"Because I agreed." Minghua grinned at his mother, grabbed her hand and said, "Xu Xian is very good, and his family is simple. I won't be angry with the messy relatives when I get married.
Moreover, Wu Wu revealed to me privately that Xu Xian has made a great contribution this time, and he should be given a title and a mansion, and he is not poor."
The eldest princess scolded her with her eyes: "How could you agree to such a thing casually! Didn't you know you were going to ask me about it?"
"Mom, Xu Xian has been robbed by many people. Besides, he won the jackpot in a game and asked for a marriage. If I don't agree, I won't give Wu Wu face."
The eldest princess resented the indifference of steel: "You only care about other people's face and don't think about your own happiness!"
Minghua shrugged: "Wuwu can still wrong me. Besides, Xu Xian and I share the same goals. Regardless of family background, I think he is the best candidate.
What's more, you don't know, mother, that the prince of Daxia wanted to marry me when he saw that I had a good relationship with Wuwu. He is eyeing me now, so why don't I take advantage of this to get married first?
Do you want your daughter to marry in Daxia and not see her again for several years?"
The eldest princess said in surprise: "Prince Daxia wants to marry you? Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I didn't know that before. I only found out when I went to the palace this time that Xu Xian asked to marry me, and he came out to oppose it. I was so scared that I agreed to Xu Xian immediately."
The eldest princess looked at her as if she were a fool: "Where have you read all the books you have read for so many years?
Although I don't want you to marry far away, she is still a princess after all. Xu Xian is very likely to succeed the emperor, and you will be the queen! Silly girl.
The king of Daxia has strong soldiers and horses, and the territory is vast. You don’t have to endure hardships when you go. Your father and I can visit you at any time, and we won’t never see you again.”
The eldest princess clutched her chest in great pain. Why did she raise her daughter so carefully? Wasn't it just so that she could marry well and marry well?
If you don't want to be a good princess, you want to be the wife of a minister. Even if you really give Xu Xian a title, the title won't be much higher, and it won't reward you with much wealth.
After she got married, she had to endure a little bit of hardship to accumulate. When her children were born in the future, she didn't have much financial resources, so how could she raise them well?
This silly girl doesn't even think about it!
"No, it would be uncomfortable to be a queen eating beef and mutton every day. I don't want to leave Ling'an, even if I were the emperor!" Minghua snorted and lay down, turned over and turned his back to the elder.
Princess.
The eldest princess gritted her teeth with hatred: "You...have you ever thought that Xu Xian can support you?
Have you calculated how much your food and clothing expenses are?"
Minghua said dullly: "Then mother should prepare more dowry for me. His family doesn't have it, but our family does."
The eldest princess was so angry that she almost vomited blood: "Then you might as well make him your son-in-law!"
Minghua snorted: "Then sister-in-law must not want to beat me to death."
The eldest princess was older, she was already thirty when she gave birth to Minghua, and Minghua had a brother who was ten years older than her.
My elder brother was also ambitious, so he took his sister-in-law and nephew to work abroad, without relying on the family's favor.
But if her mother dares to get her a son-in-law, what will happen? It’s not like she has no brothers.
"You know, the extra dowry for you is not from the family. Why should I bring so much to him if he doesn't want to be his son-in-law?"
Of course the eldest princess was not reluctant to give her daughter. In fact, the dowry she prepared for Minghua was very rich, at least eight hundred dollars.
But this also needs to match the betrothal gift given by the other party. It won't be like getting a dowry of one or two hundred dollars, but their dowry is several hundred dollars. What does that look like? Isn't that a joke?
Of course, she won't ask for the bride price. She will definitely let Minghua bring it along with the dowry, but she has to show her face.
How could the girl she raised so carefully marry a poor boy who couldn't afford a decent bride price!
"Anyway, I have already promised. If you don't want me to marry you, just go and tell Uncle Fifteen and ask him not to marry me."
Minghua closed his eyes: "I'm going to sleep."
The eldest princess wanted to give her a good lesson, but she couldn't bear to give her a lesson after thinking that she had just escaped from hell.
The eldest princess had no choice but to discuss it with her husband.
The two of them had just discussed how to tell the regent that this marriage was inappropriate and ask him not to grant the marriage.
The steward came to report that the imperial edict had arrived.
The eldest princess looked angry: "You really gave me a marriage at the age of fifteen without consulting me!"
The prince-in-law advised: "Quit the fire first. Once the imperial edict comes, you can't resist it. Let's discuss what happens next slowly. It's not like you can't change the edict once it's been given."
The eldest princess also knew Ye Shang's temper, but she would not resist the decree. This would be tantamount to going against Ye Sang and humiliating him.
The eldest princess reluctantly accepted the edict, which was written to grant a marriage between Princess Minghua and Bo Anding.
Did he really give Xu Xian an Andingbo?
The eldest princess' inner complaint was alleviated by two points. Is it true that Xu Xianzhen was given a title just so that Minghua could marry?
After doing this, wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to go to Ye Pai's place to cause trouble again?
The eldest princess is a little depressed. It doesn't matter if she loses her temper, or if she doesn't.
One daughter seemed to have taken a liking to the other person, and she agreed immediately.
A regent and Princess Yunwu may have really thought that he was a good match for Minghua, so they gave him a title to match Minghua.
As a mother, she seems to have no right to object.
"Go and call Xu Xian. I want to see carefully what he is capable of and how he can coax Minghua."
Xu Xian was really poor. His family came from the countryside and the population was quite simple. He was the only child in his parents' life, so they frugally sent him to school.
This child is also a good reader. He read all the way and the whole house was buzzing with his reading.
If he gets good grades in the future, the local government will give him some subsidies, but they are limited. When he gets to Ling'an, he will get some rewards if he gets the top prize, and all these rewards are reserved for his daughter-in-law.
But compared with the eldest princess's mansion, the daughter-in-law's income is really just a few pocket coins.
The eldest princess called someone over and asked him about his family's wealth.
His face turned black with anger: "You want to marry our Minghua, how do you have the courage to ask for marriage?"
Xu Xian said seriously: "Wan Sheng loves Princess Minghua. He will treat her well all his life, pamper her, love her, and not let her suffer any grievances. Although he may not be able to give her the best materially, he will try his best to satisfy her.
her needs.
Everything for Wansheng is taken care of by Princess Minghua. Wansheng eats and drinks at home, which costs almost nothing for a month. All his salary is given to Princess Minghua.
I was born late and still had some connections among the literati, so my calligraphy and paintings could be sold for some money.
I also thought about using the little possessions I had to buy two shops and make a living.
Wansheng also has some cooking skills and can prepare food for Princess Minghua, and Wansheng will never take concubines in the future.
Princess, please feel free to hand over Princess Minghua to Wansheng. Although she may not be able to give her the best materially, it will definitely make her happy and will never disappoint her heart of not despising Wansheng today."
Xu Xian said and knelt down.
The eldest princess rolled her eyes, Xu Xian said something nice and said a lot.
But to sum it up, although I have no money, I will be good to her.
