My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 10 The First Ceremony

Three days later, Brother Nine was still a big fool, and took over a shop and two Zhuangzi that Shu Shuxin bought at [-]% more than the original price.

Why are shops in the inner city so scarce?
It is simply priceless.

Even if there is a family in the Eight Banners who has fallen, the property is rarely sold outside, and most of them are taken over by the same clan or in-laws.

Not to mention the land in the suburbs of Beijing. With the population growth, the land outside Beijing has increased several times from the two or three taels of silver in the Shunzhi period. .

Brother Nine doesn't allow Gui Dan to continue to use his own brand, so don't expect to be able to build a desirable property in a short period of time.

However, Brother Nine had limited money on hand, so he took five thousand taels of bank notes as a deposit, and later collected the remaining five thousand four hundred and eighty-eight taels before transferring the account.

The two still met at the Shun'an Bank Building. Shu Shu looked at the [-] taels of banknotes in his hand, and was satisfied: "Don't worry about the rest, I'll keep them for Master Jiu anyway..."

Brother Nine returned to the appearance of a little rooster, proudly saying, "Hmph! My hands are only tight for a while, and I'll make it up for you in two days!"

Shu Shu nodded, her tone was very sincere: "Master Jiu is the prince's elder brother, so naturally there is no shortage of these coins..."

Brother Jiu felt that there were only blue veins emerging from his temples.

lack!
The bald elder brother, the monthly allowance is fifty taels of silver, which is only six hundred taels a year, but the dozens of people that elder brother serves need to be rewarded, how many can be left in a year?

Fortunately, there are birthdays and new year's festivals, the elders have rewards, and the in-laws have filial piety, so I barely saved more than ten thousand taels.

In the previous Qianjinfang, a shop bought for [-] taels of silver, there were more than [-] taels of gold and silver jewelry in the warehouse on the cabinet. This was half of the private house, and Dong E's took it all.

This time, Dong E's family took advantage of the property purchase again!What a money rake!

Dong E, you wait!

What a fart!Don't think that Grandpa didn't see that you were holding back your smile?
Waiting for the day when you fall into the hands of Grandpa!

Brother Jiu came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Shu Shu has always been generous, and directly counted out four hundred and forty taels of silver bills, and handed them to Fu Song: "Two one plus five..."

The idea of ​​buying this piece was Shu Shuti's idea, but for more than half a month, it was Fusong who led people to follow him, inquired about the news inside and outside, and worked hard with the seller.

Fu Song accepted it with a smile, and only took out forty taels of banknotes and put them in his purse, and handed the rest back, "I'll take this, sister Datou will keep it for me, and the members of Qianjinfang will forget it..."

But Shu Shu shook her head: "One yard is one yard, this business always needs to be watched... [-]% is not a lot, so don't be verbose... Just wait for your birthday to separate the households, and save the money first. It’s quite a lot, and when the time comes, I will use the money to buy a few shops in the outer city to collect rent..."

It is true that Fusong’s great-grandfather, Ai Duli, was rebellious, not only the exiled clan, but after the death of Emperor Taizong, the princes of the Eight Banners swore to support the prince’s ascension to the throne, and when the two uncles Jierhalang and Dorgon assisted the government, they refused to take the oath. As a result, Dorgon execute.

In fact, Aduli was not opposed to the succession of the prince, but rather dissatisfied with his uncle Jierhalang's assistant government, because Jierhalang's cow record with the blue banner belonged to his father Amin Baylor.

Temporary anger not only hurts oneself, but also brings disaster to the descendants. Afterwards, with the grace of Lord Shunzhi, several concubines re-entered the clan. Only the descendants of Ai Duli were not pardoned.

Kangxi has been in power for decades, and he didn't think of giving this kind of grace, so he can only wait for the next emperor.

I presumably felt that Luo Shi had the same plan, so he was very strict with the homework of the young general Fu Song, and he was not told to slack off. He only let go of his homework after two years of work.

