Chapter 41: Yujin Gets Married
By the end of March, the weather had gradually warmed up. In this season when everything is reviving and the grass grows and the warbler flies. Yujin also ushered in the day of marriage.
Yujin is a good day on the sixth day of the fourth month. On the fifth day of the fourth lunar month, the clansmen of the Su family gathered in the front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After the elders added a dowry to the jade brocade, it was the people of the same generation who gave each other the makeup.
The girls went from big to small, and Wen Jin gave a pair of lily screens and ruby heads; Yunjin sent a pair of sons, Guanyin and Baizi blessings, double-sided embroidery and inlaid with precious stones, gold hairpins and jade steps; Ning Jin gave a pair of jade bracelets with pigeon blood; Nuan Jin sent a pair of lily Ruyi golden hairpins.
Gifts are meant to be a gesture of heart, as long as nothing goes wrong.
The elders were talking in the antechamber. The girls followed Yujin to the Warm Jade Pavilion. This warm jade pavilion is the boudoir of Yujin, and it is already a great blessing to be able to come back and live for a few days when Yujin gets married tomorrow.
Because of Yujin's reluctance, he didn't have any trouble with his sisters on this day.
Yujin took out a box from the inner room. The delicate box carved from rosewood is also inlaid with some precious stones. Just by looking at the box, you know that the contents are extraordinary.
Sure enough, after Yujin opened the box, the girls almost shook their eyes.
Inside, there are six egg-sized night pearls. Each one is exquisitely clear and exudes an alluring luster, and you can see it at first glance.
Yujin was surprisingly generous, "This was originally sent by the prince, and it's useless for me to keep so much, so please take one of the sisters to play!" ”
"Qingguo, go and bring the purse I embroidered with your own hands." Yujin commanded.
Qingguo responded, and after a while, he brought a tray, on which were placed four purses embroidered with phoenix peonies.
The purses are all crimson in one color, but the lower right corner is embroidered with different words. They are the four characters of Wen, Yun, Ning, and Nuan.
Yujin picked up the purse with his own hands and put the night pearls into it one by one. "This time I got married, and there will be fewer days to come back in the future. The opportunity to talk and chat with the sisters is also rare. This purse, just keep it as a thought! ”
Yujin's actions made the hearts of several girls moved. No matter what grievances you had in the past, you have to leave them behind now.
Wen Jin nodded secretly in his heart, Yu Jin is not a person who has lost his conscience. I can still give some advice.
The sisters didn't know what they were talking about. Just laughing, it's already lunchtime.
The old lady sent Qiushuang to deliver the message and let the girls go to the front hall for dinner. "Girls, come quickly! The old lady said that there was a happy event to announce? ”
"What's the happy event?" Ning Jin asked curiously.
But Qiu Shuang shook her head with a smile, "The old lady didn't say anything about the happy event. ”
"Alright, let's get over there! Don't keep the elders waiting. Wen Jin said busily.
In the antechamber, after everyone was seated, lunch began. The rules of the Su family, on such an occasion, the concubine room is not allowed to enter the table, but Aunt Song is Yujin's biological mother, so she made an exception to the table.
This is also what Xiang Ye said. It can be seen that Xiang Ye still loves Yujin.
After lunch, the happy event announced by the old lady was that she had found a family affair for Su Wenmo. Both families agreed, and now they only wait for Yujin to get married, and then send someone to propose marriage.
As they spoke, everyone knew that the girl was the eldest daughter of a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. If this family affair can be completed, it will also be able to help Su Wenmo's career.
Everyone was happy, only Su Wenmo didn't have a smile on his face.
Wen Jin saw it in his eyes and was already planning to ask a few words. Before the second and third rooms left, Wen Jin happened to see Su Wenmo standing alone by the lake, so he walked over.
"Grandmother has set a family affair for the eldest brother, why is the eldest brother not happy. Doesn't the eldest brother like the eldest daughter of the scholar of the Hanlin Academy? Wen Jin's face was inquiring.
Go Wenmo sighed slightly, "The eldest daughter of the scholar family of the Hanlin Academy is famous, so it is naturally a good family business, but I have never met that girl, so why do you like it?" ”
"I've never seen it before, and it doesn't mean that he won't like it when we see each other in the future! Why is Big Brother so worried? Could it be that the eldest brother already has a favorite woman? Wen Jin had a look of suspicion on his face.
Su Wenmo's face was calm, "For so many years, I have been studying poetry and books, where do I have the time to think about those." I just don't think such an arranged marriage seems to be what I want. ”
But my grandmother, my father, and my mother thought it was wonderful. Because such a father-in-law will help me in my career. But how did they know my heart? ”
"I have been reading poetry and books for so many years, and I want to rise to the top with my own ability. I don't want to rely on others. ”
"What's more, if this family business can be successful, I will also be stained with the light of Sister Yujin."
Now I finally know what my grandmother said, "One wins, one loses." "What do you mean? If it weren't for Yujin's sister becoming the prince's concubine, I'm afraid this family affair would not have been possible. ”
Wen Jin heard Su Wenmo say so much, and his heart was a little clearer. It's nothing more than an aspiring teenager who doesn't want to rely on marrying a wife to gain fame.
