Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 123

The three days of rest passed quickly. On the morning of the fourth day of the fourth day, everyone in the capital knew that the youngest martial arts champion in Dazhou had first-class character and appearance. His Majesty the Emperor bestowed a marriage! ! !

The target is the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the chief minister of Yangzhou! ! !

It was like a cannonball flying into the crowd.From the announcement of Enke's ranking the year before last, to the dismissal last year, to the award at the end of the year, everything has shown that Jia Jin is in the limelight and has a bright future.

People in the capital are often lucky enough to see this young man galloping on a horse. In the hearts of countless girls, this is the most perfect dream lover. In the eyes of countless parents, this is also the most satisfying son-in-law.

Now there is a thunder on the ground, without any warning, Jia Jin is about to get married, or is it a gift from the emperor?Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't recover for a long time, and when they recovered, they all beat their chests and stamped their feet, deeply regretting that they didn't start earlier.

There are also officials who have actually tried to mention it to Baoyu several times, but they were all declined. After several times and this marriage gift, everyone has almost understood that Jia Jin may have long wanted to belong. For this reason, she guarded herself like a jade, and turned down all the good marriages that came to her door.

What other people think, Baoyu is too lazy to guess, he is very proud of the spring breeze at the moment, walking outside the palace with the imperial decree of marriage in his sleeve, many people gather around to congratulate him along the way, he is in a good mood and thanks one by one with a smile , I went to the Taishi Bureau and picked a good day.

Tai Shiling also recognized him, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and said, "Master Jia is here to choose a good day?" He nodded with a smile: "Well, the sooner the better, find the closest day."

Tai Shiling responded with a smile, thinking that the young man really couldn't wait, and was in a hurry to marry a wife!

So according to his request, it was calculated that the fifth day of the next month would be the nearest auspicious day, but... "Master Jia, there is only one month... can we make it in time?" He was a little worried, the time was too fast!

Jia Jin memorized the time, waved her hands and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, I've prepared it long ago, there is definitely enough time!"

He went out with his hands behind his back, leaving Tai Shiling stunned: How anxious is this?Is it possible that you are ready to get married before you wait for the marriage?

Lin Fu, Daiyu has been staying here for the past three days. There was a commotion outside early this morning, and the sound of setting off firecrackers. Feeling something, she called Qingwen: "Qingwen, go out and see what's going on outside, it's so noisy! Is anyone getting married?"

Qingwen went out for a while, and soon ran back in a panic, blushing with excitement and shouted at her: "Miss, it's not a marriage... Mingyan Yinquan and the others brought people here! They said they came to hire of!"

Daiyu was drinking tea, and when she heard the words, she spit out, and looked up at her in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Qingwen took a breath and said, "It's true. I went out just now and saw a lot of servants with red strings around their waists carrying big wooden boxes half a person's height back. I saw Mingyan a few steps away, and I asked him what he was doing, and he smiled and said that he was hiring our master! Can this be false?"

Seeing that Daiyu's expression turned from surprise to normal, she went up and pulled her: "Miss, go out and have a look too! It's lively outside, and the master is very happy too!"

Lin Ruhai was standing on the steps watching boxes of betrothal gifts being brought in, when she turned her head and saw her daughter approaching "aggressively", she smiled and beckoned him to come over: "Yu'er, come quickly, these are all sent by Baoyu." Yes, see if you like it or not!" She walked over angrily and angrily.

She's not a fool, why don't she understand what happened in the past few days? These two people already knew about it, so they just kept it from her!Let’s talk about why things were delivered every day but no one was there. Jewelry on the first day, fabrics on the second day, and gold and silver utensils on the third day. So they were waiting here!

How could Lin Ruhai fail to see that she was holding back her anger, patted her hand and smiled and said, "We just wanted to give you a surprise, that's all the emperor said on the [-]th day. Baoyu has spent a lot of thought these days, aren't you happy?"

How could Daiyu be unhappy? It's just that the two of them joined forces to keep her in the dark, and it was a bit suffocating.But soon she was relieved, and what came up was shyness.After waiting for so many years, the day finally came, and the excitement in her heart was self-evident.

Baoyu’s betrothal gift is definitely enough. There are 20 boxes of gold alone, which is 15 taels, and [-] boxes of silver, which is [-] taels; eight types of seafood, each with two large bags, including abalone, sea cucumber, shark’s fin and scallops. Three baskets of big lettuce, live shrimp and crab; large bags of dried fruit, tea and sesame candy, ten loads and twenty big tanks of red wine; there are also many pairs of livestock such as chickens, ducks, fish and pigs, and other mountain delicacies. All the supplies are complete, and the scenery is brought here.

In addition to these, there are also large pieces from Yaku, probably also from Shuihong, a pair of large official kiln vases, four large screens with lacquered gold painted flowers, hundreds of butterflies piercing flowers, flowers blooming for wealth, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, etc. A pair of half-human tall jade horses, with red and sapphires from Persia inlaid in the eyes of the horses, a mythical beast Pixiu made of pure gold, two night pearls the size of goose eggs, and a box of South Sea purple pearls.

Needless to say, other sporadic gold and jade jewellery, dowry, silk and satin, Baoyu also put his four properties in the outskirts of the city, Zhuangzi's land deeds, warehouse keys, etc. in brocade boxes, saying that they were filial to Lin Ruhai.

A large circle of ordinary people outside Lin's mansion watched the shining golden things being taken out, and gasped voices came from time to time: "Oh my god! This is enough for me to eat for twenty lifetimes." ! So rich!"

"Master Lin really found a good son-in-law!"

"Oh, why didn't such a good son-in-law come to my house!"

