All Hail Cousin Brother

Chunxiao walked forward directly to Mrs. Zhang, bent down and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Auntie, Master Shao, please come forward and speak."

Mrs. Zhang suddenly raised her head, grabbed Chun Xiao's hand, and said with excitement, "Princess Princess, are you willing to help me?"

Chunxiao's eyelids twitched, and she had a bad premonition in her heart. She quickly said: "Don't be impatient. If you have any questions, I will meet with the princess later and talk to the princess..."

Who knew! She hasn't finished speaking yet!

Mrs. Zhang's face was full of sorrow and joy. She quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Princess Shaoyi in the car with a "bang bang bang" without any explanation. After a few blows, the blood on her forehead was broken: "A common woman kowtows thanks." The princess is so kind, the princess is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old..."

Chunxiao frowned slightly. The young lady did not explicitly say that she wanted to take care of Zhang's affairs. It was only because Zhang's family was involved with Youjun and it was in public that she couldn't ignore it, so she made the request. When I met Mrs. Zhang, I didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang was so ignorant that she deliberately shouted as if the princess really wanted to help her.

Isn't this a clear attempt to set a trap for the young lady and force her to do so?

really!

There were whispers from the crowd, all saying that Princess Shaoyi was a saintly, kind and benevolent person who did not want to see the people suffer or be wronged, and was like a living Bodhisattva.

"The princess is from the Yu family, and has inherited the benevolence, virtue, filial piety and righteousness of her ancestors, and has a legacy of loyalty and loyalty..."

"Old Madam Yu believed deeply in Buddhism and was known as a virtuous person. The imperial court granted her a memorial archway to teach virtue and cultivate virtue. She erected an archway to show her integrity. Princess Shaoyi grew up in front of the old lady, just like her grandmother. I have developed a bodhisattva heart..."

"Yes, yes, Princess Shaoyi has opened a charity hall since she was a child, taking in orphans and widows. She often gives out porridge and rice to help the people. Earlier when there was a flood in Zhejiang, Princess Shaoyi donated one million taels of silver to help the court provide relief to the victims... "

"Princess Shaoyi donated a sum of money in the name of her grandmother to relieve the drought in the north..."

"I also donated a batch of medicinal materials years ago..."

“Sweet potatoes ease drought in the north…”

"Everyone says that Princess Shaoyi is saintly, kind and benevolent, and she never sees the people suffering or being wronged. Now that I see her, she truly lives up to her reputation..."

"..."

Everyone was talking about the good deeds they had done, from the glorious ancestors of the Yu clan, to Mrs. Yu’s virtues and kindness, to Yu Youyi’s benevolence, and everything was detailed.

In just a moment, Yu Youyao's "Yishan" image was raised to a new level.

In the end, Yu Youyao was given the label of "not being able to see the people "suffering", "bearing injustice", and "doing justice for the people".

Yu Youyao listened for a while and got the clue.

The common people did not understand etiquette. In their view, Princess Shaoyi was from a big family. She was not only distinguished but also powerful. It was easy for her to help an ordinary peasant woman.

This kind of psychology is actually very easy to use.

He arranged for the poor Zhang to act in this scene and deliberately publicized the Yu family's glorious ancestral virtues, her grandmother's virtues and good deeds, and Princess Shaoyi's reputation as a "living Bodhisattva", instigating the people around her to join in the booing and making the people laugh. They mistakenly thought that she had promised to help Zhang.

In public, in full view of the public, she used the people to "coerce" her into intervening in Zhang's matter.

If she agreed to help, it would be true that the Yu family had a glorious ancestor and her grandmother taught good deeds. Her reputation for saintliness, kindness and benevolence was well-deserved.

If she refuses, the Yu family, her grandmother, and herself will be in vain.

People are not as good as a thousand days, flowers are not as red as a hundred days, jealousy arises from fame, and students are favored and slandered. Princess Shaoyi has so many good things, how can she be worth it? Seeing is believing?

What a good plan!

The nobles wanted to give her a blow, so Yu Youyao slightly curved the corners of her lips, and there was a gleam of coolness in her eyes.

At this time, Chunxiao had already led Ms. Zhang forward.

Mrs. Zhang was trembling. Just now, she only thought about making the matter bigger. Princess Shaoyi would definitely help her because of her "good reputation". But now, when she arrived in front of the princess, there was a gap between her and the princess. Through the curtain, one could see a shadowy figure inside, sitting high up, looking at her condescendingly.

The innate nobility and majesty made her feel ashamed and embarrassed, and she felt terrified in her heart. Her legs suddenly softened, and with a "plop", she knelt on the ground and trembled: "See, a civilian woman... I have seen Shaoyi County and Princess, the County and Princess are a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Yu Youyao said calmly: "I heard you were complaining just now. It seems that you are somehow involved with Youjun?"

Mrs. Zhang quickly replied: "The man who was the leader of the civilian women joined the army and died in the battle a few years ago. The civilian women could not survive, so they remarried..."

Yu Youyao interrupted her words and lamented: "My late husband died for the country and fulfilled the righteousness of the family and the country, but it hurt you, a woman, and you are pitiful." At this point, she changed the topic and asked: "I remember , the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty clearly stipulate that for those who die in battle, their families will be given rewards and pensions according to their merits and deeds. Didn’t the imperial court’s pensions go to you?”

Mrs. Zhang was a little confused and said subconsciously: "My late husband fought with King Zhou Li and made a lot of contributions. According to the regulations, he should be paid fifty-seven taels of pension. At that time, he was only paid five taels of silver, and the remaining fifty taels were owed." Twenty taels, it was said that they would be reissued after the war was over, but later..."

When Mr. Han Liu, who was standing in the box on the second floor, heard this, he felt something was wrong and frowned.

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment, and then asked after a long while: "When did your late husband die in battle?"

Zhang subconsciously replied: "At the end of autumn seven years ago..."

"No wonder," Yu Youyao sighed softly: "Shortly after the battle in late autumn, the Di people invaded the northern border aggressively, and used delaying tactics, which almost led to their collapse. Because the gentry did not want to assist in the war, they intended to flee with their belongings. As a result, the You army was short of supplies and food, resulting in heavy casualties in the north and successive defeats in the war."

When mentioning this incident, it is inevitable to mention the death of King Zhou Li.

Young Master Han Liu finally knew what was wrong.

Princess Shaoyi is trying to divert the disaster eastward.

Why did Mrs. Zhang remarry?

The bottom line is that life cannot go on.

Why can't life go on?

really!

Yu Youyao changed the subject and said: "In order to escape the blame, the northern gentry colluded with each other and charged King Zhou Li with treason. Later, King Zhou Li's family died tragically, and only the prince who was seriously injured on the battlefield escaped. Since then, After that, Changxing Marquis took charge of Youjun. Some of the rosters and account books of Youjun were damaged or lost due to various reasons. However, it was a pain to you, the families of the martyrs. The pension should be yours and you should be taken care of by Youjun. , in the end it was nothing. If not, why would life be so difficult?"

Mr. Han Liu in the box suddenly turned pale.

What a great move to divert misfortune to the east!
