The boss is dressed as cannon fodder

Chapter 132 The Farmer's Son Who Exchanged His Life20

At this time, the emperor had forgotten that he had promised his sister to be a matchmaker for those girls who were caught by human traffickers and sent home.

For the emperor, the most troublesome thing for the queen mother was Leyang's marriage. Since the consort was settled, the queen mother would definitely not mind being a matchmaker.

When it comes to marriage, women are better at it.

The emperor quickly threw aside his sister's request. Previously, he asked those Jinshi whether they were getting married. In addition to being interested in his sister's marriage, he also wanted to see if any poor Jinshi would be willing to marry those poor girls. Unfortunately, except for one Jianghe, the other People don't seem to want to. Even if he is the emperor, he can't force people to marry those girls, right? I can only give up.

Empress Zheng was also very pleased. She said that her sister-in-law was kind-hearted and there were always people who appreciated her merits.

The Queen Mother, who had been feeling unwell since the beginning of winter last year, finally regained her energy and listened to the eunuch present recounting the story of Jiang He's proposal to marry Princess Leyang.

"He really thinks Leyang is perfect? ​​And it's love at first sight?" The Queen Mother asked hesitantly. Even she, the mother-in-law, didn't think Leyang was perfect.

No matter how unscrupulous she is, she cannot say that her daughter is a peerless beauty, let alone that she has a bad temper.

"Mother, I'm not bad either." Princess Leyang retorted unhappily, and then said happily, "Yulang said that he is willing to pay one hundred thousand taels of silver as a betrothal gift..."

One hundred thousand taels? !

"What a generous gift!" Empress Zheng was stunned. The size of this betrothal gift was really scary. The ninety-nine thousand nine hundred taels of silver that the emperor gave her as a betrothal gift was enough to make all the noble ladies of the capital the envy of her.

But it was a betrothal gift from the emperor to the future queen, and even if he was envious, he couldn't go past it. Of course, it is estimated that no aristocratic family in the capital is so wealthy and willing to pay such a large betrothal gift.

At that time, the censors caught the emperor trolling, thinking he was too extravagant. It was not until they saw her dowry that the trolls stopped.

"The Ai family remembers that a few years ago, when the only son of Duke An Guo asked to marry the eldest daughter of King Jing, the betrothal gift was a total of 80,000 taels. The whole capital talked about it for several years." When the Queen Mother said this, she suddenly felt very dignified. She originally thought To marry a daughter, you have to pay for it before anyone wants it. I didn't expect that my daughter would be so valued.

"Money means nothing." Princess Leyang was a little shy. She was not greedy for money. What she was happy about was the other person's intention.

"No, at least it means that he cares about you!" Empress Zheng patted her sister-in-law's hand tenderly, just like the emperor who, under the pressure of the censor, drained his private treasury to give her as a betrothal gift.

"It's a pity that I didn't see the number one scholar parading through the streets." The Queen Mother sighed, she hadn't seen the prince consort yet.

"The queen mother must be the most handsome of the number one scholar, and she is devoted to Leyang." Empress Zheng covered her mouth and smiled, "My daughter-in-law tells you, my consort, the emperor is the most handsome. At this time, the emperor had forgotten that he had promised his sister to be a matchmaker for those girls who were caught by human traffickers and sent home.

"Mother, she must be the most handsome number one scholar, and she is devoted to Le Yang." Empress Zheng covered her mouth and smiled, "My daughter-in-law is telling you, Prince Consort.

"At least coax the person into the princess's residence first," the Queen Mother advised.

Princess Leyang understood that her mother wanted her to pretend hard before marriage and reveal her true colors after marriage.

**

After Fang Sanniang learned that the princess had a consort, she looked as if she was mourning for her concubine, and her whole body was filled with despair.

Princess Leyang's heart tightened, and she asked cautiously: "Sanniang, are you..." After the loss, she finally found that she fell in love with Jiang Yulang?

Fang Sanniang finally couldn't help it and cried loudly, "Princess, I heard that the prince-in-law is an only son and has no brothers!"

Princess Leyang:? ? ? ? What does this have to do with the Prince Consort’s brother?

"I originally thought that no matter who the princess married, I would marry the brother-in-law, so that I could follow the princess for the rest of my life..."

Princess Leyang was so upset that she didn't know how to vomit. She rolled her eyes and said, "Why don't you marry me directly?"

Fang Sanniang's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?"

Princess Leyang was ruthless and said, "No!" Does she look like the kind of princess who knows how to look good? I will definitely live my life with my consort wholeheartedly.

Fang Sanniang was disappointed.

"Okay, let's go investigate the unmarried men who were born in poor families among the new scholars. The queen mother has agreed to be a matchmaker for Shun Niang and the others." Princess Leyang ordered.

Fang Sanniang immediately cheered up and geared up, ready for a big fight.

**

The military parade in the cold weapon era was full of courage and murderous spirit.

