Chapter 326: Fundraising

The auction of Linglong Tiyì is not only held in the capital, but also in Jiangnan.

However, before that, the queen mother in the palace held a fundraising event. This time, the fundraising was mainly to invite the wives and ladies of officials above the fourth grade in the capital to participate.

And the queen mother also directly stated on the post that the purpose of this banquet is to raise funds for disaster relief.

Of course, fundraising is only a part, the queen also took out a few sets of her own jewelry for auction, if there is a fancy although the bid, the highest price will win.

The money from the auction will also be sent to the disaster area for disaster relief.

The emperor also praised the queen's approach, although these ladies did not raise much money, but the mosquito legs are also meat, the main thing is this heart.

Who knows, this time the queen raised a total of more than 69,700 taels of silver, plus some gold and silver jewelry, it is estimated that there will be ** million taels of silver.

It's quite a lot of silver.

After the queen came out like this, the ministers of the previous dynasty could not fall behind their own wives, and the next morning, before the emperor spoke, they all stood up and said that they would do a little bit for the victims.

So they also raised money one after another, and some ministers jokingly wanted to ask for the emperor's calligraphy and painting, but the emperor refused. Jokes, you want calligraphy and painting, right? Then when the day comes, let's go to the Muyuanzhai auction.

The emperor can be stingy now, he wants to give the word and the cliff to exchange for silver.

However, men are much more generous than women, and the emperor raised a total of more than 400,000 taels of silver.

When the wind really blows, it will be the private fundraising and auction this time. With the previous momentum and publicity, many businesses in the capital are gearing up to participate.

For the sake of fame, and secondly, there is naturally a plaque given by the emperor himself.

When it came to the day of fundraising, Muyuan Zhai was crowded.

Of course, those who can come to Mu Yuanzhai are also in the way of buying a number through guΓ². Mu Yuanzhai's tickets have been speculated and are hard to find, so before the auction is held, just selling the number has already made a small profit.

The day of the auction. Linglong was in confinement, so she didn't have the opportunity to participate in such a lively scene, but it is said to be very spectacular, and there are small objects specially designed by the emperor in the auction. There are also some large items, and what is even more remarkable is that there is a one-person tall dressing mirror.

The dressing mirrors of this era are all bronze mirrors, and they don't look clear at all, but this dressing mirror is very clear. It's like you're standing across from each other.

After those ladies and ladies saw this thing, their eyes were hot, and they heard that the carving inlaid on it was painted by the emperor himself, and it was completed by the master of Mu Yuanzhai alone.

As soon as the dressing mirror came out, it really attracted the attention of the ladies, and I heard that this is the only one, and those ladies and ladies almost didn't fight, and finally this object was bought by the Hu family, a wealthy businessman in the capital.

This wealthy merchant has the best embroidery village in the capital, and the clothes in it are in short supply. If Mu Yuanzhai is now the leader of the furniture industry, then this gold embroidery cliff is the first.

There are so many things at the auction. The auction couldn't be finished in the morning, so Linglong had people prepare snacks and fruits early.

These dim sum have also become something that those who come to the auction nod their heads and praise, knowing that this is made by Muyuanzhai's pastry shop, they also want to order some first.

After Linglong knew about this, she smiled proudly, the pastries were specially prepared by her, and her pastry room would also take advantage of this auction to become popular.

In the afternoon, the auction was mainly of the emperor's calligraphy and paintings, as well as a pair of ruby jewelry from the queen's mother. The jewel was said to be the best of the queen's dowry, and it was now put up for auction.

As soon as the jewelry came out, it immediately blinded the eyes of the ladies, and was finally bought by the Huang family's gold shop at a price of 100,000 yuan.

And the emperor's calligraphy and painting were also developed in the Huang family and the Hu family.

At last. The Huang family and the Hu family donated another 100,000 taels of silver, and the emperor's calligraphy and paintings were also robbed by these two families.

When Linglong heard about it, she smiled.

It seems that this auction was held very smoothly, and the emperor gained a lot of silver as a result, and there will be a good arrangement for this disaster in Jiangnan.

It's just that this time the emperor will definitely send someone to Jiangnan, so will he send someone there?

Linglong thought for a moment. thought of Li Zhuoran, Li Zhuoran has the means and flexible brain, and the key is the emperor's trust, presumably this matter should be handed over to him.

Just as for when to go? Li Zhuoran hasn't told her yet, so there should be a few days left.

Thinking that Li Zhuoran hadn't been back for a long time, and was going out again, Linglong felt very uncomfortable, not because she was hypocritical, but at this time, everyone wanted her husband to accompany her more.

As a result, when Li Zhuoran came back, he saw Linglong sitting in front of the window and looking outside, Li Zhuoran knew that Linglong would only sit here and look outside in a daze when she was in a bad mood.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhuoran stepped forward and sat down in front of her and said, "But what happened?" ”

"Are you going to Gangnam?" Linglong looked back at Li Zhuoran.

"Who sued you?" Li Zhuoran's eyes were a little unsightly, there were few people in the house who knew about this matter, and he also gave orders not to tell Linglong.

"I guess." Linglong looked down at Li Zhuoran holding her hand, and then a tear fell, she seemed to have become very fragile?

In my previous life, I didn't cry so much.

"You don't tell me anything." Linglong smiled and shook her head, "I don't like that. ”

"Linglong ......" Li Zhuoran was just about to speak, but Linglong was already lying in his arms, "Don't say anything, just hug me for a while, just for a while." ”

Li Zhuoran sighed, "I'm sorry. ”

He doesn't seem to know any words or actions to express his guilt for Linglong except for saying sorry.

I originally thought that when I came back from the field this time, I would never leave her in the future, and I would not let her be alone again. But he didn't expect that before he came back, he would leave again before she came out of confinement.

"I'll go and ask the emperor to resign tomorrow, and I'll retire this matter." Li Zhuoran touched Linglong's hair with his hand and said, "I was injured on the battlefield last time, and I haven't healed yet." ”

"Wonderful?" Linglong sat up from Li Zhuoran's arms all of a sudden, "But it's uncomfortable there?" I'll ask Gu Qingbo to come over and ask her to give you another check-up. ”

Looking at the little woman in front of her looking at herself nervously with tears in her eyes, Li Zhuoran felt that her heart was about to melt.

"Delicate ......"

"Hmm......"

Recently, this guy seems to be kissing himself more and more, Linglong thought to herself. (To be continued.) )
