Chapter 546 The Painful Reality (1)
Xiao Mingyu lowered his head, "My lord is like this, I can't repay you." Xiao Mingyu didn't want to pursue whether he was ambitious because he wanted to make meritorious service, or because he wanted to marry her.There seems to be a huge difference between the two, but in fact there is not much difference.The ultimate goal is to make meritorious service, to increase the right to speak in front of the emperor.It is rare for Zhou Qian to have such intentions.

"Waiting for me to marry you with peace of mind is my reward to this king." Zhou Gan said with a smile.

Xiao Mingyu also smiled, "How does the lord plan to settle those refugees."

Zhou Gan said, "Relying on disaster relief from the imperial court alone will definitely not be able to solve the livelihood of so many refugees. And this year is not the only place affected by the disaster. This king needs to find a way out for these refugees, and find a way to survive."

"Is the prince planning to use work as a substitute for relief?" Xiao Mingyu asked.

Zhou Gan nodded approvingly, "Exactly. Only in this way can these refugees truly settle down."

Xiao Mingyu asked again, "If you need help, please feel free to ask."

Zhou Gan smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything has been arranged. I will leave for the next state capital tomorrow morning. We will meet today, maybe we will have to wait another half a year or so. Ming Yu, don't you want to say something to me? "

Xiao Mingyu lowered his head, hiding his inner emotions, "Take care all the way."

"I don't need your perfunctory, Ming Yu, can't you tell me the truth?"

Xiao Mingyu raised his head abruptly, with determination and a smile in his eyes, and he was instantly glamorous.Xiao Mingyu asked solemnly: "Zhou Qian, are you really willing to marry me?"

"Of course." Zhou Qian nodded solemnly.

Xiao Mingyu asked again, "Zhou Gan, can you guarantee that I am the only woman?"

"Although I may have other women in name, in fact I will only have you. But you have to give me more sons." Zhou Qian said very seriously.

Xiao Mingyu blushed slightly, the topic of giving birth to a son was too fast, so she ignored it. "Even if the emperor and empress object, will you stick to your original intention to marry me?"

"Of course." Zhou Gan held Xiao Mingyu's hand, "I, Zhou Gan, swear that I will marry Xiao Mingyu as my wife in this life, and I will definitely not let Xiao Mingyu down. If I break my oath, I will be struck by lightning."

"Okay, I believe you." Xiao Mingyu smiled brightly, his eyes rolled with affection, "As long as you marry, I will marry you."

Standing on the carriage, Xiao Mingyu watched Zhou Gan's carriage leave.Until the carriage disappeared from sight.Spreading out the palm of her hand, she saw a piece of jade pendant, which was given to her by Zhou Gan.One can tell at a glance that this jade pendant is extraordinary, representing Zhou Qian's noble status.Zhou Gan gave it, and Xiao Mingyu also accepted it.Those who give take it for granted, and those who take it take it for granted.Thinking of getting along with Zhou Gan, Xiao Mingyu laughed.

The Jiao brothers were by Xiao Mingyu's side, "Girl, the prince must very much hope that the girl will send him off in person."

Xiao Mingyu laughed, "I know, but he and I both have responsibilities on our shoulders. He must understand why I didn't go to deliver it in person, and I also understand why he left in such a hurry."

The carriage was no longer visible, so Xiao Mingyu also jumped out of the carriage, got into the carriage, and stayed by Han Shi's side.Brother Cheng has been able to talk more and more recently.Just as he hugged Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng was yelling, "Sister, sister..."

Xiao Mingyu smiled and kissed Brother Cheng on the cheek, "Honey, I don't think my sister is there."

"Think!" Brother Cheng narrowed his eyes as he smiled, and lay on Xiao Mingyu's body, remained silent for a moment, then moved around again.

"Mother, brother Cheng likes to walk on the ground, it seems that he should get out of the carriage and walk around more in the future." Xiao Mingyu helped brother Cheng to walk, so that the boy would not fall down.

Han looked at the pair of children and laughed. "If you are free in the future, take him down. This kid has been tossing people around these days."

"Brother Cheng is in good health. Even adults are tired and fall ill, but his spirit is still very good. When he grows up in the future, he will be a man of indomitable spirit."

Han said with a smile, "I don't ask how capable he is, just ask him to be safe, able to support himself, have a sense of responsibility, and be able to support the family."

Xiao Mingyu's expression froze, "Mother, what are you talking about. Even if there is no one in our fifth room to support the door, it means that there is still a daughter. A daughter is no worse than a man."

"You are three points stronger than men. But the rules in the capital are so strict, how can you show your face?"

"My daughter doesn't show her face, she just asks her servants to do things." Xiao Mingyu said with a smile, "It's like when we were in Zhongzhou, Shen Minyou and Feng Changgen were asked to show up. They have both experienced and trained, and they can stand alone .When I arrive in the capital, Mother will give me some capital, and I will definitely work hard, so that Mother will not worry about money, let alone my dowry."

Now that he has agreed to marry Zhou Qian, it is natural to prepare a generous dowry.The lack of identity is made up with dowry.This is also the most practical way Xiao Mingyu can think of.It is not an easy task to earn a lot of money in just two or three years.But Xiao Mingyu is willing to challenge to see where her limit is.

After everything was settled, the Xiao family and the Xue family left together. The guards of the Xiao family guarded the two families in the middle to ensure everyone's safety.

The journey was safe and there were far fewer refugees following the convoy.Basically, the fifty recruited servants were the family members of the thirty rough envoys.These people following behind will not cost the Xiao family an extra penny, but they will invisibly bring some benefits to the Xiao family.For example, when encountering some small teams of refugees, those refugees will take the initiative to drive them away without the guards of the servants.

I ate dry food at noon, and did not stop to rest. I walked all the way until it was dark and found a water source. Then I stopped, buried pots for cooking, and set up tents.

Someone from Xue's family came, "Miss Xiao, my old lady invited Miss Xiao to come and talk."

Xiao Mingyu put down Brother Cheng and clapped his hands, "Please lead the way."

When Xiao Mingyu saw Mrs. Xue, he saluted respectfully.This time the girls and wives of the Xue family all stepped out of the carriage and sat around the old lady Xue.Seeing Xiao Mingyu dressed in men's clothes, everyone was actually very curious.Of course, it was inevitable that some people would gossip in private, but they were all taught a lesson by Mrs. Xue.

The old lady Xue laughed, "Miss Xiao, please sit down."

"I don't know why the old lady asked me to come over." Xiao Ming sat opposite to the old lady Xue, looking at Xue's family calmly under the firelight.Among the two wives of the Xue family, it was obvious that the eldest wife had the upper hand.As for the second wife, she looks like a little daughter-in-law.As Mrs. Ai Xue said, most of the team members are female relatives.Besides Xue Jinyan, there are two other boys who are less than ten years old.According to the introduction, one is from the first room and the other is from the second room.