The people who were allowed to come and watch were so excited that they knelt down towards the place where the emperor was. Their shouts of "Long live" shook the sky and shocked many people, including spies from various vassal kings hidden in the capital.

The emperor's hand grasped the handle of the chair tightly.

People’s support is available!

The emperor has never felt so deeply how to completely secure the seat beneath him.

The officials of the small country were pale, and the envoys of the barbarians were livid.

With all the people united as one, do they still have a chance?

Princess Leyang's female soldiers performed extremely well. Among the ten teams, they ranked fourth, trampling most of the men under their feet.

Her bodyguard army occupied the top spot with its absolute strength.

Everyone was so surprised that they opened their mouths. It turns out that women can really serve as soldiers. So can women be so powerful?

The veteran generals' eyes were bright, "To train such powerful soldiers in such a short time, Princess Leyang... is really a natural general!" Her ability to lead troops is rare in the world!

The emperor's face showed pride.

He has been fond of wielding knives and guns since she was a child. Even though everyone told her that it is impossible for a woman to be a woman.

"At least coax the person into the princess's residence first," the Queen Mother advised.

Princess Leyang understood, and her mother wanted her to pretend hard before marriage and reveal her true colors after marriage.

The emperor's face showed pride.

He has loved wielding knives and guns since he was a child, even though everyone told her that it is impossible for a woman to

She personally invited Princess Jing to the palace to talk about matchmaking.

The Queen Mother was shocked by the news. She didn't expect that Jiang He was not a child of a poor family, but the biological son of the old Qingbei Marquis.

Although she didn't care about Jiang He's identity as a farmer's son before, the fact that a princess chose a son-in-law from a poor family still made many children from noble families who wanted to eat grapes but disliked the sour grapes secretly laugh at her.

But she didn't expect that Jiang He's life experience was so dramatic. He was not a child of a poor family, but the son of a nobleman.

Now, even the only shortcoming is gone.

No, Jiang Bai grew up with his son and daughter since he was a child. He suddenly found out that he was not his own son. This...

The Queen Mother's face kept changing. She was happy for Jiang He for a while, and worried about Jiang Bai for a while.

She liked both children. This was a torment.

But the most tormented person should be Madam Jiang. It was painful for both the biological son and the adopted son.

"They call each other brothers now, and both children are very sensible." Madam Jiang smiled comfortably, "I haven't lost any of my children, that's enough."

The queen mother was immediately happy. Her son-in-law Leyang was indeed a broad-minded person. He never complained despite growing up in two completely different environments. How could there be such a good child in the world?

The queen mother happily sent off Princess Jing and Madam Jiang, and now she was waiting for Jiang He to send someone to propose marriage.

With such a big happy event, the queen mother's spirit became better than ever before. The listlessness before the New Year was gone. She was now busy preparing the dowry for her daughter who was about to get married.

Jiang He will be able to leave mourning in early summer next year, which is just over a year away. This time is a bit tight, and she has no time to continue to stay in bed and rest.

By the way, there are also the marriages of the new Jinshi and those girls who were once caught by human traffickers.

The queen mother complained with a smile on her face, "Those two children promised to be matchmakers, but in the end, I, as a mother, have to clean up the mess for them?"

The old nanny who served beside her echoed with a smile: "So queen mother, you must take care of yourself. You see, the emperor and the princess are not good at those trivial matters. You will continue to worry about them in the future."

The good mood of the four masters with the highest status in the palace made the palace maids and eunuchs working below very happy, and they felt that the sky in the palace was bright every day.

Then, Jiang He finally entered the palace to propose marriage.

Although the princess's mansion was divided, the matchmaker's words were still important in these days, and the elders were still the ones who made the decision.

"One hundred thousand taels... gold!"

After seeing the betrothal gift sent by the future prince consort, even the queen mother who was knowledgeable and had been ups and downs in the palace for half a lifetime couldn't help but be shaken.

,桡傛灉獐孭gui扉牀红抇燇甛岃峰匌m. 铡熺珯鐪嬩公銆 She personally invited Princess Jing to the palace to propose marriage.

Jiang He will be able to leave in early summer next year, which is just over a year away. The time is a bit tight, and she has no time to stay in bed and rest.

Oh, and there are also the marriages of the newly-appointed scholars and the girls who were once caught by human traffickers.

The queen mother complained with a smile on her face, "Those two children promised to be matchmakers, but in the end, they still have to trouble me, as a mother, to clean up the mess for them?"

The old nanny serving beside her laughed and said, "So, queen mother, you must take care of yourself. You see, the emperor and the princess are not good at those trivial matters, and you will continue to worry about them in the future."

"One hundred thousand taels... gold!"

After seeing the betrothal gift sent by the future prince consort, even the queen mother, who was knowledgeable and had been ups and downs in the palace for half a lifetime, couldn't help but be shaken.

People shouted in their hearts, staring at the boxes of gold.

Who doesn't love gold? Even if it's not theirs, it's nice to look at it a few more times.

