My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1829 What goes before takes effect
Hearing the noise outside, they knew that the Ninth Prince had arrived, and both Lady Bo and Lady Jueluo stood up.

"Greetings to you..."

The Ninth Prince came in and bowed a thousand times.

Jueluo also squatted down: "Greetings, Lord Beile!"

The Ninth Prince hurriedly supported him and said, "You're welcome."

Shushu supported her waist, stood behind the Ninth Prince, and stepped aside.

When Niguzhu saw them coming, he also got up from the ground, walked quickly to Shushu and took her hand.

Shu Shu looked down at the little guy.

Niguzhu raised his head and said, "Don't get tired, Enie."

Mrs. Bo looked at Shushu and also expressed disapproval.

She is so heavy that she really shouldn't be so willful.

Not only are they worried about the frosty and slippery roads, they are also mainly worried that it is cold outside and pregnant women have hot bodies, so they might catch a cold accidentally.

Shushu stepped forward and said, "Master Jiu came back to have dinner with Enie, but Amu had the heart to let me eat alone in the main courtyard?"

Everyone sat down again.

Mrs. Bo glanced behind the two of them.

"You two came to eat, why didn't you bring the eldest and second princes with you?"

Shushu and the Ninth Prince looked at each other.

This……

I came here in a hurry and didn't think about it for a moment.

The Ninth Prince ordered Bai Guo, "Go and fetch the two princes to come and pay their respects to Madam."

Jueluo hurriedly stopped her, "It's cold outside, there's no need to bother the two young princes. I'll go check on them later."

The Ninth Prince said, "Just dress warmly. I should have come to pay my respects to you."

Baiguo had already lifted the curtain and went out to meet someone.

The Ninth Prince remembered Gui Dan's worries and said to Jueluo, "I was thinking of asking you about it during the New Year. What a coincidence that you are here today. I will ask you about the second princess in the Nuoluobu Mansion. I wonder if you have met her?"

Jueluo thought for a moment and shook her head, "I haven't heard of that. The second princess hasn't reached the age of marriage yet. They will have to wait until she's fifteen before they can arrange to see her."

There is still an older princess who is not engaged, and it is not easy for others to ask about the second princess.

Besides, clan daughters marry late nowadays. They are proposed for marriage at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and get married at eighteen or nineteen.

But thinking about the recent developments, Jueluo said, "A lot of people have been asking about the princesses of Shuncheng Palace recently. I wonder if anyone has asked about the general's palace. I'll ask the general's wife when I meet her during the New Year..."

At this point, she paused and said, "Who are you asking for, Master Jiu? What is the man's family background?"

I want to tell Xiao Si that it is Norobu's eldest daughter, and the ninth prince mentioned the second daughter, so they will be relatives in the future.

The Ninth Prince said, "It's not someone else, it's my cousin Gui Dan, the eldest son of my uncle. He is currently serving as a third-class guard in the Beile Mansion, but he also has a hereditary position as a Zuoling."

Jueluo was surprised and said, "This...isn't the age appropriate?"

If he could be the Ninth Prince's cousin, he would be older than the Ninth Prince, and the age difference between him and the Second Princess is not just three or two years.

The Ninth Prince said, "I said that about him, too, but he asked me to help him find out, saying that he had run into General Nuo, and that he seemed to be a good person."

Although Norub was the son of a prince, he was only a bastard born to a concubine.

He lost his father at the age of three, and his younger brother, who was half a year older, inherited the title.

The story of the boy prince of Shuncheng County started with Le Erjin.

Norobu lived with his younger brother and stepmother since he was a child. After he came of age, he separated from them. He had no family property and his title was the second-to-last rank among the royal family, General Fengguo.

He had no official position until he was in his fifties, when he was appointed as a royal guard.

Things have only gotten better in recent years.

Jueluo said, "Then I will ask around for Lord Beile. I wonder if the General's Mansion has any other arrangements."

The Ninth Prince said, "Then I'll trouble you to take care of it."

Shushu was more familiar with Guidan, and spoke about Guidan in detail to Lady Bo and Jueluo.

