My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 37 Marriage
"Yes, it is included together with the first edition of "Great Qing Law"..."

Baitanga thought for a while and replied.

Brother Jiu nodded, didn't say anything more, and left with Shu Shu and the others.

Back at the second school, the young couple went to the study.

Brother Jiu didn't want to make it difficult for Shushu, but picked out a volume of "The Law of the Qing Dynasty", sat on the edge of the kang, and read it seriously.

Shu Shu poked her head to take a look, just as she expected, Brother Jiu read "Hulu Market" first.

The handling of various disputes related to buying and selling transactions is in this volume.

Really strong!
Is this still the original lawsuit?

Shu Shu smiled, did not interrupt, and also picked up a copy of "Great Qing Law" to read, but it was "Hu Lv Marriage".

You can appreciate the complexity of marriage just by looking at the catalog.

In addition to the basic "marriage of men and women" regulations, there are "lawful employment of wives and daughters", "disorder of wives and concubines", "expelling sons-in-law to marry daughters", "marriage at funerals", "marriage with parents in prison", "marriage with the same surname", "respect Marriage from inferiority", "marry relatives and concubines", "marry women from tribesmen as wives and concubines", "marry runaway women", "forcefully occupy wives and daughters from good families", "marry happy people as wives and concubines", "monk and Daoist wives", "good and humble There are sixteen items such as "marriage", "giving up a wife", "marrying against the law and acting as a matchmaker".

Shu Shu looked at it, but couldn't help but miss the future generations.

Everyone is equal before the law, which is not empty talk.

For ordinary people, law-abiding is also the best amulet.

As for the current "Great Qing Law", it is a bondage to the common people, and it is a piece of waste paper to the real dignitaries.

Only when those in power eliminate dissidents, or when political opponents of similar power attack each other, can the law be used as a weapon to bring criminals to justice.

Brother Nine came over at some point, saw the scroll in Shu Shu's hand clearly, and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing studying this? Are you thinking about how to suppress the master?"

Shu Shu rolled his eyes at him: "If you want to overwhelm the master, you need to study this..."

Brother Jiu's face turned red and white, turned red again, and quickly looked towards the door. Seeing that there was no one around, he yelled in a low voice: "Don't hold back your mouth, dare to say anything..."

What is said cannot be swallowed back, and it can also be practiced.

As for the result?
Naturally, some people are satisfied and some people protest.

Brother Jiu is a big man, how can he admit that he is not as strong as his wife?
It dawned early in summer, but Yinchu was still pitch black.

It can only be said that it was not easy for the princes in the Qing Dynasty, and it was even more difficult for the little princes who studied. To get to the Shang study in Yinzheng, you need to study in the morning.

The clothes had been prepared long ago, Shu Shu looked like a good wife, and helped Brother Jiu to dress.

Brother Jiu gritted his teeth, and couldn't help lowering his head and biting her face lightly: "Don't be complacent... I haven't rested for the past few days, so I slack off... It's a good deal for you... Try again later. , I will never let you..."

Shu Shu nodded obediently.

OK, you're right, you're right.

Brother Nine was about to be laughed out of anger.

This Dong E family behaved well in front of others, but he was like two different people in back, which was too presumptuous.

The Shang study will stay for a day, from Yinzheng to Xuchu, so two meals a day are there.

Shu Shu asked very virtuously: "What does Master Breakfast want to use?"

Brother Jiu snorted coldly: "Buns! Meat buns! Pure meat!"

Shu Shu nodded and wrote it down.

She is so well-behaved, it's not good for Brother Jiu to keep a cold face, with a few quarrels: "You also eat more, don't think about reducing your appetite now... Otherwise, if you lose weight, you will see your father-in-law and mother-in-law in a few days. They worry about..."

Shu Shu responded with a smile, estimated the time, and personally sent Brother Jiu to the front yard.

Elder Brother Shi brought a little eunuch and was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Shu Shu coming out, Elder Brother Shi was not surprised, and his face was a little more polite: "Sister-in-law Jiu..."

Shu Shu nodded as a salute, didn't say much, watched the little brothers go out along the corridor, and then turned back.

Xiaochun was beside her, and she couldn't help being surprised: "Why didn't Fujin ask Master Shi what he wanted to eat? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to arrange according to Master Shi's wishes?"

Shu Shu shook her head: "If you want to ask, you can ask yourself, I don't need to do it for you..."

There is a saying that "the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother", but Shu Shu is not "the elder sister-in-law".

Because the Manchus had the custom of accepting marriages outside the customs in the early years, it was very taboo for sister-in-laws to get close to younger uncles.

When it came out that Lord Shunzhi was doting on Concubine Dong E alone, the uncle and his sister-in-law also had more taboos.

Especially between uncles and sisters-in-law who are similar in age, it is easy to have disputes, Shu Shu naturally will not let herself be left behind.

The inner house of Dong E's house is simple, and Xiao Chun's knowledge is limited, and she is a girl, so naturally she can't think of these things, but she just asked a question and left it aside.

Before dawn, Shu Shu ordered Xiaotang to say: "Steam two baskets of pure meat buns, put only chopped green onion, don't put shredded ginger, two baskets of assorted buns with vegetarian stuffing... Steam three servings of glutinous rice chicken, steam two servings of yellow rice and red bean cake. Serving... two side dishes, two meat and two vegetables, plus a meat soup and a vegetarian porridge..."

Xiaotang made a note and went to the dining room to send a message.

Shu Shu returned to the study and continued to read "Hulu Marriage" that she had read yesterday.

