old lady in red

That night, Jia Min clamored to sleep with Shi Mei.

Holding Shimei in his arms, he smiled and cried, coquettishly: "Which rule requires women to marry men, is it not allowed for men to marry women?"

Shi Mei coaxed her: "Okay, okay, let's change it for him tomorrow, let men marry, let them taste the taste of crying marriage..."

Jia Min was stunned: "If a man cries for marriage, wouldn't he laugh to death..."

After saying that, he hid in Shimei's arms and snickered, only laughing so that his whole body trembled.

Shi Mei also laughed: "Aren't you ashamed, crying and laughing at the same time..."

It took Jia Min a long time to hold back, and said stubbornly: "It's all my mother's fault, she made people laugh and then said..."

Shi Mei said to Jia Min: "Don't think that a woman will be happy if she lives in her mother's house all her life, and there will be a lot of troubles.

For example, you, I am alive, I love you both coldly and hotly, and I will be gone for a day..."

Jia Min hurriedly said: "Mom, you will live a long life..."

Shi Mei said: "Long live to be a hundred years old, what about after a hundred years old?

I'm gone, you're on your nephews, brothers.

Let’s just talk about me, your brother is my own, and he overturned with me.

He is my own, and I am so angry that if my nephew contradicts you, what will you do?

This is just one of them.

Second, in life, you must experience something, and you must experience it yourself.

Life is complete and meaningful.

As the ancient saying goes, life is unsatisfactory out of ten.

It's about how hard life is.

In fact, suffering in life is sometimes a fortune.

Like our family, your father passed away suddenly.

How terrified were we?

But looking back, it is not without benefits for us to return to our hometown to observe mourning for three years.

Because your two elder brothers lost their support, they had to stand on their own. This is the reward for them through suffering.

Think about it, isn't that the reason? "

Jia Min said sullenly: "That's different, brother and the others have you helping and pointing?"

Shi Mei bit her nose: "Maybe you are married, so I don't care about you?"

Jia Min said: "But I can't go home every day. Aunt Lin looks fine, but I don't know what the future holds. After all..."

Shi Mei patted her hand: "Don't worry, Min'er is so smart, your mother-in-law will definitely like you, and Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin is a sincere gentleman, he once promised me that he would love and treat you well, I will definitely not break my promise.

If your mother-in-law deliberately makes things difficult, don't hide it, but ask your son-in-law for help.

He is a smart man and will definitely help you.

If the son-in-law fails, there is still a mother.

Go to sleep, if you don't sleep well, tomorrow won't be beautiful, and you have to get up early tomorrow morning. "

Jia Min babbled and chatted for a while, but was finally defeated by sleepiness with infinite worries.

Shi Mei couldn't fall asleep.

He simply got up and looked at Jia Min who was sleeping soundly, feeling very uncomfortable.

Back then, when Shi Mei got married, she acted like a baby with her mother in the same way, a little scared.

Shi Mei was very worried at that time, because the daughters of the Shi family had a hard time with offspring.

In fact, Shi Mei really wanted to have a baby. Since she might not be able to conceive, she found Lizhi Dink's husband.

Free love, even so.

It is also reasonable for Jia Min to panic about life after marriage.

After all, there are thousands of pets at home, loved by parents, loved by brothers and sisters, loved by nephews.

Suddenly changing to an unfamiliar environment, everyone will worry about it.

Shi Mei thinks of her past, of her parents and relatives, of computer, TV, and movie theaters, of friends and girlfriends who cried and laughed together, and talked behind their backs together.

I couldn't sleep at all.

Shi Mei didn't expect that her daughter's fear of marriage would cause such a chain reaction, and the longing that had been buried for several years returned.

Since she couldn't sleep anyway, Shi Mei simply found a piece of spiritual jade and held it in her hand to meditate for luck.

Use only spiritual power to nourish the eyes over and over again, and strive to open the eyes of the sky as soon as possible, so that you can see the dragon's breath, the earth's breath, and the human spirit.

