Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

More than a month after Jia Lian's coronation ceremony ended, another important day ushered in, that is, the dowry ceremony.

The eighth day of the seventh lunar month is the day when Liuyuan Mansion gives a betrothal gift to the dealer.

The Zhuang family is a relative of the emperor, so the dowry gift is naturally indispensable.

The betrothal gifts of the Dalong Dynasty were generally gold and silver jewellery, silk and satin, clothing and bedding and other items.In addition to these, rich and noble families will also specially order some pure gold jewelry for the woman, the common ones are bracelets, earrings, earrings, and rings.In addition to these jewelry, there are other things, such as benediction cakes, seafood, three animals, fish, coconuts, wine, Sijing fruits, raw fruits, etc., which represent various good meanings.

The betrothal gifts are basically these things, and the Liuyuan Mansion has prepared one hundred betrothal gifts, which means a hundred years of good marriage.The one-hundred-billage dowry prepared by Liuyuan Mansion is not the most in the capital, nor is it the least, one hundred can be said to be the regulation of the aristocratic family.

Although Liuyuan Mansion is not a family, but the Zhuang family is a relative of the emperor, so it is natural to make a dowry according to the standards of the family.

When the man sends the dowry gift to the woman, he also specially prepares a gift of love for the woman.

For this gift of love, Jia Lian struggled for a long time, not knowing what to give.The gift of love here is not as casual as the gift of love in the previous life.Exchanging love gifts at the time of dowry, means that the other party has been identified in this life, and this love will never change!

Jia Lian thought about it for a long time, but she didn't know what to give.One day, when I went out with Jia Amnesty to buy things for the dowry, I saw a pair of jadeite hook jade.This pair of Gouyu is very common in style, but there is a line in Gouyu.Put this pair of hook jade together, and the thread in their bodies can also be connected together.Jia Lian thought the lines inside the pair of jades were very interesting, they could be put together to form an ellipse.He fell in love with this pair of Gouyu at a glance, and decided to take this pair of Gouyu as a gift of love.

He not only gave a pair of Gouyu as a gift of love, but also specially drew an oil painting and gave it to Zhuang Jingrong as a betrothal gift.

In the early morning of the eighth day of the eighth day, people from Liuyuan Mansion carried a hundred dowry gifts and went to the dealer in a mighty way.

On the way to the woman's home, drums and music should be accompanied, which is very festive and lively.

I heard that Zhuang Scholar Lang was going to give a betrothal gift to Miss Zhuangjia today. The people in the capital were very curious and ran to the street to see how much the Zhuang Scholar Lang's betrothal gift was.

The common people looked at and counted at the same time, a total of one hundred boxes.

Although they knew that the standard of dowry from the aristocratic family was [-] liters, seeing that Zhuangyuan Lang also gave [-] liters still shocked the common people in the capital.

The girls who came to watch the scene were full of jealousy and unwillingness when they saw the whole hundred liters of dowry.Zhuang Jingrong once again became the object of envy and hatred of Beijing girls.

The mighty team passed through the busiest street in the capital and arrived at the dealer.

The dealer's door opened early in the morning, waiting for the dowry gift from Liuyuan Mansion.

Today is the day when the Liuyuan mansion gives the dowry, and all the immediate relatives of the Zhuang family have come.

The people of Liuyuan Mansion put the one-hundred-carriage betrothal gift in the middle hall of the dealer for the relatives and friends of the dealer to watch.

The Zhuang family was very satisfied when they saw the one hundred dowry gift from Liuyuan Mansion.

Gao Qi followed to give the dowry gift, and after the one hundred loads of dowry gift was put away, he took out the gift book and handed it to Mr. Zhuang.

Because the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, and the date of the marriage was set by the emperor, the two families saved the auspicious day for discussing marriage.

Gao Qi took out a brocade box and a pair of paintings from the dowry gift, and handed them to Master Zhuang on behalf of Jia Lian.

"Master Zhuang, this is a gift from my young master to Miss Zhuang, a pair of Gouyu." Gao Qi had a festive smile on his face, "My young master said to give Miss Zhuang a pair of Gouyu, which represents a pair of Gouyu for a lifetime. people!"

