My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1825 Missed
The next day, the Ninth Prince went to the yamen.

Shushu sent Dongyue and Layue away, leaving only Baiguo behind.

Baiguo looked calm, holding his breath, his hand holding the handkerchief was very stiff, still revealing a bit of nervousness.

"Congratulations to the girl..."

Seeing her like this, Shushu couldn't help but make a joke.

Baiguo's face turned red, and he felt a little helpless.

I was very confident when I mentioned marriage to Shushu before, but now that it has come to fruition, I feel shy again.

"Fu Jin..."

"Gui Yuan asked me to be your matchmaker and propose marriage to you. I asked you to ask..."

Shushu didn't hesitate and said with a smile.

In the eyes of people nowadays, Guiyuan is not a good marriage partner. He has been the only son in two generations, with no elders above him and no brothers below him. His closest cousins ​​are from another family.

But a simple population means less worries, and Guiyuan's looks are good enough, so the children born in the future will not be bad.

Shushu looked at Baiguo with a smile.

Baiguorong has a long face, almond-shaped eyes, and a tall stature, a typical Manchu appearance.

If these two people get together and have children, their children will look the same.

Shu Shu couldn't help but say, "After we get married, we should have a baby soon, and then the baby can be a companion to the little prince."

"Fu Jin..."

When Baiguo knew the result, his face turned red and he turned around to leave.

Shushu said hurriedly, "Don't rush out. Guiyuan has gone to Shengjing to bury his father. When you have a rest, go home and ask your father and mother what they think. If they have no objection, then wait for Guiyuan to come back and ask him to go and wish your father and mother a happy new year..."

"Um……"

Bai Guo responded, knelt down, and said solemnly: "I thank Madam for your grace..."

Shushu waved her hands and said, "It's none of my business. It's just that you have good taste..."

On Qipan Street, the Ninth Prince got off the carriage and found Gui Dan following him on horseback.

"How come it's your turn to go out?"

The Ninth Prince was a little puzzled.

When he went out just now, he talked directly to the Tenth Prince and didn't pay attention to the people following him.

Gui Dan said flatteringly: "I am also a member of the guard class. I can't always be lazy. It is my duty to take turns."

Although Gui Dan was a bodyguard, it was mainly to help him advance in the future, and he usually took care of domestic affairs.

The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do I feel that you have ill intentions?"

Gui Dan hurriedly said, "I am innocent."

He was in no hurry to speak, and the Ninth Prince was in no hurry to ask either. He said goodbye to the Tenth Prince and entered the Ministry of Revenue.

He had finished reading the files of the Zhenglan Banner and now looked at those of the Xianglan Banner.

Only a few details of the Fusong family's ancestral assets were discovered.

The Ninth Prince copied it down and was very moved.

After all, he was the direct descendant of Prince Amin. Although his property was confiscated once when Amin was questioning him, it was returned to Enrong later.

Several generations of mistresses were descended from the wealthy and powerful Ula tribe leader at the time, and their dowries were also generous.

Unfortunately, only one in ten remains today.

Half of them were in Guo Luoluo's house, and the other half were in the mansions of dukes and generals of several cousins ​​in the Bordered Blue Banner.

The Ninth Prince wrote it all down.

None of the Guo Luoluo family's generation held official positions, only one was a captain.

The next generation's legitimate son died early, leaving no illegitimate sons, only illegitimate nephews.

The family is now in decline.

By the time the next generation fails to rise, the country will be completely ruined.

As the older generation of Fusong's cousins ​​died out, most of their descendants became idle members of the royal family.

The Ninth Prince felt that he would be very patient.

When the time comes, I will buy them back and save them for the children.

He didn't know yet that he was about to be "intercepted".

That afternoon, the chief master of ceremonies from the Eighth Prince's Mansion arrived at the Ministry of Revenue to handle the transfer of property.

The two farms and two shops of the Guo Luoluo family were transferred to the name of the Eighth Lady.

The Eighth Lady had been married for four or five years, and her parents were still adding to her dowry, which was bound to attract attention.

The chief emcee said, "Lord Guo Luoluo and his wife wanted to adopt a son, and they felt sorry for our wife, so they allocated some of the property to our wife's name."

Believe it or not, this is what is said to the outside world.

The Ninth Prince has been looking at the files there recently, and several of his Baitang'a are also running errands for him.

After hearing the news from the Eight Banners Division, Yidu Li inquired about the situation and then came to report to the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince frowned when he looked at those properties.

That was not the ancestral property of the Guo Luoluo family, but the several properties of the Fusong family that were embezzled by the grandfather of the Eighth Concubine.

The Ninth Prince looked at Yidu Li and said, "The people who came are from the Eighth Prince's Mansion, not from the Guo Luoluo family?"

Yi Duli nodded and said, "Yes, it was the chief emcee of the Beile Mansion. With the land deed, house deed, and Ming Deng's handwritten letter of supplementary dowry, the property was transferred directly."

The Ninth Prince was in a bad mood.

This property may be returned to the Guo Luoluo family one day, but now that it is in the name of the Eighth Lady, there is no need to worry about it anymore.

