The first month of the fourth year of Jingren.

The goose feathers were covered with snow, and the gray sky was even more gloomy. Jiang Jiu, who was wearing plain clothes, stood under the porch for a long time, his eyes were red, and his hands and feet were numb, but he still didn't want to go back to the house.

Mama Luo, who had been standing with her for a long time in the cold wind, persuaded again, "Girl, go back to the house and warm up." If the eighth master comes back, the girl will come to report. ”

Jiang Jiu was also really cold, and just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house, he saw the girl candied fruit running over, "Second girl, the eighth master is back." ”

Jiang Jiu listened, hurriedly stepped down the stairs, and walked briskly towards Zhuxuan.

From Chenxuan to Zhuxuan, you have to pass through the main courtyard. Quietly in the main courtyard, Lu Man led a few children to He Mansion, Liu Xirui's second son He Rong is full moon today.

The flag grew up and died the day before yesterday, and the people in Donghui Courtyard were extremely sad, including Lao Ma and Jiang Yue. Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Jiu didn't have the heart to drink the full moon wine, but Lu Man's mother and son couldn't help but go.

This morning, Jiang Zhankui took the bones of the flag chief to the northwest slope village of Shaping County on the outskirts of Beijing, and buried it in the back mountain there, and the third brother picked it up from there. Also going with pea yellow, soybean bean, bean yuanyuan, crisp candy, Dou Yuanyuan is the son of Huang Doudou, the grandson of Pea Huang.

Originally, Jiang Jiu also wanted to go, but Lu Man and Jiang Zhankui disagreed. It's too cold, and it's hard to walk on the road.

Jiang Jiu came to Zhuxuan, there were three beans and a dog squatting in the hall, and Jiang Zhankui was still holding a puppy in his arms. The puppy is earthy yellow, looks a little like a flag chief, and is very cute.

Jiang Zhankui raised the puppy in his hand and said with a smile, "This is given to us by Brother Zheng, and it is the nephew and grandson of the flag chief." I named it Mr. Put. In fact, he wanted to call him a general, for fear that others would say that he was suspected of insulting the general, so he still gave him the name of a low-ranking officer.

Jiang Jiu took over the total, and the total was larger than Sandou's body, as if he had just been weaned. It liked Xiangxiang's little hands, stretched out its tongue and licked it, it was more comfortable after being smoothed, squinted its eyes again, and screamed a few times.

Jiang Jiu's mood seemed to be much better, and said, "If you look like a flag commander, you will definitely be as majestic as a flag commander in the future." ”

Jiang Zhankui nodded, and said, "Brother Zheng and I buried the flag chief next to a pine tree in the mountain, and made a mark. There is good feng shui and good scenery, so I will take my sister there in the spring, and then plant some flowers on the edge of the small grave, and ...... later."

He didn't have the rest to say. He looked at the pea yellow squatting there and meditating, it was already a little old, and he didn't want to go out into the wild again, and his favorite thing to do was to nest on the third sister-in-law's body. Because I was going to bury the flag chief today, I went out with him. Later, when the animals died, they were buried there.

As the two were talking, they heard a lively outside, and it was Lu Man's family and the old colt who came back.

When the old children heard that there was a new member in the house, they all rushed in. The first is the old horse, followed by Brother Jun and Brother Yan'er, followed by Yue'er leading Xue'er, who is about to cry, and Lu Man walks at the end.

Seeing the puppy, Lu Man suddenly realized that it was really exactly the same as the original little flag chief.

After dinner, the old children went to Zhuxuan to see the boss again, and Lu Man, who was holding pea yellow, called Jiang Jiu and Jiang Zhankui to the upper room, the dowry was basically ready, and the list was also sorted out.

Jiang Jiu got married on May 20. Xia Qiguang had already been admitted to the Juren three years ago, and for the sake of insurance, he did not participate in the spring of the second year, and was ready to take the exam again next year.

Jiang Jiu took over the thick dowry list, which included the dowry prepared for her when the family was separated, including the income over the years, more than 30,000 taels of silver. The brother and sister-in-law also gave another more than 40,000 taels, adding up to a total of 80,000 taels of silver.

She said gratefully, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

As a few people were talking, there was a sudden sound of running and shouting in the yard, "Third grandma, third grandma, it's not good......"

Lu Man and a few people got up and went out and asked, "What's so urgent?" ”

The mother-in-law said, "The emperor has died, and the eldest princess has fainted. ”

Several people were taken aback.

Lu Man stuffed the pea yellow into Jiang Jiu's arms and said, "I'll go to Heming Hall now, and you can let people rearrange the house and change into plain clothes." Pacify the old horse and let him live in Zhuxuan......"

Lu Man said as he walked towards the east gate, Cherry chased after him with a cloak, and Lu Aya and the others rushed to the front with a medical kit.

In recent years, the Emperor Taishang's health has been poor, and he may die at any time.

Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Jiu glanced at each other, knowing that Jiang Zhankui's preparation for the examination this autumn would not be successful, and the autumn season would definitely be postponed. Jiang Jiu's wedding date is in May, and it can still be held as scheduled.

