Chapter 566 Generous Gifts (4)

A few plates of exquisite side dishes, a pot of good wine, and a pair of close friends sitting opposite each other.

The moon and stars are sparse, the night breeze is gentle, and it is extremely comfortable to have a light drink.

Feng Changshi drank a few drinks happily before telling Chen Changshi in a low voice that the Bolingcui family gave away a gold mine: "...the Bolingcui family is worthy of being passed down for hundreds of years. A wealthy family, rich in wealth, and very generous. I'm afraid it's a small gold mine. The output is not much, but it is enough to support two or three thousand soldiers."

Chen Changshi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The family has an amazing genius like Uncle Chang Ning, and the family resources are tilted a bit. That’s what it should be.”

Cui Du is a low-key person, never public, and his reputation is not very prominent outside. Only the officials of Nanyang Palace knew how important Cui Du was to Nanyang County and the princess.

For the princess, a constant supply of food to satisfy her hunger is more important than gold and silver.

This is even more true for the common people.

Nanyang County can continue to attract refugees, mostly because of its effective promotion of new grains, and it also allows all displaced people who have no food and clothing to know that there is a place in the world where people can have enough to eat.

What Cui Du did can be recorded in the Bolingcui family's genealogy in the future, adding glory to the Bolingcui family. If trouble comes in the future, the princess will also protect the Boling Cui family towards Cui Du. In the final analysis, it was Cui who took advantage.

It is worthwhile to dedicate a gold mine that has not yet been mined but has an unknown size.

Feng Changshi raised his glass and said with a smile: "In the past two years, the money inside and outside the palace has been flowing like water, and I, the head of the household, can hardly bear it anymore. This time the princess's wedding, I collected a lot of money. With this great gift, the burden on my shoulders suddenly became lighter, and I felt really happy. "Chen Changshi laughed and raised his glass to touch his old friend.

After three rounds of drinking, Feng Changshi was tipsy and lowered his voice: "In your opinion, how long will this battle in Sizhou last?"

When the war came up, Chen Changshi Shi felt a little heavy and sighed. He said in a tone: "I don't understand war. However, I am very familiar with the behavior of the important ministers in the court. The soldiers in the front are fighting tooth and nail to kill the enemy, but the court in the rear is not united and unstable. The fighting has been particularly fierce recently."


"If it hadn't been for our princess to fully support the border army in the war, send out food and troops, and barely stabilize the morale of the army, the border army would have been defeated."

As he said, he sighed again: "We It doesn't matter if the Nanyang Palace supports him for a few months. , We can’t keep going like this. The money and food consumed in the war are a bottomless pit, and people will continue to die. We, the Nanyang Palace, have invested most of the money in this matter. "

No. What?

Feng Changshi also let out a long sigh and put down his wine glass with a bang: "The first time we sent four thousand Nanyang troops and sent two hundred thousand shi of military rations. This time we sent two thousand elite guards and sent one hundred thousand Shi Junliang went.”
< br> "I have told the princess. Nanyang County can only provide so much food and people. No matter how the war happens, no more food and people can be provided. Otherwise, it will greatly affect the foundation of the Nanyang Palace. ”

Chen Changshi glanced at Feng Changshi.

Feng Changshi is worthy of being Chen Changshi’s best friend for many years. When his eyes met, he knew what Chen Changshi was thinking. He muttered: "As a minister, I have said everything I need to say. As for Whether you listen or not depends on what the princess wants."

"That's right," Chen Changshi said in a low voice. "Nanyang Prince's Mansion belongs to the princess. Whatever the princess wants to do, we ministers just follow the princess."

"You have to restrain your outspoken temper. Don't say anything that you shouldn't say." He spoke out in excitement, which made the princess unhappy. "

Feng Changshi listened to the advice and nodded in agreement.

...

The day before the princess's wedding, the Nanyang Prince's Mansion had been tidied up, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and red ribbons were posted everywhere.

All the guests who were supposed to come have already arrived.

Feng Changshi, who had already received the gift, did not expect that today there would be a heavy gift from the capital. When Feng Changshi saw the gift list, he was quite shocked and hurriedly took the gift list to see the princess.

"Princess, this is the gift list sent by the Wang family. Please take a look at it." Jiang Shaohua took the thick gift list and quickly looked through it. After reading it, he was silent for a moment.

This gift is indeed too heavy, far exceeding the specifications of ordinary gifts.

Based on the "friendship" between her and Prime Minister Wang, the Wang family should not have given such a heavy gift. Obviously, this gift was not prepared by Prime Minister Wang. Who else could it be?

A handsome and elegant young face flashed in her mind.

In her previous life, she wore a wedding dress and married into the Wang family. The young man with admiration in his eyes lifted her red hijab, drank a glass of wine with her, and got married.

In this life, she cut off her past and embarked on a completely different path from her previous life. She and Wang Jin were destined to part ways, and they would no longer have the fate of being husband and wife.

"There is also a letter from Wang Sheren here, which was sent to the palace along with the gift list." Feng Changshi also presented the letter.

Jiang Shaohua calmed down, opened the letter, and saw familiar handwriting.

Wang Jin’s letter was well written and there was nothing wrong with it. He congratulated her on getting her son-in-law and wished her a lasting love after her wedding.

Very decent.

In comparison, Zheng Chen, who said nothing, was too graceless.

Think about it, everyone’s character is different, and their behavior is naturally very different.

Jiang Shaohua said to Feng Changshi: "Keep this gift list. When Wang Sheren gets married in the future, remember to prepare the same generous gift according to this gift list."

Feng Changshi handed it over. Take orders.

……

The night before the wedding, another slightly embarrassing incident happened.

After Jiang Shaohua took a shower and changed clothes, he read a book on the bed for a while.

At this moment, Zhang’s mother came in.

Mother Zhang first winked at Yin Zhu Tubai. The two maids looked at each other and retreated together. Zhang's mother sat down on the bed, coughed, took out a thin booklet from her sleeve, and quickly put it into Jiang Shaohua's hand: "Princess, look at this booklet."

Jiang Shaohua: "... …”

In fact, she knows everything there is to know about men and women. She also gave birth to children and raised them herself. It doesn't matter whether she looks at such a booklet or not.

However, Zhang’s mother’s eyes were firm and she was very persistent.

Jiang Shaohua had no choice but to say: "I'll look at it later."

Mother Zhang immediately said: "Look now, this slave is here to accompany the princess. Is there anything the princess won't do? If you understand, just ask your servant.”

Jiang Shaohua: “…”

Zhang’s mother thought Jiang Shaohua was embarrassed for being thin-skinned, so she lowered her voice and laughed: “It’s a matter of human relations, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. Uncle Chang Ning is about the same age as the princess, he doesn’t even have a maid by his side, and he’s never been involved with any woman. It’s obvious. I don’t understand anything either. Princess, take a good look and learn a lesson, so that you can have a smooth wedding tomorrow night.”

Jiang Shaohua was so stared at by Zhang’s mother that he had no choice but to turn to the first page. , observe carefully and study carefully.
