Both Shu Shu and Brother Jiu thought that the matter in Beizi Mansion was over and had nothing to do with their family, so they could just forget about it.
Brother Jiu wrote another letter to Cao Yin here, urging him to arrange for people to come to Beijing quickly and strive to start the sheep cloth factory in the second half of the year.
When the time comes, we will choose a site near Tongzhou Pier, where it will be more convenient to use direct water.
Shu Shu here is preparing for his brother-in-law's "Zhou Zhou Ceremony".
Yifei doesn't want to take care of it anymore, but her own people want to show up.
When Wufujin was there, Concubine Yi sent Peilan over and prohibited Wufujin from leaving the city again.
It's been seven months since I've seen it, and it's time to stay at home. Traveling dozens of miles out of the city makes me uneasy.
Shushu lives right next to the garden, but if I try to stop him, I will get separated. I will definitely go.
There was also Princess Kejing, who handed over the certificate and received permission to move to the fifth southern institute.
The house over there is now being swept and dried.
We should move here before May 28th.
As a result, on this day, people from Beizi Mansion approached the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The person who came was none other than Ninth Prince's cheap brother-in-law Leqin.
His face was haggard and looked droopy.
Brother Jiu was very puzzled.
Are the two of them in a relationship that they can communicate with each other?
After all, the people of Beizi Mansion knew the origin of the late Seventh Madam.
Before the death of the seventh lady, Leqin had never clung to him.
This person is gone and you want to cling to him?
"Master Jiu, Ama has sent my servant here to ask you to come over..."
Leqin paid Qian, and upon seeing the gift, his attitude was very humble.
Brother Ninth was unwilling to move.
Although I didn't go into ambush, it was almost noon and it was very hot outside.
What’s there to do?
He didn't like to be perfunctory with others, so he told the truth: "Our two families don't have much contact, right? When I went back, I accompanied my uncle Fujin. I have nothing to do. What do you, Ama, do to find me?"
No matter what I do, I don’t want to go.
Leqin said with a bitter face: "The Nala family went to Beizi Mansion and wanted to find out about the early death of the two ladies..."
"ha?"
Brother Jiu was surprised and said: "Did you say that? Then why go to Beizi Mansion? Shouldn't you go to Zongren Mansion?"
Leqin said hurriedly: "It's all false rumors outside. My servant Ama has thoroughly investigated the matter. One of the two ladies is dead due to cold and high fever, and the other is dead after childbirth."
Brother Ninth Brother still refused to move, as steady as a mountain, and said: "Then why do you ask me to come over? I asked a middleman to mediate, but I can't find me?"
Leqin was sweating profusely and became even more clumsy.
There was movement at the door, it was Brother Ten.
The tenth elder brother came here after getting the news. When he saw Leqin, he asked directly: "The other party doesn't come to the clan house because there is no evidence or there is room for it. What does the other party want after all this trouble?"
Leqin said in a low voice: "It looks like he wants his dowry back..."
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "Those two nephews deny it? It's true that the dowry came from the Nala family, but didn't they give birth to a child?"
The tenth elder brother was not surprised by this request and said: "My family is in decline. I can't care about anything else. Benefits are more important."
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "Those two families were arguing, what did I do in the past? I used my power to scare people, I've had enough..."
Leqin wiped his sweat and said: "The Nala family somehow invited Qi Beile to come forward, and my Amma was also in trouble. The dowry of the two ladies had been paid as early as when the slave Sixth Brother and Ninth Brother got married.
Leave it to them."
If the Nala family wanted their dowry back, they would have to take money from their pockets. Sunubeizi would definitely not be happy with it, and neither would the two elder brothers.
But now that Qibele has come forward, Sonu doesn't want the situation to be awkward.
I thought of Brother Ninth. After all, this trouble was caused by Brother Ninth's nonsense.
Seven Belles...
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother looked at each other, and the two brothers knew something was wrong.
Is my seventh brother the nosy person?
There is something fishy about this.
What's wrong with Beizi Mansion?
The imperial father wants to investigate Beizi Mansion?
Brother Jiu frowned, still looking unhappy.
The tenth brother advised: "The seventh brother is here, how about we go and take a look?"
Brother Ninth coughed slightly and said, "Isn't it because the Nala family has evidence and witnesses? Otherwise, why would they invite Brother Seven?"
The tenth elder brother said: "If we can't guarantee it, go over first and listen to what the seventh elder brother has to say."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Then go and have a look."
After saying that, he stood up and planned to come out.
"Brother Ninth..."
Seeing that someone was about to leave, Brother Twelve hurriedly shouted, with a bit of expectation.
The three people who walked to the door turned back.
Brother Jiu said: "Twelve, what's the matter?"
Leqin was startled, only to realize that there was such a person. Hearing the title of Ninth Brother, he hurriedly made a thousand gestures and said: "I have seen the Twelfth Master, so I spoke in a hurry. It's rude."
The twelfth elder brother waved his hand, not paying attention to it, and still looked at the ninth elder brother.
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Follow me and see the world."
With the addition of the twelfth elder brother, the ninth elder brother asked the guards in Yishi Palace to follow him, and the brothers followed Leqin to Beizi Mansion.
Sunubeizi's face looked a little ugly.
If the seventh elder brother hadn't been there, he would have kicked out the Nala family long ago.
He is so easy to memorize words that all kinds of monsters and monsters dare to come to his door.
