Chapter 108: Regeneration Waves
Su Liu turned the Buddha beads in his hand, his face was full of sorrow, and he frowned: "Because of your uncle's affairs, you are on the cusp at the moment, you are doing that charity sale at this time, although it is a good deed, it is inevitable that you will be tongue-in, should you be low-key at this time?"
"Mother doesn't have to worry, I have my own considerations. Su Changle said, "I have inquired, my father has taken on the responsibility of shielding criminals and poisoning the court officials, this dead word cannot be escaped no matter what, even the rest of the Liu family, the fate of men must not be exiled, and women are slaves and maidservants." We can watch this from the sidelines, but outsiders will think that we are too indifferent, and there have been a lot of gossip about me doing this with such fanfare. ”
"Then why do you continue to do this?" asked Su Liu.
"The old princess Chu has a friendship with her grandmother for decades, this time the charity sale also invited her old man, if it is successful, she will naturally treat me differently, when the time comes, she will recommend, I will go to meet the queen, ask the queen to intercede for the Liu family, if you can keep your cousin is also good, Orange Le can also be regarded as a landing, and I can get this good name, but also make people feel that we are not cold-blooded and ruthless people. ”
"If only you had an idea. Su Liu said, "You have never let me worry about it, unlike your sister." ”
"Has my mother ever visited my sister?" asked Su Changle.
"When I go to see her, she will be cold-eyed, and I don't bother to be bored. Su Liu said, "What did your grandmother say about your sister?"
"The mother should know that the old lady has always been grateful for the kindness of the Liu family back then, so she also intends to marry her sister to the Liu family, so that the two families can be close to each other, so there is some slight remarks about the father's approach, but the development of things will be expected there! ”
Su Liu sneered: "The old lady, although she eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, she is the most hard-hearted, even if Orange Le stays in the Hou Mansion, it is better than going to the temple to live a poor life!"
"I'll figure out a way to do this, so don't worry about it. Su Changle said.
Time flashed to the sixth day of the first month of October, which was the day of the charity sale organized by Su Changle, and the treasures that were donated and sold have been sent over in a steady stream.
The charity sale went very smoothly, and the people who received the invitation were all well-known and wealthy families in the capital, and these people had a lot of money in their families, and they were also very curious about the use of these noble ladies, and they had the intention of making a name for themselves, so they were also very healthy, and the treasures used for auction were seen in a while.
And the finale of this charity sale is the painting donated by Su Cheng'an, the true work of Liu Tiandao, for people who love painting, it is a treasure that can not be found, so many people are famous to come, just to see the face of this famous painting, and those who are vassals and elegant people who have thousands of dollars also want to take it into their pockets.
The competition for this painting was fierce, and it was finally bought by a merchant surnamed Huang for a sky-high price of 10,000 taels of silver.
Princess Chu looked at the grand scene below from the window in the private seat on the second floor, and said with a satisfied smile: "The money raised this time is 20,000 taels of silver, I have been in this capital for decades, and there is still a time when someone can raise so much donation, not only can help the displaced people in Beijing, but also can have a lot of great use!"
"Yes!" Su Changle smiled softly, "In addition to resettle the homeless, Changle has calculated, it can also be used to repair the school, so that the children of poor families who can't afford to study also have a place to study, as well as repair the Yizhuang, so that people who have no family to clean up can also settle down, and expand the Salesian Bureau, so that homeless orphans have a place to stay." ”
"This fundraising can actually do so many things, Changle, you have the ability, let me be impressed!" Princess Chu smiled, "How to use the money raised, since you already have a plan in your heart, then these silver are also managed by you, this huge amount of money is kept by you, with your character, we are all at ease." ”
"Thank you for the trust of the old princess. Su Changle lowered his eyes and smiled gently, "In fact, this time it is thanks to the help of all the sisters that we can have a result, and Changle does not dare to take credit." It is rare for the old princess and the sisters to trust Changle, Changle will make good use of every tael of silver, and will not live up to your expectations. ”
"Speaking of which, the last painting of Liu Tiandao's authentic handwriting, I heard it in the hands of Gong You Zhenren before, was it sent by Gong You Zhenren?" asked the old princess Chu.
"It was donated by the Heavenly Maiden. The leisurely county lord took a bite of snacks and said, "That day, a few of us talked about it in Qihou Mansion, and she donated it without blinking her eyebrows, this kind of grace is like a thing outside the body, it is really admirable, worthy of being the heavenly daughter of Ziwei Palace, this state of mind is different from others!"
