[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Someone handed a wishful handle to Lin Daiyu and asked her to hold it. Lin Daiyu quickly let go of the skirt that she had held in her hand before, and took Yu Ruyi with both hands and held it in her arms.

She was nervous herself, listening to the movement outside, so she didn't notice that the skirt of the wedding dress was wrinkled by her.

Mrs. Ying Tianyi, who had been by Lin Daiyu's side all the time, saw it, and smiled quietly to smooth out the folds on Lin Daiyu's skirt.

The elders of the Lin family are gone, and Jia Min and Lin Ruhai are also dead. Aunt Sun and Aunt Li were both concubines who passed through Ming Road, and they were Lin Ruhai's Mrs. Ru. They took care of Lin Daiyu and grew up. Nature is extraordinary.

Now the Lin family is relying on these two Mrs. Ru.Lin Daiyu got married today, and there were a lot of things going on inside and outside the family. With Mrs. Ying Tianyi by her side, Aunt Sun and Aunt Li felt at ease to discuss matters outside.

The group of welcoming relatives rode their horses to the front of Lin's house. Lin Jian and Xiao Yu got off their horses. They all laughed when they saw that it was Princess Yuanjia leading some little princesses and princes blocking the door to beg for rewards.

The tenth prince laughed softly and said, "The relationship between Twelfth Younger Sister and Miss Lin is really good. Two days ago, I saw her go to the upper study room to ask one by one, and even persuaded my father to send a message to the master in the upper study room, so Give them a day off today, so that she can bring her brothers and sisters to Lin's house to stop us from having a lively wedding."

"I, at first I didn't understand why Concubine Yu just let her mess around like this? Seeing this today, my heart is quite open. Ninth Brother, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Twelfth Sister wants to make such a fuss again If not, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the palace, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu glanced at the tenth prince lightly, but he didn't blame him for talking too much at this time.

The welcoming team had already dispersed in front of the Lin family's gate. They were distinguished, and no one was close to them. The tenth prince's words were not loud, and only a few of them heard them.

Xiao Yu sent the tenth prince and the twelve princes up to deal with Princess Yuanjia and the little princess and the little princes. Here, he met Shang Lin Jian's gaze and explained in a low voice: "In a few days, this matter will be resolved." There will be an imperial decree. Now it’s just a verbal agreement between the two families.”

"You are going to get married, and these days are very busy. This is Yuan Jia's own business. I didn't intend to tell you deliberately. I thought that I would know when the imperial decree came down in the future, but since the tenth brother mentioned it, It’s okay to just talk to you.”

"Yuan Jia is going to be engaged to Heng Che. The father, mother and concubine know about it, and they have made an agreement with the Yu family. The matter has also been settled. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the father will give a decree to grant the marriage. The wedding date is set at next spring."

The Hengche that Xiao Yu was talking about was Yu Hengche, the eldest grandson of the Yu family.

Seeing that Princess Yuanjia and Lin Daiyu got along better and better earlier, Lin Jian knew that Princess Yuanjia should let go of her obsession with him, but Lin Jian never thought that Princess Yuanjia would end up with Yu Heng Che is engaged.

Speaking of closeness, Xiao Yu, the prince, is naturally closer to the Yu family.Yu Tingjun is Xiao Yu's grandfather, and Yu Hengche is not only the eldest grandson of the Yu family, but also Xiao Yu's cousin.As for the relationship between Lin Jian and Xiao Yu, he was no stranger to Xiao Yu, his cousin.

The Yu family's scholarly family is the first hairpin family, and Yu Tingjun's sons are all very good. The Yu family's sons take the imperial examination, but all those who enter the official school are awarded Jinshi, and everyone in the family is talented and knowledgeable. People who study the origin.

Yu Hengche, the eldest grandson, is also very outstanding.Although he loves to read at a young age, he has not become a nerd/nerd, he is a gentle, handsome and clever boy.

But the members of the Yu family probably read too much, and the sea of ​​books is vast. If their temperaments are not correct, they will be easily misled by the words in the books, thus changing their temperaments.The members of the Yu family can't help but read, and when the children of the family reach a certain age, they can read any kind of books.

So after years of studying, the members of the Yu family are somewhat upright, like Yu Tingjun is upright, and Concubine Yu Guifei is gentle and dignified even though she is not too upright. Come on.

Yu Hengche has perfectly inherited this disposition of the Yu family.In the words of the Lin family, even the members of the Yu family are too boring.

When he was young, Princess Yuanjia would get angry when she saw fights with Xiao Yu, but occasionally when Yu Hengche came into the palace and saw him, he didn't have any big mood swings. At such a young age, he was the same as Concubine Yu. He took the wound medicine and applied it to Lin Jian and Xiao Yu.

