The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

Before Jia Zheng finished speaking, Mother Jia stood up suddenly, "Who? Who did you say you gave the marriage to?!"

There were Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Sanchun sisters, mother and daughter Xue, etc. in the room. Jia Zheng rushed in. Aunt Xue couldn't avoid it, so she had to stand up with everyone.

Jia Zheng didn't care much, and said to Jia's mother, "I just heard from the ministry that the Supreme Emperor has issued an order to marry my niece!"

Mother Jia tremblingly asked, "Give me Yu'er a marriage? To whom?"

"It's Marquis An Le. Just now, my son heard that the Queen Mother's reward will follow soon."

After the voice fell, all the women in the room were extremely surprised.Mrs. Wang pulled her handkerchief and said with a forced smile: "Well, the letter from the master is true? If it is, it is really a happy event for my niece."

Mrs. Xing likes to see Mrs. Wang deflated the most. The two of them are sitting next to each other, so why can't they see Mrs. Wang's tightly clenched hands?Immediately reciting the Buddha, he said with a smile: "After all, the niece is blessed. This gift of marriage will become the ready-made Mrs. Hou Ye! Old lady, congratulations to you!"

Aunt Xue looked at her daughter, couldn't hide the sourness on her face, and sighed with a smile: "Who would have thought that Miss Lin would have such a great fortune?"

Jia's mother had mixed feelings in her heart. She told Dai Yuruo that she really didn't have the slightest bit of love, but she didn't.She likes a clever girl like Daiyu, and because of various considerations, she wholeheartedly matches Daiyu with Baoyu.Therefore, she disregarded the rule that men and women had different seats at the age of seven, and asked the two children to accompany her.It can be seen that the two Yu'er were still harmonious in those two years.She also thought that the marriage between the two jades would be possible in all likelihood.Who knew that her son-in-law was seriously ill, Daiyu went back to Yangzhou, and then came to Beijing, one thing after another made Daiyu gradually estranged from her family.

Now, Daiyu has been granted a marriage by the Supreme Emperor, what an honor is this?What's more, the object of the marriage is a marquis, and Daiyu's marriage is the marquis's order. Except for herself, all the female relatives in the two mansions are of lower rank than her. When we meet in the future, how can we get along with each other?

Although Jia Mu thought so in her heart, she couldn't listen to Aunt Xue's words.how?What is "who would have thought to be so blessed"?Could it be that her granddaughter is inferior to others in her eyes?She herself is a daughter of a businessman, and she is still delusional about climbing to the Duke's mansion, but she has the face to talk about her granddaughter?

Mother Jia is old and mature, she nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I just say that my Yu'er is a hard-working person. She lost her father and mother since she was a child, so she won the eyes of the Supreme Emperor and Queen Mother, and gave her a marriage. It’s a reward again.”

Mrs. Xing hurriedly continued to talk: "Yes. This is a rare honor, but there are too many girls in the world. How many of them have been bestowed by the Supreme Emperor? With such a will to bestow marriage, it is better than leaving the court. When I was a child, it would be more decent to add a few more dowry!"

Jia Mu didn't want to hear her vulgar words, and whenever she opened her mouth, she was petty.At this time, it felt very pleasing to the ear, and said with a smile: "That's the reason."

He sighed again: "My Yu'er will only be fifteen next year, alas, I don't know if there is anyone in their house to help prepare some. Feng girl can't go out at this time..."

Mrs. Wang's eyelids moved, and she said with a smile: "Although girl Feng can't go out, it's not easy to watch in our house. The old lady is only the granddaughter of this direct relative. Even if there are people in their house, we should do our best." Helping busy and busy, let alone only a niece now? Although her brother is good, it is a pity that he is a man, how does he know these trivial matters?"

Mother Jia nodded, "If that's the case, ask Lian'er to go over and ask. If they need it, ask Lian'er to follow along."

