461 The Book of Thanksgiving for All Peoples
Rong Zhao took out his own money, but it was far from enough, Xiao Junjue discussed it with all the staff, and Gu Jinfeng came up with a good idea. In recent years, Yizhou's economy has been good, whether it is business or farming, it has been quite effective. Now every family in Yizhou is living a good life and is very wealthy.
So Gu Jinfeng thought about calling on the people to donate money and contribute to Yangzhou. When it adds up, that's a significant amount.
The people of Yizhou are pure and good, and they are not stingy, and they have responded and donated donations, but in ten days, they donated more than 300,000 taels of silver.
Moreover, not only the people of Yizhou City, but also other states and counties also gave generous money, adding up to a total of one million taels of money in the entire domain under Xiao Junjue's jurisdiction.
Of course, the Chu Wangfu also had to pay, and Xiao Junjue let the account room directly spend 200,000 taels.
The Huang family is now also the in-laws of the Chu Palace, and the donation is naturally not less, not only donations, but Huang Xiaoting also unconditionally donated the old rice in the rice shop he operated, and the new rice was sold at the purchase price.
For the victims, the most important thing now is not money, but food. Huang Xiaoting's move solved the fundamental problem and sent the least amount of money for the most grain in exchange for the most grain.
The Rong family is a family of charity, and naturally they will not be willing to be left behind in this kind of matter, Rong Hui and Rong Hui have taken out a part of it, and they have also saved a little money in the past three years. Although it is less, it gathers less into more.
Yin Rou took out the jewelry that Rong Zhao had given her intermittently in the past few years, and the things that Yin Hui gave her back then were used up on the way back to Yizhou, and when she arrived in Yizhou, Rong Zhao always filled in objects for her from time to time, just to make up for that. In fact, she didn't pay attention to these things, just in time for this time, she donated them all.
The Rong family has successively taken out their own money, not much, but it is also their heart.
When transporting grain, Rong Zhao specially instructed Xiao Junjue to reward the people sent to deliver relief food with more money and more oil and water. There is no need to save this money, only by letting the following people taste the sweetness, they can do their best to do things.
At the same time, Xiao Junjue drew soldiers from various states and counties, totaling 5,000 people, and rushed to Yangzhou to implement disaster relief for the people, and appointed Qin Ruxin to be responsible. He has had similar experience and will be easy to handle, so he is the most suitable person.
By the middle of July, the leaky rain finally stopped, Rong Yun and Miss Huang's marriage was scheduled for the eighth day of August, Huang Xiaoting is a businessman, he likes to have a good fortune in everything, August 8, hair, hair, the day is set by him.
Seeing that the day is approaching, Rong Zhao is also busy, speaking of which, it has been several years since he had a happy event, and this time it has to be lively.
Rong Zhao looked at the list of guests and invitations to be invited to the banquet under the flower gallery in the courtyard, and she checked them all three times, and she almost missed anyone. I will also suddenly think of who and add it.
Wisteria like a purple waterfall poured down from the top of her head, and the sunlight shrouded Rong Zhao's face, and a faint purple spread on her face. And she was dressed in lotus-colored garments, and she became one with the wisteria.
Qiushui brought lotus seed soup, Rong Zhao has a lot of things to worry about these days, a little on fire, and there is a boil on his neck. At this time, the lotus flowers in the backyard bloomed again, and the autumn water was picked back, peeled and boiled by himself.
"Miss, the lotus seed soup is ready, I added nectar, and it tastes less bitter. "The lotus seed is bitter, but it is best to go to the fire, but Qiushui is afraid that Rong Zhao will be bitter, so he took the nectar of the flowers and blended them together to reduce the bitterness of the lotus.
Rong Zhao knocked on the table, "Put it aside, I'll drink it when I'm done." ”
"It's cold after the soup, so you might as well drink it while it's hot. Qiushui snatched her list and forced her to drink it immediately.
Rong Zhao glared at her, "You are really getting more and more capable, and you dare to persecute me." Even so, he picked up the lotus seed soup and drank it.
Lotus seeds are bitter, but fresh, coupled with the nectar and taste of flowers, not only are they not bitter, but they are sweet and delicious. Rong Zhao scooped a few mouthfuls, suddenly remembered something, and looked at Qiushui, "You go to my private warehouse in a while, take some jewelry and jewelry, how much to take, which one to take, feel free, but you can't miss it, go and send it to Miss Huang, just say that this is my dowry for her." ”
Qiushui was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "Miss Huang is going to marry into our house, why does Miss still give her a dowry, this is all her mother's business." ”
Rong Zhao drank the lotus seed soup, put the empty bowl aside, and said: "Doesn't this show that I am close to the Huang family? Everyone is happy, so why not?"
Qiushui said with a smile: "Miss is really getting more and more shrewd, Miss adds this dowry, Master Huang and Mrs. Qian will be even more grateful to Dade, close to Miss, close to our palace." ”
Rong Zhao smiled at her, "Then don't go and prepare, go early and return early, and when you come back, cook two bowls of lotus seed soup and send them to the prince and the county lord, I see that the two children's mouths are peeling." ”
"Okay, slave and maid, let's do it. Qiushui pursed his lips and smiled, blessed with a blessed body, and went to run errands.
