Chapter 270: Concubine, but... (5k)
Push the cup and change the cup, and the cup is staggered.
After a few months, the front yard of the county mansion was lively again.
The last time was a few months ago, at the full moon banquet of the eldest lady of the county mansion.
Although it is a concubine, the ceremony is dispensable, but there are also some exquisiteness and rituals.
There are several conditions for taking a concubine.
One is to ask for parental consent.
As a father, Jia Yu only accepted a concubine last month, what face does he have to stop his eldest son from taking a concubine?
The second is to ask the eldest wife to agree.
At present, he has a boy and a girl with Jia Hui, and Li Kun, who has both children and daughters, said that it doesn't matter, there are already seven in the family, and it doesn't hurt to add another one.
Besides, Li Kun didn't think that Jia Hui would snub him because of the new concubine, and even felt that there would definitely be some unpleasantness between the two of them.
Over the years, Li Kun has seen all kinds of people, and she thinks that she has some enthusiasm for her ability to know people. She had already seen that two people who were domineering in their bones would never compromise until they completely defeated each other.
As for what spoils the concubine and destroys the wife.
Oh, dreaming, don't look at Jia Hui's usual mistakes, but those are harmless things, in fact, he knows better than anyone else that he will not do anything that can threaten his "morality".
Third, it is necessary to perform the ceremony - to hold a ceremony that can barely be called a "wedding".
Wedding SE.
Specifically, a small amount of property is sent to the concubine's family first, that is, "the capital of the concubine". Then, a sedan chair in green clothes with a concubine enters the house through the side door or corner door, not worshipping heaven and earth and parents, but only kowtowing to his wife's room and offering tea.
This varies from person to person, for the concubine room to enter the door, there are no written rules in these years, if you want to be lively, you can be lively, any relatives and friends can be invited, as long as you don't cross the scale when you marry the main room.
As for those who don't want to, they don't even need to hold a ceremony, and it doesn't hurt to directly carry a small sedan chair in from the side door, corner door or even the back door.
This time it was a little more lively, after all, Jia Hui has such a big family business, and if the concubine doesn't even hold a banquet, she will be ridiculed for being stingy and not paying attention to it.
After all, when the bandits rob the eighteenth concubine and go up the mountain, they will have a big feast.
Worshipping heaven and earth with parents is something that only married couples are qualified to do.
The belongings had been delivered to the small courtyard in the northeast corner of Rongguo Mansion a few days ago, so only a small sedan chair in Tsing Yi was sent to carry Xue Baochai to Rongguo Mansion.
I don't know how long it took, the noise coming from outside the wing room finally woke up Xue Baochai, who was silenced by Yingchun's words.
"Girl, the sedan chair has stopped in the yard." Xue Baochai's personal maid Ying'er rushed in from outside the house with a happy face, but when she felt the low mood of her own girl, the joy on her face suddenly dissipated a lot, and she couldn't help but feel some regret in her heart.
As Xue Baochai's personal maid, she can be regarded as growing up with her own girl, how can she not understand her own girl's mind?
It's just a girl, there's no going back!
The number of fates is like this, instead of making everyone unhappy like this, why not accept fate?
But after all, she is a master and servant, and Ying'er still knows her identity, so she didn't say these words.
"Girl?"
"Yes, yes, the sedan chair is here." Xue Baochai muttered blankly, slowly stood up, and looked at the small sedan chair covered with cyan brocade through Ying'er's body.
Although it is actually larger than the small sedan chair he takes when he travels on weekdays, Xue Baochai feels that this sedan chair is narrow and occluded.
"Aunt Xue is here!" The big girl magpie who was responsible for entering the hospital to lead Xue Baochai to the sedan chair also greeted Xue Baochai with a happy face.
Thanks to Aunt Xue entering the door, the master was happy, but he rewarded everyone with half a year's salary!
Unlike the elder brother Tang Seventeen and the eldest sister Huang Li, who had been married four years ago, the magpies are already twenty-one, and they have not been able to marry until now, and they are still on an errand in the county mansion.
It's not that the magpie doesn't want to marry, but she can't find it, her father and brother are so worried
Although the magpie's face is not inferior to those big girls and "deputy misses" in Rongguo Mansion, that mouth is really .
The young and promising soldiers, servants, and stewards in the family felt that the magpie might one day be hacked to death because of her mouth, and they were worried that they would be implicated even themselves.
However, the magpie seems to have had more contact with Nusreti during this time. Maybe it can be done.
