Chapter 487 Why
Mrs. Lin had to stay to deal with the aftermath. Wen Qing'er was concerned about the drinking capacity of her elder brothers, so she ordered the kitchen to cook more hangover soup, so as not to wake up in the afternoon and even delay dinner.

Seeing Wen Zhaozhen lying on the wine table with a flushed face, half-opening his mouth, and unconsciously making a slight snoring sound from his mouth, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but frowned in disgust.

Then without even looking at Wen Zhaozhen, he directly asked Guanshi Zhao at the door and the servants beside him to pull him away.

On the contrary, these half-grown teenagers were sitting upright on the ground. Although their faces were a little red, their eyes were still clear.

"But you're still awake? Qing'er asked someone to cook you hangover soup. I'll ask someone to help you go back first. After a while, each of you will drink a big bowl, and you won't have a headache in the afternoon."

Lin Duo hurriedly stood up and said to Lin Shi: "Don't worry about my aunt, the three of us can go back by ourselves, but Cousin Yishuo has to ask my aunt to worry more, he is younger and a little too drunk."

Mrs. Lin quickly nodded in response, seeing the three of them walking far away together, she felt relieved and did not send anyone to follow.

Lin Duo's drinking capacity was trained with his second uncle who was a hero in the army, and the third uncle who went all over the world. He just drank so much, but he didn't feel anything at all.

On the contrary, he kept adding more wine to his uncle during the dinner, which made uncle drink too much and saved others from drinking.

The three of them walked slowly, they were still in high spirits, and they drank a lot of wine. Now they only felt hot all over, and without their cloaks on, they faced the cold wind and snow, feeling a rare comfort.

The three of them were quiet for a moment, as if they were still thinking about what Wen Zhaozhen said just now, but none of them spoke first, and they didn't listen to Lin Duo's leisurely question until they were almost at the gate of the courtyard.

"You study hard to become an official, why?"

He Ming thought for a while and said, "Of course it's for the sake of the common people, and for the benefit of the people of Daqi."

"After the war with the Hu State, the corvee tax became increasingly heavy. The people worked so hard to grow food for a year, and what they handed over was not enough for their own family's rations."

"My grandfather used to be the magistrate of a small town in the north. There was not so much poverty before. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The officials loved the people like their sons. The people naturally loved the officials, but now it's different."

"On behalf of my grandfather, I went to the places where he worked. Most of these places are dilapidated. Most of the people are thin and hungry, have no land, and even sell their children and daughters in order to get some silver to survive."

"And those wealthy households will always be wealthy households, and the official land is also rich. Daqi will eventually be destroyed in the hands of these individuals." He Ming shook his head and sighed.

Wen Yizhen smiled: "I am a little different from Brother Ming. It is important to be righteous to the world. Apart from these, I just want to protect my mother and sister."

"I regard my mother and sister as my life, and I also know how hard it is for them to be women. If possible, I will let them live happily. For this reason, it is okay to take some risks and make some choices. No hesitation."

"It's just that I still know in my heart what I should do and what I shouldn't do, and I will definitely not do those criminal things for my own selfish desires."

I saw Lin Duo took a deep look at his cousin, with a look of approval in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Then I hope that my younger brother and Ming brother can get what they want. Throw your fists and kicks and make your own career!"

He Ming patted Lin Duo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are cunning, after hearing what we said, you are dumb!"
