My father-in-law is Kangxi

Zhang Tingzan looked at Zhang Tingyu, and said, "You can weigh gains and losses outside, but you don't have to weigh them at home; you can think about pros and cons outside, but you don't have to think about pros and cons at home. Apart from being your own size, you are still a son and an elder brother!"

He didn't want to say anything else, so he went to the upper room to pick up his wife.

The banquet is over, although the couple are family members, but they don't live here now, so they should go home.

*
Dutong Mansion, main house.

Fu Song looked at Jue Luo and Qi Xi, feeling very sad.

It was supposed to be a happy day, but Zhang Tingyu's attitude was so alienated, it really turned into bowing his head to marry a daughter-in-law, which made his family angry.

Qi Xi shook his head to Fu Song and said: "Don't worry about it, since you don't agree with each other, you just don't want to get close in the future. Uncle Zhang's temperament is more honest."

Jue Luo also said: "There is no perfect thing in this world. If it is really perfect, then you have to think about whether it is a lie. Now it is not a bad thing. It is better than being close and having bad intentions on the surface."

Zhu Liang was a little confused, and said: "Is this picking Zhang Erye's attitude? There's nothing to be picky about, no one likes sisters to get married. Back then, when my sister and Jiu Ye made their first appointment, I felt bad too. He said, but also forced a smile."

Fu Song looked at Zhu Liang, feeling a little worried.

This is the eldest son of Dutong Mansion, a bit too innocent.

To be honest, Zhu Liang's aptitude is indeed inferior to that of Xiaosan.

Sunu Beizi wanted to seek the title of uncle for his son-in-law, not only because he was a fan of titles, but also because the mistress' temperament was better than that of Zhuliang, the eldest son.

Qi Xi looked at his son and said patiently: "You were only fourteen at the time, and you knew how to treat guests well, suppressing the pain in your heart. Zhang Tingyu is in his twenties this year, but he is still above Qiqing, so it seems rude, but he also falls behind. No good, Zhang Xiang will think about teaching his son."

Zhu Liang was a little dazed, looked at Fu Song and said, "Is there anything else you can be picky about, my cousin? Don't tell my cousin, but my sister-in-law said it to the scholars. If you're lucky, the lady of the Juren and the lady of the Jinshi will come down all the way. Good luck." Not good, I will be a talented lady all my life..."

Jue Luo sneered and said: "It's not picky, it's a posturing, it's not for us to show disapproval of this marriage in front of Zhang's relatives and friends, and when others derogate Zhang Xiang and Master Zhang, they won't say He can't even say a few words of praise."

Zhu Liang was dumbfounded.

With Zhang Tingyu's demeanor, looking at it as bright as a bright moon, it is very easy to make people feel good about it. How could there be such a calculation?
He asked Fu Song in a low voice, "Is Ernie thinking too much?"

It also makes people think too badly.

Fu Song thought about it carefully, and said: "Perhaps Zhang Tingyu himself didn't realize that he thought this way, and he just chose this way naturally. The literati are so hypocritical, that's what they said."

Zhu Liang shook his head and said: "The children of this family, why are there different people? I am fine with Master Zhang."

When Fu Song thought of Zhang Tingzan, he also felt a lot of irony.

That is Zhang's eldest son, my future uncle, and the future head of the Zhang family. At worst, my family will only get along with the long family in the future.

He was frightened by Zhang Tingyu's behavior, and he was worried about the reaction of the other sons of the Zhang family. If he really behaved like Zhang Tingyu, then he would have to keep a respectful distance.

Who doesn't have a bit of arrogance, and doesn't know how to put a hot face on a cold butt.

Since the tenth elder brother showed up, it is not easy to continue to "rehabilitate" at the North Sixth Institute, just like the ninth elder brother, every time he comes to Changchun Garden to check the room.

The duty room ice basin here is rich, come here at the beginning of the morning, go home for dinner at noon, and come back for an hour in the afternoon, the days are leisurely and carefree.

His busy errands in the past few days are to bring a few Jueluo pen-style checks of the clan and Jueluo population, and record all the clan daughters who are poor and unable to marry.

He also worked in the clan's mansion for two years, and when he knew everyone well, someone came up to him and whispered, "Master Shi, the idle clan's livelihood is difficult, not only can't afford to marry a daughter, but it's also difficult to marry a wife. Why didn't the emperor think about this?"

