    As soon as Wen Wan got the news, voluntary donations had become a mandatory target. She was worried about this matter, fearing that she would be blamed unnecessarily.  He hurried to the palace.  He followed the emperor and told him about the dangers of this matter.  It would be better if you are from a wealthy family.  But if you are an official from an average family or a relatively poor family, such a rigid target will put a heavy burden on others.  That would go against her original intention and would also have a bad impact on the emperor himself.

    The emperor thought for a while and felt that Wen Wan's worries were a bit unnecessary.  He just asked them to contribute a year's salary and silver.  Not asking for all their net worth.  Moreover, one year's salary is not equal to their entire income.  There are also ice carbon silver and other filial piety paid by the officials below. These silvers can be higher than the normal salary.  However, looking at Wen Wan's anxious and worried look, she smiled and gave the imperial edict that if the family does have difficulties, half of it can be exempted if there are supporting documents.  Wen Wan feels more at ease now.

    When Wen Wan returned to her home, she realized that many people had come in and out of her residence, many of whom were even waiting in the living room.  On this day, the gentle Bajing Hutong house was very lively. After King Chun left, Duke Ping followed him.  Then, Wen Wan became impatient. The great master came and asked several questions and gave honest answers.  The little god came and asked the butler to accompany them to drink tea.  No other fleas were seen.  He also closed the door and said that from now on, the princess will not see anyone.  All flies that come in are swatted to death.

    "Princess, Your Majesty, Prince Zhou is here. Do you see him or not?" Xia Ying asked from the side.  She had already received the news and knew that this disaster relief mission fell on her master.  She was very happy. If this was done, the prince would be truly loved by the people.  If he achieves great service, the prince will most likely be able to return to the capital.

    Nodding gently.  Others can be left alone.  But King Zhou helped her, so she had to see him.  King Zhou entered Wen Wan's house with anger on his face.  Seeing Wen Wan hurrying out from inside.  He looked at Wen Wan gloomily.

    Wen Wan hurriedly invited King Zhou in and served the tea in person, keeping her posture low.  King Zhou saw that her attitude was respectful and modest, and she did not become domineering because of her father's special attention, and he felt less angry in his heart.

    After taking the tea, he placed it heavily on the table and made a vibrating sound, "Wen Wan, were you ready to donate all the money from the beginning? Those things about hoarding food are just a fiction, right?"

    Wen Wan shook her head, "the princess said. She wanted to buy a large amount of grain at a lower price and then sell it at the usual price to make a profit. But she didn't expect that overnight, all  Everyone knew that she wanted to hoard food to make a fortune for the country. If she did this again, she would completely live up to her reputation.  Out of anger, the princess donated all her wealth just to save her life and title."

    Zhou Xiang glanced at Wen Wan suspiciously, "So, you really had the idea of ??hoarding food at that time?"

    Wen Wan shook her head and said that she never meant to hoard food.  Instead, she was buying a lot of business.  Put it on the market, it is definitely a stable object.  It won't cause people to panic.  Speaking of which, although she planned to make a profit, she also planned to sell at a fair price, so she was doing a good deed.  Only in the end, she couldn't control the situation, so she had no choice but to cut off her wrist.  Moreover, she didn¡¯t say anything as grand as donating food to the country.  She just told the emperor's grandfather that she was a small person and could only do a little bit.  It was not said at all that it was for the imperial court and for the common people of Li.  She is not that aware.

    King Zhou was dubious, but he had to follow his ideas.  He believes what Wen Wan is saying now.  Because according to what he knew, Wen Wan was indeed not a person with profound thoughts.  Now that I hear Wen Wan say this, a lot of doubts in my heart have gone away.  Not to mention what King Zhou thought.  Maybe, for King Zhou.  He accepted this statement more than what the previous emperor said, and he was more willing to believe the latter.

    After saying a few more polite words, King Zhou went out.  Wen Wan looked at his back, her eyes narrowed into a thin line.  The expression on his face is also hard to understand.

    The confidants around King Zhou asked in disbelief, "My lord, do you really believe that your princess was forced to hand over all her wealth out of helplessness?"

    King Zhou glanced at him, "Does the reason matter? That's what she said. Since she is willing to make up such a set of lies to deceive me, at least she can take it for granted. You didn't see it, from the palace  Come back, how many people come to visit, only King Chun and the Duke of Guo have come in, plus me, what do you think I should do. "

    The staff was speechless.  King Zhou murmured to himself, "Wen Wan, what kind of chess game are you playing? Uncle, I'll wait and see."

    And Wen Wan knew that the emperor had appointed Prince Zheng as the imperial envoy, so Wen Wan?Headache.  This imperial envoy is so easy to be.  There will be a catastrophe after a catastrophe. In a place with such backward medical conditions in ancient times, there is a 10% probability of a catastrophe.  Everyone knows this.  Immediately rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, looking for medicinal materials that could prevent the plague.  She remembered seeing it in a travel journal, and she thought with a smile that if the plague could be prevented, then what plague would there be?

