Chapter 117: Slapping a swollen face and becoming fat
Unexpectedly, when she said this, Xia Ruxue was angry and anxious, for fear of being heard, and her heart panicked.
Looking left and right, no one paid attention to their sisters' whispers, and while breathing a sigh of relief, Xia Ruxue didn't bother to care about Xia Mengyao anymore. If you want to be in the limelight, go ahead, there will be no money to give when the time comes, and the shame is that she is not herself!
Go back and be taught a good lesson by my father!
Without restraint and admonition, Xia Mengyao was completely unrestrained.
Looking at the surprised and joyful eyes of the Jade Concubine, the second prince also frequently looked sideways, her excited pretty face flushed, and her heart was about to jump out. photographed three things one after another, snatching the attention of the audience, like the richest man today.
"I didn't expect Miss Xia San to be so kind and vigorously support the fundraising of the mother's charity auction, and this prince deeply admires it."
When the second prince personally delivered the fourth lot to Xia Mengyao and said these words again, someone finally couldn't sit still!
They are not here to support the victims, but to curry favor with the Jade Princess, and they hope to get the attention of the second prince. Now they were all snatched away by Xia Mengyao, is there still a chance for them to show their faces?
Zuo Xiangfu is majestic, but if you want to crush the audience with the power of one person, Xia Mengyao is still a little tender!
At the moment, there were two noblewomen who also wanted to win the attention of the second prince for their daughter, and they joined forces to suppress Xia Mengyao. As long as you can please the Jade Concubine and give your daughter the opportunity to become the second princess, what is a little silver?
"Jade Concubine Niangniang's golden silk hairpin, I like it very much, and I will do my best for the victims when I take it, so I will pay two hundred taels of silver." A lady of the Senate of Zhongshu Province spoke.
Although her husband's grade is not as good as Zuo Xiang's, he is also a positive third grade, able to participate in military affairs, and can also meet the emperor's important ministers in private. For Xia Mengyao, the daughter of a left-hand minister, she hasn't taken it to heart yet.
When Xia Mengyao heard this, she said without hesitation: "I also like the jade concubine Niangniang's hundred flower hairpins, I will give three hundred taels!" ”
Before the words fell, not far away, the wife of the right attendant of the ministry also spoke: "Four hundred taels!" ”
"Five hundred taels!" Xia Mengyao did not hesitate.
If you take a picture of this hairpin, and let the second prince hand it over to her personally, how good would it be?
Unexpectedly, this auction did not go well, and some people kept raising the price, no matter how much Xia Mengyao shouted, someone added another hundred taels, and there was a great posture to compete with her to the end.
Miss's temper immediately came out, Xia Mengyao saw that someone was arguing with her, so she stood up directly and said loudly: "I'll give a thousand taels!" ”
This sound seems to awaken everyone's consciousness, today's third miss of the Xia family is very arrogant! Could it be that Zuo Xiang has any special instructions, otherwise how can he spend money like flowing water and not feel distressed?
The ladies are not stupid, following the husband who is an official, they have also heard some things in the court, and they are thinking about it one by one, whether the left minister is going to lean on the side of the second prince, otherwise how dare the third lady blatantly use money to curry favor with the jade concubine?
The lady of the senator of Zhongshu Province sneered lightly and said deliberately: "In order to raise funds for the victims and support the Jade Concubine Niangniang, Mrs. Ben doesn't care about this bit of silver, I will pay 1,500 taels." ”
Xia Mengyao is willing to be
When the people went down, they shouted on the spot: "Two thousand taels!" ”
Another woman said, "Two thousand two hundred taels." ”
"Three thousand taels!" Xia Mengyao's voice was even higher.
The audience was silent, even the second prince Lan Hongzhuo looked at Xia Mengyao, and said with a smile: "Miss Xia San, today's charity auction of the mother concubine is not to be angry, everyone is here to raise funds, and it doesn't necessarily have to be one person to take pictures of everything." Mrs. Xia Xiang is not here today, and the third lady has already spent so much money, in case she goes back and is scolded......"
