Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Wang Xifeng had lunch with the others at Lin's house, and did not go back until noon. Naturally, she went to see Mother Jia for her order.At that time, Li Wan, the two wives of King Xing, Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan, the mother and daughter of Sanchun's sisters, were all joking and joking around Jia's mother, and Wang Xifeng invited Ann first.

Jia Mu asked with a smile, "How is it? Is your sister's house still lively?"

Wang Xifeng is the most knowledgeable person, giggled and said, "It's really a big and decent thing that I caught up with. It's the old lady who loves me and runs errands for me. Princess Nanan, Princess Nanan, Princess Nananrui, Princess Nanan They all went, as well as my mother, Mrs. Xu Xiang, Mrs. Xu Taiyi's wife, and other court ladies, not to mention how lively it was. Princess Rui held Cousin Lin's hand and said that she was a younger brother. I only found out after inquiring. Xueshi Xu, who taught his cousin, also taught the prince of the imperial court. Sister Lin's dowry is also seen, her eyes are full of jewels, so dazzling that people can't open their eyes! There are many things that I don't know well, I heard from Cousin Lin that it was an item bought overseas, and several concubines praised it again and again. I asked, and Cousin Lin said that the dowry of the princess of Dong’an is 150 sets, and I prepared it for sister Lin. 140 eight loads of dowry, and Zhuangzi’s shop is complete with dowry. Oh, and the furniture and cabinets are all made of high-quality rosewood, painted with gold and carved, elegant and grand, I can’t compare of."

Jia's mother nodded again and again, "That's good, that's good." But she regretted that Baoyu had no fate. Before Jia Min married, she was only a dowry, but now Lin Daiyu is even better. The relatives of the two surnames are a bit vulgar in terms of dowry, and they are also the No. 1 granddaughter-in-law.

Hu Po brought the tea, and Wang Xifeng finished it in one go, moistened her throat, glanced at the faces of Xue's mother and daughter, and said with a smile, "Tell me, where can 140 be stopped? Some are big and heavy. The furniture has been shipped to Mu’s house in advance, and it’s not counted. Another piece, the box and cage are solid porcelain. They usually have a pair of bracelets and a box. Cousin Lin puts four pairs and counts as a box. If I tell you to take it apart According to normal calculations, two hundred units would not be able to handle it, and Cousin Lin wished he could send the warehouse with him."

After hearing Wang Xifeng's description, even Mrs. Wang, who is now ashamed, moved her eyes and glanced at Xue Baochai without any trace.Mrs. Wang lowered her head and recited a bodhisattva in her heart, but she didn't know that Xue Baochai could only sigh now, and she knew it well, maybe there is no such rich one, and if nothing else, it is hard to find high-quality rosewood.

Aunt Xue moved her butt, looking forward to the Xia family's dowry, and said with a smile, "This girl probably has the same thoughts when she gets married."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "I just listened to Feng girl's chatter. I don't know how the concubine's family is doing. Tomorrow, she will be ready for makeup. There are still enough people. If you have something to do, just tell Feng girl. Now she is the eldest daughter of the family." I'm in charge."

Wang Xifeng smiled without waiting for Aunt Xue to speak, "I heard that the Xia family is also a wealthy family, and there is only this one girl. Mrs. Xia may have to move the old library here. There is nothing else to prepare for the aunt's house. The empty house is the first I have to clean up a dozen or so rooms, if there are too many dowry boxes to fit, I will be caught blind."

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "I was just about to tell the old lady that the daughters-in-law in this mansion are not as bright and capable as Feng girl, and she is also knowledgeable. When your brother is happy tomorrow, I will be a clumsy person." You're so tongue-in-cheek, your elder sister is a shy girl, and she's just asking someone from the council to make arrangements to entertain guests, and I'd like to lend you a day to help make arrangements."

