After Zhang Qiong finished the ceremony, Jia and Zhang's family invited another master to calculate the day, a total of two days, one is the eighth day of the fourth month, and the other is the eighteenth day of the lunar month. The old lady felt that the second day was too far away, so she set it for the eighth day of the fourth month a month later, which happened to be the Buddha's birthday. And the big gift was placed eight days before the first day, the first day of April, but fortunately, the two families had already been approved and did not seem to be in a hurry.

Jia Daishan learned that his son's wedding date had been set, so he thought that he had become a family and an adult, and his errand had been for more than a year, but now he has not yet had a word, although the man and the crown take the word, but Jia Yu is going to get married, this table word can also be taken, he wanted to ask Zhang Changgong to take the word for him, but before he went to ask the Zhang family, the will of the saint came down, and took the word Enhou for Jia Yu. In addition, he gave the saint a royal pen plaque and a good daughter-in-law, and for a time the holy grace of Rongguo Mansion continued. What followed was the gift of the queen and various maidens in the palace, all in pairs, one sent to the Rongguo Mansion, and the other to the Zhang family.

Zhang Qiong is the object of envy and jealousy of the daughter who has not been out of the palace in the capital. Mrs. Zhang was very happy for her daughter when she saw this, and she felt that this family was paired, if she changed to another family, how could she have this grace.

This matter has little to do with Jia Yu, as long as the big wedding appears, Jia Amnesty's family affairs are approaching, the old lady has prepared the dowry, and on the first day of the fourth month, she will be hired directly, and in eight days it will be the wedding day, and she will be able to marry the granddaughter-in-law she misses.

The old lady also only raised such a grandson, as the sister-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, the dowry naturally could not be shabby, the old lady's dowry is very generous, the dowry in addition to the necessary cakes, tea, sugar, three animals, dowry and other things, all kinds of colors of clothing are used in Shu brocade and even Yun brocade, pearls and jade gems are also packed in boxes, as well as large boxes of gems from the South Seas, there are also twelve sets of gold head Xiangyu noodles, all of which are made by a master with good craftsmanship, corresponding to the twelve flower gods, each set is extremely exquisite and magnificent. Counting the value of the gold and silver in the dowry, the dowry in Jiafu is 50,000 taels. There are also many things, which money can't buy at all, such as the pair of coral bonsai that are nearly two feet high, red as fire. There are also the unpolished carved red sapphires the size of pigeon eggs, the smooth and round pearls, the pure color, the same size, all of which are first-class southern pearls, and the jadeite of the old pit glass, although they are not polished, but these are good things that can be passed down as heirlooms, and they are piled up in two large rooms.

The generosity of Rongguo Mansion amazed the people who participated in Dading, but there were also many people who disagreed, after all, the wedding gifts of Rongguo Mansion were all gold and silver, and people like them paid more attention to lonely calligraphy and paintings.

No matter what others think, the Zhang family is still very satisfied with this dowry.

The eighth day of the fourth month is Jia Yu's wedding day, but on the seventh day of the first month, the man urges the makeup, and the woman sends the makeup, and these dowries must be exposed in both families to show their wealth.

Early in the morning, Jia Yu came to the old lady's courtyard, saying auspicious to amuse the old lady, and the old people in the old lady's courtyard also joked about Jia Yu, the old lady was so troubled by them that she smiled, hugged Jia Yu and called "heart and liver": "Tomorrow, this granddaughter-in-law will pass through the door, and they all say that there is a daughter-in-law who has forgotten her mother, and then you can forget your grandmother." It's okay to forget, as long as you can give your grandmother a few great-grandchildren and a few more. ”

Rao is Jia Yu had wandered among the flowers, and his face turned red when he heard this, and he hurriedly transferred in a hurry, "Yu'er is going to Zhang's house to urge makeup, grandmother, you tell me what to pay attention to, don't lose the face of our Rongguo Mansion when the time comes." ”

