Along the way back home, Yuan Qingling felt extremely upset.
She tried her best to convince herself that at least she had such a good son, so what if she paid 800,000 taels?
Can I buy a Lao Wu?
But, 800,000 taels, 800,000 taels, heaven! After returning to the house, she rushed into the accounting room, and used the abacus and accounting room to calculate the accounts frantically. Before the calculation was completed, Eunuch Mu Ru came with the accountant
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance followed and told the Crown Princess to pay 700,000 taels for the Concubine Xian first, and the remaining emperor would find a way to get the Concubine Xian to hand it over.
Yuan Qingling watched the boxes of gold being carried out from the door of the mansion 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 like she doesn't give it.
Eunuch Mu Ru and the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue 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, but 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? Can the college still be opened?
Now all the land is under construction, and all the money has to be spent.
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?
Not happy?
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?"
Yuan Qingling almost burst into tears after hearing this, but wouldn't he have to suffer from the northwest wind?
You were robbed of 700,000 taels alive, why don't you take advantage of the northwest wind?
"That's 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 for the money. I already told you that I will hand over the money in two days. I asked Gu Si and Jingyan tonight and they both were willing to lend it to me."
One hundred thousand taels, to be paid back in three years without any interest. Father was just afraid that I would regret it, so I asked you for it first. Did you give it?
If you give it, we can wait until Gu Si and Ling Yanyan get the money tomorrow and go back to the school to make up for it, 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 five hundred thousand taels. Where can I get it?"
Yu Wenhao looked disgusted, "After discussing the price for half an hour, I said that the maximum I can get is two hundred thousand taels, and the mother-in-law is his concubine. His concubine made a mistake, so why can't I get part of it?"
Let the Su family take the rest. In the end, he was really helpless by what I said, so he agreed to the 200,000 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, thinking that she thought she was giving too much, so he said in a bit of embarrassment: "Old Yuan, you have to understand me, she is mine after all..." Yuan Qingling pushed him away and jumped
She got 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 so frightened that he immediately hugged her, "Oh my God, old man
Yuan, are you crazy?
Put down the dagger quickly?
Then I’ll give you a little less, I’ll 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. He hugged her and comforted her for a while before asking: "Father, how much do you want?
How much did Mr. Mu Ru go 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, God, I'm afraid she gave her too much?
Look 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, three hundred thousand taels?"
Why are you so willing to give it?
Three hundred thousand taels, do you still have enough money to build a college?"
"Stop talking!"
Yuan Qingling waved her hand weakly, "Don't mention it again, or I'll 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.”
