The Ring of Red Mansions is far from the heart

On February [-]th of the second year, the Huachao Festival, also known as the Flower God Festival.At the same time, it is also the day when the second session of Jinke Chunwei begins.

This day happened to be the day of Daiyu and Ji, and after this birthday, in September this year, Daiyu will officially marry into Jingtianhou's residence.

Originally, Princess Taiping, Lin Hai and others were afraid that Shen Yu would not be able to come back to get married.Who would have thought that when Shen Yu received the news from the front line years ago, Shen Yu said with certainty that they would definitely return before Shen Yu got married.

This time, Princess Taiping was happy.So Princess Taiping decided that Daiyu's Jiji not only had to be done, but also had to be done in a big way.

Ji ceremony, a kind of ancient ceremony.It is a coming-of-age ceremony for Han women.Commonly known as "shangtou" and "shangtou ceremony".Ji, that is, hairpin.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, it has been stipulated that aristocratic women should perform the Ji ceremony after their engagement (xu marriage) and before their marriage.It is usually held at the age of 15. If you have been waiting to marry and have not promised someone, you can also perform the ceremony at the age of [-].

Shouji means to change the hair style of childhood during the Jiji ceremony, twist the hair into a bun, then wrap the bun with a piece of black cloth, and then insert the hairpin into the bun.The head of the ceremony is the female head of the family, and the invited female guest is the girl's Jiaji, which means that the woman can marry when she is an adult.

After aristocratic women are baptized, they generally have to receive adult education in the palace or the clan, and are taught "women's morality, appearance, merit, and words" as a daughter-in-law must have in dealing with others and serving her uncles. This ode to labor and other skills.In later generations, the girl's mother applied for the precepts and taught them the etiquette, which is called "teaching tea".When a girl is 15 years old, she is called "Jiji". "Rituals. Marriage of Scholars": "Women are married, and they are polite, and they are called characters." "Book of Rites. Nei Ze" "Women...every ten or five years." (from a certain degree)

On the day of Daiyu and Ji, needless to say, Lin Hai, Ye Jun and Mrs. Zhang also became the masters as Daiyu's relatives.And Princess Taiping is the official guest (female elder with virtue and ability) of this ceremony.

At the same time, the queen's family sister, Ye Lan'er, the niece of Ye Jun, was invited as the praiser (to assist the honored guest in saluting, usually a friend or sister of the Jizhe), Yousi (the person who served the tray for the Jizhe) was Xichun, and the praise ( The host) is Eunuch Su.

As Daiyu's grandmother, Jia's mother received a post from the Lin family early on.Originally, Mother Jia thought that, as the old lord of the Rongguo Mansion and Daiyu's grandmother, it would be appropriate to be invited as the official guest at the ceremony for Daiyu and Ji!

Who knows, on the day of Huachao Festival, Jia's mother waited and waited, but did not wait for any further news from the Lin family.It wasn't until the time for Daiyu and Jili that the guest of honor that the Lin family had invited for Daiyu was actually Princess Taiping!

Jia Mu was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she hurriedly asked Yuanyang to change her clothes and freshen up.When she finished her make-up, she brought Jia Baoyu to the Lin Mansion directly, and the auspicious time was almost here.

When she arrived at Daiyu's courtyard, Mother Jia realized that not only the invited guests had arrived, but even Mrs. Xing had chatted with Mrs. Zhao.

And Princess Taiping is lovingly pulling Daiyu to talk.The other wives and ladies watching the ceremony, from time to time, flattered a few words.

The eldest princess glanced at Mother Jia who was obviously late, then turned to chat with Daiyu and Mrs. Zhao without even looking at Mother Jia.

The eldest princess doesn't want to see Jia Mu, but Jia Mu can't pretend that she didn't see her.The salute still has to be saluted.Seeing Jia Mu, who was over 70 years old, tremblingly, she made a big gift to Princess Taiping.

