Practical Life in the Red Mansion

Although it was Lin Yang's marriage, he was the most leisurely person in the family. At most, he was just trying to see how the wedding clothes were, and Jia Min took care of the rest.When it comes to getting married, Lin Yang has no expectations. Marrying a wife is more like the only way in his life, not the expectation of Qin Se and Ming.

Lin Yang only felt that the Gu family was also taught by the rules. If they got along well, it would be a surprise to be as close as their parents. He still hopes that his wife is sensible and courteous, and he doesn't want to have a restless family.

But before that, he had to go to the yamen to ask for marriage leave. Although he was working as an errand in the pedestrian department, he was still a member of the Imperial Academy. Fortunately, the head of the Imperial Academy was Yang Xi. Lin Yang once again, to the effect that although he is a young man, he is still young, so don't waste his time between the bed and the curtains, you must continue to work hard after the holiday, and of course you can't ignore your children.The rest is a topic between men, and Lin Yang's face is red when he talks about it.

Before leaving, he patted Lin Yang on the shoulder mysteriously and said: "You have been in the pedestrian department for a long time, and it's time to change places. It's a pity that you still don't go back to the Imperial Academy, otherwise I can protect you , I have already arranged it for you, it can be regarded as a big gift after your marriage." Lin Yang was itchy in his heart, and asked Yang Xi again and again, Yang Xi just smiled and said nothing, "Why are you so anxious, it's yours and you can't run away, just you Just wait for the marriage with peace of mind." Lin Yang could only suppress his curiosity silently.

April 27th is the day when the woman sends her dowry and makes her bed.

Gu Jing's elder brother and younger brother came together to deliver the dowry, a total of 120 eight loads, naturally attracting countless people's attention on the way.Naturally, the Lin family prepared wine and entertained them. After handing over a thick red envelope, they got the key to the dowry from Gu Hao, and placed the dowry in the new house for relatives and friends to watch.

The Gu family invited two Quanfu people to make the bed, and they were led by a matchmaker specially invited by the Lin family, Jiang An's wife Chu, who came early in the morning, accompanied Jia Min to look at the dowry, and sighed: "The dowry is quite generous." Jia Min smiled without saying a word. Although the husband's family cannot use the daughter-in-law's dowry, it will be left to their grandchildren in the future. Naturally, the more the better.

The Chu family didn't say a few words to Jia Min before hearing that Mrs. Quan Fu from the Gu family had come to make the bed.Making the bed is the woman's business, and Mrs. Chu is only with her. Before making the bed, she must burn incense and worship the "God of the Bed".The two are also proficient in making the bed and setting up the tent while talking auspicious words.After that, he instructed the maids to arrange the dowry items neatly, and the objects and decorations in the room must show auspiciousness, happiness, and happiness.

The girls brought dates, longan, litchi, walnuts, lotus seeds and other things, and the two Quanfu people sprinkled them on the bed. After spreading them, they laughed and shouted: "Where is the person who pressed the bed?"

Lin Yun heard Teng Deng running, and said with a smile: "I'm here." Chu smiled and hugged him to the bed, Lin Yun happily rolled and rolled on the bed, Chu held back a smile and said: " Well, Brother Yun, I still have red envelopes to take." Lin Yun just got up from the bed, Quanfu gave him the red envelopes with a smile, touched his chubby little face and said: "You are tonight If you want to live here with your brother, you can't leave the wedding bed empty."

Lin Yun nodded, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry."

Since the furniture had already been placed, only Gu Jiang, the younger brother of Gu Jing who hung the curtain, hung the big red curtain embroidered with auspicious dragons and phoenixes on the door, and Chu handed the red envelope to Gu Jiang after he hung it This is the end, Jia Min and Chu busily led the Quanfu people to the banquet.

According to the rules at night, Lin Yang and Lin Yun slept on the bed together. After Lin Yang washed up, he saw Lin Yun rolling around on the bed with his pillow in his arms and said, "Brother, this bed is so soft." Lin Yang Pushing him inside: "Go in a little bit, leave me some space." Lin Yun squirmed his small body, and said coquettishly: "Brother, take me there."

