Fight the Giants

  Chapter 677 My Worry

   "Speak to Mrs. Tai too." Huo Xi replied.

  Although Mrs. Tai is cleaning up in the ancestral hall, it is not impossible to come out. I still have to tell her about such important matters.

   "Okay, the second aunt will go and tell her."

   "Then I will go with my sister-in-law."

  Watching the two of them leave, Huo Xi walked towards her own yard while ordering Xiang Cao, "Go and tell your guy to take my seal to the bank and get some bank notes."

   "Okay, girl."

  Xiang Cao was about to leave, when Huo Xi sized her up.

   "Girl, what are you looking at?"

   "You have no body?"

   "What body?"

   "You've been married for a while, right?"

  Vanilla stomped her feet: "Girl!" She gave Huo Xi a look, which made all the maids around her laugh.

   "Don't you can't do it, Vanilla!" Everyone teased her.

   "You can't do it! My family is strong and strong, which I don't want for the time being. We have agreed that we will have children when the girl is married."

   "Huh? Can Zhufeng agree?" Huo Xi was a little surprised.

   "How dare he disagree!"

   "Tsk tsk, it's different when we get married, look at the tone of his speech." Mama Ma also teased her.

  Vanilla stomped her feet again: "I don't agree with you. I went to my gang." She ran away quickly.

  At the beginning, she was just a little girl who was secretly sold by her stepmother. Fortunately, she met a girl, and she was taken in by her side.

  The girl married her to Zhuifeng again, so that she had a family. She was grateful and wanted to serve the girl well. They also like the children, and it's okay to be two years late.

  Nurse Ma looked at the figure running away from Xiangcao, "Girl, doesn't Sihua think the same way? I look at her and she doesn't seem to be moving."

  Huo Xi felt warm in his heart, "Let them go. It's good for girls to have children two years later."

   "Exactly, and the recovery will be quick when the time comes." Mama Ma followed up and said that when the girl gets married, she will also remind the girl to have a child two years later.

  In the evening, Huo Xi knew that Mrs. Tai also donated five thousand taels. Several ladies and young masters also donated several hundred taels with their own savings.

  Bike came to eat, and whispered to Huo Nian: "Fifth brother, how much did you donate?"

   "My sister used all the money on my body to buy property. I only have a little over a thousand taels, and I plan to donate one thousand taels."

  Bike opened her mouth in awe, "Fifth brother, you have so much money!"

Huo Nian scratched his head. He knew he was rich. Seeing Ninth Younger Sister like this, he was a little shy: "I've been saving money since I was a child. My parents let me save the fish I catch, the fish I net, and the money I sell. . You can save a lot in one year."

  Bike and Zhang Mao were quite envious of their brother for having so much money, but after hearing this, they felt sorry for his brother, "Brother Wu, when you were saving money, I let the nanny hug and feed you."

  The three little ones chattered about their childhood, which made Huo Xi laugh.

   "Sister Ning, Sister Ning!" A loud voice sounded outside the courtyard gate.

   "It's the third uncle!" The younger ones slid off the chairs.

  Huo Xi smiled, isn't it? The third uncle has a loud voice and a high degree of recognition, so everyone in the house can recognize it.

   "Third Uncle." Several people greeted him out.

   "Are you eating?"

   "Yes, third uncle, do you want to use it together?"

   "No, no, third uncle used it outside." He took out a few bank notes from his pocket while talking.

   "Here, this is two thousand taels."

   "What is third uncle doing?"

"Our third room is the same as the second room, and we all donate five thousand taels." He is a Jinyiwei commander, although he is not as high as the second brother's Shence guard commander, and he is not as high as the eldest brother, but he can't be too much lower than the second brother .

   "Third Uncle..." This is unnecessary, the family is of flesh and blood, and the number will not be disclosed to the public.

"It's okay, take it. Third uncle has money, so he doesn't need these two thousand taels. Also, didn't you say that you wanted to tell your third aunt about a business with money coming in? Third uncle will hang out with sister Ning from now on, you The bride price and dowry of the younger brothers and sisters depend entirely on you."

   After speaking, he patted Huo Xi on the shoulder, and left with a big smile.

  Huo Xi watched him go away, looked at the bank note in his hand, shook his head and laughed. Turning around again, seeing Nian'er, Bi Ke and Zhang Mao are all staring at him.

"do what?"

   "Tsk tsk, elder sister, you are so pitiful. You are also responsible for the dowry and bride price of the sixth elder sister and the tenth younger brother." Bi Ke felt that her elder sister was very pitiful.

  Huo Xi couldn't help laughing.

   Later, Zhuifeng took the banknotes back, Huo Xi looked at them, and put them in the box together with the banknotes in the house.

   "Girl, do you need to donate so much?"

   Vanilla covered her heart. Two million taels. Zhuifeng took all the money he had saved over the years for her. Although it was a lot, compared with the two million yuan, he still didn't think much of it.

  Huo Xi glanced at the box, "There are more than one million taels of Wu's family property that was collected at the beginning. These ill-gotten gains should be used for those who need them."

  Uh... Vanilla and Mama looked at each other, and almost forgot about it.

   "Then just donate his family's wealth." The girl still posted so many.

"Now the whole capital knows that I am in business. Although they don't know my family background, it is a fact that I am an honorable daughter, and it is a fact that I compete with the people for profit. Donating the money this time will reduce the criticism from outside. "

Mother Ma nodded again and again: "What the girl said is true. A woman's reputation is the most important thing, and a splash of dirty water and sewage can kill people. Back then, in our mansion, the first-class duke's mansion, it's not like the Wu family couldn't get most of the wives outside. Just because she was supported by a concubine, and she was not upright, the noble ladies from the famous families who carried eight sedan chairs looked down on her."

   "I don't care so much, but when I think of Nian'er, I don't want to affect him because of me."

"It's right for a girl to think so. Come on, women are connected to their families, parents, brothers and sisters, and this reputation cannot be torn apart. Otherwise, why do you say that if one person commits a crime, the whole family will sit together? But if one person's words and deeds are inappropriate, the whole family The girls don’t have face when they go out.”

  Huo Xi couldn't help but sighed. It seems that no matter what environment you are in, you must do what you should do in this environment. Everything must conform to the public order and good customs of the time.

  The next day, Concubine Zhang's palace servants entered the mansion again, and Huo Xi handed her the bank notes in the box.

   "There are not only donations from our family, but also a little heart from the tribe."

   "Great kindness. I will truthfully report the situation of your mansion to the imperial concubine and empress. These days, the emperor is so sad that even the empress and the nobles in the harem dare not speak out."

  “I hope that our humble kindness can bring some warmth to the people in the disaster-stricken areas.”

   "Your mansion is very kind. I will tell you the truth."

  Zhong Cui Palace.

  Concubine Zhang Guifei thought that some of the empresses' natal families sent bank notes yesterday. There are as many as hundreds of thousands of taels, and the emperor praised them fiercely, and some of them were praised by the emperor constantly, saying, "My beloved concubines think about what I think, and worry about what I worry about. My heart is very comforting."

   I don't know what happened to her natal family, but the family is a first-class Duke's mansion.

   "My Lady, Ling'e is back!"
