The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Chapter 277 Filial piety tea

After Lin Hai went to Beijing, Kong Jiayi had a backbone. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law were never as real as her husband, so Lin An, the current chief manager of the Lin family, led the servants to check the things used for the wedding.

Lin Hai had already arrived in the capital, and Lin Ye's marriage was completely put on the agenda. Even the empress summoned Kong Jiayi several times to inquire about the progress.Master Yuan and Mrs. Yuan loved this only daughter-in-law very much, and they were also very satisfied with Lin Ye, the son-in-law. The day before the wedding, there were 120 dowries alone, which made people who came and went see it. They were stunned for a moment, envious. As soon as the dowry was opened, everyone was stunned. Jewelry, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were crowded, and all the treasures seemed to be overflowing.

In addition, Miss Yuan is the cousin of Emperor Xuande, so the emperor, empress, and concubines in the palace were directly sent to the Lin Mansion for makeup.

Showing off makeup is naturally for people to see, even those who have seen the world can't help laughing.

Some people recalled the scene when Kong Jiayi married into the Lin family, the same 120 sets of dowry, the same ten-mile red makeup, and the same dazzling makeup.Not to mention, these generations of the Lin family are really lucky!

The eldest son, Lin Hai, married the daughter of Shenggong Kong Jiayan, Shandong, and brought endless fame to the Lin family.The eldest grandson married the emperor's cousin, who gained glory and the trust of the royal family.In officialdom, what is more precious than the trust of the emperor?

The emperor wants to protect you, who dares to be cruel.

Although many people were envious and jealous, no one dared to make trouble for Lin Ye's marriage.If you are looking for trouble in this way, it is not trouble for the Lin family, it is trouble for Emperor Xuande, most people who dare to trouble the emperor will not end well.

And many people actually already understood in their hearts that the emperor wanted to use Lin Hai to clear up the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, in order to let Lin Hai go all out.It is natural to give him a way out.The way out is to marry the Lin family and the Yuan family, to leave the eldest grandson of the Lin family in the capital, and to leave a way out for the Lin family.

In May, the red pomegranate flowers hang high on the branches, and the whole capital is full of joy, especially the Lin Mansion is very lively.For no other reason, today is the big day for Lin Ye, the eldest son of the Lin family, and Yuan Lin, the emperor's cousin, to get married.

Lin Ye is handsome and elegant, and Yuan Lin, the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, is virtuous and virtuous.The marriage of the two of them is what is called a match made in heaven.

Everything was prepared step by step. On the day of the wedding, Lin Ye was called up early in the morning to open the ancestral hall. Master Lin, Lin Hai, and the elders of the clan who had already gone to Beijing stood on the ancestral tablet and taught Lin Ye the principles of life.

The wedding is at dusk.The ancients believed that dusk was an auspicious time, because in the concept of yin and yang, five elements, and Shinto teachings, women belong to yin.At dusk, "the yang goes and the yin comes", and everything about the wedding has the meaning of welcoming the yin into the home.But slowly in the morning, many guests opened their congratulations.

Master Lin was busy welcoming them, and Jiang, Lin Hai, and Lin Shen couldn't rest.Even Lin Lingyu and Lin Yu have to help with some things, but fortunately, they don't have to come forward in person, just dispatch people and things behind them.

The drum band and the guard of honor lead the way, and bearers carry the sedan chair in the middle of the procession.The Lin family's wedding party is no longer huge enough to be described as huge, it should be considered huge, after all, they are marrying the emperor's cousin.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers and drums at noon today, Lin Ye welcomed his bride back.

Seeing his son standing in front of him in high spirits, and worshiping with his daughter-in-law, Lin Hai felt a little emotional.I still remember the small, sensible and obedient child back then.Kong Jiayi also tried hard to hold back the tears of excitement in her eyes, and nodded to her son with a smile.

After the bride is sent to the bridal chamber.Kong Jiayi ordered his servants to bring some food for Lin Lingyu to quietly take over when no one was around. On the day of the wedding, the bride did not touch a drop of water, so she must be extremely hungry by now.

The next day, Lin Hai and Kong Jiayi woke up early to drink the daughter-in-law's filial piety tea.The maids stepped forward and carefully dressed Kong Jiayi.Not long after Lin Hai and Kong Jiayi arrived at the hall, Master Lin and Jiang Shi also came, followed by Lin Lingyu, Lin Yu, and Lin Shen's twins.

After a while, I only heard voices from outside: "The uncle and the young mistress are here." The curtain was lifted.Lin Ye and Yuan Lin came in one after the other.

Lin Hai's sharp eyes saw that Lin Ye quietly helped Yuan Lin in when they entered the door. Both of them had a faint red complexion and a happy look between their eyebrows and eyes, and they were very happy.

Lin Hai and Kong Jiayi looked at each other, apparently thinking of how cautiously they came to see their parents back then.

Lin Ye took Yuan Lin's hand and came to the front of the crowd. Yuan Lin smiled softly, then knelt down with Lin Ye on the kneeling mat in front of Arhat's bed and kowtowed three times to Master Lin.

