Chapter 41
He Shen rushed into the palace.
Qianlong saw him.
He couldn't help but tease him, "What are you doing here again?
You didn't say anything when you saw the court.
Are you in a hurry to go to Lianhuai? "
He Shen shook his head.
He said honestly, "If it weren't for the Emperor, I wouldn't want to go there."
Qianlong smiled and threw the imperial brush at him. He asked He Shen to pick it up.
Qianlong asked him seriously, "Tell me, what's the matter?
Look at how happy you are. "
"I'm here to ask the Emperor to grant me a marriage."
"You've agreed so quickly?"
"Yes.
Since Miss Lin has nodded, everything can be discussed. "
Qianlong paused.
He asked him again, "Have you really thought it through?
If you ask for a marriage from me today, you won't have the chance to regret it in the future. "
"There will be no changes." He Shen bowed.
Qianlong smiled, "Alright, as you wish."
Qianlong picked up the brush.
He asked someone to make the preparations and said, "Bring me your birth characters. Zhen will personally write a marriage contract for you.
How about it? "
"That's the best." He Shen said bluntly.
"If that's the case.
Then we'll have to choose the nannies we send to her. "
Qianlong paused, "Let Lin Ruhai stay in the capital for a few more days. He should wait for you to match your birth characters and bring the gift to the door.
Then we'll change the marriage contract … "
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Alright.
You just need to go back and wait.
You still have to go to court tomorrow. "
He Shen acknowledged and left.
Lin Ruhai cooperated and ordered someone to send Daiyu's birth characters.
He Shen received them.
They were sent to the palace.
Qianlong was also very attentive to his beloved subjects.
He summoned the Imperial Astronomer to match their birth characters.
Then, the results were sent to the two manors separately. At the same time, he used wild geese as a wedding gift.
This time, he could no longer hide it.
People from the Imperial Astronomer personally sent them to Rongguo Province. It was Jia Xie, Jia Zheng, and Lin Ruhai who went to pick them up.
Since Qianlong had taken this matter to heart, the Imperial Astronomer naturally should not neglect it.
Thus, the Imperial Astronomer concluded that they were a match made in heaven.
Lin Ruhai opened his palm and glanced at it. His heart settled.
However, he did not tell Daiyu about this.
But that night, he couldn't hide it from Mother Jia.
When Lady Jia heard this, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.
She was Daiyu's grandmother, but she didn't know anything about this matter. Lin Ruhai had already agreed.
Lady Jia called Lin Ruhai over.
"The assistant minister's residence still hasn't sent a matchmaker. In the end, Yu 'er has lost face.
This kind of neglect really shouldn't have happened. "
Lin Ruhai also had some resentment towards Lady Jia. If she really loved Yu 'er, she shouldn't have deliberately planned to betroth Yu' er to Baoyu.
Now, she had the attitude of a grandmother, but it was probably more because she was unhappy that her wishful thinking had failed.
Lin Ruhai said lightly, "I wasn't very satisfied with this matter at first, but He Shen also told me that I should just leave this matter to him. He will definitely satisfy me. Thus, I let it go."
Lady Jia thought that Lin Ruhai was really dissatisfied, so she said, "This matter isn't very appropriate. In the past, Yu 'er always called him' uncle '. After all, he is an elder. If word gets out, I'm afraid it won't be good."
Of course, everyone knew that if one really wanted to marry someone and marry someone, then it wouldn't be a big deal.
Lin Ruhai saw through Lady Jia's thoughts. He originally wanted to say that this matter was a "match made in heaven" that was bestowed by the Emperor and approved by the Imperial Astronomer. Who would dare gossip about it?
But when the words reached his mouth, he suddenly didn't want to say it.
On the day of the bestowment of marriage, Lady Jia would naturally know and naturally give up.
At this time, a servant girl came in and said, "Son-in-law Lin, Second Master has asked for you."
Lady Jia didn't want to brush away her son's face, so she swallowed her words and said, "Go."
Lin Ruhai happily left.
He and Lady Jia sat for a while longer, feeling their hearts ache for their daughter.