"Gui Dan is not only Jiu Ye's cousin, but also Jiu Ye's favorite. When he was a teenager, he relied on the fact that he was a cousin of the prince and was very arrogant. In recent years, he has changed and seems to be behaving in a decent manner. He used to be Fu Song's assistant and knew how to be filial to the Empress in the palace. He also knew how to control the servants of Guo Luoluo's family and not cause trouble for Wu Ye and Jiu Ye."

It is difficult for a daughter of a royal family to marry, and it is even more difficult for a daughter of a royal family without a title to marry

Because there is no decent dowry.

Even if the noble families are related to the royal family through marriage, they will prefer the daughters of the royal family with titles. By then, their sons will be the prince consorts and will directly have ranks and salaries.

If Gui Dan still had her original personality, Shu Shu would definitely not approve of this marriage.

Gui Dan has changed a lot and realized the pros and cons. This marriage is worth considering.

Guo Luoluo's family was a new rich family, and several of their old relatives were bondservants. In the past few years, they were almost all wiped out.

If they had found a decent and less troublesome in-law, the Guo Luoluo family would have behaved differently in the future.

Jueluo glanced at Shushu.

She is not senile yet.

Wasn’t it Gui Dan who was thinking about Shushu Silver Shop back then?

Both of their lawsuits were brought to the Beicheng Bingmasi.

However, his daughter did not suffer any loss. Not only did she save her own silver shop, she also earned another silver shop.

Teenagers are at the age of being outspoken, and Guo Luoluo's family was blessed and became the first family to be promoted because of their daughter.

Jueluo had no intention of bringing up old grudges.

She didn't want to be a matchmaker, she just wanted to help pass on the message.

That is the niece of the Lady Bo. The Ninth Prince asked himself to pass the message instead of asking the Lady Bo to help pass the message because he did not want to use his power to pressure others.

Marriage is the union of two families.

If one family has a daughter, hundreds of families will seek her out.

If the General's Mansion is willing, the two families can meet each other; if they are not willing, they can politely refuse and the matter will be over.

With the Governor's Office mediating, the General's Office does not have to worry about offending the Ninth Prince by refusing this matter.

While he was talking, Baiguo brought Fengsheng and Akdan over.

Both of them were held by the nanny and were dressed warmly.

When the outer clothes and hats were taken off, two little princes with facial features that somewhat resembled the portrait were revealed.

Strange to say.

When the two brothers were young, they looked distinct but not very similar.

But as they grew up and their eyes became more mature, they do look 50% similar.

Even strangers could tell they were brothers.

Jueluo's breathing became lighter as she watched.

When I see my son, I feel upset; when I see my grandson, I feel a different mood.

"Ama, Ene, Mama..."

The two younger brothers called out in unison, and seeing that Jueluo looked familiar, they were not quite sure how to recognize her.

The Ninth Prince ordered: "Quickly pay your respects to Guo Luoma Ma..."

"Guoromamaan..."

The younger brothers then kowtowed together.

Jueluo had already stood up and supported them with one hand each.

"Brother, you are also safe..."

Niguzhu was not honest. He came over and said, "Big brother, second brother, we are having lunch today..."

Fengsheng smiled and nodded, while Akdan looked at Shushu with some concern.

Akdan loves to sit next to Shushu. Every time the mother and son meet, he always sits next to Shushu.

Aunt Qi gave repeated instructions. He remembered that his father was weak and easily tired.

Seeing this, Shushu comforted him, "Enie is fine, not tired..."

Akdan glanced at Shushu's belly and said, "Brother Shen..."

Shushu nodded and said, "Yes, my brother is heavy, so I'll sit down. When my brother comes home later, I won't be tired anymore."

Akdan looked at Shushu's belly and said nothing more.

Shushu touched Akdan’s little head and then touched Fengsheng.

Seeing this, Niguzhu also leaned over to make it easier for Shushu to touch her head.

Shushu felt a headache when looking at the three children.

In the future, we will not only have to consider the balance between the three siblings, but also the relationship between the first and second children.

Fortunately, these three have reached a point where they can understand reason.

When the younger one grows up, let the three of them take care of the younger one, and there will be no need to compete for favor.

It's time for dinner.

The dining table was brought up.

Because Jueluo had sent someone over the day before to tell them about what was coming today, Shushu had already asked the kitchen to prepare the meal.

