Chapter 263 Concubine [Part 2](1/2)
Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye it is already September 27th.
The Xing family has been bustling since before dawn. At noon, there were more than twenty tables for the banquet alone. However, the guests were mostly neighbors and servants of Ning Rong's second house. Almost no serious master had ever
Show up.
Only Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu had no scruples and came all the way to see Xing Xiuyan get married.
Seeing the auspicious time of Shen Zheng [four o'clock in the afternoon], Jia Baoyu hid in the Xing family hall and watched through the window as the eight-carriage sedan slowly left the alley. For some reason, he suddenly burst into mourning.
Seeing him crying and wiping it with his sleeve, Sister Lin hurriedly handed over the veil and wondered: "What's wrong with you? Sister Xing is getting married today, and I haven't cried yet, so you should drop it first."
There are golden beans.”
Jia Baoyu took the handkerchief and wiped his face, then rubbed the red circles under his eyes, and then choked up and said: "I was watching the sedan go out just now, and suddenly thought that my sisters would end up like this one day, and I felt depressed.
It’s like someone is using a dull knife to cut out my flesh!”
Lin Daiyu was startled when she heard this, and murmured in her mouth: "Yes, there is no such thing as a banquet in the world, and you will never escape such a day."
Before she finished speaking, Jia Baoyu grabbed her wrist and said anxiously: "Others can just pay it back, but you must not leave, it will take you a lifetime... No! You have to guard me for the rest of your life! Otherwise
I would rather die immediately than live alone!"
When Lin Daiyu heard what he said, she felt a mixture of shame and joy in her heart. She almost shed tears for a moment. She hurriedly turned her back and stamped her feet and said, "How many laws have I broken to deserve your anger for the rest of my life!"
Baoyu asked angrily: "I, why am I making you angry? You should tell me and listen!"
"snort!"
Sister Lin snorted and turned around to ask: "On Sister Xing's happy day, you insist on talking about life and death. Isn't this irritating?"
"this……"
Jia Baoyu was immediately speechless.
Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, was unreasonable: "Besides, even though you think so now, you can't help but think that you don't like me one day, and you will make a fuss about driving me away."
"you you you you!"
Jia Baoyu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He raised his finger and pointed at Lin Daiyu and said: "Are you saying this to make you angry to death? Or do you want me to cut my heart out and show it to you?!"
Lin Daiyu raised her palm-sized face and said, "I can't see your heart, but I saw it with my own eyes when you come to propose marriage every now and then."
"That's them, they...just let it go!"
Jia Baoyu said "stop" and stamped his foot hard. After three times, he said angrily: "Next time I go to the palace, I will deliberately annoy the emperor and make those who follow the trend get tired of me. It's settled, right?"
?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lin Daiyu turned around and covered Baoyu's mouth and said urgently: "Don't you know... ahem, don't you know that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger?! If Lord Long Live is really angry, I'm afraid the whole family will... ahem,
No one can live in peace!"
"Good sister, don't be anxious, don't be anxious!"
When Baoyu saw this, he immediately forgot everything. He turned around and grabbed the teapot in a hurry. The jingling bell clanged and poured out half the bowl. He poured out half the bowl, held it to Lin Daiyu and said, "Quickly, drink some water quickly and let your breath go down smoothly."
Stop coughing!"
When Sister Lin took the tea, he patted Daiyu's pink back and said, pointing to the sky: "There is no one else around now. I tell my sister honestly, as long as we can last long, the house will not be peaceful and peaceful for a while."
What does it matter?"
"Listen to your nonsense!"
Daiyu's eyes were full of tenderness, but there was still no soft word in her mouth: "You want to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and you use me as an excuse. Could it be that when the Five Elements Mountain comes down, you will drag me to the bottom?"
"How can I let my sister suffer with me?!"
Jia Baoyu immediately called out to Tianqu: "One day, I will just wait and look forward to it at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. When you do the first grade and follow the prime minister's husband to retire and return to his hometown, you can point to the foot of the mountain and say something
'That hozen turned out to be my brother', and I was satisfied."
Lin Daiyu's heart almost melted, and she spat with a red head and a swollen face: "Bah, you have so many crazy words, and you use them to fool people!"
"If I'm trying to coax you, then..."
Baoyu also swore that an attacker from outside was approaching with a curtain, and kept urging: "Little ancestor, we agreed to send Miss Xing to the sedan chair and we will go back. Why has there been no movement for a long time? Go back quickly, otherwise the master and his wife will go back."
It’s time to ask!”
The brother and sister had no choice but to stop talking and left the Xing house, surrounded by a crowd of maids and servants.
Seeing that they were about to get into the car, Daiyu suddenly raised her voice and said to Zijuan: "As long as someone is with me, I am not afraid of hardship."
After hearing this, Jia Baoyu seemed to be very happy. When he got in the car, he danced and almost fell down from the car.
…………
The words are divided into two parts.
