The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

The emperor issued an order, but Jiang's heart was not very willing, and on the surface he had to thank the emperor happily.

In fact, to be honest, Miss Kong's family is still lowly married!

The Kong family had met Lin Hai, but the Lin family had never met Ms. Kong, so they waited for the Lin family to celebrate Lin Hai High School's grand feast, and Madam Kong led Miss Kong to come!

It stands to reason that both of them are legally unmarried couples, and Ms. Kong should not come to the Lin family before she gets married, but no one in the Lin family has seen this Ms. Kong, and the ceremony of Xiaoding has not yet left, so although Somewhat out of line but still passable.

Wearing a light red skirt, wearing a pair of butterfly jade hairpins on her head, she is as graceful as flying, and the pearl earrings shine roundly in the bright sun.The skin is better than snow, the face is delicate and unparalleled, and the posture is soft and natural, she is definitely an alluring beauty.

This is the first impression Miss Kong gave to everyone.

Standing together with Lin Hai with this appearance, it is definitely the appearance of a man and a woman. Lin Hai's eldest aunt, Mrs. Zhang, quickly teased Mrs. Jiang how lucky she is to have such a daughter-in-law.

Looking at the beautiful and beautiful Ms. Kong, the Jiang family didn't dislike her too much. His own son wanted to marry the best girl. If it wasn't for the poor treatment of the consort of the Feng Dynasty, the Jiang family would still want Lin Hai to marry a princess. Princess daughter-in-law!

Asking Lin Qianyu to lead Miss Kong to the garden, Jiang received Madam Kong with a smile on her face.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about the narrow-mindedness of literati in this era!In ancient times, there were many names for women and young girls who had not left the court. For example, in the Song Dynasty, women who were not out of the court were called "a certain lady". In the Feng Dynasty, since the founding of the country was less than a hundred years old, there were many Gongyun families. , Of course, there are also many civil servants.

In order to show the difference of their own family, the literati call them 'Madame' and 'Miss'.And the meritorious family is "wife" and "girl".The first time Lin Hai heard the servants calling Jiang and Sanyu, he was surprised. Later, when he knew the reason, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

For the literati, the mind is smaller than the eye of a needle, this is the first time Lin Hai has seen it!

Because Yan Shenggong also came to the door, when the news came, some people who were not prepared to come also came with gifts, which made the Lin family busy for a while.

A group of people ate, drank and played all day, and the Lin family finally calmed down when the moon was already hanging on the treetops.

As soon as Lin Hai entered the door, he saw Jiang's smug face.So he joked: "What kind of elixir did my mother take today, I can see how young I am for many years!"

Jiang stared at him before saying: "Nonsense, no matter how I dress up your mother, I can't compare to a teenage girl."

"How can it be!" Lin Hai said in a doggy manner: "Mother, you are in the prime of your life! How can those little girls compare?"

Jiang Shi heard it funny, but still half-jokingly patted Lin Hai on the head, and scolded: "Where did you learn these accents? It's really inappropriate!"This son gave him too much face.

"My son was really wronged, but he wanted to please his mother and said a few pleasant words, but unexpectedly, it became disrespectful!" Lin Hai pouted aggrievedly.

Jiang said with a smile: "Look, you are such a big man, you are about to get engaged, and you are acting like a baby!"

Lin Hai blushed.Although he and his girlfriend did what they should do in the previous life, they also did what they shouldn't do.But the real marriage is when the big girl gets on the sedan chair—the first time!

Jiang looked at Lin Hai's little red face, which was hard to see in a hundred years, and continued to joke: "But I have a daughter-in-law before that time, forget about mother!"

"How is this possible?" Lin Hai smiled as he said, "It is the son who forgot about you, isn't there still the father? No way, it was the mother who forgot about the son first!"

"Fuck you..." Jiang said with a smile.

Waiting for Master Lin and Jiang to rest in bed at night.The Jiang family took the initiative to bring up this matter, "Although Mrs. Kong expressed her intention to keep her daughter until Ji Geng's time. But since this matter has been settled, I thought, let's find a day to go to Confucius's mansion." How do you decide?"

"It's fine for Madam to decide this matter. Don't worry, I have already sent someone to inquire. The Miss Kong family is also a virtuous and virtuous woman, and she will definitely be Haier's good wife in the future." Mr. Lin has heard about Yang's and Jiang's overt and secret actions. To him, the Kong family is a very good in-laws, because the Kong family will never be tabooed by the emperor.

Although the Lin family also has background, it is still far behind the Kong family. Besides, the Kong family has three generations. Just such a daughter, if it is not in accordance with the rules, is really more precious than the princess. Master Lin Although I knew it, I never thought about it before, but I didn't expect it to be a pie in the sky now!

