Buddha-like Mrs. Lin
Chapter 49
The little angel who did not subscribe enough saw the anti-theft badge,
It returned to normal after 24 hours ~
The acceptance was a marriage proposal. After the man took a fancy to the woman, he asked a matchmaker to be the matchmaker,
If the woman agreed, she would accept the engagement gift from the man, which was usually a wild goose.
Asking for the name was a match of eight characters. After the marriage proposal was successful,
The man would ask the woman's name and time of birth to divine whether the eight characters were a match.
If the eight characters were a match, the man would ask the matchmaker to bring a gift to the woman and inform the woman that the marriage could continue.
It was also known as the marriage proposal or the small proposal.
After that, there was also the ceremony that was now known as the marriage proposal,
The marriage proposal and the betrothal gift were officially presented,
Including the man's gift and the woman's gift in return.
And after the betrothal gift,
The man calculated the auspicious date of the wedding and asked the matchmaker to bring the invitation letter with the date of birth to the woman's house,
He told the woman the date,
He asked for the woman's opinion.
If she agreed,
Then he could prepare for the wedding.
Only after the marriage proposal was accepted could the marriage be considered a public affair.
After the marriage proposal, the marriage was considered a real deal,
There would be no more changes.
Previously, the marriage between Jia Min and Lin Ruhai only went to the marriage proposal. Later, there was a change in the marriage proposal,
The two families only needed the news that the two of them were not compatible,
The marriage agreement was easily broken off.
Whether others believed it or not,
At least their reputations were not damaged too much.
On the other hand, the marriage between Jia Su and Zhou Yu had already been decided. On the contrary, it had attracted a lot of speculation from the outside world, which had affected both their reputations.
Fortunately, the marriage proposal (which was usually carried out a month before the wedding) had not yet been carried out, so it had not reached the point of no return —
This was also the most important reason why the two marriages could be exchanged successfully in the end.
If Jia Su and Zhou Yu had gone through the ceremony, Jia Min would probably only be left with a long life with a lamp and a statue of Buddha.
Zhou Yu's ending would definitely not be any better.
Chi Xia carefully broke down the ancient wedding process for Jia Su to listen. Only then did she understand that her relationship with Lin Ruhai was not considered an engaged couple in the eyes of outsiders.
Jia Su thought of her previous behavior and could not help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
Fortunately, no one would pursue the matter.
The two families officially began the wedding process. There were no twists and turns in the middle. Soon, it was the last process of the wedding —
Marriage proposal.
Early in the morning, Jia Shu was pulled up. First, she was dressed by the matron of honor (using multicolored silk thread to remove the hair on her face). After that, there was a lot of tossing and turning. It wasn't until the guests had eaten the wedding banquet at noon that she was covered with a veil and carried by Jia She to the front of the wedding sedan.
Because of the significance of the marriage between the two families, even if Madam Jashi was unwilling, she could only step forward and 'cry on the sedan chair'.
Even though Jia Shu's head was covered with a veil, he could still feel how reluctant Jia Shi was when she cried and how exaggerated and fake her words were when she cried.
The only thing that surprised her was that when she was carried to the sedan, Jia Xie whispered in her ear, "If Lin Ruhai does not treat you well, just come back and find me. I will teach him a lesson for you."
Jia Su was a little dumbfounded at first. After all, although Jia Xie was not considered a perfect person in the original novel, he was still a bad person who could not be washed clean.
However, when she thought of Jia Xie's various acts of foolish filial piety to Jia Xie and his behavior when Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu were in trouble, Jia Su understood.
Although this was an "evil" person, he was also a sentimental person.
The wedding procession made a big circle in the capital before arriving at Marquis Wen'an Manor in the evening.
At this time, Mother Lin was already sitting on the main seat.
"First bow to the heavens and the earth —"
"Second bow to the ancestors —"
"Third bow to the elders —"
"Husband and wife bow to each other —"
Jia Su listened to the orders of the celebrant and bowed one by one, but she felt that... this procedure was not the same as what she knew.
