Almost as soon as Feng Xi finished speaking, there were several bursts of laughter from the high platform.
Especially Li Ge Lao and Liu Wanshi, these two old guys simply don't even cover up.
Peng Huan glared at the two of them angrily, then smiled awkwardly at Feng Xi and said:
"Princess, what you said is wrong. The Sa family is the eunuch who is responsible for the rituals and eunuch Bingbi. He often serves the emperor to review memorials and handle government affairs. His talents are obvious to all..."
"I see."
Feng Xi handed the fox fur to Qi Xiao beside her, and her tone was quite awkward:
"But Mr. Li Ge and Mr. Liu have their own servants to spread paper and grind ink, so they don't need you to hold pens next to them..."
Peng Huan: "?"
"I'm not talking about you. You are a father-in-law after all. Why are you rushing to serve others? If I were you, wouldn't it be nice to lie down in the garden every day?"
Peng Huan: "..."
Who the hell wants to wait on someone!
If he wanted to lie down in Mingyuan every day, he would give him a damn silver fox fur!
Thinking about the manpower and material resources he spent on buying the fox fur, Peng Huan finally suppressed the rage in his heart, tried his best to lick his face and said:
"Princess, let's not look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face. Let's not mention that the Sa family is an imperial minister sent by the imperial court. Let's talk about this fine silver fox fur..."
"What happened to the silver fox fur?"
Feng Xi couldn't help but Peng Huan finally couldn't help but said:
"Princess, you have collected all your things, so you can't say nothing at all, right?"
It is said that the officialdom is like a battlefield, asking for gifts and doing things with gifts. Even the prince and the fourth prince are aware of this rule.
If this idiot takes the things and does nothing, I am afraid that a large number of people in the court will soon be unable to tolerate her.
Not only Peng Huan knew this rule, but Li Ge Lao and others were no exception.
Therefore, they looked at the silver fox fur as if they were looking at a hot potato, wishing that their princess would just give it back.
However, there is no reason for Feng Xi to return what he has obtained.
Not only did she not return it, she even asked Peng Huan with a smile:
"Is this something that I want to collect? It's obviously Eunuch Peng who cares about the country and the people. Seeing the government's difficulties, he insists on donating it to the entire disaster area."
Peng Huan: "?"
When did he say that he would donate to disaster areas!
"Yes, Eunuch Peng is very righteous. This prince-in-law heard these words clearly."
Qi Xiao helped Feng Xi hold Hu Qiu, and gained a new understanding of the little Phoenix's blackmail methods.
It happened that others would blush when they blackmailed others, but she looked upright and showed no guilt at all.
Maybe having a big heart can be a benefit sometimes...
"Eunuch Peng is so upright and upright that he supports our work with such expensive things. I admire you, I admire you!"
"Elder Ge is right, we should all learn from Eunuch Peng and regard these gold and silver treasures as dirt!"
"On behalf of all the people in the North, we would like to thank Eunuch Peng for his great kindness!"
…
As Mr. Li Ge and others bowed their heads one by one and uttered words of gratitude, Peng Huan's already bad face turned darker and darker.
This silver fox fur was something he found with great difficulty after searching all over Dazhao, hoping to use it to curry favor with noble people.
If it weren't for Feng Xi's lack of oil and salt, Li Ge Lao and others being like a piece of iron, and Shi Songgao finally finding Ye Qingchuan to do it carefully, he would never have taken it out!
It was originally given to Feng Xi, but it was put into the official treasury with a few words from her. Now it's better. He doesn't even have a place to cry...
But the officials in the North behind him were all cowards, and none of them could even talk to Feng Xi. Even if he wanted to argue, he couldn't.
how?
Frankly speaking, he just wanted to bribe the princess, which was not righteous at all, and he didn't want to care about those untouchables?
As long as he dares to say something, he doesn't need to be fanned by Mr. Li Ge and others. The saliva of the untouchables below can drown him.
In desperation, Peng Huan had no choice but to nod his head and said to the refugees from the North below:
"There's not much the Sa family can do, and this little thing can be donated to the official treasury. I hope it can help you."
After all the blood has been shed, you have to get some benefits back, right?
However, his heart was still dripping with blood, but he heard an ignorant pariah below say:
"What is this? A fox fur cloak? Tsk, it's such a big piece of skin, it can't even cover me and my wife! I must be stupid to exchange my work points for this!"
"That's right, no matter how good the fur is, what's the use? It can still feed us! As expected, the people who use small spoons for porridge are not very generous!"
"Okay, okay, just stop saying a few words. The superiors won't force us to change anyway, right?"
…
At this moment, Peng Huan felt like vomiting blood.
However, Feng Xi touched the white fox fur again, and then like a magic trick, she took out a thousand-tael silver note and handed it to Mr. Li Ge in front of all the people:
"Hey, since everyone thinks this fox fur is useless, then I will reluctantly accept it. As for the thousand taels that have been added to the official treasury, it is up to you, Mr. Ge, to make reasonable arrangements and appropriately reduce the exchange points for everything. , give the people some benefits."
As soon as Feng Xi said these words, the people below immediately became excited.
That's right, in the eyes of the people in the North, even if the silver fox fur is not exchanged for a thousand dollars, it is not as good as the rice they get and the furniture they move back to their homes.
Only rich people can have luxury, but all they want is food and clothing.
Therefore, the reduction in work points brought by a thousand taels of silver is simply their best New Year gift!
It means that those who cannot do heavy work and cannot get too many work points can have enough to eat, and it means that those with rich work points can exchange for more usable things.
All in all, the princess's extremely sincere behavior of giving money instantly defeated Peng Huan's nihilism and once again won the cheers of all the people.
In response, Feng Xi covered her ears and said without any intention of taking credit:
"I don't want to do anything for you. I just like this fox fur, so I just want to get the moon first."
However, few people present listened to her sincere words.
Some of them even think that the princess is too upright, and is not willing to say anything good to them, which is completely different from those officials who have to publicize the little things they do.
Besides, as long as the princess is willing to spend money to bring them benefits, they are willing to thank each other.
Whether they have ulterior motives or are overly honest, the benefits are all theirs anyway!
Feng Xi didn't know what these people were thinking. She just raised her hand to stop Qi Xiao from putting on the fox fur for her, with a look of hatred on her face:
"No, with my iron-clad body, do you think I need to wear a thick fox fur?"
Qi Xiao: "?"
What do you want to do if you don't want to wear clothes?
Seemingly seeing the doubt in Qi Xiao's eyes, Feng Xi immediately raised her eyebrows and said:
"I'm rich and willful, so why don't you just like to spend money? How about it? Are you angry? I'll give you the knife. It's not too late for you to kill me now!"
Qi Xiao: "..."
At this moment, Peng Huan didn't know whether Qi Xiao had murderous intentions, but he was definitely interested in Feng Xi.
