Seeing that he had a good attitude, Li Jin did not continue to preach.
He just took out the twenty taels of silver that the prince had given him.
"Master Gu, when His Highness the Crown Prince sees you, you are already so old and you are not yet able to get married. This is why he asked me to prepare a betrothal gift for you."
"Not only that, I also promised you a hundred days of leave, so that you can go home immediately, have a wedding ceremony as soon as possible, and have children and heirs."
His Royal Highness is so easy to talk to that he even has to worry about the marriage affairs of junior officials.
Gu Chen was naturally very grateful. He took the money and wanted to give some to the eunuch, but the money was like silver ingots and could not be divided.
"Lord Angel, please wait a moment."
He turned around and ran to the bedside, took out a box, and, being cruel, took out a large handful of copper coins and prepared to give them to Li Jin.
"No need, no need. In consideration of your Majesty's wishes, our family will take it."
"Our family doesn't want this money anymore. Let's say goodbye."
People are already so poor. If he still takes it, is he still called a human being?
"Yes, yes."
Gu Chen never thought that one day he would be like his elders during the Chinese New Year, crazily giving red envelopes to others.
However, Li Jin still didn't ask for the money. He just said that when he came back, he would bring wedding candies to make him feel happy.
Simply beautiful!
Saved a lot of money again.
The prince has already spoken, so what are you waiting for? Just pack up and go home.
When he went out, he met Chen Baochuan who was also going home. Only then did he know that the prince had given them all a holiday, but Chen Baochuan had no money.
I remembered that in three days, Zhu Yuanzhang would return to Beijing after completing his tour.
The two of them couldn't help themselves and bowed in the direction of the palace in unison.
"His Royal Highness is so kind!"
From Jinling to Nanchang, it takes about 700 miles by taking the official road.
However, the starting price for renting a carriage and traveling a long distance is a total of two hundred coins.
The horse carries a weight of 100 kilograms, and there is an additional charge of 100 cents for every 100 kilometers traveled.
The carriage can travel up to forty-five kilometers a day, with breaks for meals.
A trip home totals 800 kilometers, takes about fifteen days including rest time, and costs more than a thousand Wen, which is about a penny.
Gu Chen was heartbroken and bleeding, but thinking that he could finally go home to rest and get a wife, he still gritted his teeth and gave it.
Count the money given by His Royal Highness, plus the money I have saved in the past few years.
Leaving aside the travel expenses, I still have more than fifty dollars left, so I should have no problem finding a wife.
Well, I still have to give my brother and sister-in-law some money to send their nephew to study.
What he didn't know was that he had just been on the road not long ago.
Lao Zhu, who had been working hard outside for a long time, came back. As soon as he came back, he ran to Kunning Palace. Before the people arrived, the voice arrived first.
"Sister, sister, let me tell you, we have killed three more greedy men this time..."
Before he finished speaking, he stopped when he saw his daughter-in-law with a pregnant belly.
"Oh, the girl from the Chang family is here too. With her belly so big, she can just rest in her own room. There is no need to come over to say hello. Your mother won't care."
The girl said that it was not good for pregnant women to be beaten or killed after hearing this, and he always remembered it.
This person is Chang Yuchun's daughter, who has only been married to the East Palace for three years.
What she was carrying in her belly was none other than Zhu Biao's first child, Zhu Xiongying.
"Back to my father, as a daughter-in-law, it's her duty to greet her mother-in-law, and the imperial doctor also gave her instructions, saying that she should move around more."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang nodding his head clearly, Chang resigned knowingly.
After his daughter-in-law left, Queen Ma teased him with a smile.
"Chongba, Chongba, tell me, why are you still making such a fuss after becoming the emperor? How can you have any royal decency?"
I don’t know which unlucky ones are this time, but this time it’s the bad luck of this man.
What a death!
Poor, but not pitiful either. Who made them greedy?
"What kind of royal dignity do we need in front of a girl?"
Lao Zhu didn't care about dignity, so he sat down and picked up the teapot and poured it into his mouth.
"Did anything happen while we were away from home?"
This workaholic had just come back and asked questions without even taking a bite of his meal.
"It's okay. My son is here. If anything happens, just relax."
Of course Queen Ma would not complain. She coaxed him to take a bath and eat before letting him go to deal with political affairs.
When Lao Zhu returned to Qianqing Palace, he called Mao Xiang to question him carefully.
After learning that the two censors were fighting, I couldn't help but slap the table on the spot.
"It's outrageous..."
On the spot, someone had to be sent to capture the two of them. Fight a hundred court battles and fine them another year's salary, so that these two people can learn a lesson.
But after learning that the good eldest son had already dealt with the matter and asked people to go home to visit relatives, he realized that his son was afraid that he would blame him more.
He didn't know what to say at that moment, so he just snorted lightly.
"Biao'er is too kind and too wasteful."
If you say you're going to give me a salary, you're going to give me a salary. Why do you give me money?
Give her a wife?
It's not your own family, why are you wasting this money?
How many white-flour steamed buns can be made with so much money?
Mao Xiang also told His Royal Highness how he met Gu Chen doing good deeds during the Lantern Festival.
Lao Zhu stopped talking. He lived so hard, but he still didn't forget to give charity to others.
That said, that guy is quite good.
I think back then, whenever there was someone like that boy, he would give me a hand.
He will not be forced into desperation and rebel.
"Go and call me Hu Weiyong."
Hu Weiyong, that bitch, has stretched his hands too far, right?
Where is Yushitai?
They were there to monitor the officials, and I had to be sprayed by people from the Yushitai from time to time.
Did he say anything?
Is it possible that the brother of his concubine Hu Weiyong is more valuable than the emperor himself?
Fortunately, the little censor is not afraid of power, not even the prime minister's people.
Alas, you said that if all the ministers in the court were as loyal and loyal as Gu Yushi.
How beautiful that must be!
It is a pity for an official like this to be a junior censor and should be promoted.
Gu Chen didn't know it yet, but Lao Zhu had already noticed him.
After he returned to Nanchang, he went home first, and then went to exchange the silver given by His Royal Highness into loose money and gave it to his sister-in-law Yan.
"Sister-in-law, I don't understand this either, so I have to ask my sister-in-law to help me take care of it."
The ancients had many rules for getting married, and it was definitely not possible for him to do it himself.
Seeing so much money, Mrs. Yan was very happy: "It's good to be married. The Su County magistrate came and asked several times, but our family..."
"Now, everything is fine..."
As long as the family can prepare the betrothal gift, other girls will bring dowries when they get married. The Su family is rich and is not afraid of the couple having a hard time.
And she has fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
When the time comes, I can have an explanation for my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
