Chapter 542: Bride Price
Emperor Yan Cheng didn't dislike it at all, and sat down on his lap with Sister Hong'er in his arms, and Wen Yan asked her, "Have you eaten?" What do you want to eat? ”
The little girl has already eaten it, but it is the nature of children to be greedy. So he looked at the emperor with blank eyes and stretched out a little finger, "I still want to eat a little bit." ”
Glancing at her father again, she whispered, "Just a little." ”
Look at this house, it's so strict.
Emperor Yan Cheng became more and more distressed, and personally picked out what she wanted to eat, and asked Li Dahai to take care of her by his own imperial case with a small bowl.
Seeing such grace, the ministers did not dare to speak.
Taishi Xu swallowed his anger even more.
If he asked, what if the emperor simply admitted Sister Hong's identity in front of the ministers?
He didn't do such stupid things.
It's a marriage with Wulie, if Princess Qinghe really doesn't want to marry, it can't be cheaper than the county lord of Changping.
Otherwise, if the Xie family gains power, what is the benefit to his Xu family?
So Mrs. Xu thought about it and interrupted the topic of family affairs.
"If you want to marry Qin and Jin, we also have a lot of good men in Dayan. If the king of Khan is willing to marry the royal nobles, it is also a good thing. ”
If you want to say that this old fox, I hate it, but when I am willing to put my mind to business, I am also very capable.
His Royal Highness the King of Han answered, "What the Taishi said is extremely true. The king of Khan is so sincere, he must be willing to persuade the noble daughter of the clan to marry Dayan. Since the King of Khan has come, he has also seen with his own eyes the splendor of my Dayan, which is slightly better than the grassland. Thinking about it, it is the king of the parents Khan, and there is nothing to be reluctant to. ”
Yes, yes.
Even if Xie Changping took the initiative to mention it, Xie Gui was unwilling to marry a daughter.
The Xie family is a high-ranking family, and they don't need their daughters and relatives very much to add glory to the family. It's better to stay by your side, marry closer, and be a family help in the future.
"If the king of Khan is willing to marry a noble daughter of the tribe, no matter which family he likes, it is also a good thing to ask the emperor to be the lord of the marriage. As for the bride price, we must give it generously. ”
That's it.
Wu Lie sang and sang to their kings and ministers, so that they couldn't answer.
The nobles of the grassland tribe generally only keep the marriage between the tribes. Sent to Dayan, it is tantamount to a meat bun beating a dog, and in the future, the heart will be to the husband's family, how can there be any benefit in the grassland?
He wanted to come and ask for a marriage, but what he asked for was the princess and county lord who Dayan valued and was willing to accompany him to give a rich dowry. As well as the princess and the princess, the county lord has a heart for the grassland, and is willing to ask for benefits for them.
On the other hand, there are hostages in hand. In case there is a conflict in the future, so that Dayan can compromise.
But he was reluctant to marry his own noble daughter.
Emperor Yan Cheng was a little unhappy when he saw what he meant.
I secretly thought that the Han family always went to the grassland to marry a girl, why couldn't I marry a daughter from the grassland to the Han family?
At that moment, the phoenix's eyes were slightly cold, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "What, King Khan is reluctant?" Why don't you marry a noble girl, and I give you the wool loom as a bride price? ”
At this moment, Wu Lie was really embarrassed.
The wool loom was what he wanted, but he was reluctant to pay attention to the noble girl, so he had to pretend to play haha and not mention it for the time being.
A courtship made it so quiet.
It's even harder to bring it up again.
When he returned from this day, Mu Liqing saw the servants in the post house gathering together to laugh, and when he saw that they were coming, they all shut up and scattered, and he immediately became suspicious.
"These Yan people don't know what to say behind their backs, and now their emperor has no intention of getting married. King Khan, why don't we ask for a wool loom and go back." ”
Wu Lie shook his head, "If the wolf doesn't even dare to catch the sheep, sooner or later he won't even be able to eat the rabbit." If we take a step back and don't want their women, Emperor Dayan won't even give us the loom. As for what those villains say, don't care. You should go and inquire about the details of the Changping county lord, the Han people have a saying, know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles. She must be weird when she's so old and still doesn't get married. ”
Mu Liqing took the order.
A few days later, the county lord of Changping, who had just returned to the palace, received a report from his family that the eldest princess of Ruyang said that she was unwell and urged her to go back to serve the sick.
Xie Changping felt quite strange.
She just returned to Beijing and went home to say goodbye, obviously seeing that the eldest princess of Ruyang was so decent, why was she uncomfortable?
If you don't want to go, you can persuade the palace maid Ningshuang, "Let's go back and see, in the end, it's my mother, otherwise a filial piety word will be pressed down, and it will always be the county lord's." ”
Xie Changping smiled, raised his hand and stroked her chin, "So virtuous, do you want to marry you in this palace?" ”
Frost was accustomed to it and laughed, "Yes, yes." I'm afraid that the county lord is too good and swallows me alive. ”
"That's impossible, this palace has always been wet with rain and dew, aren't you all right?"
"It was installed in front of you, but in fact, there were several jars of vinegar in the morning."
……
The master and servant said a few funny words, but Xie Changping still agreed to go home tomorrow to visit.
The eldest princess of Deyang pinched the silver ticket in her sleeve and said to Mu Liqing with satisfaction, "She has promised to let your Khan King visit you tomorrow." When the two of them meet, let your Khan King be gentle and kind, and I will be thorough, and I will be able to say that Nizi will change her mind. ”
Mu Liqing took a step forward and said softly, "Princess, don't think the villain is vulgar, if that's the case, why don't you just cook raw rice and mature rice?" Cooked ducks can also fly, and only when they are eaten in the stomach is the most appropriate, right? ”
The eldest princess of Deyang was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Who does your Khan King think of this palace?" Is it a media puller? ”
Mu Liqing stretched out a finger, "If the princess is willing to help, our Khan King is willing to add another thousand taels." ”
"That's Hongu's niece!"
"Two thousand."
"Three thousand!"
"It's a deal."
So, when Xie Changping returned to the mansion of the eldest princess of Ruyang, he didn't see the sick old lady, but he heard a hearty preaching.
"At such an old age, what do you want to make trouble if you don't get married?"
"If the capital doesn't laugh at you, people will laugh at your mother!"
"This palace gave birth to a daughter, is she crippled or lame, or blind and deaf, why can't she get married?"
"Then the daughter of the King of Han will run all over the ground, are you still thinking about him?"
"I don't care, since you have returned to the capital this time, even if it is to repay your mother's nurturing grace, you have to marry me!"
……
Xie Changping was very angry.
Is there such an unreasonable mother?
completely disregarded her own wishes and feelings, and for the sake of her own face, she had to marry her hastily. What kind of bad luck did she fall into, cast such a baby?
"My mother gave birth to me, and there's nothing to say. But when it comes to kindness, my daughter is only afraid that she owes more to several concubines in the palace! ”
"They taught me to read and write, and they took care of my daily life. When my daughter was sick, she didn't sleep and stayed with me all night. Mother, where were you? ”
"Now even if she is charged with unfilial piety, her daughter will not marry, if my mother persecutes her like this again, I will twist my hair and become a sister-in-law!"
