My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 7 Bamboo Horse
Brother Jiu immediately thought of Dong E's appearance in his mind, and couldn't help feeling disgusted.

He is too tall, like a bamboo pole...

shriveled face...

Thick eyebrows and fair complexion...

The eyes are hateful, braving the light...

Small mouth "baba" will say...

Where is the virtuous gentleness of a lady...

The highest status of this batch of showgirls is Niu Gulu, the daughter of the first-class relative, A Ling'a. The mother and son of Concubine Yi also talked about this in private. According to the emperor's previous instructions, the marriage will fall to Niu Gulu's family. Gege's head.

During the draft, Concubine Yi also summoned Niu Gulu Gege several times. Apart from being slightly younger, only fourteen years old, there was nothing to be picky about in appearance and character.

The Niu Gulu family is not only the descendant family, but also the mother clan of the ten princes. The nine princes and the ten princes have a good relationship, and they do not reject marrying there.

No matter how many talents Dong E's family has, no matter how old Xun is, with the third elder brother in front, the power he can share is limited, not to mention that he has just filed a lawsuit, and it is the Dong E family who is the candidate for marriage!

That unruly, cunning, and money-greedy girl Pianzi is about to become his first wife, Fujin?

This is probably a nightmare!

Concubine Yi is an exquisite and plump beauty, she looked only about thirty years old, and said slowly: "The emperor chooses his daughter-in-law, who comes from a heavy blood lineage, the father's family is like this, and the mother's family is also like this. , it is actually registered, it is from a concubine, it is estimated that the emperor just thought of asking someone to check..."

Where are the secrets in the palace?
Tong Guowei hung on to lead the guards and internal ministers, and checked the files of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Naturally, the news could not be hidden from the concubines who were born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Not to mention Concubine Yi, I am afraid that several other concubines also know about this matter.

Concubine Yi has a broad personality, although she is the most honored by the holy favor, she is not arrogant because she knows the emperor's taboo, so she doesn't interfere with the marriage of her two sons.

She had no objection to the emperor's selection of the Niu Colu family before; now she still has no objection to the election of the Dong E family.

Both of them are family surnames, and it is more dignified to be born in the matriarchal line later on.

Brother Jiu didn't feel happy when he heard this, but felt tight in his chest. The emperor picked his daughter-in-law to see her bloodline, what about his son?
Among the princes, except the crown prince and the tenth elder brother who came from the concubine Xungui, the other princes and elder brothers were all born from the concubine!
Does the emperor look down on the blood of the concubine? !

It seems not surprising, after all, since the emperor Taizu, the sons were divided into two classes, the ones from Fujin and side Fujin were called "big elder brothers", and the rankings were given, while the sons from other young Fujin were called "little elder brothers". Not even ranked.

The same is true of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Shizu. Among them, Emperor Shizu also called Prince Rong, who was the fourth son, "the first son", ignoring the first son.

Dong E's family doesn't take Gui Dan seriously, does it mean that Guo Luoluo's family is lowly and comes from "Manchurians"?
What about the prince himself?

Pretending not to know the identity of my elder brother, not visiting or worshiping, how can there be any respect?

The more Brother Nine thought about it, the more angry he became, and he said indiscriminately: "There is no one else? Why did you choose her? She is the Miao descendant of the country, an old honored daughter, and married to the Prince's Mansion for generations. Will you think highly of me, a bald brother?"

Concubine Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly reprimanded: "What did you say? This is the emperor's kindness. He has always loved you, so he chose such a good Fujin for you... Don't worry, I saw her in the general election. She is a quiet and docile woman." Good boy, he can't compare to Sanfu Jinjun, and he's also pretty and lovely..."

Brother Nine sneered and said, "Quiet and gentle? The Dong'e family has always been 'well-educated' to the outside world and respected Sinology, but in fact they are just pretending..."

Concubine Yi didn't know why her son was stubborn, so she glared at him: "Isn't it good to be quiet and submissive? That's the character and tolerance of Fujin! Anyway, the date of the initial ceremony has been set, and it will be half a month later. How about you? Go and see..."

Brother Nine has always been filial, and he doesn't talk back, but he is full of anger.

Going back to the second house of the fifth Ganxi house where he lives, brother Jiu is still indignant.

That girl's temperament is obviously rebellious, but she pretends to be "demure and docile" in the palace. Is she trying to climb high?

If you look down on yourself, who can you look down on?
Khan Ama?
Or the prince? !

*
Since it was such a big event, at night, Shu Shu's family gathered again.

In addition to my family of nine, the family of three from the neighboring uncle's house also came.

The second-class uncle Xin Dali is Qi Xi's elder brother and Shu Shu's uncle, who is a member of their branch. Because of his weak health, he has never been on the military register, nor has he been an official, so he lives with a title. .

Mrs. Uncle is the great-granddaughter of Prince Li Lie and the county lord of Shuncheng County.

The husband and wife have been married for [-] years and have no children. Now they only have a son from a concubine, Xizhu, who is half a year older than Shushu.

Today, after accepting the marriage proposal, Qi Xi made a gesture of gratitude on the surface, but felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Like Shushu, he also regretted it. It would be better to choose Chuntai as his son-in-law. He is a nephew. As an uncle, he is still qualified to discipline him; I can't protect myself.

On the contrary, the uncle was sitting on the kang, his expression was very excited: "The two princes of the family, Fujin, this is one of the nobles, I never expected to have such a kindness!" Tears came out as he spoke.

