The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Miaoyu, one of the twelve beauties of Jinling, is a native of Gusu. She is beautiful, intelligent, pure in heart, rich in talent and elegant in taste.

She has been weak and sick since she was a child, and after a long time of treatment, she had to be instructed by an expert to enter the Buddhist sect before she recovered, so she has been practicing in Buddhism.

In the original book, she went to the capital with her master. Later, because Mrs. Wang believed in Buddhism, she lived in Jia's mansion and met a group of girls.

Of course, adhering to Cao Gong's consistent style, her final ending was also very bad: she was taken away by thieves, lost her innocence, and was finally killed.

Jia Jue never expected to meet Miaoyu on such an occasion.

According to his understanding of Miaoyu in the original book, although she is not unreal, she should not be associated with such an occasion anyway.

"Benefactors, I am a resident of Panxiang Temple. Over the past few months, Panxiang Temple has accepted many refugees. The food in the temple has been exhausted, and it is no longer able to bear the many refugees. I also ask for your help. The people of Panxiang Temple are grateful, and I also wish Praying for the benefactor for one month." Miaoyu said to the crowd.

"This is a righteous act, how can we just sit back and watch! I would like to donate 1000 taels!"

"That's right! How can we be indifferent to such a good deed! I donate 2000 taels."

"The elders in my family are all believers. It would be great if layman Miaoyu could come to my house to pray for blessings! 3000 taels!"

……

After Miaoyu's words fell, everyone responded one after another, the price also rose steadily, and the competition gradually became fierce.

Looking at Miaoyu on the stage, Jia Jue frowned slightly, his eyes full of thought.

But at this moment, Miao Yu slowly glanced at everyone, and finally, her gaze suddenly stopped on Jia Jue.

"Is this young master Yu who is famous all over the world?" She asked Jia Jue.

Jia Jue looked up at her and said with a smile: "I dare not be famous all over the world, Jia Jue, I have met Layman Miaoyu."

Miaoyu's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she bowed to Jia Jue: "Young Master Yu put down the locust plague, there are countless people alive, there is nothing good, please accept Miaoyu's gift."

Jia Jue shook his head: "The layman praised it a lot, but it's just a matter of duty."

"Young master is high-spirited and upright, with an open mind like a valley, Miaoyu admires him." Miaoyu saluted Jia Jue again.

Seeing Miaoyu admiring Jia Jue so much, many male guests showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

Jia Jue is from the north, why is he acting so pretentious in the south?
Immediately someone asked:

"I don't know how much money Hou Ye plans to donate to help the refugees today?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at him jokingly.

This question is very tricky. If you say too little, you will inevitably be ridiculed; if you say too much, you will be criticized. After all, he is an official of the imperial court.
Jia Jue smiled lightly: "I don't donate a penny."

what?
These words made everyone in the field stunned, and no one expected Jia Jue to answer like this.

But then, all kinds of condemnation came one after another:
"Heh, one of them doesn't pay a penny. Is this the style of Lord Hou?"

"It's a pity that the people of the world still speak for you, it's unbelievable that they are so cold-blooded and ruthless!"

"Bah! You are a rich and heartless shameless person! Just look at me, I will donate 5000 taels!"

"What a benevolence and perseverance, it's unbelievable that it is such a benevolence and righteousness!"

……

Miaoyu and Mudan also looked at Jia Jue in surprise, they never thought that Jia Jue would be so ruthless, even unwilling to make gestures.

"Since that's the case, I won't force you, my lord." Miao Yu glanced at Jia Jue, her beautiful face was full of disappointment.

But at this time, she suddenly heard Jia Jue say again:

"I don't donate a penny. However, if there are refugees with quick hands and feet, they can come to the Yanzheng Yamen to find me. I have work for them, and the daily wage is fifty pennies."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned again.

Miao Yu, who was originally full of disappointment, had a strange look in her beautiful eyes.

Jia Jue had just come from the capital, so there was no work to do, so it was nothing more than giving the refugees a chance to support themselves.

Wouldn't it be better for them to get money for their labor than to just give them food?
They have hands and feet, and they are not beggars, so why should they live on charity?

Jia Jue's move not only allowed them to get enough food, but also took into account their dignity.

It is really the best policy.

She took a deep look at Jia Jue and praised: "Master, this method is excellent, Miao Yu admires it."

At this moment, everyone came back to their senses, looking at Jia Jue with astonishment in their eyes, this method is indeed a good one.

At this time, Jia Jue said lightly: "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

Miaoyu looked at Jia Jue and murmured over and over again the words "Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish". Every time she repeated it, the look in her beautiful eyes became brighter.

After a while, she suddenly said to Jia Jue:

"Young Master's words are even reasonable and famous, and Miaoyu is taught. This is a great kindness, and Miaoyu is willing to follow the young master and pray for the young master."

The voice fell, and there was an uproar in the field.

They were fighting here right now, their faces were red, but Jia Jue only used a fluffy sentence to make Miaoyu take the initiative to "fall into her arms".

How can they bear it?

In particular, in their view, Jia Jue is an outsider, so why should he grab something from them?
"Wait a minute!"

A voice rang out.

Everyone followed the prestige, but saw a short and fat young man standing up and shouting to Miaoyu:
"Lady Miaoyu, my family is short of manpower. There are only a few thousand refugees in your monastery. I want them all. One hanging every month for food and shelter."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words:

"Okay! Mr. Huang is so brave! Admire! Admire!"

"Quick! You are worthy of being a scholar in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"What kind of fish and fishermen are just some refugees, Mr. Huang has raised them!"

Amidst the compliments from the crowd, Mr. Huang gave Jia Jue a sidelong glance, and snorted coldly, "You think you're an elephant because you have a pig's nose with an onion in it?"

Then he looked at Miaoyu again, with a wicked smile on his face:

"Layman Miaoyu, isn't my solution much better than his? Layman, why don't you go to my house?"

Miaoyu hesitated when she heard the words. According to reason, Mr. Huang's method is indeed very good for the refugees. They not only pay wages, but also cover board and lodging.

But she always felt that there seemed to be something wrong.

"Layman Miaoyu, it is obvious which one is better and which one is worse, why are you still so hesitant?"

"Mr. Huang is a powerful family, and it's just a piece of cake to arrange thousands of people."

"That's right, this matter is a great thing for the refugees, why shouldn't the lay people?"

"Layman, please make a quick decision."

……

Seeing Miaoyu's hesitation, everyone tried to persuade her.

Under their persuasion, Miaoyu was unavoidably shaken, and her point of view gradually shifted to Mr. Huang.

However, at this moment, Jia Jue suddenly smiled softly.
