Chapter two hundred and sixty first city gate beggars
"I don't know how long it took, but I haven't received another donation of 10,000 taels. With this amount of money, the Tiandu Academy's apprenticeship will be able to pay a considerable amount of money to the Imperial City Hall this year!" Zhao Xian'er said happily.
Meng Yufei also said, "Go to me, the third prince didn't give us 10,000 taels last time. With some fragmented money from the past, I can give Shantang more than 20,000 taels of silver this year, so I can do a lot of good deeds!"
The lights in the wing room were bright, and several girls collected all the donations and counted them in pieces. If it weren't for the 20,000 taels of silver brought by Zhao Xianer, the others would have only been a few thousand taels.
"If it weren't for this ten thousand taels, we would be standing by Bilian Lake again today. This young master of the Guo family is really a good person. He has helped us so much as soon as he takes action. He is also the one named Fu Xiaowa, who is too stingy and can't bear to spend a few taels of silver. Xian'er, why do you want to be friends with such a person!" Meng Yufei curled her lips.
Zhao Xian'er didn't know what to say. She said: "Donation is free for everyone, and you can't force it. Perhaps this silver is really important to him. Look at the clothes he wears, you will know that his life is not rich, and not everyone is as fed and fed like us!"
"Forget it, we don't have that few taels of silver anyway, so I'd better look at the silver bills of ten thousand taels. Oh, it's so beautiful, the patterns on it are so cute!" Meng Yufei rubbed her face with the silver bill.
"Yu Fei, maybe this Mr. Guo can meet your requirements. More than 100,000 taels should not be a big problem, be careful!"
"I can still consider this kind of Mr. Guo!" Meng Yufei said with a wicked smile.
"It's a pity that they came for Miss Xian'er, hahaha!" Xue Lingxiang and He Yarui said to the two girls next to her.
"Xian'er has a third prince. He is not Cai'er, and I have to consider it, hum!" Meng Yufei said unconvincedly.
"Okay, don't mention anything else. Hurry up and sort out the donations. Tomorrow, we will go to Zongshantang to hand over the money!"
"It's so tiring. There's nothing more interesting than counting money. Unfortunately, it's someone else's!" Meng Yufei counted familiarly, and it seemed that she had done this a lot.
Shantang, a traditional institution in the imperial city, has existed since the age and month. Moreover, there have been several dynasties, no matter which generation of kings, there was no such institution, because what Shantang did was to gather the total donation collection of good people in the world, and then use the donations to the places where the entire empire needs the most.
The Shantang is very large, and there are many kind people in the entire empire. Just like the Guo family, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of donations every year. There are other rich old ladies and masters who want to do good deeds, so they donate the money to the Zongshantang.
When he entered the charity hall, there were many people coming and going, and there were also many people operating the organization. Zhao Xian'er followed Meng Yufei to the reception room of the general manager.
Zhao Xian'er knocked on the door with Meng Yufei, and heard a middle-aged male voice coming from inside: "Please come in!"
Zhao Xian'er and Meng Yufei followed him in. This was the place they often came to. They saw the sandalwood inside, quiet and quiet. In the middle of the room, there was a huge word "good" with dragons flying and phoenix dancing.
Sitting in front of the case was a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was Xu Yonglong, the head of the Imperial City Zongshan Hall. Zhao Xianer, as the head of the Tiandu Academy, came here a lot, but when he saw Xu Yonglong raise his head and saw that Zhao Xianer was coming, he stood up and greeted him: "It turns out to be Miss Xianer. If you have any mistakes, come and sit down!"
Xian'er and Meng Yufei smiled faintly. She sat in gracefully. The general shantang and the others came here a lot, and they didn't feel restrained. But they saw Xu Yonglong, the leader of the shantang, busy serving tea and pouring water, and then sitting on the sandalwood chair next to her.
"Miss Xian'er is here again, she is sending donations to Shantang again!" Xu Yonglong said with a smile.
Xian'er smiled sweetly and said, "Lord Xu guessed so accurately, knowing that Xian'er is here to send another donation this time!"
"I'm not seeing Miss Xian'er once or twice. As long as Miss Xian'er comes, she will definitely be sending donations!"
Zhao Xian'er took out the 23,000 taels of silver notes that had been redeemed from her pocket and put them on the table and said, "This is the donation raised by Tiandu College."
Seeing that the silver bill was twice as high as the one who went back, the Master Xu couldn't help but say: "There are very few girls as enthusiastic, charitable and beautiful as Miss Xian'er. I am here to represent the Imperial City General Shan Hall and the suffering people in the world to thank Miss Xian'er!"
Zhao Xianer said: "For the people of the world and the people of the world, Xianer has been working hard all the time. He only hopes to do his best to the good of the world, and Xianer will be satisfied!"
"Miss Xian'er's temperament is really a great kindness. Daren. Among the famous ladies I admire in the imperial city, there is only Miss Xian'er!"
"Xu's praise made Xian'er embarrassed. I heard that there was another famine in Xiyun. I wonder if it was true?" Zhao Xian'er said with concern.
"Indeed, Miss Xian'er can buy at least ten thousand kilograms of grain when she sends this silver. I don't know how many people can be saved. Miss Xian'er is a great kindness and the great merit accumulated!"
