The officials above the third rank in the capital and the relatives of the emperors and the families of the nobles and emperors all received invitations from Wu Yi'an. Because the person who sent the post was thorough, the person who received the post knew that the purpose of this banquet was to raise donations.

Zhang's family also received an invitation, and Grandma Zhang told her husband and Master Zhang about it that evening.

After knowing the reason, Master Zhang's face was ugly, and he said: "The imperial court has allocated so much money to the front, and now there are no donations, and their Wu family's appearance is too ugly." ”

He felt that the Wu family must have made a lot of money from it. As for the Wu family's simple life, he felt that it was all disguised.

"Don't donate, whoever likes to donate will donate, anyway, we can't be cheap Wu family."

Grandma Zhang was a little anxious and motioned to her husband to say, but unfortunately Uncle Zhang didn't seem to see it. There was no way, she could only say it herself: "Father-in-law, although this banquet is nominally organized by the Wu family girl, the venue is located in the eldest princess's mansion. ”

Therefore, this actually also has the meaning of the eldest princess in it.

At the mention of the eldest princess, Master Zhang's face became more and more ugly. Her sister is the queen mother, and she should be the most noble woman in the world, but she was still pressed under the eldest princess.

Master Zhang didn't like it anymore, and finally said: "Then donate three or five hundred taels of silver at that time." ”

Grandma Zhang felt that it was a little little, but she was very smart not to say it directly, but said: "Father-in-law, do you think you want to ask the Queen Mother about this?" ”

Master Zhang felt that this daughter-in-law was really not good, and said: "What does the Queen Mother do with this kind of trivial matter?" As I said, I will donate a maximum of five hundred taels. ”

It is equivalent to saying that Grandma Zhang donated more than this, and the house did not recognize it.

This scene was staged in many families who had bad relations with the Wu family, and those who had a good relationship with the Wu family were ready to donate more.

This incident actually alarmed many people, and some of them also agreed with Yi An's move.

Scholar Tu told the emperor about this: "Your Majesty, Miss Wu wants everyone to donate, and the rhetoric is to do their part for the soldiers in front. ”

The emperor said: "My aunt and grandmother mentioned this matter to me, and she said that the soldiers in front fought bloodily to protect the family and defend the country, so Miss Wu and the county lord of Xiaohe wanted to do something for them. ”

"It's good to have this heart, but you shouldn't ask for donations. Now people outside are already speculating whether the treasury has no money to support the consumption of the war, so they ask everyone to collect donations. ”

The emperor was also worried about this before, so he refused. But the eldest princess told him that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, and the emperor weighed it and agreed.

The emperor said calmly: "Master Tu thinks too much. It's just a patriotic heart of two women. ”

Master Tu knew that Wu Yi'an's starting point was good, but he should still be reminded: "Your Majesty, it's an eventful time now, so it's better to be cautious."

The emperor smiled and said, "Don't worry, they can't raise much money, it's good to raise thirty or fifty thousand taels." With such a small amount of money, it can only add a few more meat dishes to the soldiers in front. ”

However, Yi An wanted to share some of the burden for him, which still made him happy.

Although the scholar still felt that it was inappropriate, the emperor said so and did not refute his face. This big girl Wu is not only a girl from the Zhenguo Mansion, but also the sweetheart of the future empress and emperor.

It's just that no one expected that this banquet would raise more than 600,000 taels of silver. Not to mention the others, even Qingshu was very surprised.

"How much money was raised?"

Feng Xiaoyu said excitedly: "Yes, I thought it would be good to raise 300,000 yuan, but I didn't expect it to double as expected." ”

Speaking of this, Feng Xiaoyu said: "But it is thanks to Yi'an that I was able to raise so much money. She stood on the stage and told us that in order to let us live a peaceful and peaceful life, the soldiers of Tongcheng used their flesh and blood to resist the iron hooves of the Jin people, even if the flesh and blood were blurred and the bones were gone, they had no regrets. Then he also told us that the wives and children of the soldiers who died in the war were living a particularly difficult life, and eating was a problem. ”

Women are all sensual, and under Yi An's infectious speech, these people all burst into tears. Later, Yi An said that the Zhenguo Mansion donated 40,000 yuan, and she donated a total of 60,000 taels of silver for the dowry.

The eldest princess praised Yi'an's high wind and brightness with the most beautiful rhetoric, and then said on the spot that she would donate 50,000 yuan, and then the British duchess also said that she would donate 40,000 yuan.

The Zhenguo Mansion and the British Mansion donated 40,000 yuan, and the Weiguo Mansion and the Korean Mansion could only grit their teeth and say that they would donate 30,000 yuan. There's no way, donate too little and don't have a face!

Below the Guogong Mansion is the Hou Mansion, Cheng was the first to say that the Lin'an Hou Mansion donated 20,000 yuan, and the Dongping Hou Mansion followed. Seeing this, the Marquis of Xiangyang and the Marquis of Zhongyong could only grit their teeth and pledge 20,000 yuan.

There are noble families in front of them to set an example, and those officials and wives are embarrassed to donate three or five hundred. Therefore, for this banquet, at least two thousand taels of silver were donated.

Qingshu smiled and said, "Don't be too happy, the money doesn't count if it doesn't arrive." ”

Feng Xiaoyu sighed and said, "My grandmother said that they should hand over the money within three days." Unless they are shameless, they will definitely send the money within three days. But ah, these people must be scolding me and Yi An now. ”

In fact, Feng Xiaoyu felt relieved, these people were forced by the eldest princess to donate so much money.

Seeing that her eyebrows and eyes were bent, Qingshu couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you still so happy to scold you?" ”

Feng Xiaoyu said indifferently: "Scold, scold, anyway, a piece of meat is indispensable." And with so much money, you can help those soldiers in the border city. ”

Qing Shu looked at her radiant appearance and asked with a smile, "How are you going to use this money?" ”

Feng Xiaoyu said: "Yi An said, 500,000 taels of silver will be used to buy medicines, cotton yarn and other things, and the rest will be used to buy cloth and rice noodles to give away. ”

The cloth and rice were given to the sergeants and their families.

Qingshu said: "Xiao Yu, every penny of the expenses of this money must be recorded, and we will show this account book to all the donors in the future." ”

Feng Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The workload is too much, there is not so much energy and personnel, just let them know the approximate expenses." ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, this follow-up work must be done well, and it must all be true and stand up to everyone's investigation." ”

Feng Xiaoyu felt that it was too troublesome.

Qingshu asked, "Do you know why everyone is reluctant to donate?" ”

"I still have to ask, of course I can't help it."

It's her, and this time she cut the meat for the sake of Yi An and Qingshu.

"There are also those who are reluctant, but most people are reluctant to donate money because they feel that the money is greedy by the people who handle it. The money he has earned so hard is spent on others, and no one will donate it in exchange. On the contrary, if the money you donate really helps those who are in need, even if you feel sorry, you will donate because it is worth it. ”

There are wicked people in this world, but there are even more well-wishers.

Qingshu said: "As long as we do the next thing well, if Yi Anru calls on everyone to donate and give love in the future, everyone will donate willingly." ”

This time, everyone was driven to the shelves and forced to donate. But next time, Qingshu hopes that they can donate sincerely, of course, how much to donate next time is all voluntary.