At exactly the right time, Shimei received her merits.

Shi Mei is now able to sense the movements of the entire Rong Mansion.

Mrs. Zhang has already woken up.Errands are being assigned in the chamber.

Shi Mei also hurriedly got up to tidy up, and Mrs. Yang went to the house early in the morning to comb Jia Min's hair.

The two Quanfu old ladies from the back street gave Jia Min a wry face.

Shi Mei has just finished washing here.

The Yang family of Ningfu and the wives of Jia Daixiu and Jia Dairu in the back street arrived.

Shi Mei personally entertained the two old wives and Mrs. Yang for noodle tea.Mrs. Yang has also arrived outside.

Mrs. Shimei and Mrs. Zhang were busy welcoming and serving tea.

After tea for a while.

Shi Mei, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang, the fifth wife and the sixth wife came to Wei Ruixuan together.

Weirui Xuan is the east courtyard of Rongqing Hall, which is just across the Moon Gate from Rongqing Hall.

Jia Min was talking here accompanied by the twelve pretty little sisters from yesterday. Hearing that the girl reported that it was the old lady and grandma who came, she hurriedly stood up to greet her.

Jia Min bowed to Shi Mei, met his sister-in-law, and then bowed to Quan Fu's wife, Mrs. Yang.Say hello to the two blessed gods.

Jia Min's big girl Jasmine Haitang has prepared hot water.

Mrs. Jia Daixiu and Mrs. Jia Dairu dipped a thin silk thread in water and twisted Jia Min's face.Hold the hair on the forehead with a hairpin.

Jia Min's skin is fair, and the fine fluff has been removed from his face, and his face is rosy in white and pink in red.

Mrs. Yang couldn't help but praise: "The fourth girl's appearance is really the crown of Jinghua, what a pity..."

Mrs. Zhang winked, and immediately picked up the ivory comb with the auspicious cloud pattern on the green lotus tray, and handed it to Mrs. Yang: "Madam, please!"

Consciously slipping her tongue, Yang took over the comb and dipped it in osmanthus oil to comb Jia Min's hair.

Once combed to the hair, the husband and wife love each other to the end...

Two comb comb until old age, the descendants will continue to be rich and honored.

Comb three combs to the end, fly with each other from generation to generation.

Carefully tied hair and put on clothes again, busy for half an hour.

The kitchen sent sweet soup with lotus seeds, longan and peanuts.

Shi Mei fed Jia Min with her own hands: "May my son be sweet and sweet."

The three Quan Fu wives have to accompany Jia Min, and their task is not completed until they get on the bridal sedan chair.

Shi Mei gave red seals to the three Quanfu wives, and bowed to thank them.

He comforted Jia Min again: "Mother will come to see you later."

Only then did he bring Yang and Zhang back to Rongqing Hall.

The Lin family agreed that they would come to welcome their relatives at Yinzheng in the afternoon.

The wine show in Rongfu started from Sishi.It is necessary to set up running water seats all day long.

The imperial orders of the four kings and eight princes all come to congratulate, Shi Mei, as the mistress of the Rong Mansion, is destined to be a busy day today.

At the beginning of the morning, the little daughter-in-law and big girl who helped out in the back street came into the mansion.

These big girls and young daughter-in-laws of the clan are mainly responsible for taking care of tea and snacks for the clan relatives, arranging seating and other things.

Shimei, the Yang family and the Zhang family are mainly responsible for receiving Xungui and his in-laws.

Specifically, Shi Mei was in charge of entertaining the orders of the four princes' mansions.

The Yang family and the Zhang family are responsible for receiving the orders and relatives of the Eighth Duke's Mansion.

Of course, there are also overlaps in the middle, which can only be flexibly deployed at that time.

Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, Yuanchun Jia Cong, was in charge of entertaining the daughters of the four princes and eight princes who came to visit relatives under the age of ten.

