Chapter 1009: Female heroes from various families donate their dowries
Cui Shanzhang looked down on him: "You only opened three private warehouses. You are really stingy, Mr. Que. My Cui family has opened eight private warehouses."
Deputy Headmaster Que rolled his eyes at him and said, "Three private warehouses are already my limit. If I have more, will my branch survive?"
Moreover, Madam Cui had secretly opened the private warehouses of the Cui and Guo families several years ago and gave the supplies inside to Emperor Wuxing.
So the Cui family's donation of eight private warehouses was just a nice way of saying it. In fact, the supplies they had were not as much as the three private warehouses of the Que family.
Dangdang Dangdang!
"Mr. Luan, son of Mr. Jing, is willing to follow the righteous man Mr. Yong and open three private warehouses to donate grain to fight the enemy!"
"Oh, another family has arrived, and it's Mr. Jing's son!" everyone exclaimed.
Mr. Luan's appearance and public promise to open his private granary to donate grain brought today's excitement to its peak.
Because Kang Rong was Master Jing's apprentice and Mr. Luan was Master Jing's son, they were considered relatives, so everyone made way for his family.
Mr. Luan brought his son and walked smoothly to the square table, where he was pulled up by General Yan and his men.
Shanzhang Cui and Deputy Shanzhang Que both whispered, "Why are you here? Your father didn't ask you to come out."
Mr. Luan is not Mr. Jing’s biological son, but was adopted from the Luan family after Mr. Jing’s wife had a miscarriage and was unable to have children for several years.
Originally, Mr. Jing didn't want to adopt a son and just wanted to spend the rest of his life with his wife... But his wife and father-in-law's family both felt that a family must have a child.
Seeing that his wife was also suffering from the distress of being childless, Qiong Lao finally agreed to the adoption.
When Mr. Luan came to Mr. Jing's home, he was still very young, only eight months old, and was raised by Mr. and Mrs. Jing with great effort.
Therefore, he has a very close relationship with the old couple Jing.
Twelve years after Mr. Luan got married and had a child, Mr. Jing's wife passed away peacefully.
After sending his wife away, Master Jing called Mr. Luan and told him that his master came from Xiaoqiong Temple and did not attach much importance to future generations and offspring.
After giving all the family property of his branch and his wife's dowry to Mr. Luan, he told him that from then on, Mr. Luan would have to rely on himself.
Master Jing also said in public that he and his son had divided their property and separated, and that he was going to practice half-cultivation... He was almost telling everyone that if he went crazy and did something in the future, no one should blame Mr. Luan.
Since then, Mr. Jing has lived like a lonely man until now.
But Mr. Luan really likes Mr. Jing as his father...
My father may seem heartless, but he's actually the most affectionate person. Even though my mother had a miscarriage and couldn't have another child, my father remained single throughout his life, devoted only to her. This alone is truly admirable.
Both his mother and father understood that their father had lived most of his life as an ordinary person because of them.
Therefore, before his mother passed away, she told him not to stop his father after she was gone, and to let his father live the carefree life he had always wanted, like an immortal.
Mr. Luan agreed.
However, he still wanted to be close to his father, Master Qiong, so after discussing it with his wife and children, he resigned from his official post and came to Taizhou Academy to become a teacher.
"As a son, I naturally have to support my father." Mr. Luan smiled and responded to the words of the Cui Que elders.
After hearing this, the two elders stopped trying to stop him.
Boom boom boom!
"quiet."
After everyone quieted down, Mr. Luan bowed to everyone present before saying, "I was deeply saddened upon learning of Junior Brother Rong's death, which is why I came here to support him." "As you all know, opening a private granary is extremely difficult, and the consequences are severe. Junior Brother Rong's act of opening a private granary to donate grain to fight the enemy was no easy feat."
"I won't say much else. I simply ask that, no matter what the future holds, please remember Mr. Yong's kindness and don't blame him for his righteous act today, and don't vent your anger on his mother and brother... Luan, hereby, expresses his gratitude to you all."
