The Happy Man in the Red Chamber

Because the old emperor was good at the throne, in order to better strengthen the rule of the new emperor, the old emperor deliberately added Enke in his own name. On the one hand, it was to select talents, and on the other hand, it also showed the connection between the two generations of emperors.

Jia Zhu was delayed once because of her marriage, and Enke was just able to attend this time.The newly married daughter-in-law is a woman with a sharp personality.Jia Mu, who is very clever in speaking and doing things, and can flatter at the same time, is very happy.Although Mrs. Wang cares a lot about her status as a concubine, it is better than others.Thinking of those who avoided getting married made her feel angry.You know, her daughter had already entered the Five Prince's Mansion as a female official before.Now that the fifth prince has become the emperor, all the elders from Qiandi and the past have been promoted.I got the news a few days ago, if there is no mistake, when the old Shangshu retires, it will be the time when Yuan Chun takes over.As long as you can find an opportunity to be favored by the emperor at the right time, you will definitely have a good fortune in the future.She had always believed that Yuan Chun would be invaluable.

Originally, Jia Lian's marriage was scheduled for the beginning of winter, but because of some melons and fruits, it could only be postponed until the beginning of spring.Lin Ruhai still occupies the position of Yanzheng, but because of the Bai family's boat and the magical wharf of Qixiufang, Jia Min decided to bring her daughter to Jia Lian's wedding.

Mother Jia was very happy to hear that Jia Min was coming.Although she was not very enthusiastic about this girl, it was because of Lin Ruhai's position that she had been trusting her all these years, and she had some affection for her.It's just because of Daiyu's affairs, it's more or less dirty.However, she believed that neither of them would mind these things, after all, it was the people below who made it up.

Jia Min took Daiyu to the car from the pier, and instead of visiting Jia Mu on the first day, she tidied up at home.The Lin family's mansion in the capital city had sent people to take a rest a few years ago, but after all, it still needs to be tidied up in order to live comfortably during the dragon spring season.

After all this is done, it's already Girl's Day.Jia Min took Daiyu to meet An Lan first, and looked at Jia Lian's wedding room.

At this time, Daiyu was able to run around under the care of the people below.Yingchun was much older than her, so it would be interesting to bring someone along with her.An Lan took Jia Min to look around. Jia Lian's new house was a long and narrow house with five entrances.There are both the front house and the backyard, and the garden is connected to the garden shared by the three families through the moon gate.The door locks are unlocked during the day and locked at night.

"It's far from where you and brother are. This new wife has to be a sedan chair to set the rules." Jia Min set the rules in front of Mrs. Lin for a long time.Was it tortured before? Looking at the Rongxi Hall separated by two courtyards, I was a little worried.

"I'm not her serious mother-in-law. How can I need her to behave by the rules every day? After doing this, I just want their young couple to live by themselves. I don't have a mother-in-law here. Why bother to make my daughter-in-law feel uncomfortable when I live comfortably Go?" An Lan pointed at the furniture in the room with a smile: "There are not many ebony woods suitable for carving at the moment, only enough for the main house. In a few days, it will be the day when the bed will be laid, and the woman's family will come. You can then I'm here to help!"

Looking at the target of Kou Dan's red finger, Yishuier is a good master and a good handicraft.Jia Min was very satisfied with this.In any case, Jia Lian is the only son of her brother of the same blood.The ebony furniture inlaid with gemstones and covered with gold and silver corners that can be produced at present is much better than that of sour branches.It can be seen that the other party has also used their thoughts.She nodded: "I'm his aunt, why don't I help? It's just that when I was talking about Zhu'er, I was so busy that I couldn't come here. In the end, it's also a shortcoming. Lian'er is not easy to fool!"

She was happy watching, thinking about how to get some good things for her nephew to add to it.An Lan looked at her and just pursed her lips in silence.The newly arrived Liu Li came over wearing a black and red jacket with pink plum blossom embroidered branches, and bowed to salute: "Master, the old lady over there heard that my aunt is coming, so someone came to invite her!"

Hearing this, An Lan narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I'm afraid the old lady is in a hurry. I haven't seen her in these years. After all, she can't be kept waiting for long."

Upon hearing this, Jia Min nodded.The first time I came here early, I just didn't want to keep waiting there.Before entering Beijing, she talked with Lin Ruhai about the treatment of the two governments.Filial piety has always been the biggest burden on the head. If it is not handled well, it will affect both Lin Ruhai's future career and Lin Daiyu's marriage.

