Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 40
What Master Feng said was that although the plaque was sent to the Yan family, it was not for them, but for Jiang Fu personally. If Jiang Fu and Yan Wenhua reconciled, Jiang Fu could take the plaque away. An imperial plaque.

And those of them who have already separated from the big house have nothing to do with this plaque.

The intestines of the other people who want to understand are almost green with regret, but there is no way, their family is divided very thoroughly, even the paperwork and everything have been transferred to the yamen, and now they want to go back on their word.

Jiang Fu looked at the faces of the other members of the Yan family, and felt extremely relieved.

As the capital city, the news spread very quickly. Coupled with the court's intentional publicity, the news that Mrs. Yan's family donated 300 million taels of silver to the court for the people of Yuning Mansion soon spread throughout the Jing Dynasty. It's coming.

Jiang Fu originally donated the 300 million taels of silver just for her sister, but now she feels that even without Jiang Man's relationship, her donation of 300 million taels of silver is worth it.

What business people value most is reputation. With such publicity, the business of both Jiang Fu's store and Yan's store will be better.

Seeing that the Yan family had made so much profit from donating silver, some other big merchants were annoyed at why they hadn't thought of donating silver to the court earlier, and at the same time they quickly expressed to the court that they were also willing to donate silver.

Especially those merchants who are richer than the Yan family, they can't donate less than what Jiang Fu donated.

Emperor Yong'an himself didn't expect the effect to be so good. The people in the household department were all smiling these past few days, and they were no longer the look of frowning every day because of money.

The money donated by the merchants and the money donated by the ministers were not only enough to allow the victims of the disaster in Yuning Mansion to survive the winter safely and rebuild their destroyed homes, but also greatly filled the treasury.

In a short period of time, the Ministry of Household Affairs should no longer be short of silver envoys, and Emperor Yong'an didn't have to worry that one day he wouldn't even be able to pay the salaries of his ministers.

After solving the disaster relief problem, Emperor Yong'an could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and then he remembered Jiang Man who had contributed a lot directly and indirectly to this matter, and went to Yufuyuan instead.

In the harem, everyone has long heard that Jiang Meiren's sister took the lead in donating 300 million taels of silver to the court.

Hearing this news, the more sensitive concubine in the harem blamed her family members for not being up to date, but at the same time realized that Jiang Meiren's favor will be indispensable in the next period of time.

So it was not surprising that they were envious and jealous after hearing that Emperor Yong'an, who hadn't entered the harem for a while, went to Yufuyuan as soon as he entered the harem.

Ever since Jiang Man heard her sister donated the money, she understood how her sister said she would help her when the second prince washed the third.

But at that time, the news about the earthquake in Yuning Mansion had not yet reached the capital, so Jiang Man was a little puzzled how her sister knew about it.

In fact, it was a coincidence that Jiang Fu knew about this. She had wanted to open the shop under her name to the north for a long time. After the move, he immediately sent a message to Jiang Fu.

However, although Jiang Man was puzzled, she was not entangled in this matter, as long as she knew that her sister was spared no effort to help her.

My sister has spent so much money, and she can't let her money go to waste. Jiang Man has been preparing for Emperor Yong'an's arrival since she knew the news.

When Emperor Yong'an came, Jiang Man was making small clothes for the second prince. There were two braziers in the room, and the medium-sized silver frost charcoal was burned in the room. Although it was not too cold, it was not as warm as the palace where the earth dragon was burned.

"I wish Your Majesty the peace." Jiang Man saluted Emperor Yong'an.

"Aifei, please get up." Emperor Yong'an stepped forward and helped Jiang Man up himself, and asked, "What is Aifei doing?"

Jiang Man replied softly: "I am doing needlework with the maid beside me."

Emperor Yong'an squeezed Jiang Man's hand, and said: "Just leave it to the servants to do such a thing, Aifei hurt her eyes carefully."

Jiang Man smiled and said: "Don't worry, your majesty, the concubine is very lazy on weekdays, most of them are done by Shang Gongju and the people around her, and the concubine just occasionally wants to do something."

This was the first time that Emperor Yong'an heard himself say that he was lazy. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he picked up the unfinished little clothes and looked at them, curiously asking: "Is the clothes worn by the second prince so small?" ?”

Jiang Man explained, "The emperor has never seen the clothes worn by the second prince when he was born, and they are only the size of a concubine's palm. Compared with those at that time, the clothes made now are much larger."

Emperor Yong'an looked again, and found that the workmanship of the clothes was actually very good, not to mention the fine stitching, and the little tiger embroidered on it was also cute.

When putting down the clothes in his hands, Emperor Yong'an accidentally found a purse protruding from the dustpan, and his eyes lingered on it for a moment.

Jiang Man followed Emperor Yong'an's line of sight, and said embarrassingly: "I am very grateful for the emperor to allow me to keep the second prince by my side until the full moon. I can't just say thank you verbally when I think about it. I just made such a purse, but I was afraid that what I made would not meet the emperor's eyes, so I never dared to give it to the emperor."

Emperor Yong'an felt fresh, he was the emperor, he did not know how many ministers and concubines had been favored, but no one had ever prepared a thank you gift for himself.

Emperor Yong'an took out the purse by himself, and found that the purse was very well made, and he liked it very much no matter the color or appearance.

He handed the purse to Jiang Man's eyes, and said, "I like it very much, please help me bring it."

On Emperor Yong'an's waist was a yellow purse embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, which looked quite new. Jiang Man didn't know if this purse was also given by a concubine in the harem, or whether the purse she made would hang on it. Someone took it off after a while, she just obediently took off the purse from Emperor Yong'an's waist and handed it to Zhao Quanfu, and hung the one she made on Emperor Yong'an's waist.

After that, Emperor Yong'an sat in Yufu Garden for a while, talked to Jiang Man for a while, and prepared to leave after dinner in Yufu Garden. He had no plan to stay overnight in Yufu Garden, and Jiang Man did not stay .

Firstly, it was because she had not been confinement for a long time, and her body had not fully recovered. Secondly, Emperor Yong'an had been busy with disaster relief work during this period, and his face was still tired, so he definitely needed a good rest.

Jiang Man sent Emperor Yong'an to the gate of Yufu Garden, Emperor Yong'an said to Jiang Man, "Go back, it's cold outside, I'll come back to see my concubine."

"Okay." Jiang Man replied, but she still waited until the figure of Emperor Yong'an disappeared before turning back to Yufu Garden.
