hello daiyu

Concubine Jia was also a little dumbfounded, that's it?He was excitedly called into the palace, met, asked a word, and then nothing?But thinking of Baoyu also entering the palace today, I wondered in my heart, could it be that the emperor wanted to marry Baoyu and Daiyu?Thinking of such a result, my heart suddenly became happy, and I didn't care about Concubine Zhang's thorny words.

After sitting for nearly an hour, Daiyu left the palace with Jiamu.As soon as she left the palace gate, she saw Jia Mu's body shaking and almost fell down.Daiyu was startled, and hurriedly supported Jia Mu, and said worriedly, "Old Ancestor, are you alright?"

Jia Mu smiled and said, "It's okay, this old bone is fine, just go back and lie down and you'll recover."

Daiyu hurriedly helped Jia Mu to the direction of the sedan chair, and the maids who came to pick her up took Jia Mu and helped them into the sedan chair. Jia Mu sat in the sedan chair and said, "Yu'er, you go back first! I'm fine here, you Go back and tell your mother not to worry her."

"Hey." Daiyu agreed, watching Jiamu's sedan chair go first before getting into the car.

Out of the city gate, I saw Lin Ruhai, Lin Fu, Baoyu, Yang Chunhe and others waiting outside the gate. When they saw Jiamu's sedan chair and Daiyu's car, they first went to Jiamu's place to say hello.Then Baoyu and Jia Lian, who had originally escorted Jiamu, escorted Jiamu back. Lin Ruhai and others went to the side of Daiyu's car. Baoyu looked here, and finally rode away.

Back home, Jia Min was running around in a hurry like an ant on a hot pot. When he saw everyone coming back, he hurriedly greeted them and asked, "What happened? First, the master entered the palace. Then he announced Yu'er to enter the palace." The master often enters the palace, and I don't have any idea, but Yu'er, why does the empress want to see Yu'er?"

Lin Ruhai smiled lightly, and comforted Jia Min, saying: "It's nothing, it's the grace of the emperor and the empress, who announced us to go in because of the gift of marriage to Baoyu and Yu'er. There should be a decree in a few days." Said like this .But Lin Ruhai thought of the scene at that time. At that time, the emperor insisted on Xuan Yuer's audience. If someone hadn't passed the news to the queen mother, the queen mother would persuade the emperor. No matter what happens, it will not be a good thing for Yu'er after all.

Jia Min always felt something was wrong.If it was for this matter, why didn't she go, but now that the master said so, let's just believe it!Ask Daiyu again, "Did you feel wronged in the palace?"

Daiyu didn't get any definite information in the palace, but now she can learn from Lin Ruhai that the emperor will give her a marriage with Baoyu, and she is relieved.Nothing should go wrong again.Thinking about it again, nothing like this happened in her previous life. Now that things are developing more and more on the original track of history, she has changed her destiny.

Seeing that Jia Min was worried, he smiled to comfort Jia Min and said, "I'm going to see the concubine Jia, who else can wrong me?" Seeing that her husband and daughter seemed to be fine, Jia Min was also relieved. down.

Sitting in the room, Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally came back. Although she didn't feel scared when she was in the palace, she was still a little depressed when she made things difficult for Concubine Zhang.After all, when a person meets you for the first time, he will target you for no reason.When I think about it, I always feel a bit inexplicable, and I was in the deep palace at that time, and I was worried about what Zhang Fei would do, and my hands were sweating all the time. Fortunately, the emperor came and left, and did not stay in the palace. How long will it come out.

Now that the dust has settled, no one can stop her from marrying her husband.

Zijuan came in with tea, and saw Daiyu sitting on the bed in a daze with a smile on her face.Happiness and anticipation flowed through his eyes, and he joked immediately: "Now the girl is doing what she wants?"

"Bah." Daiyu spat at her, feeling embarrassed after all, took the tea and lowered her head to drink tea to cover up her embarrassment.

Let's say that Baoyu returned to Jia's mansion with Jia's mother and others.Then he told Jia Mu the emperor's question in detail.It's just that the matter of one woman and three families begging for repayment in front of the emperor is not a good thing after all, and now that the flower has fallen to his family, no one else would want to mention it, so they omitted it; He told about the marriage, and Jiamu was so happy that she even called her ancestors to protect her.

Two days later, the palace made a decree to grant a marriage, and Concubine Jia gave Daiyu two Ruyi inlaid gems as makeup.For a while, the two families got ready and set the wedding date in May next year.

