Chapter 652 (2/2)
Forget it, I will not attack Gu Jiu.
Wen de Di coughed softly, ”I know Lu Hou better than you. He is a man who can't get up early without profit. Do you really think it's because your brother is young and promising to marry his daughter to your brother? ”
Gu Jiu pretends to be stupid, ”the daughter-in-law does not understand your Majesty's meaning.”
Emperor Wende said with a smile, ”everyone told me that the reason why Marquis Lu agreed to this marriage was because of you. Do you agree with that? ”
Of course, Gu Jiu would not approve of this sentence.
It's one thing to think in the heart and another to say it on the mouth.
Her face was respectful and puzzled, and she said, ”to be honest with your majesty, your daughter-in-law and Marquis Lu have never met. Some people even said that Marquis Lu betrothed his daughter to his brother because of me. My daughter-in-law doesn't understand where to start. ”
Wende was very angry.
Play dumb again!
I really want to leave Gu Jiu in the Zongzheng temple and keep company with Liu Zhao's son of a bitch. The couple reflected together.
Emperor Wende took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said, ”I believe that it is because of you that the Marquis Lu betrothed his daughter to Gu Zhen. You have something to say. ”
Since Gu Jiu likes to pretend to be stupid, Wende Di shows his cards directly and doesn't want to listen to her nonsense.
Gu Jiu looks innocent. What can she say?
”The daughter-in-law could not influence the decision of Lu Hou.”
Wende Di instantly laughed, ”then you never thought, if I oppose this marriage, what do you want?”
Gu Jiu blinks.
Although she could not influence Lu Hou's decision, she could influence Wende Di's decision!
Biting her teeth, she said, ”my daughter-in-law has heard that the construction of the cement road from Beijing to Hedong has not been smooth. Finally, the progress was very slow. The daughter-in-law is willing to bear all the expenses and food for the last few hundred miles of the mountain road and share the worries for your majesty. ”
Wende was surprised and surprised.
To his surprise, Gu Jiu planned to build roads for the imperial court.
His original intention was to put a nail in Xinmin county to thin the profits of Xinmin county.
However, Gu Jiu's proposal gave Wende a new idea.
Gu Jiu is willing to bear the cost of road construction and food, which is also good!
Xinmin County, you can stay still for the time being.
It's just a surprise that Gu Jiu is not poor this time, but is so generous. Abnormal. It's really abnormal.
On weekdays, when it comes to money, Gu Jiu doesn't care whether others believe it or not. He can cry for poverty more than he is an emperor. He is really angry.
Today, instead of being poor, we are generous in paying for food.
Vander laughed.
”Oh! Are you willing to pay for the last few hundred miles of cement road? ”
”Exactly.”
”Very rich!”
Emperor Wende is very unhappy with me. If you have money and I don't have money, I am not happy. The tone was sour.
Gu Jiuwei said wrongly: ”to tell your majesty, the daughter-in-law really has no money. In order to support the cost of road construction, the daughter-in-law intends to borrow money from the Shao Fu. ”
Poof!
Wende was very angry.
In the final analysis, it is not to use his money to build roads.
What a bully!
Gu Jiu quickly added, ”the daughter-in-law will pay the full amount of interest, but also pay taxes.”
Wendedi's voice finally relaxed.
He snorted, ”if you don't have money, you can borrow money from the young master. What do you think of the young master?”Gu Jiu blinks, of course, as a money bag, what else can it be.
”I don't believe it. After so many years of operation, you don't have money on hand.”
Gu Jiuwei was about to cry, ”my daughter-in-law really has no money. All the money I earned was put into Xinmin County, and my daughter-in-law should pay for the expenses. Your highness can't help at all, but it costs a lot. ”
Hum!
A noble prince, he can't support himself. As the emperor's son and father, shouldn't he feel ashamed?
Can't an emperor be more generous?
No!
Wende's attitude was very firm.
My son, why should he lie on the merit book of his ancestors? It's not a good thing.
Wende Di stares at Gu Jiu suspiciously and says that if there is no money, it must be fake, absolutely false.
”How much money are you going to borrow from the Shao Fu?” he asked
Gu Jiu estimated it with his fingers and carefully said, ”one million taels, is that enough?”
Emperor Wende was so angry that he took the Shaofu bank as his own money bag.
”What do you take to pay back the loan?”
”My daughter-in-law will find a way. There are still several shops in the name of the daughter-in-law, and we should be able to balance some at the end of the year. When it comes to the next year, it will not work. The daughter-in-law will find someone to borrow a little more, so as to ensure that the loan from the Shaofu bank will be returned on time. ”
Wende Di hehe smile, ”you plan to pour is very beautiful.”
Gu Jiu sheepishly smiles, ”in order to share the worries for your majesty, the daughter-in-law will try her best to repair the cement road from the capital to Hedong as soon as possible.”
Wendedi laughed. ”You have a heart.”
Gu Jiu lowered his head, lowered his eyebrows and said, ”to share your worries for your majesty, you should be wholeheartedly.”
It's very beautiful, but Wende didn't believe a word.
This is a deal.
”For your sake, I don't object to the marriage of the Duke of Lu with his family.”
Gu Jiu said with a smile, ”thank you very much! Your majesty
Wen de Di's mouth twitches. He is very suspicious of Gu Jiu's saying that he is magnanimous.
He said casually, ”you are willing to do it for your brother.”
Gu Jiu said with emotion: ”the daughter-in-law has lost her mother since she was a child. She grew up with her brother. The most hopeful thing is to see my brother get married and have children. ”
Wende Di frowns, does Gu Jiu care about her brother so much?
What is the purpose of Gu Jiu's initiative to show his weakness?
Wende Di pondered Gu Jiu's intention and said, ”you are sincere to your brother.”
”The daughter-in-law is a nostalgic person.”
Vander burst out laughing.
Because he has seen through Gu Jiu's intention.
Gu Jiu's initiative to show his weakness is to make Wende emperor feel at ease.
Look, my greatest weakness is there. Your majesty, you can stretch out your fingers and hold my seven inches at any time. The implication was that she had no ulterior motives.
No matter what Lu Hou's plan is, Gu Jia and her Gu Jiu are all the emperor's people. The first-class and the first-class good people will never follow the Marquis Lu.
This is Gu Jiu's greatest sincerity to Wende emperor.
Wende Di nodded with a smile, ”I have received your sincerity. Step back. ”
”Thank you, your majesty.”
