Chapter 1271: Fucha’s family’s preparations

Wutong Garden, upper room.

After hearing about Li Rongbao's personal visit with his sick body, Chu Yu was also hesitant: "At this point, it's really hard to blame the Fucha family anymore. What should I do?"

Cao Yong thought for a while and said, "Fu Qing is a good person in terms of family background and character. But is it really that difficult for his eldest daughter-in-law to be? Have you been tired of you over the years?"

At the end of the day, he had some concern in his words.

In this world, no matter what kind of identity a woman is, she will eventually be detained in the inner house.

He can understand and be compassionate, but after all, he is not a woman and cannot empathize with her.

Chu Yu heard this and said, "It is my blessing to marry the master and have a kind and kind mother-in-law like an old lady. But how many women from aristocratic families are as blessed as me? Not to mention others, I only talk about how the second brother and sister came from the East Mansion, and the master also knows."

After all, it was because the eldest daughter-in-law wanted to serve her mother-in-law and set rules in front of her mother-in-law, and she was worried about meeting a top-notch mother-in-law.

"Tomorrow I will ask someone to inquire about it and see what the third wife of the Fucha family is? Since Fucha can be elected as the prince's legitimate concubine, her parents' ethics will not be wrong." Cao Yong said.

Chu Yu still objected: "If the eldest son of the Fucha family is still alive, the marriage can be negotiated. There are so many small people below, how many years will it take to take care of?"

Cao Yong frowned and said, "If you don't consider their family, what should you do if you are now rumor?"

Chu Yu was speechless when he heard it and couldn't speak.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit solemn.

Chu Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "Is the second young master of Fucha's family?"

Cao Yong nodded and said, "I thought I could find a low-ranking family, so I could take care of it in the mansion. But now the people in both mansions are in the officialdom, so it is difficult to maintain a fluctuation. People's hearts are changing. Even if I find an honest and honest son-in-law now, I don't know what my face will be at that time. The Fucha family is a noble family and has a daughter as the prince's legitimate concubine. In the future... in front of everyone, they have to abide by the rules and pay attention to their reputation. If nothing unexpected happens, the Fucha family will be a prosperous and peaceful life for a hundred years."

Chu Yu knew what her husband meant.

The current fourth prince's legitimate concubine is also the future queen and the future queen.

The foundation of the Cao family is a little thinner, and the honor and favor are all in the emperor's thoughts, not as deep-rooted as the Fucha family.

Chu Yu was a little moved by her husband, but she still struggled and said, "That family, I feel numb when I think about it. How could Tianhui bear this?"

Care is a mess, and the couple can't make up their minds for a while. They discussed until midnight, but they couldn't come up with a charter.

No words all night is the day when the Fucha family celebrates guests.

Although Li Rongbao has always been a foreign official, the Fucha family has a chief minister, who can not give this face in the officialdom?

Not to mention that Ma Qi is now the Grand Secretary of the Head Office, who happens to be Cao Yong's direct superior. Cao Yong has received a post from the office and has been sent to the government office, so he will never be able to go on the road.

In Li Rongbao's mansion, there are a lot of honors.

Unexpectedly, it was Ma Qi, not Li Rongbao, who came out to socialize with the guests.

Although some people were curious about why the prince and father-in-law didn't come out to entertain guests, no one really made a decision after Ma Qi accused his younger brother. To put it bluntly, half of the He Guests came from Ma Qi, and half were for gifts. There were not many Li Rongbao who were paying attention to being left outside the office.

Everyone is a person with status. Although some people are looking at Cao Yong and Ma Qi and muttering, no one is talking in front of them.

Only the Twelfth Prince, with a little uncomfortable look.

It is not easy to stay in Cao Yong's identity, otherwise it would be suspected that Ah Shangguan would be suspected.

Therefore, Cao Yong did not stay at Fucha's house for a long time. After leaving the scene, he came out of Fucha's house.

The twelfth prince followed.

Whether in terms of identity value or relatives’ seniority, the twelfth prince is the elder, and Cao Yong is a humble young man.

But at this time, the twelfth prince was not confident and expressed his apology sincerely.

But at this time, the rumors have spread out. What's the use of the Twelfth Prince apologizing?

Speaking of the twelfth prince, he went from an unpopular prince to a real-powerful prince who was in charge of flag affairs in the late Kangxi years, because he was disliked by Yongzheng, he was demoted one after another and gave up his title one after another.

Cao Yong was full of resentment and didn't want to say much, otherwise it would be Cao Yong's "strike in the wrong" in the eyes of others. After all, there is no secret in the capital. Maybe the meeting between the two and the conversation between them will run to the desk tonight.

When Cao Yong returned to his residence, Chu Yu also found out one or two.

Li Rongbao's wife was Shu Mulu, the cousin of Xu Yuanmeng, the grandson of the current dynasty, and was also from a noble family of the Eight Banners.

Although Li Rong kept several concubines, the relationship between the couple was also in harmony, and they had three sons and one daughter. In addition to the eldest son, the second son and the eldest daughter, there was also a young son in his old age.

Among the remaining seven concubines and daughters, two died young, and four concubines and one concubine. Two of them have been married, and two concubines are left underage, and the concubines are even younger, seven or eight years old.

It seems that Yongzheng appointed Fu Cha as the legitimate concubine of the fourth prince, but it was unknown whether it was for Ma Qi or Shu Mulu.

