The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 91

The thirteenth day of the lunar calendar is nearly a month and a half.

The moon in the sky has also turned into a bright circle.

Tonight, the moon and stars are sparse.

The moonlight was like clear waves of water, lightly pouring down from above the sky, passing through the treetops, passing through the window lattice, and falling directly in front of Jia Jing's bed.

Peace and quiet!
However, under the moonlight, people's hearts are chaotic!
Jia Jing was lying on the bed, glancing at the wedding clothes on the hanger next to her from time to time, her thoughts had already gone to nowhere!
It wasn't until this afternoon when Jia Jing returned home, reminded by eyes full of red and amber, that Jia Jing suddenly realized that the day of getting married had quietly arrived without knowing it.

Being human in two lives, whether it was the [-] years in the previous life or the ten years after becoming Jia Jing, to Jia Jing, this marriage is like a big girl getting on a sedan chair—the first time in her life!
So, until the time was approaching, Jia Jing just lay on the bed, staring at the tent above, her thoughts wandering wantonly, without sleepiness at all!
At this time, some people are also suffering from insomnia.

……

Lin House.

Daiyu was lying on the bed in the boudoir, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep!

Beside the vanity mirror, a bright red wedding dress was neatly placed there.

After a long time, the candles in the room were relit.

"Miss, what's the matter?"

Outside, seeing the lights in Daiyu's room turned on, Zijuan, who was on duty at night, immediately asked.

Hearing Zijuan's question, Daiyu replied sullenly: "It's nothing, I just feel so messed up that I can't sleep, so get up and sit down!"

"Miss, you are about to get married, and you are panicking!"

The curtain of the boudoir was lifted from the outside, and Zijuan walked in with her clothes on, smiling, "Miss, would you like me to talk to you?"

"Then sit down!"

Daiyu also put on a dress and sat up. Hearing Zijuan's words, she moved back into the bed and left a bedside for her.

Seeing this, Zicuckoo quickly brought two soft pillows over, leaned against Daiyu's back, covered Daiyu with a quilt, and then sat next to the bed.

"When I'm about to get married, I feel panicked? Why is it like this?"

When Zijuan sat down, Daiyu hurriedly asked.

Zijuan said with a smile: "I also heard from those married wives and wives that girls always feel flustered for a while before they get married!"

After thinking for a while, Zijuan continued: "Maybe it's because I changed my home, and everything around me is new and unfamiliar!"

Hearing this, Daiyu couldn't help retorting: "But I have lived in the old lady's house since I was ten years old. The environment and personnel there are already familiar to me, so how can there be anything new and strange?"

Hearing Daiyu's rebuttal, Zijuan didn't know how to answer for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "But it's not the same after all, the lady was at the old lady's place before, she was a granddaughter, and she was a guest! After Miss Houtian got married, It is the wife of the Hou Mansion, the granddaughter-in-law of the old lady, and the master of the Jia family, so it is naturally different!"

"That's the truth!" Daiyu nodded.

"By the way, Miss," Zijuan remembered something, and quickly asked again: "Master Hou, did you mention that when you married, you can bring a few maids, housewives and so on?"

When Daiyu heard this, she was also slightly stunned, and said: "I didn't say that, but Hu Po came here a few days ago and said that Brother Jing ordered everything to follow my will!"

"Master Hou is so kind to Miss!" Zijuan laughed.

Daiyu's face was filled with a smile, but she didn't speak.

After a pause, Zijuan smiled again: "Miss is about to leave the cabinet now, and she is married to someone like Lord Hou. I don't know how many girls and ladies in the capital who have not left the cabinet will be envied!"

As she spoke, Zijuan laughed as if thinking of some funny scene.

Daiyu next to her also smiled, her face full of joy and longing...

The two chatted for a long time, and seeing that the midnight had passed, Zijuan hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, it's past the third watch, you have to go to bed quickly! Otherwise, when you get up tomorrow, you should bear two big I have dark circles under my eyes!"

"Well, it's getting late!"

It just so happened that Daiyu was also a little sleepy at this time, and Dang even let Zijuan serve her and fell asleep again.

So, a good night's sleep!
…………

March fifteen.

The day before Jia Jing's wedding.

Early in the morning, many servants in the Hou's Mansion, led by Hu Po, began to make a final inspection of everything in the Hou's Mansion!
Because of the excitement in her heart, Jia Jing simply hid in the study to study and meditate.

Just after turning two pages of a book, Lai Fu suddenly came in to report that Jia Lian had come.

Jia Jing hurriedly ordered Laifu to invite people in.

"Why did Brother Lian come to my place today?" Jia Jing asked with a smile.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "This time, I came here to congratulate the third brother Jing on his wedding in advance, and to tell the third brother that the master suddenly sent me to Ping'an Prefecture. The round trip is estimated to take fifteen or six days. Time, but it can't catch up with Jing's third brother's wedding ceremony!"

"Ping'an Prefecture?" Jia Jing frowned and said, "Why did you send you there in time for this day?"

"This is the reason why I came to look for the third brother Jing this time. The master gave me a letter, saying that it was important and could not be more important. He ordered me to send it to the mansion of the Jiedu envoy of Ping'an Prefecture in person, and forced me I have to get up early in the morning!"

Jia Lian mocked: "We, a noble family in central Beijing, have to write to a Jiedu envoy from another state. I'm afraid there are some stories in it!"

Hearing Jia Lian's words, the Liaodong secret report received years ago suddenly appeared in Jia Jing's mind, and he thought of the information about the remnants of the abolished prince intervening in the army.

In an instant, Jia Jing's expression became extremely serious, "Ping'an Prefecture? Is it their next target?"

"What's the next goal?" Jia Lian hurriedly asked after hearing Jia Jing's words.

Jia Jing didn't answer, but said to Jia Lian: "What does the letter from the master look like? You show it to me!"

"Here it is!"

Jia Lian took out an envelope half finger thick from his pocket, and handed it over.

Reaching out to take the heavy envelope, Jia Jing looked at it carefully, except for the two private seals of Jia Amnesty used to seal the letter, there was not a single word on the envelope.

The faith is so strong that the sun can't see through it, and it's hard to break the seal to check, so Jia Jing and Jia Lian have nothing to do with this letter for a while.

Unable to guess what was inside, and didn't want to startle the snake, Jia Jing had no choice but to tell Jia Lian to play by ear.

After thinking about it again, Jia Jing arranged again for the sake of safety: "Well, I will lend you ten cavalry soldiers to protect you to Ping'an Prefecture! Second Brother Lian will come to the mansion to find Lai Fu before he leaves tomorrow morning. Just ask for someone!"

"Is it the kind of bodyguard cavalry that escorted Uncle Lin to inspect the state capitals?" Jia Lian asked.

Seeing Jia Jing nodding her head to confirm, Jia Lian nodded and smiled and said, "That's great, with these cavalry guards here, my safety is guaranteed!"

After talking about things, Jia Lian sat with Jia Jing for a while, and then left.
