Chapter 177: Sister
After the salute, the prefect's wife asked Zhiwan to sit down, Zhiwan was not polite, and when she sat down, some of the ladies couldn't help it, "The princess's skin is delicate, and it is smooth like water when you look at it, don't you use that cosmetics every day?" ”
Mrs. Liu was also there, wiped her hair and said, "I heard that the princess of the county also has the ability to turn decay into magic, and to put it mildly, she helped Mrs. Su turn her white hair into green silk, I don't know?" ”
Selling this word, Mrs. Liu didn't dare to say it, the princess of the county has a noble status, how can she open a shop to do business?
The ladies in the room had heard about the potion, and they were curious, and sooner or later they would have gray hair, and if they had such a potion, they would not be afraid.
Poria asked people to carry a small box in, put it on the ground, and then stood beside Zhiwan.
A group of ladies looked at the box and stared at it, their eyes were hot, and they smiled when they saw it, "I think everyone knows that the rain in Yongzhou is fierce, which will cause flooding disasters, and I left Beijing this time, one is to visit my grandfather, and the other is to help my children pray for blessings, how can I ignore the people who are in dire straits, this cosmetics are made by me, and the effect has been witnessed by everyone, so I should not doubt it." ”
The prefect's wife looked at it and smiled, "How can you doubt it, it's too late to love." ”
Zhiwan nodded and said with a smile, "I have so much left in my hand, and I am ordering someone to rush to make it, and the price of a box is one hundred taels, because it is used for disaster relief, it is sold in advance, and each box is added to twenty taels, what do you think?" ”
The enthusiasm of those ladies suddenly weakened a lot, one hundred taels was already very expensive, and this added twenty taels was almost worth half a year's monthly money, but it was a good thing to use it for disaster relief, and besides, that thing was really good, so they wouldn't let them watch others use it, right?
The prefect's wife is very cheerful. "It's a good thing, I buy five boxes, two daughters, mother-in-law. and daughters-in-law, no one can be missing. ”
Five boxes, that's six hundred taels, although a little distressed, but also have to take out, Poria took the money, took five boxes to the prefect's wife, and suddenly there was a small half of the wooden box missing.
Mrs. Bookkeeper also bought three boxes, and Poria took the money, smiling with crooked eyebrows, "That's all there is in the wooden box for the time being." The rest is still in the process of being prepared, and it will be delivered to the ladies within three days, who else wants, our princess of the county said, I have done good deeds today. are all recorded in the book, and after the shop opens, give all the ladies a nine-percent discount, whether it is beauty and hair, or fragrant beads, everything is available, such a discount. But it's just this day. ”
Zhiwan was not stingy, and said with a smile, "Like the prefect's wife, the shop has opened, and a silver card can be discounted." ”
The prefect's wife was overjoyed to hear it. That means that when she buys it again in the future, it will only cost eighty-five taels of silver for one hundred taels?
When Mrs. Bookkeeper heard this, she hurriedly said, "Miss Poria, add two more boxes to me." ”
These ladies are like human spirits. How could you not understand the benefits inside, even if you are reluctant, you want five boxes.
As soon as it was shot, it was 600 taels, and in less than half an hour, 30,000 taels of donations were raised.
There are a lot of people who bought it on behalf of others, and it is a good thing that it is allowed.
The matter here will be handed over to the prefect's wife, Poria cocos left to help, as for those who arrived later and wanted to buy, there is no such good thing, it has to be discounted, not to mention that you have to buy three boxes, and you have to get eight or five percent off, which is only available if there are more than eight boxes.
Qingpiaopiao raised 50,000 taels of donations, plus 5,000 taels from Sufu and 10,000 taels from Xiaowangye, 5,000 taels from Xiaojun Wang, and what I want to buy in the future, there are almost 10,000 children and 8,000 yuan, which is enough for disaster relief.
The money was handed over to the prefect for disaster relief, but the Su family still made steamed buns and rice porridge every day and distributed them to the people.
The prefect was also kind, and he wrote the fold as soon as possible, and sent it to the palace in an expedited manner for one hundred and eight miles, and handed it over to Emperor Wenyuan, Emperor Wenyuan also heard about the heavy rain in Yongzhou, and thought it was for disaster relief.
