    "I don't know how long it has been since I received another donation of 10,000 taels. With this amount of money, the Alumni Association of Tiandu College will be able to pay a large amount of money to the Imperial City Shantang this year!" Zhao Xian'er  said happily.

    Meng Yufei also said: "Come on, the third prince didn't give us 10,000 taels last time, plus some scattered damages in the past, this year he can give us more than 20,000 taels of silver, and he can do a lot of good deeds!"  "

    The lights in the wing were bright, and several girls collected the donations and counted the bits and pieces. If it weren't for the 20,000 taels of silver that Zhao Xian'er brought, the others would only add up to a few thousand taels.

    "If it hadn't been for these ten thousand taels, we would have been standing by Bilian Lake for nothing today. This young master from the Guo family is really a kind man. He gave us such great help as soon as he took action. And the man named Fu Xiaowa also  You are so stingy that you are reluctant to part with even a few taels of silver. Xianer, why do you want to be friends with such a person?" Meng Yufei curled her lips and said.

    Zhao Xian'er didn't know what to say. She said: "Everyone is free to donate money and cannot be forced. Maybe this money is really important to him. If you look at the clothes he is wearing, you can tell that his life is not rich. Not everyone  Everyone is as well-off as we are!"

    "Forget it, forget it, anyway, we are not short of those few taels of silver, so we should take a good look at the 10,000 taels of silver notes, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's so beautiful, the patterns on it are so cute!" Meng Yufei took the silver.  The ticket rubs against the face.

    "Yu Fei, maybe Mr. Guo can meet your requirements. A hundred thousand taels shouldn't be a big problem, so be careful!"

    "I can still consider Mr. Guo like this!" Meng Yufei said with a smirk and touched her chin.

    "It's a pity that they are here for Miss Xian'er, hahahaha!" The two girls next to her, Xue Lingxiang and He Yarui, tried to undermine her.

    "Xian'er has a third prince. He is not a rookie, and I have to think about it, hum!" Meng Yufei said unconvincedly, folding her arms.

    "Okay, don't talk about anything else, hurry up and sort out the donations, tomorrow. Let's go to the Zongshan Hall and hand over the money!"

    "I'm so tired. There's nothing more interesting than counting money, but it's a pity that it's other people's money that I'm counting!" Meng Yufei counted familiarly, and it seemed that she did this frequently.

    Shantang, a traditional institution in the imperial city.  I don¡¯t know what year or month it has been in existence.  And there were several dynasties, no matter which generation of kings they were, there was no such institution as the Shantang.  It is to collect donations from good people all over the world, and then use the donations to the places in the entire empire that need them most.

    The charity hall is very large, and there are many good people throughout the empire. Just like the Guo family, they donate hundreds of thousands of taels every year.  There are other wealthy old ladies and gentlemen who want to do good deeds, so they donate money to the General Charity Hall.

    Entering the charity hall, there are many people coming and going, and there are also many people running the organization.  Zhao Xianer followed Meng Yufei to the reception room of the general manager.

    Zhao Xianer followed Meng Yufei and knocked on the door, only to hear a middle-aged male voice coming from inside: "Please come in!"

    Zhao Xianer and Meng Yufei followed. This is a place they often come to, and they can see sandalwood scent inside.  Quiet and peaceful, in the middle of the wing, there is a huge good character with flying dragons and phoenixes.

    Sitting in front of the case was a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was Xu Yonglong, the person in charge of the Imperial City General Charity Hall.  Zhao Xian'er is the person in charge of the relationship between Tiandu College and Zongshan Hall.  When I came here, Xu Yonglong raised his head. When he saw Zhao Xian'er arriving, he stood up to greet her and said, "It turns out to be Miss Xian'er. If you're not far away, come and sit down!"

    Xianer and her best friend Meng Yufei smiled lightly.  Sitting down gracefully, they came to Zongshan Hall frequently, and they didn't feel restrained.  But he saw the good hall master Xu Yonglong busy serving tea and water, and then sat down on the sandalwood chair next to him.

    "Miss Xian'er is here to send charity money to the shantang again!" Xu Yonglong said with a smile.

    Xian'er smiled sweetly and said: "Hangzhu Xu guessed so accurately, knowing that Xian'er is sending charity money again this time!"

    "I don't see Miss Xian'er once or twice. Whenever Miss Xian'er comes, she will definitely come to send you donations!"

    Zhao Xianer took out the 23,000 taels of silver notes that had been exchanged from her pocket, put it on the table and said: "This is the donation raised by Tiandu College."

    When Hall Master Xu saw that the banknote was twice as much as the previous one, he couldn't help but said: "There are really very few beautiful girls as enthusiastic and charitable as Miss Xian'er. On behalf of the Imperial City General Charity Hall,  On behalf of the suffering people all over the world, I would like to thank Miss Xian'er!"

    Zhao Xian'er said: "Xian'er has been working hard for the people of the world and for the common people in the world. I only hope that I can do my best for the good of the world, and Xian'er will be satisfied!"

    "Miss Xian'er's temperament is really a sign of great kindness and benevolence. Among the ladies from famous families in the imperial city, I am the only one who admires her!"

    "Xian'er is embarrassed by Hallmaster Xu's boast. I heard that there is famine again in Xiyun. Is it true?" Zhao Xian'er asked.Authentic.

    "It's true. The silver tael sent by Miss Xian'er can at least buy ten thousand kilograms of food. I don't know how many people can be saved. Miss Xian'er is a great benefactor and has accumulated great merit!"

