Chapter 469: Donations
It was evening when the big ship arrived at the pier, and the group stayed at the inn next to the pier.
In the middle of the night, Qingshu woke up from a nightmare and stared blankly outside.
Wu Yi'an was awakened, looked at her like this, grabbed her arm and asked, "Qingshu, what nightmare are you doing?" ”
Qingshu came back to his senses in pain: "I dreamed that An An became sensitive and had low self-esteem, and after getting married, she died of depression due to unsatisfactory life. Yi'an, you're right, I shouldn't have left An An in Fuzhou without worrying about my grandmother. ”
Grandma always indulged her mother, and it was difficult to guarantee that she would not wronged An An for her mother, so she still took An An to her side and rest assured.
"Well, as long as you pick her up, she'll definitely be fine in the future."
Qing Shu was a little surprised: "Why are you so sure?" ”
Wu Yi'an said with a smile: "With us taking care of it, can An An still be good?" ”
Qingshu is really glad that he stayed in Class 6, otherwise he would not be able to make friends like Yi'an and Xiaoyu.
In the carriage, Wu Yi'an asked, "Didn't you say that you wanted to take An An to the capital?" Why don't you write to Grandma Gu? ”
"When I find a private school for An An, I will write a letter, and my grandmother will not let me go if I don't prepare anything."
Wu Yi'an felt that Qingshu was very thoughtful.
Three days later, when he returned to the capital, Wu Yi'an, who stood outside the city gate, sighed: "After leaving for more than four months, it feels as if I have been away for many years. ”
Qingshu Waner.
After entering the city, Yi'an said goodbye to Qingshu and rushed home in a hurry. I've been away from home for so long, and I've missed my family too.
Qingshu was about to have lunch after taking a hot bath, when he heard the next person reply that Feng Xiaoyu and Zhu Huanxi were here.
Feng Xiaoyu saw Qingshu and said, "Qingshu, why did you lose weight like this?" ”
"Didn't you receive my letter?"
When she left Pingzhou, she wrote a letter to Feng Xiaoyu and Zhu Xi.
Seeing Feng Xiaoyu shaking his head, Qingshu said: "Maybe it's because of the disaster, the letter is not as fast as before." ”
Zhu Huanxi frowned and said, "Qingshu, I wrote to ask you to hurry back to Beijing, why didn't you listen?" Do you know how worried we are about you and Yi'an? ”
"My grandmother insisted on staying in Pingzhou, and I didn't worry that she had to stay."
Feng Xiaoyu asked, "I heard that your grandmother donated all the family property, is this true?" ”
Qingshu corrected: "My family donated 180,000 stone of grain and a warehouse of medicinal materials. ”
During the disaster, donating silver and donating food and medicinal herbs are completely different concepts.
Stunned for a moment, Feng Xiaoyu asked, "How much is 180,000 stone grain and a warehouse of medicinal materials?" ”
Zhu Huanxi said: "One stone of grain is 120 catties, and 180,000 stone of grain is more than 20 million catties." According to the calculation of 251 catties of rice in the capital, it is more than 500,000 taels of silver. ”
"As for the medicinal materials, it is not easy to calculate, the prices of different medicinal materials are different."
Gongsun Yingxue shook her head and said: "It can't be calculated by the grain price in the capital, but by the grain price in the south of the Yangtze River." Qingshu, how much is the price of food in Pingzhou after the disaster? ”
Qingshu felt that she was worthy of being the girl who was the chief housekeeper of the Internal Affairs Office, and she was very sensitive to this price change: "After the disaster, the rice in Pingzhou costs two taels and one catty. ”
Except for Gongsun Yingxue, everyone else was dumbfounded: "Two taels of silver and a pound of rice, how is this possible?" ”
Affected by the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, prices in the capital have also risen. Even if the government curtails it, the grain price has more than doubled. However, compared with Jiangnan, the increase is not large.
Qingshu shook his head and said: "Grain merchants have grain to hoard and not sell it, and the common people have to stock up on grain. The price of this grain is getting higher and higher, but when the sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous grains in the ground are harvested, the price of grain will fall. ”
If the price of rice is to fall to the pre-flood level, it will have to wait until next year. Of course, the premise is to have a good harvest.
Feng Xiaoyu opened her mouth and said, "In this case, wouldn't Grandma Gu donate tens of millions of silver to the government." ”
"My grandmother said that saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and so many people's lives cannot be measured by money."
Zhu Huanxi exclaimed: "Grandma Gu's high style and brightness are better than those famous ladies of meritorious families, I don't know how many times." ”
There's something in that!
Feng Xiaoyu explained to Qingshu: "After the flood in Jiangnan, the imperial court called on everyone to donate, and as a result, the officials and those merchants also donated more than 162,700 taels of silver. ”
Speaking of this, Feng Xiaoyu said: "Qingshu, I donated the money you won." ”
Qingshu knew that Lu Zizhong was the champion of today's department, and the bet of the day must have won: "How many times has it been doubled?" ”
Feng Xiaoyu laughed: "It's increased fifteen times, and I've never earned so much silver when I'm so big." Qingshu, you are so lucky, if we go to the gambling house to play a few games one day, we will definitely make a lot of money. ”
Qing Shu dispelled her thoughts with just one sentence: "If you want to go to gambling and are caught in the school, we have to roll up and leave." ”
The four of them came over without eating, so they ate lunch with Qingshu.
After eating, Qingshu said to everyone: "I brought a lot of seafood, and you will come to get it after school." ”
Xia Lan chuckled and said, "I'm so embarrassed to even eat and take!" ”
Feng Xiaoyu teased: "If you are embarrassed, give me your share!" ”
Xia Lan didn't want to!
After chatting for a while, Zhu Hanxi said, "Qingshu, we're going back to school, let's talk later." ”
"Then you wait, I'll change my clothes."
Feng Xiaoyu sighed: "You won't still have to take classes with us, will you?" ”
Seeing Qingshu looking at her, Feng Xiaoyu explained: "I mean you fell behind in such a class, and you can't understand what the teacher says when you go to class!" Qingshu, let's wait a few days to make up for the missing classes! ”
Qingshu smiled and said, "I have self-study, and I have finished all the courses this semester." ”
Feng Xiaoyu screamed twice, and said with a sad and angry face: "It seems that I have to make up classes again during the winter vacation, Qingshu, why am I in the same class as you!" ”
Don't be too sadistic.
Qingshu comforted her and said: "I don't know anything about reading books by myself, and I only want to pass this final exam." ”
Writing and miscellaneous learning are easy things in these two courses, just write more, read more and memorize more, but you can't learn it. Qingshu plans to let Zhu Huanxi focus on tutoring her in arithmetic during this time.
Lan Wan immediately went to class when she heard that Qingshu was back, and was relieved when she saw her: "It's good that it's safe and sound." ”
Although the eldest princess said that Qingshu was safe and sound, she was always worried when she didn't see anyone.
Qingshu's heart was warm, and he bowed to Lan Wan and said, "Sir, thank you." ”
A smile appeared on Lan Wan's face: "You and Wu Yi'an missed class, and Mr. Yang and I will make up for it for you at noon." ”
Qingshu was very grateful for Lan Wan's kindness: "No need, sir, you have worked hard to take so many classes, so it's not good to delay your rest any longer." She has promised that she will tutor me during this time, and if you don't understand, I'll ask you again. ”
Lan Wan nodded and said, "It's okay." If you don't understand something, you can always ask us. ”