Gao Qi's words immediately made the audience gasp.

One pair for life people!

what does this mean?

Zhuangyuan Lang's promise is too childish, and a little too solemn!

In this world, there are a few men who can fulfill the promise of being a couple for a lifetime!

Seeing that the Zhuang family was shocked, Gao Qi was very satisfied, and said in a very proud tone: "My young master also said that he doesn't make promises easily, and once he makes a promise, he will keep it for a lifetime! This is his promise to Miss Zhuang. It is also a guarantee to Mr. Zhuang!"

Lord Zhuang didn't expect Jia Lian to make such a solemn promise, which surprised him very much.When I was hired, I made such a promise. If I violated this promise in the future, I would be mercilessly ridiculed. At that time, I would lose face and become the object of ridicule by the whole capital.

"Tell your young master that I have received his sincerity!" Master Zhuang thought to himself, since Jia Lian dared to make such a promise, it means he can do it.In this way, as a father, he can safely hand over his daughter to him.

Gao Qi and the others delivered the betrothal gift and exited perfectly.

After the recruiting team from Liuyuan Mansion left, the dealer exploded.The relatives and friends of the Zhuang family asked Mr. Zhuang to open the dowry gift, so that they could see and see.

Master Zhuang opened the betrothal gift, and the relatives and friends of the Zhuang family were shocked by Liuyuan Mansion's generosity.

Relatives and friends congratulated Mr. Zhuang one after another, congratulating him on finding a good son-in-law.

After watching the betrothal gift, Mrs. Zhuang gave the gift of love from Jia Lian to her daughter.

"Do you know what this pair of Gouyu represents?" Mrs. Zhuang asked intentionally.

Zhuang Jingrong looked at the pair of Gouyu in his hand, and soon found that there was a thread in Gouyu's body. When the Gouyu was pieced together, the thread in their bodies was also connected.

"do not know."

"My future son-in-law said that this pair of Gouyu represents a pair of people for a lifetime!"

When Zhuang Jingrong heard this, his eyes widened instantly, looking extremely surprised.

Xia Ying on the side exclaimed directly: "A couple for a lifetime?"

"My future son-in-law also said that he won't make promises lightly, once he promises, he will keep it forever! This is a promise to you, and also a guarantee to your father!" Mrs. Zhuang is now satisfied with Jia Lian's son-in-law 100 million times.

Zhuang Jingrong, who has always been calm and calm, showed a stunned look for the first time, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"Rong'er, mother is so happy for you."

Zhuang Jingrong was stunned for a long time before recovering from the huge shock, but his expression was still a bit unbelievable: "He really said that?"

"Really, the housekeeper in his house said it in front of our farmer's family instead of him."

Zhuang Jingrong's heart was full of emotion at this time, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Miss, my uncle..." Xia Ying couldn't believe that a man would make a promise to a woman that he would be a couple for the rest of his life when he was giving the dowry gift!

"Rong'er, my uncle is a good man. No man makes such a solemn promise like him when giving the dowry!"

"En!" Zhuang Jingrong didn't expect Jia Lian to make such a promise, which was beyond her understanding, and she still couldn't believe it was true.

"Seeing my uncle like this, I believe that after you marry, you will be happy!" Now she can safely marry her daughter to Liuyuan Mansion.

Zhuang Jingrong's heart was not only deeply moved, but also deeply sweet and happy.

"Young master gave you such a precious gift as a token of love, you can't give it lightly in return."

"Mother, don't worry, he gave me such a promise, and I will promise him the same promise."

"Then prepare well." Although it is said that when giving the dowry, the man and the woman exchange gifts of love, but in fact only the man gives the gift of love to the woman.The woman's gift of love should be handed over to the man on the day of marriage.

"In addition to the gift of love, the betrothal gift from my uncle's family is also very sincere." Mrs. Zhuang handed the gift book of Liuyuan Mansion to Zhuang Jingrong, "You can see for yourself."

Xia Ying turned her head to look, and when she saw the first few lines, she opened her mouth wide in shock.

"Miss, uncle, he is really sincere!"

Zhuang Jingrong nodded slightly: "Well, I am very sincere!"