"Hurry up, don't look at yourself like that, people don't even look down on you!"

Bursts of laughter, accompanied by the thundering sound of firecrackers, resounded in front of the Lin Mansion's gate, scattering bright red all over the place.Along with the introduction of the dowry, there are also generous rewards from His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress.For the first time in the few years since Lin Mansion was built, it was so festive and lively.

Daiyu looked at the piles of things in the yard that were almost out of place, and she was still a little out of shape.Baoyu went back to the mansion, but there were not enough people in charge for the time being, and Mo Yu from the villa came to support him, and he was soft when he received gifts.

In addition to many rewards from the palace, such as the Beijing Palace, Gu's House, Yun's House and Lian's Second Master also gave gifts, and other officials at all levels also had different gifts.

At noon, someone came to the Lin Mansion with a post with the date of marriage written on it: the fifth day of February.Lin Ruhai laughed at that time, while Daiyu was ashamed and angry.

In any case, things are about to start to be done in a lively manner.The mansion dispatched more than twenty embroiderers to make wedding dresses with boxes of gorgeous fabrics sent by Baoyu.

On the one hand, Lin Ruhai was counting the betrothal gifts, and on the other hand, she had to take out the things at the bottom of the box to buy her daughter's dowry.Three generations of princes in the Lin family have naturally accumulated a lot of good things. He is such a precious daughter. It is a once-in-a-lifetime event that must not be lost. Without blinking.

The two sides are bustling with enthusiasm, full of joy, and the Chinese New Year is celebrated in the first month, which has infected half of the people in the capital.

The next day, in the Rong Mansion, Aunt Xue hurried over with Baochai. At this time, Jia Mu's main room was already full of people. Cherish the three sisters.

Mrs. Wang's face was as stiff as if it had been painted with rice paste. "Old lady, is that fair to you? For such a big matter as marriage, he actually made a decision on his own without discussing it with us! Do you still think of me and the master as parents?"

Jia Mu glared at her: "This is the imperial decree! Do you want the Holy Majesty to come and discuss with you?" Mrs. Wang choked, unable to calm down, and then retreated and said: "Then... it is also necessary to arrange the marriage. Should we do it? He hasn't come to talk to us until now!"

Speaking of this, Jia Mu also sighed, Baoyu couldn't control it anymore, and she couldn't come to ask, so she could only wait and see when he remembered to tell them. "Baoyu is already grown up, he has his own ideas about this matter, so let's not meddle in it."

Mrs. Wang twisted her veil unwillingly. It was useless for her to say anything now, but her son got married and put her aside and refused to let her participate, which made her face even more embarrassing.In the past few years, the family has become more and more difficult, and many people resent her for being in charge of the family, and now I don't know how many people are secretly waiting to see her jokes!

Li Wan and the others were juniors, so it was not easy to intervene, and Madam Xing put herself in a high position because she had nothing to do with her, and the atmosphere fell into a stalemate for a while.Just as the young man ran to say that the concubine was here, Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up, and Mother Jia was also surprised, and hurriedly called to come in, and she struggled to sit up.Li Wan took the girls out to greet him. Aunt Xue and Baochai had already entered while talking.

Since Aunt Xue's family moved out years ago, we haven't seen each other for a few months, and now it's natural to chat with each other, and the main topic starts after a cup of tea.

"I heard that Baoyu was going to marry Miss Lin, so I came here to see if I can help." Aunt Xue smiled, and Baochai also responded with a smile: "I didn't expect the two of them to get married first. My elder sister can't keep up!" Although she smiled, she probably only knew the bitterness and resentment in her heart.

Mrs. Wang became a little stiff when she heard her smile. It can't be said that Baoyu hasn't sent someone to announce the good news, right?She had to laugh dryly, and Jia Mu said with a smile: "Yes! This is a great event, and the Holy Majesty personally bestowed the marriage. I'm afraid that someone will take care of all the matters. If there is anything that can be used by the aunt, she will definitely say it. We are all family!"

Just as they were talking, Yuanyang came in: "Old lady, the second master Bao sent someone here!" Mrs. Jia Muwang was heartbroken, and hurriedly called in to see that it was the hoe medicine beside Baoyu. Then he took out a red wedding invitation from his bosom and presented it with a smile: "Old ladies and wives, Lord asked me to deliver the wedding invitation to you. The date has been fixed. Please come and attend the wedding at that time!"

Mother Jia took it and opened it, and said in surprise, "The fifth day of February? How fast?" Hoe Yao smiled and said, "No, I'm preparing it! Just wait for the day!" Baochai felt sour: "Brother Bao, this is I don’t know how long ago I prepared it, and I’m just waiting for this day! I’m really impatient!”

Hoe Yao suddenly smiled again: "By the way, the master also said that the girls can talk to Miss Lin more during this period, otherwise they will be bored for more than a month!"

Tanchun said enviously: "Sister Lin is really lucky! The second elder brother is so kind to her." After saying that everyone has their own tastes, she joked about another Yingchun who was about to marry: "Second sister is also, Lian Er The family I found for you must be good. Sigh, you are all married, what will happen to me and my fourth sister!"

Yingchun is not as dull and silent as before. Hearing this, she slapped her with a smile: "Listen to what you big girl said! You talk about marrying and marrying all day long. You envy us so much, hurry up! Let the old lady hurry up and tell you about her family, so that you won't have to worry about it every day!"

After the hoe medicine was gone, everyone was not in the mood to say anything, so they watched Yingchun Tanchun and others laughing.Baochai looked at Yingchun, who was much more confident and bright, and didn't know what she was thinking.
