My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1811 Changed the Rules (Please give me a monthly ticket)

Shu Shu was a little surprised and asked, "Why don't you wait until before school starts to ask for permission?"

The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "No, in the early years, there were few grandchildren, and when they turned one, we could ask Khan Ama to name them. In recent years, there have been more grandchildren, so the request for permission has been extended."

This is because the name Huang Sun died.

However, there is no regulation nowadays on whether to circle the emperor's grandson's name after vaccination or before going to school.

Shushu felt a little bit of anticipation, but also a little bit of worry.

Just don't use the same names as those of the emperor's grandsons known to later generations, such as Hongshi, Hongli, Hongzhou, Hongchun, Hongming, etc.

Especially Hongli, if this name was circled, Shushu was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to call it out.

She thought of Niguzhu and decided to go to the study to look through the dictionary to see if there were any words suitable for girls with the character "日" on the radical.

This is to prevent Niguzhu from being unhappy when he grows up and finds out that his name is different from his brothers.

When the Ninth Prince arrived in front, he saw Gui Yuan there.

Seeing the Ninth Prince coming, he stepped forward to pay his respects.

It turned out that Guiyuan came to ask for leave from the Ninth Prince, intending to return to Shengjing to complete the burial of his grandfather.

The Ninth Prince said, "Why not wait until the spring? It will be too much suffering to travel now in the cold winter."

Gui Yuan said: "I have almost finished all the tasks before the New Year. It's just right that I can spare some time during this period. I will be back before the Lantern Festival."

The Ninth Prince said, "Then go ahead, pick a good carriage from the mansion, and bring a few more people..."

At this point, he remembered his previous plan, looked at Gui Yuan and said, "It's enough to be fat. When you go out, it's a good time to eat less and lose weight. If you get fatter, you may not be able to get on the horse."

Gui Yuan was originally a handsome young man, and he looked a bit fierce when he wasn't smiling. Now that he has gained weight, his eyes have become smaller, and he looks a lot friendlier.

Gui Yuan smiled and said, "This servant is happy and fat."

The Ninth Prince said, "Then take it easy and tidy up properly, so that you won't be looked down upon by others when you look back."

Gui Yuan: “…”

Seeing that he didn't respond, the Ninth Prince said, "You will be twenty-two next year. If you delay any longer, you will be a bachelor forever, and your Mafa will not be at peace down there. This marriage cannot be delayed any longer."

Gui Yuan heard that the Ninth Prince wanted to arrange a marriage for her.

He exhaled and said, "Master, I would like to ask you to help me find a matchmaker in the mansion..."

The Ninth Prince was stunned for a moment, then asked, "The palace is looking for a matchmaker. Has anyone found someone you like? The Xiaotang from the kitchen? Her status is not suitable, isn't it? She is a servant, and she has decided not to marry."

In the past few years since the mansion was established, there have been more than one person who has been thinking about Xiaotang. Some of them have been found in Shushu's life, and some have been found in the life of the Ninth Prince, but nothing has been done about it.

It’s not that the couple are unsympathetic, but Xiaotang has the right idea.

Then there were those who inquired about the situation. Most of them had some ulterior motives. Some of them were attracted by Xiaotang's status as Shushu's dowry maid, and some of them wanted to know that Xiaotang had the recipe book in her hand.

That recipe can be kept outside and passed down from generation to generation.

By then, I can open a restaurant with the support of the Prince's Mansion and pass on the business to my children and grandchildren.

Gui Yuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, it's Miss Baiguo beside Fu Jin."

The Ninth Prince heard this and frowned, "That doesn't seem like a good match. Her family is just an ordinary bondservant."

Gui Yuan looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "I know myself well. My family is small and poor, and we are originally from a small family. If I really want to marry into a wealthy family, I'm afraid that both of us will be uncomfortable."

The Guiyuan family is a branch of the Guoluo family. However, his grandfather was an honest and somewhat pedantic man. He did not hold any lucrative position in the Shengjing Imperial Household Department and lived a very poor life.

The Ninth Prince looked at Gui Yuan and said, "I was going to ask you about this in the red ribbon. Think about it carefully. Do you want a decent marriage or something else? When you have figured it out, tell me."

Gui Yuan nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you for thinking of me, sir. I don't have to worry about it. My aunt mentioned it before and wanted me to meet her niece, but I declined."

The auntie she was talking about was the current wife of Guo Luoluo, Gui Dan’s stepmother.

The life of the red belts in the capital is ordinary, not much different from that of ordinary banner families, but the number of vacancies in the Jurro family is not as large as that in the Banner family, and it is difficult for the children of the Jurro family to make a name for themselves, and most of them become street urchins.

He also noticed that the Ninth Lady was protective of her own people and was always nice to those around her.

He had no ambitions, and his future depended on the Ninth Prince, so naturally he hoped to have another relationship.

Proposing to marry Baiguo may not sound as nice as proposing to marry Princess Hongdaizi, but in the long run, it is a good thing.

Who knows what kind of upbringing and behavior the missing red-belt princess had, but Baiguo's behavior was taught by Fu Jin.

Not to mention others, let’s just talk about Gao Bin’s wife, who was also born as a maid by the concubine’s side. Now that the county magistrate’s grandmother is in office, the Gao family has nothing but praises for her when they mention her.

The relationship between them and the Prince's Mansion was good, and they never missed any of the three festivals and two birthdays. The Lady of the House also remembered her and asked people to prepare some things, including a portion for them.

With Gao Bin as an example, Gui Yuan felt more and more that when choosing a wife, the inner qualities were more important than the appearance.

The Ninth Prince and Gui Yuan had known each other since childhood, so they talked a few more words.