"Grandpa is so sincere, we can't lag behind, it seems that we need to add something to your dowry." They must not be underestimated.

Soon, Jia Lian's promise to Zhuang Jing that he would be a couple for a lifetime spread throughout the capital, causing quite a stir.

The women felt that Zhuangyuan Lang was too affectionate, and they were so jealous of them that they wished to replace him.

Men think that Zhuangyuan Lang is too hypocritical and too stupid. There are a few men in this world who can live as a couple for a lifetime, and have only one wife for a lifetime.

No matter what, Jia Lian's promise became a good story, which was talked about by the women in the capital.

When Anhe Wangfu learned of Jia Lian's promise, he felt very uncomfortable.After finally letting go of Jia Lian's Wu'er, hearing this promise, he cried sadly again.

When Wang Xifeng heard this promise, she was so jealous that she almost hated Zhuang Jingrong who stole her marriage.If there is no Zhuang Jingrong, Jia Lian's promise is hers.

As a woman, I hope that my husband will only have one wife.However, few men make such a promise, and few men keep it.

Jia She felt that his son was too stupid to have only one woman in his life.

"You have nothing to promise."

"I was serious."

Jia Amnesty: "..."

"There is only one woman in your life, do you want to be laughed at to death?" Is there any man who has only one woman.It is a very shameful thing for a man to have only one wife and one woman.

"One woman is enough, they can laugh if they want to." Jia Lian said nonchalantly.

Jia She stared at Jia Lian bitterly, "How could I have such a worthless son like you?"

"Like if you have countless women?" Jia Lian's tone was full of sarcasm, "If there are many women, there will be more right and wrong. I don't want to have peace at home every day."

Jia She: "...Are you really my son?" As his son, he didn't inherit his fine traditions.

Jia Lian gave Jia Amnesty a blank look, and didn't bother to talk to him.

Jia Min and Mrs. Xing felt that Jia Lian's behavior was very manly, and they appreciated his approach very much.

After the dowry, the next step is to get married.

Before getting married, there are still many things to be busy, but Jia Lian, the official groom, is not busy for the time being.

As time progressed, Jia Lian became nervous and hopeless.He had lived two lives, and this was his first marriage, so of course he would be nervous.

In my previous life, I was busy with my career and didn't get married to start a family.In this life, I will get married and start a family at the age of 15.He suddenly felt a heavy pressure and responsibility on his shoulders, but of course he didn't feel flustered.

It's not that he brags, he is a responsible person, once married, he will take care of the family.

Jia Lian didn't know that because of what he said about the dowry, his future wife decided to give him a big gift.

During this time, Zhuang Jingrong was in the kitchen every day.Misses from rich families are not allowed to go to the kitchen, as they will feel ashamed.

Zhuang Jingrong knew that Jia Lian liked to eat, so he wanted to learn a good cooking skill. When he got married, he could cook for him.

Master Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang did not stop their daughter from learning cooking skills. This was the daughter's wish for the future son-in-law. They were happy to see the success and would not stop her rigidly.

Zhuang Jingrong pays special attention to learning how to make cakes, because Jia Lian likes to eat cakes.She has some talent in cooking, she learns it very quickly, and the food she cooks is also very delicious.

"My son-in-law will be blessed in the future." Mrs. Zhuang praised while eating the pastry made by her daughter.

"Mother said so, then I feel at ease."

Mrs. Zhuang felt a little distressed when she saw her daughter's hands were bruised and scarred from learning how to cook during this period of time, but she didn't say anything.

Zhuang Jingrong didn't think there was anything wrong with learning cooking for Jia Lian. Jia Lian was willing to be a couple for the rest of his life because of her. It was nothing or nothing special for her to learn cooking for him.

There are many rules for getting married in ancient times. Let alone the rules on the day of getting married, let’s talk about some rules in the few days before getting married.

Three to five days before marriage, the man will give the woman a "carriage in front of the sedan chair", usually two geese, one side of meat, two fishes, etc.

