When she returned to the mansion, she rushed into the accounting room and frantically calculated the accounts with the abacus and accounting room. Before she could finish the calculation, Eunuch Mu Ru followed her with the Minister of the Ministry of Accounts and asked the Crown Princess to pay seven bills to the Concubine Xian first.
One hundred thousand taels, the remaining emperor will find a way to get the concubine to hand it over.
Yuan Qingling watched the boxes of gold being carried out from the door of the house and put on the carriage destined for the treasury. She couldn't even cry. The gold was about to be sent out before it could be warmed.
Is the emperor too impatient? It's as if she doesn't want to give it.
Eunuch Mu Ru and the Minister of Household Affairs moved very quickly and quickly moved it properly. Eunuch Mu Ru said to Yuan Qing: "The Crown Princess's filial piety is very touching."
The Minister of Hubu also looked at Yuan Qingling with great excitement. He didn't know much about the inside story. He only heard that the Crown Princess donated money to the national treasury. The Ministry of Hubu was short of silver, so the 700,000 taels were deposited into the national treasury. Anyway, it was
To make up for it a little bit, at least the military expenditures can provide some more.
Under the eyes of Yin Yin, Yuan Qingling squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "It's only 700,000 taels, it's wet and broken!"
No one understood her, and no one wanted to see her weird expression. The group of people drove away in a carriage. Eunuch Mu Ru turned back and waved to her, "Crown Princess, go back, don't send her away!"
Yuan Qingling returned to the main hall and sat down with the support of Ah Si and Man'er. Not to mention Yuan Qingling, even Ah Si and Man'er felt heartbroken. However, they didn't know the inside story and really thought that Yuan Qingling was...
The person who donated a sum of money couldn't say anything to her, so she could only give her a few compliments reluctantly.
Yuan Qingling was silent for a long time, holding back her tears, she raised her head and said, "What time is it?"
"It's the end of the Youshi period, will the prince be back soon?" Man'er said.
Yuan Qingling sighed, "I'm afraid he won't come back for dinner tonight. Let's start dinner. By the way, we will be frugal in the future. We will eat three meals a day, and only one meal will have meat."
Ah Si smiled and said, "That won't happen."
"As for that!" Yuan Qingling said solemnly, the money is not enough to begin with. When can we get back the 700,000 taels, and can the college be opened? Now that the land we are looking for has begun, all the money has to be paid.
go out.
Thinking of this, she couldn't even eat her dinner, so she just took a sip of soup and went back to her room.
It is true that Yu Wenhao did not come back to eat, and did not return to the mansion until nearly midnight. When his mother-in-law said that Yuan Qingling had not eaten, he immediately returned to Xiaoyue Pavilion.
When he opened the door and walked in, he saw Yuan Qingling sitting on the Arhat bed in a daze. The child was not around, so he asked: "Are you going to stop making trouble tonight?"
"It's noisy," Yuan Qingling said subconsciously when she saw him coming back, and then squeezed out a smile, not to let her see her sadness, lest he think that he was reluctant to pay for the money, "It's been a while.
, I fell asleep after eating milk.”
Yu Wenhao sat over, stretched out his hand to lift her chin and looked into her eyes, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy? Who messed with you?"
Yuan Qingling took a deep breath, with a smile on her face, "I'm not unhappy, but I just felt a little uncomfortable after eating too much at night."
Yu Wenhao pinched her cheek gently and said, "You're lying, you didn't even eat tonight. Are you full from the northwest wind?"
When Yuan Qingling heard this, she almost burst into tears. Wouldn't he have to eat the northwest wind? He was robbed of 700,000 taels alive, so why not eat the northwest wind?
"I'm wrong. I went to the palace at noon to have a meal with my father and the concubine. The royal meal is delicious." Yuan Qingling said.
"Have you entered the palace?" Yu Wenhao was startled, and then said angrily: "My father must have asked you to get the money. I already told you that I will hand over the money in two days. I asked Gu Si and Jing tonight
I said, each of them is willing to lend me one hundred thousand taels, and I will pay it back in three years without charging interest. My father was afraid that I would regret it, so I asked you for it first. Did you give it? If so, I will wait for Gu Si and Ling Yan to take it tomorrow.
Let’s make up for the money and go back to the school, so as not to delay the affairs of the college.”
Yuan Qingling's face changed a little, "How much does your father want you to give?"
"You asked me to give you 500,000 taels. Where can I get it?" Yu Wenhao looked disgusted. "After talking about the price for half an hour, I said that I can get up to 200,000 taels. Moreover, my mother-in-law is his concubine, and his concubine made a mistake.
Why don't you get part of it yourself? Let the Su family take the rest. In the end, he was really helpless by what I said, so he agreed to the two hundred thousand taels."
Yu Wenhao's words struck Yuan Qingling's head like thunder, causing her whole body to feel hot and feverish. The heat rushed from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head, and her hair almost stood on end. She screamed, "Twenty
Wan Liang?"
Yu Wenhao was startled by her reaction. He thought she thought she was giving too much, so he said with some embarrassment: "Old Yuan, you have to understand me, she is mine after all..."
Yuan Qingling pushed him away, jumped off the Arhat bed and wandered around the room without wearing any shoes. When she saw his sword hanging on the wall, she grabbed it with one hand and ran out. Yu Wenhao was frightened and immediately
He hugged her and said, "Oh my god, Old Yuan, are you crazy? Put down the dagger quickly? Then I will give you less. I will give you one hundred thousand taels, and you can negotiate the price."
Yuan Qingling could still negotiate the price after hearing this, but her eyesight went dark and she almost fainted. She jumped in Yu Wenhao's arms, raised her sword and shouted in a sad voice, "Let me go, I've been blackmailed and robbed."
, robbers, bandits..."
When Yu Wenhao heard this, something was wrong. He took the sword and threw it back on the table, hugged her and comforted her, and then asked: "Father, how much did you ask for? How much did Eunuch Mu Ru take away?"
Yuan Qingling lay slumped on the Arhat bed, taking a deep breath to survive, with deep sorrow and despair, "Don't ask, don't ask today, don't ask tomorrow, don't ask in this life, don't mention this again.
For this matter, just treat me as dead today, and when I come back to life tomorrow, I will treat my grudges with my father as something that happened in my previous life, otherwise I will not be able to live anymore."
Yu Wenhao looked at her pitifully. Oh my God, I'm afraid I gave her too much. Looking at her like this, I don't know how much she gave.
He hesitated for a moment and guessed a number, "Isn't it three hundred thousand taels?"
Yuan Qingling lay on her back and twitched her shoulders, wanting to die.
Yu Wenhao was shocked, "Oh my God, my father is so good at deceiving, 300,000 taels? Why are you willing to give it? 300,000 taels, do you still have enough money to build a college?"
"Stop talking about it!" Yuan Qingling waved his hand weakly, "Don't mention it again, or I will kill you."
Yu Wenhao hurriedly comforted him, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. Just give it if you give it. Three hundred thousand taels is not much, our family can afford it. Later I will ask Gu Si and Jingyan for two hundred thousand."
Once the subsidy goes back, the shortfall of 100,000 yuan won’t be a big problem, and we will live frugally in the future.”
