Since Liuer, as the organizer of this fundraising, naturally has to donate money and materials.
Yuxi looked at the list given by Liuer and said with a smile, "You want to donate two thousand taels?" In Yuxi's eyes, sons and daughters are the same. So there are as many monthly cases for six children, twenty taels per month. Two thousand taels of silver is Liu'er's monthly payment for the past ten years.
Liuer nodded and said, "Yes."
Brother You said with some surprise: "Second Sister, you donated two thousand taels, didn't you empty out your private house?" In addition to monthly money, they also have a relatively large source of income, which is the New Year's money.
Yun Qing and Yuxi would seal a big red envelope during the New Year, and Huo Changqing, Xu Wu and others also gave a lot of them, and it was a considerable sum that they survived.
Liu Er didn't deny it, but smiled and said, "I don't spend much on weekdays. I think it's good to be able to use the money to help the victims."
Brother Xuan is the most sympathetic: "Second Sister, I don’t have as much money as you, so I’ll donate two hundred taels!" The triplets often go out and like to buy gifts for Yuxi, so they spend more money than Liuer. .
The triplets are one body. Brother Rui and Brother You said immediately that they are also willing to donate two hundred taels of silver.
After expressing his attitude, Brother Rui asked Yuxi: "Mother, how much do you plan to donate?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "Mother don't donate."
Brother Rui looked at Yuxi eagerly and said, "Mother, if you don't donate, other people know if you won't donate it in the future?" Besides, this is organized by the second sister, and the mother will not donate anything. Isn't it ugly on the face
Yuxi laughed.
Brother You couldn't bear to look straight, and said, "Second brother, even if your mother doesn't donate, the money will be used for the victims." So it's the same whether his mother donated or donated.
"Oh..." Brother Rui is accustomed to being despised by Brother You, and there is nothing to be upset about.
Brother You said: "Mother, raising donations is not a trivial matter, do you want us to help the second sister."
Liu Er looked at the triplets and said, "The fourth brother has this heart, and the second sister is very happy. But I will take care of this. You can learn things from your husband at ease for the fourth brother." She would rather be tired than the triplets. Tire help. If such an important matter is disturbed, she will find it without crying.
Brother You couldn't hear Liu'er's insincere words! He pouted immediately, but didn't say anything.
After dinner, Yuxi left Liuer and told the triplets to go back to their yard.
Entering the bedroom, Yuxi handed a box made of yellow rosewood to Liu'er. The box is not painted, but it is carved with begonia flowers and auspicious clouds are also engraved on the side.
Liuer took the box and asked, "Mother, is this jewelry for me?" At this time, giving her jewelry always felt that something was wrong.
Yuxi smiled and said, "I have jewelry here, but it's not for you."
Liuer opened the box suspiciously, and the room was suddenly golden. This box contains a complete set of ruby jewelry, hairpins, hairpins, buckles, earrings, bracelets, and rings, which are very complete. Among them, the phoenix tail is vividly carved, and the ruby on the mouth of the phoenix is the size of a thumb nail.
This set of jewelry is very expensive, and the price is certainly not low. But such ostentatious jewelry is not Liu'er's dish. Liuer looked at the jewelry in the box and asked, "Mother, it's not for me, so what do you give it to me for?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "When you take out this set of jewelry for auction, there will be a lot of people vying to buy it."
Liu'er doesn't like wearing jewelry that others have worn, so unless the jewelry Yuxi gave her was made by a gold shop, she would not wear the other jewelry: "Mother, not just to raise money, but to auction things?"
"Well, there is one more link." This is what she thought of only these two days. Only fundraising, less fun.
Liu Er said, "Mother, but we didn't notify them. Besides, is it too monotonous to just auction a set of jewelry?" There are only three days left, and I am a little rushed to post.
Yuxi smiled and said, "It's simple. Just let the news go, and they will know it in a long time. If they donate things, they will send them to the register in the next two days. But if you are afraid If you can't make it in time, you can postpone it for a few days. In this way, you won't be in a hurry." If it is enough for Yu Xilai to deal with it for three days.
Liuer hesitated and said, "Mother, let's postpone it for a few days!" Three days were too rushed, she was afraid of making a mistake. For the first time to do such a big thing, she wanted to do it well and didn't want to make mistakes.
