The concubine will not accompany you: General, Madam ran away again

Chapter 478 Prayer Meeting

The problem now is that Mu Shuyao also sent her a heartfelt message, and she sent it in front of all the wives and ladies invited by the Mu family, so she couldn't make a mistake at all.

For this blessing meeting, the Mu family thought it was the name of praying for the people affected by the winter disaster. Therefore, not only the wives and celebrities from all over the capital were invited, but even the aunts and concubines from all the houses were invited.

Those aunts and concubines rarely have the opportunity to participate in the grand event, especially when it is held by a family of first-rank officials like the Mu family, so they are very excited to receive the invitation card this time, and they all do it for the purpose of praying Heartbroken, I couldn't bring all the best things I could get with me.

After all, you can't pray empty-handed, and they all understand this truth.

But I never expected that the old lady of the Mu family is really dark!Some wives and ladies think it’s enough to throw a 100 tael silver note, but who knows that the old lady of the Mu family will take the case: the price starts from a thousand taels!
A thousand taels is worth a thousand taels, but after donating a thousand taels, Mrs. Mu still has to give a trembling speech, saying that Tianli's natural disaster is so miserable, as if if they don't donate money to support the national stockpile, Tianli's The people will not be able to survive, and the entire Tianli will perish in minutes.

Even the old lady of the Mu family pulled Mu Shuyao out, saying how and how she took out the money to earthquake disaster, and even the emperor publicly praised her. Although they are soft-spoken, they can do their best for the country Distraction can still be done.

The aunts and concubines who were invited actively responded to the call, and the thousand taels of silver bills were sold without any hesitation.

As for people like Wu Yanfei, no one came at all, the reason is very simple, they all sent out the aunts and concubines from the mansion.

Those aunts and concubines who don't have many opportunities to show themselves on weekdays, but they came with their own good things at the bottom of the box. Whoever sells a hairpin is worth a few thousand taels, so they donate it like this, a little Not even blinking.

Some aunts are even persuading their daughters who can't think about it: "Donate if you have to, your father loves us, and will always find a way to buy us new ones after returning home. There are not many opportunities to contact the Mu family's female family members. Palace banquets are not our turn to enter the palace."

It was a coincidence that just after I finished my persuasion, I heard Mu Yanran saying to a concubine who had donated 5000 taels of silver: "This lady is not often seen in the city on weekdays, and I will have more opportunities in the future." Let's walk around, we know each other today, so let's often come to the mansion with this lady to talk to Princess Li at Prince Li's mansion!"

As soon as these words came out, some prostitutes who were still holding a wait-and-see attitude went crazy in an instant, almost rushing to the donation box.

"I give 3000 taels!"

"I offer four thousand!"

"Five thousand!"

"I'll give you two thousand, and I'll add a set of emerald hairdos!" The lady who said to add a set of emerald hairdos was very bold, and began to pick off the accessories on her head and face on the spot, and threw them all into the donation box .

However, there is also the lady who is still hesitant, "Didn't it be said that Princess Qingwan had nothing to do with the Mu family before she got married? Now that she is the main concubine of Li Wang, it is impossible to help her natal family. How close is the Xiangfu!"

After Mu Yanran heard this, she was about to scold Mu Shuyao happily, but she was stared back by Mrs. Mu, who said with a smile: "Although I said that, every lady who has ever seen a relative The daughter doesn't recognize her mother's family, hasn't Yaoyao been busy these days? We women and Taoists can't help, but we can't make trouble for her, can we?"

Mrs. Mu's words were reasonable, not to mention that the people who came here today were all fourth- and fifth-rank official ladies and everyone's aunts and concubines, and the news at home was not very well-informed.

In this way, as the day passed, each of the invited ladies and ladies collapsed a bit.

At the end of the meeting, they found out that because of being brave for a while, they almost took advantage of all their old backgrounds. They all regretted and felt distressed.

But the money spent is the water that flows out, who can save this face and ask for it back?One by one, they could only hold on to save face and bear it until it was almost over. Except for a little empty promise, they didn't get any substantial benefits.

But these are not a problem for the Mu family, Mu Yongnian and the old lady just care about how much money they have collected in one day.

After the blessing meeting, Mu Yongnian mother and son hid in the Minghui Hall, watching Aunt Liu count the money. At this time, someone from outside came to report, and Princess Li arrived.

"I don't see you." Mu Yongnian didn't even bother to hear who it was, and impatiently waved at the gatekeeper. At this moment, he only had money in his eyes.

Tomorrow he will leave for the Northland, and tonight he must pool 100 million silver to give to the second prince, otherwise the second prince will not spare him.

Mrs. Mu stopped the servant and asked, "Did Princess Li come alone?"

"Go back to the old lady, yes, the princess has arrived in the hall now."

"What concubine, whose concubine?" Mu Yongnian came back to his senses and asked.

"Yao girl is here." The old lady's complexion was a little bit bad, "Hmph, she's ashamed to come, why don't you see her when you need her during the day, now that everything is over, what is she doing here?"

This Mrs. Mu didn't feel that she was taking advantage of others. There was nothing wrong with letting Mu Yanran open her eyes and talk nonsense during the day. Instead, she felt that Mu Shuyao didn't come to the fund-raising meeting organized by her during the day. , let her lose face in front of all the wives and ladies, not to mention those aunts and concubines who can't get on the stage, and some female family members of small official families who can't even go to court.

However, because of Mu Shuyao's identity, the old lady and Mu Yongnian came to the front hall one after the other. Mu Shuyao was sitting first, and Aunt Ye was talking next to her.

When Mu Shuyao saw the old lady and Mu Yongnian coming in, she didn't stand up, she just bowed slightly and said, "Old lady, Lord Mu."

"You rebellious girl, we are all your elders after all, will we die if we stand up to greet her?" Mu Yongnian felt angry when he saw this daughter now.

But Mu Shuyao raised her eyebrows and said, "Master Mu may have forgotten that there is no relationship between us under the control of the father. Now I am only Princess Qingwan and Princess Li. What qualifications do you have for me to welcome you?" you?"

Seeing that Mrs. Mu wanted to speak, Mu Shuyao said again: "I heard that today a prayer meeting was held for Tianli's winter disaster. The old lady is really a bodhisattva. When the Mu family presents the donation in another day, the emperor will definitely Rewarded."

"Why did you present it to the emperor?" Mu Yongnian was stunned.
