I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl! - Chapter 300

Chapter 300 Donation

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty received Qin Chi asking for an audience.

After thinking about it, I saw it.

Qin Chi came over to thank him, and then said sincerely: “Your Majesty, I heard that you suddenly rewarded me because of rumors, which made me very scared. The rumors outside are untrue. They are mostly people’s pastime. I don’t accept it. I want to make His Majesty worry.”

Emperor Ming Cheng looked at Qin Chi.

Of course he knew the situation, but he was just doing it for fun.

Emperor Mingcheng pointed to the chessboard next to him, “Let’s talk about a game.”

“Then it’s better to be respectful than to obey.”

Qin Chi straightened his back and sat across from Emperor Mingcheng.

When the king and his ministers are playing chess.

Song Jin also came to the Ministry of Household Affairs with donated things.

As soon as the official guarding the door of the Ministry of Revenue heard about Song Jin’s intention, he immediately went in to pass the news. I thought that the person who would come out to help me would be a member of staff or a chief executive at most.

Waited for a short while.

A group of officials came out surrounded by the Minister of Household Affairs.

Song Jin was stunned for a long time.

The Minister of Household Affairs looked happy on his face. Seeing Song Jin was like meeting the God of Wealth. He said warmly: “She is the wife of Qin Zhuangyuan’s family, right? I heard that you came here specially to donate to the people affected by the Taihu Lake disaster. This makes me happy.” The officer was very impressed. When he heard that you were coming, he couldn’t sit still and came over to show his respect for Mrs. Qin.”

He stepped forward without waiting for Song Jin to speak.

The Minister of Household Affairs bowed deeply to Song Jin and said, “On behalf of the people affected by the disaster in Taihu Lake, I, Xia Wei, would like to thank Madam Qin for her high righteousness.”

“Your Majesty, you are too polite.”

Song Jin pretended to be panicked and avoided it.

He didn’t dare to accept Xia Wei’s gift.

Song Jin did not expect to receive such great attention, so he hurriedly clarified: “Your Excellency made a mistake. It was not me who donated it, but my family donated it on behalf of Your Majesty and the masters in the palace.”

Xia Wei’s eyelids twitched, “In the palace?”

Song Jin was saying something when the servant next to him suggested, “Mr. Xia, why don’t you invite Madam Qin in to talk first?”

“Oh, I’m rude. Madam Qin, please come in.” Xia Wei turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Song Jin also pretended to be nervous, “Sir, please go first. I’ll just follow.”

Before coming here, Song Jin’s words and deeds were consistent with his rural background, and outsiders would not be surprised when they saw him.

There is a prerequisite for donating money.

Song Jin entered the yamen of the Ministry of Finance and received a warm welcome, including not only tea but also fruits and snacks.

Waiting for things to be moved into the Yamen.

Officials came out to count and found that in addition to gold and silver, other items were also worth a lot of money. It was much easier for the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs to exchange them for silver than Song Jin.

Not to mention the rewards.

Most people can’t exchange it for silver if they keep it.

When the handover was completed, Song Jin did not wait long.

As if he was being chased by a ghost, he quickly left the Yamen.

The officials from the Ministry of Revenue were delighted to see this.

“By the way, this is the first time we have seen Qin Qi’an’s wife.”

One person said this, and others agreed.

Suddenly, a voice contained malicious intent and said: “She looks very ordinary, and at most pretty, so no wonder Qin Qi’an hid her and didn’t let her come out. Isn’t it because he couldn’t get his hands on her?”

As soon as the man said this.

His colleagues silently moved away from him.

It’s better to stay away from such a stupid thing, so as not to burden them.

Mrs. Qin’s appearance is mediocre, but they have eyes to see.

But who said that?

