Chapter 1522 - Fundraising (1)
Tan Jingye failed to enter the Hanlin Academy because of the ranking comparison, but went to the Taifu Temple to serve as the chief bookkeeper, from the official position of Qipin.
Qingluan felt that Taifu Temple was not good, and said: "It's a pity that my brother-in-law went to Jiangnan, otherwise you can go to the household department." ”
Among all the yamen, the official department is the best, followed by the household department, and of course, the metropolitan procuratorate and the six departments also listen well.
Tan Jingye said with a smile: "Taifu Temple is also very good. ”
Qingluan was not satisfied and said, "What's good? Just take care of some horses and carts. ”
Tan Jingye explained: "Now that the imperial court is using soldiers, this horse and cart are important military materials, and now the shortage of Taifu Temple is also very popular. ”
Even if this yamen is good now, it will cool down again after the battle. But I have already gone in, so I can only do it first, and then find a way to go to a good yamen later.
Two days later, she went to see Qingshu again.
Qingshu leaned against the head of the bed, saw her and said with a smile: "If you don't come, I will send someone to call you over." The third uncle wrote to say that our big house and the three parties were separated from the Lin family. ”
"Separated, what do you mean?"
"It's dividing."
Qingluan froze.
Not to mention An An about this, even Qingshu was very surprised when he saw it. She didn't expect Lin Chengzhi to still have the courage to break off relations with the Lin clan.
Qingluan came back to his senses and said, "Why does the good third uncle want to divide the sect? ”
Qingshu explained: "My father has been an official for many years, and the clan has relied on my father's power to bully several villages next to him. Now that my father has committed a crime and is in exile, these villages are forcing the Lin clan to return the benefits they had taken before. In addition, I didn't send any more money back, so the clansmen were full of resentment. And they vented this resentment on the second and third rooms. ”
I see, Qingluan frowned and said, "But with such a big matter as the division of the sect, how can the third uncle make a decision without consulting his father!" ”
Qingshu smiled and said, "Dad is in exile, how to discuss." And the clansmen are short-sighted, so it's good to divide them. ”
Seeing that Qingluan still had something to say, Qingshu said: "Divide the sect into sects, and it has little to do with us." ”
The two of them are married girls, and the division of the family does not affect them. So, she didn't want to ask more.
Qingluan nodded and said, "Eldest sister, I heard that you have found a buyer for this house?" Is it true? ”
"Well, a verbal agreement has been reached with the buyer that I will move out after I am out of confinement."
Qingluan said: "Sister, are you really going to sell the house?" ”
Seeing Qingshu nodding, An An said uncomfortably: "But at the beginning, we agreed to live in Goldfish Hutong together, so that we can take care of one or two things." ”
"The house was given by the emperor, and we can't live in it. And the price offered by the other party is enough for me to buy more than a dozen of these houses, so why not sell them? ”
Qingluan opened her mouth, and said after a long time: "Sister, but you are most afraid of heat!" Next month is the hottest time, how can you stand it when you move to Xijiao Hutong. ”
Qingshu smiled and said, "I'm going to sit for two months." It was the end of August after the confinement period, and the weather was getting cooler. Besides, didn't Jingye say that after he finished the exam, you would move into the Moss Girls' School? ”
Qingluan said a little sullenly: "Yes, he said that he would move there after the school starts, and now he has ordered someone to clean up." ”
Qingshu nodded.
Qingluan hesitated and said, "Sister, I don't want to move over there to live, it's too young to live and uncomfortable." ”
Qingshu smiled and said, "You can discuss this matter with Jingye, you don't need to talk to me." ”
Qingluan opened her mouth and finally didn't say anything.
After a conversation, Qingluan went back.
Looking at her back, she sighed, but she quickly diverted her attention when she heard her daughter's humming.
Two days later, Yi An came.
Seeing that her face was a little solemn, Qingshu's heart was raised: "Is the war ahead going badly?" ”
Yi An nodded and said, "We fought them three times and lost twice. Their offensive is too fierce, and we can't fight head-on at all, so we can only defend passively. ”
Only by taking the initiative can the war end as soon as possible, but now this situation can only be defended by natural danger. Fortunately, they had made sufficient preparations beforehand, otherwise it would have been really dangerous.
After finishing speaking, Yi An said apologetically: "Qingshu, I'm sorry!" You're in confinement, and I shouldn't have told you these troubles. ”
Qingshu shook his head and said, "It's okay, did you come here for something this time?" ”
Yi An really had something to discuss with Qingshu: "Didn't you tell me before that you wanted to call on everyone to donate, do you have any regulations in mind?" ”
Qingshu shook his head and said, "No." I haven't done this before, and I wanted to contribute to the soldiers of the border city. But you can ask the eldest princess about this, I think she should have experience. ”
"If the eldest princess is allowed to come forward, then the movement will be big."
Qingshu looked at her and said, "You are the future queen, and it will not be trivial for you to take the lead in this matter." And you're now a prospective queen, and you can benefit from it if you do it. ”
Wu Yi'an didn't refuse, but said with a bitter face: "It's okay for me to take the lead, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." Don't look at so many wealthy families in the capital, they seem to be very rich. But in fact, these people are going to die when they pick the door, and making them pay for it is like asking them to die.
Qingshu said with a smile: "It's not difficult to say this, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
"What's your idea? Tell me about it. ”
Qingshu said with a smile: "Those wealthy dignitaries are all good-looking. If you donate 100,000 yuan, they will not be able to get by if they want to donate 3,500 taels. ”
Wu Yi'an laughed: "I want to donate 100,000 yuan, but where does the money come from?" The dowry that my family prepared for me was only twenty or thirty thousand taels. ”
"You don't, I do!"
Wu Yi'an shook his head when he heard this, and said, "No, how can I donate your money, then what have I become." ”
"Listen to me first. I have already made an appointment with Hu Daguan for this house, and I will sell him this house for 100,000 taels of silver, and I will make room for him after the Mid-Autumn Festival. You also know that my house was originally bought for more than 3,000 taels of silver. A hundred years of good wine from a wine cellar has made a lot of money. ”
Yi An knew the price of buying the house at the beginning, and she said: "That's also your ability, and others can't sell it at such a high price if they want to." ”
Qingshu smiled and said, "This money is not for you to spend, but to use it to lure others to donate more hungry money." If you don't want to go, then I will borrow it from you, and it will be deducted from your dividends in the future. ”
Without waiting for Yi An to speak, Qing Shu said: "The money from the sale of the house, plus the accommodation expenses of the Mei family and the Hu family, I am ready to donate." ”
Yi An said with a smile: "You are really willing to donate such a large amount of money." ”
If it's her, you have to think about it or two.
"According to Xiao Yu, this money was picked up. I didn't have to make any effort, so I couldn't bear it. ”
