My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 474 Not quite right (second update)

The governor is from the second rank, and the chief soldier is the second rank.

Therefore, behind the lady-in-law, the second is the wife of the general soldier, and the third is the wife of the governor.

These two looked normal, they were about the same age as Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, forty or fifty years old.

When it was time for Fuli, there was a difference between the three of them.

The governor's wife performed the Eight Banners salute.

When the three were ordered to sit down, they saw that the first wife was reserved and shy, and the second wife was also nervous. Only the third wife of the governor was generous.

The queen mother looked at the last governor's wife and asked, "Which flag is it from?"

The governor's wife got up and said: "The servant's house is the white flag of the Han army..."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "It's the same flag as the Crown Princess."

The governor's wife said: "The servant's maiden name is Zhao, so it seems that she is an old relative with the crown princess's maiden's family..."

Shu Shu sat at the bottom of Wufu Jin, sounding a little confused.

Isn't the crown princess's family married for several generations?How come there are relatives with the surname Zhao?

Since the grandfather of the princess, she has been married to the clan.

The aunts and aunts of the Crown Princess also married into the clan.

Could it be the in-laws of some clan uncle or cousin, that relative is really far away?
After hearing this, the Queen Mother pointed to Shu Shu and said, "Then you and Jiufu Jin are also married..."

The governor's wife looked at Shu Shu, nodded and said: "Yes, the elder princess of our cousin's grandma's family has promised the eldest son of the Dutong family."

Shu Shu listened to the words, and she didn't seem to be too far away, so she nodded slightly.

The queen mother motioned for her to sit down, then looked at the princess and said, "Your accent sounds like you're from the capital, where is your natal family?"

The lady got up and said, "My wife's natal family is from Daxing."

The queen mother asked curiously: "Then why did you marry so far away? Who is the matchmaker?"

The lady-in-law said shyly: "The first wife of the mansion is the concubine's aunt. After the cousin passed away, the concubine's aunt was the matchmaker, and her husband was the stepmother."

The queen mother listened and nodded.

Regardless of Man and Han, this is common.

However, most of the original spouse's natal family intervenes in the son-in-law's successor candidates, and there are not many such step-sisters and natal families.

It should be the stepwife who left behind the young children.

After being curious, the queen mother put the matter aside.

She took the string of eastern beads and rewarded the lady-in-law, and asked someone to bring two boxes containing two strings of coral beads, and rewarded the two ladies respectively, and served tea.

Several orders went out.

Only then did Jiu Gege breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "Look at how nervous they are, and I'm getting nervous too."

The queen mother also picked the beads, handed them to Nanny Bai to keep them away, and said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing to follow people more, it's fun..."

Jiu Gege looked at Shu Shu, and said: "Which relative is the governor's wife from the Shi family? Isn't the Shi family's in-laws mostly in Zhenghongqi?"

Shu Shu thought for a while, and said: "If it's a side-in-law, you probably won't pay attention to Qingru's engagement with my younger brother. That's the serious in-law who is still in contact with me. If the surname is Zhao, the princess has a great-grandmother whose surname is Zhao, so it should be This is the..."

Jiugege said: "Is it my great-grandmother? Otherwise, after a few lifetimes, why are you still walking around?"

This is what Shu Shu doesn't know.

She looked at the queen mother and said, "Does the imperial grandmother know?"

The Queen Mother thought for a while, and said: "I don't remember the truth, but I remember that the great-grandfather of the Crown Princess was a founding hero and one of the best among the nobles of the Eight Banners. The three brothers all became high-ranking officials, and the sons and grandchildren were even more important. No, the emperor will choose the princess from their family..."

Shu Shu thought of one thing.

Kangxi is more paranoid about blood.

The nobility of the crown princess, besides being from the Guerjia family, also has the blood of the ancestral daughter.

If you go back further...

Shi Tingzhu, the great-grandfather of the Crown Princess, had three wives in total.

Among them, the first is the original wife, and the second and third are the marriages bestowed by Emperor Taizong.

The third is Mrs. Zhao, a relative of the governor.

The second is Tong Shi, who was born in the Han Army of Zhenglan Banner.

Before the Tong family raised the flag, they were in the Han army in the Zhenglan Banner.

It should be relatives.

That Mrs. Tong should be the great-grandmother of the Crown Princess.

However, because the princess's uncles, cousins, and several governors should have the children and grandchildren of Mrs. Zhao, otherwise the in-laws could not be maintained to the present.

After chatting and joking with the queen mother, the sisters-in-law came out, went back to the cabin and changed their clothes.

Shu Shu was a little bit downcast.

Compared with the prince Fujin in Mongolia, this minister's order is not only cautious, but most importantly, there is no filial piety.

It turns out that only the Queen Mother went out to reward them, and they didn't mean to present gifts.

Even the queen mother can't get anything, let alone them.

Tong family...

That was Kangxi's obsession, and only by praising the Tong family could offset his lack of background.

Tong Guowei's team has been suppressed for several years, and it is estimated that it will be supported again.

It is estimated that only when you go to the south of the Yangtze River and meet the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, can you show your filial piety.

Xiao Chun said from the side: "After paying respects to the Queen Mother, madams, do you want to pay respects to the two concubines?"

Shu Shu said: "Who knows..."

As she said this, she had a guess in her heart.

There is no master in the harem, and concubine Hui is the head of the imperial concubine, so it is reasonable to receive the imperial order.

Why did you become the empress dowager?
Except for Mrs. Yan Shenggong who is special, the remaining two are also ordered by local civil and military officials.

I don't know if Concubine Hui avoided suspicion, or Kangxi himself arranged it this way.

Shandong is too close to the capital, and the people who take office here are all the emperor's confidantes.