The banquet is placed in the garden inside the west corner gate.

There is a lotus pond in the garden. For the sake of safety, there are three steps, one post and five steps and one post around the lotus pond. Two guards are arranged at each place to prevent one person from walking away for something, and accidents occur.

In addition to these clear posts, there are also patrol posts to ensure nothing goes wrong.

The male guests and young masters over ten years old will be received by Jia Amnesty and Jia Jing, and they will sit in Ningfu.

The Lin family's team to pick up the relatives arrived at Rong Mansion in the early hours of Yinchu.

Lin Ruhai rode a tall horse, and the wedding companions were all Lin Ruhai's classmates and colleagues.

The reminder poems set by Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng.

Lin Ruhai didn't need anyone's help, so he answered casually.

Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and Jia Jing who blocked the door were not opponents at all.

All three poems were lost, and only obediently opened the door.

Fortunately, Rong Mansion has many thresholds.

After entering the gate, there is also the Zhongmen Yimen, and then entering the Rongxi Hall and waiting.

The bride is in Rongqing Hall.

Lin Ruhai has written [-] makeup reminder poems here, and it finally reached the third quarter of Yin time.

On Jia Min's side, Jia Amnesty carried her to the Rongxi Hall.

Shi Meigao sat in the middle hall.

Lin Ruhai had been waiting for a long time at this time, stepped forward to hold Jia Min's hand, and knelt down in front of Shi Mei together.

Shi Mei personally helped the two to stand up, took Jia Min's hand and said: "My son has been taught by the court since he was a child, and he is knowledgeable and sensible, so we must bear in mind the way of life.

If you belong to the Lin family today, you must respect your mother-in-law, care for your husband and teach your children, and be friendly to your neighbors. "

Then, Shi Mei handed Jia Min's hand to Lin Ruhai: "Min'er is my only daughter, she almost grew up holding her in the palm of her hand.

Today I hand over my precious daughter to you. My son-in-law is generous and generous. Min'er may have shortcomings. I hope you can tolerate her and love her.

I hope you will respect and love each other, unite forever, stay together forever, and grow old forever! "

Jia Min was sobbing so hard that her makeup almost faded.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yang had to temporarily touch up her makeup.

Here Lin Ruhai bowed and bowed: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, the son-in-law will live up to his father-in-law's love and mother-in-law's entrustment.

The son-in-law swears that he will accompany Min'er hand in hand for the rest of his life and never give up! "

Lin Ruhai is tall and tall, with fair skin and a bright red brocade robe, which makes him look like a heavenly being.

His voice is clear and mellow, and he talks freely.

The sisters-in-law who were hiding behind the screen and peeping at her brother-in-law suddenly became drunk as if they had been drunk for a thousand years.

The bridegroom officer is so handsome, his voice is so nice, and he speaks so well.

Then, everyone squeezed around, fighting for the slightest gap.

Suddenly, the sky brightened.

The brother-in-law of the dragon and phoenix is ​​in front of her eyes.

But the girls were crowded together, and the pulleys under the improved screen rolled away, and the door opened wide.

The girls were so frightened that they all froze.

Then Mrs. Zhang led someone to tap on the forehead of one of them, and the girls just woke up like a dream, and went back.

At this time, Jia Min's makeup was finished, and it was just in time for Yin Zhengji.

Lin Ruhai is 1.7 meters tall and has a figure like a bamboo pole. Jia Min, who is one meter tall, is light and easy to carry.

Shi Mei took Jia Min's hand and walked to the door, tears suddenly filled the air.

But he didn't dare to reveal it, for fear that Jia Min would cry again and miss the auspicious time.

Shi Mei couldn't bear to give up, her throat was choked with pain, and she told Jia Min: "Okay, let's live..."

The drum music for welcoming the bride was originally played like a hundred birds facing the phoenix, but here the bride came out of the Rongxi Hall, and the band played the dragon and the phoenix.

