Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Li Wan couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, his heart was full of doubts, he hadn't heard any rumors before, why did he suddenly make a decision so quickly?Just looking at Jia Mu's faint expression, no matter how much doubts there are, I don't want to ask more questions, I just smiled and said: "This is a great thing, congratulations to the old lady."

Sister Feng looked at Jiamu's expression not very happy, and hurriedly laughed and said, "Just now I told my sister-in-law that the sisters have left the cabinet, and the family has become more cold. Now it's good, Baoyu and sister Bao are married, hurry up tomorrow." Give the old lady a few great-grandsons and great-granddaughters, and our family will be even more lively."

Mrs. Wang was very happy when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "This is very true, I just hope to borrow your good words from Feng girl."

There was also a smile on Jia's mother's face, she nodded and said: "The younger generation in our family is now only two sisters, Zhi Geer and Qiao Jieer, and it is really deserted."

Thinking that I have been hurting Baoyu for more than ten years, I finally couldn't bear to wrong him, sighed slightly in my heart, and said to Mrs. Wang: "This is Baoyu's lifelong event, and it is also the first marriage in our house in more than ten years. You can't be careless, you You need to be more careful about cooking with Feng girl, and if you need something, just buy it, and you must not wrong Baoyu and Bao girl."

Mrs. Wang was surprised and delighted when she heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Everything is up to the old lady." At that moment, she discussed with Jia's mother about the dowry and other matters, and then asked someone to do Baoyu's clay gold invitation card, and invited the official matchmaker to come to the door on an auspicious day Propose marriage.

Seeing Mrs. Wang leave, Jia Mu sighed deeply. It turned out that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang went to the palace to pay their respects two days ago. It was known that Yuan Chun had been ill for a long time. It was a little worse before, and Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were very worried. After careful questioning, Yuan Chun said that nothing happened, but that she had an occasional cold.

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, but Jia's mother noticed that Yuan Chun's expression was not right, but Yuan Chun refused to say more, and Jia's mother couldn't help it either.

Originally, Mother Jia had always been vague about Baoyu's marriage, and wanted to inquire again to see if there was a suitable family, but now that Yuan Chun had personally spoken, Mother Jia had no choice but to obey.

Fortunately, although Baochai came from a lower background, she has a very good appearance and character. Few people can handle people and things well, so she will be able to help Baoyu more or less in the future.

At that time, everyone in the family knew that Baoyu had married Baochai, and everyone in Jia's mansion came to congratulate him, and Xiren and others also smiled at Baoyu and said, "Congratulations to Second Master, congratulations to Second Master, and I will marry Second Grandma Bao soon."

Baoyu only smiled when he heard this, and read the book without answering. Xiren Sheyue and the others looked at each other, not sure whether he was happy or unhappy, and looked at each other for a while, and dared not say anything more.

But she said that Aunt Xue agreed to Mrs. Wang's marriage proposal, so she called Baochai over, told her the details here, and said, "I have already agreed."

Baochai kept her head down and said nothing, and then she wept.

Aunt Xue looked at Baochai as if she didn't want to, she couldn't help sighing, and said, "My son, I know you are an ambitious person, but you were dragged down by your brother's wickedness and failed the election. Talent and character, even being a princess is enough, but our family is a merchant family. Although it is named as an imperial merchant, it is not in the eyes of those princes and nobles. you.

From the looks of it all the way, Baoyu is the only one who is suitable. You have nothing to say about your basic family status, appearance and character. You have grown up together, and you know each other well. We all know that after passing through the door in the future, your mother-in-law is also a real aunt, so she will not treat you badly no matter what.Such a good family with all four corners is hard to find outside even with lanterns on. "

Baochai belongs to her daughter's family, and she has always been a filial and respectful person. Knowing that her mother has agreed, she can't say anything more, but she is a little depressed after all. After sitting for a while, she goes back to her room, and Baoqin goes to relieve her boredom.

Aunt Xue looked at her daughter's back, couldn't help sighing, turned her head and ordered someone to call Xue Pan, told him the matter, and said: "Tomorrow, I will ask the old in-laws of the Xia family what they mean, and see if the date of marriage can be brought forward. , get your business done earlier so that you can prepare for your sister's business."

Xue Pan had previously agreed that the girl from Osmanthus Xia's family had already passed her engagement, and she was only waiting for another day to get married, so the two of them would be in a hurry when they got together, so they wanted to take care of Xue Pan's affairs earlier, and then take care of the treasures. The hairpin came out of the pavilion.

