"What about me? What about me? Brother Du?" Cheng Ruyu said anxiously.

"Oh, the old man said Ruyu is also a good boy, and he likes it very much."

"That's great, I knew the old man would definitely say that...

Haha, Sister Xuanxuan, we really won."

Du Shaoqing wanted to cover his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it. He thought to himself that this little girl has inherited the excellent genes of the Cheng family. She is so big. When the old master mentioned you, he smacked his lips. I said, "You really dare to believe him praise you?"

After just a few greetings with the second daughter, Du Shaoqing found out why so many children were sitting on the ground?

What are you doing? Have you been staring for too long, your legs are numb and you have fallen? Children nowadays are really so fragile and delicate that you can wipe your tears when you fall, and you don’t even have a strong daughter.

"What's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong? Don't sit on the ground. It's too cold. Go to class quickly. Your teacher will be in class soon." Du Shaoqing said.

Everyone was in the mood to attend class? They were all thinking about how to get beaten when they went home.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Du Shaoqing stopped asking questions. A group of ignorant boys didn't even care about it.

"Good daughter, you and Ruyu are studying here well. Dad is going back. I'll pick you up another day." Du Shaoqing turned around and was about to leave.

"Dad, I tell you, I just made a bet with them, and I even won..."

"Okay, okay, you can keep whatever you win as a toy. Dad really has something to do and he will leave, otherwise it will be bad if he delays the old man's lecture."

After saying that, Du Shaoqing left.

Xiao Xuanxuan muttered, I seem to have won 10,000 taels, so much money to be used as a toy? I don’t like to play, I’m so worried...

"Sister Xuanxuan, have we won a lot of money? What should they do if they don't give it?" Cheng Ruyu asked from the side.

"Well, a lot, a lot, ten thousand taels, and we two are ten thousand taels each.

It's enough for you to buy a house of snacks and spend them all.

I'm not afraid, I'll talk to my grandmother after school today, and I'll go home today and we won't come to school tomorrow.

If they dare not give money tomorrow, we will take Xiao Miaomiao to ask for it one by one. Who doesn’t give it to me? Let Xiao Miaomiao eat it all..."

The little girl said next to everyone, saying this was obviously intentional. She turned her head to look at the people sitting on the ground. She was so scared that the few people were bloodless and their crying sounded a little lowered. Everyone had seen the tiger.

Cheng Ruyu was even more amazing, as if she didn't know anything. She swaggered and pointed at the other party and shouted: "Did you hear it? I'll give us money when I get home. If I don't give it to you tomorrow, I will eat it all!"

...Although she didn't know how much it cost to two thousand taels and ten thousand taels.

Besides, Du Shaoqing was anxious to leave, so why did he rush to leave if he had something to do? It was clearly just hiding from Yan Shigu.

Du Shaoqing was dejected all the way, but today he was criticized from head to toe. He really didn't want to come to school again. If there was any parent-teacher meeting in ancient times, then let the child's mother come. It would be a pity...

"Mr. Prince Consort, Your Majesty is summoning you." An eunuch quickly stopped Du Shaoqing, who was about to leave the palace gate.

Du Shaoqing returned to the Political Affairs Hall again dizzy. What's going on? How many more people are there?

"Boy, are you here?

Think about the countermeasures, you caused it, and the current situation is in trouble." Li Er sighed.

Causing trouble? What's the matter? Du Shaoqing is puzzled.

At this time, the newcomers began to introduce the situation.

It turned out that one of the three was the Chang'an County Magistrate and the other was the Wannian County Magistrate. The one who brought them into the palace to meet the saint was Sun Wuji, the Minister of Personnel.

The day before yesterday, the merchant gathering of Qujiangchi merchants can be said to have caused a sensation in the whole city.

The money mountain piled up by Zhuque Gate yesterday shocked the people.

The matter happened here. On that day, the people were eager to donate money, but Du Shaoqing finally persuaded him.

I thought I would stop there, but I didn't expect that after collecting the money yesterday, the people started to talk about donating money again.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were filial piety, loyalty and righteousness, and etiquette. Everyone talked about that since it was to raise funds to use it for wars in front of them, why were only merchants taking money? It was necessary to take everyone, why were only merchants allowed to take it?

Many people even think that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, in terms of identity and status, people at the first three levels should be ranked first among merchants, right? Is it their turn? Even if they get the turn, they have to be ranked behind us.

Of course, more people are because of loyalty.

For example, the blacksmith Hu Datie in Qujiangchi was a straightforward person. He was persuaded by Du Shaoqing, but when he returned home, he told his father about the matter and was slapped in the face by the old man.

"Bastard, how is this money matter?

This is a major event that contributed to the Tang Dynasty. How could it be without my old Hu family? I was a soldier under the King of Qin back then.

Tomorrow, if you can’t send the money to me tomorrow, it will insult the Hu family and I will break your leg.”

Hu Datie: I...

He wanted to argue that it was Du Fu Ma's words that he would not accept it if he had enough, and it was not that he didn't want to give it to him, but seeing his father's angry look, he didn't dare to say anything.

