Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

Wen Changsheng thought what Wen Xingchen said was feasible.

But it is not easy to admit it directly.

"You are a woman, it is not appropriate for you to show your face in public."

Seeing that he had given in, Wen Xingchen said, "My daughter doesn't need to personally take the lead in this matter. Someone else will naturally take care of it."

The most replay of Changsheng is that he lets the person go.

Wen Xingchen went to the hall again, but there were only a lot of onlookers and no real buyers.

Moreover, the imperial gifts are priceless. How can anyone buy them unless they have the financial resources?

Chen Jingting came to the guild hall once, but did not see Wen Xingchen.

He approved of the princess's behavior. As members of the royal family, they must bear the brunt of the disaster.

Moreover, she is the daughter of the Princess Protector of the Nation, so naturally she is dedicated to serving the people, which makes her story convincing.

But since it involves money, how could they really be willing to buy it unless there are tangible benefits?

Afterwards, Chen Jingting went to find his good friend Qiu Yilin, hoping that he could help him convey a message to all the major merchants: as long as they can pay to buy the princess's jewelry, if anything happens to the family in the future, as long as it is not a criminal matter, he, Chen Jingting, will definitely help.

As soon as these words were spoken, even Qiu Yilin felt that the matter was serious.

Not to mention that the princess's belongings are worth a fortune, and they are used by the royal family, so every major merchant would want to own them.

It can also be passed down to future generations as a family heirloom.

Now with the Chen family’s promise, the scramble for it will go crazy.

"Brother, can I participate?"

"..."

西家

Xiling'er heard that the princess was auctioning items to raise funds for disaster relief.

She was disdainful from the beginning, thinking she was just trying to attract attention.

"Miss, the princess is shameless for selling her personal belongings on the street. If someone takes advantage of her, she'll be finished."

When this was mentioned, Xi Ling'er said, "Go, find someone you don't know to go to the auction and buy an item for emergency use."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Not only Xiling'er, but also many noble ladies.

Their opinion of the princess had changed slightly, but it was the first time for them to auction items.

They didn't believe that the princess would auction off all her jewelry, so they all took a wait-and-see attitude.

In addition, the students who come to the capital are also paying close attention to these matters.

"Princess Xingchen is righteous and awe-inspiring. She is truly a role model for noble ladies."

"Yes, among the royal children, who is as kind as the princess? Not only is she knowledgeable and talented, but she also has a kind and righteous heart to help those in need."

"Hey, it's just grandstanding. That's real money. Who can be sure she really wants to auction it off?"

"We'll know tomorrow whether it will be auctioned or not."

"I guess she should auction off three or four pieces to make it look good."

"I guess so..."

Wu Shidao frowned as he listened to the students' discussions.

But he did not argue with them, but joined forces with other students to help.

He believed that anyone who could speak such profound truths would definitely not be hypocritical.

Three days later, thanks to the efforts of Chen Jingting and his students, quite a few people gathered in the teahouse.

So many that it was beyond Wen Xingchen's expectations.

Because there were too many people participating, Wen Xingchen decided to verify their capital first, and only those with a strong financial background would be allowed to enter the guild hall.

Wen Xingchen was on the second floor and saw that outside the guild hall, in addition to Chen Jingting, there were also students maintaining order.

The guild hall auction went smoothly, and all the items sold by Wen Xingchen were auctioned off at the best price.

The last item was a crown specially made for the princess. Wen Xingchen didn’t dare to sell it directly, nor did he dare to buy it directly.

The maids advised the princess to keep the thing. After all, it was the only one left. What if the emperor blamed her?

Wen Xingchen looked at the total amount of silver and found it was only 200,000 taels, which was far from enough.

She knew too well the severity of the floods in Jiangnan.

Disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction both require money.

Wen Xingchen finally decided to take off the jewels from the crown and sell them.

I really didn't leave anything behind.

If all were sold, the total amount would only be 250,000 taels of silver, including items donated by various merchants.

Yingying looked at the banknotes and said, "I have never seen so much silver before."

Wen Xingchen shook his head and said, "It's not enough."

not enough?

Yingying didn't know how much disaster relief would cost, she only knew that it was a lot.

However, the county's actions immediately dispelled the doubts of those who had been skeptical of the county magistrate.

They all admired the princess's kindness and righteousness.

"Who in this world could cleanse herself of all her jewels and jade to provide disaster relief? Only the princess herself."

"I'm ashamed that I suspected the princess was being hypocritical. If the princess ever needs me, I will definitely go through fire and water for her."

"Go away. That's the princess. What could she possibly need your help with?"

"I'm just saying, I never thought that the former dandy princess could be so righteous."

“…“””

However, just when Wen Xingchen was worrying about what to do next, Cheng Yan came.

"Princess, I want to contribute to your charity." She took out her jewelry box and asked someone to display it in the guild hall. "I can't compare with yours, but this is my sincere intention."

To be honest, Wen Xingchen was a little touched.

And she looked at Cheng Yan, her eyes turned, and she had a new idea.

She smiled and said:

"Okay. Don't worry, I will definitely inform His Majesty of your kindness."

"That's not necessary. I don't want to..."

"Yes, yes. Come, Yingying, write down how much the things Miss Cheng donated can be sold for."

"Yes, I will remember this."

Cheng Yan felt a little embarrassed. She went out and told this to several friends.

One of them asked in surprise:

"Did the princess really write it down?"

"Really? Not only that, I saw she even wrote down who auctioned what on her list. It was very detailed."

When her friends heard this, they became restless.

"Sister Cheng Yan, why didn't you tell us about your donation? Let us share some of your support."

"What should I do about this money..."

"Oh, sister Dayi, we are your friends. We can only play together if we share the same ideals. Your thoughts about the people are also our thoughts. I won't say anything more to you. I'm going home to prepare things now."

Cheng Yan reminded: "Then you have to go back quickly. The princess said that whoever donates the most will have his name written on the top."

On top?

Aren’t you the first one to be seen by the emperor?

This news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and it spread quickly.

......

Miyazato

When the emperor was discussing with his court officials how to raise funds, Princess Furun suggested donating money and asked the officials to donate, but Xicheng directly refuted her by crying poor.

This sentence made Furun lose his temper. However, Furun did not argue, but waited for an opportunity.

At this moment, Eunuch Hu said that Uncle Xiao had something important to report.

When the emperor saw Xiao Bo, he frowned.

"I'm very busy, tell him not to bother me if he has nothing to do."

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Wu has something important to report. It's said to be regarding the disaster relief funds."

"Let him in."
