"Girl, do you want paper money or candles?" The boss greeted at the counter.

"I don't want anything, it's a tael of silver, you paste a boxy cardboard box for me to donate."

Lan Xin put the silver on the table.

When the boss looked at it, he gave him a tael of silver for a cardboard box, which was enough for ten. Hurriedly said: "Okay, mine will give you paste." ”

"Remember to be a little stronger." Shen Lanxin admonished.

"Okay, don't worry."

After a while, the boss's hands were sharp, and a donation box was pasted.

Shen Lanxin held it in his arms and weighed it, "Yes, thank you boss." ”

"Girl, walk slowly." The boss sent her out with a smile.

With this donation box, how can the people of Tai'an donate some money, no matter what, try it first.

Shen Lan shouted as he walked: "Zhenxi disaster relief, donations are welcome, Zhenxi is affected by disasters, donations are welcome."

At this time, some people heard the voice and came over, and threw five cents in the donation box, Shen Lan saw that although the donation was a little small, it was better than nothing, and it finally had some effect, she continued to shout, and it was street by street, more and more people were donating, five wen, ten wen, one or two, how much to donate, at the end of the day, a total of almost two hundred taels of donations received, Shen Lanxin's voice was a little dumb.

By this time, it was getting dark.

The streets of the entire Tai'an Town almost let him walk all over the place, and he only received five hundred taels of silver, which was a drop in the ocean. There is no way, the town is too small, and the ability of the people is limited, what can I do? Shen Lan's heart suddenly fell into deep thought.

At this time, I heard a shout not far away: "Uncle, walk slowly, welcome Uncle to come often." ”

Shen Lan's heart suddenly had an idea. "There it is."

Instead of asking them to donate money, it is better to take the initiative to ask for it, there are the most rich people here, and they would rather spend money to find a girl than throw the money into her box.

Shen Lanxin entered the Qinglou without hesitation, and suddenly a strong aroma came to his nose, Shen Lanxin subconsciously blocked his nose, and saw that the building was full, the flowers were brocade, the red and green danced, the jade beads were shaking, and the girls were all dressed up to please the guests.

At this time, Shen Lanxin felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him, yes, it was the proprietress here, Jin Niang.

When Jin Niang saw that a woman came in, she was still holding a box, and immediately looked her up and down, with a look of novelty, she twisted her thin waist and walked over.

"I said, girl, are you in the wrong place? We don't entertain women. ”

"As long as you have money, what kind of male and female guests will you share?" Lan Xin raised his eyebrows slightly. Shen Lanxin knew what kind of place Qinglou was, and all major things were solved with silver.

Then he took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his bosom: "Go!" Call me the most famous girl you've got here. ”

Jin Niang is naturally a person who sees money, and when she saw that this girl was really generous, she immediately agreed happily.

Shen Lanxin came to the room on the second floor, and after a while, a beautiful girl pushed the door and walked in.

"It's really a girl, I just heard Jin Niang say let me accompany a girl, I still don't believe it." Yan'er covered her mouth and smiled.

Shen Lanxin smiled awkwardly at her.

"The little girl's name is Yan'er, she is the top brand here, I don't know what the girl is called?" Yan'er's voice is as tender as water.

"My surname is Shen." Lan Xin stood at the table with a suitcase.

"Hello Miss Shen, Yan'er bowed slightly and bowed politely.

"I don't know if Miss Shen has anything to ask Yan'er to help with."

Lan was heartbroken, "How do you know that I have something to ask you for help?" ”

Yan'er covered her mouth and smiled, "All the men who come here are looking for fun, and you came here to call a top card from a girl's house, is it also to pass the time?" Besides, you have been standing since the moment I entered the door, and you have not sat down, presumably this matter is very urgent for you, Miss Shen, I am right? ”

Shen Lan heard this, this girl was really amazing, she didn't speak yet, she knew the purpose of her coming.

"Miss Yan'er, she is really meticulous and observant." Lan Xin couldn't help but praise.

She has been in Hongchen for many years, has read countless people, and has dealt with many people, so she will naturally observe words and feelings.