The eldest princess wanted to let her dry out, but for Daiyu's sake, she couldn't bear to make it difficult for Daiyu, "Please, Mr. Feng. You are Yu'er's grandmother. As the saying goes, don't look at the face of the monk." Buddha face. After all, our two families can still be regarded as in-laws."

Mother Jia smiled unnaturally.This old lady who spoke one word in the Rongguo Mansion, when facing Princess Taiping, no matter what schemes and calculations she had, she couldn't use it, "Where, where..."

Mother Jia wanted to say something more, but a little maid ran in panting, "There is a Second Master Bao outside the second gate, who said he was Miss Lin's cousin, and wanted to come in and see Miss Lin!"

As soon as Jia Mu heard this, the blood on her face faded away, and she was frighteningly pale.At the moment, he didn't care about anything else, and quickly supported Yuanyang's hand, and rushed to the second gate, thinking of stopping Jia Baoyu before he said anything inappropriate.

Princess Taiping stared wide-eyed, with a gloomy face, and followed Jia Mu and walked out.The ladies beside them looked at each other in blank dismay, and some who watched the excitement and were not afraid of big troubles also followed behind the two of them.

Mrs. Zhang walked to Daiyu's side and comforted her softly.

Daiyu's eyes were full of tears, she was very pitiful.Since leaving Jia's house, she seldom shed tears anymore.If this matter is spread to the outside world today, let alone her, even Lin Hai and the eldest princess' mansion will be implicated.

"Good boy, don't cry. Let's sit in the room for a while. I think the eldest princess will take care of it in a while, and I won't let this matter get out." Mrs. Zhang supported Daiyu's hand , Go to Daiyu's boudoir.

"Yeah, Sister Lin, don't be sad, today is Sister Lin's big day, look at this makeup is almost gone." Ye Lan'er was very clever, and hurriedly supported Daiyu's other hand, and put her Take it to the boudoir, "Sister Lin's clothes are so beautiful today. I am almost envious of my sister. An Guogong is really kind to my sister."

The clothes that Daiyu prepared for Sanjia today were made by Jia Huan by the top embroiderers in the 'Daughter Workshop'.Moreover, it was designed by Jia Huan himself, and many elements of later generations can be integrated in it.It's no wonder that the big girls and young wives who came to watch the ceremony today are so jealous.

Even Ye Lan'er was thinking of asking her parents to go to the 'Daughter Square' to order special clothes for her wedding ceremony in three months' time after returning home.

When Daiyu heard Ye Lan'er's words, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, "Huan'er prepared these for me last year. For this matter, my father often scolded him for not doing his job properly. But when he saw those three things I really like the way the clothes look, and my father has nothing to say. It's a pity that Huan'er is still taking the exam in the Gongyuan." Thinking back to the day when Jia Huan learned that he could not attend Daiyu's Jiji ceremony, With that unrequited expression on her face, Daiyu just wanted to laugh.

In one sentence, everyone burst into laughter, "I really don't know why An Guogong cares so much about Sister Lin's gift."

"He just didn't want to go to the Chunwei. When he heard that my father was going to hold a funeral ceremony for me, Huan'er had a big fuss, so he wondered if he didn't have to take the exam. In the end, he was suppressed by his father. .” Daiyu laughed from ear to ear when she mentioned this matter.

Tanchun followed the crowd, took two steps, then hesitantly raised his head to look in the direction of the second door, bit his lip lightly, finally turned around, followed Daiyu and others into the room.

A few people came to the second gate, only to hear Jia Baoyu's voice shouting: "You old godmother, I want to go in and see Sister Lin! Sister Lin is exhausted by you dead fish eyes. A good daughter's family is now full of career and economics, so it doesn't make people hiccup."

Jia Baoyu was in Rongguo Mansion, and he was the master who could enter girls' houses casually.In his heart, there has never been any big defense between men and women, not only Jia Mu and others manipulated him, even the little maids and big girls in the mansion all followed his temperament.Not to mention the house, it is the girl's boudoir, which is also entered casually.