Shi Mei couldn't go to Lin's house with her, and the two couples, Jia She Zhang's family and Jia Jing Yang's family, were the ones to marry.

The boy who pressed the sedan chair was Jia Cong Yuanchun, and the ones holding the sedan chair were Jia Zhu and Jia Lian.

As long as the person carrying the sedan chair is a little unsteady, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian will give them red envelopes and ask them to be more stable.

The 36 trumpeters opened the way, and the groom official Lin Ruhai was behind.

Behind the bridegroom officer is Lin Ruhai's best man, 36 Hanlin Scholars, who was invited to welcome the bride.

Behind the bridal sedan chairs are Zhang's and Yang's high-grade sedan chairs, and Jia Amnesty and Jia Jing are guarding the sedan chairs.

Behind the two high-grade sedan chairs is Jia Min's dowry, 120 eight lifts.

Ten miles of red makeup is not enough to describe the richness of Jia Min's dowry.

Behind the dowry is the drum band for Rongfu to send off relatives.

Finally, there are Luzhike from Rongfu and Luzhike from Linfu.

They are responsible for throwing flower petals and sweets to passers-by to make everyone happy.

There are more and more people chasing sweets and snacks behind the sedan chair, and some children chase directly from Rongning Street to Hanlin Street, which is two streets away.

Some members of the Jia clan also went to the Lin family to ask for favors, and they left with Lu Zhike.

The female relatives of the four princes and eight princes all left with the bride when they went out.

Shi Mei thought that at such a time, accidents are most likely to happen. In addition, the young master Jia Zhu, Jia Lian and Jia Cong Yuanchun are not at home, so she is afraid that something will happen to the little guests.

Therefore, all the extra manpower from the Rong Mansion was sent to the Huayuanzi inside the Xijiao Gate, so as to ensure that there was no situation at all.

Shi Mei stood at the hanging flower gate to see off the guests, the six senses enveloped the garden, until all the female relatives who attended the banquet left, Shi Mei was relieved.

With this breath of relief, I feel tired and panicked.

At such a time, everyone except distant relatives had to say goodbye.

This is custom.

All the people in the back street of the Jia family came to say goodbye except for those who helped.

Shi Mei then told Nanny Lai: "Farewell to Jia Ban's daughter-in-law, take home a bowl of hard dishes that are not on the table today, and add more dishes in the evening.

The green vegetables on the table are thrown away, meat dishes and rice, let the children of the family share a share, and take it voluntarily, just those who dislike it. "

In some wealthy households, they poured out all the food they could not finish eating, and fed it to pigs and dogs.

Shi Mei felt that it would hurt the harmony of the meat dishes and rice, so she simply divided them.

Nanny Lai was busy giving orders.

Shi Mei then ordered Hu Po Shan Shan: "Tell Dai Liang, there are 120 servants in the mansion, and there are two monthly packages for May. After all the places are cleaned up, they will be distributed by name in the meeting hall."

Shi Mei thought the servants would dislike her, but Nanny Lai came back and reported that the servants had snatched up all the vegetables.

Nanny Lai said: "It is said that today's dishes are rich in oil, and the green vegetables can be used to cook soup and rice."

Shi Mei nodded: "Just like it."

Shi Mei just didn't want to waste it, the servants couldn't be more pleased.

The guests left by the Rong Mansion were all clansmen and relatives of Jinling.

There are people from the twelve rooms in Jinling.Jiaban Jiashu is dispatched by the whole family.

Jia Mei's daughter-in-law brought two men and two women.

Before Jia Mei's son went to the mansion to study with him, he could have brought two more book boys.

Shi Mei let the accompanying readers choose by themselves.

The other children brought uncles, brothers and cousins ​​to be book boys.

Jia Gui didn't bring it.

The reason is that Jia Mei's daughter-in-law felt that the younger son would be a book boy for the older son, fearing that it would affect the relationship between the brothers.

