Preparations for the Fucha Family
Chapter 1268 Preparations for the Fucha Family
Indus Court, the upper room.
After hearing about Li Rongbao's visit in person while dragging his sick body, Chu Yu also hesitated: "At this point, it's really hard to complain about Fucha's family. What should we do?"
Cao Yong thought for a while, and said: "In terms of family background and character, this Fu Qing is also considered good. But is it really so difficult to be the eldest daughter-in-law? Have you been tired all these years?"
In the end, there was a bit of concern in his words.
In this world, no matter what status a woman is, she will be detained in the inner house in the end.
He can understand and pity, but after all, he is not a woman, so he can't empathize with her.
After hearing this, Chu Yu said, "It's my blessing to be able to marry the master, and to have such a kind and loving mother-in-law as the old lady. It's just a woman from an aristocratic family, how many people are as blessed as me? Don't talk about others, just talk about it." Over there in the East Mansion, the master also knows how the second siblings came here."
In the final analysis, it is because the eldest daughter-in-law has to serve her mother-in-law and set rules in front of her, and is just worried about meeting a superb mother-in-law.
"Tomorrow, I will ask people to inquire about the temperament of the third wife of the Fucha family. Since the Fucha family can be selected as the prince's concubine, the parents can't make mistakes if they are duped." Cao Yong said.
Chu Yu still objected: "If the eldest son of the Fucha family is still alive, this marriage is also negotiable. How many years will you have to take care of the younger ones?"
Cao Yong frowned and said: "If you don't consider their family, what about the current rumors?"
Chu Yu was speechless and speechless.
The atmosphere in the room was a little dignified.
Chu Yu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Master is the second young master of the Fucha family?"
Cao Yong nodded and said: "Before I thought about finding someone with a low family background, who can take care of me here in the mansion. But now that everyone in the two mansions is in the officialdom, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be ups and downs. People's hearts are changeable, even now Looking for an honest and dutiful son-in-law, I don't know what face he will have at that time. Fucha's family is a dignitary, and his daughter is the prince's concubine. From now on, it will be... Under the eyes of everyone, he must abide by the rules everywhere, pay attention Fame. If there are no accidents, Fu Cha's family will be wealthy and peaceful."
Chu Yu knew the meaning of her husband's words.
The current four princes and concubines are also the future empress, the future empress dowager.
The foundation of the Cao family is a bit weak after all, and the honor and favor are all in the emperor's whim, not as deep-rooted as the Fucha family.
Chu Yu was a little moved by her husband's words, but she still struggled and said, "Those big family members feel scalp numb just thinking about it, how can Tian Hui bear this?"
Concern leads to chaos, and the husband and wife can't make up their minds for a while, and they discussed until midnight, but they couldn't come up with a charter.
A night of nothing to say is the day when Fucha's family feasts on guests.
Although Li Rongbao has always been a foreign official, but the Fucha family has a chief assistant, who can not give face to this in the officialdom?
Not to mention that Ma Qi is now a Bachelor of the Palm, who happens to be Cao Yong's immediate superior.On Cao Yong's side, he had received the post a long time ago, and when he came out of the Yamen, he had to go through it.
Li Rongbao's mansion is filled with congratulatory guests.
Unsurprisingly, it was Ma Qi, not Li Rongbao, who came out to entertain the guests.
Although some people were curious about why the prince's father-in-law didn't come out to entertain guests, but after Ma Qi pleaded guilty on behalf of his younger brother, no one really questioned it.To put it bluntly, half of the congratulatory guests came here on horseback, half of them came to give gifts, and few of them paid attention to Li Rongbao who had been letting his job outside.
Everyone is a person of status, although some people looked at Cao Yong and Ma Qi and muttered, but no one said anything gossip in person.
Only Brother Twelve looked a little uncomfortable.
With the status of Cao Yong, it is not good to wait too long, otherwise he will be suspected of being an official.
Therefore, Cao Yong didn't stay at Fucha's house for a long time, and after a cutscene, he came out from Fucha's house.
Brother Twelve followed.
No matter in terms of status, or in terms of relatives' seniority, Twelve Elder Brothers are the elders, while Cao Yong is the junior.
But at this time, the twelfth elder brother didn't have the confidence to express his apology more sincerely.
It's just that at this moment, the rumors have spread, so what's the use of Brother Twelve apologizing?
Speaking of Twelve Elder Brothers, from the unfavored concubine prince to the powerful prince in charge of the flag affairs in the last years of Kangxi, because Yongzheng didn't like it, he was demoted one after another, and he has gone so far as to recite words.
Cao Yong was full of resentment and resentment, so he couldn't say much, or else he would fall into the eyes of others, and Cao Yong would be "adding insult to injury".After all, in the capital, there are no secrets. Maybe the meeting and conversation between the two will be on that desk tonight.
When Cao Yong returned to the mansion, Chu Yu also inquired about it.
Li Rongbao's wife is Shu Mulu's family, the niece of Xu Yuanmeng, a great scholar at that time, and also came from a noble family in the Eight Banners.
Although Li Rongbao has several concubines, the relationship between the husband and wife is also compatible, and they have three sons and a daughter.In addition to the eldest son, the second son, and the eldest daughter, there is also a youngest son.
Of the remaining seven sons and daughters, two died, leaving four sons and one daughter.Two of the concubines are already married, the remaining two concubines are minors, and the concubine's daughter is even younger, at the age of seven or eight.
It seems that Yongzheng appointed the Fucha clan as the concubine of the fourth prince, not knowing whether it was because of Ma Qi, or because of the Shu Mulu clan.
