Overall, Qing Luo still wanted to build this Charity Hall for the benefit of more hardworking people. She also wanted to let these wives see, they had only donated some silver coins, but the result of that was that they might end up saving their lives.
This was simply shocking. Witnessing the result with their own eyes made them feel that what they had done was worth it. "I never knew what I could do for this country."
"I used to stand guard in the mansion and only look at the little gains in front of me and think that it was all of them. Only now do I know that the outside world is very vast, and there is still a lot of things that I can do.
As Shuntian's Master Cao's wife spoke with reddened eyes, all the other wives agreed. They all felt that it was a meritorious deed for them to be able to participate in the Charity Hall.
"Grand Princess Ning Yuan, I really have to thank you. If you hadn't invited me in, I wouldn't have known of such a place to broaden my horizons."
"The reason why we women stay at home and fight amongst ourselves is because we once had nothing better to do. Now I understand, what's so controversial about that little bit of interest? It's just a matter of having an additional background, and one less piece of jewelry."
"From now on, my family will be taken away with them. I will properly manage my dowry so that the shop and the village can reap some benefits before doing this serious thing. I think that when I die, I won't have any regrets."
Master Meng's wife was also deeply moved. However, what she said made Qingluo not know whether to laugh or cry. "Madam Meng, you are already at the point where you can die without any regrets. Today is just the beginning. We can do more in the future."
"Not only can we save those who have gotten sick, we can also do some good preparations. Maybe we can even extend our hand and save more people during a disaster."
At the thought of saving more people, the ladies grew excited, and some were about to donate again.
"That is not urgent, if there are people who want to donate, they can do so anytime, but our Charity Hall has special accounting records, and has a special accounting office, we will clearly remember the amount of money spent, and now the Charity Hall has enough silver."
"However, we need to prepare for the future. For example, we need more medicinal ingredients, especially those that we can usually use. The prices are not considered expensive, so we need to prepare some food as well."
"If we are in time for the disaster, we can more or less help some people, however, the storage of food takes a bit of effort, and every year we have to deal with the old food, then exchange it for new food, and also prevent the damp, temperature, mildew, and rodent disease. This is not an easy task, and needs someone to manage it."
When Qingluo saw that her wives' emotions were stirred up, she started to imbue them with some of the knowledge. She also wanted to improve some areas within the Charity Hall in order for them to be able to contribute a little more to the Charity Hall.
"Qingluo, I have a manager in my family who specializes in handling food. I let him help manage our granary. I don't think our granary is too big, it should be easy to manage."
"Have him come over from time to time to check on him. Let him do the necessary work for prevention. Let him get out of the warehouse for the time being. Let him gather the food when the time comes."
"Let him clean up our family's granary every year and change our grains into new ones as well. He will clean our account book very well in Yemen, so there won't be any mistakes. Besides, we have an account room in our hall, so we can't make a mistake by letting him manage it."
Zi Rou's mother, Madam Wang, had spoken. Everyone had already gone to the granary in the backyard. They could also store some grain, but it wasn't too big. With the manager's help, it shouldn't be too difficult.
"Then I'll have to thank Lady Wang. When ZiRou was repairing the courtyard, she really did put in a lot of effort. You two mother and daughter really did put in a lot of effort for Charity Hall."
Madam Wang and Zou Rou quickly said a few modest words. Qing Luo then told the other wives, "Ladies and gentlemen, since our Charity Hall is a charity, it's inevitable that we'll have to put in a lot of effort."
"However, after all, we are all only asking everyone to pay a price without obtaining anything. At the very most, we all need to have peace of mind. Thus, everyone must understand one another. Those who can extend their hands, do not be afraid of trouble."
"But if our family has problems, we won't force them. After all, our family is safe and sound, so we can look out for them." Everyone nodded at what Qingluo had said.
However, wherever they could extend their hands, everyone wanted to reach out their hands. After all, to be able to save someone from fire and water was always a good thing, and their hearts were truly at peace. It was much more peaceful than bowing down to countless Bodhisattvas.
"All the madams here are tired. Let's go back to the residence and rest. We don't need to come often. After all, other than taking out some silver coins, we can't really help with anything else."
"Every house in Charity Hall is present, so I want them to report back to the ladies everyday. If they have time to spare, they can come over to take a look."
They were all well-fed madams and mistresses, and were indeed a little tired. Hearing Qingluo's words, they all got up to leave. Qingluo sent them off one by one.
