Chapter 274: Debt Collection
Emperor Yan Cheng was in a good mood and was worshiped by everyone.
However, he is busy dealing with military affairs, so he has no time to dwell here. But looking at the beautiful girl, I didn't forget to give an order.
"The queen gave me a banquet on my behalf, so that she could entertain these noble girls. As for the imperial sister's suggestion, I have my own conclusion when I look back. β
What does this mean, do you really want to reward the beauty again?
But even if the ladies are envious, few people will be jealous.
After all, this idea was from someone else, so what's wrong with rewarding more things?
So everyone is not as expected by the eldest princess of Deyang, who will isolate the beautiful girl, but there are still people who want to thank her and get close.
But just as Emperor Yan Cheng was about to leave, Concubine Xu Xian muttered there.
"If you have money to donate, why don't you have money to pay off your debts?"
Emperor Yan Cheng frowned and paused, "What did you say?" β
If the son does something good, how can this chaff come to a bad thing?
Concubine Xu Xian consciously straightened out and shouted loudly.
"Miss Lin still owes me three thousand taels of silver and hasn't paid it back! She has the money to do good deeds, is she embarrassed? β
Everyone was shocked.
Only the eldest princess of Ruyang was overjoyed, and said sourly, "Yo, is there such a thing?" The debt is repaid, but it is a matter of course. Especially in this big year, do you still have to drag on the New Year? β
Shangguan Ling immediately looked at it and asked solemnly, "Meiniang, how did you owe the money to Concubine Xian, and why didn't you pay it back, tell the emperor clearly!" β
That's so bad, sir.
I knew it early in the morning, what else did I pretend?
But the beautiful girl, I like his eccentric badness!
Hey.
The master and apprentice were secretly happy in their hearts, and the beautiful girl was also serious, with a small face, and replied loudly.
"Back to the emperor and all the nobles, three years ago, my family was in trouble, and the little girl could only sell herself to atone for her father's sins. Concubine Xian Niangniang was kind enough to buy my deed of sale with 1,000 taels of silver, and the little girl also high-fived her in public and swore an oath, promising to pay back 3,000 taels within three years to complete the gambling contract.
The little girl was lucky, and in the spring of this year, she returned the three thousand taels of silver to the Han Wangfu in advance. All the accounts have been checked and completed.
It's just that the little girl was young back then, and when she said that when she repaid the money, she asked Concubine Xian Niangniang to admit in public that the little girl was a good girl. Now that I think about it, it's really naΓ―ve, so I don't talk much. Now that Niangniang asked, Fang had to answer. β
Concubine Xu Xian was dumbfounded, "You, you have already returned?" β
The beautiful lady looked innocent, "How can this kind of thing be faked?" If you don't believe it, go back and find out. In the past three years, you have not allowed me to set foot in Huzhou for half a step, nor are you allowed to go to Huzhou to make money, but the little girl has done it. On the contrary, he also found several ways to make money for Huzhou. β
Emperor Yan Cheng smiled, "I also know about this. The emperor and He Zhifu both said in the fold, and you also have a share of credit in the thrush mine. It's rare that you are not greedy or possessive, and you have found a lot of livelihoods for the local people. If Concubine Xian doesn't want to say it, I will say it for her. β
The emperor paused for a moment and said heartily, "Lin Meiniang, she is a good girl." β
His son's vision is not bad, and the person he likes is okay.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The beautiful lady suddenly smiled like a flower, sweet and lovely.
can get the praise of the emperor Chrysostom, who is still rare Concubine Xu Xian!
Emperor Yan Cheng couldn't help but raise his hand to touch her head like an elder, and left happily.
Shangguan Ling glanced at Concubine Xu Xian, who looked confused, and walked away proudly.
Bullying his female disciple deserves it!
Empress Xu also felt funny, and covered her mouth and pretended to be polite, "Since Sister Xian Concubine has been entertained, and the emperor has also spoken, then the next meal will be from the palace." Ordered someone to hurry back and prepare, and invite all the nobles to sit in the palace. Come, Miss Lin, go this way. β
She took the initiative to take the beautiful girl's hand and led the person away.
Concubine Xu Xian smacked her mouth, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
This, that's it?
She hasn't hit that nasty girl's face yet, why did she get face?
After paying back the money and no one told her, how did she know!
Seeing her look of anger, Aunt Chen coughed helplessly, "Niangniang, Your Highness has returned to Beijing, but it is a great happy event, we should also go back and prepare quickly." The house for His Royal Highness has to be cleaned up, as well as clothes and bedding, all of which have to be re-checked, and there are many things! β
Also.
All right.
In the end, sons are more important than outsiders.
And Concubine Xu Xian also wanted a step down, so she muttered and hurried away.
Only Xiao Mingzhu, falling far away, looking at the back of the beautiful girl in the distance, jealousy is about to go crazy!
If, if she is given the same opportunity, she is confident that she can perform better than the beautiful girl.
But identity, this damn palace maid status restricts her.
Otherwise, she can still recite a song "Spring Snow in Qinyuan" to shock these uninformed ancients!
But now, she still has a chance to turn the tables around.
Didn't you hear?
King Han is coming back soon.
The fastest way to get to the top is, naturally-
Xiao Mingzhu's hands clenched into fists quietly unfolded, caressing his full chest, revealing a hint of triumph.
No matter how good Ren Meiniang is, she is still young, is she old here?
And Your Highness, it's not a child who hasn't grown all the hair.
In this era, it is the time when you can "know people" and have a room.
Don't look at the noble status of the noble girl in this room, what's the use of fighting for those false faces?
The most important thing is to come out on top.
The snow-white teeth bit the plump red lips, unconsciously evoking a seductive smile.
Xiao Mingzhu seems to have foreseen his success.
He became more and more arrogant and straightened his chest and walked away.
It's just that his head was too high, and he didn't pay attention for a while, stepped on the ice, and slid down.
Hit her proud breast, but it hurts!
After the palace banquet was dispersed that night, the nobles were accompanied by the emperor's decree of commendation, along with the property they received.
Show each family how generous your daughters are, and they have been rewarded by the palace and donated them all to do good deeds.
Got it?
Oh, got it.
People who can send their daughters to the palace banquet are not too stupid.
Seeing this, they generously donated money, saying that the gifts of the emperor should be kept in their homes. They were willing to donate some silver, but they should buy it and give it to their daughter.
Ay!
That's right.
Even if the emperor agrees to use these goods to raise money, does he really want to send a few people to sell them along the street?
It's impossible, it's too low.
That's why we have to get money from these ministers' homes.
Do you really think that the emperor is so generous, and the family gives a holy decree for nothing?
Not that good.
So, the ministers donated money. The emperor's empty gloves are white wolves, and they are affordable. The ladies have won a good name and received their rewards.
Everyone was happy.
Of course, there are also those who are not so happy.
For example, Fu Xihua.
The Earl's Mansion of Yongding received the holy decree, but it was also sensible to buy the reward with silver.
But when he turned around, he was served by Mrs. Fu, and all of them were locked in the cage, saying that he would wait for the reward to his children and grandchildren in the future.
As Fu Xihua, who won the holy decree, he just got one of the pair of earrings.
This is still extra preferential treatment for her.
To say that most of the families said that although they gave this reward to their daughters who fought for honor, they didn't see anyone swallow it alone, and basically took it out and shared it.
Miss Xiangwang even more generously said that her dowry was enough, and she just had this holy decree to marry. Those things add makeup to the other sisters.
But Fu Xihua didn't have this bearing, she always felt that her family took her good things, and she was sorry for her.
But her anger is not worth mentioning in front of the eldest princess of Ruyang.
