Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Yingchun's wedding is on the eighth day of May, and on May [-]th, the man will give the dowry and the woman will treat guests.

On this day, the Zhang family of the old prince's family in Rongfu came. The historian was sent back to his hometown, and only Xiangyun was in Beijing. She was indeed here on behalf of the Wei family.In addition, the Liu family, Niu family, Chen family, and Hou family that were left in Bagong's mansion all sent their female relatives to visit.

Although Shi Keming of the Shi family recovered, he had a grudge against Jia Lian, became an eunuch and had no female relatives, and was unwilling to associate with others. Therefore, the Shi family withdrew from the eight princes.

Although the Liu family was also defeated, Liu Zimo was defeated by Feng Tangbao.Therefore, now Liu's family has him to support the appearance, and he has friendship with Jia Lian. On this day, the former old Bagong's mansion came out of Shi's house.

There are also new relatives from younger generations, Jia Yun's in-law's family Doctor Du, Yuan Chun's in-law's Zhen Guogong's mansion, Xiangyun's in-law's General Wei's mansion, and the Zhen family also sent Zhen Baoyu and his wife to congratulate them.Today's Zhen family is not as good as it used to be, and the Zhen family turned their heads to curry favor with Zhen Yinglian and Jia's family.

Tanchun's in-laws, Yu's family, hid in Huguang and were absent because they were disgraced by Yu Liuyue last time.

However, Yu Liuyue was very generous and rewarded Yingchun with a pair of jade ruyis, plus a box of brocade produced by Jiangning Weaving House, which are treasures that cannot be bought with money.

On this day, Yingchun, accompanied by sisters Daiyu Tanchunxichun and nieces Qiao and Qian, accepted the congratulations of relatives and added make-up. Just adding make-up made up twelve dowries.

If Jia Lian was present, she would definitely be moved. In her previous life, when she married Yingchun, her dowry was only 36 liters, and each box was thin and not full.

Today, the Feng family's next hire is 78 taels, a total of [-] silver.This is the betrothal gift price for the wife of the prince of the government.However, the Feng family had also discussed with Sister Feng before, and Sister Feng said that the dowry of the Rong Mansion was [-] silver, and Jia Lian would marry him with [-] silver to welcome the Spring Festival, so Madam Feng hired [-] silver.

In fact, Yingchun's dowry was more than this amount. Jia's mother subsidized Yingchun three thousand silver in private, Jia Amnesty gave five thousand silver, and Youshi Yinglian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each gave Yingchun one thousand silver for their private houses.Li Wan and Ke Qing also gave two hundred silver to add makeup.

Sister Feng gave Yingchun all the betrothal gift from the Feng family, plus Yingchun's dowry was more than 7 silver, and there was a thousand acres of barren hills in the Yingchun dowry, where there were many hot springs. According to Jia Lian, in the future It will increase in value by ten or twenty times. Now it is worth [-] silver, and it may become [-] in the future.

In addition to these, the dowry also included imported magenta sapphires from Franji, pearls of various colors, ladies' dresses, crystal glasses, and crystal zodiac signs. They were also packed up as old things, and she would take them back with her when she returned home, and these were not included in the dowry list.

All in all, not to mention the appreciation of the barren hills, the dowry for Yingchun would not be able to beat the total of [-] silver.

Sister Feng quietly told Yingchun: "Don't take out the bank notes for the dowry tomorrow, but carry them with you, so as not to be too conspicuous. After passing through the door, just quietly find a chance to show your mother-in-law, and let her know that our Jia's house is double or triple. Dowry my daughter."

Yingchun Fu replied: "Thank you, Sister Feng, I will make a note of it."

The next day is the day when Yingchun gets married.

On this day, Yingchun got up and got busy at Yinshi, and Yingchun, the bride, also got up immediately. The sisters gathered in Yingchun's boudoir, and Grandma Xi began to make up Yingchun's face.

At that time, the sedan chair of Feng's family came to the door, and Baoyu, Jialan, Jiacong, Qiu, brothers and nephews went to stop it.On Yingchun's side, we bid farewell to Jia's mother, Jia Amnesty, and sisters and relatives in Rongxi hall.

However, Feng Ziying's wedding reception team attracted the attention of thousands of people. Except for the two Mrs. Quanfu, the rest invited 36 inner court guards to welcome the bride.

As the guards of the inner court, one can imagine that to serve in front of the emperor, one must not only have high martial arts skills, but the most basic point is to be handsome.

In this way, the team came out from Feng's house and rode all the way on green horses of the same color, blowing and blowing, it was really empty for thousands of people, eager to watch.

This is the guard is the best man to welcome the bride.There were also those who carried the sedan chair, 16 people came to carry the sedan chair eight times. This is because the groom felt sorry for the bride and asked for a substitute, fearing that the manpower for carrying the sedan chair would not be enough to bump the bride.

These sixteen sedan chairmen were not small in background, and they were all from the Holy Army of Xishan.Everyone in the Fengsheng Army knows that after being baptized in Ping Anzhou and Haijiang, the minimum is from the fifth rank.

There are 210 and six people in Jia's dowry delivery team. Hey, don't underestimate these dowry bearers, they are Jia Lian's Imperial Forest Army left in Xishan.The Royal Forest Army was even more serious, except that the lowest status was from the fifth rank, and half of them had titles.