As soon as the news of the marriage was announced, there were naturally some people who were happy and others who were worried.

Beijing Palace

In the bright study room, there are various books and allusions on the bookshelves against the wall, famous paintings on the walls, and seasonal flowers on the flower table; there is a large rosewood carving table in the local area, and there are only a few books on the table The books and notes that are being read, and the inkstone and pen holder, etc., there is a celadon beauty vase in the corner by the window, with a few osmanthus stuck in it.

A pretty and lively girl of fourteen or fifteen years old was sitting on the desk, writing and drawing. At that time, there was a trace of tranquility between her brows and eyes. Baochai was sitting on a chair beside her with a book in her hand. People sit peacefully, and the interior is quiet and harmonious.

When I was young, a maid came in, breaking the quiet atmosphere. The maid was holding a tray of snacks, followed by a maid holding a pot of tea.

Baochai put down the book, took the tea tray, put it on the small table beside her, and said to the young girl who was serious about drawing, "Princess, take a rest first, come and drink some tea to soothe your throat!"

That girl is the princess, the younger sister of Prince Jing, whom Baochai came to read with. The princess raised her head, looked at Baochai and said with a smile, "Come on, finish this sentence." Then she lowered her head and said seriously After finishing writing, he put down his pen and walked over.

Baochai made the tea and put it in front of the princess.The princess took it in her hand, opened the teacup, sniffed it lightly, took a sip under her red lips, looked at Baochai, her eyes were bright, and she smiled with a row of white teeth, "Sister Bao The skill of making tea is really good.”

Baochai smiled and said, "It's all right. If the princess doesn't dislike it, I'm satisfied. When it comes to making tea, I can't compare to sister Qiaorong." The master boasted so much, seeing Qiaorong standing next to her, her expression was not right, it can be seen that she offended the maid of the princess; she is a newcomer with weak background, it is better not to offend others, she must say a few words to lower her He raised Qiao Rong himself.

These days, Qiaorong saw that the princess was very close to Baochai, and she couldn't stand it for a long time. Now that Baochai praised her, she felt so uncomfortable, and let go of her dissatisfaction. harmonious.

After chatting for a few more gossips, Qiao Rong said as if remembering: "Speaking of which, I heard something today, and it has something to do with Miss Bao!"

"Is it related to me?" Baochai was curious.

"That's right, isn't the Rongguo Mansion related to your family? It's heard that Mr. Baoyu, who was born with jade in his family, was given a marriage by the current Holy Majesty!"

Marriage?Baoyu was given a marriage?Baochai was stunned. A few days ago, her mother specially came to tell her that she had discussed with her aunt that when she was old enough to leave the palace, she would hire her to be Baoyu's official wife. Now that the emperor gave her a marriage, what about her?

It's just that everyone was listening to Qiaorong, but no one noticed her strangeness. They only heard Qiaorong continue: "Speaking of that Mr. Baoyu, oh, he was very handsome. This year, he won Juren again at such a young age. How many other candidates do you have? Maybe next year I will be selected as a Jinshi, and that will be the youngest Jinshi in my court so far..."

The princess was also very interested when she heard it, and grabbed Qiao Rong with bright eyes, and asked: "Whose lady is the one who was married by the emperor?"

Qiaorong thought for a while and said: "I heard that she is the eldest lady of the Lantai doctor Lin Ruhai's family. I don't know her boudoir name. Hey, isn't Miss Bao a relative of Rongguo Mansion? She must know."

Immediately, a group of people turned their eyes to Baochai, Baochai also came back to his senses now, forced his mind back, and forced a smile: "Master Lin is also my cousin's uncle, and Miss Lin's boudoir name is Daiyu. It's the cousin of Baoyu's cousin, so I can call her younger sister."

The princess pestered Baochai to talk about Baoyu again. Although Baochai didn't have much contact with Baoyu when he was in Jia's mansion, he also heard a lot about Baoyu, so he picked up some things that could be said to tell the princess. listened.

Hearing that the princess was very curious, she couldn't help but praised: "From what you said, this Jia Baoyu must be a good person. If there is a chance, I will definitely meet him. But..." The princess talked about it Turning around, wrinkling her pretty nose, "No matter how good he is, he can't have my brother, right? Right! Sister Bao." As she said that, the princess blinked at Baochai, Baochai was not concerned about it, and forced a smile.

The princess worriedly said: "I'm afraid Sister Bao is tired, so you go back and rest first. I have nothing to do here, and Qiaorong and the others will take care of me!"

