When Lin Daiyu arrived at the Mansion of Duke Wen Zhao, all the sisters gathered at Shumei. However, it is said that the good day of Shu Mei is set on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, and the brothers and sisters in the family are good, and in the past half a month, they have actually met several times through various factors. Until today's twenty-fourth, it is Shu Mei to do the east, the last serious boudoir banquet. On the one hand, everyone congratulated Shu Mei, but on the other hand, they were very reluctant, thinking of this separation, even if they met, they were afraid that it would be difficult to be as intimate as this, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and sentimental. Besides, the banquet was full of good wine, and under the mixture of joy and sorrow, and wanton indulgence, one or two were excessive. Fortunately, the Chen, Yin, and Wang families had already made arrangements, so that the people who followed them on the left and right paid careful attention, and when they saw that her sister was drunk, they hurriedly reported to the room while serving carefully. Chen and the others also came to take a look, and they each slept peacefully on the bed, so they were relieved not to mention it.

And the next day, the women woke up, and they were ashamed and embarrassed. Thanks to the customs in Beijing the day before the wedding, the woman sent makeup, and the Enping Marquis Mansion urged everyone to go out in the morning, and the Zhang family wanted tea and wine banquet to entertain them, and they had to refuse to make formal makeup according to the usual practice, and firecrackers shook the sky and gongs and drums sounded in unison to send Shu Mei's dowry out. Needless to say, this lively and jubilant, noisy and busy, let the ladies behind them avoid a few words. It wasn't until the Yin family and the Wang family handed over the dowry and returned from the new house that they saw everyone sitting with her honestly in the Shumei house, and Chen hugged Lin Daiyu and laughed together. Seeing the two of them coming, Chen first smiled and said, "You have worked hard. I've also taught a few of them here. On the big day, just have fun with them, and just don't delay the business. ”

The Yin family and the Wang family were gagged, so they had to glare at their daughters twice, and stepped forward to tell the Chen family about the situation of the Cai family. Because he said: "The eldest girl's dowry was sent over, and there was no one who watched the ceremony from the Cai family who did not praise it." In particular, the two boxes of books were discharged in the same way in the courtyard, and there were more than a dozen red-eyed on the spot. The eldest aunt personally went down to stop people, and the old marquis raised his voice and shouted to the guards to guard the door strictly, lest he be taken away by someone in one or two volumes. Mrs. Hou was also nervous and happy, and Mrs. Hou pulled us and said bluntly that with this alone, there would be no other wife who could compare with the benefits in a few years. ”

Chen laughed and said, "Even if his family knows the goods, he knows that everything else is ordinary, and it is not easy for these two boxes of books to be ten thousand dollars." "It turns out that there is one item in Shu Mei's dowry, which is a man from the Zhang family, and all enlightened people have a copy of the book and volume - not limited to the four books and five classics, historical records, Taoist scriptures, Buddhist classics, poems and songs, famous anthologies, miscellaneous treatises, each person only chooses their own beloved hand-copied copy, and sends it to Shu Mei to commemorate. Those who are younger can only copy a copy of "University", "The Mean" and "The Book of Filial Piety"; those who are a little older and go to school have carefully selected the classic passages they copied, and even the commentaries of each person in the past dynasties have also been carefully selected and copied. There are also Changfang Zhang Pei and below, Zhang Wang father and son copied the entire "Wenzhao Gongji" and "Shan'an Collection", Zhang Yao father and son copied "Wenhua Gongji", Zhang Bi father and son copied "Gu Tang New Edition"; the second room Zhang Li and his descendants copied the "Five Classics Collection Explanation" and "Seventeen Shi Shu Justice"; the fourth room Zhang Zhan and his descendants copied the "Huangshi Fang Anthology", "Guang Ya Shu", "Dialect Notes" and other entire articles and treatises. Then there are Shumei's father Zhang Zhen, uncle Zhang Wang, Lin Hai, Huang Xing, as well as Zhang Hui, Zhang Yan, Zhang Gong and other good brothers, or the Quartet collected a variety of rare books, or with academic performance to borrow from their own library of treasures, all copied a copy, and commented on the manuscript, together to Zhang Shumei thought to add a box - to know that there are hundreds of millions of articles in the world, the vast Han Sea, and the collection of a family is abundant, compared to a drop in the bucket, it is only a drop in the bucket, One of the ten trees, the one hundred and ten men of the Zhang family's own sect, is to broaden his horizons, carefully select, and use up his time to transcribe annotations, and how can he geometry? Therefore, when the Zhang family marries a daughter, the men are concerned about this matter first, and as for the gold and silver utensils, ornaments, clothes, furniture and furnishings that are commonly used, and even the land of the house, slaves and maids and servants fall behind, or simply entrust the housekeeper to take care of it, and then don't worry about asking more. Chen knew that this custom was unique to the Gu Tangzhang family in Changzhou, and there was no second family in Manchuria, so he sent makeup and makeup on this day, and the objects next to him were carefully prepared, and it seemed that the rich and noble homes such as the Marquis of Enping Mansion were not surprising, only these two boxes of books could make people dizzy and shocked.

