Liu Pan'er smiled and looked at Li Rong approvingly, "Ah Rong, I'm really happy. You didn't listen to me, but you questioned me. With your own thinking, I'm rest assured that you can marry into the royal family in the future.

Already."

Li Rong was stunned and her face turned slightly red, "Mom, were you testing me just now?"

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Yes, congratulations, you passed the test. You discovered that there was a problem with my proposal, you looked for the problem, and you also verified it on a small scale."

"If it works, proceed; if it doesn't, stop. This is a very stable style."

Li Rong smiled, "My mother taught me well."

Two days later, various ice lanterns were carved, but it was too cold, so I kept them for later at home.

After Liu Pan'er and Li Rong put their minds together, they decided to cancel the plan and change it to an indoor party.

Anyone who makes a donation is invited.

Not only that, Liu Pan'er also ordered people to carve the donor's donation amount on a stone tablet and place it in the Jixiang Library.

The Ninth Princess got Liu Pan'er's invitation, smiled slightly, and said to Gu Shao next to her: "It's hard for sister Pan'er. She doesn't like ineffective communication, so she started to entertain guests."

Gu Shao picked up the teacup, smiled, and took a few sips, "Mrs. De Rui has worked hard and tried her best to let the children of ordinary people learn more."

The Ninth Princess smiled and said, "Then I also want to support Sister Pan'er. How much do you think we should pay?"

Gu Shao thought for a while, "It's fine as long as the princess makes the decision. It depends more or less on her heart."

"In the future, as long as the family has enough money, it is okay to donate some every year."

The Ninth Princess agreed, "My husband is saying that money is no longer important to us. If we can help more people, it will be a merit."

"Sister Pan'er told me before that she asked me to go to the library to help. At that time, I needed to take care of my children. Now that my children are with sister Pan'er's children, I want to go."

"Husband, what do you think? Should I go or not?"

Gu Shao smiled and said, "Madam, if you want to go, you can go. If you don't want to go, don't go."

"Then don't you think it's embarrassing for me to show up in public?" Ninth Princess asked, worried that her husband would not be willing.

Gu Shao shrugged, "If a woman goes out to do serious things, why can't she show her face? When it comes to showing her face, who has Mrs. De Rui cared about? Who in the capital now dares to say a bad word about Mrs. De Rui?"

The Ninth Princess was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "What your husband said is that I am narrow-minded. I work in the library to help cultivate more outstanding talents for Dazhou."

Gu Shao nodded and agreed with the Ninth Princess, "Originally, we are all human beings. In fact, men and women are the same. It's just that this system means that men are outside and women are at home, so they cannot be officials. This does not mean that women are incompetent."

"Madam, as long as you like it, you can do it. Maybe you can learn how to teach our children by working in the library, which is also a good thing."

Princess Ninth smiled, "Yes, I think so too. Being at home all day with nothing to do is very boring."

"Every day I see sister Pan'er busy with her work and full of energy, which makes me envious. Now that I can do it, I will do it well."

"Yes, the princess is also very capable and will definitely do well." Gu Shao praised, "If a person like General Li supports Mrs. De Rui, then I will support you too."

The Ninth Princess held Gu Shao's arm and said softly: "My husband is so kind."

On the day of the banquet, Princess Ninth, Li Li, and several familiar family members arrived to help greet the guests.

These ladies and ladies did not expect that the donation would really be effective, and they became even more interested.

Prepare carefully and come to the banquet.

Married young women are given to the new daughter-in-law Qi Shuyuan to entertain; unmarried girls are given to Li Rong and Li Nan to entertain.

The lady was entertained by Liu Pan'er, Ninth Princess, and Mrs. Qi San.

Today there are only ladies and ladies, there are no male guests, so it is more casual.

At the beginning of the banquet, Liu Pan'er stood up and thanked everyone, "You ladies are kind enough to donate so much money to support outstanding and poor students in studying and studying."

"I am here to thank you all. When the school building is completed and the school starts next year, I will invite all the ladies to visit the library."

Everyone stood up one after another. Although some were younger than Liu Pan'er, Liu Pan'er was a first-class official, so they should also stand up and reply.

"Madam, we used to do good deeds by giving out porridge. Mrs. De Rui promoted the improved seeds and Tiangonghou improved the farm tools. Now the people live and work in peace and contentment and have enough to eat, so there is no need to give out porridge."

"We want to do something good, but we don't have a place to do it. It's an honor for me to be able to provide you with such an opportunity." A talkative lady said with a smile, very supportive of the donation.

Liu Pan'er sighed, "Madam, De Rui admires your righteousness."

After complimenting each other for a while, they each took their seats.

After dinner, Liu Paner took everyone to the garden behind to enjoy plum blossoms.

At this time, Liu Pan'er tried her best to remember everyone so that she could recognize each other the next time she saw them.

These people saw Mrs. Derry's cheerful behavior and highly praised her.

This banquet was very successful.

Liu Paner appeared in the mouths of various ladies in a very high profile, but received mixed reviews.

Some people think Liu Pan'er pays attention to education and is worthy of praise.

Some people think Liu Paner is blinded by money.

I didn't want to make friends before, but now I entertain guests for the sake of money.

There are more and more such rumors, and they even reached Qi Shuyuan.

After Qi Shuyuan came back from outside, she said angrily, "Ah Rong, mother did this not to make money for herself, but for the library."

"The money was also voluntarily donated by the ladies, and it was all used for the library. They said that my mother was so jealous when she saw the money, she was really angry."

Li Rong was very angry after hearing this, "These people just follow what they say and don't understand the truth at all."

"Does our family still need to make money through this method? Of course not. After all, some people think that my mother is just trying to gain fame."

Qi Shuyuan nodded and pouted, "Anyway, I just feel that these people just don't want to see others being good or outstanding."

The aunt and sister-in-law came to the main courtyard and felt heartbroken when they saw Liu Pan'er busy.

The two of them were unhappy, and Liu Pan'er asked curiously: "What's wrong? Are you being angry outside?"

"I'm not angry, it's just that my sister-in-law and I were unhappy when we heard rumors about my mother outside." Li Rong replied and walked to her mother's side.

Liu Paner burst into laughter, "Are you unhappy because of this?"

"Yeah." Qi Shuyuan nodded, "It's so annoying. It's obvious that my mother is not that kind of person."

Liu Pan'er touched the heads of his daughter-in-law and daughter, "Remember, anything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. I am too good, so I will naturally make people jealous."

"But these are irrelevant. The merits and demerits will be judged by future generations."

"To put it plainly, I am not rich in silver or gold, so it is impossible for everyone to like me."

"Relax in the future and don't worry about these things. Although I am very happy that you are worried about me for me, I also hope that you will use your energy in worthwhile places instead of using it on these chores."

Qi Shuyuan nodded, "I understand, mother."

Li Rong also agreed.

These rumors about the capital not only did not stop, but became more and more numerous.

Li Rong couldn't sit still and ordered an investigation.
