[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

At this point, if Shen Yue still doesn't know that he was set up by Lin Ruhai, then he can wash up and sleep by himself - he didn't listen to his suggestion at all, and secretly prepared a dowry for his daughter, just waiting to see himself embarrassed!

But Shen Yue could only watch, and now he couldn't enter Lin's house, nor could he write a letter to explain to Daiyu, so he had to hurry up to make the final finishing touches to the new house, and ordered the flower house to hurry up to send out all kinds of water lotus, and let the fifth prince urge The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent all kinds of needlework in the new house, and had to go to relatives' homes to persuade them to lend him four or five-year-old boys and girls...

He wants to occupy his time with various trivial matters, so as not to think about how he will face Lin Ruhai's anger.He also knows that as long as there is a little mistake on his side, he will have a good life when he returns home in three days.

Mrs. Fang doesn't care about other things. When it comes to borrowing other people's children, Fang always asks: "I only heard of letting boys press the bed, but I never heard of asking girls to do anything. You have to get the people out first." Please go to the mansion, if those children admit their birth and cry, how about a happy day?"

What Shen Ren was concerned about was another matter. He gave all his private houses over the years to his eldest son: "I heard that your father-in-law suddenly prepared a dowry again. This dowry is absolutely necessary."

Shen Yue could only smile wryly: "Master, you have hidden so many private houses. My wife must know that I added it to the dowry. Why don't you take the initiative to hand it over to your wife."

Shen Ren suddenly changed his face: "Who am I doing this for?"

Shen Yue had no choice but to tell him: "Master, think about it, no matter whether my husband prepares a dowry for Yu'er or not, the princes have already added a lot of dowry, and the empress has to give out a single dowry, which is no less than the dowry of the princes." Dowry. This dowry is twice the usual dowry, so I can’t talk about it long ago.”

On the day when the dowry was posted, Shen Ren really understood why the eldest son said that the rule that the dowry is twice the betrothal gift cannot be justified.

It can be seen that the Lin family tried their best to fill up the dowry and save some money, in order to prevent Daiyu's dowry from surpassing the dowry of Li Shi who had already entered the house.A few antiques from the other family can be counted as one load, and the Lin family’s antiques are counted according to the box. The other family’s cloth always has to be carried six times, but the Lin family’s cloth only has two loads in total, so as to save space for other valuables.

Not only the quantity of the items is astonishing, but also the quality is astonishing. The first lift of the head is a pair of eight treasures awarded by the queen mother in the palace, the second lift is a pair of jade vases awarded by the sage, and the second lift is a pair of jade vases awarded by the Lin family. The bricks and tiles that the girl prepared to represent the fields and the house were too many bricks and the tiles were thicker.

Don't look at the box of silver, just look at the blinding jewels and jades, the boxes of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and some people guess whether the Lin family has given out half of the family property as a dowry.

And in the middle, except for the two lifting of the head, there is nothing in the palace.Shen Ren listened to the dowry list being read for an hour before he heaved a sigh of relief, but he heard another burst of firecrackers from outside, and another Babao Ruyi was brought in from outside!

The steward who read the dowry list was about to cry, hadn't he already read it once, why did he give him another copy?Only after Shen Ren asked did he know that the dowry prepared by the empress for the righteous daughter-in-law was sent directly from the palace. It was the same as what the Lin family prepared for the girl. It was as big as furniture and as small as a complete set of children and grandchildren barrels!It means that after the girl from her own family marries into her husband's family, she doesn't need to be supported by her husband's family, and her mother's family is all ready!

In the end, Shen Ren was almost unable to stand still, so he listened to the steward finish reading the dowry list sent from the palace, and told Shen Yue to let people look at him, and then he went back to his room to tidy up his private house, and asked Fang Shi The bus went.

With so much dowry for the eldest son and daughter-in-law, it is difficult to find the daughter-in-law of the second son and the youngest son, so we can only prepare more dowries.

Xueshi Shen, who had already been honored as a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, said to Shen Chao after hearing the report: "Go back and explain to your wife more, Yu'er is the righteous daughter of the middle palace, so there is no need to compare." Then he said to Shen: " Tell your daughter-in-law, hurry up and send someone out to buy ingredients, I'm afraid there won't be enough noodles for tomorrow's banquet."

Shen Yue is not worried about this, now he is watching the rehearsal of the four little flower girls, two men and two women, and seeing that they sprinkle flowers in a decent way, he took out four little yellow ducks and handed them to the children without hesitation: " Let’s spread it like this tomorrow, and don’t stop when you don’t reach the place, do you understand?”

