Evening Shaohua in the Red House

None of Baochai and the others left the pavilion, and they didn't need to add too much makeup, and they didn't have a lot of money, so they gave them hairpin rings, jewelry, calligraphy and painting decorations and other things.

Because Du Daiyu was good at playing games in the spring, what she gave was an out-of-print Zhenlong chess record and a pair of exquisite jade chess. The chessboard is made of high-quality rosewood, and the chess pieces are carved from black and white jade, which are crystal clear. , warm and delicate, extremely delicate.

Li Wan felt sorry for Yingchun since she was a child, and now she finally got out of the court and escaped the fate of early death. He was also happy for her, so he deliberately packed a few good things from his body to add makeup: a set of nineteen pieces The golden emerald dot emerald inlaid with rubies on the head is made of extremely thin gold threads into the shape of peony leaves, embedded with rubies, all of which are the size of fingernails, exquisite and unique.

In addition, there are four silks and satins for the top, four gauze for the top, two bright red Dora, two pomegranate red satin, a pair of twisted silk gold bracelets with double dragons playing with pearls, and a pair of mandarin ducks and jasper pendants. Carved from good jasper, the jade is delicate, moist and transparent, and is of great value.

Seeing Yingchun, I am grateful, remembering that all these years in the mansion I have relied on Li Wan's secret donations, and I have taught her how to behave, socialize and housekeeping, and I am more attentive than my brother and sister-in-law. It's an exaggeration, but now she has no foundation, and she has to think about repaying it later.

Early the next morning, Grandma Quan Fu came to the Rong Mansion to cheer Ying Chun, and Dai Yu, Baochai, Xiang Yun and others were all in the room talking with her.

As he said that, someone outside said back and forth: "my aunt's house is sending a make-up reminder, and the sedan chair is coming soon, please prepare it well." Busy to help with makeup.

In this room, Feng Ziying invited Liu Fang, grandson of Duke Xiu, Han Qi, uncle of Jinxiang, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan and other princes and grandsons to Rong Mansion to welcome them in person.

Here Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Jia Rong, and Jia Lan welcome them in. When they arrive at Rongxi Hall, my uncle pays homage to them, and then meets all relatives and friends.

Several banquets have already been held in the main courtyard, and the princes and grandsons who accompanied Uncle Feng are seated, accompanied by Jia Lian, Baoyu and others.

After drinking for five rounds, there was a lot of drums and music outside, and sixteen family members in red came in, carrying eight pairs of palace lanterns, and led colorful sedan chairs into the gate, all the way to the Hall of Rongxi.

Feng Ziying's face was full of happiness, and he ordered people to release the reward, and they all got up to thank the wine and leave.Inside, Yingchun has been groomed and dressed, she is fully dressed, she put on a hijab, bid farewell to Gaotang, and was escorted out by Nunnies Quanfu.

To Rongxi Hall, Jia

Lian carried Yingchun to the sedan chair, closed the sedan door, and everyone went inside.The colorful sedan chair was loaded outside, and the drums and music were loudly carried out of the gate. Jia Amnesty and others sent out the gate, and four family members were sent here to follow them on horseback.

This day the Rong Mansion was full of guests and friends from all generations came to congratulate them, and the banquet lasted until it was time to light the lanterns.

In the evening, after seeing off the guests, Jia Zheng went to Mrs. Wang's room to rest.

After tea, the two sat on the kang and talked. Jia Zheng sighed: "The second girl is married, and the day when my niece will leave the cabinet is about to be fixed. The young master of the Gu family is already a candidate for the second list, and now he is entering the court again." The Imperial Academy really has an unlimited future, and Ru Hai is also blessed to have such a son-in-law who rides the dragon fast."

Mrs. Wang was very displeased when she heard the words, and said lightly: "Everyone has their own fate, and this is also the luck of the eldest girl."

Jia Zheng sighed for a while, and suddenly said: "My niece is about to leave the court, and girl Yun has already appointed the son of the Wei family. I remember that she is younger than the third girl. The third girl is already old enough now, so she should look at her." .”

Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed, and then she smiled and said, "Why didn't I say that? Although the third girl was not born to me, she was raised under my knees as a child. She is no different from her own. It's just that the precious jade on the top has not yet been determined. It's not good for a girl to go past my brother."

Jia Zheng shook his head when he heard the words and said, "It's all right. It's just to see each other first, and it's not about getting married right away. The girl's family has a short flowering period, so there is no delay. Baoyu is a man's family, so don't worry, the old lady makes the decisions."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help feeling depressed when she heard this, and forced a smile and said: "Those people who come to propose marriage are either from a low family background or a shallow foundation, or they are some sons and brothers who are fooling around outside, and the third girl is literate, and it's like this Naturally, one has to find someone with similar talent and appearance to match, and it is really difficult to find such a family at the moment."