The old lady said: "There is nothing to pay attention to in this hypnotic makeup, as long as you follow the rules, you don't have to be too nervous." ”

The old lady will talk about the makeup urging to Jia Yu in detail, and after a while, the little girl next to Jia Yu Chang Fulai, "Old lady, the auspicious time for this makeup is coming, and the master is waiting for the uncle in Rongxi Hall." ”

When the old lady heard this, she straightened Jia Yu's auspicious clothes, and said: "Go, don't let your father wait for a long time, my pardon has grown up, and he is about to start a family." After speaking, his eyes were slightly red and contained tears.

"Grandmother, don't cry, when your grandson marries his daughter-in-law and comes back, isn't there one more person to honor you."

"Grandmother didn't cry, she was happy. Go, don't delay the auspicious time. ”

Rongxi Hall, Jia Daishan looked at his eldest son in a crimson costume and sighed: "Tomorrow is the day of your wedding, this is an adult, you have become an adult, you have to treat her well if you marry a girl back, and you must take on the responsibility of being a husband and a father after being a son." ”

"Father, son understands."

"Well, alright, you go."

Rongguo Mansion has a wide range of contacts, and the eight people who urge makeup are all the eldest sons of the Jingzhong Jue family, and all of them are like crowned jade, which is very outstanding. As soon as the auspicious time came, they followed Jia Yu to Zhang's house.

The Zhang family was also full of lights on this day, because Zhang Changgong was the head of the Hanlin Academy, and most of the civil officials of the dynasty brought their inner sons to add makeup to Zhang Qiong. Zhang Qiong's dowry list is full of more than 20 pieces of paper, densely listed with all kinds of utensils, antique calligraphy and painting, gold and jade heads, clothing and medicinal materials, etc., the most fancy of these readers is the only book that is integrated into a set, Zhang Changgong thought that Najia Mansion was originally born in a reckless manner, and he followed the □□ to fight the world to get the title of the duke, so he just copied the books handed down by his ancestors, all of them were copied and put into Zhang Qiong's dowry, which really made people itch.

Jia Yu and others came to Zhang's house, and a lot of people who came to add makeup also dispersed. Jia Yu first met Zhang Changgong, and at this time the Zhang family had already set up a banquet, and Jia Yu and the others just put down the tea cup slightly. After the Zhang family's makeup was sent with Jia Yu and others set off in a mighty way, the beginning was the palace lady gave four sets, followed by thirty-six sets of high-quality rosewood Jin Nan furniture cabinets and ornaments, and then there were twenty-six sets of quilt pillows, four seasons clothes, all kinds of silk and satin fabrics, followed by eighteen precious books and paintings, and another thirty-eight hanging gold and jade jewelry, rouge, gouache, spices and antiques, plus two fifty hectares of granges, two manors, two five-entry courtyards, and six shops. There are six maids to marry, six grandmothers, and six households. There are a total of 134 units.

In addition, in addition to the Jia family's bridal gold of 50,000 taels of silver, Mrs. Zhang added an additional 30,000 taels of silver, which happened to be 80,000 taels of silver tickets at the bottom of the box. Because of taking care of the two daughters-in-law in the family, Zhang Qiong's dowry is so much on the surface, and no one knows how much Zhang Changgong and Mrs. Zhang gave in private.

The long queue of dowries in Zhang's Mansion occupied the entire street, and the leader had already arrived at Rongguo Mansion, and half of them had not gone out in the back, which was impressive, attracting many passers-by to watch. Previously, some people thought that the Zhang family was a scholarly family and a noble family did not expect to prepare so many dowries for their daughters, and they saw that the people who held the list of dowries and sang changed three or four, and the dowry was sent in two hours, and the dowry sent by the Zhang family was all close relatives, and they returned after the banquet in Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Daishan discussed with the old lady, there were a lot of people invited this time, so Rongguo Mansion invited male guests here, and Ning Guofu invited female guests, just so that men and women were separated, and it was also in case of any accidents. When Jia Daishan saw the more than a dozen boxes full of books, he felt that this daughter-in-law was suitable to marry, his father was a high-ranking official, the dowry was rich, and the brothers were angry, and he really supported each other with Rongguofu.