No matter how the clan handles it, the first thing to bear the brunt is the relationship between birth and nourishment.Jia Min was taken by the old lady when she was less than three years old.Although it is said that the maids and mother-in-law are gathered around, the reputation of nurturing grace cannot be escaped.Therefore, no matter how the two sides are treated the same way.

Because it was a formal visit, Jia Min left the mansion here, got in the car and detoured to the other side.Those who reported to the door early, Jia's mansion also arranged people early.What made Jia Min different was that An Lan opened the front door to welcome her in.No matter what, she is a woman with a third-rank mandate.But right now, only a side door was opened.She frowned slightly, and the woman who came to greet her looked at her and leaned over with a smile: "Uncle Lin didn't come, the old lady said it was just a girl who went home to live a happy life."

Hearing what the mother-in-law said, Jia Min just nodded.After entering the second gate and changing into a sedan chair, the journey went smoothly.The servant girl's behavior is very stable, and it is also adequate in terms of etiquette.

I haven't seen each other for many years. This Jia's mansion was built after the Rongguo mansion.Apart from the name and some institutional stuff, there are few other differences.In the end, Jia Min, who had been away from home for many years, was nostalgic.In such a mansion, she spent her childhood and the season of Huaichun as a girl.

Jia Mu sat on the Arhat step in the main room, and Mrs. Wang waited with Tanchun.Baoyu clamored to go to the temple to offer incense in the morning, and was escorted to Xiangshan Temple early.It is estimated that he will not be back until noon.As for Jia Zhu's daughter-in-law, in order to show her kindness to Nan'an Wang's family after entering the gate, Mrs. Wang gave her part of the housekeeper's work, which was all trivial kitchen sundries.After all, it is also a training for the new daughter-in-law, but it has been a year or two since the marriage and there is no movement in the stomach.

The mother and daughter haven't seen each other for many years, although there is some estrangement, seeing Jia Mu is different from the old face in memory.Jia Min was still weeping, she took Daiyu to Mother Jia and said, "Daiyu, this is my grandmother!"

"I've seen my grandmother!" Looking at the strange people around her, and no one she knew well, Daiyu seemed very obedient following her.She uttered sweetly, causing Jia's mother to embrace her and yelled heartily.

The two wept with joy, and after wiping away their tears, they had a tea break, and the master and slave sat down to start talking.

"I heard that there was nothing wrong with the birth of Daiyu?" Mother Jia sat on the Arhat Step, reaching out to touch Jia Min's hand on a low stool beside her.Very concerned.

"It's okay, but this child seems to be a little anxious. It should be the day of Huachao Festival. But who knows that she chose the day by herself. I was thinking, but I was a little bit busy in the end when I was ready. "Jia Min didn't mention the filthiness, but the old lady's reminder made half of her kindness originally born of emotion go away.

"The people below are just saying that it's dangerous. After all, your sister-in-law is there." Jiamu nodded: "I almost fainted when I heard it. Fortunately, you are fine! Sigh..."

She sighed: "There have been some things in the family these years. Although your elder brother is a bastard, it is a good thing. It's just that his wife was a bad one. She has a weird personality. I was thinking about it, she If it's over, you guys won't deal with it very much. Your character is spoiled by the family. I didn't think about asking her to help you. But there is a big thank you? After all, you are not the first daughter-in-law!"

"It's just that my personality is a little more straightforward, and she looks pretty." Jia Min pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the words: "I haven't been here these years, and I have to thank my second sister-in-law for going far. I don't say anything else, just by your side That’s why I, a girl who is married far away, can rest assured, right?” Jia Min glanced excitedly at Mrs. Wang, who was making a wooden figure, and smiled and patted Jia Mu’s arm to express her peace of mind.

"I think you're still a little weaker. Is it because your body hasn't recuperated yet? I got ginseng nourishing pills from the imperial hospital before. When you leave, take some with you. It's just a ten-day pill. Just take care of it in front of me!" Mother Jia nodded, and ordered the girl beside her to bring this thing to Jia Min later.

"How do I need that?" How did Jia Min not find the difference in Mrs. Wang, no matter what it is.But there are two, one is that there is a problem with the medicine and the other is that the gold is very expensive.Thinking about the current situation of the second brother, I am afraid that the latter is more likely.

