My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 580 Nosy Shu Shu (rolling to ask for monthly votes)

The next day, Shu Shu picked up four more princesses from Nantou Suo.

We have agreed long ago that the reception will be finished early and good morning.

After the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Shengjia will come with the Empress Dowager, and the Fifth Elder Brother, his wife, and Jiu Gege will also follow, and they will act in a conspicuous manner.

Small goldfish are all ready-made.

I also found all the horn lanterns of the twelve zodiac signs.

Compared with taking care of the seventeenth and eighteenth brothers, entertaining guests today is much easier.

The oldest of the Geges is fifteen, and the youngest is 11 years old.

A game like catching small goldfish is enough after playing it for a while.

As for the three little ones, they were carried out once to see a visitor and then asked to be carried back.

Due to the age difference, we can't play together.

If you stay in the main room, you will have to hang around them.

Brother Ninth met his nieces, left his house, and went to the House of Internal Affairs in the garden to check in.

He was going to see the drawings of the West Garden.

Now my friend Agoduo, who is studying in Wuyizhai, lives in a crowded place in Hechisi.

It is necessary to choose an open space in the west garden and build a few more yards.

Shu Shu entertained her four nieces and asked Ging Guo to prepare several boxes containing rice beads of various materials.

Shu Shu also accompanied several little princesses to practice simple bead embroidery skills.

Bead embroidery is not difficult, as long as you know how to needle and thread, it is easy to get started.

"You are getting older. You will be useful in a few years. Don't waste your time doing needlework. You might as well mix in bead embroidery. Anyway, it is all from your heart. You are the emperor and your status is noble. If anyone really dares Treating you like an embroiderer, just ask others to slap her in the mouth..."

Shu Shu said.

The eldest princess is 15 years old, and the second princess is fourteen. They are about to start preparations for the draft.

Even in the royal family, candidates for direct marriage must also be considered.

But it will take two or three years to wait until the age of eighteen or nine before we officially get married.

If you marry young, you may get married at sixteen or seventeen, there is no fixed number.

Brother Jiu mentioned to Shu Shu that these little princesses and the eldest brother all plan to marry to the capital. Even if they can't all marry to the Eight Banners, they will choose their candidates from the sons of Mongolian princes who work in Beijing.

Although "nurturing Meng" is a national policy at the moment, everyone knows that it is not easy to marry far away, and each family has its own plans.

The three-gege and the four-gege were still young and didn't think anything of it after hearing this, while the older ones and the two-gege were a little shy.

Shu Shu looked at the four sisters. They also lost their mothers when they were young. However, because of the presence of their two older sisters, Da Gege and Er Gege, Third Gege and Fourth Gege were still innocent and well-protected.

It is popular for clan daughters to marry late, so the marriage between Sangege and Sigege probably took place 47 years later.

The 47th year of Kangxi's reign was a watershed.

Before that, Prince Zhi was the eldest son of the emperor, second only to the crown prince. When his daughter got married, she would not be given a title according to her father's title, but would be given a high title.

The candidate for the prince's son-in-law was also selected from the descendants of the Mongolian Taiji and the Eight Banners princes.

Such a family has a deep foundation and will be able to get by on the big picture no matter what changes they encounter.

The three and four grids are ranked low. If the marriage is after the "one-wasted prince", there may be many shortcomings.

Regardless of whether they marry first or second, and regardless of their title, with the deposing of Prince Zhi, the four sisters will face all the storms ahead.

Shu Shu hopes that the four sisters can be more tenacious and go through ups and downs instead of withering in their youth.

The Qing Dynasty clan has seen many princes and princes rise and fall over the past few generations, and the married clan daughter is not involved.

If you can maintain your temperament, even if you no longer have your natal family, you will still have the status of the royal granddaughter and a title. Who dares to bully her?

Da Gege looked at Shu Shu, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Aunt, in the past few years, people outside have criticized the clan daughters for being tough. In recent years, most of the Eight Banners Women honored every year are clan daughters and Jueluo daughters, who are the grandmothers from the palace. Mom, you also teach us sisters to keep their temper and be meek..."

Shu Shu and Mrs. Bo had talked about it in private because of the Eight Banners' duty to show women's chastity.

The court was suspected of going too far.

The former flag lists 21 women from the Eight Banners, 17 from Manchuria, one from Mongolia, and three from the Han army.

Among the 17 people in Manchuria, more than half are clan daughters and Jueluo girls, and the rest are mostly clan wives.

You know, because of the need to recuperate and recuperate, the imperial court actually does not respect observing integrity.

The number of chaste women in the other provinces combined is only a dozen in a year, an average of one in each province.

This rule of "keeping integrity" put reins on the clan daughter and the clan wife.

The prince's palace outside was okay, but the education of the princess in the palace was already Confucian.

Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "National law is greater than family law, and national etiquette is greater than family etiquette. In addition to legal etiquette, there are also human feelings. I don't know what other people think about it, but the king's love for your sisters is well known. Your meekness is Be docile at home and be docile to your elders, but you are the emperor’s grandson and the prince’s direct descendants, and you cannot be disrespected..."

Da Gege seemed to understand.

Er Gege stood by and asked in confusion: "Does anyone really dare to bully the clan daughter?"

Shu Shu said: "Once I have established myself, I am no longer afraid. I am afraid that I will be fooled by the slaves. I believe in the 'three obediences and four virtues' and observe the etiquette of elders and children. I put aside the dignity..."

