Then he smiled at Cui Yan and said, "My dear, how much does it cost to buy the mansion you mentioned?"
When Cui Yan heard this, her in-laws were very excited and said: "We are all one family, so why talk about money! This will be used as the dowry!"
Zhang Ning said: "There is no reason for your family to pay for it, we must pay for this house!"
Niu Gui also said: "Father-in-law, this marriage is a matter between two families, and it cannot be your family's responsibility. If you feel sorry for Cui Ying, just go with more dowry! Just tell me how much this house will cost!"
Cui Yan could only say: "It cost tens of millions of dollars to build!"
In this era, land was not very valuable, and it was impossible for a house to have more than ten floors. In fact, the highest house in this house was only three floors, and most of them only had one floor. But the reason why it was so expensive was because it used a lot of Nanzhong sandalwood, these precious woods have pushed up housing prices.
Not daring to hear the price, Xu Hao, Zhang Ning and others were all shocked. The price was so high that they felt outrageous!
Xu Hao was shocked: "A mansion like this is enough to buy one of Daqian's latest battleships!"
This is as shocking as modern people hearing that one house in Shanghai is enough to buy an aircraft carrier!
On the contrary, Xu Wei came from the era of high housing prices in later generations and understood that it is normal for housing prices in the capital to be higher.
Zhang Ning thought for a moment and said: "We paid for this!"
Although the price is expensive, they can still afford it!
But Xu Hao suddenly stood up and said: "I don't agree! The price of this house is so high. Even if you help the child buy it, the child cannot afford such a big mansion with his salary of more than 20,000 yuan, and the child is a senior navy officer. An officer lives in a mansion worth tens of millions, how does this make the child's subordinates view the child?"
Cui Yan did not expect this scene to happen and said awkwardly: "Don't worry, my virtuous son-in-law. Cui Ying will help my virtuous son-in-law arrange the family affairs, and I will definitely not let my virtuous son-in-law worry about it!"
But Xu Hao said: "Cui Ying and I are both adults. After we get married, we should live independently. If we still rely on family, what kind of independence is this? My salary is 20,000, Cui Ying's salary is 2,000, we Even if you want a house, it must be within your financial ability. If you keep relying on your parents' assistance, won't you just be eating your old age!"
Accepting a house from his parents was nothing, but after acquiring this house, his income could not support him at all, and he needed support from his parents, which made it difficult for Xu Hao to accept it.
Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "Then let's just buy them a small three-bedroom apartment. Xu Hao, as an officer of Daqian, living in a mansion will have a bad influence! And it's just an engagement now, so buying a house later won't have much impact!"
Xu Weidu said this, and others could only agree.
After everyone's discussion, the engagement time was set in three days. This was the time that Zhang Ning and Zhang Lu calculated. The day after three days was the most auspicious day in the year.
Niu Gui smiled and said: "It's just that the time for the engagement is a bit tight. Even though there are not as many etiquettes as before, the time is still too tight. We have watched Xu Hao grow up, and all the brothers must want to drink it." Xu Hao’s wedding, but now I’m afraid they haven’t gotten the news, and it will be difficult for them to get here.”
Xu Wei waved his hand and said: "As long as you have your heart set on it, just invite the old brothers in Jidu over for a drink. Extravagance and waste are not our habit!"
Weddings held by senior officials in Da Gan are extremely simple. Firstly, Xu Wei is opposed to such extravagance and waste. Secondly, most of them are married for the second time, and they don't want the whole world to know about it.
Three days later, Xu Wei's compound was bustling with colorful flags flying.
Xu Wei invited all his old brothers in Jidu, as well as some of his students. The Cui family was also cautious and only invited some of their own relatives! These people totaled less than a hundred people. Xu Wei was here There are 10 banquet tables set up in the courtyard!
And all the old brothers in Jidu also came with gifts!
It can be said that since the establishment of the Daqian court, each of these old brothers has held a high position of power. Brothers in the court can still see each other frequently, but in the local area, old brothers often do not see each other for several years.
Days like today where there are so many people are really rare.
Xu Weilai's senior management gathered at a table and said happily to them: "It's been a long time since we all got together like today."
Yang Feng smiled and said: "Yes, now that everyone is in a high position, it is very difficult to get together. If we weren't all old, we might not even be able to catch Xu Hao's wedding banquet!"
Huang Long looked at Xu Wei and smiled and said: "But you look very young when you are in power. Even if you say you are 30 years old, some people would believe you!"
】
Huang Long was the older one among the old brothers, almost seventy years old, but he retired after the fall of the Han Dynasty, and even gave up Xu Wei for a civil service position.
He said that his revenge had been avenged and he had fought enough wars. Now he just wanted to have a good rest. Huang Long had been working as a farmer in the suburbs of Jidu these years. He lived a leisurely life and often got together with Xu Wei.
Zhang Baiqi also smiled and said: "Huang Long is right, your appearance now is no different from the first time we met!"
When Xu Wei traveled to this world, he was only 20 years old. Now almost 30 years have passed, but because he takes good care of himself and exercises regularly, he looks similar to a middle-aged man, and his condition is also different. very.
But the other old brothers are different. Yang Feng was also a handsome man back then, and was still in the golden age of his life when he met Xu Wei. Now 30 years have passed, and the aging has been clearly visible. It can be said that Xu Wei and others are Almost all the old brothers have white hair.
Even those who are slightly younger are still gray-haired. After all, decades of war have caused great damage to the body, and after they became the prefects and governors of a place, they were even more exhausted. On the contrary, Xu Wei has only taken care of some big officials in these years. Policy matters, preventing the development direction of Daqian from deviating, do not require too much effort, but are in the best condition among them.
Lei Damu thought for a while and asked: "In power, does Lao Niu really want to retire? Let's forget about retirement. Anyway, we are old. As the power said, we can just live a happy life for a few days! But Lao Niu is now He is less than 60 years old, and there are still more than ten years left before retirement, and the old man is doing well in these years. The strength of Daqian is obvious to all, and there will be no problem for the old man to work for another ten years!"
