My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 20 Landscape (Part [-])
In a blink of an eye, it was late May.

The day before the eighth elder brother's big wedding, the Anjun Palace, as the wife, had a grand banquet for the guests.

The Dutong Mansion has long received a message from the An Jun Wang Mansion, which is addressed to Mrs. Uncle and the Jue Luo family.

The two sisters-in-law didn't like Guoluoluogege, but the one who posted the post was Anjun Wang Fujin, so he couldn't help but give him face.

Not only because of Shu Shu, but also because of Mrs. Guo Luoluo's face.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law are not only in-laws of Anjun Wangfu, but also in-laws of Guo Luoluo's family.

Mrs. Guo Luoluo had arrived long ago, with a broad smile on her face, and the addition of make-up also showed the family background. A village in Fangshan, a three-entry house in Chongwenmen, and a few antiques that can be passed down from family to family .

Only when she was alone with Jueluo, Mrs. Guo Luoluo complained in a low voice: "What can I do? The effort of the family is just icing on the cake... It may not be rare... But this is the emperor's favor, only looking at the prince's elder brother's favor." Face, you have to do your best."

Jue Luoshi nodded and listened, but did not agree.

No matter who planned this makeup addition, it was obviously selfish.

The dowry house is dead, and the location is ordinary, even if you are willing to rent it out, the rent is limited.

The land is Zhuangzi, that is, it is several hundred mu to the sky, and there are so-called "antiques and curiosities", which look decent, but they are really not as good as gold and silver.

You must know that Guo Luoluo's family is different from the Dutong Mansion, it is the head of the family, and the ancestral property inherits the big head, that is, Master Guo Luoluo is now only a hereditary fourth-rank leader, not high in rank, and does not reveal his wealth.

However, relying on Guo Luoluogege's aloofness, there is also a reason for the family to treat each other like this.

No matter what, the Anjun Palace was extremely beautiful this day.

In the royal family's Baylor Mansion, there are masters who come to support them, and they can add up to dozens of lifts just by adding makeup.

Not to mention other people, but Mrs. Uncle and Jue Luo, who were ordinary in-laws in the past, each added four pieces of jewelry and four pieces of Shu brocade.

Shu Shu is already ready to get married, and only waits for the wedding at the end of June.

However, she was still quite concerned about Guo Luoluogege's dowry, so she had to inquire with Jueluo Shi who came back, and the result was very surprising: "One hundred and twenty? Isn't that as heavy as Wufujin and Qifujin?"

Regarding the number of Prince Fujin’s dowry, everyone naturally refers to the previous few Prince Fujin’s.

The princess was chosen out of hundreds of thousands at the beginning, and the wedding was prepared for several years, and the first one was Dafujin.

In order to avoid the crown princess, Da Fujin chose one hundred and twenty-six dowry.

The second entry was the four Fujin who entered the palace on the eleventh and second. They were courteous to the sisters-in-law and left room for the Sanfujin who had not entered the door, so they chose [-] lifts.

The one who got married later was the Crown Princess, but she was the one who was canonized later. She first entered the palace as the Crown Prince Fujin, and did not suppress Da Fujin, which was also one hundred and twenty-six.

When Sanfujin entered the door, Dong E's family refused to show off, nor did they suppress Sifujin because of being his sister-in-law, which was also one hundred and twenty-two lifts.

When the fifth and seventh Fujin got married last year, the two families should have communicated with each other, and they were both [-].

Regardless of the size of the dowry, as long as the amount is raised, everyone will be humble and respectful.

When they arrived at Bafu Jin's place, even though there had been rumors that a hundred and twenty dowries were being prepared, Shu Shu thought that the palace would be more considerate.

"It's just a foolish person, blindly striving for strength, unable to distinguish between close and distant relatives... From now on, you can live with your face, don't have to bear it, and don't pay too much attention to it..."

Jue Luo sighed and said: "The Prince's Mansion in Anjun was just too beautiful earlier, and he couldn't stand the lonely days now. He wanted to use the eighth elder brother to advance, but he didn't want to think that the crown prince is still fine. Can the emperor tolerate them? Now It is really stupid to want to show the strength of the palace in such a big battle! Although they have many brothers, they are behind the ranks and have no real military achievements. , making the emperor jealous of this lineage, he should have lived his life with his head shrunk, and it would be over until the next emperor, but he refused to be honest... The good prince inherited and attacked the county king. It is the first time for Prince Rui's family and Prince Yu's family to be directly attacked by the princes of Gong..." The next few words lowered the volume.

"Ernie, there is no need to increase the dowry, it's still one hundred and fourteen..."

Shu Shu's previous dowry was also based on the other prince Fujin's dowry. The preliminary plan was [-] levies. At first, he thought that the eighth Fujin would be [-] levies.

Jue Luo thought for a while, then nodded: "That's fine, there's no need to fight here..."

*
The imperial palace, Qianxitou.

The dowry was carried into the palace at noon, and it had already been laid out, and there was a nanny who entered the palace first and a maid to guard it in the new house.

In the study, the eighth elder brother smiled wryly at the ninth elder brother: "It's all my fault. I heard the rumors a long time ago, and I mentioned it to King Anjun... Fifth brother is always generous and doesn't take it to heart. Seventh brother I'm afraid I'm annoyed..."

Seventh elder brother was born with a leg problem, so he was taboo in the palace in his early years, and he was not allowed to participate in the worship ceremony.

When he was young, he was sent to Prince Chun's Mansion to Prince Chun Fujin as his heir. At that time, he was only five or six years old. Knowing what adoption was, he would not eat or drink, and almost died of hunger strike.

