Chapter 875 The speaker has intention and the listener has interest
Shen Xia's words are also irritating. The sound of the word "赚" is drawn out very long.
What does it mean?
That can only be the case that the speaker has intention and the listener takes it seriously.
Mrs. Xu almost vomited blood when she heard what Shen Xia said.
That was money she squeezed out by gritting her teeth!
As a result, after she said that, it became like stolen money.
The Queen listened and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Madam Xu, you are so righteous!"
When Mrs. Xu heard this, her expression improved a little.
Of course Shen Xia did not grab Madam Xu, and then looked at Concubine Yi: "Concubine Yi was the first to speak, I think she cares most about the lives of the people."
When Concubine Yi heard this, she wondered why it was her turn now.
I am already short of money, where can I get any money from?
But seeing that everyone is looking at me, I can’t just not donate a penny!
Now I finally understand what it means to shoot oneself in the foot.
Concubine Yi had no choice but to slowly speak: "I am not well-off, so I can only donate two thousand taels."
You have to know that these two thousand taels are all the savings in hand.
The Duchess's wife opposite looked at the situation.
I'm afraid I'll have to give one too.
Thinking about what my daughter just said.
The mood is not beautiful anymore.
You have to know that the current princess looks bright and beautiful on the outside, but in fact she is just an empty shell.
The Duke's wife looked at her daughter-in-law next to her and had no choice but to let her leave.
The wives of the six ministers are all here.
Mrs. Su opposite was looking at him with a smile.
Both Mrs. Su and Mrs. Zheng are familiar with it.
Mrs. Su is Su Yan's mother, and Mrs. Zheng is Zheng Jinshu's mother.
These are all people who are good friends with Shen Xia.
Now it is the Duke's Mansion's turn.
The Duke's wife looked at her daughter-in-law.
Pei Yuanqi's wife spoke slowly: "Although the Duke's Mansion is not wealthy, for the sake of the people, I am willing to take out my dowry and donate 10,000 taels of silver."
The Duke's wife listened to her daughter-in-law.
The throat was holding back a breath, which was neither up nor down.
Just donate, why say so much.
Shen Xia raised the corner of her lips and looked at the aggrieved look of the Duke's wife opposite her.
It feels so comfortable, but Sister Zi Yan can’t see it.
Otherwise I will feel relieved!
This guy is indeed a businessman.
You can spend money, but you can't take losses.
I have to say, Shen Xia looked at the woman happily.
I heard that the concubine was not well handled in her hands.
So refreshing!
When the Queen heard this, she was surprised that although this woman was young, she had such a broad mind and was said to be a businesswoman.
So a plaque was specially given.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, the woman quickly stood up and thanked the master.
Next, each lady donated 5,000 taels.
So the two thousand taels that Concubine Yi received were quite embarrassing.
Xiyue looked at her mother's gloomy face and was speechless.
I don't know how to talk to her and expect her to listen.
Shen Xia was the last one to donate.
He donated 10,000 taels directly.
She didn't need the ten thousand taels of silver, but there was no need for her to force herself to do so.
After all, she remembered what Concubine Yi said just now.
The country doesn't have much money, but it's definitely not a good thing if you are too rich.
The people sitting here have each donated a total of 100,000 taels of silver.
Although it’s not much, it can still last for two days.
Seeing that the time was almost up, everyone said goodbye and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The Queen must go with the Emperor.
Shen Xia walked outside and exchanged a few words with Madam Su and Madam Zheng.
After all, they are the same age as their predecessors.
Shen Xia was still polite.
Shen Xia originally thought that he would meet Xiaotian and happened to have something to give him.
But I didn't meet him.
When they arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the men had already taken their seats.
This kind of banquet is usually held on one side by men and on the other side by women.
So Shen Xia followed the servant to his own seat.
She was not far from Princess Rui.
But the two of them usually have nothing to say.
However, the Crown Prince's Consort next to her could say a few words.
Everyone sat quietly, and those who knew each other chatted a few words.
After a while, the Emperor, Empress, and Concubine Yi arrived.
Xiaotian is the eldest prince, the second prince is behind the emperor, and there is also the third prince under Concubine Rong.
And Princess Xiyue is with her.
Shen Xia looked at the younger concubine behind her and saw that she was quite good looking.
I just have never seen it before, what level is it!
I can actually come to attend the state banquet.
This is quite curious.
Mrs. Zheng next to her looked at Shen Xia curiously.
Then he whispered, "This is His Majesty's new concubine, Concubine Li."
Shen Xia turned around and whispered, "What identity?"
"The concubine sister of Concubine Rong."
"Oh." Could it be that he has been sick recently and can't get up?
Shen Xia thought it was his brother's problem, but he didn't expect it to be this reason.
Shen Xia looked at Concubine Li and found that she and Concubine Rong were somewhat similar.
However, from a woman's perspective, she is not as exquisite as Concubine Rong.
But it is pure.
Older men should like this kind of appearance.
The Qin family was really afraid that Concubine Rong would fall out of favor, so they quickly sent another daughter into the palace!
Thinking back to a few days ago, that dog man still had feelings for me.
Turning around, he saw the newly-married Concubine Li.
This man is simply a pig.
It’s still better to have people in your own house!
Shen Xia looked at the big brother opposite him, who was a little bit away from General Xiao.
After all, Xiao Bei is a first-rank general.
Shen Xia looked at Mu Xuanye's expressionless face opposite her.
There was another woman beside him.
Shen Xia had never seen this woman before.
Never heard of it.
It might be the carriage he took when he came to Beijing before, so Shen Xia had never seen it before.
When Shen Xia looked at her.
It just so happened that the other party might have also noticed him.
So the two of them stood facing each other, because they didn't know each other.
It is impossible for Shen Xia to keep a straight face.
Show a hint of politeness.
As a result, the other party was dismissive.
Shen Xia: “…”
This is what is said to be a cold shoulder.
Fortunately it’s not too hot.
After everyone saluted.
The emperor sat down and said some polite words.
Then we started enjoying the show, singing and dancing.
I'm used to seeing all of this, and there's nothing new about it. The only interesting thing is that these women are all very beautiful.
It's quite pleasing to the eye.
At this time, the welcome state banquet did not discuss state affairs.
Generally, state affairs were discussed between the Honglu Temple and the enemy's envoys.
So everyone can just talk and have something to say.
In fact, there are small wars on the border every year.
There was no big fight, and Shen Xia simply didn't understand what they meant.
Of course, she was not interested in state affairs.
In fact, there will be no major war, but there will be constant small battles!
Of course, it was to test each other's military strength and bottom line.
The Dongli Kingdom and the Dajin Kingdom are equally powerful, and they are both willing to discuss cooperation.
Because only if they work together to take down Northern Qi, they won't have to worry about being annexed by the other side.
However, Northern Qi was too powerful and did not dare to act rashly.
So everyone try the situation here.
Of course, Dongli and Dajin are both smart, and they would never cooperate with Northern Qi.
Otherwise, the lips and teeth will be in danger.
Shen Xia felt a little stuffy in here.
I just wanted to go out and get some fresh air.