That is the property of the children’s great-grandparents!

The Ninth Prince was depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

Yiduli had dark circles under his eyes and his complexion looked unpleasant, looking a little listless.

The Ninth Prince laughed and said, "You don't take care of your body. I just prepared some deer blood paste. I'll give you a box later. You should take good care of yourself."

Yiduli got married last year and married the aunt of the Thirteenth Prince.

To be honest, he is one year younger than the Thirteenth Prince and is only sixteen this year.

Yiduli shook his head, his smile a little stiff, and said, "My father is not feeling well, and I am worried, so I have been on duty in his room recently."

The Ninth Prince thought of Yisan'a, the Grand Secretary who retired in the 38th year.

That is Iduri’s Amma.

Yiduli is a late-born son. There is a fifty-year age difference between father and son, and Yisan'a is nearly seventy years old.

The Ninth Prince stopped teasing and said, "I'll bring you some Korean ginseng tomorrow. It can be used to make soup to replenish qi, but it's not as dry as ginseng. You can give some to the old man."

"Thank you, Master Jiu..."

Yidu Li looked grateful and hurriedly thanked him.

His father was a Grand Secretary and his wife's dowry was generous, so the family naturally had no shortage of money.

After all, Korean ginseng is imported. The number of times Korean envoys visit Beijing every year is fixed, and the amount of Korean ginseng sold in the capital is also limited. The top-grade ones are directly collected by princes and nobles and cannot be circulated outside.

The Ninth Prince waved his hand and said, "Why are you being polite? It's not a big deal..."

Yiduli looked at him like a pitiful little boy, a prodigy of the Eight Banners who passed the imperial examination at the age of thirteen, but now he was just a Baitang'a and couldn't even become a rank of Biteshi. However, he was just watching.

He also has a father-in-law who is the Minister of War.

Now he works in the Ministry of Revenue, quietly. It is probably arranged by his family so that he does not attract attention.

When Yiduli left, the Ninth Prince was still somewhat angry.

At noon, when the Fourth Prince came over to have lunch together, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but talk about this.

"How can you give more dowry four or five years after the wedding? It would be fine if Eighth Sister-in-law had a good relationship with her parents, but they had already gone to court and they didn't agree to give up the property. How could they give it away when it was all good..."

At this point, the Ninth Prince paused and said, "This... Could it be that Eighth Brother has taken action against the Guo Luoluo family? Is he blocking their family, not allowing them to have an adopted son, or not allowing their children to fill the vacancies in the banner?"

Otherwise, why would the Mingden couple be so generous?

The Eighth Lady was not only their niece, but also their enemy who killed their son.

Their only son was not killed directly by the Eighth Lady, but he was killed indirectly.

The Fourth Prince did not answer the Ninth Prince's question, but pondered for a moment and said, "You have been paying attention to the files of the Eight Banners Bureau recently. Is that what you are looking into? The assets of the Guo Luoluo family?"

He looked disapproving and said to the Ninth Prince, "They are fine. They haven't offended you. Why are you targeting them?"

After all, he is the direct branch of the Guo Luoluo family. Mingdeng is the grandson of Princess Zhanhe and their cousin.

The Ninth Prince snorted and said, "Don't I know something unfair?"

As he spoke, he told the story of how, when the old man of the Guo Luoluo family was still alive, he joined forces with several of Fusong's cousins ​​to embezzle Fusong's family property.

The Fourth Prince frowned and said, "It happened decades ago. It is true that there is involvement, but it is not necessarily embezzlement."

When a family falls into poverty, property transfer is a common occurrence.

It goes without saying that Fu Song’s cousins ​​are the first ones to be consulted when it comes to property transactions.

As for the Guo Luoluo family, they are related to Amin's branch for generations.

Princess Zhanhe's eldest daughter-in-law is Amin's daughter.

Her granddaughter-in-law, Mingdeng's wife, is Amin's granddaughter.

The Ninth Prince said, "It was Neiduo who had a vicious heart and framed Fusong's grandfather. When he was a teenager, he was abducted and addicted to gambling. That's why the business was gradually disbanded. However, good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Neiduo used gambling to harm people, and his son also died from gambling."

But this retribution was only half.

The money is still safe in Guo Luoluo's home.

Only then did the Fourth Prince understand that the Guo Luoluo family had a connection with the Ninth Prince. They were his mother-in-law's cousin's family and also the enemy who destroyed his mother-in-law's family.

The Fourth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "No matter what the grudges were in the past, the Eighth Prince's Mansion took over the Guo Luoluo family's assets with a legitimate reason, but you are not suitable and you don't need these things, so don't ruin your reputation."

The Ninth Prince said, "You really think highly of me. How dare I rob someone's property? I just thought that if the Guo Luoluo family fell into decline, I would find an opportunity to buy back these properties."

Even if it's a bad thing, who would be stupid enough to do it in the capital?
The Eight Banners relatives are connected to each other.

Who knows, someone might report this to the emperor.

The Ninth Prince loves to complain, but he doesn't like being complained about...
