Chapter 228: Ancestor Worship (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Rewards, Asking for Monthly Tickets, Asking for Recommendations)
Dong Ruyi looked at the two big girls who had been following her and taking care of her. "In the future, I will not treat you badly." As for who you are, don't worry, but if you are not worthy of you or you are unwilling, you will not be reluctant. ”
Xianglan and Xiangju knelt down and said, "Miss Xie." "They are all unwilling to marry casually, and they are even more unwilling to be concubines, and today with Dong Ruyi's words, they are like taking a reassuring pill.
Xianglan said: "The slave is willing to stay with the young lady all the time, as long as the young lady does not dislike the appearance of the slave and the maid." ”
Dong Ruyi said: "Don't mention your appearance in the future, I think you look very good, at least I look comfortable every day." ”
Xianglan snorted and laughed, indeed, none of the girls around Dong Ruyi were ugly.
This is Dong Ruyi's only request, and Zhou's mother also did it.
In the eyes of Zhou's mother, no one can compare to Dong Ruyi.
Hanxiang's voice came from outside, "Miss, the slave Hanxiang has sent a message." ”
Xiangju and Xianglan got up at the same time, and Xianglan opened the curtain and said, "Come in." ”
Han Xiang first saluted, and then said happily: "The government came to the news that the master has disembarked in Zhenjiang and has been safe all the way." ”
Dong Ruyi exclaimed: "So fast?"
Han Xiang said: "It is said that the master met the official messenger who delivered the decree, so he followed the official ship all the way from the other side of the canal, and the official messenger was afraid that they would arrive, and then the main owner who received the decree would not arrive." ”
Dong Ruyi smiled: "It's not, I'm just afraid that my father and mother are tired." ”
Han Xiang said: "Mother Xu also said so, she said that although the in-laws will keep people here, we still have to prepare to come out." After all, the county lord's mansion has not yet been built. ”
Dong Ruyi said: "Mother Xu is right, both sides are ready, I'm afraid the county lord's mansion won't be able to catch up." Xiangju, let Xing'er go to the eldest uncle's side to say, if it's too late for the county lord's tomb, the county lord's mansion can stop first. ”
Xiangju curtsied and said, "The slave will arrange it." ”
Dong Ruyi said happily: "People have already said Zhenjiang, I'm afraid that I will be able to see my father and mother on the 15th." ”
Xianglan looked at Dong Ruyi, who was walking around on the kang, and hurriedly said, "Miss, don't leave on the kang, be careful of falling off." ”
Dong Ruyi was stunned for a moment, suddenly turned pale, and hurriedly said: "Calm down, calm down." ”
"Xianglan, let someone tell Wang Fugui and let him go to Boss Jia, let our people go to Zhenjiang, and if they don't receive someone, I don't worry. ”
Xianglan was stunned, Miss was worried about the flood in the Han River.
She hurriedly persuaded: "The master has an official to follow, it should be fine." As he spoke, he said with tea, "Miss, do you want to take a sip?"
Dong Ruyi waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to, and then said: "Now that the Han River is flooding, the refugees over there are making a lot of trouble, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten off the boat in Zhenjiang." ”
When Xianglan heard this, she hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, the slave will go and order." ”
Dong Ruyi said: "Xianglan, ask Wen Si to go over with Wang Fugui." ”
Although Dong Ruyi arranged everything, something still happened.
Dong Wende's family, including the officials who passed the decree, were all trapped in Danyang, where refugees had rebelled because of the government's unfavorable disaster relief.
This year, as in previous years, it began to rain in several tributaries of the Han River in the spring, and in the summer, many places were flooded.
Local officials have not reported to the government for the triennial performance appraisal.
This kind of thing happens every year, but this year, because of Dong Ruyi's talent note, many people have no money in their hands.
When some unscrupulous businessmen saw the disaster in the Han River, they wanted to send money to the refugees.
The corruption of officials, coupled with the troubles of unscrupulous merchants, led to the escalation of the situation, and wherever the floods were severe, there were rebellious refugees.
And local officials not only concealed it, but also used local soldiers to suppress it.
It wasn't until someone sued Beijing that the matter suddenly broke out.
The emperor was very angry, disposed of more than 100 officials who did not report it, and directly transferred 5 million taels of silver to the disaster relief, but who knew that there was still very little left in the hands of the people.
The emperor learned that the five million taels for disaster relief were missing, and smashed an inkstone that had been used for ten years in the imperial study.
The inkstone fell to the ground, which shows that the emperor is so angry, and it is said that the large square bricks of the imperial study have been smashed into a pit.
Everybody knows what's going on.
But the emperor didn't show it.
This time, he did not continue to send Qincha, but secretly sent Jinyi Wei to investigate.
Just three months ago, Jin Yiwei, who went south, disappeared along with the evidence, lists, and account books he found.
Everyone in the court was staring at the emperor to see what the emperor would do next.
It's just that the emperor is still very calm, and in the following month, it was reported in the palace that the emperor had arranged for the Qin messenger to pick up the Jinyi Guard early in the morning, and this time the Qin messenger not only had to check the whereabouts of the disaster relief money, but also thoroughly investigated the cause of the river embankment breaking by cutting corners.
For a while, the court shook, and all the officials of the Han River generation held their heads, cautiously guarding against the arrival of new faces.
The Chen family and Jiangning Mansion still didn't know about Dong Wende and the official mission.
The reason why Dong Ruyi got the news early was because she was no longer the Dong Ruyi who had just crossed back.
Now in Jiangning Mansion, the only one who can compete with Mu Zhai is Dong Ruyi.
She took over all the underground forces in Jiangning Mansion, who made her rich.
If it hadn't happened to Han Jiang, she would have met with the leader of the Cao Gang a long time ago.
Han Xiang trotted back, she whispered a few words in Dong Ruyi's ear, Dong Ruyi said: "Xiangju, let's go out of the house." ”
Xiangju directly took the burden prepared in advance, pulled Dong Ruyi and walked out.
When Dong Ruyi walked out of the gate of the Chen family, he saw Boss Jia looking outside the carriage.
Seeing Dong Ruyi coming out, Boss Jia hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, let's talk on the road." ”
Dong Ruyi said: "It's hard work. ”
Xiangju hurriedly picked up Dong Ruyi, accompanied by a carriage, and there were four mothers-in-law who knew kung fu in the carriage.
Boss Jia drove the driveway: "The leader of the Cao Gang, Weng Gang, said that he has no way now." The messenger and the family of the lord are in the hands of the refugees, and they now want more than just food. ”
Dong Ruyi snorted coldly: "What do they want? Do you still want the court to pardon them?"
Boss Jia was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I really let the eldest lady guess correctly, they want the emperor to pardon them, and they want fields." ”
Dong Ruyi sneered in her heart, it was really whimsical, but her family was now in the hands of this group of whimsical people.
Dong Ruyi sat in the carriage for a day and a night, the noise outside became louder and louder, and the carriage moved more and more slowly.
Dong Ruyi lifted the curtain and saw that the outside was full of refugees who had fled to Jiangning Mansion.
