God-given peasant wife's good fortune

Chapter 638 Ouyang Wanruo's Condemnation

[-]

"Old Madam Zhuang has a heart, so it's a good thing." Su Kefang already understood Madam Zhuang's intention of inviting him here, and said straightforwardly: "If the fund-raising banquet is completed, we will give a thousand shi of grain from the Huguo Gongfu. One hundred chickens, one hundred ducks and two hundred catties of fresh fish."

Mrs. Zhuang didn't really want to ask her opinion, but wanted to probe her, to see how much she could contribute, and if she could stand up for her at the fundraising banquet?

She must be reluctant to ask Su Kefang to take out the vain money. Now that all the dignitaries in Shengjing City know about her opening of the grain store, she simply sells the grain. Anyway, the grain does not cost money, so it is for Mrs. Zhuang This face.

Su Kefang is willing to offer one thousand shi of grain, one hundred chickens, one hundred ducks, and two hundred catties of fresh fish. This will make Mrs. Zhuang more happy than offering silver. With your words, I don’t worry that I won’t be able to raise money by then!”

Su Kefang smiled, anyway, the food is going to be sold, so why not sell the old lady Zhuang for a good?

But Su Kefang didn't know that the flower viewing banquet in Taifu's mansion was not intended by Mrs. Zhuang, nor was it meant by the Taifu, but was ordered by the emperor, so hearing that Su Kefang was willing to sacrifice so much food, Mrs. Zhuang was very upset. He breathed a sigh of relief, and finally lived up to the emperor's trust.

Three days later, the snow stopped and the weather was cold. Su Kefang and Xiang Bingyu got into the carriage and went to the Taifu Mansion together, while Xiang Chenxiang rode in front of the carriage with Ze'er.

"Ze'er, kid, don't let him ride in the carriage, don't freeze." Inside the carriage, Xiang Bingyu murmured as he grilled the fire beside the charcoal basin.

Su Kefang didn't care: "Ze'er has enough clothes, she won't be cold."

Ever since she decided to follow her mother-in-law's advice to train Ze'er, Su Kefang forced herself to be hard-hearted, telling herself that she must not give up halfway.

Xiang Bingyu glanced at Su Kefang: "You and mother are really willing."

Ze'er's growth during this period is obvious to all, and she also sees the suffering she has suffered. Sometimes even her aunt feels distressed, but her mother and Fang'er are indifferent, as if Ze'er is not Like a biological heir of the Xiang family.

Su Kefang pulled the clothes on his body, but did not make a sound.

She gave birth to the son, so how could she really not feel bad, she believed that her mother-in-law loved Ze'er no less than she did, and they were cruel now so that they would not worry and feel sad for Ze'er in the future.

Today's Taifu's Mansion is more lively than Mrs. Zhuang's birthday. On her birthday, Mrs. Zhuang only hosted a banquet for high-ranking officials and women in Shengjing City, but today Mrs. Zhuang invited the owners of a dozen or so large merchants in Shengjing City. coming.

It is rare for these big merchants to meet the high officials in the court, but today they had this rare opportunity, so naturally they all brought their sons and daughters with them. As for the real purpose and plan, only they knew in their hearts.

Mrs. Zhuang disclosed the news when she asked people to send the post, so that everyone could discuss the amount to be donated in advance at home, so everyone knew about the flower viewing party held by the Taifu Mansion today before coming here It's drunken people who don't want to drink, although there are many people who don't want to donate money, but due to Mrs. Zhuang's face, no one dares to be absent.

Today is quite special, after enjoying the flowers in a meaningful way, Mrs. Zhuang invited all the guests to a courtyard specially used for holding banquets and burning earth dragons. The male and female guests were only separated by a screen and sat on the left and right sides.

Today Ouyang Wanruo and Princess Nora came here together, and Madam Zhuang arranged to sit with Su Kefang at the same table, and An Shi was also at the same table.

An's hatred for Su Kefang did not decrease because of Ji Tai's warning, but because of the unknown cause of her youngest son's death, she hated her even more.

"Madam Marshal, I heard that you made a fortune for the country a while ago, and donated money to the refugees today. Presumably Madam Marshal will take it from the people and return it to the people, right?"

An Shi asked with a smile on his face, and his words were all accusations against her. Although his voice was not loud, the female relatives at two or three tables around could still hear her.

A few days ago, the porridge shop outside the city was disturbed by Chin Dou, and everyone knew that someone framed Su Kefang's grain shop. An's words were undoubtedly intended to mislead everyone, making everyone think that Su Kefang was Such a disaster was caused for the sake of making money.

Seeing that the surrounding women's families stretched their ears, An's lips curled up in satisfaction.

In front of so many people today, let's see how Su Clan can clean himself up!
Su Kefang raised his eyes and looked at An Shi with a smile that was not a smile: "Uncle and Madam, do you envy me, or are you jealous of me?"

Contempt flashed in An's eyes, and he said sarcastically: "How can I say this, even if I have the ability of the marshal's wife, I don't have the hard-heartedness of the marshal's wife, how can I be called envious or jealous?"

"Madam Guo's words are reasonable," Su Kefang sighed softly, "It's better not to do such thankless things."

Hearing this, An Shi gave Su Kefang a vigilant look, but wisely did not answer.

But An's refusal to answer the phone doesn't mean that others don't.

Princess Nora, who wanted to choke Anshi when Anshi said the first sentence, looked coldly on Anshi's face, and followed up with Su Kefang's words: "Madam Marshal, what do you say?"

Su Kefang pulled the corner of his lower lip, and said helplessly: "Princess Nora doesn't know something. I was originally moved by the kindness of the ladies, so I sold the grain I collected at a low price. The original intention was to serve the ladies. Saving money and expressing my heart, who would have offended the owner of another grain shop and brought disaster on myself! I was even more chilled when I heard the words of Mrs. Guo's wife just now. I knew that good intentions would be exchanged for everyone's misunderstanding. Why should I?"

Su Kefang had a sad and remorseful look on his face, which made the female relatives at the surrounding tables feel ashamed.

Just now, because of Madam Guo’s words, they almost believed it to be true, thinking that Madam Marshal’s fortune was a disaster for the country, but they forgot that the price of grain that Madam Marshal gave them was cheaper than that of other grain stores. You might even lose money!
Thinking of this, everyone felt angry at An's deliberate provocation, but considering An's identity, few people dared to express their true thoughts on their faces.

"Marshal's wife can't think like that!" Ouyang Wanruo said in a low voice, "Marshal Xiang is leading tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line to defend the country, and Marshal's wife is donating food and goods in the rear. Brother Huang and the common people have their own mirrors in their hearts." , the two of you, husband and wife, are a model for our Anjin country, how can you be blasphemed by such narrow-minded people?"

Ouyang Wanruo spoke every word with a loud voice, and what she said was full of praise to Su Kefang and condemnation of Anshi. Anshi's face turned green and then pale, and the surrounding female relatives buried their heads low, so as not to be affected by the fish in the pond.
