations.

And Daiyu got up early, and said goodbye to Lin Haorui and Wushuang first.Even though Lin Haorui repeatedly stopped, Daiyu still respectfully saluted Lin Haorui, thanking him for his care and love over the years.

Although Lin Haorui still had a smile on his face, he really felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.For so many years, he has become used to thinking about Daiyu's mood and thinking about Daiyu first no matter what he does.All of a sudden, this little girl was going to get married, and no matter what happened in the future, he would no longer be her only support.This feeling really made him not know how to resolve it.

He thought to himself, if his father was still alive right now, he might feel the same way.

Daiyu naturally didn't know what Lin Haorui was thinking. After returning to Yanyu Pavilion, she was dragged by Nanny Song, Zijuan and others to take a bath several times. Daiyu was about to pass out after being washed. give up.

When Daiyu put on her middle coat and came out of the bathroom, Mrs. Chen Guogong, who was invited by Lin Haorui to comb Daiyu's hair, had also arrived.After Mrs. Chen Guogong said hello to Daiyu, she stood behind Daiyu and began to comb her hair. She combed very carefully, and every strand of hair was combed smoothly.

Zijuan, Xueyan and others watched with smiles on the side.At this time, Li Lan'er, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Xiangyun all came.Daiyu took a special look at Yingchun, but didn't find any difference, so she didn't say anything.

Mrs. Chen Guogong straightened Daiyu's hair and replaced it with a silver comb. Just as she was about to put it on Daiyu's head, everyone heard Wang Xifeng's hearty voice: "I haven't missed anything!"

Zijuan lifted the curtain with a smile, and welcomed Wang Xifeng in: "Second Grandma, come quickly, it's about to start!" Mrs. Chen Guogong smiled, and waited for Wang Xifeng to enter the inner room. He picked up the silver comb and combed it gently along the top of Daiyu's head.

"One comb, comb to the end."

"Second comb, white hair and eyebrows."

"Three combs, children and grandchildren are everywhere."

Mrs. Chen Guogong chanted softly, and the girls also chanted softly.Li Lan'er sighed: "This sentence is so beautiful. Sister Lin, this sentence will be a portrayal of your life in the future, and it will definitely be."

Daiyu reached out to hold Li Lan'er's hand: "It will also be a portrayal of my sister's life."