His stepmother and the third stepmother came from the same family and were a branch of the Nala family.
After all, he was the Duke of the town at that time, and his first wife was gone, leaving four legitimate sons. Who in a family with a better family background would be willing to let their daughter come in to become a stepmother?
Therefore, they were all found from relatives' families. The first stepmother was the daughter of the left collar, and the third stepmother was the stepmother's cousin, a princess from a seventh-rank official family.
I usually come to Beizi Mansion to enjoy the autumn breeze during the holidays, but at this time I got a kick out of my nose.
It just so happened that Qi Beile was as powerful as Tai Sui and would not speak when he came in.
Sunubeizi always showed his kindness to others and did not want to fall out, so he could only send his son to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to invite the ninth elder brother.
What I'm thinking about is the prince versus the prince.
It saves him from taking things lightly and seriously.
Seeing the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother coming together, Su Nu stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Nine masters, tenth masters..."
When he saw the two brothers followed by a yellow belt, Sunu felt unfamiliar and didn't know what to call them, so he couldn't help but get stuck.
Seeing this, the ninth elder brother said: "This is the twelfth elder brother, who is studying errands in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Only then did Su Nu remember that there was such a grown-up prince brother in the palace, who was raised by Grandma Su Ma, and he also said hello.
"Seventh brother..."
The three brothers paid tribute to the seventh elder brother again.
Brother Seventh had a sullen face and nodded in return.
The ninth elder brother sat directly next to the seventh elder brother and whispered: "Seventh elder brother, what's going on?"
The seventh elder brother glanced at him and didn't respond.
Brother Jiu shut his mouth, knowing that there was something going on inside and it was not good to tell it in front of others.
On the way here, Ninth Brother thought about the relationship between the Nala family and Seventh Brother. Maybe someone from the Yue family came forward to invite someone and was too embarrassed to refuse, or maybe he had other errands as he thought.
He looked at the men in the Nala family and said, "Have you read the "Qing Dynasty Code"? It is also clearly written in the "Eight Banners Sparse Regulations" that you are not allowed to accept the dowry of a married woman as you please.
, let alone dowry, when a man dies, as long as he does not remarry, his husband's family's property will be inherited in full. This is the precious thing about our Manchurian aunt. What are you daydreaming about if you want to make an exception?"
This is because the Manchus conquered the world in their early years and many soldiers of the Eight Banners died, as well as many widows.
It is true that the Manchus had adopted step marriages before, but it was a consensual situation.
Anyone who is unwilling to remarry and wants to keep his son alive or choose another heir to inherit the family should inherit his husband's full share of the property, and no one can stop him.
Neither the mother's family nor the husband's family are allowed to interfere.
Otherwise, who can fight with peace of mind on the battlefield?
When Brother Jiu said this, he was either meddling in other people's business, or he didn't want the Nala family to take advantage of it.
In that case, tracing back to the source, it seems that it was wrong for Dutong Mansion to take back the dowry, so we should go back to Beizi Mansion and go to Dutong Mansion with a grudge.
He was so rude, and several men in the Nala family showed their guilty consciences.
Originally they were sitting, but when the three princes arrived, they all stood up and gave up their seats.
Then no one asked them to sit down anymore, so they all stood.
The leader of them, who was in his forties, looked pitiful and said: "Nine masters are kind to me, and there are two generations of elders in my family. I am getting old, and I have to spend a lot of money..."
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said: "I haven't heard yet, which family in the Eight Banners can starve to death? What does the left leader do? Where is the leader, the leader? It's true that the whole family has no income, that's it.
The strong man is dead? Isn’t there still pension money and grain that can be collected?”
The man was so ashamed that he said: "The slave has made up for the shortfall, which is three cents, two cents, and three cents of silver per month, which is not enough for expenses."
Brother Jiu calculated in his mind that three taels and three cents a month would be forty taels a year. This is an eight-grade writing style.
He was speechless and said: "If you don't have it, think of other ways. What's the point of asking for someone else's? Can you imitate the Dutong Mansion? My aunt is dead and has no grandson. It's taken back according to the rules. What do you want?"
Follow my example, the nephew must die first, and then the nephew’s wife, and then the nephew’s wife must die, and the dowry must be extinct, so that the dowry can be recovered. Are you here to remind me?”
The man's face turned red and he said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare..."
The ninth elder brother wanted to talk more, but the tenth elder brother winked.
Brother Jiu stopped talking.
It was easy to say it for a while, but I said too much.
That’s it for now.
He lowered his head to take the tea and took a sip.
The seventh elder brother was sitting on the upper hand. Seeing how smart the ninth elder brother was, he raised the corner of his mouth.
Brother Jiu saw this and became more and more curious.
He looked at the men from the Nala family, but none of them looked familiar.
That's really weird. He's not the brother-in-law. Please tell me, brother-in-law, why is the seventh brother getting involved in this?
Seeing the embarrassment of the Nala family, the sixth son of Beizi Mansion could still sit still. He was in his twenties and had already participated in the clan examination and was awarded the title of third-class general.
Lao Jiu and Jiu Age are of the same age. He is eighteen this year and has not yet reached the age to be admitted. He is thin-skinned and feels embarrassed. He stood up and looked at Sonu and said: "Amma, my son doesn't want Enie's dowry. This is
Just break off the kiss..."
