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

Chapter 583
In fact, this lady didn't have any scheming, she simply thought that the female family members of the Mu family were not of high status, but had a high level of vision. Since such a fundraising event was organized, they shouldn't show face to them, although their status is poor. A little bit, but the desire to do good things for the people is no worse than those of the wives. Since the Mu family has learned from Yue Xi and the others, why not learn it thoroughly.

Mu Jiaqing frowned slightly when she heard this, but she also noticed the difference. Looking at the people who came, she couldn't help but feel even more puzzled. She recruited her maid and gave a few words in her ear before returning to the room. Next to Rong Xian, he told her the few words he heard.

"How did this happen?" Rong Xian also frowned, "Yesterday Princess Yuexi also recruited people to raise donations, but our family didn't receive the post, what's going on?"

"Mother, Princess Yuexi and Mu Shuyao are the best friends." Mu Jiaqing said, "Maybe she was the one who got in the way."

"Impossible, it's not good for her to do this." Rong Xian still frowned and said, "Although she has nothing to do with the Mu family, her surname is Mu after all, the Mu family is ashamed, and she doesn't necessarily look good. "

After thinking for a while, he finally said: "No matter what, people are here, we can't drive them out, let's start collecting donations."

Rong Xian made a final decision, and the maids and women brought up the prepared boxes and other things. Rong Xian stood on the steps and said a few words, and then began to encourage everyone to donate money and things.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, although Rong Xian also felt that the status of these guests was a little low, but fortunately they were quite generous, at least more than a hundred taels of money and things.

When it was the turn of the girls in plain clothes, she was a little embarrassed, and she just took out an old cloth bag from her bosom and handed it over. Mu Jiaqing felt something was wrong when she saw the cloth bag, so she ordered someone to open it on the spot, and there was only A dozen taels of broken silver.

She came up angrily, suppressing it all the time, "You're sending a beggar, and you're ashamed to take out such a small amount of money."

The young lady's face became even redder, she pursed her lips and whispered: "This is all my pocket money, I have saved it for several years..."

She had just finished speaking when she was interrupted by Mu Jiaqing: "You untouchables, I'm afraid you haven't seen anything big in your life, and you're lucky enough to come to our house today. More money than this." The implication is that these people came to the Mu Mansion to eat and drink.

The woman who spoke just now quit, and said loudly: "The concubine is a concubine after all, and she can't even say a word. The owner of Yuexi County and Princess Qinghe both said that the donation is voluntary, no matter what money is paid More or less it’s all in our hearts, the lady and the lady only took a few taels of silver yesterday, Princess Yuexi is still polite to him, why come to your Mu’s house, we people have become cheaters If you don’t do good deeds sincerely, don’t imitate others, what is the most annoying thing.”

As soon as she finished speaking, people echoed her.

Rong Xian was about to open his mouth when he saw that things were not good, but Mu Jiaqing yelled angrily, "Get out, get out of here!"

It doesn't matter if she scolded her, the people who didn't say anything were not happy anymore, people said: "Get out, get out! We won't come if you invite us in the future, your concubine daughter of Mu Xiangfu is so uneducated, it seems that Mu Xiang He is not a good official who loves the people like his own sons, and when we go back, we will have to raise the issue with the men in charge, even though they can’t listen to the heavens, they can keep the common people from being deceived, hmph!"

With this cold snort, the people quickly dispersed.In the blink of an eye, only Rong Xian, Mu Yanran, Mu Jiaqing, and a few servants of the Mu Mansion were left in Nuo Da's garden.

Mu Shuyao naturally brought Huarui Xiaofang out along with the crowd, and when they reached an empty alley, the three of Mu Shuyao wiped off the makeup on their faces, restored their original appearance, and entered their house through the back door pastry shop.

"I tell you to go down, the shop will stop making those exquisite snacks recently, steam more white flour steamed buns, and sell them at the original price of one penny. When you meet the widowed old man, the child who has no parents, no money will be charged." That's fine too."

When she came out today, she took the opportunity to walk around the street, and found that the business in the capital was basically in a state of paralysis, only a few food shops were still open, and the people behind it were just to make a fortune. Steamed buns can only be bought for ten yuan now, and they have shrunk a lot, about the same size as steamed buns, so there was an order just now.

Today, the Tianli Palace and the homes of several important officials have been refurbished. The Li Palace has also set up a lot of simple sheds in the front yard for the people who have no place to live for the time being. The guards and servants of the family finally don’t have to sleep in the house. In the corridor, Mu Shuyao sent people to cook, and provided good meals every day.

In fact, ever since Dilong turned over and Nanlan's mission was escorted back, Luo Huang's temples turned white, and he sent someone to send a message to the general stationed on the southern border to pay close attention to Nanlan's movements. In the beginning, the Nanlan Mission looked like they were going to fight a protracted war in Tianli, but when a disaster happened in the capital, they hurried back, disregarding their plans and wishes. Makes people think too much.

Could it be that you want to go back and speak to Emperor Nanlan, so that you can send troops to attack now?
Just when everyone thought that Tianli and Nanlan were going to fight, news came from Nanlan that the old emperor Nanlan was seriously ill. He had three princes but no son-in-law. The three princes were fighting for the crown prince. The world is in dire straits, forming cliques, assassinations and plots, all kinds of means emerge in endlessly, the virtuous king is probably a prince's man, and he rushes to support after getting the news, so even if Tianli is hit by disaster, the border between the two countries is much smoother. There is much less friction.

In fact, now is a good opportunity to attack Nanlan, but now the people in the capital are still displaced, and the faction in the main battle can only press this wish.

At this time, the money raised by Yi Yu and the others was formally distributed to the common people through the Ministry of Household Affairs, under the supervision of Luo Huang, who helped the common people rebuild their homes, and donated porridge and medicine.

At the same time, the farce staged in the Mu residence also reached Luo Huang's ears.It stands to reason that those people's official positions are low, and some of them are merchants, and their remarks will never be known to Luo Huang.

The bad thing is that this is an extraordinary period. In order to ensure that the people in the capital can live in spacious and bright houses before winter, and to ensure the lives of the people affected by the disaster, Luo Huang sent many censors in casual clothes to supervise the various officials. He also listened to the voices of the people, so the farce was spread to Luo Huang's ears by word of mouth.