Seeing that Lin Jian was silent, Xiao Yu didn't say much about Princess Yuanjia and Yu Hengche.Anyway, it's still early for the wedding, and the imperial decree hasn't even come down yet, so it's not good to talk too much at this time, not to mention that it's the official day of Lin Jian's wedding, so there's no need to talk too much about these trivial matters.

But in fact, when Xiao Yu first heard about Princess Yuanjia and Yu Hengche, he felt a little unbelievable in his heart.

Princess Yuanjia and Yu Hengche also knew each other since they were young, but Yu Hengche did not enter the palace as the prince's companion like Lin Jian, and the Yu family placed high hopes on this eldest grandson, so Yu Hengche put his studies first. When entering the palace, they always follow the elders into the palace. In fact, there is basically no chance to see Princess Yuanjia alone. The two of them usually meet when the Yu family takes Yu Hengche to greet Concubine Yu. It's just acquaintance, never had a deep friendship.

As for this turning point, it is still because of Lintaiji.

In addition to Lin Ruhai's articles and Lin Daiyu's own poems, Lin Daiyu also wanted to collect articles written by some officials and female relatives in the capital. Her idea was discussed with Concubine Yu, Princess Yuanjia, and the Crown Princess.

It can be said that Princess Yuanjia was also one of the people who witnessed the coming out of Lintai Collection.

Yu Hengche was very interested in Lin Ruhai's articles. When the Lintai collection had just been delivered from Yangzhou to the capital, Yu Hengche thought of a way to pre-order a copy and came back.He read through the complete works, and still had some doubts about Lin Ruhai's article.

His father and grandfather were busy with official duties every day, so he never bothered them. His own husband had quite his own opinions on Lin Ruhai's article, but from Yu Hengche's ears, he felt a little scratchy/itchy after all. It didn't make Yu Hengche feel enlightened again.

Yu Hengche thought of Concubine Yu Guifei.

He knew the origin of Lintai Collection, and also knew that Lin Daiyu had talked about Lintai Collection with Concubine Yu when he entered the palace. He thought that his aunt was also well-read, especially Lin Ruhai's articles, so he asked him His mother took him into the palace and went to Concubine Yu's palace to ask him questions.

It's a coincidence that when Yu Hengche entered the palace, Princess Yuanjia happened to be beside Concubine Yu, listening to Yu Hengche and Concubine Yu talking, she could sit obediently at first, but later, she simply joined the discussion and also I don't know when Concubine Yu Gui stopped talking, but the discussion between Princess Yuanjia and Yu Hengche was in full swing, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

Concubine Yu Gui and Yu Hengche's mother were watching the scene from the side, but they didn't make a sound, and didn't interrupt their communication.

This coming and going, under the connivance of the elders, coupled with the fact that Yu Hengche and Princess Yuanjia share the same knowledge and hobbies and are willing to contact and discuss each other, the two of them gradually became familiar with each other.

The elders really wanted to make a match, but Yu Hengche and Princess Yuanjia didn't have this idea at first. The two of them met and talked together, which was purely an academic exchange and did not involve personal feelings at all.

Princess Yuanjia made up her mind to let Lin Jian go.She has been in contact with Lin Jian the most since she was a child. Later, when she first opened her heart and eyes, she was full of Lin Jian. Unfortunately, her full of affection was not accepted by others. She simply cut off her wrists and took him out of her heart.

Once this person let go of the obsession in his heart, his mind will be broadened, and there will be more things in his eyes.She could only see Lin Jian before, but Concubine Yu secretly asked her maid to call Princess Yuanjia a few times for her marriage. The princess didn't even notice them, and had no feeling for them at all.

After getting in touch with Yu Hengche for a period of time, the two of them not only chatted well, but also had surprisingly similar interests and hobbies. Gradually, Princess Yuanjia discovered that she liked Yu Hengche more and more, and found him more and more beautiful. The two of them often looked at each other and smiled while talking. Occasionally, she said the first sentence, but before she finished speaking, Yu Hengche said the second half of what she wanted to say.

Princess Yuanjia has never met someone who agrees with him so much in his life. Yu Hengche also thinks that Princess Yuanjia is the most intelligent and lively woman he has ever seen in his life. blushing.

All these were seen by Concubine Yu Gui. Since the two of them had intentions in their hearts, the rest of the matter would naturally fall into place.

To say that both Yu Hengche and Princess Yuanjia are of marriageable age, their marriage is scheduled for next spring, and even the imperial decree of marriage will be announced to the world after the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. There are some reasons for this of.

There are many reasons for this. In addition to undertaking Lin Jian's wedding this year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will continue to prepare for the weddings of the remaining princes and princesses, as well as the Empress Dowager's lecture in summer. There are also some things in the palace. Prepared, but these reasons are not the most important. The most important thing is something else, and it is also a major event that the Ministry of Internal Affairs must prepare for.

