Chapter 533: Guest
His Royal Highness the King of Han almost thought that he had misheard. Huo Ran Wen
Not five hundred, not five thousand, but fifty thousand quintals?
Seeing that he didn't dare to believe it, Xu Tong also hesitated.
"Could it be that I miscalculated? Or do you find someone to do the math again. ”
No need, His Highness personally calculated it, and it was really 50,000 quintals.
The people who help to gather food are not big families.
are all relatives of the Xu family, relatives of the Fang family, relatives of the Xue family, or the families of the prince's vassals, as well as Wang Ruitang and Lord Wang, a vast number of scattered low-level officials and relatives and friends.
Back then, they all met through Zeng Pu and Zeng Tanhua, who had fallen in love with a beautiful girl at first sight, and initiated the Yongyan Gaozu Poetry Conference.
Although the poetry meeting was dispersed later, everyone had similar interests, so they moved around in several small circles.
I'm going to praise two people here.
One is Xue Liang and Xue Xiucai, who used to be a small servant next to Xue Shen in the past, and now he has escaped from his slave status.
He learned Xue Shen's knowledge, but he didn't learn his arrogance.
He was thoughtful and tactful, and kept in touch with the leaders of these small circles.
The other one is Zeng Pu, who is famous.
Of the 50,000 quintals of grain, he alone pledged 500 quintals, which is really a big household.
So there were two of them to contact one to take the lead, and everyone got together fifty hundred and hundred, but I didn't expect that the small amount would add up, and they actually made up a full fifty thousand loads!
“…… is also His Royal Highness's popularity, and Sister Hong'er and her mother handle things properly, and always love to take care of people, especially Sister Hong'er is too likable, so everyone is willing to contribute. ”
Xu Tong handed over the account book to Min Bai, smiling honestly but seriously, "I have kept all the accounts, if I have the opportunity in the future, this favor will still have to be repaid." ”
That's of course.
Sister Lian Hong'er takes a little bit of the emperor's things, and she knows how to keep accounts, how can His Royal Highness lose to his daughter?
Min Bai cautiously saluted his uncle, "I won't thank you for my uncle's kindness, but I will definitely remember it in my heart and will be repaid." ”
Xu Tong said embarrassedly, "What do you want to answer?" I didn't do anything. What you do is serious, and your uncle doesn't have much ability, so he can only say that he can help a little. It's getting cold, these are the cotton shoes your aunt made for you, don't dislike it, just put it in the house and change your feet. Sister Hong also has it, she is willing to give face, and she loves to wear it very much. Your aunt is glad to see it! ”
At this moment, Min Bai suddenly felt like a paste empowerment, and understood what Mr. said, the story of the tongue and teeth.
Teeth are hard, but they will always fall out.
The tongue is soft, but it can accompany people for a lifetime.
Sometimes, a proper show of weakness does not make people look down on people, but rather gets more help.
He bowed deeply again and said that he had been taught.
Xu Tong became more and more uncomfortable, and quickly put down his things and left.
I went early today, and I went back to the city early.
When Xu Tong entered Beijing, he saw that it was not long after the meal had passed, so he asked his family to lead the way to a restaurant in the city.
Isn't Xiao Jinghong walking with relatives these days? I also met a lot of children.
Among them is the eight-year-old son of Xue's cousin.
The kid was also a man in his hands, and when he accepted the gift from his little sister, he said that he would return the gift.
It happened that he was about to celebrate his birthday, so he took his private money to invite his sister to the restaurant and eat delicious sauce and pork elbows.
When Xiao Jinghong heard this, he immediately agreed.
This is the first time someone has seriously invited her to a restaurant for dinner, and she used to eat and drink with her mother. So the little girl was very cautious and advertised, especially telling everyone not to come to her that day, she had to go to the banquet!
That's why Xu Tongcai picked today to meet His Royal Highness his nephew.
Otherwise, he would be a rare little girl!
Calculate that this time it is estimated that the meal is almost finished, and Xiao Jinghong should also go back to the palace.
