Because of the Eight Banners draft, the daughters of noble families tend to be a little high-spirited.
Those who are not high-spirited, who are good-looking and behave in a good manner will also be given a label.
For those who left the palace and left the palace, their conditions were somewhat worse.
All the noble families of the Eight Banners, except for the descendants of the three families and the Juercha family, are no exception.
Fusong didn't have much choice.
This time, the world is truly blessed.
Shu Shu immediately told Xiao Chun: "Go back to the Dutong Mansion and tell me Eni that my brother is going to see us and ask her to help prepare the meeting ceremony."
Xiao Chun, who was nearby, was also happy for Fusong. He responded and went down immediately.
Seeing this, Fusong hurriedly said: "Sister, are you too anxious?"
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "Don't be in a hurry, it's all right. You must always show your solemnity."
It's just a meeting ceremony, why can't it be prepared here in the Prince's Mansion?
Shu Shu is the elder sister and can also act on behalf of her younger brother, but in the eyes of a person who values rules, she looks negligent.
If there are parents present above, it would be more solemn if the elders come forward.
Fusong was a little uneasy and said: "But I just told Mr. Zhang that there must be consensual behavior. Wait until Ms. Zhang nods before talking about anything else."
This was caused by what happened in the past. I was disliked by others for a while. It looked like nothing on my face, but I felt a little inferior in my heart.
Shu Shu looked up and down for a few times, but couldn't find anything wrong, and said: "Don't worry, as long as I see you, I will definitely nod."
Speaking of this, she must remind: "The Zhang family is an old scholarly family, and the rules are different from the Eight Banners rules. After the marriage is consummated, if there are any differences, we must slowly teach them and understand each other."
Since Zhang Tingzhan could mention this to Fusong, it must have been through Zhang Ying's nod.
The father and brother nodded, and the fourth lady of the Zhang family had no reason to refuse.
After all, when discussing marriage now, it is still the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.
This marriage is almost certain.
It's true that the two families have different living habits, so it probably takes some time for them to get used to each other.
Fusong nodded and said: "I know
Let's not talk about other people, just talk about Shi Prince and Shi Fujin, a Dong couple. Even though they are different from other couples, they are living a good life now.
It just depends on whether you are careful or not.
At this time, Brother Jiu came out after shooting the arrow. Seeing Fusong's serious expression, he said, "What's wrong? Is there any follow-up to the imperial examination case?"
Fusong shook his head and said, "No."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "The Red Luan Star in Fusong has moved...
Brother Jiu heard this and said: "The one with the blue flag or the one with the white flag, is it the Nian family or the other family that came first in the exam?"
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "None of them.
She told Zhang Tingzhan about Fu Song.
Brother Ninth also said happily: "Good news! I thought it was the two families who were interested in Fusong, but I didn't expect it was the Zhang family. Mr. Zhang has a good taste..."
Having said this, he thought for a while and said: "When the time comes, I will buy a hot spring village for Fusong, so that I can be filial to my father-in-law and uncle..."
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "The house I bought in Xianglanqi can be tidied up."
The annex of the Prince's Mansion only has two small courtyards, which is too narrow.
The house I bought there had three entrances.
Fusong watched the two of them singing and chatting lively, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Sister, brother-in-law, don't be in a hurry, we'll talk about it later... Miss Zhang is only in her prime."
In this way, even if the engagement and ceremony are completed, it will take two or three years.
Shu Shu said: "It's okay. Prepare first. It will take two or three years to do it quickly."
Brother Jiu was standing by and said: "There is nothing to say about the family tradition of the Zhang family. The prime minister's family is also decent, but there are more people in the family. Their rules are different from ours. It is 'parents are together, no family separation'.
At that time, there were not only a bunch of brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law, but also a bunch of nephews-in-law, but some of them were not in Beijing."
Shu Shu heard that this was wrong, looked at Brother Jiu with a faint smile, and said, "I think you have too many brothers-in-law?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "It's not the same thing. It's not because I'm worried that Fusong is impatient to entertain people."
Fusong's temperament looks cheerful, but he just looks cheerful.
