"I was negligent. I'll make arrangements with someone..."
Cui Weizhen shook his head at Ye Zhenzhen. She couldn't help but stop talking and listened to him say: "Li Zheng's staffing and salary are the affairs of the imperial court. Yongshan Hall does not need to interfere. I will inform your Majesty and your Majesty will make the decision."
Nowadays, the saint is very supportive of the Shantang issue, and Cui Weizhen is a famous person in the imperial court. As long as he petitions, he will definitely get permission.
Xu Lizheng was overjoyed and bowed to Cui Weizhen repeatedly to thank him. Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen looked at each other for a while before leaving. By chance, they met Zhao Yuxuan, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, at the door.
Zhao Yuxuan was one of the ladies interviewed for the job at the banquet. She happened to be responsible for checking the application qualifications in Tongshanfang area. Unexpectedly, she happened to run into Ye Zhenzhen who was returning home today.
She hurriedly came forward to pay her respects: "My little daughter has met Mrs. Ning Guo and Uncle Jing Ning. Please be well."
Ye Zhenzhen had just met her at a meeting a few days ago. All the ladies, including Zhao Yuxuan, have changed and grown to some extent after these days of experience. For example, Zhao Yuxuan, she has become mature and steady to the naked eye.
Just in time for the meeting, Ye Zhenzhen asked about the review status of this area. Zhao Yuxuan knew it by heart and talked about it in detail - which company's application was passed, which company was not passed, what were the reasons and problems, etc.
She spoke in great detail, showing that she walked from house to house.
Ye Zhenzhen nodded repeatedly when she heard this, feeling extremely happy that Zhao Yuxuan finally lived up to her high expectations.
Zhao Yuxuan said at the end, full of emotion: "My little girl used to laugh at the naivety and stupidity of 'why not eat minced meat' when I was studying. It wasn't until I came to work at Madam Yongshan Hall that I realized that I was also a fool. The little girl only knew that the poor were poor, but she couldn't imagine it.
Only recently did I realize how poor they were. My daily snacks of one tael of silver were enough for a family of seven to survive for a month. What's more, some families didn't even have an income of one tael of silver and had to eat chaff every day.
Only by eating food and running exhausted can you barely survive; if there is a big disaster, you can only sell your daughter..."
"My little daughter didn't really understand Madam's aspirations before. It wasn't until she saw the misery of the people that she understood Madam's greatness."
If this is the case under the emperor's feet, what will happen to the barbaric land? Zhao Yuxuan did not dare to imagine it, but she knew that the arduous task of helping the world at the same time was probably an arduous task.
Nowadays, Mrs. Ning Guo has set a precedent in history, which will be continued by future generations. Only those who are good at talking will continue to live on and help more people in the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking that she was a part of this great achievement, Zhao Yuxuan's heart was extremely excited, and she looked at Mrs. Ning Guo with growing admiration and admiration, which was no different from the fanatical fans of later generations.
Ye Zhenzhen could understand Zhao Yuxuan's mood very well.
To use a later saying, "If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?" From the moment they were born, these ladies from noble families were set on the direction of their lives - studying poetry and calligraphy.
A female worker is in charge of the middle income. In the future, she will marry a well-matched husband and raise her children. She will live in the house all day long, working on one-third of an acre of land. Her life will be poor and boring, and she can see the end at a glance.
Now I have the opportunity to devote myself to a "meaningful" career. This career is undoubtedly the brightest color in a boring life. Anyone who pursues something cannot bear to give it up.
As their guide, Ye Zhenzhen received such fanatical respect and gratitude.
She smiled softly, patted Zhao Yuxuan's shoulder, and said: "A single spark can start a prairie fire. Now the power of Yongshan Hall is not strong, and there are not many people who can help, but I like that it can play a role in attracting others. , future generations can be inspired and imitated by this, thereby saving more Liming people."
Zhao Yuxuan's eyes became hazy, filled with longing and longing: "Madam, will there be a day when the people live and work in peace and contentment, live a prosperous life, and achieve the 'Great Harmony' mentioned by the sage?"
"There will be."
Ye Zhenzhen's answer was extremely firm and proud, with even a proud smile on her face. Cui Weizhen couldn't look away for a moment, and couldn't help but think of the past life that Zhen'er had told him. Presumably the country she lived in was already " Datong”, right?
Zhao Yuxuan still had things to do, so she said goodbye after a while, and Ye Zhenzhen and Cui Weizhen returned to Ye's house together.
Along the way, Cui Weizhen was extremely silent. Ye Zhenzhen felt something was wrong and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Your hometown."
Cui Weizhen looked at her and thought about her, his dark eyes were deep and quiet: "It must be that Haiyan and Heqing were prosperous and peaceful. It is a pity for the scholars of our generation that we cannot see it with our own eyes."
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but smile: "How did you know that future generations would also like to visit the prosperous era of the Great Zhou Dynasty? The Great Zhou Dynasty has become unprecedentedly prosperous and will surely become a shining treasure in the long history. Future generations will gaze at this event through time. Isn’t this period of history just like watching the flowers through the fog and lingering in our dreams? For them, it must be a pity."
"Yes, everyone has something to gain and everyone has something to lose. This is the balance of heaven."
Cui Weizhen smiled, gently squeezed her palm, and said: "It shows that Zhen'er has the blessing of heaven to appreciate the prosperity of the two lives."
Ye Zhenzhen gently shook his hand, her face full of tenderness and joy, and said sweetly: "My greatest luck is not coming to this world, but meeting you. Without you, What does the prosperity of the Great Zhou benefit me?"
The corners of Cui Weizhen's lips were slightly raised, and his eyes were filled with falling stars, shining brightly.
The young couple just went out for a trip, and they became even more sticky when they came back. Aunt Ye was amazed, but more than anything, she was happy. She wished that the relationship between her daughter and son-in-law would get better and better.
Infected by the young couple, the haze lingering in her heart seemed to be spread. Aunt Ye was happy and said to her daughter and son-in-law with a smile: "The food is ready. You go to the room to freshen up first and come out later." Have a meal."
Although Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Pengpeng got married, the Ye family still left a yard for each of them so that they could rest when they returned to their parents' home.
"Thank you, mother, we'll come right away."
Ye Zhenzhen responded sweetly, and went back with Cui Weizhen to freshen up, then went to the yard next door to call Ye Pengpeng and Wei Jinyu.
Pengpeng looked much better after resting. When Ye Zhenzhen and Cui Weizhen came, the young couple happened to be ready, so the four of them went to the front together.
Although Ye Dayong could not dine with them, this was a rare family dinner. Although the food was not exquisite, it was full of the taste of home. Ye Zhenzhen ate it with gusto, and even Peng Peng did not feel bad about it and ate two bowls in a row. Rice, my appetite feels better.
