"Father-in-law Feng has been busy with affairs these days, and he must be tired, so the old man will leave first!" With that, Zhang Zhiyuan got up from his seat.

"Our family won't leave Zhang Ge old!" Feng Xiyi followed and got up, and only returned to the living room after sending Zhang Zhiyuan out of the mansion gate.

Seeing the small box on the table, Feng Xi sat back on the Taishi chair and held the small box with both hands.

When he opened it, Feng Xi's eyes couldn't help but light up, because there was a thick stack of silver tickets inside.

After counting carefully, seeing that there were as many as fifty, and each one was an amount of one thousand taels, Feng Xi couldn't help but clench his fists excitedly.

In fact, it is not for nothing that there are people who send more money than Zhang Zhiyuan.

Not to mention anything else, the amount of silver sent by officials from other places alone is basically much more than that sent by Zhang Zhiyuan.

But the 50,000 taels of silver were sent by Zhang Zhiyuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, and the meaning was very different.

After ordering the housekeeper to put away the 50,000 taels of silver tickets, Feng Xi sat back on the Taishi chair, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip comfortably.

After a while, the housekeeper trotted over and replied: "Master, Sun Dingwu, the third master of Ningguo Mansion, asks to see you!" ”

"Oh? Here comes another man who has delivered silver! Feng Xi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to the housekeeper: "Hurry up, please!" ”

is different from Zhang Zhiyi before, Sun Dingwu is a figure in the heart of the emperor, not to mention that he is from a noble background, so Feng Xi does not dare to hold it up.

Besides, unlike Wenchen, Xungui's lineage has always been relatively close to the harem figures, and moreover, Ning Guofu is the number one nobleman in the Great Zhou, how dare Feng Xi support it?

Although Sun Dingwu was just a fictitious position to command the Beijing camp, Feng Xi still respectfully welcomed him into the living room.

After the two exchanged a few words of greetings, Sun Dingwu went straight to the point and said: "Father-in-law Feng, in this holy draft, the little daughter of the old man's family happens to be among them, so the old man is cheeky to ask to see Grandpa Feng today, hoping that Grandpa Feng can take more care of him during the primary election." ”

"With our friendship, General Sun just doesn't say it, and our family will take care of it." Feng Xi said with a grin.

However, as soon as the words changed, Feng Xi said with a hint of worry on his face: "However, our family heard that the beloved daughter of the second master of Ning Guofu also participated in this draft, but I'm afraid that our family will be a little difficult here!" ”

"Presumably General Sun can also guess that one of the two young ladies participating in the draft in Ning Guofu this time will be selected, but this also means that the other one will definitely be defeated!"

Glancing at Sun Dingwu meaningfully, Feng Xi continued: "I don't know which young lady from your mansion Ning Guogong and the old lady of your mansion plan to select?" ”

"My eldest brother and the old lady don't have any orders." Sun Dingwu replied honestly.

"It's going to be hard!" Feng Xi frowned slightly, and then said: "If Ning Guogong and the old lady don't have any orders, then which of the two young ladies in your mansion can be successfully selected, and they can only be left to fate!" ”

"Please also ask Gonggong Feng to help me a lot!" Sun Dingwu clasped his fists and said, "If the little girl can be successfully selected, the old man must be grateful to Gonggong Feng." ”

"Of course, the old man doesn't let Father-in-law Feng work in vain."

As he spoke, Sun Dingwu took out a few silver tickets from his sleeves and put them on the table next to Feng Xi.

Just glancing at it, Feng Xi raised his eyes to look at Sun Dingwu and said, "Since General Sun is so polite, then we can't say anything about it." General Sun is assured that General Sun's beloved daughter will definitely be able to enter the final selection this time. ”

"But the ugly words of our family are also said in front, if the Long Live Lord and the Queen Mother did not point General Sun's love daughter, I hope General Sun will not blame him!"

"It's nature!" Sun Dingwu said.

After sending Sun Dingwu away, Feng Xi picked up the silver ticket on the table and counted it carefully, seeing that it was only five thousand taels, Feng Xi showed a contemptuous smile on his face.

"Sun Dingwu was born in a national family, but he didn't expect to be able to squeeze out such a little oil and water!" For a mere five thousand taels of silver, Feng Xi was extremely disdainful in his heart.

It's no wonder that Feng Xi doesn't look down on it, after all, these days, the money given by others is in the unit of '10,000'.

Originally, Feng Xi still thought that he could squeeze out tens of thousands of taels of silver from Ning Guofu.

But looking at the five thousand taels of silver tickets on the table, Feng Xi dispelled this idea.

Ning Guofu is a top nobleman of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if he can't even take out tens of thousands of taels of silver at home, he will kill Feng Xi, he will not believe it.

But Feng Xi didn't remember that the silver in the Ningguo Mansion, the two brothers Sun Dingwu and Sun Dingwen, couldn't move it in the slightest.

Moreover, the Ning Guofu family has a big business, and the family population is naturally extremely vigorous, so there are naturally more places that need to spend silver.

Besides, the meaning of Ningguo Gongsun Ding'an is to let the two young ladies in the family compete fairly, as for who can be successfully selected in the end, it depends on who the emperor and the queen mother are satisfied with.

Anyway, the position of an imperial concubine in Ning Guofu can't run away, so why spend that unjust money?

"Where's the housekeeper? Let the butler come over! In the living room, Feng Xi ordered someone to call the housekeeper and asked, "These days, how much money is there in the house?" ”

The housekeeper nodded, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he replied with a smile: "If you go back to the master, since the master supervised the draft, we have a total of five million and three hundred thousand taels of silver." ”

"The villain has already remembered it clearly in the account books, I wonder if the master wants to see it?"

Feng Xi nodded and said, "This is nature!" ”

Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly ordered someone to go to the account room to take the account book and hand it to Feng Xi, and said: "Master, these days, the person who gives the most gifts is Cao Rui, the governor of Liangjiang, who has given a total of 230,000 taels of silver. followed by He Ming, the governor of Sichuan and Shu, and Yan Shu, the governor of Jingbei, who sent no less than 100,000 taels of silver. In addition, Zheng Yongji, the head of the household department, also ordered someone to send 80,000 taels of silver......"

Looking at the records in the account book, Feng Xi nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Our family knows!" ”

……

Early the next morning, Feng Xi came to the outside of the Taihe Palace.

After Zhang Lingyang got out of the morning court, Feng Xi trotted all the way to Zhang Lingyang's side and said: "Long live the lord, the slave has sorted out and filed the money collected these days, I don't know if the long live lord wants to see it?" ”

"You don't have to see, just tell me how much silver you've gotten these days!" Zhang Lingyang waved his hand and said.

Feng Xi replied: "Long live Lord, this time I got a total of five million and six hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Lingyang turned around, glanced at Feng Xi in surprise, and said, "Replace all the silver tickets in your hand with silver, and then send them to my inner money." ”

"Yes, the minion will do it!" Feng Xi replied, and hurriedly left the palace.

Although Zhang Lingyang's face was calm and calm when he spoke, he was extremely excited in his heart.

You know, that's 5,630,000 taels of silver, a lot of small money!

Before, the treasury was empty, and Zhang Lingyang continued to allocate money from the inside to the outside, which made Zhang Lingyang's flesh painful.

Now that there is so much more money in the inner pocket, Zhang Lingyang immediately feels refreshed.
