[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

Being called up early in the morning, Linlin took two mouthfuls of snacks, but couldn't even take a sip of water.

First, I was dragged to take a bath. It is said that many kinds of spices were added to the bath water. What Tian Niu inquired was that this bucket of bath water has been boiled since last night and has been boiled until just now. The color is a transparent light yellow and smells strong. Fragrant.

After the maid adjusted the hot water, she helped Linlin to take a bath. After washing for an hour, she dried her hair and took out the bathtub.Someone was holding a bright red singlet.

After putting on this unlined garment, the maid outside knelt down on the ground and waited on her. She wore an 11-layer gown, and someone next to her praised it, and the people in the room bowed down once. It is said that each piece of clothing represents a different meaning, which is very There is a sense of ceremony, and the last layer is the big dress, which will not be put on until the makeup is done.Wearing eleven layers of clothes makes it difficult to move, and you have to be supported by someone to walk. Linlin accepts it well, so wear thicker clothes to keep warm in this weather!

Then an incense ball was stuffed in his hand, and several hand warming stoves were placed under his feet, and he sat in the main hall.The six old nuns came up and silently invited Ann, and then began to put on makeup for Linlin.

The Lin family's house was too small, and many people could not enter the house. Most of them waited in the yard for a call. The red lights in the yard were full of people coming and going, but they were all silent.

After the whole make-up was done, it was dawn, and I went to the bedroom to put on shoes and the last layer of dress, and was helped to sit in the main hall of my yard again.

While Linlin was being put on make-up, there were servants in the yard who spread the red carpet. I heard from Lin Hao not long ago that it cost more than 800 taels of silver just to buy these carpets...

After Linlin formally sat down, an eunuch outside shouted "Ascension to the seat", and music began to play outside the courtyard.

Lin Daiyu wore a bright red jacket and skirt, and tied two small tugs on her head with a red ribbon, hung a few golden bells, and ran over quickly.

Just as the eunuchs were about to stop her, Linlin said, "Let my sister come over, I have a few words to tell her."

Lin Daiyu ran over and threw herself into Linlin's arms, "Sister, they said you were leaving."

With this sentence, Linlin's eyes turned red, and the tears rolled around in her eyes a few times, almost falling out.

The maids and nuns on both sides were so nervous that they were afraid of crying and putting on makeup.

"They're right. From now on, my sister will be the Cui Menlin family." In the future, she will be the Cui Lin family when she dies, without even a name. She has a series of posthumous titles.

"Sister, can you not leave? Why did you leave? Xueyan said that their family couldn't afford food, so she came to our house from her own house, but our family can afford food, why did you still leave?"

"Silly girl, our girl's house will inevitably walk from her mother's house to her in-law's house. No matter if you can afford food or not, you have to walk there. Be good, listen to mother's advice from now on, eat more, and live happily ever after. Everything is fine. Remember what my sister said, you should eat and drink, and don't take everything to heart."

"But sister..."

"Girl, there is a married woman outside who wants to visit your mother, so let's go out with the slaves and have fun." A woman and a servant girl came to invite Lin Daiyu, but the little girl obviously didn't want to leave, so Linlin touched her forehead, "Go , go play, my sister is still sitting at home."

In the end, the little girl was coaxed away by others, and within a cup of tea, six old wives with gray hair came in outside.

These old wives are blessed people with both children and children. Today they are sitting here specially to talk with Linlin. When other officials' wives come to visit later, they will explain to Linlin that this is someone. The wife of an adult, what grade is she now, and what is she in charge of...

After these foreign wives came to visit four or five times, there was news from outside, "The guard of honor in the palace has left the palace gate and is coming here."

Linlin felt dizzy from hunger, but with so many people watching, she had to smile dignifiedly.

Not long after, the music outside the yard changed, and someone came to report again.

"Six old princes have come to our house, and our uncle has already welcomed them out."

"Princesses and princesses have already got off the sedan chair and are heading to the backyard."

"Fengyu has entered the door, just wait for the old princes to finish their tea and invite the empress to get on the sedan chair."

Just as he was talking, there were 12 young girls outside, all dressed up brilliantly, followed the servants of the Lin family into the door, and bowed down on the red felt one after another.

