Chapter 91 Making trouble again
At three quarters past four, the Meng family's carriage stopped in front of Cikang Hall.

The head of Cikang Hall received a signal from the steward of the Meng Mansion and picked up the big gong and started beating it hard.

clang!clang!clang!
The people who were holding jars and about to go to Song's soybean oil mill stopped.

"Dear neighbors, today Cikangtang is fortunate to receive a donation of 100,000 kilograms of soybean oil from the eldest lady and daughter of the Meng family. Therefore, I, Kang, would like to express my gratitude to the eldest lady and daughter for their donation on behalf of all the beneficiaries of Cikangtang!"

"The eldest lady and daughter of the Meng family are truly kindhearted. One hundred thousand kilograms of soybean oil is enough to feed Cikangtang for a lifetime, right?"

"A lifetime? I think ten lifetimes are enough!"

"Oh, I'm so exhausted that I want to send my elderly and children to Cikangtang. I can't even imagine the good life of eating oily food every day!"

The people who were watching the fun echoed the sentiment.

Manager Kang continued, "Don't be envious, neighbors. Madam Meng and Miss Meng are also thinking about you."

"Of these 100,000 kilograms of soybean oil, except for the 1,000 kilograms reserved for Cikangtang, the rest will be donated free of charge to the people of Lanzhou City!"

Wow! The people who were surrounding the scene were immediately in an uproar.

"Master Kang, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can ask Madam Meng and the eldest lady to come and explain it to you personally."

Director Kang looked towards the carriage not far away and said, "Please welcome Madam Meng and Miss Meng!"

In the carriage, Meng Shu'er was unhappy. "Mother, why should we show up? Can't we just hand it over to that Kang?"

She is the eldest daughter of the Meng family, and her status is so noble. How could she let those lowly people look at her for nothing?

Meng Shuer suddenly thought of what had happened just now. Gu Ci didn't even glance at her for a moment, and she felt even more depressed.

"Why do you think Tang Zhao has such a good reputation? Isn't it because he's willing to lose face?" Madam Meng sneered, recalling the fame Tang Zhao had when he opened his business. "You should learn from him, so you don't end up with neither a man nor a good reputation."

Meng Shuer's face turned blue and red when she was scolded.

Mrs. Meng ignored her and got out of the car on her own.

Meng Shuer had no choice but to follow.

Amidst cheers, Madam Meng and Meng Shu'er walked to the gate of Cikang Hall with great grace.

Madam Meng enjoyed the people's enthusiasm for a while before she said, "Everyone in Lanzhou City, I am Mrs. Lin, the wife of the head of the Meng family, and this is my daughter Shu'er."

Meng Shuer stepped forward to greet him.

Lin said, "The Meng family has lived in Lanzhou for a hundred years. We drink from the same river and live on the same land as you. The Meng family and you are not family, but we are better than family."

"The prosperity of the Meng Mansion today is inseparable from everyone's support and support. As women, my wife and I cannot work for everyone's welfare in the court like men can. We can only devote more energy to the small matters in the backyard."

The man who first announced the Meng family's soybean oil donation said in a daze, "Why does this sound so familiar to me?"

Qiuyu, who was watching the fun from the side, looked at the man with appreciation, then glared at Lin who was standing on the steps and chattering non-stop. She was clearly copying the girl's words!
shameless!
"Today, my wife and I are donating 100,000 jin of soybean oil on behalf of the Meng family to give back to the people of Northwest China," Lin said with embarrassment. "Although 100,000 jin is a lot, it can't feed everyone. We can only give priority to the poor people."

"As you should," the wealthy families who often donated expressed their understanding. "If we have extra money at home, we can go to the Song soybean oil mill and buy it ourselves. There is no need to compete with the poor people for profits."

"Yeah yeah."

"Thank you all for your understanding," Lin nodded to the wealthy people, then ordered, "Give us some oil."

Manager Kang agreed and said, "Neighbors, please line up consciously. If you don't have containers with you, go home and get them!" Looking at the line of people queuing in front of the big vat to get free soybean oil, those who had just bought soybean oil at Song's Soybean Oil Shop regretted it so much that they ran home to pour the soybean oil into the vat and came back to line up again.

The Cikangtang used palm-sized spoons to serve soybean oil to the people, and the people used the largest containers at home, so the person in charge of distributing the soybean oil had to scoop several spoonfuls just to fill the bottom of the container.

The people who were queuing far behind saw that the team didn't move for a long time, and they couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to look anxiously.

"Why so slow?"

"Yeah, I've been waiting in line for almost an hour, and it's still not my turn."

"You think it won't be your turn until midnight?"

"It's not certain how fast it will go," a man said, tightening his worn jacket. "I'm freezing to death. Why don't you have oily hair in the summer?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around them, who were frozen stiff, echoed, "Yes, summer is so great. The days are warm and long, and there's nothing to worry about waiting all night."

A boy of about seventeen or eighteen hummed, "It's good enough if some of them receive it. It's because Madam Meng and Miss Meng are kind-hearted and used their own dowry to buy soybean oil and donate it to us."

He pouted and rushed to the west. "The Song's soybean oil mill makes this. Can they give it to us for free?"

"Let me tell you, no matter how nice the words are, they are not as real as actually doing something good for the people!"

The people who were talking around thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

Thinking about it this way, the eldest lady of the Meng family and Miss Meng are much more kind-hearted than Princess Zhaoshan!

Qiuyu fiercely kicked the young man who had ruined her girl's reputation.

The boy felt a pain in his knee and his right leg hit the cold, hard dirt road hard.

He looked up at Amity, "You bitch!"

"Bah!" Qiuyu spat at him fiercely. "Who's the bitch? You're the bitch! If you want to praise your master, then praise him. Why are you stepping on Princess Zhaoshan?"

"You're a heartless bastard. I can tell at a glance that you don't understand the law. I'm kindly telling you that slandering the current princess is punishable by death!"

Wow! The people watching the excitement immediately retreated three meters away.

The young man knelt on the ground, his heart almost jumping out of his throat with fear.

But thinking about the lucrative reward, the young man finally gritted his teeth and said, "Am I wrong? If Princess Zhaoshan is really as gentle and kind as the legend says, why would she sell soybean oil instead of donating it to the people for free like the Meng family?"

Haha, he is worthy of being the dog of the Meng family, he is just as shameless as ever. Qiuyu rolled up his sleeves and slapped the boy more than ten times. He was just about to spend some time teaching him a lesson on how to be a good person when he heard a majestic voice from the side.

"The Meng family's free donation of soybean oil was Princess Zhaoshan's idea."

What? The onlookers were all stunned.

Madam Yang, dressed in a lotus green robe, walked up to the young man while twirling her Buddhist beads and explained, "In Jing'an Temple, Madam Meng lost a bet to Princess Zhaoshan. Princess Zhaoshan asked the Meng family to donate 100,000 kilograms of soybean oil to the people and soldiers in the northwest."

"This bet is known to all the ladies and daughters of the noble families who attended the ceremony," Madam Yang said, looking at the bruised and battered young man kneeling on the ground. "The wife and daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery were also present that day. As a servant in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion, how could you not have heard a word of it?"

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery: You are sitting in someone else’s home, but disaster comes from the sky.

Miss Zhongyong Hou: No, is it exposed now?

Author: Yes, that’s right.