On the day before the marriage, the man wants to "set up the bed". A "Quanfu" woman takes 24 pairs of chopsticks and tie them with red threads, and puts them under the groom's mat, which is called "set up the bed".One to three nights before getting married, a little boy with both parents sleeps with the groom and sleeps inside the bed.In the evening, the little boy will be given buns, peanuts, and eggs, which means "to give birth to a son".

Jia's mother proposed to let Jia Baoyu sleep with Jia Lian, the groom. After all, Jia Baoyu's parents are there, and he is Jia Lian's younger brother.However, Jia Mu's proposal was rejected by Jia Lian.

Just kidding, if something happens to Jia Baoyu with him, the old woman will definitely settle the score with him.Besides, Jia Baoyu is a brat, and he doesn't want to spend the first three days with a brat.

Also, let Jia Baoyu come to sleep with him, maybe the old woman will talk about it in the future.

Jia Lian refused because Jia Baoyu was too young, and asked Wei Jiashen's six-year-old grandson to sleep with him.Wei Jiashen's grandson is very quiet, obedient and obedient, not afraid of strangers.

On the second day of August, good luck, a good day for everything.

Just after dawn, the gate of Liuyuan Mansion opened, and the servants in the mansion hurried in and out, hanging up the red silk and red lanterns that had been prepared a long time ago.After a while, Liuyuan Mansion turned into a sea of ​​red, very festive.

After people dress up Liuyuan Mansion, Jia Lian and the others will also get up.

Because the auspicious time for welcoming the relatives was set at Shenshi, Jia Lian didn't have to get up early in the morning, and then ran to the dealer to meet the relatives.

When the emperor bestows a marriage, Qin Tianjian must not only choose a good day, but also an auspicious time.The auspicious time on the second day of August is Shenshi, so you have to go to greet relatives at Shenshi.

If the auspicious time on the second day of August is early in the morning, then you have to go to pick up your relatives early in the morning.When to greet relatives depends entirely on the auspicious time, so don't be surprised to set the time to greet relatives at Shenshi.

After washing up, Jia Lian put on his groom's clothes.In fact, this groom's suit is similar to the previous No. [-] Scholar's gown, both of which are bright red, but the front of the groom's suit does not have the pattern on the front of the No. [-] Scholar's gown.The cuffs and hem of the groom's suit are embroidered with a circle of gold thread.

When Feng'er's maids saw Jia Lian in happy clothes, they all blushed and dared not look directly at Jia Lian.Although they had seen Jia Lian in the champion robe before, they were still amazed when they saw Jia Lian in a red suit today.

After putting on the wedding clothes, Jia Lian went to the dining hall to have breakfast with Jia Amnesty and the others.After breakfast, I have to go to the ancestral hall of Ningguo Mansion to worship the ancestors.

When Jia Amnesty saw his son in a happy attire, he was both happy and moved, so moved that he wanted to cry.In a blink of an eye, my son has grown up and is about to start a family.

Mrs. Xing's face was full of joy, and the smile on her face hadn't stopped for several days, and she almost couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

Jia Lian sat down, and Mrs. Xing asked him to eat more of the five plates in front of him.

On the day of marriage, the parents of both men and women will invite their sons and daughters to eat steamed buns, cockles, elbows, chestnuts, and lotus seeds to beg for the "five sons enthroned".

It's a custom, and you can't eat it. Jia Lian ate all five things willingly.

After breakfast, Jia Lian followed Jia Amnesty to Jia's mansion to pay his respects to Jia's mother. Today is his big day, and he must pay his respects to his grandmother.

Jia Mansion also hung up red silk and red lanterns, which was also a celebration.Although Jia Lian separated from Jia's mother, they did not sever the relationship.When Jia Lian got married, the Jia Mansion would naturally hang up red silk and red lanterns.

Seeing Jia Lian coming, the servants of Jia's mansion shouted loudly: "The bridegroom official is here!"

I don't know if it's because of the marriage today, Jia Lian is very handsome and radiant today, as can be seen from the red faces of the maids and servants in Jia's mansion.

When I came to Jia Mu's yard, Jia Zheng's family and Jia Min were there, but Mrs. Wang was not there.Jia's mother was afraid that Mrs. Wang would spoil Jia Lian's happy day by talking nonsense, so she didn't let her participate.

