Chapter 1293 I am a Han Chinese
That night, Chen Zhiyuan and Dong'e had a talk. This was the most decent conversation after the two got married.
This made Dong E a little flattered.
As she stared at Chen Zhiyuan, her heart was beating rapidly.
"That...is, I want to ask you to borrow some...silver." Chen Zhiyuan tried hard to spit out the word "silver", and really hoarded great courage in his heart.
In fact, Chen Zhiyuan is not a person who values money, and of course he will not feel embarrassed by asking for money.
But facing Dong'e, Chen Zhiyuan did feel a little "sorry" because Chen Zhiyuan felt a little guilty.
When Dong'e heard this, she showed a kind of joy in her eyes. She knew that if a man opened his mouth to borrow money from a woman, he would definitely treat her as his own person. The three words "our own person" made Dong'e bloom in a heart-blooding way!
"What is the word of the prince? We are husband and wife, how can we borrow words? The people and things in this house are all owned by the prince... I will let Chuntao take it as much as the prince wants."
"Twenty thousand taels."
Dong'e was stunned, 20,000 taels?
Yes, it is true that she is Dorgon's daughter, and it is also the princess of the Qing court, but her annual salary is only more than 600 taels of silver and more than 1,000 stones of rice. This salary is more than enough than ordinary officials, even if she is the head of a government office.
The Luanyi General's Mansion, three-entry courtyard, covers an area of more than seven acres. When we got married, the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple invested in the process, and the money spent was only more than three thousand taels of gold.
But Chen Zhiyuan said 20,000 taels at the beginning of his mouth, which is definitely not a small amount. To be precise, she didn't.
It’s not that there is no such asset, but that there is no such cash bank.
Dong'e's face turned dark. It was not because she was embarrassed and didn't know how to refuse, but because she felt that she was sorry for Chen Zhiyuan, because Chen Zhiyuan spoke to him for the first time, but she couldn't help him.
Chen Zhiyuan-Seeing Dong-e hesitated, knowing that this matter is difficult, and after speaking, he smiled, "It's really hard for you...well, you don't have to worry, I can think of a solution for this matter myself."
Dong'e was just a little guilty at first, but after hearing Chen Zhiyuan's words, he became worried.
No, Chen Zhiyuan is the prince and the third-rank general. Not to mention that in this capital, even if you look at the entire capital, you will probably not need so much money. What else is there to do? It’s not just a matter of his official position and his own power?
Dong'e is not a stupid woman. She is very smart and instantly understands something.
“额驸要这二万两何用?”
Chen Zhiyuan sighed in his heart, knowing that she could react.
"Well... Xiao Qian came today and said that there were a few young and beautiful new apprentices coming to Yanzhi Lane... Oh, I just thought that I was so bored these days, so I went to relax..."
Chen Zhiyuan is talking nonsense. Can he really not make up lies?
No, it is not difficult to make up a natural excuse with his quiet and long-lasting "eloquence", but at this time he was sloppy.
Dong'e looked at Chen Zhiyuan calmly, and she naturally didn't believe it, but she was willing to believe it because she hoped that Chen Zhiyuan would really be just because she was obsessed with the fireworks and willow alleys, so that she would not cause big trouble.
Chen Zhiyuan finally stopped and suddenly felt that it was really boring. Coaxing, even a kind lie, made him feel shameless.
So Chen Zhiyuan looked at Dong'e silently.
Dong'e looked at Chen Zhiyuan silently like Dong'e.
After a long time, a soft sound broke out with a candle wick, awakening the two "incredible people".
"After all, is the prince planning to... take action?"
Chen Zhiyuan is silent.
Dong'e sighed lightly: "Ama told me before that you are a wolf that you cannot raise."
Chen Zhiyuan is silent.
"You haven't thought that if you take this step, you will never look back?"
Chen Zhiyuan or silent.
"Then... where are you... put me?" Dong'e gritted his teeth and asked word by word.
Chen Zhiyuan swallowed with difficulty, opened his mouth dryly, and swallowed it back.
Dong'e looked straight at Chen Zhiyuan, "Why? Is it because I am not good or does Ama not value you enough?"
Chen Zhiyuan shook his head and finally made a voice, "My father-in-law is so kind to me. You... are hard to find in the world!"
"Why?" Dong E's voice became a little hoarse.
Chen Zhiyuan sighed lightly: "I am... Han."
Han people?
Dong'e opened his mouth wide in surprise. After marrying herself, she was a banner owner. How could Chen Zhiyuan still be... Han people?
"I am a Han person." Chen Zhiyuan said calmly and firmly, "My ancestors, my father, too, my home is in Shining Town, the bank of the Cao'e River."
"But is this important?" said Tonoki, "You can take your father to Beijing at any time... Besides, the day of unification of the world is not far away, and the court is also advocating equality of Manchu and Han... For example, you are already a third-rank official and a general holding military power. Even ordinary members of the royal family may not be as prominent as you..."
"But I am still a Han person after all." Chen Zhiyuan's tone was very calm, as if he was saying that the sky outside the house was dark, not dawn.
Dong'e suddenly understood. Ama was right. He was really unfamiliar with his head, a wolf!
Chen Zhiyuan moved his hand and reached out to Dong'e's hand that was placed on the table. Dong'e couldn't help but subconsciously shrank back slightly.
Chen Zhiyuan's hand stopped.
Dong'e suddenly felt regretful. This shrinkage, perhaps what she missed... for the rest of her life, she felt a sudden tearing pain in her heart.
Chen Zhiyuan slowly retracted his hand and smiled bitterly: "The princess actually understands in her heart... Manchu and Han, there is a difference!"
Speaking of this, Chen Zhiyuan slowly stood up, "Prince can go and report me, I... won't blame you!"
....
Chen Zhiyuan left.
Dong'e stiffened like a piece of wood on the stool.
She doesn't know what to do?
Ama is not in the capital, and her brother is still young, and there is not even a person to discuss.
If it is reported, Chen Zhiyuan will die, and she can't bear it.
If it is not reported, wouldn’t it harm Ama and betray his tribe members?
This kind of psychological torment is really hard to make for this young girl who is not very experienced in the world.
But Dong'e figured it out, that is, Chen Zhiyuan came tonight, not really wanting to borrow money, but doing it on purpose. Otherwise, with Chen Zhiyuan's meticulousness, how could he not know that this opening would be like telling her everything?
Dong'e then realized that Chen Zhiyuan was saying goodbye to her...!
....
沉致远确实需要银子,二万两.
But this was not something he had to spend, but something Qian Qianyi asked for.
If Chen Zhiyuan is a slick rogue and Qian Qiaogong is an upright brave man, then Qian Qianyi is a wise man without a bottom line.
Qian Qianyi has some skills, not only his literary talent, but also his experience, connections and wisdom.
This is a bit contradictory, but it is appropriate.