Lin Yang threw him into the bed helplessly, and when Lin Yang lay down, Lin Yun said: "I haven't slept with my brother for a long time, and my brother hasn't hugged me for a long time." It is true that he has not been so close to Lin Yun since he took the test and became an official. One is that he has no time and the other is that he feels that Lin Yun is too old.

Lin Yang touched his little head apologetically and said, "Brother won't be on errand for half a month, can I accompany you to ride a horse?" Lin Yun pouted and said, "My brother still wants to accompany his sister-in-law, and I still have to give you a ride." I'm giving birth to a little nephew." Lin Yang choked for a moment, gritted his teeth and asked, "Who told you these things." Lin Yun tilted his head and looked at him and said, "There are a lot of people, aren't they? They also said that if I If you want to be an uncle sooner, you have to work hard, brother, how can you work hard?" Lin Yun's big eyes were full of curiosity.

What kind of messy question, Lin Yang pushed his head away and said perfunctorily: "You will know when you grow up." Lin Yun snorted, dissatisfied with his brother's answer, but he didn't bother with this question and asked: "This press needs to be Boy, and you have to be a relative, my brother will naturally press the bed, but when I get married, who should it be." Lin Yun sighed like an adult and said to himself: "I thought about it for a while. No suitable person was found."

Lin Yang hummed, but didn't answer him. When he closed his eyes and fell asleep, a child's piercing screams came from his ears. Lin Yun said excitedly: "I remembered, you can invite my little nephew in the future. I'm so smart." Lin Yang took a few deep breaths, stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt to cover Lin Yun's face, Lin Yun hummed a few times, struggling to escape from his brother's clutches, and said dissatisfiedly: "My brother will suffocate me. "

Lin Yang turned over and lay on his side, threatening him: "If you are talking, I won't take you to ride a horse." Sure enough, the backside quieted down, but after a while, he felt warm breath in his ears, Lin Yang Ignoring him, he suddenly felt a soft and small body leaning against his back, Lin Yang's heart softened, he turned back, and hugged Lin Yun in his arms.

On the second day, Lin Yang woke up early, angrily took Lin Yun's foot away from his face, but stopped the girl from waking Lin Yun up, and whispered: "Take the second master back, Let him sleep more."

On this day, the Lin family was full of lanterns, festoons, drums and music. Daiyu wore a silver-red ruyi-patterned double-breasted long jacket, a moon-white skirt sprinkled with gold and twelve pieces of moonlight, and wore a bun of hundreds of flowers. Chai, following behind Jia Min, entertained relatives and friends who came to have a wedding banquet, and Jia's family naturally came to visit.

Daiyu also entertained the little girls from various families, and invited them to the flower hall to drink tea and talk. Naturally, Sanchun came, and Xiangyun also followed, but what surprised Daiyu was that Baochai also followed the Jia family. coming.Baochai glanced at Daiyu apologetically, and explained: "We went to visit the old lady yesterday, and the old lady said that today is a big day for the Lin family, let us stay and come over to be happy and congratulate your brother on his wedding. "

Daiyu went to entertain other people after being courteous. On such a day, there are also unfamiliar people. Not everyone can talk about poetry and books, so Daiyu can only talk about what clothes, jewelry, and gouache are fashionable in Beijing. Rouge and the like, the atmosphere warmed up.

Daiyu was a little absent-minded. My brother took his friends from the same department to Gu's house to welcome the bride early in the morning. I heard that he was going to write a makeup poem. It's okay for Daiyu to write a few poems for him. I'm afraid there are other things that make things difficult. I don't know if my brother can do it. Cope with it.

In a trance, I heard that the bride is coming, Jiang Tian can't sit still, she wants to go to the church, the rest of the girls are also curious and reserved, Daiyu smiled and asked Yao Huang to lead Jiang Tian and others After leaving the main hall, he stayed to accompany the guests, and arranged for Wei Zi to go to the small kitchen to prepare food for Lin Yang and Gu Jing.