Gonggong Xu said happily, "The princess of the county is really a lucky star of Yongzhou, the cosmetics are so popular and worth a lot of money, all of them are paid by the princess of the county herself, and she also helped the little princess donate 10,000 taels of silver, and the little princess also has 5,000, and the emperor has to reward her well." ”
Emperor Wen Yuan glanced at Gonggong Xu, put down the recital, and laughed, "Do you think she seems to be short of money?" Saving someone's life is 10,000 taels of silver, I heard that the Chunfeng Building she bought for 3,000 taels of silver will be completed in two days? ”
Gonggong Xu smiled when he heard it, "If you go back to the emperor, it is almost completed, it is said that someone has slipped in to see, it is luxurious and extravagant, pavilions and pavilions, more beautiful than the palace, the slave pondered, it will open in a few days, is it a leave of absence from the emperor, go in and take a look?" ”
Emperor Wenyuan's face turned dark, he even thought about taking leave to take a look at such things, and he didn't ask him to go with him, it was really not like that, "I will go too." ”
Outside, it was another six-hundred-mile urgent paperwork, Emperor Wenyuan was still thinking about whether there was good news again, who thought that it would be another drought or flood, and couldn't help frowning, and Gonggong Xu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why don't you use the princess's method elsewhere?" ”
Emperor Wenyuan glanced at Gonggong Xu, raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly smiled, sooner or later, this country will be handed over to Chen'er, and she, a mother, will help guard it, and she should, "Draft!" ”
Seven days later, two bright decrees reached Zhiwan's hands.
One was to reward Chen'er, saying that he thought of the people, worked hard, and rewarded thousands of acres of fertile land and five hundred taels of gold, so that the prince would be promoted to another level.
The other is that the treasury is empty, and it is temporarily impossible to rescue the people of the other four states, so you must know that you will use this method again in the evening to accumulate blessings for Chen'er, and as for the lost money, when the court is free, you will compensate her.
Zhiwan took the holy decree, he couldn't get out of anger, he had never seen the emperor like this, please, is the credit hers, how can the reward be all dust, is it sure that dusty will inherit the throne in the future, and the fat water will not flow into the fields of outsiders?
However, this compensation for her can be discussed, and the cost of those cosmetics is not high, so it should be answered!
Besides, she doesn't want the country to be tossed with holes, and when Chen'er inherits, this is also a headache, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the road is not left behind, and the pursuit of a generation of emperors is not to be left behind!
Zhiwan received the holy decree and instructed the maid to be busy and very obedient, but the Su family was puzzled. If you can contribute, you can contribute, and it is a good thing to save people's lives, but the matter of the court fell on her, isn't it too child's play. Although it is not difficult for her to make money.
This rain really fell for more than ten days, and it also disrupted the time when Zhiwan was going back to Kyoto, but the father-in-law who announced the decree said that the princess of the county could play more outside, and everything was fine in Kyoto.
In short, Ye Guiyue, who was supposed to come back in ten days and half a month, did not come back, but even if he came back, he would not be able to return to Beijing if he encountered this ghost weather. I knew that I would stay at ease.
As Yao's mother expected, there was a plague in Yongzhou, but fortunately, the plague was quickly controlled, but the money to buy medicine for disaster relief was not enough. Zhiwan had to raise funds for disaster relief twice.
This time, Zhiwan didn't use the balm perfume, she couldn't make it at all, and she sent it away after it was ready, she used the coal mine in Yongzhou, sold it at a nine-percent discount, and signed an agreement.
Everyone has used coal. Knowing the benefits, it will not be used less in the future, it can be sold at a nine-percent discount, and the money is used for disaster relief, those big families don't hurry up to buy it, like the Su family. An agreement of 10,000 taels was signed at once.
The prefect handed over the fold again, and Emperor Wen Yuan was dumbfounded, can the money still come like this?
At the same time, the five states sell coal mines in advance, and the larger the number, the more discounts. Not to mention disaster relief, the five states also sent 200,000 taels of surplus money to the imperial court.
I have never seen disaster relief, the court appropriation, I have never seen people save themselves, and those who have paid back a lot of money are piled up in the treasury, it is a strange talk for the ages!