After all, Jia Mei is an official right now.Afraid that the younger son will complain.

As a result, Jia Mei received a letter and scolded her daughter-in-law, saying that her son was not a candidate for the imperial examination, and that she sent her son to Beijing to gain knowledge, and scolded her daughter-in-law for her long hair and lack of knowledge.

Jia Mei's daughter-in-law regretted it, and brought her youngest son and Jia Gong, the eldest son of Jia Mei's second brother, to be schoolboys.

Jia Mei's daughter-in-law arrived in Kyoto on May [-]th, and she has been embarrassed to mention this to Shi Mei.

Only now did Jia Min dare to bring his children to see him when he got married.

Jia Mei's daughter-in-law is still a bit wise, knowing that it was the day when Jia Min got married, Shi Mei would definitely feel uncomfortable, so she didn't mention the book boy.

He just asked the children to kowtow to see Shi Mei, and left.

There were many visitors from Jinling, and a few of them lived in the homes of close relatives, while the rest of the clan were arranged in Lixiangyuan.

That night, Shi Mei did not attend the dinner for the Jinling people, and only let a few nieces and daughter-in-laws in the back street receive them.

Shi Mei has been meditating to calm her mind.

Although Shi Mei has never experienced the pain of giving birth to Jia Min.

After nearly four years of getting along, Shi Mei has already developed a mother-daughter relationship with Jia Min.

Although Shi Mei was not very sad, she felt lost.

I feel that I have lost something important, and I am very uncomfortable.

At the moment of Haishi, Jia Amnesty, Jia Jing and Jia She, who sent off their relatives, and Jia Zhu, Jia Lian and Jia Cong Yuanchun returned to Rongfu.

The four adults are very satisfied with the attitude of the Lin family.

This time, Du Jijiu and his wife were still accompanying the guests.

Lin Ruhai made a toast at Jia Amnesty and Jia Jing's banquet.

Mother Lin and her sister-in-law also gave a toast to Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yang to express their gratitude.

All in all, Mother Lin didn't make any fuss about getting married this time.

Not only that, Lin's mother is very enthusiastic about the four grandchildren of Rongfu.

Brothers and sisters Jia Zhu and Jia Lian all won a big red seal, and eight pairs of champions.

In addition to the number one scholar Kaizi, Yuanchun also got a box of handicrafts from Jiangnan.

A set of tea sets dug from bamboo roots, and a set of four treasures of the study carved from purple bamboo roots.

Yuan Chun loves her very much.

Jia Cong likes it very much.

It's a pity that Lin's mother thought that only little girls would like this, so she didn't prepare it for Jia Cong.

Jia Cong pouted all the way.

Yuan Chun also said: "Cong'er cried a lot before leaving, how embarrassing."

There was some embarrassment on Zhang's face.

Seeing that Jia Cong was looking pitiful when he was about to cry, Shi Mei hugged Jia Cong into her arms and asked carefully, "Why is Cong'er crying?

Boys are not like this, so be strong.Is it for bamboo root carving?

or something else?

If it’s for root carving, it doesn’t matter, our family has a shop in Jinling, let’s get someone to deliver the goods next time, and bring a whole set of toys for each of you brothers, okay? "

Jia Cong pouted: "Hmph, I'm not crying for root carvings."

Shi Mei was surprised: "Why is that?"

Jia Cong said: "The grandson thinks that Grandma Lin is not good, so I want my aunt to go home with us.

The mother stopped the grandson from calling his aunt, and the grandson cried in anxiety. "

Shi Mei was very surprised when she heard the words, and wanted to know what kind of image Jia Cong's eyes saw Lin's mother.

Perhaps, Jia Cong's children's eyes are different from what adults see, because he asked: "What's wrong with Grandma Lin?"

Jia Cong said: "The four of us went together, but the gifts she prepared were different. Didn't this deliberately make me compete with my sister and provoke my relationship with my sister? That's why my grandson doesn't like her anymore."

