Chapter 557: Spit Silver

The eldest princess also felt uncomfortable for a while, her daughter was still suffering in the border city, but these magnates in the capital could be comfortable in intrigue. Since these people are so idle, I have to make them uncomfortable. The corners of the eldest princess's mouth were slightly hooked, as if she was smiling: "If my father is uneasy in my heart, wouldn't I have let down Bao'er's filial piety, Bao'er wants to guard the border city on behalf of my father and protect the safety of the people of the Chinese Dynasty." There is another matter, and before leaving the capital, he mentioned one thing to his son. She wanted her sons to donate money on her behalf, saying that she wanted to fund the generals in the border city, but at that time, Bao'er was in a hurry and couldn't personally send the items to the border city, so she could only hand over a matter to her sons. Erchen thought that it was time to end the year, and it was time to distribute the ringing silver, so it was better to send the silver donated by Bao'er to the border city, and also make the generals of the border city happy. ”

The eighth prince followed the eldest princess's words and said with respect, "Father, the sons are also willing to donate all the belongings of the sons." Erchen also wanted to do some things for the generals in the border city, looking at these delicacies on the table, thinking of the bitter cold of the border city, the soldiers didn't even have anything to eat, but they had to defend the country. Erchen feels uneasy when he thinks about it! ”

The emperor naturally sighed at the righteousness of Lord Bao and the Eighth Prince, these two people are indeed rare good children. In particular, the lord of Baojun was willing to donate silver, and he didn't care about the prosperous life in the capital at all, and he was not greedy for life and afraid of death like other daughters in the capital. "I can have the granddaughter of Lord Bao, and I am very grateful in my heart. Compared with the righteousness of Lord Bao and the Eighth Prince, I, the emperor, are too selfish. From today onwards, the use of the harem will be halved, and I will do something small for the generals of the border city. ”

The ministers and wives below are all angry and anxious, this treasure county lord is really, he said before that he would donate the proceeds from the sale of Weiyi's sky-high dim sum, and now he wants to donate again. If you don't donate together this time, it seems a little unreasonable. And even the emperor has to halve the use of the harem, if everyone still doesn't express their position, continue to pretend that they don't know. I'm afraid that the emperor will be angry, and everyone will not be happy at that time.

The ministers finally couldn't sit still, and some people began to say that they were willing to donate money, but they did not say how much. The eldest princess just sneered when she heard this, just talking, I'm afraid those people don't want to pay for it at all! But this time, I want to let these people ruin their money, that is, to let them lose all their fat.

"Father, Bao'er originally only donated 50,000 taels of silver, but since everyone is willing to donate silver together to help the generals of the border city. The ministers became the lord of Bao'er, and increased the silver to 200,000 taels, since it was Bao'er who took the lead, Bao'er naturally couldn't donate less than the other ministers. Erchen thought that he was afraid that other Hou Mansion and Guogong Mansion would have to donate three or four hundred thousand taels, and Bao'er donated too little, which made people say that the little family was angry. ”

The eldest princess is a direct general, and the 200,000 taels of silver are a lot. However, the eldest princess has to say less, that is, to force those powerful people to dig out their family funds. These powerful people in the capital eat and drink well, all thanks to the grace of their ancestors. It's a joke that I don't have any money now, and I want to continue to enjoy it. How can there be such a cheap thing, if you want to say that these powerful people in the capital really eat people and don't do anything, they should clean up and clean them up.

Sure enough, the eldest princess's words came out, and the whole face of those magnates turned black, the eldest princess is a set for everyone, and everyone wants to donate no less than 200,000 taels from the lord of Bao, which is not a small number! It's a shame that the eldest princess came up with it, although everyone took it out, but this has to lose a layer of meat! It hurts to think about it, I'm afraid that all provinces will have to have a poor year this year. So some people don't want to donate so much, and they start to think crookedly.

Mrs. Wu Ninghou was the first to feel uncomfortable, and said with a sour face: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the Lord of Bao is willing to donate so much silver, not because the Lord of Bao County has made a fortune by relying on the taste. But the other prefectures don't have that potential, we all live on the money given by the emperor, a large family of hundreds of people to support, where there is so much silver, it is just enough to eat, and we don't lose our faces outside. The eldest princess asked everyone to donate so much silver at once, isn't it embarrassing for us? ”

"That is, the eldest princess, we don't have any silver, we all rely on the idea of the ancestors to live, the family has to be raised, this is the son marrying the daughter-in-law to dowry, and the sister to marry the dowry, the old in the family, the young, how can there be so much silver! The eldest princess can't compare the lord of Bao with everyone, the lord of Bao is the golden branch of the royal family! This family is naturally richer than us, which is incomparable. ”

"No, eldest princess, our family is dragged by the family, it would be good to have food for the whole family, this is still the emperor's grace. If we take the silver again, I'm afraid that the family will not be able to maintain it, and we will not be able to live in peace for several years, the eldest princess, you have to think about it for us, isn't it not easy for us? ”

"That is, all the provinces are not rich, if this is rich, everyone wants to show their faces in front of the emperor, and if they perform well, they will also have a few words of praise from the emperor, but this silver is not forced, if there is no, there is no!"

The eldest princess knew that these people were unwilling to give out the money, and they still wanted to find these unpopular reasons to come out, it was really a shame to be thrown home, and she didn't want to see such a shameless person. The eldest princess looked at the ladies Hou, with a body of pearls, a body of fine clothes, and a piece of jewelry. Just this body is enough for ordinary people to eat for a few lifetimes, but they are still here to call poverty and cry grievances, don't you feel ashamed? However, if some powerful people want face, they are probably not powerful.

"Mrs. Wu Ninghou said as if she was poor, the lord of Baojun relied on labor to make money in business, but it was not Mrs. Wu Ninghou who bought half of the street in the capital and collected rent, I am afraid that Mrs. Wu Ninghou will earn a lot of money! Mrs. Wu Ninghou is really a master of the white wolf with empty gloves, without any effort, she earns such a rich family in a year, and she is embarrassed to say that Bao'er is ashamed of business, and Mrs. Wu Ninghou is really shameful like this. ”

"And Mrs. Pyeongchang, your outfit is the cost of ordinary people for several lifetimes, if Mrs. Pyeongchang doesn't have money to eat, how can she have money to buy these outfits? I heard that a few days ago, Mrs. Wuning Hou had just bought the most expensive set of jewelry in the capital, and I don't know where Mrs. Pingchang Hou got the silver, but it fell from the sky. Why do you have no money to eat when you have money to buy so much jewelry? Don't you feel ashamed? ”

All of a sudden, the mouths of the ladies of the marquis were blocked by the eldest princess, and no one dared to speak, who made everyone who said it impossible to talk back? The eldest princess smiled coldly, she knows best what kind of family this family is, and it is not a shame to be poor at this time. (To be continued.) )