Yin Shi said: "I heard a lot of guests watching the ceremony, I thought that I had a lot of good books, but when I looked at it today, I could pick one of the eldest girl's dowry and go back, and it could be used as a treasure at the bottom of the box." There are several kinds of books, I heard that they are hidden in the private treasury of a few houses in Jiangnan, and the rule of 'books do not leave the cabinet' is guarded, and outsiders only have the share of greed. The old marquis also shouted to the fourth master, saying that tomorrow's wedding is on the day of the wedding I am afraid that there will not be a few more guests, and most of the bosses of their family will not be able to cope with it, so please ask the second master to take the grandfathers to go over early to press the formation!"

Chen snorted and said: "His Cai family is cheap and good, and he wants to show off!" beckoned Shu Mei, who had already blushed, to his side, and said with a smile: "Your husband is such a swaggering person, in fact, he understands it in his heart." It's rare that his family is willing to make such a gesture, but it reassures our hearts - the girl must not have a little grievance in the past. ”

After saying that, everyone congratulated Shu Mei again, and Shu Mei hid behind Chen. Chen smiled: "You guys have made enough trouble. Tomorrow is a good day for the big girl, and some are busy. All go to sleep. Seeing Shu Yi stand up, without waiting for her to open her mouth, she said: "Don't worry about instability, if you want to be together—you sisters have been sticky enough these days, and they made trouble all night last night, and they will talk about it for one night today, where will they still have the spirit tomorrow? ”

Shu Yi and the others had to give up, came up to say goodbye to Shu Mei, and agreed to come over together tomorrow to send her out. The Yin family personally sent Lin Daiyu back to the house, and the Wang family watched the ladies go back to the house to rest without mentioning it.

Here, Chen brought Shu Mei back to the room, washed and cleaned up, and lay down in wide clothes. And all those who served withdrew from the outer chamber. Chen hugged Shu Mei in his arms like hugging a child, and Shu Mei also hugged her. Chen couldn't help laughing: "The boss is still like a child. ”

Shu Mei said: "I didn't go out for a day, and I was still a child for a day." Moreover, in front of my grandmother, she grew up to seventy or eighty years old, and she was all young. ”

Chen nodded and sighed, "That's the case. It's just that in the end, you will officially go out tomorrow, and you are really an adult - it is said that the night before the girl left the cabinet, it stands to reason that she will be a mother to teach her daughter a few words. At home in Changzhou, the old lady, the fourth wife, and the eldest grandmother all told you about it. I don't need to say anything more tonight. Leave you with me as if I were a rehearsal for your sisters. ”

Shu Mei smiled: "I know." I should only listen to my wife's lessons for my second sister, third sister and fifth sister. ”

Chen smiled, closed his eyes, and paused for a while before saying, "The girl is going to someone else's house, I have two words and two things to tell you here, and I must remember it." The first sentence is to be a wife, a daughter-in-law, and a mother, the first is to be a man, to be a good person, to do the right way, and not to have a black heart, a bad heart, or a harmful heart. ”

Shu Mei snorted. Chen closed his eyes and sneered: "Do you know 'um'? What I want to tell you is that people are biased. Born with a heart in the middle of the cavity, one or two may not be found in millions of people. The so-called innate temperament, a person, some red heart, white heart, selfishness, partiality, fame and fortune, jealousy, competitiveness, high spirit, terror, cautiousness, nameless and hidden heart, and even all kinds of unkind hearts, are all natural truths. It's just that people walk in the world, and the only thing they really want to go and can walk is the dignified and righteous way. Therefore, the mind stops at the ungood, and the plan must not be evil. Once you blacken your heart and do such bad and harmful things, you will sink the whole person into the mud, and you will no longer be able to climb out or clean. It is said that the house behind the high-ranking family is private, countless unreasonable things that cannot be said and unreasonable, the same place as the big dye vat, no matter how innocent the good people are, they will be in the same dust as the light, this is pure fart. Only those miscellaneous stones and fake jade, which are originally flawed and have gaps in pipelines, will let the dirty and smelly things on the outside invade it. If a piece of red gold is really thrown into it, it is ten years and a hundred years, and what changes can be made in the fineness? Keep the original heart, truly save the character, be a good person, and do the right way, and have the heaven and the earth that are not easy for a hundred years. ”

Shu Mei listened, and couldn't help muttering two sentences, saying: "Sincerity and righteousness, admiration is worthy of it." ”