Xue Pan never ceased to think about Xia Jingui since he met him. After hearing this, he couldn't help but agree, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll go tomorrow morning." Then he hurriedly prepared presents.

Aunt Xue was out of her mind for a long time, then called Xue Biao again, and said, "Your elder sister has already agreed on Baoyu. You should finish the nijingeng post as soon as possible, fill in the eight characters, and send it to the second master Lian, and then Asking about the appointed day, our family will be ready."

Xue Biao was also happy for Baochai when he heard the words, and hurriedly agreed to go.

Now that they are married, Baochai no longer comes to Jia's mansion, and all the things in Hengwuyuan are moved out.

王夫

After discussing with Aunt Xue, I chose the second day of October to celebrate Xiaoding, and the day of welcoming them in person is planned to be in the spring of next year.

Baochai also stopped going out, and only embroidered the dowry in the house, and Aunt Xue, Xue Pan and Xue Biao took care of the rest of the affairs.

In the evening, Baochai went to the house to decide the province, and said to Aunt Xue: "We have lived here for several years. Although my aunt's house is the same as my own, it is a guest after all. Now that my elder brother is getting married soon, I can't get married and I am also a relative." At home, it's not only different in etiquette, but also makes jokes when outsiders see it.

In my opinion, it is better to send someone to clean up our old house. Anyway, the house has only been repaired in the past two years, and all the furniture and furnishings are there, but we can live in it with a little tidying up. "

Aunt Xue bowed her head and thought for a while, then said, "You're right. When your brother's marriage is over, it will be yours and Baoyu's. After all, it's not like leaving the cabinet here. Let's do it. I'll call you Tada in a while." Come here and clean out the house as soon as possible."

The next day, Aunt Xue called Xue Biao over and ordered him to take someone to the old house to tidy up the house.

At the end of September, Xue's house was cleaned properly, so they chose a date, and the whole family moved out of Jia's mansion, Baoqin also moved there together.

Xiangyun returned to Beijing because of Shihou, and Wei's family also set a wedding date, so they also took home; Xing Xiuyan lived with Mrs. Xing after Yingchun got married.Sisters Li Wen and Li Qi don't come here very often because they have talked about their family. They occasionally come with Aunt Li, and they just go to the wives and sisters to say hello, that is, they stay with Li Wan for a day or two before going.

So now there are only Li Wan and Xichun in the garden. Because Li Wan helped take care of Baoyu's marriage, most of the time he lived in the courtyard next to Mrs. Wang's upper room, and Xichun also followed Li Wan, rarely going back to the garden.

Baoyu felt even sicker and listless all day long. Mrs. Wang and others knew that his nature was like this, so they ignored him.

Fortunately, Xiren Qingwen and others are by my side, and they often make fun and jokes, so I am more happy.

Looking forward to the end of the year, Xue Pan married Xia Jingui, Aunt Xue discussed with Mrs. Wang, and set the wedding date of Baoyu and Baochai for the next spring.

On the second day of March, Jia Lian came to see Aunt Xue, invited Ann, and said: "The old lady and the wife have looked through the time charter, and asked someone to calculate it. They all say that March 28 is a good day. Today is called I'll come back to see my aunt, so I'll make the ceremony on that day." As he spoke, he brought the book.

Aunt Xue also said a few words of humility, and nodded in agreement.Jia Lian hurried back to Ming Jiazheng.

Jia Zheng never cared about these things, so he said: "

You just ask the old lady to take a look, don't tell me. " Jia Lian agreed, and went inside to talk back to Ming Jia's mother.

Here, Li Wan and Sister Feng were ordered by Mrs. Wang to send all the gifts to Jiamu for review, and said: "This is gold and bead jewelry, a total of 88 pieces, and 66 sets of heads and faces inlaid with gold and treasures. There are 120 pieces of silk and satin gauze in various colors such as makeup python, duo Lai, and organdy; a total of 120 sets of clothes for the four seasons. In addition, there are 1 antiques and curiosities, 300 calligraphy and painting posts by famous masters, and several gold and silver vessels; Two, there is no goat wine prepared outside, this is [-] taels of silver for the goat wine."

Baoyu is the only son of the second family. Mrs. Wang has always loved her like a treasure, and Su Xi Baochai is stable and peaceful, and she is also her niece. Therefore, the dowry proposed is very generous, including antiques, gold and silver vessels, head jewelry, silk and satin, etc. All very delicate.

