Chapter 495 Xiao Nuobao cuts leeks
Jiang Fengze left home at noon to take his brothers to patrol the West Mountain.
Before leaving, he whispered to Xiao Nuobao for a while, and then the little fat girl rolled into a ball, laughing and pinching her leg flesh, as if she had picked up money.
At this moment, when she heard that the person who paid the donation wanted to see her, Xiao Nuobao knew that it was her turn to come out.
So she rubbed her little face that hurt from laughing, twisted her little body to sit down, and then asked Zheng Ma to invite the person to the guest hall.
Bai Jian rushed over with a group of people, and burst into tears as soon as he arrived.
"Princess, please have mercy and save my son's life!"
"Can't we just give up the donated officials in this border area!" Several people were pale, and it was obvious that they didn't sleep well.
In the morning, Mu Yihan deliberately claimed to be sick and stopped the morning court.
They wanted to look for Ali, but Ali not only closed the door and refused to see them.
He even told someone to tell them that the imperial decree had been issued and that the emperor was not joking. If they did not obey, they would be defying the imperial decree!
Everyone was completely dumbfounded. After racking their brains, they had no
choice but to ask the Jiang family for help. After all, the imperial prestige was very important. Apart from the little princess and the Jiang family, they could not find any other family that could talk to the imperial prestige.
At this moment, Bai Jian and the others were all at a loss. They
were almost ready to kowtow to the little fat girl.
"Princess, please help us make concessions. As long as the imperial prestige is willing to revoke his order, we don't need a penny of the donated money."
Xiao Nuobao put his hands on Xiao Pang's waist, raised the goat milk tea and took two sips, then pouted and shook his head.
"That won't do!"
"I heard from my father that in order to send your family to take up the post, he even arranged for food and guards to go on the road in advance." The little guy didn't hesitate to tell lies.
"Ah...what?" Bai Jian and the others almost fell down after their eyes went dark.
"But." After Xiao Nuobao drank a lot of milk, he burped and said, "If you are willing to pay for this expense out of your own pockets, maybe my father won't be angry anymore, and things can turn around." As
soon as these words came out, everyone seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly agreed.
"Okay, okay! We can't let the court waste money, we will pay for it ourselves!"
"Thank you, Princess, for showing us the way!"
"We will go back and raise money and never cause trouble for the court!"
Bai Jian and others were so angry that they rushed to the house like arrows, eager to empty their pockets.
Although they are all high-ranking officials and nobles, they usually yell and shout outside.
But when it comes to caring for their children and grandchildren, they are no different from ordinary people. Even if they have to spend all their family assets, they must buy the safety of their children.
They accept that they can avoid disaster by spending money!
So, within half a day, except for Zhou Chuncai who hated the Jiang family, the rest of the donors came to visit with money and food!
Jiang Fengnian happened to be on leave, so he took two servants to be in charge of collecting in the front yard.
Jiang Fengnian's eyes hurt from counting the boxes of silver, but he didn't dare to be careless, after all, it was related to the military factory that his sister wanted.
"The Bai family, the Minister of War, sent 3,000 taels of silver, signed."
"The Zhang family, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, sent 4,000 taels of silver, signed."
"The rich Lu family sent 20,000 kilograms of grain, registered and stored."
"..."
Silver, banknotes, grain... were sent to the mansion like water!
However, these were just "ransom fees".
Since the matter was handled by the Jiang family, these people who asked for help had to show some appreciation.
So along with the money and grain, they also prepared valuable gifts for Xiao Nuobao.
There were all kinds of red corals half a person's height, telescopes from the West, gold hairpins and jade bracelets, and famous stones and antiques.
The Zhang family gritted their teeth and simply gave all the dowry they had prepared for their daughter to Xiao Nuobao.
Mrs. Feng and her two daughters-in-law watched from the side, their faces almost splitting with laughter.
Only then did they understand what it meant to go the longest way, which was the routine of the imperial teacher.
These wealthy donors paid silver twice and received a bunch of treasures, but in the end, they got nothing except getting angry and anxious.
On the contrary, the imperial teacher got the silver, and he didn't have to really give him an official position, he got something for nothing.
When Xiao Nuobao ran to the yard, she saw the Qiangong Babu bed given by the Zhang family, and her eyes lit up like two stars!
She stomped her short legs, turned around and looked at it, and screamed with excitement.
"Mom, how can there be such a big bed? It can accommodate ten little pigs!"
Feng hugged her and teased, "Now it's good, mom doesn't have to worry about you getting fat and crushing the kang. This bed is as big as a small house, even a little fat pig can live in it!" The
little fat pig reserve didn't get angry when she heard it. As long as she got something good, she couldn't stop smiling.
The step-out bed sent by the Zhang family was simply too heavy.
There were ceilings all around the top and bottom, all made of yellow pear flowers and wood.
The bed beams, corridor columns, and steps were all carved with delicate landscape paintings. The whole thing looked like a small house.
Li Qiqiao walked twenty steps inside before she saw that in addition to the bed, there were two rows of cabinets, tables and chairs, washbasin racks, and even a place for the toilet was specially designed.
"This is not a place to sleep, it's a toilet and washing room all in one!"
Li Qiqiao exclaimed, "If it were someone who didn't like to go out, they could probably stay in there for half a month and still live a normal life
." Mrs. Xiao was there, she had seen this before, so she said, "The Zhang family who sent the bed are from Jiangnan. The wealthy families in that area will order craftsmen to build a bed for their daughters when they are born."
"It takes three or four workers two years to make a bed like this. It's a precious item." Mrs. Xiao also looked envious.
Feng was surprised and sighed at the same time.
"I'm afraid this bed is enough for the villagers of the whole village to eat for a whole year. The Zhang family is willing to send it as a gift, which shows how rich they are. No wonder the imperial teacher wants to make them bleed." Feng frowned.
Little Nuobao felt a little guilty when he saw the expensive gift.
But when she heard her mother say that, her conscience was instantly forgotten. She ran into the bed, like a curious little kitten, touching and looking around, and finally jumped on the bed in a frolic, holding up her feet and rolling around twice.
"Mom, with such a big bed, I won't go out to eat or drink water in the future, just wait for you to bring it to me!"
After having enough fun, the little Nuobao poked his head out and smiled with teeth showing.
Feng sneered and complained to Madam Xiao, "Look at this little girl, now she has to call her mother."
When this was said, the women all smiled with their eyes squinted, as if they had never called her before.
After laughing, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but said with envy, "We are both mothers. If my little boy Xiao is willing to order me around, I would be more than happy."
"It's a pity that he chases after Mr. Jiang all day long. If this continues, I'm afraid that even I, as a mother, will be incorporated into your family." Mrs. Xiao shook her head helplessly.
It's true that those who are thirsty will die of drought, and those who are worried will die of worry.
Some mothers are "annoyed" all day long, while others are "looking forward to" their children.
The mothers of the two families exchanged their experiences, and then they came to the conclusion that boys are heartless, and it is better to have a concubine!
Fengnian and Fenghu were still grinning, sitting by the door, listening to the women's gossip.
Suddenly, they were caught in the crossfire, and they both felt aggrieved.
"Mom, we have a good son!!"