Everyone looked at the leisurely county lord in amazement, she hated Su Tang'an for cutting off her beard, didn't she hate that woman all the time?Why did she speak for her today!
"Oh?" Old Princess Chu was interested, and said with a smile, "I remember, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was she who danced a folding fan dance, which really impressed me! I didn't expect her to have such a kind heart! It seems that Gong You Zhenren's vision is good, she is a good child!"
"Yes, my sister is kind and blessed!" Su Changle said with a smile, "I'll bring her to meet the old princess another day." ”
At this time, a maid came to report with an anxious face: "Oh no, that Huang official said that painting is a fake!"
"Fake!" everyone's faces changed, "how can it be a fake!"
Su Changle hurriedly said: "But what is the misunderstanding! The things we have here are all personally sent by everyone, and there is absolutely no fake! You hurry up and invite someone here, if there is a misunderstanding, just solve it!"
The complexion of the people is also unpredictable, if there is really a fake, the faces of the people of these organizations will be dull, they are noble, they don't look down on those nouveau riche, and now if they also suspect that the goods they bought are fake, they laugh at them, it is really hateful!
"Don't you still understand this?" Su Jinyan sneered, "None of the things sent by everyone are fake, only this painting is fake, I estimate that this matter is done by Su Tang'an, she has always had a perverse temperament, there are some things you don't know, but I know, it stands to reason that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but today for the innocence of this charity sale, I don't have this taboo, and I said that since Su Tang'an became a heavenly maiden, our Qihou Mansion was turned upside down by her!"
She gritted her teeth and said: "Just toss us, we dare to frame our eldest sister, you should also know that the eldest lady of Qihou Mansion is kind-hearted and has no quarrel with the world, she is now saying in front of everyone that she wants to donate that painting, Bo a good reputation for generosity and health, and then use fakes to fill the number, if you meet someone who does not know the goods, let her be deceived and pass, if someone sees through, also called the eldest sister, this time the planner of the charity sale has lost face!"
She paused, and continued to say fiercely: "I see that she has more sinister intentions, so she tried to frame the eldest sister to enrich her own pockets and swallow that painting privately, which is simply her heart can be punished!
"There really is such a dirty reason for this!" "The old princess Chu said angrily, "Everyone is gathered here today to do good deeds and good deeds, and I categorically do not allow anyone to attempt to make a fuss about this matter! If today's things cannot be innocent, if someone will do good deeds in the future, who else will believe it! If she is really so sinister, even if she is a heavenly maiden, she should give everyone an explanation! I will enter the palace to meet the queen!"
"What is the old princess so excited about?" The county lord smiled faintly, "Everything is just Su Jinyan's words, and now there is no evidence to prove that this matter is a bureau set up by Su Tang'an in order to frame Miss Su! Since there is no evidence, and this matter is related to the reputation of Ziwei Palace, it is not too late for the old princess to find out and go to meet the queen again! At least listen to this party!"
"It's strange, how did the county lord help Su Tang'an speak?" Su Jinyan rolled her eyes, "Could it be that the county lord is also suspecting that my eldest sister did something to it?"
"All of us here, except for you, no one has said that this matter has anything to do with Miss Su, right?" The Leisurely County Lord smiled faintly, "I know that everyone is very angry, but no matter how angry they are, they have to find out the truth! Not to mention that this matter is related to the reputation of our Ziwei Palace, I have to say a few more words!"
"Our Ziwei Palace?" Su Changle's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly.
"I visited Ziwei Palace a few days ago, but it was very low-key, so you may not have heard of it. The leisurely county lord said lightly, "There are several possibilities for this matter. ”
She counted her fingers and said the same: "First of all, what Gong You Zhenren gave to Su Tang'an was a fake, but Su Tang'an didn't know it, so she really donated it." Secondly, Gong You Zhenren sent it really, but Su Chengan was reluctant, so he took a fake and pretended to be it, and the third Gongyou Zhenren sent it was real, Su Chengan donated it, but someone did it and dropped it. ”
She looked at everyone and smiled and said, "Since there are three situations, you must definitely be Su Tang'an who is the obstruction, which is unfair." ”
"Gong You Zhenren is a master, how can he give someone a fake!" one retorted.
"I don't rule it out, I'm just making a list of what I can think of. Said leisurely and lightly, "Since Su Tang'an is involved, then at least let's listen to her first." ”
Su Jinyan sneered: "What the county lord said is right, there are indeed many possibilities, but speculation is that Su Tang'an is the most likely! If she really donated a fake, then the real thing must still be in her hand, just search for it!"
