Chapter 446: Engagement, Banging
Xu Yuan still successfully left.
Exited the Marex virtual world and returned to the Ming world.
But it took a lot of money to get out of the way.
Ten kilograms of heavy gold bricks, leaving a full 100 million pieces, filling the underground space of the entire town hall, equivalent to 100,000 tons of gold, according to the purchasing power of gold, can buy countless things, for the small city-state of Toho, even if it takes a hundred years, it may not be able to be spent, is a huge unimaginable wealth.
The second is all kinds of weapons and equipment, and there are also as many as 10 million boxes, enough to equip hundreds of thousands of troops, which have been used for several years, and even Dongbang has fallen into a long war, and is not afraid of insufficient use and consumption of weapons, and has the ability to consume any opponent.
In the end, Xu Yuan promised that he would come back at least twice a year, no matter how long he stayed, but every time he came back, he had to leave something behind, whether it was gold, or arms and weapons, he could leave anything, anyway, twice a year, he couldn't miss it, after all, these things were for her and the child's child support, and they had to be compensated.
The above.
Xu Yuan promised all or cashed in on the spot, no way, although this is just a game, but the characters and NPCs in it are all genuine, not a bunch of electronic data, and even in reality, there are corresponding human bodies, Xu Yuan can't take this as a virtual experience, ignore these precious emotions, and be a scumbag who doesn't care, this kind of thing, he really can't do it, and he won't do it, since he has loved it, he has to be responsible to the end, if he can't do it, he has to take responsibility to the end, In this way, even if you will suffer a lot of complaints, you can have a clear conscience.
……
Soon.
Return to the world of Daming.
Xujiazhuang, Harbour City.
Look at the time, it is already the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, the twenty-eighth month of winter, and it will be the cold winter of Layue soon.
The new year seems to be just around the corner.
And next year will be the nineteenth year of Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen's eldest son, the crown prince Zhu Cihong, is about to turn eighteen years old and become an adult.
And Xu Yuan's eldest daughter, Xu Qingmei, is also sixteen years old this year, almost seventeen, and is about to become an adult woman.
Therefore, the marriage of these two children should be put on the agenda, at least they should be engaged in advance, and after two years, they will officially get married and become a couple.
Looking at his daughter Xu Qingmei, although her appearance is not very top-notch, she is also a very temperamental beauty, and she is definitely worthy of Zhu Cihong, a kid who is definitely worthy of Zhu Cihong, and when Zhu Cihong ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, her daughter will be the queen, and she will become a model for women in the world and a role model for all women.
Xu Yuan sighed, it was really a blink of an eye, his daughter was so old, she was about to become an adult, this time passed really fast, and she hadn't noticed it yet, a girl who was about the same as herself, stood in front of her, with three points of restraint and five points of expectation, and two points of desire and apprehension, after all, her life's event, no matter that girl, she had both expectations and worries, afraid that she would not be able to get true love, especially those women who were going to marry into the royal family, Thinking of the extremely cruel harem competitive environment, it is impossible to say that she doesn't care or worry at all, and the only thing that can give this girl confidence is her father, the man who gave her life.
Inside the living room of the White Castle.
looked at Qiao Shengsheng standing in front of him, holding his hands and lowering his head slightly.
Xu Yuan opened his mouth and said to her: "Light eyebrows, find a seat and sit down, I am your father, you don't have to stand and talk to me." ”
"Yes, Daddy."
Xu Qingmei found a chair at hand and sat down cautiously, but half of his buttocks were exposed, and his expression was still very restrained, and he did not relax.
"Light eyebrows, don't be so raw, I'm your father, although you were naughty when you were a child, but my favorite is you, but I didn't expect a blink of an eye, you grew up, became beautiful, became sensible, but so raw, hey, it's all my fault, I usually neglect you too much, I haven't fulfilled the responsibility of a good father, now you're about to get engaged, you're going to get married in two years, I don't know how long I can come back, I don't think you may be able to see you, hey, my care and companionship for you is indeed too little."
Xu Yuan fell into a burst of self-blame, and suddenly felt that he was really not a good father, just a scumbag who liked to mess with flowers, blindly obeying superficial desires, ignoring precious family affection, this is really very bad, when he gets old, his children are not filial, and he doesn't care much about taking care of himself, so he deserves to ask for himself, and he can't blame his children for not being filial.
"Daddy, you're right, you have so many big things to do, you have time to take care of us, you don't have to blame yourself at all, it's not your fault."
