After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

Hu Wei suddenly woke up and subconsciously kowtowed to apologize: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Emperor Sheng put down his cinnabar brush and rubbed the back of his neck.

Zhong Ling held him down with moderate force, "Your Majesty, please pay attention to the dragon's body."

Emperor Sheng hummed, then looked at Hu Wei coldly, "Hu Wei, since you don't want a chance to live, then I will grant you your wish!"

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!" Hu Wei wanted to kill his son.

If Hu Ying hadn't been causing trouble all day long, the emperor wouldn't have noticed him, nor would he have found out what he was doing in secret.

Emperor Sheng leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and looked at him, "Just that one sentence?"

Zhong Ling seemed to remind him, "Master Hu, how much silver did your family take from the national treasury? Can you make it up?"

"I have to make up for it even if I sell everything I have."

Hu Wei's face was ashen, and he said tremblingly, "Yes, I will definitely make it up to you."

Emperor Sheng raised his eyelids and said, "Two days."

Zhong Ling took over the conversation, "Sir Hu, His Majesty Kane, I will give your family two days to make up the difference."

"Master Hu, you have to think carefully, is your life more important, or is your money more important?"

Hu Wei's face turned pale. "Yes."

Of course, life is more important.

Emperor Sheng looked at him with disgust. If he hadn't kept Hu Wei to test all parties, he would have gotten rid of him long ago.

……

When Cheng Zishi learned from his followers that the Hu family was selling off various things, he had just agreed on the lease with the Mu family.

The two parties agreed that the Mu family would pay two taels of silver in rent to Cheng Zishi every month and must keep the house in good condition.

The Mu family knew that the rent was very cheap. Two taels of silver was very expensive for them, but such a good house could not be rented for two taels of silver a month.

"Mr. Cheng, thank you so much." Old Man Mu didn't know what to say except thank you.

Cheng Zishi laughed and teased, "Just think of it as me doing a good deed."

"I have no shortage of money or houses, so just live here with peace of mind."

When the Cheng family was confiscated and executed, the emperor gave all the Cheng family's property to him.

Even if he didn't have the Cheng family's assets, he still had a lot of assets of his own.

Old Man Mu rubbed his hands, his face flushed red, and he couldn't say anything nice.

"Uncle, do you have a lot of money too?" Mu Baobao asked curiously while lying on Cheng Zishi's lap. "My little brother's family also has a lot of money."

“Why are you all rich?”

Cheng Zishi gently pinched the tip of her nose and explained good-naturedly, "Because our ancestors worked hard."

"There's also luck and other factors involved, so our generation will be very rich, understand?"

Mu Baobao didn't quite understand. The only thing he understood was, "Uncle, what you mean is, if I work hard now, my descendants will have plenty of money?"

Cheng Zishi almost laughed out loud, "That's about right."

Baobao's idea is correct in some aspects, but the premise is that she can make money.

It seems that there is no need to worry about the baby not being able to earn money.

She only earned a few thousand taels.

Mu Baobao clenched his fists and encouraged himself, "Then I will work hard to make money and make my descendants rich."

Her childish words made everyone present laugh.

"Baby, work hard and make your descendants rich."

"Baby helps us make money, and we also want to be rich."

Mu Baobao patted his chest and said, "I will help you make money."

Everyone laughed, the baby was so cute.

Cheng Zishi then whispered to his followers, "What's going on with the Hu family?"

The attendant whispered, "Master, after Hu Wei left the Qingli Restaurant, Lord Hu was summoned to the palace."

"When Lord Hu came out of the palace, he began to sell off all his possessions, apparently to collect money."

"Also, Hu Wei was beaten half to death by Lord Hu himself and locked up."

"It is said that it is related to what you said at the Qingli Restaurant."

Cheng Zishi didn't understand something. "The Emperor knew that the Hu family was secretly embezzling money from the national treasury, so why is he exposing it now?"

This is obviously wrong.

The attendant said, "Perhaps it is related to the increasingly serious fight for the throne recently."

"There are more and more adult princes. The former and harem are all working hard, but there is only one position, so some princes are getting anxious."

Cheng Zishi immediately made a lot of guesses, "The Emperor is using Hu Wei to crack down on some of the restless princes."

"You should pay more attention to the various aspects of Rongdu recently."

If his guess was correct, the water in Rongdu would become more and more muddy.

The attendant replied "yes" and retreated.

……

night.

The entire Mu family gathered in the courtyard where Old Man Mu and his wife lived to discuss things.

With trembling hands, Zhu placed six thousand taels of silver and the jade pendant on the table.

"This jade pendant was given to the baby by a noble young master, so it is the baby's private property. Do you have any objection?" She swallowed, her voice trembling.

No one in the family has any objections.

The adults' eyes were all wide open and their brains were not thinking. Is it so profitable to sell mountain products?

So how can they repay the animals in the mountains?

Zhu carefully placed the jade pendant aside, not daring to breathe. "These six thousand taels..."

"No, I can't go on. It's just too much silver. My heart trembles just looking at it."

"Old man, come here."

Father Mu was not much better, he could only force himself to cheer up, "Such a large sum of money was all earned by the baby."

"For family use." Mu Baobao said obediently, "Master, I earned it for family use."

Father Mu patted her head and said to the family with a stern face, "The baby is good to us, we can't enjoy it for nothing."

My family members all agreed, saying, "You can't enjoy it for nothing."

Father Mu took a few puffs of his pipe and calmed down. "This is it."

"We'll keep one hundred taels and deposit the rest in the bank. We'll use our earnings to cover our daily expenses."

Rongdu’s expenses are too high, and the children are in school, so we have to prepare some money.

One hundred taels of silver, this was something he had never dared to imagine before, and it was also silver that they would never be able to use in their lifetime.

Now, I don’t know how long it will last.

"Old man, isn't one hundred taels a bit too much?" Zhu took a breath, "This is one hundred taels."

Old Man Mu calculated the bills, "Pingping and the others must have received tuition fees when they go to the Imperial College, right?"

"The tuition fees for the Imperial College must be expensive, at least ten or so taels of silver, maybe even more."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Mu family members collectively gasped. Is the tuition fee of the Imperial College so expensive?

"Is this true?" Zhu's face turned pale. "This...isn't the Imperial College founded by the Emperor? And why do they need so much tuition?"

Mu Lao said, "Even if the Imperial College is run by the Emperor, it can't be free."

"Oh, these are not important. What's important is, are Pingping and his clothes and schoolbags ready?"

"They are going to the Imperial College tomorrow, right?"
