Chapter 407: Half Pride and Half Sadness
"My Lord, have you seen the value of our Xin family?"
Xin Huan was somewhat surprised to learn that Tang Gang had given benefits to the Xin family. After all, in his impression, Tang Gang only knew how to ask for things.
Xin Kuan did not deny it. He stood in the night with his hands behind his back, "If you want to be valued, you have to be strong yourself."
Glancing at Xin Huan who was reeking of alcohol, he said, "Don't think that everything will be fine once your sister marries into the Marquis' Mansion. After you get married, I will give you more things to do. If your sister wants to live well in the Marquis' Mansion, we, as her family, should not hold her back. We should help her. The better she lives, the more power she will have, and the better she will be able to repay us."
“It’s a win-win situation.”
Xin Huan nodded, "I understand what you said, Dad. I know what to do."
The next morning, Xin An woke up earlier than Tang Mo, and told him that they were moving back home today. "The fundraising is about to start, and I'm afraid you won't be free these days. It's not convenient to live here."
Tang Mo was too lazy to move. "I had a dream last night. I dreamed that you gave birth to a child for me. I couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl, but I thought it was very cute. He even hugged me and kissed me on the face."
"Why would I have such a dream?"
Xin An smiled and walked to the bedside to pull him, "You think about it during the day and dream about it at night. Hurry up and get up. There is a restaurant in the city that makes very good breakfast. I'll take you to try it."
She was pulled over instead of being pulled, and fell into Tang Mo's arms. The man who was holding her had a smile on his face, "A beauty threw herself into my arms this morning, it seems like something good is going to happen today."
This messed up Xin An's hair and even her hairpin fell off, but she didn't care. She smiled and ruffled Tang Mo's hair into a mess, hoping that if one of them went crazy, everyone would go crazy too.
The two laughed and joked for a long time. Chunlu was standing outside the door with a smile on her face. When they let her in, they had already dressed properly. Tang Mo combed Xinan's hair himself and put on the hairpin himself. Xin An straightened Tang Mo's hair and also combed a beautiful bun for him. He put on a jade crown, which looked very noble.
By the time the couple returned to Xin's house, it was already noon. The termite nest in the house had miraculously disappeared without a trace, and even several pieces of furniture in the house had been replaced. Xin An couldn't help laughing as he watched.
Tang Mo went to find Tang Gang to talk about the charity hall. Mu De'an also arrived with people from the Ministry of Revenue. He had suffered a loss at the hands of the salt merchants, and seeing Tang Gang's deployment like this, he realized that he had been too reckless before and was laughed at by Tang Gang. Now he could only sit respectfully under Tang Gang and listen to his orders.
Everyone in the Xin family is busy today. Red silk is hung all over the mansion. Shoppers are bringing back carts of vegetables and meat. A temporary kitchen is also being set up outside. The young master of the Xin family is getting married and a three-day banquet is being held in the city. Everyone can sit at the table.
The kitchens of several restaurants in the city were also set up to prepare dishes for the Xin family's wedding banquet, with both steaming and frying being very lively.
The housekeeper in the mansion exchanged several large boxes of copper coins and small silver coins from the money shop. These were the wedding money to be distributed on the way back from the bride's wedding.
Mrs. Xin asked Wang and the old lady for help, and they were responsible for giving the Zhou family the wedding money on the day of the wedding.
More than a dozen people from the clan came to help. Wang whispered to the old lady, "The Xin family will spend no less than 100,000 taels to marry their daughter-in-law."
The old lady smiled and said, "People live their whole lives to enjoy themselves. A family has worked hard to build up such a huge fortune, so they must spend it on their children. I see that the couple loves their children. The girl from the Zhou family is blessed."
Wang nodded, but she was thinking that she used to think Xin An was generous and rich, but now it seemed that he was very frugal. With such a large family business, it was not surprising for him to spend more money.
From this day on, the Xin family began to set up banquets, and clan members would come to eat every night, one to report on the progress of their work, and the other to listen to the clan elders' instructions on what to do the next day.
The Zhou family was also here decorated with red and colorful ribbons. According to the custom of marrying a daughter, Zhou family's relatives had come to celebrate in the past two days, and their daughter had wine at every meal.
With the elders of the clan in charge and clan members helping to manage everything, Xin Kuan and Xin Huan felt at ease and only had to help prepare for the fundraising.
Early in the morning of that day, the charity hall fundraising that the wealthy families in the city had been looking forward to for several days officially began. A grand ceremony was set up in front of the government gate, and all the people who were registering were in place. The accountants borrowed from each family also stood in their respective positions. The owner of the largest money house in the city, Tonghai Bank, came in person with his manager and clerks. The officers and soldiers guarded them in a majestic manner, and the officials surrounded Tang Gang who was standing in the front.
The people who came to watch spontaneously left a space for themselves. The drum and gong team beat the drums with all their might, and the lion dance team was majestic.
When the drums stopped beating, Tang Gang stepped forward and raised his voice to convey the emperor's will. He spoke eloquently about the emperor's great grace, briefly introduced the rules of the donation, and stated, "Within ten years after the end of the donation, no official or person may force donations in the name of the court. Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy!"
"The destination of all donations will be announced every three months and subject to public supervision. No one is allowed to embezzle donations. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!"
When the two were executed without mercy, the onlookers were excited and cheered. Then the fundraising began and the drums sounded again...
The wealthy families such as the Yao family, the Han family, the Zhang family, the Zhou family, etc. began to line up with boxes and chests in their arms. The lowest price they offered was 50,000 taels. They were in the front, which made those who were not so well-off hesitate.
Tang Mo gave Xin Huan a look, and Xin Huan nodded and gestured to the person in the crowd. The person immediately squeezed out of the crowd and said loudly: "Although I am not rich, I also want to contribute my part. I will donate one or two taels. Who knows if my son will need the help of the charity hall in the future."
"I heard that starting from the next imperial examination, the Charity Hall will provide funds to escort our Huaijiang students to Beijing for the examination to ensure that the students arrive safely. My son has a talent for studying, but who knows that there will be no such day? I will donate two taels."
"I donated 300 coins. I heard that the charity hall would buy charcoal in the winter, and said that old people over 60 can get 30 kilograms. I am not rich, so I am willing to give a little to show my appreciation."
Mu De'an finally found an opportunity to show himself. He said that no matter it was one or two taels or a few copper coins, it was the people's sincere love for the country. A drop of water makes an ocean. If all the people in the world were as righteous and kind as the people of Huaijiang, there would be no need to worry about the prosperity of the country.
These common people were highly praised. People who wanted to donate money soon lined up in a long queue. The gongs and drums were beating loudly and the lions of the lion dance team were busy. The busiest people were the accountants. They had to count and verify the donated money and worked on the abacus very quickly. Half of them were from the Xin family. At this moment, they stood up straight. They never thought that the skills that every man in the Xin family had would come in handy today.
There were also a few young men standing at the back stringing copper coins together. Their unique skill of distinguishing coins by their sound impressed many people in the government office. The boss of Tonghai Bank was even more impressed, "Not only do the Xin family have many men, but they all have unique skills. It's really admirable."
Xin Kuan was half proud and half sad, thinking how great it would be if he could trade this unique skill for a talent for studying? !
