The girl who wears fast

Chapter 336 I heard that I am the best (23)

"Mrs. Mu came to me so condescendingly, what's the matter?" Zhou Shichu asked after taking a sip of tea. Fumanlou is indeed the largest restaurant in Cuicheng, and the tea is well brewed.

"I didn't invite you to the flower viewing banquet. Why didn't you come? I waited for you in the mansion for a long time, but I didn't see you. I thought I offended you somewhere..." Liu Yan seemed angry but not angry. He said to Zhou Shichu with a half-truth, that appearance, just like an infatuated woman complaining about a heartless man.

Zhou Shichu couldn't help getting goosebumps all over his body, and said quickly: "Mrs. Mu was joking, how could you offend me, a small commoner? On the contrary, I don't know where to offend you... Could it be that you Is my invitation mandatory? I can't refuse?"

When Zhou Shichu said the latter, his expression turned serious, and he stared at Liu Yan sharply.

Liu Yan has a ghost in her heart, how can she resist Zhou Shichu's sharp eyes?Therefore, after being stared at by her, he immediately felt guilty and averted his eyes.

She has always shown people with a gentle and kind face, how can she admit that her invitation is mandatory?Doesn't this mean that you use your power to suppress others?Therefore, Liu Yan hurriedly remedied her guilt after feeling guilty: "Mrs. Zhou was joking, how could she misunderstand that I forced you to come to the appointment? I'm just curious about the reason why you didn't come."

"The reason? It's very simple. I'm no longer Li Wei's wife. I'm just a commoner. If I associate with high-ranking officials like you, my status and status will be unequal. Isn't it self-inflicted? I'm very self-aware." Zhou Shichu Said very frankly, then narrowed his eyes and asked intentionally, "Mrs. Mu must understand my concerns, and won't blame me for it?"

"How could it be? Of course not!" Liu Yan shook her head again and again, she didn't know what was going on, she was the one who could crush Zhou Shichu in terms of status and status, but facing Zhou Shichu, her aura was inexplicably weak Going on, there is no way to put on the airs of the mistress of a city, let alone suppress Zhou Shichu.

"That's good..." Zhou Shichu said with a smile, "By the way, Mrs. Mu, you haven't said what you want from me."

Liu Yan was shocked immediately, and said directly: "Actually, the flower viewing banquet I held two days ago invited so many rich and noble families in the city to raise donations for more and more refugees in the city. Extend a helping hand to these poor victims, donate some property or rice?"

"Of course!" Zhou Shichu heard that this was the reason for her hosting the flower viewing banquet, so he answered happily and immediately agreed.

"The distinguished guests who attended the banquet that day were very kind and generous. They donated a lot of rice and grain. If Mrs. Zhou can also contribute, those refugees will definitely be very grateful for your kindness... What did you say? You, you agreed?" Liu Yan was still trying her best to persuade Zhou Shichu, but suddenly she heard that she agreed without hesitation, and she was a little surprised when she didn't react for a while.

Zhou Shichu smiled and said, "I said I promised to donate some property to help the refugees."

"Why did you agree so quickly?" Liu Yan asked in astonishment. She thought she would agree after persuading Zhou Shichu several times, but it was completely beyond her expectation. Zhou Shichu had no intention of refusing at all.

"Why didn't I agree? It's a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Isn't it worthwhile to donate some personal possessions to save lives?" Zhou Shichu asked rhetorically.

"It's worth it..." Liu Yan said in a daze.

"But I have a request." Zhou Shichu suddenly spoke again.

Liu Yan's heart was raised immediately, she had a feeling of "it really came", and she was relieved, she just said, how could Zhou Shichu cooperate with her so much, so he was here waiting for her, no Knowing what she was going to ask, if it was too much, how would I persuade her?

Zhou Shichu didn't know that she had so many thoughts in her mind, so she said directly:
"I hope that when you use the money I donate, you can record the accounts in detail, such as how much money I donate, and what is it used for, is it to buy clothes, food or houses for refugees?
When buying clothes, how many pieces did you buy, whether you bought them for adults or children, men or women, how much each piece cost, how much did you spend in total? Bowls, and helped a few refugees; if building refugee shelters, what materials were bought, how many workers were hired, and how much was the labor per day...

Wait, these situations must be recorded one by one, and there must be no ambiguity, otherwise I have reason to suspect that you did not use all the donations for refugees, but embezzled them secretly and enriched your own pockets.

Don't think that I am too much, because I want to make sure that every copper plate I donate is really used where it should be used. I think you can understand, right? "

Zhou Shichu fixed his eyes on Liu Yan and asked back.

Before Liu Yan could open her mouth, Qingyue, a very protective maid beside her, immediately exploded with anger for her master: "Don't talk nonsense! Madame won't be greedy for your little money, don't slander our madam. I don’t know that my wife has always been the most innocent, kind, and compassionate of the poor people? Even when she saw a beggar on the street, she would kindly offer food and money, but you said she would embezzle your little money? You are insulting the master Virtue!"

Liu Yan blushed when she heard Zhou Shichu's words just now. She felt that Zhou Shichu was using the heart of a villain to save a gentleman's belly. This blatant distrust was humiliating her, so she trembled all over with anger, saying : "I didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to think of me so much! My majestic general's wife has not yet fallen to the point of embezzling charity funds! Since I will raise these charity funds, I will definitely make full use of every cent!"

Zhou Shichu didn't care about the anger of their master and servant. As a donator, couldn't she ask her to open the accounts and accept supervision?
But seeing that the two of them were still very angry, they continued to persuade them with good intentions: "I ask you to disclose the accounts, and it is also for your own good.

Think about it, if you don't disclose the accounts, will other people who donate money think in private that you are just using the refugee matter to gain fame and reputation, and you don't really care about the refugees, and you may even suspect that you are using public welfare for personal gain and embezzling charity. Money, full of money...

But if you mark the purpose of every donation, record it in detail, without any mistakes, then people will think that you are really noble, smart and capable?And they will definitely trust you more, and think that you are a person who really does practical things, and the donated money is handed over to you for use, which couldn't be more correct.

Also, you can guarantee that you are clean and honest, and that you will not embezzle charitable funds, but what about those people below?Can you guarantee that the hired workers you send to buy and provide disaster relief will not embezzle a single coin? "

Zhou Shichu used her three-inch tongue to successfully extinguish the anger between Liu Yan's master and servant.
