All Hail Cousin Brother

The latest website: The mother and daughter are exactly the same, one is delicate and beautiful, the other is delicate, they are both bright and eye-catching, like starlight shining brightly, like moonlight shining brightly, and like the sun shining brightly.

Compared with others, it is inevitable that they will fall behind.

It's not that he is inferior in appearance, but that the county master Shaoyi has a light on his body, which shines on others and on himself.

Yu Youyao got up quickly, and gave a blessing to Concubine Lan: "The posture of Puliu, my servant, thank you for your praise."

If it weren't for the Yu Mansion and Ningyuan Bo's Mansion, there had been a quarrel early in the morning, such a beautiful woman, it would be great to be matched with the second emperor, the Empress Lan felt sorry, but she didn't show any trace on her face, and said with a smile: "Master Shaoyi You don't need to be too polite, just sit down, or the Empress Dowager will blame this concubine for worrying about her old man's pampered guest."

Yu Youyao thanked her and sat back in Jinwu.

Concubine Lan glanced at Princess Liyang, then she misread her eyes, and took a brocade box from the hand of the palace lady: "The empress dowager wants to raise money for disaster relief, and the concubines are also willing to share the emperor's worries and problems."

Aunt Shen took it with a smile.

Yu Youyao noticed that Concubine Lan glanced at Princess Liyang with indifference and indifference, unlike a concubine's attitude towards the first princess.

She took the teacup casually, and by drinking the tea as a cover, she glanced at Princess Liyang from the corner of her eyes. When Princess Liyang looked at Concubine Lan, her smile was slightly restrained.

"You have a heart." Even if she doesn't like Concubine Lan's publicity, the Empress Dowager has to admit that Concubine Lan is a smart person who understands the general situation.

The emperor's actions are so big, and Yufu is not a fool. Concubine Lan picked Mrs. Yu and took Shaoyi county master into the palace to thank her. It's really raising money, and it's not that it's targeting the Yu family, even the palace is doing its part.

In this way, the palace's calculations can be counted.

Concubine Lan took advantage of the opportunity to mention the floods in Zhejiang, and the adults in the house had to join in. After talking about the floods, it was inevitable to mention the drought in the north.

That said, there is more to talk about.

Until three quarters past noon, the Empress Dowager showed a tired look on her face.

Only then did Empress Lan know how to retire.

Madam Yu didn't stay long either.

The Empress Dowager said: "It's getting late, and the Ai family is exhausted. The old lady and the county master Shaoyi, go to the side hall to rest for a while, and then stay in the palace for lunch."

Mrs. Yu and Yu Youyao hurriedly thanked each other.

Back in the inner room, the empress dowager first opened the Jinhe presented by Mrs. Yu, inside was a stack of banknotes, and she also prepared a booklet, which indicated the ticket number and amount of the stack of banknotes. A total of one hundred thousand taels.

Mrs. Yu is donating money on behalf of the big house of the Yu Mansion, and one hundred thousand taels is beyond her expectations.

In the past, the collection of silver in the palace all depended on how much each family was willing to take. Those from weaker families had tens to hundreds of taels, and those from wealthier families had hundreds to thousands of taels, but there were only a handful of those with more than five thousand taels.

The Empress Dowager sighed softly: "It's not easy for Mrs. Yu these years. She paid out one hundred thousand taels at once, except that she eats vegetarian food, recites Buddha, and worships Bodhisattvas. She wants to be more of a Bodhisattva, and there is also a reason for the emperor's great kindness. Tao got rid of the family fortune."

Aunt Shen also said: "Madam Yu is kind and kind."

The Empress Dowager originally predicted that the Yu Mansion's 50,000 taels would be worthy of the emperor's grace.

It is impossible to rely on fundraising for disaster relief.

Comparing with this number, the various families in Beijing are more or less summed up, which is also a considerable amount. The disaster relief is not enough, at least it can solve the urgent need.

Now it has far exceeded this number, which shows that the Yu Mansion really has a heart.

The Empress Dowager opened the box of County Master Shaoyi, took the brochure, and was stunned for a while.

Aunt Shen glanced at it, her breath tightened.

The empress dowager closed the booklet and put it in a box: "Now I think it's a little too thin for the emperor to confer the title of Miss Yu Shaoyi as the county lord. As far as she understands the righteousness, it's enough to be a county lord," she said. Handed the box to Aunt Shen, and said in a low voice: "Take it to the imperial study and give it to the emperor." She hesitated for a moment, and added: "The Yu family lives up to its loyalty and integrity, and there will be more in the future." Be kind to me."

A total of one million taels, and the palace is well aware of the property under the name of Shaoyi county lord, this one million taels is nearly half of the profits of all the shops under her name for ten years or more.

Being willing to spend such a large amount of money, apart from the mighty kindness of the emperor, I am afraid that, like Mrs. Yu, he has cultivated the heart of a bodhisattva.

Aunt Shen held the box and walked all the way to the imperial study.

Eunuch Zhu rushed up to greet him, glanced at the brocade box, and said with a smile: "Aunt Shen is here. The emperor just finished processing the memorial and is suffering from a headache. Who should be sent to Zhejiang for disaster relief? Please come in quickly."

Aunt Shen lowered her head to look at the brocade box in her hand, she felt a little clear in her heart, she smiled and entered the imperial study with Eunuch Zhu.

The emperor's face was pale and gray, but his cheeks were flushed abnormally. It was obvious that he had just taken the elixir. Aunt Shen handed the brocade box to Eunuch Zhu, and told Mrs. Yu and County Master Shaoyi that they had entered the palace to thank you. Some words, and then said: "Praise the Empress Dowager, the Yu Mansion is worthy of loyalty and integrity, and Shaoyi is worthy of the emperor's grace."

She doesn't need to say more about the rest, the emperor should understand.

Eunuch Zhu presented the brocade box.

The emperor smiled: "The Yu family is loyal to the emperor and serves the emperor's loyalty, and I will naturally impress it."

When Aunt Shen got the word, she retired.

The imperial study room became quiet, the emperor opened the brocade box, and when he saw the number inside, he showed a satisfied expression, but there was an unfathomable light in his cloudy eyes.

The emperor looked at the box for a long time, then closed the box, and said inexplicably, "Even a young lady who has not left the cabinet is richer than me, tell me," he stared at Eunuch Zhu with a gloomy gaze. He paused and asked, "Isn't this emperor a failure?"

Eunuch Zhu knelt down on the ground with a plop, and his shirt was soaked in sweat in an instant: "The emperor's benevolent governance is meritorious, so the masters of the Yu Mansion and Shaoyi County donated their wealth to share the worries and problems of the emperor." When he said this, his teeth chattered Come on, the voice is trembling: "Yes, there are some people who don't think of the king's kindness, deceive the king, and fill their own pockets..."

In the past, there was the capital of Zhejiang who was greedy for the ink army, and later the Ministry of Industry joined forces to supervise the river, and Zhejiang officials were greedy for the money for the river repair. The money accumulated year by year is a huge amount.

Eunuch Zhu lowered his eyes.

With contrast, the loyalty of the Yu Mansion can be highlighted.

really!

As soon as the emperor mentioned this, he sneered: "Yes, there are loyal and upright ministers like the Yu Mansion in the court, and there are also blood-sucking leeches." When he said this, his face suddenly became dark and cruel: "I think the sky is high." If the emperor is far away, I can't cure them, how much I swallowed in the past, now I have to spit it out with profit!"

Eunuch Zhu lowered his head a little more, not daring to breathe anymore.