"Thank you, Mr. Luan." Ying Zilin, Zhou Rong, Xiaobai, and Lin Mujia were all moved by Mr. Luan's request. After thanking him, they all faced the crowd at the city gate, bowed, and pleaded, "Please, everyone, in the future, when times change, please don't blame or question Mr. Rong's private warehouse. And don't take your anger out on Mr. Rong's mother and brother. We thank you!"
There was a moment of silence all around, as everyone was shocked by their request.
After a moment, they burst into a burst of assurance: "Mr. Luan, Mr. Ying, don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, we will always admire Mr. Rong's righteous act!"
What if we can’t win the battle?
What if Mr. Yong is suspected of becoming famous by opening a private warehouse?
That is someone else's fault and has nothing to do with Mr. Rong's righteous act!
"If anyone dares to vent their anger on the mother or brother of a righteous hero, we will definitely attack their home and make sure they don't get away with it!"
"Thank you very much." After receiving this guarantee, Ying Zilin, Zhou Rong, Lin Mujia and others cried with joy.
Dangdang Dangdang!
"Mrs. Cui Shanzhang led the women of the Cui family to donate dowry and supplies, including a hundred slaves who were trained in martial arts, to help the country fight the enemy!"
"The famous scholar, Mrs. Ban Zong, led the women of the Ban family to donate dowry and supplies to help the country fight the enemy!"
"Mr. Ying's wife led the women of the Ying family in Taizhou Prefecture to donate their dowries to help the country fight the enemy!"
"Mr. Luan, Mrs...."
"Mrs. Gu, Vice Principal, donate 50% of your dowry to help the country fight the enemy!"
A series of announcements were heard, startling everyone and making them turn their heads... At the city gate, a large group of richly dressed women came.
Each family is led by an old lady or a lady, followed by unmarried girls wearing veils and holding lists of supplies.
Mrs. Cui looked at them, her heart welling with excitement, her eyes welling up with tears. She shouted, "I am the Princess of Xincheng, conferred upon me by His Majesty the Emperor Taizong, and the Mrs. Cui. Thank you all for donating your dowries to fight the enemy!"
Hundreds of female guards shouted in unison, "Thank you all for donating your dowries and helping our country fight the enemy!"
After reciting it nine times, the sound was so loud that it spread throughout the area near the city gate.
Female hero?
Ban Zong's eldest granddaughter was stunned by this name. Although she kept walking, for some reason, tears fell uncontrollably.
Cui Shanzhang's granddaughter, however, held her head high and proudly accepted the title... Her great-grandmother said that after giving, one should rightfully accept all the rewards.
If you feel that you don’t need to get anything in return after giving, that’s not being humble and generous, that’s being mean!
Ahem, lady, she is a lady from a noble family, you can just curse her in your heart, but you can’t shout it out in public.
The granddaughter of Cui Shanzhang straightened her back again and continued to walk towards Madam Cui with the list of supplies in her hand. However, the Ban family in front of her stopped, so she had to stop as well, tilting her ears to listen carefully to what happened in front.
Soon, the voice of the eldest sister of the Ban family could be heard: "My marriage has already been settled in private. Anyone who uses my marriage to cheat others is openly insulting our Ban family. We will report it to the emperor and will not tolerate it!"
The Ban family heard about what the Mi family had done, and everyone was very angry, but the grandparents always felt that they were all members of the aristocratic family lineage and should not fall out.
He just wanted to arrange her marriage as soon as possible, thinking that the rumors would be self-defeating by then.
She had previously accepted this peaceful resolution under pressure from her family, but when she heard the words "heroine," she couldn't hold back anymore.
What is a heroine?
If she can't even expose someone using her marriage proposal to defraud others, what kind of heroine is she?!
So when Miss Ban passed by the Mi family, she couldn't help but shout out what she had just said.