Jia Lian kowtowed three times to Jia Mu. Today is his big day, so he wants to salute grandma.After saluting with Jia Mu, he saluted Jia Zheng and Jia Min again.

Jia Min jokingly said, "Brother Lian, my aunt found that you look very good-looking today." Her nephew was really good-looking, and his red suit made him look even better, so that people couldn't take their eyes off him.

"Brother Lian's wedding dress is the same as the number one scholar's robe before, it looks really good on him."

"Brother Lian should be the prettiest bridegroom official in the capital."

Jia Lian could only smile modestly at their praise.

"Brother Lian, today is your wedding day, and grandma has something to tell you."

"Grandma please tell me."

"When you get married, you start a family, you have responsibilities, and you are a real man. No matter what happens in the future, you must remember your responsibilities and don't let your family down, you know?"

"Grandson, remember."

"When the daughter-in-law enters the door, you have to spread the branches and leaves for the Jia family. This is also your responsibility, remember?"

"Grandson remembers."

"You still have to remember the saying that home and everything prosper, and you have to live in harmony with your wife, you know?"

"The grandson knows."

After Jia's mother finished speaking, she nodded with relief: "Grandmother hopes that you and your new wife will be harmonious and beautiful, and spread branches and leaves for our Jia family as soon as possible."

"Thank you grandma."

After paying respects to Jia's mother, Jia Lian and the others went to the ancestral hall of Ningguo Mansion next door to worship their ancestors.

For this ancestor worship, it is not necessary for all the children of the Jia family to be present, only those who are married are required to be present.

Jia Lian knelt in front of the tablet of the ancestors, holding three sticks of incense in his hand, first bowed three times to the ancestors' spiritual tablets, and then announced the good news to the ancestors, saying that he was married today, and invited the ancestors to come back and have a wedding wine.

After finishing speaking, he stood up and put the three sticks of incense on the incense burner in front of the memorial tablet, and then Jia Lian personally poured wine for the ancestors.

After inviting the ancestors to drink, Jia Lian knelt on the ground and kowtowed nine times to the ancestors' spiritual tablets.After he gets married, he will bring his new wife to kowtow to his ancestors.

Jia Lian worshiped the ancestors in the ancestral hall, and firecrackers were set off outside the ancestral hall, which was very lively and festive.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Jia Lian and Jia She must rush back to Liuyuan Mansion.

Before the guests come, they have to offer sacrifices to the "heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers" in the hall, which is commonly known as "enjoy the first".The offerings should be full-frame pigs and sheep or five animal blessings and fruits.

After they finished "Xiang Xian", Jia Lian and Jia She stood at the gate of the ceremony to welcome the guests, and the guests arrived one after another.

In fact, Jia Lian didn't invite many people to get married. Apart from Jia's relatives and friends, he invited colleagues from the Ministry of Industry, classmates from Zishan Academy, and teachers from Zishan Academy. Of course, Li Daoqing and Wei Jiashen were also invited.

Colleagues, he only invited people from the Ministry of Industry.Unexpectedly, other people also came. The others were civil and military officials in the capital.

Not only many civil and military officials came uninvited, but also many aristocratic families came uninvited.

Although these people were not invited, they came to congratulate one after another, and it was not easy to drive them back.

These people not only came, but also brought congratulatory gifts.Previously, Jia Lian returned all the gifts from these people during the coronation ceremony. This time when Jia Lian got married, they sent them back again.

As more and more guests came, Liuyuan Mansion became lively.

At noon, the fourth prince sent a gift, which was a jade lotus.Whether it is the color or the carving, it can be seen that this jade lotus is worth a lot.Then the eldest prince sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, it was a jade pot, and it was not cheap.In the Dalong Dynasty, teapots and tea lids were often used to describe the relationship between husband and wife. The eldest prince gave a jade pot, wishing Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong to be like teapots and tea lids.

After a while, the second prince also sent someone to send congratulatory gifts, a pair of jade pillows and a painting painted by himself.You must know that the second prince's paintings are hard to come by, so there is nothing wrong with giving them a painting.

The Seventh Prince was not in the capital, and he didn't know Jia Lian, so he didn't give a gift.

