The queen was eagerly looking forward to it, and finally looked forward to the end of the new year. After discussing with the emperor, she set the first day of February as an auspicious day, and immediately sent Wen Xin to the palace to arrange a wedding room.Tu Yan said that the bed frame in Lin Qingyun's house was very good and it was inconvenient to move, so he used the wisteria courtyard as the wedding room, and Lin Qingyun moved to the wing room for a few days.
Seeing the servants busy every day, Aunt Wenxin didn't touch any other government affairs except for dispatching the bride's house.In a blink of an eye, it was the last day of the first lunar month, Wen Xin dismissed the maids, sat alone in the inner room with Lin Qingyun, and took out a book and stuffed it for her.
Wen Xin was also a little embarrassed, and smiled again: "It is reasonable for me to teach this thing, but the queen is afraid that the princess will be uncomfortable, and the princess will consummate the marriage with the prince tomorrow, and the empress is still waiting to embrace the grandson. This is important There are probably some things under Wangfei's box, I'm afraid I'm not ashamed to look at them."
After hearing these words, Lin Qingyun understood the meaning even without reading the contents of the brochure, her face turned red immediately, and she bowed her head in silence.
She wasn't embarrassed by the booklet, but someone suddenly came to explain to her about being intimate with someone tomorrow, how could she feel comfortable?Furthermore, although she and Tu Yan communicated with each other and got to know each other day and night for three years, they had never been too intimate, so how could they not be nervous.
Wen Xin shouldered the responsibility, didn't go into details, only told her which positions are good for pregnancy, and then went out.
Lin Qingjun opened the booklet and glanced at it, but felt hot for no reason, and stuffed it under the pillow, refusing to read it again.
From the early morning of the first day of the lunar new year, she and Tu Yan did not see each other again until dusk, when she was dressed up and helped into the wedding room, where she sat on the wedding bed.At this time, the layout of the room was the same as when she was newly married, her eyes were full of red, but her mood was no longer calm as when she was newly married, her nervous hands were sweating, and she looked around from time to time.She took off her hijab when she got married, but she didn't repeat it this time. All of her bright red clothes were re-sewn, which was different from her wedding dress.The material is the Floating Brocade bestowed by the empress, a tribute from Gaochang, it floats in the sunlight and does not touch the rain, which is very rare.
Today's consummation of the house is a great joy, although Tu Yan did not entertain the guests with wine, but several princes, brothers and clan members came to congratulate and beg for wine.No matter how thoughtful the visitor was, when he was overjoyed, Tu Yan ignored him and prepared a banquet to drink with the visitor.
Everyone knew how to measure and didn't bother him too much, just let him go to the bridal chamber, and jokingly said: "One moment is worth a thousand gold, seventh brother, don't disappoint the good spring."
"Brothers, take care of me, I'm sorry." Tu Yan pretended to be half drunk, resigned from everyone, and went to the wisteria courtyard with the support of Eunuch Le.
As soon as he was admitted to the hospital, everyone from the top to the bottom saluted and congratulated him: "My lord is very happy."
"Reward!" Tu Yan pushed the door open and entered, the room was brightly illuminated by the candles of Dragon and Phoenix, opened the bead curtain and stepped into the inner room, the figure of Da Hongxi sitting on the bed made his heart soft and comfortable.
He can still remember the scene of the big wedding, after three years, the scene has never been similar.
"Weiqing tired of waiting?" Tu Yan's attitude remained the same, which made Lin Qingyun less nervous.
When Tu Yan approached, he smelled alcohol on his body, and he frowned: "Who did you drink with? Didn't you have a banquet today? How much did you drink? Does your head hurt?" Before he could finish speaking, he heard Tu Yan laughing. , couldn't help but stare at him reproachfully: "What are you laughing at, my lord!"
Looking at her appearance by the bright candlelight, Tu Yan has changed a lot compared to three years ago. At that time, her face was still a little immature and green, but now she looks delicate and blooming, fragrant and charming.
Lin Qingyun's face became hot when he was watched, and he lowered his eyes to avoid his sight.
Tu Yan took her hand, and said softly: "Hold your hand, and grow old together with her. Wei Qing will accompany me in this life, and I will never owe you!" Without waiting for her reaction, Tu Yan said again: "Let's rest."
Lin Qingjun was dragged into the tent with a blushing face, and the details inside were unspeakable.
