Chapter 619: Wealth does not mean conscience
If it were not for the necessity of this trip, Mu Yihan would not be willing to leave the soft little cotton jacket.
When he thought that he would not be able to see his daughter for a few days, let alone hold her to sleep, he sighed in his heart.
But at this time, there was someone who was more sad than Mu Yihan.
Ah Li followed behind, holding the dried sweet potatoes that Cuicui had just dried, and grumbled like a wronged wife.
"I don't know how long it will take for us to return from this trip to the south, two months? Three months?"
"Cuicui just came to Beijing, and she is not familiar with many places. It's not good to let her wait too long." Ah Li lowered his head and sighed.
The young man was upset that he had to say goodbye to his wife just now.
Mu Yihan had had enough of the sour smell, so he squinted at him and said, "If you don't want to follow me to the Southern Province, that's fine."
"Go to the Purification Bureau, get yourself cleansed, and become a eunuch like Wu Que, and I won't take you with me." He snorted venomously.
Ali suddenly felt a chill between his legs and waved his hands, "No, no, let alone going to the Southern Province with you, even if it means going through fire and water, I'm happy to do it!"
Mu Yihan then retracted his squinting eyes.
Then he stretched out his big hand to snatch his dried sweet potato and went into the house to find the young lady.
Ali's mouth was bitter.
Dried sweet potato, made by his wife!
At this time, Xiao Nuobao heard the familiar footsteps, and hurriedly rolled off the ground, bare his white feet, and ran out to greet people.
"Daddy, is daddy here?" The little fat girl said in a baby voice, her eyes were so bright.
Mu Yihan's brows relaxed, and he picked up the little girl and put the dried sweet potato on her belly, "You haven't eaten this morning yet, daddy will give you this, use it as a cushion first."
The little fat girl took it and took a look, and recognized that it was Sister Cuicui's handicraft, knowing that daddy must have "robbed" it.
She rubbed her eyelids and made a face at Ali behind her, but in the end, she didn't want to make him sad, and returned the dried sweet potato.
"Nuobao doesn't want to eat this, she wants to save her belly for the minced meat and egg custard~"
"Yes, daddy, why are you here so early? Aren't you still attending the morning court at this time on weekdays?" The little girl asked with her little head tilted.
Mu Yihan carried her to the bedside, helped her change her underwear, and replied in a gentle voice, "Such a big incident happened yesterday, and many officials' families are in a state of panic, so the morning court was only held for half an hour, and Dad let them go back. Anyway, they are not in the mood to discuss politics."
Xiao Nuobao thought about it
and nodded.
It is estimated that at this moment, the officials involved in the incident yesterday are all very busy.
It is not bad to go back and deal with the family affairs early.
Because of the thank-you gifts from many people, the breakfast of the Jiang family was also delayed, and it was not put on the table until now.
Seeing that the concubine had changed her clothes, Feng came in and said, "I wonder if the Imperial Master has eaten in the palace. Why don't you come and sit down together and have some more?"
Mu Yihan nodded happily. Not missing any opportunity to eat, he sat down at the dining table with the little chubby kid in his arms.
The table was steaming, and a big bowl of chicken noodle soup was placed in front of everyone.
The slippery thin noodles, paired with the old soup that was so fresh that it would make your eyebrows fall off, and a handful of chopped green onions were garnished in the middle. The smell was enough to make people dizzy.
The little chubby girl picked up the bowl of noodles that was bigger than her face, pouted her little mouth, sipped two mouthfuls of hot soup, and then pampered the minced meat and egg custard, holding the noodles with her left hand and scooping the egg custard with her right hand, eating very happily.
The whole family ate happily and were speechless until breakfast was almost over, when they started to chat about some trivial matters.
Although what happened yesterday was a secret, Ali did not tell Xiao Lanyi about it behind his back.
After Xiao Lanyi put down the bowl, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and could not help but mutter to Fengze.
"I heard that the young daughter-in-law of the Pei family revealed all the dirty things in the family in the Qinzheng Palace yesterday."
