Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 247 Yuanchun Gets Married
After hearing this, the dog quickly knelt down: "Yes, it's all according to the second master's orders."

Here Xue Hong brought her dog to Zhuangzi, and Xue Wang became busy again, she wanted to prepare something to add makeup to Yuan Chun.

Originally Yuanchun entered Fourth Master's Mansion in the spring of next year, but he didn't know that Fourth Master had now been awarded the title of Prince Heshuo Yong, and the mansion had been renovated and officially renamed Prince Yong's Mansion.According to the system, many servants have been newly recruited in the palace, and Yuan Chun, in response to this situation, formally entered Yongwang's palace as a concubine to serve him.

Manchu concubines all have a title called Gege.This grid is a general term for all women who have not been formally included in the family tree.Good concubines are also called Gege, cheap concubines are also called Gege, concubines and Tongfang are also called Gege.However, Yuanchun has Rongguo Mansion as his background. Even though he is Han, his family background is not low, so he can be regarded as a good concubine.It's a pity that if she yelled out, it might not be surprising that in Prince Yong's mansion, others would treat her like a girl in the same room.

From the procedural point of view, the concubine in the palace is much simpler. Compared with the lengthy and cumbersome etiquette one by one when marrying Fujin, I don't know how much trouble it will save.But the wedding will still take place.

Manchus only hold their weddings at night when they marry their main wives, and concubines usually take place during the day.The groom does not have to pick up a woman who is a concubine in person. He only needs to carry the dowry from his home in a soft sedan to the husband's house. Then the husband's family will carry the bride's sedan and dowry in through the corner gate, and the ceremony is complete.

Because she is married to a prince, the rules and etiquette are all taught by the nanny from the palace, and the old servant who served Yinzhen in Yongwang's mansion will tell Yinzhen's temper and preferences, so as to save Xin Gege from knowing nothing about the mansion and easily committing crimes. taboo.

Mrs. Wang carefully arranged dowry and other things for Yuanchun.

Because Yuanchun is the daughter of the prostitute and the first daughter of Rongguo Mansion's generation to marry, Jia's mother took pity on her and gave Yuanchun a lot of dowry, and dragged Yuanchun to cry a few times, as if she was reluctant to part with it.

All the elders of Yuanchun in both Rongning and Ningfus were given gifts to add makeup. Even Jia Min gave many small gold ornaments.Not for wearing it, just for the convenience of entering the palace to reward people in the future.

Among them, especially the things belonging to the Xue Wang family are the most valuable.

Xue Wang has always been generous, and has always loved Yuan Chun, who knows the cold and the hot, but now that she has finally ended up as a concubine, although she blames her parents for being too cruel, she can't bear it, and only took a lot of valuable things. Come to add makeup to her, it is more and more delicate than Mrs. Wang prepared.The gold, jade and jewelry alone filled two large carts, and there were 5 taels of gold tickets and 10 taels of silver tickets. With these things, not to mention adding makeup, it was enough to marry a daughter.

Mrs. Wang was so grateful that even Yuan Chun felt ashamed of receiving it: "Auntie, these things are really too much. I am marrying the prince, not a beggar. Why do I need so much silver?"

"Silly boy, take what your aunt gives you. Although you are the daughter-in-law of the Duke's family, but you are a Han girl, where is the best place to stand in the prince's mansion? You take all the money, even the money given to you Although those decorations and ornaments are small and exquisite, they are all solid and heavy. After you enter the mansion, you can only bring a girl with you. If you don't write money to buy people's hearts, who will help you do things? I have wronged you for nothing."

Yuan Chun felt sad for a while when he heard this, but he didn't know what to say.Mrs. Wang's eye circles were also red: "My son has grown up and is going to get married, but how can a mother be willing to..."

Yuan Chun had no choice but to kneel down, mourning and saying: "My daughter is not filial. After she gets married, she may not be able to return to the house often. From now on, my daughter will not be able to accompany her around. Please take good care of her mother, and don't let her worry about it."

Mrs. Wang pulled Yuan Chun up and held her in her arms: "Silly girl, have you ever seen my mother not having a good life at home? She only feels sorry for you..."

When Xue Wang saw the mother and daughter crying with each other in their arms, and retreated from the room, Ren Baochai helped them out, and she was still very sad.Seeing this, Baochai frowned and said, "Mother, you can't let me marry a child of the royal family in the future. This is no marriage. It's clear that I will never return."

Xue Wang patted the back of Baochai's hand and said: "Mother knows, your marriage will not be like your sister Yuanchun's in the future. No matter what, Mother will not let being a concubine suffer that kind of hardship."

Baochai nodded silently, staring blankly at Yuanchun's door, unable to recover for a long time.

On the day of Yuanchun's great rejoicing, the nuns of Prince Yong's Mansion came to dress Yuanchun early in the morning, and combed her with the big pull wings that are popular among noble ladies in Manchuria.Two red gold ruyi flat hairpins are firmly fixed on the head, with a gold silk inlaid with rubies, double luan dotted with green steps, a pink velvet gauze pressed hairpin, decorated with emerald butterfly love patterns. , wearing a red gold peacock on the top of the screen, a pair of gold silk gourd earrings on the ears, a gold necklace inlaid with precious stones and rich and precious flower patterns on the neck, and a pair of beaded coral bangles on the wrist.

Put on a red satin ground white fox fur lining with floral crane pattern auspicious clothes, covering the navy blue satin ground gold embroidered four-in-one Ruyi style cloud shoulder, wearing the same color silk ground sub-plated skirt with gold embroidered wealth and peace pattern side pleated skirt, wearing satin on the feet Flat stitch pomegranate motif horseshoe shoes.

After they were dressed, the joyous music played, and the women and maidservants of Jia's mansion, led by Mrs. Wang, opened Yuanchun's dowry box and began to display the dowry.

Because Yuanchun was not married as a regular wife, but also married into the palace as the concubine of the prince, many dowries in Han wedding ceremonies should not be included, such as large pieces of furniture, dowry shops, even oversized ornaments and too many cultural objects. Ancient books are out of date.

But without a big guy, it doesn't mean that Yuan Chun's dowry is very simple.There are a total of twelve large boxes and twelve small boxes, most of which are gold and silver lumps that are not bad, gems, jade, and some silks and satins of various colors, and clothes, shoes and socks for the four seasons.Although it cannot be called a ten-mile red makeup, it is also an expensive dowry that is rarely seen in the wedding rituals of noble girls in Beijing.

Under the praise and envy of the guests, Yuan Chun finished her makeup and put on a red hijab.As soon as the salute and music guns sounded, she was about to get into the sedan chair with the support of Xi Niang.

There is no such thing as crying marriage in Manchu marriages, so Yuanchun under the hijab not only cannot shed a tear, but also try to keep a happy smile.The sound of rites and music, one after another, each sound seemed to hit Yuan Chun's heart heavily, so as to dilute the indelible bitterness in his heart.

After finally arriving at Prince Yong's Mansion, Yuan Chun got off the sedan chair at the corner gate and stepped over a saddle tied with red silk, only to hear someone shouting loudly: "The auspicious time has come, welcome the bride~"

With the support of Baoqin, Yuan Chun crossed another threshold, and someone came over and said auspicious words: "Congratulations to Xin Gege, congratulations to Xin Gege, this servant will lead Gege into the main hall."
