After Jiang You left Dali Temple, she was not in a hurry to return to the Jiang family. Instead, she went to the donation office of the Ministry of Household Affairs and donated all the 100,000 taels of silver.
"Where did the girl get the money?" Manager Hong from the Donation Office of the Ministry of Household Affairs looked at the banknotes Jiang You handed over, looking left and right, still feeling a little incredible.
The donation office receives a lot of donations every year, but this young girl is the first person to donate one hundred thousand taels at once. No matter how he looks at it, Director Hong thinks that Jiang You's donation is more of a joke.
Jiang You explained patiently: "This is what Zhongyongbo's Mansion compensated me after I broke off my engagement with Zhongyongbo Mansion. I always feel a little uneasy with such a large sum of money, so after thinking about it, I decided to donate it."
Military salary, please do your best for the soldiers who protect our country at the border!"
"You want to donate for military pay?" Chief Hong was even more surprised. The little girl was actually concerned about family and national affairs.
"Yes." Jiang You nodded, "I'd like to trouble Mr. Hong to write it down clearly. I want to donate this money to the Zhenbei Army as military pay for the Zhenbei Army."
"Zhenbei Army?" Chief Hong took a pen and wrote down what Jiang You said in detail without any hesitation.
This is the first time that the donation office has received military pay specifically for the Zhenbei Army, which is really surprising.
"The money donated by Ms. Jiang will be handed over to the Zhenbei Army as soon as possible. This is the donation letter. Please check it with Ms. Jiang. If there is no problem, please press your fingerprint." After writing the donation letter, Mr. Hong said
He took the donation book with both hands and handed it to Jiang You for Jiang You to read.
Jiang You took a look and didn't see any flaws, so she just pressed her fingerprints.
After Director Hong copied a copy, he asked Jiang You to press his fingerprints again. Then, he said to Jiang You: "Miss Jiang, please wait here for a moment. Hong will go to the Minister first and let the Minister take a look first.
After receiving the book, stamp it with the official seal, take it back and give a copy to Miss Jiang."
"Okay, please, Mr. Hong." Jiang You nodded.
Director Hong took the two donation books and left here first, leaving Jiang You to wait for him here. However, it didn't take long for him to come back, and the donation book had been stamped with the official seal of the Ministry of Revenue.
Director Hong handed one of the copies to Jiang You and said, "Miss Jiang, this copy is for your safekeeping. If you have any problems in the future, just come to us with the donation letter."
"Okay, I understand, thank you very much." Jiang You took it and said, "Since this matter has been taken care of, I will go back first. I have Lao Hong in charge."
"You're welcome. If you want to thank me, we would like to thank you, Miss." Director Hong said with a smile.
He has been coming to the donation office for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen someone donate one hundred thousand taels at a time...
Jiang You threw these silver notes out, feeling very good. When she left the household department, her face showed a sense of relief. She donated all the 100,000 taels of silver notes to the Zhenbei Army.
, this is the most gratifying thing.
The news that Jiang You donated one hundred thousand taels soon spread among the courtiers.
The officials were surprised. After asking carefully, they found out that it was a little girl who had donated one hundred thousand taels. Moreover, I heard that she was a concubine. After asking again, she found out that she was the concubine of Jiang Shilang's house. Suddenly, one after another, the officials
We all queued up to go to Jiang Renshi’s place to praise Jiang Renshi for his good teaching.
Jiang Renshi: “???”
He doesn't even know about it!
But when he heard others praising him constantly, his heart also felt a little wandering.
The most angry person was Uncle Zhongyong’s Mansion. In the blink of an eye, Jiang You was praised as a wonderful woman with a righteous heart, and it was a heinous crime for Uncle Zhongyong’s Mansion to abandon Jiang You. Uncle Zhongyong heard again that Jiang You had donated 100,000 taels.
, my heart started to bleed suddenly. The one hundred thousand taels were clearly compensated by Uncle Zhongyong’s Mansion, but were actually donated by Jiang You...
The money they paid from Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion gave Jiang You such a good reputation?
Uncle Zhongyong was so anxious and angry that he couldn't catch his breath and fainted from anger.
There was a lively discussion about this matter in the court, but Jiang You was living very comfortably in the Jiang Mansion. She donated one hundred thousand taels of silver to the Zhenbei Army, which invisibly had chosen a team for herself, but she didn't care.
, including the good reputation gained from donations, in her opinion, it is just a false reputation and not something to be proud of.
Later, the invitation from Zhenbei Palace was delivered to Jiang You.
Jiang You took a look and saw that the invitation was written in the name of Princess Zhenbei. Princess Zhenbei was in good health and invited Jiang You to be a guest at the Zhenbei Palace tomorrow. In fact, she just wanted to thank Jiang You for being at Princess Zhenbei's house.
In her eyes, Jiang You was her savior.
"Miss, you don't know, I just went to the front hall and heard everyone talking about you!" Hua Yan said exaggeratedly.
"Really?" Jiang You lowered her head and was doing embroidery work seriously.
What she embroidered was a koi pattern. Koi represents good luck. Using koi as a pattern also expresses the yearning for a better future and the expectation of good luck.
Hua Yan heard Jiang You's response, and she didn't know if Jiang You liked it, but she felt it was right to say it: "Today, there are widespread rumors about what Miss has done. Miss donated 100,000 taels to support the Zhenbei Army.
This matter has been known to the whole city! The servants in the mansion said that the young lady came back to fight for our Jiang Mansion's face this time, but young lady, you are really willing to spend a lot of money, one hundred thousand taels, just donate it.
Donate!”
Hua Yan felt distressed after hearing this, so distressed.
Jiang You said with a smile: "Those hundred thousand taels don't belong to me. Donating them will kill two birds with one stone, so why not?"
Zhongyongbo's Mansion originally had to think about how to get back the one hundred thousand taels. Now, Jiang You's actions directly cut off the Zhongyongbo's retreat. Whenever Zhongyongbo's Mansion comes to Jiang You for money, Jiang You
You can immediately get involved in all major national affairs, so how can Zhongyongbo's mansion dare to ask for this money?
In this round, Zhongyong's Mansion was undoubtedly completely defeated.
"Where's Jiang You, tell her to come out!" Jiang You was seriously embroidering the koi carp pattern when she suddenly heard a rather harsh sound coming from outside.
Jiang You paused in her movements and almost missed a thread. She frowned and looked over, seeing that Hua Yan had already gone out to see what was going on.
Soon, Hua Yan came back and said to Jiang You: "Miss, the fifth lady is here."
Jiang You put down the embroidery pattern in her hand, looked up at Hua Yan, and asked, "Jiang Ning... has it come time for her to lift her confinement?"
"Probably not." Hua Yan shook her head, "It's probably Aunt Qin's plea for mercy or something, so she came out early. It was also early last time..."
"Okay..." Jiang You stood up and walked out of the house, saying, "Okay, I'll go meet her."
She really couldn't figure out why Jiang Ning, a stupid person, couldn't wait to come to her place to increase his presence as soon as he was released?
It was the same last time, and it’s the same this time again. If it doesn’t work, it won’t work!
