Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 33 Jia Yuanchun Married ([-])

Since Yuan Chun came back, she knew it well. She had seen the dowry Mrs. Wang prepared for her. It was not too rich, but thoughtful and considerate in every way.A mother’s loving heart can be seen in the subtleties. Jia Yao has lived in this world for so many years, and gradually understands the tacit understanding and rules of the upper class in this society, and also vaguely understands that the dowry is not blindly seeking abundance.It is better to be suitable, for example, whether the preferences of the married person, the needs of the daughter, and the things that can be displayed on the table in the family are all qualified enough.If there are no major changes in the family to marry, then the specifications of the dowry are roughly determined, and the comparison is just the thoughtfulness and consideration of whose mother thinks about the details.

Yuan Chun's wedding dress is almost embroidered, so there's no need to worry about it. These days, I've been taking Jia Yao and the others to moisturize and nourish the skin.Jia Yao stayed with Yuan Chun for a while, and she liked Yuan Chun more and more in her heart.Maybe it's because Yuan Chun is older and she met her in the palace. Her every move is elegant and decent, and her personality is also very good. She can definitely be called dignified.Moreover, Yuan Chun is not as delicate and soft as other girls in this era, who make a fuss. When she took her younger sister to make a female red embroidered purse, her attitude was always open and generous, unlike other girls who want to get into the cracks of the ground when they talk about getting married. Go, this made Jia Yao very much agree.When Yuan Chun talked about his aunt to Jia Yao, he didn't have the meaning of gnashing his teeth, he only regarded them as servants, which is also somewhat similar to Jia Yao.

Since the marriage between the two families has been acquiesced by both parties, the exchange of Geng Tie is just a symbolic process.Yuanchun is 25 this year, and in the 21st century she would still be a young girl, but in this society, a 25-year-old unmarried girl is considered an old girl.The man in that family is nearly thirty. Fortunately, there is no concubine, so there is no son and a half daughter under his knees, so the two families do not wait too long. Although they are in a hurry, they finally arranged to get married this year. It's done.Of course Mrs. Wang is reluctant to part with her girl, but she also has deep-rooted feudal thinking, and she is afraid of delaying the girl.Therefore, the two families asked people to count the auspicious days of the zodiac, and then delineated the nearest day.Jia Zheng has nothing to do with this, he and his eldest daughter have never been very close, they just love each other.Now that the eldest daughter is married, Jia Zheng's heart is sour as a father, but he only pretends to give a few serious instructions, and secretly gives a sum of money from his private house.Yuanchun's status in the mansion is also extremely noble, not to mention the official dowry, the dowry added by the parents is a sum of money privately given by Jia Mu, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, etc., the quality of life after Yuanchun will be guaranteed .And Yuan Chun is generous and smart, able to manage life, and the relationship between husband and wife will not be bad in the future, so although Jia Yao is a little bit reluctant, she still feels at ease and wishes for this sister.Jia Yao knew that she would get married one day, Jia's mansion could not be the place where she would live all her life, and the future marriage partner must be decided by her parents, and she had no place to comment.She couldn't resist this era, so she accepted this reality many years ago.I just hope that I can also be like my big sister Yuanchun, marry a rich and honorable family who does not seek danger, manage my life well, and live a stable life for the rest of my life.The most she can ask for is to hold her son's hand and grow old together. As for the person she likes, she sings in the morning and evening, drinks wine and composes poems, and smiles at each other when the consonance suddenly appears. She knows it without words. The forest is gone with the wind.Maybe it's because she knows that it's hard to find, and it's easy to get it unexpectedly, that's why she loves the magic barrier. Since then, there will be so much love and hate to make this proud girl of two lives understand her insignificance and humbleness. People say that if they knew today, they regretted not being in the past, so who could have known today?But those are things for later, now, Jia Yao is still in Jia's mansion as her noble and favored third lady.

But when it comes to Yuanchun's wedding day, when he wakes up early in the morning, the lively and festive Jia's mansion that was arranged earlier becomes busy.When Yuanchun got up in the morning, he first went to Jia Mu's place to say hello. There were so many people in Jia Mu's house, and the relatives of the four major families naturally came. For a good family, Yuan Chun naturally paid homage to the elders of the women's family one by one. Jia's mother didn't want to keep her here to waste time, so she sent her to Mrs. Wang's courtyard to clean up.Jia Zheng found an opening in the front yard and went to Mrs. Wang's yard as well.In Mrs. Wang's room, Yuan Chun kowtowed to his parents, and his eyes were inevitably red.Mrs. Jia Zhengwang also felt a lot of emotion. After all, she had done a lot of things, and she couldn't help delaying things with those emotions.Jia Zheng looked at the time and said, "Go ahead and ask your mother to dress you up." Yuan Chunfang got up and followed Mrs. Wang into the back room.

Suddenly Baoyu and Jia Yao also came to Mrs. Wang's place. When they entered the main room, they saw Jia Zheng was going back to the front yard to entertain guests.When the two saw their father, they naturally saluted first.Jia Zheng didn't say anything, he just told them to go in and accompany the eldest sister, then turned and left.But Jia Yao didn't know that Jia Zheng looked at her and felt even more uncomfortable. Among all his children, he valued his second son the most, but he loved his youngest daughter the most.Now that Yuan Chun is married, he is very reluctant as a father, and he can't help but think that his youngest daughter is also going to get married.My heart was sore at first, but thinking about it made me feel even more uncomfortable.

