Chapter 90: Marriage
On a good day, Eruri's tutoring class officially kicked off, and although the tenth elder brother, who usually loves to mistreat and doesn't like to sit honestly and study honestly, although he promised his ninth brother not to embarrass Eruri, but at the beginning, Eruri still had a feeling that he was forced to a dead end by an honest and excellent seedling from a professional class, and he was so mad that he had the idea of resigning directly and returning to his hometown to hide in the world.
Eruri only felt that Brother Shi's shameless and rotten question was really incoherent and logical, and even had a feeling of why this little kid was so annoying. Later, Brother Ten took out his homework for the day and asked Eruri. Eruri saw that there was a discussion question on how to deal with the relationship between relatives and the royal family. Eruri keenly realized that the prince's homework was really not as difficult as ordinary two! Erluli thought about it, and reluctantly told the tenth elder brother about the laws of the Qing Dynasty. He also talked about how to coordinate the internal political relations by saying that 'the prince broke the law and the common people were guilty of the same crime', and then began to talk about the necessity of safeguarding the rights and interests of the landlord class from the abyss of history. So he followed the train of thought and made persistent efforts to talk about the similarity between the people and the water...... After a flickering of the side recruitment, Erluli finished tutoring this question, although he gained the little eyes of the ten elder brothers, Eruri deeply felt that the work of reading with this companion is really Alexander!
Next, there is the task of playing chess, and when Eruri saw the chessboard set out by the tenth elder brother, he was happy: Let's look for death in this guy, and play chess with the first-class champion of liberal arts. But seeing that Brother Ten didn't like it, he decided that since people didn't love this thing, let him lose quickly and gorgeously. Then the two of them tasted snacks, drank tea, and Kan Dashan, during which Brother Ten asked curiously: What kind of place is Chahar. Erluli vividly described the customs and customs of Chahar, interspersed with interesting things he encountered in Chahar and interesting things he played. The two began to get along happily at this moment.
Since then, the tenth elder brother has studied hard, and he is not a little better than before, and he also carefully manages the martial arts of riding and archery, and spurs himself with the prince's inexplicable and groundless conceit, Kangxi is naturally very happy to watch, and he can't help but leave the impression that the Qi family's tutor is good.
On the other hand, the Nalan clan began to prepare for the marriage of the eldest son, focusing on the girl's appearance, character, family background, parents, etc. After seeing a few girls, I discussed it again and again with Qi Shi, and there were several alternative candidates, but we still need to look at each other further and investigate each other.
In the interval between looking at the girl, Nalan turned his head and saw the little girl's bitter face, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" Qi Buchen smiled and said, "E-niang doesn't need to ask, my sister may be worried that her sister-in-law will have a bad temper and will not get along well in the future." ”
Nalan said angrily: "Just what she thinks about a lot." Hajlan grinned and said in his heart, why am I afraid that my future sister-in-law will not be good? No matter how good it is, when it comes to the hands of your old man, you have to smooth out the hair. Alas, my brother is only a teenager and is about to marry a daughter-in-law, and my sister seems to be going to participate in the draft next year. In modern times, they are still elementary or junior high school students! I'm going to talk about marriage here, and I may not be far away, it's really painful to think about this!
The mother and daughter made fun of Hajlan a few more words, and Nalan said: "Tomorrow, you two girls and Eniang will go to your aunt's house for a banquet together, and you can talk to your future sister-in-law together." ”
The next day, Qi Buchen and Hajlan followed Nalan to their aunt's house to see their future sister-in-law. This trick is really clever, because there are many people, although there are suspicions that the purpose is not pure, and it is not sure what it means. The girls and wives are courteous, kowtow and say goodbye, the etiquette is not bad, but there are really a few mediocre looks. Hajlan, who feels that he is not a beauty, can find a lot of confidence when he sees some of them. That's her brother, and she has a lot of contact on weekdays, so it's really not bad for her, it's good, Hajilan's standards are extremely strict. Not only does it depend on the person's appearance, it's not good to be ugly, it seems that it's not okay to look frivolous, and it's cowardly like a white lotus to go out directly...... It's not okay to be fat, and it's not okay to be thin...... For a period of time after that, this was the subject of the masters in the Qi Shi Mansion. Eruri is probably embarrassed, or he is reserved about the rules of 'good young people in feudal society' that circulate internally, so he didn't even ask. Hajlan couldn't help it anymore and asked Nalan, "Why doesn't my brother speak?" ”
Nalan said half-jokingly, "You go and ask him." ”
In fact, Nalan had already asked Erluli what kind of daughter-in-law she wanted, and she probably gave a standard, she had a good number, and this time she was teasing her daughter. A man marries a daughter-in-law, it is really a lot of requirements, Erluli has a good background, and now he is still a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, which is a bit of a turtle hair and abstract. According to Eruri, he wants a virtuous wife, filial piety, family management, kindness to his younger siblings, and ......
