Chapter 1880
As a queen, Murong Yu's fundraising banquet is of course needless to say.

But those who have grown their heads know that this is an opportunity to ask the royal family for a small favor. After all, the war broke out and they all made contributions. If there is any trouble in the family in the future, they can also beg the empress to see it.

So this banquet is not only a social occasion, but also an opportunity to show loyalty.

Murong Yu received a total of about 30 taels of silver, which of course also included those valuable jewelry, which can be considered a considerable amount of money.

In addition, there are donations from ladies, and these are all recorded in the book.

Murong Yu took over the rosters of the ladies and said: "Give each of these ladies a box of snacks made by the imperial chef, and tell them that I have read the rosters."

"Yes." Cao Ding agreed.

Of course, Murong Yu also saw Huo Miaoguo's name and donated 50 taels of silver, but she didn't say much, treating everyone equally, and asked someone to send a box of dim sum made by the imperial chef.

Huo Miaoguo was very happy to receive the snacks, and asked the palace man who delivered the food box, "Did my aunt ask me to bring this to me?"

"It was given by the empress, but all the ladies on the roster who donated silver have a copy." The palace man replied politely.

Huo Miaoguo was a little disappointed, but it wasn't too disappointing, after all, she wasn't so confused that she only wanted her aunt to give it to others, so she shouldn't be confused among the ladies, she could drown her with saliva.

"Happy?" Seeing her coming over with a box of snacks, Murong Rui said.

Huo Miaoguo said, "I don't know if my aunt has read the roster, and if she knows that I donated too."

Murong Rui glanced at her, "Isn't this dessert the best proof? Your aunt has seen it."

Huo Miaoguo's face turned better when she heard the words, she opened the food box and said with a smile: "Mother, you should try it too, the dim sum in the palace is different from the outside, it's delicious."

Murong Rui tasted a piece, saw that there were quite a lot of dim sum and said: "Ask someone to send two plates back to Aunt Xue."

"Mother, what's the use of it, these plates of snacks have to be sent back, how petty does it seem to people to know?" Huo Miaoguo couldn't help but say.

Murong Rui said: "Old Aunt Xue did not give you less money, you didn't even give her two plates of snacks?"

"Where did I mean that? Didn't I think that others would make irresponsible remarks? After all, we didn't give it to my grandmother..." Huo Miaoguo said.

"How can the old godmother compare to Aunt Xue?" Murong Rui said indifferently, she and Mrs. Huo had completely torn faces, and said indifferently, "Don't say that there are so many, just ask someone to send them back. If your grandmother knew, she would look at you high."

Hearing this, Huo Miaoguo didn't say anything.

And what my grandmother was talking about was Li's aunt, and only she could be regarded as my grandmother.

Old Aunt Xue is just Old Aunt Xue, even if they are relatives, but their status does not allow it.

On the Murong Mansion side, Old Aunt Xue was very happy to see the snacks, she was not greedy for this portion of food, she was very peaceful in the Murong Mansion now, Mrs. Li didn't make things difficult on purpose, she was able to live in peace, except for being ridiculed by Aunt Tao, there was no other problem, and there were also cakes and so on.

The dim sum and pastries in Murong Mansion are also delicious. She is happy mainly because of her granddaughter's kindness to her.

After Mrs. Li learned about this, she didn't say anything. Mother Xu said, "Miss Miaoguo seems to have followed suit."

"It's kind of kind." Li Shi said.

She didn't talk much about Huo Miaoguo, whether it was Murong Rui, Huo Miaoguo, or even Aunt Xue, she didn't have a good impression.

Because the mother and daughter were full of calculations in the early years, and they gave up their hearts later, so they turned to the light, that is to say, she, Yuer, was generous and tolerant, and she would have died countless times if she was someone else.

"It's so cold and he can go to the border. This kid was born to collect debts!" ​​Mrs. Li began to scold her youngest son.

Xu's mother said, "You can't blame the second master, it has to be caused by the Wei family."

Li Shi said, "How can I not understand that kid? The Wei family is too much, but where is it? He found this excuse to run over. He wanted to go when he heard that the eldest prince was going, and I just refused to let him!"

Xu's mother said, "Second Master has martial arts skills, and there are loyal people around him, so the old lady doesn't have to worry too much."

Mrs. Li sighed, "I don't want to imitate his brother. I haven't worried much since I was a child. I worry about this kid so much!"

"Why didn't the old lady worry about the uncle? When the uncle was at the age of the second master, he didn't have any serious errands. Now that the second master is on the battlefield, if he has made meritorious service, he will be famous." Mother Xu said with a smile.

Mrs. Li waved his hand, "The family is already prominent enough, he can eat and wait to die, so why not go to the front line to fight?"

"That said, people still want their children to be successful, but the old lady hopes that the second master can be a dude?" Mother Xu laughed.

Li sighed, "It's not that I want him to be a dude, it's just that I can't do it. I'm not enough to worry about Brother Ye. I have to worry about him. I'm going to worry about my life!"

"The old lady has nothing to do recently, why don't you go to the palace to see the empress?" Mother Xu said.

Mrs. Li thought for a while, "Forget it, Yu'er is also busy recently, and I don't know how much money I donated this time. If needed, I will get some more from my private money."

But there is no need, because the Murong Mansion has already given a part of it this time, raising nearly 30 taels, which is not a small sum of money.

Ji Chengxuan was also very surprised to learn that such a large sum of money was donated.

Of course, the money will be exchanged for food, grass and medicinal materials, etc., and will be sent to the frontier when the right time is right, which can also relieve urgent needs.

So Ji Chengxuan seemed to be obedient and didn't want money, praised Murong Yu for being helpful, praised her for being virtuous and considerate of him, and he had to repay her tonight.

Murong Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

"I really thought I didn't know. Knowing that the imperial court was going to fight Daqi, those merchants donated a lot of food and grass, so there would be no shortage of food at the border this winter." Murong Yu said.

This is also the reason why Ji Chengxuan has to win the hearts of the people in the war, that is, Da Qi is too deceitful, so he is forced to fight back, and cannot be ridden on the head by Da Qi.

Ji Chengxuan smiled, "War is not a one-and-a-half-day thing. The imperial treasury is tight, and the 30 taels are timely. At least next spring, you don't have to worry too much."

He also said, "This time Wanjia has put in a lot of effort, and I'm quite willing."

"Wanjia has a good reputation." Murong Yu nodded.

"Then give them the title of Imperial Merchant next year." Ji Chengxuan said.
