Chapter 379: The Duke Wants to Fly Alone

"How much?"

Listening to Xiao Zhao's explanation of the future with his head down, Zhao Lao Er couldn't help frowning, and stopped the brush in his hand that was practicing calligraphy.

"100,000!" Xiao Zhao hung his little head and repeated weakly.

“........”

100,000! Is this the name of a cat or dog? That's a year's worth of taxes in an upstate state!

You don't have to think about it to know that Xiao Zhao was deceived by the bastard who smelled Qihang. It takes 100,000 yuan to build an academy, 100,000 yuan to build a theater, and 100,000 yuan to redeem a woman from the Qinglou, he is doing it with 100,000 yuan!

"Wen Jue said that there is a lack of money to build a theater, and if there is no money, it will not be possible to start construction........" Seeing that Zhao Lao Er seemed a little angry, Xiao Zhao explained in a low voice.

“........”

This damn smell of sailing, it's really not a loss at all! Just because the theater will be under royal jurisdiction in the future, there is a shortage of money. He built such a luxurious restaurant for Xinna's concubine, how can he have plenty of money, no matter how you look at that restaurant, it will be worth several theaters!

"When the theater has income in the future, the child can, and you can return the money to your father." Seeing that Zhao Lao Er was silent, Xiao Zhao hurriedly added.

Zhao Lao Er sighed softly and said, "It's not that my father can't give you this money, it's just that you can't listen to all of the words of the lord." Have you ever investigated how much money it would cost to build such a theater?

You must know that Wen Jue inserts a needle when he sees a seam, and he is very greedy. ”

“........ That kid, I'm going to ask Lord Wen. Xiao Zhao said blankly.

"Ask him?" Zhao Lao Er snorted lightly: "He will only tell you that 100,000 guan is far from enough, this is the result of careful calculation." ”

"Then ........," Xiao Zhao said at a loss.

Seeing Xiao Zhao's look of loss, Zhao Lao Er couldn't help but feel compassion, this child has lost his biological mother since he was a child, and he has never made any requests to himself since he was a child. Now it may be that I have finally made up my mind and come to ask for my help. If you refuse directly, it is very likely to break the child's heart.

This damn smell set sail! Zhao Lao Er scolded secretly in his heart, and smiled at Xiao Zhao: "Tell my father, are you a novelty, or do you really want to run a good theater?" ”

"The child really wants to run the theater well, so that he can help his father........ The child saw that his father was always worried about money, and ........" Xiao Zhao bit his lip lightly, and said a little embarrassed: "And the child also wants to save some dowry, the mother died early, and no one saved the dowry for the child........ The child will not be able to get married........"

Zhao Lao Er couldn't help frowning and said, "Who is this gossip?" Isn't your mother still there........"

"But, the child is nine years old this year, and his mother's birthday is only eighteen, how is it possible, it is possible to give birth to a child........" Xiao Zhao said with his head down.

"........" Zhao Lao Er couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although he knew that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden for a long time, he really didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly.

Zhao Lao Er diverted the topic and quipped: "You are now the emperor's daughter, the eldest princess of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know how many young talents there are, crying and shouting that they want to marry you, how can they not marry." ”

"Wen Jue said, he said that when the child grows up, if there is no rich dowry, he will definitely not be able to get married, so he must save some dowry early." Xiao Zhao said frankly.

"That's nonsense!" Zhao Lao Er smiled bitterly and said: "He coaxed you to ask your father for money." ”

But the boy thought he was right. Xiao Zhao pouted.

"Oh, what did he say?" Zhao Lao Er said with interest.

"He said that your father, you are a generation of holy monarchs, and your future achievements will definitely far surpass the three emperors and five emperors, even the former Tang Emperor Taizong Li Shimin will not be able to compare with you........"

