Chapter 82 Are you her friend?
Du Ziheng couldn't help but grind his teeth.
She knew perfectly well that he wouldn't do that!
Yu Zhiyi didn't care about Du Ziheng's dilemma and predicament. After revealing her thoughts, she didn't intend to pretend anymore.
If they want to accept a daughter-in-law/wife who can't have children and refuses to consummate the marriage, then so be it.
Suddenly, dozens of golden rays entered his brow.
Yu Zhiyi: "!!"
She felt a sudden darkness engulf her vision.
She didn't directly save the people at the banquet, so how can this be attributed to her?
Merit is good, but receiving such a huge amount of merit all at once made her heart tremble.
The lesson of that senior uncle's fate seemed to still echo in my ears, and the suffocation and pain of being buried alive in my past life seemed to resurface.
She pinched the bridge of her nose and called Ziyuan over: "Take half of the money and goods that His Majesty bestowed upon you, exchange them for cash if necessary, and personally use this money to purchase grain. Then transport the grain to Pengcheng and distribute it to the local people for free."
Hongluan told me that there is a country in this world that is like a fairyland. The technology there is very advanced. If rich people want to do good deeds, they don’t need to worry about it at all. They just need to donate money to some charitable organizations, and these organizations will use the money to benefit the public.
Donations are also very convenient and quick; you can simply tap to record them.
Unlike her, who sometimes gets money she doesn't deserve and has to go through a lot of trouble before she can use it for good deeds.
Zi Yuan was not surprised by this.
That's how it used to be with young ladies; whenever they felt they had received money they didn't deserve, they would give it away in this way.
But in the past, it was just small-scale stuff, and each time it would only cost a few dozen taels of silver.
This time, however, it cost over a thousand taels of silver.
This shows that the matter is very serious.
Zi Yuan dared not delay, so she quickly found a small box, packed five hundred taels of gold and some easy-to-dispose rewards, and left the mansion to take care of business.
After Zi Yuan left, Yu Zhiyi fell into deep thought.
In the future, she will mostly deal with royalty and nobility, and now she has a job in the Ministry of Justice. If she is not careful, she will be drawn into such a great cause.
There will definitely be many times when donations are needed, and she can't always rely on Ziyuan to handle things on short notice.
"Li Rou, come with me to Jinxiufang."
Li Rou was the maid who stood in front of Yu Zhiyi when You Bingyue was about to make a move. After that day, she promoted Li Rou to a first-class maid.
Normally, she and Ziyuan would take care of the household affairs while she took care of external affairs. Now that Ziyuan was not around, Yu Zhiyi had to leave the manor, so she could only take Li Rou with her.
Only Zhang Xiang was left behind, so there was no need for her to guard it. After all, even if there was no one in Linfeng Pavilion, it would still be an impregnable fortress, and no one could go in and cause trouble.
However, someone might need to stay home to look after the house at any time, as someone could come to talk to her about something.
Hongluan was somewhat surprised after hearing Yu Zhiyi's question: "You want to donate money?"
Yu Zhiyi nodded.
"Donating money is not convenient these days."
In her world, donating money only requires a few clicks.
The most troublesome thing is finding a reliable donation organization.
As for who the money will be used to help and how it will be used, the philanthropists don't need to worry about that at all.
But the rich people of this era are all like Zhou Bapi (a notorious exploiter). It's a blessing if they don't exploit the poor. How can we expect them to donate money to help the poor?
For people of this era, the only way to get them to spend money to help the poor at the bottom is if a natural disaster strikes somewhere, and the imperial court has no money to organize disaster relief, so they hold a knife to their throats...
"However, you can set up your own charity."
"Charitable organization?"
Yu Zhiyi listened attentively.
Hongluan was about to explain in detail when someone suddenly called out to her, "Sister Hongluan, a customer has specifically asked you to make clothes for them."
Since the banquet, Hongluan's reputation has soared, and she has replaced Zhou Xiuniang as the most popular embroiderer in Jinxiufang.
At first, Hongluan was very happy, but she soon discovered...
It's impossible to finish, there's simply no way to finish it!
Even if she didn't eat, drink, or sleep every day, she still couldn't finish processing all those orders.
Left with no other choice, she could only discuss with Hong Gu that she should temporarily stop taking orders from her. If any customers contacted her, she should tell them the truth: her orders were already booked for two months from now, and they should go find other embroiderers.
Hong Gu clearly agreed.
Yu Zhiyi, understanding and considerate, said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you."
After Hongluan left, Yu Zhiyi pinched the bridge of her nose.
On the surface, she only examined the remains of Princess Shun today, but to avoid further running around and disputes, she used a secret method to dispel the fog surrounding the faces of other people in Princess Shun's life, including her parents.
Efficiency has indeed improved.
But the consumption is really high.
If she hadn't suddenly received a large amount of golden light of merit, she would probably be resting by now.
Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the window, and Yu Zhiyi looked over...
At the same time, Hongluan also met the guest.
The second floor of Jinxiu Pavilion also displays ready-made clothes. In addition, there are several sets of tables and chairs. If distinguished guests do not want the trouble of trying on clothes in a private room, they can sit on these chairs to rest and enjoy the fine tea and snacks provided by Jinxiu Pavilion while selecting clothes.
When Hongluan arrived at the exhibition area, she saw a woman dressed in a tight black outfit standing with her hands behind her back.
Hearing footsteps, the woman turned around, revealing a beautiful face as fair as snow.
This woman was stunningly beautiful, but she lacked the gentle and graceful demeanor of most women today; instead, she exuded a free and domineering aura.
Hongluan's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the woman.
A beautiful woman with a unique temperament can always inspire people in a different way.
"You're the best embroiderer at Jinxiu Workshop?" The woman's scrutinizing gaze swept over Hongluan, noticing her embroidered red dress, and she frowned: "You wouldn't happen to be that woman's friend, would you?"
Hongluan: "?"
The woman in black was none other than You Bingyue.
After the palace banquet that day, she was humiliated because of Prince Xiaoyao.
She originally intended to go to Du Ziheng to explain that she and the Prince of Xiaoyao were not in that kind of relationship, but unexpectedly saw Du Ziheng chasing after that woman, and immediately felt that she had been betrayed.
In her anger, she no longer wanted to help him make money and simply quit her job at the bookstore.
I wanted to go out and do some shopping to relax, but I unexpectedly ran into the embroiderer who seemed to be that woman's friend.
She felt that the world was incredibly malicious towards her, and that traces of that woman were everywhere.
She gave a cold laugh: "I'd like to see what kind of good people that woman's friends are! And what kind of monstrosities they can come up with."
Hongluan squinted.
She vaguely guessed the identity of the person opposite her, and any goodwill she had shown at the time vanished: "I'm sorry, I'm the shop's top embroiderer. I have the right to refuse customers. I won't take your order."