Outside, Jia Jing and Shi Bang were entertaining guests with Jia Zheng, and the chief housekeeper counted the hours and released the silver seal reward.

Jia Shishi and other female dependents were secretly surprised when they saw the dowry sent by the Zhang family, the Zhang family was so rich, although it was one hundred and forty units on the surface, but many large pieces of furniture were still carried to Rongguo Mansion in advance, and they were not counted among them.

In her opinion, the Zhang family's family background is not obvious, and Jia Yu does not have her heart, as long as the marriage is done on face, there is no need to give too much face to the daughter of an official family. It's a pity that she has long lost the right to stewardship, although the marriage is the order of the parents, but there is also a husband for the wife, Jia Daishan said that Jia pardon the marriage is completely decided by the old lady, and Jia Shishi has no place to speak.

Now, Jia Shi's look at this row of dowries, which is a few points better than her back then, before she thought that the Zhang family Wujue was just a civil official from the second grade, but now it seems that the family is really deep, but in the future, how can she hold her mother-in-law's shelf here, and the guests who are doing it can't help but envy Jia Yu, not to mention anything else, this dowry is as much as two of their daughter-in-law's. Although there are so many things to remember on the surface, whose daughter is married and not private.

Zhang's mansion, in Zhang Qiong's boudoir, Mrs. Zhang was pulling her and instructed: "Qiong'er, I understand that you are going to get married and become another woman, this daughter-in-law is not as good as being a girl at home, you should be careful when you go to Jia's house." My mother also told me about the Jia family, that aunt was raised by an old lady since he was a child, and you will have to honor the old lady in the future, you know? ”

"Daughter, I know," said Mrs. Zhang with a silk handkerchief, "Mother don't cry, even if your daughter is married, she can often come back to see you and her father." ”

"Nonsense, how can there be a reason why girls who go out of the pavilion often go back to their parents' homes? Okay, just come back during the New Year's holiday, and then you have to come back with your aunt, in addition, if you have nothing to do, don't always think about going back to your mother's house, then your mother-in-law's family will be unhappy. Although Mrs. Zhang also hoped that her daughter would come back often, she could only strictly advise her because of etiquette.

Zhang Qiong also understood that what her mother said was right, so she had to respond helplessly: "Got it, mother." ”

In the end, Mrs. Zhang coughed embarrassedly twice before whispering: "Qiong'er, this way of husband and wife has another meaning, the husband is yang, the wife is yin, and the combination of yin and yang can give birth to offspring...... Anyway, you're going to take a closer look at the little book at the bottom of the box tonight,"

Zhang Qiong listened to the ignorance, and she didn't quite understand what her mother said, but the four words of the way of husband and wife made her very shy.

The wedding was a grand affair with two guests.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear, and the old lady saw it and thought it was a good omen. Rongguo Mansion got up early from the lord to the next man to start preparing for the wedding, and the guests from all over the family came to the door when they were young, and the wedding was sounded. The word is from the woman, from the faint, and the faint is also the voice. In ancient times, the word marriage was dusk, that is, when a woman got married at dusk, the bright moon illuminated the road, as if walking on the road of light and happiness, so it was a night salute, and after the auspicious time arrived, Jia Yu wore a red wedding dress and rode a horse to Zhang's house to greet her relatives.

Jia Yu took the eight people who urged makeup to be embarrassed at the door of Zhang's house for a while, not to mention the countless red envelopes, and there were three eldest brothers who were there to stop, Jia Yu racked his brains to fight the eldest brother-in-law to argue that the second brother-in-law had passed five levels and killed six generals, and then entered the door of Zhang's house.