If that grace is also given, there is nothing to worry about.

Elder Brother Ten snorted coldly and said, "If you really can't marry a daughter-in-law, you're asking for it yourself. Don't idle clans also receive money and rice? If you eat and drink too much, if you can't marry a daughter-in-law, then cut off that good one." That's it, to save the old waste from giving birth to the little waste..."

There are also those unsatisfactory families who marry the clan daughter and Jue Luo daughter as the second wife and side house. In addition to saving the dowry, it is also a dowry gift, and it is shabby to save it for the son to marry.

These bastards who sell girls still want grace?

It's time to stop paying for rice and go begging for food.

After a few days, there are more than 30 poor people in the idle clan according to the statistics.

These people are not from the Dazong of the Wangfu, but the children of the Xiaozong like the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion.

Without a large subsidy, with 85 taels of money and rice, you can work hard to take concubines and have children.

Anyway, when they come to a family like them without a title, all the sons are treated the same, and it is not a loss to have a son.

But in this way, if there are more sons, there will be more daughters.

The whole family, 85 taels of silver a year, plus the autumn wind everywhere, will be enough to eat, unable to marry daughters, there are 41 clan daughters who are still unmarried after the age of eighteen.

This is just the clan. Jueluo's money is given by ordinary bannermen, 24 taels a year, and there are more poor families.

The tenth elder brother was shocked when he saw the list, and went back to complain to the ninth elder brother: "It is said that the emperor also has three poor relatives, which is good, there are more than thirty poor relatives!"

Brother Jiu said: "They are all hard-core crops, but they are all useless. If you stop the money and rice and make up for the errands according to your ability, do you think they still dare to eat and wait to die?"

Elder Brother Ten hurriedly said, "Brother Ninth, don't presuppose this."

There are rules for the selection of the clan and Jueluo.

If there are more clan ques and Jueluo ques, then the Eight Banners quells will be reduced, and the nobles of the Eight Banners will not be happy.

Brother Nine nodded and said: "I can't say, just repeat this sentence, Khan Ama wants to subsidize the dowry of the Zong daughter and Jue Luo daughter, your number has been counted, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs can also arrange it."

Not two days later, Brother Nine was sent to the imperial court, and he was ordered to pay 100 taels of silver per person for the clan, and 20 taels of silver per person for Jue Luo women.

Ninth elder brother agreed, and went into the city once to explain the matter to twelve elder brothers.

"There is too little silver, so we have to keep an eye on it. We can't ask people to reach out. We have to deal with it decently, and it must be real..."

Brother Nine asked Bi Tie Shi to find out the dowry list of the lord's daughter, referred to it, and pointed out a few items to tell Brother Twelve: "Clothes and jewelry account for [-]%, so don't be shy; furniture and furnishings are prepared for [-]%. The remaining [-]% will be made into silver pouches for your own use..."

Twelve Elder Brothers listened carefully, and there are a total of 41 dowries for the clan daughters and 68 dowries for Jueluo daughters.

The former is 100 taels of silver, and the latter is 20 taels of silver.

Elder Brother Twelve has been on duty for half a year, and has also been in the imperial city, so he knows a little about prices and markets.

He was a little numb, and said: "Brother Nine, 100 taels is fine, I am richer, but with these 20 taels, can I buy a dowry? A piece of silk costs three or four taels, and these 20 taels of silver are enough for four seasons clothes." Incomplete placement!"

Brother Jiu looked at him and said, "The ordinary Banner family, with 24 taels of silver a year, is enough for food and clothing?"

Elder Brother Twelve thought for a while and said, "Why don't you buy silk clothes and change to common clothes?"

The price of ordinary blue cloth is only one tenth of that of silk.

This is used as a dowry, isn't it too shabby?

Brother Jiu thought of the current division of the Prince's Mansion, who came with the palace, and the women in the family had one bolt of silk, one bolt of satin, and four bolts of cloth of various colors every year.

This is a year's clothing material.

If Jue Luo's dowry is not as good as the age of a daughter of a family, it is indeed a bit shabby and a joke.

He thought of Guangchuku, and said: "Reserve the money for the clothes first, and I will ask someone to check the account of Guangchuku later to see if I can get some old materials out of the backlog."

This good material is all dyed, and it fades over time, so it can no longer be supplied to masters at all levels, and most of them are reserved for palace appreciators.

