Chapter 256: Madame's Righteousness
"Does the Qi Wangfu have a lot of property?"
Hua Rong asked curiously, her lifeless eyes were a little brighter, like a person walking in the desert who suddenly found a water source and was attracted by his family property.
It was Mrs. Huo, the niece and daughter-in-law of the Queen Mother, who asked Hua Rong to ask for the family property, and her son Huo Mingfeng entered the palace to participate in the palace banquet before, and said a few bad things about Hua Rong, and was knocked out of two teeth by Jiang Yunhua in public.
The two young masters of the Zhongyong Mansion have made meritorious contributions, and the momentum is flourishing, Emperor Showa did not dispose of them, Mrs. Huo couldn't swallow this breath, and only embarrassed Hua Rong in public today.
Seeing that Hua Rong was hooked, Mrs. Huo smiled and said: "Yes, King Qi is His Majesty's younger brother, and he is very talented, he ran a lot of shops before, although he accepted the continuation, but there is no big expense, and the family property should be very rich." ”
King Qi's family property is indeed rich, but all the money was secretly transferred to Chenzhou, so that Mo Jinzhou could use it to rebel.
Hua Rong pretended not to know and looked at the queen: "Queen Mother, is what this lady said true?" Was my father so good? ”
Since the crown prince was imprisoned, the queen has been angry and sick, she doesn't know the truth of this rebellion very well, she only roughly knows that it has something to do with the king of Qi, she is a little dissatisfied with Mrs. Huo mentioning the king of Qi on this occasion, but she still suppressed her temper and said: "The king of Qi did leave some family property. ”
"Great!"
Hua Rong cheered happily.
It was a bit rude to make such a move on such an occasion, and many people couldn't help but hide their lips and laugh.
In the end, it is not the golden branches and jade leaves raised by the royal family, not only can he not hold his breath, but he also sees the money and his eyes are open, and he is very philistine, which is no different from the clown who jumps the beam.
Mrs. Huo was very satisfied with Hua Rong's reaction, and the evil anger that she had been holding back for a long time finally came out, but before the corners of her lips rose, Hua Rong got up and knelt in front of the queen: "Lingqing's parents have long since died, and Lingqing has the courage to donate all the family property left by his father to compensate the families of those soldiers who died in battle in Yuanfeng County, and he can be regarded as doing some modest help!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people who were still laughing just now froze.
Hua Rong didn't want to ask for the family property left by King Qi back to spend it for herself, but to donate it to the martyrs' families, so high-spirited, who could be qualified to laugh at her?
The queen's eyebrows furrowed because of Hua Rong's words.
If Hua Rong wants King Qi's family property to spend it herself, it is quite easy to spend, but now she said in front of so many people that she wants to donate her family property to support the families of the martyrs, so she has to send the money to the military department and register it.
If this is less, won't others say that she, the mother of the country, deducts the family property of an orphan girl?
But the treasury is empty, and the family property left by King Qi has long been used up, where will this money come from?
The queen's body is not yet well, and when she encounters this kind of bad thing, she can't help but be a little irritable, she glanced at Mrs. Huo, and deliberately said: "There have been too many things recently, and the palace is a little busy and confused, since Mrs. Huo knows so much about the affairs of the Qi Palace, do you know how much family property the King of Qi left behind?" ”
Mrs. Huo is a member of the Queen Mother's mother's family, in the early years, the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Queen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good, and Mrs. Huo added oil and vinegar in the middle in order to please the Queen Mother, and the relationship between Mrs. Huo and the Queen has not been good.
As soon as the queen's words came out, the eyes of many ladies of the family changed when they looked at Mrs. Huo.
King Qi had been widowed for several years before Na Xuxian, what did Mrs. Huo mean by caring so much about a widower?
Mrs. Huo didn't expect the queen to embarrass herself on the spot, her old face was a little unbearable, she gritted her teeth and said: "The queen has misunderstood, the courtiers don't know much about the affairs of the Qi Palace, and the courtiers just heard the husband mention it by chance, and the husband said that the shops in the hands of the King of Qi are running very well, and they are converted into cash, not to mention tens of thousands of taels." ”
The big families in Hanjing all run shops, and this amount is astronomical for ordinary people, but it is nothing to them.
Mrs. Huo also knew that the queen didn't want to take so much silver out, so she deliberately blocked the queen.
The queen's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, she thought for a while and said: "The Zhaoling chaos has just been decided, in addition to the families of the martyrs who need to be compensated, the people affected by the turmoil also need to be resettled and rejuvenated, Your Majesty has exempted the local taxes for half a year, and the palace also wants to do something for the people, Lingqing has the courage to donate all the family property left by the King of Qi, haven't you been touched in the slightest?" ”
Speaking of the back, the queen's tone became more serious, almost indicating that everyone should donate money.
The crowd who was happy to see the excitement immediately looked at Mrs. Huo sadly.
If it weren't for Mrs. Huo's deliberate provocation of Hua Rong, how could the queen suddenly ask everyone to donate?
Hua Rong was very satisfied with this development trend, looked at Mrs. Huo, and said with a grateful face: "If it weren't for Mrs. reminding, Lingqing wouldn't have thought that his father would have left the family property behind, and Mrs. still has so much pity for my orphan daughter, and should be even more sorry for those sons who died for Zhaoling, right?" ”
Hua Rong directly deducted Mrs. Huo's high hat.
Mrs. Huo usually wants to be faceless, and she will not admit in public that she has no pity at all, she just wants to embarrass Hua Rong, but if she follows Hua Rong's words, she is afraid that she will offend most of the ladies of the family present.
Mrs. Huo realized that she had underestimated Hua Rong, and was a little annoyed, and she didn't know how to answer, when a gentle voice remembered: "Madame is righteous, the younger generation has been taught, although A-Yao is not from a high background, she is also willing to contribute to Zhaoling." ”
Lou Yao said as she walked over to Hua Rong and knelt down, took off all the accessories on her body, and presented them together with the gifts she had received before.
Hua Rong didn't expect Lou Yao to stand up and help her speak, she was a little surprised, but she turned her head to Lou Yao's eyes that were bent into crescent moons.
It turns out that the little girl is not only cute, but also has a sense of justice.
Since you can't avoid donating money, you can't let others steal the limelight.
Others have also expressed their willingness to donate money.
The situation has been decided, and Mrs. Huo has no choice but to accept this hat.
At the next banquet, Mrs. Huo kept a cold face, as if she had been ransacked by bandits.
It was late at night when the feast ended.
Lou Yao and the Yin family went out of the palace together and got into the carriage, Lou Yao couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, I think the master of Lingqing County is very good, why don't you seem to like her?" ”
Lou Yao lived in Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion after entering Beijing, and she didn't know much about Hua Rong's past, she helped Hua Rong speak out of justice, and it wasn't until the end of the dinner that she slowly came back to her senses.
Mrs. Huo didn't really do it for the good of the county lord, but she deliberately dug a pit but was counterattacked by the county lord.
But the county lord is noble, very intelligent, and beautiful, why does the aunt dislike her?
Lou Yao looked at Yin's with a curious expression, not knowing that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, poking Yin's sore spot.
Yin sighed secretly, and said earnestly: "Good boy, eat more walnuts in the future." ”
"Why?"
"Replenish your brain."
“……”
Lou Yao was at a loss, was she just disgusted by her aunt?
