The wedding was scheduled for May 28th, and the Lin family immediately became busy. The little princess and Lu Wu took charge, arranged for betrothal gifts and matchmakers, and started the lively arrangements. Bai Bing also temporarily left the Lin family and lived in the Dongcheng Grand Theater Qin Xiaoxiao
There, Xie Yingying's farewell performance was performed three times in a row, and the venues were full. People were very sorry to hear the news that Xie Yingying would no longer be on stage, but they were happy for her when they learned that she was going to marry into the Lin family. Now Qianqian is already for the audience
We accept it, and we don't have to worry about not having any good shows in the future.
A few days later, the Lin family's mansion was completely new. The wedding tent with red lanterns decorated the whole house with joy. The two adjacent houses on the west side of the back house became the new houses of the two newlyweds. The little princess ordered people to decorate the house according to the decorations in her own room.
The generous purchase of furniture, clothing, and servants reflects the magnanimity of a lady.
In the early morning of May 28th, two bride-to-be wedding teams came from Dongcheng and Zaoyuan to bring the newlyweds in. In the front hall of the Lin family mansion, the couple held red silk and worshiped heaven and earth. Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Xiaoxiao were sitting on the upper chairs.
Xie Danhong accepted the ceremony and offered tea on behalf of the elders of both parties. After worshiping heaven and earth, she sent the three newlyweds into the bridal chamber.
The people watching the excitement gathered around. The wedding of two people taking concubines at the same time was very strange. Lin Zhuangyuan was the protagonist of the bride-hunting list last year, and he did such a strange thing again this year. It was very exciting to watch.
Necessary. What the good people have been studying and discussing is whether Mr. Lin will enter the bridal chamber first tonight, or whether he will have three good friends in the same bed and enjoy the blessings of everyone.
Another reason for the people to gather here is that this time Lin Jue took his concubine and set up a flowing banquet. No matter who he was, as long as he came to congratulate him, he could sit down and drink. He was fed and fed, regardless of his status. Such a generous gesture
But this was unheard of. As soon as the news came out, many people went hungry all day long and waited to eat and drink to their heart's content.
The Lin family kept their promise and held a banquet in the afternoon. Sixty tables of flowing banquets were set up in the huge front yard to entertain the people who came to eat and drink. There were twenty tables in the second yard, which were for entertaining relatives and friends. The sixty
The banquet has been on the table since the afternoon, and people waiting to eat and drink lined up outside the house in a long queue, all the way to Bianhe Street. The Lin family hired eighty chefs and put them in the side yard.
Well, I was busy cooking and serving dishes until midnight.
According to statistics by someone who is interested, a total of 580 tables were served on the flowing mats in the courtyard of the outer house that day. As many as 6,000 or 7,000 people came to dine. These people only need to report their lives and say a few words.
Congratulations to Mr. Lin. He was let in by the servant in front of the Lin family. After eating, he also received a red envelope of one tael of silver. The banquet and red envelope alone cost tens of thousands.
Although Lin Jue doesn't have many friends in the capital and doesn't have many contacts. Bai Bing and Xie Yingying don't even have their parents' families, but the number of congratulators and the excitement of this wedding are enough to surpass any other wedding. Even
The wedding between the young princess and Lin Jue was not so grand.
Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian came to the capital with several young masters of the Lin family to congratulate the family master on his wedding. At first, they were a little bit shy about Lin Jue's arrogance, but when they learned that this was the private money spent by the little princess, they suddenly felt relieved.
Relieved and in awe.
It's rare to find such a virtuous lady who would take in a concubine for her husband and even use money from her private house to support her husband. This is simply hard to find in the world. I don't know what means Lin Jue used to make the back house so peaceful and harmonious. This is probably every man's dream.
It's something.
That day, Lin Jue was also very drunk. Ma Bin and Shen Tan escorted him from left to right, blocking a lot of wine, but Lin Jue was still almost drunk. After dark, the banquet dispersed, and Lin Jue was helped by someone.
While walking towards the back house, Xiaohu suddenly ran over and handed Lin Jue a brocade box.
"What is this?" Lin Jue said, smelling of alcohol.
"Uncle, this is a gift from Miss Huanqiu," Lin Hu said.
"Ah? Huanqiu is here? Where is she? Where is she?" Lin Jue looked around hurriedly.
"She left early. She came to give her gifts and then left. I invited her to stay for a drink, but she said she couldn't stay long. Fang Dunru didn't allow her to go out. She still ran out secretly." Lin Hu smacked his lips.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Lin Jue frowned.
Lin Hu said aggrievedly: "Miss Huanqiu said not to disturb you, and I would give it to you after the wedding. At that time, you were drinking with guests, and I didn't dare to disturb you."
Lin felt speechless. He walked aside and opened the brocade box under the lantern. Inside were two pairs of mandarin duck sachets and a note. There were several lines written on the note: I heard that you were newly married, so I didn't consider it a courtesy, so I rushed to embroider the mandarin duck scent.
Two pairs of sachets. I hope that senior brother will not find it vulgar and ordinary, so I will accept them and give them to the two newlyweds. I wish you a long life together. The sachets and sachets show my sincerity.
Lin Jue was in a daze, looking at the sachet over and over. It was just a pair of ordinary sachets. There were only spices and other things inside, and there were no other fancy things. It was just an ordinary gift. The words on the note were also quite satisfactory.
Any meaning of sadness or joy. But the last sentence is confusing.
Sachet, sachet, express my sincerity. What does that mean?