As Concubine Hui is the mother of the eldest son of the emperor, it would be safer to avoid it at this time.

Even if she avoids, Concubine Rong will be ranked last, and she will not be qualified to receive imperial orders, so I don't know if she will be depressed.

At this moment, Jiugege came, saw Shushu was crooked, sat in front of him, and said: "Going south all the way, many officials ordered to come to court, shall we all accompany?"

Apparently this one is also impatient to socialize, after sitting with him once, he is already bored.

Shu Shu thought for a while, and said: "Not everyone is qualified to hand over the sign to see you. There is only one time in each province, so there are only three or four times left..."

Every time it was less than half an hour, Renren passed.

Jiugege said: "It's really boring, it's different from what I thought at first."

If in the capital, Baqi ordered to enter the palace to pay respects to the queen mother, and when he brought juniors with him.

Jiu Gege has a few Xungui Gege who are in contact with each other, and that's how they got to know each other.

Shu Shu smiled and said: "It should be fine when we arrive in Jiangnan. If there are girls of the same age in the Li family and the Cao family, we should be able to meet them."

Jiugege laughed first, then shook his head and said, "Forget it!"

There are really girls who are similar to their age, and it's time for the draft.

At this time, being brought to the Empress Dowager by the elders, she came rushing to climb high branches.

Either for the emperor's harem, or for the princes' backyards.

Shu Shu thought of Li Xu and Cao Yin, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, both of whom had difficulties as heirs.

Li Xu's son, who was accompanied by the fifteenth elder brother, was actually the eldest son, younger than Kangxi's eldest grandson.

How old is Cao Yong over there?
It seems to be quite small.

Instead, he could meet the future Pingjun Wang Fujin.

Shu Shu misses the capital a little bit.

Compared with the prototype characters watching the Red Mansion, my Ninth Brother also sometimes hurts...

She didn't know that Brother Nine was also troubled this time.

Eighth Prince's grandpa handed him a letter before, and wanted to see him.

Ninth elder brother asked someone to deliver the letter to fourth elder brother.

Thinking that if there is any trouble at the Babeile Mansion, the fourth elder brother will solve it easily.

Unexpectedly, only one day later, the second letter came.

He was a little impatient and worried that there might be some trouble, so he took the letter and went to the household department to find the fourth elder brother himself.

The fourth elder brother has completed the previous errands, but he is still walking in the household department.

In the past few days, the Shanxi Buzheng envoy claimed that the governor of Shanxi, Wo Lun, was favoritism and protected the exiled Taiyuan prefect, and ordered the prefects of each prefecture to apportion compensation for the Taiyuan prefect's shortfall in treasury silver. When the incident broke out, the governor was still covering it up and did not report to the household department.

Now the chief envoy of Shanxi asked the Ministry of Households to send officials to inspect the money and food of the two prefectures.

The fourth elder brother looked at Zhezi and frowned, the two big mansions were like this, so what about the other prefectures in Shanxi?
Why didn't Khan Ama order the ministers of the Inspectorate to go down and check the matter?
The civil unrest in Shanxi has continued in the past two years, because these corrupt officials have increased the fire consumption by fighting in the previous two years.

He was frowning when he heard movement at the door.

Brother Nine hurried over, holding a letter in his hand.

The fourth elder brother saw this, his heart sank, and he said, "Is it the news from the imperial court?"

Sheng Jia is away, where has he been?

Is it peaceful out there?
"what?"

Brother Jiu was stunned by the question, then shook his head and said, "It's not Yuqian, it's not Yuqian, it's near Babeile's mansion..."

The fourth elder brother frowned and said, "What's wrong with Babeile Mansion?"

Without a serious master, isn't the door closed?
Brother Nine looked at his expression, and was a little surprised: "Fourth brother doesn't know either, so what's the old boy Yaqibu looking for me?"

Yaqibu, the housekeeper of the Babeile Mansion, and the father-in-law of the eighth elder brother.

When the eight princes are not around, he is qualified to walk outside on behalf of the Babeile mansion.

The fourth elder brother frowned and said, "Did someone deliver a letter to you again?"

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yes, I beg you for something, what can I ask you to do...my head?"

The fourth elder brother stretched out his hand, and the ninth elder brother handed over the letter directly.

The fourth elder brother looked at the opening and frowned after reading two lines.

It is somewhat similar to the last handwriting, but there are differences.

This handwriting is weak and charming, obviously a woman's handwriting.

The specific reason was not mentioned above, but Brother Jiu was asked to go to Babeile Mansion when he had time.

Only brother Jiu was careless and didn't pay attention to his serious homework when he was young, so he couldn't tell the difference.

The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother for a few times, and pondered: "You are holding a grudge? Since the eighth elder brother entrusted you with the mansion, he has his own intention and reason..."

Brother Nine snorted softly and said, "Let's talk about it when the starlings can't make up with me. There is also the eighth Fujin. We are not soft persimmons. Anyone who wants to pinch it can pinch it. I will listen to it later." People order!"

The fourth elder brother thought for a while, and said: "Then show your face, I will go with you!"

The last time I received the letter forwarded by the ninth elder brother, the fourth elder brother was very caring and called Yaqibu over in person, just because he was afraid that someone would not open his eyes and bully the eighth elder brother's family members while the eighth elder brother was not in the capital.

It turned out to be the matter of King An, and the mistress over there.

Baylor Mansion wants to send chewing food there, so I can't make up my mind.

Yaqibu remembered his master's instructions, and wanted to ask Brother Jiu to be the master.

The fourth elder brother believed it at the time.

I thought it was because the superiors acted the best, the masters were cautious, and the subordinates did not dare to be self-disciplined.

Now it seems that this is not quite right...