It is said that daughters are like mothers, and Shu Mulu's family is good at giving birth, virtuous, and she came from a scholarly family in the Eight Banners. She is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is a good woman in the eyes of the world.As a daughter of the Fucha family, she can't be wrong.
"The Shu Mulu family and the third aunt's grandma can talk about getting married, but it's a bit far away. However, it's true to say that they have a good temper. This Fu Qing also asked someone to inquire about it. There are two people in the house who were serving earlier. Your girl is a few years older than Fu Qing." Chu Yu said, feeling dissatisfied after all.
Considering Fu Qing's age, Cao Yong really has nothing to say.
That's how it is in this world.
Not to mention others, but his own son, who is only sixteen this year, and he almost took in someone from the house a few days ago.
Think of these, Cao Yong a little impatient.
The married daughter-in-law can be "virtuous", but I don't want my daughter to be "virtuous" in the future.
"For a family like the Fucha family, the people who come and go are all reasonable families; if the family status is low, the people who come and go will be mixed." Chu Yu said after consideration.
Yesterday it was Cao Yong who was interested in Fu Cha's family and wanted to convince his wife, but today it is Chu Yu's turn to think that Fu Cha's family can also be noticed.
The husband and wife looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"It's me. Tianhui hasn't reached Ji, why is she in such a hurry? You can't just promise your daughter out in a hurry for the sake of talking to others? If you really have a destiny with the Fucha family, it's okay to get married three years later." It's not too late. If there is no fate, no one will remember this in three years. I don't believe it, our daughter is still worried about getting married." Cao Yong said.
Chu Yu caressed her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "It's really worrying. Regardless of the reputation of the Fucha family, it's really worrying to make a marriage in such a hurry."

In Li Rongbao's mansion, the guests in the front yard have not dispersed yet, and the feasts in the colorful shed in the courtyard are still there.
Ma Qi and Fu Qing were no longer there, only Li Rongbao's two concubines and other older nephews entertained the remaining guests.
At this time, Ma Qi and Fu Qing were in front of Li Rongbao's bed.
Li Rongbao was lying on the bed with a pale face.
Shu Mulu stood aside with red eyes.
Ma Qi sat on the stool in front of the bed, looking at his dying brother, his brows twisted into the word "Chuan".
"Second brother...I'm afraid I won't be able to last for a few days..." Li Rongbao said with difficulty: "The rest of your nephews and nieces, please ask second brother to take care of them..."
Ma Qi stood up abruptly, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't endure it, I have to endure it. Even if it's not for the Fucha family, I still have to think about the eldest girl."
When weddings and weddings collide, even ordinary people care about them, not to mention that the Fucha family is going to marry into the royal family.
With a reputation of being ungrateful and unlucky, the days to come will be hard to live.
Li Rongbao smiled wryly and said, "I want to endure it too, but I know my own body. In the end, it's fate... From great-grandfather, apart from the second brother, who else in the Fucha family survived the hurdle of Jiazi?"
Hearing this sad sound, Shu Mulu couldn't help crying.
Ma Qi stared and said, "What are you thinking about, what kind of barrier? I can live a good life, why can't you?"
It turns out that from the generation of Ma Qi's great-grandfather, the men in the Fucha family have not lived long. The great-grandfathers of Ma Qi and Li Rongbao died at 56, their grandfather lived to 58, and their father only lived to 43.
The two brothers who have died of illness, the eldest lived to the 43rd year of Kangxi and died at the age of 57. The third brother Ma Wu died last year and was 59 all the year round.
Logically speaking, living to fifty in this era would not be considered a short lifespan, but after all, it is not a long lifespan.
"I'm also looking forward to getting through it, but I have to be on the safe side..." Li Rongbao struggled to speak, but his thoughts were still clear: "If you can't make it through, I'll ask my second brother to make the decision, and if I can hide it, I can hide it for a few days..."
Ma Qi's body suddenly bent down.
Although he was full of unwillingness, he also knew that his brother was right.
No matter what, always start to prepare, so as to save time and be too late.
Thinking of this, Ma Qi nodded slowly: "You can take a good rest, don't worry about these things, everything is up to me,"
After hearing this, Li Rongbao closed his eyes with peace of mind, and fell into a drowsy sleep.
Shu Mulu stepped forward, put down the tent, and everyone retreated to the outer hall.
"Arrange some proper people to take care of the yard here...prepare more ice..." Ma Qi sat down and said to Shu Mulu.
"Second Uncle..." Shu Mulu's words were choked up, showing a bit of despair.
"Tomorrow will be fine. The prince will not welcome him in person. I can also support the palace banquet. According to the regulations revised a few years ago, the prince Fujin will not return home until nine days after his marriage... There is really a contingency. You can't hide it from brother, you can only hide it from outsiders..." Ma Qi was also in his seventies, and his face was full of fatigue.
Shu Mulu listened in a daze, only feeling sad in his heart.
Fu Qing stood aside, somewhat dazed, and couldn't believe that his father had reached this point.
There was no words for a while, only the choking sound of Shu Mulu's body was heard in the room.
After a while, Ma Qi sighed, and said: "Young lady, you have to make preparations early. If... I will pick up the third girl from the Dongzhimen side, and when the eldest girl returns, bring her into the palace. ..."
Weng Guotu is Ma Qi's second cousin, and the two have a great-grandfather.The Fucha family is a large family in the Eight Banners, and only the descendants of Gaozu's line are under the leadership of three assistants.Weng Guotu also succeeded his father's ancestors and served as a leader, but no son died of illness, and his half-brother took over his position, leaving behind a daughter who became an orphan under the fence...

Khan, after 1268, it will be 1270 directly. I can't count, and the title cannot be modified, so let's go ahead.Finally, before 0 o'clock, we will continue to work hard tomorrow.