Everyone can hear that the second prince means that it is not good for one person to be in the limelight, and it is harmonious for everyone to be happy. But the words were tactful, and it seemed that he was thinking about Xia Mengyao, and he was very considerate, which shows the cultivation and demeanor of the second prince.
Xia Mengyao only understood the last sentence.
The second prince was actually worried that she would spend too much money and be scolded when she went back? It turns out that the second prince cares about her so much!
Xia Mengyao was excited, and her voice trembled a little: "Second prince, don't worry, my father and mother won't scold me, Concubine Yu's heart is for the people, so she summoned everyone to raise funds, Mengyao is grateful for Concubine Yu's benevolence and kindness, so she naturally has to support it vigorously, otherwise, how could my mother agree to me coming?" ”
"I see, the daughter raised by Xia Xiang really has the demeanor of everyone and is worth learning from."
Concubine Yu smiled slightly, she had already heard something from Xia Mengyao's words.
Zuo Xiang is willing to support her son, she is naturally happy, although this Miss Xia San's approach is a bit reckless and too direct, but what she sends can be real money. not only indirectly illustrates the financial resources of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, but also hints at the future of both sides, and of course she will not refuse.
For example, Xia Mengyao's temperament is also very easy to handle, compared to those daughters who are twisted in her heart, she likes this kind of easy control and obedientness!
When Concubine Yu opened her mouth, Xia Mengyao and Yourong wanted to fly happily.
At the moment, it is even harder, and it is bound to win the whole lot!
When the next lot came up again, almost all of them were Xia Mengyao in the limelight, and one price was higher than the other. This feeling of the audience's attention is simply too good, she seems to feel that she is shining, and the position of the second princess is beckoning to her.
"Big sister, what do you say you'll go back later......" Xia Ruxue saw Xia Mengyao being so showy, and she became upset.
Mother asked her to keep an eye on the third sister, but this kind of thing happened, and she had already spent almost 10,000 taels, right? She couldn't stop Meng Yao, and she would definitely be scolded when she went back.
Xia Jinse smiled faintly and said, "Second sister rest assured, when you go out, didn't your mother give the third sister silver?" ”
"It's only fifty taels, where is enough!"
"Perhaps, my mother gave it back in private, after all, this is for the future of the third sister, if the second prince can take a fancy to her, it is worth spending some silver." Xia Jinse is serious.
Xia Ruxue was speechless, she didn't know how to reply, and turned her head back angrily.
Of course, she knew that Xia Jinse was deliberately watching a good show, but she was right, maybe her mother really secretly gave Meng Yao silver to support her and the second prince's affairs. After all, even the father decided.
But what about her and the eldest prince...
… A wave of jealousy came up, and she clenched her fists with hatred, too lazy to care!
Anyway, after her mother sold the dowry of the Ninth Prince, she must let her mother give her some of it. Let Xia Mengyao mess around casually today, and see if she has the ability to please the second prince.
In the main hall, Xia Mengyao seemed to have reached the peak of her life, and she was the only one in the audience.
An ordinary bracelet, only a 'Jade Concubine Niangniang's favorite to wear on weekdays', she immediately called out five hundred taels. Others also seemed to see her intentions and began to deliberately shout the price.
"Seven hundred taels!"
"I'll give you eight hundred taels!"
Nan Muqing, the second granddaughter of Nan Guogong, even shouted: "One thousand taels." After shouting, he deliberately glanced at Xia Mengyao provocatively, the meaning is too obvious, if you have the ability, you will increase the price!
Xia Mengyao really shouted again: "One thousand five hundred taels." ”
She really likes this feeling of crushing the audience, don't you see that the second prince keeps looking at her and smiling, and whispers a few words to the jade concubine from time to time, she must have understood her intentions.
At this time, another pleasant voice sounded: "I will give two thousand taels." ”
The voice......