It's not that Mrs. Wang made things difficult on purpose, it's just that she has always wanted to find a more prestigious family to marry, so that she can help uncle and nephew Baoyu in the future.

Jia Zheng also sighed when he heard the words, Tanchun's relatives are really high or low, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Although it is said that marrying a daughter is high, but according to my opinion, the third girl is a concubine, and she may not have to be married." For those who are from a high-ranking family, it is better to find a family with a good family background, as long as the other party's family style is upright, the parents-in-law are kind, and the elder brother will do his best to make progress."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said: "The master said it lightly, but I just want to find such a well-rounded family. It's not so easy. I have to find it slowly."

Jia Zheng waved his hands and said indifferently, "I'm not in a hurry right now.

, you just keep it in mind. "

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to agree.

Unaware that the night was getting dark, the two of them washed up, went to bed, and had nothing to say all night.

But Daiyu sent Yingchun out, and wanted to spend two more days with Jia's mother at Jia's house, but Lin Ruhai suddenly caught wind and cold, so she hurried back home.

At that time, Gu Zhan was on duty at the Imperial Academy, and when he heard the news, he hurriedly invited the imperial doctor to come. Fortunately, Lin Ruhai's wind and cold were not too severe this time, but the poisoning hurt his foundation, and now he is over half a hundred years old, which is not as good as when he was young. Strong, this is the lingering for many days.

Daiyu was worried, so she personally served the soup and medicine, and never left her side.

Now that the names of the Gu Lin family have been decided, and the three books and six ceremonies have passed, Gu Zhan, as his son-in-law, often visits and serves soup and medicine.

Ever since Gu Lin's family got engaged, Lin Ruhai has treated this son-in-law as his own son. Seeing how filial he is now, he feels more satisfied, and carefully guides him on how to be an official. teach.

Both of Gu Zhan's parents died when he was young. Although he was taken care of by his grandparents, he felt regretful in his heart. Now Lin Ruhai is as loving as his own father.

Daiyu was very happy about this, and secretly thought that she had read the right person.

After seven or eight days of recuperation, Lin Ruhai had just recovered, and Daiyu was relieved.

Looking forward to April 26th, it is Baoyu's birthday, and Baoqin, Xiuyan and Ping'er are also on the same day. Li Wan Tanchun and others gathered together and set up a few banquets in the Hongxiang Nursery of Shaoyaolan, which was very lively Once.

Daiyu was still feeling unwell due to the wind and cold a few days ago, so she didn't stay long, and gave the four prepared gifts, took her leave after a feast and went back.

The next day, Ping'er returned to the banquet, and invited Sister Youshifeng again, and set up several tables of new wine and delicacies in Yuyin Hall.

When the wine was hot, everyone joked, picked a peony, and ordered the daughter-in-law to beat the drums, and everyone passed the flower as an order. When it was lively, a servant from Ningfu suddenly came to report, saying that Jia Jing was in Xuanzhen Guanfu Dan The day of the drug funeral.

Everyone was shocked, Youshi hurried back to the mansion, Li Wanfeng hurriedly took away the banquet, and sent someone to tell Mrs. Jia Muwang and others.

While Jia Zhen and others were taking care of the funeral, they sent people to report to relatives and friends.

Lin Ruhai was playing chess with a friend in the study today, and he couldn't help being surprised when he heard the news, so he hurriedly changed into plain clothes, and brought Daiyu to Daowei.

At this time, Jia Jingye had already packed up and parked in Tiekan Temple. Because of the hot weather today, Jia Zhen was worried that the corpse would rot, so she ordered Tian Wensheng to choose the nearest date for encoffining, and then ordered someone to invite him

Monks and Taoists, arrange legal affairs to transcend.

Afterwards, all the old families in Beijing and Jia's family came to express their condolences. Emperor Qingde recited the meritorious service of the ancestors of Ningfu, and made a decree to posthumously confer the post of fifth rank on Jia Jing, and ordered Guanglu Temple to offer sacrifices according to the above regulations. The following is also allowed to sacrifice.

After this decree, not only the people in Jia's mansion thanked him, but also all the ministers in the court shouted and praised him endlessly.

Jia Jing's coffin was not buried until July 49, and the coffin was parked in Tiekan Temple. After a hundred days, he helped the coffin to return home.

It was already July at that time, and it was the festival of melons and fruits. Daiyu prepared some fresh melons, fruits and silk snacks, and sent people to deliver them to each family.

It happened that Mrs. Gu was talking with Yan Hui that day, and she was very happy when she heard that Daiyu had sent someone to bring melons and fruit snacks. There are a lot of fresh cherries sent outside, you pick some good ones, and then look at the silk gauze and fresh snacks, pack them up and send them to Yu'er."