Today, June [-]th, is the day when Shu Shu will go to Yikun Palace to pay her respects.

Wu Fujin had mentioned before that the time for concubines to pay their respects to Ningshou Palace was Chenzheng. As daughter-in-laws, they should arrive at Yikun Palace no later than the first quarter of Chenchu, otherwise the time would be tight.

It doesn't have to be too early, or it will disturb Yifei's breakfast.

When the clock struck six o'clock, Xiaotang brought people over to set the dining table.

Four-color breakfast, served with four side dishes, one porridge and one soup.

Shu Shu's own dishes were served by the nurse on the stove, and the food was very delicious.

When she put down her chopsticks and rinsed her mouth, Xiao Chun asked, "Fu Jin, who are you sending to deliver meals to elder brother..."

"Where are Sun Jin and Li Yin?"

Shu Shu asked.

"Waiting outside..."

Xiaochun replied.

Although brother Jiu said the day before yesterday that he would assign these two to Shu Shu, but Shu Shu is not used to ordering eunuchs around, so he didn't think of it yesterday, and he hasn't formally summoned the two of them.

"Call in..."

Soothed and slowed down.

Xiao Chun responded and went to the door to pass on the message.

Two young eunuchs in blue clothes were dressed similarly to He Yuzhu's and were about the same age, but they were in their twenties. They looked delicate, one of them had a baby face and a smiling face;

If it is ugly, it will not be able to be with the prince elder brother.

"I have seen the master, please greet the master!"

The two were also well-behaved, they came in with their heads down, and then knelt down in Shu Shu's direction, see Dali.

"Get up!"

As Shu Shu said, she signaled Xiao Chun to give her a reward.

This is a gift to recognize the master and servant, so it is natural to reward it again alone.

Xiaochun handed over the purse, and the two took it with both hands, saying respectfully, "Thank you, master..."

"What errands did you do with Grandpa?"

Shu Shu asked.

The baby-faced one was Sun Jin, who bowed back and said, "This servant runs errands on weekdays, takes people to the imperial dining room every day to get a certificate, or goes to the side to pass a message or something..."

Li Yin, who had a mole, said: "This servant served the pen and ink by the master's side earlier, and these two years have obeyed the master's arrangement, and followed Cui's side to obey..."

After hearing this, Shu Shu knew that these two people were really not ordinary little eunuchs without weight.

One is responsible for the foreign affairs of the second institute, and the other is a candidate for the future internal director.

To be honest, the weight of the two of them is no less than that of He Yuzhu next to Brother Jiu.

Shu Shu couldn't help but smiled: "I don't need to keep anyone in the main house, so I will tell you if there is anything... From now on, your errands will be as usual... It's Sun Jin's place, work harder in the future, and start to take care of two people today." Personally go to Shangshufang to deliver meals... breakfast will be delivered before dawn, and dinner will be delivered before noon..."

Speaking of this, she felt that something was wrong, the afternoon was too long, so she said: "Pick up an extra snack box when delivering dinner, so that I won't be hungry in the afternoon..."

Sun Jin respectfully agreed.

Shu Shu said to Li Yin again: "Director Cui, when he is on duty in the palace, he will add one meat and one vegetable to each meal, and you will serve him... He Yuzhu, you two will add a meat dish to each meal from now on..."

"Thank you, master, for your grace!"

Li Yin said, with hesitation on his face: "Master, I gave the slave to the master, so I brought Yao Zixiao to the study to serve the pen and ink..."

Shu Shu nodded: "Understood, then add him, add a meat dish, and make up for it from the master's share..."

When Sun Jin and Li Yin went down, it was about the same time, Shu Shu changed into a new brightly colored flag outfit.

The inner robe is a begonia red that is close to a deep pink, and the outer vest is a lighter pink. The braided hair is not only made of red agate flat square, but also has a ruby ​​​​flower on it. Wear it on your wrist, and the matching flag shoes are one-inch-high ship-bottom flag shoes made by Xiaochun.

Looking pink and tender, it is not as eye-catching as a full body red, but it also agrees with her identity as a delicate new wife.

After serving Shu Shu and putting on make-up, Xiao Yu couldn't take her eyes off, and praised sincerely: "Fu Jin must have had a good rest these two days, little face is flushed, as if she has put on rouge..."

Facing the mercury mirror, Shu Shu was also puzzled.

Those eyes are watery, with pink corners, is it really me?
This……

It is the legendary "collecting yang and nourishing yin"...

Some want to laugh.

What about embarrassing?
Although the newlyweds are justifiable, Ke Shushu doesn't want to be conspicuous.

An emperor, dozens of concubines, some are favored, and some are not.

There are many resentful wives, so it's better for her not to show off.

She took a powder puff, pressed the corners of her eyes to cover up the redness, took an eyebrow pencil, flattened her eyebrows and drew a picture, changed her lip balm to pomegranate red, and changed the focus of her face from eyebrows to nose and mouth place.

Shu Shu held a pocket watch, estimated the time, and waited at the gate of the Royal Garden early.

In addition to Xiaochun, the people who brought him today also included Walnut, a court lady from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Walnut is seventeen years old and has been working in the palace for four years. She was first assigned to Chuxiu Palace as a maid.

Because Chuxiu's concubine Xiao Hesheli died of illness the year before last, all the big maids under her name were lost. They were sent to Jingshan to serve as rough envoys, but the little maids were not implicated and were only sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Before Wu Fujin arrived, Shu Shu wentssiping with Walnut: "Is there anyone in your family working in the palace?"
