Chapter 437 Follow the rules and dismantle the stage behind
At this time, there were several close maids around the old princess, and the mandarin ducks had returned home to get married. Luhua was originally good at female red, specializing in the old princess's daily dressing and embroidery workers, and did not often be on duty in the room. At this time, she completed the four-fold screen. The old princess missed her hard work and gave her a temporary leave, let alone let alone stand on duty; Yaohua is Mother Zhu's niece lost her good fate because of her temperament and was almost blamed by the old princess. In the end, for the sake of Mother Zhu's feelings, she was asked to discipline the little maid, and she was not often in front of the master. Only Yan'er was clever and obedient, and the old princess was happy that she was often funny and loved to put tea and water by her side.
The rest of the maids, when waiting for the old princess to clean up their meals, usually only wait in the corridor, and the host or Mother Zhu and Yaner can only enter the house.
At present, the scenery is talking with the old princess. In addition to Xia Ke and Qiu Yue who followed her, there are only two in the room, Mother Zhu and Yaner.
When Mother Zhu heard the topic of Erlang's bride price, she naturally understood that the imperial concubine was not really ignorant. She took a look at Xia Ke and Qiu Yue, who stood with their eyes down, and only glanced at Yan'er.
Yi Jing saw Mother Zhu's behavior and smiled again.
Of course, Mother Zhu didn't know that Yan'er was the maid arranged by Guan Suiyuan in Rongxi Hall. At present, she motioned her to avoid it. She should know that she would dismantle the stage behind her back next, and she was afraid that Yan'er would not be trusted, so she wanted to send her away.
Although the scenery doesn't care about having ears - horizontally and vertically, he wants to meet Xiao Xie's ring, not to mention that Yan'er is originally her own person, but since Mother Zhu has this plan, it is obvious that the scale pole in her heart has been completely tilted, even if the grass is still "glong on the wall" for the time being, at least it is biased.
As usual, the old princess was not moved at all. After listening to Yijing's words, she just said with a smile, "I haven't seen the prince these days. I also know that he is on official business and didn't have a chance to say hello for a while. Your second aunt is also very busy because of Zhou'er's marriage. This betrothal matter has to betrothal, I have to let the eldest Shi Si is in charge."
"So it is." Yijing still smiled: "However, grandmother, Xue Changshi said that the second aunt had not given the money and silver for the bride price, and he could not handle it, and he was afraid of delaying the marriage of his second brother..."
The old princess frowned slightly: "What's wrong with Xue Changshi? How can he not know that although the second daughter-in-law is in charge of the middle gift, the use of the inner house and the moon silver are all allocated by the Changshi Division. He has to find the prince about the money and silver."
Yi Jing sighed secretly. It seemed that in the eyes of the old princess, she did not "depatch" Yu Dong's family, and she thought that the palace of Chu was like an ordinary noble high door, and the marriage and funeral of the whole family were all owned by the public.
The words are too vague, and the old princess can't understand it at all. Yijing decided to say bluntly, "Grandma, this matter is not as ordinary. Although the second uncle lives with us, it is a clan with a title. Although there is no establishment, the heavenly family has not given a house, but Lutian sacrifices and salaries have long been distributed as usual, even the servants of the guards, officials and slaves. The Tian family has also been transferred to the second uncle as usual. Over the years, a large number of people's monthly benefits have been borne by us. At present, the marriage of the second brother, whether according to national law or etiquette, should be taken care of by the general's government. The clan has its own regulations, and the second aunt is in charge of the middle gift of these years. The reason is that this truth is clear.
To put it bluntly, Yu Dong is only a guest house at present. He can't be regarded as a member of the King of Chu's Mansion, and Yu Zhou is even less than a guest.
"Is there such a regulation?" The old princess's face was full of lawsuits and was extremely doubtful.
