Chapter 1943 Stupid People Do Stupid Things
It is true that the current Prince Shuncheng is unreliable, and the Dutong Mansion does not want to marry into the family anymore.
Shushu asked, not intending to interfere in her brother's marriage.
This matchmaking job is not something that ordinary people can do.
If the marriage goes well, it's fine. But if not, the matchmaker will feel uneasy.
After chatting with Jueluo for a while, Shushu returned to the Prince's Mansion.
It is not good to abandon all the old and young in the family.
After returning home and changing into outer clothes, Shushu went to Ning'an Hall.
The originally noisy Ning'an Hall became very quiet.
Mrs. Bo was leaning on the couch reading a book, a travelogue.
Seeing Shushu coming in, she put down the book in her hand and asked, "How are the preparations for the marriage going?"
Shushu said: "Everything is ready, we just have to wait for the day."
Mrs. Bo said, "Mrs. Fusong has been troubled."
It has only been a few days since Jueluo returned, and all this should have been prepared by Zhang before that.
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that he has been doing a good job in the past month or so, and there have been no mistakes."
Mrs. Bo said, "Girls from wealthy families who are well-educated can be good."
When Shushu heard this, she was a little confused and said, "I heard the elders talk about Qingru Enie earlier, and they all said she was very capable and powerful. Why does she look like a bullied daughter-in-law now, unable to make decisions on anything?"
Madam Bo thought something was wrong and asked, "Is there something going on in the General's Mansion again?"
Shushu told Qingru about how her father embezzled the second daughter's dowry and gave it to the eldest daughter.
After hearing this, Mrs. Bo also fell into deep thought.
Last year, Qingru's father embezzled his eldest daughter's dowry, involving several outside families, and he acted without authorization. It is understandable that Qingru's mother did not stop him at the moment. But this year, the news of the embezzlement of the dowry has even reached the ears of the Dong'e family. Why hasn't Qingru's mother stopped him yet?
When Shushu saw Mrs. Bo's reaction, she knew that she also felt something was wrong.
"If Qingru Enie really wants to stop someone like Qingru Ama who loves to scheme, she should be able to stop him."
Shushu paused here and said, "Unless you don't want to stop it, and deliberately expose Qingru Ama's confusion to the outside world."
Mrs. Bo said, "There is another possibility. Qingru's father did it on purpose and found an excuse to complain to Qingru's mother..."
Shushu blinked and said, "Are you trying to separate yourself from the 'princelings' because of someone else's advice? Aren't you taking yourself too seriously?"
Even if he is the prince's brother-in-law, he is a royal general without any missing sons. Who would deliberately implicate them?
Madam Bo said, "It's better to send Zhuliang away. No matter what happens in the General's Mansion, stay away from it."
The mother and daughter talked for a while. Shushu thought about the beautiful spring scenery outside and said, "Amu, let's go to the study to see the little ones..."
It is still cold in mid-February.
The primary school students in the inner study room still mainly engage in indoor activities.
The morning is the time for reading and learning literacy, and the afternoon is the time for various game classes.
Mrs. Bo was also somewhat concerned about Niguzhu, so she said, "Then go and have a look."
The inner study is located in the enclosure next to the garden, with a total of four rooms.
Two of them are used as teachers' duty rooms and two are classrooms.
Several of the students are four-year-old children, so the courses arranged by Shushu are very loose.
When Shushu and Mrs. Bo arrived outside the study window, they heard Xiaosong's voice.
"This is the Monkey King's golden cudgel. Let me show you how to do it..."
Not only did she hold the "golden hoop stick" in her hand, but the children did too.
The difference is that the one in Xiaosong's hand is a wooden stick wrapped with gold foil, while the ones in the children's hands are paper sticks.
The children laughed and danced with their paper sticks, and the whole place was filled with excitement.
A dozen kids made quite a noise.
Shushu felt a headache after listening to this and pulled Mrs. Bo away.
"I was thinking of coming over to take care of them in the afternoon, but forget it. I can't stand the noise..."
Mrs. Bo smiled and said, "At first, they were all well-behaved children, but many of them became lively after being brought up by Niguzhu."
There are three brothers and sisters. Fengsheng and Akdan each chose two study companions, while Niguzhu has three.
Because Cao Gege is of this age, she is not considered an ordinary study companion.
The people chosen to be around the children are all five or six years old.
They were taught the rules by their family before they came in, but after entering the mansion, they were less restricted and spent more time playing with the young masters, so they became more lively.
Mrs. Bo knew that Xiaosong was playing with the children in the afternoon, so she said to Shushu, "You have been a lively child since you were young. You should be doing well now. It seems that you still have the mentality of a child..."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "So this child son-in-law is being raised."
Heartwarming.
Mrs. Bo said, "Chunlin is still a good person. If he were an ungrateful person, he wouldn't be able to pretend forever."