    Xia Ying saw that Wen Wan was half crazy looking for her. She didn¡¯t close her eyes all day and night, searching desperately.  Xia Ying was there to help.

    In the Beijing branch of Lifa Commercial Bank, Yu Feiyang got the news.

    "Young master, this is the news that has been passed down. We were tricked by Princess Wenwan. This time, we were completely fooled by him. Moreover, we have to pay such a big price. We have to pay for all the money.  According to the market price, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver will be paid in advance." The shopkeeper looked at the news that came immediately and immediately gave it to Yu Feiyang.

    Yu Feiyang sat on the stool and said in a low voice, "I have always been smart, but I didn't expect that I would fall into the hands of a baby. Haha, it's really interesting, awesome, really awesome. Even I was plotted.  Guilty. I thought it was strange that she was fooling those people around, but I really didn¡¯t expect that she would do such a crazy thing"

    The shopkeeper looked at their young master's crazy appearance and felt worried.  The Shaodong family has been going smoothly these years.  He had never suffered such a big setback, and he was really worried that he couldn't bear it.

    When the emperor got the news, he took the contract, took a look at it and nodded with a smile.  This girl is really amazing, she can actually buy so much food at such a low price.  If she hadn't been taken advantage of by someone with good intentions, maybe she would have received such a large amount of food, and he wouldn't have to worry about the disaster food.  This girl is indeed shrewd.  However, what Wen Wan said was automatically rejected by the emperor. "Since she said she would donate, it will be entered into the account book in Wen Wan's own name. I looked for the name of the person who made the contract, but couldn't find it, so I looked for the guarantor. Let them  Transport this food to the disaster-stricken area as quickly as possible. If it is delayed, I will not let you go."

    For the emperor.  This contract is equivalent to food and grass equivalent to two hundred thousand taels of silver. I already have it in hand.  Anyone who dares to owe him money has not been born yet.

    "Yes." Cao Yin got the news and immediately went to do it.  He wasn't worried at all that the contract was worthless.  Under the sun.  There is no businessman who dares to challenge the Ministry of Household Affairs.  Anyone who dares to rely on the emperor's money.

    Yu Feiyang got the emperor's words. Not only was he no longer depressed or even afraid, his eyes shone brightly. "Flying pigeons passed the message, asking the great master to raise 100,000 shi of grain. Transport it to the disaster area as quickly as possible by river transport. What follows?"  Five hundred thousand grains will also be raised as soon as possible.¡±

    "Yes." Looking at their young master, he suddenly came to life again.  I also have confidence in my heart.  It doesn't matter if you lose, but you can't give up.

    "What, you said you donated 10,000 taels? Do you know that our income last year was only more than 10,000 taels? If you donate more than half of the family's annual income at once, do you still want to live?  Such a big deal, are you going to let everyone drink the northwest wind? "The eldest lady is as big as an ox, and she will still be in deficit. Where can she get such ten thousand taels of silver?"

    "The prince's title is 15,000 taels, the county prince's title is 12,000 taels the duke is 10,000 taels, the marquis is 8,000 taels, and the earl is 6,000 taels. The emperor has also said that since everyone is willing to donate, there will be no deduction of salary.  Just hand it over to help the court solve the problem. What do you want me to do? Everyone donates, am I the only one who doesn¡¯t want to donate?" Mr. Guo said with a headache.

    "How could you donate so much? Your Majesty, you are so ill that you seek medical treatment indiscriminately! How can you force a minister to do so?" The eldest lady was a little impatient, but she didn't have many worries.

    "It was not forced by the emperor, it was reported by the officials themselves. This is all caused by Wenwan. He went to donate money for nothing. With so much money, there is nothing that can be done. Now we have to offend hundreds of officials. It was settled last time  The government avoided people and left, and now it happens again. I wonder how much more scolding I will have to endure. "Ping Guogong is very depressed. You are so generous that you have dragged everyone down.

    "It's the donation she proposed." The eldest lady's face changed when she heard it.

    "She didn't propose a donation, but she donated all her property. The emperor used her as an example. Prince Chun and Prince Zhou, who were doing business with her, immediately expressed their stance. One of them immediately donated two hundred thousand taels, and the other  Donated 100,000 taels. With the example of the two princes, the officials below also donated a year's salary, and also added the filial piety of Huohua Yin and Bingtan Yin.  We came together. One year's income is one year's income, there is no other way, just try your best to raise it!" The Duke said helplessly.

    "They've all been donated. Wenwan's property is estimated to be five or six hundred thousand taels, right? Have you really donated it all?" The eldest lady didn't believe it, but since the Duke said so, it was basically true.  ?He couldn't help but ask softly.  It¡¯s so much money, I¡¯m so willing to give it up!