Baochai didn't want to do this at first, but now she really didn't have the energy to deal with these things anymore. She was afraid that if she persisted, it would be unsightly, so she had to confess her guilt and retreated.

Back in the house, Baochai was bewildered, leaning on the bed, her mind was in a mess, she felt that she had to go back to Jia's mansion, she was not the kind of cheeky person who insisted on catching up.What she did in Jia's mansion back then was not to be taken for granted, but now Baoyu is given a marriage with her aunt's promise. She feels that her heart is so empty that she can't touch the ground. She needs to give herself a reason to give up. She needs to give up. She is not reconciled to figuring out some things and not giving her heart an explanation.

Rongguofu

Pearl has been a little absent-minded in doing things these days, and she is not so enthusiastic about going to Baoyu.It's not that she gave up, but that she hasn't figured out how to go next.She had known that such a day would come, but when she saw that Baoyu, who had always had a stern face, was happy these few days, and became more kind to these maids, she felt a little joy and a little bit sour for a while.Everyone knows why Baoyu has changed. It can be seen how much Baoyu attaches importance to Miss Lin. If so, will she still be able to achieve her wish in the future?

Not to mention Pearl's entanglement here, Mrs. Wang who was lying on the bed was also shocked? "What? The emperor personally granted the marriage?" Mrs. Wang was so shocked that she rolled her eyes and became dizzy.

Chapter 120 Eight Dowry

!

****

After the marriage was settled, the Jia Lin family began to prepare.

Rongguo Mansion is going to expand Baoyu's house, although the original one is big enough, but if a group of maids and women live in it, it will be too small.Baoyu personally participated in the architectural design of the house. After all, this is the place where he and Daiyu will live for a long time, and the first priority is to make them live comfortably and satisfactorily.In addition to satisfying herself, it is also convenient for Daiyu to put forward opinions, and can be revised in time through him.After the sketch was completed, he went to find Daiyu in the middle of the night to see if there was any dissatisfaction with Daiyu, so that he could finalize the draft after revision.

After drawing the design, the dimensions will be sent to the Lin family so that the Lin family can make furniture.The latter ones were managed by Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, while Mrs. Wang lay on the bed and pretended to be sick.Now Baoyu has relieved the power of the medicine on her body.But she didn't want to get up either, so she just pretended not to be good and was still lying on the bed.When Baoyu was depressed, he still had to find time to greet her every time. Who told her that she was the mother of this body!But now that the marriage is done, I don't know her as well.

The Lin family was also busy preparing for the dowry. Although it started from the moment Daiyu was born, it was just preparing some rare and rare things and some high-quality hardwood.You must know that some good wood is not something that you can buy with money, you have to buy some every year and hoard it.In ancient times, a daughter's dowry could not be prepared in a day, even if they saw something scarce and satisfying on weekdays, parents would always pay attention to it and prepare it in the dowry.

In addition to preparing wood to make furniture, jewelry and the like have to be found in the latest styles a few months before marriage.That outdated style is not used by people who love their daughters like the Lin family.

Once you have wood, you need to make beds, tables, chairs, stools, high tables, long cases, cabinets, clothes hangers, towel racks, screens, basin racks, mirror tables and other furniture.

Although the materials are all available, it needs to be built by someone.Then make it into what style.The Lin family held another family meeting.

Because Lin Ruhai was born in Suzhou, he appreciates Su-style furniture even more, while Jia Min prefers the luxury of Cantonese-style furniture, but Lin Ruhai and his daughter like the generous style of Su-style furniture, but they dislike the style of Beijing-style furniture. It is too common and there is enough time for marriage, so the high-quality hardwoods such as huanghuali, rosewood, iron wood, chicken wing wood, and gall wood accumulated over the years are all handed over to Suzhou craftsmen. Place.There is no need to be as troublesome as before-transporting materials to Suzhou for manufacturing.As for Lin Fu, just sit and listen.

Originally, did Daiyu need any wood in the space?It's just that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min just don't want to touch the things inside her, and only ask where to marry their daughters and take their daughter's things as dowry.Daiyu's repeated persuasion was useless, so she had to give up.After my family knew that she had a space, they didn't think about using the things in her space to make a fortune. At most, the fruits and ingredients they ate were produced from the space. When they were free, the whole family went in to enjoy the scenery.There is no need for cars and horses to work hard, but it is also comfortable.On the contrary, she and Baoyu made a lot of money using the space. Baoyu exchanged the money for the shop and handed it over to her to take care of it. He ran errands outside, and Daiyu took care of the account books.Not to mention these.

