All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 645: Fundraising for Disaster Relief

After Eunuch Zhu has finished eating, after the tea is over!

Old Madam Yu said with a sad face: "Our family is so virtuous and capable. To be so loved by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, the old lady is both happy and terrified!"

This is to ask him about the holy will in a roundabout way.

After the imperial decree was announced, he didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat here and ate the snacks and snacks carefully prepared by the Yu Mansion. He said that eating people has a soft mouth. Didn't he just deliberately wait for the Yu Mansion to inquire?

Old Madam Yu not only has success, but also winks.

Eunuch Zhu lowered his eyes and smiled: "The Yu Mansion is loyal and strong, and the emperor sees it. After learning about the corrupt and absurd actions of the Rongjun mansion, the emperor was furious and asked the empress dowager how to deal with it." .”

When Mrs. Yu felt a "thump" in her heart, it was a bad premonition.

Yu Youyao was thoughtful.

Both internal and external wives are governed by the Empress and Empress Dowager. Whenever family members are involved, the emperor must ask first, and the empress or empress dowager will make a decision.

The male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside. The emperor is the king of a country, and it is not good to directly intervene in the affairs of women and children.

Eunuch Zhu continued: "The Empress Dowager praised County Lord Shaoyi for being gentle and benevolent. She opened the Taoist Hall at a very young age, and took care of many children with young parents, as well as lonely women and children. She has a female body, but she also has a benevolent heart to help the world, and her beauty is unmatched by many men."

Old Madam Yu clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, but her face was full of fear: "This, our family is so small, how dare we be the empress dowager, such praises, it's really frustrating..."

In Yu Youyao's heart, it was as if a stone was blocked, it was heavy, and there was a feeling of suffocation.

After Eunuch Zhu entered the Yu Mansion, he repeatedly emphasized the five words "goodness", "virtue", "loyalty", "filial piety" and "strength". Normally, this is the highest praise.

But at this moment, Yu Youyao felt as if she had been forcibly dismissed.

It is said that she has a big head and wears a big hat, but her head is small, the hat doesn't match, and it presses her neck when she wears it.

Eunuch Zhu smiled: "The old ancestor is humble. The Empress Dowager is such an old man, and not everyone can be praised by her like this." Speaking of this, he had a slightly weird expression: "The Empress Dowager just said, Shaoyi County Master His virtue is the merit of the emperor's benevolent governance, and it is the fortune of the country, which needs praise and encouragement, and should not be wronged."

The implication is that Yu Zong is the emperor's courtier, and Yu Youyao is the daughter of the courtier. She has such benevolence and virtue, which is also the emperor's virtue.

Yu Youyao is one of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the people she rescued were all people under the emperor's rule.

It is also the good fortune of the community.

Logically speaking, this is indeed true.

But these words were too serious, Mrs. Yu looked terrified, and murmured, not even daring to say more.

With the words of the Empress Dowager, the Royal Palace of Rongjun was seized and expelled, and there was also the gift and reward of the granddaughter today.

The Yu Mansion would like to express its gratitude to the Empress Dowager and Emperor Mingde.

How do you feel about this "feeling"?

What price will the Yu family and even the granddaughter have to pay?

Yu Youyao lowered her head. She never expected that a "Yaoxin Hall" could rise to the level of the emperor's benevolent governance and the country's community. This is wearing a high hat forever, and she is going to be roasted on the fire? !

There are a lot of corners and corners, and it seems that there is a big picture in the palace.

Yu Youyao could probably guess what the picture was, but she didn't know anything about the calculations in the palace.

When Eunuch Zhu said this, he paused for a moment, glanced at the frightened old lady Yu, and then glanced at Yu Youyao, the county lord of Shaoyi who stood aside with his head bowed.

The little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old has only just had flower bones, her figure is very thin, but not thin, she is really soft, light and thin.

Even with his head down, he could still see her, his brows furrowed slightly, his complexion pale and haggard.

Thinking about the day when I came to Rongjun Palace, I was also scared.

Inside the room, there was a sudden silence.

An uneasy breath flows slowly...

Yu Zongshen's face was calm, holding a teacup, he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the other hand, Yu Zongzheng, who had just listened vigorously, Eunuch Zhu suddenly paused, inevitably a little impatient.

He opened his mouth, wanting to continue to inquire, but when he thought that Eunuch Zhu was a celebrity around the emperor, he was willing to give face to his mother, but he might not give face to him.

After Eunuch Zhu put down his teacup and raised his eyes, he said: "Since the beginning of March, there have been droughts of varying degrees from all over the country. Although the harem is not allowed to do politics, it also wants to share the emperor's worries, do its best for the community, and do its best for the people."

coming! Yu Youyao pursed her lips lightly.

Madam Yu hurriedly said, "The empress dowager is kind."

Eunuch Zhu smiled: "When it comes to charity, you don't give up too much, my ancestor. It is because of your kind grandmother that you have educated County Lord Shaoyi to do good deeds and virtues." Said: "The empress dowager is going to raise donations among the women inside and outside, and raise money for disaster relief. Even if it is a drop in the bucket, it is also a rare act of kindness."

Speaking of this, is there anything else Yu Youyao doesn't understand?

It is not a new thing to raise money. The empress dowager worshiped the Buddha. In the early years, the wives raised money to pray for the empress dowager to build a pagoda. Whenever there is a flood or drought, it is inevitable to raise money. Donate more. Less, there is no hard and fast rule, it all depends on how much you can get.

The empress dowager wanted to raise money, no matter if it was a concubine, or a married woman inside or outside, she would naturally respond to everyone.

But the treasury is empty, the Empress Dowager launched a fundraising campaign to raise money for disaster relief, it is not a small matter, it is really sharing the worries of the court, naturally, the more the better.

but!

More or less money is in your own hands, and it is impossible for the empress dowager to stipulate how much women should donate. Who would like to live alone and donate large sums of money to others?

In this way, it is necessary for an early bird to stand up and "top" support.

They are all family members of court officials, and there are comparisons with each other. The first person donates more, and the latter donate too little.

However, except for Yu Fu, who wants to be an "early bird".

She, the county magistrate of Shaoyi who has been praised by the queen mother and praised by the emperor, still needs to be grateful for the great kindness of the emperor.

Not only does she want to donate, she also wants to donate a lot!

Therefore, she, the owner of Shaoyi County, actually needs money to "buy".

Mrs. Yu had a prediction early in the morning, and she hurriedly said: "The empress dowager's heart is for all people, and it is a blessing for the world. As the saying goes, those who protect the world are the ones who are cheap, and have no responsibility. The empress dowager is the head of the world. Fan, although the old woman does not have the virtues of the empress dowager, she still has the heart of virtue."
