Xiao Hongkang turned back to the room and handed her the money he had saved bit by bit over the years.
Minghua looked at it and saw that there were about five taels. It was not a lot, but it was indeed a lot for an ordinary family. "I'll take it, Granny Tian. I took out two thousand nine hundred and ninety-five taels from the box." We will go to the county town to buy rice and noodles and distribute them to the homeless and beggars in Xianyun County for three days."
"Okay, County Lord."
Grandma Tian took out more than 9,000 taels of silver notes from the safe box and had to exchange them for silver.
Xiao Hongkang watched his sister act, and was shocked again. I don't know when my sister started to act thoughtfully and steadily. Now, the people around her are the same. Those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black. There are nuns around to guide my sister. It will only become more comprehensive.
"Brother, you go read a book first. I have something to do with the housekeeper."
Xiao Hongkang didn't ask, nodded, turned around and went out.
Aunt Tian called Xiao Pingfu again, and Minghua told him: "Please send one of the guards to go to Aunt Tian. Today my brother and I rejected the clan's request; you should also pay more attention to the clan's movements. Report the situation as soon as possible."
"Yes, County Lord." Xiao Pingfu lowered his eyebrows and was very respectful.
"Go down."
Xiao Pingfu bowed and left.
Minghua sat on the chair and sighed softly, "Mother Tian, please pay more attention to safety during the free clinics in the future. It's not that there are no evil people in the Xiao family; they are just under control."
As far as he knew, in the life when Xiao Erya succeeded, many people in Xiaojia Village were accomplices; whether they knew it or not, they eventually killed the whole family of the Xiao family.
It is true that Xiao Erya killed the original owner and his family. She was the mastermind. Those in Xiaojia Village who had evil intentions and no good intentions could not escape.
"County Master, I understand that you need to bring a few more people with you when you travel; however, I think the patriarch is not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. You have planned everything, but they only want benefits and don't want to pay. The patriarch is weird It’s not your fault.” If he is a patriarch who understands justice well, he should not think that the problem lies with the county leader.
Minghua chuckled, "Mommy! Clan is very important, but family is not important either. You should know clearly that when I am not strong enough, I can choose to rely on anyone, as long as it is someone I want to rely on. Again When I am strong enough, others rely on me."
This is the relationship between her and the Xiao family.
"That's what the county chief said." Aunt Tian was not going to persuade her any more. After all, the people of the Xiao family did not know what was good and what was evil.
What is the county owner worth? Do they care about the little money they scrape together? A bunch of short-sighted people.
Aunt Luo stood aside and said to Aunt Chen: "Our county master sees things very clearly. They want to plot against the county master, but they can't."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Grandma Chen couldn't help laughing. "Our county boss is young, but he is not stupid."
On the contrary, he is so shrewd that he is convincing.
The three nuns all smiled lightly, and Xiao Mei and Xiao Xing also laughed, "We all feel at ease when we are with our county master."
Following a good master is complementary to each other; if you follow a master who doesn't understand the rules and is bent on making things worse, you will not only worry about everything, but also have to guard against being sent away at any time.
Few of the servants who were sent out had a good ending; this is the law of the world, smile at the poor but not at the prostitutes. When you are proud, more people will come to you. When you are defeated, more people will come to you. Come up and step on it.
"You guys take good care of me. When you are old enough, I will let you go out to get married and live a beautiful life together." Minghua smiled and temporarily put aside the affairs of the Xiao family, "By the way, Granny Luo, how many of you do you need at night?" Be careful, and from today onwards, you can move in here; there are enough empty rooms at home for people."
When people gather in one place, things are convenient.
"Okay, I'll call someone to start moving."
The three nuns were waiting for this sentence. It was inconvenient to rent someone else's house all the time; it was also inconvenient to wait on them back and forth, but they were still close and felt at ease.
After the three nuns went out, they gathered the servants together. Everyone happily took turns going to the rented yard to pack their luggage and move it over.
If the maid and the nanny share a room, they will need more beds.
Xiao Pingfu's family was assigned two rooms.
As a result, the house is full again.
Early the next morning, Minghua got up early and entered the county town with her three maids, two maids and guards. Xiao Pingfu's family stayed to serve Xiao Hongkang and could not enter the city with them.
"County Master, why is it still so busy outside?"
Minghua looked out from the gap in the curtain and said with a smile: "The imperial examination has just ended and the list has been announced; naturally it will be lively and lively."
Some families are holding banquets, and some are visiting relatives; in short, the county town is inevitably busy these days.
Xiao Mei asked: "County Lord, should we go buy rice and noodles directly?"
"Yeah." Minghua nodded slightly, "After buying the things, say hello to the Yamen and ask the county magistrate to send someone to lead the team for distributing supplies; then tell the shopkeeper of the rice, flour and grain store that you can't take away the things at once. We take part of it a day, but it’s not enough to add more. We have a small manpower, so we need people from the grain store to help pack it. One person can only receive one bag of rice or one bag of flour, and one bag is about two kilograms."
If there are too many, I'm afraid they will be traded.
Doing good deeds and distributing food is to help people, not for others to take things from her for free and sell them.
Most of the people who could be rescued by her were really capable of exchanging fine flour for coarse grains; she didn't care whether they exchanged them or not, what she cared about was trading them.
"County Master, after they receive it, what if they come to collect it again and again? It's impossible for us to remember all the people who have received it when we distribute it." Grandma Chen asked the key point at once.
Minghua nodded, "This is also a problem, but it's not a big deal. Before distributing it, count the number of people receiving relief, determine the amount of food, and ration it regularly."
Minimize the number of people who take advantage of you.
If someone really collects it repeatedly, someone will naturally supervise it; if there is a fuss, they will know whether the person has received it or not.
After things were arranged, Minghua found a restaurant and sat down to drink tea. By the way, she watched the people coming and going below, the happy crowd. They congratulated each other with smiles on each other's faces, and Minghua let go of her consciousness and listened. their conversation.
"Congratulations to my in-laws! My son-in-law is selected as a scholar. From now on, my in-laws will be the father of the scholar."
"The in-laws are all happy that your girl married into our family, which is a blessing to us. Ever since she got married, good things have continued. She is really a good girl from a prosperous family."
Compliment each other, when people talk about the child, they also talk about how good the child is; in short, they will not make others unhappy at this time.
Withdrawing her consciousness, Minghua boredly dismissed the maids waiting around her and asked them to go downstairs to eat and drink; in the private room of the restaurant, they did not need to wait on her all the time.
