Chapter 1523 - Fundraising (2)
Wu Yi'an is principled, but she is not a stubborn person. Under Qingshu's repeated persuasion, she finally listened to Qingshu's advice. However, she also has her own insistence.
Yi An said: "If you say to the outside world that the family will prepare a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver for me, I am afraid that it will be criticized." In this way, I will donate 50,000 taels of silver, and I will pay you back when I raise the money. ”
Qing Shu knew her temperament and didn't say that she didn't need to say such things, but just smiled and said, "Okay." If you donate 50,000 taels, then I will also donate 50,000 taels of silver. ”
Yi An is only a quasi-queen and not a queen, so there is no such thing as stealing her limelight.
Wu Yi'an said: "I hope that after I set an example with you, those so-called high-ranking families can donate a few thousand taels of silver each!" ”
Qingshu said with a smile: "With your Gao Feng Liang Festival in front, they don't look good in front of the emperor if they want to donate less!" And not only to call on those wealthy nobles and eunuchs to donate money, but also those big merchants. ”
Wu Yi'an nodded and said, "I'll come up with a specific charter." ”
Qingshu said with some regret: "It's a pity that I'm doing confinement, otherwise I would be able to handle this matter with me." Ahem, that's a coincidence. ”
"Have a good confinement, don't think about what you have or don't have."
After chatting for a while, Yi An went back to the eldest princess to discuss this matter.
Yi An and the eldest princess said: "Eldest princess, I hope that through this incident, the soldiers in front of us will know that we have always been concerned about their safety, so that they will feel worthwhile even if they shed blood and sacrifice." ”
The eldest princess has always been a person who understands righteousness, and when she heard this, she said, "It's naturally good that you have this idea." It's hard to hold a banquet when your family is empty now, and this fundraising banquet will be held in my house. Xiao Yu is fine, let her help you. ”
After talking to the eldest princess, Yi An went to Feng Xiaoyu to talk about it.
After the three ceremonies, Qingshu asked Feng Xiaoyu to move back to the princess's mansion. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was going to Changzhou, and Qingshu felt that she should accompany the eldest princess and her parents more at home.
Giving birth to a woman is a difficult hurdle, and confinement only needs to be taken care of by the people around her. Therefore, Feng Xiaoyu moved back to the princess's mansion.
Feng Xiaoyu knew that this was a good deed, so she responded without saying a word.
Yi An said: "You also know that I haven't held a banquet, and I want you to help with this." ”
This aspect is what Feng Xiaoyu is best at, she said with a smile: "You leave this matter to me, and I will ensure that it will be arranged properly." By the way, if you want to call on everyone to raise donations, you must donate a lot. Yi'an, how much are you going to donate? ”
"Fifty thousand taels of silver."
Feng Xiaoyu's mouth opened as big as an egg, and then asked, "Where did you get so much money?" ”
Yi An said with a smile: "I'll raise some of it first, and the little Qingshu promised to lend it to me." And Qingshu said that she also donated 50,000 taels of silver. ”
Feng Xiaoyu wailed and said, "You all donate 50,000 taels, so what should I do?" I don't have that much money. ”
"You can donate as much as you want, this is voluntary."
Feng Xiaoyu said angrily: "Both of you donate 50,000 taels, if I donate 2 or 3,000 taels, where will I put this face?" When the time comes, those people who go out may not be able to laugh at me behind my back! ”
Yi An couldn't help but feel moved when he thought about Qingshu's words, and asked, "Then how much are you going to donate?" ”
Feng Xiaoyu glanced at Yi An hatefully and said, "You don't think about fifty thousand taels of silver." But for your sake, I'll donate 10,000 taels of silver!" ”
Seeing that Yi An looked at her and didn't speak, Feng Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and said, "Twenty thousand taels, no more." ”
After saying that, she regretted it a little.
Wu Yi'an looked at her heartache and looked like she was about to faint, and couldn't help laughing: "If you are reluctant, then 10,000 taels!" ”
In fact, 10,000 taels of silver is a lot.
