Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

On the day of September 24th, the Xue family still sent posts to relatives and female relatives early to invite them to come and see the dowry.In September, the weather gradually cools down, and there are many wedding and birthday banquets and other banquets in Beijing. Many couples eat separately and hate to eat, so most of the relatives and friends who are a little far away are just ritual It turns out that the ones who can sit down and eat are the closest ones.

When giving the dowry, an official matchmaker is required to lead the way, and the one who wants to get married needs to call a brother who is close to the family. If it is a single seedling, it has to ask friends and colleagues to help, to show that the family is prosperous and the girl is going well. will have a hard time.For example, Shen Yu, the Shen family, all of them are in Gyeonggi, and there are no brothers of the same age among aunts and aunts, but there are many strong young men under his command. After asking the horse commander for instructions, several colleagues were escorted with him. The dowry goes to Xue's house.

It is not easy to find a wife in this line of work. Many people reluctantly hire a girl from a relative or acquaintance's family when they are old, or they don't simply live a bachelor life.As soon as these young people heard that there was a guy in their team who had begged for a beautiful and famous daughter, they had to grit their teeth and gear up to "help".These few discussed with Shen Yu behind their backs, and on September 24, they all wore official uniforms and went to Shen's house. People who don't know how this family provoked these evil spirits to come to their door.Shen Yu was annoyed and amused when she saw the glowing red. He was clearly here to help you, so why would he complain about what he was wearing?If the emperor gave everyone a flying fish suit back then, they might have to wear all of them today.I had no choice but to order the hired porter to go out now.The porter trembled with fright at first, but only then did he realize that the master's family was still working with these young people, and his spirit was different from before, so he raised the dowry and left.

The official matchmaker smiled and was not afraid, he just looked up and down the group of Jinyi guards with his eyes shining brightly, and only when he saw that some hairs stood on end, he smiled and said: "Let's walk now and make an appointment to arrive at the place before noon. "Everyone avoided her one after another. The official matchmaker just smiled and walked in the front to lead the way. Shen Yu rode a horse and followed behind, and then came the porters who carried the dowry. At the end of the team were several people riding tall horses. A young man in a red uniform.This group of young men from Jinyiwei stood up, all of them were half head taller than others, not to mention riding on horses, holding dowries and stolen property, frightening the people watching the ceremony to stay away. less than.Shen Yuhundang didn't follow the group of present treasures, but took the matchmaker and carried two big geese forward.

Seeing this situation, passers-by on the street hid on both sides one after another, and Shen Yu and his party arrived at the gate of Xue's house without any hindrance.At the moment when it was just past time, the big housekeeper saw him outside and asked the boy to light firecrackers and throw them out, and another servant went in to report the news.At this time, the door of the Xue family was opened, and the porters put the things behind the screen wall and handed them to the servants of the Xue family, and then went back to the Shen family to collect the wages, and then the servants of the Xue family came up to carry the dowry gifts into the main courtyard. watch.In the past, everyone said that when you marry a wife, you have to show the dowry, so that your family members know that the newly married daughter-in-law brings wealth and the family is not poor, but you don’t know that when you give the dowry, you have already asked someone to pick it.It's not about how good things should be used, it's just a matter of sincerity.Nowadays, the trend of frugality in the imperial court is getting stronger and stronger, and the Shen family’s dowry is quite standard. According to Shen Yu’s current official ranks, there are xuanzhen, silk, and letters, plus two pairs of white jade pendants, two live geese, and wedding cakes, tea, wine and pastries. such as.

Mrs. Xue took the head seat today, and Xue Pan also took the head seat below her left hand. Since she couldn't find any other good men among her relatives, she had to temporarily ask Mr. Lin Ruhai to be her right hand. Sit around to answer the guests.In the hall, Xue Biaoshou received the betrothal gifts in the east and placed them in order, and the relatives who watched the ceremony in the west and south watched them one by one.At this time, the official matchmaker presented the letter from Shen's family to Xue Pan, and Xue Bian sang in the east of the next head: "Now there is Shen's son, Yu. With the importance of husband and wife, I will benefit Xue's daughter and follow the ceremony. There is no shyness." Coins, dare to ask for levy." Lin Ruhai saw that Xue's family was not in danger, so he sang and replied: "Xue's daughter paid Shen's son a heavy gift, and Xue dare not accept it." Only then did Xue Pan Swapping the same marriage letter written by the Xue family with the Shen family's, and handing it to the official matchmaker, this is the only ceremony for accepting the levy.All the guests were seated at the table, and the maids invited Baochai out. Afterwards, Yinger and Bailu each held a large lacquered red plate, on which were the needles that the woman wanted the man to take back as a return gift.The official matchmaker also smiled and praised them one by one and accepted them. Mother Su accompanied her to eat wine and meat at the banquet.Those young men who came to help Shen Yu deliver the dowry also arranged a special courtyard for eating and drinking freely, and did not stay with these noble relatives.

