[Red Mansion] Father and Son Crossover

Because of the arrival of Nanny Shen, a confession inexplicably made the atmosphere of the Jiao family, which was a little up and down because of the upcoming new mistress, quickly calm down.Not only did Jiao Yufeng and his son relax, but even the servants rested a little nervously, not thinking about the possible changes after having a mistress.

Speaking of it, this may be the sorrow of women in this era. A person who cannot give birth seems to be able to suppress everything, so that he becomes unable to straighten his waist, cannot raise his voice, and even the servants can despise a little bit.But in any case, this is always a good thing for Jiao Yufeng and his son.Because of this, I put a little more thought into organizing the wedding.It's hard to say how much of this is pitiful, and how much is for people to see. Anyway, one day at the end of March, when Shen's niece was successfully released from the palace, all this began to enter the express train road.

By the end of April, the small courtyard of Jiao Yufeng's family in the capital had been completely decorated.Red silk and happy characters almost covered the entire courtyard, and even the furniture inside were basically replaced with decent styles.Jiao Yufeng and his son brought their servants, and they had already stationed here a few days ago.

Yes, this will be the place where Jiao Yufeng gets married instead of going directly to the village.As for why the wedding banquet was not put in the village?Hey, have you forgotten that Jia Daihua is a matchmaker, and he said he would attend, but you said, can it be held in the village?Let a prince and villagers in the countryside have a wedding wine together?Even if Jia Daihua only played for a while at most, and left after drinking a drink, this level can't be too bad.It's even more impossible for such a duke to raid so many roads just to see something, right?As a subordinate of others, you must learn to look at the eyes, and you must know how to create the convenience for the leader to be a corporal. . .Anyway, that's it.

Besides, originally this was the marriage of Jiao Da's nephew, and it was a marriage that Jiao Da came forward to arrange. There were quite a few people that Jiao Da wanted to invite, and most of them were people around the Jia family, such as the old guard who was also a personal guard. Friends, old comrades in arms or something.So, in this capital city, it is very possible and necessary to have Jiao Da's guards and colleagues to participate.

Because of such a special situation, Jiao Yufeng simply divided the wedding banquet into two, one was held in the city on the day of the wedding, and the other was held in the city on the day of the wedding, and then the people in the village were invited to have a meal three days after the wedding.Such an arrangement should satisfy everyone. As for the cost?What are the expenses at this time!In such an occasion, the more lively it is, the more popular it is.Even Jiao Yufeng himself, there are quite a few contacts in the capital who just took this opportunity to take good care of them, such as the wood, the county magistrate, and Tian Wenshu. . .

Because of this, Jiao Yufeng set up tables in almost all the rooms in this small courtyard except for a new house, including the courtyard.As for other people's accommodation?There's nothing we can do, everyone, Jiao, let's make do with it.Who made this yard really small, there were only five rooms, Jiao Yufeng was really disgusted at this moment, and regretted that he hadn't been able to change to a bigger house.Fortunately, after passing this hurdle, there are big houses in the country, so I can live in whatever I want.

Of course, the wedding banquet was going to be held in this small courtyard, so the bride would naturally have to find another place when she got married. Jiao Yufeng also took good care of this issue, so as not to cause any trouble.Fortunately, Nanny Shen is not the kind of embarrassing person who has nothing and leaves the palace, a small courtyard that acts as her mother's house can still get her hands on it.Not only is there no shortage of small courtyards serving as her mother's home, but the dowry is also too eye-catching.When the dowry was given the day before the marriage, many people were stunned.

With the savings of Nanny Shen and the bride alone, plus Jiao Yufeng's 200 taels of betrothal gift, a total of twelve sets of dowries were made up, ranging from clothing materials and jewelry to decorative utensils, small pieces of furniture to ten acres of dowry fields, no The same is just for the sake of numbers, and some of them are high-quality goods when you look at them, and they really deserve to come out of the palace.

If some jewelry and clothing materials from Jia's female family members are added, the Rong Mansion will give a reward of a small house in order to show the importance it attaches to the nun who is about to marry, and so on. If you add some worthless but necessary bedding, bedding, curtains, needlework, copper basins, etc., the number will be added to 24, and the dowry silver will also be 200 taels, which can reach the small landowner's family. The degree of incomparability is almost the same as that of ordinary seventh-rank officials and eunuchs who marry the first daughter, and there are also fields and houses, which are quite rich.Let Jiao Da

Those old guys couldn't help but pat Jiao Da on the shoulder and congratulate his nephew on marrying such a wealthy wife.

It is decent in this era that a bride has a lot of dowry, but it is more of a bride’s confidence, because the rule at this time is that the bride’s dowry can only be used by herself, or for children. Can get it back.Those who lived with their daughter-in-law's dowry were despised.So even though there were a lot of things brought in, Jiao Yufeng didn't care too much about it, even though he thought he was decent and handsome. On the contrary, he felt pain because of the money in the box. The number of silver is given to add boxes.And this addition to the box also has a numerical meaning. For example, half of the silver in the box is basically satisfied, the same number is very satisfied, and double is. . .This is basically very little, so I won’t say it.

