Chapter 64: I am not filial to the decree!
Seeing the two brothers crying, Zhao Hao didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The old man glanced at the three people with disgust, and then went back to his house to rest. After all, he had just eaten breakfast and was dragged to the palace for a meal by the emperor. Although it was close to noon at that time, he had to eat in such a short time.
, still a bit boring.
As a result, there were only three people left at the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion.
Seeing that the two brothers were eager to prove their innocence, Zhao Hao couldn't help but grin: "Don't worry! How could I doubt you? The emperor has told me that he has confiscated all our 120,000 gold!"
Meng Longtang breathed a sigh of relief and said bitterly: "I don't understand. Why should the money our three brothers earned with their own abilities be confiscated from us? I think my grandfather would be reluctant to change his clothes all year round.
Lao Zhou and I were eating the soup pot and singing songs. Just when we wanted to honor grandpa, the emperor took the money away!"
Zhou Jiufeng said heartbrokenly: "We are being unfilial as ordered!"
Zhao Hao stopped in Bengbu and said: "Get out of here! Are you here because you are not filial? The emperor said that he will not touch the money. Ten thousand gold will be transferred to your family account through the Ministry of Household Affairs. Every year, one hundred gold will be allocated. I will also pay you back."
Thirty thousand gold will be given directly to the old man. But don't think about it, all of it will be donated as a pension."
"Um?"
"Um?"
The two brothers were stunned for a moment and were immediately overjoyed.
With his temperament as an old man, he is determined to spend thirty thousand gold to support the military families.
Being able to leave 10,000 yuan is really pretty good.
Although it will be distributed over a hundred years, one hundred gold is enough for the family to live a prosperous life.
only……
Meng Longtang was silent for a while and asked: "So, if we want to spend money in the future, we still have to ask the old man at home?"
Zhou Jiufeng sighed: "Isn't that the same as nothing?"
Zhao Hao couldn't help but grin. He didn't know what was going on with other powerful families, but the two old generals of the Meng family and the Zhou family were definitely hamsters. They would not spend any money they could not spend, and would just wait for their own death.
Finally, he can let his useless grandson live a prosperous life.
If the emperor arranged this ten thousand gold, they would definitely shed tears of gratitude.
But what about this...
Don't worry about me!
Doesn’t this damn girl have to spend my money when she goes out to play?
After a full circle of operations, I was so busy that I didn't get a dime in my pocket, and my reputation was lost to the emperor.
Zhao Hao shook his head: "Stop squatting, the house said, I will ask the old man for some money again! In short, if you follow Brother Ritian, you will definitely not go hungry."
Hearing what he said, the two brothers could only stand up and followed them into the house dejectedly.
When they arrived at the main room, the black-faced man and Bai Xiu were looking at a table full of books.
Zhao Hao walked up to it and found that there were all kinds of luxury goods listed on it, and the couple were enthusiastic about choosing.
Often there are books of the same type, and the couple will only tick the most expensive ones.
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask.
The black-faced man chuckled and said, "What a betrothal gift!"
Zhao Hao's mouth twitched: "What kind of family conditions do you dare to choose such expensive things? This is too much to eat with four dishes and one soup. Do you want to save one dish for yourself?"
"fart!"
The black-faced man laughed and scolded: "How can we, a big government official in our town, be short of this little money? If we don't choose the betrothal gift well, it will be in vain for people to laugh at us!"
Zhao Hao pointed to the book and asked: "A pair of jade bracelets worth one thousand gold? Where did we get so much money?"
The black-faced man suddenly became even more proud. He put his arms around Zhao Hao's neck and lowered his voice and said, "Don't you know this? Just now, the emperor sent Eunuch Cao to send us back. Eunuch Cao has already said that the two of us will kiss each other."
When getting married, there must be pomp and ceremony.
But, the emperor knew that our family had donated almost all the money, so he allocated 40,000 gold from his own treasury, allowing us to spend as much as we can. If we spend it, it will be for the sake of the Zhenguo Mansion and the royal family. He can't say anything.
