In the original Qing Dynasty, most of the royal children got married at the age of twelve or thirteen. Take Kangxi himself, he got married at the age of twelve. In modern times, it is unimaginable and unacceptable for a person who is still a primary school student to get married and take on the responsibilities of a family! But in this feudal society more than 200 years ago, this was the conventional practice recognized by everyone. It's a normal thing.

It wasn't until Shuyun proposed that if a man and a woman get married at a young age, if they give birth, it will hinder the mother herself and the health of the children she gives birth to. Kangxi combined his own experience, which has been confirmed several times. In the end, Shuyun's opinion was adopted. The legal age of marriage was raised to 16. Originally, Shuyun meant that she wanted to set this age at eighteen years old. In the end, it was not possible to make the trip because of too much resistance.

Dragon Egg and Tuan Tuan are both fifteen years old this year. Tuan Tuan is a girl, it's good to say that the princess of the Qing Dynasty has always been late to get married, and it will not be a problem to wait for another three or five years. But according to the age of the dragon egg, he will have to get married next year. And Xiaocao, their brother is only two years younger than the dragon egg. After the dragon egg matter is done, it will soon be the turn of the three of them.

These, Shuyun has a vague number in her heart, especially the eldest son of Longdan, where the age is, Shuyun just wants to ignore it. Just what to do exactly? When to start preparing? What are the steps? and other related questions, Shuyun did not have a clear answer in her mind.

It's not that Shuyun didn't succeed in life. How can a person who is a mother not care about the marriage of her children. It's just that Shuyun has lived two lives, but it is the first time to raise a child, and she is still in ancient times. Some experiences and observations from previous lives. None of this applies here. Shuyun always thought that it was still early anyway, and there was still more than a year. Everything is in time, and I will slowly understand the situation clearly.

It's not an idea. Kangxi suddenly proposed to himself today that he wanted to start seeing his daughter-in-law. This is really, the problem seems to have fallen from the sky all at once, and it is instantly placed in front of Shuyun's eyes.

Shuyun didn't react for a long time.

But if you think about it carefully, according to the royal rules and methods, it is normal to start thinking about the choice of daughter-in-law now. Not to mention the royal family, even in the homes of ordinary people, if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, don't you have to start thinking about candidates for a long time in advance?

It's just that Shuyun really hasn't experienced this. Shuyun's previous life. When I was young, there were many arranged marriages in the countryside, but Shuyun was born in the city, and her family was relatively open-minded, and most of the people around her got married through free love. Later, the more you go, especially after the reform and opening up, whether it is urban or rural. Arranged marriages are rarely seen again.

So among them, what kind of procedure is it, what kind of selection method is, and what are the doorways in it. Sook-yun has no idea at all. Especially for the royal family in feudal society, there must be more rules and exquisiteness. It's really not something that a reborn person can play. This self-knowledge Shuyun still has.

And as soon as she thought of this, Shuyun couldn't help but feel apprehensive in her heart. That's his own son, and he has to come with four of them. Marry a wife and marry a virtuous man! Regardless of modern antiquity. This is the truth. If you are good, you can become a virtuous helper. Bad, don't talk about it, if you don't get it right, you're a troublemaker. If there is a slight mistake and the wrong person is chosen, it will be a lifetime for his son.

However, Shuyun is sure of one thing, she must not choose Guo Luo Luo for Xiaoshu.

In her previous life, whether in the official history, wild history, or TV series, Shuyun had never seen much about this woman's deeds. It is said that Wang Xifeng in "Dream of Red Mansions" is based on her. You can imagine how pungent this woman is. Of course, this is secondary, radish and cabbage have their own loves, if her character can really get along with Xiaoshu, Shuyun doesn't have to obstruct it. In this regard, Shuyun is still very open-minded. The point is that she can't have children, which is going to kill her. As a mother, no matter whether she is open or not in modern or ancient times, it is impossible for her to help her son marry her son when she knows that this woman cannot give birth to her son.

If there really is such a thing, it is either the Virgin Mary, or it lacks the eyes of the heart.

Of course, there are also many people who say that the problem lies with the eighth elder brother. The original eighth elder brother, Shuyun didn't know what to do, but his own little tree, Shuyun still knew very well as a doctor, there was no problem at all.

Some people may say that since Xiaoshu is fine, then he may be able to give birth to Guo Luo Luo's family, the two of them are originally official partners, and it is said that the relationship is quite good. Wouldn't it be good to fulfill them?

Whether the relationship is good or not, Shuyun didn't see it. Life is "like a person drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing". Originally, they had a good relationship in history, but now the situation is different, what the final result will be, who can know what the Tao will be? And when it comes to the issue of his son's heirs, it is still in an era where such attention is paid to inheritance. If Shuyun is really stupid, she is gambling with the happiness of her son's life.

