Chapter 136: Deliberation

Mrs. Lan laughed more and more when she heard this, and pointed at Lan Jiayin and said, "This kid, why is his mouth so sharp, and he is not afraid that your sister Fang will not treat you as a leather monkey?" ā€

Song Qiaofang really didn't care about Lan Jiayin talking to her like this, on the contrary, the more Lan Jiayin let go in front of her, the closer she meant to her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Song Qiaofang can't wait to get along with Lan Jiayin and Hu Qinghui now, but after getting along with these two for a long time, the more she can compare the superficiality of those so-called good friends before.

As the saying goes, what kind of friends learn to be what kind of person, since having these two good new friends, Song Qiaofang's style is also very different from before.

She also likes to do things according to Hu Qinghui to demand herself, she doesn't feel anything for a day or two, after a long time, slowly, you can see that Song Qiaofang, who was still a little impetuous and hypocritical, has gradually become calm.

She smiled and stretched out her hand, deliberately brushed the peony hairpin on her sideburns, blinked and said, "This is the clothes I wore on the first day of the New Year last year, the jewelry I brought, but unfortunately I wore it once, and I usually wear it again on no festive occasions." ā€

"Didn't you pack up your cage yesterday? I just took it out, and you said, such a good material, but it's a pity that it's moldy in vain? ā€

"But the color of the clothes is too bright, if you really want to wear it out to the banquet, it is inevitable that others will have the same idea as Sister Yin, didn't I come to your house today?"

"There aren't so many scruples among good friends, so I thought it would be nice to let this dress come out again."

As she spoke, she stood in place and spun around, smiling and asking, "Is it good-looking?" ā€

Hu Qinghui pulled her wide sleeves and touched it, "Is it a good Shu brocade, or such a rare wishful bird finch pattern, it is indeed a good material of great value." ā€

"In the future, when you come to play with us, you will wear it, although I don't like to wear red, but I like to see people wear red, festive and warm, especially your skin is white, and the red one is especially good-looking, and your skin is as white as jade."

Song Qiaofang giggled and grabbed Hu Qinghui's arm, "That's good, I'm celebrating the New Year this year, and I'm going to make a big red outfit, Sister Hui will choose my materials, okay?" ā€

Lan Jiayin didn't participate in the laughter of the two of them, the smile on her face gradually faded, after thinking about it, she frowned and asked Song Qiaofang, "Sister Fang, what do you do with the old clothes you don't wear on weekdays?" ā€

Song Qiaofang was stunned when she heard this, and instinctively turned her head to look at her mother.

Mrs. Song smiled and helped her daughter answer, "What can I do, it's nothing more than changing it for my sister to wear, or rewarding people, just that, there are many young and old left, Fang'er's old clothes, I'm afraid there are five or six boxes of them." ā€

Lan Jiayin smiled when she heard this, and pulled Hu Qinghui forward to greet the elders.

After sitting down, she said with a smile, "Just now I said to Wanwan in the house that I wanted my mother to take us to Anfu Temple, give clothes and porridge, accumulate more merits, and keep my brother and them safe." ā€

"I will listen to Sister Fang, I have some ideas."

"What thoughts?" Mrs. Lan has been restless in the past two days, and according to her daughter's words, going to the temple to make merits, so that the Buddha can bless Dazhou Quansheng and return her relatives safely, which is really a good way to make people feel at ease.

For Lan Jiayin and Hu Qinghui, maybe it is enough for the person he remembers in his heart to come back safely, but as the wife of Yin of Pingjing Mansion, Mrs. Lan is still eager for victory, after all, now that her master is the official of the West, if he loses the battle, Lan Mingdong will have to be involved.

The position of the master determines the status of the children, even if Mrs. Lan is not greedy for wealth and nobility, but for the sake of the children, she doesn't want Lan Mingdong's official position to be lowered again!

She was thinking about what she didn't have here, so she listened to Lan Jiayin say coldly: "Presumably, in Pingjing City, there must be a lot of people in the same old clothes as Sister Fang, let's collect these old clothes, sell them to buy new cotton jackets, or give them directly to the poor to wear, but it is much faster than finding someone to make them." ā€

Mrs. Lan glanced at Mrs. Song, and without any surprise, she saw disapproval in the eyes of the other party.

