famous eldest daughter

Chapter 438 Conditions
Listening to Xiao Yu's words, Gongsun Mu unconsciously thought that Xiao Yu was testing his daughter's dowry.

Deep down in my heart, I couldn't help but feel more and more contempt and ridicule.

"My little girl's dowry has indeed been prepared. With the strength of the minister's mansion, Shili Hongzhuang, it is no longer a matter of course. How much is Gu Yuqing's dowry? Since my little girl can be called a sister, I dare not say that there are more than her. Double that, it’s not a problem.”

Seeing the proud look on Gongsun Mu's face, Xiao Yu's eyes moved slightly, flashing with a cold light of excitement, like a cheetah catching delicious food.

"General Gongsun's words, for some reason, suddenly reminded me of Lu Jiuzheng. On the day Lu Jiuzheng was beheaded, the people were furious because he used to plunder the people's wealth. I heard that he was almost rotten by rotten leaves before he even reached the execution ground. The eggs were smashed to death."

As he spoke, Xiao Yu paused, with a kind of chilling calmness, and laughed a few times, "Of course, I don't mean that General Gongsun, like Lu Jiuzheng, plunders the people's wealth. General Gongsun is our court." General Hussar, he has passed tens of thousands of military supplies, how can you see the wealth of the people?"

Gongsun Mu was told by him that he was holding a gun and a stick. His face turned green and red, his forehead and vest were covered with cold sweat, and he kept looking at the emperor out of the corner of his eye.

The emperor rested his chin on one hand, watching his son's sharp-tongued battle against Gongsun Mu with admiration.

While appreciating it, I shook my head inwardly. It's such a pity... Tsk tsk, if he was willing to put a little more effort into his ability and put some effort into government affairs, why would I be so melancholy?

"However, military supplies, in the final analysis, still come from the people." Xiao Yu added faintly.

Gongsun Mu shook his baggy eyelids and did not dare to look at the emperor again, but his years of involvement in official circles were not in vain. He took a deep breath and said: "If the Haoying family cannot even afford a decent dowry, This is a disgrace to the court."

Face is the most important thing for the emperor. If the daughter of a minister of the court comes out of the cabinet, the dowry will be shabby, and the face of the court will not be good-looking!

I thought it was a scheming statement, but as soon as the words fell, the emperor who had always been silent suddenly opened his mouth and added: "I went to sit with the Queen Mother a few days ago to listen to the Queen Mother's wishes, no matter what Gu Zhen arranged for Gu Yuqing Such a dowry, but she wants to buy another dowry for Gu Yuqing just like marrying her granddaughter, which must be richer and more expensive than the one prepared by Gu Zhen."

The emperor took his time and said, "I was still laughing at that time, saying that when Yu'er married Gu Yuqing, we were marrying a wife, not a daughter. But the Queen Mother refused to listen and said that Gu Yuqing was a gift from her grandson's daughter-in-law. , she prepared it separately, but this dowry is to save Gu Suyan’s face. Tell me, here and there, I don’t know how much the Queen Mother will have to spend on Gu Yuqing to be satisfied. "

They were clearly complaining, but they were said with joy.

When Xiao Yu heard this, his eyes immediately burst out with bright light, "Father, are you serious about what you said?" As he said this, he twitched his eyebrows and winked.

Are you telling lies to Gongsun Mu on purpose, or is this happening?
When the emperor saw that Xiao Yu heard that it was beneficial to Gu Yuqing, he was as excited as if he had eaten several bowls of chicken blood and eaten several bundles of ginseng. He silently cursed in his heart: He really married a wife and forgot about his father.

He still said: "Of course it's true. I kept my word, so how could I use such a thing to comfort you." While shaking his eyelids, he told Xiao Yu: What I said is true.

Xiao Yu suddenly began to think about the grand scene of the wedding day. After a moment, he turned to look at Gongsun Mu, "General Gongsun just said that no matter how big Gu Yuqing's dowry is, you will pay twice as much as hers. This statement is Count?"

Gongsun Mu's temples twitched suddenly.

Don't say that he doesn't have that much money. Even if he does, he can't buy the rare and exotic treasures in the hands of the Queen Mother. Even if he can buy them, how dare he have to overshadow the Queen Mother.

If he really prepares double the amount of dowry, he is afraid that not only will he spend all the money in the general's palace, but also because the property exceeds his salary, the censors will rush to impeach him, and eventually his home will be confiscated. .

But just now when his upper lip touched his lower lip, how could he take back what he said, a dignified general!

His face turned blue and red, and Gongsun Mu almost vomited to death.

Obviously I just came here to ask for a marriage for my daughter and to ask for a favor from His Majesty, so why did this topic come up again and again, and it ended up like this!
Gongsun Mu didn't speak, but Xiao Yu didn't want to spend any more time with him, and directly gave Gongsun Mu the final blow.

"It is not impossible for General Gongsun to marry his daughter to this king as his concubine, but this king also has several conditions. As long as General Gongsun's daughter meets these conditions, there will be no dowry without a dowry, even if she enters the house clean. , I have no complaints at all." Xiao Yu's face was surprisingly calm.

Gongsun Mu's heart was shocked, and there was a bit of disbelief in his eyes, and then he was overjoyed, "Don't mention a few conditions for Your Highness, it doesn't matter if there are dozens."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Gongsun Mu immediately regretted them.

The meaning behind his words sounded as if his daughter couldn't get married and had to pay for her marriage.

But there was no reason to change what he said, so he had to bite the bullet and pretend that he had no taste in anything he did.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth, "General Gongsun, please don't speak too fullly."

The implication is that the matter of doubling your dowry just now is not over yet!

When Gongsun Mu heard the words, he couldn't hold back his face immediately, but he could only brazenly ask, "What is your highness's condition?"

The emperor's eyes could not help but be a little curious.

"I have always paid attention to fate in my work. I and Gu Yuqing have gone through the hairpin ceremony and escaped from the flash flood. Such memories will be indelible in my heart."

"If Gongsun Qi wants to be my king's concubine, she must meet the above two points. For her hairpin insertion ceremony, the hairpin will be inserted by me personally, and she will experience a flash flood with me."

Gongsun Mu's lips trembled when he heard this, and he blurted out, "My little girl has already passed the haircut ceremony."

Xiao Yu's face suddenly showed helplessness, "Huh? Then she can't do the king's first condition!" In his tone, he looked like he couldn't blame me, which was very convincing.

"However, for the sake of keeping the words straight, I would still like to state the second condition, so as not to worry about it in my heart."

"Gu Yuqing lost her mother when she was young. She has experienced a lot of hardships since she was a child, which really makes me feel distressed. If Gongsun Qi wants to enter my palace and become a concubine with Gu Yuqing, then he needs to be like Gu Yuqing. Not to mention the one who lost her mother when she was young, anyway, she must have lost her mother before getting married, otherwise, she has a mother but Gu Yuqing does not, and I will feel sad and uncomfortable if I feel sorry for Gu Yuqing."

Lost mother...
