Lin Yaxuan stood at the end and looked at the counting, where the head was a jade carving of the two immortals given by the Queen Mother, and the back was a pair of jade Ruyi given by the emperor, and then there was a gold collar inlaid with Dongzhu coral, three gold hairpins of the size of the pearl, three pairs of gold earrings embedded with two East Pearls, two pairs of gold bracelets, twelve pairs of gold and silver Ruyi, 100 gold and silver buttons, 100 gold and silver buttons, dozens of mink skins, otter skins, fox skins and all kinds of jackets and bedding, 100 pieces of silk, 300 catties of cotton, dining room, tea room, There are countless silver plates, silver bowls, silver pots, silver plates, etc. used in the tea room.

And the things given to Lin Penghai and Mrs. Wang were packed in the color pavilion, and the minister of praise and the minister of the interior had already led people to pick them up.
After returning, the minister sang on the side, giving Lin Penghai ten taels of gold, seven hundred taels of silver, a fox fur court dress, a sable hat, a gold belt ring, a hand towel, a purse ear digging tube and other accessories, and a saddle horse.
Three pairs of gold earrings were given to Mrs. Wang with pearls, a fox skin robe, six otter skins, and a delicately carved saddle horse.
The dowry for Lin Zhixuan has been welcomed into the main hall, stacked horizontally in the main hall, and the gifts given to Lin Penghai and Mrs. Wang are placed on the steps outside the main hall.
The horses are displayed in the middle of the stairs.
After this rite of worship was over, Lin Penghai led his children to kneel three times and bow nine times to the east of the palace under the middle step, and Mrs. Wang led her female dependents to go west under the middle step to kneel three times and bow three times.
After kowtowing, it was too cold outside after all, although there was a mat on the ground, Lin Ruoxuan was still a little tired and pale, her belly was big, and it was very inconvenient to kneel and kowtow, Lin Zhixuan comforted her softly: "It's almost good." ā
Lin Ruoxuan forced a smile on Lin Zhixuan and said, "It's okay." ā
Sure enough, after the ceremony, the people of the palace began to rush in again, and set up a banquet in the Lin family, and the palace prepared 50 tables of wine banquets, 36 sheep, 50 tables of gluttonous tables, and 50 jars of rice wine, which have been sent. Fortunately, there are officials from Honglu Temple to lead the salute, and Qintianjian sends officials to raise the hour. It also saved Mrs. Wang and Lin Penghai a lot of effort.
After all, today, all the dukes and princes, ministers, guards, officials and wives above the second rank who are not in class have gathered in the Lin Mansion for a banquet.
Wei Mingxu was accompanied by Lin Penghai, Wang Jingsheng and Wei Yingxiang to the banquet in the outer hall, and sat down in the hall at noon. Mrs. Wang accompanied the wives of each family to the banquet in the inner hall.
At the banquet, tea, fruit, wine, and food were served, and two classes of operas were invited, and music was played inside and outside the banquet.
Lin Zhixuan saluted outside, completed the emperor's marriage ceremony, and had to go back to the room to change clothes, and sat on the kang, Wang Peizhen and others discussed at that time to let Mrs. Mu, who was full of children and grandchildren, be Lin Zhixuan's Mrs. Quanfu, and when Lin Zhixuan returned to the room and sat on the kang, Mrs. Mu personally handed over the jade Ruyi sent by the palace to Lin Zhixuan, and said some auspicious words, this jade is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the warm touch comes from between her fingers.
Lin Yaxuan watched with the wives and grandmothers who came to watch the ceremony, watched the full hall celebrate, and watched Mrs. Mu and Lin Zhixuan say words of blessing, but as if they had nothing to do with herself, she suddenly remembered what Mu Guifei said to her in Yongshou Palace that day.
She will soon be a member of the Mu family, the water spilled by the married daughter, the Mu family will be named in front of her name, and she will have nothing to do with the Lin family from now on, only the Mu family will protect her, can protect her, can help her, let her no longer succumb to Lin Zhixuan, let her no longer huddle in this small corner, watching Lin Zhixuan be congratulated by thousands of people and be rewarded like this.
Lin Yaxuan decided to go to Mu Yijie, so she took advantage of the excitement and pushed and crowded away alone.
Today's engagement banquet, it is rare that Lin Zhixuan is not allowed to go out to entertain guests.
