The world is enchanting, the handsome man is so enchanting

Chapter 51

Feng Yuli glanced at Pei Yekai, with a proud expression of "Look, I've hit the mark".The latter looked at him calmly in return.Feng Yuli winked at Pei Yekai, turned to Yu Qingyan and smiled, "Jianghuai floods occur frequently every year, and the court allocates countless funds for disaster relief every year. We ordinary people have no official position, Relying on the meager salary every month to live on, there is really no extra money. We are also powerless, I hope Prime Minister Yu can understand!"

Liar!

You can spend 10 taels to find prostitutes in Qihonglou, but you have no money to help the victims. Who will believe it!

"I heard that the lord is willing to throw ten thousand gold for Zui Qianchen, the oiran of the Qihonglou, and he even hesitated to compete with Qian Sanshao in public for this. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Putting down the wine jar, opened the feather fan, and swayed it gently, Feng Yuli replied unrestrainedly: "Die under the peony flower, even being a ghost is romantic."

Yu Qingyan said: "Since the prince is willing to throw ten thousand gold for Bojia people's smile, why can't he take out a small part to donate to the disaster victims?"

Feng Yuli covered his face with a feather fan, showing a pitiful expression, and sighed with pity, "Oh! Prime Minister Yu, you don't know! This king only has such a small fortune, and smiled for Bo Jia, and gave it all to her. , I don’t have any extra money on my body. I don’t have enough to eat, and I’ve been relying on borrowing money from Ye Kai recently. No, Ye Kai was still chasing debts from the king just now!”

"Really?" Yu Qingyan looked suspiciously at Pei Yekai, who had a righteous and expressionless face, neither saying yes nor no.

Yu Qingyan naturally knew that Feng Yuli was framing her, she smiled, and said: "Since the prince has no money, then Qingyan can't force it! Please General Pei donate together with the prince's share!"

"Eh?" Feng Yuli was stunned by Yu Qingyan's answer, her hand shaking the fan froze, and she didn't answer for a while.

Seeing that the flames of war were burning on him, and he couldn't do without opening his mouth, Pei Yekai said to Yu Qingyan: "Pei Yekai will do his part to raise funds for disaster relief. I will donate..."

Yu Qingyan's eyes are bright.

"100 taels of silver!"

Before Pei Yekai did, Feng Yu left his mouth, and then he said with a smile: "This king and Ye Kai donated a total of 100 taels of silver."

Yu Qingyan's face was covered with black lines.

The third-rank officials donate at least 1000 taels of silver. You are a dignified prince and a general, and you only donate a total of 100 taels. You are ashamed to give it away!
Seeing Yu Qing's unkind expression, Feng Yuli asked jokingly: "Why, Prime Minister Yu thinks it's too little?"

"A lot! How can you think it's too little!" A certain woman said duplicity, "No matter how much the donation is, it is all a heart for the people in the disaster area. If the heart is there, the money is just a cloud! Since the prince is short of money, 100 taels is fine." 100 taels! In the grand donation event for the Yipin Building in the future, please invite the prince and General Pei to come and support it."

Feng Yuli stared at Pei Yekai, that playful look seemed to say, look!I hit it again!
He readily agreed, "Definitely! Definitely! My king will definitely be there!"

"That's it, then Qingyan won't bother the two of you! Farewell!"

If you can't ask for money, don't run away!She has to go to another house to beg for money!
"What? Prime Minister Yu is leaving so soon? Why don't you sit down for a while?"

Feng Yu tried to persuade Li to stay.

"No! The imperial order is in me, I dare not delay!"

"Since there is an imperial order, it is inconvenient for the king to force me to stay! Steward Wang, send Prime Minister Yu!"

Yu Qingyan greeted Feng Yuli and Pei Yekai cupped their hands and said goodbye, "Fourth Prince, General Pei, I bid farewell with my face!"

"Please--"

After sending Yu Qingyan away, Pei Yekai looked at Feng Yuli strangely and asked, "Yu Li, why did you do this?"

Even though he has a lot of money, he still wants to cry for poverty to Xiang Yu. Could it be that Yu Li is trying to avoid donating money?
"I want to see, what will Yu Qingyan do next if she can't get any cheap from me!" Purely for the sake of probing, he wants to know how much more capable Yu Qingyan is!
If you blindly ask for donations from court officials like them, that is nothing!Those who have the ability to set off a wave of donations among the people are really powerful!
He wanted to see what Yu Qingyan would do next!
……

And what happened next obviously exceeded Feng Yuli's expectations.

First of all, Sweetheart Baby Candy House launched a disaster relief donation activity of "buy white rabbit toffee and donate to the victims of Huainan".Lu Junliu, the shopkeeper of the candy store, claimed that all proceeds from selling sugar will be donated to the people in the disaster area as charity.As for Yu Qingyan, she unceremoniously came to sell the white rabbit milk candies in person, and the targets were naturally those officials of the third rank and above who knew her well.The prime minister came to the door in person, with a glib tongue like an emperor, and even used the emperor to suppress them. They didn't dare not buy it even if they wanted to!No, Yu Qingyan extorted a sum of money for nothing, the tears in their hearts!

