Practical Life in the Red Mansion

When Daiyu went to Jia Min's yard, the blush on her cheeks hadn't disappeared. Jia Min could only smile heartily when she saw this scene of love, knowing that Daiyu was thin-skinned, so she didn't mention it any more.

Daiyu didn't know that when she met Mu Zheng, it was because of Jia Min's intention to let her go, so she couldn't help saying angrily, "Mother, why are you so, so..."

Jia Min smiled lightly. She and Lin Haiyu had been friends before marriage, and they also met secretly, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with meeting once or twice before marriage. More importantly, Daiyu was a sensible child who abided by rules and etiquette. , Even if they meet once or twice, nothing will go wrong, and it will only make the relationship between the young couple better.

Jia Min comforted her and said, "You guys are going to get married in the future, so why not meet? Could it be that you really wait until the day you get married to know what the other person looks like?" "Mother..." Hearing Jia Min's words, Daiyu was both ashamed and angry, so she couldn't resist teasing Jia Min to act coquettishly.

Jia Min felt sour, she hadn't seen childish behavior for a long time, she patted Daiyu's hand and said, "If you don't want to give up, you will get married too, the wedding date has been set, the sixteenth next month." Daiyu just said :"So fast."

Jia Min pulled Daiyu's sideburns behind her ears: "All your good sisters are getting married one after another, and you are the only one left. Besides, Ah Zheng is getting older, and there are only a handful of people at his age who have not yet married. countable."

Daiyu leaned against Jia Min and said, "I hate you, my father, my elder brother and my younger brother."

Jia Min stroked Daiyu's back lightly and said sadly: "Mother can't bear to let you go either. You grew up from babbling to a slim figure, and you have always been under my nose, but now..."

Jia Min's eyes were moist and opened. When she was a girl at home, she was so charming and pampered that she didn't suffer a little bit of grievance, so she could do whatever she wanted, but after she got married, no matter how good her in-laws and husband-in-law were to her, she still had to host the middle school , Go out to socialize, have children, serve your husband, where are the happy and leisurely days now.

No matter how reluctant it is, it's time to put on make-up. Mu Zheng is the queen's nephew, and he is one of the few honorable men with military power. Although Lin Hai is old, Lin Yangjian is in the heart of the emperor and is highly favored.Therefore, on the day of adding makeup, people in the capital who can make connections come in droves.

The Queen and the Crown Princess also received rewards. Everyone felt that the daughter of the Lin family was very lucky when they saw this, but the most surprising and different thing was the generous dowry of the daughter of the Lin family.

190 Two dowries were fastened with red silk and placed in red lacquered boxes and placed in the courtyard.

Xiang Wei, Jiang Tian, ​​and other close friends of Daiyu's boudoir are all by Daiyu's side, Sanchun and Shi Xiangyun from Jia's family are also sitting beside her, Yingchun and Tanchun are both married, and they look good, especially when Yingchun is going After Sui gave birth to his son, he became rounder and more elegant, but Shi Xiangyun looked tired.

Baoqin came late, and as soon as she entered the room, she apologized and said, "I'm late." Everyone rushed up to make trouble for her, and she laughed hurriedly: "Good sister, let me add makeup to sister Lin first, and then treat her." My sin." Then he asked someone to bring the things up.

Xiang Wei was a little surprised and said, "Why are there two copies?"

Baoqin straightened her temple hair and said, "My eldest sister asked me to bring it here." Daiyu came to her senses first and said, "Thank you for remembering her for me later." The eldest sister Baoqin mentioned was Xue Baochai, although As a side concubine, she gave birth to a son and a daughter and gained a firm foothold in the palace, but such a day is not something her side concubine can do.

Xue Baochai and Daiyu were just acquaintances when they were teenagers, but the lintels of the two families were too different, and she entered the palace early, and at that time she set foot on the road of wealth and honor, and never had any intersection with Daiyu. After knowing that Daiyu was going to marry Mu Zheng, she began to think about making friends again. After all, Mu Zheng has a high status, and Daiyu's wife is Rong.

But firstly she was just a side concubine who couldn't get out of the house easily, and secondly, Daiyu didn't like her being condescending, and the relationship between the two was indifferent, at most they just nodded at the banquet.Xue Baochai is not a person who gives up lightly, especially after knowing that Baoqin and Daiyu are friends, she often sends things through Baoqin. Baoqin didn't know the inside story, so she sent it for her once or twice. , I won’t give it away anymore, but today, an elder of Aunt Xue went to her house in person, and she couldn’t refuse.

Seeing Daiyu's laughing words, Baoqin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just know what ten miles of red makeup is today." Xiang Wei answered, "No, she is a rich man now. In the future, I have to use some kind of three festivals and two lives to blackmail her."

Daiyu smiled and said: "Why bother, you serve me well today, and I will reward you well." Xiang Wei smiled and said: "There is also this Qiaozong." She walked over and pretended to help Fudai Yu's gold hairpin inlaid with precious stones said: "Then I have to serve our Duke and Madam well."

Daiyu's ears turned red when she heard the words, and she couldn't help but pat her lightly. Xiang Wei couldn't hold on any longer, and leaned against Daiyu and bent over laughing.

When the few people were arguing, the maids said beamingly: "The Duke of the country is here to make up." Daiyu immediately blushed.

Over there, Jia Min received the phoenix coronet, the mirror box of cosmetics and other things from the Mu family, and put the silver in the box with her own hands, and then Lin Yang and Lin Yun sent Daiyu's dowry to the Mu family.