Even when Madam Wang and Madame Jiang wanted to stay, they were pushed out by Qingluo. After all, they were not young anymore, and needed to go back and have a good rest.
"The two of us will accompany you for a while longer." Knowing that Qingluo would definitely not leave now, Madam Hou and Princess Ning Yuan also requested to stay. "The two of you are tired, so don't accompany me anymore."
"Why can't we accompany them? Didn't we prepare a room at the back? The three of us will go to the back and if there's anything urgent, we can have them look for us. On this first day, not only you, we also want to stay."
In the end, Qingluo didn't turn them around either. She let them lock the door, and the three of them each took the girl to the backyard.
When they entered the room, she let the two go to bed first. Seeing that the two of them quickly fell asleep with squinted eyes, she knew that they were too tired, but also knew that they were happy.
The three of them stayed in Charity Hall for the entire day. Fortunately, there were no accidents in Charity Hall and everything went smoothly. Just that, at noon, the doctors, maids and servants were so busy that they did not have time to eat.
The three of them discussed for a while before deciding on a timetable for the diagnosis. They wrote down clearly the time to open the door, the time to close it at noon and the time to close it in the afternoon.
It was carved with a wooden plate and nailed to the right side of Charity Hall's gate. The wooden plate was shallow in color, and with thick black words, it was extremely clear and eye-catching. Anyone who came here would be able to see it, and it was even marked with pictures.
"That's good then. We can't let them not be able to eat, then we won't have the strength to work anymore." The lunch was taken care of by everyone in the hall. It was not the best meal, but it was full. When the ladies returned home, they all asked, and they were all quite satisfied with the answer.
"You're finally back. We won't have to stay in the yamen all day, even if we go to the yamen. But you, on the other hand, are more dedicated than us."
When Qing Luo brought the whole group back home, Luo Qingqi was already waiting anxiously. If not for being worried that he would run into another lady, Luo Qingqi would have rushed to Charity Hall to fetch someone.
Even though she was in a rush, when Qingluo returned home, Luo Qingqi only teased her a little. He knew that it would be tough to stay out here for an entire day.
"Your Highness," the few girls bowed to Luo Qingqi and then started to busy themselves.
"Moyu is also tired today. Go back to your room and rest, let Mo Liu fetch some water for you to wash. Mo Fu will follow Mo Liu to get some water. Seeing Mo Li's instructions, how could Luo Qingqi not know that Qing Luo was tired.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I've already ordered hot water for your wangfei to take a bath." Luo Qingqi was glad that he got someone to prepare the hot water. On his way back, the first thing he did was to take a bath.
Not only did he feel more at ease, he also thought that it must have been hard for Qingluo to start work on the first day. She would definitely be very comfortable when she took a hot bath, so he had prepared it for him.
"Qingjin, thank you!" To be able to take a hot bath immediately, Qingluo was too happy. At this moment, her hands and feet were swollen, and her whole body was sore and soft.
"Our little wangfei really knows how to be polite, being so courteous with hubby!" "No, no!
He quickly followed her inside, helping her to remove her clothes and help her into the tub. The warm water stimulated a comfortable moan from her.
"Don't soak in it for too long. People can't take it." Seeing that Qingluo still had not come out after half a day, Luo Qingqi could not help but shout out worriedly towards the inside.
"Understood, Your Highness, come out." The one who answered was Mo Li, but he didn't hear Qingluo's voice. Luo Qingqi stood up, and walked in after a few steps.
As soon as he entered, he saw that Qingluo had fallen asleep against the edge of the bathtub. Mo Li was trying to pull her up, but Qingluo didn't wake up. Clearly, she was very tired.
"Your Highness," seeing Luo Qingqi coming in, Mo Li called out to him timidly. When he went out in the morning, his Royal Highness had reminded him repeatedly to watch his closely so that he wouldn't be tired.
But when the wangfei was busy, how could she care for her own advice? When she was busy in the afternoon, she even personally went to the medicine hall to get medicine.
At night, all the charity had been closed, and the princess had filled in all the missing herbs. Only then did they return home. Other than the night watchman who stayed in the Charity Hall, the princess was the last to leave the Charity Hall.
"I was just warning you guys in vain. All of you can't feel reassured just because of this." Luo Qingqi was a little angry, but he knew that it was impossible for Mo Li and the rest to not stop them.
