After marrying Prince Mobei, the beauties were crazily criticized and favored crazily

Chapter 212 Stupid

"Disaster relief usually involves sending food and cotton cloth." Mrs. Luo was talking to Luo Siniang and Luo Xiyao about the disasters in the Eastern Qi Dynasty. It’s fine to send cotton cloth, as long as you pay attention to fire prevention and moisture protection, the food will be worn out during delivery. If you encounter bandits, if you lose your things, you may die. Soldiers protect, but in the end... If the Xu family uses this as an excuse, we have nothing to do."

"When a disaster occurs, the imperial court must quickly save the people from the fire and water. The relief of the people is mainly about relief. Giving the victims a bite of food is only a temporary thing. The important thing is how to keep them alive and live well. For example, in Yujiang, many houses collapsed. The fields have also lost a lot, and there are even gaps in the granary, and the grain has been eaten up by rat ants. These can be solved by opening the granary to release the grain? It is urgent right now, but what is more worth worrying about is the future." Luo Xiyao sighed "However, these are not things we can interfere with, but the Xu family has some plans. The second son of the Xu family is just a human being, so what can he do if he goes to the disaster relief? It's just helping with paperwork. What's the danger in doing calculations here? You are worried that your uncle will agree, and you underestimate him too much."

"Besides..." Luo Xiyao's eyes were clear, "No matter how righteous the Xu family said, it can't change the fact that they have a problem with Yuzhou Qisejin." Others don't know, but she knows that the second prince is in Pingcheng. The tribute lost by the second prince was exchanged for silver in the hands of Helan Linzhang, and she told Helan Linzhang that the second prince hid the tribute, "Maybe the Xu family wanted to use this It's worth it."

Mrs. Luo and Luo Siniang glanced at each other, "What overwhelmed the merits? Could it be that the brocade that had problems with Princess Ning Xin and the ceremony was from the Xu family..."

"It's hard to say." Luo Xiyao raised her eyebrows slightly, "The Xu family has been running Yuzhou weaving in Yuzhou for many years, and the seven-color brocade has always been their secret. I don't believe that someone can weave seven-color brocade outside casually. Come on. If this is the case, the seven-color brocade will not become a tribute, it will only be worn by the royal family. This kind of craftsmanship should not be passed on to the outside world, and it cannot even be mastered by one person. The problematic brocade appeared in the palace... It's not a small matter."

"You mean that the Xu family wants to take this opportunity to intercede with His Majesty?" Luo Siniang frowned, "If the Xu family is really like this, this marriage is not worth it, otherwise, if I marry, something will happen to the Xu family. It will also drag down the Luo family. You really know how to pretend, you have a beautiful face, but you are dirty and dark inside. Xu Binyu is in the paddock with her eldest brother-in-law and the others...couldn’t they be plotting something?”

Before Luo Xiyao could speak, she noticed the shadow outside the door. She smiled and went to open the door, "Since Uncle is here, why don't you come in? Eavesdropping is not a gentleman's job!"

Luo Shangshu stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "I was fascinated by what you said so reasonable, hahaha, how does Jiu Niang know that the person standing outside the door is me?"

"My girl is guarding outside. If someone else eavesdrops, won't she remind?" Luo Xiyao smiled and said, "Only uncle in the mansion dares to eavesdrop so openly, don't worry about my uncle getting angry!"

Now that Luo Shangshu has made up his mind about Luo Siniang's marriage, and has seen through the Xu family's purpose, Luo Xiyao stopped talking, "Uncle, the government hasn't formulated a disaster relief plan yet?"

"Don't worry about those." Luo Shangshu looked at the calm and intelligent Luo Xiyao, and admired him very much, "You have to learn from Jiu Niang. Regardless of whether you can do anything, you must be stable first, and then slowly figure out other things."

"If the Xu family didn't make mistakes, wouldn't they harm Si Niang?" Mrs. Luo was very worried.

Luo Siniang paused slightly with the hand pinching her shoulder, "Stupid?"

Luo Siniang readily admitted her mistake, "Got it! What's the matter with Uncle Xu bringing Second Elder Brother Xu here? I heard that the imperial envoy for disaster relief hasn't issued a decree yet, so Uncle Xu won't be in charge of disaster relief, right? He came to ask father for money for disaster relief?"

"Imperial examinations, fame, and merit." Luo Xiyao smiled, "Three birds with one stone! Master Xu is very gambler."

Luo Xiyao couldn't help but support her forehead, "Fourth Sister, Uncle has been listening to us for a while, he's a bit silly when you think about it like this."

"What are you talking about?" Luo Shangshu gave Mrs. Luo a reassuring look, and said, "That's your Uncle Xu and Second Elder Brother Xu, even if the marriage fails in the future, the friendship between the two families will still exist, Si Niang must not be rude."

"Okay, okay." Luo Shangshu asked Luo Siniang to sit down quickly, and said cheerfully: "The Xu family intends to withdraw from the engagement, and I blocked them back. No matter whether the marriage is successful or not, it cannot be withdrawn at this time."

Mrs. Luo looked at Luo Shangshu, "Master, you mean...to find another opportunity to divorce? Could it be that Jiuniang really guessed right, something is going to happen to the Xu family?"

"En." Luo Xiyao nodded, "If you don't believe me, look at uncle's eyes."

"Uncle, I'm honored." Luo Xiyao was curious about what conditions Xu's father and son would withdraw their engagement. "The Xu family wants to withdraw their engagement. It's impossible to send only Second Young Master Xu to disaster relief. What else did they say?"

"Then who knows?" Luo Shangshu said sternly, "Relief is not that simple. Every link affects the whole body. Once something goes wrong, it may bring serious consequences."

Luo Shangshu shook his head, "It doesn't count. If Xu's children make meritorious service, they will be famous all over the world, regardless of whether they have made achievements in the imperial examination."

"Someone in Yuzhou weaves their hands into the tribute, and the brocade with problems in the palace is probably woven in Yuzhou. The Xu family wants to donate most of their wealth, donate silver and cloth, and let their children participate in disaster relief in order to ask His Majesty light punishment."

This is what it means to catch Xu Binyu's mistakes.

"Father." Luo Siniang took small steps and stood behind Luo Shangshu, pinching his shoulder flatteringly, "The Xu family has left?"

"If it can make the family go further, it is worth fighting with some unimportant children. Although Xu Binyu is a direct descendant, he is not the only descendant of the direct descendant."

Luo Xiyao said: "To survive by cutting off the tail?"

Luo Siniang ran forward to look at Luo Shangshu's face, her father smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, she stomped her feet in disbelief, "Father!"

"The national treasury is empty, and the Ministry of Households is also a headache. The Ministry of War needs the places Mobei and Ximan. It must have weapons and armor, and the walls of the border gates must be maintained. The Yujiang earthquake, the Ministry of Industry plans the money needed for heavy holidays, and the Ministry of Officials must be able to send The list of people to go out has been drawn up, and the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites have also got some manpower... There is actually a censor in the court who proposes that His Majesty go to sacrifice to heaven." When Luo Shangshu mentioned this matter, his face was so gloomy that he almost dripped.

"Why can't we sacrifice to the heavens?" Luo Siniang didn't understand these things, "Sacrificing to pray for blessings can comfort the people! Doesn't Your Majesty go to the imperial mausoleum to offer sacrifices every year, and climb mountains to worship the heavens on the way back?"

Luo Shangshu didn't answer, but asked Luo Xiyao, "What does Jiu Niang think?"

Luo Xiyao raised the corner of her mouth mockingly, and uttered a word: "Stupid!"