"Miss Shen has won the award, Miss Shen, please take a seat." After speaking, Yan'er stretched out a hand and made a gesture of please. Then Yan'er poured another cup of tea for Lan Xin, put it in front of her, and then sat down herself.

He asked, "What does Miss Shen want me to help with?" ”

Shen Lan saw that she was a happy person, so he got straight to the point, "Then I'll say it directly, do you know about the disaster in Zhenxi Village?" ”

Yan'er nodded and said, "You know, did the girl ask me to donate?" ”

Shen Lanxin shook his head, "It's not for you to donate, it's for you to ask those men to donate." ”

Yan'er's expression froze.

Lan Xin saw that she was hesitant and thought she was reluctant. Busy said: "I won't let you help in vain, after the deed is done, I will pay you." ”

As soon as Shen Lanxin finished saying this, Yan'er's expression was a little displeased, "I don't like to hear this girl, although Yan'er is a Hongchen woman, but she is also a person, how can she not know the word righteousness, I will help you with this favor, but the little woman will not ask for a penny." ”

Shen Lan didn't expect her to say this, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, "I didn't expect that Miss Yan'er was also a lover, I really shouldn't treat others with myself." ”

Yan'er understood the righteousness so well, and she was immediately impressed.

Yan'er smiled slightly, "Where, I also want to do some meager help for those suffering people, you wait here for a while, I'll go." ”

So Yan'er got up and walked out of the door and went downstairs.

After a while, Shen Lanxin heard the sound of a gong in the room.

Yan'er stood on the stage in the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, uncle, welcome to our Lixiang Courtyard, the little girl Yan'er has a few words to say to you."

Hearing the sound, everyone in the audience looked at the stage one after another.

"Everyone knows that the past Zhenxi Village has long been washed away by the rain for several days, and many people have lost their homes because of this, Yan'er wants to help them, but Yan'er is really more than enough to do it by herself, so I hope that all the sons and uncles here can be generous and contribute to Zhenxi Village, and enthusiastically donate silver."

When the sister Miao'er in the audience heard this, she also took Yan'er's words and continued,

"Yes, what Yan'er said is very true, this is a matter of accumulating virtue and blessings, besides, the guests who come to us are all very generous, and who won't donate, isn't it, Boss Lin?"

Miao'er snorted at the oily-haired man beside her.

The man smiled, "What Miao'er said is, then I will pay five hundred taels." ”

"Boss Lin is really generous, I thank Boss Lin for the people of Zhenxi Village." Yan'er on the stage deliberately raised her voice.

"Just five hundred taels want to take the limelight? I'll give a thousand taels. Then a boy raised his hand.

"I'll give you one thousand and one hundred taels." Someone shouted again.

"I'll give you a thousand and a half white taels."

The people in the audience raised their hands enthusiastically, and in this kind of scene, the more they donate, the more they have face, so these people are scrambling for fear of losing face.

The whole donation will suddenly be like an auction.

Shen Lanxin listened to the movement outside in the room, this Yan'er girl was really powerful, and in a few words, she asked those people to obediently take out the silver.

In the past, the Qinglou woman was just a person who regarded money as her life and saw money, because in their eyes, they only spoke about one word for money, and they could do anything for money, and just before, Yan'er's actions completely subverted her thoughts, it seems that prostitutes are also divided into three, six, nine, etc., or that sentence, you really can't look at people on the surface.

This lasted less than half an hour, and Yan'er returned to the room with a stack of silver tickets.

"Girl, this is 200,000 taels of silver tickets, you take it." Yan'er handed the silver ticket to her.

Shen Lanxin couldn't help but exclaim: "Just like this, I will be paid 200,000 taels, and those people are too rich." ”

Yan'er scoffed: "Those people spend hundreds of taels of silver like flowing water on weekdays, and this money is nothing to them." ”

She is right, those who come to Qinglou to drink flower wine are either merchants or dignitaries, how can ordinary people have spare money to come here to find fun.