"Of course, there are. Even if the noble family has not been separated, the descendants will marry because of the eldest and the children. Even if it is unified by the public, there are still examples to follow. A large family can't break the regulations, otherwise thousands of things and trivialities will be confused. Although it is all about money, it may cause contradictions. Fundamentally, only according to the law, even if there is a dispute, there is always a reason to say. Yijing said, "We are a clan, and the second uncle has been awarded the title of title for a long time. After all, the second uncle has established a career. Of course, the children's marriage must be handled by the parents. The father and the king is only the uncle of the second brother. There is no need to say that the second brother's parents have full property. The reason that this marriage also needs to be borne by the uncle is rumored. If you go out, people will also laugh at us for messing up the clan rules. Yu Wangfu is still a trivial matter. They are afraid that others will talk about the injustice of the second uncle and the second aunt, covet the wealth of the brother and the second uncle is the clan. Together, this rumor does not hurt the face of the royal family.
Mama Zhu interrupted: "The concubine's words are very reasonable. When the old slave heard his wife discuss the old princess that day, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't want to go so deep."
With the old and well-inventional Mother Zhu's help, the old princess also paid attention to it: "A Zhu, please talk about it carefully."
"Yes." Mother Zhu answered and said, "Those noble families, but there is an older generation, and they generally don't separate families. Brothers and grandchildren live in a house. Of course, weddings and funerals are all responsible by the public. Take the Duke of Zhenguo as an example, this is the case. That's because the old prince was knighted at that time, and the heavenly family gave the family property. The old master is the son of the old prince, and naturally shares the blessing of his father. However, because there is no separation of each house but has an official position, the salary will also be handed over to the public, just like the third master. Although they have managed commercial property outside over the years, because those industries are also left by their ancestors, the profits from the operation will naturally be handed over to the public, and the prince I am in charge. At this time, once the family is divided, the third master will start his own business and share the ancestral property. In the future, of course, the son and nephew can no longer be expected to bear the responsibility of the marriage.
Yi Jing laughed again and said, "That's why we are a clan, and we are not as ordinary nobles. My grandfather was crowned prince. The national law clearly states that the family title can only be inherited by the eldest son, and the second uncle is a concubine. He should enjoy the property and be rewarded by the royal family, which is a good score. Although the general's mansion has not yet lived in the royal palace. It will also happen sooner or later. Since the Tian family has divided the Juelu that the second uncle should get according to the law, fundamentally speaking, the second uncle and the royal family are no longer involved in property. The grandmother is kind and regards the second uncle as a relative, and the second aunt has been in charge of feeding for many years, which is also hard work, so the father and son never mind the use of these years, but the second brother The marriage involves patriarchal etiquette. In the final analysis, A Yue will be the eldest daughter-in-law of the general's mansion in the future. How can she be hired by our royal palace? It's a joke that others know.
When this was said, the old princess also felt that this matter was indeed unreasonable and was a little embarrassed: "I have always ignored these trivial things, let alone the rules of etiquette. I just want the family not to say two words..."
Mother Zhu said with a smile and said, "No, when the eldest wife got married, the dowry was also organized by the royal family, but the old lady is her daughter's family, and there is no problem. Even if others know, it is the old princess who loves her granddaughter, but this marriage is different after all. In the future When the young lady enters the door, she serves the second master and his wife as a mother-in-law. Even if she has to call the old princess a grandmother... The old princess, don't blame the old slave for talking too much. This direct concubine is ultimately different. The son is your eldest grandson. On that day of marriage, the old princess did not take care of her own son. Even if the bride price is according to the rules of the family, the royal palace also has to There is something added. The old princess's dowry did not move at that time. At present, Erlang is married. If the old princess uses her own body to make up for it, won't she go over the prince? If you know it, you may sigh at the love of the old princess. No matter how the concubine treats you like him, if you don't know it, you think that the prince is not the heart of the old princess, but Erlang is more filial.
Yijing took a look at Mother Zhu, but sincerely appreciated her help, which completely blocked the back road of Yudong and his wife. If Xiao Xie saw that she could not follow the theory of etiquette and law, she only acted coquettishly and provoked the old princess to hire Yuzhou with her own body. This grandmother's considerate grandson is reasonable, and the old princess herself He has not taken care of the dowry at all. He has already handed it over to the King of Chu, and is now under the control of Yu Yu. If the old princess relaxes her mouth, Yu Yu will never really take her grandmother's dowry to supplement the second room, and can only "pay out of her own pocket".