Feng Xiaoyu wanted to say yes, but in the end he didn't answer: "If I don't support the field for you, those people are even more reluctant to pay for it." ”
After speaking, Feng Xiaoyu said with red eyes: "Why did I make you two bad friends!" Twenty thousand taels of silver, how many beautiful clothes and jewelry can I buy! ”
Wu Yi'an smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will make it up to you in the future." ”
"Really?"
"It's more real than gold."
After getting Yi'an's promise, Feng Xiaoyu felt a little better: "I'll give you the silver ticket later." ”
"No, you can just take it out when the donation comes."
Feng Xiaoyu said angrily: "Just take it for you, otherwise I'm afraid that I won't be able to bear to take the two children to Changzhou tomorrow morning." ”
Wu Yi'an laughed and said, "You can't do it in this realm!" Qingshu also said that he would donate the accommodation fees of the Meihu family and the money from the sale of the house, but he was afraid that he would steal my limelight, so he changed it to 50,000 taels of silver. ”
Feng Xiaoyu was so angry that he scolded: "You conscienceless, I have put so much blood, and you still haven't said a good word." Forget it, I won't donate this money. ”
Yi An was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "If you say it, you can't take it back." As for the money, hurry up and get it. ”
After handing over the 20,000 taels of silver tickets to Wu Yi'an, Feng Xiaoyu drove people away: "Go, go, go, hurry up, don't stay here to get in my way." ”
took the silver ticket, Yi An put away the smile on his face: "Xiao Yu, thank you." ”
Looking at her serious and Yang Zi, Feng Xiaoyu was still a little unaccustomed: "What are you doing so politely?" I didn't do anything either. ”
"It's enough to have this heart." Yi An said: "As long as we twist into a rope, no matter how powerful the iron hooves of the golden people are, they will not be able to step into Tongcheng for half a step." ”
Feng Xiaoyu nodded heavily.
Feng Xiaoyu was busy with fundraising, so she didn't have time to visit Qingshu. And without her company, Qingshu felt a little lonely.
Listening to the bellflower read the book for two quarters of an hour, Qingshu waved his hand and said, "Don't read it, you go down!" ”
"Yes, ma'am."
Qingshu got out of bed and went to the window, looked in the direction of Jiangnan and said, "I don't know how Jingene is doing now?" Did the errand go well? ”
Honggu smiled and said, "It must be smooth." And the slave believes that when the master knows that he has a girl, he will definitely want to fly back. ”
She used to think that it was better to have more children and grandchildren, like many people, and she couldn't understand why Qingshu and Fu Jingene didn't want to have more children. can see how Fu Jingene and Qingshu taught Fu Ge'er, and she knew that it takes so much energy and time to cultivate a child to become a talent. It takes four or five births to teach me, so now my mind has changed.
Qingshu said with a smile: "If the errand is not finished, he will not be able to come back if he wants to." ”
Speaking of this, Qingshu sighed a little: "Everyone said that this fetus was a son, and the reaction when I was pregnant was the same as that of Brother Huaifu, so that I felt that it was a son." ”
Honggu smiled and said, "This is also your blessing, Mrs. Now that you have children and daughters, I don't know how many people outside envy you! ”
Qing Shu said disapprerovingly: "There are so many children and daughters, what is there to envy." ”
Although Huan Xi and Xiao Yu are now two sons, they are still young and can always give birth to girls. Of course, Xiao Yu has a greater probability of having a daughter. There is no way for the Wu family to be prosperous and yin, and it is difficult to have a girl when you always have a son.
Honggu said: "Mrs. Hu is very envious! ”
Qingshu's heart moved, but her face was not obvious: "When she married Hu Daguanren, she should have known that Hu Daguanren had a physical problem, and now she has no children, and she can't blame anyone." ”
Honggu nodded and said, "Mrs. said very well. ”