After all the people dispersed, Jiamu leaned on the couch and closed her eyes.I sighed heavily in my heart.She could see clearly that Baoyu was really different from other people to Daiyu.Although I came up with the bastard idea of ​​giving the handkerchief before, I can see that Baoyu's heart is with Daiyu.Otherwise, why didn't he give it to others, but only to Daiyu?If I found out that Daiyu was married to someone else for a while, I don't know how sad I would be.

Jia's mother was tangled up here, and when Mrs. Wang came back to her yard, she almost dropped a bucket of color teacup on the ground, which scared Aunt Xue Baochai, who came after her, to jump.

"Sister, what's the matter? Who made sister angry?" Aunt Xue asked as soon as she entered Mrs. Wang's room, holding Baochai's hand.

Mrs. Wang sat next to the kang table, pointed to the other side, let Aunt Xue sit down, and forced the corners of her mouth to say: "It's nothing, it's just my hands slipped."

He also asked Baochai to sit beside him, and looked at her round and beautiful face, with her black hair tied in a homely bun, with only a small emerald golden phoenix inserted on it, and on the other side But there is a new silk palace flower, and there is nothing extravagant except for the golden lock worn around the neck.

Yin smiled to Aunt Xue: "I'm just as steady and dignified as Aibao girl. There is no other girl who is as frivolous as other girls who only focus on hair and clothes."

Then he said lovingly to Baochai: "My dear boy, I will go to the palace to greet your eldest sister in two days. Your eldest sister said yesterday that she was very bored and told me to bring their sisters in to talk. When the time comes You follow too."

Baochai's heart skipped a beat, her face flushed slightly, and she nodded.

But he said that Yunning got the imperial decree here, so he didn't dare to delay, so he went to see the old concubine in the Dong'an Palace first, and invited the concubine to come forward to preside over his own Xiaoding.

They also asked someone to pick up the nearest auspicious day, picked two of them, and sent them to Lin's residence together with Situ Lan.Lin Yan was speechless looking at the two people sitting in the flower hall, and then looked at the slip of paper in his hand. Two dates were written on it, one was the sixteenth of August, and the other was the eighth day of September, "Master, Are these two days a little tighter? We are preparing here, I am afraid it will not be easy. Why don't we have two good friends and one good, and the engagement will be on the day of Sister Sister and Ji, how about it?"

Situ Lan took a sip of tea, looked at the anxious Yun Ning, and said with a smile: "Then choose a later date. It will take more than a month to calculate, and the things you return here are just a few things. Clothes, shoes and socks take time, but everything else is easy to come by. At least you can see that I don’t want to be dragged by him to be a coolie, so you should have agreed earlier.”

Yun Ning hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Yan and said, "Actually, I heard from my aunt that the clothes don't need to be done by the girl herself. It's just a few stitches at the end to suit the occasion. The date is still suitable. If it is In the coming year, although there won't be any side issues, it's just that Brother Lin still has to prepare for the exam in March, but it's too rushed. It's better to make it earlier, so that Brother Lin can prepare for the exam with peace of mind. Besides, the auspicious dates later It’s better to have a discussion.”

According to Yunning's meaning, it is natural that Daiyu and Empress Ji got married earlier.It's just that in the new year, apart from the preparations for Daiyu and Jizhi's ceremony, in March, it's the time of spring, Lin Yan has already missed a subject, and this time he will definitely end up.In this way, getting married in spring is unlikely.It's hot in summer, and it might be another year all of a sudden.

This is a bit too long.Yun Ning was very disgusted.

Lin Yan looked at Yun Ning's fidgeting look, and suddenly felt teasing in his heart - his brother-in-law, of course he can fix it as he wants.At this time, who takes you as Lord Marquis?

"Then Xiaoding's day should be on the eighth day of September. It's just that my sister has never seen Lord Hou, and the clothes may not fit well after cutting. If it is convenient for Lord Hou, sister She will go to the palace to thank the Queen Mother early tomorrow morning." .”

Yun Ning's eyes lit up, and the originally expressionless face suddenly smiled like a warm sun, and the cold and hard lines softened, "It's convenient. I have nothing else to do tomorrow, brother Lin, don't worry."

