Chapter 331 Tang Bao's First New Year's Gift
Ouyang Boshan knelt on the ground, shaking like a sieve and his teeth chattering.
Little Tangbao stood with his hands behind his back. Although still young, he was able to show the dignity of a superior. "Master Ouyang is kind and generous. He was the first to donate money to the Charity Bureau. This Tang... this palace will definitely appoint you as a courtyard envoy when the time comes!"
Ouyang Boshan's face was ashen, and he felt that in just a short moment, all his tears had run out!
Your Highness is so cruel!
Not only did they take away the money he had secretly given to students, but they also accepted money to allow some wealthy children to audit his classes... and then they even exploited him by making him work for nothing at some 'Charity Bureau'!?
Ha! She truly deserves the title of "Living King of Hell"!
You want money, right?
Ouyang Boshan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly had a way to fight back! !
"As the saying goes, if the people don't report, the officials won't investigate... It's shameful to reveal the origins of this old man's money. If you don't want to return it all... the worst that can happen is that you'll be fired!"
He forced himself to remain calm, stroking his beard as he said, "Speaking of which... I have indeed reached the age where I should retire and return home..."
Tangbao:? ? ?
"When Your Highness was unconscious, I visited him and happened to see the Thousand Character Classic that Your Highness had copied. So, Your Highness's homework is indeed complete!"
Tang Bao didn't know what Ouyang Boshan was going to say next. She just thought she was being praised and felt very happy.
Of course! That was Sister Chuntai and the others, watching Lu Youyou write for over ten hours!
"Since Your Highness has completed his studies, according to the original agreement, Your Highness should take another exam."
What the hell???
Little Tangbao frowned and looked at the person opposite without blinking, he couldn't believe his ears!
Ouyang Boshan met her gaze and said with determination, "As a teacher, I would never deliberately embarrass anyone! Still referring to the original paper, if Your Highness can get a perfect score, I will give you all my fifty thousand taels from my private pocket! If not... I will only donate thirty thousand taels!"
Although he only donated 30,000 taels of silver, Ouyang Boshan still felt his breathing stagnate and his heart ached.
There are nearly a hundred people in the mansion. Although the income is high, it cannot withstand the constant expenses... These thirty thousand taels of silver are the money he saved after careful calculation and decades of hard work!
Yuntang, this little bandit...she is simply cutting his flesh and picking his bones!
Oh......
Ouyang Boshan felt a surge of anger rising to his head. Why should he have to suffer like this and have no peace on the first day of the new year?
He stood up and went to get the test paper.
Since this little girl didn't let him have a good time on the first day of the new year, he would never let her have a good time!
Even if it means risking my old bones, I will give her a hard time today!!
Not long after, little Tangbao looked at the familiar test paper, his pupils dilated, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground with a "bang".
She bit her lips hard and managed to swallow back the sob that was about to come out of her mouth.
An hour later, the little guy slowly walked out of the study, holding fifty thousand taels of silver in one hand and a pile of books and test papers in the other.
She looked up at the sky and sighed sadly... Tears fell uncontrollably like beads with broken strings. She was so angry that even her small chin was trembling visibly.
Chengfeng, who had been hiding in the tree, rubbed his eyes hard and could hardly believe his eyes!
Your Highness... is crying?
The little prince was crying so sadly, how much injustice must he have suffered?!
How ridiculous!!
He immediately glanced at Chuntai, then without saying a word, turned around and went to find his prince without looking back!
......
Blind old thing!!
Yun Che's face turned increasingly pale with anger.
Who would give children test papers as gifts on New Year’s Day?
Tang Bao hates being forced to do homework the most. How can he not be so angry that he cries?!
She was just a small person, and she wasted so much time and effort, even at the cost of offending others... It wasn't for herself! Why should she suffer behind her back, while outsiders were completely unaware of how many good deeds she had done?
Upon hearing this, Yun Che immediately wrote a document himself, announcing to the world that Xiao Tangbao was raising funds for the "Charity Bureau".
He even directly announced: All the ministers who are visited personally by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess must do their best and must not make any mistakes!
"joke!"
"Aren't they forcing donations? The Empress Dowager and the Emperor don't care?"
The Duke of Zhenguo held up the wine glass and sneered coldly.
The current Empress Dowager is Yuan Chenghan’s aunt!
When Emperor Shengzu married my aunt, he attached great importance to the Zhao family, and as a result, their Yuan family also prospered for a time.
From then on, he has always been arrogant in Beijing, and his words are final. Who dares to provoke him?
But ever since the death of Emperor Shengzu and Yun Xingxu's ascension to the throne, he has been suppressing the Zhao family and even implicated their Yuan family!
From then on, their Yuan family fell from heaven to hell. From generation to generation, all they had was this empty title of Duke. It was even difficult for them to enter the officialdom!
It's been a year since Yun Xingxu died, and my aunt hasn't mentioned the Yuan family to Emperor Jiahe much! ?
Although there's a generation gap between them... If he hadn't been able to send his two granddaughters to Shoukang Palace for a short stay... how could all these visitors come today? How could this unprecedented drinking party be held!?
Humph! A bunch of opportunistic bastards...
He glanced at the officials around him with drunken eyes, who didn't know whether they were really drunk or not, and smiled mockingly.
He mumbled, seemingly drunkenly, "I'm your aunt's nephew! Not closer than that... not closer than that emperor who has no blood relationship with me?! My aunt rarely interacted with the emperor before, and they weren't close... If she doesn't use her own people, who else can she use?"
Everyone in the room secretly exchanged glances, and the room instantly fell into an eerie silence!
The Duke of Zhenguo was thinking that only if the Prince Regent and that so-called Crown Princess were no longer trusted and lost their power would the Yuan family be noticed by the Grand Empress Dowager again, but what he said was completely different from what he was thinking...
"Although the Regent has the talent to govern the country, he is too doting on his children... He is completely lawless and has no bottom line!"
"Right now, the government is stable and everything is going well. If the Regent commits a serious crime... and Daliang has another tyrant... then everything will be over!"
"No matter who we are, we will not have a good life!"
"Besides, if they can force everyone to donate money today, they'll probably do it a second time, a third time... How can we survive in the future?"
"Burp," he burped, indignantly saying, "Even if it's a charity, who knows if they'll embezzle it? No one should donate to them!"
Since Yun Che has made such a boast, what kind of "Charity Bureau" is he going to build for the people?
If he fails to accomplish this, he will surely lose the support of the people! He might even arouse public outrage...
"That greedy little brat, where did he get the money?" The Duke of Zhenguo asked the servant beside him drunkenly.
"My Lord, the new Minister of Personnel is a tough nut to crack. He's always ruthless in his words and deeds... Your Highness, I'm afraid you'll burst into tears again."
