Jade color and fragrance

Chapter 92

Yan Yu finally returned to the mansion, several people sat around a table to eat, and then had to discuss matters.

"Girl, today alone, we have taken in 160 or six children. Tomorrow is expected to be less, but the situation is really not optimistic."

"I know, but we can't do things halfway. We have to think about it."

"The bottom line is that we can continue to take in children, but it's better to set an upper limit, for example, 400 people."

He estimated that the maximum number of children that this house can accommodate is 400 after it is rebuilt.

Yesterday she was indeed not thoughtful enough, and she also lacked understanding of the actual situation of the common people. She did not expect that the number of people far exceeded expectations.

"But those who really need help and want to sell their children, how to deal with it."

"I have already thought of a way. From tomorrow onwards, we will still buy the children. If the parents are willing to take the children back, they can receive an extra half tael of silver every month. The next time they come to collect the moon silver, we will wait for the doctor to examine the child's body." Afterwards, if there is nothing wrong, you can continue to receive the money. And for all children, we have to investigate their families, and if there are any fraudulent ones, we will return them."

"This is appropriate, will there be any trouble, and I am afraid that the people will complain."

"Girl, it's time for Liu Sheng to play a role. Please Liu Sheng come forward and complete this matter in the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

The crowd joined in.

Mr. Zhou said again: "Girl, if you want to raise such a large group of children in the future, you can't just sit and eat. I am willing to change the dividend to [-]%."

"How can this make, sir, this is what I, Yan Yu, decided to do, and you are still waiting for an early comeback, how can it drag you down?"

"Girl, in fact, I have already thought that you will definitely say so, but I have to plan for you. I saw the reaction of the people today, and I know that you have a very good reputation among the people. Propaganda, several of our shops and Zhuangzi belong to you, so it must be helpful in business."

"My reputation is good?"

Although Yan Yu kept telling herself, don't care about fame, it's all external things, but she really didn't care, but it was fake.

"Your reputation is indeed very good!"

With Xuanyue and Mr. Zhou paving the way, and Yan Yu himself doing so many good deeds, the people's eyes are sharp, and their reputation will naturally be good.

"Well, then do as you wish, sir."

She is not a saint. To support so many people in the future, she must have a lot of money, so that she will not run out of money and do bad things with good intentions.

On the second day, in front of the Yan's Girls' Hall, four desks were laid out. Yan Yu and Mr. Zhou discussed the reconstruction of the house, and the other four continued to register.

The front of the hall is still crowded with people.

"The decree has arrived!"

Yan Yu and others rushed to the front of the hall, and the old acquaintance, Eunuch Chen, came again.

After Yan Yu received the imperial decree, she still couldn't believe her ears. She looked at Eunuch Chen, and Eunuch Chen nodded with a smile. She then looked at Aunt Xian, who nodded at her with tears in her eyes.

Mr. Zhou walked to her side and said, "Congratulations to County Lord Yan, congratulations to County Lord Yan."

"Mr. Zhou, did you hear that too? The emperor appointed me as county lord because I donated cotton clothes, predicted the severe cold in the capital, and saved the lives of the people. Now he ordered the Ministry of Households to subsidize 100 taels a month for the Girls' Hall?"

"Yes, the county lord, the emperor also gave you a plaque of the first good family."

"This plaque of the Home of Goodness is the first one in this dynasty, the county lord." Eunuch Chen added.

Aunt Xian has come to her senses and wants to go forward to offer a reward to Eunuch Chen, but Eunuch Chen does not accept it, and said in a loud voice: "The Emperor ordered that no one, including officials at all levels, be beaten by Yan's Baby Girl Hall." There are still people who do not need to be rescued, once they are found out, they will be dealt with strictly."

After finishing speaking, he bowed and said goodbye again: "County Master, this old slave is going back now, it's freezing cold, you have to take care of yourself, don't let His Royal Highness Prince Gong worry about you."

Yan Yu took a step forward, approached Eunuch Chen and said, "Eunuch, is this the imperial decree that His Highness asked for?"

"The emperor originally planned to promote you as the county lord. Last night, his highness entered the palace to ask. The emperor heard that you had opened a baby girl hall, and praised you as a model of women in the world. However, his highness stopped him. He was afraid that the emperor would find you in the future. There are no other words to praise you."

"Thank you for telling me all this, father-in-law. The weather is so cold, you made a special trip, and you didn't receive the red envelope. Then my pastry shop, send some pastries to your house, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

Mr. Chen was fair, and a group of people left in a mighty way.

"Congratulations to the county lord, congratulations to the county lord." The entire Yan family and the people present congratulated in unison. Naturally, the whole Yan family has something to do with the honor, and these people, of course, believe it. They can come in the future and bring back their own child.

Uncle Deng and others stepped forward, lifted the plaque of "The Home of the First Benevolent", and discussed with Mr. Zhou how to hang it up. Everyone was beaming.

When the matter here is over, the number of people queuing up to sell their children has dropped by more than half. The mother said with a smile: "It seems that the emperor's oral order has worked. Let's just do good deeds in the future, but no one dares to fight the autumn wind." .”

There are more and more children in the Girls' Hall, but the workers are not yet full, all the servants of Yan's house have come to help, Yan Yu and others are also here, eating with the children.

Nanny wanted to go to the kitchen to cook for Yan Yu privately, but she stopped her.

"Girl, today is your good day, you should eat better."

"Mommy, I'm happy. Everything tastes delicious. Besides, I'm very satisfied with one meat and one vegetarian."

The servants helped the children wash up and took them to rest.

Those older children have already been juggling things sensibly.

In the house, the cries kept ringing one after another, and the children who left their mothers were not used to it.However, they could no longer be inseparable from their mothers.

Yan's house, the meeting hall.

Yan Yu opened her eyes and smiled: "Nurse, today the entire family will give a monthly reward."

"It should be, everyone has been tired recently, and today is a good day. Girl, you can rest for a day tomorrow, don't be too tired."

"Okay. Mr. Zhou, the Girls' Hall is busy in the early stage. Please help me to take care of it. If there is anything missing, we can make arrangements in the morning."

"Yes, girl. Don't worry. I'm thinking about it. If we don't buy ten more servants, the children are too young, and someone must watch them. There must be no mistakes."

"Do as you say."

"I think it's better to ask two nuns to handle this matter. Nunnies, you must choose the one who is more patient, and it doesn't matter if you work slowly. If there is one who can treat the children as if they were their own, I will give them back in the future." Monthly increase."

"Okay, girl, don't worry." Nanny Xian and Nanny Li agreed.

When Xuan Yue entered Yan's house, he threw stones at the window several times, but failed to wake Yan Yu up.

The girl was probably exhausted.

Forget it, someone had to return without success.

　Xuan Yue contributed so much to him that he didn't get any benefit.