Xu Qingmei was a little frightened, and waved his hand again and again and said, this sensible appearance made people feel distressed again.
"Okay, okay, my father is qualified or not, I know best in my heart, you don't have to help say good things, say it, my good daughter, you are about to get engaged, I have to prepare a dowry for you that can be put on the table, to prove that you are worthy of the crown prince of the Ming Empire, say it, you want those things yourself, as long as it is not a star in the sky, I will get it all for you, give you as a dowry, and I can't let the world underestimate my Xu Yuan's children."
Out of guilt, Xu Yuan waved his hand and said that he planned to add more snacks to his daughter's dowry, and he must not let her suffer the slightest grievance.
"Daddy, as for the dowry, my mother prepared a part for me, and I also saved some pocket money myself, so you don't have to worry too much, you can support the dignity of our family."
Xu Qingmei shook his head again and again, in the matter of dowry, in fact, his mother Xia He has long been prepared, after all, as her mother's favorite eldest daughter, the things left to her are also very rich, the value of various stocks and bonds alone is more than 2 million silver dollars, as well as 3 Nanyang Manors, 2 factories, plus the annuity he has saved over the years, the total value is more than 8 million silver dollars, such a sky-high dowry is definitely a record of breaking the Ming Dynasty's marriage, without the eldest lady of that family, there will be such a huge amount of dowry, gave her enough face and attention, she couldn't be more satisfied, but she didn't expect that her father Xu Yuan actually wanted to give her more dowry, so that she had more confidence, which made her heart pound, and she felt more expectant, but she also refused to say: "Daddy, no need, your care and reconciliation for me is more important than any dowry, don't spend too much money on this, not to mention that I am just a concubine, if I spend too much for me, my brothers and sisters will be very unhappy, although our family is rich, But with so much dowry, the family will not be able to bear it, and if you favor one over the other, it will hurt your feelings, which is not a good thing, so forget it. ”
"No way!"
Xu Yuan patted the back of the chair and said: "I have the final say on this matter, my daughter, she can't suffer the slightest grievance, she must marry in style, and even if she marries the prince and the future emperor, in my eyes, she is also married, and the necessary pomp and circumstance is not missing at all, you just listen to my arrangement." ”
After thinking about it, Xu Yuan said: "In this way, the king's manor will get you one, just enclose land in the Northeast Plain, occupy no less than one million acres of fertile land, this is the most basic guarantee, if you are wronged in the future, or encounter an economic crisis, you will return to the king's manor to rest, at least there is a guarantee for food, and you will never starve to death, this is one of them." ”
"Second, give you stocks or options worth 10 million, you can enjoy dividends every year, and if you encounter any difficulties, you can also sell the stocks or options in your hand, so as not to be in a hurry and fall into panic, which is the second guarantee."
"Third, I will give you 20 luxury cars, 20 Yunlin sports cars, 5 luxury buses, and 5 private jets, so as to facilitate future travel, you must have the most basic decency, otherwise how to reflect our nobility and specialness, no way, you are going to be a queen in the future, you must have a shelf, and you can't be compared with other women."
"Fourth, 500 kilograms of gold jewelry, 3,000 pieces of other jewelry, 100 sets of high-end cosmetics, 999 sets of clothes, 800 pieces of rosewood furniture, and a number of household appliances, these are all necessary to use, no matter that daughter gets married in the future, these are all standard configurations, and there will be a slight difference in quantity.
"In the end, in this harbor city, there will always be a high-end villa, stay there and wait for you, if you are wronged one day and want to go back to your parents' home, don't worry, there will always be your place here, no one will dislike you, me and your mother, and brothers and sisters, will always be your strongest backing, this back road will always be left to you."
"Also, the dowry that your mother prepared for you is your mother's share, and it can't be reduced, and you continue to keep the pocket money you saved for yourself, and you continue to keep it for yourself, what I give is official, and everything else is the icing on the cake, and it should be enough, good daughter, do you think you are still satisfied?"
Xu Yuan asked.
"Satisfied, Daddy, I'm very, very satisfied, thank you Daddy!"
Xu Qingmei nodded again and again, tears of excitement fell, and he was moved.
To tell the truth, her father Xu Yuan is in her heart, although she has always been kind and kind to the image, she has never scolded her, when she was a child, she has always liked her father more than her mother, because her father will always give her all kinds of delicious food, fun, and she is very good to herself, even if there are many brothers and sisters, but she feels that the father's love she gets is not less, and she has a very happy childhood.