Wen Jin smiled with relief, "Big brother is really thinking too much. Even if the eldest brother has a father-in-law like a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, if the eldest brother does not have real talent and learning, he is afraid that he will not be promoted, so how can he talk about borrowing strength? ”
"Moreover, the eldest daughter of the scholar of the Hanlin Academy is extremely favored. Even if there is a relationship with Yujin's sister, if the eldest brother is not a capable person, then how can a scholar marry his beloved daughter to the eldest brother? ”
"People who read books will inevitably have a higher temperament. It's just that above this court, the last thing you need is to be too high. If the eldest brother wants to have a smooth career in the future and can rise to the top, then he should change his problem from now on. Wen Jin's words were sharp, but Wen Mo was puzzled.
"My sister's words are bad, people who read, talent is still secondary, and morality is the first thing. If there is no one above the court, then how can politics be clear? Wen Mo said, with a faint anger.
Wen Jin knew that it didn't make sense this time, so he had to speak tactfully, "What the eldest brother said is that everyone has their own way of living, and the younger sister really shouldn't impose what she wants on her brother." ”
"This family business is excellent in the eyes of my sister, and the elders are happy in their hearts. If the eldest brother is not overly disgusted, it is better to go down. ”
"Now this family business, there is still room for change for the eldest brother. Just like Lin Qingxuan's cousin, the emperor gave the marriage decree, isn't he going to be happy and happy with the princess? ”
My sister asked my brother again. This is as a colt, for the official career. What are the benefits? What are the drawbacks? ”
Su Wenmo was asked by Wen Jin for a while, and he was speechless.
Wen Jin then asked, "Who is more powerful than the eldest cousin's talent?" ”
Su Wenmo had a look of modest admiration on his face, "Naturally, Cousin Lin is better." ”
Wen Jin smiled, "Big brother is a person who understands. If you think about it, you will know the benefits of this family business. Since it is a good family business in the eyes of others, it will naturally not be bad. The eldest brother should also respond with sincerity and joy. ”
Su Wenmo's face was contemplative, but Wen Jin had already gone away.
In fact, Wen Jin couldn't think about it in his heart. Why does a major event like marriage have to be established in the proper eyes of others? Must it be good for everyone?
Isn't it supposed to be a joy for both of them?
Although she was entangled in her own heart, she also didn't want to see Su Wenmo depressed in her heart. So he said this.
Just like Lin Qingxuan's cousin, he was also depressed in his heart, but he didn't show it like Su Wenmo's eldest brother.
On the sixth day of the fourth lunar month, the girl of the Su family went to send the jade brocade early. Yujin sat in front of the dresser in a wedding dress and let the Wufu woman comb her hair.
Gao stood aside, smiling all over his face. Aunt Song was also guarding on the side, but her face was full of reluctance and sadness.
Wen Jin knows that this is the difference between a mother and a biological mother.
No matter how bad Aunt Song is, she is also Yujin's biological mother. As a mother, there is no reason not to love your children.
The side concubine couldn't wear a red wedding dress, and the color was slightly darker, which made Wen Jin feel a little uncomfortable.
The emperor personally gave the marriage, and the side concubine was also married by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself. The team of blowing and blowing was from far to near, and a red turban covered Yujin's reluctant gaze.
The bride carefully helped the jade brocade onto the wedding sedan chair, and the welcoming team left with a blow. Ten miles of red makeup, it's just such a scene.
At the beginning, the dowry of the crown prince and concubine was one hundred and eight, and the dowry of Yujin was also eighty-one. The prime minister's house treats the jade brocade well, and the dowry is also a real treasure.
Yujin seems to have infinite scenery, but only Yujin knows the cold and warmth.
On the day he returned to the door on the third day, Yujin came back by himself. Because the crown princess was suddenly diagnosed with a two-month pregnancy, His Royal Highness the crown prince deliberately stayed in the palace to accompany the crown princess.
When Yujin came back, although there was no joy on his face, he was not very aggrieved. It's just that when he was talking to the old lady in Chunrongtang, he couldn't help crying anymore.
The old lady hugged the jade brocade and wept, and the two girls also wiped their handkerchiefs. Gao looked at it coldly and sighed. And Aunt Song secretly burst into tears.
Yujin cried for a long time, and then calmed down her emotions. The old lady ordered Qiu Ju to fetch warm water and wash Yujin's face.
"Sister Yu, you're going back to the house after lunch. Now that the crown princess is pregnant, even if you feel uncomfortable, you must be happy on your face. Otherwise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will see you. I won't like it in my heart. The old lady taught her step by step.
Although the jade brocade responded, there was an unwilling look on his face.
After lunch, Yujin returned to the Warm Jade Pavilion. Aunt Song sat for half an hour, and Wen Jin also passed.
When Aunt Song saw this, she got up and said goodbye. Wen Jin then spoke.
Yujin was reluctant to see Wen Jin, as if he had suffered a loss in the Prince's Mansion and didn't want to lose face in front of Wen Jin.
Wen Jin smiled and comforted softly, "Since my sister has come home, why bother to hide her look?" Shouldn't you relax? ”
Yujin's expression did not move, and Wen Jin was not in a hurry, so he only said to himself.
"Even if you and I were unhappy before, but we are also sisters, my sister is unhappy, and I should talk to my sister. Otherwise, my sister wouldn't have come over. ”
Wen Jin's face was sincere, and Yu Jin was also a little moved, and only gritted his teeth and said, "The crown princess is too powerful, she didn't come early, she didn't come late, but she was pregnant on the day I returned home." Even if I was angry in my heart, I was helpless! ”
