Chapter 1591: New Year's Money
Da Pan and Er Pan opened their mouths and were about to speak when Xuanyuan Jin waved his hand and three purses flew over.
"New Year's money!" Xuanyuan Jin said.
Da Pan and Er Pan touched the purse that they reached out to take.
——A bag full of silver melon seeds.
Well, actually it was the silver melon seeds they had just lost.
Su Chengyao, the young scholar, took the purse that fell into his hands, stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Da Pan: "..."
Er Pan: “…”
The two brothers looked at each other.
Is it thanks or thanks?
They are older than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
but--
The two looked at their aunt, who was smiling.
So, what Da Pan and Er Pan wanted to say circled around their lips for a few times before they swallowed it back.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Da Pan and Er Pan bowed.
Tang Bao also took out a few purses and said, "It's past midnight, and it's the Beast God Festival now. This is the New Year's money that your aunt gave you. Come and get it!"
When the Dapan brothers heard this, they immediately walked over with joy on their faces.
They were happy to receive the New Year's money given by their aunt.
Although my aunt is younger than them, she gives them New Year's money every year.
"Come, one for each of you..." Tang Bao gave out New Year's money with a smile.
"Thank you, little aunt. I wish you happiness forever!"
"Thank you, little aunt. I wish you happiness forever!"
"Thank you, little aunt. I wish you good luck forever!"
The three brothers, Da Pan, Er Pan and Xiao Xiucai, took the purses in turn and said auspicious words.
Of course, this is the Su family’s custom.
In the past, during the Chinese New Year, Tang Bao gave red envelopes to a group of nephews, which was a big event in the Su family!
Because each of my nephews has to say different blessings.
To this end, Da Pan and Er Pan took their younger brothers to practice in advance, and asked the group of little ones to recite their own blessings in order.
But, these little guys just can’t remember.
Either you forget your own words, or you steal someone else's words...
In short, the whole family laughed out loud in the end.
Thinking of the happy times at home, the smiles on the faces of the aunt and nephew faded.
——I miss home!
"How about... after a few days, you guys and the diplomatic team return to the capital together?" Tang Bao said thoughtfully.
Da Pan and his brothers immediately shook their heads like rattles.
They will never go back unless their aunt goes back!
"Aunt, when we came here, we promised your grandparents that we would bring you back safely!" said Da Pan.
Er Pan also said: "If little aunt doesn't go back, we won't go back!"
The young scholar also said with a determined look: "Wherever my aunt goes, I will go there! Even if my nephew is incompetent and can't help my aunt, I will do my best to protect her!"
When Tang Bao saw the state of his nephews, he knew that he could not persuade them, so he had to give up.
However, he looked at Xia Siya and Princess Linghua again.
Both of them waved their hands at the same time.
"Sister Fuya, I'll follow you!"
"Su Tang! I'll go wherever you go, no discussion!"
Tang Bao: “…”
Okay, then follow me.
Leading one person is the same as leading a group.
Queen Mingli said with envy: "That's great!"
She wanted to go too, but unfortunately she couldn't!
After Queen Mingli finished speaking, she cheered up, looked at the Dapan brothers, and said with a smile: "I am also your aunt, and I have prepared New Year's money for you all."
After saying this, he ordered the palace maid to bring the box over.
The palace maid hurried forward and bowed to present the two boxes, one large and one small, in her hands.
Queen Mingli handed the small box to Tangbao.
"Sister Fuya, this is the New Year's money your sister gave you!" Queen Mingli said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister." Tang Bao took the heavy box with a smile.
No one asked what was in the small box that Tang Bao was holding.
Tang Bao didn't open it either.
Queen Mingli placed another large box on the table and opened it, revealing the gold ingots inside.
In fact, although they are called gold ingots, each one looks like a small gold ingot.
Moreover, they are all solid.
"Come on, two gold ingots for each person..."
Queen Mingli said this as she took out the gold ingots.
Da Pan and his brothers immediately looked at Tang Bao.
Tang Bao smiled and nodded slightly.
Da Pan immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty..."
"Call me Imperial Aunt from now on!" Queen Mingli interrupted Da Pan and said.
Da Pan immediately changed his words.
"Thank you, Imperial Aunt! May you usher in a new era of prosperity for Western Qin, and may your fame last forever!"
"good!"
Queen Mingli was overjoyed when she heard this.
He was so happy that he gave Da Pan two more gold ingots.
Erpan and Xiaoxiucai who followed behind naturally followed suit.
As soon as the auspicious words came out, he immediately received four gold ingots.
Queen Mingli looked at Xia Siya and Princess Linghua again.
"I should also be your royal aunt, so you must also get some New Year's money." Queen Mingli said meaningfully.
Xia Siya blushed and opened her mouth.
Princess Linghua immediately retorted, "No way! To be honest, I'm a generation older than you!"
By the way, Prince Cheng'en is the emperor's uncle, and Princess Linghua is of the same generation as Emperor Tianxi, one generation older than Xuanyuan Jin.
After hearing what Princess Linghua said, Empress Mingli said meaningfully, "Seniority also needs to be considered in terms of closeness and distance."
After saying that, he glanced at Erpan with a smile.
Er Pan: “…”
Why are you looking at me?
"Why are you looking at him?" Princess Linghua asked angrily.
Queen Mingli: "..."
Rolled his eyes.
Why do you think I'm looking at him?
"My eyes are watery!" Queen Mingli simply said, "Since you are a generation older than us, please give us some New Year's money!"
Queen Mingli finished speaking and stretched out her hand!
Princess Linghua: "..."
A stagnation.
Among all these people, she is the poorest!
However, we lose the battle even if we lose the person!
"Okay! I'll send it!"
Princess Linghua took out her purse with great generosity.
Queen Mingli sneered and said, "New Year's money has always been given out according to seniority."
After saying this, he pointed at Da Pan and his brothers and continued, "I gave each of my nephews four gold ingots weighing five taels each as New Year's money. As an elder, you should give more than me! Even if you don't double it and give eight, you can't give less than six!"
Princess Linghua: "..."
The movement froze.
Six per person, that’s thirty taels of gold!
For three people, that’s ninety taels, which is nine hundred taels of silver.
Plus Su Tang's, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's, Her Majesty the Queen's, Xia Siya's...
This would cost at least more than two thousand taels of silver!
By the way, as the princess of Cheng'en Palace, Princess Linghua has been the only daughter of the palace for so many years, so she is naturally not short of money!
They don't even have any idea about money.
It was because of this that she was deceived by her maid Guiyuan and swallowed up so much silver.
However, everything changed after I met Tang Bao.
——She is poor!