Don't forget, in the original history, the eighth elder brother also had children, but the number was small, and there was only one son. But this is enough to show that the original eighth elder brother can also be born, but it is more difficult than others in this regard. , but this only son is not from Guo Luoluo's belly. So who exactly is the problem, it is worth pondering.

Another point, now the relationship between Shuyun and Concubine Yi is very stiff, isn't it uncomfortable to let her son marry her niece?

Therefore, Guo Luo Luo was completely excluded from Xiaoshu's daughter-in-law by Shuyun. Although she was also the one who joined the women's army this time, Tuan Tuan also mentioned it to Shuyun at lunch today, saying that this little girl is bright and generous, lively and likable, and she is more outstanding among a group of little sisters. But Shuyun is still not ready to change her original intention.

"What? Still haven't figured it out yet? Kangxi squeezed Shuyun's hand and asked a little strangely. I have explained it so clearly and in detail, why has it been half a day, and Yunyun still hasn't responded?

"Oh, no, just thinking about something else." Shuyun came back to her senses, but her eyes still seemed a little dull, and her words were a little vague. However, soon Shuyun reacted, and without waiting for Kangxi to ask again, Shuyun continued: "I was just thinking, this time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, the children are going to marry a daughter-in-law, am I also old, I'm afraid that some people will start to dislike it." ”

Kangxi Ha Luha smiled and hugged Shuyun, and said in a rather cheerful tone: "Don't worry, no matter how old my Yunyun is, I won't dislike it." What's more," he said, he looked at Shuyun in a daze, and continued with a provocative tone: "My concubine is not old at all now, she is still young, and she is still young!" ”

This old rascal~scoundrel! Shuyun felt that she shouldn't have said something like that just now to ease the atmosphere. It was such a mistake to ask this guy to seize the opportunity to tease himself.

Seeing that Shuyun ignored him, Kangxi didn't care, and was still very happy.

After a while, Shuyun couldn't stand it anymore, slapped him, and said honestly: "Don't be stupid, the draft is mainly for our sons to choose a daughter-in-law, what kind of charter is it?" Tell me better, I don't have any success in my head right now. ”

On the issue of picking a daughter-in-law, Shuyun already felt very blind. For this draft girl, Shuyun's eyes were even darker, and she had no idea where to start.

So-woon has never been exposed to the draft. When she followed Kangxi, Shuyun did not go through this procedure.

This draft system is a policy formulated by Lao Kang Ta Da Da, Emperor Shunzhi in order to restrict the women of the Mongolian Borzigit clan from occupying the harem for a long time, and it was only introduced in the tenth year of Shunzhi, and it has been used to this day, and will continue in the future until the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

Draft girls are also divided into big picks and small picks.

According to the new regulations promulgated in the 18th year of Kangxi, the big challenge should be held once every three years, and all the officials of the Eight Banners of the Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han armies, the sergeants of another household, and the women aged between 16 and 18 in the families of idle and strong men must participate in the election, and women over the age of 19 will no longer participate. It is presided over by the household department.

The small election is held once a year, and the show girl comes from the Shangsanqi Baoyi, mainly for the selection of palace maids, presided over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This year's small election will be held in two months, which is the first time since Shuyun took over the palace affairs, but Shuyun doesn't care too much about this, she just needs to grasp the big frame, and leave the rest to Mama He and Wei Zhu to keep an eye on.

Shuyun is now discussing with Kangxi about the triennial challenge. In the Kangxi Dynasty, so far, except for one suspension during the war with the three feudatories, this work has been carried out in an orderly manner for so many years. It's just that Shuyun has never participated. Some basic common sense is well known, but the specific process is not clear at all.

Kangxi glanced at Shuyun helplessly again, sighed very weakly, and then could only do what to do. Still holding Shuyun's hand, while walking forward slowly, he said patiently: "You don't have to worry about the specific operation, leave it to the household department and the people below to do it, I will keep an eye on it, and there will be no problems." Now, you just have to take a good look at these girls who have joined the Women's Army, see what their character and temperament are, and if you like them, you can write them down, and I will send someone to pay attention to them, and when it is time to read them, you will not be idle, and you will have to take the lead in this matter. Pick out all the good ones, and when the time comes, I will take a good look at them, and strive to choose a good daughter-in-law for our sons. ”

In other words, in addition to being responsible for watching people, Shuyun can be a hands-off shopkeeper???

Shuyun was embarrassed and said, is it really good to do this???

Kangxi (to be continued......)