    "What she donated was not five or six hundred thousand taels, but one million, four hundred and eighty-seven thousand taels. It is said that the donation left only a small farmhouse and the house where she lives now. With so much money, she spent it without blinking an eye.  I'm so willing to donate it." Seeing his wife's eyes widening like bells, the Duke couldn't help but laugh after praising her.

    "Just donate it, but it is also a good thing for our Heng family! In recent years, the Heng family has always had troubles, and it is rare for such a happy event to happen. We must publicize our daughter's broadmindedness and magnanimity, and restore the  The harm done to our Taira daughter before. Therefore, I don¡¯t feel sorry at all for donating this thousand taels of silver. If this matter spreads, any previous reputation will be covered up by this event, even in the history books.  Remember this important thing." The Duke of Guo immediately thought of the high level.

    The eldest lady¡¯s eyes lit up. Indeed, if Wen Wan donates all his property to the people in the disaster area, then all the reputation my Taira family had before will be restored.  This is more than 10,000 taels, which is a good deal.  Extremely cost-effective.  He'er can feel proud in the Bai family.  Don't be bothered by those cowards anymore.  Once the eldest lady thought about it, she no longer had any complaints.

    "Sir, something happened. The clan leader just sent someone to say that the fifth master ran to the ancestral hall two hours ago and asked the clan leader to remove the princess. The clan leader said that the matter was of great importance and asked the master to discuss it with several elders."  The housekeeper broke into a cold sweat when he received the news from the clan leader.  He already knows about the shocking feats Wen Wan has done, and is now the princess Wen Wan.  But it is an example for the whole world.  The Taing family actually wants to remove someone at this time.  When word spread, they thought they were reluctant to part with those properties and resented Princess Wenwan for donating money.  People from the Taira family should not go out at all in the future.  Everyone in the world must spit on them.

    "This old man is not doing human affairs." The Duke of Guo was happy for a while, but suddenly he felt as if someone had poured cold water on him from top to bottom on a hot winter day, and his whole body felt cold.  Go in a hurry.

    The Duke's wife said to the maid Pearl next to her, "Go and take a look. What's going on? It's so good that the fifth master went to the clan leader and demanded that Wen Wan be removed?"

    When Sanfang got the news, his eyes turned green and red.  It turns red and turns green, and it becomes cross-eyed.

    "I didn't expect it. I am very good at reading people. This time, I was mistaken. Wen Wan is indeed a pure and kind person! Otherwise, I would donate such a large sum of money as I said. How many people in the world can do that?  We can do it." Over in the fourth room, the fourth master praised him for quite some time after hearing the news.

    "I got the information right. It's really more than 1.4 million taels of silver. How come she has so much money? This child is too secretive. I initially thought that having 3 to 400,000 taels would be a big deal.  My God. She is indeed the granddaughter of the emperor. It¡¯s incredible.¡± The fourth lady shook her head after hearing the news.  He didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

    "That's fine. With this public servant, we can restore the reputation of our Taira family. When we go out in the future, we no longer need to be afraid of other people's strange eyes. Once Xiao is born, we can recover well." Si  I think so.  Very remote and very insightful.

    But after the fourth master received the news from the clan leader, his face became ugly.  Went out in a hurry.  Does this fifth child want the Taira family to be doomed?

    The fourth lady asked the people around her and was stunned when she heard that the fifth master had suggested to the clan leader that Wen Wan should be removed.  I also hurriedly went to find the eldest lady.  This is not a matter of one person, it concerns the whole family and her husband's future.  How could Master Wu be allowed to do such a stupid thing.

    Not to mention the expulsion, if this matter spreads out now, the Taira family will be drowned in spit.

    Ping Xiangxi thought he had done the right thing, but the result was unexpected.  But he was criticized from head to toe by everyone in the clan.  The patriarch looked at him and was so angry that he almost dragged him to the pond to die.  If he really got rid of his name, then he would be dragging the Taira family into the abyss.  But after all, he was concerned that he was a gentle biological father. Although he was angry, he still held back.  He also asked him to apologize to the princess in person.  If he doesn't go, the clan leader will personally escort him there.

    Wen Wan didn¡¯t say anything, she just said it was all a misunderstanding.  She was sorry that her father misunderstood her, and she didn't blame him.  The clan leader was so generous and filial that he sighed and said that Wen Wan was indeed a benevolent and righteous person.  The Taira family is proud to have such a daughter.

    Chi, it would be strange if Wen Wan really thought so.  But things have come to this, so no matter how much Ping Xiangxi's fault is investigated, she can't really be allowed to leave the clan.  Wen Wan really regrets it now. She really shouldn't have entered the Taira family tree in the first place, so she found out the trouble for herself.  Otherwise, she could use those two hours this time to find Ping Xiangxi and file a complaint with the government to break away from her father-daughter relationship.  Ahem, so, the last thing in this world is the regret medicine.

