Chapter 261: The Beggars at the City Gate

"I don't know how long it has been, I haven't received another donation of 10,000 taels, with this money, the disciples of Tiandu Academy will be able to hand over a lot of money to the Imperial City Charity Hall this year!" Zhao Xian'er said happily.

That Meng Yufei also said: "Come on, didn't the third prince give us 10,000 taels last time, plus some fragmentary losses in the past, this year I can give more than 20,000 taels of silver to Shantang, and I can do a lot of good deeds!"

The lights in the wing room were bright, and several girls collected the donations, counting them piecemeal, if it wasn't for the 20,000 taels of silver brought by Zhao Xian'er, the others would only add up to a few thousand taels.

"If it weren't for these ten thousand taels, we would be standing in Bilian Lake today, this Guo family son is really a good person, he will give us such a big help as soon as he makes a move, and the one named Fu Xiaowa is too picky, he can't bear a few taels of silver, Xian'er, why do you want to be friends with such a person!" Meng Yufei pouted.

Zhao Xian'er didn't know what to say, she said: "Donations are everyone's freedom, and they can't be forced, maybe this silver tael is really important to him, you look at the clothes he wears, you know that his life is not rich, not everyone is as worry-free as us!"

"Forget it, anyway, we're not short of those taels of silver, let's take a good look at the silver ticket of 10,000 taels, oh Huo Huohuo, it's so beautiful, the pattern on it is so cute!" Meng Yufei took the silver ticket and rubbed it on her face.

"Yufei, maybe this Guo Gongzi can meet your requirements, hundreds of thousands of taels shouldn't be a big problem, be careful!"

"Such a Guo Gongzi, I can still consider it!" Meng Yufei said with a wicked smile and touched his chin.

"It's a pity. People are here for the Xian'er girl, hahahaha!" The two girls next to her, Xue Lingxiang and He Yarui, dismantled her platform.

"Xian'er has three princes, he is not a vegetable, and I still have to think about it, hum!" Meng Yufei said unconvinced.

"Okay, don't talk about anything else, hurry up and sort out the donations, and tomorrow, we will go to Zongshan Hall to hand over the money!"

"I'm so tired, there's nothing more fun than counting money. It's a pity that it's someone else!" Meng Yufei counted familiarly. Looks like it's not a lot of work.

Shantang, a traditional institution in the imperial city, has existed since I don't know what year and month, and there have been several dynasties. It doesn't matter what generation of kings it is. None of this institution has been taken seriously. Because what Shantang does is to gather the donations of good people from all over the world, and then use the donations to the places where the entire empire needs donations most.

The scale of the Zendo is huge. And there are many good people in the entire empire, just like the Guo family, who donates hundreds of thousands of taels every year, and other rich old ladies and lords, who want to do good deeds, donate the money to the General Charity Hall.

When you enter the charity hall, there are many people coming and going in it, and there are also many people who operate the organization. Zhao Xian'er followed Meng Yufei to the reception room of the general manager.

Zhao Xian'er knocked on the door with Meng Yufei, only to hear a middle-aged male voice from inside: "Please come in!"

Zhao Xian'er and Meng Yufei followed, this is the place where they often come, only to see the sandalwood inside, quiet and peaceful, in the middle of the wing, a huge good word of dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

Sitting in front of the desk was a middle-aged man, and this middle-aged man was Xu Yonglong, the head of the Imperial City General Charity Hall. Zhao Xian'er, as the main person in charge of Tiandu Academy's contact with Zongshantang, came here a lot, but when she saw this Xu Yonglong raise her head, and saw that it was Zhao Xian'er who arrived, she stood up and greeted her: "It turned out to be a Xian'er girl, if you miss the distance, come and sit down!"

Xian'er and the best friend Meng Yufei smiled lightly and sat down elegantly, they didn't come to this good hall often, and they didn't feel restrained. saw that Xu Yonglong, the master of the good hall, was busy serving tea and pouring water, and then sat down on the sandalwood chair next to him.

"Miss Xian'er is back this time, let's send money to Shantang again!" said Xu Yonglong with a smile.

Xian'er smiled and said, "Hall Master Xu guessed so accurately, knowing that Xian'er is sending charity money this time!"

"It's not time to see Miss Xian'er once or twice, as long as Miss Xian'er comes, she will definitely come with donations!"

Zhao Xian'er took out the 23,000 taels of silver tickets that had been redeemed from her pocket, put them on the table and said, "This is the donation raised by Tiandu Academy."

Seeing that the silver ticket was twice as much as the one that had returned, the master of the hall couldn't help but say: "There are really few enthusiastic and charitable and beautiful girls like Miss Xian'er now, on behalf of the Imperial City General Benevolence Hall, on behalf of the people who are suffering in the world, thank Miss Xian'er!"

Zhao Xian'er said: "For the people of the world, for the people of the world, Xian'er has been working hard, I only hope to be able to do a part for the goodness of the world, Xian'er will know enough!"

"Miss Xian'er's temperament is really for the great goodness, great benevolence, in the imperial city, among the famous ladies admired, there is only Miss Xian'er!"

"Hall Master Xu's praise made Xian'er embarrassed, I heard that there was another famine on Xiyun's side, I don't know if it's true?"

"Indeed, Miss Xian'er sent this silver tael, at least you can buy 10,000 catties of food, I don't know how many people can be saved, Miss Xian'er is a great good, and the great merit accumulated!"