"Don't listen to his flattery." Although Zhao Lao Er said so, he still unconsciously put a smile on his face. The highest level of sycophancy is what you overhear. The second realm is heard from the mouths of others, and it is also heard from the mouths of simple-minded children, and this degree of refreshment is naturally incomparable.

"Oh." Xiao Zhao replied and continued: "He said, because of this, you will never let the dictatorship of your relatives in history repeat itself, so the child's future concubine can only enjoy wealth and wealth, but there is absolutely no chance to participate in politics."

Since then, good men don't do it!

The boy could not find a good man to marry, so he could only marry an ordinary man. That's it, it still depends on the child's rich marriage. ”

“........”

If this is an official performance in the court, Wen Qihang will undoubtedly be regarded as a meritorious achievement, but at the same time, it will offend all future relatives. Now it seems that he will give away the credit for this advice, but he will still leave a deep impression in the emperor's mind.

For this kind of style of only wanting to reap benefits and not wanting to take responsibility, Zhao Lao Er loves and hates, what he loves is his timely reminder, and what he hates is that he only wants to reap benefits, and throws all his bad reputation to the emperor's bastard virtue.

This suggestion is very good, so good that even if he knows that he wants to take the blame, he is at ease when he smells sailing, but he has to take it.

"Since you are so confident, then I will definitely fully support you." Zhao Lao Er couldn't help but shake his head and said. I've only been with that bastard for a few days! The original delicate silly girl was already worried about her future marriage.

"Long live Father!" Xiao Zhao clenched his small fists and said excitedly.

"Don't be happy yet, you must know that these 100,000 yuan, whether it is the treasury or the inner government, it is impossible to give it to you." Zhao Lao Er struck.

"Ah........" Xiao Zhao couldn't help but say with a gloomy expression.

Zhao Lao Er stepped forward and touched Xiao Zhao's little head, and sighed: "This time flies really fast!" It seems that in the blink of an eye, you are still in your infancy, and you are about to grow up.

My father wanted to keep you by his side for a little longer, and then next year or the year after, you decided on a family affair and then prepared for you to build a princess's mansion. However, since you are now ready to share your father's worries, it is better to put this matter on the agenda as soon as possible.

Since it is to prepare for the construction of the princess's mansion, the inner mansion has a reason to allocate funds, although it is usually earmarked, but you can take part of it to use it for the construction of the theater. ”

"........" Xiao Zhao doesn't know whether to be happy or sad now, preparing to build the princess's mansion means that she will have to leave the palace in the future. Leaving the palace also means that she will not be able to see the Queen Mother's grandmother and father often in the future.

"Why, when you have money, you're not happy?" Zhao Lao Er smiled.

"........" Xiao Zhao lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and then said after a while: "Won't you be able to see your father and the queen mother and grandmother often when you are a child?" ”

Zhao Lao Er said with relief: "If you want to miss your father and the queen mother, you can enter the palace at any time, and your princess's mansion is not too far away from us." ”

"Really?" Xiao Zhao said happily.

"Of course it's true." Zhao Lao Er assured.

"Then father, how much money do you plan to give your child to build the princess's mansion?" Xiao Zhao finally put his mind at ease and wrapped his arms around Zhao Laoer's arm.

"How about 50,000 guan?" Zhao Lao Er said with a smile.

"Ah, it's only 50,000!" Xiao Zhao pursed his lips and said.

"Too little?" The corners of Zhao Laoer's mouth curled slightly.

"Even if the princess's mansion is not built, the money will not be enough to build a theater........ Father, please give me more! Xiao Zhao shook Zhao Laoer's arm and said. At the beginning, I boasted about Haikou with the guy who smelled Qihang, if I didn't get money, what a shame!

Zhao Lao Er sighed and said, "Then it's 100,000 runs, it really can't be more." ”

"But, but this is only enough to build a theater, what about the Princess's Mansion?" Xiao Zhao pouted.

"You can rest assured about this matter, my father has his own arrangements." Zhao Lao Er gently patted Xiao Zhao's arm and comforted.
