Chapter 185 Uncle, don’t donate too much

Author: Willow leaves in winter

While Zhang Shilang was greeting her warmly, he was also secretly observing Xin You. He saw that she was calm and composed, which gave her a better impression.

"I heard from them that Miss Kou wants to donate 50,000 taels of silver to the disaster area?" The reason Zhang Shilang came over was because he wanted to confirm something in person.

Either he couldn't hold himself back, or Miss Kou had donated too much.

Xinyou nodded.

Zhang Shilaoxu consciously wanted to ask Shaoqing's house if he knew about it. He glanced at the box of banknotes with his peripheral vision and shut his mouth in time.

It has nothing to do with Duan Shaoqing whether he knows or not. Anyway, the money is already there.

"Is Miss Kou really a benevolent and righteous person? Zhang Xie went to bed for the people of Dingbei." Zhang Shilang crossed his legs.

Xin You was blessed and said, "Master Zhang has destroyed the daughter of the people."

"No, does Zhang really think Miss Kou is worthy of her?" Zhang Shilang said seriously.

Xin You looked at his expression and felt a lot of affection for Mr. Zhang.

Zhang Shilang's behavior at least shows whether he takes the people's sufferings into consideration. The weight may not be very heavy, but just asking for it is much better than many officials.

In that case, she can be more assured of the money she donated by mistake.

"Prince Xiu Diandong hosted a banquet in the lotus garden at noon on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month to entertain the kindhearted people who care about the victims of the Dingbei disaster." Zhang Shilang handed the post to him without saying any polite words like "I hope Miss Kou will appreciate her."

You can say that at any banquet, but you can't say it at the emperor's banquet. If the emperor is inviting guests, even if the sky is in the east, Daozi has to go.

Xin You took the post with her legs: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. If Mr. Zhang has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

"Miss Kou, go slowly." Zhang Shilang personally sent Xin You out and turned around to see Yan Chao.

The serious expression that Mr. Zhang tried so hard to maintain was barely tense.

When did the Jinlin Guard come?

"Master Zhang." Yan Chao bowed and left.

Zhang Shilang asked Zhai Xu: "When did that Jinlin guard come in? Why didn't we remind me?"

He didn't say anything inappropriate to Miss Kou just now, right?

The Dongzhi who was asked was speechless: "Sir, the Deputy Qianhu of the Jinlin Guard came earlier than Miss Kou."

"No?" Zhang Shilao thought for a while, but he was not impressed, and the topic extended to Miss Kou, "Well, Miss Kou is indeed as grand as the rumors, neither humble nor overbearing."

The corners of Dongzhu's mouth twitched slightly.

He asked if he could donate 50,000 taels of silver lightly, and he was neither humble nor overbearing.

Yan Chao returned to Jinlin Guard and reported his encounter with Miss Kou to He Qingxiao.

"How much money did Miss Kou donate?"

Yan Chao looked at He Qingxiao with particularly complicated eyes.

Are you sure you want to know?

He Qingxiao raised her eyebrows slightly.

Yan Chao lowered his eyes and couldn't bear to see his master's reaction after hearing this: "Reply to your master, Miss Kou donated fifty thousand taels."

Fifty thousand taels.

He Qingxiao was not surprised and said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Yan Chao looked up in shock.

Are you too calm, sir?

It is true that they should be embarrassed if Miss Kou donated too much, but adults are different...aren't they at all ashamed of their poverty?

Perhaps he misunderstood, the Lord is not pleased with Miss Kou.

Yan Chao reflected on Yidong and asked: "Sir, would you please pay attention to Yidong Qingsong Bookstore in the next two months? If the news of Miss Kou's donation of 50,000 taels of silver spreads, I'm afraid Xiaoxiao will covet it."

"Donating money to the Dingbei disaster area is a matter of concern. If someone is robbed by Xiaoxiao for donating money, the emperor will be furious and will investigate and deal with it. It will be easy to kill the whole family. Generally, Xiaoxiao will not take that risk.