After entering the Zhang family, Jia Yu first met the three brothers of the Zhang family, then went to worship Lin Changgong, counted the gift of thanking his relatives, and then went to the boudoir to salute and urge him to welcome his relatives. Jia Yu was born handsome, and the red wedding dress lined his jade tree in the wind, Zhang Changgong saw the square and said: "I have a daughter of Qiong'er, and now I have to treat her well." ”

"Please rest assured, Lord Taishan, my son-in-law will treat him well."

Zhang Changgong asked Zhang Xuan to lead him to Zhang Qiong's courtyard, Jia Yu stared at the boudoir with his eyes, his face was a little festive, and he gave Zhang Xuan a smile and said, "I'm tired of my uncle." According to the rules, the bride's brother and uncle carried him into the sedan chair.

In Zhang Qiong's boudoir, Mrs. Zhang and her two daughters-in-law were there, Zhang Qiong was wearing a wedding dress with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and a crown of beads on her head, which was very dazzling.

This wedding dress was carefully customized for Zhang Qiong by Mrs. Zhang's Suzhou embroidery workshop for a year, and the workmanship was really ingenious and gorgeous. At first, the two sisters-in-law of the Zhang family ate a lot of vinegar. The red wedding dress made Zhang Qiong more and more white and delicate, and she was stunned by the makeup of the whole mother, so she praised that Zhang Qiong was the reincarnation of Luoshen, like a fairy concubine. She had never seen such a beautiful bride among the married women she dressed.

Zhang Qiong, dressed up in a new makeup, stood slowly, the people in the house were even more amazing, the original Zhang Qiong didn't like to apply grease and touch powder at home, if you want to go out as a guest, just paint your eyebrows a little and apply some facial grease, usually just plain face, Mrs. Zhang has said many times for this and has not seen it change, so the family is also used to her delicate appearance, I really didn't talk about how she dressed up, and now after this grandmother's skillful hand, it is really like a judgment of the two, bright and glamorous, and it really stunned people.

The sister-in-law of the Zhang family immediately teased Zhang Qiong and said: "Sister, look at your makeup, your sister-in-law is stunned." When I got to the cave room, my uncle took off the hijab and saw my sister's face, but I didn't want to stay, but what should I do then. After saying that, he laughed, and the servants in the house followed suit.

"Sister-in-law, you're laughing at people."

At this time, the sound of firecrackers outside the house sounded, and it was known that the sedan chair to welcome the relatives was coming. Zhang Qiong suddenly burst into tears like the pearls that had scattered, and Mrs. Zhang also comforted her with red circles when she saw it, "Qiong'er, the girl will marry when she is older, and my mother only hopes that you will be good, and you will be back again in three days, and you will be able to come back again. After speaking, he wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, but fortunately she didn't get her makeup wet, and the people next to her were comforted. Although Zhang Qiong looked weak, her temperament was actually soft and steely, and she was afraid that her mother would be sad, so she restrained her mind, smiled, took Mrs. Zhang's hand, and whispered, "When your daughter gets married, she can't come back often, you can pay more attention to your body." The recipe I studied before, you remember to take more supplements. ”

Then he gave a gift to the two sisters-in-law, and said: "Father, mother is old, I hope the two sisters-in-law will take care of me, Qiong'er has thanked her." ”

The two of them hurriedly said: "This is our duty, please rest assured sister." ”

Mrs. Zhang reluctantly said: "You can rest assured about the affairs of the family, if your uncle bullies you in the future, you will let someone give a little letter to the family, and your father is the master for you." After speaking, he covered it with a red handkerchief of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and asked Zhang Xuan to carry the person out, and the bride from Rongguofu led the way in front of him and sent it to the sedan chair.

