Chapter 280: Charity Sale Raising Funds
Mrs. Fan is from the Ding family, her father-in-law is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, her arrival caused a commotion in Guangling City, the Yao family of the quasi-sixth princess is the home of military generals, and there is no one who has been in contact with each other for a long time, it is not easy to want to go up at this time, but the Fan Mansion and the Ding Mansion are different!
Second Uncle Ding is the prefect of Huzhou, and his wife and children were in his hometown before, and it is not too easy to communicate with his family, but the old lady and the prefect's wife now live in Guangling for a long time, and have many contacts with the gentry and magnates of Guangling City, and they can't cling to the Yao family, so it's good to go to Ding's house to make friends with Mrs. Fan, you know, the princess is not good! In addition to the main concubine, there are also side concubines, Liangdi, etc.
And the crown prince has not been established, who will be able to ascend to the throne in the future, it is still undecided, in case he stands in the wrong line, it is not a joke, and he is in the prime of life today, he is strong, and he may have decades to live, and he is about to stammer, and when the six princesses enter the door, it is not too late to come to the Yao family.
Although Mrs. Fan is dying, but his sons are in important positions, and the eldest grandson has not yet been engaged, if Mrs. Fan takes a fancy to her daughter as a daughter-in-law, are you afraid that she will not be able to climb the six princesses in the future? You know, the Ding sisters are classmates with Miss Yao!
Marrying into the Fan family, the benefits are not small......
There are many people who have wishful thinking, but the vast majority of people have their eyes on Fan Anbai, and there are many who fall on Fan Anyue, but no one wants to marry Fan Anyang.
Although, everyone knows that she is stupid! But there are not many people who have really seen her with their own eyes, and few people can compare her before and after the cure, so no one is sure that she is really good, although it is rumored that she was cured, but everyone only sees that Mrs. Fan did not recall her back to Beijing because of this, to marry Fan Anyang, the child who took out the marriage must not be too bad, at least it must be a promising son-in-law, otherwise Mrs. Fan was afraid that she would not waste time to think about it, so she directly refused.
Therefore, it was sent to Ding's house. The vast majority of them are families with young girls, and Mrs. Ding has sorted out all the people in Guangling City and the surrounding areas for the marriage of her children, so she is most clear about the people who sent the posts.
Mrs. Wang Ding Wenfu also brought her daughter and daughter-in-law over to the house, looking at the table full of posts. couldn't help laughing and said, "Look, none of us have as much face as her, so we came!" This post was relentless. ”
The second lady covered her sleeves and chuckled, "Come and take a look!" Ah, Brother Shun's daughter-in-law hasn't seen her yet......" The second lady didn't react to this title at once, and was stuck.
Ding Wenfu pulled his sister and said to Wang Jinshun's wife with a smile: "This is your little aunt, don't shout wrong!" She's not a little aunt. ”
The second lady didn't care, and explained to her two daughters-in-law, "It's the little aunt, don't shout the same as Brother Shun's daughter-in-law!" ”
The third lady sat aside. Picked up the tea and left the corners of his mouth, showing what his heart showed! It won't be long before our brother and daughter-in-law enter the door, so that they won't get confused!
Several new daughters-in-law were still very shy, and Ding Xiaoyan saw her mother and two aunts talking with posts. Under the pretext of going to the kitchen, he brought out several sisters-in-law and Fan Anyang, invited the eldest sister-in-law to see the lunch, and invited the second sister-in-law to the sewing room to urge the summer clothes, and then took Wang Jinyun's sister-in-law and Fan Anyang back to her room together.
