Dai Quan from outside and Nanny Zhu from the Queen's Palace arrived together. Everyone stood up to greet him, secretly surprised by the Lin family's deep kindness.
Dai Quan and Lin Zhao laughed and said: "Your Majesty and Prince Heng originally wanted to come to watch the ceremony, but the Queen thought it was inconsistent with the ceremony and was afraid that everyone would be restrained, so she persuaded the two nobles to stop. Let our family and Aunt Zhu
I hope Uncle Lin won't be offended by this trip on their behalf."
Lin Zhao said with a smile: "The two of you are willing to come to watch the ceremony, which means you have given our Lin family a great deal of face. Where can you say it is strange? Please."
Lin Zhao welcomed Dai Quan and Nanny Zhu to the throne. As soon as the auspicious time came, Lin Jue stood up to salute. Princess Beijing came out first, washed her hands, and took her place on the west steps; Daiyu followed closely,
In the center of the hall, facing south, she bowed to the guests watching the ceremony, then faced west and sat on the mat. Princess Beijing gently combed Daiyu's hair a few times, and then placed the comb on the south side of the mat.
After Princess Beijing was restored to her throne, the eldest princess stood up, and Lin Zhao then stood up to accompany her. The eldest princess washed her hands at the foot of the east steps and wiped them dry. The eldest princess and Lin Zhao bowed to each other and let them return to their seats.
Daiyu turned to the east and sat upright; the eldest princess washed her hands again and returned to her original position; the Baoqin tray came forward and offered a hairpin. The eldest princess took it and walked to Daiyu; she loudly recited a congratulation saying: "Make the month auspicious."
”
Then he knelt down and combed Daiyu's hair and added hairpins, then stood up and returned to the original position. Princess Beijing symbolically straightened Daiyu's hairdos. Daiyu stood up, and all the princesses bowed to Daiyu and congratulated her. Daiyu then returned
Going to the east room, Princess Beijing took the plain skirt from Bao Qin that matched the hairpin on Daiyu's head, and went to the room to help Daiyu change it.
After Daiyu came out of the room in her undergarment, she showed her imperial edict to all the princesses. The second time she added a hairpin, wore a deep skirt and a deep skirt, and paid her respects to the eldest princess. This was the second time to pay homage to her teachers and seniors for their cultivation.
The third is to add a hairpin crown, wear a long skirt with long sleeves, and bow to heaven and earth. This is the third bow to thank heaven and earth for the virtue of creating human beings. Then put the wine and rice wine, Dai Quan pinches it and points it forward.
After announcing the decree, Emperor Xiaode gave Daiyu the name Qinghe.
Lin Zhao nodded, expressing great satisfaction.
Qinghe, taken from the Book of Songs, the river water is clear and ripples.
Of course, there is another meaning. Li Qingzhao of the Great Zhou Dynasty is Lin Daiyu, whose courtesy name is Qinghe and known as Lin Qinghe. He is indeed dignified and majestic!
Then Aunt Zhu came forward and taught Daiyu on behalf of the emperor and empress. It was nothing more than some clichés about "being courteous, cautious, gentle and virtuous". Originally, this ceremony was for Lin Zhao to represent Lin Ruhai who was far away in Shandong, and Jia Min to teach Daiyu.
Yes, it was just a temporary replacement of Dai Quan and Aunt Zhu, but it was actually better. Finally, Daiyu bowed to all the attendees and thanked them, and the hair-hair ceremony was completed.
After Sister Feng finished shouting "The ceremony is completed", Dai Quan stepped forward again and took out the bright yellow imperial edict from his sleeve: "Lin Zhao accepts the edict."
Lin Zhao's expression changed, he raised his head and glanced at Dai Quan, then bowed his hands and saluted, wondering in his heart: Could it be that my cheap parents are going to Beijing? So they want to rush the marriage?
As he expected, Emperor Xiaode's long edict had only two central thoughts: Shandong Governor Lin Ruhai has worked hard and made great achievements, so he was promoted to the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs and came to Beijing as soon as possible! Lin Zhao also made outstanding achievements and was named the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Guards of Jinyi Guards. He chose a good time.
On an auspicious day, I will get married to Mr.
Lin Zhao nodded and reached out to take the imperial edict.
It seems that the emperor wants to reuse the cheap man Lin Ruhai! So he hangs him up high! Keeping a false title but taking back real power is also the art of emperor balance!