Think about it, no matter what, it's also the clothes worn by the daughter, it's saving to wear it for the younger sisters, and it's the face to wear it for the maid who has a face, and it's already the limit to be able to do these two things, if it's really for the poor people outside, then where is the face of your daughter?

If this is seen on the street, it will not be laughed at? "Look, that jacket was worn by Miss Cheng of the Song Mansion!"

It's simply unacceptable!

Mrs. Song immediately spoke: "Forget about the old clothes, but this new padded jacket, our family is willing to give out 500 pieces, and also give 500 stone white noodles." ā€

As soon as Mrs. Song said this, Lan Jiayin secretly screamed, 'Not good'.

There is no other reason, in her previous life, when she was most difficult, it was the middle coat given to her by Cousin Lian Shan, which was also disassembled and embroidered with good materials and exchanged for money.

As for the jewelry, the clothes, again and again, again and again, until there is nothing to do.

Therefore, Lan Jiayin knows best that the old clothes that Miss Everyone's don't wear can be exchanged for a lot of silver if you take out any one piece.

But she ignored it, at that time, she made a living by being a thing, but in a special period when the Lan family was completely down, to that point, it was good to save her life, where can she still take care of face?

In fact, the more beautiful the clothes and jewelry, the more closely guarded, just like now, Jinwen is in charge of Lan Jiayin's clothes, and Jinluo is in charge of her jewelry.

Whatever she wears on her body and on her head, it is all recorded in the book, and every month or two, a few big girls will take it out to check things to see if there are any omissions on the books.

Even if you don't wear old clothes, they are all put on hold, how can you take them out and exchange them for money?

"In the end, the time for rebirth is still short, and the unforgettable memories of the previous life are still fresh!" Lan Jiayin buzzed in her head, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, she felt a little flustered.

Fortunately, Mrs. Lan felt sorry for her daughter, and opened her mouth to help ask Yuanchangzi's words, "Five hundred stone white noodles?!" ā€

"Mrs. Song is so generous."

It can be regarded as intentionally or unintentionally relieving Lan Jiayin.

I heard Mrs. Song smile and say: "Don't hide it from my sister, when my sister got married, her mother's family gave her some land, and she produced a lot of rice and grain. ā€

"In fact, at this time in previous years, our family also had to make porridge outside the temple, and this year is the first time my sister went to Anfu Temple, and my sister will give you a good time and double the white noodles."

The drought in the west is due to the fact that rice cannot be grown, and all the rice eaten by large families is also transported from the south, and the price is more expensive than noodles.

For example, in the south, most of the relief for the poor people is soup porridge, but most of the western land is mixed with white flour and cornmeal, and steamed out a big steamed bun the size of an adult's fist, the color is slightly yellow, and the taste is a little sweet, but it is more resistant.

Soup soup porridge can almost be said to be extremely rare, even if there is, it is cooked with wheat kernels mixed with cornmeal, and the wheat kernels are extremely difficult to cook, and it is time-consuming, so it is better to build a basket and steam buns.

Where did Mrs. Lan know these exquisiteness in the West?

Listening to this, he nodded again and again, and then said with a smile: "Okay, okay, my sister thanked my sister first, thanks to what you said, so that we don't have to take a detour, and donate so much, but many people can benefit." ā€

She groaned for a while, and immediately decided, "Then our family will apply 800 sets of cotton clothes and 800 stones of white noodles." ā€

When Lan Jiayin heard this, she couldn't help but want to say, "You can't just buy white flour, you have to buy it with cornmeal." But when I thought about the slip of the tongue just now, I swallowed it back, and I didn't have to say more wrong.

Fortunately, Song Qiaofang is not a housekeeper, she also followed her mother to Anfu Temple in previous years, and saw with her own eyes how the family gave food, so she couldn't help but ask, "Mother, didn't you wait for the snow to go to Anfu Temple to build a shed in previous years?" ā€

"Also, you and Aunt Lan both donate white flour, what about cornmeal?"

"Is it steamed steamed buns with pure white noodles?"

Lan Jiayin really liked Song Qiaofang so much for the first time, so she pretended not to know and asked, "What cornmeal, what pure white flour?" Is there anything else in this? ā€

Mrs. Lan also humbly asked, "Sister, there are customs in this place, you, just talk to our mother, don't be the time, you are kind enough to make a joke." ā€

Mrs. Song's task now is to befriend Mrs. Lan, which was personally ordered by Lord Song.

