Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 89 Expensive luxury items in the Ming Dynasty!
"What about Prince Yan? How is he?"

Li Xiao continued to look for something to say, and asked about the situation of his relatives by the clock.

"Of course Prince Yan is excellent, not just the prince and concubine."

Ma He continued: "Shizi Yan is also very kind to his subordinates. He will generously donate money to sponsor the travel expenses when he meets those students who go to Beijing to take the exam on weekdays. On weekdays, he will also recruit some capable folks and record their abilities and skills. Come down and organize it into a book, and give silver in return."

Yes, this Zhu Gaochi, Li Xiao secretly praised in his heart.

Zhu Gaochi probably wouldn't have thought that he would become a prince or even an emperor in the future.

These actions are probably unintentional.

But he probably didn't expect that what he did was not in vain.

They will all become the prince's bargaining chip in the future!
In the future, Zhu Gaoxu did not become the prince after making such great contributions. It is absolutely impossible for him to be a "good grandson".

Those students who were generously sponsored, if they won the election, would definitely remember their love back then and become princelings.

Even if he does not become a princeling, he will definitely not harm him.

The ancients valued friendship very much, especially this kind of friendship that gives charcoal in a timely manner.

Before the battle for crown prince started, Zhu Gaoxu lost half of it.

Li Xiao agreed: "I also feel the same way. Although I only met Yan Shizi once, I feel very cordial. What about Gao Xu?"

"Prince Gao Xu."

Ma He frowned slightly: "It's hard to say that I'm an official, but in recent years my temperament has become much more restrained."

He recalled that he seemed to have been stoned by Zhu Gaoxu a few years ago.
"it's okay no problem."

Li Xiao smiled, it was good that the other party could tell him so much, and expressed that he was willing to develop a relationship with him.

"Ma He, what kind of books do you usually like to read?" Li Xiao asked.

Ma He said: "The Art of War. This officer also thinks that one day he will be able to make contributions on the battlefield. Does Mr. Xiao think that this officer is a useless person, which is a bit whimsical?"

"No no, very good, you have no problem with this idea!"

Li Xiao quickly waved his hands and said, "It is gold that always shines, don't give up your dreams, what's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?"

People have no dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish?
Ma He tasted it carefully, and immediately his whole soul trembled.

This sentence made him enlightened, and he said excitedly:

"Young Master Xiao is right. You can't underestimate yourself just because of your own flaws."

"To be honest, the art of war is just one of my hobbies. I like shipbuilding more, and I often read books like this."

"The purpose of making contributions is for the sea, and I prefer the sea!"

Some people are born into this world to do some vigorous careers.

Such as Ma He.

He yearned for the sea, and he wanted to build a big ship to conquer the sea.

But relying on his identity, it is impossible to do it.

So he worked very hard, learning the art of war, and thinking about making meritorious deeds one day.

Following Yan Wang's side, martial arts has a chance to stand out.

But the ultimate goal is not just for power and money.

But for dreams.

For such a person, Li Xiao expressed his admiration.

"If you like it, just do it!"

"If you don't work hard, no one will know how good you are!"

Li Xiao poured chicken soup over again.

It may be because of Li Xiao's identity, or because he was recognized by the master as a man of great fortune.

This hair of chicken soup directly confused Ma He.
A flame burned in his heart, and he became more determined in his dream.

"Young Master Xiao, although you and I met for the first time, I always feel like old friends at first sight. If there is a chance, I will treat you to a drink."

During the conversation, Ma He finally measured his body and put away the rope.

"Okay, we can discuss shipbuilding if we have a chance."

Li Xiao said so.

Maybe I can get a boat out and see the scenery abroad.

Let's see what's going on in the country right now?
Li Xiao knows Chinese history very well, but he doesn't know much about foreign history.

But it seems that the current Ming Dynasty should be one of the strongest empires in the world, right?
If there is a chance, he also wants to go and see if he can get some souvenirs back.

Global travel is right, it is global travel, go with your lover!

