Chapter 7: Back to the door
7 back doors
According to the rules, the bride must get up early to greet her parents the next day after marriage, and the bride must give tea to the man's parents, give gifts to the man's siblings, and also receive gifts from the man's family. For parents, this is the so-called "drinking daughter-in-law tea". After the tea ceremony, the new daughter-in-law is taken by her parents to the ancestral hall to worship, and then the father records her name in the family tree, which is the last step in the wedding in addition to the return ceremony of the man's family, so that the new daughter-in-law officially becomes a member of the family. A woman who has not gone through this step is not a wife, even if the man carries her into the door and gives birth to a dozen children in a big red sedan chair, she is at best a concubine among the concubines of the wife of the hired person, and she is not qualified to write her name on the family tree, nor is she qualified to enter the ancestral hall, and she does not enjoy the sacrifice of the male family after death; If it's a house, it's okay not to enter the door, at least you can deceive yourself and let the next person call grandma, as soon as you enter the door, in front of the main room, your original form will be revealed.
Jia Yu woke up early, holding his head and looking intently at Zhang's tear-stained sleeping face. Zhang was really tossed by him last night, and he frowned slightly when he fell asleep. Sensing that someone was looking at her, Zhang suddenly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he was facing Jia Yu's face in front of him, and he didn't react for a while that it was his new husband, and he almost didn't scream.
Jia Yu couldn't help but smile and gently pushed his wife: "Anning, we have to get up, we still have to go and say hello to the old lady and the old lady." ”
Zhang's whole person shrunk into the red and gold, sprinkled flowers and lilies all over the place, and refused to come out, this person is so serious, she still ・・・・・・ how dare she go out!
Jia Yu almost laughed out loud, he was afraid that his little wife would be annoyed and angry because of her thin skin, so he raised his voice and called the maid Tianqing, who was waiting outside, to come in and wait to go to the ear room to bathe. Zhang waited until he was gone before letting the maid come in and wait, and the dressing room caught a glimpse of a grandmother who seemed to have been waiting for a long time to take something from the bed, and Zhang's already red face was almost on fire.
The newlywed courtyard is not far from the old lady's courtyard, but it is quite far from the Rongxi Hall where Jia Daishanshi's family lives, but yesterday the old lady drank a little wine happily, so she rested on the side of the Rongxi Hall, and the two didn't have to run at both ends.
Zhang held the girl's hand and walked slowly, while listening to her husband introduce her to the people in the family. She is a very smart girl, and she soon found out: her husband mentions his grandmother with admiration, his father mentions his father with admiration with loss, and when he mentions his mother, Shi, he just says: "Mrs. loves her second brother very much." ”
It's not good to say that you love the second brother, don't mention anything else, and then think that Jia Yu's marriage is decided by the old grandmother, Zhang's heart immediately counted, but he didn't dare to be sure. When the tea is toasted and the gift is received, the original five-point guess becomes an eight-point affirmation.
There are three generations in the Jia family, and the gift given by Shi looks good, but it is actually the thinnest, and it is not even as good as the one given by Jia Daishan, the old man; And the three juniors, Jia Zheng's return gift directly made Zhang's gasp: he actually gave Zhang's four treasures of the study!
Is Zhang a woman or a sister-in-law, what is the matter if you give her a set of four treasures of the study! Of course, it's okay to let your sister-in-law read and learn calligraphy, but is this what you should do as an uncle? If it weren't for the good tutoring, the Zhang family would like to ask Jia Zheng if he is stupid to read, why do you think such a gift is appropriate on such an occasion?
Jia Yu had a straight face from beginning to end, and he couldn't see the intimacy with the Zhang family before, in fact, his stomach was about to laugh. He can be sure that Jia Zheng is hypocritical and ambitious, but he also has a fatal point: he can't be a man! In other words, there is no diamond but he prefers to do porcelain work, and Shi and the future Wang are his diamonds, as long as he deals with these two, he can crush him to death just by virtue of his brother's identity.
Glancing at the two concubines who were cowering and barely had a sense of zài, Jia Yu lamented that the Shi family's house fighting ability was strong, so that Jia Daishan's more than a dozen concubines could not support a concubine, and at the same time, he also lamented the strength of Shi's ability to teach bad children - Jia Zheng has become a hypocrite; Jia Min, find a concubine for herself to fight; Jia Lian has forgotten who his parents are; Jia Baoyu, that is a second ancestor, said that all the sons and daughters of the gentlemen have promoted him!
Therefore, when he came to his senses and heard Shi Shi teaching him: "If you become a family, you will be an adult, and in the future, if you have your brother who is sensible, I will die immediately and be willing・・・・・・" Shi almost laughed out - as sensible as Jia Zheng? Madam, why do I think you are as naïve as Jia Zheng now? Grandmother is still around!