After hearing this, I naturally took the trouble to talk about them one by one.

It turns out that Xidi rice is the most expensive, followed by white flour, and cornmeal is the cheapest.

There will definitely be no pure white flour, just look at the white flour and cornmeal.

For example, Xuanping Houfu, the family is big, Mrs. Hou is still a merciful person, it is six white noodles, four cornmeals, and the steamed steamed buns are soft and sweet, and they are the most delicious.

Another example is Mrs. Song's belief in Buddhism and sincerity, but the family business is far inferior to that of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, that is, the two sides are five or five open, although the taste is not as good as the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, but their family has always given a lot, which is considered to be a victory by quantity.

There are also some wives who will make more cheap cornmeal, so that not only do they have a reputation for charity, but also save money for their families, and as for whether they are delicious or not, they are not eaten by their own family anyway, so they don't care so much.

Judging from the situation of Anfukuji Temple to help the victims every year, not to mention the white flour, the cornmeal is mixed, even if it is pure cornmeal, it will definitely be sold out.

If you think about it, you can know that those poor people who suffer from the snow disaster and Rong Di's offenses, as long as they can fill their stomachs and not starve to death, where can they care about whether they are delicious or not?

Hearing these words, Mrs. Lan was not sentimental, and understood the key during the period, she said uncompromisingly, "Our family naturally can't be compared with the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, so it's the same as my sister's family." ā€

"Don't tell me about it, let's buy the white flour and cornmeal from your shop this time."

"But there is one thing, how much money should be charged, my sister will charge as much as she wants, this is my sister's blessing for your nephew, I can't be careless."

Mrs. Song said in a loud voice, "Understand, understand, sister rest assured, my sister will definitely tell the shopkeeper that the color and color will give you the best, and the price will be absolutely fair." ā€

Originally, she was just here to chat, but by mistake, she opened the door to her family's business, which was an unexpected joy, and the government was also so many people, and the monthly rice and noodles were also a lot of expenses.

Lan Jiayin's mood had recovered at this moment, and she asked Mrs. Song hesitantly, "Aunt Mei, then you say, do we want to wait for the first snow to fall before giving food and clothing?"

Song Qiaomei waved her hand, "Hey, where is there so much attention?" ā€

"There is a shop for cotton clothes, decades of old stores, how much silver you give, she will make you cotton clothes corresponding to the price, eight hundred, that is, half a month's effort, as long as it is good, we can immediately go to Anfu Temple outside the door to set up a shed, clothes, and not bad, a day earlier, a day earlier, a day warm."

"As for the almsgiving, there is no time limit, we can give it for three or five days first, wait for the heavy snowfall, and then continue to give it, the winter in the west, it can be long......"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Song sighed with emotion, "Alas, to tell you the truth, our western land is really incomparable with your capital, and even more so with the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River." ā€

"After all, it's still poor, you've been to Anfu Temple this year, and you know that it's winter, but it's the season we don't like to see here."

"What if some people don't freeze to death that year?"

"What a sin."

As she spoke, Mrs. Song clasped her hands together and recited a Buddha name, her expression was very compassionate, and her feelings were sincere and not fake.

Lan Jiayin felt at this moment that even if Mrs. Song's mother and daughter loved to drill camps, so as to support their boss's wife and bring them closer to each other, in essence, their family was really not a bad person.

For a person who can take 250 stone white flour every year to go out to help others, how can the Buddha not bless her?

So, the matter of going to Anfu Temple to give clothes and meals was decided.

Da Liu's mother, Hu's mother and Cai's mother were all sent by Mrs. Lan to do errands, and the three housekeepers were busy at the beginning, so Mama Kang couldn't be idle, so she took their original errand and took care of the housework of Kexin Pavilion.

For a while, the backyard of the government was very busy.

A few days later, Liang Wenyu got the news, so he asked Liang's mother to come over in person, saying, 'My sister said that she was going to Anfu Temple when she was born in Japan, but Pepsi was delayed and couldn't go. ā€

"This time, no matter what, I also want to accompany my wife and young lady to go together, and our family is also counted as a share of the blessings, and my wife also said that she would invite Abbot Guangren to personally do a 6636-day water and land puja, which can be regarded as praying for the peace of the soldiers guarding the border."
