Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Before the wedding the next day, Lin Hai took a bath and changed his clothes as usual. He shaved off the long strands of long beard that had been obstructing his eyes for more than a year, and then he put on the groom's red gown and appeared in front of the wedding procession, satisfied and full of energy.

Accompanying Lin Hai to greet the bride are Jia She and Cheng Yin.Lin Hai had already mentioned to Jia She that he didn't want a young man like Jia Lian to accompany him to greet his relatives.They are all bearded at an age, and compared with Jia Lian, who is handsome and handsome, he looks even older.After Jia She laughed at Lin Hai, Mao recommended himself and dragged Cheng Yin out.It was to support Lin Hai's wedding.

Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Hai's teacher, was originally indifferent to Lin Hai's going to Beijing, but after hearing that Lin Hai was going to marry Annan County Lord, he still accepted Lin Hai's invitation and asked his old lady to come forward to Mrs. Li's house, Help complete the six rituals.Lin Hai disliked Chen Shangshu so much, and asked Elder Li several times, only recently did he know that it was because he was married to Jia Min, the son-in-law of Duke Jia Daishan.Lin Hai was also helpless, probably Chen Shangshu had forgotten that Lin Hai was also from a noble family.

People like Chen Shangshu, when the emperor was in power, started from Shujishi, Hanlin, and Hanlin scholars, to members of the Ministry of Rites, Wai Lang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and then to Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. up.In the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites, they kept their promises. If Lin Hai remarried, he would rather go to Mr. Li's house to have a banquet than to drink at Lin's house, so Lin Hai could only smile helplessly.

People from the Imperial Academy and the Ministry of Rites were divided into two groups, and went to Mr. Li's family and mansion respectively.Jia Amnesty, Cheng Yin, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Rong acted as the man's relatives for Lin Hai.

Jia She and Cheng Yin are also good-looking people, Jia She is mighty and Cheng Yin is elegant, but in front of Lin Hai who is wearing the groom's gown, they immediately become a foil.

While tying the big red silk flowers to Lin Hai, Jia Amnesty joked with Cheng Yin: "Ru Hai, if you want to shave, you should tell us both. Hey, Fansen, the capital is full, and we are the only ones who dare to accompany you." Lin Hai is going to get married. Others at this age will not dare to shame Tanhua Lang."

Cheng Yin knew that Jia She and Lin Hai had a good relationship, but his own son was not too young, but Jia She pulled him to accompany Lin Hai to welcome the bride.He just smiled and said: "Brother Xie, Enhou, you can see in a while, the groom Lin Hai is all on the street, and we two came out to make ourselves miserable. If the sea is still looking at the flowers, and the jade tree is facing the wind, the two of us are not as old as we are." It was 20 years ago."

"Tch, even 20 years ago, there were not many who could compare to the sea."

"Let Lian'er go with you." Cheng Yin didn't want to go with Lin Hai.

"Ru Hai is afraid that he will look old, the bride doesn't care about him." Jia She laughed, and Cheng Yin couldn't help laughing either.

Lin Haima walked in front, listening to Jia She and Cheng Yin talking and laughing behind, thinking that no matter how well maintained it was, it could not compare to Jia Lian's natural youthful vigor, and today he must not let Jia Lian's young Steal my scenery.

Turning around, he smiled brightly at the two of them, his eyes rolled, his color was brighter than spring, "Ruhai Xie Enhou, Fansen, let me give you a few more glasses later."

"Ruhai, what you said is nice, you want us to drink for you." Cheng Yin is familiar with Lin Hai, and also likes to associate with people with Lin Hai's personality, so he can't help teasing him.

"The one who knows me is not the Marquis of Grace, but Fansen."

The three talked and laughed, and Lin Hai was a little less nervous.

When we arrived at Mrs. Li's mansion, the gatekeepers were the two grandsons of Mrs. Li who had rushed back from other places. The eldest grandson of the direct son was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he hadn't started school yet, and the second grandson was only twelve or thirteen years old.Although he asked a few questions, saying that he was going to test Tanhualang, he lost to Lin Hai in a few rounds, and let Lin Hai in in frustration.Lin Hai stroked the hair of the two and a half children, each with two heavy purses, and said a few words of encouragement, which made the two brothers smile.

Jia She said: "Ruhai, it's too easy for you to enter this door."

Lin Hai turned his head and rolled his eyes, "Enhou, hold your hand high."

One sentence dispelled Jia Amnesty's idea of ​​giving advice to the two boys, but Jia Amnesty stretched out his big hand to Lin Hai.

Cheng Yin smiled: "Enhou, who do you belong to?"

Jia She smiled brightly, "I just can't see him welcoming the bride so easily."

Lin Hai turned around and stuffed two purses for Jia Amnesty.

Jia She shook his purse and smiled at Cheng Yin: "You see, hehe." He handed one to Cheng Yin and said, "Buy candy for your son."

Cheng Yin couldn't laugh or cry, but Jia She's body and demeanor were much better than before, and he was really happy for him.

According to Xi Niang's instructions, Lin Hai greeted the head of Annan County, bid farewell to Mrs. Li and his wife, and took the newlyweds who were covered in a veil and put on a sedan chair, and went back home by detour.Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the sedan chair was carried in from the middle door of the Lin Mansion.

With one hand, Lin Hai tied the red silk into one end of a red flower, and handed the other end to the newlywed who he had just helped down from the wedding sedan chair, and walked slowly, step by step, to the main hall.

