I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 74 Men are less concerned with women's affairs.

"Your Highness!"

As soon as Zhu Zhangui arrived at the gate of the East Palace, he saw a man kneeling there.

Taking a closer look, it was his female officer Hu Shanxiang.

"Who made you kneel?"

Zhu Zhangui didn't pull it up, but just looked at Hu Shanxiang calmly.

"It was the Crown Princess who made the slaves kneel here."

With tears in his eyes, Hu Shanxiang lowered his head and told who made her kneel here.

Just this morning, Hu Shanxiang was happily freshening up.

The princess had already looked for her yesterday.

Tell her that the big wedding is coming soon, and you should know more about men and women.

So I stuffed her with a book and asked her to study hard so that she could use it at night.

Hu Shanxiang was shy and excited at the time.

My dream for many years is finally coming true.

Although she didn't become the grandson's concubine or even the grandson's concubine, as the first woman of the grandson's close female officer, her future status would definitely not be much worse.

Just as she blushed and looked at the contents of the little book.

The princess who went out for a while directly took the little book, and asked her to kneel at the gate of the East Palace with a calm expression.

No reason, no reason.

Although I don't know why the princess suddenly became like this, but Hu Shanxiang, who grew up in the palace, knows what should not be asked.

Just like that, she knelt at the gate of the East Palace, silently begging Zhu Zhangui to come back soon.

Zhu Zhangui nodded slightly, squatted down and looked at Hu Shanxiang and asked, "Do you know why you are asked to kneel here?"

Hu Shanxiang pursed his lips and shook his head slightly.

She also wants to know why?
Why do you want to suddenly punish the princess who likes her so much.

"Do you know Sun Ruowei?"

A name that Zhu Zhangui said suddenly made Hu Shanxiang's heart tremble.

"I know this servant, it's the girl brought back by His Royal Highness the Second Emperor."

"anything else?"

Zhu Zhangui asked again, which made Hu Shanxiang more and more flustered.

"Your Highness, this servant really has nothing to do with her..."

Zhu Zhangui reached out and stopped Hu Shanxiang from explaining.

"Kneel down! When will you figure it out, and when will you get up again."

Seeing the back of Hu Shanxiang striding into the East Palace, the tears in Hu Shanxiang's eyes could no longer be stopped, falling like pearls.

She really couldn't figure it out, why?
Apart from meeting Sun Ruowei a few times, I haven't had much contact with Sun Ruowei at all?
Why did the princess and grandson punish themselves for this?
Is it...

Suddenly, Hu Shanxiang was startled.

It is probably the only thing that can cause the crown princess and grandson to be so angry.

Zhu Zhangui was not angry when his female officer was punished by his mother, nor did he say anything.

The old lady is the crown princess. In the absence of the queen, the entire six palaces are under the control of the old lady.

The royal family has royal rules.

As the manager of the sixth house, the old woman had better not intervene as a man when she punishes the female relatives.

Once he intervenes, the maidservants below will feel that as long as they are favored, they can ignore the princess.

"Son, I'm back, come here... Mother has something to tell you."

As soon as Zhu Zhangui walked into the courtyard, Zhang, who was looking at Zhu Pangpang with a worried face, hurriedly greeted Zhu Zhangui.

Looking at the two men with sad faces, Zhu Zhangui felt a little puzzled, thinking that the two were still worrying about the assassination.

"You're all frowning, don't worry, everyone, I've settled the matter."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhu Pangpang and snorted, pulled Zhu Zhangui and said, "It's not about you, it's about something else."

As he spoke, he took the memorial from Zhu Pangpang's hand and handed it to Zhu Zhangui.

"Look! Your father and I are worrying about this."

Zhu Zhangui glanced at the two and opened the memorial curiously.

It is clear from this point of view.

The memorial records the list of expenses needed for the marriage between himself and Zhu Zhanji.

What, what price, the target is clear.

From the dresses Zhu Zhangui and Zhu Zhanji wore when they got married, down to what specifications of tableware were used at the banquet.is everything.

After casually looking at the list of items, Zhu Zhangui looked directly at the final summary.

"Good guy, it's really worth the money!"

The total cost of the statistics at the end of the list is 3908 million taels.

Seeing her son was also a little surprised, Mrs. Zhang added helplessly:
"Where is this going? It's the money to reward those little ghosts, and the cost of offering sacrifices to the Taimiao."

"Combining the rewards from officials from all over the country to congratulate, and the gifts from the people in the capital, the 450 million taels cannot be beat."

"That's not right!"

Zhu Zhangui closed the memorial and looked at his father suspiciously.

"I'm married to Zhanji. It stands to reason that the imperial court has to pay for it. What does this mean? It seems that our family is going to pay for it ourselves."

"Don't mention this."

As soon as the court was asked to spend money, Mrs. Zhang said angrily without waiting for Zhu Pangpang to speak: "It's not that old stingy Xia Yuanji who said that the court has difficulties recently, and those who have to fight wars and provide disaster relief can't afford money at all." , it just so happens that you are not short of money, so I will ask you to advance the money first, and then make it up when the court has money later."

Hearing his wife's complaints, Zhu Pangpang quickly explained to Xia Yuanji: "There is no other way. Now that the court asks for money from all over the country, he really can't get it out. Since our family has this money, we might as well use it first. That's it, save the court trouble."

"Ah!"

Zhang sneered.

"You said it lightly. Is it easy for our family to save such a small amount of money? There are still a few brats behind. Once this is done, it will be impossible to ask the court for money in the future."

Zhu Pangpang was speechless for a moment.

Besides Zhu Zhangui and Zhu Zhanji, he has several sons.

As Mrs. Zhang said, once the eldest and second child get married and start to spend their own money, they will never get a tael of silver from the household department in the future.

That guy Xia Yuanjin is notoriously picky and cunning.

As long as you can get rid of the opportunity to spend money once, you will never get a penny later.

When I saw my man, I stopped talking!Mrs. Zhang became even more angry, "They don't give money. They are planning to make my son a bachelor! I have opened my eyes, and this is the first time I have heard that the grandson and grandson are single. It's really not as good as a nest of weasels. It's too late, and when you are deposed again, we might as well go out and beg for food. This is also very good, and it can be regarded as living the life your grandfather used to have."

Zhu Zhangui was speechless.

This old lady's mouth is really unreasonable.

Besides, old lady, do you think what you said is really appropriate?

Grandpa, the old man, if he hears this, will he think you are impolite?

"Okay, okay, I'll think of a way. I'll go to Xia Yuanji tomorrow to see if I can take some out, so that everyone can save face."

Zhu Pangpang, who didn't want to quarrel with his wife, reluctantly picked up the memorial, sighed, and walked to the room with his hands behind his back.

No matter what happens tomorrow, I will let Xia Yuanji pay a little.

Otherwise, when the grandson and grandson get married, the imperial court will not pay a penny, and outsiders who don't know will think that the imperial court does not support this marriage.

At that time, if there are some gossip and rumors, it will not only lose the face of the East Palace, but also the face of the entire imperial court.
