Chapter 90: Millions of Dowry
Day two.

early morning.

Zhang Wan'er collapsed in Lu Yi's arms as if she had no bones, her delicate body covered in sweat, her face showing both the pain of her first time and the joy of being a wife for the first time.

"Alas... I told you to take it slow, but you insisted... Now your body can't take it anymore, right?"

Lu Yi caressed her shoulders lovingly, his face full of pity and a hint of teasing.

"Hmph!" Zhang Wan'er said coquettishly, lightly punched Lu Yi's strong chest with her pink fist, and complained.

"It's all because my husband wanted to leave for business today right after the wedding. I don't know when I will return. I also want to get pregnant with our child as soon as possible, so that I can have something to rely on."

"Alas..." When Lu Yi heard the complaints of the beauty in his arms, he couldn't help but sigh again.

It is truly the most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman.

If Lu Yi was alone, had no achievements in his career, and had no ambitions, he would definitely choose to stay with Zhang Wan'er forever and accompany her day and night.

However, Lu Yi not only had great ambitions, but was also an extremely ambitious person, and was ashamed to be an inferior to others.

He is somewhat similar to the historical Lu Bu, except that he has little ambition and only wants to kill his adoptive father.

However, what Lu Yi wanted was not just the head of a certain person or a certain force.

Moreover, Lu Yi's family is now huge and powerful. Not only does he have nearly a thousand people under his command in Jiuyuan, but he also has several allies in the Great Wall, the border and Mayi, with an alliance of nearly 10,000 people.

Therefore, he has not only the love of his beloved wife pinned on him, but also nearly a thousand people who depend on Lu Yi for their livelihood.

With so many mouths to feed, Lu Yi's psychological pressure is far from as light as he appears.

Therefore, even though he had just gotten married yesterday, he decided to temporarily leave his beloved wife's warm home at noon today and lead the caravan to the vast grassland, stepping into the windy sand and unknown dangers.

"This time is different from the past. I have formed an alliance with the new overlord of the Mayi Grassland, the Hunye tribe. Our relationship is as strong as iron and as sweet as honey."

"Moreover, this time we have 200 cavalrymen escorting us, so the safety level is much greater than before."

"Therefore, my wife should have no worries."

Lu Yi comforted her again and again, and Zhang Wan'er finally calmed down a little.

It was almost noon when Lu Yi finally calmed the beauty in his arms. Even though they were fully dressed, they were still whispering in each other's ears.

"Wan'er, stay home and wait for your husband..."

"Then my husband, you must come as promised..."

"Hehe, I won't let my little darling wait in vain..."

Lu Yi's words "little darling" made Zhang Wan'er's face, which had just finally returned to normal, cloud over again, which was very pretty.

Lu Yi and Zhang Wan'er came out of the inner hall and saw that everyone had packed up and were standing outside the house looking at them quietly.

The two just got married yesterday, so even though everyone had been waiting for a long time, they still didn't say anything. Instead, they all looked at them with smiles on their faces.

Zhang Wan'er, on the other hand, was shy. She hastily stuffed a newly embroidered sachet into Lu Yi's arms and quickly hid back in the house.

"Haha, sorry to have kept you guys waiting for a long time. We will set off for the border right after lunch!" Lu Yi reached into his arms and squeezed the sachet that Zhang Wan'er stuffed into him, while saying to everyone with a smile.

"Brother got married yesterday, and he has to lead the team to go out of the border today. It would be a pity to neglect sister-in-law. It is better for brother to stay in Mayi for this business trip, and Cheng Lian and I will lead the team. In addition, brother's eldest brother-in-law Zhang Xun will also be with the team this time, so it should not be a problem."

Gao Shun frowned and advised against it when he saw this.

Cheng Lian and others, including Zhang Xun, who was following the caravan for the first time, all agreed with what he said. "No, the caravan is just starting out, and you guys have left your families and wives to go far away. As the head shopkeeper, how can I care about the love affairs of my children?"

"I have made up my mind, no need to persuade me anymore!"

Lu Yi shook his head, his tone unquestionable.

