Chapter 623 What you want is not the bride price, but your attitude.

"Xiaohua, do you want a lot of betrothal gifts?"

Zhang Erhu was silent for a moment, then asked weakly.

"Who doesn't want a bride price when they get married?"

It makes sense, who doesn't want a bride price when they get married?What's more, it's His Majesty's adopted sister.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with asking for a dowry, isn't it?
But the problem is that his family background is not very rich. In the past two years at the border, although he has made a lot of contributions, big and small, most of the money has been distributed to the people below.He thought he had saved up a few hundred taels of silver, which was quite a lot, but right now it seemed that it wasn't enough.

"Your Majesty, isn't there a reward for performing martial arts today?"

"The money hasn't been allocated yet, it's going through the process, and it may take some time. You still plan to let Xiaohua wait for you? Besides, that little money is not enough!?"

not enough?

5000 taels not enough?

Your natal family is trying to force me to death?

Zhang Erhu was about to collapse. Originally, he planned to marry Zhang Erhu home in a splendid manner this time, but His Majesty would make such a mess.

Ever since I was little, I’ve often called you Emperor Brother, right?
how?

Isn't it as sweet as Xiaohua's name?

"Er Hu, it's not that I want to embarrass you. But think about it differently. Xiaohua's father left early, and her mother took her to live in the capital alone. If she hadn't met me that year, she would have starved to death outside the city.

The queen liked her and always treated her like her own younger sister. She could have lived a life of luxury in the palace, but she didn't, and asked to go out of the palace many times to make a living by herself.No, I just set up a zongzi stall outside the city, and I have been doing it for several years.

In the past few years, regardless of the cold and heat, regardless of the morning and evening, the mother and daughter have worked hard to manage a zongzi stand all year round.In the past two years, you have worked in the border town, and you have been looking forward to the stars and the moon waiting for your return.You have finally come back, and seeing the good times are coming, is it possible that you are not planning to give a bride price when you marry a wife? "

"Your Majesty! I plan to give it! But, it's just that I don't."

"No money? Just saying "no money" is enough? Do you think Xiao Hua is really the one who covets glory and wealth? As long as I nod my head, all the nobles in the capital will rush to ask for marriage. Does she want your money? What is she asking for? Your attitude! The dowry represents the sincerity of your family! It represents her guarantee after marriage!

Borrow without you!Are you unwilling to even express this attitude?Are you unwilling to show your sincerity?I am so disappointed in you, how can I trust Xiaohua to you if you are like this? "

It sounds reasonable, but why does it seem that something is not right?

Is it a bad attitude if you can't come up with a high dowry?
Is it insincerity if you can't come up with a high dowry?
I have to borrow money. I know quite a few honorable children, but the problem is to borrow money for a bride price in order to marry a wife. What's the matter?

"Your Majesty, how much dowry do you need to marry Xiao Hua?"

"At least ten thousand and one tael, the meaning is good! Pick one out of ten thousand!"

1 taels! ?Even if Zhang Erhu killed him, he wouldn't be able to get it out.

How much is his salary?If you don't eat or drink, you can't save 1 taels for a lifetime!

If there is a difference of 800 taels, with his face, he can still raise money by opening his mouth with his classmates, and he will gradually pay back in the future.

But this damn thing is ten thousand!
Who the hell can lend it to him?Besides, even if it is lent to him, what will he pay back in the future?

"What? Too much?" Zhu Youjian stared at him and asked.

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty. It is really not easy to have so much silver."

"Do you not know who to borrow from?"

"Yes!"

"How about I give you an idea?"

"The end general can't ask for it!"

"I have some spare money at present, how about I lend you some money?"

"what?"

Zhang Erhu looked at Zhu Youjian blankly, "You want such a high dowry, but if you can't get it yourself, you ask me to borrow it, and if you can't, you plan to lend it to me."What kind of medicine does your old man sell in the gourd!
"Haha." Seeing Zhang Erhu's constipated expression, Zhu Youjian finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and decided not to tease him anymore. "The matter between you and Xiaohua, I and the Empress have been paying attention to it all these years. No matter what, I will never beat a mandarin duck. I will pay the gift money for you."

"This"

After a long circle, the emperor, you still have to pay for me, what are you planning?

"Er Hu, it's a lie to ask you to offer a high-value gift, but it's true that the queen and I feel sorry for Xiao Hua. I can be regarded as watching you grow up, and I will order someone to handle your marriage for you. Married in a glorious way! But this child, Xiao Hua, has suffered too much.

I don't want to make her unhappy after marrying you.If you dare to lose to her in the future, not to mention me, even the empress will not spare you!Do you understand? "

Zhu Youjian looked at Erhu, his tone was serious and sincere.

In fact, the queen didn't approve of their marriage very much. In her opinion, with her relationship with Zhu Youjian, there were many people who were willing to marry Li Xiaohua.

Marrying Zhang Erhu is better than finding a good-behaved son of a noble family in Beijing. First, she can take care of her in the capital, and second, you don't have to follow Zhang Erhu to suffer outside.

But Zhu Youjian strongly supported their marriage.

Because in Zhu Youjian's view, he can give the material foundation at any time, but the pure love between the two cannot be changed casually!

"I will understand at the end!"

Only then did Zhang Erhu understand His Majesty's intention of saying so many words, and replied solemnly.

"Besides, there is another important thing. Come and see." Zhu Youjian pointed to the map on the imperial case. "At the end of the year, I will promote you to the commander-in-chief of Ningxia Town. Within five years, I want you to bring this place, here, and here all into the territory of the Ming Dynasty! What I want is absolute rule. If it takes five years No, then ten years! If ten years doesn’t work, then 20 years!”

Zhu Youjian pointed out four places, Heshuote, Dongchahetai, Erut, and Uszang.

"Your Majesty, these places were originally on good terms with Daming, paying tribute every year, and attacking rashly, right?"

"You can just find an excuse, and I will give you the necessary support!" Then Zhu Youjian looked at his watch again.

"It's almost six o'clock. You've been in the palace for a day. Xiao Hua should be in a hurry. Go and see her. Recovering these places can't be done in a day or two. It needs a long-term plan."

"Then I will retire."

Zhu Youjian nodded and watched Zhang Erhu retreat.

Then he turned around and walked towards Kunning Palace.

"Long live summoned the two tigers?"

"See you. I told him that if he wanted to marry Xiaohua, he had to pay a dowry gift of ten thousand and one taels of silver. His face turned green with fright! Haha~"

"Your Majesty knows how to tease people. Er Hu is a good kid."

"What? Didn't Zitong always disapprove of their marriage? Why are you boasting about Erhu again?"

"It's easy to get a priceless treasure, but it's rare to have a lover. Erhu is also infatuated with Xiaohua, unlike some people who wish to marry all the women in the world before giving up."

Zhou Yufeng sighed and said quietly.
