Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"So. Ke'er's parents, brother and sister-in-law have been working on their own all the time. Not only did Nanqing Palace not give you a tael of silver, but they also didn't use a penny from you?"

"Yes, my lord, the cloth made by mother and sister-in-law and Qiu'er's female workers are very good. You can sell a lot of broken silver in the market. These can be used to buy some rice noodles and vegetables, and occasionally some meat and eggs, clothes. All made by myself."

Defang looked at the people sitting next to him, "You two old men, Baili and Ke'er took you to a mansion in the city and brought you a lot of silver taels, just to let you enjoy the blessings. I remember that when Baili and Ke'er got married, they were alone The king also sent a small box of gold, which is enough for you to live a very good life, why do you need to grow your own food and make clothes?"

The old man replied tremblingly, "Return. Reply.. Lord. These are all Baili. But they. We can't. Can't use them. The old woman and I are physically strong. We can support ourselves. We keep all the money. Give it to Hobo."

Looking at Keer's family, Defang sighed in her heart, and nodded, "Baili and Haobo are really lucky, to have a family like Keer and you, the two old people are indeed very healthy, but don't be too If you are too tired, let Baili, Ke'er, Xiaopeng, Xiaofu, and Qiu'er pay more filial piety to you, and enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren."

"Yes. Thank you. Thank you, my lord. My lord."

"Two old men, don't be nervous, the lonely king isn't that scary, is he? Hehehe"

"Yes. Grassroots. No. Not nervous"

Defang smiled, "Haobo, is the prince scary?"

"It's not scary, my lord is good." Haobo hugged Defang, and Defang patted him and said, "Haobo, someday let your grandpa take you to the palace. I miss you from Pu, Yu and Zong Gu. Go and play with them." .”

"En." Haobo nodded, and Defang asked, "Baili, what school does Haobo study in?"

"The thatched cottage outside Xinzheng Gate."

"Xinzhengmen? Thatched cottage? Then you're out of the city, isn't thatched cottage a primary school in a village outside the city?"

"Yes, my lord"

"How do you send your children to study outside the city? What can the thatched cottage in the village teach?"

"My lord, children, just learn to write and read."

"What is this, have you forgotten what the lonely king said to you? Haobo was rescued by the lonely king, and the lonely king arranged for him again. He will not go to the thatched cottage these few days. After three days, he will go directly to Taiyuan. Learn from the Hongxue Hall in the west to study."

"Hongxuetang?" Baili said, "My lord, there. Only the children of high-ranking officials and rich families can go there."

"Gu Wang said yes, so it's decided. Baili, children's reading can't be so casual. There are many learned people in Hongxuetang to teach, and there will be officials to give lectures. Gu Wang wants Haobo to learn the most and the best. , if you get the first place in the scientific examination in the future, then your hundred families will be the shining lintel."

"Thank you, my lord, little one. Little one."

"Okay, okay, like this again." Defang said with a smile, "Haobo, study hard, and you must take the scientific examination in the future, be a good official, and be filial to your grandparents, okay?"

"Okay" Haobo nodded

Defang sat in Baifu for more than half an hour, and returned to the Nanqing Palace with Baili. Concubine Di was leading Zigu out of the main hall, "Ma'am, do you want to go to the garden?"

"My lord, where have you been? I haven't seen you since I was together. Guangxiang said that you left the mansion."