"Haha, Brother Lu has already gotten married, and now he is about to go out to the border to do business. I, Zhen, would like to not disturb you, and will hurry back to Zhongshan now." Seeing this, Zhen Yi nodded secretly, and felt more optimistic about Lu Yi in his heart. He stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said goodbye.

"Brother Zhen has come from afar to attend my wedding and give me a great gift. I am very grateful. After entering the pass this time, I will definitely deliver the promised horse to Zhongshan!"

"Then I will wait for good news from Brother Lu in Zhongshan."

It seemed that Zhen Yi stayed too long. He led the Zhen caravan on his return journey in a hurry without waiting to have lunch with everyone.

However, Zhang Shang and Zhang Xun pulled Lu Yi aside while the caravan was having a meal.

"What instructions do father-in-law and uncle have?" Lu Yi frowned slightly, not knowing what the two meant.

"That's right. There have been etiquettes for marriage since ancient times." Zhang Shang smiled and took Lu Yi's hand and said slowly.
"Since my dear son-in-law has already offered the betrothal gift, I, Zhang, will naturally offer the dowry."

"Oh?" Lu Yi couldn't help but perk up when he heard that, but then he thought of Zhang Shang's stingy character, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart and relaxed.

"This time, thanks to my nephew, my Zhang family was able to get on this horse trading route outside the Great Wall. The single profit has reached nearly 10 million yuan. In addition, the tribes of Mayi also sent people to present valuable gifts to the wedding."

"In this case, I, Zhang, would like to give you tens of millions of dollars as a dowry. What do you think, my dear son-in-law?"

But to Lu Yi's surprise, Zhang Shang not only changed his previous stingy attitude and became generous, but was so generous that Lu Yi found it a little unbelievable.

"This..." Lu Yi looked at Zhang Xun beside him in confusion, as if asking him if he had heard it wrong.

"Hahaha, brother-in-law, you don't know that although my father is a frugal person, he has always been generous to relatives and friends. Now my brother-in-law and I have become a family. Brother-in-law's Luwu is still under construction and continues to spend money. How can I not strongly support it?"

"It was me who misjudged my cheap father-in-law!" Upon hearing this, Lu Yi couldn't help but look at Zhang Shang in surprise, which made his face look a little sad.

"However, from the first time I brought people to his door, Zhang Shang wanted to wait for you to be punished. It seems that he is still true to his nature."

"I am also aware of Zhang's wealth. If I really give her a dowry of tens of millions of dollars, I'm afraid Zhang will be seriously injured!" Lu Yi thought about it and decided to refuse Zhang Shang's dowry.

"Oh?" Now it was Zhang Shang and Zhang Xun's turn to look up to this son-in-law and brother-in-law who always attached great importance to interests.

"Don't worry, my dear son-in-law. My Zhang family has stood in Mayi for hundreds of years and has some foundation. What's more, these tens of millions of dollars are just floating assets and will not affect the normal expenses of my Zhang family. And since I don't have this money even if you are not my son-in-law, and the caravans and trade will be stable in the future, are you still afraid that you will not give back to my Zhang family? Just accept it!" Zhang Shang kept persuading her with meaningful words.

"That's right, brother-in-law. You are starting your own business and you are in urgent need of funding. If you still regard my father as your father-in-law and me as your uncle, you must accept this 10 million yuan no matter what!" Zhang Xun also stiffened his neck and forced Lu Yi to accept it.

"Since my father-in-law and eldest uncle are so kind, Lu Yi has no choice but to obey their orders!

In this regard, Lu Yi could only sigh and reluctantly accepted the huge sum of tens of millions of dollars.

People are giving them money so kindly, wouldn't it be disrespectful if I don't accept some?

In addition to face, Lu Yi estimated that Zhang was also afraid that Lu Yi would abandon Zhang and work on his own, so he deliberately deepened the bond between Zhang and Lu Yi.

"Haha, this is my good son-in-law!" Zhang Shang was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Brother-in-law, from now on you and I are brothers closer than real brothers!" Zhang Xun patted Lu Yi's shoulders repeatedly with a smile on his face.