After Qiushui left, Rong Zhao continued to look at the invitation, and someone came to disturb her after a while.
"It's so shocking, it's really shocking!" This almost roaring sound, Rong Zhao didn't need to look up to know that it was Rong Yao's kid, he clenched his fist with one hand, spread his palm with the other, and hit his fist on the palm of his hand, with an excited face.
"Sister, have you ever gone to the front yard, just now my brother-in-law received a letter of gratitude from all the people. Rong Yao's face was full of pride, as if the letter of gratitude was given to him, perhaps this is called "You Rongyan," that was the fingerprints of the victims of Yangzhou one by one, in order to express their gratitude to my brother-in-law. O people, such a long scroll of cloth is full of finger prints, and this is the hearts of thousands of people. Growing up, it was the first time I saw that I could express gratitude in this way, and I felt that my heart was shaken. ”
Rong Zhao looked at him indifferently, Rong Yao twisted his eyebrows, and raised his peach blossom eyes, "Sister, aren't you shocked?"
Rong Zhao nodded, there was no wave on his face, Rong Yao sat beside her, and asked curiously: "Then why are you so calm, not like your character, as if you expected it." ”
"Gratitude is expected, but Wan Minshu didn't expect it. However, even if it's unexpected, you don't have to jump up and down like a jumping monkey like you, and a little bit of excitement can be like this. Rong Zhao patted Rong Yao on the shoulder, "Ah Yao, when will you be calmer, and you won't be young anymore, you're twenty-five." ”
Rong Yao's face collapsed at an obvious speed, and his face was gloomy, "Not young, if I'm not wrong, you seem to have been born before me." I didn't even say you were old, you still disliked me for not being young. ”
Sister and brother, do you need to hurt each other like this?
Rong Zhao's hand formed into a claw, pinching the flesh on Rong Yao's shoulder, she lowered her voice, "Rong Yao, do you know what my reverse scales are?"
Naturally, everyone knows, isn't it the word old?
Since his twenty-fifth birthday, Rong Zhao has been sad for a while, and he feels that he is not far from the age of thirty.
Rong Yao knew that he had committed a taboo, and the pain on his shoulder made him grin and cry out in pain, begging for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, sister, you sink the fish and fall and close the moon and shy flowers, always like flowers blooming in the morning, you will always be young, and youth will always be there." ”
Rong Zhao withdrew his hand and pinched the corner of his mouth again, "Look at your mouth in the future." ”
Rong Yao rubbed his face and smiled, "Aren't you going to take a look in the front yard?"
Rong Zhao smiled smugly, "I'll see it." "If she needs to run away, Xiao Junjue will naturally bring it back to her.
Rong Yao smacked his lips, "Look at your arrogant appearance, it's all my brother-in-law who is used to you." ”
"That's what I'm willing to get used to, can't I?" Rong Zhao just saw Xiao Junjue enter the courtyard, and the corners of her mouth pursed a smile, watching what Rong Yao said.
Rong Yao shrank his neck, moved his head little by little, and grinned, "Okay, okay, why not." He ran over like a dog, "Brother-in-law, why didn't you let people report when you came back?"
Rong Junjue glanced at him, "I want to report to you when I go back to my courtyard?"
Rong Zhao poured him a cup of herbal tea, Rong Yao pursed his lips and muttered: "I haven't said to pour me a cup for so long, and I don't know who to kiss." ”
"Naturally, the father-in-law is closer than the younger brother. Rong Zhao's ears were sharp, and his muttering was heard clearly.
Rong Yao was like a fish in his throat, pointing at Rong Zhao, and holding back a sentence, "Forget my brother when I see it." ”
Rong Zhao put one hand on Xiao Junjue's shoulder, and the admiration in his eyes was full of admiration, "At the moment of beauty, I have forgotten everything." ”
Rong Yao supported his forehead, he was really helpless, the woman was lustful, there was really nothing to do with the man.
Xiao Junjue had a smile on the corner of her mouth, slowly took a sip of tea, and then asked people to show Rong Zhao the book of gratitude to the people, Rong Zhao just opened a corner, and occupied the entire table, looking at the finger prints on it, Rong Zhao's heart was surging. At this moment, in her heart, these are not finger prints, but living people.
In a trance, it seemed that there were thousands of troops standing in front of him.
Rong Zhao and Xiao Junjue glanced at each other tacitly, what she was thinking in her heart now, it was the same when Xiao Junjue saw it just now.
Rong Zhao held Xiao Junjue's hand, although he was calm on the outside, his heart was already turbulent, and there was a slight tremor when he spoke, "I finally took a step." ”
Xiao Junjue clasped her hand back and said, "With this step, there is a beginning and hope." ”
Rong Yao didn't seem to understand when he heard it, as if he was in a fog, and asked without confusion: "What step, start again? What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?"
Rong Zhao didn't want to pay attention to him, and led Xiao Junjue into the house, sometimes these things don't need to be explained so early, and when that day comes, if they don't say anything, they will naturally understand.
