Red House Shoufu

Chapter 414

At the end of the day, the wedding party set off from Lin's Mansion, walked westward along Xuezi Road, and left Huanghuafang, then went south, walked around Chongwenli Street, and walked around the Qingmingfang where the Wang family was located, beating gongs and drums, and then passed through the gate of the square. Enter and go to Wang's house.

The sound of gongs and drums attracted a lot of spectators. There was even a group of children chasing behind the welcoming team, learning the nursery rhymes they had just heard, and taking the wedding candy and money from the servants of the Lin family, smiling contagiously. Lin Shu, who was a little nervous.

"Fuquan, give the children more Xiqian, and let them sing at the top of their voices, Happy, I love to hear it!"

Crash, clatter...

Fuquan grabbed several handfuls of happy money from a box beside him, sprinkled them among the children, and laughed loudly: "Good baby, sing loudly, Lord Hou will reward you!"

"Qi Linzi, Wen Kui-jun, assisting the sage to protect the people. The flower fairy, descended to the mortal world, embroidered a wedding dress and entered the forest gate. A talented woman worships the world, and she gave birth to a baby smiling, smiling..."

"Hahahaha...reward!"

Lin Shu reined in his horse and walked slowly, laughing loudly, leaning over to touch the children who sang the loudest, Fuquan took advantage of the situation and gave each of the children a small handful of wedding candies, and the children laughed even sweeter.

Crackling, crackling!
The double-hanging firecrackers hanging in front of the Wang family’s gate exploded just as the welcoming procession appeared at the street entrance. The red confetti and diffused fireworks showed today’s celebration, and the Wang family’s guests crowded in front of the gate one after another. See the demeanor of the groom.

"The Wang family has a daughter, wearing a wedding dress and red makeup. When the auspicious time is chosen, the good girl will come out of the court!"

"There is a man in the Lin family, leading the phoenix sedan chair. Choose a good day, and a good son-in-law welcomes you!"

The ceremonial officials of the two families sang a welcome speech duet, and the gate of the Wang family, which was originally hung with red silk, slowly opened, and a row of teenagers poured out of the gate, holding wooden sticks wrapped in red silk, all smiling, Stay at the gate.

The two people in the front row were also carrying a large altar of daughter Hong sealed with red silk, waiting for the groom to enter the battle.

Good guy, that big pot of daughter Hong, I am afraid that the father-in-law suddenly turned into a slave to his daughter, and he didn't want his daughter to marry off like this, planning to get the groom drunk and throw him home?

"Wang Can from a certain Wang family, I heard that my brother-in-law is very talented, today I asked my brother-in-law to compose a poem for my Wang family daughter, as a token of affection!"

Fortunately, it's not a fight for wine!
Lin Shu bowed his hands to thank his wife's cousin for not being drunk, and walked forward. His mind recalled the scene of the spring outing with Wang Yuan outside Gusu City in the early spring of that year. The clothes, the fragrance of butterflies fighting. The moon flattened the grass, and half of the face was full of red makeup. The wind warmed up, and the sun grew, and the willows hung down. A pair of dancing swallows, thousands of flying flowers, the sun is setting all over the ground."

Wang Can is also straightforward, thinking that this brother-in-law is really talented, so he takes a step back and bows his hands to invite him.

Lin Shu took a step forward, and saw a young boy holding a few feathered arrows in his hand, saying childishly: "Brother-in-law, I don't understand poetry, if you can throw these arrows into the copper pot, I will let you go." go in."

It turned out to be throwing pots, which is interesting.

Although Marquis Yongfeng was a marquis who guarded the civil affairs, Lin Shu thought he was both civil and military, and he rode and shot constantly on weekdays, so naturally he would not show his timidity.

He took the feather arrow from the little cousin's hand and threw it six times in a row without missing the arrow. The crowd beside him cheered in unison: "Good!"

"How? Can I go in?"

Lin Shu smiled and rubbed the little baby's head, gave the initiation to Wenkui, and stuffed him with a little golden key, and immediately won the little baby's heart, showing a big smile, stepped aside, hugged My father's thigh offered Bora.

The next step was either to block the way with poems or to pass through couplets. With the help of Lin Deze and other friends of the same age, Lin Shu passed nine passes in a row, and finally came to Wang Yuan's small courtyard.

Lin Deze and others were waiting at the gate of the small courtyard. Lin Shu walked slowly to the door of the boudoir, and knocked on the door three times: "Sister Yuan, I'll take you home!"

……

The door of the boudoir was opened by Lin Shu with seven urging poems. Of course, happy money was also indispensable. Wang Yuan's originally nervous heart disappeared instantly after Lin Shu said to take her home.