"Anyway, Miss Yan'er, thank you so much." Lan thanked her from the bottom of his heart.

Yan'er hurriedly said: "It's just a gesture, don't take it to heart, I am very happy to be able to help so many people." ”

Her words made Shen Lan's heart feel relieved, Yan'er is indeed a loving and righteous person.

It was already dark, Gao Qian stood at the door and looked in the direction of the town, but Lan Xin didn't come back.

At this time, Soho came out of the account with a cup of tea.

"Your Highness, have a cup of tea!"

"It's all this time, why hasn't she come back yet?" Gao Qian worried.

Su Ho said lightly: "Your Highness, don't worry, Lan Xin is not a child anymore, she is very measured, Your Highness should go into the house and wait." ”

Gao Qian was puzzled, what was the method she said? Maybe Soho can know, after all, the two of them are good sisters and know each other, so they should be able to guess what method Lan Xin used to solve this matter.

So, he glanced at Soho, "What do you think Lan Xin will come up with?" ”

Hearing him ask, Soho couldn't help but smile. "Lan Xin is full of strange ideas, and his methods are often unexpected, and I can't guess them."

Gao Qian was silent, and even she didn't know.

"I'm really convinced of you, you will be waiting here stupidly, maybe people will be at ease here."

At this time, King Qing lazily leaned on the pillar supporting the tent and mocked.

Gao Qian glanced at him at this moment, and said lightly: "With my understanding of Lan Xin, she is not an irresponsible person. ”

King Qing raised his eyebrows. "Do you know her well? How long have you known each other? Although King Qing's tone was very cold, it still made people listen with a little more disdain.

"Know better than you." King Xiang was concise and to the point.

Su Ho interjected and said: "His Royal Highness King Qing, although Lan Xin has a big temperament, she has always been very serious in her work, I believe in her." ”

"Okay, then the king will wait and see." After saying that, he turned around and left.

"It's not early, you can go back and rest." After speaking, Gao Qian also entered the account.

Soho looked at him, this was the first time she had been alone with him, and for a whole day, although he didn't ask anything about himself or gossip with her, it was already very satisfying for Soho.

Walking out of the Qinglou, Shen Lan touched the silver ticket in his arms, and said to himself: The silver is solved, but where is there free labor, it's time to find a place to rest for a night, and think of a way tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Shen Lan couldn't wait to buy a gong, stood on the side of the road, and kept knocking, trying to attract people to it.

Since you want to find a free one, you have to work the people, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, Lan Xin decided to seize this point, let them volunteer, volunteer to work. This was a solution that she had thought about for a night, and she had broken her head.

Shen Lanxin kept beating the gong, and people gathered around when they heard the sound, and after a while, Shen Lanxin was surrounded by water.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Shen Lanxin, I am from Fengcheng, and we all know that the rain in the past few days has caused the people of Zhenxi Village to be flooded, and the houses have been destroyed, and in an instant, the whole village no longer exists, so that the people of Zhenxi Village have suffered great harm and suffering."

Speaking of this, the people around nodded and exchanged heads.

Shen Lanxin looked at the expressions of the people around him and felt that there seemed to be a play, so he continued to lobby.

"Although the imperial court helped the villagers to move to a new address, but now the new houses are just being built, and the people who have been affected by the disaster are still living in thin and simple tents, and now it will be autumn in a month, but it will take at least a month to build the new houses, even if our workers do not sleep day and night to work, they can only shorten the construction period by ten days, and now the weather is gradually getting cooler, I don't want those people to suffer mental pain and physical pain at the same time.

So the big brothers and uncles of Tai'an, I don't need you to pay, as long as you have the strength, you can build a house, everyone is united, twisted into a rope, to help the people of Zhenxi Village tide over the difficulties, only in this way can the people of Zhenxi Village live in the new house as soon as possible. ”

Shen Lanxin's mouth was dry, and at this time, the crowd suddenly dispersed.

Shen Lan saw that everyone turned around and left, so he hurriedly shouted: "Hey, don't go, please help, don't go." ”

The more she shouted, the faster people walked.