If Jia Huan hadn't known about this person and directly invited two strict nuns from the palace to watch over her, Sanchun would never have survived the bad reputation she had in the capital in her first life.

"Baoyu!" Jia's mother became dizzy and stopped quickly.

As soon as Jia Baoyu saw his backer Jiamu came out, he immediately stepped forward and took Jiamu's hand and said coquettishly: "Old lady, tell these people, let me go in and see sister Lin, I haven't seen sister Lin for a long time Is it..."

Jia's mother didn't dare to let Jia Baoyu continue, and didn't care about anything else, she quickly covered Jia Baoyu's mouth.

It should also be unlucky for Jia Baoyu. According to Baoyu's temperament, he only takes pity on the people in front of him.That day, we were childhood sweethearts with Daiyu. In his words, we slept in the same bed and ate at the same table.

And when Daiyu returned to Yangzhou, because of the company of Qin Zhong and Xue Baochai, she hadn't seen Lin Daiyu for a long time, and he only thought about it when someone mentioned it occasionally. Daiyu forgot.

Coupled with Mrs. Wang's deliberate arrangement, few people around Jia Baoyu would mention Lin Daiyu, and Jia Baoyu 'forgot' his sister Lin with peace of mind.

But today, following Mother Jia to Lin's Mansion, this master finally remembered the magnificent sister Lin who used to live in Rongguo Mansion.

"Hmph," Princess Taiping snorted coldly, and said with great disdain, "Is this the upbringing of your mansion? I heard that when our Yu'er's mother passed away that day, the old matriarch thought that Yu'er had no mother's upbringing, and took over When I came to your residence, I originally thought that as an old matriarch, it would be enough to educate Yu'er, but now it seems that the education of your residence is worrying."

Jia's mother immediately laughed and said: "The eldest princess is joking, this is my grandson Baoyu. When Lin girl entered the mansion, she was still young, and their brothers and sisters got along pretty well. My Baoyu is a nostalgic child. , until now, I still often talk about Lin girl, Ying girl and Tan girl." While talking, Jia's mother also looked at Yingchun who was mixed in the crowd.Thinking of letting Yingchun come out and say something nice for Jia Baoyu.

But who knows, Yingchun seems to have become the 'two woods' of the Rongguo Mansion again, standing motionless with Mrs. Yan behind the crowd.It's just a picture that doesn't understand the meaning of Jia's mother's suggestion.

Princess Taiping nodded with a clear face, "Indeed, looking at your grandson's innocent face, he is indeed the kind of nostalgic person."

"That's right, our Baoyu is still young, so we have simple ideas."

"I don't know, but in the eyes of the old matriarch, a 16-year-old man is still a child. Think about it, our Yuer, who was only 15 years old, got engaged, and it is indeed true." It's too early."

After finishing speaking, Princess Taiping ignored Jia Mu, turned around and said to the female officer beside her, "Today is a good day for Yu'er, don't let such a disgusting thing come out and belch people."

"Yes." The female officer replied, and walked out of the second door.

Mother Jia was a little flustered, and was thinking of something to say when the female official came over with two powerful guards just now.

"Take this man out." The female officer pointed at Jia Baoyu and asked the guards to pull Baoyu away.

"Excuse me, Princess Taiping." Mother Jia directly knelt down to Princess Taiping.Although Jia's mother doubted the authenticity of Jia Baoyu's birth with jade recently, after all, she was the grandson she had loved for more than ten years, and he was Jia Zheng's only legitimate son. How could she just watch Jia Baoyu being dragged out?

"Okay, today is a good day for Yu'er, old lady please calm down. Fortunately, my son is not here today, otherwise, whether your old grandson can survive in one piece is a matter of debate. "Ignore Jiamu again, and go straight back to Daiyu's yard.

Tuliu Jia Mu was in a mess in the cold wind in early spring, and for a moment she didn't know whether to catch up with Baoyu and bring him back, or to follow the eldest princess and others to continue to watch Daiyu's Jiji ceremony.
