Chapter 486: There must be a stable person watching over you (first update, asking for monthly votes)
Brother Jiu was a little anxious after hearing this.
He had thought that he would be able to act calmly for a few days.
Now, I feel time is tight.
If nothing else, I have to go to Dutong Mansion.
When Dongyue got engaged last year, I bothered my father-in-law to come forward to help, and the invitations for this wedding were also sent out.
But what's going on at the uncle's house?
No mourning letter was sent.
But if my brother is terminally ill, that is not the time to go out for a banquet.
There was also the matter of Ninth Prince's plan to go south, but he didn't mention it to the Dutong Mansion. He always asked them to make preparations, including letters home, food, etc.
Only then will Fujin be even more happy.
Brother Jiu immediately ordered He Yuzhu: "Go to Dutong Mansion and tell me that I have something to do and will be there in a moment."
He Yuzhu agreed and went out immediately.
The fourth elder brother attended the engagement ceremony of the tenth elder brother and heard it and asked: "What's wrong? The post from Dutong Mansion hasn't been sent yet?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "It's not that, it's because my younger brother is leaving Beijing in a few days and I haven't told him yet."
The fourth elder brother said seriously: "When you leave the capital, Khan Ama sent you an errand. Where are you going?"
Shouldn't it be heading south?
There are several princes in the escort. If it is an errand to the south, they will not send people from the capital. Just ask the prince in the escort to go there.
If you go north, it's still cold now.
Does the Ministry of Internal Affairs have any errands to the north?
What’s next for the palace renovation?
"Isn't there He Yi? Why do you still need to go out in person?"
Fourth elder brother frowned.
He didn't trust others with the errands at hand, and wished he could do it all over again himself.
But he was worried about the ninth elder brother's errand, and thought it would be better to find someone more stable.
Brother Jiu coughed slightly, suppressing his pride and said, "Is this it? Considering both public and private matters, my brother must go in person, no one else can do it for him!"
Seeing that the pride on his face could not be concealed, the fourth elder brother also had a guess in his heart: "Khan Ama sent you to the imperial court?"
Okay, why did you call people over again?
Brother Jiu raised his chin and said: "No, but before the holy driver set off, my brother asked Khan Amma for a decree, and Khan Amma allowed my brother to go to Jinan to meet the holy driver!"
Brother Si glanced at him: "But this year's southern tour team will not go to Jinan!"
Since I want to go to the Susong area to appease the people, the focus of my itinerary is still on Jiangnan, not Shandong.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Brother knows, walk to the mouth of the Qinghe River...what's the matter, just go south to meet him, it's all out of my brother's filial piety!"
He puffed out his chest and spoke confidently.
The fourth elder brother felt that he had no vision.
Just the dirty look on his face, can’t others see it?
This is not for fulfilling filial piety, but for his prosperity.
In the name of "picking up", the southern patrol fleet has only left half of the way, why should we pick them up?
Brother Si, who always loves to worry, said: "You want to set off on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Have you arranged manpower at the guard office? Where is the guard camp?"
"Leave at noon on the third day of the lunar new year!"
Brother Jiu smiled happily and said: "Other arrangements have been made long ago. One bodyguard, fifty guards, all equipped with two horses and two saddles..."
After hearing this, Brother Si felt a little worried and warned: "Even if you have to go out, don't be in a hurry. You still have plenty of time. Just get there before the southern patrol team returns."
This is a journey of two thousand miles, not two or three days. It is not safe to go too fast.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "That's not possible. I finally went out for a breather. My brother also wants to go around Suzhou and Hangzhou!"
The fourth elder brother said: "Then take a boat. There happens to be a big yellow boat going back and forth from the Ministry of Finance. I will arrange it for you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Brother Jiu had already turned around and walked out, saying, "Oh, everything has been arranged well. Fourth brother, don't worry!"
As if a dog is chasing behind him, the person is already far away.
The fourth elder brother had no choice, but he was not at ease either.
He calculated the distance from Beijing to Suzhou in his mind. If he really wanted to catch up with the Holy Master on the road as Brother Jiu said, it would take more than a hundred miles every day.
Even though he knew that Brother Jiu could not ride a horse and could probably ride a car, he still felt uneasy.
He thought for a while and then left the Hubu Yamen and went to the Zongrenfu Yamen.
He wanted to talk to the tenth elder brother and let the tenth elder brother persuade him.
If it takes three or two days to catch up, it will be enough to catch up, but for these two thousand miles, who has always been pampered and unable to endure hardships, who can rest assured?
*
In the clan's mansion.
The tenth prince nodded, thinking about his wedding in a few days.
three days left……
He is a married man.
When they are knighted, they will be the ancestors of that branch.
From now on, the bloodline will multiply...
It is a new sect.
He thought again of some clan gossip he heard yesterday.
In fact, it was several transfers made in the past few days that caused discussion in the clan.
That is the matter of the first-class bodyguard Norob raising the red flag to become the deputy commander of the Han army.
Although there are no legal provisions, the appointments of the Eight Banners Commanders and Deputy Commanders were previously limited.
The commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of each banner are elected in that banner.
There are occasional exceptions, including wartime.
On weekdays, most people still follow the rules.
Norob was born in the Shuncheng Palace and was a member of the Zhenghong Banner, but this time he filled the gap of the red flag.
It seems that in the future, the selection of the eight banner commanders and deputy commanders will not be limited to the princes and nobles of the banner.
Brother Ten also has some thoughts in his heart.
I don’t know what changes will happen to the clan structure under the Five Banners in the future.
Now it is Prince Kang, Prince Shuncheng holds the red flag, Prince Ping and Prince Zhuang, the descendants of Guanglue Baylor hold the red flag, Prince An, Prince Yu holds the blue flag, Prince Jian holds the blue flag, and Prince Xian holds the flag.
white flag.
Regardless of whether it is the uncles and uncles who were enfeoffed before, or the brothers who were enfeoffed last year, they are all enfeoffed princes and have no flag rights.
But the current situation is different from that of Emperor Shizu or twenty years ago.
There are not many princes of the older generation left.
The current princes, Prince Kang, Prince Shuncheng, Prince Xian, and Prince Ping are all nephews of the emperor, and their grandsons have no military exploits.
Prince Zhuang, Prince An, and Prince Jian all have their own shortcomings and do not have the confidence to raise their voices in the clan.
I don’t know what the next generation of the enfeng prince will do, and I don’t know if anyone in their brothers’ generation will be able to get the iron hat.
Brother Ten was thinking about it when there was movement at the door.
Fourth brother has arrived.
The tenth prince hurriedly stood up and came out to greet him.
The fourth elder brother got straight to the point: "Do you know that the ninth elder brother is leaving Beijing?"
Brother No. 10 smiled and nodded: "Brother Ninth mentioned it before Khan Ama left the capital, and mentioned it twice in the past few days."
Fourth Brother said: "He asked the accompanying guards and guards to prepare two horses..."
The tenth elder brother was a little puzzled after hearing this.
Isn't it appropriate to have two horses for this long journey?
If it's only a single horse that would be troublesome, why would we have to change horses on the road?
Brother Si frowned and said: "He is also called Bei Shuanggan, and he plans to go quickly and catch up with the Holy Spirit before he arrives in Suzhou!"
The tenth elder brother was surprised and said: "How...how are you chasing after the holy driver? It's just a month since the holy driver left. I wonder if he will arrive in Suzhou in a few days..."
Put on wings?
The fourth elder brother snorted coldly: "Every time I think about it, it comes out. I am planning to march in a hurry!"
If you drive quickly, you can get there in seven or eight days from the capital.
After hearing this, Brother Ten was also troubled: "Brother Ninth's body... How can he suffer such a pain?"
The fourth elder brother asked: "Is there any way to persuade him?"
The key is that the time is too tight, otherwise the fourth elder brother will directly hand over the certificate to the emperor and ask the emperor to order the ninth elder brother to stay in Beijing.
Now it would take more than ten days to deliver the paper to the emperor, and there was no time.
Brother 10 thought for a while and said: "You can't stop it, you still have to ask someone to keep an eye on it..."
Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat.
"Fourth brother, I..."
Brother Ten's eyes were shining: "I'll go with you and keep an eye on Brother Ninth!"
The fourth elder brother felt a headache and reprimanded: "It's nonsense, the clan is 'not allowed to leave the capital without the holy order'!"
The tenth elder brother smiled and said: "Fourth brother, that means 'a noble clan', and my younger brother is a bald prince..."
Fourth elder brother shook his head and said, "That's not appropriate either. Ninth elder brother is planning to leave at noon on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and you are still newly married."
The tenth elder brother said: "Actually, it was just right. My brother took Fujin to pay homage to Khan Amma and the Queen Mother. This is also a sign of filial piety..."
The fourth elder brother became more and more troubled: "This is not child's play. You don't have a title, but you are already on an errand. Do you just leave the errand aside?"
The tenth elder brother pointed outside and said: "Fourth brother, look how idle this yamen is. Even with weddings and funerals, we can't keep waiting for the dead!"
Brother Si's face was tense, he didn't expect this situation to happen.
I didn't find a way to keep the ninth brother, but I had to hook up with two more.
He wanted to persuade again.
The tenth elder brother also had a plea on his face and said: "Fourth brother, I really want to go. If I miss this time, I may never have the chance to go south in my life."
Once you are knighted, there will be more restrictions.
As the tenth prince, he is easily feared by others.
The prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River is also important. Since the tenth elder brother has been assigned to the errand of the clan, he should not have the opportunity to send errands there.
The fourth elder brother sighed and said: "But over there with the Borzigit family, there is also a 'returning ceremony'..."
When it comes to the Mongolian vassal kings, one cannot be arrogant and must be courteous and courteous.
The tenth elder brother immediately said: "Brother, I will go to the inner palace now and report this matter to the county prince Fujin. Fujin will understand..."
Brother Si had no choice but to nod and say, "Then talk it over."
