Chapter 603: Zhu Gaochi seeks an official position for his brother-in-law(1/2)
The noble women of the Ming Dynasty naturally had their own lives.
However, it has basically nothing to do with the government affairs.
As Zhu Di's eldest daughter, Zhu Yuying actually started planning for her marriage very early on.
It should have been confirmed in the past two years, but Zhu Di is not stable.
Zhu Ying abolished the vassal states and the matter was quite chaotic, so of course Zhu Di's mind was not on his daughter's part.
"Does sister have a sweetheart?"
Zhu Gaochi asked directly.
He knew that his elder sister had a good relationship with Xu Miaojin, so he must have known about Xu Miaojin's entry into the palace. Now he brought it up, undoubtedly by using Xu Miaojin's words to turn it to himself.
In some ways, people like Xu Miaojin are also free love.
Today, when parents' orders and matchmakers' words are more special.
Most women don’t even know what their future husband will look like before the engagement. Some of them may not be able to be together if they have secret feelings.
The stories of men and women in the novel are always just examples in the current world.
It is precisely because of this that it is sought after by many women.
Zhu Yuying paused for a moment and nodded generously to admit.
She came to find Zhu Gaochi tonight just to ask him to help him.
No matter what, Zhu Gaochi is the prince of the Yan Prince's Mansion and has been enthroned by the emperor's grandfather. In terms of marriage, the mother's mother has always been the decision, so the father will probably not intervene too much.
Unless there is a purpose for marriage.
After all, it was King Yan, and Zhu Di did not need his daughter to marry him to protect his status.
Zhu Yuying slowly spit out a name; "Yuan Rong."
Zhu Gaochi recalled slightly and asked, "Is it Yuan Rong, the son of Yuan Hong?"
Yuan Hong is not a little man, he is also one of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty. He first joined Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Li Wenzhong.
And he is a confidant of Zhu Yuanzhang. Even if it is the Lan Yu case in history, he is also standing by Zhu Yuanzhang's side.
Currently serving as the deputy governor of the Houjun Governor's Office.
Zhu Gaochi also understood the difficulties of his elder sister.
Because Yuan Rong is not Yuan Hong's eldest son, but Yuan Hong's concubine Liu.
The most important thing is that Yuan Hong is also half a royal relative.
Because the wife of Duke Cao Li Jingrong is Yuan Hong's second daughter.
Perhaps at this point, this is why Yuan Rong was able to recognize the relationship between Zhu Di's eldest daughter Li Yuying.
After all, Li Jinglong and Zhu Di grew up together since childhood. They have a good relationship, and the relationship between the two families is quite good.
And the problem also arises here.
Zhu Yuying is Zhu Di's eldest daughter, and she was named Princess Yong'an two years ago.
As the princess, no matter how much it matches, it should be Yuan Hong's legitimate son who is barely a match.
The status of a concubine cannot be matched with the marriage of the royal family.
No wonder Zhu Yuying was going to Zhu Gaochi to seek help at night.
Zhu Gaochi hesitated for a moment.
Because of his current situation, he was not sure about telling his mother or his father about his elder sister's marriage.
But in this situation, my elder sister obviously fell in love with her.
"Gao Chi, now you can only help me with this."
"Sister, please think of a solution."
Zhu Yuying knew very well that her father was going to Japan this year, and the mother had actually told them about the marriage two days ago.
He said he would help them find a good family recently.
At that time, Zhu Yuying did not dare to talk to her mother about Yuan Rong. Once her mother fails to pass here, there will be no possibility.
"Sister, how do you want me to help you?"
As for this, Zhu Gaochi has actually guessed what his elder sister is thinking.
Instead of asking for his mother's wife, he came to find herself and told Xu Miaojin about the matter, and the answer was about to come out.
Zhu Yuying had indeed thought about it and said after hearing this, "Gao Chi, can you help me go to His Royal Highness the Grand His Majesty to speak?"
"If His Highness the Grandpa came forward and said something, the father and mother would definitely not object."
After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was about to agree.
This is not a big deal. With his friendship with Zhu Ying, it is just a matter of just one sentence.
But when the words were about to speak, Zhu Gaochi suddenly stopped.
He looked up at his elder sister Zhu Yuying and asked, "Sister, this method is not what you think of yourself, right? Is it the idea that boy Yuan Rong came up with?"
Zhu Gaochi suddenly thought of something.
His eldest sister and Xu Miaojin are friends in the boudoir, and are commonly known as besties in later generations.
The eldest sister already knew that Xu Miaojin entered the palace. If it was a simple marriage issue, she could ask Xu Miaojin for help.
The Taisun will naturally agree.
But my elder sister found herself.
This is a little different.
When Zhu Yuying heard Zhu Gaochi's question, he lowered his head embarrassedly.
"It's Mr. Rong's meaning, and it's mine."
Yuan Rong was born in a concubine, so naturally he could not be called Yuan, but could only be called by name.
Zhu Gaochi also figured it out.
If the eldest sister asks Xu Miaojin, then the grandson will naturally help solve the problem of the marriage.
If you talk to yourself, the situation will be a little different.
Given the relationship between Duke Cao and his father, he finally spoke with Taisun himself, which is a bit different in nature.
From another perspective, it feels like the feeling of being asked by the Prince of Yan to ask for an official position for his son-in-law.
Zhu Yuying wanted to use this to ask Yuan Rong for a job.
Now my father Zhu Di is going to take his whole family to Japan. Although he has the title of a princess, these things in the officialdom are not that simple.
Yuan Hong's eldest son was still a small military officer, so how could he go out to the court to seek official positions for the concubine born to his concubine?
Moreover, according to the official duties that Zhu Ying has re-enacted, in addition to hereditary, it is not as easy as before to become an official through relationships, whether it is a civil servant or a military officer.
The Ministry of Personnel was also very nervous.
"Before the eldest sister has married, she has already started to think about her future brother-in-law."
"Which life did this kid Yuan Rong cultivate the blessing that he asked his elder sister to give up so many young talents, but she just fell in love with him."
Zhu Gaochi said teasingly.
There is nothing to dislike the little thoughts of my elder sister and Yuan Rong.
It is also a natural part to use your own relationship to seek an official position for your husband.
It is completely meaningless to say that it depends on one's own efforts at the level of the royal palace. No matter how hard Yuan Rong works, he will never be able to say that he is enough for Zhu Yuying in his life.
Besides, in this world, women will not say that they have their own ideas to wait for others. Under the orders of their parents, there is no room for resistance.
Zhu Yuying is in a hurry to come over now, because she is afraid that her mother will make a reservation if she doesn't pay attention, and then there will be no room for reversal.
When Zhu Yuying heard the name of brother-in-law, she was also happy when she was slightly red.
This shows that my younger brother Gao Chi has agreed to this matter and also recognizes Yuan Rong.
Zhu Gaochi is familiar with him, but he can hear some of the wind.
Yuan Rong, a concubine, naturally had no worries about food and clothing, nor did he have the temperament of a playboy. He could not be said to be particularly outstanding in civil and military affairs, so he could be considered a decent person.
It is mainly because Zhu Gaochi knew that Yuan Rong had never been to the romantic circle.
As long as it is my elder sister likes it, it doesn't matter.
As the Yan Prince's Mansion, it was Yuan Rong's blessing to marry Yuan Rong.
He was not worried whether Yuan Rong wanted to use his elder sister to give him the position. Even if he had thoughts on this, it would be no big deal.
As the eldest daughter of the King of Yan, Princess Yongcheng.
As long as the elder sister likes it, that's enough.