When I woke up the next day, my pillow was empty and still warm.Lin Qingjun couldn't tell what time it was, so he stretched out his hand to open the red curtain, and the sun was shining brightly on the window facing him, and he opened his mouth to call for the egret, but saw that it was Tu Yan who came in.As soon as he touched the smile on the other party's face, he didn't get angry.
Tu Yan hurriedly bowed in front of the bed, repeatedly apologizing: "I, Meng Lang, was the one last night."
Hearing his mention, Lin Qingyun felt uncomfortable, but asked him without looking away, "What time is it?"
Tu Yan stretched out his hands and pulled the brocade quilt to cover her slipped shoulders, and replied, "It's just the first moment of the morning. It's okay, just lie down, if you're hungry, I'll send someone to bring you food."
"What's the point? You go out and call the egret in, I'm going to wake up. Sleeping in broad daylight, spread the word to make people laugh."
Tu Yan laughed and said, "Who's joking? Don't worry, Aunt Wenxin got up early and went back to the palace. When she left, Aunt Wenxin specifically told her not to wake you up and let you rest more."
It was only then that Lin Qingyun noticed that the white silk spread on the bed last night was gone, knowing that Wen Xin took it away for the queen to check, she felt awkward again.
Seeing this, Tu Yan had no choice but to go out and called Bailu in to serve him.
Because of the consummation of the house, the emperor specially granted Tu Yan a one-month leave in comparison to the big wedding, and the empress sent another message that he would go to pay his respects three days later.During these three days, there were no outside visitors to disturb, it was purely for the young couple to be alone.After the first day of discomfort, the two of them were still the same as before, talking about current affairs, reading and painting every day, which was very comfortable.After experiencing the harmony of water and milk, the two became more and more intimate, thinking about each other all the time, knowing the meaning with every look and movement, as if nothing in the world could separate the two.
It is probably the portrayal of the words "like glue like paint".
Lin Qingyun and Tu Yan each sighed: How lucky to have such a person in this life.
Three days later, the two went to the palace to pay their respects.In Fengyi Palace, the queen was very happy when she saw the closeness and harmony between the two, because she was afraid that Lin Qingjun would be burdened by saying that she would have a precious son early, so she just picked other things to say.In private, he asked Tu Yan how he was doing, and when he found out that he was not feeling well, he was even happier.
"The princess is here."
Following the maid's report, Princess Yongjia came in with An Le, met each other, and took their seats.
The queen beckoned An Le to sit on her head, while observing her facial expression, she asked the eldest princess: "How is An Le's illness? Last time you said that there is a way to get rid of the root of the illness, how is it now?"
The eldest princess smiled and said: "Don't worry, Empress, Anle is fine. Speaking of which, Fan Shu has the ability. Although the root of the disease is known, it is not so easy to get rid of. Who knows that he has found a way. Since the first month, the girl Anle I slept very well, and I have never suffered from an illness. Just to be on the safe side, I asked Fan Shu to stay for another two months. I am entering the palace today to announce the good news to my mother, but I also want to trouble my younger siblings."
The queen heard that An Le's illness was really cured, and said with a straight smile: "It's really a double blessing. I will send someone to tell your father later, so that your father will be happy too. Why bother your sister-in-law?"
The eldest princess said: "Hong'er is seventeen this year, and I have been looking after him for two years. Looking around, I think the girl of the family is good. In the old year, I found someone to talk about marriage, but I met Guoxiao. There were a lot of things in the old year, but fortunately I found out that the girl was delayed because of the country's filial piety, and she didn't say anything about her relationship. Qingyun has contacts with that family, so I would like to ask Qingyun to take the trouble to go there and find out about the family's tone .”
"Could it be the dealer?" Lin Qingyun immediately guessed.There are many people who have contacts with the Prince's Mansion, but few have contacts with her. The Jia family and the Zhuang family are relatively close.According to the character of the Eldest Princess, she would definitely not choose Jia's daughter to be her daughter-in-law, so the only one left is the Zhuang family.
The eldest princess smiled and said, "It's the fifth girl of their family, who is one year younger than Hong'er."