Ding Xiaolou happened to come from the second gate, so he went to Ding Xiaoyan's house with them, "The fourth brother-in-law's classmate happened to come to the door as a guest. The fourth sister couldn't leave, and the old lady of the fifth sister's family occasionally contracted the cold, and she had to serve the sick and couldn't leave. ”
"Little aunt didn't leave so fast, not in a hurry, huh? And a letter?" Ding Xiaoyan saw that she was still holding a letter in her hand. asked curiously, but Ding Xiaolou pouted and said, "It was brought by my aunt." ”
"She's not dead yet?" Ding Xiaoyan exclaimed, Wang Jinyun raised his eyebrows curiously and asked Fan Anyang silently.
Ding Xiaolou's marriage has not yet been decided, and her fourth aunt was entrusted by her mother's sister. wanted to hire Ding Xiaolou as his daughter-in-law, this matter was originally a door, but because Yun Xian'er was jealous, the third lady changed her mind, and now she is not in a hurry to get engaged to the child, the Huang family sees that Ding Xiaolou has not yet been engaged, especially when she learns that Ding Xiaolou worships under Yan Yun's door, she is even more positive, the reputation of the Huang family has been sluggish for a long time, the Ding family has a good reputation, and another student of Yan Yun is accused of being the sixth princess!
If you can marry the Ding family, the Huang family has a bad reputation? There is no one to help in the DPRK? Don't worry!
For this reason, Mrs. Xu Si tried her best to help, and Mrs. Huang specially asked her father-in-law to help and bring her sister-in-law one or two. The Huang family may not be able to do much in Beijing, but with a low-level foreign official, there is still energy.
The third lady was very tired of her sister-in-law's positivity, and refused her repeated visits on the grounds that there was a funeral at home, but this could not stop her from sending letters to persuade her twice in three days.
Ding Xiaolou had a very bad impression of the Huang family, not because his aunt's wife eloped with someone, but because Yun Xian'er didn't have a word of anything, so he rashly troubled her. A cousin who has a good impression of his cousin, Ding Xiaolou felt a chill when he thought about it.
Mrs. Fan stayed at her mother's house for a few days, and then returned to Fan's house, because Ding's family had a funeral, and it was not good to hold a banquet, so Ding's second uncle built a sister, and might as well hold a banquet in Fan's house, first, to thank everyone for taking care of Fan's brothers and sisters, and second, to help the second brother raise funds.
Thankfully, most of the affected areas were in remote and sparsely populated mountainous areas and seaside, rather than in densely populated cities, but they were also impoverished and in need.
If you just wait for the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief, I am afraid that those victims will starve to death! Second Uncle Ding negotiated with the neighboring state capital to raise funds from the private sector, but who will do it? What is the name? Yao Du commanded Ben to be elected by everyone, but he was polite and bluntly said that his family needs to be low-key, otherwise the position of the princess may not be stable if she does not sit firmly!
In this way, the governors of the states are the best candidates, and Second Uncle Ding told the death of his brother's family early, although the junior died, but he was always the same clan, and he had to keep filial piety! It's not good to be in the limelight. The prefects of other states are secretly competing, wanting to fight for this first merit, but they are afraid of being accused of selling fame and reputation, and they are in a dilemma.
There are also other people's disciples who think of it, isn't Mrs. Fan's son worshipping under Yan Chi's disciple? Yan Chi and his apprentices were invited to raise bows for this banquet for auction fundraising.
This proposal was seconded by everyone, and Mrs. Fan felt that it was feasible, and asked Fan Anyue to discuss with the head of the academy and ask the dean of the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy to help, the current president of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting Gu Jianzhi is Yan Chi's apprentice and the senior brother of Fan Anyang's sister and brother.
When the chief learned of this, he readily agreed. Finally, a charity fundraiser was held directly in Guangling Academy, which was hosted by the head of the academy and Yan Chi, co-organized by the wives of the governors of various states, and assisted by Mrs. Fan and Yan Yun.
The bazaar was organized quickly. Saving people is like fighting fires, and the sooner you can raise money, the sooner you can buy supplies and send them to the disaster area.
Since it was hosted by the academy and Yan Chi, Yao Du was not afraid that his daughter would be too showy, and let her go with Yan Yun to help, which would also be regarded as a credit to her, and she would be able to have a better impression in front of the emperor in the future.
