Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 318 Honghui Fujin
In March of the 61st year, Kangxi went to the Yuanmingyuan built by the fourth prince to drink and enjoy the flowers. All the masters of the Yong family came to pay their respects. Among them was Honghui's son and daughter. Honghui's eldest daughter was almost five years old, and his youngest son was less than three years old. Both were born to his wife Xilin Gioro.
Xilin Gioro was the eldest daughter of Xilin Gioro Ortai, born to his first wife, Guaerjia. Ortai and Guaerjia were a young couple, but their love did not last long. After Guaerjia gave birth to a daughter in the 37th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, she became bedridden and passed away after barely three years.
After his wife passed away, Ortai devoted himself to raising his daughter to adulthood, and he remained a widower for twelve years. When Xilin Gioro was fifteen years old, it was time to discuss marriage, but there was no female elder to take charge, and Ortai's career had not been smooth, so naturally, the men who came to propose marriage were all ugly.
As the only bloodline left by his first wife, Ortai was naturally anxious and wanted to remarry. It happened that Ortai was valued by the Minister of Personnel Mai Zhu, who wanted to marry his daughter Xitala to him.
Needless to say, Xitala had connections, and as long as she was willing to help, she would definitely be able to find a satisfactory husband for Xilinjueluo. But would Xitala regard her daughter as a thorn in her side after she got married? With such concerns, Ortai risked offending Maizhu and still made his request - to treat his daughter well.
Maizhu was about the same age as Ortai, so Xitala was going to marry a widower who was the same age as her father. This widower was not only ungrateful, but also dared to make conditions. If Maizhu had not insisted, his wife, Xitala's mother, would have ruined the marriage for the sake of her reputation.
Mai Zhu was not trying to sell his daughter for fame and fortune. He was already the Minister of Personnel, and Ortai was still a royal guard with the hereditary title of Zuoling. If he did not truly admire Ortai's character and talent, he would not have wanted to marry his beloved daughter to Ortai.
Xitala was an intelligent woman. She knew that she could not disobey her father's orders and could only learn to accept them. She thought that life after marrying into the Xilin Gioro Mansion would be extremely difficult, and she was even prepared for the eldest daughter of the original wife to show her power.
But unexpectedly, life in Xilin Gioro Mansion was not as bad as Xitala had imagined. Ortai treated her very well and was even more considerate to Xitala because of his guilt. Xilin Gioro, who was regarded as a scourge by Xitala, was not a spoiled and domineering person. She enthusiastically helped Xitala take over the affairs of the backyard.
In fact, this is normal. Xitala and Xilinjueluo are mother and daughter, and they can be called sisters according to their age. Xilinjueluo admires Xitala for "being able to make a living no matter what", and Xitala also loves Xilinjueluo for "keeping the backyard for her father since she was a child, and never making mistakes in welcoming and seeing off guests". In this way, Xitala has established a firm foothold in the mansion without any disturbance.
Xitala had a good relationship with Xilin Gioro, so she was naturally also anxious about Xilin Gioro's marriage. She didn't expect her stepdaughter to marry into a wealthy family, but only hoped that the man would be ambitious and love Xilin Gioro.
But by chance, Xilin Gioro was favored by Prince Yong's wife, who wanted to marry her as her daughter-in-law.
Yixiu didn't name Xilin Gioro for no reason. She just used the panel to "randomly" choose! After all, Honghui Fujin is not only her daughter-in-law, but also the future queen. She can't just pick anyone randomly, right? Honghui is just the grandson of the emperor, and it is impossible to select as many as the prince's wife, so Yixiu had to come in person.
The Fourth Prince agreed 100% with Yixiu's choice, and even sighed that Yixiu was indeed as close to him as a couple, and that they had the same vision for choosing a daughter-in-law. Although Ortai was not a prominent official now, the Fourth Prince was impressed by his noble character and his family tradition of poetry and literature.
It is said that one should marry a virtuous wife. Honghui's wife must be someone who can hold up the scene. The fourth prince believes in Ortai's ability to teach his daughter! Of course, after the fourth prince carefully investigated Xilinjueluo, he found that it was indeed the case, so the couple did not delay in settling Honghui.
Because of this, the Fourth Prince was summoned to the palace by Emperor Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi angrily said, "I have never suspected my own son to this extent. Why did you choose such a family for Honghui?"
After the fourth prince wiped his sweat and explained, Kangxi sent people to investigate with suspicion, and finally believed that the fourth prince and his wife really chose Honghui's wife only based on her character, and then he calmed down. He just felt sorry for Honghui, so he gave Xilinjueluo a lot of dowry to make things look good.
How could Yixiu let her favorite daughter-in-law be embarrassed before she even entered the house? She had already discussed it with the Fourth Prince and sent 108 loads of betrothal gifts to the Xilinjueluo Mansion.
When Ortai, Xitala and Xilin Gioro saw the dazzling array of betrothal gifts, the three of them all breathed a sigh of relief. At least Prince Yong was very polite and it seemed that he really wanted his daughter to be his son's daughter-in-law.
Ortai and Xitala were not greedy for the betrothal gifts, and stuffed them all into Xilin Gioro's dowry, and also bought a lot more dowry, so that Xilin Gioro could enter Prince Yong's Mansion with 128 loads of dowry. There was no other way, but at least they had to give their daughter the confidence to gain a foothold.
When Xilin Gioro entered the mansion, Yixiu neatly handed the account book of Honghui Courtyard to Xilin Gioro, and tacitly joined hands with the Fourth Prince to tell everyone in the mansion that, except the Fourth Prince and Yixiu, no one in the mansion had the right to interfere in the affairs of Honghui Courtyard.
When Xilinjueluo came back and told her about this, Ortai and Xitala felt more relieved. In this way, the two families felt that the other party was a family that really wanted the young couple to live a good life, and they got along more easily.
Honghui and Xilinjueluo were deeply in love, and soon she gave birth to Honghui's eldest son, and two years later she gave birth to her eldest daughter. The situation was tense, and Honghui's status was unclear. The Fourth Prince and Yixiu had no plans to give Honghui a concubine. Honghui was not addicted to women, and Yixiu did not torture her daughter-in-law. Xilinjueluo had a son and a daughter, and lived a carefree life.
Xilinjueluo was living a leisurely life. She did not expect that the emperor would come to her father-in-law's garden in person, and even asked her to bring her children to pay respects. But after a moment of panic, Xilinjueluo regained her composure, and with the help of Jianqiu, she changed herself and her children into appropriate clothes and went to meet Kangxi.
Kangxi had no interest in the Xilin Gioro family. He had already investigated everything he should know. As soon as Kangxi saw Honghui's son and daughter, he couldn't take his eyes off them. He couldn't even remember how many grandchildren he had, let alone great-grandchildren.
Kangxi was teasing his little great-grandson, his heart softened. He asked the Fourth Prince, "Have you given the child a name?"
