Chapter 654: Dowry
On the way back from the king of Yanbei and Xiao Ren, they received a message from the scout.
The Little Khan King of Black Pine accepted Yang Qin and gave up a mountain range for Yang Qin to accumulate troops.
Xiao Ren snorted coldly: "The Black Pine tribe has broken away from the Tartars, the King of the Tartars will not let him go, this battle will have to be fought sooner or later, I am afraid that at that time, it will be Yang Qin's army who will go to the vanguard for him." ”
The king of Yanbei County grinned: "Seventh brother, you haven't been to Tartar, you may not know yet, the place where the Black Pine tribe is located is different from other tribes, they have no grassland, only mountains, the Black Pine tribe has relied on the mountains to eat for generations, and they are very far away from the Tartars, the Tartar army has beaten them twice, both times were defeated, in my opinion, the Tartar King will not pay attention to him in a few years, and now he has taken Yang Qin, and the Tartar King will not care about him, unless Yang Qin eats the Black Pine Tribe, hehehe." ”
He laughed weirdly.
Xiao Ren glanced at him, obviously he had a beautiful face that was blown up, why did he have so many bad eyes.
"Aren't you afraid that Yang Qin will eat the Black Pine Tribe and turn around and beat you?" Xiao Ren had the heart to test him.
"I'm afraid, the people of the Black Pine tribe are either hunters or visitors, both of these people are deadly, and they are as familiar with the mountains as if they were their own home. So I can only ask the king of Tartar to fight them for me, alas, I am tired to think about it. ”
This is clearly to provoke the king of Tartar and let the king of Tartar send troops to Yang Qin.
"Do you have a solution?" Xiao Ren asked again.
King Yanbei said with a smile: "It's just a preliminary idea, when I'm full and eat a few meals, I'll think about it again." ”
After speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, looked up at Xiao Ren, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling: "Seventh brother, how much dowry are you going to give?" ”
Xiao Ren was stunned, this is too direct, and besides, does Mrs. Yun know?
He took a deep breath and asked, "This is what Madam Yun asked you to ask?" ”
"Of course not, A-Niang doesn't care about these mother-in-law's affairs, alas, I can't help it, my father is gone, A-Niang doesn't care, the two younger sisters are still too young, my sister is a girl's family, I can't ask you myself, so these things can only be done by me, Seventh Brother, I have three sisters, and I have to marry my sister after marrying my sister, I am tired when I think about it."
The king of Yanbei County gushed endlessly, and the central idea was that he didn't want it, but he couldn't help but ask.
The so-called marrying a sister after marrying a sister means that you have to make a rule from your sister, and the two younger sisters will marry according to the precedent of your sister in the future.
Xiao Ren had thought about this question for a long time, so he started saving money a few years ago.
For this reason, when Zhou Zheng was engaged, Xiao Ren also went to the Qin Palace's mansion to copy a list of dowries.
However, Liu's background cannot be compared with Tongtong, and the list is still a little worse.
He asked, "I have saved 70,000 taels of silver, I don't know if it is enough?" ”
"Hey, the money that King Qin gave you seems to be very high?"
The king of Yanbei County blinked and fell asleep with a pair of big eyes, like a very Tongtong, Xiao Ren's heart softened, so he told the truth: "I don't have much, but I grew up, either in the palace or in the barracks, there is no place to spend money, so I saved some, in addition, I have a horse farm, this matter is known to the prince, part of the war horses of the Western Qin army are provided by my horse farm, and most of the silver I saved comes from the horse farm." In addition, Zhou Zheng and I also have a stake in a coal mine, which is a new mine, and it will take at least two or three years to see the benefits, and we have not yet received dividends. ”
The king of Yanbei County found that his brother-in-law was so honest.
In other words, he would not easily tell all his family background.
He suddenly couldn't bear to ask any more, and said: "You only have 70,000 taels of silver, of course you can't use it all as a dowry, just 30,000, as for my sister's dowry, you don't have to worry, although my palace is almost scooped up, but there are always some good things, I won't let my sister suffer." ”
Xiao Ren breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then when should I go to propose?" ”
Xiao Ren originally wanted to wait until the world was settled before proposing, he didn't want to marry Zhou Tong when the war was in chaos, and he didn't want to be like Zhou Zheng, who had to separate from his wife after getting married.
But now that he heard the king of Yanbei ask, he suddenly thought, if this battle lasts for ten or eight years, then Tongtong will have to wait for him for ten or eight years?
He has been waiting for so many years, and it doesn't hurt to wait another ten or eight years, but Tongtong is already seventeen years old, does he want Tongtong to be a bride until twenty-seven or eighteen?
Mo said that he didn't want to, and Yun Qi and the King of Yanbei County would not agree.
He made up his mind, while he was still in Yanbei, he formally proposed to Yun Qi, if Yun Qi agreed to this family affair, then set the family affair, as for when he would get married, he also asked Zhou Tong.
This is not something that the king of Yanbei can say, and it must be agreed by Tongtong.
"A-Niang is still in Baimarin, from my sister's camp to Baimarin, there are three days of travel, I suffer a little loss, let my sister go with you. Do you know why I want my sister to go back with you? King Yanbei smiled like a little fox.
"Why?" Xiao Ren was puzzled.
"Because my aunt thinks that my sister eloped to find you, you kidnapped my sister, after she sees you, she will definitely kill you, if my sister is here, she can still protect you, she is reluctant to beat my sister, when the time comes, let my sister protect you behind her, my sister's knife can only be cut on my sister, when she sees my sister, she can't do it."
Xiao Ren was full of black lines.
When he went to propose, did he want to be fully armed and put on armor?
For fear that he wouldn't believe it, the king of Yanbei County continued: "The empress dowager wants to kill people, and she has to plan and calculate carefully, but my aunt wants to kill people, so she directly cut it down, and her head is gone with a click, by the way, seventh brother, have you ever seen my aunt kill people?" ”
Xiao Ren exhaled a long breath, his brother-in-law was reluctant to marry his sister to him, so he wanted to scare him away.
"It doesn't matter, as long as Mrs. Yun agrees to marry your sister to me, it's worth it for me to take a few stabs from her." Xiao Ren straightened his chest, he is a military general, and a military general will not be afraid of death, not to mention that he is still trying to marry Tongtong.
The king of Yanbei County sighed infinitely, this is to marry his sister?
He only has one sister, and it was not easy to find him.
It would be nice if Xiao Ren could get into the house, of course, this is impossible, even if Xiao Ren agrees, my sister will not agree, not to mention the Xiao family, will Xiao Changdun's old man find Yanbei and hit his head on the flagpole of his bandit's den?
The king of Yanbei was very troubled.
