"What!?" Zhu

Zhang Dahai suddenly stood up from the chair, and the boss with his mouth open couldn't believe his ears.

Even Zhang Wang, who was on the side, lost the sense of happiness he had just now, and said to Zhang Erhu with trembling lips:

"Erhu, mother heard me right, you just said how much dowry Your Majesty wants to give?"

"Ten thousand and one taels..."

When Zhang Dahai was sure that he had heard correctly, he was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he hurriedly held on to the corner of the table so as not to fall to the ground.

And Zhang Wang collapsed directly on the chair, looking at Zhang Erhu with his eyes, as if he didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty said that he and the queen mother have always treated Xiaohua as a sister and don't want Xiaohua to be wronged. So if you want to marry Xiaohua, you have to come up with 10,000 taels of dowry money, and the rest will be counted separately." Zhu

"But, but—" Zhang Dahai's face turned gloomy, and his voice trembled. We can't afford that much money!"

"That's what I told Your Majesty."

"What did Your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty said that he knew that I had no money, so he would pay for it."

"Huh?"

"He also said that he should give us the living expenses of the younger two."

"Huh?" Zhu

The two were immersed in Zhang Erhu's words and didn't react for a long time.

"Erhu, what Your Majesty means is that he will take 10,000 taels of silver as a dowry for you. I don't plan to let you return it after that?"

"Yes!"

"You boy!" Zhang Dahai slapped him on the back of the head. "Who did you learn to talk to!?"

Even Zhang Wang, who had always doted on him, looked at him angrily, and seemed to be eager to join in beating him.

"Before I came back, I had already told Xiaohua and her mother about it, and my aunt also promised to marry Xiaohua to me." Zhang Erhu rubbed his head and looked at his father and mother with a smile, not to mention how beautiful it was.

"Really?" Zhang Wang was overjoyed, but then frowned again. "Not lying?" Zhu

"I'm not lying, Xiaohua and her mother said, please go to the city tomorrow, and discuss the marriage of the two of us at that time."

"Yes! Okay!" Zhang Dahai rubbed his hands back and forth, obviously delighted to the extreme.

"Did you say anything else?"

"Nope. He said that he had something to say with you."

"That's right, we have to Zhang Luo to do this. By the way, when will you leave when you return to Beijing this time?"

"Your Majesty has given me permission to marry before leaving. By the way, when will my sister come back?"

"I don't know, but I've already sent a message this morning, and I think it's only a day or two." Zhu

"Okay, I'll go into the city tomorrow to buy some gifts for my eldest nephew."

Zhang Erhu came back late yesterday, and he was tired all the way, so he didn't have time to talk to his father and mother before he fell asleep.

At this time, the three of them sat in the hall and talked by the light until late at night before falling asleep.

The two asked about their life in the border town from time to time, trying to understand their son's living environment, but Zhang Erhu only picked it up and deliberately concealed some dangerous experiences, so that they could still feel the immersive danger from time to time.

Early the next morning, the family of three entered the city early.

They first went to the bazaar, bought a lot of things, and then went straight to Li Xiaohua's house.

Li Xiaohu's mother, Li Zhao, also seemed to be waiting for their arrival, rarely without a stall, and made tea. Zhu

"Little flower girl, I haven't seen you for a while." As soon as Zhang Wangshi saw his face, he affectionately took Li Zhao's hand and smiled.

"Isn't it, I haven't seen you in almost a month." Li Zhao also replied with a smile, and beckoned the three of them to sit down in the room.

It was not the first time that Li Zhao and Zhang Erhu came, but Zhang Dahai came to the door for the first time.

He looked at the environment inside the house, the house was not big, and even because it was in the city, it was slightly inferior to their house.

But as soon as he entered the house, he found that although the house was small, it was unusually clean and tidy, whether it was the roof or the simple furniture in the house, it showed that the owner of the house was a quick and hardworking man.

Zhang Dahai is very happy, whether it is Li Zhao or Li Xiaohua, they are both diligent people.

They came from tenant backgrounds, and their standards for marrying wives seemed to be a little more realistic than those of the vassal and elegant literati. Zhu

"Xiaohua's mother, look at these two children, they grew up together, and in a more literate way, they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. In addition, the age is not young, and it is time to talk about marriage. This time, my father and I are here to discuss with you and see what to do next. Take a look at the eight characters and set a certain wedding date.

In addition, you are from Shaanxi, and the rules may be different from those in Beijing, so you can mention any requirements."

At this time, Zhang Wang's gave full play to the potential of the elite in her village's head intelligence station, and when she spoke, it was a set.

"I want to take a look, but we don't have any special customs in Shaanxi, and when we get to the capital, we naturally have to follow the customs."

"It's easy to talk about this, I'll also tell you about Erhu's birthday, you take the time to find a gentleman to take a look, and then let's sit together and discuss it, and see which day is better."

"Okay! That's it!"

The two held hands, talked and laughed, and decided the marriage of Zhang Erhu and Li Xiaohua. Zhu

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Who?" Li Zhao asked outside.

"The palace is here, please open the door!"

"Oh?"

Not to mention the Li Zhao family, several other people also hurriedly stood up from their chairs, guessing what the people in the palace were doing at this moment.

"Who are you?" Li Zhao stood at the door and asked respectfully.

"Little Ma Yule, who is on an errand in the palace, came this time to preach to Zhang Erhu at the behest of Wang Chengen." Zhu

"Grandpa Ma, please speak."

"You don't have to worry about getting married this time, I will order the Ministry of Rites to handle it, and you just stay at home."

Yes?

As soon as Ma Gonggong's words fell, several people were stunned.

Your Majesty means this, let the Ministry of Rites handle it, and we will be parents and fathers, so there will be nothing to do?

"Grandpa Xie!"

"You're welcome, General Zhang, give me a copy of the birthdays of the two of you. I'm going to go back and get back to my life, so I won't stay here much today, I'll see you another day." Zhu

"Father-in-law walks slowly."

Zhang Erhu sent Ma Yule away, and then returned to the house and sat down, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to speak.

Just now I was discussing with great interest how to do it, but at this point, I don't even let it go?

But the marriage of his own child was personally ordered by His Majesty and let the Ministry of Rites handle it, so it is really an extremely glorious thing to say.

"Second Tiger Lady, there is something to do, I think it's better to talk about it."

"Little Flower Girl, what are you polite to me, just say anything directly?"

"I'm thinking about whether I can buy a house for the little couple in the city. I have saved some silver by buying zongzi in the past few years, and I will take it out when the time comes. Let's buy them a yard together, and it's better than running out of the city all day. You said no?" Zhu

"Then how can you pay for it, our man will pay for it."

"That's not going to work, I'm going to give at least half of it."

The two were arguing over the money, and there was another knock on the door outside.

It was a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman.

As soon as he came in, after saluting everyone, he fixed his eyes on Zhang Erhu.

"General Zhang, I have been ordered by the head to take you to see the house."
