Qin Liuxi soon heard the news that Princess Siyi had injured her tailbone in a fall and was bedridden and asked doctors for treatment. This was what the maid sent by Lin Qingtang said, and she came to tell her that they were already I took my daughter to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha for a rest. I will probably go back to the city for a reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve and then continue to stay at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
In addition, she also sent a message. Prime Minister Lin wanted to invite Qin Liuxi to come over for a small gathering if he was free, but Qin Liuxi didn't go and only said to see him on the first day of the new year.
General Zheng went to Jiuxuan again and found her. He told her that at Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion, a very favored aunt of Mo Wenpei died suddenly of an emergency, and that aunt's two children were also sent back to their ancestral home to be raised. , and Mo Wenpei also sent his two aunts who had not given birth to children out of the house. They also donated a batch of old winter clothes and rice grains in the name of their eldest son and sent them to the refugee camp on the outskirts of the city to help the victims.
Qin Liuxi was not surprised by this, but she was quite surprised that Mo Wenpei could be so ruthless and deal with these troubles quickly.
General Zheng said: "If you don't do it, don't be ruthless. Don't look at how glorious Zhongqin's house is now, but the title has been reduced to the rank of uncle, and the next level will be viscount. If there are no promising children to support the facade, this wealth will come to an end." , is not far from being in ruins. But for the Wen family, her father was promoted to a third-rank official this year, and many of the brothers in the family are prosperous, and Mo Wenpei relies on his wife’s family in many places.”
Qin Liuxi sneered: "That means the situation is no better than others, so I have to bow my head."
“That’s right.”
Qin Liuxi stopped saying this and exchanged greetings for a while. As soon as he sent him away, he welcomed back the two ghosts Wei Xie and Mingyu. However, both of them didn't look good. After asking about it, they learned that the evil ghost was escaping. In the end, they not only swallowed several ghosts, but also killed several people. They also spent a lot of effort to catch the people.
This time, Ming Yu also plans to work with Wei Xie to send those ghosts to the ghost gate to avoid further trouble.
Qin Liuxi handed over Taoist Yiyang and Gui Ying to Wei Xie. As for their merits and demerits, they will be discussed by the underworld.
Mingyu said: "By the way, when we were arresting this evil ghost, we found someone arresting a pure yin girl. The person looked like a ghost, and his skills were very tricky and cruel. Please pay attention."
Qin Liuxi frowned, who could it be?
…
The days are short and the nights are long in winter, and the days pass quickly. New Year's Eve is approaching. Due to the severe snowstorm and the treasury being empty, the saint canceled the New Year's Eve palace banquet and only kept the family banquet. The dignitaries of the capital also specially set up a place in the Liuying camp to express their feelings. The porridge shed also allows disaster victims to have a warm New Year in a foreign country.
Even though they were disturbed by the snowstorm, the elite circles in the capital were talking about one thing with great enthusiasm and were preparing for it with great ambition.
Why?
This is a charity auction jointly organized by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and Jiuxuan Auction House to raise funds for disaster relief. This term is so new that it is necessary to inquire carefully about what a charity auction is.
Because those auction items are of extraordinary value and were voluntarily donated by good people, there are paintings by Wang Xian, a master who is good at ink painting, and calligraphy and paintings by Liu Xianzhi, a master of calligraphy and painting. There are many rare auction items like this.
What is exciting is that in addition to donating 200,000 yuan for disaster relief, the Palace of Eternal Life also donated a bottle of top-grade An Gong Dan, two bottles of top-grade Ginseng Yangrong Pills, and three bottles of Jade Snow Muscle. This news simply excited the elite circle. , after all, the medicines produced by this company are good life-saving things. As for Yuxueji, since the auction of five bottles a few years ago, there has been no Yuxueji in the Changsheng Palace. Now it appears again, and it is even crazier. In addition to this, there are also calligraphy of saints and business records with reference to five imperial examination places. This shocked and delighted the merchants of Dafeng, who had already used their connections to get an admission plaque.
Yes, since they found out about the purpose of this auction and the items in it, people who want to participate are gearing up to get an admission plaque. After all, this can not only capture good things, make money for charity, but also earn a good reputation. Why not?
The entry plate for this auction represents both status and strength, and everyone wants to get it.
The auction is scheduled to take place on the first day of the new year. Before the date arrives, it has already become popular in the expensive circles.
In addition to the auction, there is another thing that is also a rare thing, that is, the new left servant of the Ministry of Household Affairs was ordered to collect debts, which made many people watch the excitement.
This debt collection is not just a small debt, but old debts accumulated by some well-established families over the years. Most of them were owed during the time of the late emperor. Now the national treasury is empty and money is needed everywhere, including the Ministry of Household Affairs. He had to collect debts according to orders.
But this debt, since it can be delayed for so long, it is enough to prove that the debtors are all gold-medal old people, and not all of them are vegetarians. You can come and ask for it, but it is my business if I don't pay it back.
The new Zuo Shilang was also interesting. He invited an honor guard, including suona players and gong players, to go according to the list of debtors. One of these old people was a member of the Xie family, and he took advantage of his grandson's full moon. Go up to the door, beat gongs and drums, sing and dance, what are you talking about? He said that Grand Master Xie had a quirk, and revealed in front of the guests that he liked to smell the smell of stinky tofu from Xiangcheng. The Grand Master Xie was so frightened that he covered his mouth on the spot. , happily spend money to send the plague god.
Chui Shixue came to the meeting, and there was another suona sound, and he loudly said thank you to the college students for their righteousness. Hearing that the national crisis was approaching, he quickly paid off his debts and was a noble man.
No matter how angry Grand Scholar Xie was, he could only suppress the frustration in his stomach. Then he called his personal servant to come over and keep an eye on the debt collection honor guard. He would be notified wherever he went. , so he put on his own purple clay pot to make tea, put on a plate of peanuts, and watched the play happily.
The second stop was the house of the Marquis of Chang'an. He took advantage of his being a green-haired turtle and got another fortune back. The Marquis of Chang'an was so angry that he scolded Jing Xiaosi, and then claimed that he was ill.
Of course, there were times when Cui Shixue was in trouble. When he arrived at Taifu Wen's house, they didn't say he wouldn't pay back the money. They just had a problem at home. As long as Cui Shixue could help solve it, he would pay back the money immediately and add two thousand taels of interest.
Hearing that the Taifu family owed as much as fifty thousand taels, Cui Shixue naturally couldn't let it go. When he asked what the problem was, he found Qin Liuxi.
For things that are beyond his ability to solve, he must find help.
"Taifu Wen is a teacher of saints. To be honest, I feel frightened when I come to him to collect debts. After all, he is the teacher of a saint. Even a saint has a respectable attitude in front of him. Fortunately, Mrs. Wen Fu Ye was open-minded and only let me solve the Wen family's secret problem, and he repaid the money happily, which made it difficult for me to take advantage of his family." Cui Shixue said: "It's just his family's problem, not mine. As much as you can, look, can you lend a hand?”
Qin Liuxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you heard that the unlucky prince who was almost smashed on the head and injured his eyelid by the palace gate plaque asked me to tell fortunes, how much money would it cost?"
Unlucky King Zhao Wang: I can answer this question, one hexagram will cost ten thousand gold! (End of chapter)