Jia's mother lied and said with a smile, "It's too late for my aunt to say this. Feng girl was invited by his cousin Lin, and the Lin family is only a family member in this house. It's Lin girl's big happy event. Who We have to show up if we don't come out. Jinyu has always been a sharp-eyed person. I posted a post earlier saying that I want to invite Feng girl to accompany the guests. If you want me to say, Feng girl is sweet and well-behaved. In terms of gentle words, she is still from Zhuer's family Well, she is also a scholarly family who can read and write, and knows the rules the most. If the concubine is too busy, it is good to ask her to help out."

The smile on Aunt Xue's face froze, and Li Wan hurriedly laughed when she heard the word "rule", "Although the old lady values ​​me, my aunt's family is happy, and my widow is unemployed. "

Mother Jia laughed, "I'm confused." She just laughed and got over it.

The date of Lin Daiyu's marriage was calculated by the eminent monks of Zhenguo Temple. On the tenth day of October, which is the time of autumn, Mu Li had already asked for a wedding leave in advance.

According to the rules, the dowry should be carried over one day in advance, and the Dong'an palace has a lot of contacts, and the eight people who are making dowry reminders are all outstanding children of a noble family in Beijing, and they are all good-looking.The Lin family set up a banquet, and these people just brought tea cups and put them down.The Lin family's make-up delivery team set off in a mighty way. First, 36 sets of high-quality rosewood furniture cabinets opened the way, and then 36 sets of quilts and pillows. Hanging and swinging gold and jade jewelry, rouge, gouache, spices and antiques, plus two 76-acre farms, two manors, and six pavements.There are six dowry maids, six nurses, and six servants.

Lin Jinyu thought more realistically, everything was fake, but the money was the real thing, so he gave Lin Daiyu some silver notes at the bottom of the box.

Lin's dowry team filled the whole street with a long queue, the leader had already arrived at Mu's mansion, and there were still people behind who hadn't left the house. They made great noises and attracted many passers-by to watch.Earlier, some people thought that Mu Li was in a panic by marrying an orphan girl. Seeing that the people holding the dowry list were hoarse, they drank three pots of tea and chanted for two hours before finishing the chanting. Well, this Lin family is really not ordinary rich.

In addition to the servants of Mu Li's mansion, the Dong'an Palace also sent countless people to help take care of the guests.The king of Dong'an County also felt that the daughter-in-law here is suitable for marrying. The emperor gave a generous dowry to the brothers to fight for the spirit.The Rongguo Mansion has a lot of people, and it's free for nothing, and the heart of being close to the Lin family is even stronger.On some fat faces, the smile is even more kind, talking with a few close family friends.

Outside was Mu Jiu entertaining the guests, and the butler counted the time to release the silver seals to reward the guests.

The princess of Dong'an and the concubine and others had seen the bride's dowry, and they were secretly surprised that the Lin family was so rich, it was said to be 140 units, but it was more honest, and many large pieces of furniture were carried to Mu's house in advance, not counted.

In the evening Mu Jiu heard the sour tone of the concubine Shizi, and couldn't help but envy Mu Li, not to mention anything else, he really married a rich daughter-in-law.There are so many on the surface, let alone how many private houses there are?The Lin family is so rich, it's no wonder that the Rongguo Mansion couldn't resist reaching out, thanks to Lin Jinyu's ability to hold on.

Lin Daiyu was originally sad because she was married and only her younger brother was left in the house. Seeing that Lin Jinyu was so busy inside and out that she didn't even care about food, she hurriedly gathered up her energy to make supplementary meals for her younger brother, and she put away her sorrow a bit.Princess Nan'an specially stayed until the evening to teach Daiyu some adult things by herself, thinking that the next day would be the real day, and told Daiyu to rest well, because she would be busy tomorrow.

……

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the wind was slightly drunk. Lin Jinyu was quite superstitious and thought it was a good omen.After waking up, she began to entertain guests. At this time, she saluted at night. After the luncheon, Lin Jinyu wanted to go to the inner house to accompany her sister, so she handed over the outside to Wei Ruolan and Jia Lian to take care of her, and went to the inner house.