Lin Qingyun was not too surprised. The scholarly family of the Zhuang family has a profound heritage and is noble. The fifth girl, Zhuang Shixiang, is also the youngest daughter of the eldest family. She is very lively, good-looking, and quick in poetry.She knew better, and immediately said: "If eldest sister really wants to ask for marriage, she should come to the door as soon as possible. Before the national filial piety, several families came to ask the fifth girl. Because of the national filial piety, it is not easy to mention it. I just came out last year. , and two more came to the house, both of good family background, but their family didn't pay much attention to their family background, and they valued the uncle's own talents and abilities most. I'm two years younger, so I haven't agreed yet."
"Maybe it's Hong'er's blessing." The queen naturally knew the Zhuang family very well, and felt that this marriage was a good choice, so she immediately told Lin Qingyun: "Since your eldest sister entrusted you, then you have to take a hard trip. If the matchmaking is successful, let your eldest sister seal a generous thank you money, and let Hong'er get married in the future, let him thank you well."
"There's no need for big sister to thank me. This is Brother Hong's big deal. I'll go to the dealer tomorrow." Lin Qingyun also thought this marriage was a good one, and she really wanted to make it happen.
I delivered a post to the dealer that day, and went through the door early the next morning.
The old lady of the Zhuang family and the wife of the second room greeted them, and there were a few sisters of the Zhuang family. Everyone sat down and chatted a few gossips. Lin Qingyun swept the three sisters of the Zhuang family with a smile, and said in his words: "I came today, but there are Tell the eldest lady about it."
The three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have some clues, so the three sisters are free to go.
Only then did Lin Qingjun express his intentions: "To be honest with the old lady and the two wives, I was entrusted to come here today. Princess Yongjia has taken a fancy to the fifth girl of your family and wants to ask Brother Hong to marry her, so please let me tell you Hey. Brother Hong is seventeen years old, one year older than Miss Wu. He has been practicing martial arts since elementary school, and now he is practicing in the army. I am not praising my nephew. Brother Hong is really up to date, and he is a perfect match for Miss Wu. The princess has been brought up strictly since she was a child, and Hong Geer never released anyone around her, and she never goes to those bastard places outside, so there is absolutely no need to worry about her character."
The eldest lady glanced at the old lady, and said with a smile: "It's the fifth girl's good fortune to be liked by the eldest princess."
The second wife didn't open her mouth, after all she was the eldest daughter, she just listened.
On the contrary, the old lady said the truth: "The children's marriage is the most important thing, and I have to ask her father's opinion. The princess allows us to discuss it."
"That's natural. You just have to inquire. There's no rush. It's just a discussion. No matter whether it should be done or not, give me a letter." Lin Qingyun was a matchmaker for the first time. The whole life of the family will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the future, but now I slowly inquire and understand, and after weighing it, I feel it is appropriate, and the two families say that it is a good thing to be close.
Back at the mansion, Tu Yan asked about the result.
She said: "The matchmaking will be done once. I will mention it. They will inquire about Brother Hong's behavior in private. It will take a month or so. I will ask when the time comes. The banker The fifth girl is sixteen this year, if she really agrees, no matter how reserved she is, she won't be able to trust her for a year or two, I'm afraid she will be married this year and get married next year."
Tu Yan said: "Even if there is a reply, it will probably be April or May. The eldest son of the Zhuang family has participated in this year's examination, and the energy of the Zhuang family is all on it."
"As soon as you mentioned it, I remembered that Twelve is my younger sister Jiji. The Zhuang family chose that day to go to the Lin family to be hired. I have to go back early to help." After thinking about it, he said: "Then Zhuang Li is nineteen this year, and the Zhuang family will definitely marry him. The date is set for this year, and if Double Happiness is coming, it must be in April and May. I have to ask someone to clean up all the makeup, so as to save time and rush."
"There are still two or three months left, and it's enough time to clean up the same thing a day." Tu Yan pulled her to sit beside him, and asked her: "You mentioned earlier, what kind of private club do you want to open in Beijing? Tell me about it."
"It's just a thought on my mind. Nowadays, people in the world have a lot of demands on women. One of them is that they can't show their faces easily. What entertainment can they have if they are bored at home all day? Why is everyone's backyard so messy? It's also boring at home. Wouldn't it be great if there was a place for the female relatives to have fun, private and safe?"
"You have an idea, why don't you do it?"
"I used to have no status and ability, but now I have nothing to do." Lin Qingyun looked at him in amazement: "You never mentioned this for no reason, what's wrong?"
