Chapter 740: End of the Capital’s Matters

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

There was a charcoal fire in the house, and it was warm. Not only had they prepared chestnuts, but they had also prepared some specialties that Yin Huaixi had brought back from the North.

Of course, Yin Huaixi had brought a lot of the specialties of the Northern Barbarians.

However, she could not eat meat or fish during mourning.

In addition, the Northern Barbarians also had many mushrooms. The rarest ones were the Monkey Head Mushrooms. They were known as “vegetarian meat.” When roasted, they also had a different taste.

After taking the medicine for a while, Yu Youyao’s mouth felt bitter. In addition, her diet was light and nourishing, so she didn’t have much of an appetite. After trying different food today, her appetite improved a lot. One was in charge of roasting, and the other was in charge of eating.

Unknowingly, Yu Youyao had eaten a lot.

Three days later, Yu Youyao’s righteous donation to the disaster relief caused another donation trend in the court.

This trend of “disaster relief donations” had also completely pushed the cabinet’s situation to the top.

There was an urgent cabinet meeting.

After confirming the disaster relief date, at the beginning of October, funds were allocated to the various government offices in the north and they were ordered to do their best to provide disaster relief.

Yu Zongzheng did not get his wish and became an imperial censor to go to the north for disaster relief. The reason was because someone from the Imperial Court said, “When your biological mother passes away, a filial son won’t leave the house for three years!”

The court officials started a discussion.

Although Yu Zongshen was mourning at home and was considered a “filial son”. During the mourning period, all the rules should be observed carefully to show filial piety.

Yu Zongzheng couldn’t refute. If he did, he would be unfilial.

Although Yu Zongshen stayed home, Yu Zongzheng was no longer like a fish in water in the royal court. It was only at this moment that he vaguely understood the reason why he had a smooth path in officialdom all these years. He had Madam Xie’s money to support his interpersonal connections, and Yu Zongshen in the cabinet to take care of him.

The matter in the capital was over!

Far away in the Xie Residence in Quanzhou, when they found out that Yu Youyao was sick, they specially sent a merchant ship into the capital to bring her to Quanzhou to stay for a while.

Old Madam had just passed away not long ago. The family was worried that Yu Youyao would miss her and it would be difficult for her to recover, so they agreed.

The clan did not object and only said, “It’s human nature for her maternal family to be involved in the mourning of her Grandmother. It’s only right.”

With the support of the Yu Residence and the Yu Clan, some of the etiquette matters were considered thorough.

Others would no longer criticize her with the usual custom of staying at home for three years after a family member passed away. Rituals were started because of human relationships anyway.

After Old Madam Yu passed away, although there was a Second Mansion in the clan to help with the funeral, everyone understood that the two branches of the Yu Residence had split up long ago. Old Madam Yu had returned to the eldest branch, so the first branch should be in charge of the funeral. The Second Mansion would be the support, and the clan would only help out. It was only right for the first branch to step in to manage the funeral.

Yu Youyao was a thirteen-year-old girl who had supported her grandmother’s funeral.

The funeral only lasted for three weeks, but be it seven weeks, or the rituals, banquets, and nights, they were all glorious. There were no mistakes, and she was better than many daughters-in-law.

No one would say that she was unfilial.

Filial piety was the most important trait. Since she showed filial piety, the world would not be harsh on her.

Now that she had donated to the drought in the north, she was also benevolent.

On September 28th, the Xie family’s merchant ship entered the capital.

The Second Old Madam and the Clan Chiefs wife, who had a good relationship with Yu Youyao, had specially rushed over from the clan to help Yu Youyao manage all the matters related to leaving the capital.

Not only that, but they had also brought along a bunch of things that the clan had given her. They had added 30 0/0 more to the original foundation, and the value of her items had also increased a lot.

Just by doing this, Yu Youyao knew that the “300,000 taels” had not been donated in vain.

The Second Old Madam and the Clan Chief’s wife represented the Yu Clan and valued and treated her seriously. No matter where she went, this importance and caution would accompany her wherever she went.

In order for her to go to Quanzhou, the Yu Clan prevented her from being exposed. This was also to protect her.

After spending almost a month together, it was enough to get close.

Clan Chief’s wife held Yu Youyao’s hand. Seeing that she seemed to have lost a little more weight, she felt a little upset. “It’s only been a few days since I last saw you. Why have you lost weight again? Your father is too outrageous. He’s busy with the court all day and doesn’t even care about his sick daughter at home. You’ve suffered.’

She did not avoid the servants while saying this in the hall.

Clan Chief’s wife was a direct descendant of the eldest branch, so her status in the clan was very high. Even if Yu Zongzheng came to her, he had to respectfully call her “Sister-in-law.”

It wasn’t too much for her to complain.

At first glance, it sounded like she was just concerned.

However, after thinking about it for a while, she realized that something had happened.

It was as if Yu Youyao was seriously ill and did not have any relatives to take good care of her at home. They could not bear to see her eldest sister suffer, so they asked her to go to Quanzhou to recuperate.

It could be said that she had been thorough about her going to Quanzhou to recuperate.

Outsiders could also understand.

However, these words were inappropriate for others to say. Only the wife of the Clan Chief, who was on the Clan Chief’s side, sounded the most convincing.

The Second Old Madam also sighed. “We all know that you’re filial. Your grandmother has passed away, and you feel terrible. You’ve been sick for so long, but your health hasn’t improved. Imperial Physician Hu has long instructed that you can’t be careless with this illness. You have to be careful not to worry too much or work hard and tire yourself out. You have to recuperate. Since you can’t recuperate well in the capital, you have to recuperate carefully when you reach Quanzhou.”

“You’re still young. You can’t lose your health. That’s how your grandmother lost her health. The clan has always felt sorry for your grandmother. You can’t force yourself like your grandmother. When you reach Quanzhou, write more letters to the clan.’

These words emphasized the Clan Chief’s wife’s words.

The clan felt that they owed Old Madam Yu. They couldn’t let Yu Youyao be like her grandmother and lose her health for the family, so they asked her to go to Quanzhou to recuperate.

Logically speaking, Yu Youyao was most suitable to go to Quanzhou.

Even Yu Youyao couldn’t help but feel a little touched when she heard this. “Grandmother and Aunt, don’t worry. After I arrive in Quanzhou, I’ll send a letter to the clan to report my safety. There’s still someone in the capital to take care of that for me.’

The Second Old Madam and the Clan Chief’s wife quickly agreed.

Yu Youyao continued, “Before Grandmother died, she was most worried about

Fourth Brother. This time, when I leave the capital, I plan to bring Fourth Brother to experience Quanzhou. It’s better to travel ten thousand miles than to just read. This way, he can broaden his horizons and broaden his mind. It’s beneficial to his studies.’

“After stopping in Quanzhou for a while, Cousin will return to Youzhou. At that time, Cousin will bring Fourth Brother to Youzhou. Not long ago, Mr. Xian Yun opened Chongshan Academy in Youzhou. Cousin and Mr. Xian Yun are old friends. He will recommend Fourth Brother to study in the Chongshan Academy. Fourth Brother will return to the capital after his studies are successful.’

Yu Shansi was not talented, but he was not bad either.

The most important thing was to be willing to work hard.

If he fell behind in his studies, he could not catch up. Instead, he chose to strengthen his foundation. After establishing a solid foundation, coupled with Yin Huaixi’s notes, he improved in his studies..
