All Hail Cousin Brother

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a great deal of importance to the direct descendants and seniors, and it was rare to be named "Chang".

Yu Youyao was the only one in the three generations of the Great Zhou Dynasty to be named "Chang" as the chief county magistrate, with a noble status only under the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager.

She is not only a meritorious family member, and should be rewarded, let alone enshrining her, in order to stabilize the situation in the northern border, promote national policies, and stabilize the society.

should be rewarded.

The Queen Mother took the things in her private library to reward her, of course she had ulterior motives.

But the Empress Dowager made it clear that she could not ignore it, let alone disrespect the Empress Dowager in the open, disobeying her mother-in-law, and taking the name of being disrespectful and unfilial.

As long as the queen does not use the heavy reward to make a big fuss, and calculate the marriage between Shaoyi's chief county lord and the fourth prince, as the only chief county lord today, no matter how heavy the ceremony, Yu Youyao can still bear it.

Thinking about it carefully, the empress's scheming is hard to prevent. If it weren't for this paper seal, even if Yu Youyao's cleverness was excellent, she would not be able to escape.

The superiors are calculating people, and they are often fatal with one blow, which still makes Yu Youyao have lingering fears.

Mrs. Xie immediately smiled happily: "Since it's a good thing, then the matter of expanding Yu Garden can be settled. I'll contact the craftsman in a while, but I noticed that as soon as Mr. Li entered the house, with his slender eyes, he went to the house. I glanced at the room, and I couldn't help but look down on it..."

Although Yu Garden is good, it is indeed not as exquisite as Beijing, and it is not as serene as Yishui Garden, but this is also impossible. They have come too hastily, so they can only check in first, and then take care of it later.

The original plan was to expand Yu Garden.

However, the young children have always disagreed. They always felt that once they came to Xiangping, they would start a large-scale construction project, which was not very good. Moreover, there was still a famine in the north, and there were many refugees in the Liaodong area.

As soon as she thought about it, it was true, so she temporarily dismissed the idea, but Eunuch Li's despised attitude towards Yu Yuan today stimulated the old lady.

Several daughters-in-law of the Wang family are also very supportive.

When their family bought this house, they just took a fancy to it. The open space behind the house is very large. Whether it is expansion or repairing the garden, it is excellent.

The Xie Mansion's old house in Quanzhou was not what it was at the beginning. As the family continued to add more children, the population gradually increased, and it was constantly expanded and renovated, and then it became the latter scale.

Yu Youyao knew that the old lady was in love with her, and always felt that Yuyuan was not refined enough: "Grandmother, Eunuch Li came out of the palace, and his vision also followed the palace, everything is the best, and naturally he doesn't look down on folk things. The buildings in the north and south have their own styles, and we cannot generalize them. Yu Garden is sparse and open, but it is incomparable to Beijing where an inch of land is gold.

After living in Yu Garden for a period of time, she gradually realized the beauty of every scene and object in Yu Garden. The garden is open and closed, and it does not seem constrained at all, and it is also comfortable to live in.

It's just that my grandmother and the others always thought that the Liaodong area was relatively bitter and cold, and they felt wronged to her, and they felt that her current position, living in a yard with three entrances, was indeed inappropriate.

Early in the morning, it is necessary to open up, and to expand Yu Garden.

Let her refuse a few times.

Several uncles agreed:

"Your status is different now. If you are in the capital, you might have to grant the county master's mansion. At worst, it will be a five-entry mansion, and you may even be able to live in a six-entry and seven-entry residence. Yuyuan really needs to be repaired, and I can't wrong you. ."

"Yes, in the future, I will live here for a long time, and the dignity and regulation that the chief of the long county should have should be displayed. Today is different from the past, so I can no longer refuse."

"You are now the master of the county, and you are making a lot of construction work, and others won't say much. The layout of Yuyuan is suitable for expansion. If you add two more courtyards, you can find skilled craftsmen. It will take a year and a half at most. The construction can be completed, the mountain at the back is very big, and the construction will not disturb you, it will have no effect on you..."

"..."

As soon as you talk to me, the topic immediately becomes, how to expand the house, what materials to use, etc.

Yu Youyao pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't say anything about rejection.

After speaking, everyone from the Xie residence returned to the next door.

Yu Youyao thought that the first thing the Queen Mother gave was a pair of emerald jade Ruyi, so what was in the first golden silk nan dark wood inlaid treasure box given by the Queen Mother?

Since the Empress Dowager can guess the calculation of the Empress Dowager, she should know that the restriction on the Empress Dowager is very limited.

Even she could see that since the Queen Mother opened the palace gate, her words and deeds were suspected of disturbing the court. How could the Queen Mother not guess?

Since the Empress had planned the calculations, she aimed at her.

The queen mother also made a corresponding resolution.

But, will the Empress really stop at this?

She can't see it.

The Queen's concubine is so cruel, it is clear that she is bound to win the throne.

If it doesn't work out, there are other tricks.

Will the empress dowager not know?

Also, when Ningguo Gongfu was convicted and the eldest son of the emperor died, the empress really didn't hold any resentment at all?

The Empress Dowager is really relieved, the Empress Dowager is striving for the highest position?

Yu Youyao always felt that the empress dowager still had a later move.

Back in the room, Yu Youyao dismissed the next person, sat down at the table, and carefully opened the gilt lock on the gloomy wooden box of Jinsinan.

The things in the box made Yu Youyao gasp.

That's true!

Yu Youyao sighed softly, took out the decree of Ming Huang Xiufeng from the box, and unfolded with a solemn expression, it really was the decree of the King of North Wu Mu Ding to marry him.

The Empress Dowager has already seen through the future situation of the North.

Early on, he planned to use a piece of paper to give marriage and use his wife's family to contain King Wumu Dingbei. Yu Youyao helped King Wumu and promoted national policies in the northern border. Enyi, in the future, King Wu Mu Dingbei will treat Shaoyi County Master kindly no matter what.

Then, it is only natural to use Shaoyi's chief county lord to restrict Wu Mu's ambition to the North King of Dingbei.

Right now, the situation is very delicate.

It's not good to give the marriage in a big way. In order to avoid the empress's perseverance, the empress dowager had to issue a secret order first, and no matter how much the empress did, she would be stillborn.

The Empress must maintain the royalist party and adopt the four princes. Wen Yu, Wu and Song are indispensable. However, the Yu and Song families are family friends and in-laws. They have been in the same spirit for many years.

The biggest breakthrough was the marriage of the Princess of Shaoyi.

As long as the marriage of the county master of Shaoyi is blocked, the "Qingyun Road" of the empress will be difficult to achieve.

It really is one foot tall, and one foot tall!

It's just that Yu Youyao still has doubts. I don't know how the Empress Dowager's attitude towards the Fourth Prince?