There are many people in this situation with the Old Hu family, and the reasons are different, but without exception, they are all in a sincere heart to serve the country. It is not accidental that the Tang Dynasty can rise, but it will be known to see the people's hearts so consistent.

There is also a group of people who have different minds from the above people, but they also actively went to the yamen to call for donations.

This group of people is interesting. They were encouraged by the big shopkeeper of the Cui family in Qinghe.

Because he missed the business opportunity of donating money to share profits, the shopkeeper Cui was quick to learn and relied on the enthusiasm of the people to incite him. When the court relaxed the donations of the whole people, he gave a lot of money.

Then there was enough reason to squeeze into the silk sales circle, and Du Shaoqing had nothing to say.

So there was such a third group of people.

The people of Chang'an were so active that they almost squeezed out the yamen of Chang'an County and Wannian County. The magistrates of the two departments could only report to the court quickly, and finally came to the Political Consultative Hall.

Du Shaoqing was amused and crying. At first, he just wanted to pull up the five surnames and Qiwang to be a sucker and share some military expenses. Who would have thought that he would lead the direction of Chang'an?

But this donation must be stopped. It is absolutely impossible to raise funds without any ease. It is not a major disaster. The court cannot gather people's money for no reason. Everyone in the Political Consultative Hall knows this and is discussing countermeasures.

Finally, after Li Er summoned a group of important officials, everyone discussed and came up with a reasonable charter on whether the court would accept fundraising and donations for war, and then directly issued a list to publicly announce it. Only then did the people regretfully withdraw it.

The public announcement said that under what circumstances can you raise funds, what money can be used for, what money can not be used for, etc. It is very detailed and well-founded.

This time, it is to attack other countries, not a national self-protection battle. Merchants donate money because they are victims and can be accepted, but it is not suitable for the whole people to get money. Moreover, the money has been enough so far, so it is useless to pay more.

The people of Chang'an know etiquette, so naturally they will no longer be disorderly and messy.

When she returned home, Princess Changle was very curious. Why did her husband come back with a dejected look?

"Husband, you went to report the account and give money to your father with great enthusiasm. He should praise you, right? Why are you so embarrassed?"

Du Shaoqing collapsed on the chair of the Grand Master and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's considered back home. Madam, can you discuss something with you? About the child."

The princess's pretty face turned slightly red: "Hate, before the child is pregnant, you started to discuss the future, and said you are not in a hurry to have a child?"

"Ahem... I misunderstood my wife, I mean our baby daughter."

"Ah? Daughter? Didn't she just go to school today? Is there any problem?"

Du Shaoqing felt aggrieved when he said: "Hey, don't mention it. This girl is really born to cheat her, but she has made me suffer.

Today, in Hongwenguan, I was criticized by Master Yan’s old master. At that time, you could not imagine how embarrassed it was.

Facing the righteous old master, he wished he could find a crack in the ground for his husband, and he had no shame to see anyone."

"Ah? What's the hell did our daughter cause in school?" the princess exclaimed.

"I'll do it for you..." Du Shaoqing told his wife for a long time with his fingers. Princess Changle sounded worried at first, then angry at the end, and finally became amused.

The princess covered her mouth and smiled, "Husband, don't you spoil your daughter infinitely on weekdays? What's going on now? You know it's a pain.

What you must want to discuss with me is, if something happens in the future, let me go, right?

Let me tell you, there is no door either!”

"No, husband and wife are together, at least we can share the hardships..."

"It's okay to share weal and woe, but I can't share this difficult situation.

I am also a student of Master Yan. I am afraid that I will be scolded even more ruthlessly after seeing Master Yan. I dare not be so ugly.

And don’t you have a trick to get out of here? Didn’t you say that giving a painting will save you from disaster?

I don’t have this ability either, so my husband has to take more responsibility.”

This is my...

Du Shaoqing felt that he had said a little too much.

From the beginning, we shouldn’t tell the truth that my wife and daughter caused so many troubles. Isn’t it over to just say that Master Yan is “talking”?

Now that I have been seen through, I can only hope that my daughter can be proud of herself in the future and cause less trouble.

What he didn't know was that his daughter caused a bigger disaster again. (ps: Voiceover: Ding! Your baby's cheating package is already on the way, please be careful to check it out.)

In Hongwen Pavilion, the old man who criticized Du Shaoqing for giving lectures was much more powerful, as if he had vented all the accumulated energy over the past few days. He was refreshed and had a famous painting that could be passed down from generation to generation, and he was in a good mood.

When he returned home, he handed the scroll in his hand to his eldest son and said, "Go to find the most famous framer in Chang'an City and frame the painting."

The Yan family Dalang said in confusion: "Ah? Father, who did you get the painting of a master? Master Yan Pi? Or the brothers of the Yan family? Why did they give you the paintings that don't even frame them?"

"Not even, open it yourself." Yan Shigu said with a caress.

"Hi, it turns out to be a new-style portrait, nothing strange, I have seen a lot of them.

Well, this painting is pretty good, it’s your portrait, it’s not right. This is not a personal portrait. This is the scene when you were teaching, and there are still a group of students listening.