Aunt?
Xue Baochai glanced at the magpie expressionlessly, did not respond, just went down the steps lightly, and walked around the magpie by himself
The magpie with a happy face froze in place, and for a while she didn't realize why Aunt Xue, who could speak well on weekdays, would throw her face on this happy day.
How? Isn't it unwilling to enter the door of our county mansion?
The magpie turned his head to look at Xue Baochai's fading back and raised his eyebrows.
Hey, how many times have I told you earlier, I don't want to forget it, I don't want to forget it, I don't want to find you a good one in the army when the time comes, what did you say at the time? "Obey the marriage contract"?
Why, now I don't want to feel unhappy and wronged as an aunt? Why did you go early!
The magpie pursed his lips disdainfully, wanting to have a yin and yang weird meal, but he thought that if he gave Xue Baochai an excuse not to enter the door because of his yin and yang weirdness, it would be really thankless, so he would give up.
That's it, let's fight again after you enter the door!
The magpie snorted coldly and followed.
Although the magpie is a maid, when it comes to identity and family background, the Xue family is inferior.
Without him, although Tang Magpie's own brother Tang Seventeen is a pro-soldier, he also has a meritorious position!
From the beginning of the five products, he was awarded the general of Wu Liu.
This is earned by him slashing a thousand households in the Chahar Department plus the merits accumulated before, she Tang Magpie is also a lady of the official family in the strict sense, and she is the hardcore henchman of Jia Hui's hardcore henchmen, which is much higher than Xue Baochai's status as a businesswoman!
If it weren't for her brother's social circle being too small to find a husband, and in order to learn the rules in the house, she wouldn't have been able to be a maid in the house!
。。。。。。
The forecourt of the county office.
Sitting at the front are naturally the elders of the Jia family.
There is no one who can come to the county mansion to drink Jia Hui's concubine's wedding wine that is not iron-clad, and it is highly overlapping with the group of people who went to Shuiche Garden before.
The ladies followed the old lady to eat in the main hall of Yingtai Hall, and the old lady sat at the top as usual, followed by the Xing family and the Wang family, and then the Xue Wang family and the juniors of the other families.
The courtyard outside the Yingtai Hall is the men's territory.
Almost all the men of the Jia family came, and hundreds of people all sat down to drink and brag and eat a big feast, so happy.
The best thing is to sit at the three tables closest to the main hall.
At the middle table, Jia Yu, the elder, sat at the top of the table, and it was rare to be the second senior. Jia Hui's brothers sat under Jia Yu's hands, and Jia Yu, who was called "uncle" and "uncle", laughed and was in a good mood!
The table on the left is the elders of the Jia family, with Jia Dairu, the oldest in the family, sitting at the head, Jia Zhen sitting on one side to accompany them, and the other are the elders of the Jia family such as Jia Daixiu.
Another table is Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong and Jia Huan, the juniors of the Jia family.
Xue Pan is also at this table, after all, today is a big happy event for his sister-in-law, so Xue Pan was finally released from the barracks by Jia Hui.
This time has exhausted him.
Since he was thrown into the barracks by Jia Hui half fooled and half coerced, he hasn't slept for a day!
Before dawn, he was dragged out of the bed by Mrs. Jiao of Dongfu, and if he didn't come out and pick up the stick, it would be a good fight!
After all, he is a member of the Xue family and a guest, and it is not easy for Mrs. Jiao to let him enjoy the whip like the children of the Jia family.
Hurriedly put on your pants and start running laps, or run ten laps around the school field!
Ten laps is enough, the key is that there is still a time limit, just half an hour, and you are not allowed to eat breakfast if you can't finish the run.
When he first went, Xue Pan still scoffed at this, an old slave still dared to beat his Xue family's brother? Do you dare not give him food?
So when he ran in circles, Xue Pan didn't take Mrs. Jiao seriously, but just pretended to run a few steps and began to walk on foot, completely ignoring the sympathetic eyes of the children of the Jia family who were trained with him
In this regard, Jiao Da didn't say anything, just smiled and watched Xue Pan walking on the school field like a bird, but that smile looked dangerous.
Half an hour passed, and seeing that everyone was running to eat, Xue Pan was also about to go with the crowd to eat, but what he didn't expect was that he was stopped by Jiao Da.
"Old dog, give you Xue Da vomit-"
Before the word "master" was spoken, the big fist of the big casserole instantly hit Xue Pan's lower abdomen, and Xue Pan's legs were off the ground for a breath, and then he fell heavily to the ground, his brain became blank, and he began to vomit sour water while holding his stomach, and the bile was about to spit out.
