Chapter 329 New Year Greetings
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, just as the sky was getting light, little Tangbao was already dressed and hurried out without even having breakfast.
Chuntai squatted down and carefully put on her cloak and hat, looking at her with concern, "Your Highness, are you really not going to let the secret guards follow you? Even if you can bring Zhilan and Zhimei with you, it will be fine."
The little fellow shook his head and said in a childish voice, "Fourth Uncle just became the emperor, and he needs money everywhere. He is so poor..."
"Not only is he unhappy as the emperor, but my father and great-grandmother are also worried and anxious... and Tang Bao's 'Charity Bureau' has not yet opened!"
Before Chuntai could understand what the young master wanted to say, she continued:
"Tang Bao went to pay New Year's greetings alone and collected lucky money from grandparents and uncles... If Tang Bao went with a group of people, wouldn't that be robbery and forced donations?"
“What if they report Daddy and ask me to return it?” Little Tangbao blinked his big, bright eyes, looking like a little adult.
"Don't worry, Sister Chuntai. Even though Tangbao is going alone, Mimi is here. Once she shows her teeth, no one will dare to bully Tangbao!"
Hearing this, the little white tiger beside him sat up suddenly, puffing out his chest and holding his head high, looking proud and confident. "Master is right! Mimi is a majestic beast!"
Chuntai frowned slightly, and sweat instantly broke out on her palms...
Although what the young princess said made sense, the last time she was possessed by another body seemed like it happened just yesterday, and she had just woken up not long ago... No one who cared about her could withstand that kind of blow anymore!
No! She is worried!
Chuntai said no more, winked at Chengfeng quietly, turned around and went to change into men's clothes.
No matter what...she has to protect Tang Bao secretly.
Xiao Tangbao patted the white tiger's thigh, and it immediately lay on the ground, allowing her to climb onto its back.
It had been a long time since the little white tiger had carried its master out. The tiger danced joyfully, causing the wind chimes under the corridor to jingle. The secret guards in the trees were terrified, fearing that the tiger would accidentally throw their little prince away!
"Haha! Robbing the rich to help the poor! Mimi, go for it!!" Tang Bao waved his little hand, his voice as clear as a silver bell.
Before she finished her words, the secret guards saw Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess riding a white tiger and "whoosh" out of the door. She disappeared in the blink of an eye!
Thanks to the fact that they knew she would be the first to go to Ouyang Boshan's house, Chuntai and Chengfeng quickly caught up with her.
......
Hearing that someone was waiting at the door on a white tiger, Ouyang Boshan had guessed that it was the Crown Princess Yuntang who had arrived, but when he actually opened the door and saw the person with his own eyes, he was still shocked.
Looking at the little fellow in fiery red riding a white tiger, Ouyang Boshan was stunned for a moment, even forgetting to greet him...
Thinking of the words 'respect teachers and value morality', little Tang Bao slid down from the tiger's back neatly and saluted Ouyang Boshan politely: "Happy New Year, Master Ouyang! Tang Bao wishes you good health and all the best in the new year!"
"Oh oh oh..." Ouyang Boshan finally came to his senses and hurriedly saluted the visitor respectfully, "This old minister greets Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess! May Her Highness live a thousand years!"
"Master Ouyang, please don't be polite."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ouyang Boshan straightened up slightly, and hurriedly took out a heavy red envelope from his sleeve and presented it with both hands, "This is the New Year's money for Your Highness from this old minister. I wish Your Highness peace and success in your studies!"
Xiao Tangbao's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the red envelope with both hands, saying sweetly, "Thank you, Master Ouyang."
This red envelope was specially prepared by Ouyang Boshan for his most beloved grandson! It contained a full 100 taels of silver, almost as much as his annual salary!
Unfortunately, the child fell asleep early last night, so the red envelope was never given out...
Seeing Xiao Tangbao putting away the big red envelope, he couldn't help feeling a little pained.
However, Tang Bao was not in a hurry to leave after receiving the red envelope. She tilted her little head and looked into the yard, her big eyes rolling around... Ouyang Boshan didn't know what she was up to, and his heart was beating uncontrollably.
He subconsciously stroked his newly grown beard, fearing that he would anger the little ancestor in front of him and lose his precious beard... He quickly stepped aside to make way.
"How about... Your Highness come in and sit down..."
"Okay! Then Tangbao will be honored to refuse!" As she said that, she took the white tiger and walked into the yard, not being shy at all.
Seeing several servants being frightened by the little white tiger and falling to the ground, about to cry... she hurriedly gestured to the little white tiger to sit down, and held the rope around its neck tightly with her little hands.
He said seriously, "Don't be afraid, my Mimi won't bite when she's full!"
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper forgot to greet Xiao Tangbao. He rushed to the kitchen with his eyes wide open, crawling and rolling. In just a dozen feet, he fell on his face several times!
What, chicken, duck, goose, pig, sheep, donkey... just tell the kitchen to prepare them quickly!
No matter what he uses to entertain guests these days, he must feed the old tiger first!
Ouyang Boshan looked at the usually steady butler and twitched his lips. He sighed subconsciously: Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess' birthday is the seventh day of the first lunar month. She is only five years old now, but she already knows so many idioms. She is really teachable!
Little did they know that during the days when Xiao Tangbao was unconscious, Yun Che would sit by her bed whenever he had free time, reading her idiom stories over and over again, and telling her the Thirty-Six Stratagems...
Hearing someone coming into the dining room, Madam Ouyang thought her grandson had really made it big today, actually getting up so early!? She hurried out to greet him...
"Who is this?" He looked puzzled.
Ouyang Boshan gave his wife a look that said, "Stop asking questions and stop prying." He personally pulled out a chair for little Tang Bao and said, "Since Your Highness hasn't had breakfast yet, let's eat together!"
The food on the table was simple, and little Tangbao was not picky and ate quietly.
The old couple ate while glancing at her secretly. They felt that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess didn't seem to be here just to pay New Year's greetings... After all, didn't most children rush to the next house after receiving the red envelopes?
After finishing the meal, the little fellow slowly spoke: "Master Ouyang, no one knows Tang Bao's wish to establish the 'Charity Bureau' better than you..."
She raised her face and spoke in a childish yet earnest voice, "Tang Bao plans to donate half of all the lucky money he received this year to the national treasury to help alleviate the court's urgent needs... and the other half to the establishment of the 'Charity Bureau for Children'."
"Oh..." Ouyang Boshan immediately understood that this girl came to beg for alms!
"I understand what Your Highness means..."
Xiao Tangbao didn't expect that Master Ouyang would be so easy to talk to. He immediately straightened his back and looked at him expectantly... He didn't know how much silver Master Ouyang planned to donate?
This is a good thing to accumulate merit...They will be grateful to her when they go to the underworld in the future!
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go to the study and carefully draft the rules and regulations for the 'Salvatory Bureau' for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and left without looking back.
The smile on the little guy's face froze instantly!
Her light grey pupils gradually darkened, she looked towards Ouyang Boshan's back and spoke softly:
"Master Ouyang is going to the study alone now? Madam Ouyang won't go with you? Without Madam Ouyang by your side... can you write this charter smoothly?"
Boom——!!
Madam Ouyang's old face flushed red instantly...
At the same time, Ouyang Boshan seemed to be extremely frightened and turned around abruptly to look at Tang Bao.