Because he was his sister and felt that his brother was worthy of a good girl, Hajilan didn't scold: You are asking too much! In these years, is it true that all men who are better are so virtuous? Hajlan was very sorrowful.
The Nalan clan also requires that the in-laws should not be difficult to get along with, and it is best to be a girl from the concubine, and Qi Shi has another set of standards.
Hajlan said in his heart, we are all stupid, just looking at our family is so picky, you said that if the emperor's family chooses a daughter-in-law, it will not be what it will become, in our opinion, our sister is quite good, very good, if you really want to let the palace people be picky, it is estimated that it will be brushed down!
In the end, he finally chose Shu Shujue Luo, the daughter of Lang Mingde, a native of Manchuria with a white flag, who lived nearby. Shu Shujue Luo is overage, and when she started to pick up, she unfortunately met her grandfather who died, and she was not selected in that round, isn't it overage this year? Mingde is also a capable person, and he is a self-written post teacher, and now he is still the leader of the Zongren Mansion.
Hajlan remembered this Shu Shujue Luo, saying that he was overage, and he didn't go much over, and he was about the same age as Eruri, with long eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked like a very gentle person. When she returned to her room, she reluctantly drew a seven-point portrait to show Eruri based on her own memories, and from the analysis of her brother's expression, Eruri was still satisfied.
The two families have been in contact several times, and Erluli and Mingde have met in an informal setting, and they are both satisfied.
Because they live close to each other, it is convenient to come and go, and they also know each other's reputations. After finding the official media and combining the eight characters, he began to start the formal marriage process. The Qi family wants to plan a courtyard for Erluli to live in, and Shu Shujue Luo's side wants to come over to measure the size of the house and send the furniture, and issue a list of the people who accompany the marriage. Then it is time to choose an auspicious day and set it. First small, then big, there is no need to go into detail. One of them is to dry the dowry, how many houses and how much land I have accompanied, how much furniture and how soft, and carry it all the way from my mother's house to my mother-in-law's house. At this time, the atmosphere is not too bad, everyone marries a little more modestly, Shu Shujue Luo's dowry is sixty-four lifts, a small village, all kinds of soft furniture. Bring four dowry rings, a grandmother, and a two-room family.
Qi Buchen and Hajilan helped the Nalan clan, Peng Chun was in Beijing, and his wife Shu Mulu also came to help. The wedding is festive and busy, and it is best not to talk about irrelevant topics first, Hajran put this aside first, and glanced at his sister-in-law's dowry, even the toilet, which was really ...... Even if you don't get married, you can live with this property.
After the lively and festive wedding, Qi Shifu added people, and Erluli had a virtuous little daughter-in-law. In a broad sense, the wedding process includes returning to the door and living in the opposite month. When the bride returned to the door, she was asked how she was doing at her mother-in-law's house, Shu Shujue Luo lowered her head and said: "He is good to me, the sisters-in-law are not difficult to get along with, and my mother-in-law didn't say anything, and she is fine." Her mother asked carefully about family affairs, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and whether the food was delicious, and learned that Shu Shujue Luo had a small kitchen, and said with a smile: "It's not bad for you." People don't know what you're like before, and they can't leave everything to you. Take care of the affairs in your own yard first, and let your mother-in-law see your ability, so that she can rest assured, right? Serve your mother-in-law well, and get along well with your sister-in-law......"
"Your sister-in-law is measured, and you have to get along well with her," Nalan also told his daughters at home.
