Chapter 515: No Money to Support

"The grandmother has a heart, and the grandson accepts it."

Liu Zhao's expression was indifferent, and he said that he knew what he meant, but he still insisted on his own opinion and rejected the kindness of the Queen Mother Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned, "Don't forget your identity, you are the eldest grandson."

Liu Zhao lowered his head and smiled, "The grandson understands what the grandmother means. It's just that the grandson thinks that there are not too many children, but whether they can become talents. Even if there are only two or three children, but all of them can become talents, it is not worth being a parent. Cultivation.

Besides, if there are too many children, the grandchildren cannot afford to support them. The grandson's one-year salary plus the rank is not enough to support himself. Once it is used at home, it needs Xiaojiu to manage it. How embarrassed my grandson asked Xiaojiu to pay for me to raise a woman for me. Do this, am I still human? "

puff!

Someone snickered. When he realized something was wrong, he quickly lowered his head and covered his mouth.

Empress Dowager Xiao was furious.

"Aijia heard for the first time that the dignified prince can't even support a few women."

However, Liu Zhao said: "Grandmother, raising a woman is not something you can eat in one bite. You have to provide a yard to live in, you have to arrange for servants to serve, clothes for the four seasons, monthly schedules, and rewards for festivals.

To raise one more woman is equal to the cost of ten more people. With ten more women, there will be an extra cost of one hundred people. Food, clothing, and housing should not be given away at will, and the royal servants must also have the dignity of the royal family. This means that the overhead is multiplied.

At a rough glance, raising a woman is a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, but in fact, all the accounts cannot withstand careful calculation. After careful calculation, this is where a woman is raised, it is clearly a gold-swallowing beast, and it is a gold-swallowing beast without a dowry. "

puff!

In the hall, several female relatives were very happy.

They suddenly discovered that the cold-hearted and cold-faced Highness actually has such an understanding side. It was completely the voice of a woman.

Those concubines raised in the backyard not only consume money and food, but also worry everywhere. More than a gold swallowing beast, it is clearly a life reminder. Urging the man to die, also urging the mistress to die. Neither are good things.

After the fun, the female relatives began to envy Gu Jiu again.

How lucky is Gu Jiu to meet His Highness.

How come I am not lucky enough to meet a caring husband.

Empress Dowager Xiao said angrily, "You are just arguing.

According to what you said, men all over the world should not keep concubines, and don't say that they are blessed with many children. "

Liu Zhao smiled and said, "It's not necessarily the case that many sons are more blessed. It is certain that many sons and more disputes. All families with many sons, after two generations, will most likely fail if they do not encounter great opportunities.

Just because a family with many children is divided, a huge family can be turned into a broken house. Even if the entire family is not divided, in terms of money, it is getting poorer and poorer. The grandmother might as well think about it, those big families that have been passed down for hundreds of years have not been able to pass it down because they uphold the protection of the direct branch, give up the partial house of the concubines, and even suck blood from the partial house of the concubines to support the direct branch. Decades later, the concubines are destined to have no good end. Why did they raise so many women and give birth to so many concubines in the first place. "

"Absurd. Can those families be compared with the royal family? The royal family is rich in the world, and they can't even support a few women and children. It's a big joke in the world."

Empress Dowager Xiao was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

Today, Liu Zhao speaks a lot, and has changed his temperament of cherishing words like gold in the past.

After listening to Empress Dowager Xiao's words, he laughed, "The grandmother should talk to the royal father, whether the royal family is really rich in the world, and whether it has money, I believe no one can know better than the royal father.

The grandson and several brothers are still living under one roof, not because they have no money. If you don't have money, save a little. Why raise some useless women to consume money and food. "

The Queen Mother Xiao snorted coldly, "In the end, you just don't want to take a concubine. You are protecting Gu Jiu."

Liu Zhao said as a matter of course: "Xiao Jiu married her grandson with a generous dowry, managed the house, and made money to support her family. The grandson should give her respect.

It makes no sense that the grandson doesn't feel bad for the wife who brings a dowry to the door, but rather feels bad for the woman who not only does not have a dowry, but also consumes money and food to cause trouble.

Such a woman, grandson can't see how good it is. The children born are also concubines, which can be compared to the golden ones. "

These words, the Second Highness, the Third Highness, the Fifth Highness and the Sixth Highness, as well as the two descendants of the county magistrate, did not like to hear it very much.

Liu Zhao's words knocked over half the room.

Many people changed their faces, but they couldn't bear it.

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled coldly, "Ai's family is also a concubine for the late emperor. Your father, the emperor, is also a concubine. What's the matter, isn't your father emperor comparable to the deceased Prince Renxuan?"

"Grandson dare not!"

"What are you afraid of? You don't mean to look down on the concubine, the concubine's room. Aijia is also a concubine. Do you look down on Aijia?"

"The emperor's grandmother is the mother and the queen dowager, and is the direct wife, and the father is naturally the direct son."

Empress Dowager Xiao chuckled, "You can make excuses. After all, you just don't look down on the woman arranged by Aijia, and you just don't look down on Aijia in your heart. You unfilial son."

"The grandmother's words are serious." Liu Zhao put away his smile and his eyes were a little serious.