Shen'er pinched the little duck and quacked: "Second Uncle, I want another one."

Whose child is this? Shouldn't I help my uncle abduct other children at this time? Why are you taking the lead in asking for things?Shen Yue had no choice but to promise to those little eyes who were staring at him eagerly: "Don't worry, as long as you are still as good as today, each of you will give two more."

Shen'er took care of her own little fingers, got one yesterday and one the day before yesterday, plus today's and tomorrow's two, there are five in total, all for her aunt and sister.After calculating it clearly, Shen Yue gave Shen Yue a big smirk: "Don't worry, Second Uncle, we are more attentive than today."

Whether they put their heart or mind into it, the more they can’t guarantee it, he himself used 180 hearts: the new house has already been tidied up according to his wishes. Just wait for Daiyu to marry tomorrow.

With such sweet thoughts in mind, Shen Yue writhed for a while before falling into a deep sleep.But after sleeping for a while, Shuang'an came to shake him: "Second Master, the time is coming, so I can get up and say goodbye to the old master and the old lady. "

Putting on the bright red auspicious clothes, Shen Yue didn't feel stupid at all, he was more energetic, more like a handsome young man.

Shuang'an muttered for a while before persuading him: "Today is the day of the second master's great joy, and the servants are also happy for the second master, but the second master's smile, let's put it down, or the young masters will make fun of the second master soon. Grandpa." This laugh was a little too silly.

Shen Yue was not annoyed at being made a joke by a servant, and rewarded Shuang'an with a silver key: "Shut up."

If there is money to take, I still got it from the second master, which successfully made Shuang'an shut up.But as Shen Yue walked towards the second gate, Shuang'an spoke again: "Second Lord has a lot of people to take with him today, and the coat color of this horse may not be neat."

"Isn't it just our brothers?" Shen Yue was a little puzzled. There were only two other people's best men, but there were four unmarried brothers who were married to him. It's hard for Shuang'an to find out from where five bay red horses, so that Shen Yue's siege can be solved.

Shuang'an's face was bitter: "Princes six, seven, eight, and nine sent letters yesterday, and they want to go with the second master to welcome their relatives."

It's almost trouble!Your four princes are going to welcome their relatives. Will Lin Ruhai bow down when he sees the princes?People block the door or not block the door, difficult to kiss or not difficult to kiss? !

"Yes, the sage agreed, and he also greeted Mr. Lin, as long as we treat each other as relatives and friends." Seeing that his master's face had changed, Shuang An hurriedly explained.

Well, with these words, Shen Yue can rest assured, but when he bid farewell to Bachelor Shen, the old lady and others, he reminded: "The four unmarried princes will go with me to welcome the newcomers, and I am afraid that other princes will also come to welcome the new year." Come to the house to congratulate me."

Bachelor Shen nodded knowingly: "Got it, are you preparing well?" I shouldn't have listened to Lin Ruhai, why didn't he prepare a dowry for the child, and he didn't have to worry about the wedding. together.However, Bachelor Shen also knew that Lin Ruhai was discussing with him like that, so he was testing the Shen family's attitude towards Shen Yue. If he really wanted to help, there were plenty of ways to close the door.

As my own grandfather, I really let go of the wedding, it is not as good as Lin Ruhai for his grandson.

This is the first time that Xueshi Shen asked Shen Yue about the preparations for the wedding. Shen Yue smiled and nodded to Shen Xueshi: "The mats are prepared with flowing water. The guests take their own food, and the ingredients are all ready. I invited the two of the Fang family." The cousin and elder brother welcome the guests together. The women in the inner courtyard are greeted by the mother."

Shen Xueshi was about to reprimand Shen Yue for how he could serve a guest to take food by himself, when he remembered that he was not allowed to follow the orders of one person in the mansion. If there is no one to serve, shouldn't he have to take it by himself?But seeing Mrs. Liu nodding to him, presumably this self-indulgence would not cause confusion, Xueshi Shen suppressed his own sigh.

With Lin Ruhai's attempt, his grandfather is no longer qualified to point and point in front of Shen Yue.

"Your father and uncle will welcome guests by themselves. When the princes arrive, I will also greet them at the gate of the house. Don't worry." Even if he couldn't give advice, Xueshi Shen calmly made the arrangement that he could remedy.

The smile on Shen Yue's face showed gratitude: "Thank you, grandfather." Then he bid farewell to the elders again, and waved to the brothers vigorously: "Let's go!"

