Chapter 3, The Matter of Washing Three Times (2)

At this moment, the most reluctant topic for Gun Dai is the marriage of his children. The situation is somewhat better for his son, as the daughters of the Aisin Gioro family, regardless of whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, cannot escape being married off for the sake of interests. Even if Mang Guji is a legitimate child, what difference does it make? Moreover, with the addition of an illegitimate daughter born two years ago, Nurhaci has only five daughters in total, and there are too few princesses available for political marriages. Therefore, even the legitimate eldest daughter Dong Guo, left by the Tongjia clan, was married off at the age of eleven by Nurhaci to He Helai, the leader of the Dong'e tribe, who came to seek allegiance with his people. With the addition of an illegitimate daughter born two years ago, Nurhaci has only five daughters in total, and there are too few princesses available for political marriages. Therefore, even the legitimate eldest daughter Dong Guo, left by the Tongjia clan, was married off at the age of eleven by Nurhaci to He Helai, the leader of the Dong'e tribe, who came to seek allegiance with his people.

Mang Gu Ji Qi, irritated, bit her lip and said: "What is wrong with me? Didn't you say that I am the most esteemed Gege of the Aisin Gioro family? I can do as I please, and no one can surpass me, right?"

Galudai concealed a smile of forbearance, picked up a small cloth tiger, and pretended to tease the dodo in the arms of the wet nurse. The dodo laughed heartily, reaching out to grab it: "Give it to me, give it to me..."

"What are you talking about?" Li Jia glared at her and said, "What is her status, and what is your status? It is outrageous for you to behave so recklessly."

Mang Guji's shouting in the Ming period was interrupted by Gun Dai: "What nonsense are you talking, child? At your age, you should not be acting so childish."

He He Li was already twenty-seven years old at that time, and his family naturally had a first wife. Dong Guo's family background far surpassed that of He He Li's original first wife, and after marrying in, she would naturally overshadow the original first wife. He He Li's first wife was also a capable and valiant woman, and she even brought troops to disrupt the wedding. However, in the end, Dong Guo still entered the household, and the original first wife had no choice but to relinquish her authority over household management, allowing Dong Guo to become the head of the family as the primary wife.

However, Nurhaci intended to marry Mangguci to Wulgu Dai. If he truly had this intention, it would certainly not be something that Gun Dai could oppose and prevent. If things went poorly, her thoughts might even provoke Nurhaci's displeasure towards her

This three-grid structure is truly unacceptable

"Ene, Ene..." Mang Guji tugged at Gun Dai's arm, speaking with great pride, "I can see it now, Second Brother's little boy looks like Xiao Ba. He has sparse eyebrows with only a few strands, small eyes, and a rather large mouth"

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Su Yier, who was attending to Li Jiashi, listened to the commotion outside and, in her anger, twisted the thread she was working on into a braid.

Galudai smiled and said: "San Gege should be getting married in two years, right? Has Da Fujin found a suitable candidate yet?"

She could not understand what Nurhaci was planning. The Haida tribe had already been occupied by the Jianzhou army, and Menggebulu was dead. The entire Haida had effectively become Jianzhou's territory. The son of a former tribal leader whose country had fallen was essentially a prisoner. Even if Nurhaci took him in and later promoted him, with Wulgu Dai's current status, he would absolutely be unworthy of her daughter.

Galudai's words struck at the restlessness she had suppressed deep within her heart. In fact, yesterday she received a message brought back by a messenger from Nurhaci, and the implication of that message was that Mangqu'er was to be given to Menggebulu's son, Wulgu Dai

However, Mang Guji is the apple of her eye in the Gun Dynasty. How could she allow Mang Guji to marry into such a complicated household like Dong Guo's? Having endured her own hardships, how could she bear to let her daughter suffer through the same?

Guan Dai felt irritated, shook off his daughter's hand, and impatiently said: "You are talking nonsense again. When will you behave like a proper princess?"

Although Dong Guo's marriage was fraught with turmoil, it ultimately had a favorable conclusion. He He Li's character was inherently good, and he had to rely on Nurhaci, which led him to treat Dong Guo very well. Although He He Li's first wife was formidable, in the end, the western wind prevailed over the eastern wind. Despite being a pairing of an older man and a younger woman, Dong Guo's married life turned out to be quite satisfactory.