Shu Shu said: "Master Jiu is also thinking about a child son-in-law..."
Xiaosong's life after marriage was as relaxed as before it. In addition to her father's protection, it was also because Chunlin, her husband, took good care of her.
Even if the relationship between husband and wife fades in the future, they still have the affection as family members, and Chunlin will not treat Xiaosong badly.
Madam Bo shook her head and said, "You still have to choose people. If you choose the wrong person, it will hurt people more if you are too emotional..."
At this point, she pointed to the east and whispered, "If it weren't for the affection we had since childhood, I wouldn't have lost my way and forgotten my duties as the legitimate wife."
Shushu said, "Master, you are just worrying for nothing. Niguzhu is a daughter of the clan. As long as she can stand up for herself, she is not afraid of marrying anyone. If you are not happy with your life and cannot come back, you can still live separately."
Mrs. Bo listened and half of her worries were gone. She said, "Yes, our eldest princess is kind-hearted, but she is not the kind of person who would suffer losses. With your support behind her, there is nothing to worry about..."

General's Mansion.
Qingru looked at the prepared dowry list and felt so upset that she couldn't help but take the list and go to the upper room.
Guaerjia had a pile of account books at hand, and she was sorting out several properties under her name.
These are to be given as dowry to Qingru.
Before the transfer, the accounts must be clear.
"Eni..."
Qingru looked at Guaerjia and said, "Change it back. It's really hard for my daughter to take this dowry with her."
Although these sisters are born from the same mother, they have different preferences.
The pattern and color of each person's dowry are based on the preferences of their sisters.
For example, she likes orchids, so the dowry furniture and furnishings are mainly orchid-colored.
Her second sister likes bamboo, and the furniture is decorated with various bamboo patterns.
She really didn't have the face to misappropriate her sister's furniture like this, and she wouldn't be happy using it.
Guaerjia put down the account book, looked at Qingru and said, "Your father has made up his mind, and the date is approaching, it's not easy to change it..."
Qingru looked at Guaerjia and asked, "What about Enie? Has Enie also made up his mind?"
Guaerjia looked at her eldest daughter with pity in her eyes. After a while, she said, "Don't blame your father. Your father has no choice. Your second sister is promised to be married to a relative of Hesheli. Your father is afraid..."
Qingru: “…”
After a while, she asked, "Did Ama do this on purpose?"
Guaerjia said with a tired look on her face: "People outside think he is a fool. It is normal for him to be foolish again after being foolish once."
Qingru loves reading. In addition to poetry, she also reads history. She has more knowledge than ordinary girls in the boudoir.
She felt a little worried when she thought that the Hesheli family no longer had any title.
"My aunt..."
Qingru had entered the palace with her mother to pay respects to the Crown Princess in her early years. During festivals, the Crown Princess would reward the younger generations from her natal family and would also bring them to the General's Mansion.
If the Crown Prince is in a bad situation, what his family will encounter is just the aftermath, and the Crown Princess may be in trouble.
Guaerjia said: "The Crown Princess is filial and virtuous, and all the elders in the palace respect her..."
The most important thing is that the Crown Princess did not give birth to a son, only a legitimate daughter.
If something unexpected happens to the crown prince, it will be easy to preserve it.
"Are you hiding this from your second sister as well?"
Clear as the Tao.
The sisters have a good relationship, and even though their parents took the initiative to embezzle the dowry, the second princess did not feel resentful.
The more this happened, the more uncomfortable Qingru felt.
Guaerjia said: "Keep it a secret. Knowing too much is not a good thing..."
*
After a few days, it was time to pay respects to the emperor in the palace.
This time, everyone entered the palace with bags of all sizes, including gifts for Concubine Wang to move to the palace, and gifts for Concubine Thirteen to celebrate her birthday.
The gift from Concubine Wang was sent to Qixiang Palace.
The etiquette for the Thirteenth Lady was that everyone came to the Qianxi Tousuo in person after coming out of the Ningshou Palace.
Although she was born out of wedlock, she was the first child of the Thirteenth Prince, and her biological mother was the Princess Guaerjia. The gifts prepared by everyone were 30% higher than those for an ordinary illegitimate daughter.
The Thirteenth Lady has a generous and cheerful personality and gets along well with her sisters-in-law.
Everyone came with bags of all sizes, not one was left out.
Even the Eighth Concubine and Fucha, who were not familiar with the Thirteenth Concubine, came over.
This person is neat and tidy.
The Thirteenth Lady was a little flattered and a little regretful that she had not prepared the banquet in advance. She hurriedly sent someone to take silver to the pastry shop to see if she could buy some fine food.
It’s okay for others.
The Eighth Lady looked at the familiar courtyard and thought of the past thirty-seven years. It felt like a lifetime ago...