Lin Hai didn't know what mood others were in when they greeted their relatives. Now his heart was beating like a drum, and his ears were filled with ridicule from colleagues from the Imperial Academy and the Ministry of Rites. Put on an inscrutable, smiling look.

After worshiping heaven and earth, Lin Hai sent the bride to the bridal chamber of the main courtyard.Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. You and Sister Feng and other visiting wives are crowded in the bridal chamber and waiting.Said to come to see the newlyweds, many people whispered: "I don't know if Tanhualang is old or not. More than 20 years ago, my sisters and I crowded in the window of the restaurant to watch Jinshi riding horses and boasting on the street. Whoops, what class is it?" Tanhua is not as handsome as Lin Hai."

Most of these women are also middle-aged, and several of them muttered, and together, the bridal chamber seemed to be noisy.But when he saw Lin Hai leading the bride in, he suddenly fell silent.

Time is too partial to this man.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Hai lifted the bride's hijab, and it turned out to be a horrible bridal makeup, with stereotypical willow eyebrows, white face and red lips, just like a Japanese geisha.Only the eyes were like cold stars, turning on Lin Hai's face, the brilliance was shining, and then he lowered his head shyly.

Lin Hai praised in his heart, good, wonderful eyes.

After the couple drank the Hebei wine, Jia Amnesty pulled Lin Hai and said, "Let's go, let's toast in front. You'll have to see later."

Lin Hai didn't know whether he was stared at by the many female relatives in the room or blushed a little because of Jia She's teasing. He bowed to the female relatives around him, and said with a loud smile, "Madams, please come to the table."

Lin Hai's voice was clear and bright, his jade face was reddish, and he stood upright like a green bamboo and a cypress, polite and polite, and instantly woke up the ladies who were stunned by Lin Hai.

Lin Hai bowed to the bride again, "Master, Ru Hai goes to the front to toast first." The bride paused, then slowly nodded to Lin Hai, and Lin Hai followed Jia She to the front.

Jia Amnesty felt sour, his sister was gone, but Lin Hai was more prosperous than before.When Lin Hai married his younger sister more than 20 years ago, the kiss he gave was also so polite. How happy he was for his younger sister at that time.well.

Jia Amnesty accompanied Lin Hai back to the front to toast. The elderly Hanlin in the capital did not know the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion.Seeing Lin Hai marrying again, Jia Amnesty and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials accompanied him to welcome the bride, and now they toasted Lin Hai together, and they all praised the good relationship between the Lin family and the Jia family. Respect.Some people also made a new assessment of Lin Hai's position in Jinshang's heart because of Cheng Yin's appearance.

Jia Amnesty and Cheng Yin only accompanied Lin Haijing to two tables, their official positions and status were similar to Cheng Yin's, and then they were accompanied by Jia Zhen and Jia Lian.While toasting, Lin Hai introduced Jia Lian to his colleague, the same year, whom he should know.Everyone was full of praise for Jia Lian, the grandson of Mrs. Zhang, Lin Hai's only student who entered the house, and Jia Lian, who was elected at the age of 20.It's more of a compliment or a wish that Enke next year will be the same as Lin Hai in high school.

Jia Lian didn't know whether it was because of the alcohol or because his face was flushed with embarrassment. After a while, he gave Lin Hai youth and no strength to drink, and asked someone to help Jia Lian back to the west courtyard.

Cheng Yin and Jia She said in a low voice, "Your brother-in-law can do it."

Jia She nodded, "In a few days, I will send his young couple to study at Lian'er's uncle Zhang's house, and they will come back in about three to five years." His voice was full of complexity, reluctance, and helplessness.

Cheng Yin nodded, this is the best way.Three or five years later, when scholars in the capital see Jia Lian again, with the strength of the Zhang family, they may be able to educate others to the level of juren, and they will no longer be afraid of the possible threats from Jia Yucun.

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites at the same table complimented Jia She, "Master Jia has this son, he is not inferior to the eldest son."

The atmosphere of the banquet was warm, and Lin Hai soon got a little drunk.

Jia Zhen and his son carried Lin Hai to see them off, while Jia She stood at the gate of Lin's mansion to see off the guests.After seeing off the guests, Wang Shanbao's family came up and asked, "Master, Madam asked if you want to go back together?"

Jia Amnesty had lived in the Lin Mansion for a few days, thought about it and said, "Let your wife go first, I'll go back later."

Wang Shanbao's family gave Jia Amnesty a blessing, walked a few steps and turned back, "The second girl said, the master asked her to stay in the Lin residence?"

"Well, Yingchun is staying in the Lin Mansion. Let the wife go back first."

Jia Amnesty pressed the aching temples from drinking too much, thinking about what Jia Lian said to him last night, that he really ignored Yingchun and Cong'er.Seeing Daiyu's lively temperament, and seeing Yingchun's shrinkage and alienation, alas, he sighed, even Lian'er, I didn't care about it.It really became what Lin Hai said to raise but not teach!Fortunately, Lian'er taught Lin Hai to understand the truth. Otherwise, these three motherless children would be no different from fatherless, and they would all live by Erfang's face.

Jia Zhen and his son sent Lin Hai back to the gate of the main courtyard, handed it over to the maid who came out to pick him up, and then returned to the front courtyard, and brought Jia Amnesty back to Ningrong Street.
