Chapter 1908 Prayer Meeting

The meeting was held in a quaint old house on Jingwen Road, very close to the palace. It is said that this was the residence of an ancient female poet.

The poet was of great literary talent. When she was quiet, she was as gentle as water. When she was active, she criticized the secular world and lamented the withering of flowers. Her collection of poems has received mixed reviews from future generations, but for women, she is undoubtedly desirable and admired.

The queen back then was said to have loved her poems, so she gave her the Qingmo Ancient House on Jingwen Road. This ancient house is no longer inhabited today, but now the queen has chosen this place. As the office of the Qi Ming Association, its profound meaning can only be considered carefully.

The Qi Ming Meeting is another "chapel" for women. Here, only the wives of officials of the fifth rank and above are eligible to enter, and there are subdivisions, such as those with imperial decrees and those without imperial decrees. Naturally, The divisions are clear and distinct, with equal distinctions between high and low.

For Rong Yi, she doesn't care too much about her grade. What she cares about is how much she can get today.

If the emperor gives this woman's words to them, then she must achieve results, otherwise she will betray the emperor's favor and betray the trust of the Tian family.

At this time, she and Meng Lingying did not show up. They were sitting in the back room. Her nervousness was palpable. Meng Lingying walked towards her, touched her lightly and said, "I'm here today, so you don't have to worry too much."

Rong Yi looked up at her and wanted to smile, but she couldn't force it, so she stared at her eyes and said, "I would like to relax, but this is the first call. The Nanjiang Dam will be built in early July, and in the same month, we will also build a dam in the west." Opening up a vast wasteland, these two things are the most important things to attract money.”

Meng Lingying smiled and said: "It's not enough to just talk to these ladies and get them to donate money to do these two things? We just try our best."

Of course Rong Yi understands that these matters have to be considered by the household department. The donations she has collected now may only be able to solve part of the dilemma. However, if everyone has this idea, what can be accomplished?

Although she was familiar with the princess, it was difficult to say some words too directly for fear of hurting her face. Rong Yi just said: "After all, this is the first job assigned to me. I always want to do it well."

Meng Lingying pursed her lips, noncommittal. She knew that this matter was not easy, so she wanted to relieve her anxiety, but it seemed that... the effect was not very good.

However, her seriousness in doing things is really similar to Brother Xiao, who will not give up until she achieves her goal.

In the Great Hall, the situation was a bit subtle. It was different from the Camellia Party in leisure time. It was more solemn, especially the straight and neat rows of palace maids standing in rows, with expressionless faces that made it difficult to laugh.

No one dares to trample on the face of the Tian family.

When Rong Yi and Meng Lingying arrived, they looked at these ladies and felt calm, because they seemed more nervous.

The princess is in the main seat, and the imperial concubine is sitting slightly to the side, both facing the ladies. It really feels like being an official in the court.

It's just that no one dares to express this illusion clearly. It's taboo in heaven, even if it's a joke.

The princess spoke first and calmed the scene: "Today, I invite you ladies to come here. I believe everyone knows why. There are many state affairs now, no matter how small they are. Each of them costs a lot of money. As soon as the prayer meeting starts , why, I don’t need to explain it, everyone understands it, right?”

The following said in unison: "Understood."

Meng Lingying's expression softened, she stood up and said: "It takes an auspicious day to start this meeting, but now I can't wait, so I have to advance the first meeting. This is also the first time for me to operate. Together with the Crown Princess, we can also I hope you will be considerate and cooperative."

"Yes."

After saying this, she sat down and handed over the main court to Rong Yi.

And when she was speaking, Rong Yi was also ready. Now in front of everyone, familiar and unfamiliar things came into view. After getting rid of her nervousness, she became hardened.

She said: "I have summoned everyone here today. Firstly, I want to get to know each other well, and secondly, I want to settle this matter. You don't have to be restrained, just let go." She spoke softly and softly. After all, she wanted to make this solemn palace It softened a lot, and the people below could breathe a sigh of relief, but they couldn't stop gossiping.

His eyes looked at Mrs. Qin who was sitting silently aside for a while, and then looked at the princess in the upper position.

Not to mention others, there was an embarrassment that was difficult to resolve between the concubine and the Duke's wife.

It can be seen that the two of them seemed to be refined and indifferent, and did not cry about it.

Seeing that the atmosphere below was lively, Rong Yi felt more at ease. She raised the tea cup and said: "Everyone, let's drink this tea together today, start the prayer meeting, and wish that the days to come will be smooth sailing and without disasters. "

After the words fell, everyone came back to their senses and raised their cups. Unlike men, who drank in one gulp and threw it down with their hands, women were reserved, took a sip, wiped the corners of their lips, and then put it down with grace and elegance.

At this moment, before entering the topic, it is obvious that the "military morale is slack."

Rong Yi suppressed the little irritation in her heart and said: "Speaking of which, today you and I can gather here to discuss important national affairs. That is something that I could not imagine before. It is somewhat unbelievable for women to discuss politics. ”

As long as the angle is chosen well, there is no need to worry about unspoken topics.

Sure enough, as soon as the end was opened, someone answered: "Yes, women in the past were all locked in the courtyard and never showed their faces. Even speaking loudly was a luxury. Like now, it's really hard to think about it. It’s a dream.”

"Speaking of which, it is only when our country is better that we can be better. The Emperor is diligent, caring for the people, wise and mighty, bringing peace to the world and giving us women a place to speak. These are all given by the Emperor."

The husband's family of the person who said this came all the way with the emperor, and his words were very biased towards Emperor Meng.

In this case, naturally no one dares to pour cold water on it. The hot stove has been burning for a long time. If you pour a glass of cold water on it, you will only burn yourself.

But some people know how to use the topic to their advantage.

"Yes, everything is fine. It's just that something happened recently that makes people feel depressed."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"It's the incident that happened not long ago..." At this point, the lady paused, quickly covered her mouth, and apologized: "My wife made false statements. I didn't check it for a moment and changed the subject."

Rong Yi smiled slightly and said, "This is the place for you to talk. If you continue, I'm also curious, what is it?"

Sun Qianshi, the wife of the Shangdu Protector, continued: "That's the one who talked dirty in the street and killed two people for nothing..." The word "beast" made her hide it, but the resentment in her eyes said everything.

This matter is not a secret. As soon as it was mentioned, someone remembered it and said, "Wasn't that man tortured a long time ago? He will not survive for his own misfortune!"
