Chapter 1690 Backhand (rolling and asking for monthly votes)
The general's wife and Qingru are both in the front living room.
Both mother and daughter were silent.
In the past few years, the Dutong Palace's sincerity towards the General Palace has been seen in the eyes of their mother and daughter, and they really value this marriage.
The more this is the case, the General's Mansion should also be thorough, and it makes sense to live with them for a long time.
Now, there is a rift, and it doesn't look like we can start well and end well.
Hearing the movement at the door, the mother and daughter looked over.
Seeing that Jueluo Shi had arrived, both mother and daughter got up.
The general of the auxiliary state is a member of the second-rank clan, and the general's wife is a member of the second-rank imperial family.
It's just that the clan nobility is different from the civilian nobility.
When the carriages of the two families arrived on the road, they went their separate ways without greeting each other.
At present, the general's wife is polite because she is the elder of the family.
Feeling that Luo was not as warm as before, his expression was indifferent, he glanced at Qingru, and then said to the general's wife: "It's rare for Madam to come here at this time, but it's getting late and it's too late, otherwise I should have called Zhu Liang back."
The Zhenghong Banner Camp is just outside Fucheng Gate, three or four miles away from Dutong Mansion.
Today is neither long nor short, but there is still more than half an hour until the city gate is closed. If you really want to call people back, it is still too late.
Jueluo Shi said this first, just because he didn't want his son to get involved.
The general's wife took two steps forward and took Jueluo's hand, her face full of shame.
"It's because our general is confused. He received favors from Suo'etu in his early years and was begged by Mrs. Yi, so he muddleheadedly gave up the furniture and furnishings in Qingru's dowry."
Jueluo's expression did not change. When the guests and hosts were seated and tea was served, he said calmly: "What do you mean, general? The wedding date has to be postponed until next year?"
Jueluo was also hesitating in his heart.
It is not appropriate to break off the engagement at this time, otherwise even if there is a grudge, it will be easy to be implicated in rebelling against the prince.
If you delay it for a year and a half, it may not be a good thing for you if you act morally and righteously.
If the path of virtue and righteousness goes to the end, then this marriage is not necessary.
If you have passed the cusp of the storm, it is better to find some excuse to break off the engagement quietly than to be tired for half your life.
Seeing her coldness, the general's wife sighed, looked at Jueluo Shi, and said with sincerity: "Bu Yan, what I mean is that the furniture and furnishings can be used in one set. If you add other things to the small dowry, you will still be dowrying sixty-four
lift……"
Qingru's dowry was originally prepared at the General's Mansion for sixty-four loads.
Half of them are furniture and furnishings, and the rest are jewelry, clothing materials, medicinal materials, properties and shops, etc.
If you misappropriate most of the furniture and furnishings, make up for it with other items.
The general's wife has already planned to add a private property to her family and move a village from the palace to it.
Jue Luo also had a daughter and did not want to make things difficult for the general's wife. She just thought of Zhu Liang and felt a little hesitant.
She did not answer the general's wife's words, but looked at Qingru and said, "What does Da Gege think about this matter?"
Zhu Liang has a soft temper, and if Qing Ru is also confused, even if the couple gets married, they will separate early and cannot run the family, otherwise the Dong E family will be brought into trouble.
The ownership of this title may not necessarily go to Zhuliang.
The inheritor of the Dong E family is still the head of their clan.
Qingru said with emotion: "The teacher ignored the dignity of my niece for the sake of my sister's dignity. He had prepared the furniture and furnishings at Ama's place. The two elders didn't even ask my niece. They each made their own decisions. It was just a choice.
That’s all, my niece has nothing to say, she just wants to have a good memory.”
Seeing that she knew what she was thinking, the ice and snow on her face gradually melted, and there was more pity in her eyes, and she said: "It is also an unreasonable disaster. Things that should not have anything to do with you are forced to be involved on your heads. When we go back to teahouses and restaurants, there will be many people gossiping.
, pitiful view!”
Qingru's nose was sore, she lowered her head to wipe her tears, and when she raised her head again, her expression was a little more determined.
"Auntie, don't worry. My niece has also read history books and knows that there are some things that a courtier's family cannot get involved in. Besides, there is still an eldest sister here. You must be careful with your words and actions to avoid injuring the eldest sister."
Here in the Dutong Mansion, there is a prince and a noble son-in-law, and I have a prince to accompany me as a student. As long as we stick to our duties, we will enjoy a peaceful and prosperous situation.
Jueluo was moved when he heard this, and looked at Qingru, feeling more relieved.
"Good boy, when you give birth to a child in the future, you will know the heart of Dang Eni..."
Qingru nodded and said: "I know that my aunt loves my sister as much as I love me."