With Liu'er's consent, the fundraising day was postponed by five days. Collect the items donated by the crowd in four days, and then send the auctioned items into a booklet to the crowd. In this way, everyone has a count of the items to be auctioned, and they will choose what to buy in advance.
After listening to Yuxi's words, Liu Er said with some shame: "My mother is really considerate. Compared with my mother, I am far behind."
Yuxi laughed: "How old are you? When you reach your mother's age, you will definitely do better than your mother."
Seeing Yuxi preparing to go to the front yard, the grandmother said: "Wang Hao, you should rest first! No matter how urgent it is, it will not be too short of two quarters of an hour." During this time, Yuxi has lost a lot of tiredness.
Yuxi was also a little tired, and said: "I will squint." Sleeping is too troublesome, it takes a lot of time to dress and undress, and you have to freshen up after getting up. It took half an hour to toss, so Yuxi decided to take a nap.
Before squinting, Yuxi said to Meilan, "Call me in a quarter of an hour." After speaking, she leaned against the bed.
A quarter of an hour later, Meilan wanted to wake Yuxi, but she was stopped by Grandma. Mother Quan said: "If there is something urgent, someone will come to tell you." No one comes, it means that the matter is not too urgent, then you can let Yuxi sleep peacefully.
Meilan said, "Mother, this won't work. When the princess wakes up, she will scold me."
By hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, the grandmother still doesn't know Meilan's weakness. Grandma said: "Just because you were punished, you ignored the princess's body?"
Although Mei Lan was trained by the grandmother, she is only loyal to Yuxi. If it were other things, she would definitely not listen to Grandma. But it's about Yuxi's health, so she has to think more about it. After a while, Meilan said, "Listen to Mother."
Two quarters of an hour later, someone in the front yard came to tell Master Shang Shushen to see him, and Mei Lan woke Yuxi up.
Yuxi didn't punish Meilan either, she washed her cold water face to dissipate her sleepiness, and immediately rushed to the front yard.
In the afternoon, the ladies got the news, knowing that in addition to donations, an auction will be held on the fundraising day.
Ling Ruoyun got the words of Xu Wu and disclosed the news to Madam Feng and Madam Cui and so on, and then sent someone to deliver a white jade bowl to the palace early the next morning. This white jade bowl was still the trophy that Xu Wu distributed. This bowl was carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade, and it was very valuable.
The donations sent by Mrs. Feng and others are also valuable. At this time, no one will be stingy anymore. Otherwise, the face of his own man would be lost.
Within four days, Liuer received hundreds of donations, all of which are not low in value.
Liu'er printed these things into pamphlets in a day, and then sent them to the hands of the ladies. Of course, the items that can be included in the booklet are estimated to be more than a thousand taels.
When Tong was in Yucheng, she was illiterate. After Cui Mo became illiterate, she found that her illiteracy was inconvenient, so she had to work hard to learn to read. Now, she can read letters and books, but she can't write them well.
After reading this booklet, Mr. Tong said to Mrs. Qian Qian: "The second princess is really capable." There are 54 items in this booklet, and each has a detailed description and price, even if you don’t look at the actual product. Just look at the description and you can roughly know what that thing is like.
Mother Qian smiled and said: "No one in this city knows that the director of the second county, the director of the second county, the female red needle and thread, is outstanding in everything." Liu'er's reputation in the city is excellent. Not only is talented and beautiful, but also very capable.
Tong said in a low voice, "I just don't know if Weiqi has this blessing."
Mother Qian smiled and said: "The uncle is so good, and he is the companion of the son of the world. I think the prince and the princess will definitely be willing." As parents, they want to marry their daughter to someone who knows the roots. The Cui family has a simple family background, and his wife is a good temper, and there is nothing bad about marrying. If the prince and the princess really love the second princess, they will definitely agree to this marriage.
Tong shook his head and said: "This is not true. The second princess is both talented and capable and has a valuable status. I don't know how many people hit her idea. Although Qi'er is not bad, the sons of other families are also very good. The princess may not be able to look at him.” Because of this worry, the Tong family did not dare to pass the word to his son, because he was afraid that the marriage would not happen and the son would fall into it.
Mother Qian said with a smile: "This marriage is predestined by God. Madam, don't worry." Whether this marriage can happen or not, it depends on the master's strength.
A thunderstorm shocked Yuxi, who was reviewing the notes.