When he returned to Jia Zheng's courtyard, Lin Ruhai stepped through the door and saw that Lady Wang was also there. Other than her, there was also a woman dressed luxuriously.
It was different from the last time Lin An Bo's family came to talk about marriage.
Last time, Lin An Bo's family had asked for an imperial edict. Although it was already impressive, it was still an imperial edict from a Han official's family.
But today, it was a woman from the Niotuolu family.
The Niotuolu family was one of the eight major surnames of the Manchu.
Empress Xiaoshengxian was from the Niotuolu family.
In the capital, the Manchu officials had a much higher status than the Han officials.
The matchmaker who came to talk about marriage was from the Niotuolu family, so it was natural that others would have a higher opinion of him.
Lin Ruhai felt that He Shen's arrangements were very thorough.
Both sides had already discussed the matter beforehand, so the matchmaker was naturally just going through the motions.
The woman took out a small box and opened it in front of Lin Ruhai, smiling, "This is the gift I prepared for you."
Inside the box, there was a comb. It was made of pure gold and had an exquisite appearance. Even under the candlelight, one could see that it was shining brightly.
The meaning of the comb was "to grow old together".
The woman would usually return handkerchiefs, scented sachets, and the like.
Lin Ruhai sighed and called the servant beside him to pass on the message, "Ask the lady to bring the scented sachet."
The servant hurried off.
Yesterday, Daiyu sewed a scented sachet.
She wasn't very good at needlework, but it was passable.
Daiyu didn't know why her father asked her to prepare this item, so she casually embroidered some patterns on it.
When the servant came to get it, Daiyu couldn't help but ask, "What is this for?"
The servant smiled, "Does the lady still not know?
Today, the matchmaker came. "
Daiyu suddenly realized what was going on.
The three books and six rites.
This should be the ceremony.
Daiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Only now did she realize that the scented sachet she embroidered was a little too perfunctory.
If she knew this would happen, she would have paid more attention.
The servant didn't know what she was thinking and hurriedly put away the scented sachet. He even smiled at Daiyu, "Today, the Imperial Astronomer came and said that the assistant minister and the lady are a match made in heaven.
The wild goose for the hairpin ceremony was said to have been personally hunted by the emperor a few years ago and is being raised in the imperial garden. "
Zi Juan, Xue Yan, and the rest of the servant girls were all stunned.
The former was surprised and delighted by He Shen's precious gift.
The latter only now knew that Miss Lin was going to propose marriage, and that it was the Imperial Astronomer who had come to match their horoscopes. She immediately exclaimed in surprise and looked at Daiyu with reverence.
Daiyu naturally felt the importance he placed on her. Suppressing the heat on her face, she sent the attendant away.
After the servant left, she couldn't help but say to Zi Juan, "If I had known, I would have paid more attention."
Xue Yan smiled, "What's the problem?
As long as the lady is the one who sends it.
The assistant minister and the assistant minister will like it very much. "
Daiyu glared at her, then opened the box on the table.
The golden comb in the box was so beautiful that the servant girls were stunned.
Xue Yan said, "The assistant minister and the assistant minister have always treated the lady well."
Daiyu picked up the comb and sighed with emotion.
Will they grow old together?
After exchanging the tokens, the woman took her leave.
It was unknown how many people would be unable to sleep that night.
However, some people would be unable to sleep because of joy, while others would be unable to sleep because of worry.
The next day, Lin Ruhai received a message asking him to wait in the capital for two more days.
Lin Ruhai knew that He Shen must have contributed to this.
The emperor didn't give face to him, but to He Shen.
Lin Ruhai didn't show it on his face. Although he didn't say anything, he was very happy in his heart.
He Shen had considered everything thoroughly, which showed that he valued Daiyu. In the future, he wouldn't let Daiyu suffer.
After staying in Rongguo Province for a few more days, Lin Ruhai didn't feel troubled. Instead, he felt much more relaxed.
However, Mother Jia couldn't get out of bed today, so she was resting.
Lin Ruhai went to take a look, but pretended not to know anything and didn't say anything.
He didn't have the heart to worry about anything else.
He only hoped that Yu 'er would be well. Only then could he go back and live the rest of his life like this.