Looking at the big red sedan chair, Jia Yu couldn't help laughing, thinking about the days that have passed since he proposed marriage for more than a year, it is really not easy to marry her, the three brothers of the family are both civil and military, and they only make Jia Yu almost didn't cry, especially because the third child is close to Zhang Qiong in age and has a very good relationship, and he is even thinking of ways to embarrass him, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang has not married home, Jia Yu can't wait to teach these three brothers a lesson, so as to relieve his anger.

The team circled around the capital before coming to Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yu took a bow and arrow to the sedan curtain and sent three arrows, Xi Niang helped Zhang Qiong to get off the sedan chair, dressed in a red embroidered wedding dress, covered with a Xipa, holding a treasure bottle in his hand, like jade and fat, although he did not see his appearance, he also knew that the girl of the Zhang family was a fairy-like beauty. Stepping over the saddle, stepping over the brazier and stepping on the red felt, he put down the treasure bottle in his hand, changed it to a big red silk flower, and was dragged into the happy hall by Jia Yu.

Xitang is located in Rongxi Hall, Jia Daishan and Jia Shishi are doing a high position, after three worships, Jia Yu supported the bride, solemnly kowtowed to the old lady, the people who watched the ceremony were praised, Jia Yu is well-educated, the old lady is so blessed, Jia Shishi who listened to the side was full of anger, but he couldn't say it on this occasion, so he had to be secretly angry.

After the ceremony was completed, the newlyweds entered the cave room, sat in the tent according to the way of men and women, and Mrs. Quanfu sprinkled the lotus seeds, peanuts, red dates and other mascots to the newlyweds, and said auspicious words while sprinkling, which was the tent. Jia Jing's daughter-in-law and Mrs. Shi of Ningguo Mansion and several good ladies and wives of the family were in the wedding room, and the bride held the wedding scale and said: "Please use the wedding scale to provoke the Xipa, and from then on you will be satisfied." ”

Jia Yu was a little nervous, but he still forced the sweat of his palms to twist the sweat, took the Xi scale, and gently picked up the Xi Pa.

Zhang Qiong was very nervous in this strange happy room, this Xipa lifted, her eyes saw the light of the candle at first glance, she couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Jia Yu, blushed shyly, and then lowered her head and looked away. Everyone saw the bride's beauty clearly, and they all praised and praised Zhang Qiong for being like a fairy beauty in that day, and then said that Jia Yu was really lucky to marry such a beauty.

Zhang Qiong's little face was astringent, and she looked more and more beautiful in the candlelight, Jia Yu's heart fluttered, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she stood there and watched. didn't even react to the wedding lady asking her to make a wedding ceremony.

The people in the room laughed when they saw it, and Jia Qian smiled, "Why is the big brother stunned?" After drinking a glass of wine, it's not too late for my brother to take a slow look at his sister-in-law. ”

Jia Yu came to his senses at this time, although he was a little shy, but the smile on the corner of his lips couldn't be erased, so people smiled and smiled.

Xi Niang came up with her children and grandchildren, and there were two pairs of dragon and phoenix chopsticks on the plate. This ceremony was completed, and the bride left. Jia Yu went out to toast, and the ladies in the happy room also dispersed, and Zhang Qiong was more relaxed.

Jia Yu, as the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, came to the family of meritorious service, the four kings and eight princes all came, and the people sitting at this table were all the kings of Nan'an County, the king of Xining County, the king of Beijing County and other princes, and this table was also the chief, and Jia Daishan of the Ronggong personally sat with him. Jia Yu came to toast first, and the person at the table was a noble person, so he let Jia Yu go after drinking a glass of wine.

Jia's family is a national mansion, there are many communicators, and Jia Yu likes to play antiques, and there are many children of the family who like this, and there are some like-minded people, Rao is Jia Yu's seepage water wine, and this circle is also a little dizzy to drink, fortunately, there is an eight-urge person to help him block the wine, and he didn't leave until he was satisfied, and everyone surrounded Jia Yu into the cave room, and they all left.
