11, special house rules
(Add to reward redtears88, Qingyue Wings and other relatives)
Xiao Lian looked at Shi Jinrou with confusion. What's wrong with her own lady? Isn't it a pleasure to be invited by the Marquis' Mansion?
Shi Jinrou didn't notice Xiao Lian's appearance. She is now confused about the position of the Wuyue Marquis Mansion on the fight for the crown prince. Because of this, she is unable to determine whether she can set a new way for Ishihara Sea from the Wuyue Marquis Mansion.
But if you want to know the attitude of the Marquis of Wu Yue's Mansion, with her current ability, it is completely impossible to investigate clearly.
Shi Jinrou suddenly thought of Ding Zhong, and could ask Ding Zhong about the situation of the Wuyue Marquis Mansion, and perhaps the position of the Wuyue Marquis Mansion was inferred from the details.
Thinking of this, Shi Jinrou suddenly stood up and prepared to go to the room of Ishihara and Ding Zhong.
Xiao Lian, who was standing aside, was startled by Shi Jinrou's actions and hurriedly followed Shi Jinrou.
When he arrived at Ishihara Hai's house, Shi Jinrou asked Xiao Lian to stay outside the house to help watch the wind.
After entering the room, Shi Jinrou found Ishihara Hai sitting by the table in a daze, with a post on the table, which it thought should have been sent by the Hou Mansion.
Ding Zhong lowered his head and stood aside with his hands hanging down.
After Shi Jinrou asked her father for help, she pointed to the post on the table and said, "Dad, is this sent by the Marquis of Wuyue?"
Ishihara nodded.
Shi Jinrou picked up the post, opened it and took a look. The time for the guest was set tomorrow, and she said she would send a carriage to pick it up.
Shi Jinrou put down the post and asked Ding Zhong who was standing next to him without saying a word: "Ding Bo, you heard that Daddy might be out of the election, have you heard of it?"
Ding Zhong nodded.
Shi Jinrou walked gently between Shiyuanhai and Ding Zhong and asked in a low voice: "Ding Bo, I guess you know, Dad's classmate Sui Chaoyun is involved..." Shi Jinrou pointed to the sky with her hand, and then said: "Now I have received a post from the Marquis of Wuyue, but I don't know about Marquis of Wuyue's position on the crown throne, so I want to learn more about Marquis of Wuyue's mansion, but I don't know Marquis of Ding Bo..."
Ding Zhong looked at Shi Yuanhai, then looked at Shi Jinrou, then lowered his eyes, and after a while, he whispered: "The Marquis of Wuyue will not be involved in the dispute over the crown prince. The first generation of Marquis of Wuyue has set up family rules to be loyal to the emperor, and not friends or party. Without special summons, the Marquis and the Crown Prince are not allowed to enter the court to serve as officials."
When Shi Jinrou heard this, she didn't know whether she should be happy or depressed. It was a good thing that the Marquis of Wuyue did not take sides, but if she didn't join the court, she might not be able to help her father's choice of officials. Alas!
However, let’s take care of the dead horse. When you go to the Marquis’ Mansion tomorrow, you should mention it with the Grandmaster. There may be unexpected surprises.
But Shi Jinrou did not tell Ishihara Hai her thoughts. She was afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Shi Jinrou smiled casually and said, "The rules of the Marquis of Wuyue Mansion are really special."
Ding Zhong replied expressionlessly: "It's very special. In addition to what he said just now, there are many others, all of which are different from the family rules of the aristocratic families."
"Oh?" Shi Jinrou became interested and asked, "What else?"
"A man who has no children can only take a concubine if he has no children. If he has no children, he will be adopted by his brother or the same clan; his descendants can only be appointed as the crown prince if he is fifteen years old; he must not have a banquet for guests more than ten times a year; he must not use the marquis to rely on him unless he travels for official business. There are no less than a hundred pieces of things, and I can't remember the others."
Shi Jinrou was stunned when she heard it, and even Ishihara Hai was so clear that she could hear it.
After a long time, Shi Jinrou asked with some difficulty: "Then, isn't Wu Yue Hou dispensable for the entire court?"
"I don't know this. However, all the noble families of all generations like to marry the Marquis of Wuyue." Ding Zhong replied.
Shi Jinrou said in his heart: "That's it! Who doesn't want to marry his daughter to a wealthy family who doesn't let him take a concubine?"
The first generation of Wu Yuehou was definitely a smart person. He not only knew how to retreat bravely, but also formulated such extremely special family rules. However, this seemingly harsh and unreasonable family rules can allow future generations to live a comfortable and comfortable life and enjoy wealth forever!
Ishihara Hai kept listening silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
In order not to keep his father from being confused about possible defeat, Shi Jinrou decided to divert his attention.
Shi Jinjudo: "Dad, although my daughter knows a lot of words now, she can't write well. Can Dad help her daughter choose this copybook? My daughter doesn't have much to do, so it's better to practice calligraphy."
Ishihara Hai indeed followed Shi Jinrou's thoughts and said: "The characters are the face of a person. It is a good thing for Xiaorou to practice calligraphy. But for her father, there is no copybook suitable for Xiaorou now."
Shi Jin laughed and said, "What's the problem? Let's just buy one now?"
He did it as soon as he said that, Shi Jinrou immediately went back to the house and changed into men's clothes and pulled her father out.
He said he was going to buy copybooks, but when he got on the street, Shi Jinrou entered the store when he saw it, but he didn't buy anything. He walked around the store and asked about the price and left.
Ishihara Hai loved his daughter, so he kept following Shi Jinrou "behavedly".
The father and daughter spent the whole morning shopping and finally chose an entry-level copybook at a book shop, three brushes and one knife with the worst quality rice paper.
Looking at the disdainful eyes of the shopkeeper, Shi Jinrou grinned provocatively at the gang with Shihara on his back. Unfortunately, he did not scare or anger the gang, but instead made him smile. Because Shi Jinrou's appearance was too funny, Shi Jinrou, dressed in men's clothes, had a pretty appearance to the point of being a monster, and the "his" face had no deterrence at all.
After coming out of the book shop, Shi Jinrou wanted to "take" her father to the restaurant for lunch, but in the end she gave up. Ishihara Hai was used to hard life. Although she would not stop her from spending money with big hands, her heart must be so painful. She was not short of that bite of food, so why bother her father to make things difficult?!
After returning to the inn and having lunch, Shi Jinrou began her calligraphy practice in the afternoon, and of course she did not forget to ask her father to guide her.
"... Practicing calligraphy is a big deal. You must be upright, your heart is upright, and your pen is upright!" Ishihara Hashi patiently guided his daughter.
The father and daughter had a happy life for the whole afternoon.
