Chapter 844: Good Hall
Meng Fangling knew that Li Qian was the commander of the two divisions in one go, and was named the king of Lintong, it was when he was employing people, Yunlin and Wei were Li Qian's henchmen, and he also married Jiang Xian's two highest-ranking maids to these two people, which shows that he values these two people very much. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And as Li Qian's power grows bigger and bigger, the careers of these two people will definitely get better and better, the lovers and Baijie are all from the palace, Jiang Xian did not sign a deed of sale with them in order to respect them, they are all good people, after marrying Yunlin and Wei, they became the wives of the official family, so they naturally have to follow their husbands, and they can no longer serve Jiang Xian.
This is their chance!
Meng Fangling was happy for them.
In the next few days, I was enthusiastic to help the lover and Baijie prepare for the small thing.
Jiang Xian originally thought that he should be very busy, but he ended up idle.
The eldest lady of the Dong family heard that the lover and Baijie were going to get married, so she happily came to the ceremony.
Jiang Xian sat under the eaves and talked with the eldest lady of the Dong family.
At this time, the chrysanthemums are blooming brightly, and they are full of gold, piled up into a mountain of flowers, and there are several pots of camellia and magnolia next to them, and the cool autumn wind blows, and the oily green leaves of the branches are rattling.
It was a rare peaceful afternoon.
Jiang Xian asked the eldest lady of the Dong family: "Is it going well on your father's side?"
A few days ago, she heard Binghe say that Dong Chongjin's caravan encountered a horse thief who had robbed him when he passed by Hamiwei. But because many of them were the original nursing homes of the Li family and the family that Li Qian later received, those horse thieves were robbed by the Li family instead of robbing, and more than 40 good horses were robbed.
The eldest lady of the Dong family obviously knew about this.
She pursed her lips and smiled happily, and said: "County Lord, don't you know, in the past, our caravans were afraid of those horse thieves, and when we encountered them to rob, even if we led people to resist and win, we were still afraid that they would secretly make trouble in the future, and we would give them a big gift as Cheng Yi." But this time, the prince's people left all those horse thieves behind. My father was worried that he would get into trouble, but the prince's people said that this year is a good year for Tartar, but not necessarily on our side. If that day really comes, the prince will go out to train his troops. Most of these horse thieves are in collusion with the Tartars, and when they are fighting, many horse thieves give messages to the Tartars, and even transport grain and grass. The meaning of the prince is that these people are more hateful than the Tartars, and they just took this opportunity to clean up a batch. He also said that in the future, as long as those horse thieves who colluded with the Tartars to rob our caravan, as long as they are caught, they will not be left.
"When our housekeeper came back to report the news, we were all so excited to hear it, and we didn't know how happy we were!
"For so many years, I have always bowed my head and behaved.
"Now I can have a big fight with those horse thieves, whether I win or lose, this is very happy.
"My father said, no wonder many people like to follow the prince.
"It's refreshing!"
After Dong Chongjin was separated from the Dong family, their family was the second master of the Dong family who guarded the family.
Jiang Xian didn't think much about it after knowing about it, but felt that since the Dong family and the Li family were in partnership, the Li family should keep the Dong family safe.
Now that she heard the eldest lady of the Dong family say this, she became a little curious and said, "Will it be safe and smooth after that?"
The eldest lady of the Dong family thought for a while, and said solemnly: "After that, I also encountered a few robberies, but they were all beaten back by the prince's people." It turned out that those horse thieves were also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and they didn't come to harass them again, and it was quite peaceful until the Western Regions. ”
Jiang Xian knew that this time Dong Chongjin had more things than he brought last time, and it was even better. If they can come back safely, they will make a lot of money, just to make winter clothes for those soldiers under Li Qian's command.
Thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea.
She asked the eldest lady of the Dong family: "Do you know where the Shantang on our side is? Are there many people, and who are some of them?"
The benevolent hall is the government to take in those lonely widows and children and lost children, and nowadays those lonely widows and children are mostly taken care of by various clans, so there are not many such people in the good halls in various places.
Jiang Xian once heard the eldest lady of the Dong family mention that the Dong family would donate food to Shantang every year, so he asked.
The eldest lady of the Dong family smiled: "I know. It is just east of Xiangji Temple, less than a mile away from Xiangji Temple. Ten years ago, there were only seven or eight elderly people and a few children as young as five or six years old, but in the past few years, there have been frequent wars, many people have been displaced, and more and more people have become on the side of Shantang. Last time, my second uncle donated 30 quintals of rice, and the steward of the Shantang said that the rice could be eaten for three months at most, which meant that my second uncle would continue to donate some rice. But my second uncle came back to tell me that today's charity hall is no longer the good hall of the past, and I don't know how much of these rice donations can fall into the stomachs of those lonely widows, children and lost children. ”
Jiang Xian doesn't understand this truth!
But she had other plans.
She called the seventh aunt and said to the eldest lady of the Dong family: "The matter of Shantang, you see which steward of your family is, let him take our seventh aunt for a trip to see who are there in Shantang now?"
Miss Dong responded, and said curiously: "What is the county lord going to do?"
Jiang Xian said: "I think that every year the two divisions will send some winter clothes to the soldiers. In the past, it was provided by the imperial court, but now that the imperial court is too busy to take care of these things, the two divisions will definitely have to find their own way out, or not send it, or outsource it to others. I know that those women and children in Shantang are living a good life, so it is better to outsource some of them and give them to do it, which can be regarded as helping those women and children find a way out. ”
The seventh aunt praised it repeatedly.
The eldest lady of the Dong family did not speak.
Jiang Xian smiled: "I'm just on a whim, I just have to say what Coral has to say." ”
Coral is the name of the eldest lady of the Dong family.
The eldest lady of the Dong family thought about it and said thoughtfully: "The county lord wants to do good things, I know it." It's just that I've seen those people in the good hall, not all of them are pure and good, some people are used to being helped, and they think that if you have money, you should help me, if you don't help me, you are rich and unkind. I'd rather work and wait for someone to come to me than work. You are going to make winter clothes for the soldiers of the two divisions, which is a big deal, and I don't know if those women and children in the good hall can pick it up. ”
Jiang Xian saw that her words were extremely tactful, and simply smiled: "You want to say that the Shantang is sponsored by the government, and not all people can go to the Shantang, and many of those who can go are lazy and used to it, and may not be willing to do things, right?"
The eldest lady of the Dong family blushed.
Jiang Xian smiled: "So I want the seventh aunt to follow your housekeeper over to have a look." If it really doesn't work, forget it. ”
The seventh aunt said: "County Lord, I think that no matter whether the people in the good hall are willing or not, it is feasible for you to let those ordinary women and children help the two divisions make winter clothes, and they should be done." ”
Jiang Xian and the eldest lady of the Dong family couldn't help but look at the seventh aunt.
