There was a temporary silence in the room, I don't know if Cen Zhang was also shocked by the number of these dowries, or if he had other plans, and after a long time, Cen Zhang's laughter came from the room. His laughter lasted for a long time, in front of the superiors, this kind of laughter was quite arrogant and rude, Cen Zhang, who had always been cautious in front of the court officials, could not easily do this kind of behavior, so that Cen Lian, who was listening to the corner outside, was also a little confused.

"Haha, Qincha, Qincha, the old man originally thought that you just liked women. Now it seems that I was mistaken, your appetite is very big, so many dowries, I'm afraid that a little Lian'er is not worth so much, you are afraid that the lives of the entire Cen clan in our naturalized state are calculated into it. As soon as we accept these things, we will have to work for you in the future. ”

Yang Chengzu's voice sounded, but it was different from the gentleness that Cen Lian heard in the past, and it was also different from the warmth of Fang Cai, and the chill revealed inside made Cen Lian tremble slightly outside the door.

"It's not for me, it's for the court, since the moment you changed the land and returned to the river, your father-in-law should know who you should be loyal to and who you should die for, right? Cen Hua married Cen Meng, but was placed under house arrest, you don't say that you stand up for your daughter, but you want to marry another daughter as a concubine, hoping to be able to correct one day. The picture is just Tianzhou's aid, I'm right, right? How much aid can Tian Zhou have, in other words, what does his aid count compared to his own officials'? Don't think that Emperor Tiangao is far away from Shunzhou, and the court whip is out of reach, you are located at the junction of Guangxi and Yunnan, you should know the power of the Duke of Qian. ”

The Duke of Qianguo, who guarded Yunnan, was like the emperor of Yunnan, and his prestige was only stronger than that of Wei Guogong in Nanjing, and Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and even Sichuan were all more or less affected by it. Cen Zhang naturally knew the name of the Mu family, and did not speak, just waiting for Yang Chengzu's next words.

"My wife is the daughter of the Marquis of Wuding, a noble family, married to each other, a thousand years old in the contemporary Qianguo AD, that is my elder. As long as I send a letter to the past, he will give you some help, and what kind of power will be wasted. You don't want to contribute too much to the court, you want to preserve your vitality, I can understand this, but I can't understand whether you want to marry your daughter or not. Old man, if you leave me Sanzhou Yifeng, it will not be a problem for me to guarantee you as a general soldier in Guangxi. As for now, Guishun, Zhen'an, and Tianzhou, the territory of these three states can still be promised to you. You have a feud with Zhen'an Mansion, everyone has been killing and killing for so many years, and even the lady of the palm seal has become your wife, so you are not afraid of others retaliating in the future? You don't want these things today, and I don't have to give them to you. To tell the truth, two days ago, there were also envoys from Zhen'an Mansion who came over, saying that their local prefect also had a few outstanding daughters who wanted to send them to marry me, and if these dowries were sent to Zhen'an, they would be happy. ”

A violent cough suddenly sounded, as if he was choked by the smoke, and after a while, he heard Cen Zhang sigh and say: "Although Cen Meng is a bad tiger, he is old and confident, as long as he is alive, he can be restrained." Lian'er, a fool, actually found you a poisonous insect, not only was she chewed clean by you, but even our family business in Shunzhou couldn't escape your calculations. ”

Cen Lian took the bowl, step by step, tiptoed backwards and left, raised her sleeves, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Sister...... Sure enough, Brother Chengzu still thinks about his sister in his heart? But even if it's just a substitute for his sister, he just needs to like himself. There are so many beautiful sisters in the house, I have to behave better, so that Brother Chengzu will like me more. A stand-in is a stand-in, what's the big deal, at least my dowry is much more face-saving than my sister's.

Thinking of this, she went all the way into the kitchen and began to work hard to learn how to be a housewife and prepare food for her husband. In the room, the transaction between Cen Zhang and Yang Chengzu can only be regarded as just beginning.

Of course, Cen Zhang knew that the value of these dowries was not trivial, even if his family had been guarding Shunzhou for generations, he would not be able to take out such a huge sum of materials. However, the greater the value, the higher the requirements, according to the information obtained along the way, he is not without speculation about what Qin Cha wants, but whether to agree or not, he has not yet made up his mind.

Yang Chengzu poured a cup of tea for Cen Zhang, "I know, you are the head of the family, you must think more, but I send you a sentence, when you continue to break, you will suffer from it." There are some people behind you, I can also think of it, but let me tell you a person, Xie Zun, the king of Southeast Mi. He is a great Confucian, a family of poetry and books, and almost became a relative of the emperor. Friends all over the world, Shilin is still in the literary world, there are many good people, Wuyi Xie's famous family for hundreds of years, what now? The men in the family either died or were conscripted, and the women entered the Church Division. Those people standing behind you, whether it is about money or relationship, how can they compare with Xie? I can kill the Xie family, can't I kill them? You are a smart person, and it is important to know when and with whom to stand. I believe in your vision, you won't stand wrong, come and drink the tea, and everyone will be happy to be a son-in-law. I promise to honor you and promise to be good to Lian'er. ”

"I don't need you to be filial, Lian'er's stupid girl is not much better, I just hope you don't treat her too harshly." Cen Zhang sighed, raised his head and drank the tea, while the tea was chewed vigorously in his mouth, and after a while, he spit out.

"The tea is good, it's fresh, add some tea to the dowry." You haven't been to Guangxi, you don't know how poor it is, it's a real poor country, and you lack everything. Even if it's a dowry, you can't get anything good. What everyone has is a life, and they dare to work hard for some small things. The temperament of the leader must not be too soft, otherwise the whole village will be bullied. If you can't fight for things in the clan, the position of this head person will not be imprisoned. Cen Meng is not a willing character, Lian'er is his daughter-in-law, in fact, it has already been decided, and he can't swallow this breath because he was taken away by you. ”

"If he can't swallow it, I'll help him swallow it, and if he goes back to Tianzhou, his father-in-law can also help him swallow it. Today, I will have a banquet in Xingyuan, and the governor of Liangguang, the governor of Guangdong, and the general Shen Xiyi, who has a face in Guangxi, will all come over to accompany the guests. You are the most honored guest in the whole banquet, because you are an elder? After this meal, are you still worried about the situation in Guangxi in the future? ”

Cen Zhang didn't speak, but closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally stretched out his slap, "I want my flowers to be the head of Tianzhou." Even if she changes her land and returns to the river in the future, she will not be able to move Tianzhou until she is no longer alive. As for Guishun, I must protect my three generations in the town, and as for Zhen'an Mansion, ......"

"Old Taishan, rest assured, there won't be any Zhen'an Mansion at that time."

"It's a deal."

The two hands slammed into each other with a crisp sound.