She put her arms around Daiyu's small shoulders: "Since this child was born, my body has improved a lot. It's just that when my mother-in-law went there in the early years, a child happened to be lost. I didn't have time to take care of it. Now this child is down. Only then did I have a chance. Otherwise, how can I drive away after a long journey?" She joked in a gentle and virtuous manner, and was about to tell Jia's mother about Jia Lian's wedding room when she heard voices from outside.This person has not been seen, in the end it is the voice.

Crisp and soft, with a hint of Wu Nong's soft language.It seemed that he was talking to the woman on the side, and the laughter was very clear.It should be a half-grown girl or something.

I just watched the mother-in-law lift the curtain, a goose yellow skirt embroidered with spring butterflies and flowers on the skirt.Like a lotus flower swaying, passing by lightly.The bottom of the skirt is engraved with ingots Ruyi with yellow thumb-sized jade fragments to make pendant angles.Gold beads are hung on both sides, and there is a soft groaning sound when walking.

The man walked in. It was a graceful girl.She is not tall, but her waist is slender and enchanting.Looking up, I saw a daughter-in-law combing a woman's hair.The smoky green gown with pouch sleeves enveloped the outside of the skirt.Inside appears to be a belt woven from turquoise ribbons.Pisces with a piece of jasper hanging on it.A silver bead the size of a grain of rice hangs from the tassel of the belt.There was a rustling sound.

The little woman's face is like that of a melon seed, and the broad forehead above the eyebrows is decorated with a thin green ribbon and a pure white safety buckle.Her hair is neatly tied into a phoenix bun, which is a popular hairstyle in Beijing recently.It is made with several single Luo and some weaving.Without a familiar girl or woman, it is obviously impossible to enjoy it.

Her makeup is simple, and she just walks around with a Panzhi Dian Babao wing.On the neck covered by the green cross-collar, is a gold silk coiled wreath with branch patterns.A pigeon's blood red gemstone was hanging down, lighting up the refreshing and plainness of this body.

"I'm really sorry!" The woman bowed her luggage when she entered the room, her voice was soft and pleasant, and she said softly, "Although I know that there are distinguished guests coming today, I am sorry to be late. Originally not Ying came late and waited for guests at the Hanging Flower Gate. It's just that the chef has an order, and I was worried that those people would not serve well, so I went there myself."

After saying this, she looked at Jia Min, squinted her eyes, nodded and smiled, and approached Jia's mother: "Old lady, help me and beg my mother-in-law, don't blame me for not letting me serve meals. She has a bad stomach. And I can’t help but like that big fish and big meat. This year, the rich imperial doctor approved it!"

"You are the raft for me, showing that you are a virtuous person!" Mrs. Wang muttered.It sounds weird, but Jia Min, who had been at loggerheads with her for many years, could tell that she was actually satisfied.

"She didn't say anything wrong? Besides, the fame is still revealed. If she doesn't say it, who knows?" Jia Mu cheerfully took the girl's hand and introduced it to Jia Min: "This is Zhuer's name." The child's daughter-in-law came in a few years ago. I think she is young, so she decides to let them have a child later. Worse, I'm afraid it will be bad for the health. Moreover, it is not good for the child."

Mother Jia stopped Jia Min from asking about his son.The woman squinted her eyes and bowed to salute with a smile.Jia Min looked at it, followed by pursing her lips and smiling, and took off a spring-colored bracelet from her wrist, pulled the woman's wrist and put it on her: "Take it and play with it! I won't open it for you here. After a while, someone will send it to your room, and if you like it, you can use it. If you don’t like it, you can use it for something else or throw it into pieces.”

"Thank you, Auntie!" The woman didn't refuse, but just smiled and stood between Mrs. Wang and Jiamu.

Mother Jia saw her coming, and asked about the kitchen.The woman reported one by one crisply, and the combination of meat and vegetables is very good.Tete has a few vegetarian dishes that are rarely eaten in this season.

After lunch at Jia's mother, Jia Min told her about Jia Lian's wedding preparations.Jia Mu just sighed: "Your big brother is also consummated!"

After leaving Jia's mansion, Jia Min returned to Lin's mansion.While removing the hairpin ring on his head, he was thinking about the things on both sides.She couldn't sleep, so she had to get up and write a letter to Lin Ruhai.Just ordered people to take the waterway to Qixiufang Wharf to get the reply back quickly.

In the morning, when Daiyu was feeding Qiqi, the servants delivered a letter from Lin Ruhai.Seeing what her husband said don't care about it and just do her duty as an aunt, Jia Min felt a little relieved.

