All Hail Cousin Brother

Two million taels is definitely not enough.

There are millions of people in the six counties, providing care for the dead and wounded, food relief, medicines for disease treatment, post-disaster reconstruction, and disease prevention and control, etc., without five million taels.

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

Back at the Yuyu Courtyard, Yu Youyao immediately wrote a letter to Mother Yue, asking her to take her token and go to Zhejiang to collect all the grains and medicinal materials from the food and medicine stores in Jiangnan, as well as the food and medicinal materials in the medicine store. He was transferred to three counties of Ningbo, Shaoxing and Taizhou 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 and couldn't sleep all night.

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

The mansion was filled with mugwort, calamus, and Zhong Kui's statue, which was a lively scene.

Yu Youyao hung a multicolored silk woven sachet around her waist, wore a calamus sword, and tied a colorful cable on her arm. After breakfast, she went to Anshou Hall.

Mrs. Yu didn't sleep a night, her eyes were dark, and she had no spirit: "The emperor had arranged for a long time ago to go to the moat to invite dragons and sacrifice to the **** of water, so as to pray for good weather and good luck for the country and the people."

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

Mrs. Yu nodded: "Zhejiang is flooded, and the north is suffering from severe drought. At this time, the dragon boat race will be more solemn."

Yu Youyao couldn't tell for a while what she was feeling.

Dragon boat racing to pray for good weather is not wrong in itself.

But as long as I think of the floods in Zhejiang, the people are grief-stricken and displaced, but the capital is full of prosperity and peace, and the scene of dragon boat entertainment makes me feel uncomfortable.

Mrs. Yu waved her hand: "Today's dragon boat race, I won't go. I'm old, and I can't stand the noise, but my house is clean."

Yu Youyao didn't care anymore: "Since grandma won't go, neither of our family will go."

Madam Yu didn't reluctantly.

After returning to the Yu Yuyuan, Yu Youyao looked for Aunt Jiang, only to say that the old lady was a little unwell, so she did not go to the moat to watch the dragon boat race.

A good Dragon Boat Festival, passed in a deserted place.

The family didn't even hold a banquet, but only symbolically ate the zongzi, realgar wine, five poisonous cakes, etc., which were given by the palace, and it was considered a festival.

When it was dark, Yu Zongshen came over, his eyes were dark, and he hadn't slept all night last night.

"Not long ago, the palace got news that Xie's house shipped twenty ships of grain to Zhejiang. Zhejiang probably has no shortage of grain, but the matter after the early disaster is too huge."

Mrs. Yu sighed with emotion: "Xie's house is benevolent and righteous. It is not easy to raise these 20 boats of food. I think it was prepared early in the morning to provide food for the drought."

Yu Zongshen clenched the teacup tightly: "One Xie Mansion has almost solved half of the food shortage in Zhejiang. Besides, the Xie Mansion donated not only food, but also attitude. The world's business flow is guided by the Xie Mansion, and the rest of the food, as long as the government If you come out and get in touch with local merchants, you will be able to raise everything."

Mrs. Yu was relieved a lot, but sighed again: "The disaster relief has been settled, but the thousands of people who died due to the flood must have an explanation, and this matter has just begun..."

Yu Zong said solemnly: "Xia Ge is going to be an official."

Madam Yu was taken aback: "At this juncture?"

Yu Zongshen nodded: "The book has already been handed over, but the emperor did not say it. I think it will wait until the water sufferers in Zhejiang have the regulations."

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

Yu Zongshen: "It has been decided that I will be the first assistant."

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

The flood in Zhejiang will definitely affect the cabinet. It must have something to do with the elder Xia Ge. After all, it is the elder of the three dynasties. Even if the emperor is dissatisfied with him, it is impossible to really ask the guilt. .

And his career will also cause most of the Xia Party in the DPRK to lose power.

Things in Zhejiang are much easier to handle.

It is also convenient for the emperor.

It's just that on the Zhejiang side, there is still chaos. The second child takes over as the first assistant at this time, and the situation is also very difficult.

Yu Zongshen gave a "hmm".

Mrs. Yu sighed softly: "Changming'er, let your daughter-in-law block the side door from the west to the east, and you will not come to the big room in the future, and let your daughter-in-law honor some things every month. Since the family is separated If you have enough energy, you can take care of some clan members. I’m getting old. In the future, the rise and fall of this house and clan will be your own creations, and I have nothing to do with them. Gotta get involved."

Yu Zongshen did not speak.

Madam Yu thought of Xie again in a trance, and her face turned pale: "I was sorry for you back then, the Xie mansion helped the court to open the sea ban, the court rewarded the Xie mansion, and Rou Jia followed everyone from the Xie mansion to the capital. There was a banquet at home, and Xie's mansion was entertained. Rou Jia was bright and generous, and she was very close to me. Later, I had no objection, and found that you looked at Rou Jia in the eyes, so I made a marriage proposal with Mr. Xie."

Xie Fu did not agree at the time.

But he didn't refuse. The Yu mansion had only two brothers, and there were not a bunch of concubines and concubines. The backyard was also clean. There is no need to worry about Xie Mansion, because her daughter will be wronged when she enters Yu Mansion.

Under various considerations, Yu Mansion was indeed a good choice for Xie.

The second child is unaware.

Until the two parties exchanged Geng Tie, the second child knew the truth and had a big quarrel with her, but the matter had come to an end, and it was a done deal.

She tried Rou Jia at the time.

It was also found that Roujia and the second child did not have a private friendship, and it was completely the second child who was hot, thinking about this wishful feeling, how deep can it be?

Only then did it decide to assign Rou Jia to the boss.

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

Yu Zongshen suddenly put down the teacup, and the bottom of the cup slammed onto the table, making a noise. He stood up from the chair: "I'm tired, so I'll go back first."

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

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

"Old Madam..." Madam Liu was taken aback and hurriedly took the medicine and fed it to the old lady.

Mrs. Yu took the medicine, and tears rained down: "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 cold , in front of me, he didn't even mention Xie's, because he thought that anyone in Yufu who mentioned Xie's name could smear her name, including himself..."