"You must remember that you are noble. Apart from the princesses, your bloodline is the most noble among the princesses..."

"After you leave your parents' home, if others follow the rules, you should be polite and courteous; if others rely on your elders and show off your elders, then you must maintain your identity to avoid being bullied and making others laugh at the royal family..."

Si Gege hummed and said: "If anyone dares to bully us, let me, Amma, whip him when the time comes!"

Shu Shu looked at the four princesses and said: "We only rely on the county king. What if the princesses grow up and the county king gets old?"

Si Gege was startled, obviously not thinking about this problem.She hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let Hongyu take action?"

Shu Shu said: "Why don't Si Ge Ge want to do it himself?"

These four sisters all had short lives. It would be too coincidental to say that they all died of illness.

Shu Shu felt that it was more like her mother's family died of depression after an accident.

Si Gege's eyes widened, obviously not thinking about this answer.

Sangege was standing by and said, "Wouldn't that look too powerful? Wouldn't it make people laugh?"

Shu Shu said: "Isn't it even more embarrassing to be bullied and shunned by others despite being of high status? When others talk about it, they will say that they are cowards and cannot be promoted, unlike Princess Zhijun's palace..."

The four little princesses were silent.

If the four of them really wanted to do that, not to mention anyone else, only Amma would be furious.

Da Gege has figured it out, and Shu Shu wants to give some advice.

She thought that this kind of "preparation for a rainy day" was because she was worried that their sisters would marry far away, so she said with gratitude: "Thank you Aunt Ninth..."

Shu Shu looked at the princesses and said with a serious expression: "Anyway, you have to remember that your dignity comes not only from your Amma and Enie, but also from your identity as the royal granddaughter. Preserving your own dignity is also a matter of safety." The dignity of the court and the royal family..."

This was said solemnly.

Several princesses stood up and listened.

Shu Shu didn't know if it had any effect, but she still wanted to give a few pointers.

The four sisters are not required to listen to this, but just keep it in their hearts so that they can have a reason to support themselves when they are in trouble.

In the afternoon, Shu Shu sent several princesses back to the head office. In addition to the small goldfish and small lanterns, there were also makeup mirrors and enamel buttons prepared in advance.

Mrs. Zhang personally came out to welcome Shu Shu, held Shu Shu's hand, and said with gratitude, "Thank you, sister-in-law..."

She, the stepmother, and her stepdaughters were about the same age, and they were polite to each other.

She knew in her heart that the princesses were old and the number of years they could stay in the house was limited.

But such a big girl is only at home, and she looks pitiful.

Shu Shu was happy to take her nieces over, and Ms. Zhang was only grateful.

Shu Shu said: "You're welcome..."

After sitting for a while, Shu Shu left.

Several little princesses are in the back room, big princess is here.

The few goldfish I brought back are placed in the fish tank here.

Sangege and Sigege were still playful and felt that everything prepared by their aunt's house was good.

The goldfish, the zodiac lanterns, the mercury hand mirrors and the enamel buttons are all the same, but they are all different, which shows that they are thoughtful.

It's just that Da Gege is the older one. Before Jifu Jin entered the family, he also took care of the internal affairs and account books of the county and prince's palace, so he knows more.

In front of her sisters, she looked gentle and tolerant and said nothing.

It was only when she rested at night, lying on the kang, thinking carefully about the scene during the day, and remembering Shu Shu's words again, that she felt frightened.

This doesn't sound like a matter of caressing...

Mongolia is a vassal of the Qing Dynasty, and only those who marry with the imperial court are cautious. How can they bully their eldest daughter?

Amma and the prince are fighting...

Da Gege was a little distracted.

"Miss..."

There was a rustling movement at the door, and Er Ge Ge, who lived in the west room, pulled on her shoes and hugged the quilt and came over.

I came here to sleep with Da Gege.

Da Gege moved a place for her and let her get on the kang.

The girl who was on night duty in the second room also got up, prepared the bedding for the two masters, and then put down the curtains and went out.

"Sister, why are Auntie Ninth talking about this? Did you hear something and just tell us this? Isn't it referring to someone with a bad temper?"

Er Gege thought more simply, thinking that there was news about her eldest sister's marriage.

It is true that they are clan daughters, but whether it is Mongolia or a noble family of the Eight Banners, there are other clan daughters, including the eldest princess and the princess.

If that happens, the elders will worry that they are too soft-tempered and will be bullied in the future, which is normal.

Da Gege did not mention his worries and said: "It may not be for this reason. Maybe it is because we are worried that we have too good tempers and will be fooled by the people around us, so we mentioned it again and again..."

Er Gege hugged Da Gege's arm and said, "Aunt Ninth is so kind..."

After a while, she continued: "It would be better if Eni was here..."

Da Gege felt sour in her heart.

They are four sisters, all next to each other in age.

It would be too difficult for everyone to marry into the Eight Banners. Last year, Amma was reprimanded for the disaster relief work in Xiong County.

Da Gege let out a long sigh. If she really needed someone to caress her, she hoped it would be her eldest sister...

It's just that we will be far away from the capital by then, so if something unexpected happens, we won't be able to take care of my sister and brothers.

Where are the Mongolian Taijis in the capital?
Like Niu Hulu's eldest daughter, she married Mongolian Taiji, but she was still able to settle in the capital...
