After the family finished eating, Jingrou escorted Hesheli back home.
Recently, Hesheli's legs have become increasingly weak, and she needs assistance to walk. She has also gradually started using crutches.
Actually, she felt that she was in pretty good health and didn't need a cane at all. However, there were few people her age in the capital, and the vast majority of them were in poor health. She felt out of place among them, so she eventually started using a cane herself.
Watching her grandmother walk slowly, Jingrou realized that the person with the loud voice back then was also slowly getting old.
In fact, Hesheli is the kind of person who doesn't look old at all. Moreover, at her age, she is considered quite old. Everyone in the capital who is her generation envies her because she can enjoy the happiness of family life at such an advanced age!
Actually, because of Jingrou, she would often slip some pills to her maternal grandmother and family members, or add spiritual spring water to their water. These were all things she redeemed with points. In any case, these things subtly affected the health of her family members without being too obvious or revealing.
Her family members were all much healthier than the average person, but this aging was not only physical but also psychological. Hesheli felt that after living for so many years, she had seen through some things.
She doesn't want to get entangled in many things or insist on figuring them out. Confucius once said that when a person reaches 70, he can do whatever he wants without overstepping the bounds. She has already approached that state and can better understand the realm of the sage.
Most of the family's children and grandchildren are successful, which is largely due to the good upbringing of his three daughters-in-law.
The eldest grandson is now married and has children, and they will soon be a four-generation family!
This is quite rare in the Aisin Gioro family, after all, it involves some entanglements of interests, and there are definitely quite a few people who die young.
As for the remaining few who are a bit younger, they might need more discipline and experience before they're fully developed, but these boys are unlikely to make mistakes. The younger ones, of course, have their own mothers and fathers to care for them.
The most painful thing she had ever experienced in her life was the loss of her daughter, the youngest daughter she had raised with such tenderness. And now, the one she couldn't let go of most was naturally her granddaughter!
Right now, the most urgent matter for her is Jingrou's situation!
Twelve years old isn't exactly old, but it's not young either.
If we're planning to marry her off, we need to make arrangements as early as possible, and carefully consider which family's son is of good character and which family has a history of scandals...
Once a daughter reaches marriageable age, many men will likely come to her door, and by then it will be too late to consider marriage... Prince An's family is of high status, and Zhuzhu is a county princess, so even if she were to marry down, she wouldn't have many options.
Not just anyone who is prominent in the capital can command this level of attention.
Not only should we check their reputation outside, but we should also secretly investigate whether they are hiding anything, especially things like foreign affairs or improper personal conduct!
At this point, Hesheli wanted to investigate thoroughly the family history of the family, including their ancestors and descendants, to see if they had any bad records, not to mention those whose fathers or brothers had committed scandals in terms of private morality!
Getting married is a major event in a woman's life, and Hesheli was certainly not going to be careless about it.
However, if Zhuzhu really lets her make arrangements and doesn't have a favorite person in mind, then Hesheli will naturally continue to do so. But she is not sure what Zhuzhu's thoughts are, or what her attitude is towards the Crown Prince.
Personally speaking, Hesheli was very reluctant to let her daughter marry into the royal family. What kind of place was the royal family? It was a place that would devour people without spitting out their bones!
Moreover, in her eyes, the emperors in the palace are all cunning and shrewd, but their hearts are dirty. There are so many women in the harem, how could she bear it if Zhuzhu became one of them?
You should know that the Crown Prince will eventually ascend to that position, but her status is enough for Hesheli to keep her at arm's length!
In earlier years, some women I knew well, or younger members of family friends, married into the royal family, but now, most of them have long since turned to dust.
Those who reap good rewards are those who marry princes, not those who marry into the palace.
Even though we are living well now, who knows how we got through those days in the past?
Especially considering the previous turmoil in imperial power, during the reign of Emperor Shunzhi, a large number of princes and members of the imperial family were dealt with. Only the person experiencing it truly knows whether it's hot or cold!
Even though she married into Prince An's household and they fell in love this year, she still suffered hardships and grievances, let alone others.
Alas... Although Zhuzhu is intelligent, she has been spoiled by them and has not experienced any major setbacks. Hesheli really doesn't feel at ease sending such a young girl into the royal family!
“Zhuzhu, seeing your cousins growing up and getting married, your grandmother can now finally enjoy her retirement without worrying about the younger ones.”
“You didn’t need to worry about it. Your uncles are very capable and your aunts are very filial. If you had worried before, those goldfish in your yard would probably have starved to death!” Jingrou smiled.
The subtle sadness that had just been created was instantly shattered by this little rascal. Hesheli smiled helplessly, "You're so heartless, you won't even let your grandmother feel sad for a moment!"
Jingrou pouted. "What's there to be sad about? It's best if Grandma is always happy. We shouldn't make her sad!"
"Now it's time to think about your own affairs. I don't know what you're planning to do, but if you have a suitable husband, you should let your grandmother know as soon as possible, so that your grandmother won't interfere with the relationship!" She touched Jingrou's hand. Jingrou has grown taller and taller. The little girl who used to be up to her calves is now almost as tall as her!
Jingrou blushed. She hadn't expected the topic to change so quickly, suddenly turning to her. "Zhuzhu is still young, we shouldn't be thinking about such things for now!" she said sullenly.