    Zhao Xian'er said happily: "In this way, even if Xian'er is exhausted, it is still worth it. Next time she will try her best to raise more donations!"

    "That is to save more people. For those who will be saved next generation, thank you Miss Xian'er!" Hall Master Xu bowed his head and said in salute.

    "No need to thank us, we are all common people who are suffering for the world. Xian'er's money has been handed over, so I won't bother Hall Master Xu anymore!"

    "Miss Xian'er, would you like to stay for a small meal and let Xu do his best as a landlord?" Hall Master Xu looked around at the faces of the two girls.

    "This, no need to worry, how embarrassing is this!"

    "Miss Xian'er comes here only once, and I have never done anything right. Please give me some noodles!"

    "this¡­¡­"

    The best friend felt a little hungry, so she agreed on Zhao Xian'er's behalf: "Okay, then we should be respectful and obey your orders!"

    Hall Master Xu immediately laughed and said enthusiastically: "That's great. Come on, there happens to be a small restaurant next to the charity hall. It tastes pretty good. We often go there to eat. Come on, I'll be the host!"

    While talking, Zhao Xian'er and her best friend followed Hall Master Xu out of the General Charity Hall. Hall Master Xu explained some matters in the hall to the people below, and then led Zhao Xian'er and Meng Yufei to the small hall next to them.  restaurant.

    However, I saw that this small restaurant was quite large and had a golden sign.  It was also very lively inside, with people coming in and out, and the people who came were not ordinary people. They looked like they were wealthy businessmen and people from the government.

    "Please, the food here is really good. I hope you two girls like it!" Hall Master Xu led the way.

    Zhao Xianer and Meng Yufei entered the dining hall.  Looking around, everything is splendid and magnificent, no matter what kind of people it entertains, it is of high quality.  Meng Yufei felt that she had to eat a meal to replenish her strength after running such a long distance.  But I didn't expect that the reception would be so grand.

    Entering a private room, with high-end tables and dedicated musicians, this is a very comfortable and enjoyable meal.  No matter what kind of officials or friends, they will be satisfied.

    There was a table full of dishes, and Hall Master Xu served them warmly, as a landlord would. Zhao Xianer and Meng Yufei looked at each other, and even served them, so they had no choice but to eat.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????? ????????????????????? ?????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????? Zhao Xian'er and Meng Yufei couldn't say anything in front of their faces.  After all, the official shopping malls in this imperial city are like this, and he is also an acquaintance with Hall Master Xu, so he didn't say anything.

    The two girls, who were greeted very attentively, walked out of the small canteen with a full meal.  His expression seemed a little dull.  They don't know how much of the donations will eventually go to the victims.

    Walking on the streets of the Imperial City, neither of them said anything, but they saw the dreamer saying, "Xian'er, don't worry about it. At least, this one. Some of them will eventually fall to the victims, and so will we."  We¡¯ve tried our best, but now even if we take donations, we still don¡¯t know what good to do!¡±

    Zhao Xianer looked at the remaining dozens of taels of silver in her hand. What could be done with this fraction? It is true that the imperial city was huge, but the money was of little use. There was no way to send it to the victims of the disaster in Xiyun.

    Zhao Xianer held Yinliang's hand tighter. She was indeed powerless. She only had a heart for kindness, but she resented her own incompetence.  But at this moment, feeling Meng Yufei's push, Zhao Xianer looked towards the direction Meng Yufei showed, and saw that it was a very high-end jewelry store. Goodbye, a familiar person  Hall Master Xu was walking out with a charming woman in his arms. The woman's expression was very happy, as if she had received a desired gift.

    Looking at all this, Zhao Xian'er felt helpless, staring at Hall Master Xu who was walking out of the jewelry store. She would not catch Hall Master Xu and then beat him up. She could only watch them.  The efforts and the final donations actually flow into places like this.

    Zhao Xianer looked at the dozens of taels of silver in her hand and smiled helplessly. Meng Yufei also smiled, and they both shook their heads at the same time.

    Two sad figures were walking on the streets of the Imperial City. At this time, Zhao Xianer saw a familiar figure walking by, but she saw that the figure was carrying a large bag of things. It was indeed a big bag. This scene was also  very familiar.

    Seeing this figure, he quickly crossed the street and walked out of the city gate.  This made the two girls very strange. The Zongshan Hall was right next to the city gate, and they walked for a long time before arriving here.

    The two of them have also been curious about what Fu Xiaowa does when he carries so many steamed buns back home every day.  The two girls looked at each other and decided to follow together.

    But I saw that the city gate was only a few steps away, so it was okay to go and have a look. The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop the two girls, but just looked at the two extremely beautiful girls and shed tears.??Water.

    Fu Xiaowa came to the city wall as usual, but he saw that the beggars were more numerous and bigger. The nearby beggars heard that people often gave out steamed buns here, and they couldn't help but gather over. There was a large group of beggars with black crows and crows of heads.

    Seeing Fu Xiaowa's arrival, there was a sudden surge of people. Fu Xiaowa collected a lot of steamed buns. It was a restaurant where ten thousand people ate. The steamed buns he carried once were almost half a person tall.

    ¡°Brother, you¡¯re here, we¡¯ve had a hard time waiting for you!¡±

    "Here are the steamed buns, come on, get in line, there are vegetables here to wipe your sores!" Fu Xiaowa shouted happily.  ``````