She struggled to talk and tongue, moved with affection, and knew reason, but she still couldn't move them, not even as good as a Qinglou woman, is the current people's hearts really so cold? She couldn't believe it! Seeing them leave without hesitation, Shen Lan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

A little disappointed, she sat down on the side of the road with her head down, and looked up at the sky, the sun was dazzling, and she blocked it with her hand.

It's been a day, they must be waiting for my good news, hey, I didn't let them donate money, just make a contribution, why are they all scared and ran away, and the gongs were bought in vain. Lan Xin sat on the side of the road and couldn't help but complain.

After a while, Shen Lan didn't have any hope anymore, and decided to go back, so she got up, patted her clothes, and before she had walked a few steps, she heard someone shouting behind her: "Girl, wait for us ......"

Hearing this, Shen Lan turned his head violently and saw a group of forty or fifty young or old men, each carrying tools, trotting towards her.

Shen Lan was stunned and stood motionless.

"Girl, the people of Zhenxi Village are also the people of our Tai'an, if something happens to them, how can we stand idly by?" The leading man, with a shovel on his shoulder, said to her.

At this time, the man next to him also said: "Yes, a girl has come from all over the world to help the disaster, and we have no reason to refuse as old men, so we listened to the girl's words, so we couldn't wait to go home to get tools, and followed the girl to Zhenxi Village, hoping that we people can help them live in a new house as soon as possible." ”

When Shen Lan heard this, it turned out that they were going home to get tools, so I said, how can people be so indifferent and ruthless now.

She was so excited that she didn't know what to say, her face couldn't hide her excitement, and she bowed deeply to everyone: "Thank you, I thank you for the people of Zhenxi Village." ”

So everyone followed Shen Lanxin in groups and walked straight to the direction of Xinzhen West Village, and she happily beat the gong while walking along the way.

Passers-by along the way heard the sound of gongs, and they couldn't help but look at these people with curiosity, and they didn't know what was going on.

In less than half an hour, Shen Lanxin took a group of people to Xinzhen West Village,

At this time, everyone heard the sound of the gong and looked towards the source of the sound.

Xiao Ba looked from afar, and when he saw that it was Shen Lanxin, he shouted, "Miss Shen is back." ”

Gao Qian in the tent heard that Shen Lanxin was back, so he hurriedly went out to look, only to see Shen Lanxin carrying a gong and leading a huge team to slowly rush towards this side, the scene was extremely spectacular.

Gao Qian's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and the smile on her face slowly bloomed for her.

"She really didn't disappoint me."

"Lord Wang, Miss Shen is back." Ashin stumbled in.

"Come back, come back, what are you panicking about?" King Qing looked calm.

"Lord, listen!" Ashin held his breath.

"Listen to what?" King Qing said impatiently.

"The gong outside, it's Miss Shen who came back with a group of people." Ashin said excitedly.

"A group of people?" After hearing this, King Qing hurriedly got up and went out.

Sure enough, behind Shen Lan's heart was a group of nearly forty or fifty men, carrying hoes, shovels and construction tools.

King Qing's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he said to himself: "I really underestimated her." ”

"Lan Xin, what did you come up with to bring so many people back." Soho asked incredulously

She looked at Soho and said, "I'll talk about this matter when I have time, and then she looked at Gao Qian and said, "Now that I have brought all the people, I am waiting for you to listen to your dispatch, as long as you give an order, they can do it immediately." ”

Gao Qian nodded. "Okay, without further ado, fifth brother, they'll be handed over to you."

Shen Lanxin turned his head and immediately said to everyone, "Folks, you just follow King Qing, everything is under his command, and the rest depends on you." ”

"Okay, we'll listen to the girl." Everyone shouted in unison.

"Lan Xin, let's go inside." Gao Qian said.

"Hmm." Lan Xin entered the tent

Su He was just about to follow in, but was stopped by Gao Qian, "Miss Su, please stay away, this king has something to say to Lan Xin." ”

Su He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Su He didn't expect King Xiang to ruthlessly stop her at the door, it seems that in his heart, there is a difference between her and Shen Lanxin. In this way, she waited quietly outside, full of loss.

