Chapter 78 Fundraising
When Chu Qingyun returned to the Chu Mansion, Zhiqing undid her hair bun.

"Hiss—" Chu Qingyun frowned, this was already the fifth time tonight.

"Girl, I'm sorry, girl, I..." Zhiqing blushed, tears streaming down her face.

Although Zhiqing is not very old, she has a steady temper. She has never combed her hair like this, and she has never cried because of such a trivial matter.

Chu Qingyun was already sensitive, and immediately sensed that Da Ou Zhiqing was in the wrong mood, and said softly, "Although you and I are masters and servants, we grew up together, what difficulties did you encounter?"

Zhiqing sobbed: "Girl, I'm fine, I'm just... flustered."

"For no reason, why are you panicking?"

"I...my...grandmother was visiting relatives in Linxian County recently. Uncle Liu said that most of the people I met recently were from Linxian County. I'm worried..."

Zhiqing followed Chu Qingyun every day, even if Chu Qingyun didn't tell her, she could still guess.

Chu Qingyun: "Since your mother is there, I can't hide it from you. There is an epidemic in Lin County."

Zhiqing twisted her handkerchief in a panic: "Girl, my mother... will..."

Seeing her restlessness, Chu Qingyun couldn't bear it: "Don't worry, I'll let Uncle Liu search among the homeless people first, if you can't find it, I can find a solution for you."

"Besides, the imperial court has sent people from the Imperial Hospital, so there shouldn't be any serious problems."

Zhiqing sobbed, and slowly calmed down, Chu Qingyun patted her on the shoulder: "Go, let Dong'er take care of you today."

The next day, Chu Qingyun allowed Zhiqing to go outside the city to look for her relatives. After giving porridge during this period, Uncle Liu had gotten to know the refugees a lot, so Chu Qingyun felt relieved.

But at night, when Chu Qingyun came back from her errands, she found that Zhiqing's eyes were red, she knocked over the vase, and broke the plate.

Chu Qingyun knew that she must not have found it.

Most of those who sneaked out from outside the city were middle-aged men, and there were very few women, especially old women, so it was normal if they were not found.

"Dong'er, go get two boiled eggs!"

Dong'er was surprised: "Girl, what do you want boiled eggs for? But are you hungry?"

"Go." Chu Qingyun didn't say much.

After Dong'er left, Chu Qingyun knocked on the table: "I know you're sad, but you're the only big maid in my room, and even when it's time to lose your head, you can't lose your tricks."

Zhiqing choked up while tidying up the broken pieces of red porcelain on the ground: "What the girl said is that Zhiqing was too flustered, but... but Zhiqing couldn't control it."

Zhiqing's loyalty need not be questioned, and she is considered stable, but she still lacks the ability to make decisions when encountering things.

"What you can do now is not to be sad, nor to cry." While comforting Zhiqing, Chu Qingyun also helped her analyze: "Your Majesty has already sent Gao Jianwen to Lin County, the First Prince will definitely not let go of such a great favor." If you have a chance to do meritorious service, the situation will get better."

But analysis is analysis, Chu Qingyun did not fully place her hopes on Gao Jianwen, she made two-handed preparations: "I have asked Uncle Liu to pay attention to the situation outside the city. After three days, if the situation outside the city is still not optimistic, you go with me Lin County."

Zhiqing looked at Chu Qingyun gratefully, nodded her head vigorously, and Dong'er happened to walk in with an egg.

"Girl, do you want to eat the eggs you want now?"

Seeing the child's silly look, Chu Qingyun couldn't help laughing: "Don't give it to me, take it back and rub Zhiqing's eyes."

"Sister Zhiqing? Why are your eyes swollen into walnuts?" Dong'er jumped up belatedly: "Which bastard bullied you?"

"Dong'er." Chu Qingyun snorted heavily: "The rules!"

Dong'er stuck out her tongue: "Who dares to bully people from our Chu family, I will fight her to the death."

Chu Qingyun raised her forehead, this child was sent by Nanny Wang after Zhiqiu was dismissed, she said that she was sincere.

This is too honest.

"I'm fine here, you two go down." Chu Qingyun said suddenly, frowning and looked at the two of them: "Zhiqing, teach Dong'er well."

Dong'er didn't know why, so she blinked at her girl, only Zhiqing blushed, she had been training her for a long time, Dong'er was just a straight-hearted person, and dared to say anything.

……

The second day after the eldest prince Gao Jianwen entered Lin County, Chu Qingyun was on duty that day, and before he left the mansion, Yang Nai, who was beside the Empress, hurried into the mansion.

Since the last time when she transcribed the "Heart Sutra", Chu Qingyun hadn't met the queen's people face to face, but she came here suddenly, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

"Mother Yang, what orders does the Empress have?"

Mother Yang said coldly: "Lin County was severely affected by the disaster. For the sake of the common people, the Empress proposed that the daughters of all court officials and daughters of aristocratic families should collect donations. There is no limit to the amount. Miss Chu, please come to the gate of the palace on time to listen to the letter. "

"Miss Chu, don't be too late." Saying that, she left in a hurry and walked towards Zhang's house next door.

Chu Qingyun frowned, when her elder brother Chu Qiuyi went to Xijian, he took a large amount of money, and the rest of the money was enough, but in recent days, the Chu House gave out porridge every day, so there was no money for donations.

The things that the empress gave at Jiji were all registered in the register. They could neither be sold nor pawned.

Chu Qingyun touched the warm jade hairpin on her head and shook her head.

Forget it, the Ye Mingzhu hasn't been sent out last time, so forget it.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, at the gate of the palace.

In Zhongzhou City, there are dignified women from aristocratic families, girls from official families all gather together, and a group of gossip women form a pile of three or five, discussing the things donated by their families, and the air is filled with the rancid smell of comparison and tearing.

The girl from Mr. Yan's family directly brought a box of silver.

The Lan family was not inferior either, and had already placed a thick stack of banknotes on the case.

Chu Qingyun was too lazy to greet anyone, looked up into the distance, looking for a place to breathe, but her eyes caught a woman in a purple gauze dress, Zhang Minzhi?
Because of Lu Jinzhou, Chu Qingyun also paid more attention to Zhang Minzhi.

She was accompanied by a servant girl, who was just like her, weak and weak, as if she was going to cry if she was frightened.

Chu Qingyun nodded slightly at Zhang Minzhi, and the other party smiled and waved at Chu Qingyun, showing the beauty of a lady in every gesture.

Just as Chu Qingyun raised her foot and was about to walk over, the maid beside Lan Chuchu suddenly passed through the crowd.

"Shuang'er." Zhang Minzhi exclaimed, trying to grab her maidservant, but in vain.

The maid named Shuang'er fell to the ground, and the lacquerware box she was holding fell to the ground. Three silver notes and two hairpins were scattered outside.

The maid next to Lan Chuchu looked at the bank notes on the ground mockingly: "Hey, whose family is this? You can get such a little thing."

Chu Qingyun's face darkened.

 It is being pushed up, friends, remember to follow up the three consecutive punch cards, and friends who have monthly tickets can vote for Xiong Er at the end of the month!Bow, thank you!
