After listening to Shu Shu's words, Brother Jiu also understood that he still had no money to make trouble.
He said: "It would be great if the clan mansion also had property. In addition to being responsible for weddings and funerals, it is also responsible for raising children..."
As he said that, he paused and said: "If I am not in my position and do not seek government, I can't take care of the clan's affairs, so why can't I take care of our own family? Later, I will allocate a share of the industry as our own.
The public property of a family, those who are specifically responsible for this area, the aunt who has returned home, the widowed woman, the orphan, all allocate money from here according to the rules."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "That's good. I heard that the clans in the south are like this too. They have special sacrificial fields, responsible for the education of their children, caring for orphans and helping the poor..."
It feels like these are the predecessors of family trusts.
In particular, the sacrificial field was the greatest guarantee in ancient times, because even if a clan member broke the law and lost their property, the sacrificial field would still be retained.
That's why in "A Dream of Red Mansions", Qin Keqing gave Wang Xifeng a dream before his death and mentioned the field sacrifice.
For aristocratic families, this is the greatest guarantee.
Brother Jiu said: "Look back and look at Mingren's notes to see if there is any reference. Let's make some purchases as well."
After saying this, both husband and wife laughed.
They are only eighteen years old and are already thinking about what will happen after they turn eighty.
"The title of this clan has gone down very quickly. Let's not talk about others. Let's just say that the clans that are getting married today are all of the ancestor's blood. The ones farthest from us are those who have just come out of the fifth server. If they are the descendants of Taizu, they are the same as us.
Still in the fifth server..."
Brother Jiu said, thinking of Prince Yu's Palace and Prince Gong's Palace.
Those are the princes of the older generation, the future direction of their brothers.
He was not happy about the eucalyptus in the clan's mansion, and he was also a little bit cold-blooded.
Most of the lawsuits that dare to be brought to the clan's mansion are handled by the clan's daughter.
If the eldest daughter is responsible, then her husband's family will not be responsible.
As a result, whether divorced or living apart, there was no obvious punishment for the husband's family.
Shu Shu said: "The world is at peace, and the clan members have also lost the opportunity to compete for promotion to nobility. There are many people who will be awarded first and last titles. When the exams are passed, the title will be lower. There is no other errand. The days are
It’s not easy.”
The imperial court had a clan member named Tongjue Luoque, but he had more wolves and less meat.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "Let's not worry about this for now. If the family mansion has not improved in three or forty years, I will think of something else."
Shu Shu nodded.
Brother Ninth is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, not the House of Clan. Cross-border interference is also taboo.
After three or forty years, when either the emperor's younger brother or the emperor's uncle has achieved their status and qualifications, they can also go to the clan's mansion to hang up a clan order. At that time, they can intervene in the affairs of the clan's mansion and seek protection for their descendants.
.
Since he was going back to Ning on the second day of the first lunar month, Shu Shu did not go back to Dutong Mansion without any fuss.
But on the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, Mrs. Jueluo came with Zhuliang.
Brother Jiu was not here and was invited to have a drink by Ji Hong.
Ji Hong came to Beijing and was familiar with Brother Jiu, so Brother Jiu gave him face to attend the appointment.
Shu Shu got the news and hurriedly went out to greet him.
Mrs. Jueluo and her son came here to take Mrs. Uncle back to celebrate the New Year.
Long before Laba, Mrs. Jueluo came over once and did not persuade Mrs. Hao.
Shu Shu supported Jueluo Shi and said, "Just follow Ah Mou's wishes. What are you doing for nothing?"
Jueluoshi glanced at her and didn't want to speak.
Zhuliang said from the side: "Sister, Amu is the wife of Dong E's family, and we will worship our ancestors on New Year's Eve."
Shu Shu was silent for a while and then said, "I'm afraid A Mou won't be happy to pay homage to uncle."
Although the couple did not reconcile, their last days were not happy.
Now one of them has become a memorial tablet, but if you don’t like it, you don’t like it.
Zhuliang couldn't say anything that Mrs. Bo shouldn't complain about, so she only said: "It depends on what Ah Mou means."
Mother and son did not go to the main courtyard, but went directly to Ning'an Hall.
Mrs. Bo is talking to Ni Guzhu.
Ni Guzhu had several toys on hand, including cloth tigers, kittens and puppies made of wool.
Ni Guzhu arranged them in a row, pointing with his little fat finger, saying "Hey, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh".
Mrs. Bo seemed to understand and nodded to comfort the child.
"Ah, ho ho..."
"Yes, this is a tiger, very fierce..."
"Yeah, woof woof..."
"Yes, this is a puppy, not the puppy outside. The puppy outside is Ruyi..."
"Ah, Mi..."
"This is a kitten, it can catch mice..."
Shu Shu stood at the door and couldn't help complaining to Jueluo: "You're so naughty. I've learned how to speak, but I just don't want to call Eni..."
Jueluo said: "It's less than ten months, so why are you so anxious?"
Mrs. Bo heard the movement at the door and looked over.
Nigu Zhuben was sitting in Mrs. Bo's arms, with her little face raised.
Grandfather and grandson both have similar expressions.
Jueluo Shi had already entered the room and said, "Sister-in-law, I will be young the day after tomorrow, and our master urged me to come over."
Zhuliang followed in, greeted Mrs. Bo, and then looked at Niguzhu.
He had sex two years ago. Not only was he thin, but he also had no flesh on his face, so he didn't look very good.
After being raised in the past two years, his appearance is somewhat similar to that of Shu Shu, his facial features are much gentler, and he has become a handsome boy.
Ni Guzhu didn't even wait for anyone to call, so she crawled over on her hands and knees.
Zhuliang was afraid that she would fall under the kang, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
Niguzhu directly pulled Zhuliang's arm and climbed on Zhuliang's body.
