Chapter 1077 Borrowing Money
The Jiujianxian thought for a while and said calmly: "This is my first time getting married, but I don't know much about the details of these wedding customs. When I was playing in the human world, I sneaked into the wedding banquet of a wealthy family and secretly drank the eighteen-year-old wine. Ner Hong, I have personally witnessed the weddings of wealthy families in the world."
Touching the head of the little snake spirit coiled up beside him, the latter closed his eyes comfortably. Jiujianxian smiled and said: "I have lived a long life. With the lifespan of the human race, I have reached the age of being a father." , I understand how important the etiquette of marriage is to girls’ families. It is a beautiful memory that they will remember throughout their lives. Even if you don’t say it, Pindao will do his best to prepare a glorious wedding for each of them! "
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor was stunned. This was not the answer she wanted. As far as she knew, the Jiu Sword Immortal was a poor ghost immortal. Apart from the tattered clothes on his body, the wine gourd and a long sword on his back, he had nothing. assets.
Luo Feng encouraged her through the earphones and taught her to use the gift as a chance to blackmail the Shushan sect's Taoist secrets of the Jiu Sword Immortal. That's why she was so interested in marrying her daughter, but she didn't expect that the old Taoist would act like a confident rich man. , greatly exceeded expectations.
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor tilted his head and said suspiciously: "The standards for the emperor's marriage to a daughter must not be low. If you don't have hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, you will definitely not be able to do it. Naturally, the emperor will not be stingy with the dowry, but the dowry also requires the daughter to marry. I won’t give it to you until I get there, so where did you get the money to get married with a beautiful dress that lasts for ten miles?”
Jiujianxian spread his hands and said: "Pindao really has no money...but...it's not like he can't find ways to raise money."
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor quickly interjected: "I have just copied the Song Dynasty treasury and the royal inner treasury. I can give it to you, as long as you take the Shushan sect's cultivation secret book..."
"Don't even think about it!"
Jiujianxian sneered: "Pindao was fooled once that year, how could he be fooled a second time? You gave the Shushan sect's secret book to a demon in exchange for money. Do you really think that Pindao is crazy? After getting the money, Pindao has his life." That’s weird, I’m afraid I’m going to be struck to death by a thunderbolt dropped by the ascended masters of Shu Mountain at the wedding!”
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor saw through his thoughts and said angrily: "Then how do you raise money? You know that I have a very good appetite and can eat people very quickly. You don't have much time!"
The Jiujianxian said: "This has nothing to do with you, I will figure it out for myself!"
The Demon Emperor was so angry that he sat on the throne and stamped his feet. He wanted to continue to force him and insisted that he must give the secret book as a gift, but he still held back and did not say anything.
Once she said it, her disguise of kindness and filial piety was completely exposed, and both parties were at odds. Marrying her daughter became selling her daughter. In the end, she would lose all her personal wealth and gain nothing.
Dedicated female fairies don't talk about national justice and are quite generous in pursuing love. The Demon King uses them like objects and threatens their lovers in ways that violate the bottom line of their lovers. It is very likely that they will directly rebel against the demon clan without any hesitation. He eloped with Jiujianxian.
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor is also a somewhat humane ghost. Originally, it would be a good thing to marry a daughter to repay her godfather. If this good thing is spoiled by coveting the Shushan sect's cultivation method, it will be unsightly. Not only will the kindness not be repaid, but also the relationship will be formed Hatred is not good for her subsequent plans.
Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, the Heavenly Ghost Emperor crossed his arms and crossed his legs, saying: "Okay! I will give you three days to prepare. If you can't raise the tribute gift or hold the wedding ceremony after three days, I will come out." The money will help you organize one, but all the dishes at the wedding banquet must be cooked with the human flesh of the Song Dynasty royal family!"
The Ghost King's evil intention to win over Jiujianxian has not died yet. Even if this old poor man cannot afford the gift, his daughter will still marry him. What he values is the old Taoist's peak combat power in the human world.
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor has already made plans. Even if he spends money, he will hold a grand wedding that will shock the human world, and he must make this matter known to the whole world.
What would people think if everyone in the world knew that Jiujianxian became the son-in-law of the demon tribe and married seven charming demon princesses?
Everyone will definitely believe that the hero of the Jiujianxian was saddened by the beauty barrier, shamelessly betrayed the human race and joined the demon side!
Even if Jiu Jianxian jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to escape. Even if he wanted to be loyal to the human race and contribute to the human race, he would not be accepted. Instead, he would be ostracized, suppressed, and might even be hunted down.
At that time, the plan of instructing the seven little banshees to blow the pillow wind and drag the disgraced Jiujianxian into the demon camp may really succeed!
The Jiujianxian made an agreement with the Heavenly Ghost Emperor. Three days later, he would come with tribute gifts to formally propose marriage and marry the seven princesses. Both parties signed and signed the marriage contract. The old Taoist hurriedly turned around and left the hall to find a way to raise the funds. money.
He pulled out the flying sword and was about to step on it when he saw him flying into the air. Only then did the Jiujianxian remember that he was holding up his pants with his other hand, and he couldn't control the flying sword with one hand.
Just as he was embarrassed, a small golden snake swam out from the palace, climbed up the Jiujianxian's legs with familiarity, wrapped around his waist, bit the tail with its mouth, and turned into a golden belt.
The little banshee was so gentle, considerate and sensible. The Jiujianxian felt warm in his heart. He lovingly touched the slightly cold snakeskin belt, controlled the flying sword to take off and galloped towards the south.