Jiao Da still looked smiling, but that look made Xue Pan feel creepy.
"What is your name Lao Tzu?"
"Jiao, old lady Jiao."
Xue Pan has been honest since then, for fear that Jiao Da will give him another punch.
Jiao Da was very satisfied with Xue Pan's acquaintance, and after all, he was a guest, so he didn't continue to beat him.
Xue Pan lived in the barracks so honestly.
In more than a month, Xue Pan's mental outlook has indeed changed a lot.
There is no longer a big head called "Xue Tou", and even the chin has been trained, and the body that originally looked strong but was actually full of fat has also been a lot more lean, and the belly is obviously much smaller.
In addition, the loose energy on his body was also scattered by Jiao Da's punch, and the former Hun people began to make people think that this was a talent.
"Yo, Brother Xue has been reborn?" Jia Lian, who was sitting next to Xue Pan, laughed with a wine glass.
"Hey, don't mention it!" Xue Pan sighed and waved his hand at Jia Lian, "That Jiao Da from your Eastern Mansion almost didn't kill Lao Tzu."
Hearing this, Jia Cong also came over: "Huh? So, Brother Xue was also cleaned up by Mrs. Jiao? ”
"Also? Brother Cong, you were also beaten by Jiao Da? Xue Pan's eyes when he looked at Jia Cong instantly became a lot closer.
"This is said as if our generation in the family has not been cleaned up by Mrs. Jiao." Jia Lian also sighed, recalling the days when he was killed and brought back to life by Jiao Dalian
As the first batch of juniors trained by Jiao Da, it was a lot of hardships.
At that time, Jiao Da trained these young men according to the training amount of regular soldiers, and the attack was not light or heavy, but he injured many children.
After continuous adjustments, a set of training plans suitable for the physique of the Jia family boys was finally formed
"Huh? Wouldn't it, the Metropolitan Governor was also reprimanded by Jiao? Xue Pan looked at Jia Lian with wide eyes.
Jia Lian nodded: "No, I heard from the eldest brother that before he left home to go to the northwest, he learned the battlefield life-saving skills with Mrs. Jiao for half a month!" ”
"Yes, yes, in our Great Qi army, not everyone can carry a seriously wounded person on their backs, climb ice and snow for more than a month, and work all the way from Beihai to Yanmen Pass." Jia Cong leaned over and interjected.
Although Jia Cong was also cleaned up by Jiao Da, his legs were weak and trembling when he saw him, but Jia Cong was still very sure and respected Jiao Da's ability.
"Tsk, that's to learn from Master Jiao." Xue Pan fanned the short beard that grew on his chin and muttered quietly.
According to the posture of the Grand Governor, maybe not in the future, he will definitely take himself to the battlefield.
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the martial arts are strong or not, the key is that the ability to save your life must be learned well!
The three of them wanted to continue chatting, but they heard a sound of gongs and drums outside the door, and the three of them immediately put down their wine glasses.
"Here, here comes the bride!" A shout from outside the door of Neiyi instantly attracted the attention of the big guys, and they all looked towards the door.
Jia Hui, who was sitting at the brother's table and chatting with them, also took a sip of tea and looked at the inner door
A small sedan chair in Tsing Yi was carried to the courtyard in front of the Yingtai Hall, and as soon as the curtain was beaten, a woman wearing a pink hijab and a pink wedding dress came out of the sedan chair, holding the maid's hand, and slowly walked towards the Yingtai Hall.
。。。。。。
After paying respects to the elders in turn, and giving tea to the eldest woman Li Kun, who knelt on the ground in a proper manner, Li Kun took a sip and admonished a few words, and Xue Baochai was sent to the courtyard left for her in the backyard of the county mansion.
The banquet lasted until late, until most of the people couldn't drink anymore, and then they helped each other out of the county mansion
Once again, calm was restored to the county government.
After all, today is a day of great joy, under Li Kun's deliberate care, except for Xue Baochai's yard, all of their yards were locked early, like a thief to prevent the dizzy old man from coming in.
Mandarin duck also thoughtfully made some signs out of cardboard, and inserted them on the way to the backyard to help the master go to Xue Baochai's yard.
Tsukuen Garden.
In fact, the courtyard does not have a name, but Xue Baochai's new name after entering the courtyard, and everyone else doesn't know it except her.
