Su Zhaorou’s idea was quite nice, but her idea also happened to meet Xiang Fei’s expectations.
So the mother and daughter couldn't help but start planning...
At the evening dinner, Xiao Lingling attended again in her best attire. As the protagonist of the banquet, she sat between the Queen and the Emperor, which was definitely a very honorable position.
This also directly led to those who originally wanted to attack her having to be patient temporarily.
After all, the emperor clearly wanted to protect someone, and they didn't want to be caught in the crossfire.
However, there is another highlight in today's banquet.
That is, Su Jingsheng sorted out all the previous fundraising lists and handed them over to Su Daocheng.
Su Daocheng simply flipped through it, and the more he flipped through it, the happier his expression became.
Not bad, he actually squeezed out so much silver. He was happy that he could finally solve the refugee problem, but he was also angry about the possible corruption.
However, he didn't show it and just smiled faintly.
"Well, well, well! You are all kind-hearted people. With this money, the drought in the north can be basically brought under control.
There may even be more, which is perfect. I am ready to fight back and send those barbarians back to their own place.
However, General Qin, do you have any good ideas for this?"
When Qin Zheng heard this, his scalp went numb and he quickly stood up to show his loyalty.
"Your Majesty, I also deeply detest the barbarians. I returned this time to ask Your Majesty for more food and fodder. I have indeed discussed some strategies with several deputy generals.
When I return, I will definitely drive the barbarians out of Qingyang. I beg for your permission, Your Majesty!"
Su Daocheng's eyes fell lightly on Qin Zheng, without saying anything good or bad, and the atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
Qin Zheng felt a chill on his back, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Just when he thought he had annoyed the emperor, the other party suddenly laughed twice.
"Hahahaha, great, great, General Qin is so ambitious! I agree, and will arrange for an additional three months of food and fodder to be sent over.
In this case, I will wait for General Qin's victory report in the capital!"
Three months! This means that Qin Zheng must drive out the barbarians within three months.
Qin Zheng had no such ambition. His strategy was just to wait for the barbarians to retreat or negotiate peace after they could no longer hold on.
But since things had come to this, he didn't dare to refuse and had to agree respectfully.
Xiao Lingling glanced at him while eating fruit and immediately exclaimed in her heart.
How could this man be so miserable? It looked like not only had he squandered all his wealth, but he was also about to suffer a bloody disaster?
Tsk, it looks like he's still plagued by bad luck. Whoever gets close to him will be unlucky!
Xiao Lingling quickly rubbed her eyes and stopped looking at him.
——
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
Xiao Lingling still follows the routine and goes to the Shenyi Medicine Hall to see patients every day.
As the reputation of the young miracle doctor grew, more and more people came to see her for treatment.
There were many wealthy and powerful families among them, so after a few days, Xiao Lingling's wallet became much fatter, and she even accumulated a lot of merit.
However, today was the third day, and she had no plans to go to the pharmacy again. Instead, she started dragging Ning Shi shopping.
It was not for any other reason, but because she would be returning to Shuanghe Village the day after tomorrow, and before leaving, she always had to prepare some gifts for her family.
Daddy and Mommy had already made their own preparations, but she was no exception. With Ning Shi as her advisor, she had already thought of what to give!
The two of them went straight to Wanbaozhai as their first stop.
This is the most sought-after gold and silver jewelry store in Beijing. I heard it was the Empress's dowry. The craftsmanship of the masters here is top-notch.
Every month, a set of headwear by Master Lingyue will be released as a showcase, and there will also be four sets of precious jewelry by Master Huang and his disciples.
In addition, Wanbaozhai also accepts custom orders, so both the ladies of wealthy families and the young ladies in Beijing like to come here to buy things.
It's not just because the things here look good, but also because it makes you look good when you wear them.
When Xiao Lingling rescued the twins, the lady gave her jewelry from Wanbaozhai, which was truly exquisite.
Xiao Lingling plans to choose one for everyone in the family.
Yes, one, she can’t afford more.
It's not that she's poor, but everything here is too expensive, often costing hundreds or even thousands of taels...
"Sister Ning Shi, I don't know how to pick these things. What should I do?"
Little Lingling stood in front of the counter, feeling dazzled. All the gold and silver hairpins and rings were so beautiful that she had no way of choosing.
Ning Shi smiled, "It's okay! Let's go by age and preferences! Don't worry, the guys here are very professional. Wait! Come on, come over here."
Ning Shi waved to a clerk behind the counter, who immediately came over with a smile.
"Hello, ma'am. What would you like to buy? Please tell me what you need and I'll recommend it to you!"
Ning Shi looked at Xiao Lingdang and smiled, "Okay, Xiao Lingdang, tell me, who are you going to buy them for?"
Xiao Lingling counted on her fingers, "There are so many. I want to buy a bracelet for grandma, aunt, mother, and three godmothers.
I also need to buy earrings for Sister Tongtong and Sister Qiaomei, and jade pendants for Grandpa, Uncle, Dad and three godfathers.
Oh, yes, yes, and my brothers, there are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven brothers and one younger brother buying, oh my, why are there so many people! "
Xiao Lingling originally thought that she had the reward money and was rich enough to buy something for everyone, but after counting, she found that the number of people was increasing.