The Empress Dowager Xiao snorted, "You are just relying on your status as the heir apparent and don't take others seriously. You are a bastard."

Liu Zhao was expressionless.

Gu Jiu frowned.

Liu Zhao's remarks on the concubines clearly stung Empress Dowager Xiao's sensitive nerves.

At that time, she failed to compete with Empress Ruizhen Cui, which was a shame for her life. What if you are the concubine Shu, not a concubine.

Finally, her son ascended the throne and became emperor, and she became the mother and empress dowager. Before she could enjoy it for a few days, her grandson came to stimulate her again.

Empress Dowager Xiao took the opportunity to attack, clearly to take the opportunity to teach Liu Zhao and Gu Jiu and his wife a lesson.

Gu Jiu wanted to stand up and defend Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao obviously expected her move long ago, and waved his hands secretly, not allowing her to come forward.

"The grandson is indeed a bastard. If the grandmother is not happy, she might as well beat the grandson to vent her anger on the last day of the thirty-eighth year of Kaiyao. Tomorrow is the first day of the first month of the first year of Wende, a new beginning. Ning Gong should also have a new look."

Liu Zhao is neither humble nor arrogant, a dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, and you can handle it as you please.

There is a bit of Wende's roguelike energy.

The Empress Dowager Xiao pointed at him, "Okay, very good. Then you can go outside and kneel. You are not allowed to get up if Aijia doesn't tell you to get up. Otherwise, you will be unfilial."

"Mother, it's not appropriate to celebrate the New Year today," Huyang County Master whispered.

The Empress Dowager Xiao angrily rebuked the Huyang County Master, "Didn't you hear, he is disgusting you for being a concubine, and you still speak for him?"

"Thank you aunt, it's embarrassing for my aunt. My nephew is going to kneel outside." Liu Zhao was very straightforward, flicked his sleeves, and went out directly. Kneel down to the ground and keep your back straight.

this this this...

How can it be like this during the New Year's Eve.

The Huyang County Lord whispered, "I am a descendant, and I can only become a descendant if I am lucky."

"What did you say?" The Empress Dowager Xiao was in a bad mood.

The Huyang County Master was afraid that Empress Dowager Xiao would be angry, and denied it, "Daughter didn't say anything. It's New Year's Eve, and Empress Mother is happy."

Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at her and turned her elbows out, not knowing what ecstasy soup Gu Jiu had given her.

Empress Dowager Xiao looked for Gu Jiu in the crowd, but found no one.

"Where's Gu Jiuren?"

"Sister-in-law was still here just now." Ouyang Fu whispered.

Empress Dowager Xiao was annoyed, "Call her in."

Gu Jiu must have run out to find Liu Zhao.

That's right, as soon as Liu Zhao left, Gu Jiu also followed out of the hall.

Seeing Liu Zhao kneeling on the ground, she frowned, which made someone put a cushion under Liu Zhao's knee.

Liu Zhao was still stubborn, "No need."

Gu Jiu was unhappy, "In the winter, even if it is an iron wall, kneeling like this will hurt your knees. The Queen Mother didn't tell you to use a mat, so what does it matter if I send you a mat."

Liu Zhao pursed his lips, his expression rigid.

Gu Jiu ignored it and asked someone to hold him up, then put the cushion under his knees.

Then she said with a stern face: "I also expect you to live healthy and healthy until you are seventy or eighty years old. Don't get rheumatism at a young age, and your knees will hurt when the weather is cloudy and rainy.

I can tell you that I hate serving people the most, and I won't serve them. If you really have rheumatism, I don't care if you live or die. "

Liu Zhao lowered his head and smiled, "You really dare to say that."

"You dare to do it, are you afraid of what I say? There is a better way to solve it, why do you want to anger the queen mother?"

Gu Jiu didn't understand Liu Zhao's approach.

Today's matter, the topic can be completely controlled in the aspect of having no money to support women, and there is no need to involve the concubines.

However, Liu Zhao chose to discuss the issue of the descendant. The Queen Mother Xiao only asked Liu Zhao to kneel, which was already a kindness.

However, Liu Zhao said, "If I don't mention the difference between descendants, the same situation will come two or three times a year in the future. If you don't get tired of it, I'm tired of it. It's better to take this opportunity to tell the truth."

"But the timing of your choice is really bad. Isn't it fun to be happy this New Year?" Gu Jiu felt a little distressed.

Liu Zhao smiled at her, "Others are happy, but you are unhappy, my Highness is not happy. My Highness would rather everyone be unhappy, as long as you are happy alone."

Gu Jiu's cheeks were red, and her whole body was a little hot.

She looked at him and licked her lips subconsciously, not knowing what to say.

She really wanted to hug him, to tell him that she was very happy, very happy. This is the best New Year's gift she has ever received.

"Madam, the Empress Dowager invites you to come in and speak."

When the atmosphere was strong, a palace maid came out and broke the tacit understanding between the two.

Gu Jiu: "..." It's a pity that the palace maid came at an untimely time.

Liu Zhao smiled at her, "Go, I'm fine."

Gu Jiu bit her lip, "Wait for me, I'll find a way."

"Don't be impulsive."

"I'm never impulsive."

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, and returned to the main hall with the palace maid.