It turns out that the Feng family has been working with her husband Gu Feng in Changzhou for many years. It was not until March this year that Gu Feng returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and then he was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The family returned to Kyoto.

In the past, most of the affairs of the Gu family were taken care of by the housekeeper's wife, and only the big ones were reported to Mrs. Gu. Now that Gu Feng's family has returned to Beijing, as the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Feng has taken back the right to be the housekeeper. She cooks.

Upon hearing this, Feng agreed, and said: "Don't worry, the old lady, she has already ordered someone to tidy up, ordered the kitchen to make some exquisite pastries, and found a few pieces of gauze that was previously rewarded in the palace. Added incense beads, round fans, and purses."

Mrs. Gu nodded, but she was still a little dissatisfied. After thinking about it, she ordered Qiu Ju, the maid next to her, "Go and find the ruler head of Xi Xiangluo that the Empress Empress rewarded."

Qiu Ju agreed to go.

Yan Hui smiled and said: "I heard that this Qianxiang Luo is a tribute from the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom. It is worn in summer, and the skin is fragrant without sweat. It's just too rare, there are only seven or eight horses in total, and there are only seven or eight horses in the harem. The empress got two horses, and when our old lady entered the palace, the empress also rewarded one."

Mrs. Gu nodded and said with a smile: "This material is really rare. It is soft and smooth, and the color is bright. It is just right for a little girl. I am so good at it. It's a pity that I keep it for nothing. It's better to make clothes for Yu'er."

While talking, Qiu Ju has already taken the ruler head, holding it carefully on a tray.

Feng couldn't help but take a closer look, only to feel that it is softer than bright gauze, smooth and soft, the color is like the sunset glow, and the fragrance of lotus is refreshing, even though it is hot in the heat

I don't know it's hot.

In the past six months, she has seen how much Mrs. Gu loves Daiyu, but she never thought that she would even be willing to give away such a precious Qianxiangluo, but she and her two children have not touched a single bit of it. Secretly complaining that the mother-in-law is partial to outsiders, and the grandchildren are left behind.

Mrs. Gu's eyes were clear, she saw Feng's expression clearly, she couldn't help but sighed secretly, although this daughter-in-law was a bit spoiled at first, she also knew how to behave, she didn't expect that she had grown older these few years, Her temperament became more and more left-handed, and she was already a mother-in-law, but she was still so shallow-sighted, and she wanted to be sharp and strong in everything, and she was a little bit petty.

Just as she was about to type a few words, a girl suddenly brought up several colored and thin melons and fruits. Feng Shifang came back to her senses, quickly collected her thoughts, and first honored Mrs. Gu.

Old Madam Gu sighed and had no choice but to swallow her words.

Feng Shi smiled at Yan Hui who was at the side: "This is a new trick that the kitchen just came up with. It's sweet but not greasy. My aunt will try it too."

Yan Hui smiled slightly, and said: "Thank you, sister-in-law." She had no close friendship with Feng Shi, and just now she saw that she was quite critical of Daiyu, and she was unhappy, so she was not very warm.

Seeing that their aunt and nephew were very affectionate, Mrs. Feng felt like an outsider herself, and felt more and more uncomfortable. After a few words, she found an excuse to back down.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu couldn't help shaking her head secretly, and sighed: "It's still like this at such an old age!"

If it wasn't for the death of her mother-in-law, Princess Yong'an, she would never have agreed to this marriage.

Yan Hui was not easy to say, she quickly changed the subject with a smile, but she couldn't help worrying about Daiyu. Although Feng Shi is the aunt in the next room, she is the head mother of the Gu family, and they will live under the same roof. Well, Feng's temperament is such that Daiyu will inevitably be wronged.

But she said that Feng's heart was not in a good mood, and when she entered the room, she saw her daughter Gu Ling leaning on the imperial concubine's couch reading a book, and she couldn't help complaining: "You're about to be trampled on the head, you still have the mind to sneak around here!"

Gu Ling managed to steal half a day's leisure from Fusheng, when she saw her mother walking in with a sullen face, she couldn't help sighing, put down the scroll in her hand, and said, "Mom, what's the matter, who made you so angry again?"

Feng snorted coldly, told the whole story, and said: "Tell me, you haven't passed the door yet, and you are so spoiled like this. Even your grandsons and granddaughters are far behind. If you really entered the door, you just I'm afraid I won't even have a place to stand!"

Only then did Gu Ling know the reason, she couldn't help sighing, and said helplessly: "Mom is too willing to get angry, what a big deal, it's just a piece of material, what's more

It was originally given to the old lady by the empress, and she will give it to whichever one she likes, and it is worth it. "

Mrs. Feng might as well have her daughter say these words, she turned her back angrily when she heard the words, and said through gritted teeth: "Is it me that you were born? All towards outsiders!"