After seeing them one by one, Jia Mu nodded and said, "That's very appropriate."

The betrothal gift was drawn up, and the two families chose an auspicious day, so Jia Lian took people to send the betrothal gift to Xue's family.

As the auspicious date approached, Rong Mansion was busy, and there were hundreds of trivial matters a day, so I didn't go into details.

Shan said that on March 28, Baoyu dressed properly, rode a white horse, and went to Xue's house to welcome the bride, surrounded by a group of welcoming teams.

In the evening, the main entrance of the Rong Mansion is opened. From the hallway and the corridors on both sides to the main room of the Rongxi Hall, palace lanterns with embroidered gauze and beads are hung in one color.

After King Beijing came to the Rong Mansion in a sedan chair, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng wore official uniforms and took him outside the gate, and accompanied him to the Rongqing Hall to pay for his stay.The rest of the family and old friends also came in an endless stream, and Jia Zhenjia Lian and others were allowed to sit in each hall.

In Mrs. Wang's courtyard inside, the female relatives of the close relatives who came to congratulate her were greeted.

Feast less stop, customers are arriving one after another.Sister Feng really couldn't sit with her, so Mrs. Wang had no choice but to push You to take care of her, and she made room everywhere.

Because Li Wan is a widow, he wants to avoid some taboos, so it is naturally inconvenient to go there today.

Here, Shi Xiangyun also came to congratulate Mrs. Shi Nai with Mrs. Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing, and then went to Daoxiang Village with Xiuyan.

At that time, sisters Xichun, Li Wen and Li Qi were all there, Xiangyun was very happy, and couldn't help saying: "Today, the sisters have finally got together, but sister Lin and sister Qin are missing."

Xing Xiuyan said: "Sister Bao is out of the pavilion today. Sister Qin is the master, and she has to help at home, so I can't come here."

Xiang Yun said: "That's true, but why didn't Sister Lin come over?"

Li Wan heard the words and said with a smile: "Sister Lin

So my son sent someone to bring a congratulatory gift. She was not feeling well and could not come. "

Everyone was shocked, Xiangyun hurriedly said: "Sister Lin is sick? Does it matter?"

Li Wan pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, it's not a serious illness."

Only then did everyone feel relieved, Xiang Yun saw that Li Wan was smiling without any worry, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled: Sister-in-law and Sister Lin were always on good terms, why this time Sister Lin didn't seem worried at all when she was sick?

He wanted to ask more questions, but Li Wan diverted the conversation, so he had no choice but to let it go.

Li Wan was slightly relieved when he saw that Xiangyun didn't ask any more questions.

It turned out that Daiyu was diagnosed with pregnancy last month. Because the month was still young, it was not rumored. It was not until she was pregnant for three months that she sent someone to tell Mother Jia.

Mother Jia was surprised and delighted. If it hadn't been for Baoyu's marriage, she would have come to visit her in person.

But now only Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng and Li Wan know about this.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang thought that Baoyu was born with some dementia, and grew up with Daiyu since she was a child. Later, when Daiyu came out of the court, Baoyu also fell seriously ill. Pregnant and sick.

Worried that something would happen to Baoyu at this critical juncture, the two decided to hide it together after discussing it. They also asked Li Wan and Sister Feng not to publicize it, and waited until Baoyu got married.

After talking and joking for a while, the sky was getting dark, so Xiangyun asked Xichun, Li Wen and Li Qi to go ahead to watch the excitement.

Xichun shook his head and said: "I just went there, and saw that the wife's room was full of people, and she was really lazy to socialize, so I ran back. If you want to go, go, I won't go."

Knowing that she was withdrawn and not easy to be strong with each other, Xiangyun asked Li Wen and Li Qi, "Are you going?"

The two hesitated for a moment, Li Wan smiled and said, "It's so lively today, follow the sisters over there to have a look, and then come to the garden at night, anyway, I have my fourth sister here as my companion."

While talking, suddenly a little girl was sent by Sister Feng and said: "The auspicious time is coming, Second Grandma invites the girls to go to the front to watch the ceremony."

Xiangyun stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go there." Immediately, he pulled Xiuyan, Li Wen and Li Qi all went to the front, and their respective maids followed, and a group of people left Daoxiang Village.