The people in the room were all scattered, but Lin Zhixuan still had to sit on the kang with Yu Ruyi in her hand for a while, accompanied by Qiu Ju and Dongmei, talking about the good bride price, and smiling with joy on her face.
Lin Zhixuan's hand slowly stroked the jade Ruyi in her hand, nodded and said: "It's not extravagant, it's not simple, and it's in line with the ritual system, although it's not a wedding in a city, but it's rare and not easy to be criticized at this time. It's really good to have two poops like that. ā
Qiu Ju was listening to Lin Zhixuan say, and after a while, Gu's mother came back from outside.
Lin Zhixuan invited her in, and Gu's mother saluted Lin Zhixuan with a smile on her face: "Congratulations to the girl." ā
Lin Zhixuan asked Qiu Ju to help her up quickly, and then asked her, "Is it okay over there?"
Gu's mother looked worried: "I haven't been noticed anything, it's just that the month of spring peach is getting bigger and bigger, and my body is not comfortable and tight, I asked the doctor to show her twice, saying that the fetal position is not correct, and I am afraid that it will be born prematurely." ā
Lin Zhixuan wrinkled her eyebrows for a long time before she said: "If you are born prematurely or not, you must take good care of her now, and those who take edible medicine will follow her, anyway, it won't be long before the second brother will enter Beijing, and his people, when he enters Beijing, he will deal with it himself." ā
Gu's mother smiled when she heard this, and said, "Hey, the girl's meaning is mine." ā
Lin Zhixuan said with a smile: "These days are also hard for mothers, when her child is born, you will come back, this matter has nothing to do with us anymore." ā
Gu's mother nodded happily.
The banquet outside is a day, people come and go, rejoicing in the joy of others, and lively with the excitement of others.
Lin Zhixuan suddenly thought about it and asked, "What has Lin Yaxuan been doing these days? Are you still safe?Did you ask clearly about the last time you went to Mu's house?"
Xia Lan, who was counting and packing up the bride price with Dongmei, asked, "Ah": "Girl, I forgot about it, I'll go and inquire." ā
With that, he hurried away.
Looking at her appearance, she couldn't help but laugh, looking at the ingot of silver on the tray piled in the house, and suddenly remembered the word "peace of mind" he gave when she came to the capital. I'm a little annoyed by my pettiness.
Qiu Ju also accompanied Lin Zhixuan to talk: "Girl, where did you say that when you marry the prince of the Jingwang Mansion, you will let you live? Isn't the main house of the palace occupied by Concubine Meng? Where will the girl live?"
When Qiu Ju mentioned it, Lin Zhixuan remembered that Meng Zelan's eyes were quite strange when she looked at her these days, and her marriage to Wei Mingxu really surprised too many people, but there were too many things behind her, and Lin Zhixuan couldn't step forward one by one to grab them and explain them clearly, and this matter was originally unclear.
Meng Zelan felt that she was hiding something from her, and she always smiled a little reluctantly in front of her, but what about Chu Nan?
The first time I heard about Wei Mingxu was from her mouth, and it was because of her that she met Wei Mingxu, she was defenseless against herself, but she didn't want to end up getting to this point by mistake, she must have felt betrayed in her heart, and it was the betrayal of her best sister from childhood to adulthood, and she must have been uneasy in her heart.
Lin Zhixuan didn't answer Qiu Ju's words, but suddenly remembered and asked Qiu Ju: "In two days, the old lady of the Mu family will have her birthday, will Chu Nan pass?"
Qiu Jujian asked: "If you want to come, you will pass, my aunt and grandmother will rely on our family, and she won't come if she doesn't come." The Mu family and the Wang family are not far away, and they will still keep the etiquette if they want to come. ā
Lin Zhixuan listened to Qiu Ju and glanced at her with a smile: "Do you think Chu Nan is a little sexual?"
Qiu Ju said with a smile: "Qiu Ju doesn't dare, it's just that the girl and Aunt Chu Nan have been so good since they were children, and when the time comes, when they meet and say a few words to themselves, this matter will disappear." ā
Not long after, Xia Lan came back and said to Lin Zhixuan with a little trepidation: "Girl, the fourth girl did not go to the Mu family that day, but followed the fifth girl of the Mu family into the palace. ā