Just when Jia Su thought that the next sentence would be to "send them to the bridal chamber," she found that the celebrant had stopped talking and then came to her and Lin Ruhai's side, and then led them in another direction.
After bowing to the Lin family elders and guests, Jia Su was led into the bridal chamber by Lin Ruhai.
-
Jia Su waited in the bridal chamber for a long time, but Lin Ruhai still did not come in, so she was a little impatient.
In addition, she was hungry, and the Lin family did not have a sister-in-law to prepare dinner for her. She could not help but want to lift the veil.
Fortunately, Chi Xia was alert and quickly stopped her.
But the most important thing was that not long after, a servant girl came in with a bowl of chicken soup, which very well alleviated Jia Su's hunger.
After a long time, Lin Ruhai, who reeked of alcohol, finally entered the bridal chamber, surrounded by a group of people.
Lin Ruhai's friends were all scholars. They were just there to join in the fun and were not enthusiastic about the bridal chamber. When they heard that Jia Su was only a concubine-born daughter, they were worried that she would not be able to respond to their jokes, so they quickly let the newlyweds go.
The matron of honor brought in a plate of dumplings and looked expectantly at Jia Su.
Jia Su had heard of the custom of eating raw dumplings, so she straightforwardly picked up her chopsticks and reached for the plate.
She did not know if the kitchen had cut corners when cooking, but Jia Su originally only wanted to pick up a raw dumpling and eat it. After all, it was useless to eat more.
She did not expect that when she picked up one dumpling, she would pick up two dumplings.
Looking carefully, it turned out that another dumpling was stuck to the dumpling she had picked up and was picked up together.
In the bridal chamber, all the servants of the Lin family widened their eyes in surprise. A few of the elderly could not help but cry out.
Even Lin Ruhai, who was next to Jia Su, looked a little dazed.
Jia Su hesitated for a moment. She thought that if she put down the dumpling she had picked up at this time, not only would it not be good, but it might also disappoint the servants of the Lin family in the bridal chamber. She braced herself and stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed a few times and swallowed it.
The matron of honor promptly asked, "Are you going to give birth or not?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Jia Su shouted three times in a row and was about to put down her chopsticks.
However, the gazes of the others were too intense, causing her to stop: "What's wrong?" Didn't she already eat the dumplings?
The people in the room: "… …"
Chi Xia quickly poked Jia Su: "Keep eating!"
Jia Su: "… …"
It can't be, right?
These half-cooked dumplings really tasted bad.
However, the gazes of the others were intense, so she did not dare to act recklessly at this time.
Thinking of this, she reached for the half-cooked dumplings with her chopsticks again.
Fortunately, there were no more accidents this time. She smoothly picked up only one dumpling.
"Are you going to give birth or not?"
"Yes!"
"Are you going to give birth or not?"
"Yes … …"
After eating seven or eight half-cooked dumplings in a row, Jia Su was finally let off by the matron of honor.
After drinking the cross-cupped wine, Jia Su and Lin Ruhai each cut a lock of hair and put it together at the request of the matron of honor. After that, the others left the bridal chamber one by one.
After everyone left, Jia Su immediately turned to stare at Lin Ruhai: "Husband, shouldn't we consummate our marriage ~?"
Lin Ruhai's cheeks flushed: "Yes, yes … …"
Jia Min recounted the scenes in her dream. Except for the things related to Daiyu, she told everything else to Jia Shi.
Logically, these words should be told to Jia Daishan.
However, because of the disgraceful things she did before, her father, who loved her dearly, was so angry that he was annoyed whenever he saw her. He did not want to see her anymore.
Left with no choice, Jia Min could only tell her father these words through her mother.
What was the use of knowing these things by herself?
As a woman, even if she wanted to change her own fate, she could not do anything.
However, in her memory, her third sister's husband followed the right person because of the fight for the throne. Later, he helped the new emperor seize most of the power from the Emperor, stabilized the court, and had a meteoric rise in his official career.
Later, because he discovered several new things that were of great use to the country and the people, he was conferred the title of Marquis.