Brother Xun's four are all wearing the same sapphire blue embroidered auspicious cloud robes today, and they all wear small jade crowns on their heads. The hairpin heads of the hairpin jade crowns are all tied with red velvet, and they look extremely festive.The jade belts around the waists of the several children are exactly the same, and even the purses and jade pendants on the waists are indistinguishable.Hearing Shen Yue's greeting, the four of them stood behind Shen Yue together, and the five of them bowed to the elders in unison. The scene was shocking.

After the brothers went out, Xueshi Shen said to Liu Shi: "This robe is well made, the eldest daughter-in-law has a heart." Shen Jiaerlang walked out the door, so neat and decent.

Liu said with a smile on his face, "It's all done by Yue'er, my daughter-in-law dare not be greedy for credit."

Xueshi Shen paused again: "You also watch the banquet for him." Mrs. Liu agreed not to mention it.

Here the Shen Yue brothers came out of the second door, and the four princes have also arrived. They are all wearing light yellow robes. What's wonderful is that they have the same auspicious cloud pattern embroidery as the Shen family brothers, but the jade belt is the best Hetian jade, which is better than Shen Yue's. Brothers are better.

The Ninth Prince, who was most familiar with Shen Yue, did not wait for Shen Yue and the others to salute, and said to their brothers with a smile: "There is no need to be too polite, we are all welcoming relatives today, so there is no need to stick to such common etiquette."

The eighth prince was also in good spirits. Seeing Shen Yue looking at his brother's clothes in confusion, he explained to him: "We asked Brother Fifth, and we know what clothes Mr. Shen made for your brother." After explaining the homework, the eighth prince knew that Shen Yue's success was not a fluke, and he was convinced by this sir.

The six and seven princes were more stable, and they nodded to the four little brothers of the Shen family as a greeting, and after getting together, they went to the gate of the mansion together.

The red sun had already risen in the east, and the nine handsome horses were held by the servants, snorting from time to time.Seeing them leaving the mansion, no matter whether it was the servants or the horses leading the horses, they all raised their heads. Shen Yue pleaded guilty to the princes, and flew on the first horse: "Today he is the bridegroom, and the first horse Do your part.

The youngest, Nege, was put on a horse, and he felt a little ashamed, but the crowd who had been waiting to watch the fun cheered, and his little face was lifted up, and he sat upright on the horse with his head held high. .

Seeing that everyone was already on the horse, Shen Yue clasped the horse's belly with his legs, waved his right hand, the firecrackers for welcoming the bride sounded, the drum team blew the first suona, the wedding sedan chair was slowly lifted off the ground, and the wedding party marched forward.

Along the way, more and more common people came to see the bridegroom, but more people saw the eight neat groomsmen.After arriving at the Lin family's location, more than half an hour had passed.The gate of Zhong'an Hou's Mansion was closed tightly, and several doormen in brand new blue clothes in front of the gate saw the welcoming procession approaching, sticking incense sticks towards the firecrackers that had already been prepared, amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, Shen Yue dismounted calmly, and the best men followed Before arriving at the gate of the mansion.

"Shen Jiaerlang, please marry the daughter of the Lin family. On auspicious days, please open the door." Shen Yue called out loudly towards the door.

The disciples greeted Shen Yue with smiles, and they all greeted Shen Yue, and said in unison: "I have seen the new uncle."

Brother Xun shook out the red envelopes from his arms, and issued one to each door, and then the doormen got up and called to the door: "The new uncle is here." The middle door creaked open, and the inside stood Thirty health servants, neatly dressed in new clothes and hats, responded in unison: "Young Master Xin is here."

The steps under Shen Yue's feet just staggered. Is this a knock on the door or a blow to himself?Turning back to signal, Brother Xun and Brother Yan had already rushed ahead of him, passing a healthy servant and giving a red envelope, and another healthy servant gave another red envelope, which made Shen Yue feel that what they sent was Buy road money.

After finally walking through the porch, an Eight Immortals table was set up in front of you. Three cups were placed on the table, and Brother Kuan stood beside him with a smile on his face. When Shen Yue approached, he saluted Shen Yue: “This wine is for My sister was brewed when she was born, and it is prepared for today's auspicious day, please drink this cup to the full."

Shen Yuexin said that if you dare to look me in the eyes and say these words, I will believe you.But he still picked up the first glass of wine and drank it down.Hiss, Shen Yueqiang took a deep breath and swallowed the sour liquid into his stomach. It's not wine, it's clearly vinegar!