Next, Qian Sanshao took the lead in donating 5 dans of grain, [-] taels of silver, and ten carriages of precious Chinese medicinal materials.Driven by him, big merchants and hawkers in the capital donated generously one after another, ranging from as little as a thousand to as many as tens of thousands.Donate money if you have money, donate things if you don’t have money, even ordinary people come to join in the fun, old clothes, quilts, blankets, as long as they can be donated, they all come to donate, crowding the Shangshuyuan to the brim.Yu Qingyan led all the officials to stand in front of the Shangshuyuan to welcome the donations from the people. They wrote down their names and donations one by one, and thanked them for their generous donations to help the people in the disaster-stricken area, and said many nice words.The people always praised Prime Minister Yu for his humility and courtesy, and he was a good official who loved the people like a son.

Just from these scattered but uninterrupted public donations, nearly 3 taels of silver was raised. Yu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, the common people are the cutest people!

Following the frenzy of donations from merchants and ordinary people, Yipinlou's "all for the victims" disaster relief charity sale kicked off soon.This charity sale is not selling ceramic jewelry, but delicacies.

The charity sale led by "Master Chef" and "Gourd Wine Immortal" has attracted the attention of many food and wine lovers inside and outside the capital as soon as it was advertised.They paid close attention to the movement of the bazaar, and rushed to Yipinlou early on the day of the bazaar, taking a good seat and waiting for Feng Yingxue and Zhong Luokui to arrive.

Within an hour after opening for business, the small Yipin Building was packed to the brim.The lobby was full of guests, and a large group of spectators gathered in front of the door.Three circles inside, three circles outside, one circle after another, there are as many as ten circles gathered.Everyone was bustling with each other, wondering what kind of dishes Feng Yingxue would serve and what kind of fine wine Zhong Luokui would serve.

As soon as Feng Yingxue and Zhong Luokui showed up, they ignited the nerves of the people present.They cheered and screamed, warmly welcoming Feng Yingxue and Zhong Luokui.

As the host of this charity sale, Li Jinglin raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.After describing the situation in the disaster area and the operation process of this charity sale in detail, Li Jinglin waved his hand in the direction of the kitchen. After a while, Li Yunluo and Zhong Hanli pushed a table covered with bright yellow brocade cloth into the lobby.

All the diners took a look, and saw six delicacies and three jugs of fine wine neatly placed on the brocade cloth.

The leftmost dish is called "Carp Leaping over the Dragon's Gate", but the sweet-scented osmanthus fish is fragrant; the next dish is called "Fengchao Jiutian". The two dishes in the middle are "Fu Jia Tian Xia" and "Feng Sheng Shui Qi". The former dish uses soft-shelled turtles, and the latter dish is a smooth and tender vegetable soup with seven treasures; In fact, it is braised pork knuckle; the last dish is called "Babao Qizhen", which is actually Laba rice eaten in the winter season.

And the three jugs of fine wine were housed in three beautifully carved glass wine bottles, the left one was Ice Crystal Snowflake Wine, the middle one was Flame Phoenix Wine, and the last one was the top-grade Nurjiao.These three jugs of wine are all Zhong Luokui's unique wines, and as soon as they appeared, the audience burst into exclamations.The eyes of those who know wine are even brighter, staring straight at the three jugs of fine wine, gearing up, already planning to pay a high price and vowing to take the three jugs of fine wine home.

After Li Jinglin explained the six dishes and three pots of wine in detail, he announced that the bidding had officially started.

As soon as the bidding started, all the diners were scrambling to be the first, shouting their prices, their eyes fixed on their favorite things, their ears pricked up, their fists clenched, their mouths slightly open, and they made a gesture of bidding at any time. posture, for fear of being snatched away if you shout too slowly.Some people even took out their pockets to count the banknotes while shouting the price, some people immediately asked the servants around them to go home to collect the money because they didn't have enough money, and some people even reached out to borrow money from the people who came with them.All of a sudden, the crowd was raging and excited.

Li Jinglin managed to appease the restless crowd, his forehead was already dripping with sweat, and his heart was beating like a drum.Such a hot bidding scene is really unheard of.He has been in business for twenty years and has never seen such madness.Li Jinglin wiped off the sweat from his forehead repeatedly, admiring Yu Qingyan's business acumen even more.

Engong is really amazing!

A small bazaar sold for a sky-high price of 30 taels of silver.A jug of Flaming Phoenix Wine was sold for 8 taels of silver, setting the highest price for a single item in a wine auction that year, which shocked the world.

With such astonishing data, not to mention Feng Yuli was stunned, even the Fengxuan Hall in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace was also shocked.After listening to Feng Wushang's explanation of the grand auction, Feng Xuandian was amazed and admired Yu Qingyan even more.The man of Longtu is really astonished as a heavenly man!With Yu Qingyan here, why should he worry that the treasury is not rich and the world is not peaceful!
Already raised 50 taels of charity, overfulfilling the task assigned by Fengxuan Palace, but Yu Qingyan was not satisfied with it.She hasn't used her secret weapon yet, so how can she just count on it!
You ask Yu Qingyan what secret weapon does she have?hey-hey!We'll get to that in a second!
After deciding to make a donation, Yu Qingyan went back to Qihonglou to meet Hong's mother again, and explained the situation to her.Her request is actually very simple, that is, she will appear on stage again as Zui Qianchen, and this time, she will not perform, but only sell songs!
