Later, General Wang's wife donated 15,000 taels, Xing'an Houfu also donated 15,000 taels, and the rest of the families donated 10,000 taels, some donated 8,000 taels, and the most recent also donated 5,000 taels, which is equivalent to the number donated by the Zhao Guogong Mansion and the Zhongyong Houfu.Mrs.
Zhao and Mrs.
Li listened to the donations donated by others, and their faces turned indescribably dark.Lu Jiao looked at Mrs.
Zhao and Mrs.
Li with a look of embarrassment and said, "It stands to reason that the donations of our people should not be higher than those of the Zhao Guogong Mansion and the Zhongyong Mansion, but today's matter is that Your Majesty can only donate so much." ”After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she kindly asked the old ladies of the Zhao Guogong Mansion and the Zhongyong Waiting Mansion: "The two old ladies are sure to donate so much, if it is confirmed, I will set it according to this number?"
”The old lady of Zhao Guogong's Mansion and the old lady of Zhongyong Houfu were about to die of anger, their faces were indescribably stiff and ugly, and it took a long time to grit their teeth and say, "My family donated 25,000 taels." ”As the mother of the Queen Mother, she must be higher than others no matter what, otherwise she will definitely lose face to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will definitely be angry.The queen's maiden family had to follow suit and donate 25,000 taels.After the two old ladies finished talking about this number, they felt a pain in their hearts, and they didn't like Lu Jiao anywhere.Lu Jiao thanked her with a smile: "I thank the two old ladies for the kindness of the victims of the Northland. ”Old Madam Pei and the county lord of Wen'an tried hard to hold back their laughter, if they hadn't held back, both of them couldn't help but say that Lu Jiao was narrow.Don't you see that the two old ladies are about to be by you?
Mrs.
Pei and the county lord of Wen'an changed the topic with a smile: "We have a treat at noon today, and we invite everyone to eat at the restaurant, it is rare to have such an opportunity to get together and talk." ”Many of them agreed, but Mrs.
Zhao and Mrs.
Li were so distressed that they couldn't eat at all, so they got up and greeted Mrs.
Pei and the county lord of Wen'an: "There are too many things at home, forget it today, next time we will invite Mrs.
Pei and the county lord to get together." ”After the two old ladies finished speaking, they were about to take people away, and then Lu Jiao sighed and said: "Old Madam Zhao and Old Madam Li really deserve to be my models of Da Zhou, and they are in a hurry to go back to get the silver ticket as soon as they finish speaking." ”Lu Jiao sighed and then said: "Old Madam Zhao, Old Madam Li, don't worry, I will order someone to go to the house to get it later." ”Old Madam Zhao and Old Madam Li walked in unison, and the two of them scolded Lu Jiao angrily in their hearts, and they didn't want to look behind them again.Later, Lu Jiao ignored the two old ladies, turned to look at the ladies who participated in today's fundraising activities and said, "Thank you for participating, I have a treat today, please go to Bazhen Building for dinner." ”Mrs.
Pei, the county lord of Wen'an, and Mrs.
General Wang, Mrs.
Xing'an Hou naturally cheered, and responded: "I'll let you break the bank today." ”However, the wives of the Jinwang Party didn't want to stay, so they quickly got up and said that there was something at home.Lu Jiao didn't force her to stay, as long as the donated money was in place, everything else was easy to say.Lu Jiao looked at Princess Jin's maiden Hua family and said, "Then will you send someone to send someone to send the money donated by each of your families, or will I send someone to the house to pick it up." ”Several people hurriedly said that they would send someone to Lu Jiao's house later.Lu Jiao smiled and led them out.When these people left, the rest of the people were much more harmonious, and Lu Jiao invited them to Bazhen Tower for dinner.After eating, they were invited to the beauty club to enjoy a set of services, and when they were done, it was not early, and everyone said goodbye and went home, and these people said to Lu Jiao before leaving, and the donated money would be sent to Xie Mansion the next day.In the evening, Lu Jiao returned to Xie's house and talked about it with Xie Yunjin, and couldn't help but laugh gloatingly."
Don't you know that Mrs.
Zhao and Mrs.
Li's faces are green."
Xie Yun looked at her and reminded: "You have offended the two old ladies, be careful in the future, don't let them calculate you." ”Lu Jiao raised her eyebrows and said: "Even if I coax them today, it's useless, because we raised the second prince, this is a sin, since they already hate us, why bother to praise them again." ”Lu Jiao's words made Xie Yunjin feel guilty in his heart, he looked at Lu Jiao and said, "It's all because I took in the Four Treasures, otherwise I wouldn't have let our family suffer so many calculations." ”Lu Jiao glared at him angrily: "Things are already like this, what's the point of you talking about it now, it's better to help the four treasures." ”"Hmm."
The husband and wife talked for a while and rested early.The next day, the ladies of the Jingzhong families sent the donated silver tickets to Lu Jiao's hands.Lu Jiao made an account book of the money donated by each family and handed it to Xie Yunjin, who personally handed it to His Majesty.How to arrange it later, I will leave it to His Majesty to arrange.Xiao Yu in the palace saw the silver ticket, his face was indescribably good, this time Lu Jiao raised a total of more than 600,000 taels, although this money is not much, but it can buy a lot of food to help those victims survive the winter, and the court will supply a batch of rice seeds to the northern victims in the coming year, and this snow disaster will pass peacefully."
Thank you, ma'am."
Xie Yunjin replied gently: "This is what the minister and his wife should do. ”Because Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao helped Xiao Yu solve the trouble, Xiao Yu looked at Xie Yunjin a lot, he saw that Xie Yunjin's face was bandaged with gauze, and he looked very miserable, so he couldn't help but say with concern: "Is your face okay?"
”Xie Yunjin shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, there will be no big problem, but it won't be fine in a short time, and it will be fine later." ”"Well, now that the New Year is approaching, you can recuperate in the mansion with peace of mind, and you don't need to worry about disaster relief, I will arrange for others to do these things."
After Xie Yun responded, he asked about the situation of King Ming in the palace with concern."
In the past two days, his spirit has improved a lot, and the injuries on his body have healed, and his body is not bad."
It can be seen from this that his son is really doing well in the Xie family, and Mrs.
Xie has raised his body well in the past, so those rumors about abusing him are rumors.Xiao Yu thought about it and told Xie Yunjin with concern.Next, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were very low-key, and they didn't care about the situation in the north anymore, and everything was decided by His Majesty.Now that the New Year is approaching, Lu Jiao began to be busy with family affairs, in addition to giving New Year's gifts to people who are good friends in the DPRK and China, but also giving gifts to Xie Laogen and Xie Erzhu who are far away in Qinghe County, and by the way, sending some things to some good friends in Qinghe County, such as the Han family and Tian's family.In addition to worrying about the New Year's gifts and festivals, Lu Jiao also has to take inventory, the accounts of the three major workshops in Qinghe County, the accounts of the North and South Odd Goods Stores, the accounts of the beauty club, and the accounts of the vegetable greenhouses.
