I'm in the Red Mansion

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Daiyu said, "My husband, when I returned this time, I saw that my father was very worried."

"I asked him what was bothering him, and he said it was all about the court. I didn't understand even if he told me."

"I asked him a lot, and he finally told me the truth. It turned out that he wanted money for disaster relief."

"I saw that my father looked haggard and had many more white hairs on his head."

"As a child, I can't help him, so I feel worried."

"My husband, don't worry about me. I'll be fine in a while."

Jia Cong couldn't help but say, "Sister Lin, I'm afraid you have already made up your mind. Why do you hide it in your heart and refuse to tell me?"

"We are husband and wife, we should support each other and share the joys and sorrows. Is there anything you can't tell me?"

After hearing these words, Lin Daiyu felt even more moved.

She couldn't help but say, "My husband, I see my father is so distressed, and I want to help him."

"But if we really want to help, we will have to use the publicity function of the Daxia Monthly Newsletter, and we won't have enough time."

"And the Daxia Monthly Report is a public tool, not a private tool. If I abuse it, His Majesty will inevitably become suspicious of you."

"How can I put you in danger because of this?"

Hearing this, Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister Lin, you are wrong about this."

"Even if you don't tell me, I will use the Daxia Monthly Report to do something for this disaster relief."

"You don't know that I have sent people out to collect some information about the victims, and then brought it back and wrote an article to be published in the Daxia Monthly."

"One of the purposes of establishing the Daxia Monthly Report is to guide public opinion. Now is the time to play its role."

"If there is anything in the future, you must speak it out, don't hide it in your heart."

"I noticed it this time. What if I didn't? You and I are husband and wife, what else is there to hide?"

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu stretched out her arms, gently hugged Jia Cong, then nodded gently and said:
"Husband, I will listen to you from now on. If there is anything, I will definitely not hide it from you."

"By the way, my husband, I want to donate my dowry and then write an article to be published in the Daxia Monthly. I wonder if it is possible?"

Next, Lin Daiyu told Jia Cong the article she wanted to write.

Jia Cong was overjoyed when he heard this.

He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her passionately.

After a long while, Jia Cong said happily: "My wife, you are really my good wife! This article you wrote is really amazing and has helped me a lot!"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Husband, this is not only to help you, but also to help my father!"

Jia Cong laughed and said, "That's also my father-in-law, so helping him is a must."

"But how can I ask you to donate your dowry? I will naturally pay for it."

Lin Daiyu said softly: "Husband, I am not just trying to help you and my father, I also want to do something for the victims."

"Even if I donate my dowry, does that mean my husband won't support me?"

Jia Cong was even more moved after hearing this, and could not help but say, "My lady, you are really kind-hearted. How about this, donate half of your dowry? After all, others don't know exactly how much your dowry is."

Lin Daiyu suddenly asked, "By the way, husband, there are still about twenty days until the next issue of the Daxia Monthly Newsletter is published."

"And not many people have bought it recently. Will it be in time?"

Jia Cong said, "How difficult is that? We can just print another extra issue."

"Also, this extra issue will be given away for free."

……

Next, Jia Cong also started to get busy.

He first called the women together and then asked them to write a few articles.

Jia Cong also took up the pen and wrote several articles himself.

And the manuscript was finalized very quickly. This time, he was working on a supplement.

This issue is about flood prevention and disaster relief.

Therefore, this issue does not have a section for current affairs or chapter novels.

All the poems written in the poetry section are related to flood prevention and disaster relief.

The rest are descriptions of the flood scene, the difficult lives of the victims, and so on.

Jia Cong also painted several portraits of the victims himself.

It took only one day to compile this free publication.

Then Jia Cong asked Xue Baoqin to take it and have it printed overnight, as it would be needed the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Xue Baoqin did not dare to delay and hurriedly took the manuscript and left.

On the second day, a lot of gold and silver were carried out from the Ningguo Mansion, and the streets were filled with dowries.

As for the gold and silver, they are all stored in boxes and cannot be seen from the outside.

But the dowries all over the street can be seen clearly.

It looks like this is the dowry of the bride from Ningguo Mansion.

But I don't know why they brought out the dowry without any money?
How many months have they been married?

There are rumors out there that they are a perfect match made in heaven. Could it be that they are getting divorced now?

The onlookers around were not afraid to make guesses with the greatest malice.

As a result, within just half a day, rumors were flying everywhere.

There are all kinds of outrageous rumors.

On the second day, the people of the capital saw the scene they were most familiar with.

But on the street, some people started distributing newspapers again.

They also went to inquire specifically and got the answer that this time it would still be distributed for free as long as one could read.

This made the people of the capital even more satisfied.

This is right!
This newspaper should be distributed for free!
You see, you sold for so many days these past few days, but didn’t sell many copies?

Now we have to continue to distribute it for free, right?

So, those who could read naturally rushed forward to ask for newspapers.

Those who could not read shouted to those who could read to hurry and grab the newspapers.

Therefore, this time it only took half a day to snatch away all the newspapers.

Of course, Jia Cong did not print that many copies this time, only more than 10,000 additional copies of the newspaper.

The people of the capital city could not wait to have someone read the newspaper.

They couldn't wait to listen to the story of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

It turned out that not many people bought the third issue of the Daxia Monthly Newsletter because it was charged.

Even those who are willing to spend money to buy it are mostly unwilling to share their stories for free.

They paid for the newspaper, so why should they share it with everyone for free? They didn't pay for it.

Therefore, more than half of the people in Beijing had never heard of the third episode of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

So now that they have newspapers, they can't wait to hear the stories.

Who would have thought that those literate people, after flipping through the entire newspaper, could not find the story of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

After flipping through it several times, they finally realized that this issue was a special issue on flood relief. (End of this chapter)