And the princess of the county is kind-hearted, if the coal can't be used up, and the master's family is in urgent need of money, she can return the agreement, although she can't completely return the money, at least she can pay back seventy or eighty percent!
This is the guarantee, and there is the Su family as a guarantee, the Su family is the prestige of the world, and enjoys a good reputation in Yongzhou, even if everyone does not give face to the court, they have to sell a thin noodle of the Su family, with these two layers, it is inevitable to use coal, one hundred taels, two hundred taels, a lot, this is not so much money.
If you want to say that you buy the most coal, there are absolutely a few Yuan Hao, Chu Pei and Rong Jingxuan, and a lot of coal is used to make wine, as long as it exceeds five thousand taels, it is a two-percent discount, which can save a lot.
The king of Zhennan has a request, the wine must first be sent to Nanshun and Northern Qi to sell, and when the grain comes back, the more disasters will be, but the Northern Qi and Nanshun are smooth, and the spirits are particularly popular, and the grain is pulled back one after another.
In order to simplify the transportation cost, the wine-making yard is only five or six days away from Nanshun and Beiqi, and more than 15,000 loads of grain have been transported to Dayue in just over a month.
In the future, there will only be more.
This year's drought and flood disasters came and went very quickly, and they were brought under control very quickly, and there was no scene in which the people were struggling to make a living, and the officials forced the people to rebel.
Emperor Wenyuan stroked his beard and smiled like a warm spring breeze, but the king of Zhennan told him directly, "The coal mine taxes in several affected places this year cannot be paid." ”
Emperor Wenyuan was stunned for two seconds, and then he reacted, knowing that the tax revenue from the coal mine was used in advance, but it was okay, she didn't say it, everyone didn't know that the coal mine could be used, and the territory of Dayue was vast, and there were more than that.
Let's talk about Sufu, seeing that the rain has stopped, the sky is clear, and on the blue sky, there are many white clouds that are soft and eager to pull them down and put them in their hands to play.
The two of them were detained in the house for more than ten days, listening to the sound of the rain outside, holding their hands, and they wanted to go out to play.
The first thing when the sky was clear, I was going to take them out for a walk at night, but Yao's mother stopped, "The humidity outside is too heavy, and the raindrops on the trees have not dispersed, and they will drip on the little master, and they haven't gone out for ten days and half a month, so wait for half a day." ”
Outside, Bai Xiang and a few maids were holding umbrellas, knocking on the branches with thin bamboo poles, and there was another rainstorm under the tree.
Zhiwan was also afraid that the two children would eat the cold wind, so he smiled and said, "If you don't take it out to play, take it to my house." ”
Mother Yao nodded before she went out, and there was a sound of footsteps at the gate of the courtyard, as well as Mrs. Su's laughter, "Old lady, the little prince and the little county lord are running again, don't worry!" ”
The old lady is happy and not worried in her heart, if it weren't for this rain, Zhiwan would definitely go back to Kyoto, but this rain is too big, ten days and half a month, she has only seen Zhiwan a few times, and she is in a hurry every time, for fear that the rain will fall big if she doesn't know what, and Chen'er Si'er is not even faced, afraid that the road will slip, and the old lady will fall, and she is not allowed to come to the Peony Garden at all, but Mrs. Su and Su Xue will come to the Peony Garden as much as possible to accompany Zhiwan to relieve boredom.
Moreover, Peony Garden wants to rush to make facial cleanser and perfume, and the Su family wants to avoid suspicion, those secret recipes are precious and abnormal, and they can't be leaked for half a point.
I saw the old lady in the evening. was about to carry Chen'er down the steps, but the old lady hurriedly stopped her, "Don't move, it's been going down for so many days." There may be moss on the steps, and it is the easiest to slip, and if you want to go, you can also let the maid hold on to it. ”
The old lady said, and hurriedly stepped forward, but Mrs. Su turned her head and ordered the maid, "Let the maid clean the steps, and then go get the carpet to spread the steps." ”
Zhiwan saw that his heart was moved, and he hugged Chen'er and blessed his body, and then said, "You don't need to be so cautious." The day is brilliant, and if you don't allow half a day, you will be able to do anything on the ground. ”
Mrs. Su glanced at Zhiwan with disgust, "Why can't you want it, you want it." Yes, it's windy outside, so let's go inside and talk. ”
When Yao's mother heard this, she said, "As soon as the rain stops, the princess of the county will be eager to drill out." Madame helped to persuade her. ”
The old lady couldn't wait to hug her two great-grandchildren, but she was old, standing and hugging, she was not at ease, and she was not at ease until she knew the night, so she waited into the house. The old lady hugged the dust and didn't let go, while scolding the thief.
