Chapter 73: The Chu Family's Dedanshu Iron Coupon and Imperial Plaque
"It turned out to be the son of General Chu and the elder brother of the crown princess, no wonder he dared to donate forty thousand and one taels." Someone sighed.
It seems that this Chu General's Mansion is going to start a war with the Xiao Guogong Mansion. The crowd was thinking in their hearts.
At General Chu's mansion, Bai Xiao came to pass the word: "General Chu, those congratulatory gifts, please donate them in the name of General Chu, this is the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"In my name? Shouldn't it be in the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
General Chu was puzzled, most of the people who gave gifts were aimed at His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the prince, and the more he contributed to disaster relief, the more the people would love him.
"His Royal Highness said, General Chu is good, that is, Miss Chu is good, Miss Chu is good, he is good."
General Chu almost burst into tears, he didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to protect his daughter so much, and he still loved the house and Wu. Then he would be disrespectful.
One by one, the boxes were carried out from the General's Mansion, all the way to the mighty and mighty, looking at the lively crowd, a wave of shock was not over, and another wave came.
Those boxes were sent to the fundraising location, and the circle of onlookers expanded and expanded before they could be put down.
"What is this?" The person in charge of recording the money also opened his eyes, stood up and looked, this is emptying all the family funds to donate money for disaster relief?
"The old slave was ordered by General Chu to make a donation." Steward Cao stepped forward and clenched his fists.
Immediately, there were smart people who thought of the scene of the general's mansion receiving congratulatory gifts that day, and this was a congratulatory gift.
In addition to shock, there is also admiration in the hearts of the people, the Chu family is really for the country and the people, and they have no selfishness. The third prince of Chu had just donated 40,000 taels and 10,000 taels, and General Chu had brought so many treasures.
The Chu family will be famous in the capital today. is worthy of the crown princess's maiden family.
But the one who recorded it was worried, how should this be settled?
"Don't worry, my lord, I brought the list with me, my lord just counts and records it first, and then finds someone to estimate the value."
The man breathed a sigh of relief:
"Thank you, General Chu, for your righteousness. The people in the disaster area will surely remember the kindness of the general. ”
Even just counting the list took half an hour. There are countless treasures that make the onlookers breathtaking.
Those officials who went to the General's Mansion to give gifts a few days ago also got the news one after another, and they felt a little remorseful in their hearts.
After seven days of tossing, it seems that after a huge family competition, the statistics were finally completed on the eighth day.
The people crowded at the notice early to wait to see the results, especially those who donated money, which was not much worse than the release of the imperial examination.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's posting."
Sure enough, the officials put up the notices with neat movements, and some literate people began to read:
"Chu Zhengnan, the general of the protector of the country, donated 150,000 taels of silver, and gave the Danshu iron coupon!"
"Oh my God, 150,000 taels, I've never seen so much silver in my life." Someone exclaimed.
"It is a blessing for our people to have such a great general who protects the country." There are also people who sigh.
"Chu Wenjin, a product firm, donated 40,000 taels and gave the emperor a plaque."
"The two firsts were taken by General Chu's family, it's really a tiger father without a dog." For a while, the praise for the Chu family continued.
"Ahh
Everyone looked at the lucky person who was stuck at the end, some were envious, and some were still looking for their names.
In the court, the emperor's hearty laughter also spread throughout the hall: "Hahaha, Zhong Aiqing, this fundraising, I am very relieved, I am very relieved!" The prince's method is good, and he should be the first to take the lead. General Chu has also made great contributions, and he has taught his son well, and it is a blessing for the prince to marry your daughter as the crown princess. ”
"The emperor is wise!" In this wise voice, some people are happy and some are worried.
Jun Lingyun hooked his lips and smiled, the Danshu iron coupon, and the imperial plaque were all allowed to go to General Chu's family, which was very good.
Xi'er's backing is even stronger, and if someone wants to move her in the future, they will have to weigh the strength of the Chu family.
Jun Hongyan hung his arms to go to the court, originally thinking that the Danshu iron coupon was his, but he didn't think that he spent 100,000 taels of silver, and he was even compared to General Chu.
He couldn't figure out why General Chu could receive so many gifts in one day? These moths, it seems that he usually squeezes too little, so that they still have spare money to tie up the prince.
There is also that Jun Lingyun, who did not pull out a hair, but took the lead in the work, and he gave out 100,000 taels together, and he couldn't even hear a sound. The group of foolish people even said that he was ruined and eliminated.
General Chu also felt as if he was floating in the clouds, which was not very real.
He took advantage of the power of the prince to take a first name, Chu Wenjin, his son, even established a business house without making a sound, and made so much silver? I really underestimated this kid before.
Originally, in the past few days, there were still people who impeached General Chu for extravagance and collecting money in the name of the prince, but now they have all shut up and become mute.
Xiao Guogong also clenched his teeth, it seems that the tiger is not powerful, and he is regarded as a sick cat.
The emperor has just announced that the names on the merit tablet will be ranked by the amount of donations. Even a stinky boy dared to press him on the merit monument.
The disaster relief funds were solved, and the emperor was in a good mood, so he arranged for the decentralization of the silver and the silver, and retired early.
"Lord Liu!" When Hubu Shangshu heard General Chu calling him, he barely squeezed out a smile, "What's the matter with General Chu?" ”
General Chu held the Danshu iron coupon and came to the Hubu Shangshu:
"It's not a big deal, it's just that Lord Liu's ranking on the merit tablet is a little low, just to comfort me."
General Chu took out a free hand, patted the shoulder of the head of the household department, and then walked away, leaving the household department secretary in the same place, wanting to scold but couldn't scold.
On the way back to his home, General Chu found that the people were more respectful and friendly to him.
When he returned home and changed into civilian clothes, he went to a product firm for a walk, which was quite large-scale and orderly, especially when he saw the emperor's autograph plaque, he called good boy, good boy, hahaha.
Now that the prince's dowry gifts have been put into storage, and the congratulatory gifts have also been donated, General Chu finally has time to deal with Chu Wenzhong's affairs.
ordered someone to call Chu Wenzhong back, and went to the Earl of Yongkang Mansion together.
"It turned out that my father-in-law was here, and I was disappointed, so please come inside."
Yong Kangbo personally greeted him. More polite than ever.
Since his wife came back from the General's Mansion, they were nervous at first, and then there was no movement for a few days, and they thought that what the Chu family was going to do had never happened, and they continued the marriage contract. Unexpectedly, after a few days, he came to the door.
"Yongkangbo, don't shout, after today, we won't be in-laws." General Chu had a straight face, he hadn't forgotten the insults Xi'er received.
"General Chu, what are you talking about? Last time, it was all the insider's own opinion, and I have already punished her for grounding. General Chu has a large number of them, so don't delay the children's marriage. ”
"Yongkangbo, the so-called family, is to do things by one person, and the whole family is responsible, I will not let my son have such a mother-in-law."
"General Chu is angry, as the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage, General Chu will look at the face of the second prince, forget the unpleasantness, if General Chu is still angry, then I will compensate you for the insider."
Yong Kangbo said that he was about to make a move, General Chu immediately turned sideways to avoid it, no matter how Yong Kangbo said it, he was also a prince, and he could really accept his courtesy.
