Chapter 516
The whole hall was eerily quiet.
There was a feeling of sluggishness in everyone.
After a few breaths, the tense atmosphere gradually relaxed, and the expressions of everyone looking at Fu Jun became richer, and there were all kinds of eyes, and in an instant, they really had different expressions and different halls.
What these ladies didn't expect was that Fu Si's net worth was so rich; The second thing I didn't expect was that the 400,000 taels of silver would be donated when he said he would donate it, what was Fu Si thinking in his heart? The third thing I didn't expect was that Fu Si would give such a heavy gift in public on this palace banquet, and these people who were still sitting in the main hall at the moment, what should they do next? Aren't the congratulatory gifts they just gave too simple compared to that?
Can they still say nothing and just go back?
Quite a few frowned.
Fu Jun's sudden congratulatory gift almost put most of the high gates of Jinling City in a difficult situation.
Mrs. Hou used a lot of strength to not immediately jump out and reprimand Fu Jun.
She really didn't expect that Sanfang would have such a big determination, and Fu Jun would donate all her wealth and not leave a penny.
Mrs. Hou's lowered face was already an iron blue.
Since the Zheng family made a fuss about the printing money, Mrs. Hou secretly sent someone to check Fu Jun's property, and checked every shop and every property under his name. When the next person reported the results, Mrs. Hou was also extremely shocked.
According to her estimates, the total output of those shops is at least 300,000 taels of silver. Now Fu Jun has donated 400,000 taels of silver, that is. She sold everything left by the Wang family to make up the remaining 100,000 taels.
At this time, Mrs. Hou really regretted it.
I knew that she would have done it earlier, and now Baihua has donated 400,000 taels of silver, and it is false to say that she is not distressed.
It's just that no matter how distressed Mrs. Hou is at this time, it is useless. This is a congratulatory gift to the three princes, and it also indicates that it will be donated to the charity federation set up by the queen. Looking at the meaning of the two nobles above, this congratulatory gift really won his heart.
Mrs. Hou took a deep breath, got up from her seat, knelt on the ground and said, "Queen Mother." The Queen's Mother. The granddaughter of the courtier violated the rules and lost her manners, and asked the two mothers to forgive her sins. However, the courtiers also felt that the four girls were sincere and loyal to the king's heart, and begged the queen mother and the queen mother to be fulfilled. The Charitable Foundation is the first to be the Queen's mother. Share worries for the monarch and solve problems for the people. It is indeed a great good thing in the world. Pingnan Hou Mansion was originally attached to the queen's mother. Donate 10,000 taels of silver to contribute to the relief of the Northwest Disaster. ”
As soon as Mrs. Hou's words fell, everyone in the audience breathed a sigh of relief. The one by one frowned and tightened the eyebrows, and then flattened down.
Finally, Mrs. Pingnanhou is quite interesting. That's what it sounds like. 10,000 taels is about the same, if you compare the number of 400,000 taels, they really can't be the masters of these inner house women.
And it sounds good for Mrs. Hou to say this. Mrs. Hou and Fu Jun are a family, and Mrs. Hou took over the conversation and then lowered the tone of the matter, which also gave the governments present a buffer.
Listening to Mrs. Hou's words, Fu Jun nodded secretly.
Regardless of how Mrs. Hou is ordinary, her reaction is really fast, and her words are also very beautiful.
First, he did not rob Fu Jun of his credit; The second held the fragrant feet of the queen's mother/mother; The three donated 10,000 taels of silver, setting the tone for the future donations of silver from various provinces, and this amount was also within the acceptable range of most people.
One or twenty thousand pieces of silver, these people can still get it.
Fu Jun's hand clenched into a fist finally let go.
It also depends on how to disperse, and the timing must be right.
Now it seems that the timing is indeed right. The reputation that Fu Jun wanted must have it, and the Pingnan Hou Mansion also followed Xiao Zhen, and Mrs. Hou couldn't say anything after returning home. And the most important thing is that the charitable foundation has benefited greatly, and the Northwest disaster relief does not need to be financed by the treasury.
At this moment, this full moon banquet has finally become the charity banquet that Fu Jun hoped, if it can continue like this in the future, the money in the hands of the nobles of the Han Dynasty can be regarded as a good place to go.
Empress Dowager Chen was already smiling at this time, and said in a loud voice: "Hurry up, Baolou, you go and help me, Mrs. Fu is old, you can't kneel like this." She already laughed out loud when she said that: "Oh, this is really an unexpected thing, the four girls are so hearted, and it is not in vain that the mourning family has loved you for so many years." ”
Xu Hui was also full of smiles, and said, "The queen mother is right." The four girls care about the people, and even donate the dowry, this sincere intention for the country and the people can be called the concubine's shame. This dowry is a woman's reliance for the rest of her life, and the congratulatory gift of the four girls is really sincere. The concubine was so moved that she didn't know what to say. ”
The women of all lives are silent.
The Queen's words are simply too clear.
This mouthful of dowry silver, a mouthful of dependence for the second half of life, what does this mean, can everyone still not understand? The queen's words are to stick a needle in this stool. How can anyone sit still? Anyway, I have to make sense.
So, all the women left the table to donate, and in an instant the hall was full of the voices of women calling out the number of silver taels. Although some people's voices don't sound confident, they can only bite the bullet.
Even if you go home and have to be reproached by the elders or husbands in the family, the queen mother and the queen look at each other with four eyes, do you dare to say that it is not possible to donate only a few hundred taels?
Seeing that everyone was enthusiastically donating, the queen mother was overjoyed, so she called the female official to come over and write down the amount of silver donated by each family, and her face was full of smiles.
Fu Jun had already stood up at this time, and Empress Dowager Chen beckoned to her: "Come, good boy, come to the mourning family." ”
Fu Jun stepped forward according to her words, and Empress Dowager Chen took her hand and said softly: "You kid, why didn't you say it earlier?" Fang just bluffed the mourning family. Saying that, she turned to Mrs. Hou again, and said with a smile: "When the four girls of your family got married, the mourning family prepared this dowry for her. Madame rest assured, she will be able to make the four girls marry beautifully. ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
That's true. People even donated the dowry left by their mother, and if the queen mother didn't care about it, it would be too embarrassing for the royal dignity.
What else can Mrs. Hou say at this time?
Even though her heart was dripping with blood, she could only grit her teeth and smile at this time: "The courtiers thank the four girls for their grace." Although the four girls donated the dowry silver, the Pingnan Hou Mansion still had a dowry, and they didn't dare to break the bank. ”
Empress Dowager Chen smiled and waved her hand and said, "What yours is yours, and what is mourning is what is mourning." This is not to be confused. ”
When everyone heard this, there was another burst of uneven laughter, and the atmosphere in the hall was exceptionally harmonious at this time. (To be continued.) )