"A few days ago, I heard a foreigner talk about tea parties and salons. I asked a few questions curiously. I thought it was very interesting, and then I remembered what you said. I think your idea is very good. I will find the place. You just draw first. After drawing a picture of a house, it’s enough to have a general idea, and I’ll find someone to polish it.”
"You are willing to work hard, I am happy to relax. Don't make the place too big. I plan to use the money given by my adoptive father when I got married as makeup for my younger sister. I still have [-] to [-] spare money on hand. The rest is from the antique jewelry farm. Inside……"
"There's me too. Besides, it doesn't take that much money. Before Zhen's house ransacked, several criminals were implicated, some were dismissed from office, some were demoted, and the houses of Zhuangzi in Beijing were confiscated or sold. For money management, we can go directly to the household department to inquire and choose a suitable place to buy. If the house is good, we will only slightly modify it; if it is not good, we will postpone the reconstruction.”
Lin Qingyun held his hands and said solemnly: "Then it will be hard for the prince."
Tu Yan smiled and nodded her nose: "You go and work on Miss Lin's Jiji."
On the twelfth day, Lin Qingyun came to the Lin family early, and several girls from the Zhuang family, Jia Sanchun, and Baochai Xiangyun all came. A group of young sisters gathered together in an indescribably lively and cheerful way.Everyone knew that the Zhuang family was coming to hire someone today, and that Zhuang Li was still taking the exam today, so they all teased Daiyu.Daiyu coaxed her face and hid behind Lin Qingyun.
The Lin Mansion is full of guests today, making it extremely lively.
For Daiyu's Jiji ceremony, Lin Qingyun attended as the host, Jia Mu was invited as the guest of honor, Xichun was the guest, and Sister Feng was the praiser.Today is the appointment of the Zhuang family, and the girls of the Zhuang family deliberately avoided it. Besides, Daiyu is the closest to the Jia family after all.After the ceremony began, everyone took their positions and came according to the procedure. Mother Jia looked at the slim Daiyu, just like seeing Jia Min back then, and her mood fluctuated for a while, feeling extremely reluctant to part with her.
Jia Mu said: "Your father chose the word for you: Yuxi, I hope you will live in peace and happiness in the future."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit sad, the audience gathered around to laugh and praise Daiyu again and again.Suddenly someone from outside shouted: "The dealer has hired you!" Everyone was joking again, and Daiyu blushed and just avoided it.Not long after, Mrs. Zhuangjia arrived.
The Lin family didn't have a female family member, so Lin Ruhai entrusted Lin Qingjun with the affairs in the early days, after all, he is a big man and it is not easy to talk to the eldest wife of the Zhuang family.The betrothal gift was discussed by the two families early in the morning, but it was nothing, only the female family members who came to watch the ceremony saw it once, praised it once, and were envious and jealous.
After a busy day, after the guests dispersed, Lin Qingyun was busy greeting and packing up, and sealed up the warehouse that had been cleaned up earlier from the betrothal gifts.The other sisters also went back, only Lin Qingjun had told Tu Yan in advance to stay with Daiyu tonight.
Daiyu had already changed her clothes, and seeing that she was busy coming and going, she finally finished her work, and immediately brought a cup of tea to her: "Sister, sit and rest, leave the following matters to the servants, why bother?" Do everything by yourself. My sister was not like this at home before, could it be that her behavior has changed after she got married?" As he spoke, he began to tease her.
To say that Daiyu's temperament is the most narrow-minded, and she occasionally has a sharp mouth when she gets angry, which makes people hate her, but after thinking about it, she still thinks she is cute.
Lin Qingjun teased her and said, "I saw you were in a daze just now, what were you thinking? Could it be that you were worried about the eldest son of the Zhuang family? I know, my brother-in-law-to-be is taking an exam today."
"What about the prospective brother-in-law, I'm not worried about him!" Daiyu was poked at the center, and the more she defended, the more chaotic she became, and she simply hid her face with her hands in her hands.
Lin Qingjun looked at Daiyu and smiled straight: "Now the wedding date is set, and on April [-]th, the results of the palace examination for Mr. Zhuang must have come out at that time. The adoptive father used to praise him, but now that we are married, he has become You are so picky, the adoptive father is reluctant to part with you, and regards the eldest son of the Zhuang family as the enemy who took away the daughter."
