The general's wife through time

Chapter 228 Get the list
Xue Tang went to Taotie Tower not only to find Mu Xian, but also to keep an appointment with Mrs. Xia.

Mrs. Xia called Bailishi and several wives of first-rank officials in the court this time, in order to deceive Li Ying and Xue Tang.

When Xue Tang walked to the private room that had been reserved in advance, everyone was already there.

Mrs. Xia led everyone to bow respectfully to Xue Tang.

Mrs. Xia ordered hot pot, and everyone chatted while eating, and soon the topic of fundraising came up.

"The princess is impulsive. If it's a little later, I can remind the princess to donate a little bit to the fundraiser for the crown prince's concubine first. After all, if you donate it all at once, why don't you donate it to the court? After a while, no one will remember what you did. Well, unlike our fund-raising, our money is managed by dedicated personnel. Once we donate, we don’t send it all to the people at once. We can send some things to southern Xinjiang from time to time so that they can help them all the time. Remember that we are looking forward to it, and the long-term solution is to have a steady stream of water." Mrs. Xia said.

Xue Tang said calmly: "I didn't think too much. I thought your majesty was short of money, so I gave it to him. But your majesty agreed that the roads, bridges and dams built in the future would be engraved with words and monuments, and the words would be written on the stone monuments. The name of the donor, so I think this kind of donation can be more famous forever. ”

"Really?"

Xue Tang: "If you don't believe me, you can read the notice. Your Majesty asked someone to write it clearly."

When Xue Tang said this, everyone present felt that they were at a loss.

Mo Bai stood upstairs in Ruyi, watching Mrs. Xia and Bai Lishi send Li Ying away politely, and said coldly to Shopkeeper Ma beside him: "Xue Tang is going to intervene in the fund-raising, no, he has already intervened."

"What Xue Renyi? Xue Tang must be afraid that she will spend money recklessly. If you show it to her, as long as you don't take it away, she will not be able to remember it after seeing it. She is just going through the motions. We just cooperate."

Mo Bai didn't feel anything about it when Xue Tang donated money to the court, but when he knew that Li Ying was also involved in Mo Ran's donation, he immediately frowned.

Xue Tang added: "But your fundraising also benefits the people, so your method is acceptable."

"it is good."

"Okay, okay, okay." Having tasted the sweetness of leveraging her daughter's fame, Li Ying listened to Xue Tang's advice.

Mo Bai: "I don't know if she knows it, but we have to be careful. Re-examine all the business you had with Mo Ran and the Mo family's main house, clean up all the previous accounts, and put an end to those businesses." ”

Shopkeeper Ma was shocked, "Does she know something?"

Bailishi paused and suddenly remembered what Li Ying said today, "But she wants to know how her money is used. She said she would have to report to Xue Renyi when she gets back."

Still okay? This was something that her master had thought about for a long time, so why did it happen? Mrs. Xia felt as if she had been slapped in the face in public.

Those ladies who were disgusted by even breathing the air that Li Ying breathed before were now so complimentary that Li Ying felt like she was dreaming.

Xue Tang called Li Ying to her exclusive private room and said, "You can pay for it in two more days."

When Li Ying handed over the money to Bailishi, Bailishi felt that it was too little. She said to Mrs. Xia: "Xuetang is so rich. He just donated money to the court and sent money and gifts to the Xue family. Maybe we can do it again." If you work hard, you can still dig it out."

Mo Bai would be really stupid if he was happy. He gritted his teeth and said, "Xue Tang's interference is not that simple. She wants to check Mo Ran."

Shopkeeper Ma hadn't turned around yet and said doubtfully: "Didn't she interfere in a lot of things? She just wanted to make fame and fortune for the palace. She also took care of the big and unsightly house. It had no impact on us. Why didn't the head of the family not do it?" Happy?"

The meal ended quickly.

Xue Tang gained fame and fortune with the money she earned from their Mo family, but she just didn't want to let Xue Tang go.

Mrs. Xia nodded, "Well, continue to take Li Ying to participate in the event. When Li Ying gets involved, you can tell her that Mrs. Xia's circle is also divided into three, six, and nine. If she donates another fifty thousand taels, she can join Yipin The wife of the senior official was sitting together for dinner and playing cards, just like the first time we received her daughter, and then told her that her daughter could donate hundreds of thousands of taels with a wave of her hand, and give a little bit from the cracks of her fingers. She can live a life like a master, let her go to Xue Tang. "

Mo Bai was unclean, but he couldn't let others know that he was unclean, especially Emperor Jingkang.

