Chapter 644 It's just that this Liao Clan joins in the fun?
Princess Ning was surprised: "What's going on, Princess Shen? Is there something wrong? Your Prince Huainan's Palace gave you five thousand taels. Naturally, our Prince Ning's Palace can't miss it. Eight thousand taels is just right." "
She emphasized the words 'Prince Huainan's Mansion' and 'Prince Ning's Mansion' a little harder.
The implication of this is that your county and prince's palace has already given five thousand taels, but our prince's palace has more than you. Isn't it normal?
Although this is the truth, today's donation banquet is held by Prince Huainan's Palace. Princess Ning gave more money than Prince Huainan's Palace. Isn't this overpowering others?
Moreover, the world always only remembers the first one, but not the second one. When the time comes, people will praise Ning Wangfu for his righteousness and kindness, and donated 8,000 taels. Who remembers that Prince Huainan’s donation of 5,000 taels!
Prince Huainan, who was in charge of this matter, was so suppressed that he was stunned to death.
Concubine Shen was very angry, but she was speechless. After all, this is a prince's palace, while Prince Huainan's palace is just a county prince's palace, which is inferior to one level.
Thinking of this, she became more and more unwilling and resentful. If she were the Queen Mother today, how could Princess Ning, a young daughter-in-law who had just married into the royal family, dare to scream in front of her or step on her face in public?
"Our Prince Huainan Mansion is the one who is organizing the donation banquet today, so naturally it is necessary. Since Princess Ning said she would give eight thousand taels, then our Prince Huainan Mansion will give out ten thousand taels. I wonder if Princess Ning wants to add some more?"
The corners of Princess Ning's lips curled up slightly: "I can't compare to the wealth of Prince Huainan's palace. Eight thousand taels is enough."
Prince Huainan's Mansion will definitely not let anyone take the lead today. No matter how much she pays, Concubine Shen will add to it. It's enough to do this once, and it won't make much sense if she does it again.
Although if he continues to add more, the palace of Huainan will bleed, he doesn't know how much he will have to take out. It is not cost-effective to injure the enemy by 1,000 and damage himself by 800.
Seeing that she didn't add any more, Mrs. Shen snorted softly.
Princess An was from an ordinary background and had always kept a low profile. She was sitting in the first seat on the lower right seat. Seeing that both of them spoke, she said: "I, Prince An, can't compare with the two of them, so I will give you five thousand taels." .”
"Huaijiang Prince's Mansion has four thousand taels..."
All the princes, counties and princes have spoken, and now comes the Duke's Mansion.
The wife of the eldest son of the Duke of Qin, Qin Ruyue's mother, spoke first: "The Duke of Qin gives me four thousand taels."
Ming and Xie Yixiao looked at each other and said: "My brother and sister and I each have two thousand taels, and together we have four thousand taels." The brothers in the family have not yet separated, so naturally they are one family.
"Four thousand taels from Cao Guogong's residence."
"Four thousand taels from Duke Lu's residence."
All the princes' mansions have four thousand taels, and it's the turn of the princes' mansions further down. Just as the wife of the Crown Prince of Jingyanghou's mansion was about to speak, she suddenly heard a voice.
"The Rong family's third bedroom is also two thousand taels."
Everyone present turned their heads and looked over, and saw that the person who spoke was Liao Zhuyin, with different expressions.
When Liao Zhuyin was young, she was much sought after by the world, and she also saw a lot of the envy and jealousy of these people towards her. Even if she married Rong Ting, because she was the third young lady of Rong Guogong's house, Rong Ting was devoted to her and wanted to kill her. Holding it in her hand, she also saw how envious and jealous these women were towards her.
Therefore, when faced with the gazes of so many people, she calmly ignored them, and even slightly straightened her spine and raised her chin, receiving the attention of so many people.
Ming frowned slightly and looked a little unhappy.
She and Xie Yixiao each contributed half and half, and together they settled the affairs of Rong Guogong's Mansion, which they had agreed upon, and they did not touch the public accounts of Rong Guogong's Mansion, but their private accounts.
The reason is also simple. It is simply that everyone knows that Rong Ci wants to inherit Prince Ding's palace. If he only contributes money in the name of Duke Rong's palace, then others will say that the couple has nothing to lose.
In this way, they were divided into two, and their husband and wife accounted for half of the number, so no one would say anything idle. After all, they had not officially inherited Prince Ding's palace, so two thousand taels would be enough.
But why is Liao joining in the fun?
Although the Ming family has not explored how much wealth Rong Ting has, she vaguely knows something about it.
When Liao Zhuyin got married, the dowry consisted mostly of books and books, and the rest was some screens, vases and other ornaments, which were not available in shops and farms.
That is to say, after they got married, the family successively allocated three shops, two farms and a house to them. However, Liao was not good at running the business, so he rented the shop and collected some money every year, as well as some of the output of the farm.
My income this year has not been high.
In the past, when their family was able to live such a luxurious life, most of it was supported by Rong Guogong's mansion, and the money they got was quickly spent, leaving little savings.
Now she dares to say something about donating two thousand taels. After she takes out this money, does she no longer have to live?
Ming didn't want to care about Liao Zhuyin's life, but she was still a little worried about Rong Ting and Rong Xiao, worried that their lives would be too hard, so she asked, "Why are you joining in the fun?"
Even if you really want to donate, given Liao Zhuyin's current status, two to three hundred taels of silver is enough. Why bother to do it?
Liao Zhuyin put down the tea cup slowly and methodically, and said slowly: "Sister-in-law is joking, how can you say that you are just joining in the fun? You and I are both sisters-in-law. Since you have already paid two thousand, naturally I can't lag behind."
"And this is also a meritorious deed. I am extremely happy to be able to help the people in the North. Even if I have to eat chaffy vegetables in the future, I will be willing to do so."
Liao Zhuyin's tone was calm, and her temperament was as elegant as chrysanthemum. "Besides, my cultivation of merit has nothing to do with my sister-in-law."
Mingshi snorted: "That's right. The merit you cultivate has nothing to do with me. It's up to you." She was meddling in other people's business. Not only did people not appreciate her, they also thought she was meddling.
Nosy.
Gu You glanced at Liao Zhuyin with admiration: "Mrs. Rong San is right. If everyone has the kindness of Mrs. Rong San and can receive more donations, the people in the North will definitely live a better life."
"Mrs. Rong San is willing to eat chaffy vegetables in order to help the people in the North. However, some people clearly know that they have rich wealth and would rather see these people live in hardship, starve and freeze, than lend a helping hand.
, not even the slightest bit of kindness as a human being.”
When Gu You spoke, his eyes turned to Xie Yixiao: "I heard that Mrs. Rong Jiu got a rich dowry when she got married, and everyone in the imperial city was envious of her. Why did she only give out a mere two thousand taels?"
Xie Yixiao didn't expect that the fire could actually burn her body. She was a little surprised, then smiled again: "I dare to ask Miss Gu, how much did Miss Gu donate today?"