However, in her memory, her third sister took her concubine mother away a few years after their marriage. After that, the Jia family had an accident. She clearly had the ability to help the Jia family, but she had always been a bystander.
Jia Min could not understand Jia Su's way of doing things. She was even resentful in her heart because of this. In addition, she envied her third sister, so she snatched her third sister's marriage.
In addition to wanting to change her own fate, she also hoped to borrow the power of her third sister's husband to help the Jia family when they were in trouble.
At least, she did not want them to end up like in her memory …
A vast expanse of white, so clean.
However, after Jia Min said so much, Madam Jia laughed directly after hearing it, "Min 'er, I didn't know that you can't even distinguish between dreams and reality. Let's not talk about the fact that our Rongguo Province is now very powerful, and it is impossible for us to fall and have our property confiscated. Let's not talk about the fact that the Crown Prince's position is stable, and there is no possibility of him being defeated.
Let's talk about your third sister. How can she live well when all of us have good endings? "
When she said this, her eyes were full of contempt.
Jia Min sensitively sensed that something was wrong from Madam Jia's words, "Mother, why are you so sure that my third sister is not living well?"
She was very sure that she was not dreaming. Her third sister's life, which was envied by all the women in the world, could not be fake.
But her mother swore that she would never have a better life than them.
Because of this, she did not even have time to sigh for her mother's almost non-existent political sense.
Even she knew that the fight for the throne was full of danger, and there was no guarantee that she would succeed.
Madam Jia narrowed her eyes. Anyway, there was a gap between Min 'er and her. Why should she care about her image in her heart?
Thinking of this, she simply told her all the stories about the marriage of several concubines' daughters, "On the surface, the eldest daughter married Xiuguogongfu, who was also one of the Four Princes and Eight Dukes. That concubine's son also did not disappoint. He became a Juren at a young age. His status was the best match for her. Vaguely, it seemed that she was the one who climbed up the social ladder. However, that concubine's son had a concubine, who was his biological cousin. They grew up together and had a deep relationship. How could she get involved?"
"The second daughter's marriage was also good. Marquis Jinyang remarried. Marquis Jinyang got married and had a title of nobility. However, Marquis Jinyang had a deep relationship with his first wife. He already had a son. It was impossible for him to let your second sister give birth to a son to compete with the first wife's son for the title of nobility."
Just mentioning the marriage of two concubines' sisters, Jia Min was full of cold sweat. Then she looked at Madam Jia with her eyes full of horror.
A woman's marriage was like a second reincarnation. However, her mother, who was loving, gentle, and sensible, who could be called a model wife, still acted as usual after pushing her two concubines' sisters into the fire pit. She didn't feel guilty at all.
If she hadn't mentioned this matter herself, she wouldn't have noticed the scheme behind the marriage of her sisters.
No, not only her eldest and second sister's marriage, but also her third sister's marriage might not be as glamorous as it appeared on the surface …
"As for your third sister, what kind of famous son-in-law with a bright future?
That concubine's son fought with his wife for favor because of his birth mother. When Marquis Dingnan got tired of his birth mother, the mother and son didn't have a good life. They were suppressed in the manor. They didn't study for many years and weren't allowed to practice martial arts. How could they have a bright future?
Because of this, that pair of mother and son, what they hate the most in their lives is having a stable position and occupying the righteous wife. "
"Before the third daughter's concubine gave birth to the third daughter, didn't she also jump around happily in front of me?
Now, isn't it just right to send her daughter to accompany her own kind? "
Jia Min suddenly understood why her third sister chose to be a bystander when the Jia family was in trouble.
She didn't add insult to injury, which was already repaying the Jia family's kindness of raising her for many years!
Jia Min felt that Madam Jia was too scary.
Madam Jia saw Jia Min's eyes and sighed in her heart, "Min 'er, with such a family, you say your third sister has a better life than us?
Does she have three heads and six arms? "
How could Jia Su not know if she had three heads and six arms?
The moth's antennae on the lampshade moved, confirming Jia Min's identity as a reborn person.