Jueluo loves stews, and there are several stews today.

Stewed venison meatballs, stewed shrimp balls, Fukui, and mushroom medley.

Together with the cold dishes and side dishes, the table was filled with a whole lot.

It was a family dinner, which was very enjoyable for Mrs. Jueluo and Mrs. Bo, and the little ones were also very happy.

However, there were many things to do in the Dutong Mansion, so after the dining table was cleared away, Jueluo drank a cup of tea and then stood up to leave.

The Ninth Prince personally escorted him out of the house.

Gui Dan lived in the rear courtyard of the palace. She received the news at noon that her in-laws' wife had arrived.

He was very anxious, and when he heard that the Ninth Prince had returned, he came to look for him.

The Ninth Prince said disdainfully, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm telling you, I didn't promise you anything. If the General's Mansion doesn't arrange a marriage for the Second Princess, it's fine. But if they do, you're not allowed to worry about it anymore!"

Gui Dan said hurriedly, "Of course, I haven't even met the Second Princess yet, how can I be so determined to marry her?"

The Ninth Prince looked at Gui Dan and said, "Did you secretly ask around? Otherwise, why are you so thoughtless? Aren't you afraid of choosing an ugly one?"

Gui Dan is the nephew of Concubine Yi, so naturally he is not bad looking. Every day, everyone he meets at home is also good-looking, so he has a good complexion.

Although there is no grand wedding now, there are maids in the family. However, I know the importance of it and have not produced a concubine's eldest son or daughter.

This time when choosing a husband for herself, Gui Dan did not go for the appearance, which surprised the Ninth Prince.

Gui Dan felt a little guilty and said, "I have never seen the Second Princess, but after asking around, I know that the Second Princess is the elder sister of Prince Baofu..."

Prince Baofu of the General's Mansion was one of the study partners of the fifth son of Norobu and the fifteenth prince.

Because his sixth brother-in-law was also the study partner of the Fifteenth Prince, the Ninth Prince remembered all of the Fifteenth Prince's study partners clearly.

Prince Baofu was the oldest among the fifteenth prince's study companions. He was mature beyond his years and had a handsome appearance.

The reason why he was able to become the prince's companion among many candidates was not only because of his father, but also because of his appearance and behavior.

After all, the prince's tutors are all selected by the emperor himself, and they must meet him before officially entering the palace.

The Ninth Prince looked at Gui Dan and snorted, saying, "No wonder you said that the son of the General's Mansion was successful. It turns out that it was not someone else who was successful, but the younger brother of the Second Princess from the same mother..."

After scolding Gui Dan with a smile, the Ninth Prince returned to Ning'an Hall.

He also wanted to take Shushu back to the main courtyard, and this time the couple did not leave their son behind.

When the couple entered the house, the Ninth Prince started talking about Niguzhu's upbringing.

"During the New Year, I can tell my father-in-law and mother-in-law that the education of Niguzhu will be entrusted to the county lady from now on. It will take more than three to five years to teach him well..."

Dutong Mansion, upper room.

When Jueluo came back, Qi Xi came over to ask her.

First he asked about the day when Mrs. Bo would return, then how Shushu was doing, and then how many children there were.

Qi Xi was relieved only after Jueluo explained it in detail.

Life is scary.

Although my daughter is not her first child, as parents, how can we not worry?

As for the Lady Bo's choice, Qi Xi was not surprised.

Although Shushu was not born to Lady Bo, Lady Bo loved Shushu as much as Gioro.

After Jueluo finished talking about her daughter, she remembered what the Ninth Prince had asked about, and told Qi Xi about it.

Qi Xi frowned after hearing this, and a look of disapproval appeared on his face.

Although the Guo Luoluo family has already raised the flag, their roots are still there: they are royal bondservants.

Seeing this, Jueluo said, "We are the messengers. In the early years, the Guoluo family had many people and was in a mess. Now that only Guidan's family is left, it is not a family that cannot be considered."

Qi Xi sighed and said, "The Emperor is too supportive of the bannermen, and is not very close to the Eight Bannermen..."

What works first and what works next.

I'm afraid that the princes will also become close to the bannermen and alienate the nobles in the future...
