Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, this day is the big appointment ceremony for Yingchun. Yingchun hides in the room, and only asks the maid to hand over a set of forehead wipes, purses and shoes to go out. She is so ashamed that she refuses to see anyone again.After another day, the third day is the official day of welcoming relatives on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.Just after five o'clock on this day, a lady who combed her hair came in to change clothes with Yingchun, comb her hair and make up her makeup. The set of hairpin rings on the bride's head were all in the private treasury of her grandmother, Mrs. Jia. I don't know how many boys, whichever means more children and more blessings.When it was Maoshi, all relatives and friends arrived, and the friends in the boudoir went in to bid farewell to Yingchun one by one, with endless auspicious words and endless blessings and prayers.After a while, Mother Jia sent Yuanyang to invite the girls out of the way, and a few people like Mrs. Xue repeatedly explained how to manage their lives in the future and how to get along with each other.

Finally, when the relatives had all gone to sit at the banquet, Jia Amnesty walked in to see Yingchun, he first looked around and saw that there were no people around, then he took a box and put it in the hand of the dowry girl Siqi: "Hide it! This is my private subsidy for your girls. If I give you too much, there must be someone in this family who is unwilling. Your girls are soft-tempered, and you are going to be bullied for nothing." Then she looked at Yingchun and sighed: "Your long I have never cared about you until you are so old. Now that you are going to marry, the father is always willing to let the girl live better. Now I have these things in my hand, and I will give you what I can. The other ancestors will stay. It’s not me who said, firstly, you don’t know how to manage it with you, and secondly, you make me worry because you are blind. You are not the kind of pungent character who can stand up, why don’t you Use these silver and jewelry slowly, don’t ask people to coax all the money away, and then go cry and drink the northwest wind.” After speaking, he put his hands on his stomach and left, Xing Xing from the beginning to the end Madam didn't come out, and no one mentioned it.

At three o'clock in the morning, the sedan chair for Nan'an Prince's Mansion arrived, Yingchun sobbed twice, and asked Xi Niangzi to stuff a bottle in her hands and carry it out.As soon as the sun shines, the golden lotus on the hijab and the mandarin ducks tied with five-color silk threads seem to be alive and dazzling.Some relatives and wives who were getting married praised loudly behind the curtain: "This family is blessed, the bride's hands are so skillful!" The welcoming team became more and more excited, and the sound of blowing and beating spread far away.Jia Lian is Yingchun's direct brother, who was chatting with the groom at this time, when he turned his head and saw the bride calling out to carry it out, she quickly moved out of the way, and the bride carried Yingchun firmly to the side of the wedding sedan chair, also wearing auspicious clothes to marry Xiuju hurriedly stepped forward to help him in.Xi Niangzi supported the completion of the following ceremony, ate the gold and silver rice, and asked the bride to cry at the scene, and the bridegroom called for the sedan chair, and the welcoming team went out to the Nan'an Palace.The concubine of Nan'an Prince's Mansion had a lot of classmates and friends at school, so he invited a few brothers and sisters to come to the door wearing auspicious clothes, and bustlingly carried 36 boxes of red rosewood all the way from the main gate of Rongguo Mansion, blowing and blowing to the south An Wang's mansion left.

Jia Amnesty wore a formal attire to greet the new son-in-law in front of him. At this time, the welcoming procession was leaving the door. Someone immediately put a basin for him, and a servant reminded him, so he rushed to the door to pour water Go out, turn around and come back, calling for a feast.This time, because it was a big ceremony to welcome the spring out of the boudoir, Daiyu and Baochai still came, but their faces were calm, and they didn't talk much to others.After about four or five dishes were served during the banquet, Daiyu got up and said goodbye to Jia Mu. Outside, Jia Lian couldn't keep Lin Ruhai, and she was afraid that people would see a joke, so she had to say a few nice words and tell Lin's father and daughter first. Two sent away.Later, Baochai sat next to Baoqin Xiangyun Tanchun, watched the dishes being served, and took Baoqin and Mrs. Xue to leave home together.