As soon as the second prince's people left, Li Jinzhong came.

Seeing Li Jinzhong coming, everyone at the scene was shocked, wondering what Li Jinzhong was doing at this time.However, when they saw the eunuchs behind Li Jinzhong holding things in their hands, they immediately knew why Li Jinzhong was here.

However, it's right to think about it, Jia Lian's big wedding, how could the emperor not express it at all, you must know that this marriage was bestowed by the emperor himself.

"Eunuch Li!"

"Master Jia, congratulations! Congratulations!" Li Jinzhong congratulated.

"Thank you!"

"The servant is here to read the imperial decree, Mr. Jia, prepare to go."

"Ok."

After a while, everyone in the audience knelt down.

Li Jinzhong opened the imperial decree and read aloud: "Follow the heavens, the emperor ordered, Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong..."

The general meaning of the imperial decree is: Today is Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong's big day, they are a match made in heaven, I am very happy, and I will reward you with something as a wedding gift.

Emperor Longwu rewarded Jia Lian with some precious jewels, which made the civil and military officials present a little jealous.

The emperor must have loved Jia Lian too much. After Jia Lian won the first prize in the examination, he rewarded him with a lot of things.

"Thank you, Majesty Long En." Jia Lian raised both hands to receive the imperial edict.

"My lord Jia, don't get up for the time being, there is also the order of the empress dowager."

The Empress Dowager's order! ! ! ! !

Everyone in the audience was stunned, the queen mother also rewarded Jia Lian!

The content of the Empress Dowager's decree is much simpler. Congratulations to Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong for their marriage. The old man is very happy, so she rewarded him with something as a congratulatory gift.

The Empress Dowager rewarded her with a white jade statue of Avalokitesvara, which was both precious and appropriate.

The hearts of civil and military officials were turbulent. The emperor's doting on Jia Lian was already shocking. Why did the queen mother follow Jia Lian's favor? What did Jia Lian do to make the queen mother and the emperor like him so much?

Although there are all kinds of envy and hatred in their hearts, they are also making an idea, that is, they must have a good relationship with Jia Lian in the future, and it is best to bring him to their camp.

Jia Lian accepted the Queen Mother's order and thought he would be able to get up, but in the end he was rewarded by the queen.

What the queen rewarded was worse than the emperor and the queen mother, a jade hairpin and a jade pendant.The jade hairpin is for Zhuang Jingrong, and the jade pendant is for Jia Lian.

Seeing the queen's reward, the people present calmed down.The queen must have seen the rewards from the emperor and the queen mother, so she followed suit.

"Master Jia can get up now."

Jia Lian stood up and punched Li Jinzhong: "Please, Eunuch Li!"

"This is the duty of the slave." Li Jinzhong said respectfully, "Master Jia, if the slave wants to go back and return to his command, he will take his leave first."

"Eunuch Li, wait a minute, it won't be too late to return to the palace after drinking a few glasses of wedding wine with me."

"Since Mr. Jia said so, then this slave will have the cheek to beg for a few glasses of wedding wine."

"It's my honor for Eunuch Li to drink my wedding wine." Jia Lian invited Li Jinzhong inside and poured several glasses of wine for Li Jinzhong himself.

Li Jinzhong raised his wine glass: "Lord Jia, I respect you, congratulations! May you and your wife grow old together!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Li!"

Li Jinzhong didn't dare to drink too much, toasted Jia Lian three glasses of wine and left.

"Is the kid's mansion hot and bustling?"

"Back to the emperor, it was very lively, and many adults were present."

"Boss and them?"

"I didn't go, but someone sent a congratulatory gift."

"I also want to go to join in the fun." Unfortunately, he couldn't go, and the guests would all become reserved.

Li Jinzhong: "..." Your Majesty, if you go, you will frighten the adults.

At this time, the Supreme Emperor was drinking tea with the Queen Mother.

"Today is Jia Lian's big day, why don't you go to drink the wedding wine?"

"Those ministers all know me, and I will only scare them if I go." He also really wanted to go to the wedding and witness Jia Lian's marriage process, but many of those ministers knew him, and his presence would only increase troubles.

