Chapter 1028: Congratulations on winning the lottery
Except for Wu Zhe, everyone is in contact with the lottery for the first time.
At first, everyone thought it was just a small gift or something, such as bringing a box or two of snacks or something back, which was a good hardship.
After all, the giver is not the gatekeeper in their respective mansions in the past, and it is impossible to receive the entrance filial piety. On the contrary, when they came to Prince Mo's mansion, they already had the consciousness of sending money to the gatehouse of Prince Mo's mansion.
But now everyone is beginning to realize that there are great benefits in giving gifts to Prince Mo and Miss Zhou in the name of charitable donations.
Everyone has a lottery number, and according to the number, it is possible to get a large sum of silver!
The gifts and silver sent by hundreds of people successively exchanged for 1,200 hand prize numbers, which is 120,000 taels of silver.
Wu Zhe announced the return of one percent of the lottery, although he was a little incomprehensible, but everyone heard it very clearly: someone can get 12,000 taels of silver!
"Twelve thousand taels!" exclaimed many in low voices.
"You mean that Miss Zhou will return 12,000 taels to a certain family on behalf of Prince Mo's Mansion?"
"This ...... This one...... I don't understand, why do you have to withdraw the gift money that was sent in?"
"It's called a lottery. ”
"Isn't it a bit like a way to play in some casinos?"
"Well, it's a bit like that. But where is it that big?"
"Miss Zhou said just now that it was a charitable donation, if you win the lottery, you can get benefits, and if you don't win the lottery, you will be regarded as doing good deeds to accumulate yin virtue. ”
"But doesn't Miss Zhou and Prince Mo's mansion accept cash?"
"It is said that only a portion of the donation will be charged as operating expenses. The rest is used as charity materials to build orphanages, maintain charity supplies, and so on. ”
"Gee, that's a good thing. But what do you mean by operating expenses?"
"It seems to be the money that was used to build a platform and hire a craftsman like this. ”
The first time everyone came into contact with the charity donation lottery, there was a lot of discussion, but on the whole, they felt as if Miss Zhou had done a great thing.
Everyone looked at Wu Zhe on the stage, and there was some more respect on the basis of envy.
The lottery process continues. Constantly narrowing down the range of numbers, gradually from thousands to single digits, one by one.
The lottery machine is quite competitive, and there is no problem with damage or anything in the first run.
Finally came to a conclusion, Wu Zhe announced loudly: "One thousand one hundred and thirteen wins!"
A buzz began to sound from the otherwise quiet audience.
"Who's winning?"
"One hundred and thirteen at any time?"
"It seems that the queue was relatively late before, and the number is relatively large. ”
Everyone in the crowd looked at each other. In fact, even the winners themselves did not react. After all, I am not familiar with this lottery method. A lot of people are still confused.
"It seems that the winner did not realize that he had won. Wu Zhe smiled and said, "This is a grand prize of 12,000 taels of silver." I'll see who it is. ”
Wu Zhe picked up the book and looked at it.
Then, she opened the donation book backwards and spread it out to the hundreds of people under the stage: "Xicheng Rejuvenation Hall has won the lottery!"
The audience exclaimed.
"What about the people from the Rejuvenation Hall?"
"Where?"
Soon, an old butler with a goatee in the crowd was stunned and did not make a commotion, but pinched his goatee, as if looking at the stage in disbelief.
In fact, Wu Zhe had long known that he had won the lottery on behalf of the Rejuvenation Hall, but Wu Zhe didn't want to show his forgetfulness. But at this time, his reaction was obvious, and he walked over. He asked loudly, "This butler is from the Rejuvenation Hall?"
Wu Zhe pointed at the old butler with a goatee: "Congratulations! You won the grand prize of 12,000 taels of silver!"
When the old butler heard this, he trembled with fright.
"Old, old, old, ......," the goatee butler nodded tremblingly.
The crowd was even more exclaimed. A few people behind him patted him on the back and shouted, "Oh, old butler, you've made a lot of money!"
In fact, the housekeeper only brought two hundred taels of silver to give gifts, which was far less than the amount of many people's families. Unexpectedly, I won the jackpot by coincidence.
Rejuvenation Hall is a medical center. Although he has a connection with the official family, he can't actually get along with Prince Mo. It's just that because Wu Zhe, as the senior sister of the Yuan Healing Palace, has reached an alliance with Tang Shengshou and others in the medical world to treat orphans in orphanages, so the two sides have had several contacts.
Prince Mo's momentum is growing, and there are rumors about Zhou Zhiruo after the catastrophe. The owner of the medical hall felt that everyone was going to give gifts, so he sealed two hundred taels of silver for the housekeeper to deliver.
Actually, that's a small meaning. Because the place to receive gifts is on the side of the old temple, it is quite of cooperative significance, and it is only in the name of charity that it came. To put it simply, join in the fun and send a little favor.
