Crowned with Pearls

Because there is such a big piece of fat hanging in front of Shibosi, all the noble families have generously donated their money, and the ladies have begun to express themselves. Madam Bai is especially cooperative. She even said: "We can't take out too much. But with 1,200,000 taels of silver, we can still try our best to raise money for the court. The court’s training of the navy is for the sake of the people, and it’s only good for us, so we should naturally do our best.”

  's words are very beautiful and nice.

The Xu family naturally couldn't let Madam Bai focus on beauty, Madam Xu smiled and said: "Mrs Bai said so, and our intentions are naturally the same. Our Xu family can also donate silver rice to fight against meritorious soldiers. Rewards, this is also a little bit of our heart."

  The atmosphere became lively at an unprecedented time, and everyone was afraid that their donation rate would be slow and the amount would be small.

   Mrs. Pingguo breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Su Yao, and a smile flashed in their eyes.

When the banquet was over, Mrs. Ping Guogong asked the mothers in charge to send the ladies out, and she shook her head softly with Su Yao: "After so many years, this is the first time I have seen these noble families talk so nicely, and I'm not used to it. "

Su Yao also smiled, took the ginseng tea handed over by Jinping, and said, "Everything in the world is for the benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for the benefit. In the end, it's just a word for profit. For these families, their current status There is a lot of money, but who would refuse more money? Besides, there is still the position of the Shibo Division waiting ahead, but anyone who takes the position of the Shibo Division will have an immeasurable impact on their entire family. Everyone can calculate the account, and they must be able to calculate it clearly, so there is no need to discuss it with the front, and you can decide the amount yourself."

Mrs. Pingguo had already taken the previously registered book while she was talking, and she raised her eyebrows after a glance: "The sum of the numbers here adds up to 1,300,000 taels! This is a huge sum! "

   Since ancient times, it has been said that troops and horses should go ahead without food and forage. With this silver tael, Qi Tianyou will start training the navy immediately!

Su Yao was also very satisfied with this amount, and raised her eyebrows with a smile: "It's just a verbal donation, I'm afraid it's not that easy to make a decision, they must go back and have to continue to discuss with the family. Yes, let's get ready here first, let's just hold a banquet in the name of this time, invite all these noble families to come, and then give the banknotes or money directly. Only in this way can it be regarded as a real donation. ."

  Some people promise happily, but it will be extremely difficult to wait until they are asked to fulfill.

  Since this step has been done, it is natural to be cautious and appropriate.

Mrs. Pingguo didn't think that Su Yaolian had taken this into consideration, and she couldn't help but take over the conversation: "Don't say it, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I'm not too embarrassed to say this. It's better. I'll arrange it now, let's make the banquet bigger, and how sincere they are depends on who can give the money the fastest!"

  Su Invitation agreed.

   Mrs. Ping Guogong stayed in Su to invite dinner again: "Anyway, let's taste the craftsmanship of the cook in our house. I know that you like spicy food. This time, there happens to be a cook from Hunan in the house, who is very good at cooking!"

  Su Yao declined with a smile: "There are still some things to do, and I will come back to disturb Madam in a few days."

She speaks very firmly, hearing her say that, Mrs. Pingguo also knew that she couldn't keep it, so she could only smile and say: "Since Concubine Taisun said so, then I don't dare to keep you. Now, next time you can come and walk around, the imperial concubine always tells us that you are the best to get along with, and if you say something arrogant, we have always thought that the concubine Taisun will look at it as her own junior."

The meaning of    closeness is clear at a glance.

Everyone loves to hear nice words, not to mention that Su Yao also intends to befriend the Pang family and Concubine Pang Gui. Besides, in Zhejiang, everything needs the cooperation of Duke Pingguo, so she answered bluntly: "Madam, please rest assured. , as long as I have time, I will definitely come here."

   Mrs. Pingguo personally escorted her out the door, and when she saw her getting into the carriage, she turned around and went back.

Jin Ping lowered the curtain and squeezed his shoulders for Su Yao: "I'll loosen up your muscles and bones for you. It's too tiring to talk and chat with these ladies. Especially that Miss Zhou, she doesn't know. so-called!"

   A girl who has not left the cabinet, I don't know why she has such a big temper. Su Yao clearly treats all the girls with courtesy, but Zhou Wei is aggressive, which is simply inexplicable.

  Su invite raised his eyebrows: "Forget it, it's just a little girl."

   She is not a fool, she is the daughter of a military attache, she is chasing after her for no reason, aggressive, why?

   is nothing more than moving his mind towards Xiao Heng.

   She knew Zhou Wei's thoughts very well, but she didn't feel angry at all. It's useless for a woman to think about this kind of thing? Only incompetent women can guard against women. Before her relationship with Xiao Heng, she was really worried about gain and loss, but since she made up her mind to be with Xiao Heng, she never thought about tying Xiao Heng.

   Self-discipline is useful. If Xiao Heng has his own thoughts, how can she stop these girls, what's the use?

She didn't care about Zhou Wei at all, but Zhou Wei didn't like Su Yao at all. On the way back, she complained to Mrs. Zhou: "Why did mother listen to her and drive me outside to blow the cold wind? What is she so arrogant about? If it wasn't for His Royal Highness to take a fancy to her and promote her as a princess, she is just a woman who has been raised outside a merchant's family for more than ten years!"

  Mrs. Zhou was absent-minded. Hearing her daughter say this, she did not reply for a while.

   Zhou Wei bit his lip and sneered: "She is bossing me today, but it's just relying on His Highness's prestige! If I am standing next to His Highness, what is she?"

   Mrs. Zhou came back to her senses. Hearing what she said, she coughed: "You really are getting more and more outrageous. Where did you say it?"

   said so, but the reprimand was soft and without strength.

Zhou Wei went even further: "That's right, mother! Don't you also say that it's impossible for His Highness to have only one Taisun concubine by his side? Besides, if I can be by His Highness's side, our family can also participate in the shipping! "

Mrs. Zhou was originally worried, but when she was interrupted by her daughter, she couldn't help laughing angrily, and she reached out and poked her daughter's forehead: "You are really, you are not ashamed, you dare to say anything! Listen! Listen to what you're saying?"