She knew that with Jia Min's upbringing, how could she be so brainless and have no bottom line?
If she was reborn, if she knew the ending of her only daughter and the Jia family, if she had a cheat to compare with her, but she had never helped the Jia family and Daiyu, her actions would make sense.
However …
She was still too kind.
If she was in Jia Min's position, not to mention snatching her brother-in-law, she would even rebel against him!
The people she cared about would have their property confiscated in the future?
That's okay, she could overthrow the dynasty that would be confiscated in the future and be the emperor herself!
Who would dare to confiscate her property when she was the emperor?
Unfortunately, she had no feelings for the Jia family. Not to mention rebelling, she could only watch coldly and save a few little sisters at the same time. That was the limit of what she could do.
There were a few cute little girls in Dream of the Red Chamber. It would be a pity if they had the same ending as the original.
Jia Min and her daughter didn't know that there was a third person in the room, so they spoke without any scruples.
"Mother, even if you hate my sisters' birth mother, they have always been respectful to you. Why do you treat them like this?
If they marry well, they will be a kind of help to my two brothers! "
In this era, the existence of a daughter was for marriage.
However, after a woman was married off, there would definitely be a huge difference in the relationship between her life and death.
Her mother and her three sisters' birth mother didn't have a life and death feud!
No matter how Jia Min thought about it, she felt that Mrs. Jia's actions were suffocating!
With a creak, the door of Mrs. Jia's room was closed by Yuan Yang.
Only Jia Min and Mrs. Jia were left in the room.
Jia Min's eyes darkened, but she didn't say anything. She followed behind her and walked over.
"Sit down."
Jia Min sat down.
Mrs. Jia looked at her only daughter seriously. Her eyes were obscure, "Min'er, did you get what you wanted?"
Jia Min raised her head abruptly and met Lady Jashi's deep eyes. She instinctively turned her head to avoid her gaze.
When Jia Min reacted, she realized that her behavior would make her mother sad. But when she thought of the purpose of her visit today, she felt more and more uneasy. She couldn't look directly into her mother's eyes that were full of concern.
Jia Min knew that her parents had been busy for a long time and hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
It was reasonable to say that she had gotten the result she wanted. Naturally, she should stay in the yard to prepare for her marriage and not add more trouble to her parents.
But as long as she thought that her third sister, who had been happy after marriage in her previous life, would marry into the Lin family because of her and end up like her in her previous life, she felt guilty and uneasy. She even looked forward to the future that originally belonged to her third sister.
She lowered her head, "Mother, I regret it."
As long as the marriage was changed, things would go back to the original track.
Her third sister would be like how she remembered. In the end, she would have children and a loving husband and wife. And she... with the memory of her previous life, at least, at least, she wouldn't end up with an early death.
And her daughter would certainly not be the same as before, living a life of "wind, frost, knives and swords" in Rongguo Province.
That was enough.
"Mother, I've thought about it clearly these days. The Lin family is more suitable for me. Dingnan Houfu's marriage should be returned to my third sister." Jia Min didn't dare to look at Jia Shi's eyes.
Jia Shi narrowed her eyes and looked at her daughter who had rarely made her worry since she was young. A wave of anger gradually rose in her heart.
But her expression was still calm, "Do you think marriage is like buying jewelry?
If you don't like it, you can change it? "
"For more than half a month, because of your reckless behavior, in order to not let your reputation be damaged, to not let the other unmarried daughters of the Jia family be affected by you and to not make enemies with the Lin family, how much effort did your father and I make?
Now you're saying 'I regret it' as if nothing had happened … "
"Min'er, do you think it's possible?"
Jia Shi sat on the bed with her eyelids drooping. She looked extremely calm.
But Jia Min knew that her mother was like the sky in summer at this time, with a lot of hidden power. The calmer she looked on the surface, the more likely she would be unable to resist the thunderstorm after the explosion.
Jia Min sighed in her heart. Before she came, she was prepared to be rejected by her mother, so she was not disappointed at this time.
"Mother, the Lin family doesn't know my third sister's name and my third sister's name, and they have never seen us."
