Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Chapter 48: Marriage

Wanyu, her mother and her two daughters stayed in the Fucha Mansion for a day and even took an hour's nap in the courtyard where Fucha used to live.

Most of the rest of the time, Sarah took her siblings, Unashi and Baozhu to play in the mansion.

Although I often came to Fucha Mansion before, I didn’t stay for long, so it was still quite fresh to come here today.

As the day passed, those who were on duty or studying during the day returned, and the Fucha Mansion became more and more lively.

Shi Wenzhuo and his son Shi Liha also came directly to Fucha Mansion after finishing their shift.

The family had dinner at Fucha Mansion before taking a carriage back to Guwaljia Mansion together.

On the carriage back to Guwaljia Mansion, Shi Wenzhuo and his wife were talking, and Wanyu leaned on her mother's shoulder and fell asleep unknowingly.

After playing for a whole day, she was so tired that she didn't even know when she returned to her yard.

It was only after she woke up that she realized that it was her father and mother who sent her back last night.

After paying respects to her father and mother and having breakfast in the main courtyard, Wanyu originally planned to return to her own Qiyun Courtyard, but unexpectedly she was stopped by her mother.

She sat on the embroidery stool, looked at her mother opposite her, and asked curiously.

"Mother, is there something you want me to stay with?"

Fucha smiled and asked, "I went back to Fucha Mansion with my mother yesterday. How did you feel about it?"

"How does it feel?"

"Ah."

Wanyu said honestly, "It's fine. Guo Luoma is very good to her daughter."

"My uncles, aunts, cousins ​​and their wives were very welcoming to my daughter and brother, and they took good care of us."

"Anyway, my daughter feels quite comfortable, just like she is at home."

"Besides, the Fucha Mansion is very prosperous and bustling."

After hearing her daughter say that the Fucha family was large and prosperous, Fucha couldn't help laughing out loud.

My three older brothers are indeed quite fertile.

My father married twice, leaving behind only five siblings. Now, only his youngest brother Li Rongbao has not yet married.

Although his three elder brothers had only one wife, they had more than ten children.

By the time my younger brother gets married and has more children, I guess the Fucha Mansion will be too full to accommodate him.

Fucha shook her head in amusement.

Then he continued to ask: "Do you know why my mother brought you back to Fucha Mansion yesterday?"

Wanyu was puzzled.

"Aren't you going back to see Guo Luoma?"

Fucha nodded and shook her head.

“That’s just one of the reasons.”

Wanyu thought about it, then suddenly realized: "Oh, I remember now."

"I've heard you mention it. It seems like you're looking for a marriage for my uncle, right?"

"Huh?" Fucha was surprised: "When did you hear it?"

Wanyu smiled awkwardly.

Then he said, "Just when cousin Sarah took us out of Guro Mama's yard, I remembered that I had left my things with Mama Daijia."

"I originally brought some cards to play games with my cousins."

"But when I heard you guys talking about my uncle's marriage, I felt embarrassed to go in again, so I backed out."

She asked curiously, "Mother, has Guo Luoma decided on a candidate for my aunt?"

Fucha tapped her forehead helplessly.

"You're really curious about everything."

Wanyu used her own trick of acting coquettishly to tease people.

"Oh, mother, mother, please tell me quickly."

"Who is my choice for aunt-in-law? Has Guo Luoma chosen one?"

Fu Cha had no choice but to nod after being pestered by her.

"Your mother Guo Luo has chosen a candidate, a red-belt Jueluo. The two families are currently in discussions, but I'm not sure if it will work out."

"Although not as noble as your mama and aunt, she is also a daughter of the royal family."

"If Guo Luo Mafa had not passed on the titles and hereditary positions of Mafa, who was awarded the title of First-Class Male and Cloud Cavalry Captain for his military merits, to your uncle before his death,

"As the youngest son, Li Rongbao is not yet qualified to marry into such a good family."

Speaking of this, Wanyu asked curiously.

"Mother, when Guo Luomafa left the title of the Fucha family to my youngest uncle, didn't the other three uncles express dissatisfaction?"

Fucha shook her head, "That's really not the case."

Seeing the curiosity in her daughter's eyes, she stroked her daughter's soft hair and said with a sigh, "Your Guo Luomafa died of illness in the 13th year of the Kangxi reign."

"Although your uncle was already one year old at that time, he was actually only a few months old."