Daiyu is shy about getting married, but also has reluctance and worry about leaving home: "If I go out in the future, there will be only my father at home, and no one will accompany me, how lonely I will be. Sometimes I even think... ..."
Lin Qingyun could understand the unfinished words, although Daiyu didn't like someone occupying Jia Min's position, but seeing Lin Ruhai alone, her heart was inevitably shaken, and she always felt that she was not filial.It's not easy for her to say anything about this kind of thing, that's Daiyu's mother, and everything must be decided by Daiyu.In fact, there is an aunt in Lin's mansion, but the aunt is not the master, let alone standing side by side with Lin Ruhai. She has no right to be a housekeeper or go out to socialize, and she is even restricted from caring about Lin Ruhai's daily life. They will not be counted as "people".
It would be even more sad to talk about it. She mentioned Yingchun's marriage: "The second girl went out on the eighteenth, and the Rongguo Mansion must be very lively that day. I also saw Miss Shi today. She has been engaged to the Wei family for two or three years. movement?"
Shi Xiangyun is the same age as Daiyu, fifteen years old this year.
Daiyu shook her head: "Her uncle and aunt are still working in other places and haven't come back yet, and I don't know how they discussed with the Wei family. Last year when I went to the country to mourn, many people held weddings. I didn't look very good when I saw her, and it was even worse. Ask. She has always been close to Sister Bao, but for some reason last year, the two of them became more distant. The sisters are all grown up, and it would be good if the family could manage it. Like the third sister, Sister Bao, she met one of the sisters. How can I feel good about leaving the cabinet alone. I just hope that all the sisters will have a good life."
As if thinking of something, he said again: "Sister, do you know that Sister Bao's elder brother is married? Sister Bao's sister-in-law's natal family is also a well-known imperial merchant in the household department. The family grows sweet-scented osmanthus, and all the bonsai in the palace are beautiful. It is enshrined by their family, known as Osmanthus Xia's family. At first it was Sister Bao's brother who was going to marry, but now the family is in trouble. It is said that the new sister-in-law is very powerful, not only dominating Sister Bao's brother, but even often quarreling with Aunt Xue. When I went back to the mansion where I went, I saw Xiangling... It was the girl that their family bought when they went to Beijing. She was originally a concubine for the Xue family, but now she is with Sister Bao. I asked the third sister , I realized that the new sister-in-law couldn't tolerate Xiangling, and there were many troubles because of this. Although the new sister-in-law did something wrong, the Xue family was too careless, and the main room did not enter the door, but they first served wine and took concubines in a dignified way."
"There are a lot of things going on in that mansion. How is your dowry preparation? After the big ceremony today, it's time to prepare the wedding dress." Lin Qingyun turned around.
Daiyu nodded: "Earlier, the material that my sister sent was very good. Nanny Zhou said it was a very rare brocade, and even the palace has rare items. It would be good to use it to cut wedding dresses, and there is no need to embroider too many complicated patterns. " I was embarrassed, so I kept my mouth shut and ordered Zijuan to fetch a list and hand it to her: "This is prepared by Daddy for me, I think it's too generous, but Daddy said that I'm the only one in our family... ..." Daiyu was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked her: "Sister, you said that if I want to adopt a son for the Lin family in the future, will the Zhuang family agree?"
Lin Qingyun was surprised: "Why don't you choose a suitable adoptive from the Lin clan?"
"It's just that there is no suitable one. I thought if it was mine... Daddy would like it more." Daiyu just thought about this idea in her heart, and dared not say it out loud. , too shameful, and secondly, I was afraid that Lin Ruhai's mind would be seduced, but in the end it didn't work out.How important is the offspring to every family, who is willing to adopt the offspring?What's more, he didn't even have his own surname.
Lin Qingyun paused, and said: "Don't think about it for now, after you pass the door, if you and your husband have a good relationship, you can mention it in private and see what the eldest son has to say."
Daiyu also knew the reason, nodded and said nothing.
Seeing the servants busy every day, Aunt Wenxin didn't touch any other government affairs except for dispatching the bride's house.In a blink of an eye, it was the last day of the first lunar month, Wen Xin dismissed the maids, sat alone in the inner room with Lin Qingyun, and took out a book and stuffed it for her.

"Could it be the dealer?" Lin Qingyun immediately guessed.There are many people who have contacts with the Prince's Mansion, but few have contacts with her. The Jia family and the Zhuang family are relatively close.According to the character of the Eldest Princess, she would definitely not choose Jia's daughter to be her daughter-in-law, so the only one left is the Zhuang family.