Türkiye?Australia?Croatia?Go to the North Pole to see the aurora?Catch a polar bear and penguin to come back and play?

Thinking about it this way, Li Xiao began to look forward to it.
After exchanging pleasantries with Ma He, Li Xiao sent him out of the house.

After tidying up, Li Xiao also left the Yan Palace.

Prepare for the dowry!

He first inquired around, and then went to a rather large cloth shop.

It's called Zhang's cloth village.

The various squares and cities in Beiping City are still very lively, with shouts from the south and north.

The gorgeous sunlight is sprinkled on the green tiles and red walls everywhere, and the cornices protruding from the sky.

Shop signs and flags fluttering high, cars and horses approaching, and pedestrians in an endless stream.

There are those who carry burdens on the road, and those who drive ox carts to deliver goods.

There are those who drive donkeys to pull carts, and those who sell candied haws and various snacks.

There are also buskers surrounding a circle of people applauding.

There are also teahouse storytellers spitting everywhere.

Many people stopped to enjoy the scenery.

These scenes and the prosperity of the Lantern Festival were beyond Li Xiao's expectation. I thought that the ancient times were the kind of bitterness.

It's my ignorance.

It is mainly due to the misunderstanding caused by seeing the photos of poor people taken in the Qing Dynasty in the past.

If it weren't for the lack of a mobile phone, Li Xiao would have liked to post a circle of friends now, so that everyone can see the scene of the Ming Dynasty.

After walking through several streets, Li Xiao found this cloth shop.

"Guest officer, please come inside."

The store clerk in black sackcloth knew that there was business coming when he saw Li Xiao approaching with his eyes fixed on the signboard.

Li Xiao followed into the shop, which was very big.

The goods inside are full of containers, and there are all kinds of ready-made clothes on display.

But mostly women choose goods in it.

In contrast, I am a bit out of place.

"Is the guest officer here to buy cloth? Are you making the clothes yourself, or..."

the buddy asked tentatively.

Li Xiao explained the purpose of coming: "Is there any good material for the betrothal gift?"

"It turned out to be used as a dowry gift, this young one knows best."

The clerk greeted warmly: "It depends on who you are giving the dowry to. Our cloth shop has the most complete silk, satin, velvet and silk brocades, everything you need."

Li Xiao had a headache, he didn't understand these things, so he said directly: "I'll fix the most expensive one."

"Okay~"

The clerk was overjoyed, and directly took Li Xiao as a high-level customer to a small warehouse.

"Let me introduce this kind of Rob to you, the guest officer. This kind of cloth can only be worn by the big people in the court."

He whispered mysteriously again: "Today the emperor and his lord wear clothes made of this material."

"However, guest officer, let me remind you that the emperor stipulates that ordinary people, peasants, and merchants are not allowed to wear clothes. You should know this, right?"

I really don't know, but Li Xiao nodded as if he didn't understand him: "It's just this kind of Rob, what styles do you have?"

As soon as the other party knew that he wanted to buy it, Xiao Er confirmed that the other party was a big shot.
"Our shop has Suluo, Yunmengluo, Wendijinluo, Overshoulder Phoenixluo, Zhijinluo, and Xiezhibuluo. They are all new this year, and the prices are different. They are all good materials. They are definitely a good choice as a betrothal gift. , depends on which one you like."

Hearing this, Li Xiao walked over, touched and looked, and found that they were all good materials.

This so-called Luo is actually a kind of silk fabric.

The surface of the fabric is a floral fabric with yarn holes, and the craftsmanship looks very complicated.

But after all, it's just a piece of cloth.

Li Xiao thought it would not cost much to buy some cloth, so he said directly:
"Which is the most expensive?"

Xiao Er smiled mysteriously and led Li Xiao to the innermost place.

Like a treasure, he opened a box containing cloth, and said mysteriously, "My lord. This is the treasure of our store, Coral Treasure Luo. 200 taels a piece."

Li Xiao: "????"