The queen mother really wanted to give the emperor a look: "You really think about Jia Lian." Suddenly, it occurred to the emperor that the emperor did not decree to reward Jia Lian, "Why didn't you decree to reward Jia Lian with something?"

"I've already given him the gift."

"The concubine is saying why you didn't order a reward?"

"It's enough to have you and that kid's will." He didn't want the ministers to know his relationship with that kid Jia Lian.

The queen mother probably guessed what the emperor was thinking, so she didn't say anything more.

At this time, the luncheon in Liuyuan Mansion began. Jia She, Jia Lian and his son toasted table by table, thanking all the guests for coming to congratulate.

At the same time, the dealer's luncheon also started, and it was very lively.

Because Jia Lian was going to greet his relatives in the evening, everyone didn't make things difficult for him during the toast, as long as they wanted to.They won't get Jia Lian drunk at noon, but they will definitely get Jia Lian drunk at night.

After the toast, we had a simple lunch.Jia Lian took his wedding party and set off two hours in advance to the villager's house.

Those who helped Jia Lian to welcome her were Ming Wanju, a good brother, and Jia Rong, several young children of the Jia family.

Jia Lian and several people who greeted the relatives rode tall horses, all of which were hung with red ribbons.

As the groom's official, Jia Lian naturally rode at the front, and several young men who were welcoming the bride followed closely behind him, and behind him was the bridal sedan chair.

The welcoming team led by Jia Lian walked in the direction of the dealer without haste.

Hearing that Zhuangyuan Lang was going to greet his relatives, all the people in the capital ran to the street to watch the excitement.

Jia Lian saw that both sides of the street were crowded with people, and they were all shouting "Zhuangyuan Lang", which made him mistakenly think that today he was not married, but boasting officials in Yujie.Because the bustling scene now is similar to the scene of boasting officials in the imperial street at that time.

"Zhuangyuan Lang, you don't want to get married, don't marry that woman from the farmer." I don't know who shouted, but it spread to many girls who shouted like this.

Hearing such shouts, Jia Lian's head was covered with black lines, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

Jia Lian got married today, and the hearts of many girls in the capital were broken.

Except for the ignorant young girl who shouted that, everyone congratulated Jia Lian one after another.

"Congratulations, Champion!"

"Zhuangyuanlang, I wish you a long life!"

"Zhuangyuan Lang, I wish you an early son!"

……

……

……

Jia Lian didn't expect that he was so popular in the capital. He was very moved when he heard everyone's most simple blessings. While riding a horse, he thanked those who congratulated him.

Because you have to go around the capital for a long time, when you arrive at the dealer, it's almost time to bid.

The door of the dealer's house was closed tightly, of course it was not intentional to prevent Jia Lian from entering, but a rule, this is called "blocking the door".Just like a modern marriage, if you give a red envelope and make things difficult, the door will be opened for the groom to pick up the bride.

Jia Lian stood in front of the gate of the dealer with several young princes who were welcoming the bride.

Knock, knock, knock... Jia Lian knocked on the door, and the laughter of women immediately came from inside.

"Officer groom, we want red envelopes, and the door won't be opened without red envelopes."

Jia Lian tactfully stuffed a lot of red envelopes through the crack of the door.

When the women received the red envelopes, they were not in a hurry to open the door, and began to deliberately make things difficult for Jia Lian.They knew that Jia Lian was very talented and good at composing poems, so they asked Jia Lian to compose a poem or an article on the spot.

Jia Lian: "..." This is not an imperial examination.

Ask them if it is okay for him to recite poems.In the end, no, he had to do it himself.

Jia Lian had no choice but to think about it, and then made a five-character verse.

Women say that one poem is not enough, they need another.Two poems are auspicious.

Jia Lian had no choice but to write another poem.

The women were very satisfied when they heard Jia Lian's poem, so they didn't make things difficult for him anymore, and the door opened slowly.

Jia Lian's heart suddenly thumped violently, and he became nervous.Taking a deep breath, he stabilized his mind, lifted his feet and stepped into the gate of the dealer.

Walking to the main hall, Lord Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang sat in the high hall.

