Chapter 308 Family Business

"It's just that I don't quite understand, why did Xu Linfeng let me do it, do you think it has anything to do with my identity as Princess Chen Guo?"

Li Tianyou frowned, "This is a bit difficult to say, but when I was an official in the court, I also heard a lot about the Xu family, the Xu family has a huge influence in the court, in fact, there is the queen mother sitting behind it, and you are the queen mother's favorite princess Chen Guo, and the queen's concubine, although you were demoted by the emperor to a common person and rushed here, but the queen mother and the queen still remember you in their hearts." ”

"If Lord Xu does this and really has something to do with the imperial court, I think maybe it is to please the Queen Mother, or this is the will of the Queen Mother in itself."

In the memory of Chen Youyi, he did remember the favor of the queen and the queen mother, and he also knew that his father was not the queen mother's own son, but an adopted son.

There are also some contradictions between the emperor and the queen mother, and the power of the Xu family is to support the queen mother's side.

Things in the court are complicated, and Chen Youyi was just a princess of Chen Guo who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and she didn't know much about this matter, but she only heard a few words occasionally.

Seeing that Chen Youyi was pondering, Li Tianyou said again, "You have been demoted to a commoner, you have been here for a long time, and now you have some family business, I think the emperor will definitely not be angry with you anymore, maybe the queen mother also wants the emperor to see your performance here, as well as your ability, and then recall you back to the palace." ”

"It's all speculation, and it's not necessarily true." Chen Youyi bit her lower lip slightly, she was really a little unhappy about this matter, she was living a prosperous life here now, how could she be willing to go back to the cage in the palace.

It's not free at all, and it's not the life you want to live.

"I just came to ask you, what is the specific reason, and I will talk about it later, I also want to know if you are willing to help Xu Linfeng do this."

"This is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, to help the local people rebuild their homes, and I also hope to do a little bit, so I am naturally willing. It's just that you ......" Li Tianyou looked at Chen Youyi, obviously seeing a contradictory look on her face, and he didn't know what she thought.

Chen Youyi thought in her heart, if this was really the will of the Queen Mother, and not just Xu Linfeng's idea, I am afraid that she would not be able to shirk this matter.

What's more, she was more willing to do something for the victims, and finally she really took a deep breath, "Since many people have already spoken, and you are willing to do this, then I will agree to come down, and tomorrow I will ask Wang Da to give Master Xu a reply, and say that you and I have agreed to do this." ”

Li Tianyou suddenly laughed, and admired Chen Youyi even more, "You are really a heroine." ”

"Don't say these praises, if it weren't for Lord Xu's mouth, I wouldn't have thought of doing this. It's just that I really don't know much about this matter, you are the squire of the Ministry of Works, and this kind of thing should have been done by you, so if there is anything in the future, I need you to help me a lot. ”

"If there is anything you command, I will naturally listen to you, the things here are indeed a little complicated, but it is also simple to say, those complicated things will be left to me to do, since Lord Xu has already said that he wants you to take care of the accounts, then you can manage the accounts well, and I will handle the rest."

With Li Tianyou's words, Chen Youyi's heart was naturally a lot more steady, and when she was about to speak, Mrs. Li's voice came from inside the house, "It's not early, it's time to rest, let's talk about something tomorrow, what is there to say about this big night." ”

With a hint of reproach in her voice, Chen Youyi suddenly realized that it was indeed a little inappropriate for her to come to Li Tianyou at this time.

Hurriedly said, "Then this matter, we will talk about it in detail tomorrow, the specific details, what I want to do, you come to my house and talk about it." ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Youyi turned around and left Li Tianyou's house, and Li Tianyou stood in place, looking at her back from a distance, until he turned around and walked out of the door, then he withdrew his gaze and lowered his head and smiled.

Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Youyi got up and called Wang Da over, "You go to the town and talk to Lord Xu, just say that what he told me yesterday is that I have agreed, and I will visit Li Tianyou in person another day, and then explain some details in detail." Master Xu knows what is going on, you just need to go back like this. ”

Wang Da nodded, and when he turned to go out, he was stopped by Chen Youyi again, "You call Mo Xincheng, I'll have something to do with him." ”

Not long after Wang Da left, Li Tianyou and Mo Xincheng approached the hall with their front and back feet.

Chen Youyi glanced at Li Tianyou, motioned for him to sit on the side for a while, and then instructed Mo Xincheng, "You go back and calculate carefully, see how much silver you can use at home, and report me an accurate amount after careful calculation." ”

Mo Xincheng didn't say anything and nodded before turning to leave, Chen Youyi then fell on Li Tianyou, who was sitting on the side, "I was really a little presumptuous last night, I was just a little anxious and couldn't understand things, so I wanted to ask you and see what you thought, but I ignored the time." ”

"I don't have anything, I'm just afraid that it's too late, and I don't get along alone, and there are bad rumors outside." Li Tianyou had also heard some rumors about Chen Youyi and Xu Linfeng, of course, he didn't believe these at all, because no matter how you look at it, Chen Youyi doesn't look like that kind of woman.

"I don't care too much about what others like to say, but I'm afraid that my family will care, it's my fault, I will pay more attention in the future."

Chen Youyi explained last night's events clearly in one sentence, and then moved on to the main topic, "You come and tell me, how the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court are mainly used, I don't know much about this aspect, if I am asked to supervise this money, I don't know what to supervise." ”

Li Tianyou smiled slightly, and said slowly, "Each region has its own requirements and differences, although the disaster relief funds are allocated by the imperial court, but the local government still has the final say on where it will be used, since this matter has been handed over to Lord Xu to do, it is naturally up to him to have the final say." ”

Chen Youyi nodded, "But Lord Xu didn't tell me clearly yesterday how to do this, and now I'm like a headless fly, wandering around." ”

"That's not it, since the disaster relief money is used for home construction, it is naturally distributed to the people one by one according to the head and the household, some are directly distributed to silver, and some are directly distributed materials."
