All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter six hundred and fifty eight: Retirement

Latest URL: Two million taels is definitely not enough.

There are millions of people in the six counties, paying for the dead and wounded, providing food relief, medicine for treatment, post-disaster reconstruction, prevention and control of diseases, etc., and five million taels will not work.

The most frightening thing is that far more than six counties were affected.

After returning to Yaoyuyuan, Yu Youyao immediately wrote a letter to Yuemao, asking Yuemao to take her token and go to Zhejiang to collect all the food and medicinal materials she had in the pharmacy in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the doctor in the pharmacy. They were transferred to Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Taizhou counties to fully assist Ye Hanyuan in fighting the disaster and saving the people.

That's all she can do.

That night, Yu Youyao tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.

On the second day, it was the Dragon Boat Festival.

In the mansion, moxa was planted, calamus was hung, Zhong Kui's portrait was pasted up, etc. It was a lively scene.

Yu Youyao wore a multicolored silk woven sachet on her waist, a calamus sword, and colorful ropes on her arms. After breakfast, she went to the Anshou Hall.

Old Madam Yu also didn't close her eyes all night, her eyes were black and her eyes were dark, she was not energetic: "The emperor arranged a dharma ride early in the morning to go to the moat to invite dragons and sacrifice to the water god, in order to pray for good weather and peace of the country and people."

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment: "Today's dragon boat race will still be held as usual?"

Madam Yu nodded: "Floods in Zhejiang and severe drought in the north, the more grand the dragon boat race will be at this time."

For a moment, Yu Youyao couldn't tell exactly what mood she was in.

It is also true that dragon boat races pray for good weather.

But as soon as I think of the floods in Zhejiang, the people are mourned and displaced, but Beijing is full of prosperity and peace, and the scene of dragon boats and joy, I feel uncomfortable.

Madam Yu waved her hand: "I won't go to the dragon boat race today. I'm old and I can't bear the noise, but my house is clean."

Yu Youyao lost her mind: "Since grandma won't go, our family won't go either."

Madam Yu didn't force it either.

After returning to Yaoyu Courtyard, Yu Youyao went to find Aunt Jiang,

Just saying that the old lady is not feeling well, so she won't go to the moat to watch the dragon boat race.

It was a good Dragon Boat Festival, and it was deserted.

The family didn't even hold a banquet, but just ate the zongzi, realgar wine, five-du cakes, etc. that were rewarded by the palace as symbols, which was considered a festival.

When it was dark, Yu Zongshen came over, his eyes were black and black, he didn't sleep all night last night, and he heard the calculations of the household department all night.

"Not long ago, the palace got news that the Xie Mansion shipped 20 shipments of grain and shipped it to Zhejiang. There is probably no shortage of grain in Zhejiang, but the post-disaster matters are too complicated."

Old Madam Yu sighed with emotion: "The Xie family is benevolent. It is not easy to raise these twenty boatloads of food. I think it was prepared early in the morning to relieve the drought."

Yu Zongshen clenched his teacup tightly: "One Xie Mansion almost solved half of the food shortage in Zhejiang. Besides, what the Xie Mansion donated was not only the food, but also the attitude. The world's business flow follows the lead of the Xie Mansion. The remaining food can only be provided by the government. Get in touch with local merchants, and you will be able to raise funds."

Madam Yu was relieved a lot, but she sighed again: "The disaster relief has been settled, but there should be an explanation for the tens of thousands of people who died due to the flood, and this matter has only just begun..."

Yu Zongshen said: "Xia Ge is about to retire."

Madam Yu was startled suddenly: "At this juncture?"

Yu Zongshen nodded: "The booklet has already been handed in, but the emperor didn't say anything. I think it will wait until the water sufferers in Zhejiang get the regulations."

Madam Yu didn't know what to say: "Then you..."

Yu Zongshen: "It's been decided, and I will succeed you as Chief Assistant."

Madam Yu was not happy: "The first assistant has also become a hot potato."

The Zhejiang flood incident must have affected the cabinet, and it must have something to do with the elder Xia Ge. After all, he is the elder of the three dynasties. No matter how dissatisfied the emperor is with him, he will not be able to really ask the crime. .

And his resignation will also cause most of the Xia party in the court to lose power.

Things in Zhejiang are much easier to handle.

It is also convenient for the emperor.

It's just that Zhejiang is still in chaos, and the second child is taking over as the chief assistant at this time, and the situation is also very difficult.

Yu Zongshen let out a "hmm".

Old Madam Yu sighed softly: "Gaiminger, let your wife block the side door from the west mansion to the east mansion, and you will come to the big house less in the future, and let your wife give some filial piety every month. Since the family is separated I'm old, and the prosperity and disgrace of this family and the clan in the future are all made by you, and I have nothing to do with it. It has to do."

Yu Zongshen didn't speak.

Madam Yu thought of the Xie family again in a daze, her face turned gray for a while: "I was the one who was sorry for you. There was a banquet at home to entertain the Xie family, Rou Jia was bright and generous, and I was very close to me, later I had no objection, and when I saw the way you looked at Rou Jia, by accident, I proposed marriage to Mr. Xie."

Xie Fu did not agree at the time.

But he didn't refuse all of them, Yu Mansion has only two brothers, and there are not a lot of brothers and sisters, and the backyard is also clean. The eldest brother has just entered the court, and he still has a bit of character, because of the support of Xie Mansion and Yu Mansion. Because of her love, Xie's mansion doesn't have to worry, her daughter will be wronged if she enters Yu's mansion.

Under various considerations, the Yu Mansion is indeed a good choice for the Xie family.

The second child is ignorant.

Until the two sides exchanged Geng Tie, the second child knew the truth and had a big fight with her, but the matter was over and it was a done deal.

She had tried Rou Jia at that time.

It is also discovered that Rou Jia and the second child do not have a private friendship, it is all because the second child is hot, just thinking about how deep this wishful feeling can be?

Then it was decided to assign Rou Jia to the boss.

On the other hand, I was also worried that Roujia would get married, and the second child would not give up. If Roujia became a brother-in-law, the second child would probably not forget it.

Yu Zongshen put down the teacup suddenly, the bottom of the cup thumped and hit the table with a loud noise, he stood up from the chair: "I'm tired, so I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Yu to speak, the person has already strode outside.

Madam Yu's head went dizzy, and she fell limply on the couch, gasping for breath.

"Old madam..." Mother Liu was startled, and quickly took the medicine, and fed it to the old madam.

Mrs. Yu took the medicine and burst into tears: "He hates me. Even if I die, he will not forgive me. He has played a good son, a good husband, and a good father all these years, but his heart is so cold. In front of me, he didn't even want to mention Mrs. Xie because he thought that anyone in the Yu Mansion could dirty her name by mentioning one more word Mrs. Xie, including himself..."