Gu Ling is well aware of her mother's temperament. She has been used to being flattered outside these years. It is inevitable that she is left-handed. She is a daughter, so she can't say anything, so she can only sigh: "I am a helper, not a relative. Ten fingers There is still a difference in the head, we have been in office with our father for seven or eight years, and we have never shown much filial piety to our grandparents. The second elder brother was raised by his grandparents himself. How can this kind of affection be compared?

Furthermore, the second uncle and the second aunt passed away early, and the second brother had a hard life, so the old lady inevitably felt more partial.

Thanks to the fact that the second elder brother had been married to his grandparents all these years, the old lady loves the house as much as possible, and the elder sister of the Lin family has such a character, it is only natural that she should feel a little bit more pain. "

Feng's liver hurts when she heard the words, but she also knew that her daughter's nature was so eloquent, she couldn't argue at all, so she could only poke her forehead fiercely, and left angrily.

Gu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look at the people in the room, and said in a cold voice: "This matter is not allowed to be spread outside the public, if you let me know who is gossiping outside, I will never let you go!"

Everyone's heart trembled, and they hurriedly agreed.

The words were divided into two parts, but Lin Ruhai said that because of Jia Jing's death, he thought that his body was not as good as before, and that he was old and weak, and feared that his life span would be limited. Unfortunately, once Daiyu dies, Daiyu will be delayed for another year.

Anyway, Gu Zhan is very satisfied with his son-in-law, so he might as well send his daughter out of the court as soon as possible, and settle his own worries.

So Lin Ruhai thought it over and over again, and finally let Gu Zhan know.

Gu Zhan couldn't wish for this, so he went back and told his grandparents. The two elders were very happy, and they asked someone to do a fortune-telling. There are only two auspicious days in the near future, one in August, one in October, and One in December.

The time in August was too short, and after October was the cold winter, so the two families discussed it and decided to set the appointment date on September [-]th and the date of personal reception on October [-]th.

Mother Jia soon got the news. Although she was very sad, she was also happy for Daiyu. On the same day, she ordered Yuanyang to open the storehouse and retrieved many good things from her body to make Daiyu a dowry.

Today is Jia Amnesty's birthday, and Daiyu came to celebrate her birthday.

Taking Daiyu's hand, she went back to the upper room, screened everyone away, and said to Yuanyang, "Bring the things I packed up yesterday to Yu'er."

Yuanyang agreed, then turned around and ordered someone to bring in a gold-painted box.

Opening the box, there were boxes of various sizes inside.

The mandarin ducks were opened one after another, and the room was filled with dazzling flowers. It turned out that the boxes were full of jewels and jades of various colors, including top-grade pigeon blood stones, large blue-green gemstones, cat's eyes, agates, and several boxes filled with small and exquisite gemstones. Antiques, calligraphy and paintings of famous artists and other rare treasures.

Jia Mu then opened a small box with carved pears and flowers, which was wrapped with a small brocade burden. When she opened it, she found a pair of extremely delicate and unique gold inlaid earrings with oriental pearls. Under the ring, there is a five-petal flower-shaped pendant cover made of silk, with screws in the middle, strung up and down. There is a plum-shaped receptacle at the bottom, and two longan-sized east pearls are embedded under it, which is smooth, round, even and full.

Mother Jia smiled at Daiyu, "I got this when I gave birth to your uncle. The old lady was so happy to have a grandson, so she rewarded me with this pair of oriental pearl pendants."

After finishing speaking, he opened another small and exquisite rosewood carved mother-of-pearl jewelry box, which turned out to be a set of golden silk dotted emerald emerald inlaid sapphire head and face, the body of the hairpin is red gold, and the hairpin handle has three layers of golden emerald silk dotted emerald lotus holders, the first layer is covered with lotus. The second layer is a pearl inlaid on the lotus, and the third layer is a sapphire inlaid on the multi-layered lotus.

Embedded with rubies, tourmalines, emeralds, corals, pearls and other jewels.The flower hairpins are decorated with the word "囍" wearing coral beads, diancui ruyi, diancui bats, diancui streamers, etc., implying good fortune and longevity for all generations.The flower hairpins are intricately crafted and the materials selected are expensive, which is truly ingenious.

Jia Mu said: "This pair is my dowry. It was made by a very famous goldsmith at that time. When I was a girl, my old man saw it was cheap and only gave him 850 taels of silver to buy it. Now it is There is nowhere to find money." Then he patted Daiyu's hand, and said in a warm voice: "I have enjoyed enough blessings from the great-grandson's wife to the old Fengjun, I hope you will be like me in the future."

The author has something to say: In the original book, the old concubine passed away in spring, so this article has been changed a bit.

ps: Personally, I think that although Mother Jia is a little selfish, she really loves Daiyu. I don't know why so many people hate her on the Internet.