Based on what the other party did today, even if the other party is extremely ugly, they will still praise her a few words outside. Xia Wei took the list of Song Jin’s donation, and the more he looked at it, the more interesting it became, “Ninety taels of gold? Your Majesty rewarded it yesterday. The Qin family kept one ingot, but they exchanged it for a hundred taels of silver and added it.”

A servant next to him said, “The rest should be rewarded by the masters in the palace. The Qin family has sent them to the Ministry of Revenue and donated them in the name of the masters.”

“What does Qin Qi’an mean by this? You have donated it. Do you think you don’t care about these rewards?”

As soon as these words came out, the man seemed to be shocked and made a mistake, and quickly added: “I didn’t mean that, I meant…”

“What you say is not important. As an official of the imperial court, you should not make any assumptions. If others cause trouble, you will be responsible for most of it.” An official reminded seriously.

The man immediately dared not say anything.

Even Shangshu Xia Wei glanced at the man who made the mistake.

We are all old men in the officialdom. Can we still tell the difference between a true gaffe and a false gaffe? This stupid guy almost wants to blame Qin Chi for “despising the emperor’s favor”!

Xia Wei put the list in his sleeve pocket and stood up, “I have come to the palace. Your Majesty, the Queen and other masters have donated money to the people of Taihu. Please go out and publicize it. You must let everyone in the capital know that our Majesty will do it day and night.” Worried about the people affected by the disaster in Taihu Lake.”

“Sir, what are you…”

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

The officials on the side who understood were shocked.

Xia Wei’s eyes coolly swept away, and no one dared to question him again, “Just do as you are told. Otherwise, if the Ministry of Household Affairs has no money, what will it do to provide disaster relief? Are you going to skin you?”

“What your Excellency said is absolutely true. I will go and publicize it now.”

“I’ll make arrangements too.”

“It will go faster if there are more people. I’ll ask someone to help me.”

“…”

The officials who had gathered together just now were all dispersed in an instant.

Xia Wei then walked slowly to the palace.

He is still the same person, but unlike the sullen expression in the past, today he has a relaxed look and is humming a tune along the way.

When he arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, he asked to see Emperor Ming Cheng.

Emperor Ming Cheng was playing chess with Qin Chi. He held a chess piece and asked, “Why is he here?”

“Master Xia said that he has something to report.” The **** said with a flattering look.

Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty lost a son and said, “Let him come in.”

Soon.

Xia Wei came in under the leadership of the eunuch, and when he saw Qin Chi sitting with Emperor Ming Cheng, his thoughts started to change. Could it be that today’s donation was privately instructed by His Majesty?

If so, wouldn’t it be unnecessary for him to come?

Civil servants tend to think too much.

Obviously a simple thing, after their brains analyze it, there will be many twists and turns.

Emperor Mingcheng ignored him.

Qin Chi just wanted to stand up and salute Xia Wei.

Emperor Mingcheng said: “Ignore him, let’s finish this game first.”

“That’s right, it’s not an urgent matter. I’ll wait on the side.” Xia Wei thought about it and realized that this matter was indeed not urgent.

Then he stood aside and watched the chess game.

Qin Chi finally lost to Emperor Ming Cheng’s son without leaving any trace.

Emperor Mingcheng was happy, “Yes, Qi’an’s chess skills are superb, only slightly worse than mine.”

“What your Majesty said is absolutely true.”

Qin Chi wiped away the non-existent sweat, as if I tried my best but still lost.

Harmony between the king and his ministers is very, very good.

Xia Wei, who was a bystander, kept his eyes straight.

Emperor Ming Cheng took the ginseng tea handed to him by the palace maid and took a sip, “Xia Aiqing, tell me why you came to see me?”

“The Ministry of Household Affairs received a donation from His Majesty. I made a list and came here specifically to ask Your Majesty to read it.” Xia Wei took out the list of donations from Song Jin from his sleeve with a moved expression and handed it to Emperor Ming Cheng with both hands.

Emperor Mingcheng took it and took a look, and instantly narrowed his eyes.
