"I've known it for a long time." Liu Zhenzhen smiled bitterly, "Last year, her sister Li Hong was selected like this, and this year will be no exception."

Xia Qianqian was shocked and angry: "Is there still a king's law?"

"The Li family is the richest among us. We are poor and short-sighted, and we can't play with her." Liu Zhenzhen sighed, "However, it is a great honor to be elected to the town by the village, and I am satisfied."

"I'm not convinced!" Xia Qianqian raised the volume excitedly.

Liu Zhenzhen hurriedly said, "Keep your voice down, don't shout."

"Miss Liu, I was only going through the motions when I ran for the election. Later, when I heard that there was a silver reward, I became interested. If I lost the election because of my strength, I didn't care. But if I was squeezed out by others, I wouldn't accept it." Xia Qianqian waved Small fist, filled with righteous indignation.

She didn't go to the ancestors to open the back door, why did she lose the election like this?

While thinking about the countermeasures, Li Cui had already bribed the priest, and came back triumphantly. Liu Zhenzhen sighed helplessly again, and Xia Qianqian rolled her eyes, thinking about it, and shouted to the priest downstairs who was about to leave, "Priest, please stay."

The priest stopped: "What else?"

Xia Qianqian stood on the corridor on the second floor and said loudly, "Every winter sacrifice costs money. I just saw that the priest's robe is old. I would like to donate 12 taels in my own name to make the winter sacrifice more respectable! They are even happier!"

Everyone ate, including Li Cui. She only bribed two taels of silver, but Xia Qianqian had to donate 10 taels!

The priest was silent for a moment and asked, "Xia Qianqian, are you serious?"

"You must be serious!" Xia Qianqian ran downstairs and said sincerely, "Pingning Town suffered a famine in the first half of this year, and how many people suffered? I sincerely hope that the next year will be sheltered by my ancestors, and the weather will be good!"

After she finished speaking, she took out a silver ingot weighing two ingots and five taels from a mountain, and handed it over to the priest solemnly: "Please ask the priest to present it to Liezu Liezong on your behalf."

"Okay." The priest accepted it, his eyes were unfathomable.

Li Cui was so angry that her mouth was crooked, and she shouted loudly, "Xia Qianqian, you are breaking the rules. You really worked hard to be elected as a Jade Girl!"

"No! Miss Li has just seen you. I'm not trying to get elected, I'm doing it for our town of Pingning. Only when the weather is good, we won't be hungry." Xia Qianqian held her head high, and said confidently, "Furthermore, I am donating money in public. It shows sincerity. Unlike some people who are sneaky."

Li Cui's eyes changed instantly: Xia Qianqian knew that she had bribed the priest? !

"The girl is proud!"

At this moment, a young woman's voice came from outside the door, gentle and calm with her own style.

Everyone looked for the sound, and saw a gorgeously dressed and extravagant young lady walking into the inn with two maids. She has dark skin, a dignified face, and a calm temperament. It was Han Yuqing.

"Little girl Han Yuqing, you're late." Han Yuqing owed the priest, but she was neither humble nor arrogant.

The priest's expression changed slightly, and he said politely, "Miss Han."

"I don't know if the priest is going to be assessed tonight, Yuqing is late, but it's still too late?" Han Yuqing smiled gently.

All the girls were silent, and Li Cui was so angry that she clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hands: "The Han family has gone out, so what else is going on with them?" All are foils! Her 2 taels of silver are a waste.

However, Li Cui laughed again when she thought of the 12 taels that Xia Qianqian had just spent. Twelve taels of silver are not enough for the Han family to have a meal, Xia Qianqian's iron kick is even more solid!
