254 Fundraising

After walking two steps, I heard an announcement from the door. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"The eldest princess of Chengyang has arrived."

It turned out that Cheng Yang was coming.

I saw her wearing an emerald green smoke gauze peony Bixia Luo, a pink narcissus scattered flowers and green leaf skirt mopping the floor, wearing a thin gold silk smoke emerald green veil, and a pair of jasper inlaid with pearls on her head, which made her even more graceful and luxurious.

A group of ladies and ladies hurriedly greeted Cheng Yang and gathered around him.

"Your clothes look so good."

"Who said that the princess's step is beautiful."

"This cloak is beautiful, elegant and gorgeous......"

……

The eldest princess of Chengyang smiled, surrounded by everyone.

"What are these long tables for?" Finally, someone asked, "Eldest princess, can you reveal a few points?" ”

Cheng Yang smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, just wait, you'll know in a while." ”

When the nobles and daughters saw that she refused to speak, they laughed again, and then gave up.

When I arrived, Baihualou was already full of people who came to the dinner, and the fragrance of the girls, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers blowing in the breeze, was very pleasant.

The eldest princess of Chengyang stood in the center of the red table that had been set up in advance, and said to everyone, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, thank you for coming to the dinner, you must be very curious, what are these tables for?" ”

Everyone who had already arrived was immediately attracted by her, and when they heard her say this, someone spoke up.

"Yes, yes, eldest princess, don't sell it anymore, say it quickly!"

"Exactly, I can't guess."

"Isn't it used to write couplets?"

……

Cheng Yang smiled, "You guessed right, it is indeed used to write about me." ”

After that, there was a small commotion in the crowd.

"That's true." Everyone whispered.

"Since the beginning of April, Daqing Mansion has been dry for days, and there has been no rain for a long time, and there has not been a drop of rain so far. The state capitals and villages everywhere were scorched by the scorching sun, and the fields were not harvested. Another Xinzhou, Yangzhou...... More than 30 prefectures and counties have reported the disaster one after another. When the eldest princess Chengyang said this, her tone was stern and her expression was solemn.

Her eyes swept over the group of people standing in front of her, and continued, "The imperial court distributed relief materials, lightly paid taxes, opened the mountains, and parked commercial taxes to help the people of Daqing survive this disaster. As the eldest princess of my Great Zhou Dynasty, I was blessed by the emperor and mercy from heaven, how could I watch the people of my Great Zhou Dynasty in dire straits. ”

"Therefore, for this Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, I invited several respected seniors to write couplets for us and raise funds!" Cheng Yang's voice was not loud, but it exuded a momentum that was not angry and mighty, "This dinner has raised funds, and all the funds will be donated to Daqing Mansion to help the people of Daqing overcome this difficulty!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, dozens of people walked in the distance.

Among the dozens of people, most of them were old men with gray hair, and although they looked very old, they walked with a steady pace.

Everyone recognized that these were important ministers and scholars who were famous in the court.

Suddenly, everyone got out of the way and let these old men in.

Cheng Yang saw them coming over and gave a deep salute.

"There is a lot of courtesy!" She said.

The old men hurriedly returned the salute.

One of the leaders said, "Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries!" The people of Dazhou are in trouble, we can contribute to it, how fortunate it is, the eldest princess does not need to be polite! ”

Autumn words understood at this time.

The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner held by the eldest princess of Chengyang when the crown prince was deposed and the situation in the court was turbulent was very different from the past.

It is no longer a place for daughters to sell their writings and ink, but has become a fundraising dinner.

Cheng Yang is contributing to the Great Zhou Dynasty and doing things for the emperor, presumably when this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, he will be very happy.

Knowing that everyone is not ignorant, they only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and they also know how to care about the people and subjects, as the king of a country, they are still happy to see it.

Another old man clasped his fists in the direction of the palace and said solemnly, "The eldest princess thinks so much about the people of my Great Zhou, the emperor will definitely feel pleased!" ”

Everyone also suddenly realized at this time.

Dare to love this is not to play, but to donate money!

These old men are all old ministers who have been officials for decades, and they are also highly respected in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the daughters and nobles come out to play, but they are not like the sons and daughters, and they don't have a lot of money on them, if there is less when they donate, wouldn't it be very embarrassing......

Suddenly, a look of unnaturalness flashed on some people's faces.

The eldest princess of Chengyang seemed to see it, and she smiled, "Raising funds is about your heart, just do whatever you want, you don't have to care about the amount of money." ”

As she spoke, she bowed to the old men again, "Seniors, please." “

So the old men, led by the maidservants, each stood in front of a large red long table, spread out the rice paper that had been prepared there, and began to write couplets.

Beside the old man, there were two servant girls who were helping, either helping to grind ink or helping to hand the brush.

Seeing that the old men were about to start waving ink, everyone hula and cheered around.

Someone said happily, "Great, I've always wanted to witness Mr. Qin's demeanor, and today I finally got to see it, and I'll have the first couplet written by Mr. Qin in a while, don't rob any of you with me!" ”

"Me too, me too." Someone next to him said happily, "I've always wanted a piece of Guo Lao's characters, but I can't ask for it, I will definitely buy it today!" ”

The old men were in high spirits, obviously in a good mood when they heard the praise and flattery of others.

"Hahaha, okay, what do you want to write, I'll give you a pair first!" Known as Guo Lao, he was very happy, he stroked his beard and laughed.

"Just write 'Min'an Guotai is in a prosperous era, and the wind and rain are in praise of the Chinese New Year'!" The man thought for a moment.

"Good!" Mr. Guo waved his hand, and the pen was as unstoppable as an army, and it was written in just a while.

"Horizontal batches of what!" Mr. Guo looked up and asked after he finished writing.

"Let's just 'Guotai Min'an'!" That's humane.

……

The same was true of some of the other long tables, where a full crowd of people clamored for the old men to write couplets.

Qiu Ci was squeezed behind the crowd, but he didn't go to any table to join in the fun.

These people who hurriedly squeezed to the table are actually people who want to flatter, they want to win a good impression in front of these old men, it would be better if they let them remember themselves, after all, the people who can be invited here by Chengyang today are all old courtiers who have been in power for decades, and they are easy to see on weekdays.

Yun Jun'er, who was holding Qiu Ci just now, had long since disappeared and squeezed to the front.

Of course, Yun Jun'er is by no means running forward to flatter, she is just very lively.

"What are you robbing, it's obvious that I came first!"

"Are you blind, are you obviously here first!"

……

Qiu Ji was walking when he saw a noise coming from a long table in front of him.
