Chapter Forty: Donate money
Qi Ying looked at the woman in red. Isn't it the girl in red who collided with her on the cross bridge?
The scene where the two of them were shocked on the horse is still vivid in my mind. Why did she come here?
Qi Ying's head was buzzing.
The girl in red was Wang Yuejiao. She was also surprised and stared at Qi Ying intently.
The two looked at each other and were both stunned.
Qi Ying was the first to react, turned around and strode away.
Then Wang Yuejiao came to her senses. She used her Qing Kung Fu to sneak to the door of the banquet hall, and raised her palm to stop Qi Ying.
She glared at Qi Ying angrily and said, "We are enemies on a narrow road. Let's see where you want to escape."
Qi Ying was stunned and refused to let him out. He hurriedly explained: "Girl, it was a misunderstanding before. A misunderstanding."
Wang Yuejiao didn't appreciate it and said: "You frightened my horse, this matter is not over yet."
Qi Ying continued to explain: "Girl, I did that accidentally, not on purpose."
Wang Yuejiao still didn't appreciate it and said angrily: "Explanation is useless, just give me a slap in the face."
After she finished speaking, she struck Qi Ying with her palm.
Qi Ying dodged backwards, while Wang Yuejiao raised her palms and chased after her.
There wasn't much space in the house, so when he saw her chasing after her, he jumped up and hugged the beams under the roof.
Wang Yuejiao couldn't fly up, so she pointed at him and said: "Come down, if you can, come down!"
Qi Ying hugged Hualiang and did not dare to go down. She argued, "If you have something to say, why would you hit someone?"
Wang Yuejiao said: "You must apologize to me."
The other people in the living room were confused and at a loss by this unexpected situation.
Huang Dajie came to his senses and shouted loudly: "Calm down, stop it!"
Wang Yuejiao stopped chasing and Qi Ying fell from the roof beam.
The man in yellow walked up to Wang Yuejiao and asked, "Cousin, what's going on?"
Wang Yuejiao's face turned red and she pointed at Qi Ying and said: "He frightened my horse and I almost fell off."
After hearing this, the man in yellow became angry and raised his fist to hit Qi Ying, but was stopped by Wang Yuejiao.
Wang Yuejiao said: "Forget it, it's all over. It's a trivial matter."
Huang Dajie held up his hands and said solemnly: "The four of you are our life-savers in Taizhou City. In the face of a powerful enemy, you should put aside your small personal celebrations."
Qi Ying responded: "Your Excellency is right."
Huang Dajie said again: "Listening to the argument between the two just now, it's nothing.

It's a big matter, and it's better to resolve enemies than to make enemies, so let's leave it at that."
Qi Ying responded: "Yes, sir."
Wang Yuejiao responded silently with her fists clasped, expressing her agreement.
Qi Ying clasped her fists and apologized to Wang Yuejiao: "It was my fault that day and the girl was frightened. I am very sorry. Qi Ying apologizes to the girl."
When Wang Yuejiao saw Qi Ying apologizing, she also responded with her arms raised and her face turned sideways: "I, Wang Yuejiao, for the sake of your dignity, let's forget this."
Everyone was seated. Huang Dajie introduced the four of them according to their seats.
The girl in red is named Wang Yuejiao. She is the daughter of Wang Dong from Nanxi Household. She came to Taizhou to visit relatives. When she returned, she was stuck in Kuaiji Mountain and could not get out.
She was not familiar with the geography of Taizhou and wanted to find other routes, so she hurriedly crossed the road and collided with the salesman. Then there was a scene where she and Qi Ying were immediately shocked.
After Qi Ying ran away, she couldn't find any other way around Huiji Mountain, so she had to turn around and return to her relatives' house.
The man in yellow is named Ma Jun, and he is Wang Yuejiao's cousin.
Ma Jun's family lives in Xianju Town, Taizhou. It is a large village called Majiazhuang with thousands of villagers.
Ma Jun's father was a big village owner, Wang Yuejiao's uncle. Wang Yuejiao's relative's house was Majiazhuang.
Ma Jun obeyed his father's order and led six hundred men from the village to support Taizhou City. Wang Yuejiao lived in the village and had nothing to do, so she followed Ma Jun to Taizhou City.
The other person beside Ma Jun was Taizhou oiran Cui Qiao. Cui Qiao also introduced herself to everyone.