The eldest princess smiled and said, "It's the fifth girl of their family, who is one year younger than Hong'er."
Lin Qingyun was not too surprised. The scholarly family of the Zhuang family has a profound heritage and is noble. The fifth girl, Zhuang Shixiang, is also the youngest daughter of the eldest family. She is very lively, good-looking, and quick in poetry.She knew better, and immediately said: "If eldest sister really wants to ask for marriage, she should come to the door as soon as possible. Before the national filial piety, several families came to ask the fifth girl. Because of the national filial piety, it is not easy to mention it. I just came out last year. , and two more came to the house, both of good family background, but their family didn't pay much attention to their family background, and they valued the uncle's own talents and abilities most. I'm two years younger, so I haven't agreed yet."
"Maybe it's Hong'er's blessing." The queen naturally knew the Zhuang family very well, and felt that this marriage was a good choice, so she immediately told Lin Qingyun: "Since your eldest sister entrusted you, then you have to take a hard trip. If the matchmaking is successful, let your eldest sister seal a generous thank you money, and let Hong'er get married in the future, let him thank you well."
"There's no need for big sister to thank me. This is Brother Hong's big deal. I'll go to the dealer tomorrow." Lin Qingyun also thought this marriage was a good one, and she really wanted to make it happen.
I delivered a post to the dealer that day, and went through the door early the next morning.
The old lady of the Zhuang family and the wife of the second room greeted them, and there were a few sisters of the Zhuang family. Everyone sat down and chatted a few gossips. Lin Qingyun swept the three sisters of the Zhuang family with a smile, and said in his words: "I came today, but there are Tell the eldest lady about it."
The three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have some clues, so the three sisters are free to go.
Only then did Lin Qingjun express his intentions: "To be honest with the old lady and the two wives, I was entrusted to come here today. Princess Yongjia has taken a fancy to the fifth girl of your family and wants to ask Brother Hong to marry her, so please let me tell you Hey. Brother Hong is seventeen years old, one year older than Miss Wu. He has been practicing martial arts since elementary school, and now he is practicing in the army. I am not praising my nephew. Brother Hong is really up to date, and he is a perfect match for Miss Wu. The princess has been brought up strictly since she was a child, and Hong Geer never released anyone around her, and she never goes to those bastard places outside, so there is absolutely no need to worry about her character."
The eldest lady glanced at the old lady, and said with a smile: "It's the fifth girl's good fortune to be liked by the eldest princess."
The second wife didn't open her mouth, after all she was the eldest daughter, she just listened.
On the contrary, the old lady said the truth: "The children's marriage is the most important thing, and I have to ask her father's opinion. The princess allows us to discuss it."
"That's natural. You just have to inquire. There's no rush. It's just a discussion. No matter whether it should be done or not, give me a letter." Lin Qingyun was a matchmaker for the first time. The whole life of the family will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the future, but now I slowly inquire and understand, and after weighing it, I feel it is appropriate, and the two families say that it is a good thing to be close.
Back at the mansion, Tu Yan asked about the result.
She said: "The matchmaking will be done once. I will mention it. They will inquire about Brother Hong's behavior in private. It will take a month or so. I will ask when the time comes. The banker The fifth girl is sixteen this year, if she really agrees, no matter how reserved she is, she won't be able to trust her for a year or two, I'm afraid she will be married this year and get married next year."
Tu Yan said: "Even if there is a reply, it will probably be April or May. The eldest son of the Zhuang family has participated in this year's examination, and the energy of the Zhuang family is all on it."
"As soon as you mentioned it, I remembered that Twelve is my younger sister Jiji. The Zhuang family chose that day to go to the Lin family to be hired. I have to go back early to help." After thinking about it, he said: "Then Zhuang Li is nineteen this year, and the Zhuang family will definitely marry him. The date is set for this year, and if Double Happiness is coming, it must be in April and May. I have to ask someone to clean up all the makeup, so as to save time and rush."
"There are still two or three months left, and it's enough time to clean up the same thing a day." Tu Yan pulled her to sit beside him, and asked her: "You mentioned earlier, what kind of private club do you want to open in Beijing? Tell me about it."
