son-in-law

Chapter 1074

Yesterday morning, Tang Sheng received the certificate of customs clearance from the Ministry of Rites, took his credentials and some local products, and embarked on the long road to Sichuan.

The gift that the Ministry of Rites prepared for him was really shabby, not worthy of the word "national gift".But the little widow brought him so little things, Tang Sheng couldn't complain with the queen mother.In the end, the king of Qin allocated funds from the Ministry of Households to purchase silk cloth produced by Tang's company to make up for it, so that it looked more decent.

It is true that although the sales volume of Tang's silk is not high, but the quality is good, it can be used as a gift.

When Tang Sheng left, a large group of people from the Tang family came out to see him off, and he himself felt a great responsibility and honor. Looking at his walking posture, it was as if a strong man cut off his wrist.

But Su Yu felt that his emotional drama was a bit too much, but it was not necessary at all.

"Your Highness, it's time to prepare the wedding things."

The little side concubine with ox horns came to the palace, and said in a soft voice: "Yesterday, Cao Xiaobao came and said that the queen mother also prepared many gifts. But Cao Xiaobao did not send a list of gifts. If the concubine prepares hastily, it may overlap."

It was less than a year since they married, and they were going to organize a wedding for their husband, so the little side concubine was probably not feeling well at this time.But she didn't show any emotion, and spoke kindly as usual.

Su Yu felt that Cao Yuzan was more or less playful in doing this. She asked Cao Xiaobao to come over and leave without leaving a gift slip. Isn't this just waiting for others to find her?

"I'll ask the Queen Mother."

Su Yu put down the Chinese scroll in his hand, got up to leave, and suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Meng Can, "How much does the princess plan to pay for the attic of the East Courtyard?"

"500."

"Only 500 million?"

Meng Can smiled wryly: "The princess said that it was all built by her own workers, and the working hours were not counted, only the material cost."

Su Yu frowned and asked, "What about the interior decoration?"

"Wangfei said that she has seen Princess Xiang's dowry list, and the dowry can almost fill the attic. If you find something is missing, you can add it later."

Su Yu let out an "oh", rubbed Meng Can's head, and walked out of the palace.

Tang Linger was notoriously stingy, and Su Yu was worried that Tang Yan would cut corners when building the building because she didn't give enough money.He planned to meet Cao Yuzan and then talk to Tang Linger. In addition, he had to discuss Er Tie Dan's name and the name of the new attic.There are also some arrangements for the wedding day.

Not long after, King Qin came to the apse of the imperial city and asked Cao Yuzan for a gift list.

Cao Yuzan had already prepared the gift list and was waiting for Su Yu to see it.

Su Yu took the gift list and looked at it. It was just some clothes, jewelry, sheets, etc., and there was even a royal family ceremonial labor fee.

But the sum of these things did not exceed 20.Because Cao Yuzan said that she had already wiped out the ceremonial labor and severance fee, and the king of Qin would just reward them with a small amount of money at that time.

Cao Yuzan also said that she had seen the dowry gift list sent by the Southern Jin Dynasty. The dowry prepared by them was very complete, even the washbasin and spittoon were ready, so there was no need to add anything.But when Uncle Huang gets married, as the eldest sister-in-law of the emperor, Bengong always wants to give some gifts.After much deliberation, she decided to ask the manufacturing office to build a carriage for Princess Xiang and send four horses.

"But I don't have the money to buy horses, so I need funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"Then you still have the nerve to say that you sent it?"

"Of course, if I give it to you, the ministers won't say anything. If you buy horses for the side concubine Wang directly with the money from the user department, it's up to the censor to scold you."

What she said was true, those damn censors were really fearless when they scolded people.Standing on the moral high ground, they criticize verbally and pen, quite sharply.Because they stood too high, King Qin couldn't do anything to them.Otherwise, it is to challenge propriety, justice, integrity and shame, and to destroy Confucianism and Taoism.

Su Yu remained silent.

Cao Yuzan shook her head: "If you care about money, then I can't help it. I can only give you four mules. I can afford mules."

Matching a mule with a four-wheeled cart produced by the Manufacturing Office is like matching a million-dollar luxury car with motorcycle wheels.Su Yu glanced contemptuously at Cao Yuzan, seeing her sly and proud smile, Su Yu rolled his eyelids: "Get to the point."

Cao Yuzan stopped laughing: "Brother Yu thinks, how will Princess Xiang's 100 billion dowry be distributed? If she is married to the emperor, it is appropriate to put the money anywhere, but King Qin is not the emperor, so we have to talk about it. Marriage is a national gift. The princess was married to the King of Qin, but the gift was for the Liang Dynasty. King Qin put the money in the treasury, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would definitely not say anything. Come out and scold people."

"Is that what you're talking about?"

"if not?"

"I've considered this issue a long time ago. 50 billion in cash... No, it's 47 billion in cash, all of which are used to strengthen the equipment of the Xuanjia Army. Cloth and the like are put in the treasury and can be used as salaries for officials. Finally, they are sent to the palace. Dowry, worth no more than one billion. Is this okay?"

Cao Yuzan frowned: "Why 47 billion?"

"Three hundred million was spent by Sima Kui."

"Where did the flowers go?"

"Buy a house." Worried that Cao Yuzan would be entangled in this topic, Su Yu said emphatically, "Buy a house in Qinghuafang and renovate it for Sima Xiang."