However, they said that the pink sedan chair left the alley, first turned from the west exit into Ningrong Street, then turned from the east exit of Ningrong Street into Changning Lane, and then went west along Ningrong Back Street, almost circling most of the Ningrong Second Mansion.
circle, and then entered the back door of Rong Mansion.
This is also a common rule nowadays. If the two families are far away, it's fine. They just have to walk across the street along the way. If the two families are close together, they have to go in the opposite direction first, and then go back in a big circle.
The purpose of doing this is naturally to show off the grandeur of the dowry.
Thanks to the simplicity of taking concubines, I only detoured two or three streets. If I were to marry a wife, I'm afraid the procession would have to travel through half of the inner city first.
"The sedan chair has arrived, the sedan chair has arrived!"
Shuan Zhu had been guarding the back door for a long time. When he saw the sedan chair entering Rong Mansion and entering the gate, he hurriedly ran home shouting.
In front of Jiao's house, Jia Yun heard the call and immediately gave an order. The ground was covered in red, and the crackling sound was deafening.
As soon as the sound of firecrackers stopped, dozens of children came around to ask for money. Si Qizu threw out two dustpans of copper coins wrapped in red thread - for fear of hurting the children - and finally found a passage.
After entering the courtyard gate, there are still many red tapes waiting for you.
Fortunately, because taking a concubine is not marrying a wife, Jiao Shun is the old god who is waiting in the main hall, so he does not have to suffer along with him.
The details during this period will not be elaborated for now.
However, by the time the woman with two children finished reciting the auspicious words in a measured tone and helped Xing Xiuyan sit on the bed covered with dried fruits, the sky outside had already darkened.
Siqi, who had accompanied him through all the procedures, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He asked Xing Xiuyan if he was thirsty or hungry. After getting a negative answer, he sat down at the table and was indifferent to the covered Xing Xiuyan.
Word.
The bridal chamber was quiet for a while, and the hustle and bustle outside seemed like two different worlds.
I don’t know how much time passed.
The guests outside gradually dispersed, and without the annoying noise, Siqi suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Looking at Xing Xiuyan who was wearing a pink hijab across from me, and then looking at the red candles and words "happy" all over the room, I always felt like I was in a dream.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, she thought that she and Jiao Shun were not destined to be together in this life. Who would have thought that through some strange combination of circumstances, she would marry Miss Xing again.
After being stunned for a long time, Si Qi thought that it was probably time for Jiao Shun to come over. Si Qi felt more and more uneasy, so he got up and cut the candle flowers first, and then placed the scale beam for holding the hijab in the most conspicuous place.
Then he looked around blankly, wondering what else he could do, when he suddenly saw someone pushing the door open and walking in with a bedding in his arms. He smiled at Xing Xiuyan and said, "Auntie, a few of us pooled our money to buy this. The uncle is considerate and considerate of it.
I don’t mind that it’s too crude, so I said I’m going to use this one tonight, you see…”
"Is she the jade bracelet girl?"
Although Xing Xiuyan couldn't see clearly under the hijab, he still accurately recognized the person, nodded slightly and said, "You are thoughtful."
Yuchuan said hurriedly: "It's all as it should be. Once my aunt comes, we have a backbone - it's getting late, so I'll help my aunt lay the shop first."
While he was talking, he was about to make the bed while holding the bedding made of dragons and phoenixes.
I didn't want to be stopped by Si Qi as soon as I arrived in front of the bed. He raised his head and looked down and said condescendingly: "My sister has been working hard today. Let me do these things."
The smile on Yuchuan's face froze, and he was about to refuse. It was obvious that the chess player was very tall, and he knew that she was arrogant, so after all, he didn't have the courage to confront her head-on.
So I had to let Si Qi snatch away the bedding half-grabbingly, and shook it off. While making the bed, he ordered: "There are so many guests here in the evening. I must have eaten a lot of wine. Sister Lao."
Go to the stove and ask for a bowl of hangover soup to prepare, so as not to delay the auspicious time."
Seeing her repeatedly taking the lead, Yu Chuan seemed to hate something in his heart, but the situation was stronger than others, so in the end he could only force a smile and say to Xing Xiuyan: "If you have any request, girl, just tell me
.”
Then he turned around and left angrily.
"snort!"
After Yu Chuan left, Siqi snorted outside the door and said disdainfully: "Her sister Jin Chuan is full of tricks, and this sister is not a fuel-efficient person! The girl must be more careful in the future, don't
Let these little hooves be happy!"
After a pause, he added: "Fortunately, Na Xiangling is a kind-hearted person and is famous for being honest and honest in this house. If I am not with my aunt, just tell her what you need to do."
Xing Xiuyan was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "The rules are like this. From tomorrow on, I can't call you sister. I might as well take advantage of now to say a few words to my sister."
"Of course my sister just did it for my own good, but since we are here and no one has ever given us any sympathy, we should all be in harmony and try not to cause trouble to the uncle."
"Even if you are a big woman, and your parents-in-law are here, there is no reason to show off. Besides, I am just a concubine, and there is no reason to offend anyone when I first come here."
