Old things in the Red Chamber

The Ninth Prince doesn't have much requirements for what kind of daughter-in-law to marry.

"It must be virtuous and gentle. It doesn't matter if the family background is good or not. If the family background is good, it's just icing on the cake. If the family background is not good, as long as the girl has the ability to help me with the housework, that's enough." After thinking about it, I added the last The important one is "be sure to give birth well, I still expect him to give birth to 10 and 8 big fat boys".

Jia Gu would like to say that all 10 and 8 are sows.However, he also understood the request of the Ninth Prince, after all, his family was small and thin, and finally had two grandsons who treated him like pearls and treasures.

"I've already made up my mind about this matter. You can just wait for half a month with peace of mind, and I will show you the video at that time."

The Ninth Prince worriedly pulled Jia Gu, "Mr. Jia, don't make this matter too public, keep a low profile, and don't let people catch you. It was a good thing, don't make it a bad thing. Otherwise, what will happen to the emperor?" can't explain"

Jia Gu nodded, knowing how to do this matter.

The Ninth Prince requires that the girl's family must be prosperous, so first examine the wives of each family, whose wife will be more prolific and raise more children, this saying is called like a mother, like a daughter, and then investigate The conduct of these chosen persons.

This matter is still a big one, Jia Gu went to do it himself, and did not hide that he had no intention of keeping this matter a secret. Many people knew the news of his actions, quietly summoned friends, found ways to take advantage of loopholes, and wanted to Push his own girl to Jia Gu.

"My lord, you also know that the girl from the princess's family and the prince are natural cousins. They are of similar blood and have noble births. They are really a match made in heaven."

"Grandpa Jia, I didn't say that the lady from the Bao family is really beautiful."

"A woman appeared in Ludi. The fortune teller said that this woman is the reincarnation of Phoenix, the natural mother of the country..."

The news leaked out after all, and some people muddied the water even more.

The Ninth Prince looked very irritable, "It's inevitable that the gang of brothers are behind the scenes, and I'm just marrying a princess, no matter what the person's father is like? It's a good person to marry, but what are they doing chattering over there?"

Now he has also learned that when he is wronged, he has to run to the emperor to express this kind of grievance. He found out that his father is relatively free at the moment and has nothing else to do. Panting.

"This matter was originally entrusted to Wei Guogong outside the palace, but it's okay to entrust this matter to others, but it's not beautiful enough if it's entrusted to him. I heard that he did it for his mother and concubine a few years ago..."

Quickly stopped the topic, looked up at the emperor's face, the emperor didn't take what his son said just now to heart, and discussed the matter with his son leisurely, "You really shouldn't tell him about this matter, he's not serious about other things. He has always been decisive, but he is careful and cautious about matters between children. If you say he is not protecting the calf, if you say he is cautious, you have not seen it. Your mother and concubine were like this back then. If he gave your mother early The concubine has found her in-law’s family, and your mother and concubine will not follow me, so you should thank him for saying this.” It’s really fun to talk about it here, but I still concluded that “it’s really impossible to tell you to leave the marriage of your children to him. "

At this time, the Ninth Prince hurriedly put forward his own thoughts, "After all, we can't entrust this matter to others. My son is here to beg my father boldly. But after all, my sons have never done this kind of thing, and there is no reason for it, why not ask the father to handle it for the son, the son is really terrified by those people outside the palace."

When Huang Di heard this, he smiled proudly at his son, "Just tell you, don't always think about ruling the world with benevolence and righteousness, you have to let them learn to be in awe."

The mood today is indeed very good. Seeing his son, he would scratch his head and scratch his head anxiously. The emperor waved his hand, "Leave this matter to me. You just go back and wait. If the choice is not good, don't complain to me."

"There are no parents who do not love their children. As long as the father looks at this matter well, the son will naturally have nothing to say."

After the Ninth Prince left, the emperor asked Jia Gu to be brought to him, and first he taunted him, "It is said that the Duke of Wei was so brave and powerful on the battlefield. I thought there was nothing you couldn't do, but looking at it now There are also things you can't make up your mind about, things you can't handle."

Jia Gu smiled wryly, "This is the first time I've done this. Look at the marriage of my son a few years ago, it was a marriage gift from you, and the marriage of my grandson was my son's idea. Let's talk about it. I haven't arranged a marriage yet."

"I know you can't do it. Since Xiaojiu entrusted you, I won't say anything, but you are getting more and more unreliable in this matter. Xiaojiu was so anxious that she ran to me and cried. It’s up to me to handle things myself.”