"Your uncles have grown up, and their paths since childhood were all arranged by you, Guo Luomafa."

"Whether it's getting married, having children, or advancing your career, you, Guo Luomafa, have made all the arrangements in advance."

"But your uncle is still a baby who can't walk. His father will die before he turns one year old."

"You, Guo Luomafa, feel that you have let down your younger brother and that you owe him something."

"So before he passed away, he called us brothers and sisters to his bedside and gave us some instructions."

"He also explained the reason for passing on the title and hereditary position to me."

"Besides, your younger uncle is also the legitimate son after all. As long as your eldest uncle has no objection, your second and third uncles can't say anything either."

"By then, your uncle already had two legitimate sons, both serving as imperial guards beside the Emperor. With the legacy left by you, Guo Luomafa, his career in the government was bright."

"I wouldn't have any objections, and I don't have the nerve to compete with a younger brother who is younger than my own son."

"Moreover, you, Guo Luo Ma Fa, have entrusted all matters of the mansion to you, Guo Luo Ma Ma. You have asked us brothers and sisters to obey your orders."

"Your eldest and second uncles also remember how you, Guo Luomafa, took care of them after you came into the mansion, so they still respect you, Guo Luomafa, very much."

Wanyu nodded, suddenly realizing.

"I see."

“Parents who love their children will always have far-reaching plans for them.”

"Guoromafa's arrangements were good. My younger uncle is now protected, and the relationships between my three uncles above me haven't been disrupted by their titles."

"Besides, with Guo Luoma Ma around, the Fucha family didn't fall apart just because of Guo Luoma Fa's death."

Fucha nodded with relief.

"As long as Yu'er understands."

"What do you think of your cousin Sarah?"

"Cousin Sarah? He's fine."

"He was very caring and considerate to me and Mu Jin, and took good care of us yesterday."

"Besides this? Do you think your cousin would be a good husband?"

"Hmm... Cousin Sarah is handsome, gentle and polite, so he should be the one."

Wanyu thought about it and answered like this.

Fucha suddenly said seriously, "How about letting your cousin Sara be your future husband?"

"what?"

When Wanyu heard her mother's words, her eyes almost popped out of her head in shock.

"Mother, what did you just say?"

Fucha smiled and said, "Mother said, what do you think about Sara being your husband in the future?"

"From what you just said, you should have a very good impression of Sarah."

"So what do you think about marrying him?"

"Mother, how could you have such an idea?" Wanyu asked in shock.

Fu Cha said with great interest: "Look, your cousin Sara is your biological cousin. No one will bully you when you marry into the Fu Cha family."

"Even your sisters-in-law wouldn't turn their backs on you."

"And you also said that Sarah is handsome. Although he is not a stunningly handsome man, he is also a handsome and handsome man."

"Sara is the second son, unlike Sakcha who is the eldest son. He does not need to bear the responsibility of the future development of the second house."

"Besides, your third uncle is my biological brother. You've known your third aunt for so many years. She's not someone who can cause trouble."

"You don't need to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. With your Guo Luoma Mama and Third Uncle around, you don't have to worry about your mother-in-law setting rules for you."

"And your third aunt also said yesterday that she is very satisfied with you and likes you very much."

"When you get married, it will be like being at home. You don't have to worry about anything. Just live your life well, as a couple."

Wanyu was surprised and asked, "Mother, why do you want to marry me into the Fucha family?"

Fucha thought her daughter was happy.

So I explained, "This was your Guo Luoma's suggestion. After discussing it with your father, we both thought it was a good idea."

"And I asked your Mama what she thought, and she agreed."

"Your father and I both hope to find a man from a family that is easy to manage, so that when you marry him, you won't have to suffer too much at the hands of your husband's family."

"When your Guo Luoma Mama found out, she wrote to Mother, saying there was no one better than Sarah."

"Not only is he your legitimate cousin, but he is also protected by the Fucha family. Marrying into the Fucha family is just like marrying into your own family."

"Isn't this better than marrying into another family?"

"Furthermore, the Fucha family not only knows my roots, but also is an old Manchu surname with a deep heritage, and it is also my mother's family."

"There is no husband's family that my mother can trust more than the Fucha family."

"You also know that the Fucha family has more males than females, so you won't have to face the pressure of having an heir in the future."

Fucha's face was full of smiles, and she said excitedly: "It's good to have a prince, but it's even better to have a princess."
