Chapter 165: Good Deeds

The people in the capital suddenly found that there were more merchants in the city, pulling carts of food and medicine, and some inconspicuous cloths, although the colors were not very good, even the daughters of ordinary people in the capital could not use them, but they could not stand a large number.

"What is this for?" A middle-aged man looked at the big cart on the street suspiciously, The old ox pulling the cart walked very heavily step by step, and it seemed that the things in the cart were worth a lot.

The owner of the tea shed grinned, "You're from out of town?" This is the money raised by our kind-hearted ladies in the capital for the refugees in Cangzhou, and in order to prevent some people from being greedy for disaster relief funds, the ladies have exchanged the money for money, food and medicine. ”

Speaking of the good deeds done by the ladies in the capital, the people in the city gave a thumbs up, and in the past, these ordinary people looked down on the extravagant ladies in the capital, and they were jealous and disdainful in their hearts.

But now, no one knows who doesn't know, The ladies led by Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis are dedicated to the country, pity the people of Cangzhou suffering from floods and droughts, donate money and materials, and buy grain and cloth from merchants at a high price and send them to Cangzhou.

"Yuanliu, what do you think of this batch of cloth? It's all the best-selling good things in the shop under my name, but the people in Cangzhou are pitiful, so the people in Cangzhou can come first. ”

Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis tasted the sweetness, and after sending a large amount of grain to Cangzhou, the current emperor issued a holy decree to praise her, which made Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis famous in the capital.

Originally, Xuanwu Hou had a bad reputation in the capital, and he only got a benevolent name, but when it came to Xuanwu Hou, he was all dedicated to eating and had no ability, because of the good deeds of Xuanwu Hou's wife and the emperor's praise, officials and people were full of respect when they saw Xuanwu Hou.

"Madam, because of your kindness, many people in Cangzhou were able to escape this catastrophe, you are really a living bodhisattva who saves suffering." Jiang Yuanliu did not hesitate to hold Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis.

The chubby Mrs. Hou smiled, because of the disaster relief, Xuanwu Hou had a long face in front of the emperor, and he was once again relied on by Xuanwu Hou, and his life was very smooth.

"Madam, your batch of fabrics are all of the best quality, I'm worried that someone will hide the cloth privately, and the poor people of Cangzhou won't need it." Jiang Yuanliu pretended to look embarrassed.

Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis suddenly widened her eyes, as the lady of the powerful in the capital, she has seen a lot of pickled things, and her subordinates can always find ways to be greedy for ink and money, although this batch of cloth is not as popular as she said, it is something that cannot be sold, but the price is not fake.

"How is this to be, if those black-eyed people are allowed to hide their things, will not the poor people be clothed? Seeing that winter is coming, if it snows, many people will die. Mrs. Xuanwu Hou looked at Jiang Yuanliu worriedly.

She originally looked down on the daughter of the protector who was brought back from the countryside, even if she was noble? Growing up in a stone well, there is no famous teacher to teach, and the rules are not the same, but he looks beautiful, but it is difficult to get into the elegant hall.

But after the incident of Huguo Temple, Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis suddenly felt that Jiang Yuanliu was also good, completely different from the nobles in the capital, she was amazingly bold, and she was also good at management.

"Yuanliu, what can you do?" Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis had two dependences on Jiang Yuanliu.

During this time, Jiang Yuanliu has been helping her deal with the disaster relief food funds raised, and she is very good at doing business, and she is quite experienced in negotiating business with those merchants, she does not eat any losses, her eyes are excellent, and she can find flaws in several truckloads of grain.

"Madam, I think it's better to find some embroidery girls and embroider four big characters on the cloth for disaster relief, then I won't dare to embezzle the cloth, and who wants to have such words on the clothes?" Jiang Yuanliu proposed.

Mrs. Xuanwu Hou applauded, "What a clever plan!" It's a pity that Yuan Liusheng is a daughter, and if he is a man, he will definitely be able to make contributions. ”

Jiang Yuanliu lowered her eyes and pretended to be embarrassed, in fact, to hide the disdain in her eyes, if she was a man, she would have no chance to make a contribution, and at the beginning of returning to the capital, she would be killed by people from all walks of life.

No one wants to see the protector Jiang Fengmao have an adult heir.

Thinking about Gu Jinshu's fact that he is the son of Jiang Fengmao has always been covered to death, I am afraid that Zhao Duqi and others will be jealous, even so, because Gu Jinshu often lives in the Protectorate Mansion, and he has been tested by Zhao Duqi one after another.

"Madame, don't make fun of me, this is the grain and cloth sent by the ladies in the capital yesterday, I have copied it in the book, please take a look." Jiang Yuanliu handed over the book with the name of the person who recorded the donation of the scroll to Mrs. Marquis of Xuanwu.

Although she is the one who contributed to all this, Jiang Yuanliu never thought of asking for merit and rewards, and she didn't want to be exposed to people at all, so she focused on Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis in everything, and guided Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis to knock on the side.

"Okay, I'll take a look, the merchants of Bai Ningguo have sent a few carts of Shu, Yuanliu, you can take a look." Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis was holding the roster, and her small eyes were already smiling.