Naturally, Jia Yao would not have thought of this. When she and Baoyu entered the back room, Mrs. Wang was watching two or three maidservants surrounding Yuanchun and trimming her eyebrows.Seeing the younger son and daughter come in, they didn't say anything.He only caressed the two children once, asked how the breakfast was, and told them to stay in peace.It was the first time for Jia Yao to look at ancient women's makeup in such detail, because she was still young, Madam Wang was afraid that the rouge and water powder would hurt Jia Yao's skin, so she never asked her to touch it.Therefore, Jia Yao really doesn't know much about these makeup procedures.But looking at Yuanchun's makeup process, the aesthetics of the ancients is still very mainstream.Seeing Yuan Chun put on a light layer of pink rouge, Bi Qi lightly covered Yuan Chun with a layer of white powder, making Yuan Chun's face look tender and fair, with a very good complexion.Bi Jun has already lined Yuan Chun's eyeliner with eyebrow pencil, it's not as exaggerated as modern eyeliner, but it just makes the eyes look a little more energetic.Yuan Chun was already beautiful, but with a little make-up, she was even more beautiful.Seeing that the makeup was done, Mrs. Wang came up in person and painted her daughter's eyebrows. She picked up some rouge with a hairpin, and some rose powder. Yuan Chun wiped it on her lips.Yuan Chun's makeup was not as clear and exaggerated as Jia Yao imagined, but it was elegant and just right to make Yuan Chun's face more beautiful.

After putting on makeup, Mrs. Wang took the comb from Yuan Chun's maid, Bi Jun, and combed Yuan Chun's hair.He muttered, "One comb to the tail, two combs until the white hair is even with the eyebrows, three combs, and four combs until the children and grandchildren are all over the floor. Four combs until the four silver shoots are all in order. My son, from now on, you are someone else's daughter-in-law. Yes. Mother has always been at ease with you, knowing that you know what is in your heart. I just want to tell you, don't wrong yourself for anything, our Jia family will always stand behind you." Yuan Chun replied with a slight choke.Baoyu, who had been silent all this time, walked up to Yuanchun, looked at the elder sister who loved her so much in her childhood vague memory but hadn’t seen her for more than ten years, and smiled softly and warmly, "Don’t worry, elder sister, younger brother will definitely work hard, don’t worry about it." Call Big Sister to make others look down on you." Yuan Chun hugged Baoyu in his arms, gently stroked his back, his eyes were filled with relief, as if he was still Baoyu when he was young.It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother. In Yuan Chun's heart, why doesn't Baoyu Jiayao be regarded as a son and daughter.It's just that Ru Gongmen has missed the growth of his younger brother and the birth of Yaomei for more than ten years.Jia Yao's eyes were also red, and she stepped forward to hug Yuan Chun together.Yuan Chun said in a soft voice, "I don't worry about Baoyu, Eldest Sister is waiting for you to support Eldest Sister. It's just Yao'er, Eldest Sister is going to leave again before she takes good care of you. From now on, Eldest Sister is better off there. Just pick you up and stay with me." Jia Yao choked with sobs and nodded vigorously.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "You two, let go of your eldest sister. We must not be sad on such a happy day. Yuanchun, ask Biqi to comb your hair." Yuanchun finished combing the bride's hairstyle for a while, because of those hairpins The ring head is too heavy, so I didn't take it all.Mrs. Wang also asked Yuanchun to eat a piece or two of dim sum, which is not acceptable for a serious meal. At one time, Li Wan, Daiyu, Jia Huan, Yingchun, Xichun and other relatives and sisters came to see them off.They said goodbye one by one.Go back to your yard again.It's time for Yuanchun to bid farewell to his elders.Mrs. Wang first took Baoyu Jiayao back to Jiamu's main courtyard, and asked Yuanchun to cover her head and face at the right time to say goodbye to her elders.Jia Mu sat at the head, and Jia She and Jia Zheng were divided into two sides. This is the established procedure in marriage.Yuanchun and his party are prostrating, and Mother Jia and others have added makeup to the jewelry.Jia Yao and other juniors were sitting below, and saw Jia Amnesty take out a set of emerald emerald and emerald red hair, obviously did not inform Mrs. Xing in advance, seeing Mrs. Xing's painful expression, Jia Yao even pardoned for Jia shame.As an uncle, Jia Amnesty was not very close to Jia Yao, but he still fulfilled his uncle's responsibilities. The red envelopes he gave each year during the New Year's Eve were quite generous, obviously he hadn't discussed it with Mrs. Xing.It can also be seen from this that Mrs. Xing really has no place in Jia She's heart.Of course, it also proves that Jia She still loves his son in his heart.Although Jia Amnesty looked up at Jia Lian, Jia Yao could understand that Mrs. Xing had no sons and daughters these years, which was also Jia Amnesty's protection for Jia Lian.

After Yuan Chun paid homage to the elders, it was time to really go out.The person who came back to report said that the bridegroom officer would arrive at Jia's mansion in a quarter and a half.The brazier had been set up, and Jia Zheng led Yuan Chun out all the way.When he arrived at the second gate, Jia Lian carried Yuanchun on his back.The people who came to greet the relatives have arrived, and the bridegroom officer got off the saddle and went to see Jia Zheng first.Naturally, Jia Zheng told his son-in-law a few words, and it was nothing more than to live a good life and work hard to make progress.The groom naturally made a promise to Jia Zheng.Jia Yao was still at Jia Mu's place, watching Jia Mu leading Mrs. Wang to welcome guests, she knew in her heart that Yuan Chun should have gotten into the bridal sedan chair by now.She couldn't send Yuanchun off in person like Jia Lian and Baoyu, but silently blessed her in her heart.I hope my sister can live a happy life in the future.