The official matchmaker had already had a meal at Shen's house, and it was only due to the occasion, so Runrun Chopsticks reminded Shen Yu to leave.After the man left, only the relatives of Xue's family were left sitting. The guests and host enjoyed themselves for a while, and they gradually left in the afternoon.Today Daiyu Xiangyun and other girls with more freedom of movement came to join in the fun with Baochai. Before leaving, Daiyu repeatedly told Baochai that she would go home to see her new baby brother in October.Baochai had to respond one by one, and suddenly saw that Xiangyun's expression was different, and before he had time to ask, the female family members of the Shi family had already pedaled away, so they had to miss it.

Once the acceptance of the levy is over, according to the old rules, Baochai will be regarded as Shen's family, living in her mother's house for a day or a day, just waiting for the relatives to put on a make-up during the application period, and everything will be ready. Great gift.She thought to herself, in her previous life, how could she handle everything so seriously and rigorously in the Grand View Garden?Baoyu is stupid and stupid, and can't tell when she will go crazy again. Aunt Mrs. Wang has eaten the weight and is determined not to marry her son to a girl from the Lin family.I am getting old, and my mother has no idea. After all these years, I have only wanted to marry myself into the Jia family, but in the end, I just made do with the dowry without even preparing for it, and asked the servants to beat me. up.The other day, in order to deceive Baoyu, Sister Feng called Xueyan to come and stand beside the sedan chair to pretend to be a dowry maid. Now that I think about it, it is really ridiculous, a rare and ridiculous incident in ancient and modern China and abroad.In this world, when people do things, they take the wrong first step, and it is very rare to turn back to the right path later on. No wonder everyone values ​​the good or bad of this start.I have missed it in the past, but now I am blessed by the gods to do it again, and I can no longer be self-deprecating and self-deprecating.

As soon as September 24 passed, the Xue family's important affairs had been decided, and they became more and more calm and relaxed.In the end, Baochai left all the affairs of the family and the shop outside in Xuying's hands, and never asked any questions, even the shop that Mrs. Xue had said would accompany her, and she would just nest in the inner courtyard and play all day long. Parrots doing needlework.She didn't have to do the wedding dress herself, only Jingxiu should cover her head, and Ying'er took a few needlewomen picked out from shops to do the rest.Mrs. Xue opened a large warehouse, and the caravan staff brought back all kinds of good materials from all over the world, regardless of the cost, to make a dowry for her daughter.She thought that since the quantity is not too good, she can only make up for it in quality, and only the top-notch ones can be satisfied.Since there is no date yet, and I don't know what solar term to welcome the bride, I simply prepared two pieces of red material for each of the four seasons, and started to work when the two families agreed on the wedding date.

The busy days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the Lin family's banquet.Because it was Lin Ruhai who adopted an heir from a distant branch of his own family, all the subordinates and relatives were curious to see how good the child was.Originally, everyone thought that the Lin family might welcome a step-wife who was born slightly lower and younger so that they could continue the incense, but Lin Ruhai would directly come to the bottom of the pot. The old girl at the end said to him.

Countless people who dreamed of picking up the missing piece to make their fortune were greatly disappointed. The more disappointed they became, the more curious they became about this kid who appeared out of nowhere, and they couldn't help but want to take a look at him.Mrs. Xue didn't go that day, so she asked Xue Pan, Xue Biao and his brothers to protect Xu Ying and Baochai Baoqin to watch the ceremony and set up a stage with the Lin family by the way.Xue Pan took his mother's order, got ready early and rushed to the master's mansion with his younger siblings and daughter-in-law. As soon as they entered the door, Xue's brothers asked Lin Ruhai to slip away to the front yard to do something, Xu Ying and the two sisters followed The mother-in-law went to the backyard.