This is the noble girl sending off relatives. In folk terms, this is the bridesmaid.

Some of these princesses were princesses with different surnames, and some were children of the princess's family. After seeing the ceremony generously, they all stood behind Linlin.

Just a few groups of people had already filled the yard, and all the servants who got in the way were driven out, and after another two quarters of an hour, Jia Min accompanied the princesses, princesses and concubines to come in.

It was another rite of worship, and this time there were more than 100 wives from home and abroad, and those who could enter the courtyard were also close relatives of the royal family. Linlin just sat down, kneeling and standing, and eunuchs shouted beside her.

The princesses and princesses sat down and looked at Linlin. In order to avoid the embarrassment of not speaking, they kept praising Lin Daiyu, so Jia Min had no choice but to come out and thank her again and again.

Compared with the excitement of ordinary people, the royal wedding is much more solemn. Everyone has to think about it three times before speaking, so no one is teasing the bride at this time.

Everyone ate a cup of tea, and the people who came to greet the relatives just sat at the dining table for a while, held up their wine glasses and touched their lips, and the eunuch came out, "The old princes said, the time has come, all adults Let's all move."

The music outside Linlin's courtyard changed again, and the princesses stood up one after another, smiling to invite Linlin to get on the sedan chair, "Ma'am, let's go home."

Jia Min hurriedly turned her head to look at her daughter. Linlin sat on the seat, bent her upper body towards her mother, and said goodbye to her mother.When she straightened up, some of the noble ladies who were going to marry had already covered Linlin's head with hijabs, and stepped forward to help Linlin stand up instead of the palace maids.

Recalling the past ten years of mother-daughter relationship, Jia Min kept crying, but she didn’t dare to cry on this happy day, so she quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief. After all, they are mother and daughter, and she couldn’t get in when she wanted to ask to record again. Not only do I regret why I was angry a few days ago.

Everyone in the courtyard and the house started to move. Feng Yu stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and the noble ladies and young daughters-in-law avoided. Lin Hao hurried over, knelt down to Linlin and paid homage, then secretly wiped it. Out of the corner of her eyes, she fucked Fengyu with Linlin behind her back.

After Lin Hao withdrew, the noble ladies surrounded Feng Yu and came out to the gate. The eunuchs retreated and replaced them with guards.

Lin Hao bid farewell to his mother, and rode a bay red horse around Fengyu.The music changed another tune, and amidst the sound of firecrackers, he knelt down with everyone and left Lin's mansion and returned to the palace by another road.

The street was closed all the way, and there were no people watching the excitement on the road. What could be heard in the ears was the sound of guarding soldiers bowing and bowing. There was no lively atmosphere in the royal wedding.

The bright yellow phoenix landed at the gate of the palace. There had been a minister of the Ministry of Rites holding the imperial decree, and the two servants of the Ministry of Rites were waiting in front of the palace gate with a phoenix seal and a gold booklet.

The music stopped, Linlin sat in the sedan chair and listened to the imperial decree, the bride did not get out of the sedan chair, Lin Hao came forward to replace the elder sister to receive the imperial decree seal and gold booklet, after this series of canonizations, the gate of the palace opened, and the sedan chair went up the royal road , Those who sit in the sedan chair get off the sedan chair, those who ride on the horse get off the horse, and follow Fengyu into the imperial city in order.

Only the emperor can walk on the royal road, and the floor tiles are carved with five-clawed golden dragons, showing off their might with fierce spirits flying through the clouds and fog.As the central axis, the Royal Road runs through the entire imperial city. Whether it is the imperial city or the inner and outer cities, they are all symmetrical with this central axis as the boundary.In Linlin's life, she was only eligible to have her sedan chair carried into the palace from the royal road on the day of her wedding. When she died, the coffin could be carried out of the palace from the royal road. This was the honor of the Empress Yuan.

After eating a tasteless wedding banquet in the palace, and being caught drinking a few glasses of wine, Lin Hao, who was blushing from drinking, was helped out of the palace, and the people of the Lin family quickly continued to help him. After sitting firmly in the carriage, the good horse galloped forward and returned home in a short while. The house was still crowded with people, and a group of people who were having a wedding banquet were waiting for Lin Hao to entertain them. It was time for Lin Jialie to cook with oil.