Speaking of this, why don’t I go to death?
Look! Of these 40,000 gold, I won’t even leave a single golden bean to the emperor!”
Zhao Hao: "..."
He hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't bear to tell him the truth.
Just go ahead and buy it. You don’t even want to keep a single piece of the five thousand gold that belongs to you!
You, you, you...don't you think the number 40,000 gold sounds a bit familiar?
The old emperor is really good at this. He spends your money and lets you remember his good deeds.
As for the effect, you can tell by looking at the corners of the black-faced man's mouth that extend from his ears.
The father and son were talking next to each other, and Bai Xiu was a little dissatisfied: "Don't talk about what is available and what is not available, come and pick things with me quickly. This wedding is in accordance with the specifications for the canonization of a crown princess.
Yes, but you will be laughed at by all the civil and military officials!"
"What the hell?"
Zhao Hao was shocked: "What are the specifications for conferring a crown princess? I, a little prince consort, follow the specifications of a crown princess? Who did you listen to?"
Bai Xiu said with a smile: "After we came back, Eunuch Cao organized the whole city to publish the list. Now I guess everyone in Kyoto knows about it!"
Zhao Hao: "..."
Seeing that his expression was different, Bai Xiu couldn't help comforting him: "Hao'er, don't put too much pressure on me. The specifications are indeed a bit extravagant, but you are worthy of it, Hao'er! Now you are the star of Dahuang Wenqu, how can you not compare to it?"
The last Crown Princess?"
Zhao Hao's mouth twitched: "Dahuang Wenquxing? Who said this?"
Bai Xiu was even more proud: "Your Majesty...oh no! It's your father now, your father said so!"
Zhao Hao: "..."
The more Bai Xiu talked, the happier he became: "Only your two poems in the Qianqing Palace have been announced along with the list. If my son is not worthy of the title of Dahuang Wenquxing, then who is worthy of it?"
Zhao Hao: "..."
How about being happy?
Your son was roasted on the fire, praised and killed, and you still couldn't be happy about it.
Now that the desert country doesn't even have a prince, you just treat a prince consort according to the standard of canonizing a prince?
The generals will definitely have no objection, but what do you want the civil servants to think?
Still Dahuang Wenquxing?
What do you want the literati from the wilderness to think? What do you want the literati from other countries to think?
During this exchange between Huang and Qi, Huang Country has just managed to get into the back door of the mainstream cultural circle. You are going to create a "Da Huang Literary Star" for me. Are you going to hang me up and use me as a target for other countries?
This move is undoubtedly equivalent to tying oneself up to compose poetry.
But the problem is...I have almost copied all the love poems!
What?
Let's copy "sitting and watching the fishermen, only envying the fish", and come up with a wave of depression and lack of ambition at the wrong time?
no!
This emperor is an old yinbi.
I have to think of a solution quickly.
Seeing the couple happily choosing the betrothal gifts, Zhao Hao could only sigh.
A family of four.
The old man only cares about the brotherly love and the righteousness between king and subject, and wants to raise his grandson to a loser.
Dad looks quite silly, but he is actually quite silly.
I read a lot of books, but actually my heart is very simple.
It's just me... who is deliberately trying to build a career secretly while walking on thin ice.
It’s really difficult!
At this time, Meng Longtang reminded in a low voice: "Brother Ritian, we are here to ask for money!"
Zhou Jiufeng echoed: "Yes! I want money!"
"well……"
Zhao Hao shook his head helplessly. Now he could only ask for money. If he wanted to produce perfume in large quantities, he would definitely not be short of money.
So he glanced at the old man who seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, but in fact he was listening to his son and daughter-in-law's selection of dowry gifts, and he began to think about how to speak.
But at this moment.
He suddenly felt a surge in his chest.
I closed my eyes and saw that the second star started to twinkle at some point!
He couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
He was devastated by being tricked time and time again by the old emperor.
Now, finally there is good news!
The first Wenxing brought him extraordinary memory and keen perception.
Chapter completed!