Chen chuckled when he heard this, and said, "It's easier said than done. And then there's the second sentence to tell you, listen up. But after a long pause, he said in a condensed voice: "Meigirl, you have to remember that marriage is a matter of husband and wife, what in-laws, elders, brothers, uncles, aunts, sisters-in-law and even children, all of them are false, only if the husband and wife are good, it is true." As a woman, you either don't marry at home, but if you want to marry, the man you marry will be your life for the rest of your life! If you live, you will only sleep in the same bed with this one, and when you die, you will only be buried under the same mound with this one! Therefore, since you are a husband and wife, the first person you want to be good to him is your man, and the only person you have to care about and be good to him is your man. As long as the husband and wife are good at heart, you will be slandered everywhere, slandered in everything, complained from top to bottom, and hated dogs, but you will be able to stand firm in your husband's family! If it is the other way around, no one in the whole house will say that it is bad, but only if the husband does not like it, it is he who really suffers himself, and he should be clean when he dies! Or even if he dies, he is just a fool, and he may not be worthy of more sympathy and pity. ”

She said this, Shu Mei felt a storm in her heart, cold sweat trickled out all of a sudden, and her body couldn't move. However, Chen Shi realized it early, reached out and touched it, wiped it on her forehead, and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice. So she turned over, poured tea to the side with her own hands and told Shu Mei to drink, and soaked a veil in warm water to wipe her face. For a while, he calmed his eyebrows and said to Chen: "It's the granddaughter who is out of business." ”

Chen Shi looked at her, knowing that his words were sincere, and he was also happy, hugged him in his arms, and sighed: "My words are also heavy, but this is the reason." You are the smartest, and no matter what else you do, these people in your family can see it all these years. For example, how close can you be to the old lady? For example, your eldest aunt and grandmother, the old lady and the old lady are hired to enter the door, but they are not in the eyes of their mother-in-law--they are from a low background, but they are just a talented daughter; they are literate but have never read any books, they cannot write essays and poems, and they do not know the scriptures and history; they are too straightforward in nature, they do not hide everything, and when they walk in a gust of wind, they even talk and joke louder than ordinary women, and they bring your aunts who have not left the cabinet to break the rules. But there was no movement after entering the door for three years, and it was easy to get pregnant and fall off, and the famous doctors and doctors in ten miles and eight towns all had no hope...... This has to be exchanged for other women, it shouldn't be a dead end, what else can there be to live? But his husband and wife are good. The status of your mother's family is low, and your uncle personally went into battle to teach his two brothers-in-law and nephew to study and go to school; he didn't know poetry, literature, and history, so he made up allusions and jokes to tell her two times for three days, and anyone could answer anything; he offended people if he was straightforward and careless, and the big and small thorns in the family were first brushed up, and he peeled off his face like a decades old face to make an appearance for other people, and taught her to be obedient and in charge of the family; that is, in the end, everyone was the heir of the amulet, and in a blink of an eye, he could raise a good child and give her a lifelong reliance—— Eyebrows, this is what I want to tell you, a good husband and wife is the top one. All the things in this world that will be difficult for women, but as long as a man has sincerity and is willing to stand out, it will be difficult to be difficult for a woman!"

When Shu Mei heard this, her heart shook and she couldn't help but feel distressed, and she only said, "Grandma...... The eldest aunt is also too difficult. I was so old in my parents, but I never knew it. I thought that in the future, I would take my aunt as an example. Now it seems that I am superficial and reckless, and I have underestimated people. ”

Chen shook his head and sighed with a smile: "I said it all, this is difficult and difficult, if it is not difficult, it is really not difficult." She is a person with a good character, a lot of energy, and smart and willing to learn, dare to do everything, and will definitely take care of it to the end, not hiding or pushing, and her ability is polished and refined little by little. In addition, with your uncle's support and sharing, and the old lady taking care of it, life will naturally go smoothly. Compared to her, you have a better foundation than her, your own talent is not bad, and your mother's family is more confident, so you should be better than Yicheng. When you get to Cai's house, you have to use her as an analogy, which is also a legitimate shortcut. It's just that there is an old saying, 'Those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die', you just learn from her character, and act in detail, the Zhang family is the Zhang family, and the Cai family is the Cai family. Even if the old lord and Mrs. Hou really want you to bring a set to our family, they will only be on studying, going to school, and teaching people's children - from tomorrow, follow your uncle and be a decent Cai family with skin and bones, do you understand what I mean?"

Shu Mei nodded and understood. Chen looked at the hour again, and Fang urged her to hurry up and go to bed. Shu Mei put his body on the bed, closed his eyes and calmed down, but in his heart he repeatedly touched and carefully weighed Chen's teaching, not only deeply feeling Chen's mercy and love, but also not ashamed of himself, lest he live up to his expectations, and then he would worry about his relatives. Hearing that Chen was sleeping steadily, he cried silently. However, he didn't dare to be reckless, and wasted his energy so that he couldn't support it the next day, urging himself to sleep.

This was done until dawn, and the description was affected in the end. It's a shame that newcomers have always had heavy makeup, and they can be covered up. And everyone is hard to give up, and it is common for her daughter to cry when she leaves the cabinet, and no one talks much. It's just that Shu Yi brought the sisters to surround and make fun of them, telling the Chen, Yin, and Wang to laugh and disperse. Then marry, worship, and merge, it should be lively and unforgettable.