Who would have thought that Kangxi's standby time would be so long?There are still twenty years.

But Shu Shu knew it well, and wanted to help Fu Song establish a family business, marry a proper wife, and then become an official when the Yongzheng Dynasty was able to become an official, and if not, cultivate the next generation.

Fosong grinned.

Where is the lack of money?
His uncle and aunt treat him like a son, and they have never been tighter than him in terms of money, so in the eyes of his sister, he always treats him as a little pitiful.

Anjun Prince's Mansion, the inner house spans the courtyard to the west.

Girls dressed in red flags are sixteen or seventeen years old, often with double buns with gold-studded ruby ​​flowers on one side, hollowed-out gold butterflies on the other side, pearl earrings on ears, and gold bracelets inlaid on wrists looming. It is the woman who once said that the Dong E family was rampant in front of the gate of Bingma Siya in Beicheng, the granddaughter of the royal family, and the future Eight Fortune Jin Guoluo Luogege.

To be honest, her Guo Luoluo clan has nothing to do with Guidan's Guo Luoluo clan. One is the Zhenglan Banner, and the other is the Imperial Household Bureau's coat and carried it into the Xianghuang Banner. The same ancestor, but the same surname after all, he didn't want to be underestimated, so he said a few more words.

Right now, she raised her chin, her face full of displeasure: "What about 'five ministers' and 'eight great families'? What a big name, is it more noble than the blood of the clan?"

The nanny next to her is in her forties, and she cleans up decently. There is a faint golden flat square on her pan head, which is no worse than the mistress of ordinary people. Guo Luoluo's family is also an old Xun, so Dong Egege's natal family is just a resigned clan, how can it be compared to Gege, his natal family is a palace... his maternal grandmother is still a foreign vassal Gege..."

Guo Luoluo Gege was still dismayed: "Why did you point to Fujin this year? The day after tomorrow is the first appointment ceremony. Looking at the posture, I am afraid that the big wedding will also be this year... What a disappointment! The tenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother are the same age, this time I just pointed at Gege..."

The nanny couldn't help smiling wryly, her family has always been competitive, but what is there to compare it to?

The eighth elder brother has been working for a long time, and he was banned from Dorobel last month, and the ninth elder brother is just a bald elder brother.

The day of my family's big wedding is set for next month, and the dowry is the most important thing in front of me.

Rich marriages are common in the capital, and the birth of the prince Fujin is the joy of the whole family. The dowry is all supported by the family, but who told Ge Ge to raise him in the palace, not close to the family, so the dowry can only be prepared by the palace.

The prince has always loved this niece, but Tai Fujin is in charge of the palace, not Gege's grandmother, so we must prevent Tai Fujin from being fooled.Pianshengtai side Fujin blindly eats fast and recites Buddha, entrusts all the princesses to the hands of the county prince and his wife, and ignores everything.

The nanny carefully said: "Gege, do you have something to say about the dowry?"

Guo Luo Luo Gege took a bit of pride: "Since the emperor ordered the marriage in the [-]st year, my uncle sent people to the south of the Yangtze River to buy the dowry, and brought back two boats of things, not to mention one hundred and twenty, two hundred. Twenty lifts is enough, I don't believe that Dong E's family can scrape together any decent things in a few months! When the time comes to compare, whoever has no face will know..."

*
In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of April, Shu Shu and Brother Jiu's initial engagement ceremony.

The prince's elder brother and Fujin's initial ceremony has long been a precedent, and it is all handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in accordance with the regulations, and there are pastry banquets and imperial wine bestowed by the superior.

The ninth elder brother was wearing the azure-colored dragon coat exclusive to the prince, with four groups of five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on the front, one on each shoulder, one on the front, and the other on the front, with five-color clouds in between. Come to meet Fujin's parents.

