Two Zhuangzi of thousands of acres, when the wind and rain are good, the harvest of a year is 10,000 quintals, and Mrs. Zhou calculated it for the Guo family.

Fortunately, the eldest princess Fangyi donated 11,000 quintals, and Yongji Temple donated 9,000 quintals, otherwise the Guo family would have to donate all the 10,000 quintals.

Mrs. Guo forced out a smile and said to Mrs. Zhou: "Mrs. Lao still remembers the two small villages in my family, and last year's harvest is reasonable, so our family will donate 8,000 quintals." ”

After speaking, Mrs. Guo looked at Mrs. Zhou with a smile, she wanted to see how much the Queen Mother's maiden family would donate.

Old Madam Zhou didn't look at her, but looked at Huo Roufeng: "You see, the road to heaven is endless, and in such a short time, I have donated so much, come, and I will also record it to our Chengenbo Mansion, eight thousand five hundred quintals." ”

After all, it is still 500 more than the Guo family.

Huo Roufeng smiled and bent his eyes, and saluted to all the people in the hall: "On behalf of the people of Limin, the kid has thanked the eldest princess, the abbot master, and the ladies. ”

As soon as Mrs. Zhou's sentence "The Road to Heaven and No Man" came out, Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she almost turned her back on it. There is no endless road, doesn't it mean that Zhao Xu has forced the Huo family to a dead end?

Huo Jiu not only did not deny it, but also thanked the people of Li on behalf of him, which means that Zhao Xu not only forced the Huo family to a dead end, but also forced the people of Li in the world to a dead end.

The world is like this, you can't study it deeply, and you can't understand it too much, otherwise you will get into a dead end and it will be difficult to get out, and Mrs. Zhao is like this at this time.

She couldn't help but hate Guo Yong. Guo Yong is the first assistant, Zhao Xu is just a household official, he was the one who let Shuntianfu arrest people at the beginning, and now it is he who makes the Huo family pay the money, whether it is in the cabinet or in the royalist faction, Zhao Xu has never been the one who can slap the table and make a final decision, but now the Guo family is calmly donating money and donating food, and their Zhao family has become the person who forced ordinary merchants to a dead end in the mouth of Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Lu Zeng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has been watching coldly, Mrs. Guo was provoked by Mrs. Zhou to donate 8,000 loads of grain, Mrs. Zhao stood there with a pale face, Mrs. Lu wanted to see how much Mrs. Zhao donated first, and then reported the number, but now she can't wait, Lu Zeng is in charge of the Ministry of War, and the grain and grass and military salaries are closely related to the Ministry of War, must be inseparable from Guo Yong and Zhao Xu, Lu Zeng is the same as Zhao Xu, but Guo Yong is the first to look forward, so today's matter, their Lu family doesn't want to take it out.

She had to make a statement, otherwise their Lu family wouldn't want to raise their heads again in the capital in the future.

At this time, the two white-bearded old monks of Yongji Temple unfolded the merit book and began to register one by one, since the eldest princess, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Guo have taken the lead, the rest of the families have sent maids, the amount of their own donations to the old monk, and then the old monk will register the name in the merit book.

Mrs. Lu whispered a few words to the mother-in-law beside her, and the mother-in-law went over to line up to register.

When Mrs. Zhao's maid saw it, she hurriedly tugged on her wife's sleeve and whispered, "Madam, Mrs. Lu has already sent someone over." ”

Mrs. Zhao woke up like a dream, and asked the maid to pass, and the maid went for a while before coming back, and whispered in her ear: "The slave didn't see how much Mrs. Lu ...... donated."

Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to say a number casually, but it wasn't until everyone finished donating that Huo Jiu picked up the merit book, read it out one by one, and thanked her in public, that Mrs. Zhao knew that it was still three hundred taels less than the Lu family.

Huo Sijin looked at it in a cold sweat, all this today was too unexpected for her, she couldn't imagine that Huo Jiu would do this, not only solved the urgent need of the Huo family, but also provoked Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Lu like black-eyed chickens.

Old Madam Ou and Old Madam Feng each donated a thousand quintals, and when Huo Jiu read out the number, Huo Sijin saw the corners of Princess Fangyi's mouth slightly down, she immediately understood, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Huojiang's official residence is secondary, and the east mansion of the Huo family should not donate only one thousand taels like the west mansion, but should donate four or five thousand taels like the Zhao family Lujia to make sense.

The people in this hall, all of them have seven exquisite hearts, I am afraid that they are all like the eldest princess Fangyi, laughing at Old Madam Feng in secret.

After Huo Roufeng finished singing the merit book, a housekeeper lady she brought also calculated the total amount, a total of 190,000 quintals, or a difference of 10,000 quintals.

The eldest princess Fangyi said: "Ouch, why is it still missing......"

"How much worse? The king will make up all of them. ”

A clear voice came from outside the hall, and everyone looked over, only to see a young man striding in.

Huo Sijin heard the sound of "ah", she didn't have to turn around to know that this was her aunt Huo Yuan, and the person who came without asking was Lord Qing.

Everyone knelt down to salute, and King Qing said with a smile: "This king came to join in the fun, disturbing the ladies, don't blame this king for being abrupt." ”

Princess Fangyi smiled: "Okay, okay, I know that you have to make up the difference, so I will write it down for you, and I will let people go to your house to collect rice tomorrow, you go back and prepare." ”

Qing Wang Ye said: "Imperial sister don't urge, I'm going to enter the palace to greet the queen mother, and by the way, tell her the old man about today." ”

The eldest princess Fangyi said: "Then you go quickly, you are here, everyone doesn't even dare to raise their heads." ”

Qing Wangye said "excuse me" again, and strode away as he did when he came in.

Until he walked out of the main hall, the eldest princess Fangyi said with a smile: "Okay, he's gone, let's get up." ”

Everyone got up one after another, and Mrs. Zhou said: "Lord Qing is such a warm-hearted person, and he has been kind-hearted since he was a child. ”

The ladies followed Mrs. Zhou and praised Prince Qing one after another, Huo Sijin peeked at Huo Yuan, and saw that her cheeks were red, and her eyes were so bright that they seemed to be dripping.

Huo Zhi and Huo Rong got together, biting their ears quietly, and snickering from time to time with a handkerchief.

Back in the house, until dinner, Huo Sijin returned to his yard, as soon as he entered the house, Mama Yan asked people to close the door, retreated from the service around her, and said, "Miss, can you see today's things?" ”

Huo Si said cautiously: "I understand, Old Lady Zhou and Eldest Princess Fangyi want to take advantage of the Huo family's incident to suppress the three families of Guo, Zhao, and Lu." ”

Mama Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Miss is big again, the Huo family's affairs are just an introduction, the Queen Mother took advantage of the Huo family's affairs to slap Guo Yong's face and the emperor's face, this move is good." ”