The furniture started to be made, and Jia Min began to prepare the dowry one by one. "In the first one, I put the two jade ruyis given by the empress, and in the second one..." I wrote the dowry list, and I just waited for everything to be ready and packed.

After the furniture was finished, Jia Min took Daiyu to see it in person, and was relieved to see that Daiyu was satisfied.Then he showed Daiyu the dowry list, copied a copy and told her to keep it by herself.Daiyu took a look at the dowry list and couldn't help but take a deep breath, it wasn't that she hadn't seen the world.But she really didn't have the chance to see it in her previous life, and she doesn't pay as much attention to it in ancient times in modern times, let alone know it.Now look again:

"Jewelry is divided into tins, hairpins, hairpins, bracelet pliers, earrings, rings. Forehead wipes, bracelets, jade pendants, and step shakes. There are dozens of head flowers and so on; there are also clothes and cloth from mink fur and fox fur in winter. , all kinds of robes and cloaks made of ermine and other furs, and all kinds of spring clothes, summer shirts and autumn clothes, adding up to hundreds of pieces; there are fifty bolts of fine silk of various colors, fifty bolts of satin of various colors, flower Fifty pieces of satin, 52 pieces of folded brocade, 52 pieces of cloud brocade, 52 pieces of Shu brocade, 52 pieces of silk yarn of various colors, [-] pieces of fleece, [-] pieces of cloud satin, python satin, makeup satin, gold flower satin, organdy, Soft smoke, pomegranate silk, etc., one hundred purses of various colors. Two tiger skins, eight black fox skins, eight otter skins, eight silver fox skins, eight wolf skins, one roll of big black squirrel skin, sable Two rolls of leather, [-] cents, [-] cents, [-] inches, [-] inches, [-] boards of foreign gold thread tapes of various colors, [-] pieces of spun silk of various colors, [-] pieces of satin with big red and golden longevity characters, [-] pieces of river silk with big red and golden longevity characters, [-] bolts of ten-thousand-dollar gold of various colors, [-] strands of gold thread, [-] strands of silver thread, [-] bolts of shiny satin of various colors, [-] pieces of spring silk of river silk, satin, Hangzhou yarn, spring silk, crepe and spring gauze, piled flowers of various colors Twenty bolts of silk, twenty boxes of woolen yarn of various colors, and all kinds of bedding such as pillows, cushion backs, bed felts, curtains, curtains, curtains, mattresses, etc. There are hundreds of pieces... In addition, there are hundreds of pieces of various furniture and decorations, dozens of antique calligraphy and paintings, medicinal materials are picked up from the precious medicinal materials and packed into several boxes, and there are also farm shops: ten hectares of fields, twenty shops, and eight houses with three entrances. Three sets, five sets of five entrances, eight Zhuangzi, one hot spring Zhuangzi, two Suzhou Zhuangzi, three Yangzhou Zhuangzi, and two Zhuangzi near the capital. Dowry maids and big maids are four (Chun Que, Xia Ying, Zicuckoo, Dongge), four companions..."

After reading the dowry list, Daiyu was really shocked. She had thought that her family was rich, but she had never imagined that she was so rich. For a moment, Daiyu grabbed Jia Min's hand and asked anxiously: "Mother, so many things, why don't you buy them?" Isn’t it true that all our belongings are here? Let’s leave some of the antique calligraphy and painting shop for my younger brother!”

Jia Min smiled and said, "Don't worry, your brother has his share, and our family can afford these things. Your father said that he wants to marry his daughter in a beautiful manner." Daiyu's eyes turned red immediately.

In the rest of the time, Daiyu would embroider the dowry with her own hands, stitch by stitch.Daiyu felt a little sad in her heart. She had no chance in her previous life, and she didn't need it in modern times. Only in this life can she really appreciate the feelings of a young girl married to a marquis in ancient times.Of course, it is not really necessary for Daiyu to embroider everything, at least a few stitches must be embroidered on the wedding dress and quilt to show that she has embroidered the dowry.

Not to mention how Jia's and Lin's families prepared for Baoyu and Daiyu's marriage, let's say that after Li Jun failed to ask the emperor for a marriage that day, she had a long conversation with the Queen Mother in the palace.Then he left the palace with a gray face, and did not go back to the palace, so he went directly to the deserted house where he often lived, and went straight to an attic behind the yard, stayed for a long time, and then called Xiao Zhang in. , ordered him to carry a few jars of wine up to drink with him.