Shen Lan was confused. "What are you going to tell me?"

"Don't say anything?" Gao Qian responded lightly, and then sat down.

"Don't say anything?" Lan Xin was even more confused, "Why should you let her avoid it if you don't say anything?" ”

"How can there be so many why?" Gao Qian was impatient with her dwelling on this issue.

Seeing that he refused to say, Shen Lanxin was not in the mood to continue to ask, she still had a lot to say to Gao Qian, how could she still have time to ask about Suho.

"Forget it, don't talk about pulling down, what do you think I brought back to you this time?" Shen Lanxin pretended to be mysterious.

Just when Gao Qian was puzzled! She took out the 200,000 taels in her arms and a bag of broken silver and put them in front of Gao Qian.

"Oh, this is 200,000 taels of silver, it should be enough!"

"Two hundred thousand?" Gao Qian looked at the stack of silver tickets and a bag of broken silver and was stunned, how did you raise so much money in a short period of time? ”

Seeing Lan Xin pursed his lips, his face was proud. "Guess what."

Shen Lanxin couldn't guess when he saw his dazed look, so he smiled and said, "I'll tell you the truth, this bag of broken silver was raised by me after walking all over the streets of Tai'an Town." And the 200,000 taels of silver tickets I entrusted to an Oiran named Yan'er, who helped me unconditionally and encouraged those guests who drank flower wine to donate, without her, I would not have been able to raise these 200,000 taels. ”

Gao Qian is incredible.

"You actually went to the Qinglou, no wonder Miss Su said that you are full of strange ideas, it seems that what you said is true."

"How? I've helped you so much, how can you thank me? Lan Xin folded his arms in front of his chest and stood in front of him in a proud posture and said.

At this time, Gao Qian got up and slightly curled the corners of his lips. "The conditions are up to you, and it doesn't hurt for me to make a promise."

Shen Lanxin smiled when he heard this, "Think beautifully." ”

Gao Qian saw her careless appearance, slightly disappointed, could it be that she didn't look down on me, and tried again: "What, you don't want to send it to the door?" Mo Feilan dislikes me. ”

"Huh...... When did Gao Qian send himself out so easily, and delivered it to my door, I was really flattered, I didn't dare to accept it, I didn't dare to accept it. Lan Xin waved his hand and teased.

Gao Qian was stunned for a moment, as if he was unwilling: "Why don't you dare to accept it?" ”

At this time, Lan Xin yawned, "How can there be so many whys, don't make fun of me, I didn't sleep much last night in order to find a way, I'm almost sleepy now, I'm going to rest." After saying that, he walked out of the tent.

Joke? He was serious, but she thought he was joking, Shen Lanxin, when will you be able to open up.

As soon as she returned to the tent, Soho followed closely behind, and she couldn't wait to find out what Gao Qian had told her to dodge.

Soho hesitated for a long time.

At this time, Shen Lanxin planted himself on the bed and stretched out his arm, "Hey, I can finally take a rest." ”

So, Soho came to her bedside, sat down and asked, "Lan Xin, what did Your Highness say to you?" ”

"I didn't say anything." Shen Lanxin wrote lightly.

"Didn't say anything?" Soho's face was slightly suspicious, she didn't believe it. "Then why should you let me recuse myself?"

Shen Lan saw that she didn't believe it, so he sat up, "Really, he really didn't say anything to me." ”

Even though Shen Lanxin had a sincere expression, Soho still didn't believe her words, she thought that Lan Xin had something to hide from her.

Soho asked again: "Lan Xin, what do you think of King Xiang?" ”

Shen Lanxin wrote lightly: "Very good! What's wrong? ”

"Nothing, what do you think his future princess will be like?" Suddenly, a complicated look crossed Soho's eyes.

Shen Lanxin said lightly: "Princess? He is the prince, so he has to be a beautiful lady and knowledgeable, so that he will be as good as him. ”

A gleam flashed in Soho's eyes, "You think so too?" ”