"It's not common, but it's finally close, but it's blocked by a heavy rain, and my great-grandmother's heart hurts. When I go back to Kyoto, I still don't want to hurt my great-grandmother? ”
Mrs. Su hugged Si'er, gently pinched her little hand, soft, just like pinching the steamed bun, slippery and soft, really lovely, and a pair of black eyes, as smart as washed black jade, moist and shiny, especially love to spit bubbles at her, and like to kiss her, kissing her is a face of saliva, even her yawning appearance, are lovely and can't wait to hold in her arms and not let go.
No, you have to hurry up and let Ang'er marry a daughter-in-law, and give her a big fat grandson, compared to managing the master of the inner courtyard, it is fun to tease the grandson!
This Mrs. Su wants to marry her daughter-in-law, but the old lady over there is thinking about the Li family's hiring, originally after helping Li Sixun heal his leg, he should have come to hire the next day, who wants to see the yellow calendar, the next day is not suitable, Mrs. Li also specially came to apologize, picked a day to come, but was stopped by a rain.
Today is a good day for hiring, and after today, we will have to wait for another seven or eight days.
Just thinking about it, a mother-in-law hurriedly came in and said, "Old lady, madam, the Li family has sent an invitation gift, and this time the son has arrived at the door." ”
Mrs. Su was stunned, why was she so anxious, she hurriedly hugged Si'er to Sister-in-law Qian, and went to see Su Xue, Su Xue blushed like a peach, her head was lowered, and she couldn't wait to see the peony carpet out of two big holes.
Mrs. Su hurriedly greeted her out, thanks to the Li family being so bold, daring to hire after the flood, and not afraid of those homeless people, breaking the jar and snatching the dowry, this is not without precedent.
Seeing that she had arrived at the gate, Mrs. Su hurriedly instructed the general pipe, "Go and prepare two baskets of copper coins and scatter the money." ”
The chief manager sighed happily, and Mrs. Su added, "Prepare more porridge and steamed buns and give them to the city gate." ”
"Mrs. is kind-hearted, and if she accumulates blessings for the second girl like this, she will definitely be able to have more children and more blessings in the future."
Wherever she goes, people don't praise the living Bodhisattva, instead of going to the Bodhisattva on the fifteenth day of the first month of the month, it is better to make more good fates and good rewards.
This time, not only the matchmaker came, but even Mrs. Li arrived in person, seeing Mrs. Su greet her, Mrs. Li felt that her face was bright, and she apologized first, "Said a good day, but was delayed by a rain, I was anxious, I was waiting day and night, looking forward to the rain stopping every night, and finally waited for it, and came first without saying hello." ”
Mrs. Su smiled with her and entered the house, and the manager beckoned the little maid to carry things into the house.
Mrs. Li saw her mother-in-law carrying a basket of steamed buns walking over, and she was quite touched in her heart, "This flood, if it weren't for the princess of the county and the Su family, I am afraid that the current Yongzhou ......." ”
Mrs. Su's nose was also pantothenic, she also went to the city gate to see, even if the disaster relief was timely, many people died of hunger and illness, "The Su family didn't help much, it was all the credit of the princess of the county." ”
Why didn't you help, in the past half a month, how many people have the Su family relieved, and it is porridge and medicine, which has driven some wealthy businessmen in Suzhou, although the other four states are also saving themselves, but the casualties are several times that of Yongzhou.
The Li family raised forty-eight times to invite Lilly, and quickly set the day to welcome the family, and sixteen days later, it was an auspicious time.
The days sounded a little tense, or Mrs. Li thought that the Su family was busy with disaster relief and couldn't spare their hands, otherwise life would not be bad in eight days.
