Except for Wu Zhe, it was the first time for everyone to contact the lottery. √∟,
At first, everyone thought it was just a small gift or something, such as carrying a box or two of snacks back home, which is considered a good effort.
After all, the gift givers are not the porters in their respective mansions in the past, so it is impossible to receive entry filial piety. On the contrary, when they came to Prince Mo's mansion, they already had the consciousness to send money to the concierge of Prince Mo's mansion.
But now everyone is beginning to realize that there are great benefits in giving gifts to Prince Mo and Miss Zhou in the name of charitable donations.
Seems like a lottery? Everyone has a lottery number, and according to the number, it is possible to get a lot of money!
The gift silver sent by hundreds of people one after another was exchanged for one thousand and two hundred lottery numbers, which was 120,000 taels of silver.
Wu Zhe announced that 10% of the lottery will be refunded. Although it was a bit incomprehensible, everyone heard it clearly: someone can get 12,000 taels of silver!
"Twelve thousand taels!" Many people exclaimed in low voices.
"Does it mean that Miss Zhou will return 12,000 taels to a certain family on behalf of Prince Mo's Mansion?"
"This... this... I don't understand! Why do you want to withdraw the gift money you sent in?"
"It's called a lottery."
"Is it a bit like a game in some casinos?"
"Hey, it really looks a bit like it. But where is it so big?"
"Miss Zhou said just now that it is a charity donation. If you win the lottery, you will get benefits. If you don't win the lottery, it will be regarded as doing good deeds to accumulate yin virtue."
"But Miss Zhou and Prince Mo's residence don't accept money?"
"It is said that only part of the donations are collected as operating expenses. The rest are used as charitable materials to build orphanages and maintain charitable supplies."
"Yeah, that's a good thing. But what's an operating expense?"
"It seems to be building a platform like now and asking for money from craftsmen."
It was the first time that everyone came into contact with the charity donation lottery, and there were many discussions, but they all felt that what Ms. Zhou did was a great thing.
Everyone looked at Wu Zhe on the stage, and there was also some respect on the basis of envy.
The lottery process continues. Constantly narrowing the number range, gradually from thousands to ones, completed one by one.
The lottery machine is very competitive, and there is no problem of damage when it is run for the first time.
Finally coming to a conclusion, Wu Zhe announced loudly: "Number 1113 is the winner!"
There was a buzzing sound from the originally quiet audience.
"Who won the prize?"
"No. 1113 anytime?"
"It seems that the queue was relatively late before, and the number is relatively large."
Everyone in the crowd looked at each other. In fact, even the winners themselves did not react. After all, I am not familiar with this kind of lottery. Many people are still confused.
"It seems that the winner didn't realize that he had already won the prize." Wu Zhe said with a smile, "This is a grand prize of twelve thousand taels of silver. Let me see who it is."
Wu Zhe picked up the name book and read it.
Then, she opened the list of donations in reverse, and spread them out to hundreds of people below the stage: "Xicheng Huichun Hall has won a lottery!"
The audience exclaimed.
"Where are the people from Huichun Hall?"
"Where?"
Soon, an old butler with a goatee in the crowd didn't make a fuss, but held his goatee and looked at the stage in disbelief.
In fact, Wu Zhe already knew that he had won the lottery on behalf of Huichuntang, but Wu Zhe didn't want to show his photographic memory. But at this time, his reaction was so obvious that he walked over. He asked loudly, "Is this housekeeper from Huichun Hall?"
Wu Zhe pointed at the goatee old housekeeper: "Congratulations! You have won a grand prize of twelve thousand taels of silver!"
When the old butler heard this, he trembled with fright.
"Old, old, old..." The goatee butler nodded tremblingly.
The crowd exclaimed even more. A few people behind him patted him on the back and shouted: "Oh, old butler, you've made a lot of money!"
In fact, the butler only brought two hundred taels of silver as a gift, far less than the amount of many other families. Unexpectedly, by coincidence, he won the jackpot.
Huichuntang is a medical hall. Although he has connections with officials, he has nothing to do with Prince Mo. It's just because Wu Zhe, as the senior sister of Yuan Healing Hall, has reached an alliance for the treatment of orphans in the orphanage with Tang Shengshou and others in the medical field, so the two sides have had several contacts.
Prince Mo's reputation was growing, and there were rumors about Zhou Zhiruo after the catastrophe. The owner of the medical center felt that everyone was going to give gifts, so he sealed two hundred taels of silver for the housekeeper to deliver.
In fact, this is a small meaning. Because the place to receive the gift is on the side of the old temple, it is quite meaningful to cooperate, and it is only here in the name of charity. Simply put, join in the fun and send a small favor.
So the butler just registered his name and left two letters of silver, and is ready to leave. But looking at the lottery machine and other things felt fresh, so I stopped. Unexpectedly, such a big good thing hit his head.
