Chapter 243: Donations
Suning'er stared at Li Wanwan quietly, and saw her muttering for a moment before she said slowly:
"The war in the north is tight, I Aya has been anxious about raising military salaries, a while ago there was an urgent report from the south of the Yangtze River, saying that there were insect plagues in many places, and there have been several riots, the sage ordered the household department to raise another three million silver money for disaster relief, and now the new saint ascended the throne not long ago, the people around the country are unstable, and the supply of the forbidden army and military supplies is also urgent, after the autumn and the Turks Yima, the purchase of ordnance is a huge number, I heard that the sage has passed on the edict, ordered the palace to save expenses, and let the concubines donate money and materials, To help raise money, of course I have to support me. ”
"I didn't expect the situation of the imperial court to be so difficult", Su Ning'er couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and sighed with blank eyes: "Today, the saint sent someone to pass on the edict of marriage, and added 300 households to me, I really deserve it." ”
"Although Yiniang is not the sister of a fellow saint, she has also been canonized", Li Wanwan said disapprerovingly: "Your family affairs have already experienced so many twists and turns, this marriage, the saint naturally can't wronged you, why should you be upset." ”
Su Ning'er shook her head slowly: "Although we are our daughter's family, but the country is in trouble, and we can't still receive the grace of the saint with peace of mind." ”
Gazing deeply at Li Wanwan, she asked solemnly, "Wanniang, how is the disaster relief money raised by Ling Zun?" ”
Hearing her ask about this, Li Wanwan smiled with relief: "The disaster relief funds have been raised a lot, I heard Aya say that this time for the war in the north and the disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhao Sanlang and the Evil Moon Holy Maiden have made great efforts, the Zhao family donated all the 300,000 silver coins from the tea sales in the south this year to the imperial court, and the Evil Moon Holy Maiden is even more generous, donating one million silver coins in the name of the Persian caravan to help the northern counterinsurgency and the southern disaster relief." ”
Hearing the figure of one million, Suning'er was shocked, she didn't expect the Persian caravan to be so rich, and it was no wonder that the Evil Moon Holy Maiden was so valued by the imperial court that even the Beiya party didn't dare to embarrass her.
Suning'er has also saved a lot of gold, silver and jewelry these days, and it can be worth a lot of silver when converted, although it is not worth mentioning compared to the Persian caravan, but she accepted the emperor's grace, and she can do as much as she can, even if she orders Shuang'er and Qin'er to clean up her small private treasury, and then decide to send someone to the household department after the inventory is properly counted.
Li Wanwan saw that she was so enthusiastic about court affairs, and couldn't help but ridicule: "Yiniang, you are really a husband and wife, Zhao Sanlang donated so much money, and Yiniang, you are not showing weakness like this, I can see it now, you two are a match made in heaven." ”
The Persian caravan and the merchants in Chang'an City donated money to help the court tide over the predicament, and they always hid some selfish intentions, but Su Yiniang was just a daughter in a boudoir, but she was so generous, which was admirable.
Su Ning'er smiled: "Wanniang, don't make fun of me and him, after all, we haven't gotten married yet, how can this kind of thing be mixed up." ”
"You are still so duplicitous", Li Wanwan winked playfully: "I know, a few days ago, the second room of the Zhao family came to the house to be hired, and I heard the head of the second room of his family say that the third room will also come to your house for a next few days, because of the dowry, the twelve mothers of my family have been depressed for several days." ”
Su Ning'er was a little surprised: "But the second room of the Zhao family is slow to treat the twelfth mother?" ”
"Not really", Li Wanwan snorted coldly, full of disdain: "Yiniang, you don't know her yet, she was born of a concubine, but she thinks about comparing with those concubines everywhere, although her future husband is in the court, but he is only a Shangfu governor, how can he be compared with Zhao Sanlang, Yiniang, don't say it, although your future husband is not interested in fame, but he is indeed a good hand at doing business, I don't know that he has earned a lot of furniture over the years, and I heard that the dowry of the third room is full of the entire courtyard. ”
After a pause, Li Wanwan sighed with emotion: "The Zhao family is worthy of being a giant, since the Tao family has risen to the top, the Zhao family has never been visible in front of outsiders, this time for the imperial court to donate money and Yiniang your relatives, and let people see the glory of the Zhao family in the past, Yiniang and Zhao Sanlang married, the glory and wealth of this life are all in front of you." ”
Su Ning'er listened to her words full of praise for the Zhao family, and she didn't know what sweetness Zhao Yuanbai gave her, but now her attitude has come to a 180-degree reversal, which really makes her a little uncomfortable.
For Zhao Yuanbai's talent in business, Suning'er is naturally irrefutable, and he has broken out of the world at this age, which is also rare in the world.
In the past, I always heard Qi Shi say that he was looking forward to him going to the examination to gain fame and seek a half-official position, but now that I think about it, it doesn't have to be so.
As the saying goes: 360 lines, the line is the champion.
It is also a good way to understand the business and make some achievements on this road.
She looked at the busy figures of Shuang'er, Qin'er and Yin Xiu in the room, a look of comfort flashed in her eyes, and she said calmly: "I have experienced so many things, in fact, I don't think about it so much, my mother and uncle are optimistic about this family business." ”
Hesitating, thinking of Zhao Yuanbai's always unrighteous appearance, she felt funny, couldn't help but smile faintly, and said: "I don't know why I accepted him, and I just hope to be content with him in the future." ”
"You have played with his childhood sweetheart until he grows up, he has never changed for so many years, he has always been the same to you, Yiniang can relax, I think Zhao Sanlang is a person worthy of trust", Li Wanwan held her, her eyes were soft and rippling, and she suddenly smiled evilly: "If he dares to snub you in the future, I will definitely help you teach him a good lesson." ”
Although it was a joke, Suning'er was so moved that tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
Since she came into this world, sometimes she feels like she has nothing, and sometimes she feels as if she has the whole world.
Family, friendship, love, these most precious things in the world, she can feel that she is by her side.
The two of them pressed their palms tightly together, and the warm temperature melted together, making her heart warm with it.
Suning'er looked at her with warm eyes, and said deeply: "Wanniang should also be good, I still hope that you will give birth to a pretty gentleman and let me play it earlier." ”
Li Wanwan pouted, and a flush immediately appeared on her white cheeks: "I, I don't want it, Yiniang, how can you, how can you be more and more similar to that Zhao Sanlang, it's so untenable." ”
Su Ning'er covered her mouth and smiled evilly, and said unhappily: "I don't want to be like him, his stunned temperament." ”
"Hehe, but he still married you into the door, I'm afraid you can't escape if you want to."
"I ......"
Su Ning'er immediately paused, and was speechless by her words.