Jia Shi's eyes were wide open and full of disbelief, "You want to marry into the Lin family with your third sister's identity?
Do you know what will happen to you after this incident?
Moreover, the Lin family has never seen you, but the son of the concubine of Dingnan Houfu has been intimate with you. "
Madam Jashi almost gritted her teeth when she said the last few words.
Jia Min pursed her lips, "Dingnan Houfu is dying, and Rongguo Province is now powerful, so they won't dare to do anything to my third sister.
Moreover, the original marriage was between him and my third sister. They are in the wrong, so they won't publicize it. "
With the support of Rongguo Province, as long as her third sister was not hopelessly stupid, she would be able to gain a foothold very quickly.
But her third sister had lived a good life in her previous life, so how could she be stupid?
And after that, her third sister and Prince Zhou could be together in her previous life, so naturally, they could be together in this life.
Jia Shi was so angry that she laughed, "Min'er, I really want to open your brain and see if it is full of straw!
You have planned well for our third sister.
But what about you?
Rongguo Province?
Jia family's other girls?
Do you really think that the Lin family is a soft persimmon that you can bully as you please? "
"I won't let the Lin family spread the news that the bride is not my third sister."
Jia Min looked up, "The Lin family is a scholarly family after all, so they won't take revenge on Rongguo Province with the future of the girls in my family.
Originally, when the legitimate daughter marries over, father will still give the compensation that he promised. They have no reason to fall out with Rongguo Province and become enemies. "
The marriage was originally a matter between the two families, so the identity of the marriage partner was much more important than other conditions.
How could the Lin family hesitate to choose between a fake legitimate daughter who was a concubine and a legitimate legitimate daughter who was raised as a noble lady?
"All the words and deeds between Dingnan Houfu and I were done out of love and out of courtesy, so there was no violation of the rules."
Although it was against the rules for her to be "in love" with her brother-in-law, her father would not be stupid enough to reveal the truth of the marriage to the Lin family. Moreover, she would still be a virgin when she married into the family, so they would not be able to catch any mistakes.
Even if the Lin family had a grudge against her, it would not affect the marriage with Rongguo Province.
And Ruhai was a gentleman, so he would not do anything to a weak girl like her.
Jia Shi was furious and slapped the bed, "Then why did you lie before?
I gave birth to you and raised you up, just to let you court death? "
If she hadn't reacted quickly and stopped him in time, the High Duke's horsewhip would have lashed Jia Min's tender skin until her flesh was torn apart!
Jia Min's eyes were sore, and she remembered all kinds of scenes in her previous life. She wanted to bury the question deep in her heart, but she asked, "Mother, if you really had to choose between me and Rongguo Province, what would you do?"
Jia Shi was silent for a while, and then she said, "What does this have to do with what you did?"
Jia Min did not answer, and asked again, "If what I did may endanger your status and reputation, what would you do?"
Lady Jashi became angry out of humiliation, "Are you dissatisfied with mother?"
Jia Min shook her head, "I don't dare!"
"Don't dare?"
Jia Shi suddenly stood up and pointed at Jia Min's forehead with her index finger. She could not help but tremble, "What a good word!"
Seeing that her mother was angry, Jia Min's heart was filled with regret.
But before she could say anything, Jia Shi calmed down, "If I deny it, I think Min'er will not believe it."
Jia Min looked up and met with her cold eyes, "Ke Min'er, I taught you the duties of the head of the family since you were young, do you still remember?"
As the head of the family, she should regard the future of the family as her responsibility, and her actions must not violate the interests of the family.
Jia Shi was not the head of the family, but she was the wife of Rongguo Province.
"I never thought that there was anything wrong with putting you behind Rongguo Province." This was her responsibility as the head of the family in Rongguo Province.
If Jia Min did not know that in the future, Rongguo Manor would not differentiate between the elder and the younger, and that her second brother, as the second son, secretly lived in Rongxi Hall with the support of his mother, she might have believed Madam Jia's words.
Unfortunately, there was no "if".