Elder Brother Twelve heard this, but he felt lingering fear, and said, "Brother Ninth, that's Guang Chuku, isn't it easy to cause fraud?"

This involves checking accounts, which makes people feel uneasy.

Brother Nine shook his head and said: "Guang Chuku is different from other yamen, it is not a place where coats can cover the sky with one hand, two of the four chief clerks selected in the middle are selected from the six departments; One person is elected by the six ministries, even if there is corruption, it is a small matter, last month there was such a big movement in the Accounting Department, other yamen have also made up what should be made up, and it will not be bad on the books."

Not bad on the books.

If the emperor really wanted to investigate Bao Yi thoroughly, he wouldn't do so with great fanfare.

It can't be said that the family backgrounds of the doctors and Yuanwailang of the various yamen of the House of Internal Affairs are now in front of the imperial court.

Brother Twelve was relieved after hearing this.

He is not afraid of causing trouble, but he is afraid that things will be out of control, and troubles will arise later.

Two days later, elder brother Jiu took the account of Guang Chuku and went to Qingxi Bookstore to see him.

It happened that the eldest elder brother came out from the Imperial Palace. He went to the Yongding River a while ago and got a lot of sunburn. However, his red wine nose was much better, he looked refreshed, and his clothes were much tidier.

Elder Brother Jiu looked him over and said, "It's a lot more tidy. You have a new sister-in-law? When will the wine be served?"

Eldest brother patted him on the back and said: "Don't be foolish, these are new clothes that Big Gege asked someone to cut for you!"

Brother Jiu quickly patted his mouth twice and said: "Tongyan Wuji, Tongyan Wuji! What a blessing, I have won the filial piety of my niece!"

The eldest elder brother said proudly: "Nowadays, the county prince's mansion is taken care of by a big princess, and it looks very good."

Brother Jiu immediately gave a thumbs up and said: "Okay, my niece is promising, and I will make a golden abacus for my eldest niece later."

The elder brother laughed and said: "If I really want to learn the skills of your uncle, then the grandpa will not worry about it in the future!"

Brother Nine still wants to see you, and the two brothers broke up after a few words.

When he was in front of the emperor, Brother Jiu talked about the current price of silk and satin, as well as the yearly rules for young women in the palace, saying: "If you use green cloth for clothes in all seasons, the money will be enough, but it's too shameful. I used to wear the same clothes as a girl, but if I bought silk and satin, it took up a lot of money. My son thought of the clothes materials pressed by the Guangchu warehouse. The earliest ones were from the Shunzhi Dynasty. Do you want to spare some usable ones? , folded the silver to clear the account, and added it to the dowry..."

Kangxi has always been frugal and can't see waste.

Hearing that the Guangchu warehouse still has clothes materials from more than 40 years ago, he couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Why is there a backlog for so long?"

Brother Jiu has only taken over the Ministry of Internal Affairs for three years, how would he know this?
However, he took two notebooks and said: "Ama Khan, this is what Elder Brother Twelve took people over to count. One is for silks and satins of various colors that are still bright, and the other is for fabrics that have not faded enough. The previous It can still be used, and it is still in good condition; the next thing is that it can be moved out to buy clothes for the four seasons..."

It's better than continuing to press.

In this way, there will be fewer orders to go to the Jiangnan Three Weaving School next year.

Kangxi took it and looked at it, nodded, and said: "Just do as you said..."

Speaking of this, he praised a few words and said, "Not bad, this time the errand was handled carefully."

Whether these clan daughters or Jue Luo daughters are all poor and settled in the clan, they will not marry into any noble family, and they will not be able to get along with Brother Nine in the future.

Brother Nine was able to put so much effort into it. When the dowry money was not much, he still found another way to preserve everyone's face, which is very rare.

Brother Nine said: "My son is just talking. It's Brother Twelve who is careful and diligent. In three days, he has finished counting the satin warehouse. It's not easy to get up early and be greedy at night..."

Speaking of this, he thought of the leather warehouse of the Guangchu Division again, and said, "Khan Ama, do you want to count the leather warehouse as well? There are a lot of leathers that have been put into the warehouse every year, and there should be a backlog."

Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu and twitched the corners of his mouth.

No wonder everyone says Brother Jiu's hand is loose, it's really loose...