Seeing that the sunny day was approaching, An Lan also started to get busy.First, she worshiped the gods of heaven and earth as the mistress according to the custom, and offered incense.In the next three days, arrange for the woman to come and press the bed.

The so-called pressing the bed is not as simple as simply putting the bed in.In fact, craftsmen are required to assemble the six-entry bed that has not been assembled in the master bedroom one by one.Because of the newlyweds in the first month, the bed body is all red and gold inlaid.After the bride's home is over, the bed will be replaced with another set.

After all, Jia Lian ran around to deliver posts to her door. After all, it was the first major event in her life.Zhi Gengxi posts are sent over, firstly to get replies and secondly to get closer to relatives, sisters-in-law and friends.There are more scenes of drinking wine, even the elders will stay for a cup of tea.

When he got home and entered the Lixiang Courtyard, he first went to the toilet before tidying himself up and entering the main room.It was almost noon at this time, Jia Amnesty did not go out, but sat in the main hall with An Lan, as if waiting for him to have dinner together.

"Let's eat here today! Your mother has prepared something, which is rarely delivered during the season. If there are no accidents, this is the only time in your life!" Jia She sighed, and Jia Lian immediately understood.He originally thought that the aunt or aunt next door had to prepare it for him.After all, the other party seems to be very talkative, but he is not necessarily willing to travel.

He bowed gratefully, and An Lan smiled and beckoned people to set the dinner table: "Your mother should have prepared this for you." Speaking of which, she looked at Jia Lian: "Don't think I am kind, I just feel pity for my apprentice Son, if you treat her badly in the future, remember...you ate me!"

"Son, remember!" Jia Lian bowed his head in response, the contact with Zhang Yunxi along the way made him feel grateful to his father for choosing a good wife for him.Think of Uncle Get that and that of Big Brother Zhu.Although Yunxi has a little temper, he is in love with him after all, and...he is in harmony with him in every aspect.

In the bitter spring of the north, in fact, only some families with some financial resources can prepare for the succession of five sons.In this chaotic dynasty, many people came from mud legs and relying on martial arts.All kinds of rules were thrown there without knowing it.The ones that can be picked up or are still in use are either the traditional ones that have been passed down for hundreds of years or those emerging families that like to be sophisticated.

Looking at the buns, cockles, elbows, chestnuts, and lotus seeds that Dudu had prepared for him, Jia Lian was very emotional for a while.Although the woman said what she said, he still showed her love.At least, the other party is still thinking about what he needs to prepare before his marriage.If it were his father, he wouldn't think about these things.

After lunch, An Lan sat in the gazebo in the courtyard and watched the new shoots.Eyeliner is already a new year.At this time, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the countdown to Mrs. Xing's fate also began.It just surprises her that the new emperor has not let Jia Yuanchun climb into his bed so far.Obviously, Jia Amnesty's new image and Jia Lian impressed the Fifth Prince so much that he became wary of the Jia family.But that's a good thing, isn't it?

The next day, Jia Lian took people to Zhang's house with a pair of geese that had been prepared earlier and other festive things.In front of the door, Zhang Yunxi's older brothers threatened him a lot before presenting him with a gift.The Zhang family opened the door and welcomed the guests who came to watch the ceremony.This is going to be a makeup session, and this part will be held twice.The Zhang family is old, and many etiquettes were informed to Jia Amnesty by making a list in advance.You know, the Jia family doesn't have such messy things.Just look at An Lan's wedding, but it just went through a rough process.

As the day is approaching, Zhang Yunxi's dowry is really eye-catching. 120 carried the dowry, not only the box was twice as big as others.Even the dowry land tiles were enough for her dowry to close An Lan's back then.Not to mention, ten of them were specially made by An Lan, the mother-in-law.

On the night when the makeup was put on, these dowries entered Jia Lian's yard in boxes one by one with the support of the bride.Put it in the main courtyard, waiting for the next day's sun.

The best man who installs the bed is a child of the younger generation in the clan, where both parents and grandparents live.Belonging to a rare Quanfu child, the little boy slept through the night and asked how he felt the next day.Seeing that An Lan was not afraid, she scratched her hair vigorously:

"I don't feel anything, just a little hot!"

No, that's a fully enclosed box bed.Close the door layer by layer, that is a fully enclosed environment.It's hard for this child to sleep peacefully!
