Chapter 1199: A Succession of Happy Events (I)
Prince Yi's Mansion, upper room.
The maids and daughters-in-law all sent out, and only the two cousins, Zhao Jia and Thirteen Fujin, were talking in the room.
Zhao Jiashi took the hand of the Thirteen Fujin, and his face was already showing a look of pleading: "Good sister, how can the fourth sister be good about this?" Stay in the palace, stay in the palace...... In case, in case ......"
As she spoke, her tears had fallen.
In the early years, because of his envy of Cao Jia's and Cao Yi's scenery, he also thought about letting the fourth sister find a "noble son-in-law" and have a good scenery; Even when she asked Thirteen Fujin about her daughter's draft before, she was still lucky, thinking that even if she couldn't point it to the prince and the county king as her concubine, it would be good to point it to Baylor and Beizi as his wife.
After sending her daughter to the palace and her daughter being left in Chuxiu Palace, Zhao Jia's family didn't think so. It wasn't until she heard about it a long time ago, and she heard that the placement of the beautiful girls who stayed in the Chuxiu Palace over the years, in addition to assigning the clan, also had to fill the harem, that she regretted not falling.
Entering the palace looks like a beautiful scenery, seeing that the emperor is already nearly half a hundred years old, which mother's original intention is to push her daughter into the fire pit.
I didn't sleep for two nights, and finally I couldn't stay up, so I begged Prince Yi to go to the mansion in person.
Seeing his cousin's snot and tears, Thirteen Fujin couldn't cry or laugh.
Looking at the meaning of the cousin, she was worried that the fourth sister would be left in the palace to wait for the emperor. It's not that the fourth sister is bad, but the posture of the fourth sister will not be in the eyes of the emperor.
She had already spoken in front of the queen and mentioned her niece.
Thinking of this, Thirteen Fujin was slightly stunned. It's really too much housework in the palace and neglecting the draft. It's not the queen who is in charge of the draft now.
If the queen forgets about her invitation, it is not impossible that things will change.
Although she was a little worried in her heart, she comforted Zhao Jia's family, only saying that the primary election was only now, and everything was inconclusive, and asked her not to make any noise, and carefully spread out any bad words, which would affect the fourth sister's family affairs.
Then, he mentioned two sentences of the practice of marriage in the palace in recent years, even if he stays in Chuxiu Palace, he may not be a concubine or a nobleman, as well as a brother.
Several of the emperor's younger brothers and the two princes, the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother, have all reached the age when they should get married, and the main side of Fujin is empty.
If it weren't for that, there would be no left of these show girls in the palace this year.
When Zhao Jiashi heard this, his eyelids couldn't help but raise. The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother are popular princes, and their daughters can't count on them; The few little brothers left by the first emperor, most of their biological mothers are Han girls, and their backgrounds are not high, but when they become adults, they are also shells. If the daughter can really be a Baylor and Mrs. Beizi, she is the emperor's brother and daughter-in-law, and she will be a concubine with the queen, wouldn't it be decent.
Immediately, she smiled and said: "Oh, these little brothers left by the first emperor, no matter what others do, those twenty-one ones are still related to the Cao family." It's your eldest niece's cousin. I heard that before she entered the palace, she also went around in the Changfang Mansion. ”
When the Thirteen Fujin heard this, he was secretly annoyed.
Because her cousin entrusted the affairs of her niece to herself, she made a special trip to pay attention to this matter and selected two suitable children in the clan, one is the side branch of Prince Xian's mansion, the eldest son Baoying of the Zhenguo Mansion; One is the third son of Prince Yu, and the current half-brother of Prince Yu Guangling.
These two people have seen thirteen blessings, they are similar in age to the fourth sister, and they have not picked out their appearance and character. She was also carefully selected among the children of the clan.
