The first thing Jia's filial piety is not to marry Yingchun immediately, but to gather the whole family together for a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Of course, it is also very important to get married in Yingchun, but firstly, it has been delayed for so long, there is no need to hurry up these few days; The important thing is that there are no particularly good days after mid-August. After discussing with Wang Xifeng, Xu's family set the date on September [-]th.

As for the long-lost Mid-Autumn Festival...

Not to mention, I don’t know if it’s pure luck in Jia’s house or what. I still remember that the year before the separation, because of Lin Ruhai’s serious illness, Jia Lian took Daiyu south to visit relatives. This trip lasted more than a year. .The Mid-Autumn Festival originally focused on a family reunion. It would be okay if some unimportant role was missing, but it happened to be the extremely important Second Master Lian.Naturally, although no one disturbed the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, it passed so-so.

Not two months after Jia Lian returned to Beijing with Daiyu, Jia Amnesty passed away.For three consecutive years, the so-called Mid-Autumn Festival has no festive atmosphere at all except for the occasional mooncakes.After that, it was Jia Zheng who belched on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Wang and other second house owners were all thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Jia's mother passed away two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival...

Counting, this is already the seventh year.

Seven years ago, sister Qiao was only three years old, and brother Rong was only born more than half a year ago.Seven years later, everything has changed.However, for the Jia family, although there have been twists and turns and pains over the years, generally speaking, life is always developing on the positive side.And this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to the masters of the Jia family, there were several more people.

It is impossible for Daiyu who has left the court to come back. She will go to the palace to receive the banquet with the King of Beijing and the old concubine, but the ceremony was delivered early.The so-called extra members refer to Cong'er who was adopted by the head of the Jia clan, Jia Huan who was formally attached to Cong'er, and some uninvited child...

"I said, Your Royal Highness, you insisted on staying during the Dragon Boat Festival earlier, and I admit it. You insisted on spending it with Brother Qiaoer on the Qiqiao Festival, and I can bear it. May I ask you to go back to your Nan'an County Palace honestly during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" , why do you have to stay at my house?"

Jia Lian felt that he had run out of patience.

From last year to this year, except for the first ten days of the year, Huo Xiao really regarded Jia's Mansion as his home.Of course, he is considered polite, he only lives in the guest courtyard in the front yard at night, and only stays in the backyard of Jia's mansion during the day.But even so, Jia Lian still couldn't bear it.Especially on this day of family reunion, no matter how you look at it, this kid is an eyesore!

Huo Xiao blinked his eyes, pretending to be innocent.

Sister Qiao at the side first glanced at Jia Lian after hearing the words, then turned her head and glanced at Huo Xiao, and immediately suggested, "Why don't you throw him out? Just like his own father."

Like his own father...

Qiaojie's words are so contagious, but anyone who hears her words instantly sees the image of Nan'an County King galloping on horseback, but suddenly stops at the gate of Jia's mansion, and casually pulls Huo Huo on his horse back. The scene left behind.

Although not many people really saw that scene with their own eyes, after all, most of the female family members of Jia's mansion did not leave the gate, but even if they were not lucky enough to see it with their own eyes, at least they heard it from people.Especially Feng'er in front of Wang Xifeng, even if she is married, she still has that erratic virtue. Her husband has seen it with his own eyes, and she is very responsible to publicize that scene vividly and vividly in the whole house dozens of times.

Huo Xiao looked at Sister Qiao sadly, and said after a while, "I'm very pitiful. In the past, every Mid-Autumn Festival, I sat alone in the yard, and no one accompanied me to eat moon cakes and enjoy the moon. It was really miserable. "

Don't talk about others, even Brother Rong can't be fooled.But Huo Xiao nodded resolutely, and said like an oath: "I swear that what I said is true, isn't this... Are my parents going to the palace? There is really no one to accompany me." Of course, Everyone here does not include the servant girl, after all, in Huo Xiao's eyes, servants are not considered family members.

Sister Qiao still didn't believe it: "Then why don't you go with me? Are you not the prince? Can't you go too?"

"I can go, I went once when I was a child." As soon as Huo Xiao said this, he received a lot of contemptuous looks, as if he was saying that you are not a child now.At that moment, Huo Xiao only frowned and said distressedly, "I really only went there once. At that time, the first emperor was still in power. I and a group of princes and grandchildren made the whole Mid-Autumn Festival upside down... and later , I was forbidden to enter the palace for banquets, that is, only at the end of the year, I would follow my parents into the palace and kowtow from afar."

It's too awful.

Ha ha……

Defeated by Huo Xiao's words, and Jia Lian didn't really want to chase him away, so this matter was exposed for the time being.It didn't take long for the delicacies and wines to be served, and of course the delicious mooncakes were indispensable.Because Yingchun is going to get married next month, I'm afraid she won't be able to spend the festival with her natal family in the future, so everyone surrounds her uncharacteristically, especially the female relatives.

