After rebirth, she was forced to marry by the sickly prince.

179 Chapter 179, crying poor

On this day, Xiao Qiyu secretly summoned the military adviser Ji Zhengchun. For the dowry, in the past few days, he had the military adviser secretly inspect the movable property under his name.

"Your Highness, besides more than a dozen acres of Susukida, a village, and seven or eight shops, you really can't find a few particularly valuable items. This betrothal gift, alas..."

Junji Ji shook his head, it's difficult!

The main reason is that Xiao Qiyu is not good at collecting money. The salary given by the imperial court has been spent on military affairs by him in these years, so that when the betrothal gift was issued, all the family belongings were distributed by Ji Junshi, but he couldn't get it. How much cash to pay.

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

Xiao Qiyu sighed lightly, before, he never thought of getting married, so he spent all his monthly salary.

I did set up some shops, but the money produced there has to be used every month, and every month can be spent to the bottom of the sky, and there is no money at all.

To put it bluntly, he is an out-and-out pauper, and those who are willing to follow him are those who sincerely want to defend their home and country and do practical things, otherwise, who would want to be with such a master with no future (money) future.

"My lord, the new year is approaching, and the wheat in the fields has sprouted. It's not worth selling now. The important thing is that before the Chinese New Year, you can't sell at a good price. It's too bad. If you have to sell, the government's expenses may be tight... You forgot Is it? You are raising some orphans with those lands...there is no land, no food, then how will you support them..."

Those children are all orphans in the army.

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

A penny is hard for a hero, and he lacks more than 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 only then did he know what this guy was worrying about these days. It turned out that the entire Jingbei Palace was so poor.

"How about this, let's sell half of the field first, the marriage must be done, later, I will think of a way to fill the hole..."

He still decided to sell the field, otherwise what else could this wedding do?
Ji Zhengchun saw it, sighed slightly, and immediately took out a stack of bank notes from his arms, and said: "Your Highness, it is better not to sell the field. This is a private gift we raised for you. All people who have been with you , have raised a little bit.

"There's not much money, maybe it's not enough. After all, this is a wedding gift from the emperor. If the dowry is poorly prepared, people may laugh at it... But come to think of it, your wedding will not be attended by many people. If you save it , or can survive this hurdle..."

Xiao Qiyu looked at it, but frowned and shouted: "Everyone is living a tight life, how can I ask you to chip in for me? No, no, you can take it back. If it is really impossible, sell the Zhuangzi that the great-grandmother rewarded Alright..."

"That won't work, Your Highness, the empress dowager's Zhuangzi represents grace, as long as the empress dowager is still around, you can't move this Zhuangzi's mind..."

Ji Zhengchun immediately dismissed it.

"That Zhuangzi has been empty all the time, and we have to spend manpower and money to take care of it..." Xiao Qiyu said: "Although there are a few orphans raised there, orphans can be raised in the palace. Anyway, there are many empty houses here. I still You can practice them yourself."

Mu Yunjiang couldn't take it anymore, and immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

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

Xiao Qiyu's expression also tightened, and he hurriedly greeted him:
"Ajaan, why are you here?"

"Ji Junjun, you go out! Regarding the dowry, I will discuss it with His Highness before making a decision. Don't worry, it can be resolved."

Mu Yunjiang sent them out.

Xiao Qiyu looked a little uncomfortable, she saw her embarrassment, and she looked a little embarrassed, "Well, I will think about the dowry. That is, I may not be able to give you a very beautiful wedding. "

Mu Yunjiang walked over and looked through the silver notes left by Ji Zhengchun. They were not many, more than 2000 taels, but this was already a big gift for his poor subordinates.

"So, you've been worrying about this for the 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 transfer it to you, and I can't sell the land and the village. Of course, you can't take the money from the military division and others. If you want to marry me in a grand manner, I will teach you a way..."

At the end, she suddenly smiled mysteriously, and her agile eyes were shining brightly.

"What are you thinking about?"

This little ghost is smart.

Her idea must have worked.

"If the field is sold, you can't raise those orphans, right, so you can't sell the land; if Zhuangzi sells it, it's to save the Empress Dowager's face, and the Empress Dowager cannot be offended; if you take the money from the military division and others , it means that you are supported by many people, which will make the emperor feel jealous... 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 The thing is, delaying the appointment, and then, let people go to the emperor to do something..."

"what's up?"

Mu Yunjiang's eyes flashed, and he uttered two words with a smile:
"Cry poor."

*
ten days later.

In the imperial study room, Liang Emperor Xiao Li was approving the memorial, when Gao Huan, the President of Ouchi, came to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Gu of the Ministry of Rites asked for an audience, saying that there is something wrong with the betrothal list of His Highness King Jingbei, and I am here to ask you to make a decision."

Upon hearing this, Liang Emperor Xiao Li put down his ink brush and let people in.

Mr. Gu Tong from the Ministry of Rites came in and saluted, holding the betrothal gift slip in his hand, he immediately complained: "Your Majesty, King Jingbei, gave you a betrothal gift slip yesterday, and I don't like it, so I went to ask about it today." Ask, there is really no other way, I have no choice but to disturb the emperor's peace.

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

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

"Gao Huan, fetch the gift list."

Gao Huan immediately went to fetch it and presented it.

Emperor Liang frowned when he saw it, it was too simple, even simpler than ordinary people...

But looking at the handwriting on the gift list, the silk is beautiful and elegant, as if it was written by a woman, he guessed that it was written by Mu Yunjiang, and the handwriting is really dignified and majestic.

"You take this gift list and ask King Jingbei, what does he say?" Emperor Liang asked.

"Your Highness said that the palace has no valuables, so the queen concubine explained: keep everything simple, and you can't ask the palace to borrow money just to get married, so this betrothal gift was drafted by the queen concubine.

"The princess-to-be said that only in this way, the Jingbei Palace will not be in trouble after getting married, otherwise, when she gets married, she will have to fill the holes in the Palace with her dowry.

"The prospective princess also said: If this is the case, then she will not marry for the time being. She will marry after the prince saves more money. Anyway, she is still young, so she is not in a hurry to marry..."

Master Gu Tong touched his forehead, and carefully glanced at the unpredictable emperor:

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

"Your Majesty, if this kind of betrothal gift is issued like this, the Jingbei Prince's Mansion, as well as my Great Liang royal family, will definitely be laughed at by the world..."

　See you tomorrow.
