Although she didn't want to admit it, Mrs. Li also knew that her sister had no good intentions.
She became discouraged and said: "I won't interfere in the marriage of the second child from now on. I'll just choose the bride for you!"
Gao Yanzhong thought for a while and said: "Things will go well if things take time. Don't be in a hurry. Master Jiu likes to tease people, so the future of the second brother is stable."
Mrs. Li nodded and wiped her tears.
In the main room, Gao Bin and his younger brother Gao Yu looked at each other.
Gao Yu was born in the 30th year of Kangxi's reign. He is only nine years old this year. He is a young boy with handsome features.
He whispered: "Is the marriage with the Chen family broken?"
Gao Bin nodded, feeling as if he had swallowed a fly.
He had been with Brother Jiu for a year, and had been ordered to inquire about information before.
This time, he inquired about the Chen family's affairs in private, so he naturally heard everything about it.
What does it mean that you can find out so much in two days?
The Chen family's erratic behavior was not only known to everyone, but also not strictly concealed.
If Master Jiu hadn't mentioned it, and the marriage had been a mess, he would have become a big joke, a living bastard in the eyes of others.
What man can bear such humiliation?
Gao Yu whispered: "It's better not to succeed. Chen Gong is arrogant. I heard her tell her mother about how her mother starved and washed clothes..."
Gao Bin frowned and said, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Gao Yu said: "His family has a secular career, which is different from ours. My aunt said that this marriage is a high-ranking one in our family."
Auntie.
Gao Bin pursed his lips, his eyes a little cold.
She is really his good aunt.
Do you think their family is a dumpling?
He has allowed his cousin to bully him since he was a child, but why should he treat it as an early age?
Gao Yu glanced at the east room and whispered: "Fortunately, grandma didn't know, otherwise she would be very angry."
Gao Bin's grandfather and grandmother have passed away, and so has his uncle.
Gao Yanzhong took his mother-in-law to his home to support her, treating her with the same respect as his own elders.
The old man is over sixty years old, but he is still very strong and never idle all day long.
Most of the clothes worn by Brother Gao Bin were cut by old ladies.
At this moment, Gao Yanzhong and his wife came out of the west room.
Mrs. Li looked at her two sons and said, "Let's set the table and I'll cook the dumplings."
Gao Bin said: "Son, go get the bowls and chopsticks."
Mrs. Li nodded.
When the mother and son left the main room, a refreshing woman also came out of the west wing: "Mother, second uncle."
She is Gao Bin's eldest sister-in-law.
Gao Bin's eldest brother joined the military camp and was not at home. The Gao family was not like other banner families, who separated into separate households when their sons got married and still lived together.
Sister-in-law Gao has already given birth to a lively and cute son, who is three or four years old. He was picked up by his uncle's family in the past two days.
With the help of Mrs. Gao, the dumplings were cooked quickly.
It's dumplings stuffed with mutton and green onions.
The table in the main room was set up, and Sister-in-law Gao went to the east room and said, "Grandma, it's time to eat."
Grandma Li put down her needlework and washed her hands in the basin on the floor before arriving in the main room.
Gao Yanzhong helped the old lady and said, "Sit down."
Grandma Li said lovingly: "Everyone, sit down."
After the old lady took her seat, everyone followed her.
It was only after the old lady took her first bite that everyone picked up their chopsticks.
It is a dumpling with a pocket of meat. The meat filling is mixed well, and it tastes like a small meat ball.
On the table, in addition to dumplings, there are four plates of side dishes.
Two plates are the pickles pickled by the Gao family themselves, one is shredded mustard greens with sesame oil, one is pickled celery, one is shredded sweet and sour cabbage, and one is shredded kelp.
There were eight plates of dumplings in total. When everyone put down their chopsticks, only one plate was left, and the rest were all eaten.
Sister-in-law Gao had already stood up to pick up the table.
Gao Yu sat down in the chair and touched his stomach, which felt bulging.
Li Shi glanced at him with an evil look on her face.
Gao Yu got up and went to help Sister Gao with work.
Grandma Li did not return to the east room. When she saw Gao Bin go out, she glanced at Mrs. Li and said, "Did something happen to the second boy's marriage?"
Ms. Li lowered her head and said, "Don't worry about it. Master said there's no need to worry. Just pick and choose."
Gao Yanzhong also said: "Yes, mother-in-law, don't be afraid of being late for a good meal, the good things will come later."
Grandma Li shook her head and said: "I told you earlier, the big girl has lost her conscience, so you should pay no attention to her, but she is thinking about her three melons and two dates in her early years, and you don't want to think about where her three melons and two dates came from... "
The Li family is an old family in Fengtian, and they are family friends with the Gao family. They were also officials in those days.
The eldest Li is the eldest sister. Her father was still alive when she got married, and the dowry was generous.
After her father passed away, she took advantage of her age and took advantage of the chaos to haul things from her parents' house.
Li's dowry was just taken away by her.
When Mrs. Li got married, her family was extremely poor and she only brought ten boxes of books and a pair of armor left by Grandpa Li.
However, because Grandma Li was raised in the Gao family a few years ago, the elder Li has also been in contact with this place in recent years.
When the Gao family was in dire straits, they also sent money and food.
Mr. Li had read a lot, and he behaved like a gentleman. Instead of thinking about his old evil, he thought about his sister's good things, so the two families resumed their contact.
It’s just that Grandma Li was heartbroken and had never been close to her eldest daughter.
Mrs. Li nodded and said, "My daughter has taken note of it."
At this moment, Gao Bin came in and said: "Grandma, father, mother, son, go to the prince's mansion."
