Chapter 911 Fundraising for Charity (3)

Since Liu Er is the organizer of this fundraising, she naturally wants to donate money and materials.

Yu Xi looked at the list given by Liu Er, and said with a smile: "You want to donate two thousand taels?" In Yu Xi's eyes, sons and daughters are the same. So there are the same number of monthly cases for six children, and they are all twenty taels per month. Two thousand taels of silver is Liu'er's monthly regular silver for nearly ten years.

Liu'er nodded and said, "Yes."

Brother You said with some surprise: "Second sister, donating two thousand taels, wouldn't it mean that you have emptied your private house?" Besides the monthly money, they also have a relatively large source of income, which is the lucky money they get during the Chinese New Year.

Yunqing and Yuxi will give a big red envelope during the New Year, and Huo Changqing, Xu Wu and others also give a lot, and it is a considerable amount of money to save.

Liu'er didn't deny it, but just said with a smile: "I don't have any expenses on weekdays, and now I can use this money to help those victims, I think it's very good."

Brother Xuan is the most sympathetic: "Second sister, I don't have as much money as you, so I can 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, Brother Rui and Brother Yu immediately expressed that they were also willing to donate two hundred taels of silver.

After expressing his position, Brother Rui asked Yu Xi: "Mom, how much do you plan to donate?"

Yuxi smiled and said, "Mother doesn't donate."

Brother Rui looked at Yuxi eagerly and said, "Mother, if you don't donate, will other people not donate when they know?" Besides, this is organized by the second sister, and mother will not donate a cent to the second sister. Isn't it ugly on the face.

Oak Hee laughed.

Brother You couldn't bear to look directly at him, and said, "Second brother, even if mother doesn't donate, the money will be used for the victims." So it's the same whether his mother donates money or not.

"Oh..." Brother Rui was used to being despised by Brother Yu, so he wasn't unhappy at all.

Brother Yu said: "Mother, raising money for charity is not a trivial matter, do you want us to help Second Sister?"

Liu Er looked at the triplets and said: "The fourth brother has this kind of heart, and the second sister is very happy. But I will handle this matter well. Fourth brother, you can rest assured to learn from the master." She would rather be tired than the triplets. tire help. If such an important matter was disturbed, she would have nowhere to look for it.

How could Brother Yu fail to hear Liu'er's insincere words! He pouted immediately, but didn't say anything.

After dinner, Yuxi left Liu'er behind and asked the triplets to go back to her yard.

After entering the bedroom, Yuxi handed Liu Er a box made of huanghuali wood. The box was not painted, but it was carved with crabapple flowers and auspicious clouds on the side.

Liu Er took the box and asked: "Mother, is this jewelry for me?" Giving her jewelry at this time always felt that something was wrong.

Yuxi smiled and said: "This is jewelry, but it's not for you."

Liu'er opened the box suspiciously, and the room was filled with golden light. This box contains a complete set of ruby ​​jewellery, including hairpins, hairpins, step shakers, earrings, bracelets, and rings. Among them, the head of the phoenix hairpin and the tail of the phoenix are vividly carved, and the ruby ​​held in the mouth of the phoenix is ​​the size of a thumbnail.

This set of jewelry is very expensive, and the price must not be low. But such flamboyant jewelry is not Liu'er's favorite. Liu'er looked at the jewelry in the box and asked: "Mother, it's not for me, so why did you give it to me?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "When you take out this set of jewelry for auction, there will be many people vying to buy it."

Liu'er doesn't like to wear jewelry that others have worn, so unless the jewelry that Yuxi gave her was made by a gold shop, she doesn't wear the rest: "Mother, it's not just for fundraising, but also for auctioning things?"

"Ok,

There is one more link. "This is what she thought of only two days ago. It's only fundraising, and it's less fun.

Liu'er said, "Mother, but we didn't notify them. Besides, isn't it too monotonous to only auction one set of jewelry?" There are only three days left, and I am in a hurry to post another post.

Yuxi smiled and said: "It's simple, as long as you release the news, they will know in a while. If you want to donate, they will send it 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.” Three days is enough for Yuxi to deal with it.

Liu'er hesitated for a while and said: "Mom, let's postpone it for a few days!" Three days is too late, and she is afraid of making mistakes. It was the first time to do such a big event, and she really wanted to do it well and would not make mistakes.

