Facing Madam Liu's teasing, Xie Liuzheng explained with a wry smile, "In fact, I have wanted to visit Madam Liu for a long time, but I was worried that Madam Liu was busy with work, so I didn't come to bother her!"

?

"I came here specially today. I have a small matter that I would like to ask Madam for help."

?

As she said this, she asked the servant behind her to take out the fine silk satin she had brought, but Madam Liu just glanced at it and asked someone to put it aside.

?

"Oh, what do you want to see me for, Miss Xie?"

?

Xie Liuzheng seemed not to notice Madam Liu's arrogance. She went straight to the point of explaining her purpose. "Madam Liu, I accidentally heard last time that you are a very kind person! Now my shop has a lot of ready-made clothes piled up, and the pressure in the warehouse is too great, so I thought of holding a ready-made clothes auction."

?

"Of course, after deducting the cost from the auction proceeds, my Xie family will donate all of it to build a charity school or repair roads."

?

"It's just that my Xie family can't do this alone, so I can only take the liberty to come and trouble Madam. I think Madam is enthusiastic about charity, so she will naturally be happy to call people for charity."

?

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu became somewhat interested.

?

She naturally knew that doing charity would greatly benefit her husband's political achievements. Moreover, she didn't need to actually donate money, she just needed to act as a go-between.

?

Naturally, there are many people willing to pay for it.

?

But Mrs. Liu was still a little uncertain. She could help recruit people, but if all the credit in the end was attributed to the Xie family, wouldn’t her efforts be in vain?

?

Mrs. Liu was naturally not happy about doing things that would help others!

?

Mrs. Liu picked up the teacup and drank the tea quietly. She looked like she was not interested in the matter.

?

Xie Liuzheng smiled and said, "Of course, Liuzheng is embarrassed to let Madam Liu go through so much trouble in vain! For the charity funds raised that day, Liuzheng naturally needs to find a prestigious and trustworthy person to help look after them! And Liuzheng feels that Madam is the perfect choice!"

?

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu put down her teacup. Seeing that Xie Liuzheng was so tactful, she naturally agreed with a smile.

?

"You've said so many nice things. If I don't agree, wouldn't I be a bad person? Forget it, forget it. I'll stand up for you this time. Just remember my kindness in your heart!"

?

?

After hearing this, Xie Liuzheng breathed a sigh of relief, and looked as if she was afraid that Madam Liu would not agree.

?

Her expression successfully pleased Mrs. Liu.

?

Madam Liu immediately took her hand and said with emotion, "Why are you so nervous, kid? Even if I don't agree, there are many people in Yangzhou City who are willing to step forward!"

?

"I believe they will gladly agree to your condition."

?

In response, Xie Liuzheng shook his head, "To be honest, Madam Liu, if it was someone else, I would not be very reassured! But because it is you, Liuzheng feels very relieved! Thank you, I believe that after this charity auction, everyone will know that Madam Liu is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted!"

?

"If there were more wives of officials like you in Yangzhou City, it would be a blessing for the people of Yangzhou City!"

?

Mrs. Liu felt embarrassed by Xie Liuzheng's praise, "How can I be as good as you say? Please stop flattering me, or I will really become proud."

?

"Madam, you should be proud. Under the governance of Lord Liu, Yangzhou City is in good order. People leave their doors unlocked at night. Even the capital cannot achieve this!"

?

No one doesn't like to hear good words, especially what Xie Liuzheng said made Mrs. Liu feel comfortable all over. She not only praised her, but also her husband.

?

Madam Liu naturally hoped that she would pass this message to the ears of Marquis Pingxi, as that would be of great benefit to her husband's promotion.

?

"You're a good kid! I really love you. When will the charity auction be held? Let me know in advance so I can invite some sisters to go and show your support!"

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng hurriedly stood up and squatted to salute.

?

Madam Liu tried to stop him, "Why are you suddenly being so polite, kid? Hurry up and get up. You did a good deed, and I should thank you! Why are you being so polite to me?"

?

Facing Madam Liu's heartfelt words, Xie Liuzheng looked at her with great emotion, "Madam, you are kind-hearted and don't despise Liuzheng's background! Liuzheng naturally regards Madam as a close elder, and I still want to thank Madam for her righteousness this time. Otherwise, even if Liuzheng wanted to do good deeds, he would be afraid that he would not be able to do it in the end, and would end up being blamed by everyone!"

?

"There are many things that Liu Zheng doesn't understand, so Madam needs to remind and teach Liu Zheng more often!"

?

Faced with such a humble Xie Liuzheng, Madam Liu naturally agreed with pleasure. She had originally asked Xie Liuzheng to help introduce her husband to the Marquis of Pingxi last time, but Xie Liuzheng declined.

?

For this reason, Madam Liu disliked Xie Liuzheng for a while. She thought that this little girl must have become too proud and thought that she looked down on her because she had the support of Marquis Pingxi.

?

But now Xie Liuzheng had something to ask of her, so she lowered her posture so much, gave Madam Liu enough face, and flattered her.

?

Now Mrs. Liu likes Xie Liuzheng no matter how she looks at him.

?

Afterwards, she took Xie Liuzheng aside and asked him a lot of questions about the charity auction. Mrs. Liu had a clear idea of ​​what was going on, so she let Xie Liuzheng leave.

?

Mrs. Liu was also busy as well. She immediately sent invitations to her familiar sisters and several wives of officials.

?

Although everyone was surprised and felt that Mrs. Liu's invitation was very sudden, they did not want to offend Mrs. Liu, so they all replied that they would come on time.

?

Mrs. Liu also sent a letter to Xie Liuzheng.

?

Of course, Xie Liuzheng declined, saying that she still had a lot of preparations to do, so she decided not to join in the fun, and Madam Liu did not force her.

?

With this, all the preparations have been completed.

?

Now just waiting for the charity auction to start.

?

However, both the shop assistants and Xie Liuzheng were relaxed and happy. However, in the Xiangyun Garment Shop a few shops away, Manager Huang, his shop assistants and embroiderers were facing a mountain of orders, but they were shrouded in worries.

?

The embroiderers were poached from other companies with high salaries, but even the most experienced ones were overwhelmed by the volume of orders.

?

"There are so many orders. Even if we don't eat, drink or sleep, we still can't finish them!"

?

An embroiderer couldn't help but complain.

?

Then the other embroiderers also echoed, "Isn't this asking for our lives? The compensation we agreed on doesn't mean we have to risk our lives for it!"

?

"It's good that we want to make money, but we also need to stay alive to spend money! What do we need money for when our lives are almost gone?"

?

Faced with such complaints, Shopkeeper Huang had no words to say. He had clearly gone to ask the person sent by his boss yesterday, but the other party ignored him altogether!

?

Now, how long will it take to complete so many orders?

?

Do they open and then start pushing orders? If that's the case, they might as well not open.
