Chapter 200: Slander
The fundraising meeting is not a secret, after obtaining the consent of Zhao Yi and Meng San, An Ruolan made a small calculation.
If you want to say that there are rich people in Shengjing City, it is really impossible to count, as the capital of the dynasty, the most prosperous and developed town, there is no shortage of rich and powerful people here. Those wealthy nobles, rich and wealthy families, not to mention the men who are in charge of the house, or the women and ladies in the back house, are more or less private, but most of the money of the ladies and wives is used for entertainment and dressing, or to show off, and there are not many who do practical things, which can be said to be completely extravagant and wasteful.
Rescue the northwest is a major event for the country and the people, and this is not just a matter for the man in charge of the front yard.
An Ruolan felt that the oil and water on the wives and wives could be fished out without mercy.
It's just that it is much more difficult to get the ladies and wives in the backyard to come up with private money than to persuade the gentlemen in the front yard to pay.
After all, there is no such precedent, and women are also stingier than men.
In order to let the ladies and wives of Shengjing City take the initiative to take out the silver, An Ruolan really spent some brains, and she came up with a method, but she was not sure if it would work.
With the idea of giving it a try, she went to find Mrs. An.
Turning around the corner and pulling a lot of some and nothing, An Ruolan knocked on the side and said: "Grandmother, I went out with my sisters a few days ago, and I met Cousin Yi and Third Brother Meng, and they are with many sons." ”
"Oh?" Mrs. An chuckled, the old god was stirring the rosary on the ground, pretending not to know her careful thoughts, and said with a smile: "It should be discussing the matter of the fundraiser, this matter has been spread all over Shengjing, and I have heard people praise the two of them." ”
An Ruolan's eyes lit up. Suppressed his excitement and asked, "Grandmother also knows about the fundraiser?" ”
"Yes, now there is no one in Shengjing City who doesn't know, as long as those ladies and wives get together, they will compare how much silver they are going to donate." The old lady sighed helplessly.
An Ruolan was secretly happy, it seemed that as she guessed, the wives and wives of each family were more energetic again.
That's what she wants.
The smart black eyes turned around, and An Ruolan looked at the Buddha beads in the old lady's hand. Pretended to say casually: "Since I came back from Puji Temple." My grandmother became more and more convinced of Buddhism, and the Buddha skewers never left her every day. ”
Hearing this, the old lady raised her eyes and looked at her with a smile. said: "If you have something to say, just say it, if you bend around, you won't pay for your grandmother." ”
An Ruolan's face was hot, and she jumped up and grabbed her grandmother's arm. smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from my grandmother." ”
The old lady glanced at her with a smile, and then sighed in a low voice: "Since listening to Master Chanzhen's trip to the northwest. I've always been uncomfortable in my heart, always thinking about what to do, but we women really don't have any ability. I had no choice but to ask the Buddha to bless the suffering people in the northwest. ”
As he spoke, he folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name.
An Ruolan was quite touched in her heart, and she also recited the Buddha's name sincerely.
I heard the old lady say again: "I know that you have a little bit of a fundraiser in your heart." Let's talk to my grandmother. ”
The straightforward words made An Ruolan embarrassed. She said honestly: "Grandmother, I just thought, we can also donate silver to the northwest, there are so many people in the power, there are so many ladies and wives in Shengjing City, as long as everyone comes up with a little silver, we can let many affected families in the northwest eat." ”
"You're right." The old lady nodded appreciatively, relieved by her intelligence and kindness.
Then he shook his head and sighed: "Although the idea is good, it is not practical, if the man in charge of the house gives money, which woman in the backyard is willing to post the money?" It's too hard to get the women in the back house to take the silver. ”
An Ruolan naturally knew that it was not easy, otherwise she would not have been troubled for so long.
She said what was in her mind, "But as long as someone takes the lead, someone will always follow suit, right?" The ladies and wives are also very good-looking, and this kind of thing of doing good deeds to keep a reputation is something that many people are willing to do. ”
The old lady pondered for a moment, then bowed her head and said, "It's such a reason, it's just a ......" She paused, "It's not easy to find someone at the beginning, you have to have a reputation that can be convincing......"
Before the words were finished, An Ruolan said happily: "Grandmother, aren't you the most suitable candidate?" ”
The sparkling little eyes made Mrs. An cry and laugh.
"You!" Knocking on her granddaughter's little head, the old lady smiled helplessly: "It's just that she will find trouble for her grandmother!" ”
"Only those who can work harder." An Ruolan smiled and fell into her grandmother's arms.
The old lady laughed at her appearance, and pinched her little nose, but her mind turned quickly.
Worried about something, the old lady couldn't sit still, she had always been resolute, and immediately went out to find a group of old sisters to discuss.
After An Ruolan was repeatedly ordered not to spread the word, he was driven back to the room.
But there was a matter on her mind, An Ruolan was happy in her heart, but when she returned to the room and saw An Ruoyan with red eyes, her good mood suddenly disappeared.
