Chapter 979: Master Qian is Back
She knew that she bought it as a gift to her younger brother.
How can the emperor's younger brother compete with her?
"Aunt, we've been arguing like this, and in the end all we're spending is our own money. Just give it to your nephew." The eldest prince said with a smile.
"You little rascal, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you." The eldest princess was so annoyed that she had no choice.
The eldest prince took five thousand taels of silver.
All the silver was turned over to the national treasury for disaster relief.
Gu Yao's one thousand taels of cash, plus the glass cups that were sold, totaled six thousand taels, which were counted on Gu Yao's head.
"Sister Yao, how much should I donate?" Tan Xiaomei looked at Gu Yao. She was going to donate six thousand taels. How much was appropriate for her, Tan Xiaomei, to donate?
She only has one thousand taels of silver on her now!
"You can donate as you like. It's up to you." How could Gu Yao make the decision for Tan Xiaomei?
"I'll ask my subordinates to go home and ask my father for money. It can't be too little, so as not to lose face for our escort agency. Hehe, I'll donate in the name of the escort agency this time." Tan Xiaomei called the maid beside her to her side and muttered softly.
The donation process is in full swing.
The Tan family sent 10,000 taels of silver as a donation.
Gu Yao covered her mouth. If converted into modern cash, it would be 10 million.
Really rich and powerful.
Many officials and their families have hundreds of taels of silver, which makes them tighten their belts and live frugally.
"Xiaomei, Mr. Tan is very generous." Gu Yao gave Tan Xiaomei a thumbs up.
The eldest princess gave the most, with 50,000 taels of silver, and the royal palace also gave 50,000 taels of silver.
In total, more than 500,000 taels of silver were collected in donations.
This relieved a lot of pressure on the national treasury.

When the emperor in the palace found out, he was speechless.
During the morning court, all the ministers followed him in crying poor, but now there are many good things at the flower-viewing banquet.
Those who spent the money were all ladies from various mansions, and they were all very generous.
Donating tens of taels of silver to the court seemed like costing their lives, but they spent thousands or even hundreds of taels of silver on their own wives, and they were so generous.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea." The chief eunuch, Little Lizi, looked at the emperor's heaving chest and quickly drank some tea to calm himself.
He reached out, picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp.
"I really want to punish these officials." The emperor looked at the amount reported and the items being auctioned.
A pair of glass cups were seen among them.
He doesn't have a glass cup in his private storage yet, so he doesn't know what this glass cup looks like.
Aren’t they all glass ornaments? Each one is worth a lot of money.
What are these cups?
How dare Leo say that!
"But today's auction was very successful, and this banquet was not in vain!" The emperor laughed.
He now has only a little over 100,000 yuan in cash.
Life became very tight.
What he didn't expect was that each of them was richer than him. It seemed that he should hold more banquets like this!

Qian family
Qian Yun was sent home.
He was in a miserable state and was beaten with a stick in the palace before being sent to the Qian family.
Yu saw her own daughter went to the party, but she came back in such a mess.
I listened to the servant who went with me and described the tragic situation at the scene.
Yu was in a bad state.
They lost a lot of money on this banquet. Why? It was for their daughter to have a good future.
What she didn't expect was that her daughter might have been played by two men.
No, the Qiu family must give an explanation.
Yu was just about to arrange someone to find a way to get to the Qiu family quickly.
The little maid ran in: "Madam, Madam, the master is back."
Yu staggered.
"Hurry, go find the master." Yu had a bald head.
I feel like I'm going to faint.
"Yu, is this how you manage the household while I'm away?" Master Qian looked at the married couple with murderous eyes.
"Master..." Yu was almost feeling aggrieved. During this period, her hair had turned visibly white.
Yu cried and was about to throw herself on Master Qian.
Mr. Qian slapped Yu on the body, catching her off guard.
Before Yu could react, he was slapped to the ground.
Blood mixed with blood from Yu's teeth flowed out from the corners of his mouth.
"You?" Yu covered her face with a red slap mark. Her whole body was in pain. She wanted to move, but the pain was so severe that when she moved, she felt as if she was being crushed by a carriage wheel.
"For so many years, I have been tolerant of you. I didn't expect that you would cause trouble at the banquet in the palace. You gave birth to a good daughter. How can we, the Qian family, put our reputation aside?" Master Qian was now filled with rage and wanted to pull out the tendons and bones of Yu and Qian Yun.
Before, when he and his mother went to deal with the businessman Gu Yao, he did not take it seriously at all when he received the letter sent by his subordinates.
As for merchants, as long as they are dissatisfied or want to take over, it is a business behavior and it doesn’t matter what they do. The Qian family can cover it. This is also the confidence of the Qian family.
Now they have been brought to the palace, and have done something so outrageous. No matter how they did it in the first place, they have suffered a loss in the end, and have also lost face in the palace. How can the Qian family hold their heads up in the circle of the capital in the future?
"I did this for this family, but you didn't ask anything and just came up to beat me. Do you care about me and this family? When you were not at home, I was the only one taking care of the family. I did all this for you, for our daughter, and to make our family better and better for the whole family." Yu covered her face with her hands. It hurt so much. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt.
"Why should I hit you? How did you discipline your daughter at home? She didn't want to cause trouble in the palace, so how could such a scandal happen? The palace is full of officials. She didn't want to mess with them, so how could she get into trouble? It's because you didn't teach her well. Is this how you treat your mother? You have made me lose face. You have made it difficult for the children of the entire Qian family to get married." Mr. Qian's anger was rising.
"I taught my daughter like this. Everything I did was for her own good. What happened in the palace was just an accident. You don't want to think about how to deal with things now. What's the point of hitting me? Everything I did was ultimately for the good of the Qian family." Yu felt that she had done nothing wrong.
"I am here to support the Qian family's business. If nothing happens to our daughter, she can marry a merchant or someone she likes. Even if she marries into the royal family as a concubine, it will be more than enough. Our Qian family has plenty of money to pave the way. Now that I make so much money, no one will want her even if she gives it away for free. Even if an ordinary family wants to marry a daughter-in-law, they want a girl of pure integrity. You are bringing discredit to the Qian family." The veins on Master Qian's head were throbbing.
Yu was in pain all over her body and was in a panic. She was scolded by her master. She wanted to argue but didn't know how to convince her master.