Lin Yan rolled his eyes, thinking, why am I so worried?He didn't say any more, and sent out all the princes and princes in a good voice.

The next morning, Daiyu woke up early to wash and wash, and was escorted by Lin Yan to the palace to thank her.Because the queen mother only announced Daiyu, Lin Yan had to send it to the gate of the palace and stopped.

It was just autumn, and the weather was still very hot.Lin Yan deliberately didn't ride a horse, and came in two separate carriages with Daiyu.That's all for Daiyu, he still has a huge ice basin in his car.Therefore, although the sun has risen outside, it is still cool inside the car.

Lin Yan ordered people to drive the car to a place far away from the palace gate, and found a cool place to park it.I was leaning against the wall of the car with my eyes closed, when suddenly my eyes lit up, and then the light dimmed again.

Lin Yan knew who got into the car without opening his eyes.Sure enough, there was warmth in the ear, and Situ Lan's familiar breath came over, "Zifei, you really enjoy it."

Lin Yan opened his eyes, "You don't need to go to court?"

Situ Lan sat beside Lin Yan, and said with a smile, "I don't have to go every day. I just go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to get an appointment."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "The corpse is a vegetarian meal."

Seeing the half-smile look on his face, Situ Lan liked it, especially his thin lips. She was very happy at the moment, and stretched out her hand to hug Lin Yanhao for a kiss, but there was a sound of horseshoes coming from outside. , a clear voice sounded outside: "Brother Lin."

If it's not Yunning, which one is it?

Situ Lan gritted her teeth and opened the curtain from the inside, calling Yun Ning: "Come up!"

The carriage is not small, and there are three people sitting in it, but it is a bit crowded.Fortunately, after a while, there was a servant named Jixiang running from the gate of the palace to say that the girl had come out, so Lin Yan hurriedly asked someone to drive the car over.

When the three of them jumped out of the car, Daiyu just came out from the palace.The two foster nuns behind her were dressed neatly and followed behind, and were guided by a eunuch in charge of the Empress Dowager's Palace.

Lin Yan hurried over to thank the eunuch, and then ordered Xueyan and Zixiao, who were waiting in the car, to get out of the car and help Daiyu.

Seeing two strange men beside Lin Yan, Daiyu didn't speak to Lin Yan, just nodded slightly, and walked to the side of the car holding Xueyan's hand.

Lin Yan personally helped Daiyu into the car, lowered his voice and said, "Sister, the one wearing lotus blue clothes is An Lehou."

Daiyu's face flushed red, and she quickly got into the carriage and sat down.Xueyan and Zixiao also got into the car in a hurry, and only then did they draw down the curtain.

For such an instant, Yunning's eyes locked on Daiyu.But seeing that her cheeks were dizzy, she seemed annoyed but really ashamed, her eyebrows were frowning, her eyes were as bright as water, she really deserved to be elegant and elegant.

Sitting in the car, Daiyu's heart was still pounding, secretly complaining that Lin Yan didn't tell her earlier.Thinking of the figure he caught a glimpse just now, he is tall and straight, taller than his elder brother.Although the eyebrows and eyes are not very clear, it can be seen that it is by no means ugly and vulgar.

The two girls Xueyan and Zixiao looked at each other, and they both covered their mouths and smiled secretly.

Daiyu bit her lower lip lightly, couldn't help raising her head, and looked out through the gauze curtain—in front of the carriage, her brother had changed to riding a horse.There are two other men riding side by side, and the tallest figure on the far right is his beloved.

Xueyan was young, so she couldn't help it anymore, she just looked at Daiyu and smiled.

Daiyu's face turned red, and she turned her head to look outside the car. She might as well meet Yunning's gaze that turned her head. Although it was separated by a gauze curtain, it seemed as if her gaze met...

The days passed quickly, Lin Yan's side has also started to prepare busyly after receiving the imperial edict of marriage.Because the process from discussing marriage to offering marriage was all sudden, although Lin Yan was not in a hurry here, he was also afraid of missing something and making a joke.Therefore, in addition to a few experienced old people in the mansion, Zhao Zi's wife was also invited to help Zhang Yan.

