The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 457 Banquet of Princess Fu’an (3)
Xiao Maoyang nodded, no objection. "You can decide these things. By the way, how much money did you spend on buying these belongings?"

Han said with a smile, "The prices in Yanzhou are low, and the total is only more than 5000 taels. Including all kinds of expenses along the way, as well as gifts, the total cost of this trip to Yanzhou is about 7000 taels. What's the matter, Master has a problem with this."

Xiao Maoyang felt a little restless, "Ming Yu told you about the academy. The academy is almost out of food."

Han said: "Is the master blaming my concubine for spending too much money?"

"Of course not. Mingxuan is married, and the public is only willing to give 1 taels of silver. The 1 taels have already been spent. Now all the money is spent from your private house, and I, a father, even add makeup to my daughter I can't do it. I'm really incompetent. Now the old man is unwilling to let go, always citing the difficulties in the house and the lack of money as an excuse, and refuses to give me the full amount of money to spend. But how can the academy continue without money? Do you want to disband it? That is my life's painstaking effort, I will never allow the academy to close, let alone agree to sell the academy." Xiao Maoyang said angrily, "Don't get me wrong, I am not angry at you. "

Han said with a smile, "Master, you don't have to be like this. My concubine understands what you want. How about this? I still have some money here, so why don't you give it to the master first. When the master finds out a way in the future, just return it." .”

"How can I use your money." Xiao Maoyang blushed, it was really embarrassing.

Han said with a smile, "What's the matter, we are husband and wife, one body, the master uses mine as if it is your own. It's only 2000 taels, master don't think it's too little."

"Enough, enough. With these 2000 taels, at least I can support it for two or three months. After these two months and the situation in the mansion improves, I will never use your money again. Don't worry, Zhixing Academy I can always figure it out."

"I believe in the master's ability." Han said with a smile.Xiao Maoyang can accept her money, which is a kind of compromise.

Early the next morning, the Han family received an invitation from Princess Fu'an, and the banquet was just five days away.Han said with emotion, Princess Fu'an is so fast, she only arrived in Zhongzhou yesterday, and sent out invitations today.

Coincidentally, Steward Xiao came to the city today and asked Xiao Mingyu about meeting the Lord Qinghe.Xiao Mingyu said directly, "Please tell Steward Xiao to go back and tell the old man that I have already met with Princess Qinghe. I also told Princess Qinghe what the old man wanted. Although Princess Qinghe didn't directly refuse, I can also see this matter. It is very difficult for Princess Qinghe. I am worried that if things go on like this, the little friendship between me and Princess Qinghe will be exhausted because of this incident. I also ask Steward Xiao and the old man to explain clearly that this matter should not be rushed, and that it is fundamental."

"Miss Seven, don't worry, I will tell the old man what you say. I also heard that Princess Fu'an is here, and he came back with Mrs. Fifth. I sent an invitation to Mrs. Fifth this morning. Is this serious?" Housekeeper Xiao asked curiously.

Xiao Mingyu laughed, "Steward Xiao's news is very well-informed, that's exactly what happened. My mother went to the city with Princess Fu'an yesterday, and many people must have seen it. As for the invitation, there is indeed something to it. Five days later, Fu'an The princess will hold a banquet in her princess mansion and invite my mother to the banquet. But I don't know the specifics. Butler Xiao wants to ask specific things, so he has to wait for a while. My mother is discussing with the stewards right now. I wonder if Housekeeper Xiao can wait."

Butler Xiao said with a smile, "Of course, the younger one is waiting for Mrs. Fifth." His attitude was much more respectful and submissive, and he was no longer as arrogant as before.

Xiao Mingyu laughed secretly. Once the Xiao family collapsed, the importance of the Han family was immediately highlighted when he received the invitation from Princess Fu'an.This made everyone in the Xiao family wait, as if seeing hope, they all wanted to grab the rope of Wufang fiercely.It seems like this, the Xiao family can stand up again.Compared with the Xiao family's contempt for Wufang and Han family before, this time's emphasis seems so hypocritical and annoying.Those people don't feel ashamed of the changes in their faces.

Xiao Mingyu ignored Butler Xiao, and only asked Han Dong to say hello.Regarding this, Steward Xiao still smiled all over his face, and he was also very respectful to Xiao Mingyu, the seventh girl whom he had never paid attention to.

Xiao Mingyu found Han Shi and told Han Shi about the matter.

Han frowned, "The old man's movements are fast."

Xiao Mingyu said: "The old man is going crazy in order to revive the Xiao family. If there is a chance, he won't let it go. Mom, are you going to see Butler Xiao?"

Mrs. Han put down the work at hand, and said: "If you don't see me, that Steward Xiao will definitely not leave. He came to see me under orders, so he won't stop until he achieves his goal. Forget it, forget it, go see him. It's better to let the old man Don't worry. Speaking of it, the old man has not been easy during this time. Originally, because of his poor health, he retired early and returned to Zhongzhou for the elderly. Originally, his health was already in a bad state, but he went to the prison and his body collapsed again. It’s down. Now the old man is supporting a sick body, and he doesn’t know how long he can last.”

"Mother, don't worry. The last time I went back to see the old man, I saw that the old man looked fine, but he lost weight."

Han frowned, "The old man is thin, which means that his body has not recovered at all. It doesn't show up at this time, and it will be terrible when it explodes after a long time. If the Xiao family loses the old man, I don't know what will happen by then." What a mess. If you want me to say this mess, throw it all away."

Xiao Mingyu smiled and said, "Mother, it's not that easy. Those are the foundation of the Xiao family, so how can they be lost unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Yeah, unless it is absolutely necessary, the Xiao family is reluctant to abandon those. Even your father now regards the Zhixing Academy as his lifeblood. If something happens, I really don't know what crazy things your father will do. Come." Han stood up, "Don't worry about the outside affairs, now that my mother is back, I will let my mother handle the outside affairs. You are a girl's family, stay in the inner courtyard for me, understand?"

"Mother, I know, you can go at ease."

Mrs. Han went out to discuss matters with Butler Xiao, while Xiao Mingyu went to find Xiao Mingxuan.

Xiao Mingxuan was not embroidering the wedding dress, but was reading a book.Xiao Mingyu was curious, "What is Fourth Sister looking at?"

Xiao Mingxuan immediately covered the book, "What are you doing here, don't bother me if you have nothing to do. I'm very busy today."

Xiao Mingyu snickered, "Is Fourth Sister doing something you can't see?"

"Nonsense. I'm just reading a book, why can't I see it." Xiao Mingyu slapped Xiao Mingyu on the head, then put the book away, but refused to show it to Xiao Mingyu.The book was wrapped in a cover, and the title was not written, so Xiao Mingyu couldn't guess it at all.
