Chapter 903: No need to follow the herd (monthly vote)
Jue Luo Shi frowned and said: "It is taboo to see each other in private without being drafted. These two families have gone too far!"
Although the old lady has a bad attitude, it is also because caring leads to chaos.
Mr. Jueluo also has a daughter, so he can understand the old lady's mood.
Ever since Shu Shu gave birth in early February, there was indeed an evil trend outside, saying that it was a good heir from Dong E's family.
But here in Dutong Mansion, there are only two daughters. One "concubine" was married to the seventh elder brother of Sunubeizi Mansion a few years ago.
Peng Chun's youngest daughter was drafted in the same year as Shu Shu and married the ninth elder brother of Sunubeizi Mansion.
Others went to the other rooms to inquire.
The first and third bedrooms have been dormant for many years and have been reduced to ordinary homes. However, now the second bedroom has come up again, and people are paying attention to the uniqueness of this room.
According to the rules of the Eight Banners, beautiful ladies of the Eight Banners must be selected by the palace before they can discuss marriage.
When the People's Republic of China was founded, the flag owner could choose the beauty of the left collar and coat of arms of the flag in his name, which was in line with the rules. However, now that he is selected, he cannot make the decision himself. He has to ask the emperor for an order to remove the flag.
There is a premise, you must choose among your own flags.
The second eldest member of Dong E's family is a member of the banner family of Prince Kang's Palace and has nothing to do with those two palaces.
The old lady said angrily: "One is fifty years old, and the other is in his forties. They are both half buried. Are you ashamed that you still miss the little girl?"
Jueluo Shi pondered: "Then what does sister-in-law mean?"
The old lady drooped her face and said: "Whether it's the side Fujin of Prince Zhuang's palace or the direct Fujin of Prince Xinjun's palace, we don't care about it. The two families we talked about getting married before have become cowards. It's just a marriage. If we turn back
There are other decent people, so you can’t just watch in vain..."
Jue Luo looked at the old lady and couldn't help but nod.
They are ministers, not of the same weight as Prince Zhuang and Prince Xin.
Although they are not under the same banner and have no subordinate relationship, those two are also princes and are not people they can stand up to.
What the old lady wants is nothing more than Brother Ninth. She hopes that Brother Ninth and his wife will come forward to support him.
I don't think the Luo family will take care of this.
"Sister-in-law, please be patient. The draft is still more than half a year away. I don't think we'll get there by then. The news has already changed outside..."
Jueluo Shi said slowly, "Even if there is no other news, the Eight Banners no longer have the rule of snatching brides..."
No one would dare to forcefully marry without nodding, so instead of asking Jiu Age and his wife to come forward to support him, it would be better to write a letter to Gali as early as possible to prevent Dang Ama from being greedy for money and promise his daughter out.
Thinking of this, Mr. Jueluo reminded: "After all, this important matter of marriage is the order of the parents. There is no chance that someone will come over to propose marriage to my nephew..."
The old lady looked even more unhappy when she saw Jue Luo Shi, and said: "Don't worry about our boss. I have already said it before. I will educate the two granddaughters, and they will not need to interfere in future marriages. After all, the two girls are not married now."
If you don't get better, it's because of Jiu Fujin's fault, so you can't bear to see the children fall into a bad situation..."
If she were a legitimate granddaughter, the old lady wouldn't have to worry so much.
The Dong E family is not an unknown surname, and the direct descendants do not have the principle of being a side Fu Jin or a concubine Fu Jin.
But the status of a concubine is still one level lower. The people who wanted to get married before were middle and lower-class clans such as the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion.
Therefore, these people had a lot of worries. When they heard that the palace was interested in proposing a marriage, they all withdrew on their own.
Jueluo Shi said patiently: "Our master is now the first grade, and my nephew is the second grade, but in the eyes of the prince and the county king, there is no difference. Even if we husband and wife can't bear it, what can we do?"
The best way is to wait for this evil wind to pass before discussing the marriage between the two of them.
Or before the draft, I asked the palace for favor and directly asked the palace to marry me.
At that time, there will also be descendants of the clans of Shangsanqi, as well as close clan clans such as Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Gong's Mansion.
The old lady's face became even more ugly when she heard Jue Luo's excuse. She looked at her directly and said: "Why is my cousin a younger brother, but my cousin is not a niece? Jiu Fujin can help keep an eye on Brother Fusong's marriage for two years.
Can't we just raise our hands and help?"
Jueluo's face also dropped, and she looked at the old lady and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't want to ask for a marriage from the palace, but she knows that this marriage is between the two families, and there is no reason to force a marriage..."
Otherwise, wouldn't it be easier to directly ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor for grace?
Who can guarantee that there will be a harmonious and beautiful marriage?
If the old lady had not involved Shu Shu, she would have felt that Mr. Luo was really not the kind of heartless person, and she would have pitied her nieces and nephews for being implicated. She would have looked after her among the children of the Zhenghongqi clan, and she would have asked Prince Kang Taifujin to be the matchmaker.
It was against the rules for the two princes to cross Prince Kang's house and look after the girl waiting for the draft in Zhenghongqi, so Prince Kang's house naturally didn't have to show dignity to them.
But the old lady put all the fault on Shu Shu, and Jue Luo had no intention of taking over everything.
It will be thankless at that time.
The old lady stood up and said: "Huh! You protect your daughter, and I will protect my granddaughter. When Jiu Fujin is out of confinement, I will ask myself..."
After that, she threw up her sleeves and left.
After all, he was a man in his sixties, and he was still an elder. Feeling helpless, Luo sent him out.
As soon as He Yuzhu got off the carriage, he faced the angry old lady.
He Yuzhu followed Brother Jiu. When he saw the old lady, he stepped aside.
