Chapter 209: The matter of children
It was also the first time that Zhu Hongsan’s wives came out. The weather in December in Guangdong was not very cold. Today’s weather was very clear. You can see it far away from the bow of the boat, so all the ladies looked out from the bow of the boat.
At this time, we can see that the wives have begun to divide the gangs. As the original wife, Ma Xiaofang was naturally welcomed by everyone. Ma Ruyan was Ma Xiaofang's niece, so she was naturally taken care of by Ma Xiaofang. She had a lot of maids and mothers around her, and then the Dong sisters and Zhang followed Ma Xiaofang.
This is a group of wives in the family, and there is also a group of heads by the princess Zhu Maiyu, and the princess Zhu Youjia, Yan Wan'er, Qian Yuting, Bian Yujing, and Bai's family. Today, Zhu Maiyu was about to give birth to a baby, so she did not come. The group of women are now mainly Bian Yujing.
Bian Yujing and the others hated Ma Xiaofang's artificiality very much. Zhu Moe, Zhu Youjia, and Qian Yuting's identities are no worse than those of his wife Ma Xiaofang. Bian Yujing is a tomboy and even more despised Ma Xiaofang's appearance, so the two groups of women are just maintaining harmony on the surface.
Zhu Hongsan knew very well about his backyard affairs, but he didn't like to care too much. These women are tools for reproductive venting, and he had the time to care about so many things in a day. In addition, she taught Ma Xiaofang a lesson last time, so she would not dare to make things difficult for all wives about food and drink in the future, so they fight as much as they like.
Zhu Hongsan is concerned about his sons. Now Zhu Hai, Zhu Jiang, Zhu Huai and other children have grown up. Zhu Hai is going to go to school after the New Year, and the teacher who is in charge of education is Ma Mingyuan. The kindergarten teachers are all first-class Jinshi, and Zhu Hai is now a bit like a successor.
However, Zhu Hongsan didn't want to do the inheritance system of the eldest son at all. His sons had the opportunity to inherit his own industry. In the future, they would have to educate their successors when they grew up to see which one was suitable. Zhu Hongsan also knew that this was a great obstacle. Not to mention that the power of the Ma family was at the back, even the literati and law ideas of these scholars and officials could not stand it.
Zhu Hongsan was also very depressed when he thought about this. Why did he want to do such trouble as he wished? Do you have to force himself to kill Zhu Yuanzhang like a big kill?
Zhu Hongsan was thinking randomly in his mind, and Zhu Luo, the eldest daughter of Ma Xiaofang, ran over. Zhu Luo is now twelve years old, and according to the algorithm of the Ming Dynasty, he is already fourteen, and has grown into a big girl. Zhu Luo is almost as tall as Zhu Hongsan and looks graceful. His vision in the future is really ninety-five, and he is absolutely the level of a Miss World.
However, Zhu Luo was very ugly in this perverted aesthetic view of the Ming Dynasty. He was too tall, too thin, too long, and had big feet. His mother Ma Xiaofang was also very worried about her daughter. Ma Xiaofang had found several local gentry families in Guangdong for Zhu Luo, but after they knew about Zhu Luo's situation, they all refused. Not to mention that Zhu Luo's appearance is not as good as the current aesthetic view, even her father, who is a royal family, is not as good as her.
If Zhu Hongsan was still an ordinary royal family in the past, the court would not care much about their poor people and would do whatever they like. But now Zhu Hongsan is the King of Chu, and Zhu Luo will become a princess when he becomes an adult in the future. According to the court's laws, the county horses cannot be an official, so serious scholars can agree to Ma Xiaofang's proposal.
Zhu Hongsan also cursed after knowing this incident. If he doesn't marry his daughter now, they will regret it to death in the future.
My parents were so anxious that they died, but the person involved Zhu Luo didn't care at all. They still fought and made trouble every day. However, because of the expansion of the army in the past few months, Zhu Hongsan made Zhu Luo the Boys' Battalion reach the age of joining the army and was all incorporated into the army. Zhu Luo was very lonely and could not help but run away with his younger brothers and sisters every day.
When Zhu Hongsan saw Zhu Luo running over, he said, "What are my good daughters doing?" Because Zhu Luo was Zhu Hongsan's first daughter, and several children died behind her, Zhu Hongsan has always been spoiled by Zhu Luo.
Zhu Luo put his hands on Zhu Hongsan's arm, kissed Zhu Hongsan's face, and said, "Dad, I will take my younger brother and sister to play."
Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "You girl, you are so old and don't know how dignified you are. Fortunately, your second uncle didn't come this time, so you would say you don't know how to be virtuous and kind."
