My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1074 Timely (Second Update)
Brother Twelve was very obedient and didn't say anything else, but he remembered this in his heart.

In the future, when you give Brother Nine and Sister-in-law Nine, you should send things in pairs, which not only has a good meaning, but is also valuable.

Elder Brother Ten has already arrived. Seeing that the two of them hadn't come out yet, he came in and said, "Do you want to be busy for a while?"

Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "I'm not busy anymore, let's go."

Not only is he not busy today, but he also doesn't plan to come tomorrow.

I said before that I would be checking the house in the garden, but I have been running here every day for the past few days.

Seventeen Gege has already moved the palace at noon, and the imperial news such as the layout of Chengqian Palace is that.

He stretched his waist and said, "I've been really busy for a while."

Elder Brother Twelve walked beside him and glanced at Brother Ninth.

Is the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs too heavy?

It's just a stamp all day, and it's not even half an hour before and after, so you're tired?
Elder Brother Ten said: "Then Brother Ninth will be in Changchun Garden tomorrow? Then I won't come either. The Clan Mansion has been busy these days, so I'm afraid of talking..."

"what?"

Brother Jiu heard this, his ears perked up immediately, and said: "Any other news from Beizi Mansion?"

It's only been a few days, the old and young masters of the Eight Banners are tired of hearing the news about Beizi Mansion, right?
It's over.

Elder Brother Shi shook his head and said, "It's not Beizi's mansion, it's other clan mansions. There are two people who sued brothers and sister-in-law, saying that they didn't share the mother's dowry when they separated; The lawsuits are all related to the dowry."

There are very few clans that do not separate families like Beizi Mansion, and most of them are bounded by the title of nobility.

In addition to Xifeng before, it was Enfeng, who was knighted at the age of 15, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared the mansion according to the grade.

Later, after the examination was granted, the age of this family member reached 20 years old.

After Kaofeng got the title, he basically had to separate from his family.

Brother Nine said: "Oh! You were a fool before, and you didn't make a sound when you suffered a loss?"

Elder Brother Shi said: "You must be decent, you want to keep your family ugliness out of the air, and you don't want to tear your face. Now there is an example in Beizi Mansion. It should be that compared with face, the inside is better."

Brother Jiu said: "Can the clan be compared with ordinary banner people? Even if they are not rich, they should not be poor if they have industries to support them?"

Elder Brother Shi shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, the royal family is not rich, the worst General Feng En only has a salary of 110 two years, 110 hu rice; idle clans get money and rice according to the fifth rank of the people's lord, with an annual salary of 85 taels, The rice is 45 dendrobium, and many families have no money to marry."

In his opinion, 85 taels of silver is indeed too little, and it is very tight for the whole family.

No family lives alone. In addition to wives, concubines and children, there are also household members who have to eat.

When the son gets married, the dowry can be less, just look down.

But when the daughter gets married, the dowry is not easy to deal with. Nowadays, old girls are popular in the clan.

It's not that the parents cherish the late marriage, it's that there is no dowry money.

A lot of people have passed their good years, so they can only go to be someone else's second wife and fill in the house.

Brother Jiu didn't sound right, he thought of the old Duke who died last year, he was the concubine of a family.

But it sounds like you are not qualified to test the seal, and you have to pay money outside.

No wonder they dared to live, and many of them survived.

Brother Nine muttered: "Are there still a few five-rank nobles? There are so many errands in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the five-ranks are all counted. As a result, they gave birth to a waste, and they can get so much..."

Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "It doesn't look like much now, it seems that there are more than 400 yellow belts. With the item of conferment, the number of titles has also been controlled, but what's the use? The idle clan below If you work hard, the family's money and rice will be enough to be a king's son, if you don't care about it, this expenditure will be a big one in the future."

Elder Brother Ten said: "Jade Documents are repaired every ten years, and when the time comes, Khan Ama will watch the population multiply, and he should be able to deal with it."

Brother Nine said: "Anyway, we have to take care of it, otherwise, it really won't work, arrange more clan vacancies, and we can't just eat and wait to die. If you are not a waste, you will become a waste."

Elder Brother Twelve followed the two older brothers, feeling confused.

Isn't it a good thing to have many children?
But when Brother Jiu said it, would it be a bad thing?
However, the emperor's father is very capable of giving birth, and he has more than a dozen sons at the moment. If these princes are like this, then the number of emperor's grandchildren will be more than 200...

After half an hour, a group of people arrived at Brother's office.

The ninth elder brother took the twelfth elder brother back to the North Fifth Institute, and the tenth elder brother went back to his home to change clothes.

Elder Brother Twelve's residence is still in the study in the front yard.

There is an ice basin and a basin of bamboo in the house, which is full of greenery.

Brother Twelve saw this last time, but he didn't bother to ask.

Seeing him look twice more.

Seeing this, Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "This is the famous 'Guanyin Bamboo'. It is sold for hundreds of taels of silver a pot outside. I will keep this for you and give it to you when you get married next year."

The twelfth elder brother hesitated for a moment, and said: "Ninth brother, is it next year? The thirteenth brother is not very old, will it be the next time?"

He doesn't really want to change his current situation, it's good to live alone in the fifth house now.