The old lady glanced at him, got into the carriage and left.
Jue Luo took a long breath, looked at He Yuzhu and said, "What is Master Jiu's order?"
He Yuzhu bowed and said: "There are guests in the mansion today. Si Fujin and Jiu Gege are here. Someone is accompanying Master Fujin. Our master wants to come over and discuss with Madam about the betrothal gift for Brother Fusong. I want to ask if you are free today...
"
Jueluo Shi nodded and said, "Please invite Master Jiu to come over..."
He Yuzhu bowed in agreement and went back to deliver the message.
Brother Ninth left the Prince's Mansion and went to the Dutong Mansion.
"Sir, the old lady of the second room of the Dong E family went to the Dutong Mansion. She got angry for some reason and came out angrily. My wife sent her out, but she didn't get a good face..."
He Yuzhu reported what he had just seen in Dutong Mansion.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu couldn't help frowning and said: "Even if the age difference is big, aren't we the same person? It's too rude for this old lady to come to the house as a guest and show the host's face!"
He had a bad impression of the second room in Dong E's family.
He remembered clearly that after his wedding, he brought Fujin back to Ning, and heard Ga Li bragging at the banquet.
The flattering villain hugged the royal father's lap, moved three times a year, and yelled in front of the family elders, which was very embarrassing.
Besides, military merit is the most important thing in the Eight Banners. It is very shallow and ridiculous for a logistics officer in Gali to ignore an Eight Banner veteran like Peng Chun.
The key point is that the man has long been known as greedy, and he even got an errand to go to Shanxi.
Shanxi is considered rich among the northern provinces. If the Karma ceremony is over, wouldn’t it be like rats dropping rice in the vat?
This guy doesn't look like he's going to end well.
Brother Jiu curled his lips and put the matter away.
When passing by Gulou Street, he asked someone to stop and bought several pots of peonies and two baskets of cherries and mulberries.
Now is the season when peonies are blooming, and two seasonal fruits have just come onto the market.
When we arrived at Dutong Mansion, Brother Jiu got off the bus, and the people behind him followed him to move things.
Qi Xi was not there, so he also went to Yongding River.
Zhu Liang was there and came out after getting the news.
Looking at the big and small bags, Zhu Liang was also speechless.
My prince-brother-in-law is becoming more and more down-to-earth.
When he saw Jue Luo Shi, Brother Jiu became even more obedient and said, "It happened that peony was on the market. Fujin said that my mother-in-law loved this, so my son-in-law bought a few pots to make up for it. It's not a good variety..."
There is no woman who does not love flowers, not to mention that this is also the filial piety of the son-in-law.
Among them are two pots of purple-red ones, which look quite expensive.
With a smile on his face, Mr. Jueluo said, "It's beautiful. It's better than the few pots at home. It makes people happy when they look at it. Thank you, brother..."
When the guests and hosts were seated, Jueluo asked about Shu Shulai and said: "I have been making a fuss about taking a bath and washing my hair for a long time. The day arrived yesterday, and I am afraid I won't be able to delay it for a day. You don't have a headache or backache after washing, right?"
Brother Jiu recalled it carefully, shook his head and said: "No, I looked so energetic that I ate half a bowl more than usual... But my palms are still clammy and I still sweat easily..."
Jue Luo Shi nodded and said: "There is nothing we can do about this. We have to take care of it slowly. Now that the weather is getting hot, we can't use ginseng. We have to take our time to replenish our qi. We can eat red dates and longan every day."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Fu Jin also eats it himself. The snacks on hand now are red dates and walnuts, and he also eats pine nuts and longan..."
Jueluoshi glanced at Brother Jiu, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I have asked the imperial doctor privately. Shu Shu's current condition is not suitable for consecutive pregnancies..."
She has experienced this and knows that it is easy to get pregnant again within six months to a year after giving birth.
For example, two siblings, Shu Shu and Zhu Liang, are said to be two years apart, but one was born at the end of the year and the other at the beginning of the year. In fact, they are only fourteen months apart.
Whether it's a big blessing or a triple blessing, it's the same. Children are born secretly.
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my son-in-law has also asked the imperial doctor to understand the seriousness. Within three or five years, he does not plan to ask for any more..."
Mr. Jueluo nodded. Although he was still worried, he didn't say anything anymore.
Zhu Liang was nearby and glanced at Brother Jiu, feeling quite touched in his heart.
Or maybe this is the benefit of marrying the ninth elder brother.
Brother Ninth cherishes his sister more than anyone else.
If it were my cousin's side, no matter how much my aunt loved her sister, she would still put the heirs of the prince's family first.
When the time comes when my sister doesn’t give birth, someone else will naturally give birth to her.
The backyard of Ninth Brother's house is rare and clean. There is only one Gege, who is still an old man before his wedding.
Brother Jiu brought up the business and said, "I asked people to choose auspiciousness in Qintian Prison before. April 30th is a good day for Yinacai. I just don't know how my mother-in-law plans to prepare the betrothal gift?"
Jueluo had prepared a betrothal gift as early as last year, but he was afraid of using it and did not plan to use it. After getting the news this year, he started to buy a new one and already made another one.
She said: "Fusong means that there is no need to follow the crowd. The emperor is frugal, and we should not be extravagant. Besides, the Zhang family comes from a scholarly family. When the time comes, the betrothal gift will be heavy, and the dowry will also be difficult. So the betrothal gift will be a medium one, twenty
Four loads, eight boxes of jewelry, eight loads of clothing materials, four loads of literature and toys, four loads of pastries..."
When the Zhang family prepares the dowry later, forty-eight is enough, or fifty-four is fine.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's fine, there's no need to embarrass others, just benefit from it..."