Xiao Zhang held a jar of wine himself.Followed by Xiao He, also holding a jar of wine, went to the attic.While walking, Xiao He asked, "Master, why do you like to stay in this attic every time you are in a bad mood? And every time you come out, you feel much better. Is there anything in this attic that can make you feel better?" "

As long as there are people around Xiao He, he can't help chattering non-stop, Xiao Zhang is used to it, and ignores him, Xiao He rolled his eyes, and said as if he had realized something: "Could it be that the young master hides a beauty here?" Jiao Niang? Every time you are in a bad mood, you go to Mei Jiao Niang to relieve your worries?" Speaking of this.Even he himself believed it, his eyes were full of gossip, he stared at the attic in front of him and thought about the dating scenes of various young masters and various beauties.

Seeing his wretched face, Xiao Zhang couldn't stand it any longer, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about! Your mouth must be restrained, it's here too, if it's over there, I'll see you..." said At this point, Xiao Zhang stopped talking about the topic, and that was not what he should talk about.

Xiao He is new.Serving the young master here, he doesn't know what's going on there, so why let him know, let him be happy all the time, it's good to keep talking like this.

But Xiao He kept asking questions, but Xiao Zhang was the most nervous, he didn't ask a single word in a daze.One of the two kept asking questions, while the other kept his mouth shut.They entered the attic one after the other.Xiao Zhang led the way up the stairs, while Xiao He looked around and thought to himself.The layout here is quite simple, just some simple furniture, it doesn't look like the place where Meijiao Niang lives!

Go upstairs all the way to a terrace on the top floor, about [-] square meters, there is a round table on it, with a few chairs next to it, and a chaise longue, with a brocade quilt on it. There are several pots of chrysanthemums on a flower table.Li Jun stood on the edge of the terrace, staring in one direction in a daze.

Xiao He saw that she was walking all the way, but she didn't see Meijiao Niang, not even the terrace at the final destination, and seeing Li Jun looking in one direction, she couldn't help but poke her head out of curiosity.

Looking at Li Jun's figure, Xiao Zhang saw Xiao Suo even more, and felt sad, and seeing Xiao He's poking around, his distress for his master turned into hatred for Xiao He, and he reached out and beat him on the head hard. , Xiao He couldn't help screaming out in pain.

Li Jun was awakened by surprise, turned around and looked over, saw Xiao Zhang standing beside Xiao He coldly, Xiao He was holding his head and calling out, couldn't help frowning slightly, Xiao Zhang quickly pulled Xiao He He, although Xiao He is naive, he is not stupid. He shrank his head and stopped making a sound, but secretly gasped. Xiao Zhang's attack was really serious. His head was probably swollen, so Xiao He secretly gritted his teeth.

Li Jun's eyes fell on the wine jars beside him, and he said calmly, "Xiao Zhang, go down and get a set of wine bowls."

Xiao Zhang agreed, and pulled Xiao He who was still standing there, and pulled him down.When I was young, Xiao Zhang came up, carrying a basket containing wine bowls and dishes.

He carefully placed all the dishes, bowls, chopsticks, and wine cups on the table. Seeing Li Jun looking over, he explained: "Drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your health, so the younger ones decided to ask the kitchen to make some small dishes for you to serve wine to you." .”

Li Jun nodded lightly, and finally left the terrace, came to sit down at the table, and signaled Xiao Zhang to pour the wine, and as soon as Xiao Zhang filled it, Li Jun finished drinking, Xiao Zhang saw that Li Jun didn't stop, Had to keep pouring.When it was the third cup, Xiao Zhang couldn't help persuading him cautiously: "Young master, you should eat some food first and then drink it! It's easy to get drunk if you drink like this."

"Isn't it easy to get drunk?" Li Jun looked up at him with a trace of indifference in his eyes, and his face was as calm as a pool of ancient well water. Such a calm Li Jun made Xiao Zhang even more worried.

Seeing the worried look on Xiao Zhang's cold face, Li Jun smiled and said, "What? You think your son is so fragile? It's just a woman. There are many beautiful women in this world, and they are not the only ones." One from the Lin family."

Yes, there are plenty of women, but there is only one who makes the young master happy.Xiao Zhang secretly said in his heart, maybe let the young master get drunk and vent a bit, it will be fine.