Five days later, another news came that shocked the government and the opposition, and the multinational coalition with Da Chu as the leader of the alliance won a complete victory, occupied Yu Sun State, and beheaded the king of Yu Sun State, his son and brother. If the aftermath goes well, we will be able to move back to the DPRK this autumn......

After hearing the good news, the eldest princess of Changting, who was already dying, actually came back to life. Originally, the house was ready for a funeral, and Jiang Jiu's wedding date had to be postponed, which is really ice and fire. Of course, happiness can only be happy in the heart, and dare not show it.

Although the eldest princess did not die, her body had collapsed and she was lying in bed most of the time.

Lu Man has been serving the eldest princess in Heming Hall, and rarely returns to Donghui Temple. Jiang Zhankui went to Guozijian, and Donghui Courtyard was Jiang Jiu in charge of his nephews and nieces, as well as old children and old horses.

The weather is getting hotter, and the grass grows and the warbler flies. People are gradually returning to their old lives, the eldest princess's health is much better, and Jiang Jiu's wedding date is quietly approaching.

On the sixth day of the fifth month, the Xia family sent a dowry gift. Although the Xia family is noble, it is not as rich as the noble family. The dowry was about more than 10,000 taels of silver, and Lu Man added everything he could take away to Jiang Jiu's dowry.

On May 18, from morning to night, the quiet morning hall was noisy. Those who add makeup and visit Jiang Jiu are endless. Even the second old man and his wife, who had never deigned to come to Chenxuan, came together.

The second master said a bunch of words on how to honor the elders and serve a good husband, and gave her a silver ticket of two thousand taels of silver. The second lady barely said anything, she knew that her mother's words would be spoken by Lu Man.

When Chenxuan was completely quiet, it was already the beginning of the hour, and Lu Man came.

"Sister-in-law."

Jiang Jiu got up, walked over and grabbed Lu Man's hand and shook it, like he was coquettish with his sister-in-law when he was a child.

Looking at Jiang Jiu's red eyes, Lu Man's nose was sour, and she was reluctant to bring up this younger sister she had brought up since childhood. I originally wanted to say that I was homesick, so I would come back for a walk. But thinking that the Xia family is a big family, her actions in the past marriage are definitely not so free. changed his words again, "After you marry the Xia family, we will go to your house to see you instead." ”

Lu Man pulled Jiang Jiu to sit down, and told him how to live his life in the big family. Lu Man had taught Jiang Jiu these words many times before, and now he said them solemnly.

Finally, he said, "No matter what, you have done what you have to do, if you still want to be angry, don't endure it yourself, let someone take the letter home." I told Mama Luo and the girls again.

Even if Lu Man found the Xia family after looking for many people, she still didn't feel at ease.

The two sisters-in-law said that at the end of the day, Lu Man was leaving. She motioned, and the men retreated.

The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and Lu Man is going to carry out "sex education" for the little girl.

She handed over a pre-marital book that was popular in this era to Jiang Jiu, and said, "Take a good look at it at night, don't be afraid tomorrow, it won't hurt so much if you relax......"

As a modern soul, Lu Man seems to be able to only "educate" in this way.

Jiang Jiu's face was flushed with shame, he took the small notebook and said "um".

Looking at Lu Man's figure, Jiang Jiu's mood was extremely contradictory. She longs for a life in harmony with her husband, Jun Qinse. But I was reluctant to leave this home, my sister-in-law and brother, and my nephews and nieces. Yes, my sister-in-law was placed in front of my brother......

At the end of May 19, the hall of Chenxuan was lively, and the two old men and his wife sat on both sides of the Eight Immortals table, ready to accept the newlyweds' knees. On the side of the second lady, a special seat was set up for Lu Man to sit on. This is the order of the eldest princess.

In a burst of firecrackers and gongs and drums, the two newcomers kowtowed to the second old couple and Lu Man. The second old man stroked his beard, put on the money of Lord Taishan, and said a few words about how Jiang Jiu should honor his elders and serve his husband.

The second lady turned her head sideways and said to Lu Man, "Zhanwei's daughter-in-law will say it on my behalf." ”

Lu Man was not humble, she had already finished what she wanted to say to Jiang Jiu, so she said to Zhao Qiguang, "Brother-in-law, my sister-in-law is kind and gentle, and she is the best girl in the world. After today, we will hand her over to you, hoping that you can treat her well, love her, and make her happy for the rest of her life. ”

Halfway through speaking, Lu Man's voice choked up, but she still insisted on finishing speaking.

Xia Qiguang kowtowed again and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will be good to her, make her happy, and live her life." ”

Jiang Jiu under the hijab cried.

A couple of newcomers got up, Jiang Zhankui came over and picked up Jiang Jiu, and walked outside with Xia Qiguang.

The sound of gongs and drums faded away until they disappeared.

Lu Man was stunned. Jiang Jiu is married, and after two years, Jiang Zhankui will get married and go out.

These two children were raised by her, and they also shared her weal and woe, and she was reluctant.