After worshiping and entering the bridal chamber, it’s the wedding banquet. The groom’s official is going to toast. Several little girls snickered and gathered in front of the hollowed-out partition to look at Lin Yang. After drinking wine today, his face is slightly red and his face is like a peach blossom.

Jia's mother was very happy, and pulled Lin Yang to tell him to spread the branches and leaves as soon as possible, and the husband and wife should be loving and harmonious.Jiang Tian couldn't help but said: "Uncle looks so good-looking." Daiyu poked her face with a smile, Yingchun and Xichun were fine, but Tanchun felt sour. , I don't know if he will have great fortune in the future.When Baochai saw Daiyu smiling like a flower, she also had mixed feelings. In her previous life, she faced the crystal snow of Gaoshi in the mountains, and never forgot the lonely forest in the fairyland. In this life, her fate changed, but Daiyu's Destiny has also changed, and is even more unattainable.

Not long after, Wei Zi came back, and whispered back in Daiyu's ear that she had brought food and hot water to Gu Jing, and Gu Jing rewarded her with a purse, Daiyu nodded, but she didn't notice the desire on her face. The expression of saying nothing.

Wei Zi waited for the exhausted Daiyu to wash and go to bed, and then whispered to Yao Huang: "Xinyi and Mulian in the courtyard of the uncle are also old, and they are also at the age of marriage, but last time when the lady released them, she forgot Theirs." Yao Huang and Wei Zigu are already engaged, Yao Huang is still working as a servant in Daiyu's yard, and Wei Zi is going out to marry Jia Min's housekeeper's son.

Yao Huang's eyelids twitched when he heard that they also often communicated with Xin Yi and Mu Lian, and wrote lightly: "Madam may be too busy to forget." People.” Yao Huang hurriedly covered Wei Zi’s mouth in shock: “What nonsense, most of the big families release free houses before they get married. If Madam wants them to want to be free houses, she has already made it clear. Why wait until the grandma gets married? After that, don't spoil the reputation of the two of them." Yao Huang lowered his voice and said, "I'm mostly looking at Madam to see how Grandma behaves."

Early the next morning, Daiyu got up and came to the main courtyard. Lin Hai and Jia Min had already cleaned up. Jia Min hurriedly asked someone to bring hot milk for Daiyu and Lin Yun to drink. It didn't take long. Lin Yang led Gu Jing to offer tea.

Gu Jing was wearing a double-breasted jacket embroidered with a hundred sons in red, a real red horse-face skirt, and her jet-black silk tied into a bun. She wore a red gold phoenix hairpin inlaid with rubies, and held three strings of rubies the size of rice grains in her mouth, and red gold inlaid rubies on her ears. The pendant trembled on her cheeks, reflecting her skin like snow.

Gu Jing's face was blushed with a shyness unique to a newlywed, and Lin Yang was also smiling.The two kowtowed to Lin Hai and Jia Min, offered tea, and presented shoes and socks made by Gu Jing himself. Lin Hai gave two red seals, but Jia Min gave Bu Yao and Yu Ruyi who were inlaid with various gemstones. .What Gu Jing gave Daiyu was a purse embroidered by herself, inside was a pair of earrings inlaid with emeralds, and what Gu Jing gave Lin Yun was a set of the Four Treasures of the Study.

After serving tea, it was time to set the meal. Jia Min only asked Gu Jing to sit down with a chopsticks of food symbolically. Rules." Gu Jing should be, and sat down with a low eyebrow.

After breakfast, Lin Hai led the family to the ancestral hall, and wrote Gu Jing's surname on the family tree, so that Gu Jing could be regarded as entering the Lin family.After leaving the ancestral hall, Lin Yang followed Lin Hai and Jia Min back to the main courtyard, but Jia Min gave him a stare and said, "You guys had a busy day yesterday, and you got up early today, go back and rest." After realizing it, he watched Lin Hai and the others go back, and he and Gu Jing went back to the yard.

Seeing Lin Yang's appearance, Jia Min anxiously called Wu Hong's family to visit Gu Jing and tell Gu Jing about the Lin family's rules.