The former will inherit the government of the country in the future, and the reduction of the title is also the auxiliary government; Even if the latter does not know how to seal the country, he is born as a prince and concubine, and the worst is the general of the Zhenguo, although it is not as good as the former, it is better to be able to open a house when he becomes a family, and there are no serious elders on it, and he is the master of his own house.
No matter which one is pointed out in the end, it is a good match.
No, she had already spoken to the queen, and Zhao Jia's side listened to the wind and rain.
She smiled solemnly and said, "Sister, I'm not afraid that my niece's identity is not enough, and she will become a side Fujin and Gege?" ”
Zhao Jiashi was stunned and said, "Where is it not enough?" Her second brother is now promoted to the general army, and the other two brothers are also officials, and your aunt and cousin are the prince Fujin, where can they compare to those girls from Manchurian noble families? ”
Thirteen Fujin was silent, picked up the tea and ate two bites.
In terms of power, the Cao family is not bad now, but it is bad at the root.
In the final analysis, it is not full of people.
Marriage with the clan is not in the way, but marriage with the royal family is not enough.
Seeing that the Thirteen Fujin were silent, Zhao Jiashi said cautiously: "Why don't you bother your sister to work hard?" ”
The Thirteen Fujin picked the corners of his mouth and said: "The marriage match of the prince's elder brother must be determined by the emperor, and the queen may not be the master, let alone my clan Fujin...... I'm too busy with this...... Besides, even if it can be of little help, I, as an aunt, am reluctant to send my niece to a side room. If the cousin wants to find a son-in-law with a high background, it is better to find someone else. ”
Zhao Jiashi was speechless when he heard it, if the Thirteen Fujin couldn't make any effort, others couldn't speak.
After living for such a long time, she finally had some eyes, and said busily: "I'm just verbose, with the help of your own aunt, where is there anything wrong with the fourth sister's family?" ”
Although she replied, the Thirteen Fujin was impatient to talk to her again, and there happened to be two housekeepers who invited them to see them, so they served tea and sent them off.
Zhao Jiashi got into the carriage, thinking of the appearance of the Thirteen Fujin first cordial and then detached, and knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he regretted it in his heart, and said to himself: "I am really blinded by lard, and I haven't picked up the sesame seeds yet, so I am worried about watermelon......
She has the heart to make amends to the Thirteen Fujin, so it can be seen that it is not like running to the palace.
When she returned to the mansion, she gave up her body and prepared a thick gift, asking the fourth wife Chunhua to take it, and then went to Prince Yi's mansion to ask for peace for the Thirteen Fujin.
Seeing that his cousin sent his daughter-in-law and sent a heavy gift, Thirteen Fujin couldn't cry or laugh.
Although she has a lot of complaints about her cousin's "Delong Wangshu", she also pities her for loving her daughter. The Thirteen Fujin ordered to prepare a similar return gift, and gave Chunhua a pair of bracelets with gold and eight treasures before sending them off.
Zhao Jia's listened to his daughter-in-law's reply, and knew that Zhao Jia's had lost his anger, so he was relieved...... * Here in the Xifu of the Cao family, not long after the appointment of the left house, Wei Wenjie, the son of the Wei family, got married.
Originally, according to his original intention, he wanted to wait until next spring to try before marrying.
Wei De's wife felt sorry for her niece, and was worried that Wei Wenjie would try to be unlucky, and her niece would be bad luck when she entered the door, which would affect the relationship between the young couple, so she only said that the delay was not good, after all, Wen Jie still had a younger brother who had already been married. His brother is delayed, and his younger brother will also be delayed, so be careful to complain.
Wen Jie thought that his aunt and sister-in-law were also looking forward to marrying him as soon as possible, so he didn't say much, and made a big decision in early August, setting the wedding date on the second day of October.
Because Mancheng is a few days away from the capital, in late September, the Wei family's wedding team arrived in the capital.
Wei De was an official and couldn't leave, so he asked his son to enter Beijing on his behalf. The bride is an orphan girl, and for the sake of family decency, Wei De wrote to Jiangning again, looking for the elders of the two houses in the He family to go north to marry.
