All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 666: Concubine Lan

The mother and daughter are exactly the same, one is delicate and the other is delicate, they are both bright and bright, like the starlight shining brightly, the moonlight shining brightly, and the sun shining brightly.

Compared with others, it is inevitable that they will be inferior.

It's not that he looks inferior to others, but that the head of Shaoyi County has light on his body, which illuminates others and illuminates himself.

Yu Youyao hurriedly got up and gave a blessing to the concubine Lan: "My servant girl Pu Liu, thank you for your praise."

If it weren't for the feud between Yu Mansion and Uncle Ning Yuan's Mansion, such a beautiful woman would be a perfect match for the second emperor. Concubine Lan felt regretful in her heart, but there was no trace on her face, and said with a smile, "Shaoyi County Lord. Don't be too polite, just sit down, or the Empress Dowager will blame Concubine Ben for worrying about her old man's coquettish guest."

Yu Youyao thanked and sat back to Jintao.

Concubine Lan glanced at Princess Liyang, then she got the wrong eye, and took a brocade box from the palace maid: "The Empress Dowager wants to raise silver for disaster relief, and the concubines also have the heart to help the emperor."

Aunt Shen took it with a smile.

Yu Youyao noticed that Concubine Lan glanced over Princess Liyang's eyes, cold and indifferent, unlike a palace concubine who treated the princess directly.

She held the teacup in her hand, and by drinking tea to cover it up, she squinted at Princess Liyang from the corner of her eyes. When Princess Liyang looked at Empress Lan Fei, her smile narrowed slightly.

"You have a heart." Even if she didn't like Concubine Lan's publicity, the Empress Dowager had to admit that Concubine Lan was a smart and general person.

The emperor's actions were such a big move, and Yu Mansion was not a fool. Concubine Lan chose Mrs. Yu to bring the Shaoyi County Lord into the palace to express her gratitude, and specially came to send disaster relief silver. It was the real money-raising, not staring at the Yufu family, and even the palace did its part.

In this way, the calculation in the palace is also calculated.

Concubine Lan took advantage of the situation to mention the flood in Zhejiang, and a few adults in the house had to cooperate. After talking about the flood, it was inevitable to mention the drought in the north.

That said, there is more to say.

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

Only then did Concubine Lan retires.

Mrs. Yu didn't stay long either.

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

Madam Yu and Yu Youyao quickly thanked them.

Back in the inner room, the Empress Dowager first opened the brocade presented by Mrs. Yu, which contained a stack of banknotes, and prepared a booklet. The booklet marked the ticket number and amount of the stack of banknotes. One hundred thousand in total.

Mrs. Yu donated silver on behalf of the big house of Yu Mansion, and 100,000 taels was beyond her expectations.

From the former palace, it all depends on how much each family is willing to take. There are dozens or hundreds of taels from thin families, hundreds of taels from wealthy families, and only a handful of people with more than 5,000 taels.

The Empress Dowager sighed softly: "Lao Madam Yu has not been easy for these years, and she sold 100,000 taels at once, except that she ate fast food and chanted Buddha, worshipped the Bodhisattva, wanted to give more of the bodhisattva's heart, and there was also a reason for the great grace of the emperor. Tao has messed with the family."

Aunt Shen also said, "Old Madam Yu is kind and kind."

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

It is impossible to rely on raising money for disaster relief.

All the families in the capital, compared with this number, it is also a considerable sum. Disaster relief is not enough, at least it can solve the urgent need.

Now that it has far exceeded this number, it can be seen that Yufu is really interested.

The Empress Dowager opened the box of the county head of Shaoyi, took the booklet, and was stunned for a long time.

Aunt Shen glanced at it and breathed tightly.

The Empress Dowager closed the booklet and put it in the box: "Now I feel that it is still a little thin that the emperor has sealed Miss Yu as the county head of Shaoyi. For this profound sense of righteousness, it is enough to seal the county head," she said. She handed the box to Aunt Shen, and said in a low voice, "Take it to the imperial study and give it to the emperor." Having said this, she hesitated for a while, and added: "The Yu residence lives up to its loyalty and integrity, and there will be more in the future. Be kind."

For a full one million taels, the palace also knew all about the properties under the name of the Shaoyi county lord. The one million taels was nearly half of the profits of all the shops under her name for ten years or more.

Being willing to spend such a large sum of money, in addition to the great grace of the emperor, I am afraid that, like Mrs. Yu, she has raised the heart of a bodhisattva.

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

Eunuch Zhu hurried up to meet him, glanced at the brocade box, and smiled: "Aunt Shen is here. The emperor has just finished processing the memorial and is having a headache. Who should be sent to Zhejiang for disaster relief, please come in."

Aunt Shen looked down at the brocade box she was holding in her hands, she understood it a little, and entered the imperial study with Eunuch Zhu with a smile.

The emperor's face was blue and gray, but his cheeks showed abnormal flushing. It was obviously not long after taking the medicinal pill, Aunt Shen handed the brocade box to Eunuch Zhu, and relayed that Mrs. Yu and the Lord of Shaoyi County entered the palace to express their gratitude. After a few words, he added: "The Empress Dowager praised that Yufu lived up to its loyalty and integrity, and Shaoyi's master lived up to the mighty grace of the emperor."

There is no need for her to say the rest, the emperor should understand.

Eunuch Zhu presented the brocade box.

The emperor smiled: "Yu Fu's loyalty to the monarch is the loyalty of the monarch, and I will naturally engrave it."

When Aunt Shen got the word, she retired.

The imperial study was 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 the turbid eyes.

The emperor looked at the box for a long time, then closed the box, and said inexplicably: "Even a young lady in the inner house who has not left the cabinet is richer than me, you say," he stared at Eunuch Zhu with grey eyes. After a while, he asked: "Is this emperor, is it a failure?"

Eunuch Zhu knelt down to the ground with a thud, and his shirt was soaked with sweat in an instant: "The emperor is benevolent and meritorious, so the ruler of Yufu and Shaoyi County gave up his family's wealth to share his worries and solve problems for the emperor." Speaking of this, he even rattled his teeth and trembled. Come, his voice trembled: "Yes, there are some people who don't think about Jun's kindness, deceive Jun, and fill their own pockets..."

In the past, there was the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry in cooperation with the Ministry of Industry, the supervisor of the river, and the officials of Zhejiang Province who were greedy for the money to repair the ink.

Zhu Gonggong lowered his eyes.

Only with comparison can the loyalty of Yufu be highlighted.

really!

When the emperor mentioned this, he sneered: "Yeah, there are loyal and loyal officials like Yufu in the court, and there are also blood-sucking leeches." Speaking of this, his face suddenly turned grim: "I think the sky is high. The emperor is far away, I can't cure them, how much I have swallowed in the past, and now I have to spit it out with profit!"

Eunuch Zhu lowered his head again, and he didn't dare to breathe anymore.