Zhao Xianer said with relief: "In this way, even if Xianer is exhausted, it is worth it. Next time, she will definitely work hard to raise more donations!"
"That is to help more people, and I will serve the people who will be rescued again. Thank you Miss Xian'er!" The Lord Xu bowed and said.
"No need to thank you. Both the people who are suffering for the world, Xian'er's money has been handed over, so she will not disturb Lord Xu!"
"Will Miss Xian'er leave a small meal? Let Xu do all the landlords' favor?" Lord Xu looked around and looked at the faces of the two girls.
"No need to do this, why are you so embarrassed?"
"Miss Xian'er has a rare trip, and she has never done anything to do. Please give her a little more than a second!"
"this……"
The best friend felt a little hungry, so he agreed to Zhao Xianer: "Okay, then we might as well obey our orders!"
Master Xu suddenly smiled and said enthusiastically: "That's great. Come on, there is a small restaurant next to Shantang. It tastes pretty good. We often go there to eat. After leaving, I'll make the go!"
While speaking, Zhao Xianer and her best friend followed Master Xu to the General Shan Hall. Master Xu explained some matters in the hall to the people below, and led Zhao Xianer and Meng Yufei to the small restaurant next to him.
But I saw that the small restaurant was quite large, with a golden signboard. It was also very lively. People coming in and out, and those who came were not ordinary people. They were all rich businessmen and people from the government.
"Please, the food here is really good. I hope the two girls like it!" Lord Xu was leading the way.
Zhao Xian'er and Meng Yufei entered the canteen. Looking around, they were magnificent everywhere, and no matter what kind of people they were entertained, they were of high quality. Meng Yufei felt that she had run so far and could supplement her physical strength after eating a meal. However, she did not expect that the hospitality would be so grand.
Entering a private room, high-end tables, specialized musicians, this is a very comfortable and enjoyable meal. No matter what kind of officials and friends you will be satisfied with.
The table full of dishes, Master Xu warmly welcomed the landlords, and the landlords were all suitable. Zhao Xianer and Meng Yufei looked at each other and actually served them, so they had to eat.
Finally finished the meal, he finally saw Lord Xu asking someone to settle the bill. The bill was 1,000 taels. Lord Xu used to ask the boss to hang it on the account of Zongshan Hall. It was hard for Zhao Xianer and Meng Yufei to say anything in front of him. After all, the official shopping malls in the imperial city are like this, and they are also familiar with Lord Xu, so they didn't say anything.
The two girls who were greeted very thoughtfully walked out of the canteen with enough food and drink. Their expressions seemed a little tumultuous. They didn't know how many funds would fall to the victims in the end.
Walking on the streets of the imperial city, neither of them said anything, but saw Meng Yumeng and said, "Xian'er, don't worry. At least, this one will always fall into the victims. We have tried our best. Even if we donate now, we don't know what kind of good deeds we do!"
Zhao Xian'er looked at the dozens of taels of silver left in her hand. What could she do with this fraction? It is indeed the imperial city is huge, but the money is useless. There is no way to send it to the victims of Xiyun.
Zhao Xian'er's hand holding silver tighter. She was indeed powerless. She only had a kind heart, but resented her incompetence. But at this moment, she felt Meng Yufei pushing. Zhao Xian'er felt as if she looked in the direction shown by Meng Yufei, but saw that it was a very high-end jewelry store. Goodbye, a familiar person, the Lord Xu, was walking out around a charming woman. The woman's expression was very joyful, as if she was given the gift she wanted.
Looking at all this, Zhao Xian'er felt helpless and stared at the Lord Xu who walked out of the jewelry store. She would not catch Master Xu, and then she would hate to beat him up. She could only watch that their efforts over the years and the final donations actually flowed into such a place.
Zhao Xian'er looked at the dozens of taels of silver in her hand and smiled helplessly. Meng Yufei also smiled, and both of them shook their heads at the same time.
Two sad figures were walking on the street of the Imperial City. At this time, Zhao Xian'er saw a familiar figure walking by, but saw the figure carrying a large bag of things on his back. It was indeed a big bag, and the scene was also very familiar.
Seeing this figure, they quickly walked through the street and then walked out of the city gate. This made the two girls very surprised. The Zongshan Hall was right next to the city gate, and they walked for a long time before they came here.
The two of them were also very curious about what Fu Xiaowa went back with a lot of steamed buns every day. The two girls looked at each other and decided to follow them together.
But I saw that the city gate was only a few steps away, and it was nothing to go and see. The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop the two girls, but just looked at the two beautiful girls and drooled.
Fu Xiaowa came to the city wall as usual, but saw that the beggars were larger and larger. The beggars nearby heard that people often gave steamed buns here and gathered involuntarily. There was a large area of beggars and the heads were in black crows.
When he saw Fu Xiaowa's arrival, a crowd suddenly surged. Fu Xiaowa collected a lot of steamed buns, which were a rice vegetarian food that thousands of people ate. The steamed buns he carried were almost half a person tall.
"Brother, you're here. We're waiting for you to suffer!"
"The steamed buns are here, come, line up, there are still vegetables here, I'll give you sores!" Fu Xiaowa shouted happily. ```````
