The Red House of the Concubine of the Jia Family

We got married in May, the time was too tight, and there were no good days in June and July. In the end, Lu Qi'an's marriage was fixed on August [-]th, which is an auspicious day for marriage.

The eldest son of the family got married, and Jia Xuan and his wife had been deliberating for several days just about the invitation they sent out. It's just that some of the following dog legs have been lost, and the real core figures, such as the Zhen family, haven't moved yet.

The Lu family and the Jia family are also related by marriage. If it is true, there are many relatives in the capital. , the Xue family, etc., the Lu family did not invite them at all, and Lu Yan only invited some colleagues in the workplace. For this reason, Jia Xuan specially made a discussion with the Mei family in advance-only saying that the parents at home had not yet It is not advisable to make a fuss during the filial piety period.Fortunately, the Mei family was reasonable and understood the Lu family's concerns, so they didn't say anything.

On August [-]th, the Lu family was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and Jia Xuan and his wife even went to bed together with smiles on their faces, thinking that the daughter-in-law would come in today, and it would be windy to walk.

"Auntie, congratulations..." After all, Jia's family are serious relatives. Although according to the custom, the main table at the man's side should be a dinner party, Wang Xifeng arrived in the morning with Daiyu, Tanchun, Yingchun, and Baoyu.

"Same joy, same joy" Jia Xuan smiled and invited people inside. The backyard has been specially cleaned up and a few tables have been set up in an open space, and cakes and tea fruits have also been placed on the tables.

The Lu family and Daiyu are quite familiar with each other, but now it feels strange to clean up like this. The children looked around and thought the courtyard was very beautifully arranged. "Auntie, did you arrange this yard yourself? It's so beautiful..."

"Yes, yes." Tanchun, Yingchun, etc. nodded repeatedly. The yard was decorated with a lot of tender pink gauze and bright red silk, giving people a beautiful and warm feeling.

"It's fine if you think it's pretty, but I'm afraid it won't be good." Jia Xuan laughed, and chatted with Wang Xifeng and the others for a while before going out to greet the new guests.

After lunch, Lu Qi'an was about to go out to pick up the bride. Jia Xuan carefully arranged the groom's official dress for her son, and put a red flower on her chest. Not to mention, I used to feel awkward seeing other men wear big red flowers. Now that my son wears it, he only thinks it looks good, no one can compare to it...

Lu Yan couldn't stand the mother and son, and kept urging, "Okay, it's almost time, hurry up, don't miss the auspicious time"

Because there are still five hurdles to kill and six generals to go there, Lu Qi'an will bring a large group of relatives, friends and best man, plus those who play and play, and those who carry the sedan chair, a huge group of people.

When Lu Qi'an picked up the people and came back, the sky had already darkened.

According to the wedding customs, the moment the groom shoots at the sedan chair door, the bride gets off the sedan chair, crosses the brazier, crosses the saddle, worships heaven and earth, and is sent into the bridal chamber, Jia Xuan suddenly realizes that her son has grown up, and the young child in the past is now married. Soon, she will be a grandma... No, she is already a grandma, but Cen'er already has...

For a moment, Jia Xuan felt unreal, and it was not until Lu Yan pulled Jia Xuan that Jia Xuan returned to reality.

The next day, the new daughter-in-law was happily married. The new daughter-in-law was sweet and pleasant, well-mannered and well-bred, and Jia Xuan was very satisfied.

"Ma'am, it's not good..."

"What's wrong?"

"There is news from Jiangnan that Mr. Lin is not well..."

Jia Xuan was taken aback, "Where's Daiyu?"

"Miss Lin is packing up her things and is going to follow the second master to the south of the Yangtze River... The Jia family sent someone to ask if we have anything to bring or order?"

"Master, uncle, where's the second master?" Today Lu Yan rested at home and did not go to the Imperial College.

"Master is taking a test in the outer court to teach him knowledge. Second Master invited friends to drink tea today and went out early in the morning."

"Immediately ask someone to find the second master, and then invite the master and uncle to come back."

"What's the matter? Call us back?" The news from Jia's mansion came directly to the back house, and Lu Yan didn't know about Lin Ruhai's news in the front yard.It was a rare day off today. Lu Yan was telling his son how to write a standard essay when Jia Xuan called him back.

"Brother-in-law Lin is seriously ill, and Daiyu is going back to the south of the Yangtze River. I was thinking, should I ask Xin An to go with me?" After all, Lin Ruhai had planned to get married before, but due to the delay in Qi An's marriage, it has not yet been decided, and it is impossible I don't know what Lin Ruhai's plan is now.If this marriage is really settled, Xin An, as a son-in-law, should go see off his father-in-law.

"Why so fast?" Lu Yan thought that Lin Ruhai would last for a while, "Xin'an is really going there." Lu Yan nodded, "You pack his things now, who is going to Jia's?"

"Lian'er went over..."

"That's okay." If Jia Lian was a little out of tune before, after the division of the Jia family, Jia Lian has become more aware of his progress, and he is much more at ease than before. He is at ease with Lu Yan.

"Mother, father, big brother", Xin An was called back hastily.

After Jia Xuan gave some instructions, she arranged for suitable people to follow her, then hurriedly sent them to Jia's mansion, and followed Jia Lian and Daiyu to the south of the Yangtze River.

Besides, on Lin Ruhai's side, Lin Ruhai's body is indeed exhausted and completely dilapidated. The doctor has issued a death notice, saying that he can last for more than two months at most.

If it weren't for this, Lin Ruhai wouldn't have asked people to go to the capital to pick up her daughter in a hurry, just to be able to arrange her daughter's second half of the day and see her for the last time.

"Lin Zhong, are all the things I asked you to prepare ready?" In the past two days, Lin Ruhai had someone check the accounts at home, the warehouse was also re-counted, and the account books were re-made, and the lamps were boiled. , took great pains to divide the family property into three shares (one to go up to honor the present, one to the Lin family, and one to Daiyu), just to help Daiyu keep more property.Although the Lin family has been passed down for several generations and has no close family members, the Lin family is still there. Once he goes, Daiyu, an orphan girl, will not be bullied if she has no one to support her. The Lin family has accumulated such a huge family business for several generations. How much can fall on Daiyu's head?

After thinking about it, Lin Ruhai paid more attention to the marriage between Daiyu and the Lu family, and immediately spread paper and ink to write a letter to Lu Yan.

"Ahem..." Because of his poor health, Lin Ruhai wrote a letter intermittently for nearly an hour, during which time he coughed up blood.

"Master, please rest for a while"

"I'm fine." Lin Ruhai shook his head, "Go and get the rosewood box next to my bed."

The box was selected by Lin Ruhai before, and it was an engagement token for Daiyu's future husband...