Lin Hao put his head into the ice water to wake himself up, and asked the butler, "Is the wife still busy? I'm not here, the guests don't feel slighted, do they?"

"Come on, the second grandma of Rongguo Mansion is helping Zhang Luo, our male guests outside are watched by a few family relatives from our hometown, and the second master Lian of Rongguo Mansion is helping, we can handle it now, we have few family members, master It’s not that you are the only one here to set up a household here, all the guests know that you, as a brother, want to send your mother to the palace, no one makes a fuss about it. The uncle has been busy for a long time, let’s have something to eat first.”

Lin Hao nodded, took a bite and sighed.

"What's the matter with you? My servant heard that the journey went smoothly. Our aunt got the Phoenix Seal before entering the imperial city. After the news spread, many people said that our aunt was lucky."

Having the Phoenix Seal Gold Book is equivalent to having a job certificate. This is the empress who has made the final decision. In the future, even if she has no son, she will be a noble empress empress. Compared with the empress dowager today, it is said that the empress dowager was doing Although the empress has a golden book, she does not hold the phoenix seal, so that the concubine Zhen Gui at that time rides on her head.

"I just think that there are rules in the palace. You don't know, butler. Even when everyone dismounts, the prince, concubine, princess, and son-in-law must stand up according to the rules. They dare not make mistakes with each other. Even the royal family is like this... ...I'm a little worried about my sister."

"Don't worry, our aunt is not a person who has no rules. Besides, she is the mistress of the palace. You are thinking too much, sir. There are so many distinguished guests waiting outside. You should eat quickly and show your face outside after eating." Son, how many more glasses of wine do you want to offer to the elders?"

Lin Hao agreed, and hurriedly pulled a bowl of noodles into his stomach and followed the butler to the front.

After everyone left in the evening, the people of the Lin family quickly cleaned up the tables and chairs, dismantled the wedding shed, and cleaned everything.

Lin Hao asked the servant girl to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to follow him to Jia Min's yard. Seeing his mother sitting there extremely exhausted, he ordered people to pack it up.

Seeing his son coming, Jia Min pulled him to sit down, "My son is here, sit down and have a good rest, what are you doing here if you don't go back to sleep for a while, don't come to say hello, filial piety is not in it."

"Come and discuss with my mother how to write a letter to my father. By the way, tell my mother that my son will go to the Imperial College to study from tomorrow. I have already asked for half a year's leave, and I can't rest anymore."

"It's a good thing that you still want to study at the moment. Seeing that our house is full of people these days, the master asked me to keep an eye on you in the letter, lest you fall in love with this silly excitement. If the master Knowing that you don’t forget to make progress, I don’t know how happy I am, I really should write a letter to your father to inform you about today’s incident.” After finishing speaking, he folded his hands together, “Bless you, Amitabha, I never thought your sister would be so blessed. , I thought she could get the Phoenix Seal Gold Book only after she gave birth to the prince in a strong stomach. I never imagined that I got the things before I even entered the door."

Lin Hao thought for a while and didn't express his worries. He said it was unlucky on the day of great joy, so he just sat down and spread out the paper, picked up a pen and began to write, and asked Jia Min while writing, "Didn't the person from the south say that there is something wrong?" Is the aunt pregnant now, and she will give birth soon, or else let their mother and child come to the north after giving birth?"

Jia Min was very happy at first, but after hearing this, she felt as disgusted as swallowing a fly, "Since you want them to come, then come, I will choose two more obedient and obedient ones to send to the south to serve your father .”

"I know my mother is not happy about this. Today you also saw how weak our family is..."

"Don't talk about it, because you have an arm, I also put up with their wives, and there is nothing I can do for you three. I only hope that your sister can give birth to a prince in peace, and you can marry a virtuous woman. My daughter-in-law, when the time comes, I will find a generous mother-in-law for your sister, and I will finish the big things in my life."

Lin Hao got up and thanked his mother.

It is said that one of the four great joys in life is the wedding night in the bridal chamber. The emperor lifted his hijab and looked at the beauties under the lamp. The more he looked, the more beautiful he felt.

The beauty had picturesque eyes and smiled at him, "Qilang..."

The author has something to say: "Qiro, I'm hungry..."