As soon as she heard what she thought might cause gossip and hurt the reputation of her descendants, the old princess had to be serious and think about it for a long time before patting Yijing's hand: "Thanks to Jing's reminder this time, otherwise I would have been confused and almost did bad things with good intentions and let others see jokes. I'm not afraid to say that I'm ignorant. It's a big deal to involve the reputation of the royal family. I also saw that Jing is a capable person. In the future, my grandmother will discuss family matters before you can make a decision.
Of course, this is an unexpected gain, and the scenery is full of response: "Of course, I should share my grandmother's worries, but this time, I'm afraid that my second aunt will mistakenly blame me and think I'm a small weapon and can't give up money."
This is regarded as taking eye medicine in advance. According to Xiao Xie's temperament and brain, of course she can say this.
"She herself also lacks consideration this time. I don't know this. She has been in charge of feeding for so many years, and she is used to socialize with noble husbands. How can she be so careless? In terms of the second brother, she is also rich and has a leading official position. Over the years, she has also been eating and clothing with us, and she has a lot of savings. Erlang is his eldest son. Naturally, he should take care of the matter of marrying the wife. Jing is relieved. Your second aunt is not an unreasonable person. She is just short-sighted and wants to take advantage of something. Don't worry. I'll tell her about this. The old princess didn't care and was happy.
Bingjing sighed again - my good grandmother, this is not a small bargain. You always look at the gift list, not to mention all kinds of jewelry, silk, rare fur, famous calligraphy and paintings. The gold alone, 20,000 gold and 40,000 silver, is really slightly less than the glory of Yu Yu, the prince and the son of the emperor. A little, if this is to double the marriage, Jiang Yue will have ten miles of red makeup. The scenery directly overwhere Liu Niang, the daughter of the serious Houfu, not only one. Although the agreement is common, the woman's dowry is in charge of her own dowry. If there is no surprise, she will not have to return to Yuzhou's children in the future. Xiao Xie's calculations is good, and she will save it for her descendants for nothing. More than 100,000 family businesses, not counting the profits of dowrying those industries in the future.
What a wonderful move is an empty-gloved white wolf, but unfortunately it is a mirror flower, moon and yellow dream.
The purpose of "dismantling" on the beautiful scenery was achieved, and she accompanied the old princess for a long time before saying goodbye. Mother Zhu followed Yijing to Guan Suiyuan. On the way, she did not forget to be grateful: "The imperial concubine reminded me to reunite the old slave with her descendants. She did not say thank her great kindness. Only the imperial concubine had instructions, and the old slave did not dare not disobey in the future. ."
M Mother Zhu these days, watched Xiao Xie's confrontation with the imperial concubine coldly and never took advantage of it. She is more sure that the Chu Palace will be the "world" of the imperial concubine in the future. Compared with the concubine of the concubine, the concubine is more generous and righteous. Of course, she is the "bright Lord". At the same time, the concubine can mention her and successfully rescue her children. When the two families separated from the Zhengong Mansion, Mother Zhu was even more grateful and looked at this situation. Sooner or later, the second wife would be "sweep away" by the imperial concubine. Her family will be rich and rely on the concubine in the future.
Of course, you have to be in a hurry to show loyalty.
Looking at the beautiful scene, Mother Zhu also contributed a lot today. She had a lot of wink, restrained her usual indifference and gave her a gentle smile: "At present, the second aunt is still holding the middle gift in her hand, and she has to be more cautious. Don't let her really take the handle and make things difficult. As you know, her grandmother is kind and kind, and her second aunt is both a niece and daughter-in-law. Grandma still has weight in her heart... Today, the second aunt will definitely think that I demolished the stage behind my back. Mother is a close friend of my grandmother. If you pretend not to know, the second aunt will definitely be angry and hateful. Mother will remind the second aunt first.
As soon as Mother Zhu heard this, she knew that the concubine was going to provoke Xiao Xie, but it was beneficial and harmless for her to do this. She quickly smiled and agreed, and turned around and went straight to Lixiangyuan.