Zhao Zi didn't understand before, "There are relatives in your mansion, isn't the Rongguo Mansion here? Why didn't you invite them to help with the preparation?"

Lin Yan said with a smile, "They sent Lian's second cousin over here. It's just that it's my relative's house. I'll be happy when I come over to have fun on a scheduled day."

Hearing the meaning, Zhao Zi didn't ask carefully, obviously he didn't like people like Rongfu very much.He nodded and said, "It's not bad just to be treated as relatives." Yin then asked his wife to come over and help Lin Yan prepare.

Daiyu decided that day, the weather was very good.Because it has entered the autumn, the blue sky is like washing, the thin clouds are like clouds, and the thin autumn wind blows past, which makes people feel very refreshing.

Jia Mu took Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Youshifeng, sisters Sanchun and so on, all dressed up in new clothes, and came in a few cars.In addition to the girls and women with them, they lined up half a street.It was really a good show. Lin Yan heard the people from the Rong Mansion coming, so he hurriedly greeted them out in person.Jiamu is dressed in a golden-brown tunic with flowers, a blue-gold horse-face skirt, a two-color gold inlaid agate forehead, and a heavy wooden crutch in her hand. She is very wealthy.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "The old lady is working. Please rest inside."

Jia Mu nodded, with a kind and peaceful smile on her face, "Where is my Yu'er?"

Lin Yan said: "My sister is still preparing for this meeting, and I will come out to meet guests after a while. Madam, please rest first, and I will call someone to invite my sister to come out."

Jia Mu hurriedly stopped: "Don't be too busy, she shouldn't come out first on this day."

Lin Yan didn't insist, and personally sent Jia Mu and others inside.

Not long after, people came back and forth saying that Dong'an Wang Taifei, Dong'an Wangfei and An Lehou had all come.Lin Yan hastily pleaded guilty to Jiamu and the others, then turned around and came out.

Speaking of this little ceremony, it is actually more about the matter of the female relatives.The two families intended to intermarry, and after Nacai asked for their names, the elders of the man's side came to present jewelry and other things to the woman to show that the marriage contract between the two families was formally settled.

Concubine Dong'an was invited by Yun Ning. She was originally a junior in the mother's family, and she was given a marriage by the Supreme Emperor. Concubine Wang was also happy to give Yun Ning a favor.Today I came with the princess.

Although Jia Mu and others have imperial orders, how can they compare with others' Wang Taifei?After getting up in a hurry to say hello to An, they sat down separately.

Mrs. Zhao, who had been annoyed by Lin Yan long ago to accompany the female relatives, saw that it was almost time, so she called the girl to ask Daiyu to come out.

Daiyu came out in a bright red two-color gold dress.The face is lightly powdered, the eyebrows are lightly drawn, and the whole person is like walking out of a painting.They bowed to the elders who were sitting on the top, and their gestures showed the demeanor of a lady, with a bit of elegance and agility.

Concubine Dong'an's eyes flashed with astonishment, she took Daiyu's hand and praised: "It's really unexpected that she is such a good girl!"

Princess Dong'an smiled and asked someone to bring four brocade boxes, which contained a few things that must be included in the ceremony - rings, bracelets, collars, clothes, fabrics, etc.

Wang Taifei personally inserted a phoenix hairpin in Daiyu's hair, which was a ceremony.Concubine Wang took off a red gold eight-treasure bracelet from her wrist and put it on Daiyu's hand. Daiyu hurriedly thanked her, and Concubine Wang smiled, "Good boy, I will change my mind in the future."

Another member of the Lin family offered four boxes in return, and Princess Wang accepted them with a smile and nodded.At this point, the Yunlin family has officially settled down.

When Jia Mu and others watched the whole process, apart from lamenting that Daiyu was blessed, everyone had other thoughts.Only Mrs. Wang felt as if she was rolling with oil——Ever since she heard about this girl Lin being given a marriage, Baoyu has been sick all the time, and she has never had a good meal.Now, people are thinner!
