Chapter 219 Living Bodhisattva
“…”
Chu Wenjing was stunned for a moment when he heard that his aunt had inherited the late emperor's teachings and loved money to her core.
"Aunt, if those honest officials can't come up with the money, wouldn't it be bad to let them sit at the bottom?"
"This is very simple..."
Chu Youning chuckled and flipped through the invitation:
"For honest officials, it's just a banquet, and they don't really care where everyone sits.
If no one is willing to spend money, then won't this last position still be ranked according to the normal official position?
But if those people who hold small positions and receive low salaries can casually take out large sums of money, either they have problems or they are ambitious. Isn't it good for everyone to screen and distinguish them?
Otherwise, do you think my cheap brother would agree so readily? "
Chu Wenjing was stunned.
Then he nodded lightly.
He didn't expect that his little princess was a bit wise but appeared foolish.
"In that case, Wen Jing should take this most expensive invitation."
It is really inappropriate for the current crown prince to sit at the same table with the empress dowager and the emperor.
"My dear nephew is so generous."
Chu Youning stood up with a smile, and when he was about to leave, he seemed to have thought of something and continued to speak:
"By the way, the eunuch you assigned to your sixth nephew is a woman. Her real name is Ruan Yuyan. Remember to look up her background. She seems to like peach wine very much."
[Since my silly nephew is a nice guy, I'll give him some information to help him out. If I expect him to find out that the girl is a girl, I'm afraid it will be too late.]
[Speaking of which, a pretty girl has been pretending to be a eunuch for this silly dog. She should go to Ye Tianque to get some drugs to tease the young lady. A pretty girl can't keep wasting her time like this. ]
"Okay, Auntie, I'm leaving now. You don't have to come out to see me off."
Chu Youning waved his hands and disappeared from Chu Wenjing's sight in an instant.
He looked at the direction where Chu Youning left and bowed, with a grateful smile in his eyes: "Thank you for your advice, auntie. I know what to do."
Thinking of his little princess' lively and cheerful appearance, and how his spoiled sister had become much cuter now, Chu Wenjing came up with a plan in his mind.
The little princess wanted to have contact with Yan'er, so... he would go along with it.
"Rong Heng, inform Rong Yi to continue to go to the Prince's Mansion to protect the little Prince's safety. Also, have him tell Han Shuang to follow his aunt in the future."
"yes!"
Today, all the prefectures received invitations from the palace.
The officials had little doubt about this outrageous operation of selecting invitations, and they all concluded that His Majesty was short of money again.
Qinglian Zhengjie was unmoved. Just as Chu Youning had expected, he took the ordinary invitation without hesitation.
Some people who sit on the last train to eat and never see the sun will choose VIP if they can afford ten taels of silver.
As for the SVIP, those who are able to see the emperor face to face at close range, apart from those who are wealthy, those who have always wanted to flatter him but never had the chance before, will take the lead.
later.
An invitation made of gold foil appeared out of nowhere, allowing SVVIPs to dine at the same table with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, causing a huge stir.
To be able to sit at the same table with the emperor in one's lifetime is such an honor that it would naturally make those who want to curry favor with him extremely excited.
Thus, in just one night, the invitation card that was worth 100 taels of gold was sold for 10,000 taels.
Upon learning that the price of the invitation was still rising, Chu Wenzong felt both happy and upset.
The good news is that his sister really knows how to make money, and she has given him a list of officials with suspicious funds.
The bad thing is...
Under normal circumstances, some officials should not earn so much money until they die even if they work for the royal family for their entire lives.
Although this termite exists in every era, but... I feel upset every time I think about it.

Jiangnan.
Yunshan Temple.
A woman with waist-length black hair and a dot of red cinnabar between her eyebrows, twirling Buddhist beads in her hand and silently reciting scriptures.
At this time, a pretty little nun walked in from outside the nunnery.
"Master, there is a secret letter from the capital."
The living Bodhisattva opened his eyes, without saying a word, and stepped up and left the room.
She is the highly respected nun Hui'an in the nunnery, and also... the once stunning and charming eldest princess Chu Zhaohua!
After changing to another place, Chu Zhaohua opened the secret letter and read it carefully several times. In an instant, surprise, murderous intent, and resentment flashed across his gentle eyes...
Finally, he regained his composure, with a smile on his face that could easily put people down.
She smiled quietly, opened the incense burner and threw the secret letter into it.
The secret letter was instantly swallowed by the flames, and the ashes that were about to fly up were forced into the incense burner.
"Master, what are your plans?"
Chu Zhaohua's eyes sparkled, and he said in a gentle voice, "I haven't been home for many years. It's time to meet old friends."