Seeing the atmosphere change, the general's wife breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The days we sent here before include those in the winter month and those in the twelfth lunar month. The winter lunar month is good. It just avoids the busy New Year period, so choose the winter lunar month.
day!"
Jueluo didn't say anything else and pondered for a while.
To put it bluntly, even if we choose a day in the winter months, there are still three months to go.
Furniture and furnishings may not be impeccable.
If you don't say the year before, but choose the year after, you will have more time.
But in that case, it would be easy for people to misunderstand that the "borrowing dowry" matter was informed and willing by the government.
Not going into the water is going into the water.
Jueluo Shi nodded and said: "Okay, there were two days in the winter months that were suitable for getting married, the second day of the winter month and the eighteenth day of the winter month. If it's early rather than late, let's take the second day of the winter month!"
After hearing this, the general's wife nodded and said: "Okay, then it will be the second day of winter!"
Both of my parents-in-law are straightforward people.
After finalizing the matter, Jue Luo also made a point: "The furniture is not complete, and there is no need to make it together, so as to avoid being nondescript."
The general's wife glanced at Luo Shi, nodded slowly and said: "What the madam said is exactly what I thought. Earlier, it was all matching furniture, and most of it was missing. Even if there were suitable materials, there were no suitable craftsmen.
Make up for it slowly!"
As the sun sets, the room becomes dark.
It's time to light the lamp.
The general's wife stood up and left.
The Jueluo family had a banquet prepared before, but they did not entertain any guests and sent the mother and daughter out in person.
After watching mother and daughter get on the carriage, Mrs. Jueluo turned around and returned home.
The carriage moved slowly.
Qing Ru was leaning on the carriage, feeling a little tired and confused.
The teacher made a choice with Amma, and she also made a choice.
The general's wife held Qingru's hand, feeling extremely distressed, but instead of comforting her, she praised: "You did the right thing, and you understand clearly..."
Mrs. Yi is not allowed to get close to her.
This time she can ask to "borrow" the dowry, who knows what she will do next time?
She was the daughter of a bachelor and the wife of a bachelor. She was used to powerful women, used to big storms, but other people's lives had to be lived.
Qingru's eyes were red and she said, "As long as Enie doesn't mind her daughter's coldness..."
The general's wife said: "You, Ama, are confused, but who told him to marry me? He has this additional relationship with Yuqing Palace. You can't escape just by wanting to escape, but you are different. You don't have to fall into the trap..."
Speaking of this, she felt faintly afraid.
As long as you know the history of the country, you will know that every change of throne, no matter the title or the clan, is a new round of ups and downs.
She couldn't say much about her family's future.
She lowered her voice and said: "This time I will use the excuse of insufficient dowry. I will ask you Amama for more property and buy you two more villages and two more shops. Half of them will be given to you by Eni and half by Eni."
It is temporarily in your name, and the money in the box will be added to 10,000, which is still 50-50..."
Qingru listened, feeling her heart pounding with fear. She looked at the general's wife, her face turned pale, and said, "Eni, where did it get to this point?"
The general's wife smiled bitterly and said: "Just be prepared. Your Ama is the general of the auxiliary country. It is a title conferred by grace. You have done nothing for the country. If you really have it, you will be dismissed."
If the prince can successfully succeed to the throne, their families are related by marriage, and they have the opportunity to take a step forward.
If other princes come to power and the prince's influence is liquidated, their family will also be part of it.
Qingru whispered: "But my uncle is not close to Yuqing Palace?"
That was the prince's serious wife family, and their family had finally taken a detour.
The general's wife sighed and said: "It's different. Your Ama has inherited the favor from Suo'etu. In the eyes of outsiders, this relationship cannot be broken."
Now it is Suo'etu who is making a fuss and hiding property.
During his lifetime, Suo'etu was the minister in charge of the bodyguards, and his own general was the first-class bodyguard. This is the most terrible implication!
Qingru leaned against the general's wife and said after a while: "What do you want, Amma?"
The general's wife was silent for a while, then she took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"If it had been earlier, the imperial court was very kind to the clan and the title was generous. If your eldest brother could inherit the title, your other four brothers could also be made third-class generals..."
"But now that the clan has changed its imperial examinations, if your younger brothers cannot excel in all three subjects, they will be in danger of becoming an idle clan. Also, you and your sister, both legitimate daughters and sons, are not even six-character characters."
If you can't get a seal, you can't get a salary..."
The five sons and two daughters of the General's Mansion are all direct descendants of the General's wife.
It is a good thing to have many heirs, but it is more difficult to support a family, so we must not think about the future.
This is the sorrow of lower-class clans. They have to struggle to live a life. If they are not motivated, they will fall to the lower level...