As soon as this remark came out, no one heard it in Rongqing hall.

Shi Mei didn't know how to answer correctly.

It is not enough to say that Mother Lin played with two peaches and killed three scholars.

At least not well thought out.

It would be good to give all of them Jin Zizi.

This will give the two golden boys and girls of Yuanchun Jia Cong a sense of accomplishment.

The hard work is recognized by everyone.

I had to give another toy, but I left out the smallest one.Although Jia Cong is smart, he still doesn't understand many things.

Shi Mei at home treats the four of them exactly the same.

After all, she was called Grandma Lin, thinking she was the same as the grandmother at home.

The result was unfair.

Children will naturally be wronged.

Fortunately, Jia Cong cried because Jia Min couldn't go home.

Otherwise, spread the word, and say that the Jia family will not teach children.

But Shi Mei couldn't let Jia Cong have a bad impression on Lin's mother from then on, and said with a smile: "Grandma Lin probably is so busy that she forgot that our Cong'er is only four years old.

In fact, this is also because our Cong'er is too tall. I guess Grandma Lin misunderstood and thought that your sister Yuan'er was the youngest one.

Does grandma love you the most on weekdays, so she hugs you more?

Also, since my elder sister is a girl, most people will love girls more, because it is very hard for girls to grow up, so when they are young, everyone will love them more.

Cong'er think about it, is it the same in our family?

Everyone loves you and Sister Yuanchun more, and you feel less about your eldest brother Zhu Er and second brother Lian?

It's not that I don't like them, it's because they have grown up and have to learn to take care of themselves and take care of themselves.

In the future, like your father's second uncle, you can become an official through the imperial examination, benefit the family, and make contributions to the court. "

At this time, Yuan Chun suddenly remembered a passage from his disciple Guili:

Brother Daoyou, brother Daogong.

Brothers are harmonious, filial piety is in the middle.

Wealth is light, how can we complain.

In short, it means respecting brothers and friends, ignoring money and emphasizing friendship!

Although she is not a man, she is a sister.It shouldn't be for a set of bamboo root carvings, and my younger brother should not be born.

Yuan Chun suddenly smiled, and put his hand on Jia Cong's face in embarrassment: "Oh, I'm teasing you, I've thought about it a long time ago, I like that tea set, so I'll give it to Cong'er with the Four Treasures of the Study, okay?"

As soon as these words came out, Shimei from Zhang's family and Yang's family all looked at Yuan Chun, feeling in her heart, Wang's family is really a blessed person, such a vicious and stupid person gave birth to such a clever and witty daughter.

Mrs. Zhang was a little worried, and this kid Jia Cong showed up.

In the end, Jia Cong looked up arrogantly: "No, this is your gift. I am a good brother, so I don't want to snatch it."

Wrapping around Shi Mei's neck again, he said with a grin: "Grandmother, you have to keep your word, let them buy root carvings, and also, brothers and sisters all have a share?"

Shi Mei hurriedly expressed her opinion: "Naturally, your brothers, sisters and fourth brothers are all grandma's precious golden grandchildren, so grandma naturally likes them all."

Jia Cong looked up to see Yang, and said with a smile: "There is also Rong'er, the little nephew of the Dongfu. He is also a full-year-old, and he should have toys. The grandson also wants me to give Rong'er the little duck and swallow. Grandma, are you okay?"

Shi Mei didn't speak, but Yang smiled, and stretched out her hand to touch Jia Cong's face: "You're such a sweet little guy, he's a good boy with a conscience!"

Yang's affection for Jia Cong is no different from that of his son.

Ever since Jia Cong was still in her mother's womb, she met Yang almost every day.

Yang knew the baby's first fetal movement, just watched Jia Cong go from being silent to punching and kicking, to crying loudly after birth.

Yang is worried.

The only shortcoming is that it didn't come out of her stomach.