Zhuliang froze and looked at Mrs. Bo as if asking for help.
Mrs. Bo smiled and said, "I'm asking you to hug her."
This was her niece, so Zhuliang hugged her carefully.
Ni Guzhu was dishonest. He waved his chubby arms and pointed at the door.
This time Madam Bo didn't need to explain, Zhu Liang understood clearly that the little ancestor wanted to go out.
How could Zhuliang dare to hug her?
It's "49" weather now and it's cold outside.
Shu Shu was nearby and had already taken a one-piece cotton jumpsuit from head to toe and put it on Ni Guzhu.
This is all a habit of Brother Jiu.
The smell in the house was turbid in winter. Brother Jiu came over to see his daughter, so he covered her tightly and took her out for some fresh air.
Once or twice, Niguzhu became addicted and wanted to go outside every day.
Shu Shu asked someone to make these clothes, which covered Ni Guzhu's hands and feet tightly, so she was not afraid of her moving around.
"Cackle, cluck..."
Seeing the familiar clothes, Niguzhu obediently let Shushu wear them.
Seeing that after putting on their clothes, the two siblings were about to carry Ni Guzhu out, Mrs. Bo quickly told her: "Don't stay out for too long, no more than half a quarter of an hour."
Shu Shu agreed and followed Zhu Liang out, leaving the room for her two sisters to talk.
Jue Luo didn't want to offend him, but when people live in this world, they still have to abide by the rules.
She said: "I just paid it back last year. If I don't celebrate the New Year at home this year, there will be more unpleasant words."
Mrs. Bo touched her temples and said, "There's no need to be so early. I'll go back on the 29th and no one will pick me up. My carriage is right here."
Mr. Jueluo didn't say anything more and just said: "The house has been burned and swept."
The uncle said, "I'll be back after noon."
We worship our ancestors on New Year's Eve and wait for the younger generation to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Mr. Jueluo didn't hesitate and said, "It's up to you."
Madam Bo also doesn’t want to live in the Prince’s Mansion forever.
She thought for a while and said: "When Ni Guzhu and the others are three or four years old and get vaccinated, I will go home."
When the time comes, we can live at both ends without being as dazzling as now.
Let alone her uncle-in-law, even her biological mother-in-law would not be able to live in her son-in-law's house all the time.
Jueluo said: "I can't let go at that time. Three or four years old is the time to teach children rules. No matter Shu Shu or Jiu Age, there is no one who can teach children."
Mrs. Bo also had a headache thinking about Shu Shu's plan, and said: "I also wanted to ask Shi Fujin for a Mongolian nanny, but I stopped me. Even if I want to learn Mongolian, it shouldn't be at this time. I haven't spoken yet.
It would be a lot of trouble to learn Mandarin and Chinese together, but if you add Mongolian to the mix, your child’s mind will be full of slurs. It would be strange if he could learn the language well.”
Jue Luo said: "Sister-in-law is right, but you can't learn to speak like that. Fusong Ama was not very good at speaking when she was a child. She just learned to speak a few words in a jumble. She got better when she was eight or nine years old."
The uncle said: "It's still early for the child. I'm not stable myself. How can I take care of the child? I'm keeping an eye on Niguzhu here, as well as Fengsheng and Akdan. None of them are so cruel. They say they will be sent to ten
The Prince's Mansion only sent him there for a month. In the middle of winter, the couple went out to play..."
Jueluo grinded his teeth and said, "The longer I live, the more I go back. I'm so ignorant. I let my sister-in-law worry about it."
After hearing this, Mrs. Bo smiled and said: "I only like the good ones. They have been out for three years, and they can still live so freely and comfortably. It's also because the young couple has a really good relationship. You coax me and I coax you, but not all."
Have you become a child?"
Jueluo Shi thought about Brother Jiu's lack of cleverness, so he also laughed and said, "I'm really relieved this time."
Mrs. Bo pointed outside and said: "Zhu Liang is seventeen years old and Qing Ru is fifteen years old. Have you given me a message? When will the date be set?"
Jueluo said: "The general's wife said that she wants to stay in Qingru for two more years. I won't mention it next year. We'll see about it in the year after."
She gave birth to six sons, which completely changed the situation of Dong E's family's second-largest family being sparsely populated, but she was not in a hurry to have grandchildren.
Mainly because she had a tacit understanding with Qi Xi and his wife, and planned to let Zhuliang observe mourning for her uncle for three years.
The uncle died, and his only son Xizhu also died of illness, and his bloodline was cut off.
Among Qi Xi's six sons, one of them should have been chosen to adopt Uncle Xianghuo.
But that would leave hidden dangers in the inheritance of the title and create an excuse for brothers to fight against each other.
Neither Qi Xi nor his wife planned to adopt an heir to his uncle in order to avoid future troubles.
But Mrs. Bo can ignore her uncle's incense sacrifice, but her younger brother Qi Xi can't.
It is the best choice for Zhuliang, the inheritor of the title, to also serve as the incense burner for two houses.
*
In the yard, Zhuliang held Niguzhu in his arms, Shushu was beside him, and the two siblings walked toward the greenhouse.
Shu Shu also thought about Zhuliang's filial piety.
She reminded: "It's true that you can also eat at the same time, but that's for sacrificial purposes. Don't have other thoughts..."
Zhu Liang was a little puzzled after hearing this and said: "Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Shu Shu hummed softly: "It's like a wife with two wives..."
Zhu Liang laughed and said, "Sister, have you read too many stories? They are all made up by people who don't recognize the law. They are an excuse for merchants to cheat on marriages."
Shu Shu said: "As long as you know it well, Qingru is the good wife Eni asked for for you. You can't let her down."