Putting down the brush in his hand, Yuxi walked out. I saw dark clouds gathering together from all directions as if they heard the assembly order. At this time, the strong wind was blowing, and the locust trees in the yard were blown torsionally.
Seeing Yuxi standing in the yard, Xu Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Wang Hao, it's going to rain heavily, you can go into the house as soon as possible!" If you get caught in the rain, you might get sick. This pile of things cannot be separated from the princess.
Yuxi walked to the Chaoshou corridor and said with a smile: "Liu'er is afraid to get angry now!" Today is fundraising day. Liu'er was nervous at first, but now he can't get upset in the heavy rain.
Xu Wu said: "The summer rain comes quickly and goes quickly. But if the princess is not at ease, let's go and take a look!" Xu Wu felt that it was not safe to let the second princess a child handle such a big thing. It's just that Yuxi agreed with it, and it belonged to the inner house, so he didn't even mention it.
Yuxi smiled and said, "I won't be too late when the meeting is full." Since the fundraising is held in the palace, she, the hostess, must show up, otherwise it can't be justified!
"Wow..." The heavy rain poured down from the sky like the sky collapsed, and the raindrops were connected together like a waterfall. The big drops of rain fell on the ground and splashed water, which was like small fountains.
After staying outside for a few minutes, Yuxi turned back to the study. Recently, the number of zhezi has nearly doubled than usual, which is one of the reasons why Yuxi is busy until midnight every day.
The rain stopped after a quarter of an hour. Liuer let out a sigh of relief: "Just stop it, I'm still worried that it will be the next whole day!"
Lu Xiu said the same thing as Xu Wu: "The summer rain comes and goes quickly." In fact, they are not afraid of rain. They have already prepared for it.
Not long after, I heard her mother-in-law come over and say: "Second princess, Mrs. Uncle, Mrs. Xu is here." Ling Ruoyun had already received Xu Wu's order like this. Because Xu Wu was worried that Liu'er would not be able to cope with it, he asked Ling Ruoyun to come over early to help Liuer. But Xu Wu's worries are obviously redundant. With the assistance of Lu Xiu and Qu's mother, Liu Er arranged everything in an orderly manner, even if it was raining, there was no trouble.
After half an hour, the people who invited almost didn't read it all. Some ladies brought the girls from the family, so the total number is close to 100. This number is still in their expectations.
Liu'er hosted such a big banquet for the first time, and it was still so important, it was inevitable that he felt a little unsure.
Mrs. Feng, these people are so shrewd, you can tell at a glance. Madam Feng smiled and grabbed Liu'er's hand and patted it, and said with a smile: "The second princess is really capable, if my lotus mist is half of yours, then I won't have to worry about it anymore." Although Feng Dajun is not at home, but In fact, Feng Dajun decides all the major matters of the family. Feng Dajun wanted his youngest son to marry Liuer, and Mrs. Feng knew about this. For this marriage, she is happy to see it happen. Because whether it's the family background or Liu'er's personal conditions, there is no choice. However, Mrs. Feng Chang clan also has the same worries as Tong clan, that is, she is afraid that Yuxi and Liuer will not look down upon her son.
Liu'er was still able to stand up outside, and immediately said generously: "Aunt Feng is absurd. Who doesn't know that sister Lianwu is smart and capable."
Tong said with a smile: "If you want me, the princess will train the children. You look at them one by one, and I want to take them home."
Amidst everyone's joking, Liu Er unconsciously relaxed.
Not far away, Xiao Fang watched Liu'er chatting with all the ladies, and couldn’t help but say to Mother He next to him: “The second princess knows the book, Dali is dignified and elegant, and the same mother is born, how can the princess be with the second princess? So much difference?" It's not that Xiao Fang's can't tell the occasion, but the gap between Liu'er and Zaozao is too big, making Xiao Fang's guilty whisper.
Mother He scanned the surrounding area and found that no one cared about them, so she was relieved. Mother He said: "Grandma, this is the palace, and you must speak carefully." Fang's original plan was to come by herself, but she didn't recover from the illness and couldn't come. This drags the sick body over and if it spreads to others, it won't endure revenge. In desperation, only Xiao Fang's came. In order to prevent Xiao Fang's mistake, Fang asked his mother to follow.
Xiao Fang did not say anything again.