It is said that daughters are like mothers. Shu Mulu is good at giving birth and virtuous, and is also from the Eight Banners and scholars. She is well-educated and well-informed, and is a good woman in the eyes of the world. Fucha, a daughter, naturally cannot be wrong.

"The Shu Mulu and his third aunt can be considered as close as a couple, but they are a bit far away. However, it is said that they have a good temper. Fu Qing also asked someone to inquire about it. There were two people in the room, both of whom were served earlier, and they were a few years older than Fu Qing." Chu Yu said, and was dissatisfied.

Thinking about Fu Qing's age, Cao Yong really has nothing to say.

This is the way of this world.

Not to mention others, it’s just his own son. This year is only sixteen, and I almost took over a house some days ago.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong was a little impatient.

A daughter-in-law who marrys can be "virtuous" but she doesn't want her daughter to be "virtuous" in her future life.

"A portal like the Fucha family is a reasonable family; if the family is low, the family will be mixed." Chu Yu said carefully.

Yesterday, Cao Yong was interested in the Fucha family and wanted to convince his wife. Today, it was Chu Yu's turn to think that the Fucha family could also be attracted by it.

The couple looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"It was me who was attached to the face. Tianhui was not so anxious before she could finish her hair. She couldn't hurry up and let her daughter go out for the sake of others. If she really had a fate with the Fucha family, it wouldn't be too late to get married in three years. If she didn't have a fate, no one would remember this in three years. I don't believe it, our daughter is still worried about marrying." Cao Yong said.

Chu Yu stroked his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's really worrying. No matter how well Fucha's family reputation is, it's really worrying to make a marriage in a hurry."

In Li Rongbao's mansion, the guests in the front yard have not yet dispersed, and the banquet in the courtyard is still there.

Ma Qi and Fu Qing were no longer there, only Li Rongbao's two concubines and other older nephews were entertaining the remaining guests.

At this time, Ma Qi and Fu Qing were in front of Li Rongbao's bed.

Li Rongbao lay on the bed, his face faded.

Shu Mulu stood aside with red eyes.

Ma Qi sat on the stool in front of the bed, looking at his dying brother, his eyebrows twisted into the character "chuan".

"Second brother... I'm afraid I can't stand it for a few days..." Li Rong said: "Your nephews and nieces are left, so please take care of me..."

Ma Qi stood up "Teng" and gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't bear it, you have to bear it. Even if it's not for the Fucha family, you have to think about the big girl."

Even ordinary families care about the events of weddings and weddings, let alone the royal family that Fucha wants to marry into.

If a reputation of defeating relatives and having no blessings comes out, the days ahead will not be able to live.

Li Rongbao smiled bitterly and said, "I want to endure it too, but I know my own body. After all, it's fate... Starting from my great-grandfather, who else in the Fucha family has survived the straits of Jiazi, except for the second brother?"

Listening to this sad voice, Shu Mulu could no longer help but cry.

Ma Qi glared and said, "What are you thinking about? What kind of obstacles in Jiazi? I can live well, why can't you?"

It turns out that since Ma Qi's great-grandfather's generation, the men of the Fucha family were not considered long-lived. Ma Qi and Li Rongbao's great-grandfather were gone at fifty-six, grandfather lived to fifty-eight, and father lived to forty-three.

The two brothers who had died of illness lived to the 43rd year of Kangxi and died at the age of 57. The third brother Ma Wu died last year, and he was 59 years old.

Logically speaking, living to fifty in this era is not considered a short life, but the age of life is not high.

"I also hope to get through it, but I always have to be careful..." Although Li Rongbao spoke hard, his thinking was clear: "If I can't get through it, I'll ask my second brother to make the decision. If I can hide it, I'll hide it for a few days..."

Ma Qi's body suddenly hunched down.

Although he was unwilling to accept it, he knew that his younger brother was right.

No matter what, you have to start preparing and save time.

Thinking of this, Ma Qi nodded slowly: "You can rest well, don't worry about these things, I will do everything."

After hearing this, Li Rongbao closed his eyes with peace of mind and fell asleep in a drowsy manner.

Shu Mulu stepped forward, put down the tent, and everyone retreated to the outer hall.

"In the yard here, arrange some proper care... prepare more ice..." Ma Qi sat down and said to Shu Mulu.

"The second uncle..." Shu Mulu said with sobs, revealing a little despair.

"It's okay tomorrow. The prince will not be welcomed in jealously. I can also bear the favor at the palace banquet. According to the regulations revised a few years ago, the prince and the concubine will return to the door nine days after they marry... If there is a real possibility, the emperor and the fourth prince cannot hide it, they will only hide it from outsiders..." Ma Qi was also in his seventies, and his face was exhausted.

Shu Mulu heard it in a daze and felt sad.

Fu Qing stood aside, feeling a little confused, and couldn't believe that his father had reached this point.

There was nothing to say for a moment, and only Shu Mulu's sob sound was born in the room.

After a while, Ma Qi sighed and said, "The eldest girl should also prepare early. If... she would pick up the third girl from Dongzhimen and take her into the palace when the eldest girl returns to the door..."

Weng Guotu was Ma Qi's cousin, two of them were great-grandfathers. The Fucha family was a wealthy family in the Eight Banners, and only the descendants of the Emperor Gaozu were under the three subordinates. Weng Guotu also took the position of his father and was appointed as the leader, but no son died of illness. His position was attacked by his half-brother, leaving behind a daughter, and became an orphan who was living under someone else's roof...