      The patriarch said to Ping Xiangxi sincerely, "Xiang Xi, you have such a good and filial daughter. You must treat her well in the future. This time she has won such a big reputation for the Ping family, and so will our entire clan.  Proud of her.¡±

    After hearing this, Ping Xiangxi felt guilty and regretful.  After returning home, he locked An in the room and refused to allow her to come out.  But trouble also came for him. Although he was observing filial piety at home, he still asked his former Shangguan to call him.  As soon as he entered the Hanlin Academy, other people would say something bad about him.  He said that your daughter is so lucky to be so rich and can enjoy happiness at home.  It made Ping Xiangxi angry and annoyed, and all these officials felt sorry for their wallets.  Don't show any mercy when it comes to your mouth.

    But now Anshi is very tight on money.  The last time the family was divided, she received several thousand taels of silver, but she didn't give it to her, and there was a lot of trouble.  However, he now also knows the importance of money. He cannot go out to socialize without money.  But An also knew that her husband's heart was no longer with her, and if she didn't keep the money, she would have nothing.

    ¡°As a father, I have no money, but as a daughter, I am so generous.  When An got the news and knew the whole story, she immediately said she wouldn't donate and wanted to donate money to Wen Wan.  She is so rich, so she should support this father with three to five thousand taels of silver.  Then I stayed in the small Buddhist hall and didn't come out.  She finally understood that her relationship with Ping Xiangxi as husband and wife was over.  The only thing he can hold in his hand is money.  For the sake of her children, she must be cruel.

    Wenwan¡¯s side is out of money, this time it¡¯s really out of money.  Wenwan only left three hundred taels of silver for household use!  When Ping Xiangxi came, he naturally had no money to give.  Wen Wan said, if you really want to blame me, then I will pay half of it.  She rolled up a bag of gold and silver jewelry that she didn't usually wear and went out. She said to Ping Xiangxi, "Pawn it, you should be able to pawn it for one or two thousand taels."  The servants around looked at him with great disdain.

    I have never seen such a shameless father. The princess has already donated all her wealth.  He even forced his daughter to sell things.

    Ping Xiangxi looked at the servant woman's contemptuous eyes and ran away in humiliation.  He went home and forced An to take the money. If he refused, he would divorce his wife and go back to An's house.  I spared more than two thousand taels and spent a long time collecting it. Aunt Fan added some more with her dowry.

    After that, Ping Xiangxi wanted to take away An's stewardship, but An also gave in.  If anyone dares to take away her power, she will go to the Yamen to sue her, saying that she spoiled her concubine and destroyed her wife.  There was a lot of fuss.  Ping Xiangxi had no choice but to give up.  No, it's very simple. If the rumor spreads that he spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife, he would not be able to become an official after keeping his filial piety.

    "Do you know what shocking things Princess Wen Wan has done?" Mrs. Hai felt bitter and bitter. Really, she lost eight thousand taels of silver in one go. The old man also said that she was only average among the officials in the court.  Princess Wenwan donated all her belongings, which is really a role model for everyone.

    Ruyu looked at his mother strangely, why did she suddenly talk about Wenwan in such a good mood.  Wen Wan has been in a bad mood these past few days. She is always worried and worried about the emperor's health.  She knew it too.  She also heard about Wen Wan's desire to hoard food.  She just smiled, not believing that Wen Wan would do such a stupid thing.  Wen Wan is not a fool, and she is a very independent person. People around her always obey her words and don't worry about being instigated.  Therefore, she was very sure that someone was playing tricks on it.

    "She, the princess, donated all her family property to the court for disaster relief. I heard that there was only one farm left and the house she lived in. I don't know if it is true?" Mrs. Hai herself is not obsessed with money.  However, this is really unbelievable.  She asked her daughter to study with Wen Wan that day, and was worried that her daughter's noble character would be ruined by Wen Wan.  But now tell her that she was completely wrong.  The princess is a person who regards money as dirt.  For a moment, she really couldn't turn around.

    "Ah, Wenwan donated all her property to the court for disaster relief? Then what will she eat in the future?" Ruyu was surprised and asked with some disbelief.

    "The emperor said this in front of the civil and military ministers, and it was to be put into the treasury, so it should be true. It's really hard for her to part with more than one million taels of silver." Although it also caused blood in her family,  But in comparison, this child's sincere heart is even more rare.

    Ruyu was very moved and admired after hearing this.  He immediately ordered the maid to take out her body, which contained more than two hundred taels.  When Mrs. Hai saw this posture, she naturally knew what she was going to do.

    He smiled and did not stop.  At this moment, if the daughter does this, it will also be very good for her own reputation and that of her family.  (To be continued)