It's just that after growing up, his father gradually accompanied him less, his sense of existence became thinner and thinner, and his majestic image gradually became strange and majestic.
But at this moment.
She was really touched and really experienced the profound fatherly love.
After all, the value of a king's manor is definitely more than 100 million silver dollars.
Stocks and options worth tens of millions can only be said to be pocket money slightly more than pocket money, which is nothing.
But luxury cars, sports cars, private jets, etc., in the territory of the Ming Empire, there are extremely few people, and the price is extremely high, it is an absolute status symbol, the rich and powerful outside Xujiazhuang are trying their best to buy a luxury car, even if the price is increased by five times or ten times, not to mention the number of private jets that are less, the father gives five planes, and the value of all together must be more than 10 million silver dollars, and there are countless noble values attached, no matter where they go, they will be looked down upon, and they will be valued and respected. The intangible face value is incalculable.
As for gold, jewelry, and the like, it is not a rare thing, but it also represents the dignity of the Xu family, and the value is also above millions, and the effect of ten miles of red makeup will undoubtedly make women all over the world envious and jealous, and it also gives her, the eldest daughter of the concubine, great attention and respect, if this does not represent father's love, then there is really nothing to represent.
"Daddy, thank you, I can't bear to leave you!"
Xu frowned, threw herself into Xu Yuan's arms, crying pear blossoms with rain, and this is definitely true feelings, is really reluctant, if Xu Yuan wants her not to marry at this time, she will definitely agree without hesitation, with such a good father, even if she doesn't marry, she doesn't care if she is not the so-called queen, she doesn't care, she has a father who cares about her, she is willing to remain single for a lifetime, of course, this is a hypothesis, it is impossible to happen.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, you're almost an adult, maybe you'll have your own children in a few years, there's no need to be so excited."
Xu Yuan kept patting her on the back and comforting her again and again, and it took a while for her to stop sobbing and show an innocent and happy smile.
The next few days.
The entire White Castle is in a state of hustle and bustle, preparing for the upcoming engagement ceremony.
On the second day of the lunar month, the crown prince Zhu Cihong, set out from the capital, with a huge team, came to the harbor city, and sent a large number of gifts and dowries, expressing his sincerity to marry Xu Jiazhuang.
"Father-in-law, this is a gift list, please accept it."
Prince Zhu Cihong, an eighteen-year-old young man, was noble and quite lofty, he respectfully handed the gift list to Xu Yuan's hand, and his attitude of asking to marry the daughter of the Xu family was very sincere.
Xu Yuan nodded, took the gift list, opened it casually and looked at it, and found that they were all ordinary gifts, which may be very rare in the eyes of ordinary people, but in his eyes, all of them together are worth no more than five million silver dollars, which is really too far worse than the dowry he wants to provide.
However, Xu Yuan is not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, in his eyes, the bride price can only represent an attitude, worth about five million, compared to the wealth owned by the royal family today, it is a good attitude, and he has not much to blame, but for the happiness of his daughter, for Zhu Cihong, a quasi-son-in-law, he should still be beaten.
So at the banquet, Xu Yuan said to Zhu Cihong next to him:
"Xiao Zhu, you are the crown prince of the Ming Empire, and you may also be the future emperor, you marry my Xu Yuan's daughter, it is only good for you, there is no harm, and your father likes to be suspicious, uncertain, and likes to engage in some imperial power tricks, your crown prince status is not necessarily very stable, but don't worry, as long as you are good to my daughter and don't do anything to bully her and be sorry for her, your crown prince position is absolutely stable, no one can shake it, of course, if you can do it wholeheartedly, you will only marry one of my daughters in the future, Don't get those messy women into the harem, not only are you the crown prince stable, your father is gone, your emperor's position is also stable, no one can challenge, Xu Jiazhuang is your most solid backing, can help you eliminate some unpleasant enemies, consolidate your rule over the empire, and even provide resources to help you do some big things like reforms, and become a generation of Ming Jun Emperor, it may not be impossible, Xu Jiazhuang also has so many resources to provide, but if you are half-hearted, it is not too good for my daughter, and you can't spoil her alone, That's still it, just keep the ordinary cooperation, the support will not be too big, anyway, you weigh it yourself, think a lot. ”
Hear that.
Zhu Cihong set off a huge wave in his heart, then rolled his eyes and fell into thought.