Mrs. Yao and her daughter-in-law, He, also followed north. The difference is that the He family is a dowry, accompanying his niece and waiting for auspiciousness; Mrs. Yao lived in the Wei house, and as the elder of the Wei family, she helped Gui Niang take care of the marriage.
After making a fuss, the happy event was finally completed, and the daughter of the He family, Lingzhi, married into the Wei family and became the eldest wife of the Wei family.
After getting married, in front of the tablet of Wei Xin and his wife, He followed her husband to make tea, and all the rituals were completed.
Immediately, Wei Wenjie invited Gui Niang to take a seat and asked He to give her tea.
Gui Niang refused again and again, but she couldn't push Wen Jie, and finally stood and accepted He's tea.
While eating tea, she took out a bunch of keys, and asked someone to take the account book, and handed over all the housework to the Ho family.
Because the furnishings of the new house are He Lingzhi's dowry, I can't see anything; On this side of the middle hall, the tablet of Wei Xin and his wife is enshrined, and they only feel solemn.
After seeing the brother-in-law and sister-in-law, returning to the new house, and reading the account books, He Lingzhi knew about the wealth of the Wei family.
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, she only said that the Wei family was a young and orphaned house, and the elders of the family were not kind, so they went north to join the godparents, how could they still save these belongings?
Compared with the Wei family's background, isn't his dowry too shabby? Although there is floating wealth left by his parents, as well as the help of his aunt and uncle, he has only made up thirty-two lifts.
He Lingzhi groped for the account book, pursed his lips, and felt a little uneasy.
The little brother-in-law is also married, although the other party is an orphan girl like himself, but he is raised in a large family, if he enters the door with a dowry, and compares his eldest sister-in-law to him, how can he deal with himself?
She was thinking nonsense, so Wei Wenjie entered the door, stood up, and said softly: "Cousin......"
Wei Wenjie glanced at the account books and said with a smile: "My aunt has bothered our brothers and sisters for all these years, and I have been talking about resting for a long time, and I will have to worry about housework in the future." ”
He Lingzhi smiled shyly and said, "It's all about concubines." ”
Wei Wenjie saw that she was gentle and submissive, and treated Aunt Gui respectfully, he was happy, and said with a little distress: "You just entered the door, you should be familiar with it before you start, but the second brother is going to be hired, you are the eldest sister-in-law, you can handle this matter, and the second brother and sister look more decent, but you are too tired." ”
From sending people under the fence to being a grandmother, where will He Lingzhi complain?
She shook her head and said, "I'm not tired, I'm just afraid that the concubine has just arrived and just taken over the housework, so it is inevitable that there will be negligence and shortcomings." If that's the case, please don't blame my cousin. ”
Seeing that although his wife looked weak, her words were responsible, Wei Wenjie felt more and more pity, pointed to the account books, and said, "You don't have to worry about housework." Although there are many account books, there are only two books that need to be stared at, and the other few books have been read, so it is good to know in their hearts, so there is no need to stare at them. ”
When He Lingzhi heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and raised his head and said, "Cousin, what is the reason for this?" ”
Wei Wenjie flipped through the account book, picked out the account book marked with the words "A, B, C, D", and said: "This label 'A' is the property in my name, the 'B' book is the net worth of the second brother, and the 'C' is the dowry of the younger sister." You also know that in our family, in addition to our three brothers and sisters, there is also a sister who has been out of the cabinet, and a younger brother who has passed to the third room. Whether it is the elder sister who has left the cabinet or the younger brother who has passed the other room, it is the blood and blood of my father, and I, the eldest son, cannot ignore it. Therefore, the father's family property was also left to them, which was in the 'Ding' book. The other two, the 'sub' book is the general ledger of the public middle school, and the 'ugly' is the income and expenditure account of the public middle school......"