But if he had to allocate two-thirds of the yard to go out, and several strangers would come in in the future, he was uncomfortable thinking about it.

Brother Nine snorted coldly and said, "Next time? 43 years? Then, you and Shi Sanyi guarded the two concubine sons. Before Fujin entered the door, the eldest son and eldest daughter of the concubine came out. This is disgusting." Have a good life, right?"

With the lessons learned from the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother, the later elder brothers will not arrange late marriages.

Elder Brother Twelve shook his head and said, "Don't worry..."

Brother Jiu looked him up and down, looked serious, looked down at his waist, waved the little eunuch at the door to go down, and said: "Tell me honestly, is there something unspeakable? There must be something wrong , can't hide illness and avoid medicine?"

Brother Twelve was a little confused and didn't react for a while.

Brother Jiu said bluntly, and said: "Have you read the "Huangdi Neijing"? Husband is twenty-eight, kidney qi is strong, heaven is guizhi, essence is overflowing, yin and yang are combined, so you can have a child, you are already sixteen , it is the age when the energy is full and overflowing, isn't it..."

Speaking of this, he thought about the twelfth elder brother's birthday being in the twelfth lunar month, and he was only 14 and a half years old when he was born on a small birthday.

Or it's really nothing...

In the "Huangdi Neijing", does the seven seven eight eight refer to the false age or the real age.

The law of the previous dynasty set the marriageable age of men and women at sixteen and fourteen, which should be referred to the "Huangdi Neijing".

The years in the law are all calculated as false years, so can it be calculated that the "Huangdi Neijing" also says false years?
Elder Brother Twelve's face turned red "shua", it went all the way to his neck, like steamed buns with red dates.

He stared at Brother Nine speechless, and really couldn't think of why he could say these things calmly.

Brother Jiu snorted softly and said: "It's all written in the book, what's the shame, if there is something wrong, tell the doctor as soon as possible, if you are embarrassed to say, the master will arrange staff for you, it's nothing, just don't think about those evil spirits Heretics!"

Brother Twelve hurriedly said: "Don't worry about it, my brother is doing well, but I am impatient with many people."

Brother Jiu couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Who can still live alone, at any age, just do what you want, and grow up."

For example, Elder Fourteen, who is three years younger than Elder Twelfth, has long been thinking about marrying Fujin.

There is a big difference between this younger brother and younger brother.

Shu Shu was in the main room, and had already received the news that Elder Brother Twelve was coming, so she ordered Walnut, "Ask the dining room to prepare a fruit plate for delivery, and send two plates of pastry pads."

Walnut responded, went to the dining room, packed the food box and sent it over.

The twelfth elder brother saw that his sister-in-law had sent someone over, and looked at the ninth elder brother, wondering if he should go there first to say hello to his sister-in-law.

Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "No, we'll see you later when we go out, so as not to bother you, you can eat two pieces of melon and take a rest. We'll leave for the No. [-] South Institute on the second quarter of the first lunar month. There's still half an hour left."

Brother Twelve listened to the arrangement honestly.

Brother Jiu went back to the main room.

Shu Shu was looking at the two brocade boxes, seemingly hesitating.

Brother Nine leaned forward and asked, "What are they?"

Shu Shu pointed to the left side and said, "A new horsewhip and a Mongolian knife are all gifts from the Northern Tour the year before last!"

They are all good things, inlaid with gems and gold, which will meet the preferences of the Mongolians.

Princess Kejing keeps it and can reward others.

Brother Nine shook his head and said, "I don't send these, I send foreign goods, Gurkha knives, perfume, mirror Korean ginseng..."

After hearing this, Shu Shu couldn't help stroking her forehead, and said, "I'm confused."

Things are rare.

The objects received on the grassland looked like good things to me, but to the Mongolian princes, they were nothing.

On the contrary, Western objects, which are thousands of miles away and come across the ocean, are precious.

Shu Shu said: "Then give the Gurkha knife, and prepare Korean ginseng and others when the princess leaves Beijing."

This is also a courtesy.

Before the princess came back, she sent a whole load of furs. There were no miscellaneous furs. They were all mink furs. They were made one by one, and they could be made into clothes.

The price of this car is expensive.

Shu Shu's temper is that she would rather suffer a loss than take advantage, so she has already thought about returning the gift.

After being married for several years, Brother Nine knew what she was doing. After thinking about it, he said, "Fourth Sister's return gift here doesn't have to be just right, or it's too much. We don't have anything to worry about, I'm afraid she will feel uneasy..."

Shu Shu nodded and said, "Yes, I see."

In the past, the princess was the princess, and the forehead was the king of Duoluo County. Between the husband and wife, the princess was naturally the highest.

Now the forehead is Tushetu Khan, who has become the most powerful person in Khalkha, and the situation of the princess and the forehead has been reversed.

This should also be the reason why the princess returned to court.

Shu Shu said: "If we have a relationship, we will wait until Princess Qianqiu sends someone to give gifts, or wait until the princess gives birth, and prepare the birth gift."

Brother Nine nodded and said: "That's better. For us, it's just a little more troublesome. For Fourth Sister, being far away in a foreign country is also a comfort..."
