Li Huang waved his hand: "No matter where she learned it from, in short, keep an eye on her and don't let her escape."
Lingyuan nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I fed her two packets of cartilage powder, and she doesn't have the strength to act like a monster."
Not long after, Ah Yuan came back.
"Your Highness, Mrs. Yu heard that you were hosting a banquet tomorrow, so she specially called two pastry chefs from Jiangnan to come over, and my servant made arrangements for them."
The dim sum chefs under Mrs. Yu all have unique skills. The dim sum and fruits they make are beautiful and delicious, and there are many varieties.
Otherwise, Yu's Tea House charges so much, but it is still full every day.
"Mrs. Yu is really thoughtful. After the banquet is over tomorrow, you can go to the warehouse to get twenty taels of silver and reward them."
Li Huang was always generous to his own people, so when the two masters came, they were very happy.
The next day.
Zuo Qing and Ye Jiuning came here early. After seeing the ceremony, Li Huang handed them the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctors.
However, such a large amount of wages is definitely not something that house ladies like them can afford on a monthly basis.
"This seems to be a snack unique to Yu's Tea House."
While a few people were talking, ladies from various houses arrived one after another.
A girl who has not left the palace has no private property in her hands, and her monthly monthly silver is only a few taels. People with higher family status have twenty taels.
When everyone saw her asking, some people couldn't help but said: "Miss Ye, we are not willing to contribute. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of border officers and soldiers, and just us, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
Ordinary people can only earn enough to live and clothe themselves throughout the year, so it is obviously unrealistic for them to work for free.
In the end, I didn’t forget to put a little gold on everyone’s face.
Ye Jiuning saw that Li Huang really had no intention of supporting her, so she had no choice but to express her thoughts.
As soon as the words fell, the garden fell into silence.
"There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the northwest border. I'm afraid these ladies and ladies in the capital alone won't be able to do that much. Why don't you mobilize the people in the capital so that things can be sent out as quickly as possible."
Everyone ate tea and snacks, but they didn't look at Ye Jiuning.
After saying this, she flicked her sleeves and sat at the front seat, acting as if it didn't matter to her.
She asked unwillingly: "What do you mean by this? Don't you want to participate?"
There are many rare flower varieties that Mo Jingzhan specially bought from various places, which made the ladies who know the goods have their eyes opened.
"I didn't expect that the eldest princess would be so generous as to invite the pastry chef from Yu's Tea House to the mansion."
Li Huang said calmly: "Without courtesy, I will be the one taking the lead today, and the host is Miss Ye."
In short, her father would not object to such a good thing that would benefit the soldiers.
Zuo Qing glanced at Ye Jiuning, and then said: "This was our plan from the beginning, but how to mobilize so many people is a problem."
It has not been easy for them to save some private money over the years.
Another voice also echoed: "That's right, Miss Ye opened her mouth and said it lightly. Even if you mobilize the people of the whole city, it will take a long time. Besides, we girls who have not left the government can't raise so much money."
Pay them wages."
The servants in the mansion brought out the snacks one after another, and those who knew the goods immediately called out.
In the yard, flowers are blooming.
She finally wanted to do something to earn some face in front of Li Huang, but the current situation was obviously something she had not expected.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Ye Jiuning wanted to do by inviting them here.
"This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. The soldiers at the border will definitely remember you in the future."
Therefore, she never held any banquets.
Li Huang gave them serious advice.
Li Huang stood up and said to Zuo Qing and Ye Jiuning: "Let's go."
"Your righteousness will surely be visible to the people all over the world, and everyone will be grateful for your righteous deeds."
"Everyone can chip in a hundred taels, and I think that's enough. It's not like you don't even have a hundred taels, right?"
If this was not Prince An's Mansion, they would really want to take action.
But if something goes wrong, all they have to lose is their money.
In the past, Li Huang had a bad reputation, and none of the noble ladies in the capital wanted to befriend her.
Li Huang understood that they wanted to mobilize the young ladies from various prefectures. Those who could contribute money would contribute, and those who could contribute would contribute.
However, the crowd remained silent for a while.
But they still have to spend money on weekdays. Occasionally they go shopping with their little sisters to buy some clothes and jewelry, and that’s about it. If they are asked to contribute the money, where can they get it?
Ye Jiuning became anxious when he heard this: "But it won't cost much money. There are so many idle women in the capital. Just tell them that we are making medicine packs for the border soldiers and give them some medicine every day."
For the ration money, they must be willing to do it.”
A Yuan came in and said: "Your Highness, everyone is almost here, can we start?"
This is the first time today.
There are at least a hundred people here, one hundred taels per person, which is ten thousand taels, which is not enough for her to go back and order some from her father and aunt.
Seeing this, Ye Jiuning's heart suddenly went cold.
"Now that the war is on the rise, if the soldiers at the border know that there are people behind them supporting them, they will definitely work harder to guard the border."
Obviously, no one was interested in the pie she painted for everyone.
As soon as Li Huang entered the door, everyone stood up and saluted: "See the eldest princess."
"Yes, it tastes like this. I've eaten there twice. The dim sum there is so expensive. It cost me two or three months of silver."
Therefore, they came to hold this banquet today because they wanted to mobilize the young ladies in each mansion to see if they have this heart.
They didn't expect that the money was so generous. Just seeing these snacks being served on the table like water, which are usually sold in limited quantities in teahouses, they felt that today's trip was worth it.
However, since Ye Jiuning wanted to do something, she would not interfere in this matter.
This matter may be difficult.
She's not stupid at all. If this kind of thing is done well, her reputation belongs to Ye Jiuning alone. They are just helpers at most.
Because, in addition to labor issues, those medicinal materials also cost money. They didn't think that Ye Jiuning, a concubine, could afford such a huge sum of money.
Ye Jiuning really didn't expect that these people could be so indifferent.
"Forget about the family members of civil servants, but there are also many girls from military generals' families sitting here. Don't you have any empathy?"
Ye Jiuning simply couldn't understand it.
At this time, someone finally couldn't help but stood up and was about to say goodbye.
"Your Highness, the eldest princess, I have something else to do, so I will take my leave now."