Of course Cao Yuzan knew about the situation in Qinghuafang. She felt that Tang Ling'er had ripped off Sima Kui, and once the money fell into Tang's hands, there was no hope of getting it back.

Cao Yuzan took a deep breath: "You idiot, if you can't give me some, I'll give you more."

"You'd better not have money."

No time to quarrel with Cao Yuzan, King Qin left the apse, returned to the palace and went straight to Xiaofeng Pavilion, asking Tang Linger for the blueprint of the new attic.Tang Linger said that the blueprint is in Tang Yan's hands.Tang Ling'er knew what Su Yu wanted to see, and said: The height and width of the new building are the same as those of Qifeng Pavilion.

"It's not a drawing, is it?"

"Your Highness underestimated Tang Jiagong's architect."

"It's not just a blueprint." Su Yu smiled, sat down and said, "Can you increase the budget? 500 million, I'm afraid it's not enough to just buy materials."

Tang Ling'er narrowed her eyes slightly, and shifted her eyes sideways: "If Your Highness thinks that 500 million is not enough, you can add money yourself. You can also avoid going there, so as not to cause the house to collapse and be buried in it."

Hearing the inhuman words, Su Yu squinted coldly, pointed at Tang Linger, and criticized: "You murdered your own husband on purpose. The seven crimes. Your crime is heinous."

Tang Ling'er refused to increase the money, and Su Yu had nothing to do with her, and then went to find Tang Yan, who had already brought the engineering team to the Eighth Miss's Mansion next door, and the workers were carrying sledgehammers and other tools, preparing to demolish the house.

After looking at the drawings and listening to Tang Yanbi's gesticulations, Su Yu felt that the new attic would be quite good.Soon, it comes to the issue of materials.Tang Yan said that the 500 million yuan was used to buy new materials, and there are still a lot of stone and wood in the Tangjiagong structure compound, which is estimated to be worth more than 200 million yuan.

It turned out that this was the case, but Tang Linger didn't say anything...

I planned to discuss with Tang Linger the name of the child and the name of the new attic, but at this moment I was not very happy, so instead of going upstairs, I went to the backyard to discuss with Kong Ting.

Kong Ting said that the name of the attic is not as good as waiting for Princess Xiang to choose it herself, and there is no need to worry about the child's name, Er Tie Dan is a good name.

Su Yu said that after several generations of reproduction, the royal family has a large number of people, and some auspicious and pleasant names are basically taken by others.Mrs. I dreamed last night that I climbed into the sky and set foot on the auspicious clouds, so guess what name I want to name my child?

Kong Ting said that in ancient times there was Zhao Yun, who was well-known to everyone, and he can no longer be called Zhao Yun. Does His Highness want the child to be called Zhao Xiang?

Su Yu smiled and said: Zhao Jiao.

Obviously this was a joke, laughter came from the Peacock House.

Naming a child can be a hassle.Although the Liang Dynasty no longer issued salaries to the fourth-blessed relatives, the family relationship was still recognized. There was a family tree, and no one with the same name could be included in the family tree.

In the end, looking through the family tree, as Su Yu said, all the good names have been used.If it really doesn't work, you can only take two words like Zhao Yulong.

After chatting with Kong Ting for a while, the child's name was not confirmed yet, and it was time for dinner. The princess invited everyone to have dinner at Xiaofeng Pavilion, and the child's name was discussed again at the table.

Ximen Wanting said: "Er Tie Dan is a good name. When you turn bad luck into good luck, why don't you just take a word from here and call it Zhao Er, Zhao Tie, or Zhao Dan."

When she finished speaking, she burst out laughing.

No one paid attention to her, she was a little embarrassed, but she didn't care, and continued to pick and choose to eat.

Tang Ling'er is quick-tempered, eats very quickly, and adheres to her principle of "eat without talking, sleep without talking", and at the same time control the amount of food, so she is the first to finish eating, rinses her mouth first, then wipes her mouth, and then said: "I have checked , the Chinese character Dan for New Year’s Day has not been used yet. The word Dan means Tianming, which is not bad. Then it’s better to call it Zhao Dan, and it’s also convenient to use the weak crown, so it’s called Tianming.”

The former Tang Ruizong was named Li Dan.In the Liang Dynasty, the reason why others didn't call it by this name was somewhat taboo, but Tang Ling'er didn't think there was anything taboo about it.Su Yu Kongting did not raise any objections, and the matter was settled like this.

After dinner, Su Yu asked Tang Ling'er if she would like to travel in low clothes?

Tang Linger said, busy, another day.

But Su Yu didn't want to change the date, so he said: If you don't go, I will take Wanting there.

Tang Ling'er didn't speak, she acquiesced, and Su Yu walked to the East Bieyuan.At that time, Ximen Wanting was lying on the couch, with her head supported on one hand, like a Buddha lying on her side, talking about practicing kung fu.This is the first time Su Yu has seen this kind of lying down practice.

Su Yu asked her, what level has she practiced to?
Ximen Wanting said that it is expected to hit the fourth realm this year.

"Stop practicing, go out for a walk."

"Where?"

"Go to Beishi, or Pingkangfang, you choose."

"Why don't you go to Nanshi?"

"You are familiar with it?"

"How come you forgot, the first time we met was in Nanshi, Sifanghui."

She looked a little aggrieved, Su Yu smiled: "Okay, let's go to Nanshi to have a look."
