Poor family mother and son

Chapter 829 Fundraising

The poor family moved very quickly. Before dinner time, the streets and alleys in the capital were talking about the same thing: Have you heard?Chu Dashan wants to raise food and grass to defend against the enemy, what a strange woman!

In the same day, the headlines of the people's discussions changed again, and the voices were almost the same——

"God! If you want to say, a widow...I'm not slandering Chu Shanren, I'm just discussing the facts... Tell me, if a widow can marry the king of a country, it's already a good destination, right?
But no, they want to swear to the death to defend their home and country, tell me, isn’t this better than us gentlemen? "

"That's not true! Let me see who can say that Chu Shanren is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!"

"Collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country? I think it's a crime of intentional crime! It's the gang of corrupt officials who don't do business and only know how to plunder the people's anointing, killing people with their three-inch tongue!"

"That's right! They don't do useful things for officials, and we ordinary people pay taxes with blood and sweat to support these beasts!"

If there are no good people from Chu, just relying on those gangsters and corrupt officials, can we ordinary people eat soybean oil?Can you wear a cotton coat?Go dreaming! "

"Look at Chu Shanren, how he has been wronged by those grandsons, and he still doesn't forget to send food and clothes to the disaster-stricken areas. This is a good official who is really dedicated to doing practical things for our people!"

"Oh, it's a pity, it's just that it's difficult to grow. I heard that Chu Shanren is nine feet tall, with a leopard head and eyes, and iron face and curly temples..."

People will always imagine a woman with too much power as a powerful man with a bearded face, because such a person will give people a sense of security or threat.

"You can pull it off! You are talking about Zhong Kui! Who did you hear that from? I have seen Chu Shanren with my own eyes!

The year before last, when Voss sent a mission to our place to ask for food, they made trouble at the Blue House and were beaten up by Chu Shanren. I was there at that time!
Chu Shan is not what you say!People can't say that they are beautiful, but they have a lot of energy!How should I put it, heroic and valiant!Much better than the officials of the Dian Ke Department! "

"Isn't beauty ugly?"

"Then do you think you are good-looking? You have a bit of a girlish-masculine look. You look at your own wives. When you don't have enough to eat, don't you all have angular, girlish-masculine faces?"

"Then how can Chushan people compare with us ordinary people? They are so rich, how can they not have enough to eat?"

"You have no conscience in what you said! She is rich, but she grows cotton in different places and lives in the open. She is not as easy as those farmers in the countryside!"

"That's right! If Mr. Chu Shan didn't work so hard, we wouldn't be able to afford that precious cotton."

"This is still a conscience!"

"You are not right! Let me tell you, I saw Chu Shanren go to court a few days ago! I got up early that day, and I saw Chu Shanren wearing a red official robe and a precious blue pearl. He was so big. On the ears, it looks really good!"

"Are you talking about the beautiful pearls or the good-looking Chu Shanren?"

"Chu Shan looks good! His figure..." He gestured to his chest and buttocks as he spoke: "His protruding face, his red lips and white teeth, and his eyes, let me tell you, are authentic phoenix eyes! "

"Why do you look so carefully? It's dark when the officials go to court!"

"It's dark. Didn't someone carry a lantern? I was looking at Chu Shanren's carriage. I was with him. It seemed to be a bigger official. I didn't understand, so I was driven away by him!"

"Ah..." This remark made everyone feel sorry, but someone immediately asked, "Why did you get up so early? I'm afraid you didn't sleep all night?"

"Yeah, did you go shopping in Hualouzi? Sneaking home before dawn? Your mother-in-law looks really good..."

So it caused a lot of laughter.

When it was rumored that Chu Qing was going to marry King Voss, the people didn't pay much attention to her appearance, but instead focused on her status as a widow.

But now, Chu Qing has become a "Chu Shanren". As a woman, in addition to being an official, she also has to go to the battlefield in person.

For example, people are beautiful, kind, and capable, and they don't like red clothes and prefer armed forces.

The road has turned powder.

……

People are always like this, when they think a person is good, they hope that person has all the virtues.

Therefore, under the trend of public opinion deliberately led by Xiaobao, the people in the capital quickly formed a "fan circle", and they clearly stood up and shouted for their "idol".

This wave of operations spread the news that Chu Qing was going to the battlefield.

At the same time, Mrs. Hong Guogong stepped forward and led a fundraising campaign. Half of the money and food raised were used to help the earthquake-stricken areas rebuild after the disaster, and the other half was used to support the "Iron Lady" Chu Qing to fight against the enemy.

The mistresses of the back houses of various mansions were frequently "visited" by the relatives of the generals' families. As the upper class in Kyoto, they had to be coerced into donating a lot of money and food.

Immediately afterwards, the ladies of the nobility also launched a vigorous fundraising campaign, initiated by Liu Yufang, the granddaughter of Liu Ju, Minister of the Household Department.

Liu Yufang posted posts to these ladies one by one, and then arranged a time to hold a party at home. The theme was: Chuqing is for me, I am for Chuqing, everyone is responsible.

The general content is that if Voss can open his mouth today, he will ask Master Chu. If the court agrees, Master Chu will have to marry Voss away; so, what will Voss ask for again tomorrow?
This time it was Chu Qing, so it's hard to guarantee that it won't be them daughters next time. Didn't they listen to what the notorious Zheng Xiaoxian's father, Zheng Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said about Princess Daxuan and the daughter of a family?

They can't be the masters of the court, but they must support Master Chu's righteous deeds, because Master Chu is making the leader, the leader, and the vanguard for the discord of the Daxuan woman.

Master Chu represents the interests of them.

This starting point was unanimously recognized by the noble ladies, who expressed their support one after another.

Princess Zhaohua ordered someone to quietly send 500 taels of silver and a bag of jewelry to Liu Yufang, which was her private house. Princess Zhaohua said that she would also do her part, but asked Liu Yufang not to spread it.

The courtiers ran on and slandered Chu Qing in the court, but their daughters-in-law and daughters were coerced by Mrs. Hong and Liu Yufang, so they had no choice but to contribute money and resources to help Chu Qing prepare for the war. It's really not worth the candle.

And the practices of these officials' wives and young ladies also made the common people take action.

They can't contribute money to help Chuqing, and they don't have the money to help with disaster relief, but they can still do their part.

Many people began to gather in the government office and signed up one after another, applying to join Chu Qing's vanguard team, the most active ones were actually those beggars.

They shouted: The Chu family's shop has never chased them away, and has always been in charge of food, and they want to repay their favor!

Under the background of this sentiment, the people became more active.

In fact, it is not that ordinary people are not afraid of death, nor do they really have the courage to go to the battlefield, but they just want to express their hearts.

Of course, there are also careful thoughts. They think that wherever Chu Dashan is, he should be safe. After all, he is an official.

Besides, there is also the meaning of being human, because Chu Qing probably won't bring this group of people who have no battlefield experience to the battlefield.

So, they are a kind of "solidarity".

However, taking a ten thousand step back, it is not a big problem to really take them to the battlefield. They know what a woman dares to do. Why don't they dare?
For a moment, the blood of the people in the capital was aroused.
