The daily life of the little princess of the royal group

Facing such a conscious good person!

Mingyue naturally wouldn't refuse. Zhizhi and Taotao quickly stood up and gave their seats to the biangbiang noodle shop owner. "Sister-in-law, what did you just say? What did you say?"

The boss looked left and right, but saw that no one was paying attention to what was happening here (although many people were secretly observing).

"I'm from the same hometown as the previous prefect. His hometown is right behind my parents-in-law's house. It's very run-down."

"His parents live there. The prefect gives them fifty coins a month, and they show off in the village every day!"

Although Mingyue's daily transactions were based on "liang", she also knew that ordinary people, not to mention those with families, even the poorest families would have to spend at least one liang of silver a year.

This one or two taels of silver would average out to more than one hundred coins per month.

The fifty cents given by the former prefect was at most half of what was needed to maintain his parents' minimum standard of living.

Logically speaking, his parents are old and should be supported by their only son. Why is he only giving so little?

Perhaps she saw Mingyue's confusion, so the Roujiamo lady explained, "His parents usually farm a little, and they have enough for food and daily necessities."

"But...but their son, whom they raised with great difficulty, has become a prefect. Why is he still so stingy with his family?"

Isn’t it that poor families send their children to school so that they can improve their situation one day and live a more comfortable life in the second half of their lives?

How come their sons have become prefects now, but they are still farming in their fifties and sixties?

"Alas, that's all in the past."

After all, it's someone else's business and they don't know much about it, so they can only say something else to divert their attention.

"what?"

"My princess, you may not know that a few months ago, during the harvest season, the two elders became ill from overwork. Seeing that the crops they had worked so hard for a year had yielded nothing, they became so angry that they fell ill!"

"And then? Are they okay now? Do they need to see a doctor? The imperial physician we have with us is very skilled..."

Before Mingyue could finish her words, she was hugged by the old lady. "The princess is really a good child, but her parents were unlucky and passed away before you came."

"How could this be!" Ming Yang had never expected such a thing to happen. Then he suddenly thought, "Did the former prefect send someone to come and see?"

The aunt and sister-in-law stopped talking and their eyes were wandering.

"I did... but... maybe the elders were reluctant to treat it."

It turned out that when the former prefect learned that his parents had suddenly fallen into a coma, he quickly rushed to the clinic where they were.

But when he learned that it would cost thousands of taels of silver to save his parents' lives and that they might not be cured, he hesitated.

The two elders have heard all kinds of rumors over the past decade or so.

People said their son treated them harshly, but they didn't believe it.

People said that their son was a high-ranking official and lived in a wealthy family in the city, and it would be unfilial not to take them along. However, they happily said that they liked life in the countryside.

People say that when you get old you should enjoy your life with your grandchildren, but they say they are not old yet, they are energetic and like to work.

Now, at this moment when their son hesitated, they closed their eyes helplessly and let the ghosts and gods take them away.

After hearing what the old lady, who knew the inside story said, Mingyue and Mingyang didn't know what to say for a moment.

Mingyang read the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty and often sat in on Jiang Hetang's meetings.

He knew that the salary of prefects in all places in the Great Zhou was a uniform one hundred and five taels of silver.

Add to that the subsidies for remote areas, like Longcheng, which is not as wealthy as Jiangnan, and all the extra money added up, there would be at least 150 taels a year.

He earns one hundred and fifty taels a year, but only gives one tael to his parents... This is hard to judge.

When Minghao came back, he looked at the solemn brother and sister in front of him and thought that he had been out for too long and made them angry.

"Hey, big brother, sister, I, I'm not out playing, look, all these are treasures I bought specially for you~"

"I just passed by a bookstall with lots of ancient books. Big Brother, do you think there's anything you like?"

"Sister, look, this big basket is for you, with food and toys..."

No matter what Minghao said, the two of them still looked pensive. Zhizhi pulled him and whispered, "Second Young Master, the eldest young master and the young lady are thinking about something. They are not angry with you."

Minghao then asked in detail about what had just happened. He said with disgust, "What a stingy person! What a miser! He's simply a mean-spirited and selfish person!"

"Yeah..." Mingyue responded perfunctorily, "Shall we go somewhere else and ask around?"

"Yes, sister, I'll take you there. I've just asked. There's one in the north of the city..." Minghao took his sister's hand and got on the carriage.

At the end of the day, they had a good understanding of what the people thought of the prefect.

He is labeled as being grateful, a little stingy, mean, and not very filial.

Of course, the most important point, the common point mentioned by everyone is, "poor!"

At the dinner table, the "two sides" exchanged information.

Zhao Yunshan: "Today, we found nothing. Luo Wenhao's family is truly destitute. Even the charcoal he uses is the worst kind."

Mingyue and the others also told what they had found out.

After hearing this, Jiang Mengrou almost threw her chopsticks to the ground.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, filial piety has always been promoted first. Almost everything Luo Wenhao did touched on Jiang Mengrou's sore spot.

"Mom, please calm down." Mingyue gently patted Jiang Mengrou's chest.

"Mom is not angry, not angry, I just can't stand seeing people treating their parents like this." Jiang Mengrou explained quickly for fear of scaring the child.

"Yeah, that's right, it's so strange!" Mingyue said again, "Dad, can you take us with you to interrogate Lord Luo tomorrow?"

"Of course! But you have to stay aside and don't get close." Zhao Yunshan said in advance that he would not let them stay with Luo Wenhao.

"it is good!"

On the second day, in order to make everyone kneel and kowtow every time they saw him, Mingyue dressed up as a young man and followed behind his two brothers.

With a fair face and a jade crown, and a chubby little cheek, she looks so blessed that she attracts many people's attention.

"Look, what handsome young masters there are."

"I'm afraid in a few years, he'll become every young girl's dream lover."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"I haven't seen it before."

"These are the two young masters of General Zhao's family. However, it seems that one of them is a princess. The third one in front of us is probably a child of a relative."

"That makes sense. He is indeed the child of a noble man. He is so majestic."

Mingyue walked in front, feeling very happy as she listened to everyone's praises.