He is not a lively person.
Fusong shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's fine, just like at home."
Shu Shu also knows the principle of striking while the iron is hot. After thinking about it, he said: "I remember Mrs. Zhang's sixtieth birthday is in early March, and the birthday gift here has not been sent yet. I will tell Mr. Zhang later that you can go and send it."
Fusong nodded.
That's not too surprising.
While several people were talking, there was movement outside.
It was Xiao Song who came in and said: "Fu Jin, Jiu Ye, brother, madam is here and has entered the house...Mr
After hearing this, Brother Jiu hurriedly said to Shu Shu: "Don't move, I will go and greet you!"
"Yeah." Shu Shu responded.
Brother Jiu and Fu Song went out.
Mrs. Jueluo strode in, followed by several women holding large and small bags.
"mother in law
"Eni
Brother Jiu and Fu Song bowed to meet him.
Jueluo stopped, nodded and smiled: "I've been looking forward to this day, and finally there is some movement."
I thought I would have to wait until Shushu was out of confinement before she could take care of this matter.
Unexpectedly, I got good news today.
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Fusong is studying with Bachelor Zhang these days, and he is interested in him."
Fusong pursed his lips with joy.
When Jueluo saw it, he took Fusong's hand and said, "Okay, okay."
Shu Shu was waiting impatiently in the house, so she opened the window and said, "Um, you are only thinking about marrying your daughter-in-law, and have you forgotten your precious eldest daughter?"
Jue Luo Shi rolled his eyes at her and moved his feet.
When he entered the room and saw Shu Shu's appearance clearly, he felt that Luo's lips were moving and he could not speak.
Shu Shu stepped forward and supported Jue Luo's arm, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the imperial doctor has agreed to check for pulse every day!"
Today’s pregnancy calculations are different from those of later generations.
According to the current calculation, it will be seven months by the end of February, which is almost thirty-one weeks.
According to the calculations of later generations, it has to be pushed back even further, to around thirty-three weeks.
Thirty-six weeks is considered full term.
It would be best if you can survive until mid-to-late March, but if you can't, it won't be a big problem until early March.
Jue Luoshi nodded, suppressed his anxiety, pointed to the large and small bags behind him, and said: "I just happened to make a few more sets of spring clothes, and there are two sets of red ones, which are the best for whitening the face..."
At this point, she said: "I've finished looking back at the photos. The formal visit will have to wait. I'll carefully inquire about the preferences of the people there before preparing."
Otherwise, if you just follow the crowd and prepare a few things, how can you show the man's sincerity?
Fusong is the real owner, but now there is no room for him to speak.
Brother Ninth Brother said: "It's not easy to ask Mr. Zhang, but it's convenient. The Zhang family's gifted residence is inside Xihua Gate, and they are all in the imperial city. Just let Gao Yanzhong ask later."
Jueluo Shi nodded and said, "That's just right."
Brother Jiu was also impatient and said to Fusong: "I'll go talk to Mr. Zhang, otherwise you can go give birthday gifts tomorrow to save yourself the trouble. I'm also preparing to study. When the matter is settled, study hard for half a month."
Book, go back to the palace to take the exam, guarantee the second place and fight for the first place..."
Fusong also thinks this arrangement is good.
Seeing Jue Luo Shi pulling Shu Shu, mother and daughter wanted to talk privately, so he followed Brother Jiu out.
Fusong was a little ashamed and said, "You shouldn't have done this."
He was afraid that it would affect his sister's pregnancy and make her have a hard time.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "That's good. I'll also find something for your sister to do. Otherwise, if I count the days day by day, I'm afraid she'll get tired of waiting."
After saying this, he waved his hand and said: "You go and read, I will go see Mr. Zhang."
The two said goodbye.
Brother Ninth went to the check-in room in the front yard, and Zhang Tingzhan was looking at Fusong's homework from yesterday, discussing two strategies.
One is to control floods, and the other is how to enrich the people in Zhili due to lack of rain and poor land production.
Because the imperial court has attached great importance to water control in recent years, the examination questions on water control are not new.
