Chapter 410 Half pride and half sad


    "Hare you seeing the value of our Xin family?"


    Xin Huan was a little surprised to learn that Tang Gang had given the Xin family benefits. After all, in his impression, Tang Gang had always only asked for it.


    Xin Kuan did not deny it, standing in the night with his hands behind his back, "If you want to be valued, you must be strong."


    Sweeping her eyes at Xin Huan, who was drunk, “Don’t think that everything will be fine if your sister marrys into the Marquis’ Mansion. After you get married, I will leave more things to you. If your sister wants to live a good life in the Marquis’ Mansion, we can’t pull her back as a mother’s family. We have to help her. The better she lives, the greater the power in her hands, and can we better feed us.”


    "This is a win-win situation."


    Xin Huan nodded, "I understand what my father said, but my son knows what to do."


    The next morning, Xin An rarely afforded a chance to get ahead of Tang Mo, and told him that he would move back home today, "The fundraising matter is about to begin. You are afraid that you will not have time to spare these days, so it is inconvenient to live here."


    Tang Mo was lazy and didn''t want to move, "I dreamed last night. I dreamed that you gave birth to a child for me, but I couldn''t see clearly whether it was a man or a woman. I thought it was very cute. He even hugged me and kissed me in the face."


    "How could I have such a dream?"


    Xin An walked to the bed with a smile and pulled him, "You are thinking about it every day and dreaming about it at night. Get up quickly. There is a restaurant in the city that has a good breakfast. I''ll take you to try it."


    The man was pulled over without pulling himself and fell into Tang Mo''s arms. The person holding her eyebrows and eyes were filled with smiles. "A beauty threw herself into her arms in the early morning. It seems that something good must have happened today."


    She didn''t care about this hairpin that made Xin An''s hair fall out, and smiled and rubbed Tang Mo''s hair into a chicken coop, focusing on one to make everyone crazy.


    The two of them laughed and made a fuss for a long time. Chun Lu, who was standing outside the door, was smiling. When she was asked to enter, they had already cleaned up. Xin''an''s hair was combed by Tang Mo himself, and he personally wore a hairpin. Tang Mo''s chicken coop was combed by Xin An, and he also combed a very beautiful bun and wore a jade crown, which was very noble.


    By the time the couple returned to Xin''s house, it was already noon. The termite nest at home magically disappeared without a trace, and even the furniture at home had changed a few times. Xin An couldn''t help laughing when he looked at it.


    Tang Mo went to find Tang Gang to talk about the charity hall. Mu Dean and the people from the Ministry of Revenue also arrived. He suffered a loss at the hands of the salt merchant. When he saw Tang Gang put forward such a situation, he knew that he had made a rash move before and was laughed at by Tang Gang. At this time, he could only sit under Tang Gang respectfully and listen to his orders.


    The Xin family is busy today. Red silk is hanging up and down in the mansion. The buyers are going back and delivering vegetables and meat. A temporary kitchen is also set up outside. The young master of the Xin family married and placed a flowing table in the city for three days, and everyone can serve.


    The kitchens of several restaurants in the city were also set up to prepare dishes for the Xin family’s wedding banquet, which was steamed and fried very lively.


    The mansion manager returned several large boxes of copper coins and broken silver from the money house. This was the happy money that he had to sprinkle on the way back from the wedding.


    Mrs. Xin asked Wang and the old lady to help, and was responsible for giving the Zhou family the wedding money on the day of marriage.


    More than a dozen people came to help in the clan. Wang whispered to the old lady, "The Xin family spends no less than 100,000 taels to marry a daughter-in-law." The old lady smiled and said, "A person should live a life of happiness. The family worked hard to build this huge family business, so it would not be spent on their children. I saw that the couple loved their children, and the girl in the Zhou family was blessed."


    Wang nodded, but what he thought was that he used to think that Xin An was rich and wealthy. Now it seems that he is already very frugal. It is not uncommon for such a big family business to spend more money.


    From this day on, the Xin family began to hold a meal. People in the clan would come to have dinner every night. First, report on the progress of their work, and second, listen to what the clan elders would do tomorrow.


    The Zhou family is also wearing red and hanging colors here. According to the custom of marrying a daughter, relatives of the Zhou family have come to celebrate in the past two days, and their daughters have a drink every meal.


    There was an old clan behind him, and the clan members helped the top and bottom to handle it. Xin Kuan and Xin Huan were relaxed and only had to help prepare for the fundraising.


    Early this morning, the charity hall fundraising that the wealthy families in the city had been looking forward to for several days officially began. The yamen was held, and all the registered people were in their positions. The accounts borrowed from each family also stood in their respective positions. The boss of Tonghaibao, the largest money house in the city, and the managers arrived in person. The officers and soldiers were majestic, and officials surrounded Tang Gang who was standing in front.


    The people who came to watch spontaneously left a clearing space. The drum and gong team shook their arms and beat the drums, and the lion dance team was majestic.


    After the drums stopped, Tang Gang stepped forward and raised his voice to convey the emperor''s will, saying the emperor''s grace was so strong that he briefly introduced the rules of fundraising, and at the same time stated that "After ten years after the end of the fundraising, no official or any official can force donations in the name of the court, and those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!"


    "The whereabouts of all donations will be announced every three months and will be subject to supervision by the people. No one is allowed to greed for donations. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!"


    As soon as the two kills were out, the onlookers were excited and cheered continuously. Then the fundraising began, and the drums rang out again.


    The wealthy families, such as the Yao family, Han family, Zhang family, Zhou family, etc., carried the boxes and started queuing. The minimum of these actions was 50,000 taels. They were in front, but those who were not so rich in their pockets were unable to move forward.


    Tang Mo gave Xin Huan a look. After Xin Huan nodded, he signaled to the people in the crowd. The man immediately squeezed out of the crowd and shouted: "Although I am not rich, I also want to contribute my efforts. I donate one or two taels. How can I know if my son needs the help of the charity hall in the future?"


    "I heard that from the next scientific examination, the Charity Hall will invest in escorting our Huaijiang students to Beijing for the scientific examination together to ensure that the students arrive safely. My son is talented in studying, how can he know that there will be no one day? I will donate two taels."


    "I donated 300 documents and heard that the Charity Hall will buy charcoal fires in winter, saying that an elderly person over 60 can receive 30 kilograms. The old man is not rich and willing to do his best."


    Mu Dean finally found an opportunity to show himself, saying that no matter one or a few coins, it was the people''s sincere intentions towards this country, and water turned into a sea. If the people in the world were as righteous and kind as the people in Huaijiang, why worry about the prosperity of the country?


    The tall hat was worn on the heads of these ordinary people, and the donors quickly lined up in a long queue, with gongs and drums and drums. The lions in the lion dance team were busy. The busiest ones were still the accounts. The money donated had to be tested, and the abacus was scattered quickly. Half of them were Xin''s family. At this moment, their backs were straightened. Never thought that everyone in the Xin family could do it.


    There were also a few young men standing behind, strung copper plates. The unique skill of distinguishing money from listening to the sound made many people in the yamen lit up. The boss of Tonghaibaozi was even more moved, "It''s better to have many men from Xin''s family, but they all have unique skills, which is admirable."


    Xin Kuan was half proud and half sad, thinking how great it would be if he could use this skill to exchange his talent for studying? !