In fact, with the number of maids and daughters of the Su family, it is enough to arrange it in three days, and the bride price was sent early. Su Xue's wedding dress must have been prepared, so she waited for the date to get married.
The old lady was reluctant to let Su Xue get married, but she thought that the Li family and the Su family were separated by a few streets, and it was convenient to go back and forth. This is a little relieved, of course, the most important thing is that Mrs. Li is sensible, "Old lady, you can relax, Xue'er was raised by me, but I treat her as my own daughter, although the married daughter can't often go back to her parents' house, but the Li family and the Su family are so close, Xue'er misses you." Am I going to stop her? At least half a month, Cher will be asked to return to the door. ”
After listening to Mrs. Li's words, Mrs. Su's slightly sour mood for marrying a daughter was finally relieved a lot, and to put it in her heart, she had been too long for half a month, but she was someone's daughter-in-law. How can she go back to the door so easily, let outsiders see it and not laugh, she didn't pretend to be virtuous, she said no, when Xue'er got married, she just reminded a little more, and the words couldn't be blocked.
When Mrs. Lee came. The ground was still wet, and by the time I left, it was already half-dry.
Su Xue hid in the embroidery building, and couldn't go downstairs, Su Yi and Su Rou made fun of her, and she blushed like a tomato.
The next two days. I didn't see Su Xue's figure at night, and I also knew that she was thin-skinned and couldn't see the narrow eyes of the maid.
On the contrary, the prefect came to the door again, although it was not appropriate to discuss major matters with the women of the boudoir, but he couldn't stand the princess's ideas. If someone has a token in his hand, he can kill a second-grade master, so he can't treat her as a woman, and he has to respect her like he respects the king of Zhennan.
Before selling coal mines, there was a lot of silver left, and the prefect was full of calculations, and he also sent 50,000 taels to the imperial court, which could have been sent 70,000, and told Zhiwan, Zhiwan said that the remaining 20,000 yuan was useful, as for what it was for, he really didn't know.
However, the princess asked for a map of Yongzhou.
This time, he came because he was worried that Zhiwan had lived in Yongzhou for a long time, and he was anxious to return to Beijing, and when the time came, 20,000 taels of silver would be in his hands.
The prefect saw the salute, and after greeting him, he spoke, "These days, there have been 4,600 taels of coal mine input one after another, plus the 20,000 left before, I don't know what the princess of the county is for?" ”
The prefect didn't think that the 20,000 taels were given to him by Zhiwan, those cosmetics, Zhiwan had already said that she donated them on behalf of the little prince and the little county lord, and the prefect Sun thought of Zhiwan's handwriting, and he gasped when he thought about it at night, and a donation was hundreds of thousands of taels of silver......
Zhiwan took a sip of tea and invited Governor Sun to sit, and then said, "The flood in Yongzhou is so big, firstly, the water conservancy facilities have not been done well, and the money is going to be used to build water conservancy. ”
The prefect heard what Zhiwan said, the construction of water conservancy, the bottom of his eyes shining, but 20,000 taels did not seem to be enough, he knew earlier, he should not have taken the silver to please the emperor and support the war, Sun Zhifu regretted the matter and said it euphemistically, Zhiwan smiled, "I have calculated, 20,000 taels is enough, now the disaster is serious, many people are hungry, I think as long as there is a full meal, those people will not fail to contribute to the court, in addition, those who participate in the construction of water conservancy, one person participates, the whole family can be exempted from taxes for two years, can be accumulated." ”
Governor Sun's eyes lit up again, he didn't doubt what Zhiwan said, when his father-in-law came to announce the decree that day, he said that no matter what the princess of the county said, everything would be done as instructed, and she said that she would be exempted from two years, that would be two years.
After every natural disaster*, many people waited for the relief of the imperial court, wasting labor in vain, and the imperial court gave him a way to live, but they had to pay the corresponding labor, which was also a good thing for the benefit of the people of Yongzhou.
Governor Sun listened to the order, so he couldn't go back to handle it, and after walking two steps, he remembered one thing and said busily, "Princess Jun, a few days ago, you let Weichen post a notice with news, and a man who was thirty-five or sixteen years old and claimed to be Yao San came to the door and said that it was his sister. ”