And in order to show importance, especially because of Jia Daihua's face, do you think Jiao Yufeng can give less?It has to be the same anyway, right?For the 200 taels, Jiao Yufeng's hands were shaking a little.If the money is given out, it will be the daughter-in-law's private money.This is to empty out the old bottom.

Why do you say that?Did you forget what I said earlier?The dowry was 200 taels, but the co-authorship was 400 taels.He and his own boy have saved up for nearly a year, carrying copies of gold and silver in his arms day by day, trying to earn money unremittingly, throwing away those expenses, buying land, etc., and the rest But only about 2000 taels.If this happy event is done like this, a quarter of it will be gone. Tell me, can this expense be painful?

But I have to give it even if it hurts, it's face, besides, he knows in his heart that this family has enough to not reveal his wealth, according to the news his uncle heard, although the girl didn't bring much when she left the palace, Although the nanny has a lot of things, she also has limited money, but the rewards from the grandma and wife for this marriage alone are more than this amount.It can be seen that people also know his difficulties, so he should not be underestimated, right?Thinking about it differently, 400 taels for such a wealthy daughter-in-law, everything from people to wealth belongs to your family, which is quite a deal.

Jiao Yufeng, who comforted himself for a while, handed over the money with a smile on his face, let Jiao Lin step forward, and put it heavily in the dowry box.It attracted a burst of applause from the people who came to see the dowry.And on the night of this day, Jiao Yufeng's actions gained even more benefits.

"This is..."

Jiao Yufeng looked at a big box on the ground in front of him, his face full of confusion.For a while, I didn't know how to respond, but Jiao Da, who couldn't hold back the joy on his face, kept patting Jiao Yufeng's shoulder and said:

"Stinky boy, your luck is really not ordinary. The dowry has just entered the door today, and the Duke over there said that since the Rongfu served as the mother's house and added makeup, then it belongs to the man. , and you can’t be stingy, haha, this is the two brothers of the Grand Duke who are in trouble, and they are taking advantage of this happy event to have fun. But no matter what, we are the one who takes advantage anyway. No matter who gives it, it ends up in our old man’s Jiao’s, haha, I’m so happy to hear that. Look, this box is a good item, and it’s bound to be very decent when placed.”

Put it on?Jiao Yufeng walked over to open the box, and he took a deep breath when he saw it. He really put the word on it, because there are a dozen or so ornaments here. Red sandalwood gourds, green and white jade copper coin cabbage, boxwood Ruyi, etc., are not things that people like them can have.Well, it doesn't seem to be the style of the old Jia's family.

"These... Uncle, could it be that when the house was raided..."

Jiao Yufeng was holding one thing in his hand, and after looking at it for a few times, his heart moved. He moved to Jiao Da's side, and asked his guess in a low voice. He lowered his voice and said:

"It's fine if you know it in your heart. Although people in the Duke's mansion don't like these things, and they are just ashesy goods in the warehouse, they are already very easy to get in a house like ours. Don't worry about them." I don't know good from bad."

Speaking of these things, Jiao Da may be the one who knows the most clearly. After all, he was the leader in the house raids, and he packed many things into boxes.

, those who carried them into the warehouse of the Jia family, naturally understood at a glance, and even knew that there were as many as one or twenty boxes of these things in the Jia family. Let's talk about the same price as buying cabbage.

But as he said, whether this thing is worth money or not depends on who owns it.At Jia's house, it may not be a big deal, and you can throw away or give away things, but when you arrive at his house, everything is at the bottom of the box and is a good heirloom.Who made his family poor, it would be nice to have these, this is still a good thing to follow this happy event, taking advantage of the excitement of the master of Rongning Second Mansion, otherwise, I dare not even think about it.It's him himself, being this teacher, being a confidant for so many years, isn't it just a little bit, Kakaka, why does it feel a little sour to say this, um, one needs to be content.

"How could it be? It's just for nothing. I can only be happy. I don't have such thoughts."

Jiao Yufeng really has no other ideas. As a poor woman in two lifetimes, he has basically never touched such treasures except watching TV or visiting museums.Although now he has his son's synthetic plug-in, bits and pieces, using some good wood and broken jade, he has also made some things, but it may be a matter of artistic taste or aesthetics , No matter how you look at it, the grade is not enough.Now that I can get these, I am already very surprised, what other ideas can I have?If there is, I guess it's just a feeling, those servants of this wealthy family will just save things.

But the surprises are obviously more than that. When Jiao Yufeng took out the things in the box one by one and groped to appreciate them one by one, Jiao Da took out two shiny things from his arms, which were the most heart-warming things for Jiao Yufeng. .

"Well, it's good if you can think like this, and this, you see, two ingots of 50 taels, this is the happy money specially given to you by the Duke of the country. Subsidies given are not decent enough."

Whoops, how could this Jia Daihua be so caring, did he know the pain he gave to Yinzi today?Oh, he is so kind to him, he is really a little embarrassed, um, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but the hand that received the silver is still very fast, so fast that Jiao Da laughed, and nodded his nephew's forehead, saying:

"Grandpa Guo's meaning is already very clear from these things. What's wrong with our family, we must hold up our face and never lose our share. Do you understand this?"

