As soon as Zhuzhu turned around and saw them, she immediately struggled to the ground, ran over, put her little head on her legs, and pushed them back into the house.

Both of them followed her strength and entered the room. Tuanzi pushed them to sit on the chairs at the back, and then said to them: "You guys are pretty, don't go out, don't be seen by others!" Because there’s a bad old grandpa out there!”

The queen asked: "Bad old grandpa?"

Tuanzi nodded fiercely: "Yes, he has no teeth, and he still loves children as much as adults!"

Written all over her little face was "I'm just asking you if you are afraid!"

The Queen immediately patted her chest and said delicately: "It's so scary. Has Zhuzhu seen him?"

Tuanzi shook his head, "No, but Xi Zhuzhu saw a mother. The mother treated Zhuzhu as a child who was messing with her, and the bad guys even beat her..."

Sheng Minglin hurriedly stepped forward and explained. With a little hint, the Queen and Princess Duan understood in their hearts. It was hard to explain, so they could only follow Zhuzhu and said: "It's too scary. How could there be such a scary old man?"

Tuanzi nodded fiercely: "Yes, it's too scary. I'm just one minus minus one time away from grabbing the pearls! I'm one minus one away from losing the Qin Guo Guo! One is because we look like Gao Gao, it's so delicious. ! It’s a matter of course that I can’t help it.”

Tuanzi sighed, tilted his little head, and said seriously: "Being good-looking means you have a lot of troubles! Who doesn't like good-looking people? Bad old men also like them, and so do bad guys!"

As she spoke, she turned around in circles, looking at them one by one. Every time she looked at one, her little brows would wrinkle and she would become worried.

When she saw Emperor Mingxi, she paused, thought for a while and said: "Uncle Huang, if you don't understand, just ask Uncle Huang, isn't she your wife? Or you can ask Si Guo Guo. , isn’t he your son? Just ask Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu is yours..."

She didn't know what to call this kind of relationship in reverse, so she thought about it and said, "Zhuzhu is your treasure!"

Emperor Mingxi: "..."

What can he say.

Are you retorting that I am obviously good-looking and delicious?I can't afford to lose this person!

He could only say: "You are right."

Everyone suppressed their laughter.

Then Prince Duan quickly changed the subject: "Zhu Zhu'er, have you seen that there is an ice sculpture in our yard?"

Tuanzi's attention was finally drawn away: "Is the ice sculpture system okay?"

Prince Duan smiled and said, "It's fun. Zhuzhu'er, drink some water and daddy will take you out to play."

Tuanzi nodded obediently, drank a few sips of hot water, and not forgetting to tell the emperor's wife and mother not to go out, so he went out to play with his father.

Over there, Zhou Luli, who had just returned, came in to report.

The Li family is a local wealthy businessman, a big family with four generations under one roof. The head of the family, Li Baisui, died, but the family has not been separated yet. His eldest son and second son have died, and the younger son is over 70 years old. He is probably without his father. Longevity, so at this moment, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren are working hard to show their filial piety by finding boys and girls each.

There are not twelve boys and girls but twelve pairs of boys and girls, and they all have to be beautiful. At this time, more than a dozen have been found, but because they will not be buried until Qiqi has completed the rituals and built the cemetery, so this time The son is still well taken care of and is not in danger for the moment.

As for the source of the children, some were bought locally or found in neighboring counties. I have not heard of them being stolen.

Zhou Luli said: "I briefly inquired and found that the Li family has a good reputation. Although they have not built bridges or paved roads, they have not bullied others or committed crimes. The whole family tradition seems to be pretty good, so I took the next one." I went to see Li Laosan for his waistband, and he only said that he was not allowed to be buried alive, so he let everyone go. Seeing what he meant, I seemed to have guessed something, so I asked people to keep an eye on him." Sure enough, no one came out. At that time, new news came again.

Li Laosan is indeed a smart man. He guessed the identity of their group. Because Zhuzhu was there, he guessed that it was either Prince Duan's Mansion or the Emperor who came. He was almost scared to death. Their family was united and discussed it. , immediately sent all the children back without taking back the money they had at that time, and even gave some gifts to the family.

Then the Li family spread the news, saying that in a peaceful and prosperous age, auspiciousness was coming, that their family was grateful and dedicated to doing good, and that it was impossible to sacrifice human lives for burial. It was all spread nonsense from outside. It was also said that in order to pray for Mrs. Li, starting from today, every city There is a road offering at the door. Anyone who prays a hundred times to the old man will be given ten pounds of charcoal; if he prays a thousand times, he will be given ten pounds of cotton; if he prays ten thousand times, he will be given a cotton coat.

It’s impossible to really count these thousands of voices, but they are actually doing good deeds.

Zhou Luli said: "The great-eldest grandson of the Li family, his name is Li Xunqi. He is a civil servant. He is 21 years old. He is the most outstanding person among the fourth generation. He is very decisive. He proposed this method and they discussed it. Well, giving up at least half of the family wealth to do this is very courageous as a strong man would cut off his wrist... The specific reason is that they didn't tell their subordinates about the identity speculation, but Wuqi's people helped to check it out. Although the descendants below had complaints, But it wasn’t serious.”

In other words, some of their descendants are ineffective, but none are too bad.

Emperor Mingxi nodded.

Sheng Minglin couldn't help but said: "They are a very good family."

They can be considered a very lucky family.

As long as they dare to jump around, they will become the villains when the decree of sacrifice is issued, but in this way, even if they do not really give up half of their family wealth, as long as they help people, this matter will be considered a thing of the past for them.

Moreover, this Li Xunqi has a reputation in the heart of the emperor. If he can make such a decision and have the ability to influence the family and make them sacrifice their interests, then this person must be a capable minister when he becomes an official. And such a united and knowledgeable family , and it can still thrive for several generations.

So at night, Sheng Minglin started writing, using the pen name "Feng Ge" and narrating this story in the tone of a passerby, which was regarded as an introduction and paved the way for the subsequent decree.

Then he forced Huo Chenzhao to write an article for him.

I have never seen Huo Chenzhao write an article in this life. It is absolutely impossible for such an amazing genius to want to be lazy.

Huo Chenzhao could only sit down and start writing.

Lu Wuqi was scratching his head and writing a note beside him.

In fact, Lu Wuqi's level is better than Sheng Minglin thought. After all, sometimes you have to disguise yourself to find out information. You might have to pretend to be a scholar one day, so you must be able to do two strokes.

It's just that after not using it for a long time and being in that rough environment, it becomes more and more unfamiliar.

So Sheng Minglin wrote a random statement first and asked him to write it like that.

He just wrote two lines. He had finished writing an article with the same two lines. Sheng Minglin smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Lu Wuqi said: "Do I have to learn it from scratch? I don't think I can write as well as you."

"You don't need to imitate me," Sheng Minglin said: "You just need to express things clearly. It's okay if the words are rough."

"How can that be done? This is for the Crown Prince to see! Maybe the Emperor can see it too!" Lu Wuqi said: "How about you write this article for me first, and then I will review the Four Books and Five Classics again? , no, memorize it several times...it has to be beautifully written, quoting scriptures and so on, right?"

Sheng Minglin smiled and said: "No need."

"Why isn't it necessary?" Lu Wuqi asked, "Isn't it true that people want to make progress and study first?" (End of Chapter)