Traditional Chinese customs have the etiquette of "three six rituals" and "three knocks and nine bows". "Tong Kao of the Five Rites" once said that since the later Qi Dynasty, regardless of the emperor and the common people, weddings are called "acceptance on the one hand, Xiang Ming on the other, auspicious luck on the third, levy on the fourth, request for a date on the fifth, and welcome in person on the sixth." 'This is the six stages of ancient weddings, commonly known as 'six rituals'.

Because the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, the first acceptance and second bestowal were also avoided, and other necessary etiquette and procedures still had to be done.

Then there is Najib, which is the etiquette of informing the woman of the good news of divination and marriage after asking her name.Also known as 'covenant'.This is the main ritual of the engagement stage.According to the ancient customs, geese are used as a rule as a token of a confirmed marriage.Later, it developed to use rings, jewelry, colored silk, gift cakes, gift incense candles, and even sheep and pigs, so it is also called order or fixed engagement.

After Jiang asked a master to calculate the date, he went to the Kong family to make a decision!

If you say that Yan Shenggong is a bit bigger than the average person, he also has a house in the capital, and the scale is not small. Although he may not live in it a few times in a few years, it is basically empty, but I was stunned that no one had any idea about this house.

In fact, after figuring it out and meeting each other again, the Jiang family is not so resistant to his future daughter-in-law!This time it was decided, not only one or two families came to visit, all the famous and famous families in the capital came to make fun of it!

On the same day, Miss Kong appeared in front of everyone wearing jingle bells, a light gait, and a charming smile.I saw her wearing a phoenix ruyi shirt with eight treasures, a rich and noble skirt surrounded by auspicious clouds, and an auspicious circle of pearls on her neck. A bright and blooming peony bloomed in her hair. The long bead chain, in action, brilliance shines, looks bright, makes her more bright and charming, graceful and graceful.

It really made the ladies praise and praise.

Jiang's gift is also very powerful, because this is not just the face of the Lin family. Apart from the exchange of marriage certificates, half of the dowry will be carried to the woman's home.

The dowry Jiang's prepared this time was fifty levies. Generally speaking, the bride would add 120% of the dowry given by the man as the dowry for the daughter. The Lin family gave half of the dowry this time, and the total added up was [-] levies.According to the custom, Ms. Kong will have a dowry of [-] liters in the future, which is just on the edge of the rules, and it also meets the regulations of the state for marrying a daughter.

And Jiang's dowry gift for the press box was a mutton fat white jade Ruyi, the mutton fat white jade is the best among jades, very precious.It not only symbolizes the gentleman's virtue of "benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and cleanliness", but also symbolizes the secular emotions of "beauty, nobility, auspiciousness, gentleness and tranquility".And Ruyi also has the meaning of: everything goes well, peace and happiness, and wishes for auspiciousness.

Jiang's gift to Ms. Kong is a hairpin of golden silk inlaid with rubies, double Luan and red coral.

Hairpin, also known as scratching the head, is a common token of love for ancient women.It also symbolizes the dignity of the 'main room'. "Advocating Songs and Lyrics Thinking" describes a woman who carefully crafts a hairpin for her lover far away. After hearing that her lover has another love, she burns the hairpin and "discharges its ashes in the wind", expressing her determination not to be a mistress .

As the saying goes, "Towards nobles and nobles, they read people all the time" explains the orthodoxy and nobility represented by red and purple.The coral ancients believed that it was an auspicious jewelry that could prevent disasters and give people wisdom.

In short, Jiang's decision made the Kong family very satisfied.

Jiang took Miss Kong's hand, more and more satisfied, and said a few words of praise, which made Miss Kong blush, but thanked her generously.

Then Mrs. Jiang personally put on the golden silk inlaid ruby ​​double luan and red coral hairpin on Miss Kong's dark bun.Ms. Kong was full of the grace and demeanor of a noble lady. Wearing that hairpin, not only did she not be overwhelmed by the guests, but she was even more radiant. The people present were even more amazed. Some of them were familiar with Jiang. Jokingly, even Dao Jiang is very lucky that such a fairy concubine is about to become her family's daughter-in-law.

Ms. Kong received a small engagement gift, so she naturally needed a gift in return, but it was nothing more than four-color needlework.

Jiang looked at it for a while, then nodded inwardly.Naturally, the Lin family does not need the master to do much sewing by himself. Like the Jiang family, it is rare to do sewing throughout the year. There are also fewer small things to do. Being the mistress of the house, what you want is to host the middle class.

After all, there are still so many embroiderers in the mansion, if you really want to be a serious master to make clothes, it will be unseemly and lose the face of everyone.From the perspective of the Lin family's family background, Miss Kong's rules and etiquette are more important.

In this way, Xiao Ding could be regarded as a complete success, Jiang babbled a few more words, and then left with the guests who came to watch the ceremony.
