Chapter 267 Lots of Gold and Silver
"Dad, brother, are you okay?"
Tang Xijing patted his eldest daughter's hand and said, "Rou'er, don't worry. I guarantee that your brother is fine. You must take good care of yourself in the palace. If there is anything we can help you with, just ask. We will always be your strong support."
Tang Xici nodded, "Sister, you must take good care of yourself. We can't go to the harem, so you can only take care of yourself..."
Tang Xirou nodded, "Okay, okay, I'm fine, the emperor treats me very well."
Only then did the father and son feel relieved.
Madam Yun sighed. How come the personalities of the three children, all born to her daughter, are so different? Look at the eldest daughter, and then look at the second daughter. The difference is too big. One is gentle as water, and the other is like a monkey...
Yun Yi and Yun Ting looked at each other. They had wanted a sister like their eldest niece, but they didn't expect that she would have the personality of their second niece...
Now that their eldest niece is like this, they can't help but want to pity her and feel sorry for her.
"Rou'er, are you used to living in the palace?"
"Don't worry, uncle. Everything is fine."
So everyone started chatting, and only Tang Xiluo was seriously picking up the slices of meat. Each slice he ate was one less, so he had to eat more while they were chatting.
Xiaoyu learned the true skills from her sister, and the two of them buried their heads in the food. Baili Yu also ate the meat like crazy. Shen Jingbei would pick up some meat from time to time. After all, his face was not as thick as the other three.
Zhan Jingchen chatted with her casually, and did not forget to serve meat to the little girl.
Mr. Yun couldn't help but be curious, "So how did you manage to conquer the enemy country without spending a single soldier?"
Tang Xiluo still had a piece of meat in his mouth. He raised his head slowly, with a clear silliness in his eyes.
Everyone: "..."
It is really hard to imagine that this stupid and silly looking little girl can have such great abilities. If they didn’t know her, they would definitely not believe it if others told them about it.
Tang Xiluo blinked. Why were they all looking at him? What were they looking at him for?
"Eat! Everyone, hurry up and eat. The pot is boiling."
"..."
"..."
Tang Xijing sighed helplessly, then waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, it has nothing to do with you, just eat your food."
Tang Xiluo nodded and continued to eat hard.
Old Madam Yun was so heartbroken. Look how hungry the child was, as if he hadn't eaten meat for eight hundred years. She knew that conditions in the border areas were difficult. The child had lost a lot of weight. No wonder he wanted to eat a lot of meat when he came back. It was really unfair to her.
Old Madam Yun didn't know the inside story, so the more she watched, the more distressed she felt, and she also started to pick up food for her.
"Child, eat more."
Tang Xiluo nodded without hesitation, then obediently extended the bowl over, "Thank you, grandma."
Old Madam Yun smiled cheerfully. She really enjoyed feeding these children and felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. However, these children had grown up and it was not easy to pass food around for them anymore.
And they didn’t eat much, they were dying just looking at it, and those kids were picky eaters when they were young…
This little girl is so good now, she eats whatever you give her and is not picky about food and easy to raise! Where can you find such a good child?
Tang Xijing watched silently, it was difficult to expose them because there were so many people here.
Tang Xici also found it a little funny and had to admire his sister. Her appetite was always so good and her sleep was also so good. It seemed that in her eyes everything was a trivial matter and eating and sleeping were the most important things.
Everything becomes a trivial matter in front of her, except eating and sleeping, which she takes extremely seriously.
Zhan Jingxuan looked at Tang Xiluo, "Sister-in-law, how should I reward the relief hall?"
Beggars throughout the ages had never achieved such great achievements, so he had no one to refer to.
Since the relief hall was founded by the emperor's sister-in-law, we might as well ask her.
Tang Xiluo blinked, "Can I just say it straight?"
Zhan Jingxuan was stunned for a moment. How excessive is that? It shouldn't be too excessive, right?
"Ahem, sister-in-law, tell me what you want. As long as it's not too excessive, I can satisfy you."
Tang Xijing started coughing madly at this time, hoping that his daughter would not say anything too outrageous.
Everyone's eyes were on Tang Xiluo, to see what she wanted.
Tang Xiluo nodded in relief, "You're the one who told me to say this. I want gold, silver and jewelry, lots of them. If possible, I'll give them to a few shops, either in the Jiangnan area or in the capital."
"..."
"..."
"? ? ?"
"That's it?"
Everyone was still waiting for her to speak, but unexpectedly she shut up after she finished speaking. We waited for a long time but she didn't continue.
Tang Xiluo's eyes widened. "Isn't this enough?" The treasury was empty, and she felt that this was enough...
Tang Xijing held his forehead with his hands, this is really too pathetic! No wonder the relief hall said the same thing in the court at that time, it is exactly the same!
Zhan Jingxuan was also a little troubled. "Sister-in-law, you can actually ask for something more substantial, such as an official title..."
Tang Xiluo shook his head. "I'm not interested in these things. I just don't know if they are interested. If they are interested, I won't stop them. If they are not interested, I can't force them."
Zhan Jingxuan's mouth twitched, feeling helpless, "They just said the same thing as you said, they want gold, silver and jewelry..."
Who knew the girl nodded, "That's good! At least I have enough food and clothes to eat and wear."
The Marquis couldn't help but ask, "Can't you make plans for the long term? Gold, silver, and jewelry will eventually run out. Why don't you make plans for future generations?"
Tang Xiluo nodded seriously, "So I want some shops to run. It would be even better if I could have some land..."
Madam Yun was puzzled. "Are you planning to lead them into business?" Merchants have no status and are looked down upon by everyone...
Tang Xiluo spread his hands helplessly, "I can't do anything about it. They seem to be really interested in doing business."
Zhan Jingxuan glanced at Zhan Jingchen, and only agreed after getting his brother's nod, "Okay, I promise you, I will give those rewards to you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Baili Yu also raised his hand boldly at this moment, "Your Majesty, I want a reward too..."
The old marquis and his wife were shocked. How could they ask the emperor for a reward in person?! This brat is getting more and more lawless.
"Your Majesty, please calm down..."
Zhan Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "You have indeed made a contribution. Tell me, what do you want?"
