Zilan invited the ladies of various families to come to the house to play, and the preparation was very thoughtful and careful, and she would not be rude in terms of hospitality.

Even the merchants' wives have been courteous and respectful, which makes many merchants' wives secretly relieved, they go out to foreign affairs to socialize because they are merchants, they are always ridiculed and despised, and they can only endure for the sake of the gentlemen in the family.

When they came, they were a little worried that the county lord would look down on them, but they still had to cooperate with a smile when they should be given money.

Unexpectedly, the maids and women who entered the house were very polite, with a very good attitude, and they did not look at people with their eyes, but greeted people with a smile.

Zilan put everyone in the garden to play, this time in the autumn, the weather is still very hot, the house will look a little stuffy, with ice some old and weak ladies can not be practical, afraid of fainting.

A long table was set up for everyone, and the maids took turns to serve the food, and after eating one, they removed one and replaced it with a new one, which did not affect the freshness of the dishes and ensured that there were always four or five dishes on the table that could be freely chosen.

Zilan is full of wine and food and has just started to get down to business, and it was very clear in the previous posts, only the details are missing, everyone knows in their hearts, and they will not be nervous.

"I have written a few simple sentences on the post with you before, you may know it, I discussed it with my master, and I want to donate a batch of books to the academy to help those poor children.

If you are willing to participate, you can ask my maid to sign up, and if you don't want to have a banquet, you can leave after the meeting.

If you don't have books at home, you can also donate some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, I don't accept any money transactions, you buy something and send someone to say it, I will report your name, and make an appointment to send it to the academy together.

Good or bad is your credit, I just gathered everyone to do this together, there is a lot of power in numbers. ”

Not only data, but also pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are also needed, so people who don't have books can buy these things and send them, of course, in order to avoid money transactions, and finally it is not clear.

Therefore, Zilan does not accept money exchanges, you go to buy things by yourself, and then we all agree to gather at the time, and send them to the academy with our own books and pen and ink, and I will hand over the list you submitted in advance, and the final benefits will belong to you.

This method is the first time everyone has heard of it, which not only avoids the embarrassment of how much to donate, but also does not have to be robbed of credit, and also acts with energy.

"It's a good thing, I'm willing to participate, how can I sign up."

I don't know how many dignitaries and nobles are willing to woo Zilan and his wife, since they have already expressed their attitude, they are not greedy for your family's money and benefits, but they just need your cooperation, and they can also get benefits, why don't you do it.

"You can sign up, you don't need to say how many books you want to donate, and after you go back, you have to count your own books and other trivial things, and when you donate, you remember to bring what you donated, write down how much you donated, and report to the dean, which is the credit of your family."

The whole process is operated by themselves, everyone just gathers each other, and the strength of many people is just a big momentum.

"Oh, this method is good, you can do what you can, if you have fewer books at home, can you donate more pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"That's right, that's what it means, the credit for your donation will be recorded, if your family has a child who goes to the academy to study in the future, then this good will not fall on your own family."

The requirements are very clear, which gives the merchants a good opportunity to not worry about the embarrassment of having few books in their own house.

"Finally, there is one more thing to say in advance, I plan to donate some cotton clothes in the winter, if the cotton clothes are not sewn in advance, it is too late, this is not only to donate to the poor, but also to count the soldiers who are sent to the border gates, I want cotton clothes, cotton shoes, cotton hats, gloves.

I have requirements for how thick the cotton clothes should be and what materials, and I said ugly things in front.

If you want to do it, do it well, I can't forget your credit, I don't do it and I don't force it, don't make a show when you leave, I don't look for anyone to back up, but you have to fake it when you follow it, don't blame me for being polite.

A large part of these cotton clothes will be sent to the border to be worn by the soldiers, so that I can find out who has lost his conscience, and I want the life of his whole family. ”

My maid will show you that the thickness and style of the cotton clothes are required, as for why it is so strict, don't ask, the benefits are indispensable to everyone. ”

Zilan waved her hand, and several maids came up with mahogany trays, and there were samples of cotton clothes and shoes on each tray.

Take it one by one and let each lady touch the thickness and material of the hand, and they are all written very clearly.

"It's still the rule just now, you can sign up with my maid, everyone voluntarily registers, don't force it, everyone leaves with peace of mind when you leave, I won't retaliate against you if you don't do it, you can't do it."

Zilan chuckled lightly and secretly signed up with the maid, so as to avoid embarrassment, you don't have money to do it, just leave after the banquet, and no one will trouble you.

After listening to this, everyone had a different opinion of Zilan, leaving room for everyone, which made each other feel a lot more comfortable.

As for the requirements for cotton clothes, they can also understand that the clothes worn by the soldiers are not allowed to be deceitful, so naturally there should be requirements.

"This is a good thing, I am willing to do it, girl, give me a set of your cotton clothes and cotton boots, I will take it back and let the embroidery girl make a look, do it as it is, we are warm in Jiangnan, and we can't wear such thick cotton clothes."

I have to take the things back and let them see and touch them in their hearts to know in their hearts, the climate difference between the north and the south is big, it may not be clear to say, seeing is believing. ”

A lady really wanted to follow Zi Lan, and immediately found out what Zi Lan was doing this.

"You remind me that this cotton coat is much thicker than what we usually use for good deeds, so it seems that we need to go back to a set of samples to show the embroiderer.

In case it is not clear, it is thicker than usual, but it is much thinner than this one, which will definitely not be used, we have been in the north, the north is very cold, if you don't wear thicker, your ears will freeze when you go out. ”

A merchant's wife also spoke boldly, they went south and north to do business, in fact, there is no shortage of knowledgeable people.

"More people are willing to cheer, cotton clothes are worn by the soldiers at the border gates, and they must not be thin, so I made a request, and please don't blame you. In terms of quantity, it depends on the individual's ability and financial resources, and it is not forced.

The number of border soldiers is very large, and the imperial court will solve part of it, and I myself will solve part of it.

I will not treat the people who do things with me badly, and these lists will be truthfully presented to the emperor for reading, and they will be rewarded according to their abilities and merits.

Other ladies can also rest assured that although you can't be promoted, you will naturally be safe and prosperous when you do business in your hometown, as long as you abide by the law. In the future, other adults will not harass you when they come here. ”