Since I met Lin Shu when I was a child, the flowers have bloomed and withered for several years in spring and autumn.The two know each other on a blind date, and now they are both husband and wife. They should join hands for a lifetime and stay together for a lifetime of happiness.

Lin Shu took Wang Yuan's hand and arrived at the main hall of Wang's family surrounded by his friends.The two knelt at the knees of Wang Qi and his wife, and listened to the teachings of their strict father and loving mother under the witness of their relatives and friends. Finally, Wang Huan, the older brother, went out with Wang Yuan on his back and presented him with a sedan chair.

Lin Shu got on his horse and looked back at Wang Qi and his wife in front of the gate of Wang's house. He saw his father-in-law pretending to be strong while his mother-in-law was already leaning on her husband and secretly wiping away tears.

"Lord Taishan and Taishui, don't worry. When Madam comes into my Lin family, my son-in-law will love her and respect her for the rest of his life. We will go through the journey together hand in hand, and we will stay together for the rest of our lives. We will return with Madam on a certain day, honoring our parents and relatives!"

Wang Yuan in the sedan chair was wiping her tears at first, while the maids such as Tao Zi and Tang Zi outside the sedan chair were thinking about how to comfort them, when they heard a soft voice of embarrassment suddenly coming from inside the sedan chair: "How can there be so many people in front of you?" The one who talks about love..."

Wang Qi waved his hand and ordered loudly: "Go, don't miss the auspicious time!"

"Boys, let's play! Get up the sedan chair!"

The sound of firecrackers sounded again, the gongs and drums burst out, and the welcoming team set off again. The musicians played harder this time than before, as if they wanted to beat back the severe winter cold with cheerful and festive music!

……

The Lin family's welcoming team hadn't returned yet, and Sheng Jia had already arrived at the gate of Huanghuafang.

Lin Jin led all the men in the Lin family to meet them in front of the square gate.

As the people in the capital often say, the Jia family is good-looking, but compared to the Lin family, the men of the Jia family are more feminine, but not as majestic as the men of the Lin family.

For example, Lin Bo and Lin Feng standing beside Lin Jin were both similar to Lin Shu. The emperor's first impression was that these two were upright, refined and resolute, and had a masculine demeanor.

On the contrary, Lin Gui, who was quite young, was wearing a Confucian gown and a red cloak, pretending to be a little adult, which made the emperor laugh a little bit.

"Student Lin Jin, bring the descendants of the Lin family to meet my emperor!"

"Long live Long live Long live!"

Not only the Lin family all bowed down to greet him, but also the people who were separated by the dragon guards also kowtowed to the emperor one after another.

Lin Jinnai was born in Juren, according to the etiquette, he only needs to bow and prostrate.The emperor saw that his temples were all white, but he was in good health and his voice was loud. He couldn't help sighing: "There is an old man in the Lin family, and he is like a needle for the sea. An old man in the Yun family is like a treasure, and he will not deceive me. Hurry up, I am here today." As a guest, wouldn't the master invite me to have a glass of wedding wine?"

Prince Gao Wancheng personally stepped forward to help Lin Jin up, while the fifth prince Gao Wanxuan helped up the rest of the Lin family one by one.

Lin Jin turned sideways and asked: "Your Majesty is here, and the humble house is full of brilliance. Today, the Lin family's son is married, and His Majesty is here in person. It is the Lin family's blessing. The students welcome His Majesty into the mansion!"

Along the way, the emperor chatted cordially with Lin Jin, asked about the situation of the Lin family in Gusu, and praised Lin Jin for his ability to teach his children and grandchildren, to cultivate talents for the country, and to be a good old man of the country.

The holy car was approaching, and the guests gathered in front of the Lin Mansion, shouting long live.After exchanging a few pleasantries with several important ministers, the emperor came to the main hall.

At this time, other than the master Lin Jin, the people sitting with him in the main hall were all important officials of the court.For example, several bachelors from the cabinet, several veterans from the five military governors' mansions, Jia Jing and Jia She from Ningrong and Rongfu, etc.

"It seems that the day of the fifteenth day of the winter moon is really well chosen. Our monarchs and ministers just take advantage of the rest to have a wedding and drink."

The emperor made a joke with the officials for the first time, and everyone present laughed, "It's really a good day and so on."

Just talking gossip, the relatives have returned.The firecrackers outside the gate exploded for no money. Amidst the noise, Lin Shu brought the bride to the main hall, looked up at the two sitting in the main hall, Lin Shu couldn't help laughing.

The emperor wants to be his father, Gao Tang?
The ceremonial singer has been replaced by an official from the Ministry of Rites, and Gao Wanxuan acts as a fairy boy to welcome the bride and groom, leading the bride and groom to the main hall.

Just listen to the official of the Ministry of Rites shouting:

"The toe of Lin, Mr. Zhenzhen, is in Xi Linxi.

