Chapter 179 179, crying poor

On this day, Xiao Qiyu secretly summoned the military advisor Ji Zhengchun. In order to pay for the betrothal gift, in recent days, he had asked the military advisor to secretly check the movable property in his name.

"Your Highness, in addition to having more than ten acres of Susok farmland, a village, and seven or eight shops, you really can't find a few particularly valuable items. This betrothal gift, alas..."

Military Master Ji shook his head, "It's difficult to handle!"

The main reason was that Xiao Qiyu was not good at amassing money. All the salary given by the court had been spent on military affairs over the years. So when the betrothal gift list came out, Military Advisor Ji went through all the belongings and could not take it.

How much cash is issued.

"If it doesn't work out, just sell those few acres of Susukino!"

Xiao Qiyu sighed lightly. He had never thought about getting a wife before, so he spent all his monthly salary.

I did check out some shops, but the money they produced had to be put to use every month, and they could be spent every month, so there was no cash at all.

To put it bluntly, he is an out-and-out pauper. Those who are willing to follow him are people who sincerely want to protect their country and do practical things. Otherwise, who would be willing to work with such a master who has no future (money).

"Your Majesty, the new year is coming, and the wheat in the fields has all sprouted. It is not cost-effective to sell it now. The important thing is that before the New Year, it will be a big loss if you can't sell it at a good price. If you have to sell it, the expenses of the mansion will be tight... You forgot

Are you there? You are raising some orphans with that land... Without the land and food, how will you be able to support them..."

Those children were all orphans in the military.

Hearing this, Xiao Qiyu touched his forehead, feeling a little helpless.

A penny can stump a heroic man, and he lacks more than just a penny - not that he is not good at business, but that he has too many people to support.

At that time, Mu Yunjiang was outside the house, and he realized what this guy was worried about these days. It turned out that the entire Jingbei Palace was so poor.

"Let's do this. Let's sell half of the land first. The wedding must be arranged. Later, I will think of ways to fill the hole..."

He still decided to sell the land, otherwise what else would happen to the wedding?

Ji Zhengchun saw this and sighed softly. He immediately took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and said, "Your Highness, it's better not to sell the fields. This is a gift we raised for you in private. Everyone who has followed you will

, all raised a little bit.

"I don't have much money, so it may not be enough. After all, this is a wedding gifted by the emperor. If the betrothal gift is simple, people may laugh at you... But I think there won't be many people attending your wedding. It would be better if you save it.

, or you can get through this..."

Xiao Qiyu looked at it but frowned and shouted: "Everyone's life is very tight, how can I ask you to raise money for me? No, no, no, you can take it back. If it doesn't work, just sell the village that my great-grandmother rewarded.

Come on..."

"That won't work, Your Highness, the Empress Dowager's Zhuangzi represents grace. As long as the Empress Dowager is still here, you can't touch Zhuangzi's thoughts..."

Ji Zhengchun immediately rejected it.

"The village has always been empty, and we have to spend manpower and financial resources to take care of it..." Xiao Qiyu said: "Although there are a few orphans raised there, the orphans can be raised in the palace. Anyway, there are many empty houses here. I still have

You can train them yourself.”

Mu Yunjiang couldn't listen anymore and immediately opened the door and walked in.

Ji Zhengchun, Asuo and Asu in the room were all startled.

Xiao Qiyu also tensed up and hurriedly came up to greet him:

"Ajaan, why are you here?"

"Commander Ji, please go out! Regarding the betrothal gift, His Highness and I will discuss it in detail before making a decision. Don't worry, it can be solved."

Mu Yunjiang sent the person away.

Xiao Qiyu looked slightly uncomfortable. She saw his embarrassment, and his face was a little tarnished. "Well, I will find a way to deal with the betrothal gift. But I may not be able to give you a very beautiful wedding.

"

Mu Yunjiang walked over and first looked at the banknotes left by Ji Zhengchun. They were not many, more than two thousand taels, but this was already a big gift for his poor subordinates.

"It turns out that you have been worrying about this matter these past few days. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have plenty of money..." She turned to look at him: "But I can't give it to you. As for the land and the village, I can't sell it.

Naturally, you can't take the money from the military advisors and the others. If you want to marry me in a glamorous way, I'll teach you a way..."

At the end of the sentence, she suddenly smiled mysteriously, her smart eyes shining brightly.

"What are you thinking?"

This little clever guy is so smart.

The method she came up with will definitely work.

"If the land is sold, you can't raise those orphans, right? Therefore, the land cannot be sold; if Zhuangzi sells it, it will be a disgrace to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager cannot be offended; if you take the money from the military counselors,

, it means you are supported by many people,

It will make the emperor feel jealous... Naturally, I can't give you my money now. It's hard to say that I am Jiang Ji's young master. So right now, the only thing you can do is to delay the appointment, and then,

Ask someone to come to the emperor to do something..."

"What's up?"

Mu Yunjiang's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said two words:

"Crying poor."

Ten days later.

In the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Liang Xiao Li was reviewing the memorial. President Gao Huan came to report: "Your Majesty, Master Gu of the Ministry of Rites has asked to see you. He said that there is something wrong with the betrothal gift list of His Highness Prince Jingbei, and I am here to ask you to make a decision."

When Liang Emperor Xiao Li heard this, he put down his ink pen and called the person in.

Master Gutong of the Ministry of Rites came in and bowed, holding the betrothal gift list in his hand, and immediately complained: "Your Majesty, King Jingbei, gave me a betrothal gift list yesterday. I looked at it with disgrace, so I went to ask about it today.

Q, there is really no other way and I have to disturb the emperor's peace.

"This gift list...is worse than ordinary people, but the bride-to-be actually agreed..."

Emperor Liang looked at Mr. Gu's bitter melon-like face, and a little curiosity arose in his heart:

"Gao Huan, get the gift list."

Gao Huan immediately went to get it and presented it to him.

When Emperor Liang saw it, he frowned. It was too simple. He was more frugal than ordinary people...

But looking at the handwriting on the gift slip, the silk was beautiful and clear, and it seemed to be written by a woman. He guessed that it was written by Mu Yunjiang, and the handwriting was really dignified and elegant.

"You asked King Jingbei about this gift list, what did he say?" Emperor Liang asked.

"His Royal Highness said that the palace has nothing of value, so the princess-to-be has said: Keep everything simple and cannot let the palace borrow money just to get married. Therefore, the princess-to-be drafted the betrothal gift list.

"The princess-to-be said that only in this way, the Prince of Jingbei's palace would not be unable to uncover the truth after getting married. Otherwise, when she gets married, she would have to fill the hole in the palace with her own dowry.

"The princess-to-be also said: If this is the case, then she will not marry for the time being. She will wait until the prince saves more money before marrying. Anyway, she is still young and is not in a hurry to marry..."

Master Gutong touched his forehead and glanced carefully at the emperor, who had an inscrutable look on his face:

"His Royal Highness also gave a list of expenses in the mansion, which shows that the mansion really doesn't have much money. He married the princess in order to live a real life. So he can only do it like this... But when this kind of list is issued, the minister will

It’s difficult...

"Your Majesty, if this kind of betrothal gift list is issued like this, the Jingbei Palace and the Great Liang royal family will definitely be laughed at by everyone in the world..."

See you tomorrow.
