Chapter 409: Money
As soon as the Chinese New Year arrived, Liu Yan was a little restless.
It's either that she has any prejudice against the New Year, or that she ...... In the past few years, it has been difficult to stop the New Year, either dead or accidental.
This year, it seems that it has passed peacefully, nothing has gone wrong, and there is nothing to worry about.
It's just that the snow is getting heavier. From the second day of the Lunar New Year to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, it rained for three full days. Everywhere in the palace and outside the palace were busy clearing snow - there were places in the palace where the eaves tiles were crushed by the snow, and I heard that there were also people outside the palace whose roofs had collapsed. The people of the government were busy, taking care of the wounded, arranging shelter and food and clothing for them.
Liu Yan also deliberately asked people to carry a small box to Yilan Palace.
Although the box was not big, it was very heavy, and both Guiyuan and the palace maid of Yilan Hall had difficulty lifting it.
Empress Cao was confused: "What is this?" ”
Liu Yan lifted the lid of the box himself.
It was full of gold and silver.
"I heard that my father asked people to give porridge in the south of the city, and the money came from the inner treasury, and I ...... it."
Empress Cao smiled: "Are you afraid that your father will run out of money and want to help him pay?" No, you can put these away. ”
"It's not that I'm afraid that my father won't have money...... That's it, I ...... too" Liu Yan was a little embarrassed, and whispered: "I also want to do something." Thinking that there are people outside who are hungry and cold, and homeless, but I am here with fine clothes and food, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and my heart is not steady. I have a lot of these things, and it's useless to press them under the box, so I might as well take them out and do something. ”
Empress Cao touched her head: "Okay, then it's up to you." ”
Liu Yan became happy: "Then the queen mother will let people take this, change it for rice grain, cotton clothes or something, if it is not enough, tell me again, I still have money there." ”
Empress Cao was a little funny, but more of a relief.
The daughter has grown up.
Sometimes to see whether a person grows up or not, it is not based on the size, but on the mind. When he doesn't just think about "how do I want to do it", but thinks about other people's situations and sufferings, he really grows up.
As for Liu Yan saying that she has money, does Queen Cao not know if she has money?
If you want to say that there is, of course there is, compared with ordinary people, Liu Yan's private house can be regarded as rich. But no matter how rich the unmarried princess is, it is nothing more than her money, the gift of her parents, and the gifts of others, this money is actually very limited. But if it is a person who has become a family, it is different, the princes have a family and an industry, and the princesses have become relatives and have their own dowry grange, then they are really rich.
The sons of the family did not react to the heavy snow, and they were afraid that their money would not be enough, and they did not think about pulling it out of other people's pockets, and thank God, and Empress Cao would not expect them to think of taking money out of their own pockets to help the victims.
Queen Cao accepted the silver brought by her daughter, and turned her head and told the emperor 1510.
The emperor's reaction was similar to that of Queen Cao, and he was very pleased that his daughter had grown up and was sensible, and she could think about the suffering of the people in her heart, and she could also think about sharing the worries of her parents.
That's enough for a princess, it's enough. The emperor and queen's expectations for her daughter are not so high, and being healthy is the first one, and it is better to be able to read and reason.
"Where does she have any money, and she still thinks she is a rich man." The emperor covered the box: "Go back and make up for her, don't let her really empty her private money." ”
Empress Cao nodded: "I know." But this child doesn't value money either, you see she usually doesn't like those things that are too luxurious, and she doesn't like weird and exotic food, so she has a good temperament. ”
Especially with the contrast of "ignorance", it seems that Liu Yan is simply too good.
The emperor felt that he should give more dowry to the sensible and obedient child, lest she would not be able to calculate at all and live a hard life.
In fact, where is Liu Yan's life bitter?
She can't wear her clothes every season, and she has a lot of jewelry, and she hasn't worn more than half of them. The meal is so rich every day, everything in the world, she can get it if she wants, and a large number of people in the living and lying down are waiting in front and back, taking care of everything.
She lacks nothing.
What do you have to do with those things outside the body? She may not be able to use it up in her life, but not far from her, across a palace wall, someone is homeless with an empty stomach, so why can't this money be used in a more appropriate place?
Successfully sent out a box of money, Liu Yan was in a much better mood, ate an extra bowl for lunch, and wrote exceptionally smoothly in the afternoon.
Liu Yan didn't publicize this matter, and she didn't want others to know about it, and she promoted the name of benevolence to herself.
And Liu Yan understands one thing very well.
If no one else does a good deed, then everyone can pretend to be indifferent and turn a blind eye. But if one person does it, the others are embarrassed.
Let's do it, don't be reluctant, take the money out to others, it's even more painful than cutting meat from your body. If you don't follow it, your face is a little unbearable, for fear that others will say that you are mean and stingy, and that you are rich and unkind.
In this way, they have to hold a grudge against the one who took the lead.
But somebody will always know.
Of course, the emperor and queen don't need to say that they sent Liu Yan a lot of good things every other day, for fear that she would lose her son. The fourth prince also thinks that his sister is stupid and generous, how much money can she have as a little princess? is soft-hearted, I heard that the victims had no food to eat, and I was uneasy, and the fourth prince also sent Liu Yan a box of precious jewelry and toys. Princess Fuyu is also more well-informed than others, and she originally helped Queen Cao arrange to manage part of the relief, as soon as she knew about it, she also felt that Liu Yan had suffered a loss, and she wanted to compensate her sister.
Princess Fuyu is a very solid one among the princes and princesses, mainly because she has a lot of dowry, and the Mengguo Mansion is also a rich family.
This is not in her dowry, nor is it from the Meng family, it is after Princess Fuyu got married, Meng Juma once took over from others. The garden is not big or small, and when it came to Princess Fuyu, it was dilapidated, and now it has been renovated. Originally, Princess Fuyu planned to live and escape the heat in the summer, but her own garden was big enough, and this garden was useless for a while, so she simply gave it to Liu Yan as a gift.
Along with the title deed, there are drawings of the garden, which depict the size of the garden, the houses, and the scenery in great detail.
Liu Yan was stupid when he received this gift.
"Send me?" A garden?
She often receives gifts, and it can be said that she has seen all kinds of precious gifts, but this is the first time someone has given her a big garden!