." He Qingxiao analyzed rationally.

Yan Chao nodded repeatedly.

Your Majesty is right, Xiaoxiao is not a fool either. There are so many rich people that they can rob anyone. It is not worth it to rob a bandit girl with the risk of having everyone in the house beheaded.

He Qingxiao's tone changed: "Bu Nao will send someone to pay attention to Yidong."

Yan Chao: "..." Sir, when he thought that he was wrong about Miss Kou, he always let him know that he was wrong.

As He Qingxiao expected, the official in charge of the donation had no intention of hiding anything for Miss Kou, and even secretly encouraged the situation to attract more people to donate. The news that Miss Kou donated 50,000 taels of silver to the victims of the Dingbei disaster spread widely.

Streets and alleys.

After hearing this, Duan Shaoqing almost spit out a mouthful of old blood and couldn't help but go to Qingsong Bookstore to find Xin You.

"Uncle is here." There were many people in the library, and Xin You greeted Duan Shaoqing politely.

Feeling the gazes coming from many people, Duan Shaoqing went and said, "Uncle, I have something to do with me. Let's go to a place where we can shut up easily."

"Uncle, please come with him." Xin You led Duan Shaoqing into the guest room.

The chairs in the reception room were covered with thick fur cushions, which were soft and warm. While Duan Shaoqing felt comfortable, he secretly resented in his heart: Look at that girl's big legs and big feet, and her enthusiasm for throwing money all over the sky. The family's wealth will not last long.

Just beg to be defeated by her.

One donation costs 50,000 taels, how dare she!

After Xiaolian gave the tea and returned to Dong, Xinyou asked calmly: "What does uncle want to do with him?"

You don't need to ask to know whether it was because of the donation of 50,000 taels.

Sure enough, Duan Shaoqing mentioned it: "Qingqing, I heard that I donated fifty thousand taels?"

"no."

"Uncle knows that I have a kind heart, but I have to think carefully about everything and don't be impulsive."

Xin You looked puzzled: "He was not impulsive. When he first heard about donating money to the Dingbei disaster area, he didn't move. After observing for a few months and finding out whether it was true, he donated money to help the disaster area."

"It's a good thing to donate money to the victims, but is that amount... too much?"

"That's too much?" Xin You thought carefully, "Not counting the shop, he already has more than 400,000 taels of silver, so donating 50,000 taels doesn't feel like much to him."

Duan Shaoqing's face turned dark: "Qingqing, those properties are the accumulation of my ancestors and my father. I have ruined all my property, can I afford to wrong my ancestors?"

Xin You's face sank: "Uncle, does he care too much? He is the only bloodline of the Kou family. How to use the money is not his own business."

"What did I say?" Duan Shaoqing didn't expect it to be so embarrassing for her niece to shut up.

"He said that uncle doesn't want to meddle in other people's business. He can use his money however he wants. I have no control over it."

When asked, my uncle wants to hear him say that he was scolded for donating too much?"

"Me!" Duan Shaoqing was shocked by those words, and walked out with a livid face and rolled up his sleeves.

Xin You followed and reminded softly: "There are many people in the library, uncle, please be happy."

Duan Shaoqing clenched his fists hard and forced a smile on his face when he walked out of the reception room.

Xin You changed her cold attitude in the reception room and sweetly called her uncle.

Duan Shaoqing froze and looked sideways at the girl with a bright smile.

Xin You grabbed his sleeve and said, "Uncle, Qingqing knows that you are as kind-hearted as his mother, but after all, you have a big family to support, so you would never ask to donate as much as him."

Duan Shaoqing tried his best to control his expression without losing his composure, and said with difficulty: "Uncle knows that I feel sorry for my relatives, but Dingbei was hit so hard that as an official of the imperial court, I should do my best."

He didn't dare to stay any longer and hurried out.