Next came Qi Ying, who also introduced himself and said: "I am from Shandong. I came here to fight against the Japanese. I was fortunate enough to be appreciated by the adults and became the leader of the township league."
After bowing to each other, Wang Yuejiao curiously asked Qi Ying: "You are from Shandong. Are you visiting relatives and unable to return?"
Qi Ying smiled and said: "I have no relatives here. I came here on my own initiative to fight against the Japanese."
The conversation turned to the war.
Huang Dajie said: "Currently there are 4,000 officers and soldiers in Taizhou City, plus 3,000 militiamen, and 600 people from Majiazhuang. There are quite a lot of troops defending the city. What we are worried about now is the silver issue. The city is in urgent need of silver.
Military uniforms and weapons.”
After hearing this, Cuiqiao said tactfully: "Sir, if Taizhou City cannot be saved, it will be useless no matter how much money I have. I am willing to donate five thousand taels of silver to save Taizhou City."
Huang Dajie was waiting for these words. He raised his hands and said happily: "Miss Oiran is indeed generous and generous. I would like to thank Miss Cuiqiao on behalf of the people of Taizhou City."
Cuiqiao smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you praised me."
Seeing this, Wang Yuejiao also spoke: "I am

I don’t have much silver on me, so I’ll donate some, five hundred taels.”
Huang Dajie was overjoyed and said happily: "Miss Wang is generous and generous. I, Huang Dajie, admire her very much."
Qi Ying touched the two taels of silver in his pocket, took it out and put it on the table, saying, "That's all I have."
Wang Yuejiao looked at Qi Ying curiously, and took this out too?
Huang Dajie wrote the donation list, picked it up and read: "Thank you to Majiazhuang for supporting 600 soldiers and donating 30 carts of grain and grass; thank you to Miss Cuiqiao for donating 5,000 taels of silver; thank you to Miss Wang Yuejiao for donating 500 taels of silver."
Thank you Qi Ying for donating all your money."
After thanking him, Huang Dajie's face was full of joy and he said: "Now the township regiment has been formed, and the troops from Majiazhuang have come, which has increased a lot of troops. In terms of military supplies, we have received donations from everyone, and finally the urgent need of Taizhou City has been solved. Thank you all brothers.
sisters."
Several people chatted happily. Ma Jun asked: "Sir, where will my six hundred villagers live tonight? Zhang Gan asked us to squeeze into an abandoned weaving workshop to sleep. The villagers went to see it and said that it was full of people.
They can't live in the dust."
"Oh!" Huang Dajie's face tightened slightly, wondering: "There are a large number of refugees in the city. All the inns have been requisitioned as military barracks and refugee reception rooms, and they are already full. There are only a few small rooms left in the county government.
.The only place in the city that can accommodate a large number of people and take shelter from the rain is the abandoned weaving mill."
"This..." Ma Jun looked anxious, "I'm afraid my villagers won't be able to bear this suffering."
Upon hearing this, Cuiqiao interjected: "The Zuihua brothel is three stories high and can accommodate seven or eight hundred people. I am willing to persuade the madam to dedicate the brothel to Master Ma and his husband."
Ma Jun's eyes lit up and he said overjoyed: "Really? Can Miss Cuiqiao persuade the madam to vacate the floor for us to use?"
Cuiqiao smiled and said: "With the national crisis facing us, the most important thing is to defend Taizhou City. Everything else is trivial."
Huang Dajie was extremely grateful and said: "Thank you very much, Miss Cuiqiao, for your generosity. I, Huang Dajie, admire you very much."
Qiao'er smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you have complimented me, but I can't stay in Zuihua Brothel and be crowded in the same building with a large group of men. I hope you can move a small room in the county government office for me to stay."
After Huang Dajie heard this, he was stunned for a moment. His mind was working rapidly and he couldn't find the answer. He didn't know how to reply to her.
Ma Jun rushed to answer: "That's right, the young lady is a rich man, so of course she can't be crowded with the villagers."
Huang Dajie still hesitated to answer, thinking about the pros and cons.
Ma Jun saw the embarrassment on Huang Dajie's face and said anxiously: "Sir, Cuiqiao is a well-known woman from Jiangnan. Everyone knows that she does not sell her body but her art, so don't worry and let her stay here."