With Liu'er's consent, the date of the fundraising was postponed by five days. It took four days to collect the items donated by everyone, and then make a booklet of the auctioned things and send it to everyone. 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 Yu Xi's words, Liu'er said with some shame: "Mother is really considerate. Compared with Mother, I am far behind."

Yuxi laughed and said: "How old are you? When you reach your mother's age, you will definitely do better than your mother."

Seeing that Yuxi was about to go to the front yard, Sister Quan said: "Princess, you should rest first! No matter how urgent you are, it will take two quarters of an hour." During this time, Yuxi was so tired that she lost a lot of weight.

Yuxi was also a little tired, and said: "I'll take a minute." Sleeping is too troublesome, it takes a lot of time to get dressed and undressed, and you have to freshen up after getting up. It would take 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 head of the bed.

A quarter of an hour later, Meilan wanted to wake Yuxi up, but was stopped by Sister Quan. Sister Quan said: "If something is really urgent, someone will come to report it." No one came, it means that the matter is not too urgent, so Yuxi can sleep peacefully.

Mei Lan said: "Nurse, this is not acceptable, the princess will scold me when she wakes up."

Hit a snake and hit it seven inches, and Grandma Quan will not know Meilan's weakness. Sister Quan said: "Just because you were punished, you ignored the princess' body?"

Although Meilan was trained by Sister Quan, she is only loyal to Yuxi. If it was anything else, she would definitely not listen to Sister Quan. But it was related to Yuxi's health, so she had to think about it. After a while, Meilan said: "Listen to Mommy."

Two quarters of an hour later, someone from the front yard came to report that Mr. Shen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, asked to see him, and Meilan woke Yuxi up.

Yu Xi didn't punish Mei Lan, she washed her face with cold water to dispel the drowsiness, and immediately rushed to the front yard.

In the afternoon of the same day, the ladies got the news that in addition to donations, there will be an auction on the fundraising day.

Ling Ruoyun got Xu Wu's words, disclosed the news to Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Cui, and then sent someone to send a white jade bowl to the palace early the next morning. This white jade bowl was also Xu Wu's spoils of war. 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 of great value. At this time, no one will be stingy. Otherwise, you will lose face of your own man.

In four days, Liu'er received hundreds of donations, all of which were not low in value.

Liu'er spent a day printing these things into pamphlets, and then sent them to the wives. Of course, everything that can be included in the booklet is estimated to be more than a thousand taels.

When Tong was in Yucheng, she could not read. After Cui Mo made her fortune, she found it inconvenient to be illiterate, so she worked hard to learn to read. Now, she can also read letters and account books, but she is not good at writing.

After reading the booklet, Tong said to Mama Qian, the woman in charge, "The second princess is really capable." There are fifty-four items in this booklet, and each item has a detailed description and price. Even if you don't look at the real thing, Just by looking at the description, you can roughly know what it is like.

Mother Qian said with a smile: "Who in this city doesn't know that the head of the second county, the director of the house, the female red needlework is outstanding in everything." Liu'er's reputation is very good in the city. Not only talented and beautiful, but also very capable.

Tong said in a low voice: "I just don't know if Wei Qi has this blessing."

Mother Qian said with a smile: "The uncle is outstanding in everything, and he is accompanied by the son of the world. I think the prince and the princess will definitely be willing." As parents, they all want to marry their daughters to someone who knows everything. The Cui family has a simple family background, and his wife is straightforward, so there is nothing wrong with marrying her. The prince and princess really love the second princess and they will definitely agree to this marriage.

Tong shook her head and said, "That's not sure. The second princess is both talented and capable, and has a high status. I don't know how many people are thinking about her. Although Qi'er is not bad, the sons of other families are also very good. The princess may not be able to take a fancy to him." It was also because of this worry that Tong did not dare to tell his son, fearing that his son would be trapped if the marriage failed.

Mother Qian said with a smile: "This marriage is predestined by the heavens, Madam, don't worry." Whether this marriage can come true depends on the master's support.

A thunderclap shocked Yuxi, who was reviewing papers, into a shiver.