Why do not understand.This Jiao Da was born in Jia Daihua's personal guard, and he was an official along his line. Naturally, he was a member of the Jia family's camp.That's why both the Rong Mansion and the Ning Mansion paid such attention to this happy event.In the final analysis, it is for the world to see, to let those low-level soldiers know that it is good to follow the old Jia's family.It is also a statement to the royal family.You see, how much my old Jia's family valued the royal family, even those who came out of this cold palace treated it with such caution.

Even though Jiao Yufeng didn't know much about politics, and he wasn't a big man with a flexible mind, he had watched so many dramas anyway, so he figured it out after a few more turns, so he nodded neatly and smiled. said:

"I understand, Uncle, it will be very lively tomorrow. I also invited a lot of good friends in the city, most of them are from the yamen. They must be able to see these good things that the Jia family gave us."

Jiao Da is very happy that his nephew is quite up-to-date. He just thinks that this nephew knows better than his own wooden son, and he can't help but feel a little pity.Back then, if this child had been in the city with him, with such a talent, he might have been able to get a good job in the Yamen. It's a pity, but now. . .Forget it, that's fine, everyone says that the cunning rabbit has three caves, it's always good to leave a way out.

"Sure, it's up to you tomorrow. I have a wife, Erlang...live a good life, your parents... I don't ask you how you will be successful in the future, how you will flourish, as long as you are well and have a beautiful life , Uncle is satisfied."

Speaking of the latter, Jiao Da's eyes couldn't help getting a little damp.This nephew was a hard-working man 20 years ago, and now he has turned over with great difficulty. He only hopes that he can live in such a smooth manner in the future, and nothing bad will happen again.

Jiao Da patted Jiao Yufeng on the shoulder, sighed, and erased all the memories of the past

He spat it out, turned his head, and walked out the door with a smile.He also needs to keep his spirits up, so as not to be looked down upon by those old guys who are like wine vats tomorrow.

"Beep bang bang..."

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, red paper was flying all over the sky, and joy mixed with noisy voices came from a distance. Jiao Shibo, who was standing at the gate of the small courtyard, looked out from the crowd. With an annoyed smile, he rode on the horse and led the red sedan chair slowly towards this side.For some reason, his heart suddenly felt sour.

From then on, there will be one more person in their family; a woman who has no blood relationship with him; a woman who has replaced his mother as the mistress of the house; Part of the future of this family.He didn't know whether such a change was good or bad. The only thing he knew was that since then, he had completely lost his dream of reuniting his parents.

Is it weird?Even after time travel, he actually had such a dream?In the dream, my mother also traveled through time, met them, broke the previous barriers, and brought the family together again. . .Hehe, in fact, he already knew that this was impossible, but as a child, a child who is only a few years old, it seems that it is not too much to hope and lie to himself in a dream.

But now, he can no longer lie to himself, he will have a stepmother who was born as a court lady.This home will also move towards a new future in this era.

"A bow to heaven and earth..."

"Second obeisance to the high hall..."

In the main hall, Jiao Da sat on the head seat of the parents for the newcomer ceremony. His face was blushing with joy, his eyes were still shining, and he was being teased by a group of people. Next to him, Jiao Lin's smile was shining brightly, and he warmly greeted everyone , even Jiao Dazhu, who used to not join in the fun, was flushed with excitement, helping to greet those guests who used to be very respectable in Jiao's house, Jiao Shibo suddenly felt like an outsider, and became inexplicably deserted and lonely.

"Brother, hurry up, there are delicious food here."

But before he could feel sad and feel pity for himself, the cousin who was two years older than him had already come to pull him.For children of this age, such excitement has only one meaning, and that is delicious.And he is very brotherly, knowing that he is pulling his cousin, he looks like a big brother.

Well, maybe this is also related to Jiao Lin's care yesterday?As a woman, Jiao Lin is obviously not as careless as those gentlemen. From the very beginning, she knew the impact of the stepmother's entry on the child. Even though Jiao Shibo looked very normal, she took care of him very carefully. My son must always take his younger brother with him.From this point of view, what this aunt did was quite good.

"My mother said, as long as we don't go out, you can walk in this yard. You follow me, and I will take you to the kitchen. I saw such a big piece of meat. By the way, there are a lot of fruits... "

Jiao Shibo knew Jiao Lin's heart just after listening to a few words, and seeing the appearance of this cousin holding on to his family, it was like a warm current, which made him forget all his self-pity.Wiping his face, he regained the appearance of a child who didn't know the world, and then said:

"Fruit? I happen to be a little hungry, so let's go quickly. By the way, don't even think about meat. After eating that, I won't be able to eat the banquet after a while. My father has reserved a table in Huiquanlou. I heard it’s delicious. It costs 3 taels of silver for a table of noodles, it’s a waste if you don’t eat it.”

"Well, let's eat less and wait first."

Life always has to go on, people always have to look forward, sadness or something, compared with delicious food, it is really insignificant. . .