Seeing that Gui Yuan had an idea, he didn't say anything else, but he was thinking in his heart whether to arrange for Gui Yuan to go to Suzhou according to the original plan, or to replace him with someone else.

The Tenth Prince was already waiting in the carriage.

Seeing Ninth Prince coming up, he looked worried and asked, "Ninth Prince, are you worried about the hunting next time?"

The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "It's not that. I thought that Jiangnan is full of scholars, and they all come from aristocratic families. I originally planned to let Guiyuan go to Jiangnan..."

As he spoke, he told the Tenth Prince about Gui Yuan's choice of marriage.

The Tenth Prince thought for a moment and said, "Gui Yuan is a smart man. His wife's family is not always helpful. With the Ninth Brother here, his wife's family is just icing on the cake for Gui Yuan. But if they encounter someone who holds them back, it will be terrible."

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "That's true. Then I won't worry about it anymore."

Why is it difficult for Jurchen women to get married?

If the father and brother are promising, why can't they prepare a decent dowry for their daughter and sister?
In the final analysis, it was still because his father and brothers could not support the family. They all lived on the three taels of silver a month from the Jueluo clan, and they could not let go of their status as members of the royal family and were unwilling to find another way to make a living.

At noon, three servings of Laba porridge were delivered from the Prince's Mansion.

In addition to the salty and sweet Laba porridge made at home, there is also the Laba porridge presented by the palace.

There were also two servings of Laba porridge in the lunch box of the Fourth Prince’s Mansion.

The Ninth Prince looked at the table full of several bowls of sticky Laba porridge and asked the Fourth Prince to leave some for him and himself, and asked He Yuzhu to deliver the remaining portions outside.

He doesn't have many acquaintances in the Ministry of Revenue, just a few Bai Tang'a who run errands for him.

What the Fourth Prince left behind was the sweet Laba porridge from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

The difference from the Laba porridge in the palace is that although many of the nuts and dried fruits in it are still the same eight kinds, they have been changed and are not the common ones in the market, so they taste sweeter.

The Ninth Prince left a portion of salty Laba porridge, took out half a bowl, and recommended it to the Fourth Prince: "Try this, the Jiangnan way of eating it will definitely suit your taste."

The two brothers have often eaten together in the past two years. The Ninth Prince also roughly knows the Fourth Prince's taste. He does not like meat, but prefers vegetarian food.

This salty Laba porridge is a vegetarian porridge. It does not contain bacon, ham or other meaty ingredients. Instead, it contains mushrooms, fungus, green vegetables, gluten, etc.

The Fourth Prince looked at the salty porridge for a long time before he took a spoon to test it and finally ate half the bowl.

The Ninth Prince smiled and said proudly, "What else are you worried about with the things in our mansion?"

The Fourth Prince looked at him and said, "You are too idle. You spend all your time eating and drinking. Ask around in the capital, who would specially arrange for someone to go to Tianjin just to have food? How much manpower and material resources would this waste?"

The Ninth Prince snorted, "They receive salaries, so they can't just sit around all day. Let me tell you, eating and drinking are the most important things, who can live without them? With our status, if we worry about what to eat, then we're no longer a prince."

The Fourth Prince glanced at the Ninth Prince and thought he was really promising.

But it's really enviable to be able to do this kind of thing.

When the two of them had finished lunch and were drinking tea, the Thirteenth Prince arrived.

He came to look for the Fourth Prince and ask for help.

"I want to ask Fourth Brother if I can stay at your house for one night tomorrow night?"

Thirteenth Prince said.

Because he was named as an escort, the Thirteenth Prince will need to go to Haidian the day after tomorrow, just like the other princes.

He lived in the palace, and the palace gates were closed and opened at fixed times for fear that he would be late if delayed.

The Fourth Prince said, "Why not? Let your wife help you pack your luggage and we can go there directly tomorrow afternoon."

The Thirteenth Prince smiled and thanked him, then looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "I lost to you last month, Ninth Brother, but I'm not convinced. I want to have a good fight this time!"

The Ninth Prince said proudly: "Then let's compete. Don't say that I bullied you when the time comes!"

He has Chunlin on his left and Erhe on his right, so who is the Thirteenth Prince?

The Thirteenth Prince smiled and said, "Ninth Brother, you are still counting on the guards, but I am afraid your hopes will be dashed. Khan Ama said that this time we have to hunt on our own and count our own spoils, and that will be used to determine the winner."

"what?"

The Ninth Prince was surprised and asked, "Why did you change the rules?"

Wouldn't that be showing off one's weakness?

The Ninth Prince looked at the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince looked a little serious.

The Thirteenth Prince said, "I ran into the Seventh Brother this morning, and he said that he had gone to the Imperial Court."

The Ninth Prince's anticipation for the hunt immediately vanished.

I don’t want to go!

It’s so cold, are you going to compete with fourth brother for the last place?
The Ninth Prince's eyes flickered a little. He cleared his throat and looked at the Fourth Prince.

"Fourth brother, the Ministry of Revenue is very busy at the end of the year. How about I take over the job later?"

The fourth prince glanced at him and said, "You can't tell me, go tell Khan Ama!"

Is the imperial appointment a joke?

They have all been in the government for a few years and they don't think before they speak.

Since the emperor wants to take his sons with him, the sons should just go over obediently.

If you dare not obey, I'm afraid there won't be a next time.

The emperor has so many sons that he is not short of his sons' love.

The Ninth Prince has become obedient.

However, seeing that the Fourth Prince had a bad attitude, he secretly took note of it.

I have decided to take the second to last place!
I will start practicing bow and arrow when I get home today...