"It's just a thought on my mind. Nowadays, people in the world have a lot of demands on women. One of them is that they can't show their faces easily. What entertainment can they have if they are bored at home all day? Why is everyone's backyard so messy? It's also boring at home. Wouldn't it be great if there was a place for the female relatives to have fun, private and safe?"
"You have an idea, why don't you do it?"
"I used to have no status and ability, but now I have nothing to do." Lin Qingyun looked at him in amazement: "You never mentioned this for no reason, what's wrong?"
"A few days ago, I heard a foreigner talk about tea parties and salons. I asked a few questions curiously. I thought it was very interesting, and then I remembered what you said. I think your idea is very good. I will find the place. You just draw first. After drawing a picture of a house, it’s enough to have a general idea, and I’ll find someone to polish it.”
"You are willing to work hard, I am happy to relax. Don't make the place too big. I plan to use the money given by my adoptive father when I got married as makeup for my younger sister. I still have [-] to [-] spare money on hand. The rest is from the antique jewelry farm. Inside……"
"There's me too. Besides, it doesn't take that much money. Before Zhen's house ransacked, several criminals were implicated, some were dismissed from office, some were demoted, and the houses of Zhuangzi in Beijing were confiscated or sold. For money management, we can go directly to the household department to inquire and choose a suitable place to buy. If the house is good, we will only slightly modify it; if it is not good, we will postpone the reconstruction.”
Lin Qingyun held his hands and said solemnly: "Then it will be hard for the prince."
Tu Yan smiled and nodded her nose: "You go and work on Miss Lin's Jiji."
On the twelfth day, Lin Qingyun came to the Lin family early, and several girls from the Zhuang family, Jia Sanchun, and Baochai Xiangyun all came. A group of young sisters gathered together in an indescribably lively and cheerful way.Everyone knew that the Zhuang family was coming to hire someone today, and that Zhuang Li was still taking the exam today, so they all teased Daiyu.Daiyu coaxed her face and hid behind Lin Qingyun.
The Lin Mansion is full of guests today, making it extremely lively.
For Daiyu's Jiji ceremony, Lin Qingyun attended as the host, Jia Mu was invited as the guest of honor, Xichun was the guest, and Sister Feng was the praiser.Today is the appointment of the Zhuang family, and the girls of the Zhuang family deliberately avoided it. Besides, Daiyu is the closest to the Jia family after all.After the ceremony began, everyone took their positions and came according to the procedure. Mother Jia looked at the slim Daiyu, just like seeing Jia Min back then, and her mood fluctuated for a while, feeling extremely reluctant to part with her.
Jia Mu said: "Your father chose the word for you: Yuxi, I hope you will live in peace and happiness in the future."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit sad, the audience gathered around to laugh and praise Daiyu again and again.Suddenly someone from outside shouted: "The dealer has hired you!" Everyone was joking again, and Daiyu blushed and just avoided it.Not long after, Mrs. Zhuangjia arrived.
The Lin family didn't have a female family member, so Lin Ruhai entrusted Lin Qingjun with the affairs in the early days, after all, he is a big man and it is not easy to talk to the eldest wife of the Zhuang family.The betrothal gift was discussed by the two families early in the morning, but it was nothing, only the female family members who came to watch the ceremony saw it once, praised it once, and were envious and jealous.
After a busy day, after the guests dispersed, Lin Qingyun was busy greeting and packing up, and sealed up the warehouse that had been cleaned up earlier from the betrothal gifts.The other sisters also went back, only Lin Qingjun had told Tu Yan in advance to stay with Daiyu tonight.
Daiyu had already changed her clothes, and seeing that she was busy coming and going, she finally finished her work, and immediately brought a cup of tea to her: "Sister, sit and rest, leave the following matters to the servants, why bother?" Do everything by yourself. My sister was not like this at home before, could it be that her behavior has changed after she got married?" As he spoke, he began to tease her.
To say that Daiyu's temperament is the most narrow-minded, and she occasionally has a sharp mouth when she gets angry, which makes people hate her, but after thinking about it, she still thinks she is cute.
Lin Qingjun teased her and said, "I saw you were in a daze just now, what were you thinking? Could it be that you were worried about the eldest son of the Zhuang family? I know, my brother-in-law-to-be is taking an exam today."
"What about the prospective brother-in-law, I'm not worried about him!" Daiyu was poked at the center, and the more she defended, the more chaotic she became, and she simply hid her face with her hands in her hands.
