Chapter 152 Fundraising (2)

Zhao Huan went back to Zhao's house and told Mrs. Zhao the result of his negotiations with Yuxi: "I thought Mrs. Yun would take this opportunity to ask for an increase in the dividend share!" But unexpectedly, no one mentioned this matter Half a word, he really thought too much.

Mrs. Zhao was not surprised, and said: "The two families have always been very close. If she asked for an increase in the share of dividends, she would have fallen into a lower class." , but occupy the righteousness.

Although Zhao Huan is not the head of the Zhao family now, within a certain range, he can still make the decision, and said, "Auntie, how much do you think our Zhao family should donate?" People are jealous; less donations make people look stingy. Zhao Huan felt that three to four thousand taels would be enough.

Mrs. Zhao would not give Zhao Huan this idea anymore, and said, "It's better for you to go back and ask your father about this matter." Donating money is also a matter of learning.

After talking with Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Huan returned to Xinping City. Mrs. Zhao called Zhao Ernǎinǎi and asked, "How is the sales home now?" She knew that Yu Xi was in charge of the sales home now, but she hadn't visited it.

Zhao Ernǎinǎi said: "The nursery is very good now. There are 28 helpers in total, and there are those older children helping to take care of the younger ones. Everything is in order." I bought some rice and went to visit those children.

After a pause, Zhao Ernǎinǎi said: "Yuxi also made two sets of clothes for each child, and took very good care of those sick children. I heard that General Yun only allocated five hundred taels of silver to the The nursery, the money has been used up long ago. The current expenses are all subsidized by Yuxi." This illness is the most costly, but Yuxi is taken care of by others, which is really rare.

Mrs. Zhao thought for a while, and said: "I remember that the Han family adopted dozens of orphans, right?"

Zhao Ernǎinǎi nodded and said: "Yes! These adopted children are placed on Zhuangzi. Those children learn Chinese characters and practice martial arts in Zhuangzi in the morning, and help with work in the afternoon. I heard from Yuxi that this is to cultivate children's ability to survive "Being close to Yuxi, I know a lot of things.

Mrs. Zhao nodded, and told Zhao Ernǎinǎi that Yuxi wanted to convene people to donate: "I will donate five hundred taels, and you will send it in person tomorrow." This money can be regarded as her heart.

Zhao Ernǎinǎi let out a cry, and said, "Mother, last time at the Qingming Hall, I said I wanted to donate, but Yuxi didn't win. This time she took the initiative to call people to donate, is it because the expenses are too big to support?"

Mrs. Zhao nodded and said: "Although there were about three hundred children last time, it was only two or three months, and it was only necessary to feed them. This time it is different. These more than five hundred children eat and drink Lazar has to take care of everything, and it costs at least tens of thousands of taels a year." This is still a conservative estimate. But even so, not everyone can afford tens of thousands of taels a year.

Zhao Ernǎinǎi said: "I will also donate two hundred taels." Two hundred taels is also a large sum for Zhao Ernaiinǎi.

Mrs. Zhao said: "Just do what you can." Regarding this, Mrs. Zhao felt that Yuxi had done a good job, knowing that she could not hold on, so she relied on external forces instead of resisting herself and being able to bend and stretch.

Zhao Ernǎinǎi said: "Mother, do you think I should release this matter and let everyone donate together? If everyone donates together, the accumulation will make these children live better." Inspired by what happened last time.

Mrs. Zhao said: "It won't be too late to release the news when Mrs. Han accepts your money tomorrow." Yunqing is now the biggest official in Yucheng, and those wives and wives will definitely take the initiative to send money to them in order to curry favor. of.

After Zhao Da nǎinǎi found out about this,

Gritting his teeth, he expressed his willingness to donate three hundred taels. Anyway, she is the eldest daughter-in-law, so she can't fall behind his sister-in-law.

The next day, Zhao Ernǎinǎi sent a thousand taels of silver to Yuxi: "Yuxi, you must accept this money! It can't be the same as last time, so don't refuse it."

Yuxi smiled and repeated what she said to Zhao Huan before, and said with a smile: "This time, I will accept no matter how much you give." After finishing speaking, she turned her head and said to Shiliu: "Go and call the bamboo leaves. "Zhuye knew how to read, and Yuxi handed over the registration of donations to her.

Zhao Ernǎinǎi talked about her plan to call on everyone to raise donations together: "Yuxi, what do you think of this idea?"

Yuxi said: "Naturally, but you should tell them clearly that this is voluntary and cannot be forced. In addition, when the time comes, I will write down the name of the donor and the amount of the donation, and post it on the wall of the Salesian Home." Let these children know who they have been favored by." After a pause, Yuxi said: "I will record every expense of the salesperson's home, and I will post it for everyone to see." There is no need to do this for three to five hundred taels, but the amount is large. In order to prevent being gossiped, this must be done.