"I promise to the princess that I will not have any concubines after marriage, and we will be together for the rest of our lives! I know that the financial pressure of the princess's house is great, and I think I am still somewhat capable of making money. The guards and female soldiers under the princess' name will be left to me. Come and raise...the princess can recruit as many female soldiers as she wants, and I will raise them together!"

"Really?" Princess Leyang didn't feel dizzy anymore and looked at him with bright eyes.

The emperor next to him was so envious that he didn't know what to say. It would be great if he still had a girl. If he gave Jiang He another girl, would he ask all the civil and military officials to help him raise her?

Nanny Qin winked wildly, hinting to the princess to pretend to be shy. What unmarried girl is not shy when holding hands with a man?

"If you help me raise my soldiers, I will marry you right away!" The princess's eyes were bright, "I will marry you even if you want three wives and four concubines!"

Jiang He's voice was as warm as wine, "The princess was joking, how can I find another woman as beautiful as the princess in this world? If I marry three more wives and four concubines, wouldn't I just be a flower on a cow dung? Of course." I am a flower.” Other women are cow dung.

Although these words were shameless, everyone who saw his face felt the same way.

With Jiang He's face, how could any other woman dare to call him a flower in front of his face?

"Well, Jiang Aiqing... No, brother-in-law, where did you get so much gold?" The emperor finally couldn't help but ask.

Others were also puzzled, worried that Jiang He had done something illegal.

Jiang He did not answer, but opened a box, which contained glassware that dazzled people in the sun.

Glass bowls, teacups, vases... you name it.

"This is glass worth thousands of gold!"

The emperor's first reaction was to look at the palace door, fearing that someone would rob him.

"I was researching some things earlier and accidentally discovered colored glaze." Jiang He handed over a piece of paper very humbly, "Princess, this is the recipe for making glass... colored glaze. I think it should be enough for you to raise thousands of soldiers. ”

He smiled and said: "A glass vase can be sold for thousands of taels of silver."

So a few thousand soldiers is nothing, hundreds of thousands are enough to support them!

The poor emperor was so jealous that his eyes were burning red.

He issued a decree for them to get married at lightning speed. Someone actually wanted his biological sister, who had always been despised by others, and it also came with such a luxurious betrothal gift. There was no such shop in this village!

After realizing that they were a family after giving the edict, the emperor said shamelessly: "Brother-in-law, we can be considered a family. I will accept this glass-making method. Since it is a betrothal gift, I will give Leyang 20% As a dowry..."

Taking out 20% of the betrothal gift as dowry, is this the job of a human being?

Princess Leyang glared at her brother murderously, "What a beautiful idea! Five to five!"

"Forty-six points!" The emperor hid behind the powerful Empress Zheng and reached out to bargain with the girl. "Leyang, the emperor tells you that the money is too much and you can't protect it..."

"This is my business!"

The two brothers and sisters almost came to a fight while bargaining, but in the end the bruised emperor agreed to a 30-70 split.

Although he was beaten by his sister, he was still grinning happily. He finally had money. I didn’t even know how to spend it...

After being happy, the emperor awkwardly explained to Jiang He, who was watching the quarrel between his fellow royals, "Brother-in-law, the emperor's family doesn't have any food. The treasury is so empty that rats can run away. I am helpless."

It was true that he had just obtained a lot of money from the merchants, but after dealing with the floods in the southeast and the rebellion of the southern barbarians, there was not much left.

"Sorry, my dowry may not be much." Princess Leyang is really embarrassed. Who has received a betrothal gift and not put it as a dowry? It is too shameful to leave the betrothal gift secret.

Jiang He smiled and said emotionally: "The princess's noble character is the best dowry."

The prince-in-law was so good that Leyang was moved. His mother said he was gentle and considerate, right? She could learn from it!

The emperor couldn't put it down and touched a box of colored glaze. With the method of making colored glaze, his treasury no longer had to worry about running out of money.

Suddenly, he remembered something and asked quickly: "Jiang He, where is the place where you made the glass? Are you sure you can keep it a secret?"

Jiang He touched his nose and told the truth.

"What? Just an ordinary porcelain kiln?" The emperor's vision went dark and he felt dizzy. "Hurry! I will send troops to guard the place to ensure that not even an ant can get in." Everyone who knows the news must screen it again and again.

Princess Leyang's betrothal gift caused great shock in the capital.

,桡傛灉鍍卭gui扉牀红抇燇燛岃峰匌m. 铡熺珯鐪嬩公銆 People shouted in their hearts, staring at the boxes of gold.

Who doesn't love gold? Even if it's not yours, it feels good to look at it more than once.

"I promise to the princess that I will not have concubines after marriage, and we will be together for the rest of our lives! I know that the financial pressure of the princess's house is great, and I think I am still somewhat capable of making money. The guards and female soldiers under the princess's name will be left to me. Come and raise...the princess can recruit as many female soldiers as she wants, and I will raise them together!"