When Zhu Hongsan mentioned his second uncle Ma Mingyuan, Zhu Luo stuck out his tongue and said, "My second uncle hopes that I will become a person like Second Auntie. I don't listen to him. I want to learn from my mother and find my husband's house by myself."
Hearing Zhu Luo say this, Zhu Hongsan thought that his daughter had a crush on him, so he asked quickly: "Does her daughter have a crush on him? Which handsome guy can win my daughter's favor?"
Zhu Luo found that he had let go and quickly said, "I won't tell you." After that, he took a few younger brothers and sisters to see the boat.
Ma Xiaofang came over and said, "Prince, look at what Zhu Luocheng looks like. He is already fourteen and has not been serious yet. How can I find my husband's family?"
Zhu Hongsan also sighed. He knew that the current tradition was to get married at the fifteenth and sixteenth. Not to mention that he was the King of Chu, even the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang could not change it by saying that he could change it. In his heart, he really didn't want his children to get married and have children early.
Ma Xiaofang sighed from the side and said, "I have asked a few matchmakers, but when they heard that they were our children, they all refused."
When Zhu Hongsan heard his wife say this, he cursed in anger: "These bastards, when I was in my hands, were like grandsons. Why did they use five to six to marry my daughter? I led people to kill their whole family."
Zhu Hongsan also knew that he was just angry when he said this. As he grew older and his experience in governing, Zhu Hongsan also knew that he could not kill the one like he said when he was young, and he had too many concerns.
Ma Xiaofang said on the side: "Prince, I am so worried about your precious daughter. Otherwise, Chunhua told me a long time ago that she wanted Zhu Luo to be her daughter-in-law, or choose one of Zhu Hongyi's two sons."
Ma Chunhua is Zhu Hongyi's eldest wife. She told Ma Xiaofang a few years ago. Although Ma Chunhua is Ma Xiaofang's personal maid, Ma Xiaofang also felt that her daughter could marry a son who could marry a servant, so she did not agree. In recent years, Ma Xiaofang has indeed been heartbroken by Zhu Luo's affairs, and thought that if she couldn't do it, just do it.
Zhu Hongsan thought about it and it was not that he looked down on Zhu Hongyi's identity, he was measuring the impact of this matter. Zhu Hongyi was an instructor of the non-commissioned officers' regiment back then and he would definitely have a deep influence in the army in the future. Zhu Luo and his son would definitely be Zhu Hai's help after marriage. This is contrary to Zhu Hongsan's original intention.
Zhu Hongsan is not a political novice in Huguang at that time. He has been very smart in recent years. Zhu Hongsan pretended to be unintentional and asked: "Didn't you ask her second uncle about this?"
Ma Xiaofang said: "This matter was discussed by my second brother a few days ago. My second brother said that he saw Luoer and Zhao Hu, the boss of Zhu Hongyi family, were together every day, and the impact was really bad. Let me solve Luoer's marriage earlier. If it doesn't work, marry Zhao Hu."
Zhu Hongsan said in his heart: "As it turns out, are these stinky old ninths going to choose the side now?"
Zhu Hongsan looked up at Zhu Luo in the distance. He was now standing by the side of the boat with his younger brother and sister. Zhao Hu was standing behind Zhu Luo. The two of them didn't know what they were talking about. Zhao Hu was sixteen years old this year, big and thick, like a bear, and had the characteristics of Zhu Hongyi. When the Guard Company was expanded this year, the two brothers also entered the Guard Company to serve as soldiers.
Seeing Zhu Luo not knowing what he was talking to Zhao Hu, his little face turned red with excitement and laughed. Zhu Hongsan said in his heart: "Well, no matter what, the happiness of his daughter is the most important."
After making up his mind, Zhu Hongsan asked the guards to call Zhu Luo and Zhao Hu.
After the two came to Zhu Hongsan, Zhu Hongsan asked Zhu Luo: "Daughter, is the person you are talking about Zhao Hu?"
Zhu Luo didn't expect his father to ask him directly, and stammered: "Father, no."
Zhu Hongsan continued, "Daughter, you are fourteen years old this year and you are going to get married. If you don't like someone, your father will designate one for you."
Zhu Luo was very anxious when she heard Zhu Hongsan say this. She knew that her father's personality would be impossible to change once she decided on it.
Seeing the bear Zhao Hu standing next to him, Zhu Luo's temper came up and cursed at Zhao Hu: "You are dead, you won't speak at the critical moment." After that, he kicked Zhao Hu on the bend of his leg.
Zhao Hu knelt down with a gurgle, and Zhao Hu also knew that it was a critical moment, and whether he could be with the person he liked depends on himself.