How can the Jiujianxian raise a huge betrothal gift?
In fact, he didn't have many ways to raise money. The only way he could find a way out was to borrow money from a rich friend.
Jiujianxian has many friends, but there are only two who can take out hundreds of thousands of taels of gold at a time. One is Nangong Huang, the master of Shi Wei, and the other is Jing Xiaolou, the most prodigal son in the world.
The Jiujianxian did not plan to go to the territory of the Shiwei clan. The Shiwei territory was located in the northern grassland. Even if it took three days to drive a flying sword, it would be difficult to travel back and forth. Moreover, Shiwei was a grassland nation, and the territory was barren and the country was in embarrassment. Unless Nangong Huang embezzled the treasury, Silver, Wei Guo's savings can be used to help Jiujianxian collect one hundred thousand taels of gold.
Given Huang Daxian's loyal character, he would definitely try his best to help Jiujianxian raise money to get married, but this would cause too much trouble to his friends, and Jiujianxian would really feel bad about it.
Jing Xiaolou is also a loyal person, and the Jing family is the second richest family in the world. It should not be difficult to come up with hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. Jiu Jianxian is forced to have no choice but to eat his rich family and beg him to lose again. Home at once.
Worried that it would be too late to go back and all the Song royal family would be eaten up by the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, the Wine Sword Immortal traveled long and hard at night. In the middle of the night when the sky was dark, it took half a day to rush back to the Shushan base camp from Chang'an.
He drove the flying sword and landed directly at the door of Jing Xiaolou's room in Shushan Camp. Through the window, he saw candlelight lighting up inside. There was a figure sitting at the desk reading at night with a candle. Jiu Jianxian opened the door and walked in.
Jing Xiaolou was sitting in front of the desk, correcting official documents. When he heard the door, he looked up and saw Jiu Jianxian walking in. He was also stunned and said: "Brother Situ, why are you back? What's the situation in Chang'an?" "
The Jiujianxian flew for a long time and was exhausted. He pulled up a stool and sat next to Jing Xiaolou. He picked up the teapot on the table and took a big sip of tea.
"The people of Chang'an are fine for the time being, and the demons have kept their promise. The royal family and dignitaries have suffered a disaster. They have all been captured by the demons and used as military rations!"
Jiu Jianxian said in a hoarse voice: "I'll tell you more about the situation in Chang'an later. Brother Jing, I need some money for something urgent. Can you lend it to me?"
Jing Xiaolou smiled and said: "Borrow money? Haha, I must have taken a fancy to some high-priced wine. You can borrow or not, I can spend whatever I want. By the way, how much do you need? , so that I can let the butler prepare it."
The Jiujianxian looked embarrassed. Although he usually liked to borrow a bottle or two of good wine from others and was not too thin-skinned, he was a little embarrassed to borrow hundreds of thousands of taels of gold all at once. He held it in for a long time before saying: "Brother, To be honest, I want to borrow money to marry my wife, and the other party wants a gift of hundreds of thousands of taels of gold..."
Jing Xiaolou frowned and said: "Brother, are you kidding me or did I hear it wrong? Aren't you a Taoist priest? Why are you getting married all of a sudden? Also, the bride price is hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, which is not even needed to marry a princess. That’s a lot of money, right?”
"This...it's a long story...now that time is limited, I can't go into details."
Jiujianxian said with a bitter face: "Brother, I'm not joking, I really need so much money. The other party has set a time limit. If I can't get the money within three days, everything will be over."
Jing Xiaolou sighed and said: "Brother Situ, you know how I am. Even if I go bankrupt to help my friends, I won't even blink an eye. It's a pity that the League of Heroes just suffered a huge defeat, and more than 3,000 people died in the battle. I have to pay this compensation." I've emptied all the Jing family's pension fund, hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, and I really can't come up with it now, I'm really sorry."
The Jiujianxian was very disappointed and said with a helpless smile: "Oh, it's me who should be sorry. I wasted half my life and didn't even save a wife. When I'm old, I still want to marry a wife. Oh my god. Even if I can't pass it, set a level for me that I can't pass. This is my destiny..."
Jing Xiaolou patted Jiujianxian on the shoulder and advised: "Brother, don't be discouraged. Getting a wife is a great joy. How can you give up because of this little setback? If there are any difficulties, can't you just find a way to solve them? How about saving it?" Go borrow it from the richest man Luo. The gold and silver he has accumulated seems to be endless. Just in the battle with Dugu Yuyun on the top of Shushan Mountain, he lost millions of taels of gold and tens of millions of taels of silver. He is also not very good. A generous person who cares about money will just throw away hundreds of thousands of taels of gold."
"Asking him to borrow money? I might as well go to the Lord of Hell to borrow money!"
It was okay not to mention Luo Feng. As soon as he was mentioned, Jiujianxian suddenly became angry and said angrily: "That profiteer is a character who doesn't want to suffer! The poor Taoist drank the wine he ordered and was raided. Shushan Sect and He borrowed some money to appease the dead and wounded, and he took care of his old nest. If I find him again this time, I don’t know how he will manipulate me!"
Jing Xiaolou shrugged and said with a smile: "Brother, the Shushan sect has been requisitioned by the human race guard army, and all the secrets of the sect are in his pocket. No matter how treacherous he is, he can't take anything away from you, right? You are now full of body The only valuable thing left is more than a hundred kilograms of distiller’s grain meat, so what are you afraid of? I can’t sell you to a brothel to pay off the debt.”
