Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 611

"My son-in-law's betrothal gift... one hundred thousand gold!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent!

The sound of gasping for air came out piece by piece!

No matter the common people, the officials or the emperor, they were all terrified and speechless.

Everyone looked at Cao Cao with shocked eyes.

Cao Cao straightened his chest, inexplicably proud!

"Ahahaha! Son-in-law! Don't want it, don't you want it! You have a hundred thousand gold, and you know how many big families can't get it!"

"Although my Qing'er is the prime minister's daughter, she can't bear such a large betrothal gift! One hundred thousand gold, that's one billion copper coins! Back then, the entire Wang family's property was only 30 to [-] gold!"

"Who's daughter can marry so much money throughout the ages? This is impossible! Otherwise, brothers and sisters will have to spend a lot of money to marry daughters and wives in the future?"

"This is an act that corrupts the morale. Don't do it again in the future! Otherwise, it will be recorded in the annals of history, and people in future generations will criticize me! This time, my father-in-law will forgive you for the time being!"

Cao Cao has an old face and smiles like an old chrysanthemum!

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched wildly, and they all raised their middle fingers in their hearts.

Don't look at Cao Cao accusing Xia Houzhe of his bad intentions on the surface, but he is actually showing off to them:

'Did you see it?You don't have so much dowry when you marry your daughter in the future, are you embarrassed to make a move?Look at my Cao family daughter, the sky-high price! '

That smug look makes people want to throw a few rotten eggs!

Xia Houzhe curled his lips, Cao Cao is a typical bitch and wants to set up a chastity memorial archway!

But Lolita's daughter-in-law is still in the hands of the manufacturer, so Xia Houzhe just bear with it!

When the daughter-in-law is in hand, I'm sorry... Then the couple will go to violently press the debt together!

"My father-in-law taught me that, but getting married is a major event in life, so don't be careless!"

Xia Houzhe sighed, I am afraid that the expensive betrothal gifts in later generations are all made by Cao Cao, a group of comparison guys!

Although it is possible to establish a dowry law to stipulate that the dowry cannot exceed the amount, it is actually useless!

If you don't give the amount to satisfy the other party, if they don't marry their daughter, what can your government do?

"By the way, father-in-law! This time, my son-in-law has prepared hardware as a gift. I hope father-in-law will not refuse!"

Xia Houzhe cupped his hands pretentiously.

Cao Cao grinned.

"Hardware? What hardware? You don't need to pay for gold and silver jewelry, I, Cao Cao, pay for it myself! That's only a few dollars! It's my gift for my daughter!"

Xia Houzhe pulled out his backhand and took out a big box!

Shake it vigorously, and there is a clanging sound inside!

Cao Cao took the box in doubt, and everyone turned their heads to look sideways, wanting to see what treasure it was.

Cao Cao mysteriously opened the box and took a closer look, completely stunned.

"Fuck! Hammer? Wrench? Screwdriver? Vise? File?"

"The hardware you're talking about... is this hardware? I'm on a horse..."

Everything in the box was made by Xia Houzhe according to the appearance of later generations.

He was afraid that Cao Cao would not know him, so he kindly pasted a small note with his name on it.

No, Cao Cao recognized him immediately!

He felt that he had to fight for something for the future generations, otherwise when the future generations mentioned hardware, it would be gold and silver jewelry!

Isn't it good to send a set of tools?

In daily life, the couple can repair things together!It can cultivate feelings and be affordable!

After seeing the contents of the box clearly, everyone suppressed their laughter and their faces were flushed.

Cao Chun didn't think too much about it, so he spoke directly.

"Brother! This kid Yuan Yi gave you this thing...why does it look like a craftsman's tool?"

This sentence is like adding insult to injury, Cao Cao's teeth itch in anger.

But before he got angry, Xia Houzhe's next sentence diverted his attention.

"You know what a fart! Pick it up and see what material this hardware is made of!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao glanced suspiciously.

Is there no secret?

Then he stretched out his hand to pick it up and weighed it, and the whole person was shocked in place, and his mouth let out a violent roar.

"Damn it! So soft and light! Is this platinum (aluminum)? Is this pedal made entirely of platinum? And it's still so pure?"

"I've lived my whole life, and I've only seen inferior platinum once, and I don't know how many impurities are on it! But it was also regarded as a treasure by the late emperor!"

"There are so many in here... Hey! I'm posting! I'm going to post it!"

Cao Cao's expression changed instantly, and all the dissatisfaction in his heart dissipated, and his whole body trembled with excitement.

Everyone was shocked when they heard his roar!

Xun Yu, Guo Jiaju, and his confidants who had played well, hurried over to pick it up and weigh it for inspection.

At first glance...the faces of several people suddenly changed!

"Fuck! This is really platinum! And the purity is extremely high! Such a strange thing is priceless, even more expensive than the original Ye Mingzhu!"

"This betrothal gift... hiss... I'm afraid no one can surpass it!"

The audience was silent again, everyone was queuing up to watch this platinum product, wanting to feast their eyes!

Looking at the shape of the hammer, everyone sighed and felt that it was a waste.