Lin Daiyu has already put on the red dress, the beaded crown and the xiabei, and the light pink makeup, her bright eyes and a little beaded lips, she looks so beautiful and unparalleled.Even Lin Jinyu, who was used to it, stayed for a long time, mouth open and speechless.Lin Daiyu was very sad. Seeing her younger brother's stupid appearance, she laughed "puchi", poked Lin Jinyu's forehead with her fingertips, and said softly, "Aren't you stupid? Wei Yu, bring me a bowl of hangover soup."

Lin Jinyu came back to her senses, stumbled and sighed, "Brother Mu is really cheap! Sister, could it be that the nine-day fairy has descended into the mortal world?"

"Slick tongue." Lin Daiyu smiled and handed the hangover soup to Lin Jinyu. After Lin Jinyu drank it in one gulp, she asked, "Have the outsiders left?"

"There are Ruolan and Cousin Lian, it's okay." Lin Jinyu took her sister's hand and clicked her tongue twice, very jealous of Mu Li, how could this kid be so lucky to marry his sister.The two sat on the bed hand in hand, Lin Jinyu called Wei Yu and the other four big maids to come over, squinted his eyes and looked at it, and said, "Sister always treats you like sisters, you just Take good care of your sister's body. As for other thoughts such as concubines, put them away! Let me put it away first, whoever dares to dream of a phoenix is ​​afraid that he will fall into the fire and be burned to ashes first!"

The four of them were all shocked, and they agreed in unison. Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "You have to listen to my sister, and just come back and tell me if you have something to do. Take care of my sister, and I and my sister will not treat you badly in the future." , One person rewarded a pair of gold bracelets with two weights to buy people's hearts.

After a while, people from outside came in to report that Mu Li had arrived with a sedan chair, and asked the uncle to go out.Squeezing her sister's little hand, Lin Jinyu got up and went.

Mu Li came again with the eight make-up urgers, met Lin Jinyu, and went to worship the tablets of the Lins and his wife.Mu Liren was born handsome, and he was even more handsome in red. Lin Jinyu was also in purple, half a head shorter than Mu Li. He reached out and patted Mu Li's shoulder, "You have to treat my sister well."

"Don't worry." Mu Li stared straight at the boudoir, his face was a bit festive, not cold at all, he gave Lin Jinyu a bow with a smile, and said, "Little brother, go and hug him out, don't miss it." It's an auspicious time." According to the rules, the bride's elder brother and uncle will carry her into the sedan chair. Lin Jinyu has already practiced and asked Mu Li to say that being fat has its advantages.

Lin Jinyu is not a vegetarian who has practiced fitness boxing for many years, and she is not enough to take care of Xue Pan, let alone hold Lin Daiyu.Lin Jinyu felt sore when he heard Mu Li's words. This is my sister. My sister gave Mu Li a blank look, and insisted on asking for two big red envelopes before going in.

When Lin Daiyu saw her younger brother coming in, her eye circles suddenly turned red, Lin Jinyu hurriedly said, "Sister, I'll just go to stay at a relative's house for three days, and I'll be back right away."

Lin Daiyu touched the teardrops on her eyelashes with a handkerchief, her makeup was not wet at all. The siblings have been dependent on each other for many years. Lin Daiyu is by no means weak in tending the inner house. Thinking about crying makes her brother feel uneasy. He forced a smile, took Lin Jinyu's hand, and reminded him softly, "You have to take care of yourself at home, study hard, and pay attention to your body. I have arranged all the recipes in the kitchen. Remember to eat more."

Lin Jinyu covered her sister with a red veil for playing in the water, leaned over and carried her out, while Mu Li led the way and sent her to the bridal sedan chair.Seeing Mu Li carrying her sister away and drifting away, Lin Jinyu wished she could snatch her back again, and stomped her feet a few times, feeling sore and astringent in her heart.