The tenth elder brother didn't delay. The two brothers came out of the clan's mansion and went to the inner hall.
It's quite convenient, it's less than one mile in total.
The fourth elder brother stood at the door of the clan's mansion and watched the tenth elder brother's back go away. Instead of rushing back to the Hubu Yamen, he entered the palace and went to the guard's office.
If two princes, elder brother, and one prince, Fujin, were to leave the capital, the number of accompanying guards and troops would be doubled.
But with the addition of the Tenth Prince and his wife, the Fourth Prince feels more at ease.
Although the tenth elder brother is two months younger than the ninth elder brother, he acts more steadily...
*
Little did Brother Ninth know that in less than a moment, because of his brother's "care", he would have two more little tails.
Feeling a little excited, he went to Dutong Mansion and met He Yuzhu on the way back.
This has been informed.
"Master Qi is not at home in the camp, but his wife is here. She seems to be waiting for guests and said she is waiting for him to come over."
He Yuzhu said.
Brother Jiu said casually: "Are you a relative? Which family are you from?"
He Yuzhu said: "I was in a hurry to come back, so I forgot to ask, but seeing that Madam has arrived in the front yard, she must not be a familiar guest."
If you are a familiar guest, you can directly lead him to the main room to talk.
Brother Ninth didn't carry anything this time.
Although it is not strange to be polite to many people, it is not good to be too external.
Throughout February, he has been here two or three times.
When we arrived at the gate of Dutong Mansion, we saw the steward seeing the guests off.
When Brother Jiu came over, the steward and the guests all stood respectfully.
Brother Jiu got off his horse and looked at the two people who were dressed plainly and had formal expressions. He asked curiously: "Where are these guests? Are they relatives in the house?"
The steward said: "Returning to Master Jiu, this is our elder brother's cousin, grandpa, uncle..."
Brother Jiu frowned when he heard this: "Why did you come to the door at this time?"
He was worried that people from Fusong's maternal family would come and try to get hold of him.
It was a pitiful little thing before and he was raised here. Now that he has a job, his relatives come to cling to him. That's too disgusting.
Seeing his misunderstanding, the steward hurriedly said: "Our wife invited you two here. You two also came to visit my brother before."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu's expression softened slightly, and then he nodded and entered the Dutong Mansion.
*
The front yard and living room of Tutong Mansion.
Jue Luo looked at the box in front of him and told the girl next to him to put it away: "Put it all away, and wait for my brother to come back to check in."
At that time, Grandpa Fusong and his uncle were both killed in battle. In addition to the family property, they also retained military merit and titles.
Even the lowest title can be passed down to children and grandchildren.
There is no one in Fusong's maternal family, but his maternal grandfather has cousins and nephews.
Several families are vying for the house where their son will live, so that they can get a title and an estate for free.
But Grandpa Fusong also left behind a grandson.
The Eight Banners discuss relatives not by surname, but by blood.
Grandpa Fusong is gone, and the person most qualified to inherit the family property is Fusong's Eni.
Fusong Eni is gone, and there is still Fusong, his biological grandson.
The Han people's patriarchal system attaches great importance to the same surname. Even if the family is extinct, people with the same surname can inherit first. It is forbidden to adopt adopted sons with different surnames to avoid disturbing the bloodline.
After the Eight Banners entered the customs, the clan system also began to follow civil regulations.
But it's not that strict.
Fusong's grandfather had no children or grandchildren, and there was still a grandson left by Fusong, a married daughter, who could inherit the family property and title.
However, Fusong's clan had been abolished and he could not be adopted by his maternal family, so he would not be able to obtain all the family property and would not be associated with the people.
Therefore, at that time, Qi Xi and his wife, who had raised Fusong, came forward to discuss with the tribesmen there and divided the property left over there, including two houses, four shops, and eight fertile fields in Fangshan, into two parts.
cut.
Half of it was transferred to Fusong, and the other half, along with the title, was left to Fusong's uncle.
The house deeds, land deeds, and property distribution documents are all kept here by the Jueluo family, waiting for Fusong to transfer when he comes of age.
However, in case Fusong Ama found out and intervened, Jueluo did not intervene in the management of several properties. Fusong's uncle was in charge of them.
At the end of every year, the interest will be paid as agreed.
After more than ten years, the accounts are clean.
Now that Fusong has been divided into households, the Jueluo family wanted to transfer the property to Fusong's name, so they invited people over there to inform them.
He also told Fu Song over there that he had an errand.
Although he is not a biological uncle, he has been able to live a good life these years. He wears clothes for his birthday every year and receives a piece of lucky money at the end of the year.
It will cost three to forty taels of silver in a year.
You must know that the title of "Tuosalahaban" left by Uncle Fusong has an annual salary of eighty taels of silver.
This is almost half delivered.
It was not in the name of alimony, but only as a gift.
Time passes and people's hearts are revealed.
They are not from the same banner, and they have never sought the opportunity of Dong E's family. It is not easy to do this.
The Jueluo family has a little more respect for them. During the holidays, they will help Fusong prepare New Year gifts and go over to pay New Year greetings...