Prince Pure Fujin was also afraid, so he comforted him personally and sent him back to the palace.

Later, all the princes studied and practiced martial arts in the Shangshufang, and the seventh elder brother formed a school of his own, but he also practiced both civil and martial arts. He refused to lag behind his brothers and overcame disabilities with perseverance. .

With this kind of stubbornness and perseverance, he won the respect and guilt of the emperor's father, led a western expedition, and even sealed Baylor, which can be regarded as erasing the previous adoption.

However, Seventh Elder Brother is not an ungrateful person. Seeing that the pure Prince Fujin has no other step-heirs, he has shown a lot of filial piety in these years. Except that he is not an heir by name, all other filial piety should be done.

The emperor raised these few brothers. Among them, Prince Chunjing was not only the younger brother, but also died of illness when he was a weak crown. The widowed Prince Fujin was no one else.

Seventh elder brother did not go to the popular Prince Yu and Prince Gong's mansions, but took the initiative to get close to the neglected Prince Chun's mansion. Whether it was deliberately done or because of the early relationship, it was right for the emperor. decent.

If the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother are next to each other, only half a year apart in age, they were raised in Jingren Palace when they were young, and they entered the Shang's study in the same year, they should have the best relationship, but because they were divided into one It's the east, the west, and it's far away. It's better to get close to the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother.

If that's the case, good brother, offended for no reason, the eighth elder brother will inevitably feel uneasy.

Nine princes are glad in their hearts, showing off their make-up today, how beautiful is the dowry of the eight Fujin?
As expected of Prince An's Mansion, there are only a dozen marriages, more than [-] liters of antiques and treasures, and [-] taels of silver in the box, which is enough for a lifetime of chewing.

The other Fujins are so far apart that they are not comparable, but the comparison between the five Fujin and the Seventh Fujin who married into the palace last year is the real comparison.

Seventh elder brother has always been majestic in the palace, and Qi Fujin's natal family is also well-off. Even though there are a few dowry missing, there is nothing to talk about in other dowries; some.

"These are all real numbers, and the boxes are full, unlike Wu Fujin, they are all half-empty boxes, and the silver in the box is only three thousand taels."

"He also has the old surname of his family, and he gave birth to the prince Fujin, why is he so disrespectful?"

"However, a middle-class family can't be regarded as an old honor. The viscount passed down from the ancestors is also in the hands of the direct branch. The next branch of his house can be a governor..."

Every bit of it reached Brother Jiu's ears, and Brother Jiu was also annoyed.

That is to say, the fifth elder brother is open-minded and generous, otherwise he would have to add another one if he felt vengeful.

If this embarrassment is caused by his own younger brother, how can fifth elder brother deal with himself?
Brother Jiu also understood Shu Shu's previous point that Bafujin's dowry would not be lacking, and he was almost self-indulgent before.

On the contrary, Wufujin, no matter in terms of family background or dowry, is the simplest among the princely Fujins, and the masters of the upper levels will not be picky because of this, but those guys in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all snobbish, and I am afraid that they will not be less lazy .

The Wufujin who entered the door last year were all talked about by the shabby dowry of the Bafujin, but what about the Dong E family who will enter next month?

Do you really want to be underestimated by the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and talk about being inferior to the Eight Fortunes for the dowry?

Ninth elder brother was concerned, but he was confused, and he couldn't sit still.

The eighth elder brother is exquisite and sweet-hearted, seeing it in his eyes, he naturally thinks of the dowry of Dong E's family, but it is difficult to say anything.

Don't look at the excitement outside, many people compare the dowry of the two princes Fujin in private, but Dong E's family is not ostentatious, Qi Xi has always been cautious, how could there be such a mistake?
He lifted the jug and filled it up for Brother Jiu: "I didn't show my cowardice today, thanks to Brother Jiu's help... This year has been a lot of money, and the An family's money hasn't come down yet. If it wasn't for Brother Jiu's money, I'm afraid it would be really hard for me." I'm going to the household department...but don't say anything with the gift, there is no such a heavy gift...the right is a loan, and when the An family's money comes down, I will make it up for you..."

Ninth brother waved his hand, not paying attention: "It's not someone else, why is eighth brother heretic? There are so many brothers, and they are different from each other, so they have to be close to each other... That's all, I don't think so much, that is, my younger brother The money is tight and the money is not rich, otherwise, what is the value of doubling it? The fifth brother has the empress dowager to subsidize it, and the tenth brother has the private house left by the imperial concubine. Which one? It's the fifth brother who is picky, and I say the same... other brothers, it's not their turn to be picky..."

In March, the princes were entrusted with each other, and the elder brother and the third elder brother were directly assigned to lead the banner.

Although the two brothers are county princes, the divisible collar and coat are the same as the two uncle princes in the [-]th year of Kangxi.

The remaining fourth elder brother, fifth elder brother, seventh elder brother, and eighth elder brother are all Lord Belle. Even if the Zuo Ling is halved, there are still six bulls.

At that time, these are the eighth prince's disciples, and they will have their own worship and filial piety.

The most embarrassing thing for Eighth Brother, the newly released Lord Belle, is really the few months before leaving the palace.

Ninth elder brother's gift money is very urgent.

It's just that the eighth elder brother has a delicate mind, and he is afraid that the ninth elder brother will be criticized by others because of the gift money, so he warns the people around him to cover up the matter.

I didn't expect Brother Nine to be so sincere. If he thought of some thoughtful ways, he would be sorry for the brotherhood.

The eighth elder brother's eyes were red, but his heart was at ease.
