Afterwards, Yinzhi went to check on his estate and learned about farming. He found that what his wife had said was correct, which made him even more curious about the old man, Irgen, whom he had never met before.
I heard that most of the Fujin's generation were raised and educated by the old master.
He had met all of Fujin's brothers, and none of them were ordinary people.
The eldest brother-in-law was a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), the second brother-in-law was a scholar who passed both civil and military examinations, and the third brother-in-law was a military officer who was also a tough and resolute man in the army.
My sixth brother-in-law is even more formidable; he is said to be able to hold off ten thousand men, and he will surely become a fierce general of our Great Qing Dynasty in the future.
According to the Fujin, all of these brothers grew up under the grandfather's care. The grandfather really knows how to raise children.
In the capital, which of the prominent families doesn't have a few spoiled brats? But my father-in-law's sons don't have a single one.
That's really impressive!
As the old saying goes, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure!
Thinking of other people's grandfathers, and then thinking of my own grandfather, Emperor Shunzhi, it's truly a bitter pill to swallow!
However, it's hard to say. If his grandfather, Emperor Shunzhi, had lived a long life, who knows who would have been on the throne? He might have just been an ordinary grandson of the emperor.
Actually, having 38,000 taels of silver in the account is already quite good. He Zhuo is not extravagant. When giving gifts, he mostly uses the items from his allotted allowance and the output from Yin Zhi's shops. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to save so much silver.
For an unmarried prince, having several thousand taels of silver in hand was already considered quite good.
After all, although the princes had no worries about food and clothing and received many rewards during festivals, those rewards were not easy to convert into cash, so they didn't have much silver.
So the Fourth Prince was the envy of many. After Empress Tong died, he became the richest of the princes and married the Fourth Princess Consort. Although the Fourth Princess Consort also had a dowry of 98 loads, it did not exceed that of the First Princess Consort and the Third Princess Consort.
But their quality is just too good! Every dowry rack was pushed over so full it was practically overflowing!
Her father had fought for many years and was the only daughter he had in his old age. Her dowry was much more generous than that of the First and Third Princesses. It could be said that she took away half of the Ulanara family's property.
He Zhuo was the youngest daughter, and her older brothers were all married, so it was impossible for them to give half of the family's property as her dowry.
Although the Fourth Princess Consort also had four brothers, only her eldest brother had just gotten married when she married into the family. Moreover, only her eldest brother and youngest brother were born to the primary wife, Lady Gioro, while the rest were born to concubines. As the only eldest daughter of the primary wife, she was naturally showered with love and affection, so it was not surprising that she took half of the family's property as her dowry.
This is one of the advantages of having few masters and a small household.
The Third Princess Consort, Lady Dong'e, came from a prestigious family. Like the First Princess Consort, her family was large and prosperous, with many brothers and cousins. Naturally, she could not possibly give up half of her family's property as her dowry.
So when the Fourth Prince's wife was dressed up, she dazzled the princes. They were so envious and jealous of the Fourth Prince for marrying such a lucky man!
Even the Crown Prince couldn't help but feel envious. As a member of the imperial family, the Crown Prince had the best of everything in terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities. However, he was still studying at the time, and his cash would not exceed 20,000 taels. How could he not be envious?
Khoja received a dowry of 98 loads as the primary consort.
If other princes were to marry and their wives' dowries exceeded this amount, it would be considered disrespectful to their sister-in-law and could easily give the impression of being arrogant and domineering.
However, Khoja had already set the tone for the dowry of the prince's wife, and the bride's sister-in-law would generally not easily exceed this amount.
But the Fourth Prince's wife only had the same number of dowry tables, but the items inside were more numerous and of higher quality.
He Zhuo estimated that the unseen hidden treasure was at least twice as much as his own.