Because Yingchun is the concubine's daughter of the first-class general Jia She, except for the very close relatives of this generation, most of the four kings and eight kilometers are just young daughter-in-laws who bring girls over to play around, or they are not simply put in charge The daughter-in-law brought a gift to the door, and the rest was gone.The family was busy preparing New Year's sacrifices and family banquets, and had no intention of messing with it, so they sent the second girl out of the house in the Spring Festival. As long as they don't make mistakes, they will be meritorious.Mrs. Xue brought her daughters to sit in the carriage and was still not convinced. She wrung her fingers and said that she would urge the official matchmaker to make two more trips when she went back. It is peace of mind.

When they got home, both Xue Pan and Xue Biao were still busy outside. Bao Qin went back to the yard to rest for a while. look back and forth.Baochai guessed what she meant, and hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mom, what are you doing? You are in a hurry to marry a wife, and you are in a hurry to arrange a housemate for your brother. Before your sister-in-law has passed the door, she will be picked up by her mother-in-law. From now on How is life going? Look at the Mei family’s disrespectful behavior. We’d rather ask Miss Qin to stay at home for a few more years than take advantage of them. I’m afraid the girls are also so precious, and they won’t look good at that time. Why bother? Well." It's not that Mrs. Xue didn't listen to the persuasion, she just frowned and said, "I'm afraid that your brother is stupid, first arrange a roommate for him, and when your sister-in-law comes in, there will be a place to inquire about the news."

Baochai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can a decent lady want to find something to inquire about the news? Could it be that sister Qin and I are both dead? The sister-in-law's family can't say that they just like my brother's stupidity. Willing to marry into our merchant's family. If Yang Chuanlu listens to our embarrassment for his daughter-in-law and does not want to ask the girl to marry, where will he find it? He listened to me once. Think about it, when the daughter-in-law here is married, you have to If you want her to work with your housekeeper, you have to have children, and you have to take care of your elder brother. I'm afraid she won't be free all day long. If you want to be an old lord and have fun with your grandchildren, you shouldn't put her away early. Hug and coax, the same work is willing to be done and has to be done, how can the results be the same!" Mrs. Xue really thought it was right when she heard what she said, and she waved her hand and told the maids to disperse: "My son, it's thanks to you for bringing this up, otherwise I wouldn't know when I offended my wife. Once you get married in the future, with your brother's heart like an hourglass, he won't be sure if someone tries to mistreat me. I can see it, but it’s terrible." Baochai really made my old lady laugh angrily: "Why did they abuse you? Where have you read all the sage books? As the old saying goes, you can't slap your hand. If people are nice, they will naturally treat you well, no matter how good this is.”

Only then did Mrs. Xue calm down, touched her cheek and smiled, "Aren't you a fool? At one moment, she wished for her daughter-in-law to stand in front of her eyes, but at the other moment, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get along and make trouble every day. To be honest, this is not a nest, No matter how you raise it, you are not familiar with it, and thinking about it makes you feel awkward." Baochai patted her hand and said, "Sister Qin didn't see you like this when she came home, this sister-in-law hasn't entered our house yet, Why do you feel uncomfortable?" Mrs. Xue looked at her daughter with a smile and said, "Perhaps everyone is like this. It's strange that an outsider who has nothing to do with him suddenly comes to my own home." Baochai still advised her: "You just act like someone else's daughter who has nowhere to go and ask us to pick it up and raise it. You don't want to raise it or not, you just have a clear conscience."

The mother and daughter sat and chatted all afternoon in the flower hall. When Xue Pan went down to the office at night and bought big persimmons and came back to pay tribute, the little old lady took one and took a bite, her eyes narrowed and she said: "I My son is filial, and my mother really enjoys the blessing." He praised Xue Pan so much that he almost floated up, and hurriedly called for dinner to use before they all went to rest.

On the second day, Mrs. Xue invited the official matchmaker to come to the house again and said: "There is nothing wrong with Najib here, I thought you would go to Yang's house to ask, otherwise the wedding date will be set a year ago." Next, the two families should get ready for each other, or it won’t look good if they are in a hurry.” The official matchmaker responded, and invited Madam Su to accompany him to have a meal of wine and meat, and with a swipe of his mouth, they went to Yang’s house together with Xue’s New Year gift .When she arrived at Yang's house, the housekeeper there led her to meet Yang Chuanlu, and the official matchmaker explained Mrs. Xue's request again, and persuaded: "Since the Xiaoding has passed, it's better to get the big ceremony sooner than later. After all, the age of the girl is here. The mother-in-law is very sincere, and it's like this. It is said that there is no waiter in the house of the Xue family. It can be seen that the girl will have a smooth life when she gets married in the future. The husband's family respects face, and we here You have to be gentle, lively and happy to be a good couple, right?"