Zhao Xian'er said with relief: "In this way, even if Xian'er is tired to death, it is worth it, and next time I will work hard to raise more donations!"

"That is to help more people, and thank you to Miss Xian'er on behalf of those who will be rescued in the next generation!" said the hall master with a salute.

"No thanks, the same people who are suffering for the world, Xian'er's silver has been handed over, so I won't disturb Hall Master Xu!"

"Miss Xian'er, do you want to stay for a small meal, so that Xu can do his best as a landlord!" The hall master Xu glanced at the faces of the two girls left and right.

"Well, there's no need for it, what's so embarrassing!"

"It's rare for a girl to come back, and she has never done anything in the next place, please give me a little noodles in the next place!"

"This ......"

The best friend felt a little hungry, so she agreed on behalf of Zhao Xian'er: "Okay, then we might as well be respectful!"

The hall master suddenly laughed and said enthusiastically: "That's very good, come, there is a small restaurant next to the good hall." It tastes good, we often go there to eat, let's go, I'll do the east!"

While speaking, Zhao Xian'er and her best friend followed Hall Master Xu out of the General Shan Hall, and Hall Master Xu explained some matters in the hall to the people below, and led Zhao Xian'er and Meng Yufei to the small restaurant next to them.

But I saw that the scale of this small restaurant is not small, with golden signboards, and it is also very lively, with people coming in and out. And none of the people who came were ordinary people. It looks like the clothes are all rich businessmen and people in the government.

"Please, the food here is really good, I hope the two girls like it!"

Zhao Xian'er and Meng Yufei entered the dining hall and looked around. Everywhere is resplendent with gold. No matter what kind of person you entertain, it's classy. Meng Yufei felt that she had run so far on her legs. Eat a meal to make up for a tonic body, but I didn't expect that the reception would be so grand.

Enter a private room. With a high-end table and a dedicated musician, this is a very comfortable and enjoyable hospitality, and no matter what kind of officials and friends will be satisfied.

A table full of dishes, Master Xu warmly entertained, as good as the landlord, then Zhao Xian'er and Meng Yufei looked at each other, and they were entertained, so they had to eat.

Finally finished eating this meal, and finally saw that the master of the hall called someone to settle the bill, and the settlement was one thousand taels, and the master of the hall called the boss to hang on the account of the general good hall. Zhao Xian'er and Meng Yufei couldn't say anything in person, after all, the officialdom and shopping malls in this imperial city were like this, and they were also acquaintances with Hall Master Xu, so they didn't say anything.

The two girls, who were greeted very thoughtfully, walked out of the small dining hall with a full meal and drink, and their expressions looked a little blank. They don't know how much of the money will end up going to the victims.

Walking on the streets of the imperial city, neither of them said anything, but they saw that Mengyu said: "Xian'er, don't worry about it, at least, this one, some of it will fall to the victims, we also tried our best, now even if we take the donation, we don't know what to do good!"

Zhao Xian'er looked at the remaining dozens of taels of silver in her hand, what can she do with this fraction, it is true that this imperial city is huge, but this money is not of much use, and there is no way to send it to the victims of Xiyun.

Zhao Xian'er's hand holding Yin Liang tighter, she was indeed powerless, she only had a good heart, but she resented her incompetence. But at this moment, feeling Meng Yufei's push, Zhao Xian'er felt that she looked in the direction shown by Meng Yufei, but saw that it was a very high-end jewelry store, goodbye, a familiar person, that Xu Tang Master, was walking out around a bewitching woman, and the woman's expression was very joyful, as if she had received the gift she wanted.

Looking at this qiē, Zhao Xian'er felt helpless, staring at the hall master Xu who walked out of the jewelry store, she would not catch the hall master Xu, and then hate to take a beat, she could only watch that their efforts over the years, and the final donations, actually flowed into such a place.

Zhao Xian'er looked at the dozens of taels of silver in her hand, smiled helplessly, Meng Yufei also smiled, and the two shook their heads at the same time.

Two gloomy figures, walking on the streets of the imperial city, at this time, Zhao Xian'er saw a familiar figure walking by, but saw that this figure was carrying a large bag of things, it was indeed a big bag, and this scene was also very familiar.

Seeing this figure, he quickly walked through the streets, and then walked out of the city gates. This made the two girls very strange, this Zongshantang was by this city gate, and they also walked for a long time before they came here.

The two of them have always been curious about what that Fu Xiaowa is doing when he carries a lot of steamed buns on his back every day. The two girls looked at each other and decided to follow together.

But seeing that this city gate is a few steps away, it is nothing to see, and the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop the two girls, but just looked at the two extremely beautiful girls and drooled.

Fu Xiaowa came to the city wall as usual, but saw that the scale of those beggars was more and bigger, and the beggars nearby heard that there were often people giving out steamed buns here, and they couldn't help but gather over, and a large group of beggars, black crows, and crows.

Seeing Fu Xiaowa's arrival, there was a crowd of people all of a sudden, Fu Xiaowa collected a lot of steamed buns, it was a meal with 10,000 people to eat, and the steamed buns he carried back were almost half a person high.

"Brother, you are here, we are waiting for you!"

"The steamed buns are here, come on, line up, there are still vegetables here, rub the sores for you!" Fu Xiaowa shouted happily. ''''' (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