This is real? Can I get twelve thousand taels of silver
The housekeeper didn't even think about taking the money personally. The identities of housekeepers and masters in this era. Individuals are tied to their masters. Moreover, the concept of social morality is also very clear. He also feels that this time he is a gift on behalf of his boss, and if there is any benefit, it still belongs to the boss.
Many people also questioned, 12,000 taels of silver, is it really going to be given to them Huichuntang
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Many people still reacted quickly. Some acquaintances squeezed over to get close to the old housekeeper.
"This, this... the old man is just..." The old housekeeper didn't know what to say.
Wu Zhe began to publicize that the old housekeeper only donated two hundred taels of silver. Just won the grand prize of 12,000 taels of silver.
People gradually realized that this was a lottery!
It was as if a pot exploded in the audience, and everyone excitedly exchanged views with those around them.
Being able to give gifts, taking the title of welfare donation, and gaining the possibility of winning a lottery, this is a great thing.
"From now on, on the first and sixteenth day of every lunar month, we will accept everyone's welfare donations in this golden place of the old temple!" Wu Zhe announced loudly: "Everyone remember, all the money is not gift money, it is not everyone's contribution to Prince Mo's mansion or My Zhou Zhiruo's gift is a contribution to the welfare cause. This activity is called the welfare lottery!"
After Wu Zhe made the announcement, he ignored the various voices from the audience and went straight to the backstage.
This is also the only time she presided over the welfare lottery. In the future, it will be held by other people from Prince Mo's mansion.
However, because she is the pioneer who created the lottery and is also a well-known figure in the on-site host, she unceremoniously became a patriarch again.
Grandpa of the lottery industry!
After this, all lottery shops will enshrine a girl in gray clothes. Whether it is a portrait or a sculpture, although the woman is dressed in plain clothes, she has a noble temperament and a beautiful appearance.
Every day of the lottery on the 16th day of the Lunar New Year, some fruits will be offered. Every year on the big day, everyone in the lottery industry is called to worship.
Wu Zhe didn't know that what she did today would become the basis for her to be her patriarch in the future, otherwise she would definitely try to do better.
In addition to becoming the patriarch of the concubine's concubine, she now has another identity as the patriarch of the lottery industry. In fact, if she wants to continue to spoof, she can become the master of public baths, massage and bathing, and even the sauna industry.
If she really becomes the patriarch of these industries, I'm afraid it will make countless historians cry: "How can this person known as the model of a pure girl start such an unscrupulous industry!"
Well, none of them are serious business, but Wu Zhe didn't set his mind on serious business either. Her appearance is quite deceptive.
The only thing that can be mentioned is the groundbreaking of opera or drama. She can become a master in these two industries. While she wasn't the first to arrange a play or opera, an industry needed a leader of sufficient stature.
The patriarch of opera singing in another world is Tang Minghuang. Of course, he is not the first to wear opera robes to sing opera. But because of their special status, they have attracted much attention, and they have similar similarities.
Their side was buzzing, but the group of provocateurs far from the wooden platform was stunned.
The eldest prince and sister Shiliu also heard clearly, and gradually understood the meaning of Wu Zhe's lottery.
"Eldest Prince, I don't see any gifts for you." The head and steward of the clan's mansion looked helpless.
In fact, the two of them had already bared their teeth with joy in their hearts.
Eldest prince, do you still want to pick on Zhou Zhiruo's faults and make things difficult for Prince Mo? Isn't this wishful thinking!
Look at the name Zhou Zhiruo set up - charitable donations plus welfare lottery!
What a lofty excuse!
Even if someone wants to attack and say that they are accepting gift money, they have no way to speak. Because firstly, the money was collected at the reception point of the orphanage, secondly, there were orphans helping with miscellaneous work, and thirdly, there were donations and lottery draws to return.
Who gave gifts and returned them? This is clearly not a gift, but a collective effort to help orphans.
"This..." The eldest prince also saw that it was difficult to tell.
Sister Shiliu made unreasonable words, and said with a straight neck: "But they all handed over the money to the people of Prince Mo's Mansion!"
The head of the clan mansion said with a wry smile: "One person went to buy vegetables and gave the money to the farmer. Is the farmer accepting bribes?"
What he means is that giving money is not necessarily a bribe.
Sister Shiliu refused to let it go: "But Prince Mo's residence has a prince's background!"
This time it was the steward of the clan mansion and said: "The eldest prince's mansion gave back money to Prince Mo's mansion. And it gave more money than anyone else..."
This sentence is definitely powerful enough. When it comes to giving money to Prince Mo's residence, your eldest prince gave the most money.
The lord in charge glanced at the lord in charge, implying that what you said was too serious, it was no less than a slap in the face.
But these words have already made the eldest prince and Shiliu speechless. (To be continued..)
