Text Chapter 187: A Hundred Flowers Feast on a Hundred Flowers
This time, the emperor openly praised Su Muwan, and issued a holy decree, rewarding many things, so that all the officials could see it, especially the families of those officials, they all had some ideas in their hearts.
But I don't know how.
Seeing Su Muwan so favored, she couldn't tell the jealousy in her heart.
Su Muwan naturally thought of this, it is bound to be bad for a family to be dominant, how good her image is in the hearts of the people, then how threatening it is in the hearts of other officials.
So, after returning to the house, she discussed with Uncle Fu that she would hold a hundred flowers banquet.
Uncle Fu was puzzled: "Why did the princess do this?" ”
At this moment, Mama Ying walked in with tea, and said with a smile: "You are really stupid, the princess did this completely to eliminate the danger, think about it, the disaster victims entered the capital, but the princess was the only one who did the disaster relief act, and she was praised by the emperor, what do you say about the hundred officials now?" ”
"They can do it too!" Since they have an idea in their hearts, they should give an action, and since the princess has set an example, they can do it.
Mama Ying handed the tea to Su Muwan and shook her head at Uncle Fu: "It's quite simple to think, but if you think about it, before the princess was not rewarded, if someone did this, then it was nothing, but now, if you do any disaster relief, will others say that it is for the emperor's reward to actively provide disaster relief, and the refugees are rescued, it will not be good, so what about the people in the capital, the three of them become tigers!" ”
"Oh!" Uncle Fu understands the stakes at stake!
Speaking of this, Mama Ying couldn't help but admire: "That's why the princess will hold this hundred flowers banquet, at the hundred flowers banquet, the princess must have some strategy!" ”
Su Muwan took a sip of tea, her eyes were very bright: "Mama Ying is right, since I was rewarded by the emperor, there must be a lot of people staring at me in the capital, in this case, some people's hearts are estimated to be a little bad, so I opened this Hundred Flowers Banquet to pull all the people down." ”
She stood up and looked out the door, there were flowers blooming: "This time, I am going to carry out a donation activity, calling on all the officials' families to come up with some money, and I will be with them to carry out disaster relief, and at the same time, I will also take some family members out to give porridge, so that everyone can participate in it." ”
"These young ladies and ladies are not short of money in their hands, and now they lack an opportunity, I estimate that after just going down to the court, there must be many officials who have taken action, but as soon as the holy decree is issued, the things that must be done have been canceled, and now, I just want to give them an opening and let them walk in."
"The princess is a good plan!" Uncle Fu couldn't help but admire.
Su Muwan smiled: "Uncle Fu, you are joking, holding a hundred flowers banquet is not only to break the opinions of other officials' families on me, but more importantly, to raise some money!" There are more refugees than you imagined, and it costs a lot of silver taels to help them! ”
She can still think of how many of those refugees have died all the way from the distant border passes, who knows, just like that, the number of refugees in the capital is still so much, so how many people are living on the verge of life and death.
It's difficult, her eyes appeared tattered clothes, hungry bodies, children who couldn't even cry because they were hungry, and adults with dead faces.
After walking so much desolation, they finally came to the capital, how could they still disappoint them?
Thinking about it, her heart was very uncomfortable.
The country, a mouth, is a jade, which proves that in this country, everyone is as precious as jade, and they cannot be abandoned.
"Go, Uncle Fu, arrange it, send invitations to the wives of the officials, and tell them that the palace will hold a hundred flowers banquet in the evening and invite them to come over as guests!"
Uncle Fu asked, "Don't you need to write an invitation to raise money or something?" ”
"No, they'll understand!" Su Muwan turned to look at Mama Ying: "The dinner party in the evening will be troublesome!" I'm tired of worrying about grandma! ”
Mama Ying gave a salute and said with a smile: "The princess doesn't have to worry, everything will be according to the princess's requirements!" ”
"I remember that the palace will also be invited, this kind of thing, you still need some people to testify!" Su Muwan continued, in fact, the reason why she started this Hundred Flowers Banquet so quickly was because she was afraid that the queen would also think of it.
Since in her previous life, she was able to rely on this Hundred Flowers Banquet to increase the hearts of the people to Shangguan Ling, will she have this idea in this life!
Of course, she had to be quick, before she thought about it.
"Yes, Princess, please rest assured!"
"Well, you guys go!" After seeing Uncle Fu and Mama Ying leave, Su Muwan went to the study, and the pig planned this matter carefully, how to arrange it at the dinner.
Soon, it was night, two rows of red lanterns were hung in front of the door of King Yu's mansion, carriages came and went outside, and one by one the ladies and ladies were helped into the palace by the maids.