Zhao Ernǎinǎi said with a smile: "Yuxi, no one can doubt what you said, no one can doubt you." Not to mention that she believed in Yuxi's character, but Qian Yuxi didn't take it seriously.

Yuxi said: "It's not the same thing. The account should be clear, and let everyone know where the money is used, so that the donator can feel at ease." If people know that the money they donated has been Corruption makes anyone feel uncomfortable.

Zhao Ernǎinǎi smiled and said, "It's still you who think carefully."

Yuxi thought for a while, and said: "Speaking of which, I have been in Yucheng for so long, and I haven't held a banquet yet. I would like to take this opportunity to invite the wives and wives of Yucheng to participate, and I am familiar with everyone." The banquet is an excuse, Calling everyone to donate is real.

Zhao Ernǎinǎi immediately understood Yuxi's intention, and said with a smile: "Of course it's all right." This is not what it used to be, and I believe that everyone who receives the post will come.

As Zhao Ernǎinǎi expected, on the day when Yuxi held a banquet, all the people who received the post came except Fu Danǎinǎi. For donations, everyone is also very active. However, Yucheng's economic level cannot be compared with that of Beijing, so most of them donate one to two hundred taels, and the largest amount is only five hundred taels. Yuxi was also very satisfied with this.

The things for entertaining guests that day are also very common. The tea is Yuxi's own scented tea, and bee water or fruit juice is also prepared; in addition, the fruits are grapes, watermelons, honeydew melons, etc. that are in season. The pastries are candied date cake, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and cloud cake made by Bai Mama. As for lunch, it is four meat, four vegetables and one soup made by Master Man. Compared with the Xu family back then, this kind of hospitality standard is far behind. However, none of the people present said it was shabby, but there were constant voices of praise.

Yuxi didn't care whether these people were sincere or polite, she accepted it with a smile, and after sending the last guest away, she asked Zhuye: "How much charity money have you received today?"

Zhuye said: "Six thousand eight hundred taels."

Yuxi said wearily: "It's very good to receive so much money." The life of the generals in Yucheng is actually not very easy. It is really rare to be able to raise so much money.

At this time, Yuxi hoped that Zhao Huan could raise more money. Naturally, nothing happened in summer now, but in winter, it was freezing cold, and these children couldn't bear it. Not only winter clothes must be made for them, but accommodation must also be prepared. Yuxi wanted to get a piece of land if she had money, and build a house suitable for these children.

Mother Qu looked at Yuxi's appearance, and wanted to tell Yuxi not to work so hard, but she swallowed the words. Because she knew in her heart that it was useless to say it.

Yuxi said to Zhuye: "Zhuye, I want you to manage the sales home, will you go?" He is the best candidate to manage the Salesian.

Zhuye hesitated for a moment, and said: "Madam, can I do it?" If I can't do it well, it will make Madam feel ashamed.

Yuxi said: "What's wrong? As long as you follow the rules and regulations, if you can't handle anything, you can ask Mother Qu, or you can report back to me."

Zhuye nodded and said, "Okay, ma'am, I won't embarrass you." Although he said so, but thinking about managing more than five hundred children, Zhuye's palms were still sweating.

Yuxi chuckled lightly and said: "Don't be afraid, I will never attend meetings for anything. But going to the sales school will be more difficult, and it will not be as relaxing in the mansion, you can think about it."

Without even thinking about it, Zhuye said: "Madam, I'm not afraid of hard work." It doesn't matter if you are a little busy or tired, you are afraid that you will be put aside and will not be reused.

Fu Da's mother was unable to attend the banquet because she was pregnant, but she also asked for a donation of five hundred taels. When the woman she sent came back, she asked, "Are there many people at the banquet?"

The mother-in-law replied: "Ma'am, all the ladies in Yucheng have gone, and the scene is very lively. I heard that everyone is very enthusiastic when they donate."

After hearing this, Fu Da's mother said, "Understood, you can go down!" After speaking, she leaned on the soft couch again, feeling disconcerted.

At night, the mother-in-law came in to answer and said, "Ma'am, the uncle said that he has something to do today, so he can't come back."

Hearing this, Fu Da's nǎinǎi burst into tears and said, "I know he's blaming me, but I didn't mean it." Has been bad. Although I never blamed her, I knew that my husband had a knot in his heart.

Qiudan comforted her and said: "My grandma, don't think too much about it. You must be busy with business so you can't come back. When you finish your work, you will go home." It is not good for the body.

Fu Da's nǎinǎi wiped away her tears and said, "I just hope that the seven children can be found sooner." After the children are found, the knot in the husband's heart can be untied, so that they can return to the past. If not, I don't know yet how is it! (to be continued)