"No wonder Mr. Pei's sons were sent to the border to guard as soon as they reached adulthood! At first, the court officials praised him for his understanding of justice, but he actually used his sons to gain fame and secretly cheated with his daughter-in-law. He is really a sly old man." Xiao Lanyi pouted with disdain.
Jiang Fengze was also shocked. "It is rumored that except for Pei Jinbao, all the other grandchildren of Minister Pei are his children. It seems to be true?"
"There is also Li Hanlin's daughter, who is only eighteen years old this year. She just borrowed the hot spring of Pei Mansion to recuperate, but was also taken advantage of by Minister Pei. In the whole Pei Mansion, only the two stone lions at the door are clean." Xiao Lanyi was so disgusted that her mouth was chattering.
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard it.
What, son becomes grandson, in this famous family in Beijing, there is such a rare thing?
Xiao Nuobao also forgot to eat for a while, staring at Xiao Lanyi eagerly, just hoping that he would tell more gossip.
At this time, Sun Chunxue touched his chest and said, "My God, those high officials are respectable people, how can they be so wicked behind the scenes."
Jiang Fenghu picked up the egg pancake and stuffed his mouth full, saying, "Otherwise, sister-in-law, those famous and wealthy families are not that noble compared to ordinary people. We usually look up to them too much." "
The only difference between them and ordinary people is that their mansions are big enough and they can build a high wall to keep out the dirty things at home. If it were a farmer in the village, and the father-in-law dared to have an affair with his daughter-in-law, within half a year, he would have been spread so that he couldn't hold his head up." Jiang Fenghu shook his head.
This was absolutely right, and Feng Shi couldn't help but nod.
The so-called wealthy families are actually no more noble than the poor.
Building a tall mansion, in addition to enjoying, is nothing more than closing the door to hide all the dirt.
"It is said that the poor are evil and the rich are more conscientious, but in my opinion, it is not true at all. This is just made up by the rich people in the world to whitewash themselves." Jiang Fengnian sighed deeply at this time. The
Jiang family members pouted.
Since entering the capital, they have seen too many dirty things of the rich and powerful families. Some families are not as clean as the toilets in Daliu Village.
But fortunately, the Pei Mansion is not close to their family, and they rarely interact with each other. They just heard about this kind of thing and it didn't bother them.
Soon, a meal was about to be finished.
Jiang Fengnian stood up, bowed to the imperial teacher, and was about to go out to the Charity Bureau.
Feng Jing saw that it was getting late, so he hurried back to the house to get his school bag, fearing that he would be late for the Imperial College.
Although Feng Miao was a lazy person, he also insisted on taking his abacus and catching up with his two brothers to take a carriage together to the department store to check out the business.
Soon, when the house was a little cleaner, Mu Yihan took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and said something important.
"In a few days, I will go on a private visit to the people, understand the people's sentiments, and walk around." He glanced at the concubine who was still licking the meat crumbs, then looked at Mrs. Feng and said, "So I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of Nuobao for a while, and you will have to trouble this child." As
soon as these words came out, little Nuobao hurriedly raised his head, "Daddy is going on a long journey, and how long will he be gone?"
Mrs. Feng was also a little surprised, "When will the national teacher leave? Why so suddenly?"
Mu Yihan was not in a position to reveal too much, and only said, "If it's fast, he will be able to return to the capital in two months and leave in three or four days."
Little Nuobao really went out for an investigation, so his eyes lit up and said, "Daddy, to understand the people's sentiments, does that mean we have to go to many places? Nanji has a beautiful land, Nuobao also wants to go out and see it, take me with you!"
But Mu Yihan shook his head decisively.
"No, you are still young, and your body can't handle the bumpy ride, so just stay at home."
Little Nuobao was unhappy when he heard that, and his little mouth was almost pouted, "Daddy, how can you do this? If you don't take Nuobao with you, Nuobao will be angry and won't want to care about you!"
Looking at her chubby little face, which was really a little red from anger, Mu Yihan was a little anxious for a moment, but after thinking about it, he hardened his heart and had no intention of giving in.
