When Zhang Shilang greeted Xinyou warmly, he was also observing Xin You secretly, and seeing her calm, he had a better impression.

"I heard from them that Ms. Kou wants to donate 5 taels of silver to the disaster area?" The reason why Zhang Shilang ran over was to confirm for himself.

It's not that he couldn't hold his breath, it's that Miss Kou donated too much.

Xinyou nodded.

Zhang Shilang subconsciously wanted to ask the Shaoqing Mansion if he knew about it, he glanced at the box of bank notes from the corner of his eye, and closed his mouth in time.

Whether Duan Shaoqing knows or not is none of his business, anyway, the money is already here.

"Miss Kou is really benevolent and righteous. Zhang thanked the people of Dingbei." Zhang Shilang cupped his hands.

Xin You blesses her body: "Master Zhang has beaten a common girl."

"No, Zhang really thinks Miss Kou deserves it." Zhang Shilang said seriously.

Watching his expression, Xinyou had a lot of good feelings for Zhang Shilang.

Zhang Shilang's behavior at least shows that he takes the sufferings of the people to heart, and the weight may not be very heavy, but as long as there is, it is much better than many officials.

In this way, she can feel more at ease about the donated money.

"His Royal Highness Xiu Wang held a banquet in the lotus garden at noon on the 28th, to entertain the good people who care about the disaster victims in Dingbei." Zhang Shilang handed over the post, without saying such polite words as "I hope Miss Kou will appreciate you".

This can be said at any banquet, except for the emperor's banquet.The emperor treats guests, and all the knives in the sky have to go.

Xin You took the post with both hands: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. If Mr. Zhang has nothing else to do, Minnv will leave first."

"Miss Kou, go slowly." Zhang Shilang personally sent Xin You out, and when he turned around, he saw Yan Chao.

The serious expression that Zhang Shilang was trying to maintain was barely taut.

When did Jin Linwei come?
"Master Zhang." Yan Chao saluted and left.

Zhang Shilang glared at his subordinates: "When did Jin Linwei come in? Why didn't you remind me?"

He didn't say anything inappropriate to Miss Kou just now, did he?

The subordinate who was asked was speechless: "My lord, that deputy of the Jinlin Guard, Qianhu, came earlier than Miss Kou."

"Really?" Zhang Shilang thought for a while, but still had no impression, and the topic returned to Miss Kou, "Cough, Miss Kou is really as grand as the rumors, neither humble nor overbearing."

The corner of the subordinate's mouth twitched slightly.

If he can donate 5 taels of silver lightly, he can also be neither humble nor overbearing.

Yan Chao returned to Jinlinwei and reported to He Qingxiao about meeting Miss Kou.

"How much silver did Miss Kou donate?"

Yan Chao looked at He Qingxiao with complicated eyes.

Are you sure you want to know?

He Qingxiao slightly raised his eyebrows.

Yan Chao lowered his eyes, unable to bear to see his lord's reaction after hearing this: "Return to your lord, Miss Kou donated 5 taels."

5 taels.

He Qingxiao was not surprised, and said lightly: "Thank you."

Yan Chao looked up in astonishment.

Are adults too calm?

Doesn't it mean that Ms. Kou donates a lot and others should be embarrassed, but adults are different... don't you feel inferior because of your poverty?

Maybe he misunderstood, the adults are not happy with Miss Kou.

Yan Chao thought about it, and asked, "My lord, do you want to pay attention to the Qingsong Bookstore in the next two days? The news of Miss Kou's donation of 5 taels of silver will probably attract Xiao Xiao to covet it."

"Donating money to the Dingbei disaster area is a matter of concern today. If anyone is robbed by Xiao Xiao for donating money, the emperor will be furious and will investigate thoroughly. At that time, it will be light to kill the whole family. Generally, Xiao Xiao will not take this risk .” He Qingxiao analyzed rationally.

Yan Chao nodded repeatedly.

My lord is right, Xiaoxiao is not a fool, there are so many rich people, robbing who is not robbing, it is not worthwhile to rob Miss Kou at the risk of killing everyone.

He Qingxiao's tone changed: "But I still send someone to pay attention."

Yan Chao: "..." The lord always let him know that he was wrong when he thought that the lord had no intentions of Miss Kou.

As He Qingxiao expected, the officials in charge of donations did not intend to hide it for Miss Kou, and even secretly contributed to the situation, so as to attract more people to donate enthusiastically.The news that Ms. Kou donated 5 taels of silver to the disaster victims in Dingbei spread throughout the streets and alleys.

After Duan Shaoqing heard about it, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and couldn't resist going to Qingsong Bookstore to find Xin You.

"Uncle is here." There were many people in the study hall, and Xin You greeted Duan Shaoqing politely.

Sensing many gazes, Duan Shaoqing hurriedly said: "Uncle has something to do with you, so go to a convenient place to talk."

"Uncle, please follow me." Xin You led Duan Shaoqing into the reception room.

The chair in the reception room was covered with thick fur cushions, and it was soft and warm to sit on. While Duan Shaoqing felt comfortable, he secretly hated in his heart: Look at how lavish this girl is, throwing money all over the sky. She was defeated.

One donation is 5 taels, how dare she!
When Xiao Lian brought the tea and left, Xin You asked calmly, "What do you want me to do, Uncle?"

You don't need to ask, it must be because of the 5 taels donation.

Sure enough, Duan Shaoqing mentioned it: "Qingqing, I heard that you donated 5 taels?"

"Yes."

"Uncle knows that you have a kind heart, but you have to think carefully about everything and don't be impulsive."

Xin You looked puzzled: "I wasn't impulsive. I didn't move when I first heard about donating money for the disaster area in Dingbei. After observing for a few days, I found out that it was indeed for the relief of the disaster area, so I donated money."

"It's a good thing to donate money to the disaster victims, but this amount...is it too much?"

"Too much?" Xin You thought about it carefully, "Not counting the shop, I have more than 40 taels of silver in my hand, and I don't think it's too much to donate only 5 taels."

Duan Shaoqing's face turned black: "Qingqing, these properties are the accumulation of your grandfather and father's two generations. You have ruined all your property, are you worthy of your ancestors?"

Xin You's face sank: "Is uncle taking too much care? I am the only blood of the Kou family, and how to use the money is my own business."

"What did you say?" Duan Shaoqing didn't expect his niece to speak so harshly.

"I said uncle don't meddle in my own business. You can use my money as you want, and you don't care." Xinyou served tea and smiled casually, "Or should I wait for His Royal Highness Xiuwang or others to ask me at the Lotus Garden banquet?" From now on, uncle wants to hear that I was scolded by uncle for donating too much?"

"You!" Duan Shaoqing was startled by these words, walked out with a livid face and flicked his sleeves.

Xin You followed and reminded softly: "There are a lot of people in the study hall, uncle should be happier."

Duan Shaoqing clenched his fists and walked out of the reception room with a forced smile on his face.

Xinyou changed her coldness in the reception room, and sweetly called her uncle.

Duan Shaoqing froze, looking sideways at the smiling girl.

Xin You grabbed his sleeve: "Uncle, Qingqing knows that you are as kind-hearted as my mother, but after all you have a big family to support, so don't donate so much like me."

Duan Shaoqing tried his best to control his expression so that he didn't lose his composure, and said with a difficult smile: "Uncle knows that you love your relatives, but Dingbei has suffered such a serious disaster, and as an official of the court, uncle should also do his part."

He didn't dare to stay any longer and hurried out.

Xin You sighed, and showed a proud expression to everyone in the library: "I just persuaded you for a long time, but uncle insisted on donating more..."