Xia Jinse saw that it was Ji Wushuang, the county lord of Wushuang, and she also came to oppose Xia Mengyao?
But as you listen, it doesn't work out like that.
Only Ji Wushuang was left in the audience and Xia Mengyao were bargaining, and the two of them shouted from two thousand taels to three thousand taels, far exceeding the value of this bracelet a hundred times. At first, everyone thought that the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion deliberately raised the price, and wanted to pit Xia Mengyao, a fool, but Ji Wushuang was extremely upright, and he shouted until five thousand taels, and everyone realized that something was wrong.
Could it be that the Marquis of Xiaoyao Mansion has changed direction, and he also wants to climb the family business of the second prince?
"Before, didn't the Wushuang County Lord like the eldest prince, and he went to please the queen mother, and now he is here to please the jade concubine?"
"The eldest prince is out of breath, now the emperor likes the second prince, of course the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion will also change to the second prince!"
"It's really snobbish, one will be the eldest prince, one will be the second prince, it turns out that the Xiaoyao Mansion is also like this, it's really shameless."
"You don't understand this, although the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion is respected, the fight is also fierce. The prince of Xiaoyao Hou has been in poor health, and there have been many disasters in the past few years, and the other rooms are hoping that he will die, so as to take away the position of the deceased son. If the unequaled county lord doesn't find a good husband, where will the big house be stable? ”
Xia Jinse listened carefully to these whispers, only to know that Ji Wushuang also had so many troubles.
No wonder she is not in good spirits, I'm afraid that if she came today, she was also forced by the situation, right?
But Xia Mengyao couldn't see it, and snorted lightly, how could she be willing to admit defeat?
"Anyway, how much silver is out, it is also to raise funds and help the victims, I paid 8,000 taels of silver to shoot this bracelet, but it is just my minister's house to show my heart and dedicate a little benevolence."
Ji Wushuang's face turned pale, he only paused, and said lightly: "Ten thousand taels." ”
Xia Mengyao's face changed when she heard this, she really matched her! Today, she had to let Ji Wushuang know that the second prince was hers, and no one could snatch it away.
She opened her mouth and said, "I'll pay 20,000 taels!" ”
A sensation!
It was noisy, and everyone was shocked by Xia Jinse's '20,000 taels'.
Looking at the stunned eyes of the audience, as well as the smiling look of the Jade Concubine, Xia Mengyao was proud, and she didn't understand that everyone was laughing at her for being a fool, and suddenly, someone gently pulled her and whispered: "Third sister, did you bring 30,000 taels of silver?" ”
Xia Mengyao is like a slap in the face, it's too bad, she only has 10,000 taels, where did she get 30,000 taels!?
Impulsive, she forgot everything.
But the price has been shouted, and it can't be reversed, Xia Mengyao suddenly panicked and had no owner.
grabbed Xia Jinse, who reminded her, Xia Mengyao's heart was about to jump out, and she said secretly: "Oh no, I forgot!" Big sister, what should I do, you, can you lend me another 20,000 taels? ”
Xia Jinse shook his head slightly: "Third sister, there is a loan and a repayment, you have to pay off the first debt, and I can lend you the second one." ”
Let her pay back 11,000 taels now?
How can Xia Mengyao be rich!
can't borrow silver, how will she explain to the Jade Concubine and the second prince? Seeing that she finally won a little favor from the Jade Concubine, and the second prince also noticed her, how could she slap her face and make a mess of things? !
"Please, big sister, I can't find anyone else to help me except you."
Xia Mengyao was anxious to burn the fire, and everything was out of the way: "As long as you lend me 20,000 taels of silver, I will promise you everything!" ”
Xia Jinse still shook his head: "Third sister, it's really not good......
"I'll pay two cents...... No, no, three points is good! ”
Xia Mengyao gritted her teeth and whispered in Xia Jinse's ear: "Next month, I promise to return it to you with interest, a total of 37,000 taels of silver." Please, big sister, help me this time! It's all a family, and you don't want to lose face in front of so many people, right? ”