But Lin Zhao didn't care!
Even if he doesn't have any official position, won't he still run rampant in the world?
After receiving the order, Dai Quan said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Lin and the princess. Your Majesty explained that Mr. Lin and the princess have worked hard today, so there is no need to go to the palace to express gratitude. Today's business is over, and our family and others will
Let’s go back to the palace to resume the order first.”
The housekeeper Lin Yang hurriedly followed Dai Quan, Grandma Zhu and others out, and handed over the red envelopes they had prepared. Dai Quan and Grandma Zhu accepted them with smiles without refusing.
Everyone hurriedly congratulated.
When the ceremony began, Tanchun was called back to his seat by Mrs. Wang. After the ceremony, he did not come in again. While Jia Mu, Lin Jue and Daiyu were talking, Tanchun tried to talk to Princess Beijing.
Unfortunately, the latter seemed a little out of sorts as his nervousness relaxed after the ceremony, and he left not long after. Yingchun was allowed to stay and help instead, and he could go back later. Tanchun suddenly felt boring.
Sister Feng and Bao Qin also stayed to help.
Tanchun returned to Jia's Mansion with Mrs. Wang. His expressionless expression became unbearable after entering Qiushuangzhai. He lay on the table and cried uncontrollably. The panicked servant tried to comfort and wipe away tears.
In the end, she said unfairly: "The same goes for the princess. Since you have kept the second grandma and the fourth girl, Miss Qin, why don't you keep the girl too? Besides, the second grandma, the fourth girl and the girl are usually serious relatives of the princess, so I can't say.
What, but even though Miss Qin is Miss Bao’s cousin, how can she be compared with the girl? How can I keep her but not the girl? Fortunately, the girl is still thinking about them all day long, so she has no sympathy.
.”
Tan Chun cried and shook his head: "I don't blame Sister Lin. I saw her wanting to speak several times, but my wife was here and the ancestor didn't say anything. How could she say anything? The second sister-in-law and the second sister just mentioned the third sister.
, they were interrupted by the wife, and they had no choice. The fourth sister also wanted to speak, but before she could say anything, the wife told me that she had gone home, so she did not dare to say anything. The wife said so.
How dare I stay?"
After hearing this, the servant couldn't help being startled: "Madam is like this, what can the girl do? Girl... Girl, don't blame me for talking too much. Only if you have a good relationship with the princess and find a way to go out with the princess more can you get to know more
My dear, it will be easier to talk about marriage in the future... in the future."
Tanchun cried: "How come I don't know this truth? But you have seen the situation now. My wife only said that the second brother has not married yet, and there is no reason to go beyond the brother to propose marriage to the sister. What can I do? Lin and I
Sisters usually get their hair extensions this year, but look at Sister Lin. Not only is she dependable for life, but she also got such a grand ceremony. What do I have? I don’t know where my future is, and I probably won’t even be able to get my hair extensions.
"I, I..." Tanchun cried so hard that he couldn't even speak anymore.
Tan Chun was so shrewd that he hid his affair with Lin Zhao from everyone, not even the official secretary.
When she came to Lin Mansion this time, she actually wanted to have more contact with Lin Zhao, even if she just said a word!
But he didn't take any time off, so much so that the two of them didn't even make eye contact!
What does the oppression and humiliation Mrs. Wang gave her count?
The waiter said sadly: "As long as someone in our house is concerned about my wife, there is no one who doesn't know about it. But I wasn't in a hurry earlier, but now I am in a hurry and I can't find what I want. I'm only burdened and miserable for the girl."
Tanchun wiped away her tears and said: "Now I just hope that the eldest sister in the palace will issue an order soon and fulfill my wife's wishes."
The servant said: "Yes, the second master is already sixteen years old. If we don't get married, it will be too late."
Tanchun said coldly: "It's too late even if we get married. If the second sister-in-law who doesn't know where she is had come in a few years earlier, she could have lived a good life for a few years. But now that she has come in, it's the end of the world. What can she get?
Okay? It's just to make my sister-in-law resentful."
Shi Shu asked curiously: "How come you have something to do with grandma again?"
Tanchun glanced at her and said, "With Second Grandma Bao, can my sister-in-law still manage the family?"
The servant immediately understood: "That's not true." Then he sighed: "So, I'm afraid there will be some trouble in our house these days."