Gao Yanzhong nodded and said, "Go ahead and thank Master Jiu very much."
He misunderstood, thinking that Brother Jiu was well-informed and would only alert them if he got some news first.
Gao Bin agreed, came out of his home, left the imperial city, and came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Brother Jiu and Shu Shu had lunch in Ning'an Hall and had returned to the main courtyard.
Since you want to study, you can't delay forever.
The couple studied "Book of Rites" in the study.
With the "Commentary on the Book of Rites" sent by Fu Qing, it is much clearer and less obscure.
By the time someone sent the message from the front, Brother Jiu had already read several pages.
"Gao Bin is here?" Brother Jiu was a little surprised and said to himself, "What did you find out?"
With a bit of curiosity, he said to Shu Shu: "I'm going to go ahead and take a look. I don't know if my guess is accurate. I hope that I can judge the heart of a gentleman with my villain's heart!"
Shu Shu said: "It's almost the same. If it's a happy event, it won't happen so quickly."
Brother Jiu said proudly: "In that case, I have done a good thing."
"Um!"
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu and said.
Brother Jiu strode out.
In front of him, Gao Bin stood in the courtyard, looking at the orderly people around him, and suddenly felt that being a subordinate of the Prince's Mansion was not bad.
Brother Ninth is a good master.
But although he didn't show off his homework, he grew up holding his mother's dowry letter in his hand.
He also has a desire to make achievements in his heart. He not only thinks about the honor of his family, but also wants to serve the country and the people, and wants to become a figure mentioned in the history books.
Master Jiu has a loose temper and has no intention of entering the court.
Gao Bin felt a little confused.
Brother Jiu had already arrived. Seeing that he was in a daze, he asked, "What are you doing standing around outside?"
Gao Bin came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Master Jiu."
Brother Jiu greeted: "Follow..."
The two arrived at the study.
The little eunuch brought tea.
Brother Jiu looked him over and said, "Did you find out?"
Gao Bin said with gratitude, "Yes, if it hadn't been for Master Jiu's suggestion, this servant would have fallen into the trap. The Chen family has a bad family tradition, and he is an in-law of the Jin family."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu couldn't help but think too much. He frowned and said, "Everyone knows that you father and son are my men and work as errands in my house. So what does the Chen family mean? Isn't it because they want to marry their daughter and instigate it?" You father and son are doing bad things to get revenge on me and the Jin family, right?",
Gao Bin was stunned and said, "No way? These slaves and son are not fools. How can they accept such instigation?"
Brother Jiu sneered: "Otherwise, why would it be delivered to so many families?"
Gao Bin was also unsure and said tangledly: "According to the guess of the slave's father, the slave's aunt was jealous that our family was getting better now and didn't want the slave to get a good marriage, so she came up with this inappropriate candidate..."
Having said this, he paused and said: "The Chen family has no other family members except for worldly positions. They are just middle-class people. They probably don't have the courage, right?"
Jiu Ye is the prince. If he really wants to plot against Jiu Ye, can the emperor watch?
Brother Ninth Brother has gained a lot of knowledge in the past two years and said: "Who knew that there would be such fools who fall in love with jumping up and down."
Gao Bin had a serious look on his face.
If his marriage was simply tricked by relatives, it wouldn't really be a big deal. The worst thing would be to break off the marriage.
But if he really came to the Prince's Mansion, he would have to investigate carefully.
"Don't worry, Master Jiu. When I get back, I'll tell my father to check the Chen family..." Gao Bin said solemnly.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Check it carefully. If he really has bad intentions, I will deal with him!"
Being idle is also idle.
Those concubines and relatives belong to other people's families, and it's not easy for him to deal with them.
Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.
I have the dignity of my elder brothers and younger brothers.
But if people dare to plot against him, then he should practice hard.
He glanced at Gao Bin, who was wearing a gray cotton robe with the cuffs worn white.
He had read Gao Yanzhong's resume and knew that Gao Bin's grandfather had served as an inspector of the third grade.
It was just that he died too early, the Gao family was thin, and there was no help, so he fell into decline.
The Gao family lacks a secular position.
Brother Jiu's heart was pounding.
Earlier, he had been thinking about how to repay his merits after the Xiaotangshan incident was over.
Just filling a gap is nothing, Gao Yanzhong's ability is there.
That Chen family has an assistant leader·
Brother Jiu hoped that he would follow suit and guess correctly.
hey-hey·
In that case, the assistant leader of the Chen family can just be rewarded.
The families of the Eight Banners, including Shi Ke and Shi Shi, are different from ordinary banner people. Even if they are the lowest, they are still middle-class families.
If not, it would be hard to say whether it was ups and downs.
Just like the Gao family, their ancestors were also high-ranking officials, but without the help of Ninth Elder Brother, Gao Yanzhong didn't know how long it would take.
After Gao Bin left, Brother Jiu returned to the main room and mentioned the matter to Shu Shu.
Shu Shu thought about the system of the Eight Banners, and the idea of Brother Nine was a bit daydreaming.
If the assistant leader of the Chen family is the assistant leader of the public, his plan is quite reliable.
But since he is the chief minister, even if he is dismissed, according to regulations, he must be selected from other heads of the Chen family.
"Sir, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. Think about our family."
Shu Shu reminded.
Brother Jiu reacted, slapped his forehead and said, "I'm so stupid, I forgot about population reproduction..."
The zuoling where the Shu Shu family is located is the new zuoling separated from the zuoling of the Dong E family.
With Shu Shu by my side, I felt relieved.
Ruining someone's future is like killing their parents.
Just use reasonable means to arrange the Gao family, and there is no need to create extraneous problems.
