Chapter 1879
"Today's trip was because I didn't think carefully, which frightened the princess."

On the carriage side, Wan Qifu was apologizing to Ji Huaiheng.

Ji Huaiheng shook his head, "It doesn't matter, this matter has nothing to do with you, but this young master of the Hai family needs to investigate carefully, why on earth did he appear here."

Originally, there were few people going out in such weather, and Mrs. Hai would ask her son to personally send sesame oil money to the temple in the cold weather?Can't you send someone down?

Wan Qifu was naturally not stupid, nodded and said: "Princess, don't worry, I will go to Dali Temple to handle the case in person after I go back."

Because today's good mood was disturbed, Ji Huaiheng didn't say anything more, and returned to the palace by himself after sending Wan Qifu home.

Wan Qifu also went to Dali Temple to inquire about this matter in person, but because the other party really did not disclose too much information, these people were detained by Dali Temple.

It's almost nothing more than nothing.

It's just that Wan Qifu can guess that this matter has nothing to do with Haiwu, because the kid claimed to be sick after returning home.

Typical guilty conscience!
However, because the collected testimonies and bank notes are not considered evidence, we can only give up.

But what Wan Qifu didn't know was that Hai Wu was almost stripped alive by Mrs. Hai because of this incident.

Haiwu ran home to ask his mother for a statement, remembering to tell him that he was asked to add sesame oil money, as for why he didn't let the servants go, it was because he seemed sincere.

Knowing what her son did, Mrs. Hai's breath really almost didn't come up!

No, because I was so frightened that I was really sick. I couldn't even enter the palace to participate in the Empress's Plum Appreciation Banquet. You must know that the Empress Rarely hosts banquets, and there are even fewer plum appreciating banquets with such a large lineup.

In the end, I couldn't go, it was all caused by that evil obstacle!

At the same time, because she was worried about what would happen to her son again, Mrs. Hai quickly made a marriage for Haiwu, neither high nor low.

This made Haiwu very dissatisfied. He felt that it was not because he had no chance for Princess Shang, but because the news this time was wrong.

I didn't know that the groom was such a master, so I didn't prepare. If I give him another chance, he will definitely be able to do it!

Mrs. Hai directly asked someone to lock him up and release him after he got married at the end of the month.

Yes, I will be hired in a few days, and I will get married at the end of the month. The speed is very fast. I just want to completely cut off this kid's thoughts and thoughts once and for all!
However, the matter of the Hai family is not clear to the outside world.

Right now at the Huohou mansion, Huo Miaoguo ran over to find her mother. Today she went out to attend the sisters' banquet, and only then did she know that the queen empress had posted posts for a group of noble ladies to let them enter the palace to attend the banquet.

"Mother, have you received the message from my aunt?" Huo Miaoguo asked straight to the point as soon as she came over.

"What post?" Murong Rui glanced at her.

"Didn't my aunt give it to your mother?" Huo Miaoguo's face was a little ugly, "They all have them, why don't you, mother?"

Murong Rui was very calm, "It's their business, what does it have to do with me? And your aunt also knows that it would be embarrassing for me to attend such an occasion, so she never sent me a post."

Everyone knows the current situation of Huohou Mansion, and she is still Madam Hou of Huohou Mansion, but in fact, everyone knows it well.

So it's the best thing for her to keep a face for herself. If she doesn't know how to restrain herself and go out to show off in the market, it will be really shameful and unaware.

Her eldest sister would not deliberately let her go to such a banquet to make a fool of herself.

"Mother, this time is different from the previous ones. I heard that my aunt wanted to call the wives to donate some money because of the tight frontier at the border, which can be regarded as a contribution to the court!" Huo Miaoguo said.

Murong Rui even said after hearing the words: "It's even more inappropriate for me to come out on such an occasion. Where do I have any money?"

"Mother, I know you still have some." Huo Miaoguo couldn't help but said.

Murong Rui looked at her daughter, "I kept this money just in case, and I managed to save this money. We are not noble ladies like them, and we are short of money. We can't go to such occasions, do you understand?"

She has saved a few thousand taels in her hands over the years. Compared with ordinary people, the money is indeed not small, because as far as the current consumption of the dynasty is concerned, five taels of silver can feed a family of five in a farming family for a year.

But if you get it in the ladies' circle, the money is not enough to look at. A pair of jewelry may cost more than this price. How can it compare?
But Murong Rui doesn't want to compare with them, just live her own life well.

It's just that Huo Miaoguo obviously doesn't think so, "How poor are we if we don't participate in such an occasion?"

"The Huohou Mansion is like this, even if we try to save face, how many times can we do it?" Murong Rui looked at her.

"But it's rare for my aunt to solicit donations like this. Don't tell me you don't want to contribute. It's good to take the lead!" Huo Miaoguo was very unwilling.

"I don't need to take the lead, it's mostly Madam who volunteers to raise donations to go up to your aunt." Murong Rui said lightly.

Huo Miaoguo was really flustered by her mother, it simply didn't make sense.

"If you have money, you can send it to your aunt in private, to show that you will do your part, whether it is more or less, your aunt will not care, as long as you have this intention." Murongrui couldn't bear it, so he said.

Although Huo Miaoguo's eyes lit up, she couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "But daughter... daughter doesn't have much money."

The expenses of the family belong to the family, and the expenses of their mother and daughter belong to them, which is irrelevant, but because her mother does not have many ways to make money, and she only has ten taels of silver for pocket expenses every month.

Counting the occasional visits to see Aunt Xue, Aunt Xue would give her some of the money she had saved, so that she could occasionally be able to invite the little sisters out to get together.

"I'll get you 50 taels." Murong Rui also said.

Huo Miaoguo's face turned red immediately, "Mother, how can you get 50 taels? If you give 50 taels, it's better not to!"

"50 taels is just right, you are a young lady who has not yet left the cabinet, and you are still a lady of the Huohou Mansion, you can get 50 taels of silver is already enough." Murong Rui was unmoved.

Huo Miaoguo said: "Give me some more, no matter what happens, it will cost 100 taels!"

50 taels of silver is really too little.

"If you listen to me, it's 50 taels, the effect is even better than you get 100 taels!" Murong Rui glanced at her.

Huo Miaoguo was taken aback by these words, and then thought that her mother knew about her aunt, so she hesitated and said, "Mother didn't lie to me?"

"What are you doing to lie to you?" Murong Rui said, and also said to her, "Don't worry, after the palace banquet is over, the girls will also raise donations, and then they can donate together."