After the conflict with Fang Dunru that day, Lin Jue went to visit Fang's family. Unexpectedly, the small courtyard of Fang's family was already guarded by government officials. When he saw Lin Jue, he immediately blocked him from entering. Lin Jue knew that this must be Fang Dunru's doing.
It was difficult to meet Fang Huanqiu. Lin Jue couldn't force his way in, so he had to go back and think about finding a chance to meet Fang Huanqiu. He was very busy during this period, so he didn't go again. Let Lin Hu
After two visits, Lin Hu said that he could not even enter the alley entrance.
This time, Lin Jue did not inform the concubine to avoid embarrassment. Unexpectedly, she got the news and gave him a gift.
But she didn't know how Huanqiu was feeling now. Would she blame herself? Was she sad because of her complete break with Fang Dunru? Lin Jue didn't know.
Holding the sachet in hand, Lin Jue felt sorry for Huanqiu, but was helpless. He was a married man, and his relationship with Fang Dunru had already broken off, so he had no excuse to go to Fang's house. It would be a sin to force the relationship. But
This is not a long-term solution, and we have to find a way to solve this problem.
Lin Jue put the sachet back into the box and walked to the back house. Suddenly, an idea flashed in Lin Jue's mind, and he understood the meaning of Fang Huanqiu's last two sentences. Isn't the sachet a sachet?
Lang'? This was the reason why she gave the sachet. It was to tell herself that she was thinking of him. Huanqiu was a reserved person. When she got married, she would not say much, so she made a riddle for herself to guess.
.She is saying that she has been thinking about herself, and this thought is still there, and she has the wrong intention in her heart.
After understanding this, Lin Jue couldn't help but feel crazy. He stood in the corridor for a long time, until Xipo came to invite him, then he turned around, sighed deeply, and walked away.
…
After a happy wedding, Lin Jue took three days off to accompany his wife and concubines at home. During this period, Lu Wu asked Lin Jue to go to Hangzhou to relax. It happened that Lin Boyong and others were also going back to Hangzhou, so they happened to be on the boat. Lin Jue agreed to her.
Lu Wu's mood was always uneasy, and Lin Jue knew that a change of environment might be a good thing for her. It was June, and the city of Hangzhou was blooming with flowers. Returning to the place where she grew up was deeply traumatizing to her.
beneficial.
In the early morning of the first day of June, Lin Jue bid farewell to Lu Wu at the Bianhe Pier. Before departure, Lu Wu was reluctant to leave and burst into tears, which made Lin Jue feel uncomfortable. There was always a feeling of separation between life and death, which made Lin Jue feel quite uncertain.
Lin Jue's three-day vacation ended in a blink of an eye. Lin Jue originally thought that if there was not much to do in the public house, he could take two more days off to be lazy. But in the evening of the first day after the vacation, Yang Xiu suddenly came to visit.
, bringing Lin Jue’s vacation to an abrupt end.
"Brother Lin, I'm really sorry. I know you are newly married and I shouldn't bother you. But this matter must be reported to you. I don't know how to deal with it." In the front hall of the Lin family, Yang Xiu said very apologetically.
.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Brother Yang, what are you talking about? You have been working the hardest during this period. I am not determined. Most of the things in the yamen are taken care of by you and Mr. Yu. I feel ashamed to say it. What's the matter? But
Just say it.”
"Brother Lin is too polite. This is what I should do. That's right. Brother Lin, do you still remember the case last time? The case in Changheng County under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture where parents stoned their own daughter to death."
Lin Jue was stunned and said: "What? The facts of the case are clear, haven't we already figured it out?"
Yang Xiu frowned and said: "The facts of the case are clear. The murderer is indeed the biological parent of the murdered person. All the facts are there. The purpose of the Changheng County Magistrate reporting the case was to ask us to arrest him. No, I ordered him the day before yesterday
Lao Wu took several government officials and rushed to Changheng County to arrest the murderer, but I just got the news that Lao Wu and the others were actually detained by some unknown local people."
"What? Detained? What's going on, so bold?" Lin Jue said in shock.
"Isn't it? It's simply unbelievable. As soon as our people entered the Mojiaji and revealed their identities, the other party began to beat gongs and call for people. At that time, hundreds of people came from the nearby villages, and there were only seven or eight of us. How could we escape?
It was taken." Yang Xiu smacked his lips.
"How did you know the news?" Lin Jue said in shock.
"It's a coincidence that one of our people was lucky. Before he went into the market town to pick up someone, he pooped in the field behind. When he saw something was wrong, he ran back to report the news. If he hadn't escaped back, I'm afraid we wouldn't be here now.
I don’t even know what’s going on.” Yang Xiudao.
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Has this matter been reported to the police?"
"How dare I report it without your permission. Everyone in the public room is in a quarrel. Mr. Yu said that he should report to Mr. Zhu first and explain the situation. In case something happens and we cannot bear the responsibility, I will let Mr. Yu calm down.
Don't be impatient, I'll come quickly and ask you to decide this matter." Yang Xiudao.
Lin Jue nodded and pondered for a moment and said: "It's better not to report it for now. Once reported, the matter will be classified as a mob rebellion. Troops and horses will be used to suppress and arrest, and many people may die. Kaifeng Prefecture is responsible for public security.
We also have responsibilities, and we are also to blame for vicious incidents. How could the common people do this? Isn't this a blatant confrontation with the government? Generally speaking, common people will not do this. Is there some misunderstanding in this?
I think we should find out more before making a decision. If there is a misunderstanding, the people will suffer as soon as the officers and soldiers arrive. And now that Lao Wu and the others are in the hands of others, they can't do it by force."
"What Brother Lin said is absolutely true, what should Brother Lin say?" Yang Xiu nodded.