Xu Tong bought a pack of steaming, famous dim sum in Beijing on the street, and wanted to send it to Xiao Jinghong in a hurry and bring it back to the palace as a snack.
When he arrived in the alley, before he reached the door of the restaurant, he heard the deafening and iconic cry of the little girl. There was also a circle of people in front of the door, pointing and pointing.
Xu Tong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly squeezed forward, but saw a middle-aged scribe with a pale face, who came out more angrily than him, blocked in front of Sister Hong, and pointed at the other party and scolded angrily.
“…… A porridge and a meal, it is not easy to think about where you come from. Half silk and half wisp, constant thought and material strength. A little girl still knows how to cherish Chinese food on her plate, and packs uneaten food and gives it to the poor. As a princess, why are you not as sensible as a child, and you have to let a vicious dog scare people? ”
Xu Tong was startled when he heard this.
Look at the woman who was blamed, it was actually the eldest princess of Deyang, who was demoted to a concubine!
Sitting in the carriage with her was the eldest princess of Ruyang, who had a stroke before and gradually recovered.
There was a thin young woman beside her, but he didn't quite recognize it.
If you want to say that the eldest princess of Deyang used to be very good at hiding behind and fanning the flames. Now that she has been robbed of the title of princess, she is becoming more and more unscrupulous.
At the moment, Pi smiled and said, "Scholar Li, you are a little unreasonable." Which eye do you have to see that we have hurt people by letting our vicious dogs hurt? Dogs are not human beings, and when they see someone handing out food, they are naturally greedy, and they want to pounce forward, who can control it? Sir, if you want to teach a lesson, just teach the vicious dogs. Why bother to accuse Sang and scold Huai and ruin the reputation of us women? ”
This scholar Li is the one who was admired by Princess Qinghe.
It's just that although he is talented, he is not good at the battle of tongues. Especially if the body is not good, I will give people a scold, and I will suddenly be so angry that my hands and feet are cold, dizzy, and I can't speak.
The eldest princess of Deyang reversed black and white, raised her eyebrows and threw out a few taels of silver, "That's it, take this money and buy a few dishes for my dogs, so as to save them from being greedy and robbing others of their leftovers." ”
And the eldest princess of Ruyang, staring at Xiao Jinghong and Concubine Xu Xian, cried like the face of the little flower cat, and squeezed out the words with difficulty and happiness.
"Poor, ghost!"
Sister Hong was so frightened by her fierce face that she cried even more fiercely.
Xu Tong held his breath in his heart, stepped forward quickly, and hugged Xiao Jinghong first, "Don't cry, don't cry, uncle and grandfather are here, Sister Hong doesn't cry." ”
gave them a salute again, "I don't know that Lord Ruyang and Mrs. Xiao are here, it's really rude." Mrs. Xiao is not short of money, why not feed the dog at home and bring it out with wine and food, so as to save herself from being embarrassed outside. ”
ouch
Such an honest man who can't squeeze out a sound with eight poles will actually scare people.
The eldest princess of Deyang was choked by his mouthful of Mrs. Xiao and almost vomited blood.
Her concubine Xiao Dan, during the Battle of Qingguo, as the main general, not only did not make an inch, but also surrendered for fear of death. Later, Xiao Dan was killed by the emperor's uncle of Qingguo, but when he was held responsible, the Xiao family was also confiscated and demoted to a concubine.
This is still for the sake of the first emperor, who did not exterminate her family.
But the eldest princess of Deyang suddenly lost her position from the proud daughter of the sky, and this grievance can be imagined.
Therefore, she hates Min Bai who won the battle.
If he weren't so capable, why would it seem that her family was useless?
For Min Bai's daughter, he doesn't have a good feeling.
Therefore, when Fu Xihua, the dry young woman Xu Tong didn't know, ran to say that Sister Hong had bullied Princess Qinghe, Deyang immediately volunteered and ran to find trouble.
Hengzhu is a wild seed with no name and no share, even if he bullies her, what can he do?
If she hadn't been afraid of the emperor, she wouldn't have asked the dog to grab food, but would have bitten people directly.
