The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 529 Jade Avalokitesvara donated for charity
After Feng Yao drank the soup, his body relaxed and his face was flushed.Only then did he ask: "Grandma, grandma, what did Mr. Gu say about the sale of the ten scriptures to raise the army's salary?"

The grandmother said: "I know you are thinking about this matter. I went to Mr. Gu's side, so I naturally agreed. Besides, now that Mo'er is the commander of the Iron Cavalry Battalion, it would be perfect for you to help the Iron Cavalry Battalion raise the military salary." gone."

After a pause, grandma and grandma said again: "However, Mr. Gu thought of your identity, and at this time, Mo'er went out to fight because of the General Chu of Fengjue Kingdom, so I'm afraid it would be a little inappropriate for you to come forward directly. "

Feng Yao nodded, knowing that this is indeed a difficult task.After all, it is an indisputable fact that she is the princess of Fengjue Kingdom.For personal reasons, she naturally hopes that Moli will win and return; but as a princess, no matter where she is at this time, if Fengjue Kingdom loses, she should not have anything to be happy about.

Grandma continued: "So Mr. Gu came up with an idea. This time the charity sale will be held by the Mo family, and your ten scriptures will be the finale. You can also find officials and merchants who have a good relationship to do some The proceeds from donations and auctions will all go to the Iron Cavalry Battalion as military pay."

Feng Yao nodded, "It's the best, and I would like to thank Master Gu for his consideration."

Grandma said: "That's what I said at the time. Master Gu said, the last time I met Yao'er, you hit it off right away, and you also know that Yao'er is dedicated to the people and the military camp. It is really rare for a woman to have such a broad mind and decisiveness. He Naturally, you should do your best.”

In this way, it can be regarded as arranging the charity sale.In fact, before Feng Yao came back, Mrs. Mo was already preparing for this matter.Now it's just for Feng Yao to take this opportunity to go back to Mo's house to recuperate for a few days, she doesn't have to worry about the charity sale at all.

And in the evening of that day, Mrs. Gu's wife came to the door in person and brought a white jade Guanyin statue.It is said that it was Mrs. Gu's dowry back then, and it was specially sent as a donation, and it could be regarded as a contribution to the cavalry camp.

Feng Yao hurried to the front hall when he heard the news, Madam Mo was talking with Madam Gu.Mrs. Gu is also around 40 years old, her appearance is not extremely beautiful, she can only be regarded as delicate and dignified; she is thin and not tall; she is a very ordinary woman.

Feng Yao had heard a long time ago that Mr. Gu was a poor scholar who passed the imperial examination, and he had no background or nepotism to achieve the current position of prime minister, he just relied on his own talent and a heart of caring for the people.Moreover, Mr. Gu is not only clean and honest, but also extremely dedicated. There is only this first wife by his side, and he does not take concubines, nor does he have a girl to fill in the house.

Seeing this seemingly ordinary Mrs. Gu now, Feng Yao couldn't help feeling relieved for this ordinary woman.What kind of good fortune and karma should it be to get Mr. Gu's favor and special affection?The most rare thing in the world is not just a relationship, but even more difficult is the determination to protect this relationship.

When Madam Mo saw that it was Feng Yao, she quickly waved to her and said, "Yao'er is here. Come and meet Madam Gu."

Feng Yao stepped forward to enter the door, bowed to the two wives in a gentle and dignified manner, and thanked: "Feng Yao is very grateful to know that Mrs. Gu came to donate."

Mrs. Gu smiled softly, shook her head and said: "I don't have any good things at home. I've been looking for this one and I can get it. It's good that I don't get laughed at when I send it here. What can I say to be grateful."

Feng Yao looked at the table, and saw a gift box on the table, the box was not big, less than a foot long, so the white jade Guanyin statue inside would not be too big.

Feng Yao asked: "I wonder if this jade Guanyin statue can be seen by Yao'er?"

Mrs. Gu said: "Of course it is possible. If you donate things, it is up to the Mo family to decide. As for the reserve price of the charity sale, I don't have an estimate. I only know that it is something passed down from my mother's family."

Feng Yao listened and nodded, stepped forward and opened the lid of the box.Holding out a jade carving Guanyin with both hands.

The Guanyin statue is really not big, only seven inches in size.It is carved from a whole piece of white jade.Although the carving is superb and the carvings are exquisite, it is a pity that the piece of white jade is slightly flawed. Under the lotus seat of Guanyin, there is a tiny blue pattern on a petal.

This is an inconspicuous place, not to mention that the color of the blue streak is extremely light, and it is only the size and length of two eyelashes.But Feng Yao has seen so many treasures, he has seen many larger, finer, and better quality carvings than this one, the value of such a thing is really nothing.

If you really want to sell it for charity, I'm afraid you can only use your brains on this "righteousness". What you want to sell is not the value of the item itself, but the value of the price of the charity sale and the approval of Mr. Gu.

But Feng Yao also knew that Mr. Gu was incorruptible, so being able to present such a thing was considered a great favor.

Feng Yao smiled, and said gratefully: "This item is passed down from Mrs. Gu's family, and the value of inheritance must be far greater than the value of the jade carving itself. Naturally, its value cannot be measured by real gold and silver. Master Gu and Gu Yao'er understands Madam's wishes."

Speaking of this, Feng Yao is ready to put the Guanyin statue back into the box.But when he put it back, Feng Yao found that the box was crooked, so he held the Guanyin statue with one hand, and straightened the box with the other hand.But with this one-handed effort, Feng Yao's palm touched the bottom of the jade statue, and his hand felt a little ache.

Feng Yao frowned slightly, but put the statue back calmly.

The three sat together and chatted a few more gossips, Madam Gu got up to leave.Feng Yao and Madam Mo sent Madam Gu out of the door all the way before turning back.

The white jade Guanyin statue was still on the table, and Mrs. Mo said, "Yaoer, let's keep this Guanyin statue in your room first. In the past two days, people have been sending donations one after another, and they will be collected by you." Good. You come from a wealthy family, and you must have good eyesight. You will make an estimate of these objects, and you will make a reserve price when the time comes for the charity sale."

Feng Yao nodded in agreement, then pulled Mrs. Mo and said, "Then Mrs. Gu looks like a gentle and delicate woman, so she must be a heartless one, right?"

Mrs. Mo nodded and said: "Yes. I heard that she is not only Mr. Gu's first wife, but also Mr. Gu's childhood sweetheart. After Mr. Gu got the honor in the examination, he was brought out from his hometown in the countryside. She has been a very responsible person all these years. A woman. Although I don't have much contact with her, she is one of the few people who can say a few words from her heart."

After hearing this, Feng Yao nodded and said, "In this way, I can feel relieved."

Mrs. Mo felt a little strange hearing Feng Yao's words, and couldn't help asking: "What does Yao'er mean?"

Feng Yao pointed to the box with Jade Guanyin on the table, and smiled mysteriously.