Brother Kuan smiled smugly: "How does this wine taste?"

"It's like drinking fine wine." There was a faint smile on Shen Yue's face, as if what he just drank was really good wine.Brother Kuan's eyes were not so calm, and he pointed to the second glass of wine.Shen Yue held the cup, before he could smell the strong bitterness, and didn't ask how much Coptis chinensis was boiled, Shen Yue drank it without frowning.

The third glass of wine, hey, it was actually honey water?Although the sour and bitter taste left in the mouth is a bit weird, it feels much better when it enters the throat.Brother Kuan saw that he had finished drinking, so he smiled and bowed his hands to him: "I can drink a lot, I hope my brother-in-law can drink as much as he drinks."

Shen Yue took a deep look at him, and if you are proud for two days, I will let you know whether my tolerance is really as big as my drinking capacity.Brother Kuan made him shrink his neck slightly, turned around and walked towards the second door.

The road leading to the second gate is not so easy, it seems that everyone knows that Shen Yue is not good at poetry, and within three steps there will always be a young man who blocks the road and asks him to write poetry.Fortunately, Shen Yue was well-prepared, and he didn't need the eight best men behind him. He would recite the topic as soon as he heard it, no matter how uncommon the rhyme was.

Gradually fewer people came forward, Shen Yue let out a sigh of relief, and decided to wait until the day he returned to the door to ask Lin Ruhai, who did he find these people from, next time he will recommend it to the present, let These people got the test questions of Qiu Wei and Chun Wei.

I don't want the biggest stumbling block to appear in Ermen!The tiger standing in the way was not tall, he was dressed in a bright red robe with a yellow jade belt around him, and he stretched his hands wide, indicating that the two gates were his territory.

Shen Yue couldn't help but think of the scene when Shen Chao blocked the door when he was young, and the smile on his face quickly trickled down: "What can the emperor's eldest grandson teach you?"

The emperor's grandson's face was full of seriousness: "Are you going to marry my aunt?"

Shen Yue put away his smile: "Yes, I, Shen Yue, sincerely beg Miss Lin to marry me."

The eldest grandson of the emperor asked sternly: "Will you treat her well? Will you always love her and pet her, so that she can be safe and happy?"

"Yes, I will always treat her well, love her and make her live a safe and happy life." Shen Yue did not act perfunctorily just because the eldest grandson of the emperor was small.

The eldest grandson of the emperor asked again: "Then you will lie to aunt, and forget aunt when something happens?"

Shen Yue's eyes almost popped out, who taught this: "I didn't think carefully before, and I will never lie to your aunt in the future, and neither before nor in the future, I have never left your aunt behind."

"Then you..." The eldest grandson of the emperor was still about to ask, but the sixth prince hugged his nephew: "Yuan'er, if you have any questions, come, Uncle Six will tell you."

Shen Yue really didn't expect the sixth prince to be so powerful, he led everyone to rush in with a smile, leaving the eldest grandson of the emperor struggling in the arms of the sixth prince.

As soon as they entered the main hall, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min had already sat in the main seats, but their faces were very serious, and Shen Yue saluted them without a smile in exchange.Shen Yue smiled wryly in his heart, stood up and looked expectantly at the inner room.Seeing the tall curtain and cage, Xi Niang came with Daiyu's support.

Unable to hold back, Shen Yue took a step forward and took over the errand of helping Daiyu from Xi Niang's hands, causing a few coquettish laughs in the inner room.Daiyu struggled lightly, and stopped moving without breaking free, letting Shen Yue help her to kneel in front of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, listening to her parents' final instruction to her.

Lin Ruhai only said to her daughter: "This will always be your home, if he dares to bully you, just come back." To Shen Yue: "Remember what you persuaded me."

Shen Yue and Daiyu both kowtowed and said yes, then turned to face Jia Min.Jia Min's eyes were already red, and she said to Daiyu: "Be filial to your parents-in-law, love your brothers, and don't lose your temper." Then he couldn't go on.

After the two agreed, they solemnly kowtowed to Lin Ruhai and Jia Min three times again. Shen Yue helped Daiyu's trembling body and comforted her softly: "It's all about me."

Brother Kuan has already arrived in front of Daiyu, he leaned down and said to Daiyu, "Sister, I will carry you." After speaking, he did not care about Shen Yue, and gave him a fierce look.