Putting down the brush in her hand, Yu Xi walked out. I saw dark clouds gathering together from all directions as if hearing an assembly order. At this time, the wind was strong, and the pagoda tree in the yard was blown to this side.

Seeing Yuxi standing in the yard, Xu Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Princess, it's going to rain heavily, you should hurry into the house!" If it rains, you might get sick. All these things cannot be separated from the princess.

Yuxi walked to Chaoshou corridor, said with a smile: "Liu'er is probably in a hurry to get angry!" Today is fundraising day. Liu'er was already nervous at first, but now it's raining heavily.

Xu Wu said: "The rain in summer comes and goes quickly. But if the princess is worried, go and have a look!" Xu Wu felt that it was not safe for the second princess and a child to insist on such a big matter. It's just that this was approved by Yuxi, and it was a matter of the inner house, so he didn't mention it.

Yuxi smiled and said: "After all the people are here, I will not be too late." Since the fundraising is held in the palace, she, the hostess, must show up, otherwise it will be unreasonable!

"Wow..." The heavy rain poured down from the sky as if the sky had collapsed, and the raindrops joined together like a waterfall. Bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground and splashed, like small fountains.

After staying outside for a few minutes, Yu Xi turned back to the study. Recently, the number of booklets has nearly doubled compared to usual, which is one of the reasons why Yuxi is busy until midnight every day.

After a quarter of an hour the rain stopped. Liu'er let out a long breath: "It's good to stop, I'm still worried that it will last all day!"

Lu Xiu said the same thing as Xu Wu: "Summer rain comes and goes quickly." In fact, even if it rains, they are not afraid, they have already made two-handed preparations.

Not long after, I heard my mother-in-law come over and say: "Second Princess, Madam Uncle, Madam Xu is here." Ling Ruoyun had already received Xu Wu's orders. Because Xu Wu was worried that Liu'er would not be able to handle it, he asked Ling Ruoyun to come over earlier to help Liu'er. But Xu Wu's worries were obviously unnecessary. With the help of Lu Xiu and Qu's mother, Liu'er arranged everything in an orderly manner, even if there was an accident like rain, there was no trouble.

After half an hour, the invitees were almost all read. Some wives brought their daughters here, so the total number was nearly a hundred. This number was still within their expectations.

It was Liu'er's first time hosting such a big banquet, and it was so important, so she was unavoidably uncertain.

How shrewd people like Mrs. Feng are, you can tell at a glance. Mrs. Feng grabbed Liu'er's hand and patted it with a smile, and said with a smile: "The second princess is really capable. If my Lianwu is half as good as you, then I don't have to worry about it anymore." Although Feng Dajun was not at home, But in fact, the major affairs of the Feng family are all decided by Feng Dajun. Mrs. Feng knew that Feng Dajun wanted his youngest son to marry Liu'er. For this marriage, she is happy to see it happen. Because whether it is family background or Liu'er's personal conditions, there is no choice. But Mrs. Feng Chang also has the same worry as Tong, that is, she is afraid that Yu Xi and Liu Er will look down on her son.

Liu'er was still able to stand up in front of the outside, and immediately said generously: "Aunt Feng is ridiculous, who doesn't know that Sister Lianwu is smart and capable."

Tong said with a smile: "If you want me to say, it's still the princess who can train the children. You look at them one by one, and I want to take one home."

Amid everyone's joking, Liu'er unconsciously relaxed.

Not far away, Xiao Fang saw Liu'er talking and laughing happily with all the wives, and couldn't help saying to Mama He who was beside her: "The second princess is dignified and elegant, and she was born by the same mother. How can the big princess talk to the second princess?" So much difference?" It's not that Xiao Fang couldn't distinguish the occasion, but that the gap between Liu'er and Zao Zao was too big, which made Xiao Fang murmur.

Mother He scanned the surrounding area, and she was relieved when she found that no one cared about their side. Mama He said: "My grandma, this is the palace of the prince, so you must speak carefully." Originally, Mrs. Fang planned to come by herself, but she couldn't do it until she recovered from her illness. If this drags the sick body over and infects others, it will not be a feud. In desperation, only Xiao Fang came. In order to prevent Xiao Fang from making mistakes, Fang asked Mama He to follow.

Xiao Fang didn't say anything more. (to be continued)
