In the whole court, only Master Cao Ge dared to talk to Ye Siheng like this.

Everyone retreated to the side intentionally or unintentionally, trying to distance themselves from Master Cao Ge as far as possible to avoid harming the fish in the pond.

Even Emperor Mu Wu's face was not very good-looking, so he gave Master Cao Ge's wink.

Master Cao naturally turned his head too far and regarded it as invisible.

Although the Ninth Prince now knows what teleportation method is, he is fearless for the country and the people, and he is upright!

Ye Siheng chuckled, not caring about it, "Well, Master Cao even teaches a lesson for his elder brother. If you say a few words, you won't punish you."

Master Cao's expression was slightly slower and he followed the steps, "Thank you, the prince, but this is urgent to raise money to save disasters."

"Then Master Cao Ge will tell your students and let them work hard. After all, this snow disaster has caused many prefectures and counties in our country to be affected, and the money for the Kyoto merchants is not enough." Ye Siheng said.

Master Cao Ge didn't know the details of his students, so he said, "Your Majesty, don't be too hopeful. They don't have much family background, are honest and honest, and can't afford much money."

Ye Siheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes a little meaningful, "Mr. Cao just needs to say that this donation is what I mean. They can pay as much as they can. Don't hide it. If I want to do it myself, it will be a bad thing."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked different.

Mr. Cao Ge was furious again. Didn’t this mean that his students took bribes and embezzled a lot of money?!

He asked directly: "What does the prince mean?"

Ye Siheng leaned leisurely against the back of the chair, looking calm, and was too lazy to explain and argue with Mr. Cao, "It's getting late, so you can do whatever you should do, and don't waste time any more."

On weekdays, Master Cao must have argued with Ye Siheng, but the heavy snow outside had not stopped yet. He cared about the people and bowed to Emperor Muwu and said he retreated.

The coachman and servant were waiting at the palace gate.

There is less wind and snow now.

After returning to the mansion, Master Cao asked the servant to send a post, and then discussed donations with his wife.

It is said to be a discussion, but it is better to say to inform.

"Madam, let's take out all the 1,500 taels." said Cao Ge.

Mrs. Cao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Master, can you only give five hundred taels? You also know that my son is going to discuss a tribute, and I want to prepare a betrothal gift."

"No! I have already told the emperor and the ninth prince that I want to give 1,500 taels, how can I break my promise? If I can't take it out, I will lose all my face!" Master Cao Ge looked calm, "You can talk about the marriage between my son and the Su family again to see if I can lose it."

Mrs. Cao looked at him with a little silent face and said, "Master, my son likes the Su family. Then the Su family doesn't want much, just 800 taels of betrothal gifts and betrothal gifts. No matter how little is it, what do people think of my family? The Su family may not marry their daughter!"

Master Cao said, "Then I won't marry you. I thought I just gave your family a tribute to three liang. Now, I have become an important minister in the cabinet. You are well-known outside and proud in your parents' home. Madam, if you marry a wife and a virtuous family, the Su family will have so much 800 taels. His daughter is still a spoiled person and may not be able to become a good virtuous person."

Mrs. Cao just smiled faintly, but her smile was not in her eyes.

"What the master means is that you won't marry the Su family? No matter how much your son's marriage?"

"It's not that I don't care, but I will choose a better wife for him." Cao Ge Lao said, "The Su family is helpful to him, but he is a man and a real man, so how can he rely on the Yue family to manage his relationship? When others know about it, they will only say that my family is engaged in business and cling to the powerful."

He was honest all his life and could not stand this anger.

Mrs. Cao touched the corner of her mouth, "Eight hundred taels want to cling to the Su family? Master, you are so arrogant to our family! The Su family just saw that our son is noble and the girl is interested in him, so she was willing to agree to this marriage."

Master Cao Ge was unwilling to break up the couple, so he said, "Since that's the case, let the Su family reduce the gift. Now that the court and the people are in trouble, you can talk about it, they will definitely understand."

Mrs. Cao gave in: "Is it okay to give one thousand taels?"

"No, it's 1,500 taels to say 1,500 taels!" said Mr. Cao.

Mrs. Cao was already in a state of desolation.

The servant outside was already shouting, saying that Mr. Cao's students were almost here, and Mr. Cao was welcomed by the front hall.

"Madam, listen to me this time, and I will listen to you next time."

After Master Cao said that, he hurriedly left.

Mrs. Cao looked at the departure back with a blank expression: "Not even once, I listened to me."

Her family used to have more than ten acres of land, so she did some small business, not to mention being rich, but she didn’t have to worry about food and clothing.

His parents chose this husband for her and only received a three-liang ounce of entreaty, but he spent many years studying.

Yes, she became the wife of the imperial decree and was proud at her parents' home.

But in the world, there is a wife who is wearing patched clothes at home that can’t even afford the charcoal for heating.

Just because she didn't have a few decent clothes, she rarely attended banquets to avoid making people laugh.

Although she is in her early forties, she looks no different from an old woman in her fifties due to hard work and lack of maintenance...

She sat quietly in the house, and the cold air eroded herself.

I don’t know if my heart has already been cold, but she can’t feel the cold right now.

Soon, my son came over.

Mrs. Cao naturally dared not show anything in front of her son, and smiled as usual: "Bin'er, is it cold outside?"

She poured Cao Bin a glass of warm water.

No tea.

Because they want to save money, they don’t know how to drink tea at home except for guests on weekdays.

Mr. Cao Ge previously said that he likes to drink sweet soup, which is completely nonsense.

In fact, Chunyang tea is expensive. Master Cao Ge will not accept this gift, and he will not spend money to buy it himself.

"My mother, it's not cold outside." Cao Bin said, then reached out to pick up the cup and wanted to take a sip of the hot one.

Then Mrs. Cao saw the frostbite on his hand.

Cao Bin's expression changed slightly, and he quickly put down the cup and covered it with his sleeves.

But Mrs. Cao's eyes were red, and she grabbed his hand and looked at it, "What...what's going on? Why do you have so many frostbite..."

Cao Bin said: "My son just drew a few more paintings. It was too cold, so he developed frostbite. Don't worry, when spring begins, he will get better."

Mrs. Cao immediately understood that her son used paintings to sell money to subsidize the family because the family had little money and was reluctant to use charcoal.

"It's my mother who's sorry for you." Mrs. Cao muttered.

Cao Bin immediately shook his head: "Don't say that, I want to marry a wife. My mother keeps helping me with the help. I can earn some money and pay the betrothal gift, so that my father and mother don't have that hard work, and I'm happy."
