"Xiaohua, do you want a lot of dowry?" Maybe

Zhang Erhu was silent for a moment and asked weakly.

"Who doesn't want a dowry when they get married?"

...

It makes sense, who doesn't want a dowry when they get married? What's more, it is the righteous sister of His Majesty the Emperor.

It doesn't seem like a dowry to order a dowry, right?

But the problem is that his family was not very wealthy, and in the past two years at the border, although he has made a lot of contributions, most of the money has been distributed to the people below. He thought that he had saved a few hundred taels of silver, but it didn't seem to be enough at the moment.

"Your Majesty, isn't there a reward for performing martial arts today?" Maybe

"The money hasn't been allocated yet, it's going through the process, and it probably will take some time. Are you going to let Xiaohua wait for you? Besides, that money isn't enough!?"

Inadequate?

Five thousand taels is not enough?

Your mother's family is trying to force me to death?

Zhang Erhu was about to collapse, he originally planned to marry Zhang Erhu home in a beautiful way this time, but how did he know that His Majesty would do this.

I've been calling you brother emperor since I was a child, right?

What's up? Maybe

It's not as sweet as the little flower?

"Erhu, it's not that I want to embarrass you. But if you think about it, Xiaohua's father left early, and her mother took her to the capital alone. If I hadn't met me that year, I am afraid that I would have starved to death outside the city.

The queen likes her and has always treated her as her own sister, she could have lived a life of fine clothes and food in the palace, but she didn't, and asked to leave the palace many times to fend for herself. No, I just ran a zongzi stall outside the city, and I did it for several years.

In the past few years, regardless of cold or summer, morning and evening, all year round, the mother and daughter have worked hard to run a zongzi stall. In the past two years, you have served in the border town, and you are looking forward to the stars and the moon waiting for you to come back. You've finally come back, and seeing that good days are coming, is it possible that you don't plan to give a dowry when you marry a wife?"

"Your Majesty! I'm going to give! It's just, it's just that I didn't..."

"No money? Is a sentence without silver enough? Do you think Xiaohua is really the one who covets glory and wealth? As long as I nodded, the nobles in the capital immediately squeezed their heads and came to the door to ask for marriage. Does she want your money? It's your attitude that you want! The dowry represents the sincerity of your family! What represents is her security after marriage!

Borrow without you! Don't you even want to express this attitude? Don't you even want to show this sincerity? I'm so disappointed in you, how can I trust you with the little flower?" Maybe

......

Sounds reasonable, but how does it seem that something is not quite right?

If you can't get a high dowry, is it a bad attitude?

Is it insincere not to be able to get a high dowry?

I still have to borrow money, but I know a lot of noble children, but the problem is to borrow money for a dowry in order to marry a wife, what is the matter?

"Your Majesty, how much dowry does it cost to marry Xiaohua?"

"At least 10,000 taels, and the meaning is good! One in a million!" Maybe

...

10,000 taels!? Kill him, Zhang Erhu can't take it out.

How much money does he have? If you don't eat or drink, you won't be able to save 10,000 taels in your life!

If there is a difference of 1,800 taels, with his face, he can still raise money by opening his mouth with his classmates, and he will pay it back slowly in the future.

But this fucking is 10,000!

Who the fuck can lend it to him? Besides, even if he lends it to him, what will he pay back in the future?

"What? Too much?" Zhu Youzhen stared at him and asked. Maybe

"Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, so many silver taels, it's really not easy..."

"Don't you know who to borrow from?"

"Yes!"

"How about I give you an idea?"

"I can't ask for it!"

"I have some money to spare now, why don't I lend you some?"

"Huh?" Maybe

Zhang Erhu looked at Zhu Youzhen blankly, the dowry is like this

Gao is what you want, if you can't take it yourself, you have to let me borrow it, and if you can't borrow it, you plan to lend it to me. What kind of medicine is sold in your old man's gourd?

"Haha." Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhang Erhu's constipated expression, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and decided not to tease him anymore. "The matter between you and Xiaohua, I and the queen have seen it all these years, and I won't beat the mandarin duck anyway, this bride price, I will give it for you."

"This..."

It's been a big circle, the emperor, you still have to pay for me, what do you want?

"Erhu, it's fake to let you pay a high bride price, but it's true that I and the queen feel sorry for Xiaohua. I can be regarded as watching you grow up, and your marriage, I will order someone to handle it for you, and I will definitely let you marry Xiaohua into the door! But Xiaohua, this child, has suffered too much.

I don't want to marry you and make her unhappy. If you dare to fail her in the future, don't talk about me, even the queen will not spare you! Do you understand?"

Zhu Youzhen looked at Erhu, his tone was serious and sincere. Maybe

In fact, the queen is not very much in favor of their marriage, in her opinion, with the relationship between her and Zhu Youzhen, there are more people who are willing to marry Li Xiaohua.

It is better to marry Zhang Erhu than to find a well-behaved son of Xun Qi in Beijing, first, she can be taken care of in the capital, and secondly, there is no need to follow Zhang Erhu to suffer outside.

However, Zhu Youzhen strongly supported the marriage of the two.

Because in Zhu Youzhen's view, he can give the material foundation at any time, but the pure love between the two is not something that can be changed casually!

"The last will understand!"

Only then did Zhang Erhu understand His Majesty's intention to say so many words, and replied solemnly.

"There's another important thing for you to see." Zhu Youzhen pointed to the map on the imperial case. "At the end of the year, I will promote you to the commander of Ningxia Town. Within five years, I want you to bring here, here, and here all into the territory of the Ming Dynasty! What I want is absolute rule, if five years doesn't work, then ten years! If it doesn't work in ten years, then twenty years!" Maybe

Zhu Youzhen pointed to four places, Heshuot, Dongchagatai, Erut, and Uszang.

"Your Majesty, these places were originally friendly with the Ming Dynasty, paying tribute every year, and attacking rashly, isn't it..."

"You can find any reason, and I will give you the necessary support!" Then Zhu Youzhen looked at his watch again.

"It's almost six o'clock, you have been in the palace for a day, I guess Xiaohua should be in a hurry, go see her. Recovering these places is not something that can be done in a day or two, and it needs to be considered in the long run."

"Then he will leave."

Zhu Youzhen nodded, and watched Zhang Erhu retreat.

Then he turned around and walked towards Kunning Palace. Maybe

"Long live summoning the Second Tiger?"

"See. I told him that if I wanted to marry Xiaohua, I had to pay a dowry of 10,000 taels of silver, and his face was scared green! Haha~"

"Your Majesty knows how to play tricks on people, Erhu, this kid, is still good."

"What? Hasn't Zitong always been disapproving of their marriage? Why are you boasting about the second tiger again?"

"It's easy to get priceless treasures, and it's rare to have a lover. Erhu is also infatuated with Xiaohua, unlike some people, who can't wait to marry all the women in the world home before they give up."

Zhou Yufeng sighed and said faintly.