There were no other relatives in the backyard at this time, only Daiyu brought a five or six-year-old boy to squat in one place to tease the raccoon, while the women and maidservants were driven far away from the other side.I saw that the cat was round and round, but its figure was still vigorous, and it was a joy to jump up and down after chasing the flowers tied with chicken feathers. Daiyu even smiled red on the child's face.The servant girl who informed the cat yelled, Daiyu looked up and saw that it was the female family members of the Xue family who came, she hurriedly stuffed the cat teasing flowers into the cat's arms, got up and adjusted the clothes with the boy next to her and came to greet her.

Xu Ying is also an only daughter, so she especially likes such an older boy who looks like a younger brother.Seeing the child's pink and jade carvings, he happily took out a very delicate big red purse embroidered with fish and dragon transformation pictures and stuffed it to him: "Good boy, take it and play with it, and ask your sister to bring you to my house to visit more in the future." Son!" The child was very obedient, he thanked him first, then turned his head to see Daiyu's intentions, seeing that Daiyu didn't show any resistance, he took it happily, and bowed to the guest with his milky white fist.Daiyu smiled and said to the three of them: "My father found this child with great difficulty from his hometown. There was only one grandma left in the family. She also went there the year before last, and spent most of her life at his aunt's side. After admitting it, I came to my house To be able to eat and clothe warmly without embarrassing his mother’s natal family and brothers. We have already told him there that his own parents will not stop him on the festival day, and the uncle’s family can come to see the child after handing over the post. It’s all convenient. "Bao Qin knelt down and took out a red cloth ball to show him. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that the child was cute. She couldn't help stretching out her hand and gently pinched her cheek and asked him: "How old are you this year?" She raised her face, clenched her fists neatly and replied, "Big sister, I'm seven years old this year."

The three members of Xue's family heard him say that they were seven years old, but they were only six years old, so they knew that the child had suffered a lot in his uncle's house in his early years.Such a child is fine, even if he is not grateful, in order not to go back to endure hardships, he has to stay in the Lin family, treat him sincerely and not be afraid of not being familiar with him.At that moment, Baochai also took out a big red purse from his sleeve and handed it to him, "This is the long-lived hundred-year-old lock bag I carried when I was young. Don't dislike it." The child's hands are small, and he can't hold two or three things. The servants who followed him picked it up and put it away for him.Baoqin felt itchy and wanted to hug him when she saw it, but the little dumpling bowed again: "Sister, the ancients said that 'men and women have different seats at seven years old', I am seven years old now, and I can no longer be hugged by my sisters." .”

"Oh! How particular about children!" Baoqin didn't get angry when she told him to go back, she happily put her collar around his neck, and asked for the lock bag that Baochai gave to him just now: "This is neat and tidy." Yes. Others have it, but you don’t, it’s always not beautiful, children’s families should be brighter.”

Seeing that her new brother was blushing, Daiyu rubbed his head and let her into the inner room with a smile: "Hurry up and sit down first, the others will have to wait a while before coming." Baochai hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't worry yet. Take a break, today your family handed over posts to the female relatives, have you managed it properly? Is there anyone watching for you in the garden or under the kitchen?" Daiyu is the only female family member of the Lin family today, and the rest are maidservants Mother-in-law, who has nothing to support her, naturally all matters in the inner court can only be left to Daiyu to decide.A small feast is okay on weekdays, but today is a big event, if something goes wrong, it will be embarrassing.The three members of the Xue family have a good impression of the Lin family, and they came here early to help.When Daiyu heard Baochai's words, she blushed and said with a smile: "No, I just thought of playing with Sister Baochai as soon as I saw her, and I almost missed a big deal." Take this scapegoat and see where you throw it."

It was getting late at this time, so Xuying Baochai went to help Daiyu, even Baoqin got the task, and had to watch the women and the little boy change into visitor clothes.Because of the fact that her own younger brother was raised until she was three years old and she died for no apparent reason, now Daiyu looks at this new younger brother like an eyeball, and is afraid that something bad will cause her family to hurt other good children.It's also because he's attractive, I guess the "lover's flesh" on his body is all born on his forehead, everyone loves him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do this anymore.