In the main room of the courtyard, Xue Baochai, who was covered with a hijab, sat quietly on the bed, waiting for someone to come.
She's been waiting for almost an hour.
There was nothing in his stomach, he was hungry and thirsty, and he only had a little bit of dried fruit on the table to satisfy his stomach, but he was worried that his makeup would be ruined after eating, so Xue Baochai just drank some water and stopped moving.
There was a noise outside the door, which woke up Xue Baochai, who was already a little sleepy, and heard one of the familiar male voices, Xue Baochai instantly became nervous.
"Stand down!"
The drunken voice could be heard obviously, and the maids and women outside the house hurriedly agreed, and as the sparse footsteps gradually disappeared, Xue Baochai knew that only himself and the maid Ying'er were left in this courtyard.
Squeak
The sound of heavy footsteps was getting closer and closer, and soon, a burly but somewhat swaying figure appeared in front of Xue Baochai.
"Hiccup!" Jia Hui burped, took a stool from the table and placed it in front of Xue Baochai, and sat down slowly.
"Xue Baochai," Jia Hui muttered, "Lift the hijab." ”
Anyway, it's not that I haven't seen it, and I don't need to lift the hijab like gambling like ordinary people's blind marriages and dumb marriages.
After drinking a stomach full of wine, he really didn't want to move now.
Lift the hijab yourself?
Xue Baochai's already calm mind instantly became sad again, and he didn't even want to lift the hijab with his own hands!
The sadness in my heart, coupled with the hunger in my belly and the impatience caused by the long wait, instantly turned into anger, but I didn't hear it.
"Huh? Didn't hear what I was saying? Hijab, lifted. Jia Hui saw that Xue Baochai didn't make the slightest move, so he reminded him again.
Xue Baochai was still unmoved.
"Tsk." Jia Hui pursed her lips and tilted her head to look directly at the beautiful figure sitting on the bed, as if she could see her face through the hijab.
What's wrong?
With both hands on his knees, Jia Hui staggered to his feet, stretched out his hand and pulled off the hijab and threw it to the side, a small round face with tears in the corners of his eyes and red eyes stubbornly looked at himself appeared in front of Jia Hui's eyes.
"Cut, what kind of expression, it looks like Lao Tzu is robbing the people's daughter!" Jia Hui was a little annoyed by this expression, "What, what?" Are you not convinced? Do you feel wronged by marrying me? ”
Jia Hui bent down and brought his face full of wine to Xue Baochai's face, and the rich smell of wine instantly made Xue Baochai frown, and subconsciously shrank back, but he still bit his lip and didn't speak.
"Dumb? Speak! Jia Hui's patience gradually disappeared, and he looked at Xue Baochai's expression as if he had been robbed up the mountain by bandits, "What?" It's you yourself who want to enter Lao Tzu's house, how many times have you said before that you don't want to forget it, I'll find you a good match in the army or even in the court, how did you tell me, you say it again, I'll listen? ”
Hearing this, Xue Baochai bit his lips tighter, and tears were about to fall, but he didn't say a word.
It's as if it was Jia Hui who did something wrong.
Seeing this, Jia Hui gradually lost his patience and interest in Xue Baochai.
"Tsk, whatever you want, what's your love." Jia Hui pursed his lips, turned around, picked up the spout of the teapot and poured a stomach of water into his mouth, and then left Xue Baochai's small courtyard without looking back.
Walking in the middle of the backyard, the nameless fire in Jia Hui's heart became more and more vigorous, but he had no choice but to knock on the doors of several of his concubines in a row and got no response, knowing that they were kind, so there was no reason to be angry with them, so he had to go back to the study and deal with it casually for a night.
Well?
Walking on the sandwich road, a hurried figure holding something attracted Jia Hui's attention, and the gourd-like figure was too seductive.
"Alas, the one ahead, stop!"
The old man's voice came, instantly causing the figure in front of him to freeze in place, and even tremble
Jia Hui slowly walked behind the maid and slapped the maid's buttocks, so frightened that the futon that the girl was holding fell to the ground.
"Turn your head and let me see!" Without waiting for the girl to reply, Jia Hui stretched out her hand to cover the girl's shoulder, and with a turn of her hands, a charming but delicate girl appeared in front of her, and carefully knocked on the light of the lantern played by the yellow oriole beside her, and Jia Hui was also pleasantly surprised to find that the girl had a little rouge mole between her eyebrows
"Let's go, it's you today, follow me into the house!"