"What's wrong? Is An Ruodan bullying you again? With a frown, she asked angrily.
The first thought that came to mind was that An Ruodan had found fault again.
An Ruojin and An Ruoke were also there, both of them were frowning, their faces were full of anger, An Ruoke was anxious, and said first: "It's not An Ruoyun yet, she told An Ruodan about our going to Taibai Building, and then An Ruodan complained to the second uncle and Erniang, saying that we would give the leftover snacks to the brothers to eat, and Erniang gave Sister Yan a lecture." ”
was mentioned as sad, An Ruoyan sobbed low again, her little face full of grievances.
"Nonsense! I'm just kidding, where is the leftover snack for my brothers?! An Ruodan is a bloody squirt! An Ruolan had a fierce temperament, and immediately became angry when she heard the words, her fair little face sank suddenly, and her eyes were as cold as ice.
If she knows those swear words in the market, she will explode into foul language.
"I explained, but my father and mother didn't believe it at all, and An Ruodan went to sue the second brother." The more An Ruoyan spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and she began to cry.
"Okay, okay, stop crying." An Ruojin's eyes were red in distress, and she hugged someone to comfort her.
"No, this matter can't be settled like this, I can't let An Ruodan be wronged, I'm going to find the second uncle and second aunt to reason!" An Ruolan slapped the table and was about to rush out.
"I'm going too!" An Ruoke also shouted and followed.
"Huh! You wait! An Ruojin hurriedly called the angry two, patted An Ruoyan in her arms, and frowned and said, "Don't be impulsive, I'm worried that An Ruodan will say that we will unite to lie and deceive people." ”
Calming down a little, An Ruolan snorted: "We have witnesses, the second child of Taibai Building, and the driver who drove the car that day, all of whom can testify." ”
An Ruojin shook her head, "For now, let's go and explain to my brothers first, and Sister Yun, what did she say to An Ruodan, I don't think Sister Yun will reverse black and white." ”
An Ruoke was rarely clever, and said: "It must be An Ruodan who took the words out of context and deliberately smeared us." ”
These words caused An Ruojin and several people to look at each other in surprise, and An Ruolan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister Ke also knows what it means to take things out of context? ”
Hearing this, An Ruoyan burst into tears and laughed.
An Ruoke's face turned red and muttered in a low voice: "I have also read a book recently, but I can't let you compare to the past." ”
It made a few people laugh again.
After such a fuss, the atmosphere was suddenly much soothed, and the four sisters summed it up and decided to explain it to a few brothers first.
The first person to look for was An Wensheng, as soon as he entered the door, he saw An Wenqi staring with a black face, An Ruolan and An Ruoke glared back unceremoniously, An Ruoyan was pulled by An Ruojin and walked behind, hanging her head and not looking at people.
An Wensheng had already heard what An Wenqi said, and probably knew what was going on, but he always felt that there was a misunderstanding, and his sisters came to the door, and he just asked clearly.
Bringing his four younger sisters into the door, An Wensheng asked softly, "What the hell is going on?" ”
He didn't believe his sisters would do anything like that.
The trust and gentle words moved the four sisters for a while, and their expressions instantly became well-behaved and supple.
Seeing this scene, An Wenqi was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth, they are all brothers, and the difference is too big!
An Ruolan was the first to speak, and said with a little grievance: "Big brother, don't listen to people's nonsense, the dim sum I gave you is not leftover!" ”
"That's it! Obviously, I picked a good food box in advance, how could it be to eat the leftovers! An Ruoke shouted dissatisfiedly.
It's not that she said good things, she really thinks that everything she gives to her brothers is good, and many of them are her favorite food!
An Ruojin grabbed the two little ones who were slightly excited, and said solemnly and sincerely: "Big brother, second brother, we made a joke, but we definitely didn't do anything like that, I don't know what An Ruodan has heard, but what we haven't done is what we haven't done, if the brothers don't believe it, you can ask Sister Yun, or the second child of Taibai Building." ”
Hearing this, An Wenqi couldn't care about being angry, his heart was shocked, and he subconsciously looked at An Ruoyan.
Seeing his sister's aggrieved and red eyes, he felt a burst of guilt in his heart, yes, his sisters have always been well-behaved and sensible, and they would not do such a stubborn thing, it was he who mistakenly believed the slander.
Slamming the table hard, An Wenqi gritted his teeth and said: "It must be An Ruodan who deliberately reversed black and white, I can't spare her!" ”
An Wensheng glanced at him disapprovingly, and persuaded: "What are you talking about with a girl's family?" ”
"Yes, third brother, let's deal with this matter, we will definitely help Sister Yan get justice." An Ruojin smiled faintly.
An Ruoyan timidly glanced at her own brother and whispered, "As long as my brothers believe in us." ”
The soft voice made An Wenqi's heart warm, and with a light cough, he pulled down his jaw and said to An Ruoyan: "It's my brother who misunderstood you, don't be like my brother." ”
An Ruoyan blushed slightly, and finally smiled again. (To be continued)