Jia Lian didn't feel sad at all, and because she hadn't had a good drink for several years, she only took Jia Huan and Cong'er, who were barely considered men, to drink.Fortunately, all the rum and fruit wine were prepared at the other end of the big kitchen, Jia Lian was not drunk at all, and even Jia Huan and Cong'er were only slightly tipsy.

When the moon is on the top of the willows, the family banquet will be over.

In the future, it will naturally be the marriage of Yingchun.

The dowry and other things are not a problem, not to mention the seventy-eight eighty-eight items that have been purchased a few years ago, even the missing parts have been made up in the past few months.After all, the law only stipulates that you cannot marry during the filial piety period, and never said that you cannot buy things during the filial piety period.

Yingchun married the third brother of Wang Xifeng's grandfather Xu's family, so Yingchun should have this luck.You know, when they first talked about their marriage, it was Wang Xifeng who wanted to tell Tanchun to the Xu family's second elder brother.Not long after that, something happened to the Rongguo Mansion, and Wang Xifeng also changed his mind, and instead told Yingchun about it, but it was the third elder brother of the Xu family.Speaking of which, Xu Sangeer is one year younger than Yingchun, although he is a little spoiled because he is the youngest son, his knowledge is first-class.No, just last year, Enkeli, which is now open, has a Jinshi degree.However, because of his young age and lack of experience as an official, Xu Sangeer was placed in the Hanlin Academy.

Don't look at the salary of the Imperial Academy is not high, but it is first-class for scholars.Besides, although the Xu family is not as old as it was decades ago, the family fortune is still there.The salary of the Imperial Academy is not high, and the Xu family can't treat the youngest son badly, and the dowry for Yingchun is also considered generous, so I think Xiaokouzi can live comfortably after marriage.

Except for a little.

"Second Master Lian, I have already asked people to find out. The Xu family is not allowed to take concubines for the third elder brother, but he has someone in the house. I heard that the old lady of the Xu family gave one, and the wife of the Xu family gave one. , and another one is said to be given by Mrs. Xu's sister."

Wang Xifeng smiled wryly.Ordinarily, it is normal for this brother to have a few people in the house before he gets married, and it is a kind of dignity for the old lady and the wife to give the big maid around him.But the last one was a bit more meaningful.Just think about it, if before Jia Zhu got married, Mrs. Xue's family had specially sent a maid there, what would others think?Of course, if it was Baoyu, as the future mother-in-law of the Xue family, it would be fine to send a maid, provided she was stupid enough.

"Let the second younger sister be dismissed immediately after entering the door, isn't it all right?" Jia Lian didn't take it seriously at all. Didn't he also have a maid before getting married?But it was given by Jiamu and Mrs. Wang respectively. As a stepmother, Mrs. Xing was used to being cautious, so she didn't interfere.But as soon as Wang Xifeng came in, he was dismissed immediately.

"Second Master Lian, do you think that my second younger sister has a similar temperament to mine?"

Jia Lian couldn't help laughing, then shook her head and sighed: "What else should I do? After the girl's family is married, she is a member of her husband's family. If their family spoils their concubine and kills their wife, I can intervene as the elder brother of her mother's family. But it doesn't matter. The people in the house who don't have a name..."

The so-called people in the house are not even called concubines.You know, according to the laws of this dynasty, a real concubine must be born in a beloved man, and must prepare a concubine document in the official yamen before entering the door.Even more detailed, not all men are eligible to take concubines, only those who have achieved fame and official positions can take concubines, and there are strict regulations on the number of concubines.

Like Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao in the house of the second-bedroom master Jia Zheng in the Rongguo Mansion, they are obviously called Auntie, but that is a polite way of saying, their real identities are the daughters of Rongguo Mansion's family, that is, selling themselves By.It can be said that unless the Rongguo Mansion returns the deed of selling their lives first, restores their good status, and then goes through a series of complicated processes, and formally carries them in a small sedan chair through the side door...otherwise they will be housemaids, prostituted slaves for a lifetime.

Brother Xu San was qualified to take a concubine, but he didn't do that.Or unless he can't think about it and insists on taking two concubines, or else he is blatantly treating the concubine's room as his wife's room, apart from these two situations, Jia Lian can't intervene at all.

"You just watch our sister being bullied by her mother-in-law and squeezed out by her sister-in-law after she gets married. When she returns to her own yard, she still has to look at the face of the housemaid? Oh, it's so hard to be a woman!" Wang Xifeng sighed. road.

Jia Lian: ...

After being dazed for a while, Jia Lian wiped his face fiercely, and said accusingly: "Tell me, who has bullied you, who has run on you, and who has shown you face after being in the door for so many years? That's all for the old lady, she's so coaxed by you that she almost doesn't know her last name. The wife is already burning incense if she hasn't been bullied, and sister-in-law Zhu is run over by you every day. How dare you lay a black hand! Is there anything you can’t do? It’s so hard to be a woman... Humph!"