Fusong's explanation in this article is not outstanding, it can only be said to be above average. However, it lists various water control methods in history, as well as the human and financial resources behind those methods, as well as the comparison of effectiveness.
Zhang Tingzhan looked at it thoughtfully.
Brother Ninth came in briskly and saw Zhang Tingzhan looking thoughtful.
He leaned over and took a look, then said, "Is Fusong's homework bad?"
Only then did Zhang Tingzhan see him, he stood up hurriedly and said: "Nine Masters
Brother Jiu sat across from him and said, "You're welcome, just sit down. From now on, you won't be an outsider anymore."
Zhang Tingzhan was surprised that the news spread too quickly.
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Fu Jin was so happy that he sent someone to tell Dutong Mansion that his mother-in-law was also here...
Zhang Tingzhan said sincerely: "I am selfish and have taken a fancy to my elder brother."
Brother Ninth said: "Isn't this great? Let him go over tomorrow to deliver birthday gifts to the prince's palace and also pay his respects to the old lady."
Now that things have come to a point, Zhang Tingzhan has no choice but to excuse himself and says, "Then I will go back and report to Jiaci, and I will sweep the dust tomorrow."
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes, coughed slightly, and said: "I know that our scholarly family has strict rules, but we have to decide when. Even though our parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, it is not easy to marry blindly.
When the time comes, let the two children take a look, and if they fall in love, it will be perfect; if there is anything you don't like, don't force it, it won't affect our friendship."
Zhang Tingzhan couldn't laugh or cry.
Brother Ninth is only one year older than Fusong, so he is like an elder.
Also, aren't he and Brother Nine a normal superior and subordinate?
Why is there still love?
However, Zhang Tingzhan also understood the two meanings of Brother Jiu's words. Whether the marriage could be successful or not, the two children should be the main focus.
If one party doesn't like it, just give up.
This leaves some room for Fu Song.
Zhang Tingzhan is not upset either, because people are close to each other and far away.
Brother Ninth acted in an unconcealed way and kept his shortcomings outside.
In the afternoon, Zhang Tingzhan went home and reported the matter to his parents.
Even if the Zhang family revealed it first, the other party agreed to come to visit the Zhang family without saying a word. This is more sincere.
Not to mention, the elders over there also moved.
Zhang Ying nodded, looked at Mrs. Yao and said, "Just treat it as a normal meeting."
Mrs. Yao smiled and said: "Although I haven't met anyone yet, since he looks similar to Jiu Fujin, I can't be wrong about it."
She has never met Jiu Fujin, but she has heard of his name. She is said to be the beauty of Prince Fujin.
Zhang Ying shook her head and said: "You shouldn't judge people by their appearance."
Zhang Tingyu happened to be back from visiting friends and paid his respects to his parents, and listened to them all.
He looked at his eldest brother and said, "Is this what eldest brother means? The elders of the Yao family wrote before and asked about my little sister Xu Zi."
The Yao family are in-laws of the Zhang family, and both Mrs. Yao and Zhang Tingyu's first wife, the Yao family, who lost her last year, are from the Yao family.
The third sister of the Zhang family also married a child of the Yao family.
Although they are not from the same house, they are all related.
Zhang Tingzhan frowned after hearing this and said: "It's very rude. This generation has already married each other, so that's fine. If we bring up the matter of marriage again, it should be for the next generation!"
Zhang Tingyu was silent.
The Yao family has declined greatly in recent years. His father-in-law and two uncles passed away one after another, and the younger generation has not yet passed the exam.
Who would have thought that after the death of his father-in-law, the great Sikou family would be left without a successor within twenty years.
Zhang Tingzhan looked at Zhang Tingyu and said unhappily: "I know you care about the friendship between the two families, but your third sister's experience is enough!"
Zhang Tingyu said hurriedly: "My brother didn't dare, because he didn't expect that his father would choose a son-in-law for his little sister in the capital."
After all, they are not from the capital, and all their brothers and sisters of this generation were married to their old relatives in Tongcheng.
It’s the next generation. Now there is a nephew and daughter-in-law coming in. She is also from an old relative’s family.