Ten miles of red makeup stretches endlessly, and the first few tens of furniture are all made of precious wood such as red sandalwood and rosewood.The most admirable thing is the gold-painted thousand-work Babu bed, which is made of mahogany, nanmu, rosewood and other woods. It lasted for ten years. The red background is meticulously carved, exquisite and magnificent.

The middle ones are curtains and quilts, four seasons clothes, ruler clothing materials, antique decorations, and the last 24 are head and face jewelry, pearls and emeralds, gemstones of various colors, coral glass, beautiful jade, gold and silver, radiant and colorful, which are used by women for a long time. For trivial things, such as rouge and gouache, the finale is Zhuangtian shop, pressing box silver.

After Lin Yang and Lin Yun delivered the dowry, they sat at the head seat without any hesitation. Mu Zheng invited more robes, all of them were trained in the army, and they are good at drinking. A literati, so he put all his energy into pouring Lin Yang, and Lin Yang was unambiguous, and he made those people look at him with admiration when he started drinking with others.

When Lin Yang returned home, the guests of the Lin family had almost left.Jia Min also pulled out, and seeing Lin Yang rubbing his forehead full of alcohol smell, he hurriedly asked the servants to bring hangover soup, and complained to him, "Why do you drink so much wine, you should have a headache again tomorrow."

Lin Yang smiled and said: "I think it's okay, Ah Zheng has been fed more than me." Jia Min was anxious when he heard this: "You kid, why don't you stop him from drinking? What if he misses something? ?” Lin Yang:  …

In the early morning of the second day, Daiyu was called up early to take a shower, change clothes and dress up. When Jia Min arrived, Daiyu hadn't started to put on makeup yet, and the wedding was at dusk, so she didn't rush to put on makeup. little jacket.As soon as Daiyu saw Daiyu, she couldn't help feeling sad.

Daiyu hurriedly took her by the arm and said, "Mother, don't be sad. I'm not married far away. Whenever you miss me, call me back." Jia Min wiped her tears and said, "Be careful that Ah Zheng will despise you when the time comes." .”

Lin Yun on the side answered the words: "He doesn't dare to dislike you. If he really dislikes my sister, we will take her back." Zhang Zhu and Ning Ge'er also followed suit, and when they came back, they waved their little fists.

Daiyu let out a chuckle to soften the sadness, Jia Min glared at Lin Yun and said, "You child, you don't want to be good."

The guests came to the door not long after, and Lin Yun was naturally embarrassed to stay in Daiyu's yard, Daiyu felt sore in her heart, held Lin Yun's hand and told him non-stop.

After saying a few words, Daiyu was urged to dress up.Because Mu Zheng had already handed over the invitation letter, Feng Guanxia peeples were all according to the grade, and Daiyu's red wedding dress was covered with golden embroidered clouds and clouds and Zhai patterns.

Then the people from Quanfu combed Daiyu's hair, while Jia Min stood by and watched Quanfu people comb Daiyu's hair while reciting a song:

Comb all the way to the head, you don't have to worry about being rich;

Second comb to the head, no disease and no worries;

Three combs to the head, more children and longer life;

Then comb to the end, raise the eyebrows again;

Comb two combs to the end, winging each other;

Comb three combs to the end, and wear them forever.

There are heads and tails, riches and honors.

The tears could no longer be stopped, the daughter she had raised and held in her hands was about to leave home.

Quanfu's surname is Jin, and he said with a smile: "Mrs. Lin, today is Ling'ai's big day. There is no one in the whole capital who is as blessed as Ling'ai. Once she enters the door, she is a first-class imperial order." She said cautiously. Wear the Qidi crown on Daiyu, and make the hairpin hold pearls in the mouth of the big and small beads Diqi, all with beads in their mouths, a pair of golden phoenixes with pearls in their mouths, two pearls, emerald peonies and Rang flowers, and four plum blossom wreaths. ring.......

Daiyu only felt that the weight on her head was getting heavier and heavier, and she didn't care about being sad.I don't know how long it took, but I heard the servants coming to welcome the relatives.The people in the room immediately became noisy.

Daiyu didn't know if it was hot or because she was nervous, her palms were sweating slightly, Jiang Tian teased her and said, "Don't worry, Cousin, Uncle, both civil and military, will come in smoothly." When I said it one by one, Daiyu was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head.

This side is bustling with activity, while Mu Zheng has already passed three stages and entered smoothly.Hearing the sound of firecrackers, Daiyu was helped to the middle hall. Lin Hai and Jia Min had already sat up. Wipe your eyes.

Daiyu respectfully kowtowed to them both, her nose was sore and tears rolled down.Jia Min hurriedly stood up and pressed the handkerchief on Daiyu's face and said: "My dear Yuer, don't cry, don't cry, it won't look good when you cry with makeup." Daiyu leaned on Jia Min's shoulder, tears soaked Wet the handkerchief in Jia Min's hand.

Jia Min choked with sobs while having the hijab held up by someone: "After you get married, you are not allowed to be petty, and you have to be gentle with my uncle." Daiyu nodded, and let Jia Min put the hijab on her .

Daiyu was supported to go out. She wanted to look back at her parents, but her eyes were all red. When she stepped over the threshold, Lin Yang's warm but sad words came to her ears: " Yanyan, I'll carry you out."

Lin Yang half squatted down and picked her up. Amidst the noise, Lin Yang's voice came into Daiyu's heart clearly, "Yan Yan, don't be afraid, you will always be a girl of the Lin family, and everything depends on father and mother." I'll back you up." "A Zheng grew up with me, he really likes you, and he will treat you well in the future." "In the future, don't hold any grievances in your heart, and don't bear it alone."

Daiyu suddenly burst into tears.

Lin Yang watched the sedan chair go further and further away with sadness, and in the future, Daiyu would embark on the road of her own destiny.
