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

Shangguan Quan sighed, "Master Sang, you're not entirely right."

"In a large family, as long as their children don't make mistakes based on principle or do things they shouldn't do, they won't be expelled from the family."

"At most, life in the family is not so good."

"But it's better than most people."

Sang Ye, "...what you said is not suitable for Mu Pingping."

"His background is different from ours. You can't teach him like this."

Hua Yun agreed, "Third Brother, Young Master Sang is right. Mu Pingping's background is obvious, and it's different from ours, who come from a big family."

"With a background like Mu Pingping's, one must either climb up the ladder of status on their own or find someone to back them up."

"Usually, those who seek a patron are usually the top scorers or the top few in the imperial examinations, and then marry the daughter of a wealthy family."

Mu Pingping was stunned when he heard this. "You can even marry the daughter of a wealthy family?"

He had no dissatisfaction or resentment, nor did he feel unfair about his poor background.

He felt that his background was not bad. His family gave him enough love and also tried their best to ensure that he had everything he wanted.

If he is not satisfied with this, he is worse than an animal.

"Of course." Shangguan Quan crossed his legs and said with a smile, "Some large families have no sons, no legitimate sons or illegitimate sons, and they love their daughters very much. They will choose to find a new champion without any backing or background, who is one of the top students in the imperial examination."

"No marriage alliance?" Mu Pingping was a little dazed. "Don't big families always choose marriage alliances to consolidate their status?"

Shangguan Quan stretched out a finger and shook it gently, "No, no, no, the premise is that your family's prosperity can last long."

"If there is no son in the family, who will inherit the official position and property?"

"I can give the property to my daughter, but what about the official position? Can I rely on other family members? It may not work, and there is even the possibility of a falling out with me."

"It would be better to cultivate a son-in-law with no background."

"Just because of this kindness, the son-in-law will never dare to do anything he shouldn't do in his life, and he must treat the Yue family and their clan well."

Sang Ye took over the conversation and tried to detoxify himself again, "To put it simply, the higher one's status, the more they have to pay attention to their reputation and face."

"If your ingratitude is exposed, it won't just ruin your career; you might even be unable to recover for the rest of your life."

"It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. Who would want to live on coarse grains again after enjoying a good life?"

Mu Pingping understood everything after hearing this, "Is that so?"

"It's not ruled out that there are indeed ungrateful people," Hua Yun said. "One or two out of ten thousand people is already a lot."

"Don't listen to the stories. There are ungrateful people everywhere. Some of them divorce their grateful wives at the drop of a hat and kill their in-laws who helped them."

"That's impossible."

"The Yue family itself has strength and status. Divorcing a wife is not something you can do just because you want to, let alone other things."

"Even a fool wouldn't do such a thing."

Mu Pingping asked curiously, "Those ungrateful people will never have a good ending in the end?"

Hua Yun said, "There are also one or two who live to the end of their lives."

"However, most of the time, not long after the death of such a person, there will be a major disturbance in the family, and the family will eventually fall apart."

"If the eldest member of the family is ungrateful, selfish, and vicious, do you think the ones below him will be good?"

Mu Pingping thought about it and it made sense.

"Okay, that's it for now." Hua Yun said jokingly, "If we continue talking about this topic, we'll talk more and more."

"After all, there are millions of people in this world, and all kinds of strange things happen. There are also people who do evil and yet become good people in the eyes of others, and good people who become evil people in the eyes of others."

Mu Pingping understood this principle, as there were people like him in the village.

“It’s really nice to be out and about.”

He felt most deeply, "You can learn a lot in the Imperial College, but most of it is from books. Going out and walking around can help you understand more."

Sang Ye could best agree with this statement, because that was just how he was.

Before he met the baby, he only liked reading books, and all he thought about all day was getting everything he needed from reading.

After meeting the baby, he realized that there are many things that are not in books and can only be understood through personal experience.

"Are you done talking?" Baby Wood came over, waving his little paws. "Come on, let's take a walk around here."

Sang Ye and his companions smiled at each other and took Mu Baobao around the backyard of the county government office.

Mu Baobao and Zheng Xingguang walked in front hand in hand, exchanging a few words from time to time.

"This county government office is so big." Baby Mu stretched his little head to look here and there.

The backyard of the county government office is beautifully decorated, and you can't tell how luxurious it is if you don't pay attention.

The flowers and plants on both sides of the road look ordinary but are actually precious.

One of the flowers costs at least ten taels of silver, not to mention hundreds or thousands of taels.

These flowers bloom in a dazzling array, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"This golden-yellow flower is Camellia chrysantha." Hua Yun casually pointed at a flower. "It may not look particularly outstanding, but it's actually worth a few dozen taels of silver."

"Ordinary people... not the people in Xingzi Village, but those ordinary people on the street. If they can afford one or two taels of silver a month, it's already very good."

"If someone can earn one or two taels of silver a month, they will be envied by many people."

"But look at the county magistrate's backyard. Just around one road, there are so many precious flowers and plants. They must be worth tens of thousands of taels."

Mu Baobao had no idea how much tens of thousands of taels of silver were worth, so he just tilted his head to look at the flowers and plants.

"The flowers and plants are very beautiful. This is the first time I have seen so many colors and such beautiful flowers."

She squatted in front of an unfamiliar flower and stretched out her little paws to gently touch the petals of one of the flowers.

Mu Pingping took a deep breath. The county magistrate had embezzled a lot of money.

Sang Ye snorted coldly, "It's no surprise that this county magistrate can raise a niece like that."

"I guess his sister and brother-in-law are his public representatives, responsible for handling corruption, while he keeps himself clean."

"The baby likes it, let's move everyone back." Zheng Xingguang said.

Baby Mu shook his little head and said, "It's not good. The flowers and plants will be hurt."

"Baby, if you don't want them, these flowers and plants won't stay here anymore." Sang Ye said.

"When the next county magistrate takes office, he will definitely get rid of these flowers and plants, otherwise he will use them as leverage."

Mu Baobao asked, "Why do we need to deal with it?"

"These flowers and plants are so beautiful, can't they just stay here?"

"Besides, digging up the flowers and plants will hurt them a lot."
