Chapter 41 The show begins

Fatty Bai lamented, "Sigh... It turns out that powerful people have to suffer the consequences of their children's stupidity."

The corners of Skinny Monkey's mouth twitched. Why did this man have such a strange focus? He calmed down and said, "But my cousin's cousin's brother-in-law's brother-in-law's cousin also said that the floods in Zhuzhou are particularly severe. We have to raise donations again, starting from the ministers.”

"Donate?"

"Just donate, it's none of our business anyway!" Fatty Bai sipped his tea, chirped, and returned the peanuts.

The skinny monkey was speechless. He seemed to have bought the peanuts himself...

"It's none of our business, but I heard rumors that the master wants to donate more to restore his reputation!"

"Really? Is there really someone who wants fame without money?" Fatty Bai was so stupid that he didn't hit the muzzle of the gun at all.

The thin monkey was tired and could only continue to say, "I am a high-ranking official. How can I be short of money? What I want is a good reputation and a lasting reputation. Have you not forgotten the calligraphy treasure given by your Majesty? 'The best is like water'!"

"How big of a comment is this? Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor, has decided not to let down His Majesty's love, so this news is probably true!"

Fatty Bai didn't care about reputation, he only cared about money. Thinking of donating money, he asked curiously, "Have you heard how much money Taifu plans to donate?"

The skinny monkey's mind turned around quickly, and his brain flashed with light. He stretched out his hand under the table and gestured in a low voice, "At least this number!"

"What? So much?!" Fatty Bai was shocked. This master was really willing to give away such a large amount of family property. I really couldn't tell.

It really deserves to be called "the best is like water"!
  "Then I think the word Your Majesty sent you is too light. Your Majesty is really setting an example..." Fatty Bai said with emotion.

The thin monkey was tired, but finally felt that he understood the meaning.

Then he drank all the tea in one gulp, moistened his throat, and left with fists in his hands.

He really couldn't stand this stupid fat man, why was he so tired.

The fat white man on the other end was still sighing, Mr. Zhang is really righteous!
  Someone from another table came over and asked, "Boss Fang, do you know that guy just now?"

Fatty Bai was stunned, "I don't know you!"

"I don't know why you've been chatting with him for so long?" the visitor muttered in a low voice.

Fatty Bai suddenly felt the desire to talk and said excitedly, "The reason why he chatted with me for so long is because he heard that Master Zhang wanted to donate money to the people of Zhuzhou."

"How much do you donate?"

Fatty Bai looked embarrassed, "He said fifty thousand taels of silver!"

The visitor gave a thumbs up and said, "The great master is righteous!"

After Fatty Bai finished speaking, he stood up to leave. The waiter stopped him and said, "Hey!! Sir, you haven't paid yet?"

"What do you pay for?" Fatty Bai wiped the excess oil from his mouth and blurted out.

The waiter laughed awkwardly and said, "Stop joking, you have to pay for the tea and peanuts on this table, right?"

Fatty Bai's hand wiping his mouth froze and he was stunned!

After Skinny Monkey went out, he entered another teahouse and replied in the side room, "Miss, I have already said what I said."

"Did you encounter any problems?" Xiao Tingyun asked.

The skinny monkey Dazhu is a servant of Xiao Mansion, to be precise, he should be Xiao Tingyun's man.

Zhu Zhu replied, "It's not a big problem, it's just that the person asked me how much I planned to donate? The younger one didn't say anything and just stretched out one hand!"

"When I was little, I thought five thousand taels would be enough." Zhu Zhu was a little embarrassed and smiled back.

Xiao Tingyun nodded and raised the corner of his mouth, "It's nothing, it's just a rumor. It's just someone standing there, so I have to go down the ladder given by others!"

"It won't be long before we know whether this ladder is easy to get down."

After returning home, Xiao Tingyun met his father. "Father, strike while the iron is hot. My daughter thinks it's better to go to the Taifu's house in the evening to ask for money?" Xiao Tingyun suggested with a sly smile.

Xiao Huanshan sent a message to Duke Xu's Mansion and asked General Zhenbei to go with him to Taifu's Mansion.

Not long after, Xu Huaili was riding a brown horse, wearing a majestic riding outfit with sleeves, followed by ten soldiers carefully selected from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

All of them had solemn faces and stern eyes.

Xu Huaili raised his right hand and the entire team immediately stopped, waiting for orders!
  "You guys wait outside the door, I'm going to visit Mr. Xiao." Xu Huaili said solemnly, then he lowered his body weight and dismounted neatly sideways.

"Yes!"

Xu Huaili followed the servant into the house, his eyes not squinting, the wind blowing under his feet.

Xiao Tingqi was wondering at the corner, "Why is General Xu here?"

Mei Xiang, who was next to her, said, "It seems like we are going to the second master's yard."

Xiao Tingqi followed him for half the way and found that he was really going to the second uncle. It was probably because the second uncle was sent by His Majesty yesterday.

"Second Master, General Xu is here."

"Please!" Xiao Huanshan said hurriedly in the study.

Xiao Tingyun stood up and said, "Father, I'll leave first. I hope my father can win this time!"

"Then I'll lend you my daughter's good advice." Xiao Huanshan laughed.

Xiao Tingyun met Xu Huaili head-on and greeted him slightly, "General Xu."

Xu Huaili paused and said, "Miss Xiao Er."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Xiao Tingyun left without staying too long.

Xu Huaili lowered his eyes and remembered the words between father and daughter just now...

She probably didn't know that she practiced martial arts and had better hearing than ordinary people.

The atmosphere in Zhang's mansion was still gloomy.

"Bang!" Zhang Zhongshan raised his hand and clapped it, causing water in the teacup to splash out on the table, and Zhang Shengmin was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

"You idiot with unwavering nature! How come I was so smart all my life and gave birth to such a ungrateful thing like you?!"

"Having an affair with a lowly maid and giving birth to a concubine, doing such a shady thing, causing such a scandal, will make the whole capital laugh!"

Zhang Shengmin didn't expect that this matter would cause such a big fuss. The unfilial daughter had already been beaten half to death by him.

"I thought that His Majesty's favor that day would bring the family's glory to a higher level, but I didn't expect it to be even better! But it was even more hilarious!!!" Zhang Chongshan was so angry that he pointed at his nose. scold!
  Zhang Shengmin said, "Father, Chu Chu was also killed. That maid was not recruited. She said she felt there was no good place to go, so she took other people's money and planned to redeem her from the house so that she could have a good future!"

"Shut up!" Zhang Chongshan scolded in a deep voice, "Don't tell me about the bad things in your back house. If you don't manage it well again, you will ask to be exterminated! From now on, you are not allowed to mention that you are my son, Zhang Chongshan!"

"Father!" Zhang Shengmin panicked. He couldn't be exterminated, and his abilities were limited. He could only achieve this position, and his father's help was indispensable.

"Originally, when such a scandal happened, it would be better to have her twist her hair and become a sister-in-law to preserve the reputation of our Zhang family. Otherwise, it would be okay to kill her, but His Majesty made the decision and allowed the two families to get married!"

"There has never been such a shameful thing in our Zhang family! It's all thanks to your good daughter! It also affected the marriages of other children in the family!" Zhang Zhongshan had a calm face and carefully considered the pros and cons.

"My son must be well disciplined and he will never let them get into trouble again!"

"Master?! It's not good!" the housekeeper shouted anxiously.

"Why are you panicking?!" Zhang Zhongshan was in a depressed mood and couldn't bear to hear the words "It's not good".

 Still want to go crazy! ! !

  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ()