So the housekeeper just registered his name and left two letters of silver, and he was ready to leave. But looking at the lottery machine or something, I felt fresh, so I didn't leave. I didn't expect such a big good thing to hit my head.
Is this true? Can I get 12,000 taels of silver?
The butler didn't even think that it was a personal person who took the money. The identity of a housekeeper and a master in this era. Individuals are bound to their masters. And the concept of social morality is also very clear, and he himself feels that this time he is giving a gift on behalf of the owner, and what benefits are still from the owner.
Many people also questioned, 12,000 taels of silver, is it really going to be given to them Rejuvenation Hall?
"Congratulations, congratulations!" still many people reacted quickly. There are acquaintances who squeeze over and get close to the old housekeeper.
"This, this...... The old man just ......, "The old housekeeper doesn't know what to say."
Wu Zhe began to publicize that the old housekeeper only donated two hundred taels of silver. He won the grand prize of 12,000 taels of silver.
People gradually understood that this was a lottery!
The audience suddenly exploded, and everyone excitedly exchanged views with the people around them.
It is a great thing to be able to give gifts, and also account for the name of welfare donations, and win the possibility of winning the lottery once.
"In the future, on the first and sixteenth days of each month, in the golden place of this old temple, we will accept everyone's welfare donations!" Wu Zhe announced loudly: "Everyone remembers, all the money is not gift money, not everyone's gift to Prince Mo's mansion or my Zhou Zhiruo, but a contribution to the welfare cause." This activity is called the Welfare Lottery!"
After Wu Zhe finished the announcement, he ignored the various voices in the audience and went straight to the backstage.
It was also the only time she hosted the welfare lottery. In the future, it will be held by other people in Prince Mo's mansion.
However, because she is a pioneer in the creation of the lottery and a well-known figure in the field hosting, she unceremoniously became an ancestor again.
The grandfather of the lottery industry!
After that, all lottery shops will enshrine a young girl in gray clothes. Whether it is a portrait or a sculpture, although the women are dressed plainly, they have a noble temperament and a gorgeous appearance.
On the 16th day of the new year, a number of fruits must be offered. Every year's big day, everyone in the lottery industry is called to worship.
Wu Zhe didn't know that her actions today would become the basis for her as an ancestor in the future, otherwise she would definitely work hard to do better.
In addition to becoming the ancestor of the concubine's room now, she has another identity as the ancestor of the lottery industry. In fact, if she wants to continue to spoof, she can become the grandfather of public baths, massage scrubs and even the sauna industry.
If she really becomes the ancestor of these industries, I am afraid that it will make countless historians cry: "How could this person, who is known as a model of pure girls, create such an unserious industry!"
Well, it's not a serious business, but Wu Zhe's mind is not going to be serious. Her appearance is rather deceptive.
The only thing that can be mentioned is the groundbreaking nature of opera or drama. In these two industries, she can become an ancestor. Although she is not the first to arrange a drama or opera, an industry needs a leader with full status.
The ancestor of singing opera in another world is Tang Minghuang, and he is naturally not the first to put on an opera robe and sing. However, due to its special status, it has attracted much attention, and there are similar similarities.
They were lively here, but the group of picking quarrels and provoking troubles in the distance of Mutai was frozen.
The eldest prince and Sister Pomegranate also heard it clearly, and gradually understood the meaning of Wu Zhe's lottery.
"The eldest prince, the official doesn't seem to have seen any gifts. The head and steward of the Zongren Mansion had expressions of helplessness.
In fact, the two of them have long been happy in their hearts.
Eldest Prince, do you still want to find fault with Zhou Zhiruo and block Prince Mo? Isn't this wishful thinking!
Take a look at the name set by Zhou Zhiruo - charity donation plus welfare lottery!
What a lofty excuse!
Even if someone wants to attack and say that they are accepting gifts, they can't say anything. Because the first is the money collected at the orphanage receiving point, the second is that there are orphans to help with chores, and the third is that there are donations to be returned by lottery.
Who gives gifts and returns? This clearly shows that this is not a gift, but a collective effort to support orphans.
"This ......," the eldest prince also saw that it was difficult to sue.
Sister Pomegranate said strongly, and said with a stiff neck: "But they all handed over the money to the people of Prince Mo's Mansion!"
The head of the Zongren Mansion smiled bitterly and said, "One person went to buy vegetables and gave the money to the farmer." The farmer is just taking bribes?"
What he meant was that giving money was not necessarily a bribe.
Sister Pomegranate refused to give up: "But Prince Mo's Mansion has a prince's background!"
This time, he was replaced by the steward of the Zongren Mansion and said: "The Great Prince's Mansion has also given the Mo Prince's Mansion a silver coin." And give more than anyone else......"
This sentence is definitely powerful enough. If it is about giving money to Prince Mo's Mansion, your eldest prince will give the most.
The chief minister glanced at the steward, suggesting that what you said was too heavy, and it was no less than a slap in the face.
But this sentence has already left the eldest prince and Pomegranate speechless. (To be continued......)