Lin Qingjun looked at Daiyu and smiled straight: "Now the wedding date is set, and on April [-]th, the results of the palace examination for Mr. Zhuang must have come out at that time. The adoptive father used to praise him, but now that we are married, he has become You are so picky, the adoptive father is reluctant to part with you, and regards the eldest son of the Zhuang family as the enemy who took away the daughter."
Daiyu is shy about getting married, but also has reluctance and worry about leaving home: "If I go out in the future, there will be only my father at home, and no one will accompany me, how lonely I will be. Sometimes I even think... ..."
Lin Qingyun could understand the unfinished words, although Daiyu didn't like someone occupying Jia Min's position, but seeing Lin Ruhai alone, her heart was inevitably shaken, and she always felt that she was not filial.It's not easy for her to say anything about this kind of thing, that's Daiyu's mother, and everything must be decided by Daiyu.In fact, there is an aunt in Lin's mansion, but the aunt is not the master, let alone standing side by side with Lin Ruhai. She has no right to be a housekeeper or go out to socialize, and she is even restricted from caring about Lin Ruhai's daily life. They will not be counted as "people".
It would be even more sad to talk about it. She mentioned Yingchun's marriage: "The second girl went out on the eighteenth, and the Rongguo Mansion must be very lively that day. I also saw Miss Shi today. She has been engaged to the Wei family for two or three years. movement?"
Shi Xiangyun is the same age as Daiyu, fifteen years old this year.
Daiyu shook her head: "Her uncle and aunt are still working in other places and haven't come back yet, and I don't know how they discussed with the Wei family. Last year when I went to the country to mourn, many people held weddings. I didn't look very good when I saw her, and it was even worse. Ask. She has always been close to Sister Bao, but for some reason last year, the two of them became more distant. The sisters are all grown up, and it would be good if the family could manage it. Like the third sister, Sister Bao, she met one of the sisters. How can I feel good about leaving the cabinet alone. I just hope that all the sisters will have a good life."
As if thinking of something, he said again: "Sister, do you know that Sister Bao's elder brother is married? Sister Bao's sister-in-law's natal family is also a well-known imperial merchant in the household department. The family grows sweet-scented osmanthus, and all the bonsai in the palace are beautiful. It is enshrined by their family, known as Osmanthus Xia's family. At first it was Sister Bao's brother who was going to marry, but now the family is in trouble. It is said that the new sister-in-law is very powerful, not only dominating Sister Bao's brother, but even often quarreling with Aunt Xue. When I went back to the mansion where I went, I saw Xiangling... It was the girl that their family bought when they went to Beijing. She was originally a concubine for the Xue family, but now she is with Sister Bao. I asked the third sister , I realized that the new sister-in-law couldn't tolerate Xiangling, and there were many troubles because of this. Although the new sister-in-law did something wrong, the Xue family was too careless, and the main room did not enter the door, but they first served wine and took concubines in a dignified way."
"There are a lot of things going on in that mansion. How is your dowry preparation? After the big ceremony today, it's time to prepare the wedding dress." Lin Qingyun turned around.
Daiyu nodded: "Earlier, the material that my sister sent was very good. Nanny Zhou said it was a very rare brocade, and even the palace has rare items. It would be good to use it to cut wedding dresses, and there is no need to embroider too many complicated patterns. " I was embarrassed, so I kept my mouth shut and ordered Zijuan to fetch a list and hand it to her: "This is prepared by Daddy for me, I think it's too generous, but Daddy said that I'm the only one in our family... ..." Daiyu was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked her: "Sister, you said that if I want to adopt a son for the Lin family in the future, will the Zhuang family agree?"
Lin Qingyun was surprised: "Why don't you choose a suitable adoptive from the Lin clan?"
"It's just that there is no suitable one. I thought if it was mine... Daddy would like it more." Daiyu just thought about this idea in her heart, and dared not say it out loud. , too shameful, and secondly, I was afraid that Lin Ruhai's mind would be seduced, but in the end it didn't work out.How important is the offspring to every family, who is willing to adopt the offspring?What's more, he didn't even have his own surname.
Lin Qingyun paused, and said: "Don't think about it for now, after you pass the door, if you and your husband have a good relationship, you can mention it in private and see what the eldest son has to say."
Daiyu also knew the reason, nodded and said nothing.