The second lady is the wife of the prefect of Huzhou, and she is obliged to come forward and hand over the family to the care of her two daughters-in-law. She took her youngest daughter and niece to the academy together.
The third lady refused to go, but Ding Xiaolou persuaded her, "This is a merit, and the people who help each other are the officials and wives in the officialdom, so maybe they can give my father more good karma." So the third lady took her little daughter with her. didn't forget to drag Ding Xiaoming and his wife away.
Ding Xiaoxiang and Ding Xiaozhen also went to help from time to time, Ding Wenfu left his daughter-in-law at home and took Wang Jinyun to get busy, Mrs. Fan also took Fan Anyang and Fan Anyue with him, and Du Yunxun also followed, the three of them are Yan Chi's new apprentices, and this time they are semi-public identities. It has attracted the attention of many people, especially Du Yunxun, who is the most eye-catching.
He was born well, and he is Du Xiang's grandson, and he has not yet been engaged, so the wives who have school-age daughters have brought their daughters to the academy to help.
Du Yunxun has since encountered an unprecedented female disaster. No matter what he was doing, there was someone to help him at all times, and girls of fifteen or sixteen were the most delicate, even if they were only delicate, because they were young and beautiful. Wang Jinyun and the others are always watching the show on the sidelines.
While the old men watched the show, they didn't forget to press Du Yunxun hard, to see if they could get more benefits from those nobles because of this! Du Yunxun's classmates and classmates were jealous and envious.
Mrs. Fan watched coldly, watching how Du Yunxun responded.
Fan Anyang's feeling is the most complicated!
Although in appearance, Du Yunxun is definitely older than her, but in terms of psychological age, she should be older than him, so when she looks at him, she often unconsciously thinks of herself as a big sister, and she is loved by girls.
But Du Yunxun is a person, an excellent and good person, look at him, he has a good family background, a good birth, and talent, how can anyone not see it? Right! But his goodness was seen by others! She felt weird and uncomfortable again, she didn't know what was wrong with her!
Yan Chi provided ten paintings of his predecessors in his collection, the mountain chief also provided three as charity sales, Mrs. Ding donated the white jade Guanyin, and Mrs. Su also asked her granddaughter-in-law to send a sandalwood floor-to-ceiling screen, on which was a scene of Foguang Temple carved by a well-known carpenter in the previous dynasty.
Yan Chi and Shan Juecheng and Gu Jianzhi cooperated in a pastoral Hexiang, Du Yunxun also presented a new painting of Yan Chi also said that he picked chrysanthemums in the east cage, and Fan Anyue and Fan Anyang cooperated to paint a picture of ten scenes of Guangling Academy.
There are also jewels and jade and other things donated by the wives of various prefectures, and the auction is held in the academy, and the auction is divided into two seats for men and women on the same day, and the auction is presided over by the most eloquent gentleman in the academy.
A total of 720,000 taels of silver were raised, which were purchased by the state government to purchase grain, seeds and other materials for post-disaster reconstruction and people's livelihood, and sent them to the disaster area again.
When the emperor learned of this, he vigorously praised the officials who rewarded this son-in-law's strength, and the imperial pen personally wrote a plaque in Sheji to reward their contributions, and publicly praised the head of Guangling Academy and all the people in the academy.
Yan Chi and the others did not fall behind, and the emperor specially indicated that he wanted to see the paintings of Yan Chi and his disciples.
In this piece of reward, Duduyun was left behind.
I don't know that person has a lot of things, he led his wife and concubine to Yan's house before Yun Dufei, and stabbed Yan Chi's qi illness in front of the emperor, and the emperor's will leaked Yundu Fei alone.
Yun Du Fei was so angry that he fainted.
Yang Shiyilang also received a letter from his grandfather, asking why he didn't participate in the grand event?