This kind of dowry carrying team, except for the prince's wedding and the princess's wedding, is really unique and unprecedented, and it is also the first in Kyoto.

There is also the groom who welcomes the bride. Not only is he talented and handsome, but he also holds an important position, ranking third in the official rank.

There is also a sending off team, which is also extraordinary.

Originally, Sister Jia Lian and Feng should send off the relatives in person, because Jia Lian is busy with official duties, so the two brothers Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were arranged by the Jia family to send off the relatives.

Jia Rong is now the minister of the Ministry of War, and Jia Qiang is also a doctor of the Ministry of Industry. No one dares to despise Yingchun when these two handsome and important nephews come forward.And everyone knows that Jia Yingchun also has an elder brother, Jia Lian, who is a great official in the frontier.

Among the peers, Baoyu and Jia Cong, Jia Cong Baoyu has now become a scholar. As the son of everyone, it is very rare to be admitted as a scholar.

Among the younger generation, Brother Yu and Jia Lan were also among the family members.

Jia Lan is also born as a scholar now, and he plans to join the Qiu family in the second half of the year. My brother did not have an imperial examination, but he already has the title of Captain of Qingche. He is also the future heir of the Rongguo Mansion. Outsiders look at him, he is golden. boy.

Originally Brother Hao and Brother Jie were going too, and Jia Amnesty and Mother Jia thought it would be good to have these two together, but Sister Feng felt that this boy was too young and a little unreliable, so maybe they were not allowed to participate in the send-off.

There were eight people who sent off their relatives in this way, and the two nephews and daughters-in-law were well-educated, gentle and demure, a sign of life.Brothers and nephews, all of them are facing the wind and have a bright future.

When the eight parties come to congratulate, they must be inseparable from the eight, and the meaning of the eight is also very good.

Jia Rong and the others sent their relatives back to report to Mother Jia and others, saying that the Feng family respected the family sending off team of Jia's family very much, and the seats were at the top of the row. to accompany.

Because there are handsome guys like Baoyu Jialanyu on the male side, the Feng family directly let Feng's parents, Feng Zilan and third son Feng Zidong, accompany them. People took turns to bombard the male guests who sent off their relatives to get drunk and get on the table.

When returning home, each of the eight relatives has a gift.The six unmarried boys also got red envelopes.

Jia's mother was very satisfied: "This is the courtesy of the Feng family, and it also shows that the son-in-law's family attaches great importance to our family. We will take care of our son-in-law when we return home in three days."

Three days later, when Yingchun returned home, her face was radiant, her eyes were full of charm, and her brows were brimming with happiness.

In addition to Yingchun's four big maids and four big wives, the accompanying mothers-in-law also had four daughter-in-laws from the Feng family accompanying them, and the gifts that came back to the door pulled four carts. From top to bottom in Rongguo Mansion, everyone There is an appropriate gift to offer, which is extremely grand.

Sister Feng also hated the generous servants of the Feng family, whether they were pullers or respectable ones, they specially arranged banquets, and sent butlers Lin Zhixiao and Zhao Liangdong to greet them.Before leaving, everyone has a first-class red envelope.

Feng Jia's marriage can be described as harmonious.

After Yingchun got married, Tanchun's marriage was still a few months away, and Sister Feng had a little leisure time.

Three days later, Mother Jia summoned Sister Feng to speak.

To be honest, Sister Feng was very afraid that Mother Jia would talk to her, because with the current status of the Lin family, Uncle Lin was in the Ministry of Rites, and there was a huge difference between him and Jia Zheng, an old dude who was idle at home.

Besides, Sister Feng is a junior, so she can't talk to Uncle Lin.Although Daiyu herself has a good impression of Baoyu, her parents are the ones who decide the marriage of her children.

Uncle Lin is indifferent to Jia's mother's name, so what can Sister Feng do?

Sister Feng went to Rongqing Hall with anxiety. Sure enough, Mother Jia wanted to discuss Baoyu's marriage.

What Jia Mu wanted was to ask Sister Feng to use the honor of Mrs. Hou to invite someone to come to discuss with Uncle Lin.

Sister Feng was very embarrassed: "In theory, the grandson's wife shouldn't refute the old ancestor's words, but Baoyu really has both parents. It's really not up to my sister-in-law next door to take care of this marriage. Besides, Uncle Lin made it clear that he wanted to recruit a son-in-law. Fireworks, do you think I can tell Uncle Lin to stop thinking about recruiting a son-in-law? Isn’t this to destroy the family’s cigarette offspring? Unless, the old ancestor promised that Baoyu can marry, then we can talk about it.”

Jia's mother flatly refused: "This is not possible, our family is not without food, how can we be a door-to-door son-in-law?"

Sister Feng said: "Yes, you mean nothing wrong, but Uncle Lin wants to sit down and recruit a husband, so it's not wrong to continue the fireworks? How do you ask your granddaughter-in-law to speak up? Besides, the second uncle has to come forward for this matter." Only then, I have negotiated with others, it is useless if the second uncle refuses to admit it."

Mother Jia sighed: "Is it so difficult for me to do something when I am dying?"

Sister Feng smiled wryly: "Who made the Lin family's uncle do such a good job in being an official and has no son!"

Jia's mother stared at Sister Feng: "You are usually very clever, so there is nothing you can do?"

Sister Feng shook her head: "Unless you agree to recruit a wife!"