Because it was early winter, there were not many flowers, Su Muwan arranged the banquet in the hall, some flowers were picked, inserted in vases, or planted in flower pots, and placed in various places in the hall.
Moreover, although it is said to be a hundred flowers banquet, everyone who comes knows what this banquet is for, in the past, Mrs. and Miss will dress up to show off the flowers, and I can't wait to add all kinds of valuable things to the body, and the scenery overshadows other people, but this time, everyone is dressed very plainly, and all kinds of gold and silver ornaments have been removed, and everyone looks very bland.
Su Muwan was in front of the guests to entertain the guests, this is Yinhuan stepped forward, leaned into her ear, and said: "Princess, the side concubine knows that there is a hundred flowers banquet tonight, and she wants to come over, and now she is making trouble!" ”
"Oh?" The corners of Su Muwan's mouth hooked: "Not to mention that I forgot this sister, this kind of thing, how can I not have her, let her come over!" ”
Now without Shen Yun by her side, with Su's beloved brain, she must not be able to think of something deeper, she must have thought that tonight's Hundred Flowers Banquet will be an occasion to compete for beauty!
She couldn't wait to see what her sister would wear.
The hour was almost up, and everyone was almost all together, Su Muwan said to everyone: "Everyone sit down, we are all family members, and we don't come to those rules or anything, everyone can come easily." ”
After speaking, I heard a voice outside: "The queen has arrived, and the precious concubine has arrived!" Princess Huaqing has arrived! ”
"Su Muwan greets the queen!" Then he saluted, and everyone followed behind him to salute, and said in unison: "Queen Mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
At the door, the queen mother was supported by the precious concubine and Shangguan Huan and walked in, saw Su Muwan, and said, "Princess Yu doesn't need to give a salute, get up quickly!" ”
Even if it is not pleasing to the eye when looking at Su Muwan, in front of everyone, the demeanor of a queen cannot be lost.
"Xie Niangniang!" Su Muwan got up, and the queen motioned to everyone: "You guys get up too!" ”
Voices: "Thank you! ”
Su Muwan served the queen and sat on the throne, the precious concubine sat on the side, Shangguan Huan sat on the other side, and the other ladies and ladies sat on both sides below.
After everyone was seated, Su Muwan walked to her place, that is, the first position on the left, and then made a salute to the queen: "Queen Mother, since everyone has arrived, then you can start the banquet." On such occasions, it is natural to obtain the consent of the highest authority.
"Well, let's have a seat!"
After Su Muwan heard this, she clapped her hands, and the maids walked in with food.
There are six dishes on each table, only one meat dish, and the others are all vegetarian, Su Muwan didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I don't know if the ladies know the current situation of refugees in the capital!" ”
The ladies have fled their sight, the place where the refugees are located is so dirty, so they will not go to that kind of place, how much shame they will lose.
At this time, a crisp voice sounded, but it was a little girl less than ten years old with pigtails, she said loudly: "Sister Princess, I know, my father and I have been to see them, they are all gray and tattered, and after seeing it, my father is in tears!" ”
The little girl was held by her mother, and she was wearing clothes that had been washed and lost their color, which was different from the simplicity that other ladies deliberately worn, Su Muwan could see that this must be their usual dress.
Su Muwan has a little impression, it seems that there are officials who have been released back to Beijing to report on their work this year, and there is a Bapin county official with outstanding political achievements, but he is honest, so he must be the family members of this family.
"yes!" Su Muwan looked at the little girl with gentle eyes: "Those refugees have no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and their only belief is to enter the capital and find a way to live, so with today's Hundred Flowers Banquet, I also want to ask my sisters and sisters for a little help!" ”
"Today, the emperor praised me for my meritorious work in disaster relief, but which can be completed by me alone, which requires everyone, everyone together, in order to alleviate the situation of refugees! I know that everyone has good intentions and definitely wants to help them, but they don't know where to start, there are too many refugees in the capital, and if every family comes out to give porridge, they will inevitably meet opportunistic people, waiting everywhere, sharing the rations of those who really need it! ”
"As a result, the weak among the refugees will be more vulnerable, and the strong will be more powerful, which is not what we want to see, so the best way is to use it uniformly!"
"Everyone take out the silver taels that you want to help refugees, and we will distribute them together, you don't have to worry, I will keep your silver taels account, and where the money is spent, it will also be clearly recorded, so that everyone will not be confused, so, you think it can be determined!"
"Today, the queen mother is also here, witnessing this matter, and at the same time, I will also inform the saint of this matter in detail!"