Sure enough, the old lady interrupted Shi lightly: "What are you talking about on a good day, you love to think cranky when your body is sinking, so let's have a good baby." ”
What is this talking about her? Shi Shi was so angry that he almost tore the veil, but he didn't dare to refute the old lady and endured it. Jia Daishan was unaware of the confrontation between his wife and mother, and happily opened the ancestral hall and wrote Zhang's name into it, and from then on Zhang was Jia Yu's wife.
Newlyweds have their own holidays. For the next three days, Jia Yu and Zhang's stayed in their yard and didn't go anywhere, you and I couldn't be separated, and when I returned to the door on the third day, Zhang's was as delicate as flowers.
Returning to the door is the final step of the whole wedding, and the two families have officially become in-laws. Jia Yu escorted his wife's sedan chair to the second gate of the Zhang family and couldn't enter, reluctantly watched the sedan chair disappear behind the greenery, and looked back at the eldest brother of the Zhang family who had been looking at him with a smile.
Returning to the door is not only to confirm the relationship between the two families, but also the day when the son-in-law sends it to the door to toss the Yue family. On this day, no matter how the Yue family tosses, the son-in-law can't be angry, and he has to smile and be respectful - after all, you marry someone else's palm pearl, you have to make people angry, right? Of course, everyone has a sense of proportion.
When Jia Yu was fighting the father and son of the Zhang family in the outer house, the Zhang family was talking privately with Mrs. Zhang.
As soon as Mrs. Zhang saw her daughter, she grabbed her and looked at her carefully, and only relieved her mind when she saw that her daughter was radiant and there was nothing wrong. Zhang was very embarrassed by his mother, and said coquettishly: "Mother, don't you recognize your daughter if you don't see her for three days?" ”
Mrs. Zhang pointed a finger on her daughter's smooth forehead: "You little conscienceless, who am I for?" ”
In the end, Mrs. Zhang asked her subordinates to step back and asked quietly, "Is my uncle good to you?" ”
Zhang's face turned red all of a sudden, and he hung his head and was silent. Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "You kid, are you going to kill me in a hurry!" What can't be said to my mother? I'm just your daughter, I just hope you have a good life, if you don't say it, how can you be a mother? ”
The Zhang family couldn't help it, so they brought everything they saw and heard in Jia's mansion. When Mrs. Zhang learned that Jia pardoned Shi's displeasure, she couldn't help beating her chest: "I didn't want you to go to the prince's mansion as a concubine earlier, so I allowed you to enter the mansion, but who knew that I ran into an eccentric mother-in-law!" If you knew this, even if you tried to offend the six princes, you would have to find another good family! ”
Zhang was shocked: "Mother, there is such a thing"
Mrs. Zhang regretted her words and had to tell her daughter one by one: "I deliberately begged you to go in that mansion before, but your father thought that the family style in that mansion was not very good, and only said that even if my uncle was raised by the old lady, I couldn't agree, who would have thought that within a few days, the sixth princess would find me and talk about your family affairs, how could my father and I let you be the lowly concubine?" As a last resort, I agreed to my uncle's old lady's request to marry. ”
Zhang bit his lip, and his voice trembled: "So, won't such a daughter affect her father and mother?" ”
Mrs. Zhang was very calm: "The wood is already in the boat, can the six princes still be embarrassed?" In the final analysis, it's just for ・・・・・・" pointed his finger to the sky, and said: "Good boy, you don't have to worry too much, it's a bad thing if you go to the Six Princes' Mansion!" You just have to live with peace of mind, even if the sky falls, your father will still support you! It's just that your mother-in-law has to find a way. ”
Zhang couldn't help but say good things for Jia Yu: "Although the wife is not easy to get along with, the old lady is excellent, the husband respects the old lady the most, and treats his daughter ・・・・・・ is also very good・・・・・・
Mrs. Zhang disagreed: "You are still young and have never seen the world, it is good that this inner house is quiet and quiet, and when you meet those unreasonable people, it is really unreasonable." Uncle is good to you, but who can guarantee that he will be good to you for the rest of his life? His old lady is a sensible person, but she is old enough to protect you for a few years. "The most important thing is, who knows what will happen to the old lady when she goes.
However, seeing her daughter's sad face, Mrs. Zhang was reluctant to continue, and instead comforted her daughter: "It's too early to say this, let's see in the future." The Jia family begged you to go, if his family dared to treat you badly, your father would not agree. He pulled his daughter and talked affectionately, only hating that time passed too quickly.
When it was dusk, someone came to report: "Uncle has come to pick up my aunt and grandmother." No matter how reluctant Mrs. Zhang was, she could only put on a cloak for her daughter with her own hands, and personally sent it to the second door to watch her daughter get on the sedan chair. As soon as Zhang's sedan chair came out, Mrs. Zhang's tears fell.
The mother of the son is worried, but the daughter who married out spilled the water, and the daughter who she worked so hard to raise is already the daughter-in-law of someone else's family, and she can no longer be by her side often・・・・・・
