Reborn to marry the emperor's uncle, being pinched and coaxed every day

Hua Ling looked at Sima Jiao helplessly, hoping that Sima Jiao would come forward and say a word or two for her.

But doomed to be disappointed.

A middle-aged man's voice came from the top of the hall: "Thank you for coming to Moxiang Villa today. Because the weather is ruthless, the sun is scorching, and the poor people have no money to buy ice. Many people have fallen ill due to heatstroke. Today, I invite you all to come here , to raise donations for the common people, no matter how much money is, it is a heart, and the specific amount will be recorded on the merit wall in front of the Moxiang Villa. Then the top three calligraphy and painting people will be selected, and they will be able to enter the library for a one-year period. "

There was an uproar in the hall, all of them were countable families in the capital.

Donating money is just a small matter.

What is rare is the opportunity to come to the library of Moxiang Villa anytime of the year.

Moreover, the top three in calligraphy and painting in the whole capital has greatly made a splash.

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a talented scholar and a talented woman, and she is worthy of the name.

Undecided men and women will naturally double their worth.

A better marriage can be found.

Guo Yunxiang secretly gritted her teeth. Although she must be engaged, she still wanted to be number one, which would make her more honorable among the royal clan.

Hualing was the one who was unhappy. Since she was a child, she was so focused on learning heresy ways that she never seriously studied calligraphy and painting.

What should I do today to highlight myself and make His Royal Highness King Qin fall in love with her?
Huayang didn't have such thoughts, only young girls were interested in such things. She has been a human being in two lives, and she has long passed the age of being competitive.

But in two lifetimes, I have never seen what the owner of Moxiang Villa looks like.

She looked up and saw that the owner was 50 to [-] years old, although he was wearing literati clothes.

Holding a folding fan.

But what exudes from his body is fierce air.

Especially a pair of eyes, is radiant.

It made her slightly unhappy.

She looked at Sima Jiao beside him,

"This owner doesn't look like a weak scholar."

Sima Jiao nodded: "Well, it's not easy."

It's just the owner of the villa who has no official position, so the two of them didn't discuss too much.

After tasting the specialty of the villa, lotus seed sorbet, we started fundraising.

The two little bookboys took the trays and walked to the young masters and ladies present one by one.

People who come here today are all carrying bank notes, and no one will carry a lot of information on them.

Everyone raised money ranging from 200 taels to 50 taels.

There is also an old gentleman in the hall taking notes.

The little book boy has already passed in front of more than half of the people holding the tray.

When he walked in front of Guo Yunxiang, the little Shutong was very surprised.

Rubbing his eyes, he suspected that he was wrong.

The silver notes in the tray are...

1000 two
"Miss Zhongyong Houfu donated 1000 taels!" the little book boy said loudly.

The old man wrote it down.

There was a lot of discussion in the hall.

"It's no wonder that after Zhongyonghou, Miss Guo really has a kind heart."

"That's right, the people in the capital will sing and praise such a big arm."

"Miss Guo really has a compassionate heart."

Guo Yunxiang benefited from everyone's praise.

She wanted this kind of effect, so she reluctantly paid the 1000 taels.

The people who were lost in the queue at the gate of the city just now have turned back.

But she didn't notice that those who praised her were all young masters.

Those noble ladies didn't say a word, holding their handkerchiefs.

Lowered his eyes.

Hiding the disapproval in his eyes.

It's too much!

Who doesn't have the 1000 taels of silver anymore.

Everyone can follow the unspoken rules and not deliberately show off.

It's her, Guo Yunxiang, who is capable.

It seemed that she was the only one who cared about the common people.

The little book boy continued to walk past several noble ladies and gentlemen with the tray.

In front of Huayang.

"Miss Hua of Taishifu donated 180 taels of silver."

The little book boy reported a number that the ladies were very satisfied with.

The Grand Master’s Mansion has a high status, so it’s okay to donate less, and if it’s more than 200 taels, the other noble girls will lose face.

So Huayang donated this amount, at worst she asked the ice bank to send more ice to the people.

There's no need to fight for the top spot here.

She doesn't want to be like Guo Yunxiang, she knows the thoughts of those noble ladies very clearly.

Hua Yan naturally donated 180 taels like her elder sister.

When the tray arrived in front of Hualing, Hualing also donated 180 taels.

It's just that she also put a hairpin inlaid with gold and jade on her head into the tray.

This is the first lady to do so.

The little book boy didn't know how much silver this hairpin was, so he hesitated for a moment.

Report: "Miss Hua Er of Taishifu donated 180 taels and a golden hairpin!"

Now the noble ladies couldn't hold back any longer, their eyes like knives shot at Hua Ling.

Another one who doesn't understand the rules!

Huayang didn't expect Hualing to still have such thoughts today.

Hualing is different from Guo Yunxiang, Guo Yunxiang can't understand the contemptuous eyes of noble ladies.

But Hualing didn't care.

What she wants is fame and the praise of all the men present today.

Sure enough, those sons took out what they praised Guo Yunxiang just now and praised themselves.

Hua Ling lowered his head shyly.

Guo Yunxiang's chest hurts in anger, it's in vain that he has always had a good relationship with Hualing.

Unexpectedly, it was Hua Ling who stole the limelight at the critical moment.

The little bookboy took the tray and brought it to Sima Jiao.

"His Royal Highness King Qin donated 5000 taels."

There was no sound of discussion in the hall, and there was silence.

Hua Yang stared at Sima Jiao,
He whispered: "What are you doing! It's not like that if you have a lot of money!"

Sima Jiao covered his mouth with a folding fan:
"Anyway, the money goes into my daughter-in-law's pocket."

Hua Yang's face suddenly turned red.

Indeed, the ice storage in the capital is basically hers.

"Your Highness is the one who truly loves the people. My little girl really admires her."

Hua Ling took the lead in complimenting her.

Then there are the praises of many princes and ladies.

Because no one would think that Sima Jiao was trying to show off.

They are real princes and princes.

The country of one's own family, the people of one's own family.

Besides, if anyone refuses to accept it, take out 5000 taels of silver.

In this way, the top three donations today are Sima Jiao, Hua Ling, and Guo Yunxiang.

But Guo Yunxiang's 1000 taels was not enough.

So Guo Yunxiang's face, which hadn't been complacent for a long time, became gloomy again.

The owner of the villa promised that the purchase of ice with the money was done in pen and paper, which was absolutely transparent.

There will never be a case of private embezzlement.

Then please young masters and ladies go to the back mountain to enjoy the scenery, paint and write poems.

"There is a beautiful scenery in the back mountain. You should have never been there before. There are shaded trees on the top, cold spring water below, and constant cool breeze. It is definitely cooler and more comfortable than an ice basin."

The owner described it so well.

People who are already impatient with the hot summer can't wait to go there immediately to feel it.

Sima Jiao was surrounded by several sons and walked to the front.

Huayang was already in a lack of interest and walked at the end of the crowd.

"Miss Hua, in today's game, the icehouse's income will double again."

The cool and pleasant voice makes people like to listen to it from the bottom of their hearts.

Hua Yang recognized Xiao Yan's voice without turning around.
