Blessed Daughter

The nanny was frightened by this kneeling. She was about to bend down to pull Wei Ruo, but was supported by Xiumei beside her.

Xiumei had long known that Wei Ruo would kneel like this today, and also knew that the wet nurse would not dare to accept such a kneeling, so she stood beside her early and held the wet nurse in time.

Then in full view of everyone, Wei Ruo kowtowed to the nanny.

Wei Ruo had wanted to do this for a long time, but she knew that if she did it before, it would be unfair and the nanny would not be able to accept it.

Until now, the wet nurse has become her adoptive mother, and she can legitimately accept her kneeling.

Everyone looked at this scene and didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment. They just felt that Princess Rui valued Mrs. Xu more than they thought.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to kneel down to her in front of so many people.

She is the dignified Princess Rui. According to etiquette, even when facing Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei, she does not need to kneel down and even accept the courtesy from them.

This is tantamount to telling everyone in the capital that she, Princess Rui, treats Mrs. Xu as her own mother.

Yun stood up suddenly, and Mo quickly reached out to hold her.

"Third brother and sister, calm down." Mo reminded in a low voice.

"How could she..."

"Third brother and sister, if there is anything we can discuss later, we can wait until we get back." Mo reminded her again.

Mrs. Yun pursed her lips, and the hand held by Mrs. Mo grabbed the tablecloth in front of her, tugging the beautiful fabric into a ball.

Madam Mo didn't know what to say at this moment, so she could only remind Madam Yun repeatedly that all the ladies in the capital were here.

After a while, Yunshi sat back down again.

Although she was not impulsive, her expression was extremely ugly.

It happened that someone came over to congratulate her at this time.

"Congratulations to Mrs. Wei, you have an extra relative."

"Mrs. Xu's son is a subordinate of Mr. Wei, so your two families can be considered as close relatives."

"..."

Yun's face was dark and she couldn't say a word.

Fortunately, Mrs. Mo helped her respond to everyone one by one, and then explained to everyone: "My third sister-in-law caught a cold yesterday and is feeling a little unwell today."

"Mrs. Wei really loves her daughter. She didn't forget to come to the banquet hosted by her even though she was ill."

"Mrs. Wei, you should pay attention to your body."

Everyone said some caring words to Yunshi and then dispersed.

Wei Qingwan glanced specifically in the direction of Yun's family, and she was relieved when she saw that Yun's face looked ugly.

She didn't understand what Wei Qingruo was doing. He wanted to make friends with a wet nurse from a humble background without trying to please his more promising mother, and even did things like kneel down regardless of her status.

According to Wei Qingruo's calculation, he shouldn't do such a stupid thing, because he was afraid that there would be other plans behind her move.

Knowing that the wet nurse was not suitable for such an occasion, Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to take the wet nurse down after announcing the matter in public.

If Wei Ruo knew that after today's move, no one could stop her from recognizing the wet nurse as her adoptive mother. Then would it be okay to worship her? In everyone's eyes, the wet nurse was already her adoptive mother.

This directly stopped the minds of the Wei family who might have objections.

At the same time, it also fulfilled one of Wei Ruo's own wishes.

Then Wei Ruo will officially start today's activities.

First of all, of course, it was time to eat. Good wine and good food were served. The wine was made with thyme, and Xu Ji was indispensable for the braised food. There were also chicken and duck meat. The chicken was made into soup, and the duck was made into roast duck.

There are also mushrooms, rapeseed, mustard greens, and radishes. Although these are just ordinary vegetables, they are all fresh and very delicious, and have won unanimous praise from everyone.

After the meal, Wei Ruo took everyone to the theater.

This theater already existed in the palace, but Wei Ruo had never used it because she didn't like to listen to operas.

Wei Ruo brought everyone here today not to listen to the show, but for another purpose.

Everyone took their seats in order according to their status.

Wei Ruo, Zuo Lingyue, Qi Shijing, and Wei Qingwan sat in the middle of the first row according to their status. Yun and Mo sat in the first row closer to each other because of their close relationship with Wei Ruo. .

At this time, Mrs. Yun's face was still extremely ugly, and Mrs. Mo was pulling her away the whole time.

After everyone was seated, Wei Ruo asked someone to carry several mahogany boxes to the stage.

Then Wei Ruo stood up and turned around to explain her intention to the people behind her: "Madams and ladies, I think you all know that although we have tried our best to set up several relief points around the capital, compared with today's large Famine, after all, is only a drop in the bucket. And we have not touched the areas where famine is really severe."

"Therefore, I want to raise another wave of supplies and send them directly to Shandong, which is currently the most severely affected. For this reason, I have specially prepared some items for auction, and all the proceeds from the auction will be used for this disaster relief."

"You don't have to be mentally burdened. If you have something you like, just bid to buy it. No matter the price is high or low, it is everyone's contribution to this disaster relief operation. I am very grateful for everyone's generosity; if not If you like it, come and support me today and watch the excitement, I am equally grateful."

Wei Ruo explained to everyone.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts dropped at first.

I thought Princess Rui was directly asking them to donate money, but she ended up asking them to buy something.

It's a good idea, and we don't force them to pay. Even if they do pay, it's still a purchase. They will gain something and not suffer a loss.

Then Wei Ruo asked people to place the first item for auction today: Daiyueju beauty set: peach blossom rouge, skin care cream, whitening cream, blue wind chime perfume and indigo eyebrow pencil.

Starting price: one bucket of rice.

Hearing this, everyone showed surprise.

Everyone present knows more or less that the prices of these things for a month-to-month residence are not cheap.

Even if the price of food is rising now, the price of a bucket of rice will never buy this complete set of goods for a month-long stay.

There are also good products that require premium membership to reserve.

"Nine brothers and sisters, why do we use rice? Instead of silver?" Zuo Lingyue asked.

"Yes, Ninth Brother and Sister, wouldn't silver coins be more convenient?" Qi Shijing also asked.

Wei Qingwan did not dare to speak at this time, but looked at Wei Ruo with the same doubtful eyes.

"I did this auction not for your silver coins, but for food relief. You gave me the silver coins, and I couldn't find a place to exchange them for food. The victims couldn't fill their stomachs even with the silver coins, so I just wanted Rice grain." Wei Ruodao.

Wei Ruo knew that many of the people present were women from aristocratic families. They or their families had many farms and houses in other places.

These farms and villages either have grain stocks from previous years or they bought grain from elsewhere and hoarded it. In short, there is no shortage of grain.

It may not be possible to buy these grains directly with money. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they could use this method to give out some of the grains?