Jia Lian raised the hem of his clothes, knelt down towards Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang, kowtowed three times, and called loudly: "Father! Mother!"

Mr. Zhuang first said something, nothing more than the harmony between husband and wife.

After Master Zhuang finished speaking, it was Mrs. Zhuang's turn.

Mrs. Zhuang's words were simple, she just hoped that Jia Lian would take good care of Zhuang Jingrong, and that the couple would love each other.

Jia Lian knelt down and listened to the teachings of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Master Zhuang finished talking with Mrs. Zhuang, and then helped Jia Lian up.

Jia Lian took a pair of geese from Gao Qi and handed them to Master Zhuang.

After Master Zhuang took it, he handed it to the butler beside him.

Sending wild geese is also a rule. When the man comes to the woman's home to greet his relatives, he must first goose as a gift, which is called "Dianyan" in "Rituals".Geese only mate once in their life, and they are inseparable after that. If one of the two dies, the other will remain alone and never get married again.In this way, it reflects the good wishes of the couple to be steadfast, to sing together, and to grow old together.

After sending off the geese, I gave some gifts.

After the ceremony, Mrs. Zhuang went to the backyard and told her daughter that the auspicious time had come and she was about to get on the sedan chair.

However, before getting on the sedan chair, according to the custom, the groom's official has to urge the bride three times before the bride can come out.

Jia Lian saw a man in his 30s coming out with a man in a red wedding dress on his back. According to the custom, the bride cannot put her feet on the ground until she arrives at the man's house.

The person in the wedding dress was naturally Zhuang Jingrong.The person carrying her is of course her elder brother.According to the rules, the bride should be carried on the sedan chair by her elder brother.

Because Zhuang Jingrong was wearing a hijab, Jia Lian couldn't see her appearance, but when he saw her being carried out, his heart suddenly tightened, and then there was an unprecedented excitement in his heart, and his heart moved violently and quickly. It jumped up, as if it was about to jump out of its chest.

Zhuang Jingrong, who was lying on his brother, felt a scorching gaze, guessing in his heart that it should be Jia Lian, and a smile appeared on the face of the red hijab.

Zhuang Jingrong was carried by his elder brother and put into the sedan chair.

Before starting the sedan chair, the dealer sets off firecrackers and sprinkles tea and rice on the top of the sedan chair.

After finishing these, you can get up the sedan chair.

Zhuang Jingrong was sitting in a sedan chair, holding a porcelain vase in his hand.

Jia Lian bid farewell to the Zhuang family, then rode on a tall horse and walked at the head of the team.

Both sides of the road were still crowded with people watching the excitement.

The common people in the capital were very interested in the dealer's dowry. When the welcoming team passed by, they counted carefully, a total of one hundred dowry, which was the same as the one hundred dowry given by the Liuyuan Mansion a month ago.

One hundred dowry is considered a lot, and the dowry of aristocratic families in the capital is usually this amount.

Whether it's the dowry from Liuyuan Mansion or the dowry from the dealer, it's normal.

Even so, the common people in the capital still feel that there are many, and they all feel that the dealer is very generous.

The common people in the capital began to gossip about all aspects of Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong, starting with their family backgrounds.Liuyuan Mansion is naturally inferior to the banker, how can the banker be a relative of the emperor, in this way, it is Jia Lian who has overtaken the banker.Then let's talk about character, the upbringing of the Zhuang family is recognized as the best in the whole capital, as for the Jia family... Forget it, don't mention it, let's just talk about the number one scholar, he is talented and gentle, he is a good person.Finally, let’s talk about appearance. Miss Zhuang Jia’s appearance is average, but Zhuangyuan Lang is the most beautiful man in the capital.

Generally speaking, Miss Zhuangjia is good in everything, except that she is not good-looking.

However, even if Miss Zhuangjia is not good-looking, she will marry the champion man, and those good-looking girls can only marry the champion man in their dreams.

Jia Lian didn't know what the common people were talking about, so he led the wedding party to Liuyuan Mansion.According to the rules, marriage cannot be reversed, so they have to go another way.

Before the end of the auspicious time, the welcoming team finally arrived at Liuyuan Mansion.