Yang Rui and Yang Chuanlu nodded and said: "Since that's the case, let's ask Xue's family to count the day and come here, so it won't make people look ugly." The official matchmaker was overjoyed, and went back to Xue's house after saluting Tell me.

Mrs. Xue was also happy to receive the good news, and immediately invited the master of the Muni Academy at home to open an altar and recite scriptures. It is considered that the next year's Shangyuan Day is the most suitable, and after that is the Flower Festival, Mrs. Xue detests this Days sounded bad, so I picked the previous one.It just so happened that Yang Chuanlu thought the same way, and the two families decided to take the ceremony of accepting levy on the 29th of the new year, and after the new year, they would invite the date and welcome the relatives.

On the morning of the 29th, Mrs. Xue made an appointment with Mrs. Wang Ziteng and his sister Mrs. Wang in advance. The official matchmaker led the way. Xue Bian, Xue Pan's brother, pressed the dowry box and drove to Yang's house in a car.The betrothal team went out from Xue's house in the east of the city, and carried two big white geese to the gate of Yang's house in the west of the city. The tail of the other team had not yet left the alley.On both sides of the road, there are people watching the excitement. When the team in front passes by, another boy behind him carries a basket of copper coins and sprinkles them along the way. So many people see the money clinking and rolling all over the ground. Just say a few auspicious words - everyone said that Xue's family is bold, and the married daughter-in-law must be very good, otherwise she would not be worthy of the high opinion of her in-law's family.

The car of the official matchmaker and the two wives arrived at Yang's house first, and Yang Chuanlu stood outside and greeted them with a few words of courtesy, then told them to unload the car and be dragged to the gate of the inner courtyard by a few servants.Mrs. Wang Ziteng, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Wang got out of the car, and the person who came to pick them up was the eminent nurse next to Princess Nanyang.Seeing Mrs. Chen, the mother immediately apologized and said with a smile: "It turns out that the wife condescended to come here. Aren't you a first-class Quanfu person in Manjing?" Ying Ying stood in the flower hall wearing a light yellow dress, and when she saw anyone, she knew that it was Mrs. Quan Fu invited by the Xue family. She immediately bent her knees and saluted.Mrs. Chen took two steps forward and pulled her up and down, then turned her head and said to Mrs. Wang: "Your family members have good eyesight, and you don't have such sharp eyes. Such a good girl was found by your sister, I wish I could Snatch it away?" Madam Wang also laughed and said, "Brother Pan has a good life, and he married such a good wife, and he will go on the right path more and more in the future." There was a girl who only kept her hair over there. The red lacquer plate contains a set of shoes and socks, a fan cover for a purse, and four old ladies’ favorites for wiping their foreheads in four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and then twelve handkerchiefs with twelve flowers, all of which are exquisite. , it looks like it was done with heart and seriousness.

Mrs. Chen looked at "Aiyo" and praised: "What a clever hand, so flexible and thoughtful, she is really a good girl who is one in a million!" It was to tell all the relatives and friends that they were very satisfied with this girl, and at this time, it happened to ask Mrs. Chen to talk about it to make fun of Yang Xuying.Mrs. Wang twitched her cheeks and patted Xu Ying's hand with a smile, saying: "Good boy, don't tire you out. After the year, Guining will be a family. You don't have to be so particular, it's just seeing someone else." Xu Ying Pursing their lips and bowing their heads in shyness, the two wives were naturally satisfied. After accepting the chisel worker, they got on the car and returned to Xue's house to report the letter.

At this time, Yang Chuanlu stood at the door of his house and looked at the two wild geese and four big geese in the yard, and his head ached. The yard rattled and rattled and was not clean.In the back, I saw all kinds of things in the betrothal gift, and everyone was stunned.I'm afraid that Xue's family has lost all their capital and even shoveled up the land of the house, so much that the Yang family's warehouse can't put it down.The Xue family was honest, and the Yang family was embarrassed, so neither side mentioned the amount of the dowry, and they were dumbfounded until this time.As soon as Yang Chuanlu clapped his hands, he didn't even open the betrothal gift boxes and piled them up in the yard. He directly asked someone to lift the two live geese to head them, and took half of the betrothal gifts from Xue's family back as they were, and left the remaining half behind. The dowry he had prepared for the girl was barely crammed into the house.