Qi Xi was also in auspicious clothes, and surrounded by his relatives, he welcomed the prince to descend outside the gate.

Brother Jiu got off his horse and was surrounded by Dong E's house.

When they arrived at the main hall, Brother Nine paid homage to Qi Xi, the father-in-law, and Qi Xi paid three prostrations back, which was considered as a complete obeisance.

The ministers, guards, and officials of the Zhenghong Banner branch of Dong E's family all attended the ceremony of the prince and Fujin's initial appointment. The banner owner, Prince Kang, could not come in person because of his filial piety, but he also sent Chang Shi to help.

It’s just that it’s not far from the eighth elder brother’s initial appointment ceremony, so it’s rare for someone to compare it. Compared with the initial appointment ceremony of the Prince’s Mansion in Un’an County, it was full of princes and nobles, but it was not deserted. The wealth and prosperity of the family.

In fact, Qi Xi has reduced the number of people at the engagement banquet, and it's only people from the nearby tribes of this banner. If the in-laws and other tribesmen from the two banners are included, the number of people at the banquet will be doubled.

In order to support her daughter, Qi Xi naturally wanted to do it in a lively place, but she was dissuaded by Shu Shu when making reservations for the guests. Taking advantage of the filial piety in Prince Kang's mansion, this branch of in-laws did not invite them, otherwise they would become the prince's family. The bridge is unpredictable.Since Qi Xi is the capital of the Eight Banners and a loyal subject of the emperor, he is more suitable for "cautious independence".

Looking at the top of the hall, the highest ones are Chaopin Guogong and Chaopin Bo, and the lowest one is the fifth-rank bodyguard. There are more than [-] relatives in this clan. Brother Jiu is not happy. Do yourself a favor?
Show the confidence of the Dong E clan?

Looking at Dong E's younger brother, there are five brothers-in-law in a row, and the sick brother-in-law and brother-in-law Fusong are standing in front of them.

After a closer look, Brother Nine couldn't help slandering that Dong E's family was really Qi Xi's own, not foster care?

Why do I have a three-point resemblance to my younger brothers, but a seven-eighth resemblance to Fu Song.

But Brother Jiu just thought about it, the Eight Banners' household registration is the most careful, and the birth, adoption, and adoption are all clearly marked, not to mention that Fu Song is of the blood of the clan, and it is even more impossible to pass on his surname.

He was in a very complicated mood. Once the preliminary engagement ceremony was over, he was about to prepare for the big wedding, and he really wanted to be husband and wife with Dong E's!

It makes people irritated, but there is a faint expectation. Is it to teach Dong Eshi a better lesson?Brother Jiu couldn't tell either.

Brother Jiu was so out of his mind and didn't look happy, it fell into the eyes of everyone in Dong E's family, and many people were ashamed.

Qi Xi originally had a smiling face, but now his smile is much darker; Zhu Liang, Shu Shu's eldest brother, took the initiative to "hand in hand" with Brother Jiu, but his strength was a bit useless.

The fifth elder brother and eighth elder brother who accompanied him sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and they all found out that ninth elder brother was rude, so they had to warn each other quietly.

"Don't be so dark, today you can't compare with Lao Ba's engagement ceremony, that's the face of several lifetimes in Prince An's house... Dong E's family knows the rules and behaves properly, so it's safe..." This is the fifth elder brother's earnest order .

"After all, we should be cautious about going to Mr. Peng Chun's side. That's the mansion of the Duke of the State, the head of the direct branch. It's not too lively here..." The eighth elder brother also advised carefully.

Brother Jiu was full of impatience, but he knew that the two brothers had good intentions, so they both nodded and listened.

At this time, when it came time to follow his brother-in-law to worship his mother-in-law at the banquet in the inner courtyard, Brother Jiu was faintly curious.

I don't know what Dong E's is like at home?Is it always unruly, or is it coquettish?I can't believe that she has such awesome and stinky virtues in front of her parents!