Because the hall was worshiped at the time of Hai, the arrangement of Rongxi Hall has been completed at this time. The lights are brightly colored everywhere, the furnishings are splendid, and the sound of shengxiao, drums and music is played inside and outside.

Not long after, the auspicious time came for Lin Zhixiao's family to go back and forth.The female relatives came to Rongrong with Baoyu in their arms.

In Xitang, some of them sat in Jiamu's upper room first, and they all came at this time.

The lights in the room are colorful, cigarettes are lingering, and the floor is covered with scarlet embroidered carpets.All the maids supported Baochai out of the sedan chair, and stood side by side with Baoyu to pay homage to heaven and earth.

At present, Jia Mu was invited to come to receive the gift. Jia Mu was full of joy and put aside all the past, but when she thought of Daiyu, she couldn't help being moved, so she had to hold back with a smile.

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. You, Sister Feng and all the elders in the family all postponed seeing each other another day.

After seeing the ceremony in the hall, the way was led by flowers and candles, and all the maids lit up lanterns and played music and sent them to Yihong Courtyard.All the mothers of Jia went back separately, but Xiangyun and her group of sisters came to see them together.After sitting on the bed and spreading the tent, they made a fuss for a while before they dispersed.

After the Three Dynasties, Baochai ordered Yinger to sort out the gifts for Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and everyone, and distribute them according to the number of samples, even Aunt Zhou and Jia Huan.

Mrs. Wang, Suxi Baochai acted prudently, and after a few days asked her to help housekeeper and take care of the housework.

Everyone had expected this, and they were not surprised, but Baochai refused to be professional, and acted cautiously, only helping to take care of some trivial matters, and Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng decided on major matters.

After they got married, Baoyu and Baochai respected each other as guests. When Mrs. Jia Zhengwang saw Baochai often urged Baoyu to study and improve, Baoyu also listened to some persuasion, and they were very happy, so she wanted to ask Baoyu and his wife to move out to live.

Seeing that there were few people in the garden and it was deserted to live in, Jiamu agreed, and asked someone to pack up a cross-yard on the east side of Rongxi hall, and planned to live in it for Baoyu and his wife.

I also want to move Li Wan Xichun and others in, but because of family affairs one after another, there is no time for this.Baoyu was very reluctant again, and now that the weather is getting hotter every day, the garden can still be lived in, so they agreed to wait until autumn before moving.This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Daiyu in this room has been pregnant for nearly four months, and her body is getting heavier day by day.

Pregnancy is hard work, and Daiyu suffered from insufficiency when she was young. Although she was cured by Dr. Zhang later, she is not as healthy as ordinary people. But this year, for some reason, it is very hot in April, which is worse than in previous summers. , Daiyu's appetite became worse and worse, and she couldn't eat much in a day.

Everyone saw it in their eyes, and they were anxious in their hearts. The imperial doctor also looked at it, but it didn't work.

This was originally a normal reaction after pregnancy, no matter how good an imperial doctor is, there is nothing he can do about it, they all say that you should not take too much soup and medicine, you can only pay more attention to your diet and take care of it carefully.

After Daiyu became pregnant, her taste also became weird. Today she wanted to eat egg tofu, tomorrow she suddenly wanted to eat gluten-gluten wolfberry sprouts, and later she wanted to eat fried radish with sauce.

In order to let Daiyu eat two more meals, Gu Zhan almost ran all over the capital, and then he simply asked people to bring all the vegetables in the market every day, and wrote on the water sign, so that Daiyu could pick and eat.

This day, Gu Zhan came back to the mansion on duty, and went back to the room before freshening up. He saw Daiyu wearing a lotus-colored gauze shirt, the same color gauze trousers, and loose trouser legs, resting on the imperial concubine's couch. fan.

The gauze shirt Daiyu was wearing was made of extremely light and soft organdy, but even so, her face was still flushed with heat, her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and her eyebrows were furrowed in her sleep.

Seeing this, Gu Zhan couldn't help sighing, took a handkerchief to wipe Daiyu's sweat, took the round fan from Zijuan's hand and fanned it lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Can grandma have something to eat today?"

Zijuan frowned immediately when she heard the words, and said: "I vomited once when I got up early, and I ate some sour plums to make it better. I finally ate a few mouthfuls of japonica rice porridge for lunch, but I vomited it all up again within half a day."

The author has something to say: Now I am getting more and more forgetful. I was reminded by my friends to remember my birthday tomorrow, and I am one year older...