Qi Xi could only echo: "Yeah, I never thought of it... I'm afraid it's my cousin who will be shocked..."

The cousin Qi Xi spoke of was Peng Chun, the current patriarch of the Dong'e clan, the first-class prince.

"We Manchus have the most military merits, but I am weak and unable to stand up for the family. The future of our team depends on you alone. We are weak... It's hard to get what we are today... But Xizhu is not used properly. Zhu Liang and his brothers are still young... After getting this kind of prince and son-in-law, the two generations of descendants have in-laws to support them, so they can finally breathe a sigh of relief..."

The uncle is very sad, but it's not that he doesn't love his niece: "I've never seen a child who is smarter than Shushu. Don't talk about anything else, why don't you just pinch them with your hands to live a peaceful life? Turn around and stare at Zhuliang and his brothers." Well, after becoming a talent, I can support Shu Shu..."

Qi Xi gritted his teeth, looked at the row of teenagers sitting on the small stools, and was determined to train these bastards hard, but how many years did it take to train them to be the backers of girls?

Counting on them, might as well count on myself to live a few more years?

He is forty-two this year, so he set a goal and worked hard to hit eighty.

Brother Jiu is the prince now, can he still be the prince forever?
There will always be a time when you become a clan, and even if there are restrictions on respect and inferiority at that time, you won't be as restrained as you are now.

The female relatives were in the West Room, Madam Uncle held Shu Shu, her eyes were distressed, but she comforted Jue Luo: "Shu Shu has such a good looks, it's a pity that she really wants to marry into the Duke's mansion or the General's mansion... Now it's the prince Fujin, so don't take advantage of it." I don’t have anything to worry about if I don’t occupy the throne…”

Jue Luo sighed and said, "I'm just worried about her rules... I didn't think about getting married before, and I'm used to being loose at home... I have to be strict..."

After hearing this, Shu Shu couldn't help revealing her distress, and hurriedly begged: "Ernie, please don't...there will be more days to follow the rules in the future, so let's take it easy these few months..."

To be able to enter the palace draft, the basic rules have been learned, and the rest can be casual.

The date of the initial engagement ceremony is set, and the day of marriage is not far away.

Jue Luoshi snorted softly: "Don't talk about anything else, you can't pick up needles and threads... If you are a primary school student, you can let it go if you say it... I don't expect you to do big jobs, but I can embroider a purse and make a fan cover Wiping the forehead or something is always the same..."

Shu Shu couldn't help feeling ashamed, it seemed that since she awakened the memories of her previous life, the pace of her life has picked up, she was thinking about "health preservation" and "financial freedom", and she didn't do her job well to be filial to her elders.

Obviously when he picked up needlework back then, he bought a bunch of them for Ama's fan cover, socks for Ernie and Amu, and purses for Fusong and Zhuliang, but he lost them all due to a serious illness.

If Jue Luoshi hadn't mentioned female celebrity today, Shu Shu wouldn't have remembered it.

Mrs. Uncle couldn't bear Shu Shu's discomfort, and persuaded after seeing this: "Where is there a person with all kinds of colors, Shu Shu is already very good... Accounts are calculated well, and he can manage people... Meals are also arranged properly... One day Two deficiencies are not bad things..."

Jue Luoshi insisted on his own opinion: "I don't ask her to be proficient, but there is no need to expose this shortcoming to others..."

Shu Shu asked in a low voice: "Then... I will learn bead embroidery from Amu..."

Mrs. Uncle also said: "That's right, don't learn from needlework, it's all delicate work, and it hurts your eyes... Tomorrow, I will go to the East courtyard every morning, and I will learn bead embroidery with me..."

Jue Luo Shi is her own mother, not a stepmother, so she naturally loves her daughter: "Sister-in-law, don't spend money, don't waste good things... I will send someone to buy some boxes of beads for her later..."

Mrs. Uncle is not happy to hear this: "I have to leave all my things to Shushu, why is it ruined?"

The two are called sisters-in-law, but they are still sisters of the same race, and they have been together for many years and have always had a deep relationship.

Mrs. Uncle has no biological flesh and blood, and she is not willing to raise the bastard. Jue Luo's family has given birth one after another. Shu Shuda's little one is often taken by the aunt to take care of the uncle's house next door. She is an aunt in name, but she is also a foster mother in fact.

Shu Shu's dowry has been prepared a few years ago. Among them, the valuable antique ornaments and the gold-encrusted white jade ruyi are all gifts from Mrs. Uncle over the years.

If you take out any of those things, you can exchange for several boxes of gold beads or something.

Thinking of this, Jue Luoshi couldn't say anything more, so he just blamed: "Sister-in-law, let's just get used to it...you dare to spend money... a few days ago, I bought a cloth shop in Gulou with the lucky money from these years..."

Mrs. Uncle has nothing but praise: "It's rare to find a shop in the city... It's good to rent out the shop if only the warehouse is closed..."

Shu Shu nodded endlessly: "What A Mou said is exactly, isn't this a rare encounter?"

If it weren't for Gui Dan's use of the name of Brother Nine to lower the price and make things difficult for the owner, he wouldn't have changed the shop happily.

It's just that there is Fusong's hard work in this shop, so it's not good to directly attribute it to the public, and it's not good to directly hang it under Fusong's name. It's necessary to keep Shu Shu in his hands for a while to make a living.

Before dinner, Zhu Liang called Shu Shu outside and said in a low voice, "Eldest sister... Cousin Chuntai sent two ancient books a few days ago... I'm still hesitating how to give you..."