Linzhiding, Zhenzhen's public surname, Yu Qilinxi.

The horn of Lin, Zhenzhen Gongzu, Yu Xi Linxi!
The sun in the east, the son of the other side, is in my room.Come in my room, walk on me.

The moon in the east, the son of the other side, is in my door.Be in my door, walk in my hair.

Wei magpie has a nest, and Wei Jiu lives in it; its son returns home, and a hundred liang guard it.

Wei magpie has a nest, and Wei Jiu squares it; its son returns home, and a hundred liang generals will take it.

Wei magpie has a nest, and Wei Jiu is full of it; the son returns home, and the hundred and twenty percent of it. "

"Pray at an auspicious time, and pray to heaven and earth!"

Lin Shu and Wang Yuan held a lily made of red silk together, bowed to the world outside the door, then got up, and faced the emperor and Lin Jin who were sitting in the main hall. On the high table between them were Lin Ruhai, his wife and Lin Ruze. The spiritual seats of the couple are filled with red silk and colorful flowers, and the fragrance is curling up.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

After the ceremonial officer chanted, Lin Shu looked up at the emperor sitting above him, and was very grateful when he saw the loving father on his face.

Regardless of whether it is sincere or a work to win people's hearts, this emperor is really good to him.Lin Shu led Wang Yuan, knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor first, then turned to Lin Jin on the other side to bow down, until finally, the two kowtowed to the spirit tablet on the high table again.

This unique salute in the high hall attracted whispers from the guests inside and outside the main hall.The ceremonial officer did not pause, and shouted again: "Husband and wife worship each other!"

Lin Shu and Wang Yuan stood facing each other, and Changbai stood up.The big gift was finally completed, and according to the original process, it was time to send the bride into the bridal chamber.

But Xia Shouzhong took out a scroll of colorful auspicious clouds from his sleeve, and slowly opened it: "The wife of Marquis Yongfeng, Lin Wang, accepts the decree!"

Wang Yuan was still wearing a red hijab. She knew the emperor was sitting in the hall, and her palms were sweating when she saluted just now. After all, the emperor is in front, who can not be nervous?
As soon as she heard that there was an imperial decree, she became even more nervous.

Fortunately, Lin Shu seemed to have sensed her nervousness, approached and held her hand: "Follow me..."

Lin Shu graciously took Wang Yuan's hand, and led her to kneel in front of the set incense table. Wang Yuan calmed down and responded softly, "I respectfully invite Sheng An!"

"The imperial edict said that the ministers have the code of honoring the public, borrowing the inner virtue to make friends with each other. The imperial court has the kindness of the nobles, and treats all husbands and nobles. The Yifan Mizhang respects Jiayong. The wife of Yongfeng Hou Linshu, Wang Shi, Kunyi Yuxiu , The sound of governance is also worthy of honor and favor. It is suitable to present you as Mrs. Yongfenghou, the imperial edict of Xi is in the play, and the emblem of Lanfang Wei Tuo is like the feet of mountains and rivers. The golden paper is just around the corner, and Zigao is approaching from afar. Here you are!"

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace, long live, long live, long live!"

After three worships, Wang Yuan got up to receive the imperial edict under the guidance of Lin Shu.After the couple thanked the emperor sitting in the high hall again, they went to the back hall amidst the singing officer's shout to send them into the bridal chamber.

Wang Yuan's wedding gown was embroidered by her own hands, with gold and silver threads. I don't know how many layers of silk, cloth, gold and silver were used. In addition to the gold and jade hairpin ring on her head, she was almost exhausted after a lot of tossing.

Lin Shu felt sorry for his wife's suffering, and after helping Wang Yuan into the house, he whispered to the maidservants who came with him: "Go and fetch some food for Madam and warm it on the stove. If you are hungry, serve Madam some first."

Then he said in Wang Yuan's ear: "Sister Yuan, take a rest first. I'll go to the front to entertain the guests first, and I'll be back later. If you're hungry, you can eat some food first."

Even through the hijab, Wang Yuan could still feel Lin Shu's hot breath hitting her ears, and in addition, she was thinking about the bridal chamber things her mother taught her last night, and all kinds of imaginative images intertwined in her mind. He responded with a voice like a mosquito: "Well, I see, Brother Lin, let's get busy..."

Lin Shu quietly squeezed Wang Yuan's soft and boneless little hand, smiled, and left the room.Wang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the sound of the door closing.

It turned out that the two had been close, but in today's situation, she couldn't feel her face flushed. It was so cold in the winter months, and she felt so hot all over that she almost couldn't bear it.

……

The emperor was like an ordinary guest, punching and drinking with several old men in the main hall, and the few academicians beside him were just booing cheerfully, without any intention of admonishing them, only Qian Qianli, who used to be the Minister of Rites, opened his mouth , and finally just shook his head helplessly.

