172: Throwing a lot of money
"In the evening, the county commander came over and told us about the fundraising situation in the past two days, and the amount of silver raised so far is less than 5,000 taels. And in the past two days, Changdao County has basically raised donations. The day before yesterday and yesterday, they all came to collect donations, and today there are basically no people to raise donations. Fang Yu replied.
Hearing this answer, Tao Qiqi had already known it, but it was already surprising to be able to raise five thousand taels of funds.
After all, the money she raised that night was only more than 3,000 taels.
It was also donated by the big families in the entire Changdao County.
I didn't expect that the retail investors who came to raise donations in the past two days could also donate more than 1,000 taels.
In this world, there are still many good people.
That's nice!!
"I still have two thousand taels here, and I have been with you all the way, and I can't spend any silver. It's enough to save a little loose silver. It is better to take out the money to help the suffering villagers than to carry it on your body and have no place to use it. At this time, Jiang Su took out two silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Tao Qiqi.
Tao Qiqi looked at the silver ticket handed over by Jiang Su and did not refuse. Stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite to Aunt Jiang for the villagers." ”
"I have five hundred taels here." Fang Yu also handed the silver ticket he had prepared from his arms to Tao Qiqi.
Although it cost her money to buy a shop and open a shop with almost the same amount of money, her shop business is not bad, and she has made some money in the past month or so, and then she helped Tao Qiqi Restaurant before, Tao Qiqi also gave her some, and got together for five hundred taels.
But this time, looking at Fang Yu's silver, Tao Qiqi refused.
"Keep this little money for your own business in the future. And you have earned some money with great difficulty, and you must save it for a dowry for yourself in the future. If we can't handle the affairs of Jinxiang County now, we can still apply to the above, and we must always believe that the above will definitely not care. ”
Fang Yu: "We naturally believe that the third brother will not care, but the emperor is far away, and the distant water can't save the near fire, and now it looks like the New Year is coming in a month, and the suffering villagers don't know how to live."
Now we are here, and we are also trying to help the suffering villagers, one counts as one. It's a big deal, and when the time comes, let the third brother compensate me alone for a generous dowry. ”
"I think what Xiaoyu said makes sense, one counts as one, this is my share, although it is not much, but it is better than nothing." Qi Mei also took out part of her family and handed it to Tao Qiqi.
Listening to the words of the family, in the end, all the peaches were accepted.
Later, if it is not enough, she will think of a way.
There should be a few days before the letter she sent to Yongdu should be replied to.
Strive for Shan Qing to come back with good news.
"By the way, let Shan Qiang send a letter back to Jiangdu to his grandmother, haven't you come back yet?"
"It's back, it's back." As soon as Tao Qiqi finished speaking, Shan Qiang's voice sounded from outside the door.
With the voice, I saw Shan Qiang walking towards them quickly, and when he entered the house, he picked up the teapot on the table without saying a word and drank it directly.
It wasn't until a pot of tea was finished that he put down the teapot and wiped the tea stains from the corners of his mouth.
"Why are you so thirsty, do you want to add another pot?" Lixia asked.
Shan Qiang waved his hand, "No need." Then I saw him take out an envelope and a cloth bag from his arms and hand them to Tao Qiqi, and then the package on his back was also taken off and handed to Tao Qiqi.
"The letter was written by Madame's father to the girl and the ladies, and the cloth bag was prepared by the old man and the old man. They knew that the girl was here to help the suffering villagers, and they were worried that the girl would be sleepy for the silver, so they prepared 10,000 taels of silver tickets. ”
"In addition, the master also said, if it is not enough, tell him, he will find a way. Inside the package were the clothes that the old lady had made for the girl. It was supposed to be used as a greeting gift, but the old lady was worried that the girl would catch a cold from running around, so she asked me to bring it over to the girl first. ”
Looking at the 10,000 taels of silver tickets that suddenly fell from the sky, as well as the new clothes made by her grandmother, Tao Qiqi suddenly lost her mind.
Especially the 10,000 taels of silver tickets.
It was given to her by her grandfather and her father, whom she had never met, and although it was for her to help refugees, the starting point was still because of her, and he didn't want her to be stranded for money.
Just because I didn't want her to be sleepy, I spent a lot of money.
Ten thousand taels is not a small amount.
Just take it out and give it to her, support her to do what she wants to do, to solve the difficulties of refugees, which is not something that any family can do.
What's more, she had never met them before.
Even if her father used to be a general, he should be very rich in his hands, and 10,000 taels may not be nothing, but it also depends on his mind, and being able to take it out is enough to explain his mind.
It shows that even if she has never met her daughter, he has already accepted her.
This made Tao Qiqi, who had always been worried, feel a little flattered in an instant, and it was really not an ordinary flatter.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that her father had already accepted her without meeting her.
Not to mention grandfathers and grandmothers.
Grandmother was obviously not in good health, and she was worried about her, so she made clothes for her and had them delivered.
"Seventy-seven, seven-seven." Qi Mei on the side saw that Qiqi was motionless, so she tugged on her sleeve and shouted.
Called twice by Qi Mei, Tao Qiqi finally came back to his senses, took the cloth bag and the letter handed over by Shan Qiang, and then put the silver in his pocket and began to read the letter.
The content of the letter is very simple, and it is all about household things and things that they don't have to worry about.
After reading the letter, Tao Qiqi handed the letter to her mother, and she went to try on the new clothes made by her grandmother.
There are two sets in total, and the grandmother said in the letter that she and Xiaoyu have one set.
So when he opened the package, Tao Qiqi took a set and handed it to Fang Yu.
Seeing this, Fang Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "This is what Grandmother made for you, I can't ask for it." ”
Tao Qiqi: "Take it." Grandmother has already explained in the letter, we sisters have one set. Go ahead and try it to see if it fits. Both sets are the same, and the size can only be known by trying. ”
"There's a word on it." Shan Qiang stepped forward and reminded, "The girl's set is a seven, and the little jade girl's is a jade." ”
"Here."
"Really, then this set is yours, and this set is mine." After Shan Qiang's reminder, Tao Qiqi found that there were really embroidered words on it, and then picked up another set and changed it with Xiaoyu.
Then they both ran back to their rooms to try it out.
Changing into the new clothes made by her grandmother, Tao Qiqi changed back into her daughter's clothes.
Looking at her daughter pretending to be herself in the bronze mirror, Tao Qiqi smiled happily.
In the future, she will also have a father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother.
That's nice.
There is no need to worry that her father will not recognize her, and her grandfather and grandmother do not like her granddaughter.