Xiao Yu winked at the tenth prince and the twelfth prince to go forward to deal with Princess Yuanjia and the little princess and the little princes, but the people blocking the door obviously didn't buy it, and they refused to let them go no matter what.The tenth prince and the twelfth prince had no choice but to turn their eyes to Lin Jian for help.

Seeing this situation, Lin Jian just finished talking with Xiao Yu again, so he walked forward with a smile.He is today's bridegroom, the gate was set up for him, when he came, how could these children let him go so easily?

Princesses and princes can't play around like this in the palace on weekdays. On this day, Princess Yuanjia told them to make the noise as lively as possible, and they all knew Lin Jian. Compared with Lin Jian, they were younger. Naturally, he assigned Lin Jian indiscriminately because of his young age.

The little princesses want to listen to Lin Jian singing, and the little princes want Lin Jian to dance with a sword. They have to satisfy them before letting him go.Everyone in the audience looked at Lin Jian with a smile on their face, wanting to see how the groom official planned to deal with it today.

Lin Jian got married today, and he didn't bring any weapons on him, not even the soft sword that was very convenient to wear around his waist. Hearing the princes' request, he felt that it could be satisfied, so he borrowed Qian Ying's saber. , planning to show them a set of sword skills.

Just as Lin Jian took the saber in his hand, a hand beside him took the saber away from him.

Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu smiled faintly, and unsheathed his sword: "Come alone."

Xiao Yu didn't say the reason why he wanted to perform the sword dance on Lin Jian's behalf. Lin Jian looked down at the big sleeves of his toga and smiled once at His Royal Highness's empathy.

It is very rare to see Lin Jian dancing sword, let alone His Royal Highness the present Crown Prince dancing sword in public, this scene is even more rare.

After performing a set of sword dances, Xiao Yu put the sword back into its sheath, returned the saber to Qian Ying himself, and returned to being the elegant and noble Crown Prince. He smiled slightly at the stunned princesses and princes, and said softly. Said: "If you stop and don't enter, you will miss the auspicious time."

Everyone woke up like a dream. Princess Yuanjia hurriedly took away the little princess and the little princes. Although the little princes didn't see Lin Jian dancing the sword, they saw the prince's brother dancing the sword. The little princesses were a little disappointed.

But when Lin Jian, the tenth prince and the twelve princes distributed the small gifts they carefully prepared to the little princess and the crowd, the little princess looked at the little gift in her hand, and immediately forgot that she was not happy about not hearing the song of Wannan Hou. Surrounded by small gifts, Lin Jian went in together, smiling very contentedly.

Princess Yuanjia also received a specific small gift.

Everyone who came to marry Lin Daiyu today also got specific small gifts.

According to the wedding customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, after the groom enters the door, it is said that he wants to give favors to the people around him.But this rule is not suitable for today.

Although Lin Jian hasn't seen Lin Daiyu these few days, nor has he come to the Lin family's old house, he knows who will come here today to give her a wedding.

Elders like Mrs. Ying Tianyi, royal children like Princess Yuanjia, and relatives of Lin Daiyu like Aunt Sun and Aunt Li, these people are actually not suitable for conferring wedding silver.

Lin Jiansui took great pains to let Qian Ying record everyone's preferences in private, and then asked someone to make specific small gifts for everyone. Xiyin is much more considerate.

Princess Yuanjia looked at the small gift in her hand. At this time, she no longer had any fluctuations in her heart towards Lin Jian, but she deeply felt that Lin Jian really had a heart.No wonder he was able to promote so many schemes in the past half a year. Just looking at how attentive he is to everyone, one knows that today's wedding, even though it was jointly organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the General's Mansion, the groom himself has spent a lot of money. Big thought.

It is actually not easy for a big wedding to make all the participants happy.It can be seen that Lin Jian has such a heart, and it can be seen that Lin Daiyu is extremely valued, and he even puts everyone in his heart, lest everyone in this big wedding will be unhappy.

She thought, Lin Jian should want to give Lin Daiyu a perfect wedding, right?

When Lin Jian arrived in the hall, he saw Lin Daiyu who was surrounded by the crowd and was wearing a wedding gown with her head covered.

Amidst the din of people, as soon as Lin Daiyu appeared, Lin Jian's eyes settled on her.

When the final design of the wedding dress was drawn, Lin Jian had seen it in person, but after the embroidered mother embroidered the wedding dress and sent it directly to Lin Daiyu, Lin Jian never saw it again.At first glance, it was obvious that a great deal of thought was spent on the design and manufacture of the wedding dress. Lin Jian was amazed by the layers of gorgeousness and delicacy just by looking at the pattern.

But when he saw the person wearing the wedding dress, he felt that even though the wedding dress was amazing, it was not as amazing as Lin Daiyu.

Even though he couldn't see the beautiful face that made him yearn for days and nights, just looking at the figure, he was already intoxicated by it for an unknown year.

After nearly a year, he finally married the girl he had been thinking of and became his wife.