Her work as thankless as raising money and food was certainly not unprofitable, and she was more than happy to do it when it took her a lot of money and time.

You must know that these ladies who donate food in circles will be her connections in the future.

Jiang Yuanliu smiled faintly, and then walked out of the room, with ambition brewing in her beautiful eyes, How could she not know that she would get huge benefits from contacting those ladies, but now is not the time.

Although she is a daughter and cannot inherit Jiang Fengmao's connections and military power, after all, she has Jiang Fengmao's blood on her body and the brand of the Protector Mansion, and her every move is in Zhao Duqi's eyes.

Being a woman who can only do mundane things will make Zhao Duqi more at ease, if you unite those ladies, I am afraid that Zhao Duqi will not be able to sleep well at night.

"Miss Jiang, take a look, this profiteer is shoddy!" A Xuanwu Marquis Mansion was angrily pulling a businessman, and when he saw Jiang Yuanliu coming over, he complained loudly.

The merchant in strange clothes bared his teeth and whispered for mercy, "Let go of me, insult Sven, insult Sven!" ”

Jia Ding spat on the ground, "A layman whose mind is full of yellow and white things, and insulting Sven!" Do you think you can't be a reader? ”

The merchant was unhappy and rebuked loudly, "Why are you people in Qingqi Kingdom so barbaric, why am I not a reader when I read poetry and books?" Is there anything wrong with making money to support your family? ”

"A businessman is a lowly vulgarity!" The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, he is the little steward of the Marquis of Xuanwu's mansion, and he is more beautiful than the petty officials outside, so he naturally looks down on businessmen.

The merchant was dumbfounded, "You actually say that the merchant is vulgar? It's really a dog's eye to look down on people, this is the hospitality of your Qingqi Kingdom? Obviously, you invited the merchants! ”

The merchant from Bai Ning felt that he had been insulted, and his face was pale to break free from the hands of the family, but this was the mansion of the Marquis of Xuanwu, and when he saw that the little steward was being bullied, the rest of the family members surrounded him.

The little steward inserted his waist and roared proudly: "You dare to scold me, you are a dog who is afraid and doesn't know whether to live or die!" I am the steward of the Marquis of Xuanwu's mansion, you dare to bully people on Lao Tzu's head, brothers take him down for me. ”

The people brought by the merchants were five big and three coarse, and naturally they would not let the merchants be bullied, so they all protected the merchants one after another, and looked at the family members of the Marquis Xuanwu Mansion with a black face.

Seeing that the two groups were about to fight, Jiang Yuanliu hurriedly walked over, pressed one hand on the shoulder of the little steward, and grabbed the arm of the guard brought by the merchant with the other.

"Stop!" Jiang Yuanliu shouted coldly.

The crisp voice was like a slap in the face, and people on both sides looked at Jiang Yuanliu.

The head of the guard who protected the merchants had sharp eyes, he had been practicing martial arts for more than 20 years, and from the moment Jiang Yuanliu held his wrist, he knew that Jiang Yuanliu was a practitioner, and immediately raised his vigilance in his heart.

"What to do? Madame has instructed that there should be no disputes with the merchants who rushed over, if it weren't for these merchants, where would they have the Liang herbs to relieve the siege of Cangzhou! Jiang Yuanliu took the lead in scolding the steward of the Marquis Xuanwu Mansion, and then gave the steward a look and motioned the little steward to look around.

This is the Xuanwu Hou Courtyard, although the people who came to help were the families of the Xuanwu Hou Mansion, but more of them were the merchants who came to trade, although they didn't know each other, but the appearance of the little steward showed off his might angered everyone, and once he started the Xuanwu Hou Mansion, the family members of the Xuanwu Hou Mansion would definitely suffer.

The little steward is also a clever person, otherwise he wouldn't have stood out among the many stewards at a young age, and came to the other hospital to handle the big matter of raising funds for disaster relief, and immediately realized that it was not good.

"Miss Jiang's reprimand is right, the little one said the wrong thing in a hurry." Seeing that the wind and the rudder were very strong, and he could bend and stretch, the little steward immediately apologized to the merchant: "Fang is my brain, you don't remember the villain, don't take it to heart." ”

The little steward knows too well how important Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis regards to raising food for disaster relief, if he offends these merchants because of him and messes up the matter of raising food for disaster relief, he can't say that the position of the steward can't be saved, and his life may not be guaranteed.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The merchant didn't care, after all, it was on someone else's territory, and he still had to do business.

Jiang Yuanliu waved his hand and asked the little steward to do something else, the little steward was like being amnestied, knowing that Jiang Yuanliu had taken over the trouble, he immediately ran away.

"I see that this brother is very talkative, and I just heard that Brother Tai is full of poetry and books, so I want to ask Brother Tai about some things, I wonder if Brother Tai can solve my doubts?" Jiang Yuanliu was polite.

The merchant knew that the status of the girl in front of him was definitely not ordinary, so he was also as good as a stream, and the two walked to the shed specially prepared for the merchant in the courtyard, Jiang Yuanliu asked someone to make a pot of hot tea, and after pouring a cup of tea for the merchant, he talked about his doubts.