As soon as Mo Bai made a move, Mo De knew it, "Does this mean we have been entangled with Xue Tang and want to sever the relationship?"

"Father, it doesn't matter what he does. When the Baili clan completely takes Li Ying under his wing, and we reorganize the relationship with the major families, Mo Bai will be kicked out," Mo Hao said. Mo De nodded, "Tell your mother-in-law to move quickly, our business needs a lot of money to turn around."

On the other side, Baili made an appointment with Li Ying to go to Ruyi Tower alone. After eating delicacies, she went to Ruyi Gambling House.

"The princess can earn money that is envied by the court with just a single move. Mrs. Xue really gave birth to a good daughter. Everyone in the capital envy you. The princess's card skills must have been taught by her, right? Why don't we show off her skills today? We are all sisters, stop hiding your clumsiness and let me open my eyes?"

Li Ying thought to herself: If I had that ability, would I still need to rely on others? If she dares to go out and gamble, your eyes will be opened, and you will be able to see Xue Tang beating her biological mother right then and there.

To this day, Li Ying still remembers the scene where Xue Tang pressed Aunt Xie into the soup bowl, and she still has lingering fears.

Seeing Li Ying thoughtfully, Bailishi thought that Li Ying had been deceived and continued to talk a lot.

……

Next to Jieyou Book Store, a new book store opened today called "Wuyou". It specializes in selling painting books. The boss behind the scenes is Xue Tang, the shopkeeper is Wu Feng, and the high-end technician is Wu Xie.

Because of Wu Xie's talent and Xue Tang's support, the restaurant was packed with people on the first day of opening. But not many drawing books were sold.

Wu Feng and Wu Xie found it strange.

Wu Xie ran to the backyard to find Xue Tang, "Princess, how could this happen?"

Xue Tang put down the book in his hand and told her calmly, "You can't be in a hurry when doing business. Look at the people who came today. They are all ordinary people in ordinary clothes. They just come to see the fun. They usually work hard to make a living. When you are running around, you have no time to look at painting books, let alone buy them. Your painting books were not originally sold to them. When the women in the back house have some free time, they will naturally come to you. Those people are your customers. "

Wu Xie nodded in understanding.

She was even more grateful and admired Xue Tang.

The princess is a kind person, not only giving her a chance to make a living, but also teaching her how to do business. She is simply her reborn parent.

At this time, Li Ying sneaked in from the back door. When she saw Xue Tang, she said hurriedly: "Hurry, I saw the list. I will tell you, otherwise I will forget it soon."

Li Ying spoke in a panic, but Wu Xie recorded it in an orderly manner and reminded Li Ying to recall a lot of forgotten content.

Thirty cartloads of food, fifty cartloads of clothes and quilts...

"Is this what they just sent to southern Xinjiang?" Xue Tang asked.

Li Ying: "Exactly."

Xue Tang sneered, "With clothes costing ten taels of silver each, the victims of the disaster in southern Xinjiang live in such luxury."

Li Ying: "Ten taels of silver per piece of clothing, isn't it expensive?"

"It depends on who wears it. The victims of the disaster in southern Xinjiang have no enough food to eat and have to exchange their clothes for food. How can they still afford clothes worth ten taels of silver?"

Li Ying had followed Xue Renyi for so many years and had seen a little bit of the world, and her eyebrows immediately jumped, "You mean, they are making false accounts? They spent one tael of silver to buy clothes, but recorded 10 taels, and they secretly collected the rest. Into his own pocket?"

Xue Tang: "Clothes should cost less than a tael of silver, especially winter clothes and quilts. The temperature in southern Xinjiang is higher than that in the north, so reed cotton can be used in the core. If it doesn't freeze to death, no one will care."

Li Ying: "Damn it, how dare you make such money? Are you not afraid of losing your descendants?"

She and Xue Renyi are not good people, but at least they have a bottom line and will not kill anyone. These noble ladies look glamorous on the surface, but unexpectedly, their hearts are darker than hers.

However, Li Ying felt that Xue Tang's analysis was too profound, as if he had experienced it before, but how did her daughter know this? Was it taught by the prince? It seems that the prince is indeed interested in his daughter, which is a good thing. I need to talk to him carefully when I get back.

Li Ying unknowingly thought wrongly, but Xue Tang stood up and said to Qiu Die: "Follow me into the palace."