Let's not talk about Yang Chuanlu's headache here, but the two wives praised the young lady Yang's family after they came back. Mrs. Wang Ziteng praised Miss Yang for her ingenuity and ingenuity, and Mrs. Wang praised Miss Yang for her appearance. It made Mrs. Xue feel relieved a lot.The relatives dispersed after eating the thank-you feast. Mrs. Xue went to Baochai again and asked, "If we set a wedding date in Shangyuan next year, maybe the family can afford it?" Baochai thought for a while and said, "New Year's Eve The yard at home is newly repaired, only the older brother’s yard needs to be rectified, and then the storeroom at the back is vacated. The rest is nothing but preparations for the banquet, which has been arranged since Uncle Lin replied. Ten stops are ready for seven or eight stops." Xue's family owns a north-south shop, and what they need is just an extra cart when the guys deliver goods. The natural color is calm, there is no such a coincidence as Qiao Zong'er.

Mrs. Xue listened and said: "There are two housekeepers inside and outside the house, just do what you want. I think your brother's yard is repaired, cut flowers and trees. If the furniture is even worse, let's put a set of rosewood ones to watch the festival. If Yang If the family wants to measure the house and make the furniture, it’s okay to change it at that time.” Originally, these things, like the dowry and betrothal gift, were discussed between the two families, but just like the Spring Festival wedding, the two families are in a hurry, and in the end there are occasional omissions , I can only make do with such a nice big pleat.Baochai made up his mind, so he called the second steward: "Go and ask the Yang family what requirements they have for the courtyard, if you don't make it difficult for the in-laws, if you have anything to say, we, Meng Lang, are the ones who hired you today." After all, the elders in the family are happy, and I hope Master Yang will forgive me." The second housekeeper bowed his hands and went back to ask the Yang family for questioning. After about an hour and a half, he came back and said, "The Yang family said that the wood should be brought directly as a dowry. If there is any need, call Yang." After the girl passed through the door, she called for someone to call. It’s true that everyone is busy during the New Year’s Eve, and now even the carpenter has taken his bag home to celebrate the New Year, so he doesn’t take urgent work.”

Baochai replied: "That's good. What do you want to grow in the yard?" The second housekeeper said: "Miss Yang spread the word that as long as it is arranged by you, the girl, she must be good-looking, and there is no other requirement." " Baochai pondered for a moment and said: "Then plant some delicious and beautiful plants in the corner, and repair the places that are eye-catching and eye-catching according to the original appearance of our house. Only these servants are tight to order, waiting for sister-in-law Go through the door and give red envelopes to you." Speaking of which, all the servants in the family got busy, but fortunately, the population of Xue's family is simple, and it is easier to sacrifice family banquets, so they finally managed to get busy.Baochai didn't even respond to Daiyu's post. Fortunately, the Lin family knew that Xue's family was in a hurry to get married in the next year, so they were naturally considerate. The two girls wrote a few letters back and forth, and they felt closer to each other.

In the early 31st year, as usual, Mrs. Xue led Xue Pan Baochai to offer sacrifices to the ancestors. Xue Biao stood behind with Baoqin. The courtyard outside was full of servants kneeling and kowtowing.Mrs. Xue first reported to Master Xue that the people and animals in the family were safe this year. Although there were some disasters in the four villages due to the bad weather, they did not hurt the root cause. The priest said it again, and at the end he said beamingly: "Brother Pan can stand up now, thanks to the support of today's official status, and in the next year he can marry a good girl from a charming and scholarly family, you can rest assured!" Then Xue Panshang came up to tell the ancestors that everything was safe at home, and then told them about entering the Ministry of Rites and marrying a wife, and then Xue Biao came up and talked about taking care of the merchants and shops outside. Next came Baochai with Baoqin to talk about housework.Regardless of whether the ancestors are patient or not, in a word, Xue's family has been doing very well this year, please continue to bless Yunyun in the coming year, and don't rest until noon.

In the afternoon, the Xue family gathered around a table for a group feast, and asked the family members to set off some fireworks and firecrackers for fun.Baoqin was naughty, and followed Xue Biao to take a stick of incense to set off the firecrackers, so Mrs. Xue called her to come back, so that the firecrackers were wiped and rubbed, and the family did not rest until midnight.
