Regarding Mrs. Man's remarks about making things difficult and benevolent, everyone took a wait-and-see attitude and did not echo them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A merchant like Yi Sin Tong who raised funds for charity was unprecedented in Huajing Dynasty. Every year, the hundreds of thousands of silver money raised in central Beijing and other places are used to set up porridge shops and righteous villages in various places, to support widows and widows, and to support orphans and the poor. In the past ten years, he has not only had a good relationship with the noble family, but also had an unparalleled reputation among the merchants.

In this way, the people of the family are complacent with their good reputation for charity, but they never question that Yishantang uses it for personal gain, thinking that such an act of spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain is actually contrary to righteous and good deeds.

Since Ji Shuxuan's founding, Yishantang has indeed never made profits with charitable funds, after all, such a huge organization has many people, and there will always be times when paper can't hold the fire.

What Yishantang seeks is just the word reputation. At that time, Ji Shuxuan and Sima Jun's friendship could be described as mutual assistance, and he was able to gain a firm foothold and win credibility in the Jingzhong family by virtue of Sima Jun's prestige, so that his status in the eyes of merchants was even more transcendent.

In this way, the word profit is just a matter of course, and it comes easily.

Jin Yi'an sat on the head, and watched the conversation between Mrs. Man and Mama Yu with a smile, and couldn't help but feel funny, how could a woman like Mrs. Man talk about business with the steward of Yishantang, how can she get half a penny?

The upper few seats are all seated one after another, under the Zhenguo Mansion is Mrs. Xian of the Zhongyi Mansion, with her is the eldest lady Nianjun, and then there is the seat of Qin Ronghou's Mansion, today it is the third lady An and the fourth lady Xie who came with Qin Lian.

When Xie Yingran was outside just now, she had been talking quietly with Zu Nianjun on the side, and when she sat down, there were people from the Zhenguo Mansion in the middle, and it was inconvenient to speak, so she whispered to Yunhui: "Sister-in-law, I want to go and sit with Sister Nianjun." ”

Yun Hui turned her head and glanced at Huan Yuanyuan, who was sitting next to Mrs. Man, and said simply: "No." There are so many people here today, you can't leave me for half a step, but don't be abducted into the tiger's cave like you did last time in Zhongshan. ”

Her voice was already crisp, and it was very clear in this slightly noisy hall, attracting the attention of the people on the next few tables, and the southern ladies opposite.

Huan Yuanyuan's face turned pale, she was about to step forward to talk when she saw Xie Yingran today, but Qian Mo took the first step to stop between her and Xie Yingran, and said in a respectful tone: "Miss Huan San, my young lady has contracted a cold since she went back last time and has not recovered, I am afraid that I will be sick to you." ”

Xie Yingran saw her, took two steps back, and when she heard Qian Mo's words, she only nodded at her, turned around and walked away.

Huan Yuanyuan was stunned in the local area, she saw Qian Mo in Zhongshan last time, and knew that she was Princess Chuchen's personal maid, but she didn't even want to think of a proper excuse, so she rejected herself for her master, so Xie Yingran already knew her calculations.

Hearing Yun Hui say this at this time, Huan Yuanyuan lowered her head a little weakly.

Yun Hui looked at Mrs. Man, who was sitting with a straight face, with a bright smile on her face, and said to her in a tired voice: "Sister Man, I want to discuss something with you." ”

When she first returned to Jianye, she had a very good relationship with Mrs. Man, and Yun Hui's temperament is like this, as long as she looks at it by herself, she is also bright and straightforward to others, which makes people feel close.

Besides, Mrs. Man's family background is also equivalent to Yun Hui, and she deliberately wooed and flattered, so in just a few days, the two became familiar as sisters, and Yun Hui accepted the two beautiful maids she gifted.

But now that the relationship between the two governments is rigid, after listening to Yun Hui's tone, Mrs. Man turned back vigilantly, "What advice does the county lord have?" ”

"Don't dare to advise." Yunhui smiled like a flower, took Xie Yingran's hand, and said to Mrs. Man: "My sister is delicate, and she was frightened in Zhongshan last time, since she wants to sit closer to Sister Jun, why don't you change positions with Mrs. Xian at this table?" ”

Mrs. Man's face was stunned, and she was speechless in surprise, it was enough to embarrass her to be in the second seat today, but she didn't expect Yunhui to give up another seat by herself.

Yun Hui was unconscious, and still said, "It's all because Yishantang made this Laoshzi rule, and I have to sit for so long later, and there is not even a person to talk to." ”

Her words bit the word "rules" a little hard, and just reminded Mrs. Man that if the seats are ranked according to the rank of the mansion, the Zhongyi Mansion was originally above the Zhenguo Mansion.

And in the past, Mrs. Man always had to prevaricate with Mrs. Xian before she sat down at the chief, and today she has lost the status of the first mansion, so she has not been polite to Mrs. Xian.

Mrs. Xian looked dignified, smiled softly and said softly: "Since Sister Ying wants to sit next to Nian Jun, it is better for Mrs. Man to fulfill the two of them." ”

The Zhongyi Mansion has been living under the Zhenguo Mansion for many years, but it is just because of the indifference to power, but he cannot be willing to be humiliated, and the marriage with the Xie family, but the Huan family has intervened, how can the ancestral family obey such an act?

The southern ladies sitting opposite looked at this side with great interest at this time, and Mrs. Lin had a faint smile in her eyes, she was naturally happy to see such a thing.

Mrs. Man's face was blue and red for a while, but she didn't say a word, and suddenly glanced at Jin Yi, who was sitting next to Yun Hui and hadn't spoken, a smile of unknown meaning appeared at the corner of her lips, and she stood up, "Mrs. Xian has said so, then let's change." She glanced at Jin Yi's eyes with a hint of meaning, "People from a family like me can't be wrong. ”

The maids of Yishantang were busy arranging the people in the two seats, and everyone didn't pay attention to her last sentence, but Jinyi faintly noticed that something was wrong, and a few thoughts turned in her heart, and she didn't know what she was referring to for a while.

After everyone sat down, Mama Yu said some opening remarks as usual, and explained the details of the accounts for the first half of the year, and then began to pledge donations.

Yun Hui sat as firmly as Mount Tai in the chief, seeing that the Huan family was deflated today, her heart was really comfortable, and she raised her voice and said to Mama Yu: "This year, our palace will give out three thousand taels. ”

Everyone was stunned, in previous years, the Zhenguo Mansion was only a thousand, but this year, the Chuchen Mansion will be quadrupled.

This is not a question of the amount of money, but the women's side is all a little money, but it is just a good idea, and the male guest is serious about doing good deeds.

It's just that the county lord of Yunhui is like this, and it is obvious that he is making the Zhenguo Mansion faceless.

But I heard her Shi Shiran smile and said: "Don't panic, everyone, I haven't finished talking yet." There are 1,000 of them from the Anbian Marquis' Mansion,...... Since the palace has taken the lead this year, and it is originally higher than the rank of the Zhenguo Prince, it is natural that the money will be more, just two thousand. ”

Mrs. Man's face was pale, and she did not speak with a calm face.

Next, according to this share, others naturally have no objections. (To be continued.) )
