From the initial chit-chat to the donation segment.
Madam Jun was the first to donate twenty thousand taels of silver. Li Mi wrote her name on the side.
Feng Xinru donated ten thousand taels.
Madam Feng donated fifteen thousand taels.
The wealthy wives all paid ten thousand taels, and they were already very rich.
The madams had originally donated three to five hundred taels of silver, just to get familiar with the process. This time, donating a few hundred taels was not worth it.
A few hundred taels became a few thousand taels. It was very painful to part.
Han Qiao covered her mouth and smiled, “Thank you for your generosity. 1’11 donate 30,000 taels in my own name.”
Did Han Qiao have money?
She was wealthy.
After buying a house in the capital, the profits of the shops in other places over the past few months were also very good.
She had to find a way to spend the silver notes that Heng Yi had brought back from the raiders.
The construction of the Army required money, and it also required people to settle down, which would also need money.
The people over there would be paid from this silver.
“Do you want to build a small town there?” Someone could not help but ask.
“Something like that. That way, the families of the soldiers in the camp can also have a place to stay.”
Most importantly, it was at the junction of the three continents. It would be convenient to go to any continent from that point.
Han Qiao hadn’t been to the chosen location, but Shopkeeper Zhu, Zhang Zhao, and the others had already made many trips. It was obvious that the location was very good.
The madams were indeed wealthy. With this donation, they had almost 600,000 taels of silver in total. It was enough to build a small town.
Han Qiao beamed with joy. She used all kinds of good words, which were practically free, making the ladies and madams of the various families extremely happy.
Madam Jun and Li Mi whispered, “Your mother-in-law is really good at talking.”
“She’s not usually like this.” Li Mi said softly.
“You don’t understand.”
This was called being flexible and having one’s own integrity.
Han Qiao told the granny from the broker house that she wanted to buy 1,000 people. After buying them, she would give them a good name. This was a good deed.
Especially for women.
Han Qiao didn’t have high requirements. She wanted healthy people and one that had no criminal record.
The granny also knew that Han Qiao was obsessed with looks and didn’t want anybody who wasn’t good-looking.
But in reality, that was not the case.
Han Qiao knew that in this era, beauty itself was a sin. Some women who were too beautiful without proper status and protection would not end up well.
After sending off the guests warmly, Han Qiao left Madam Jun and Li Zhao to stay in the mansion for a short while.
Madam Jun was originally unwilling, but Li Mi begged.
She was also a young lady who had just gotten married, and Han Chi was still a child. She had not fully integrated into this family yet.
Today’s banquet was also nice. It was all properly organized. Regardless of whether it was real or fake, the visiting madams were full of praise.
The dishes were good, the desserts were delicious, and the tea was fragrant. “Mother-in-law, stay for a while. There are many things that I don’t know much about, so I want to ask for advice. Ah-Chi could also learn from Eldest Young Master about these things.” Han Qiao held onto Madam Jun.
She had talked a lot today, and her voice was a little hoarse.
Madam Jun hesitated for a moment, “Alright then, hope I’m not imposing.”
Li Mi was the happiest to have Madam Jun stay.
Li Zhao asked someone to go back to the village to get their clothes.
The Heng Manor had prepared all the toiletries, and they were usable.
Girls always liked exquisite things, whether it comes to clothes, jewelry, or utensils.
Her sisters-in-law had spent a lot of effort to arrange these for guests.
Madam Jun wanted to stay, so Li Mi asked someone to go to the kitchen and make a few dishes that her mother and brother liked to eat.
It was also around that time when Heng Yi returned.
He was carrying a basket of pears in his hand.
Heng Yi had tanned a lot after running errands outside.
He Cheng ran over to him, “Father!”
Heng Yi picked him up with one hand and threw him into his arms.
He Chengge giggled.
When Ah-Yao, who was being carried by Pucao, saw this, he also cried out excitedly. “Father, hug! Hug!”
He could say ‘Father’ loud and clear, while his lips still mumble around the word ‘hug’.
Heng Yi smiled and handed the pears to the servant.
He reached out and hugged Ah-Yao.
Yao immediately kissed him on the cheek.
He Cheng also kissed him on the other cheek.
“Clean these then share them equally with everybody.”
“Yes, Marquis,” Pucao immediately responded.
Since the Marquis had returned, it was not her turn to take care of Ah-Yao.
She did some errands and also went to visit Dong Lai.
It was good to talk to him when they had the time.
When Heng Yi arrived at the main courtyard, Han Qiao was discussing the matter of the cotton cloth with Shulan and Duan Yue.
They decided to buy two sets of clothes for each person. The weather was so hot that it was impossible to go on throughout the day without changing..