If it is made into jewelry, it may directly become the most precious wonder in the world!

Xia Houzhe smiled inscrutably, and was very satisfied with everyone's expressions!

Aluminum in this era is extremely precious, many times more expensive than gold!

Because no one knows how to refine it, and there are very few pure natural ones, let alone those with such high purity.

You know, even Napoleon III was so precious when he got an aluminum bowl!

I carry it with me wherever I go, and I have to eat in an aluminum bowl for every meal, and take out a plate when I have nothing to do.

It can be seen how precious aluminum is at this time!

In the eyes of Cao Cao and the others, it is the most precious and noble metal!

Cao Cao held a wrench in his left hand and a hammer in his right, looking as happy as a 40-year-old child.

Not only that, he also danced live in front of civil and military officials to show his happiness!

"Father-in-law, do you know if you are satisfied with this hardware gift for my son-in-law?"

Xia Houzhe looked at Cao Cao playfully.

Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, proudly holding up the toolbox.

"Satisfied! Very satisfied! Gou Hu, quickly record it, I, Cao Cao married my daughter and got a hardware package!"

"Be sure to publish the style, material and meaning in the newspaper! I want the world to see how grand my son-in-law is!"

Xun Yu nodded enviously.

"My lord, what's the meaning of this thing? If you don't tell me, how can I write it?"

Cao Cao immediately waved his hand: "This is your business, you can think for yourself!"

"What, son-in-law! Quick! Come in and have a seat!"

Cao Cao threw himself on top of the cash box and started unloading, calling Xia Houzhe to enter the house.

Xia Houzhe shook his head: "Pull it down! Hurry up and unload the things, I have to go to the old Lu's house to catch up! I'm busy!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao hastened to unload the goods!

Looking at the box after box of money, and the envious eyes of everyone.

Cao Cao's vanity was greatly satisfied!

He could have imagined that Cao Cao would shock the whole world as soon as the newspaper published it the next day!

A daughter was sold...cough, married for a billion dollars!There is also a priceless set of platinum tools!

This is the most expensive daughter ever!

After leaving Cao Cao's mansion, Xia Houzhe went back to pack boxes and rushed to the scene!

Every family went to the betrothal gift, which was basically [-] gold plus a set of hardware products.

Only when I went to Mi's house... Mi's house gave me a lot of dowry!

Women who haven't been married on 23 and [-] these days are all old women!

I am very happy to be able to send it to the Mi family!

And...you don't have to pay poll tax to Mi Zhen every year...

Today's hustle and bustle didn't end until late at night, Xia Houzhe was lying on the bed with a tired look on his face.

Time flies and a few days have passed.

Today is his big day!

For the important matter of his taking in a wife, Xiahoudun ran back from Wancheng at full speed.

After all, both of Xia Houzhe's parents died, and now there is only one elder brother!

An elder brother is like a father, today's Xiahou Dun is equivalent to Xiahouzhe's father, sitting firmly on the high hall!

Early in the morning, it was still dark.

Xueyan, who was wearing a red bridal attire, quietly walked into Xia Houzhe's room, and whispered into his ear.

"Husband, the auspicious time is coming soon, get up and meet the kiss!"

Chapter 709

Xia Houzhe looked at the sky, then looked at the beautiful and well-behaved Xueyan in surprise.

"Huh? Didn't I arrange for you to wait for me to pick you up at the old house? Why did you come here by yourself?"

It turned out that Xueyan was sent back to the old house by Xia Houzhe seven days ago.

After all, there is a process of picking up the kiss and getting into the sedan chair!

The other party's appearance here now really surprised him.

Xueyan smiled sweetly, and waved her hands quite openly.

"Young master! I thought about it, Xueyan has no relatives. Since she was rescued by the young master when she was a child, I only have you as a relative!"

"So wherever the young master is, my home will be there! And the young master will be very busy today, I think... If I come here by myself, the young master can save some time to pick up other sisters, so there is no need to be in such a hurry!"

Hearing Xueyan's words, Xia Houzhe was deeply touched!

This girl grew up with him since she was a child, and she felt a little distressed for being sensible.

No matter what he does, Xia Houzhe is always the most important in the other party's heart, and the one who thinks of the least!

"You girl! Marriage is such a once-in-a-lifetime event, how can you be hasty? Do you want my sedan chair to be carried by no one?"

Xia Houzhe pretended to be angry, and pinched the opponent's nose, showing his pampering expression.

This action made Xueyan wrinkle her nose and stick out her tongue.

"Slightly slight! Young master, I have always regarded myself as your personal maid! I am very lucky to be able to wear a wedding dress to marry you! I never thought that I would have this day!"

"From now on, I can always be by my side with the young master, I'm very satisfied! I don't need to carry a big sedan chair to get married! How can I, a little maid, compare with Qing'er and Lingqi!"

"All of them are much, much taller than me. They are either the daughters of the prime minister or the daughters of marquises, or they are all talented women..."

Xia Houzhe sighed for a while, this girl came from a humble background and didn't have the support of her natal family.
