God-given peasant wife's good fortune

Chapter 639 Unexpectedly
[-]

Ouyang Wanruo and Ge Yan sang and sang, sarcasm, and sarcasm, making An's step down, Su Kefang pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "If everyone can be as sensible as Princess Chang'an and Princess Nora, then I will What's the point of helping those refugees outside the city?"

At this moment, Taifu Zhuang had finished speaking, and the voluntary donation of money and goods had begun.

Su Mu, who was standing behind Su Kefang, whispered a few words, and Su Mu raised his voice and shouted: "The Duke Huguo donated one thousand shi of grain, one hundred chickens, one hundred ducks, two hundred catties of live fish, and another hundred Bed eiderdown!"

After she came back from the front line, she asked some craftsmen who knew how to process quilts to build a factory in a small village a hundred miles away from Shengjing City, and sent all the duck feathers that had previously existed in the space to the factory.

The technology for processing quilts here is backward, and the eiderdown quilts produced are far from the modern duvets, but the warmth retention effect is not bad.

As soon as Su Mu's words fell, Taifu Zhuang on the other side of the screen shouted happily: "Okay! This Taifu thanked Marshal's wife for the refugees outside the city!"

He had already learned from his wife in advance what the Su family would donate, and he didn't expect to donate an extra hundred eiderdown quilts. This is a good start!
Taifu Zhuang is highly respected. Hearing this, Su Kefang hurriedly stood up and bowed over there: "Teacher is serious, and our Duke Huguo's Mansion is only doing our best. We only hope that those refugees can get through This difficulty."

The hall, which was still a little lively just now, suddenly became quiet after the conversation between the Taifu and Su Kefang, and everyone in the hall turned their minds rapidly.

If it is said that Su Kefang’s grain store sold grain at a low price in order to secretly help the refugees and save money for Zhang’s porridge, but now they donate so much food in one go, but it is on the bright side. Everyone had to think carefully about Su Kefang's bickering.

It stands to reason that the marshal's wife sold the grain to everyone at a low price earlier, allowing everyone to save some money. They shouldn't be stingy, but seeing An's gloomy face, everyone was very afraid of offending this woman, who even the queen respected. There was Jia's uncle and wife, so for a while, there was no second person on the female family's side to speak out.

In fact, the officials and women's family members who were present had discussed it before they came. Everyone has done a lot for those refugees a few days ago, and everyone didn't plan to donate more this time when they came here. If you donate too little, you may lose face.

There was silence in the hall, everyone was thinking, Zhuang Taifu couldn't help shouting: "The Duke Huguo's mansion has been donated, who else is there?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.

"Marshal's wife is really rich and powerful!" An Shi took several deep breaths before speaking.

She and her master had originally agreed to donate only 1000 taels of silver, and the maximum would be 2000 taels, but Su Shi donated so many things as soon as he asked, how can she donate?
This Mrs. Su deliberately embarrassed her today, right? !
"Uncle and Madam Guo are too pleased." Su Kefang replied with a pleasant smile.

Who praised her? !Anshi stared.

Seeing that An's face was flushed with anger, Su Kefang continued: "My uncle Guo said just now that we should 'take from the people and return it to the people', and I was also inspired by what my uncle Guo said, so I wanted to do my best. Do our best to help those refugees.”

Su Kefang said it sincerely, but An Shi was so angry that he vomited blood.

This Mrs. Su actually used what she said just now to block her!

On the other side, Mrs. Zhuang saw that there was no one answering, and his face was a little ugly, so he couldn't help but say again: "The salary of the king, and the worries of the king, Marshal Xiang can't attend today because of the war, and the marshal's wife, a woman, can generously donate to the refugees , my lords are not even as good as a girl?!"

Zhuang Liming also knew that Su Kefang was a magnanimous person, and would not mind what he said, so he used her to persecute the officials present, but those wealthy households did not dare to speak in front of these officials because they were afraid of offending others.

Ji Tai was deeply scheming and vigilant, and he immediately heard the clue from Zhuang Taifu's words, his eyes flashed: "Zhuang Taifu, I donate 2 taels!"

As soon as Ji Tai's words came out, everyone in the hall gasped, and An's hand on the other side of the screen trembled, almost knocking the bowl in front of the table to the ground.

2 million taels?
2 taels!
Anshi felt dizzy for a while.

Didn't it mean that the maximum is 2000 taels? Why did it become 2 taels in the blink of an eye?
In An's eyes, the property of the Ji Mansion will belong to her son in the future, so she carefully calculates every amount of money in and out of the mansion on weekdays. Such a big change today makes her a little hard to accept.

"Uncle Madam," Princess Nora smiled at An's face, who was blushing, "Uncle Guo is richer than Madam Marshal!"

"Princess Nora, the uncle of the country is a person who does great things. How can I, a housewife, be compared with the uncle of the country?" Su Kefang said very modestly.

Princess Nora covered her mouth with a smile, and quickly apologized to An Shi: "Look at me, An Jin's words are not good, and his words don't convey the meaning, please don't blame me, Mrs. Guo."

"Princess Nora is too much. You even know the word 'words that don't convey the meaning', so how can you speak An Jin badly?" An said through gritted teeth.

Princess Nora smiled back at An Shi without denying it, making An Shi tremble with anger.

Today, with so many dignified people around, Ge Yan really wanted to see An's go crazy in public, but unfortunately, An's restrained her forcefully, Ge Yan was disappointed for a while.

There were Su Kefang and Ji Tai who started, and then everyone dared not be silent anymore. They shouted 1 taels, 8000 taels, and 5000 taels. Only then did Zhuang Liming stroke his beard in satisfaction, letting The two accountants around me went down and registered one by one.

The purpose of today's banquet is to raise funds for those refugees. In addition to the cold weather, the food tends to get cold. There is only a big pot of vegetables at the banquet. Each person has a bowl of lean meat porridge, and there is no drink.

After dinner, everyone went back to their homes, Mrs. Zhuang left Su Kefang behind.

Su Kefang went back to Mrs. Zhuang's yard and chatted for a while, and Taifu Zhuang sent someone to deliver a booklet to Mrs. Zhuang.

Madam Zhuang handed the brochure to Su Kefang after reading it, with a mocking smile on her lips: "Look at these people, they usually cry poorly in front of the emperor, are they forced out of money?"

It was more than 150 million taels, which was beyond her expectation!

Before the banquet, she and her master conservatively estimated that it would not be bad if they could donate 80 million taels this time. Unexpectedly, it was nearly half more. Mrs. Zhuang really didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment.

After reading the brochure, Su Kefang said with a meaningful smile: "Old Madam, in fact, we should think on the bright side. Two-thirds of the money was donated by those big merchants, and if two-thirds were donated by North Korean officials Yes, we should be worried, don't you think?"