"Okay, good boy, get up quickly" Master Lin hurriedly replied, one maid stepped forward to help Yuan Lin up, and another maid was already waiting beside her with a cup of tea, so Yuan Lin took the tea bowl brought by the other maid, He took a step forward with his hands flat, knelt down again, raised his hands above his head, and said, "Grandpa, please drink tea."

Master Lin took the tea bowl, took a sip and put it down, nodded to the maid beside him, and rewarded Yuan Lin with a white marble jade pendant.

Yuan Lin thanked her, and took a pair of shoes from the maid behind her, and presented them to Master Lin.

Then there was the Jiang family. The Jiang family was much easier to talk to the granddaughter-in-law than the daughter-in-law. As soon as Yuan Lin knelt down, the Jiang family couldn't wait to wake her up!

After serving Jiang's forehead, Yuan Lin got up and went to Lin Hai and knelt down to serve tea. The elders were mostly troublesome. When Kong Jiayi came in back then, she just served tea to Master Lin and Jiang.When it comes to Lin Ye's generation, there will be many elders, so I can't afford to be hurt!

Then there was Kong Jiayi, and Kong Jiayi smiled at Yuan Lin's hand: "In the future, you and your husband will be reconciled and beautiful, and it will be better than anything else if you let me have a sweetheart as soon as possible." Butterfly love flower golden hairpin inlaid with gold and jade.

Yuan Lin presented a pair of shoes and a peony forehead to Lin Hai and Kong Jiayi. Kong Jiayi took the forehead with a smile and looked at it for a while before praising: "This female worker is much better than I was back then. No wonder my mother praised her so much."

Yuan Lin pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Mother Miao praised." Flattery to a good mother-in-law is as important as a good relationship with her husband. Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been extremely complicated. ' Govern the country.

The Jiang family and Kong Jiayi are quite satisfied with Yuan Lin. She comes from a good background and understands things. She looks soft and weak, but in fact she has an idea in her heart. If she can support her own small family, it will be Lin Ye who will let her out in the future. Don't worry about it either.

Afterwards, the father and son of the Lin family moved to the study room, and Lin Lingyu was also learning the rules with the nanny these days, so Kong Jiayi led Lin Lingyu to her room.

After sitting down, Kong Jiayi thought about it and said to Yuan Lin: "Mother thinks that you have grown into adults. Madam Yuan told me that you have followed her to house the house since you were young. Anyway, you will have to take care of yourself in the future, so it's better now." Just start. You are a virtuous and thoughtful child, and my mother believes that you can take care of the house. Suddenly you may feel a little uncomfortable, just tell your mother if you are not used to it." Kong Jiayi glanced at a maid beside her. , the maid immediately brought a ledger to Yuan Lin.

"This is the account of your yard. Your dowry is kept as your own private money. Ye'er's share is all on it. Let's see if that kid can still play tricks." Kong Jiayi smiled slightly, looking at Yuan Lin With an unbelievable surprise.

Originally, Yuan Lin thought that people would say that Mrs. Lin was a powerful person. She was a famous beauty when she was young, and she was also a good housekeeper. In these years, there were no newcomers around Mr. Lin, not even a single concubine, and all the children under her knees were It was raised by Mrs. Lin.In addition, Mrs. Lin's natal family has a strong background, Yan Shenggong Kong's family!Therefore, few people dared to offend her by the way.

Although Lin Ye is a rare husband candidate, such a mother-in-law must be difficult to deal with.Yuan Lin was always worried before marriage.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they met today, Yuan Lin immediately fell in love with Kong Jiayi wholeheartedly.I thought to myself that Lin Ye is such a gentle, handsome and considerate husband, and I am really and very happy to have a mother-in-law like Kong Jiayi.

Yuan Lin and Kong Jiayi talked, and Kong Jiayi became more and more satisfied with the new daughter-in-law's speech and behavior.

Kong Jiayi looked at Yuan Lin more and more satisfied, waved her hand, and a maid at the side immediately held a lacquered mother-of-pearl box and placed it in front of the two of them, Kong Jiayi said to the maid in the room: "You all go down!"

"Yes!" All the maids in the room withdrew.

Kong Jiayi opened the box, and saw a stack of banknotes inside, "This is 2 taels of banknotes, and the three villages in the outskirts of the capital are all given to you by your mother."

Yuan Lin was at a loss for a while, and said with a panicked face: "Mother, why bother, these things should be left to younger brothers and sisters!"

Kong Jiayi smiled and said: "This is not for you alone. After you get married, your father-in-law and I will go back to the south of the Yangtze River, so the second sibling has always been in charge of this family. Now you are about to join the Lin family's social life." Well, Ye'er is about to step into the officialdom, and there are many places to spend money. Although it is the rule of the Lin family, after the men get married, they have a certain share of money every month as expenses in the officialdom. But in the end, sometimes , there is a place that is not convenient."

Then he looked at Yuan Lin, "I don't know about my own son. It's the best way to save face. The public's money, the first and second families haven't separated after all, and it's not easy to hold it. As for your private house, he is It's even useless, so I gave you some private property to the young couple."

"Mother..." Yuan Lin didn't know what to say. There are not many mothers who plan for their sons like this!
