Seeing the satisfaction expressed from the bottom of his heart by his father and mother, Honghui could only put on his dragon robe with a happy face and walked to the Fucha mansion to pay a visit to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Meet Master Fucha."

Even if Sakcha had any arrogance, he would not dare to show it to the emperor's beloved grandson: "I don't deserve it. Brother, please come in. My father and uncle are in the mansion..."

He led the way as he spoke, and in a moment they arrived at the reception hall.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw that the room was full of people, almost all of them were men, with only a few women.

Wow! No wonder people say that Fucha family has many descendants. You can tell just by looking at the men, old and young, in the room, especially the first seven or eight, all wearing colorful robes.

During this meeting, regardless of whether Honghui was satisfied or not, all the men and women of the Fucha family were quite satisfied. It was because they judged people by their appearance!

For a moment, the two sides greeted each other and said polite words to each other, and there was a sense that both the host and the guest were having a good time.

But Honghui was keenly aware of one thing: Ma Qi and Ma Wu, the two old foxes, were testing him in words and deeds. As for what were they testing? It was nothing more than some backyard affairs.

They are knowledgeable and sensible, and didn't ask any sensitive questions!

Well, what is there to hide about the backyard? Honghui smiled faintly: "People often say that one should start a family and establish a career, but I think one should establish a career first, and then provide support for his wife and children! Now is the time to study and practice martial arts, why should he be distracted by other things?" The implication is that there is no one in his room.

At this point, he added, "I am still young, and I will not be able to leave the study until the end of the year. I have not yet opened my own residence, and I am still living in the prince's residence. I can only go out once every three days. But even if I open my own residence, my mother will take care of my courtyard, and I will hand it over to her after Fu Jin enters the residence."

After these few words, Sakcha's wife, Niuhulu, immediately smiled happily. No matter whether Prince Honghui would take a concubine in the future, his backyard would be handed over to her daughter.

What women value most nowadays is the power of housekeeper!

You haven't even mentioned that you won't take a concubine until the eldest son is born, and you're so satisfied?

Honghui sighed that people nowadays have very low requirements for sons-in-law. They value their daughters only to this extent, which is very different from later generations!

But he had witnessed the equality of men and women in later generations, and even though it was difficult to improve the status of women at the moment, he decided to respect his wife.

After all, Fu Cha Huimin was innocent, so even if he was dissatisfied in every way, he could not show it to a weak woman. What's more, he was just a little annoyed, not to the point of being dissatisfied.

As for whether to take a concubine after the birth of the eldest son? That depends on how Fu Cha Huimin behaves, and also on whether the timing is right!

——Although he has witnessed the prosperity of later generations, he is still a royal noble at heart!

While his mind was struggling, Honghui tactfully gave a yes, promising to take a concubine after the birth of the eldest son.

Niuhulu was so happy that she chanted "Amitabha" in her heart, and then she congratulated her eldest daughter repeatedly, "My child, you are so lucky. Prince Honghui is not only handsome, but also gentle, capable, and responsible. He has everything! That's not all. Prince doesn't even have a wife in the backyard. He even promised that he would allow you to take a concubine after you give birth to your eldest son..."

Fu Cha Huimin's oval face was mostly red, her cheeks were flushed, and tears welled up in the depths of her eyes. Looking closely, it really lived up to the old saying - love comes from nowhere, but it lasts forever.

How could she let him down since he valued her so much? After getting married, she must take care of all the affairs for him, and not let him worry when he returns home!

Honghui thought that what he said was very ordinary, but he didn't know that this was what women nowadays dreamed of. Compared with those men who took concubines early and favored their concubines over their wives, he stood out like a crane among chickens.

After that, the whole Fucha clan talked about it with great relish, and they all lamented that their daughter had found a perfect husband! While they were satisfied, they also did not forget to be cautious, fearing that they would cause any trouble and make the royal family unhappy.

When it comes to the future smooth life of your daughter, it is never too much to be cautious!

……

At the beginning of October, the marriage was arranged and peace returned to the former dynasty.

However, this peace did not last long. In early November, Tsewang Arabtan of the Dzungar tribe returned to invade Tibet, and the war in the northwest broke out again.

Although Kangxi was angry, he collected some food and fodder and still urged the generals in the northwest to lead troops to quell the rebellion.

The end of the 55th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign ended with mixed results!

After the new year, Kangxi issued an edict to specially award Honghui the title of Beizi, which was considered the official opening of the palace.

However, as the grandson of the emperor, he did not need to choose another residence, nor did he have to get up early every day to attend court, so he suddenly had a lot of free time.

Afterwards, the three letters and six ceremonies gradually went into process. After asking for the name and accepting the betrothal gift, on May 18th, Prince Yong's Mansion and Fu Cha's Mansion performed the engagement ceremony and also set the wedding date, which was September of the following year.

As for the wedding date, both parties were quite satisfied. By then, one would be seventeen and the other eighteen, which was just the right age for childbearing.

Yes, Honghui is actually one year younger than Fucha Huimin, but you can’t tell from their appearance!

After the engagement ceremony, the marriage is basically settled and will not be easily changed in the future.

In order to cultivate feelings in advance, Honghui would have someone send some small gifts to Fu Cha's mansion every ten days or half a month. They were not expensive things, and most of them were books.

Who can't see now that Prince Honghui likes people with extensive knowledge? The principle that "women's virtue lies in their lack of talent" does not apply to him!

The Fucha government responded by reducing the courses on needlework, "Rules for Women" and "Instructions for Women" and replaced them with the Four Books and Five Classics.

Fu Cha Huimin was willing to read the Four Books and Five Classics, which were difficult to read and had no end. Whenever she thought of the hand-carved wooden hairpin that her brother had given her, she would suddenly feel a lot of courage and determination.

Honghui naturally didn't know that there was a woman who was happy for his happiness and sad for his sadness. Nowadays, women pin their entire lives on their husbands, and his future wife was no exception!

"Ask someone to send it to Fu Cha Mansion and hand it over to Fu Yong." I found a travel book a few days ago. It is quite open-minded. I'd like to show it to Fu Cha Huimin so that she can also be open-minded.

As for Tominaga, he is Fucha Huimin's younger brother, so handing it over to him means handing it over to Fucha Huimin.

Honghui can feel at ease interacting with a junior, but as for someone who has already become an official in the court, well, forget it.

He has little contact with his future father-in-law Sakcha, let alone Ma Qi and Ma Wu. Honghui has grasped the right balance here!
