When Zhou Lijun figured out what happened, she saw that Man Bao's eyes lit up, and then ran down to tell Uncle Wu and the others the good news.
Wu Wulang and the others were all very happy, and even when they were happy, they felt regretful, "It would be great if my uncle is still alive, and our family will become an official."
Liu Liulang glanced at the meat on the chopping board and said, "Li Jun, go and tell Man Bao that we will treat them to this meal."
Zhou Lijun said: "Sister-in-law said no, it was Bai Shan who paid for it, so we can give you a discount."
Wu Wulang always cared about money, so he heard the words, "Then save it, and buy some vegetables and meat to go home and celebrate tomorrow."
He sighed and said: "I managed to earn a little money and spent it all. I guess Man Bao doesn't have much money left. When the fourth brother comes back, how can I explain to him?"
Liu Liulang didn't take it seriously, "Let's be honest, the fourth brother has to understand, at least we all survived, right?"
Wu Wulang said: "It's easy for you to say, but I have to go home. When my parents ask, what should I say?"
During this period of time, he did some calculations, including the restaurants, and Man Bao's.
It was found that Manbao made a lot more money than them, but it should have been almost spent.
He estimated that she spent almost the same amount of money for the consultation fees and rewards for outpatient visits, including what was given in the palace, and the money for selling flowers.
Wu Wulang has a special feeling, "I always feel that Manbao can't save money. She earns quite a lot, but it seems that she can't keep the money."
The four members of the old Zhou family nodded together, deeply convinced, "Then fifth brother, can you take the money from Man Bao and keep it?"
Liu Liulang was discouraged, "Forget it, Man Bao is the most like a father in this way, the money in her hand, unless she is willing, no one can take the money from her."
The people in the box on the second floor were also talking. Man Bao poured tea for everyone and asked Yin He, "Is the military disaster in Jiannan Road serious?"
Yin Yu said: "I asked my father, and my father said that the war ended very quickly. Although some defeated troops scattered into the countryside, the main force has been gathered by the Western Army. Nothing to be afraid of."
He paused and said, "But war casualties are inevitable."
Seeing her asking such detailed questions, Ji Hao couldn't help asking: "Why, you want to go back to Mianzhou?"
Man Bao took a look at Bai Shanhou and said, "It's about the same, I have to go back to celebrate the New Year."
Ji Hao said: "It's okay to live in the capital. It snows in winter, so it's hard to travel."
Bai Shan glanced at him, frowned slightly, changed the subject and said, "Master Ji is going to study in the Imperial College?"
Ji Hao muffledly responded.
Originally, the family didn't plan to let him study in the Imperial College so early. They felt that his temperament was not stable, and they planned to wait until his personality calmed down after getting engaged or married before going to the Imperial College to study.
But now Ji Xiang felt that he would not be able to stay in this position for long, and with Ji Xiang's official position, it was obvious that he could not favor Ji Hao to enter Guozi School, so he enrolled early.
Even Ji Xiang didn't ask him to wait until the beginning of next spring to enroll, but wrapped Kong up to offer wine for a few days and stuffed him in.
He didn't realize there was anything wrong with this, but Bai Shan's eyes darkened, and he began to think about it.
Even Feng Zongping couldn't help but look at Yi Ziyang, thinking about it.
Man Bao and Bai Erlang looked at this, then turned their heads to look at that, looked at each other, then shrugged together, bowed their heads, ate their snacks and ignored them.
Although there were some quarrels, everyone still had a good time overall.
After they had a meal, they took their leave and went home.
Mrs. Liu at home also knew about the posthumous gift. She heard about it when she went to Master Wei to talk about Xiang's brother today. She was happy when she came back and drank a glass of wine.
Mrs. Zheng burned incense and sacrificed to Bai Qi from a distance, and then went back to the house to wipe away her tears. Obviously, she also had a lot of feelings.
"Master Wei said that both Xiang Chao and Xiang Mingxue have been sent back to the dungeon. Xiang Chao can come out at any time. It's no problem if you want to see them, but it will take some time for Xiang Mingxue to come out." Liu The old lady was a little bit drunk at the moment, and said with a smile: "Although Xiang Mingxue assassinated the king of Yizhou, he failed in the first place, and secondly, it is justifiable, so Mr. Tang will not be executed, but he should be killed." exile."
She whispered: "After all, the Queen Mother is still here."
"How could his legs be exiled?" Man Bao rolled his eyes and asked, "What if there are many people begging for mercy?"
Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "You can try it. I heard what Mr. Wei said. The Queen Mother is seriously ill. There may be a pardon a year ago, except for those on death row."
Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other, and both had some ideas.
Pardons can also be divided into several situations, such as exile, after the pardon, it may be changed to confinement or confiscation of slaves and maidservants; while the latter may be directly released as common people.
And some officials and nobles were demoted to common people. Once they were pardoned, it was possible to restore a little bit of title or official position.
Although the Great Jin Dynasty had only two dynasties, it was pardoned several times, which was almost always the case.
Then, Bai Shan, Bai Erlang and Man Bao started to blow all kinds of wind.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang began to sing together in the school to give Feng Zongping, Ji Hao, Yin or others a briefing, telling them how rich the Xiang family was before, how kind they were to the tenants and the local people, and how it would be if they were in trouble. Hard to survive.
Everyone is not very interested in the front, but they are very interested in the revenge of Mingxue, especially how he contacted the righteous men among the victims to assassinate the King of Yizhou.
Seeing this, Bai Shan combined the storybook they took out from Man Bao, and made up the ups and downs of the revenge of the Xiang family. It was magnificent but soul-stirring, and fascinated all the teenagers.
Then when I heard that such a hero was not only broken by the king of Yizhou, but also sentenced to exile, they felt sorry for each other, so they went back to blow the wind on the dining table with their father or grandfather. If the wind was not strong enough, they would tell the story to the brothers. Sisters, pester their mothers or grandmas to blow pillow wind.
The wind was too strong. When the emperor was looking through the papers one day, he found more than a dozen papers for pleading with Ming Xue. , and saw the prince who was accompanying him for dinner also said: "Father, the brothers of the Xiang family are also the sufferers. After all, everyone in the family is gone, so why not let them go."
The queen also said: "Let it go, don't let people publicize it, the queen mother probably won't pay attention now."
It's okay to let it go, although it's against the law, but it can be merciful outside the law, but... "Why do you all think of pleading for brother Xiang's family?"
The prince took it for granted and said: "Zhou Man begged me, I feel that she has done a lot for treating the queen mother, and she doesn't ask for any other rewards, only this, then reward her."
