Mrs. Xue originally planned to add up the rice money and labor money spent on each soup kitchen, and add some more.

After all, the imperial court didn't want to care about such a thankless matter, as long as the refugees didn't disturb the people inside and outside the capital, and let them fend for themselves.

The fake soup kitchen of the big family in the capital is just to win a good reputation.

Therefore, if it weren't for the eldest princess suddenly coming forward, she wouldn't have to care about this matter at all, even if she posted the royal list asking for some donations, there was no stipulation on how much money it had to be, and every household in the capital would contribute a little money, and it would be a sign of their intentions.

But I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take out fifty taels of gold so generously, and I didn't expect Xue Jinyi, a dead girl, to actually plan to record every donation, and obviously once it was recorded, the people behind it might see how much money the Weiguo Mansion had donated.

If this money is less, it will be ridiculed when seen by other people, and if there are too many people, rumors will form in Beijing, which will affect the reputation of the Weiguo Mansion.

Xue Jinyi smiled and thanked the maid who picked up the account book, her expression was the same, as if the account book had just accidentally fallen to the ground, and accidentally spread it on the page of the prince's donation.

She couldn't catch the mistake, and looked at the king of Chu who was calmly drinking tea, gritted her teeth, and took out a sign and handed it to Steward Qiu, "You go to the account room to get ......" Her voice trembled, and she felt that her heart was dripping blood, "Take forty taels of gold to the king of Chu as a donation for the resettlement of refugees." ”

The second and third wives were both shocked and looked at Mrs. Xue in disbelief.

They know how much money is in the box.

Although King Chu and Xue Jinyi are now embarrassed in front of the eldest princess, they are not suddenly so generous, right?

Thinking of Mrs. Xue's previous eye knife, the second wife learned to be obedient this time, and did not speak, but gave a look to the third brother and sister.

The third wife sneered, wanting her to be the first bird, annoying the sister-in-law? Sure enough, he was born in a small family that couldn't be on the table, and his mind was so dirty.

She pretended not to see it and continued to look at Mrs. Xue.

The second wife silently "puffed".

Xue Jinyi is thanking Mrs. Xue, "Mother is kind and generous, Jinyi has thanked her mother on behalf of the refugees. ”

Mrs. Xue clenched her veil tightly and barely squeezed out a smile, "Originally, every family in the city was giving porridge, and this time the eldest princess is willing to come forward to preside over the resettlement of refugees, this is a great thing once and for all, so naturally I must do my best to let the refugees live comfortably." ”

What else can I do now?

Of course, it is to pretend to be generous, at least to make yourself a good name, and not to let other families gossip.

After a short time, Steward Qiu took forty taels of gold and carefully handed over the small box containing four gold ingots to the king of Chu.

In front of everyone, the king of Chu also got up and thanked him after counting that there were no problems, and waited quietly and patiently for Xue Jinyi to record the donations of the Weiguo Mansion, and then asked Mrs. Xue to sign it.

Mrs. Xue also noticed this, her brows furrowed, and when she signed the pen, the vertical of the word "Su" almost shook most of the paper.

She steadied herself and quickly signed her name, "Where is Jinyi going next?" ”

"It's up to Ah Xuan to decide." Xue Jinyi looked at King Chu with a smile.

The King of Chu also looked at her without any scruples.

Mrs. Xue sighed: "Jinyi, although the King of Chu and you are an unmarried couple, he has a noble status and a husband in the future, so it is not good to call his name directly." ”

She has never called "Ah Zhao" to Duke Wei intimately, but she has heard Xue Jinyi's dead ghost mother call "Ah Zhao" happily, and Grandpa Guo's long-standing and serious face seems to be melting ice and snow, showing a smile.

She will never be better than a dead man.

A strong hatred welled up in her heart, and Mrs. Xue felt that her nails were about to burst into her palms.

And at this time, the King of Chu's sentence of "no obstacles" added fuel to the fire, making her almost unable to suppress it.

Xue Jinyi saw that Mrs. Xue was angry and hooked the corners of her lips.

King Chu continued: "I like Jinyi to call me Ah Xuan. ”

Mrs. Xue laughed faster than crying.

She really regretted it, and regretted that she shouldn't have racked her brains to promote the marriage in order to please Queen Cai, and to justifiably use the life of the King of Chu to defeat Xue Jinyi.

I knew that it was better to stop when Xue Jinyi asked to recite the scriptures and worship the Buddha in the family temple, and fulfilled the mind of this dead girl!

It's a pity that it's too late!

With the support of the eldest princess and the love of the King of Chu, she really can't move Xue Jinyi, at least she can't do anything to Xue Jinyi on the surface.

Xue Jinyi's eyes were shining and looked at Mrs. Xue's face, as if she had seen through everything, and owed her a debt, "Mother, we have to go to another house, go first." ”

Mrs. Xue tried one or two times and found that there seemed to be a real relationship between Xue Jinyi and the King of Chu, although she didn't know why the two people who were given marriage had such a close relationship in such a short period of time, but her observation would not be wrong.

She felt that these two people were very dazzling, and she just wanted to make them disappear in front of her as soon as possible, and said a little weakly: "Go ahead." ”

Xue Jinyi saluted and left the flower hall with the king of Chu.

"I'm going to a place where I'm staying." Xue Jinyi said, meaning that she didn't plan to take the King of Chu with her.

"I'm going too." The tone of the King of Chu could not be refused.

Xue Jinyi pursed her lips and walked straight to the broken courtyard.

In the flower hall, Mrs. Xue had a terrible headache, and she didn't bother to take care of the second and third wives, and waved her hand to tell them to leave.

The second wife saw that the third wife refused to talk more, so she left with interest.

The surroundings were quiet, and Mother Qin walked in quickly with the box, looking at Mrs. Xue helplessly.

She hid outside and heard the conversation in the flower hall just now.

"This dead girl, now her wings are hard, and the fox and fake tiger are mighty!" Mrs. Xue scolded deeply, "I lost forty taels of gold in vain!" ”

Qin's mother comforted: "Madame's anger, forty taels of gold is just Huazhaolou......"

"You know what!" Mrs. Xue scolded angrily, and raised her hand to knock over the box in Qin's mother's hand.

The box fell to the ground with a "click", bounced open, and a money bank's redemption ticket floated out of it.

This silver ticket can be exchanged for five yuan in the bank, which is almost enough to buy rice soup porridge four or five times.

But now this redemption ticket is lying at her feet in a good manner, but Xue Jinyi took away forty taels of gold!

Forty taels of gold can be exchanged for two hundred and forty dollars!

Two hundred and forty yuan is actually nothing, but when I think of the five yuan that was originally prepared...... This huge gap made Mrs. Xue unable to breathe.

Mrs. Xue narrowed her eyes, and a vicious light flashed in her eyes, "The dead girl is so black-hearted, don't think that with the eldest princess as a backer, you can do whatever you want...... Xue Jinyi, sooner or later, you will die in my hands like your biological mother! ”
