Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 738: : Deep intention
The case of King Zhou Li two years ago caused rivers of blood in the Northland, so the Northland is still relatively stable. Small riots and unrest are inevitable, but riots like those in Zhejiang have not yet occurred.
But don’t those powerful officials who are vying for power know that every time disaster relief is delayed by a stick of incense, half an hour, an hour, or even a day, countless people will die due to famine and cold?
I definitely know.
I just don't care.
After seeing Aunt Shen off, Yu Youyao returned to Tiayuyuan tiredly.
Nanny Xu quickly brought hot medicine.
After Yu Youyao drank the medicine, her body became much warmer.
After resting for a while, Yin Huaixi heard the news and came over: "I am so brave that I dare to test the court blatantly."
Yu Youyao hugged the hand stove, her body warmed up, and she was a little sleepy: "It's not all to test the court. My grandmother left most of her private property to me. She also went to the Yamen to apply for a deed and kept the deposit. But these After decades of management, the industry was clearly separated from the Yu Mansion, but in terms of interests, it was constantly involved. Since he was determined to return to his mother's family, he took the opportunity to cut off all the interests involved. , to avoid trouble in the future."
After her grandmother passed away, she asked Zhou Yonghe to handle the matter.
Yin Huaixi nodded, seeing that she was not in good spirits, and felt heartache and pain. After struggling for several months, Yu Youyao was exhausted physically and mentally, and finally lost her health.
Therefore, he contracted the disease due to an unexpected winter cold. He had to go to Quanzhou and stay away from the worries of Beijing to slowly recover.
Yu Youyao sighed softly: "Grandma has always been concerned about the drought in the north. Donating one or two dollars in her name can be regarded as doing her best for her and accumulating her good deeds. Before her death, my grandmother did not mention the Yu Mansion or the clan. , but I know that she must still have some concerns in her heart, so she donated her property, and it was the Yu Mansion and the clan who gained fame and fortune, which can be regarded as a token of comfort."
She helped the clan build ancestral halls and expand clan studies, and she also had this consideration in mind.
Yin Huaixi shook her hand. It was still warm, but there was moisture in the palm. This is a symptom of labor and blood loss: "The old lady spent most of her life for the sake of the Yu Mansion and the clan. After her death, she also built a monument for the clan to benefit the clan members. She is probably most worried about you, and she hopes that the property in her name can bring you a more prosperous future."
Yu Youyao shook her head: "Grandma prepared a batch of dowry for me, a total of two hundred and sixty-four loads."
When marrying a daughter, although the larger the dowry, the better, there are certain regulations.
Two hundred and sixty-four lifts must have exceeded the regulations.
However, people who love their daughters will carry some things into the husband's house one day in advance, commonly known as "anjia". No matter how much they are, the remaining things will go into the husband's house with the daughter.
Yin Huaixi suddenly felt that he should prepare the betrothal gift earlier? !
Yu Youyao didn't know what he was thinking, so he continued: "Just a bed with thousands of works is already priceless. It uses the best agarwood and the best water. Agarwood does not sink in water. It needs It takes hundreds of years, or even longer, to make the material, so it is very rare, and most of it is used for medicine. My grandmother started collecting agarwood wood bit by bit from the time I was born, and found the most skillful craftsmen in Beijing. It took more than ten years, but it has not been completely completed."
According to the current completion progress, it is estimated that it will take another one or two years, just after she reaches the age of hairpin.
You can see the depth of intention.
Yin Huaixi understood clearly that when a wealthy family marries a daughter, only the sister who is particularly favored in the family will be given bedding as a dowry, and the dowry bedding is also very particular about the materials used. If it is not good, it will not be available. , the best are boxwood and agarwood, while rosewood, huanghuali, etc. are slightly inferior.
Not every family can afford a dowry with thousands of workers.
What's more, it's still agarwood.
The bed styles of the Zhou Dynasty include couches, Arhat beds, canopy beds, and Babu beds. Among them, the Qianbu Babu bed is a large bed with the most complicated craftsmanship.
It is a bed, and it is also a beautiful little house, also called the "eight-step bed". The bed house can walk up to eight steps.
A Thousand-Gong Babu Bed takes at least three to five years to complete, and can take up to ten years. The best Thousand-Gong Babu Bed takes more than ten years.
Everything is filled with Mrs. Yu’s caring heart!
Yin Huaixi sighed softly and couldn't blame her. Mrs. Yu had been gone for more than a month, and Yu Youyao still couldn't let go. She often dreamed about her grandmother at night, so much so that even her body suffered, but she took medicine and got better. Also very slow.
Yu Youyao said: "These are brought into the Jade Courtyard in the name of dowry. Whether it is the Yu Mansion or the clan, there is no need to use the dowry of my sister and son. After getting so many benefits, no matter how much you get, you will inevitably be greedy."
Yin Huaixi nodded: "Although that is the case, there are still a lot of people who can't see through it, and there are still a lot of people who can't see through it. They get temporary benefits, but they have endless troubles in the future."
For example, Mrs. Yu.
In those days, Yu Zongshen got the full support of the Xie Mansion and opened the sea ban. Mrs. Yu saw that the Xie Mansion had been commended by the court and was very wealthy, so she became greedy and tried to take advantage of it.
Yu Youyao seemed to have a close connection with him, and also thought of what her grandmother had done in the past: "When dealing with people, you should only stop when it is appropriate, and do not push for an inch. Even if you gain a foot, you must give it an inch. Both inches and feet are needed. It is inevitable that you will lose the meaning and the gain will not be worth the loss. ."
At this point, she felt that it was not easy to talk about the topic, so she changed her subject: "Now I want to return to my mother's clan. It is better to have one more thing to do than one less thing to do. Although the Yu clan values profits, it is also a ceremonial clan. It is easy to get together and disperse. For the sake of mutual affection and dignity, I went to the Xie Mansion. With such a big family like the Yu Mansion behind me, no matter who it was, I had to carefully consider it."
Yin Huaixi held Yu Youyao's hand tightly: "You took the opportunity to test the court's disaster relief. I think there should be a conclusion in the near future. Next, take good care of yourself."
The imperial court must provide disaster relief ~IndoMTL.com~ but when and how is a question.
Yu Youyao cares about the people, and as a female prostitute, she publicly donates to disaster relief in the name of her grandmother's loyalty and loyalty. This is equivalent to publicly punishing the disaster relief.
Yu Youyao was a little bit dazed, maybe she was drowsy not long after taking the medicine.
Yin Huaixi changed the subject: "Chang'an got a frame of fresh chestnuts. Chunxiao made a charcoal fire outside. I will burn the chestnuts for you."
Yu Youyao became interested and managed to cheer up: "Just two days ago, when Grandma Yue came into the house, she gave a few boxes of sweet potatoes and baked them together."
Sweet potatoes taste great no matter how you cook them.
Bake it and eat it, especially sweet and glutinous.
Yu Youyao likes it very much, but Mammy Xu thinks the sweet potatoes are bloating, so she is not allowed to eat more.
The two went to the outer room together. Although winter has entered in the north, the snow has not yet fallen, and it is not the coldest time.