Jia Gu breathed a sigh of relief, and happily handed over the burden to the emperor.

The emperor is different from other people. When others choose their concubines, they always value their family background, or the reputation of their girls. The emperor first selects a few girls who are rumored to be better and hand them over to the secret guards, so that they will be there all the time for 12 hours a day. Staring at what they did, what they wore, and what they ate, they had to verify and report them clearly.

After seven or eight days like this, the emperor took out the list of approved candidates, drew the pictures of these people, and called his son to him.

"These people think it's good, how do you say that, everyone has their own age, how to live and how to live, you still need to make up your mind. These girls are all beautiful, well-educated, and know some tricks , it’s just up to you to decide who to choose.”

I handed over some detailed lists and records related to words and deeds in the past few days to my son, and added another procedure, "If you don't let you see the real person, you may not be able to make up your mind, how about this, let your uncle in a few days My aunt invited people over at home, whether it’s watching a play or watching flowers, as long as you invite people over, you just meet them by chance.”

The uncle and aunt mentioned by the emperor are also from the Gu family.

After all, the Ninth Prince is a young man, blushing like an emperor who is half-refusing and half-acting, "Is this not very good?"

"Is there anything good? I saw your mother and concubine with my own eyes back then, and that's why I took her to the palace to have you. No matter what, I and your mother and concubine have never blushed before."

When mentioning the deceased mother, the Ninth Prince immediately agreed.

The emperor would not let the two brothers-in-law work for nothing, allocated money from his private treasury to them, and let them do it in a big way, and in order not to let others know that they had selected candidates internally, they also invited people from other families. Girls come together.

"How is this different from the banquet arranged by Princess Anyang back then?" Lin Daiyu looked at the imperial decree in her hand and talked to her husband, "I remember the banquet arranged by Princess Anyang back then, and anyone with a reputation could participate in it. They were pretty much the same back then."

Gu Yun didn't care about how Princess Anyang arranged the banquet at all, he only cared about whether the emperor had decided to leave the country to the Ninth Prince after so much trouble.

The two brothers are not ignorant scholars. A few years ago, they felt that the Ninth Prince was spiritual, and the emperor was different from the imperial concubine, so they had further contact with Jia's family early on, that is, their own family. The child of the girl's family is engaged.Now it seems that this move is really not wrong.

"Friendship is friendship, and errands are errands. In the next few days, maybe someone will come to the door to intercede. If some people can come in, you can let them participate in this flower festival. If some people are really ugly, you don't have to deal with it." them."

Lin Daiyu can refuse most people, but some people still can't refuse, such as Wang Xifeng.

Feng Lazi, who was shrewd and capable back then, is different from now. The current cousin is a very difficult person for Lin Daiyu to refuse, and even the chance of that year has disappeared without a trace.

"Sister, tell me, will you not let our family, Qiao'er, come to this flower festival?"

"Sister-in-law, you should also think about it, Qiao'er is still keeping her filial piety now, and comparing the two of them, Qiao'er is older than the Ninth Prince..."

After spending a long time drooling, but still not coaxing him down, Wang Xifeng returned home angrily.

"No, I want to send my daughter to the palace. They are first cousins, so the meat should rot in their own pot."

Here Wang Xifeng is planning her daughter's future, while Qi Jing'an and her husband are also planning the eldest daughter's future.

"Do you think our eldest girl is a lovely girl?"

"Our family doesn't need to get involved."

"You can't say that, do you think our girl has no family background or looks or can't do anything? Why do people who are not as good as our girls go, but our girls don't get involved? I tell you that if the girl is really After becoming a concubine, the good life of our family will continue for another two or three generations."

Jia Huan lifted the quilt irritably, "I told you that the blood is too close to be a relative. You see, the mother-in-law and the emperor are two siblings, and the relationship between me and the imperial concubine is so close. When it comes to their generation , do you think the blood is closer?"

"Because of this, our girl has a great chance of winning. Why can't I explain it to you?"

Jia Huan put the quilt on her head, turned her back to her wife, "Sleep and sleep, don't think about such things, and don't ask my father if I don't agree."

Seeing her husband's indifferent attitude towards this matter, Qi Jing'an's tears fell immediately, and she pushed him, "You just don't care about our mother, who doesn't know that when you have a new man, you forget the old one , your good friend is now being raised in my uncle's house, so you will look down on me."