After working for about half an hour, the tables and utensils were ready for the women's family members, and Baochai stared at the kitchen in a more orderly manner than before.The housekeeper outside was worried and was coming in to see, but it turned out that the sex was appropriate, and what was appropriate couldn't be more appropriate. He was overjoyed and bowed to Xu Ying: "Thank you, Grandma Xue and Miss Xue, for your help. Only our girl A busy job, I'm afraid I'll be tired and sick again." Xu Ying hurriedly stepped aside, only accepted a half-courteous way: "There is nothing to thank, how can your family help us a lot? It's just a pity that there are no people of the same age and status. Brother and sister, otherwise we can have a good marriage." The housekeeper laughed twice, seeing that there was no need to take care of the inner courtyard, he felt relieved to go outside to work.Fortunately, there is one kitchen for both the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and the preparations are almost the same at this time.

Around Sishi, the relatives, friends and colleagues invited by the Lin family gradually came to say hello.Xue Biao was called to the front by Lin Ruhai to give an explanation, and for the time being, he came and went to greet the young guests during the banquet. Xue Pan was thrown directly at the gate as a disciple to welcome the guests—anyway, the ignorant and noble sons were his relatives. Capable young heroes can be said to be his colleagues, no matter who they are, they will not care about a solid-eyed idiot, but asking him to welcome guests is to make the best use of everything and everyone.

Before noon, all the officials and guests from the outer court had arrived, and the guests from the inner court had already chatted with each other in full swing.It's not that the priority is reversed, it's because Daiyu is still a big girl waiting to be married, and the mistresses have many things that are inconvenient to talk to her, and besides, she has good concentration, can sit still, is patient, and has a lively mind, no matter who speaks And they can catch up with each other without falling, so everyone is willing to talk to her a few more times.Lin Ruhai first took the boy to the outer court to meet the officials and guests, told the child's name and history, and asked the guests to witness that he was accepted as his heir, and only after the ceremony was completed did he order the women to send him to the women's table for dinner.

As soon as Daiyu saw him coming, she beckoned to put an embroidered pier beside him to sit with him, and then smiled and said to the wives, grandmas and wives: "This is the child of a distant relative in my hometown, and now my father has adopted him as an heir. It is my younger brother. There is no need to change the child’s name before, and the father will choose the name when he is crowned.” The child waited carefully for her to finish speaking, and knowing that he was talking about him, he got up and clench his fists and rushed in several directions He made a bow and said: "Hello, madam, grandma, and sisters." He also said his first and last name.The female relatives rewarded them with gifts, came up one after another, pinched their faces or stroked their hair, until the child's hair was blown up, and then smiled and let him sit down and eat.

After the guests had dispersed and the big things were packed away, only a few odd jobs were left to do slowly, the five members of Xue's family went to the front to bid farewell to Lin Ruhai.Mr. Lin is in a very good mood today. He took his daughter and cheap son and thanked them for their help with a smile. He had to ask them to bring a gift in return before letting them go. Sentence: "Goodbye, brother." Almost made Xue Pan laugh out loud.

After getting into the carriage and returning home, Xuying slapped his waist and said, "I'm exhausted today. After all, it's someone else's house. No matter how the rules are, it's different from ordering my own servants." Baochai poured out a bowl of fruit Lu told her: "Thank you sister-in-law for your hard work today, go back and have a good rest for two days." When Xu Ying heard this, she annoyed her: "Big girl, I can rest if I come out of the yard once or twice, heartless girl , leave the whole mess of the house to me and hide in peace, I won’t have any food for you when I go back tonight!” Bao Qinwo giggled aside, Baochai feigned anger: “Okay, how many grandmas have passed the door I just want to be the master of the house, and I can laugh out loud at night when I sleep, but my sister-in-law is fine, why did you point the strong man on my head again?" The three sister-in-laws crowded in the carriage and chattered, Xue Pan outside After hearing this, he knocked on the window of the carriage without hesitation: "Daughter-in-law, sister, what jokes are you telling? Tell me a happy one too!" There was a sudden silence, and then the laughter became more cheerful .

The author has something to say: Brother Lin's name... I didn't think of it.As we all know, the author Jun is a bad namer, even the name of the protagonist is super troublesome!

In other words, readers nowadays are really strict. I put two editions of "Dream of Red Mansions" on my left. Zhiping Pingben", the previous set was written by Gao E for the last 1980 chapters, and I have already torn it up, the pages are brittle and falling off, and I can't stand the flipping, so I had no choice but to buy a new version to read.However, I am just writing my own opinion. Many people think that I have not read "Dream of Red Mansions". For this, I just want to say that if what I write coincides with your thoughts, Then we are heroes with the same views; if they are not the same, then you are a hero, you can continue to write one, I also want to lie down and eat meat instead of cutting off my own legs, my dears!
