Before hanging himself, Chongzhen lifted the table

Chapter 28 Is it easy for me?
However, Gao Ding was unmoved. He stood there and just stared at Zhou Kui, and then asked: "The Queen said, if you want to be sure, how much money can you donate tomorrow?"

After Zhou Kui heard this, he immediately became angry. He stood up and shouted loudly: "How much silver can I donate? It also depends on how much silver I have in my house, right? I have to count, plunder and plunder to see how much silver I can give out. Do you have a number? How about you wait here and wait for me to see, and I will donate as much money as I can raise, okay?"

Hearing this news, his son came out of nowhere and shouted: "My sister is really like this. How can you focus on your own family when it comes to losing money? Go back and ask her if her surname is Zhou and she is married. Your surname is no longer Zhou, right?"

Gao Ding was actually very angry when he heard what the father and son said.

The queen may not know, but most of the people at the bottom have heard that Jiadingbo's family made money crazily because their daughter was the queen and their grandson was made the prince. However, others dared not speak out.

For those who don’t know, from what the father and son said, they thought they didn’t have much money. However, Gao Ding is sure that the Zhou family has more money than ordinary civil and military officials!

But he couldn't afford to offend the two people in front of him. Their wealth was guaranteed to last as long as two generations of emperors!He could only do what the queen ordered.

Therefore, Gao Ding stopped talking, turned around and walked out.

Seeing this, Zhou Kui's son sneered and said, "What the hell? You're forcing donations on your own head!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at his father and said, "They are right. They are planning to hit us. If we open our mouths, they might think of us if they don't have money in the future, and they will keep forcing us to donate." Money. No matter how much money you make, you can’t put enough money into it.”

After hearing this, Zhou Kui nodded and said: "Sooner or later, the emperor must give up this idea. If he can't get enough money by forcing donations, he won't continue to think about it."

The father and son were talking, but they saw Gao Ding coming back again.

When Zhou Kui saw it, he was furious. When he was about to speak, he heard Gao Ding salute them first and said: "The Queen has already prepared. If the uncle really can't come up with the money, the palace has collected 5000 taels of silver. It's all the Queen." With nearly 20 years of private money, I will choose a suitable time tomorrow to take the lead in donating it."

While they were talking, two strong eunuchs came in carrying a large box.

When Zhou Kui heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He quickly got up and hurried over to check.

His son was one step ahead of him and was already telling him: "Come on, come on, open it and take a look!"

After hearing this, Gao Ding stepped forward and opened the lid of the box, revealing a box of silver of various sizes, and even some gold and silver jewelry, which were obviously scraped together.

When Zhou Kui saw it, his eyes turned into slits with a smile, and he immediately said cheerfully: "If you had taken it out earlier, you would have avoided the bad look just now, right?"

Gao Ding couldn't help but feel even more angry after hearing this.

This box of belongings was accumulated over nearly 20 years after the queen got married, and she paid for it on behalf of her mother-in-law's family.As a result, in Jiadingbo's eyes, he only saw white money, instead of the Queen's nearly twenty years of hard work!

To be honest, he had the urge to rush up and beat the Queen.

Fortunately, he is from the palace, so he can still control his temper.Gao Ding tried his best to speak as calmly as possible and then asked: "Uncle, please give me a message so that our family can reply to the Queen. How much can you donate?"

Hearing this, Zhou Kui, who had been happy just now, suddenly changed his expression and said with an unhappy face: "How much more can you give me? I don't want any of this money. Can I just donate it all?" Gao Ding: "..."

Since you don’t have any money, you can only donate what the Queen gave you?
When he wanted to say more, he saw Zhou Kui's son started to push and pull him, and half-sent him away and half-rushed him impatiently, driving him out of the Zhou Mansion: "Tell my sister and reassure her, she will definitely be satisfied. "

Afterwards, he returned to the lobby and saw his father still looking at the box of silver, so he said to his father: "Dad, I guess the price of food will get higher and higher. How about setting up a food store? I'm interested in it." One, but the other person still has some background, so he may need to spend some money."

In his words, if he said he had some background, he must have a big background. If he had an ordinary background and his family's background, he could just eat whatever he wanted, which might cost his family money.

When Zhou Kui heard this, he immediately became interested. After asking about the situation, he immediately decided: "Okay, just get 2000 taels from here, no more!"

When his son heard this, he immediately smiled and asked, "How much are you going to give me tomorrow? Three thousand?"

After hearing this, Zhou Kui glared at his son and said: "Is it possible that you still want to pay back the money yourself? What if they come to ask why they broke the contract? As long as we work together to prevent the emperor from getting money from us, he In the future, you won’t think of continuing to take advantage of our wallets. Do you understand this?”

"Hehe, I'm just afraid that my father will spend the money on impulse just for the sake of my sister!"

"Get lost!" Zhou Kui said angrily after hearing this, "I have suffered all my life, is it easy to save some money for retirement?"

………………

Queen Zhou was busy at the Kunning Palace in the Forbidden City. The maids lined up one by one to report to her. However, when she saw Couture appearing, she immediately suspended what she was doing and went to the back hall, bringing some Nervously, Gao Ding asked, "How about it? How much can you donate?"

Seeing the queen like this, Gao Ding didn't know how to answer.Especially looking at the queen's nervous expression and expectant eyes, in the end, he couldn't help but said with a little anger: "Returning to the queen, my uncle has never given an accurate letter, probably... he will probably only donate to the queen. The empress gave me the money."

Having said this, he knelt down again and apologized: "Perhaps my humble heart has made a mistake. My uncle will donate more!"

When Queen Zhou heard this, a disappointed expression immediately appeared on her face.She really knows her mother's family very well.With this kind of answer, you can basically be sure that the family probably won't have any money and will only use the money they gave you.

She lowered her head and immediately confirmed: "Have you told me the importance of the matter?"

"The slave said it at the beginning, but the uncle seemed to have expected what the slave was going to say. The uncle seemed very impatient and didn't even let the slave finish what he said."

After hearing this, Queen Zhou was stunned for a moment, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just waved her hand and asked Gao Ding to retreat.

"5000 taels is just 5000 taels. It's not too much, and it's certainly not the least. It may make His Majesty less angry."

She sighed in her heart, comforted herself, then cheered up, hurried to the front hall, and continued to do things.The emperor repeatedly stated that the payment of military pay was a top priority and should not be taken lightly.
