Later, Mrs. General Wang donated 15,000 taels, and the Marquis of Xing'an also donated 15,000 taels. , this number is equivalent to the number donated by Zhao Guogong's mansion and Zhongyong Hou's mansion.

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li listened to the donations from others, and their faces were indescribably dark.

Lu Jiao looked at Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li with a look of embarrassment and said, "Accordingly, the donations from us should not be higher than those of Zhao Guogong's mansion and Zhongyonghou mansion, but today's events were passed before His Majesty's eyes. Later, I will make an account book of the donations from each family and hand it to Your Majesty. If His Majesty sees that our families have donated less, I am afraid that I will think more, so we can only donate this much."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she kindly asked the old lady of Zhao Guogong's mansion and Zhongyong's mansion, "The two old ladies are sure to donate so much. If they are confirmed, I will set this amount?"

The old lady of Zhao Guogong's mansion and the old lady of the loyal and brave mansion were about to die of anger, their faces were indescribably stiff and ugly, and it took a long time before they gritted their teeth and said, "My family donated 25,000 taels."

As the mother's family of the empress dowager, no matter what, you must be higher than others, otherwise, the empress dowager must be embarrassed, and the empress dowager must be angry.

The queen's family had to donate 25,000 taels next.

After the two old ladies said this number, they felt a pain in their hearts. They didn't like anything about Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao smiled and thanked her blessed body: "I thanked the two old ladies for their kindness on behalf of the disaster victims in the north."

Mrs. Pei and the county magistrate Wen'an tried their best to hold back their laughter. If they didn't hold back, they couldn't help but say that Lu Jiao was too narrow.

Didn't you see that the two old ladies were about to be mad at you?

Mrs. Pei and the county magistrate of Wen'an smiled and changed the subject: "We will treat you at noon today. Please go to the restaurant for dinner. It is rare to have such an opportunity to get together and talk."

Many of them agreed, but Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li were so distressed that they could not eat at all. They got up and greeted Mrs. Pei, the county head of Wen'an: "There are too many things at home, so forget it for now, next time we invite Mrs. Pei. Gather with the county lord Guofu."

After the two old ladies were about to take people away, Lu Jiao sighed and said, "Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li are indeed worthy of my role models in the Zhou Dynasty. As soon as I finished speaking, I was in a hurry to go back and get the banknotes."

After Lu Jiao sighed, she said, "Mrs. Zhao, Madam Li, don't worry, I will ask someone to pick it up from the mansion later."

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li paced in unison, and they both cursed Lu Jiao angrily in their hearts, and didn't want to take another look behind them.

Later, Lu Jiao ignored the two old ladies, turned to look at the ladies who participated in the fund-raising activities today, and said, "Thank you for your participation. I'll treat you today. Please go to Bazhen Lou for dinner."

Mrs. Pei, the county magistrate of Wen'an, Mrs. General Wang, and Mrs. Xing'an naturally cheered, and said, "I'll let you spend the money today."

However, the ladies of the King's Party did not want to stay, and quickly got up to express their position, saying that there was something at home.

Lu Jiao didn't force her to stay, as long as the donation was in place, everything else was easy to say.

Lu Jiaowang said to the Hua family members of Princess Jin's mother's family, "Then, should you send someone to send the donations from your families, or should I send someone to pick it up from the house?"

Several people quickly said that they would be sent to Lu Jiao's house later.

Lu Jiao smiled and led someone to send them out.

After these people left, the rest of the people were much more harmonious, and Lu Jiao invited them to the Bazhen Building for dinner.

After dinner, I invited them to the beauty club to enjoy a set of services. After finishing this, it was getting late. Everyone said goodbye to the house. Before leaving, these people told Lu Jiao that they would donate the donation the next day. The donation was sent to the Xie House.

In the evening, when Lu Jiao returned to Xie's house and talked to Xie Yunjin about this, she couldn't help laughing with schadenfreude.

"Don't you know that Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li's faces are green."

Xie Yunjin looked at her and reminded: "You have offended the two old ladies, be careful in the future, don't let them count on you."

Lu Jiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Even if I coax them today, it's useless, because we raised the second prince, this is a sin, since they already hate us, why bother to support them again."

Lu Jiao's words made Xie Yunjin feel remorse in his heart. He looked at Lu Jiao and said, "It's all because I took in the Four Treasures. Otherwise, our family wouldn't have suffered so many calculations."

Lu Jiao glared at him angrily: "It's already like this, what's the point of you talking about it now, it's better to help the Four Treasures."

"Ok."

The husband and wife talked for a while and rested early.

The next day, the ladies in Beijing delivered the donated bank notes to Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao made an account book with the money donated by each family and gave it to Xie Yunjin, who handed it to His Majesty in person.

How to arrange it later will be left to your Majesty to arrange.

When Xiao Yu saw the silver note in the palace, his expression couldn't be better. This time, Lu Jiao raised a total of more than 600,000 taels. Although the money was not a lot, it could buy a lot of food to help the disaster victims survive. In winter, the imperial court will supply another batch of rice seeds to the disaster victims in the north next year, and the snow disaster this time will be passed safely.

"Thank you ma'am for me."

Xie Yunjin replied gently: "This is what the minister and his wife should do."

Because Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao helped Xiao Yu out of trouble, Xiao Yu was very pleasing to Xie Yunjin's eyes. He saw Xie Yunjin's face wrapped in gauze and looked very miserable, so he couldn't help but said with concern: "Is your face alright? "

Xie Yunjin shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there will be no serious problems, it's just that it won't get better in a short time, and it will get better later."

"Well, now that the New Year is approaching, you can rest assured in the house to recover from your injuries, and you don't need to worry about disaster relief. I will arrange for others to do these things."

Xie Yunjin replied ~www.readwn.com~ and asked about the situation of King Ming in the palace.

"The spirit has improved a lot in the past two days, and the wounds on his body have also healed. His body is not bad."

From this, it can be seen that his son is really doing well in Xie's family. In the past, Mrs. Xie took good care of his body, so all those rumors about the abuse of him are rumors.

While thinking about it, Xiao Yu warned Xie Yunjin with concern.

Next, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao kept a low profile and didn't care about the situation in Beidi any more. Everything was decided by Your Majesty.

Now that the New Year is approaching, Lu Jiao is busy with family affairs. In addition to giving New Year gifts to people whom DPRK and China have made good friends with, she also gives gifts to Xie Laogen and Xie Erzhu far away in Qinghe County, and by the way, brings some goodies to Qinghe County. , such as the Han Jiatian family and so on.

In addition to worrying about the New Year's ceremonies and other things for the holidays, Lu Jiao also had to keep accounts, the accounts of the three major workshops in Qinghe County, the accounts of the north and south rare goods stores, the accounts of the beauty club, and the accounts of the vegetable greenhouse.
