Chapter 1239： get it right

   Xiao An felt that he had been wrongly killed. Seeing that his fourth uncle had succumbed to his father's lewd power, he suddenly felt hopeless in life, so he could only let go of his throat and let out a dry howl twice, hoping that someone would save him again.

So, Mu Yangling and Xiao Xia hurried to hear the news, but when they saw Fan Zijin who was furious, they were as cowardly as Qi Haoran.

The three adults stood by and watched Fan Zijin send the five children to the ancestral hall to punish him for kneeling, "Think about where you are wrong, when you realize your mistakes and when will they come out!"

Qi Haoran met the children's pitiful eyes and said weakly, "Aren't we going to the palace to celebrate tomorrow..."

Fan Zijin said quietly: "I didn't stop them from going, but if they go with injuries, it's none of my business."

Qi Haoran immediately closed his mouth, and Mu Yangling looked at the five children and sighed, "This is a typical joy and sorrow."

The children were stunned for a moment, and were quickly escorted to kneel outside the ancestral hall.

The five children knelt together to reflect on themselves, looked around and asked in a low voice, "We shouldn't run against our younger brothers, but what does this have to do with Brother Xiao An?"

Xiao An pouted.

The little lion sighed and said maturely: "Who told us to listen to Brother Xiao An at ordinary times, he is the oldest, and the second uncle blames him for not discouraging us."

The three little ones looked at Xiao An together, their eyes full of sympathy and pity, "Brother Xiao An, I'm sorry!"

Xiao An snorted twice, but his heart began to calm down.

Father just blamed him for not fulfilling his elder brother's duty to take care of his younger brothers. This time it was indeed his fault. Although he was not convinced, Xiao An had already admitted his punishment.

Because the child was punished, the palace was quiet all afternoon.

Mu Yangling and the commander of the Xiao Xia clan packed up the things they were going to bring tomorrow and felt that such a quiet afternoon was really rare, so they took the pearl and went to the lake to see the lotus flowers.

At this time, the lotus flowers were in full bloom, and the lake was pink, which was very beautiful. Baozhu, who was still a little worried at first, calmed down when she saw the lotus flowers, hugged her mother's neck and asked in a low voice, "Mother, when will the second uncle forgive my brothers? "

Mu Yangling touched her little face and said, "Don't worry, your second uncle is reluctant to punish them too hard, so he will let them go in a while."

Fan Zijin scolded Qi Haoran for pampering his children, but he himself was no different.

And he used to find reasons for the children, I'm afraid it's not as good as Qi Haoran, but he has always considered himself to be a strict father, they should not expose him, lest he become angry and punish a few children in the end. ?

Fan Zijin was really reluctant to bear a few children to suffer, so after a quarter of an hour, he asked the servants to ask the five children if they knew what was wrong and what was wrong!

No matter if it is three big ones or two small ones, they admit their mistakes very quickly, and they speak righteously. One said that he should not carry his younger brothers to run around regardless of the danger, and the other said that he should not be bothered by his brother regardless of safety. Feifei, another said that as an older brother, he failed to take care of and educate his younger brothers, making them do dangerous things...

So Fan Zijin asked them to kneel for another quarter of an hour, reciting the words in his heart twenty times before taking them to the study to continue their education.

The children outside who were often punished to kneel for an afternoon or a half night expressed their envy, jealousy and hatred for these boys.

Although they were educated by the adults the day before, the children were still happy and unaffected when they left for the palace the next day.

Early in the morning, Xiao An got up and took his younger brother on a pony and ran to Prince Rong's house. The tiger head and the little lion came out with the little leopard and the pearl that could not open their eyes. to pull his own foal.

Xiaofu didn't need his brother to plug in, he climbed in by himself, found a comfortable position in the spacious carriage, lay down and continued to sleep.

Qi Xiuyuan was very happy because he recovered the country without a single soldier. After the Xixia envoy left, he waved his hand and set a recovery day as a festival. He took three days off at this time every year to celebrate.

This year is the first year.

A courtier sent a letter to hold a state banquet, and the monarch and his ministers were happy together.

However, Qi Xiuyuan decisively refused after seeing the spies reporting the situation of Zhongxing Mansion, Xiliang Mansion and other four mansions that had been recovered.

This time, the lost land was recovered peacefully, although the military disaster was avoided, but when Xixia withdrew, it also took all the property that could be taken away.

If it wasn't for Daqi's toughness, I'm afraid they would loot the people before they left, so the newly recovered four houses have no public money, and the common people are so poor that they only have one set of clothes for going out.

If you are so poor, then you can't help?

Both construction and support need money, where does the money come from, from the national treasury and the internal treasury!

The money of the monarch and ministers playing together is enough for the relief funds of the people of the whole government, so Qi Xiuyuan said very stingly that the state banquet would not be held, but this is a happy event. Civilians can organize programs on their own, while the yamen is responsible for security issues.

As soon as these words came out, the big businessmen in the capital carried out various product promotion activities one after another. Some good people also gave rice and porridge to do good deeds. Mu Yangling set up donation boxes all over the capital to let the eunuchs and maids in the palace. He personally guarded, saying that all the donations will be donated to the recovered lost land to help local people rebuild their homes.

During the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wen Sheng and Wu Wei were weak, even a 70-year-old man and a five-year-old child would sing about losing their homeland, and all they wanted was the integrity of the country.

People who pass by, even if their families are poor, will take out a few pennies and throw them into the donation box when they see the misery of the lost compatriots painted on the wooden boards.

The common people threw it in with a penny, and the rich merchants sent them box by box. Even the maids and eunuchs in the palace took out their own money and put money into it, and finally developed into palace concubines.

The officials and noble families had nothing to do when they saw it. Even the wealthy businessmen of the common people and the ladies in the palace donated. If they didn't say something, wouldn't they be stabbed in the spine?

They can only send money in.

Not only Mu Yangling, but also Qi Xiuyuan opened their mouths in shock.

In response to the questioning from the eyes of the three brothers Qi Xiuyuan, Mu Yangling solemnly pointed to the sky and swore: "I really didn't expect this, I just saw that the rich businessmen were doing a lot of activities, and the people who went to collect rice were living a good life. It's not very difficult. Thinking that the people in the West are eating leaves now, I thought that the rice should be transported to the West instead of being scattered in the capital. That's why I asked the Queen's Wife to send me a few eunuchs and palace maids to go out to raise funds. Really I definitely didn't expect so many people to donate!"

Qi Xiuyuan asked suspiciously: "Then why don't the people from the palace go, but let the maids and eunuchs go instead?"

Mu Yangling said embarrassedly: "You also know that there are few servants in my house. There are several people in the imperial city of the capital, the inner city, and the outer city. I can't recruit so many people from my house. Anyway, the palace There are many eunuchs and palace maids, and they must also want to go out and see the blue sky and white clouds outside, so..."

Qi Xiuyuan's face darkened. Where is the blue sky and white clouds different?

said as if he had abused them.

"Isn't that someone from the yamen?"

Mu Yangling muttered: "The people are afraid when they see the official errand, and the things that enter the yamen may not be delivered to the West..."