Shen Yue let go of Fu Daiyu's hand obediently, and followed his brother-in-law carefully, listening to his instructions to his sister who is three years older than him, don't worry, he will get fame as soon as possible, and won't let someone bully his sister .

The eldest grandson of the emperor was let go by the sixth prince at some point, and pulled Daiyu's sleeve aside, echoing Brother Kuan's words: "If you dare to treat aunt badly, I will take my mother to pick up aunt. "Shen Yue said that he felt that he must do all kinds of evil on weekdays, or everyone would think that he would bully Daiyu?

Seeing more and more water marks on Brother Kuan's collar, Shen Yue had no choice but to remind: "Yu'er, don't listen to their nonsense, why did I dare to bully you? One day, old lady, My wife won't let me go. I'm not afraid of others, so aren't I afraid that my husband will take care of me?"

Daiyu's tears made this sentence go away a lot, and Brother Kuan supported himself in the sedan chair, and took the jade bottle of apples, and felt that it was darker in front of him, and the curtain of the sedan chair had been lowered.

While swaying, I heard the sound of more intense firecrackers, and someone outside was shouting: "Kick the sedan door, kick the sedan door." Daiyu's nerves tensed up. She also knew this custom, which meant to show the bride off .

But the sedan chair didn't move at all, and the eyes felt brighter again, obviously someone had opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and then someone was booing, saying that the groom didn't even dare to kick the sedan chair door, and it seemed that he was afraid of his wife.Daiyu couldn't help but chuckled slightly.A hand was stretched out in front of her eyes, she recognized this hand and held her little hand tightly, so that Daiyu can now put her little hand on it with confidence.

The moment Shen Yue held that little hand, he felt that his heart was full. After coming to this world for such a long time of hard work and struggle, he finally got what he wanted today.So he held that little hand more gently, not only afraid that she would slip, but also afraid that it would hurt her.

"Be careful, you're about to step over the brazier." Shen Yue reminded softly.Following his strength, Daiyu stepped over the brazier smoothly. There was a patch of red in front of her eyes and a red carpet under her feet. When she was about to take a step, a few petals fell to her feet.

"Ah—" There was an exclamation from the people watching the ceremony, and they saw two pairs of boys and girls in red and festive costumes, each of them had a serious face, which made people seem to have an inexplicable sense of joy .Each of the children carried a big basket in their hands, and walked slowly in front of the couple. As they walked, they swayed brightly colored petals from the baskets they carried, and threw them high into the air.

It's just that they are young and short, and after throwing them vigorously, the petals only reached the position of Daiyu's chest, just like Daiyu walking among the flowers.Daiyu was covered by a veil, so although she couldn't see it, she could hear everyone's discussions, and she could also see the fallen flowers that fell to her feet from time to time, walking step by step like a dream.

In the main hall, the flower girls just finished spreading the flowers, and the children let out a long breath, and showed a big smile to their mother who was waiting at the door, which attracted everyone to smile, and praised the children together courage.

This is the first time everyone has seen the door, even if it is new, it feels good.Listening to everyone's excited discussion, the old lady also smiled: It's fine if you're not rude.

Waiting for Li Cheng to send the couple into the bridal chamber, everyone realizes that the novelty is all here: Although the bridal chamber is also decorated in bright red according to the custom, the things inside are all things that no one has seen before:

Dahong's wedding bed is round, and the cabinet is also made out of singles. There are countless drawers on the top, not because they are afraid of being rude, but they want to open it to see what is inside.The most surprising thing is the dressing table, the mirror on it is barely visible, and it is three feet long, which can be regarded as the first in this capital.

And the soft chairs were not placed separately, but placed together.Sitting together made people feel closer.The things in this new house are so desirable, you must ask the Shen family where they bought them.

After finally dismissing the adults who were watching the ceremony, Brother Shen and the little flower girls refused to leave, Shen Yue was helpless, and said to Daiyu: "You don't have to pay attention to them, they will leave after a while when they get tired of playing."

Daiyu thought, don't talk about them, I don't know when I will get tired of watching them.It's a pity that Brother Ai is going out to accompany the guests, or let him explain how to use these things.

"Is Yu'er still not tired?" Shen Yue looked at Daiyu's cheerful little face, and that small Hongling mouth that opened and closed, asking him questions non-stop. Why can't you think about it so much, and put all the new gadgets in the new house.Daiyu is only left with novelty and no anxiety of being newlyweds, but there are too many problems.

Yu'er, have you forgotten that today should be a day worth a thousand dollars in our Spring Festival?