As the groom's official, Lin Shu was given a lot of wine.Including his two students Gao Wancheng and his brothers, they booed one after another without getting drunk.Fortunately, the younger brother of the Lin family blocked the wine for him, otherwise Lin Shu would have been forced to lie down before the guests left.

After Sheng Jia left, the guests also left one after another, and the Lin Mansion, which had been noisy for a whole day, slowly returned to calm.

By the time Daiyu and her two sister-in-laws led the maidservant to tidy up the back house, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

She finally found some free time to lie on the soft bed to rest, but at this moment, Nanny Zhang hurried into the room.

"Sure enough, as the princess expected, someone planned to add medicine to the uncle's hangover soup..."

Daiyu, who was almost exhausted, stood up instantly in horror, her eyebrows frowned, and frost covered her pretty face.

When she was about to send someone to find Lin Shu, she hesitated for a while, put on a cloak and came to the front hall, and asked for Lin Jiu, who was in charge of the defense of the Lin residence.

"Princess, Chang Wei recruited. It was Yangzhou salt merchant Ma's family who asked him to poison the uncle! Chang Wei said that his parents, wife and children are all in the hands of the Ma family. He sneaked into our mansion a few years ago, waiting for the opportunity!"

Lin Jiu had just arrived back to normal, and was wondering why Daiyu would call her here, when she saw Zhang Nanny walking in with horror and resentment, reporting such appalling news.

Snapped!
Daiyu swept the teacup on the table with a flick of her sleeve, and said angrily, "How courageous! When I write a letter, Uncle Jiu, send it to the Zuo Dudu of Xiuyiwei immediately..."

"Girl, it's best to ask the Patriarch to make up his mind on this matter..."

Just as Lin Jiu said half a sentence, Daiyu glared at her and asked coldly, "Does Uncle Jiu think that my daughter can't be the head of the Lin family?"

It was only then that Lin Jiu realized that his girl was no longer the little girl who needed someone to protect her at all times. He clasped his fists and replied, "I dare not!"

"Uncle Nine, I'm not messing around. My brother is getting married today. Who are the guests who come to the house? The ministers of the cabinet, the old commander of the governor's mansion, and nearly half of the important ministers of the country are either in person or sent relatives from the mansion. If that person succeeds in poisoning, what do you think will happen?"

Daiyu considered that what she said just now was a bit serious, so she explained softly: "What's more, Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Fifth Prince are all here today. If something happens to our house, no one in the whole house can escape. The crime of beheading."

Hearing Daiyu's explanation, Lin Jiu's back was wet with cold sweat.

Only then did he come to his senses, and hurriedly bowed to plead guilty: "It's because the subordinates didn't think carefully, and the guards were not good enough, please punish me!"

Daiyu sighed with a pen: "Fortunately, my uncle seemed to have a premonition before, and asked me to take care of the kitchen. I asked Madam Zhang to lead a few confidants to pay attention at all times. Sure enough, someone planned to take advantage of the chaos. .”

brush brush brush...

Daiyu wrote the letter very quickly. After finishing writing, she stamped her own seal, sealed the letter, and handed it to Lin Jiu together with the token.

"Uncle Nine quickly sent him to the Embroidered Clothes Guards, and asked Governor Zuo to immediately send someone trustworthy to take Chang Wei back to the Imperial Prison. How could the little salt merchant be the real culprit behind the scenes? I really think my Lin family is a fool." ? There is definitely a black hand behind this."

Lin Jiu bowed to accept the order, took the secret letter and token and exited the main hall.

Of course, Daiyu would not just leave the matter to Xiuyiwei. After Lin Jiu left, she recruited Fuquan and asked him to bring a team of the princess's personal guards. Following the clues dug out in Changwei, she rushed directly into the palace. They captured the Ma family's mansion and shop in the capital, and detained more than a hundred masters and servants of the Ma family.

Immediately afterwards, Daiyu ordered people to interrogate overnight, and when Zuo Lan read the letter and was about to lead troops to arrest him, he received the latest information that Daiyu dug up.There are quite a few families in the capital involved in this case, and there are always no less than seven or eight families in the east and west cities.

What surprised Zuo Lan the most was that the Lin family would attack everywhere, and those who resisted would lose their legs or hands at least, or their lives at worst.To poison Lin Shu was to touch Daiyu's scales.

Lin Shu, who had already entered the bridal chamber, would never have imagined that his younger sister would be sitting in the main hall of Lin's mansion, calm and composed like a general of the Chinese army, commanding the Lin family's generals to inspect the family's thieves and foreign bandits, and the commander of the embroidered clothes and guards to make Zuo Lan, raiding the location of the criminals involved in the case is about to overthrow the entire capital.
