Lin'an, Imperial Palace, Renming Palace

The hall should have been very quiet and solemn, but at this time it was full of children running around and palace maids who were in a hurry, the big ones might be five or six years old, and the small ones were still in swaddling clothes.

Today, Qiao Mu celebrated his birthday, so Zhao Kuo specially brought all his children over to give her a birthday.

Zhao Kuo thought that he was filial piety, and thought that Qiao Mu would be very happy to see that he had so many sons and daughters, but in fact, Qiao Mu looked at the nearly thirty grandchildren in this hall, and he wanted to die with a headache, and he wanted to go back to the past and strangle himself who gave the treatment prescription at that time, so many children, just looking at it made me feel a headache, not to mention that they were all very noisy, most of them were three or five years old, and the maids and nurses who served them did not dare to educate, so they were all bear children who could go to the house and lift tiles, Qiao Mu already felt like his scalp was going to explode just by listening to their magic sounds, and he almost wanted to die!

"Mother, these are your grandchildren.

I thought about it, when they stand up, when it comes to the royal family genealogy, they will pass one to the eldest brother, and the side branch to the eldest brother is not as good as the relatives from my side after all, so that my eldest brother can also have someone to worship and sacrifice, do you say? ”

Zhao Kuo thought he was very filial, and he thought he was very considerate of his mother's sake, there was no way in the past, that is, he didn't even have a child, so he could only let his eldest brother succeed the children of other clans, but now he has nearly thirty children, maybe there will be more next year, naturally he will not be stingy with one or two to pass on to his eldest brother, anyway, it is not bad for one or two.

"Whatever you want!

Tell me, you come to me to pay homage to my birthday, what are you doing with so many children, even infant children, you are not afraid that they will get cold, and your father and concubines will come to me in a while, you first send your children to the left side of the hall, so as not to turn back and collide.

And, say, what's the matter?

Is there no silver again? ”

Qiao Mu almost rolled his eyes and asked.

In the past, when her son gave birth to one or two grandchildren, it was naturally a matter of indifference, anyway, he could afford to raise them, but since he gave birth to more than twenty, and there were seven or eight pregnant in the backyard, he couldn't afford to raise them, after all, his little money was not enough to do anything, and it was impossible for the prince to take the lead in corruption and bribery, so life was naturally a lot more embarrassing, and from time to time he entered the palace to fight the autumn breeze, and he didn't come to fight himself, he was not very embarrassed, and every time he brought a large number of his sons and daughters over.

Qiao Muguang has already given him hundreds of taels of silver this month, but it has just reached the end of the month, and he has come again with the opportunity to pay his birthday greetings, what is the birthday gift, he gave a longevity picture written by himself, and no one wants it in the store.

But fortunately, he is still careful, at least every longevity word on the picture is written by himself according to other people's words, which is also filial piety.

"Haha, mother, you still understand me.

Unlike my father, the emperor, who talked to him last night about the affairs of the court for most of the day, but he sent me away without giving me anything, leaving me in the palace for dinner, I was full in the palace, and poor my children were still hungry......"

Zhao Kuogan laughed twice and began to complain.

Some things, such as gnawing on the old, must have been a little embarrassing at the beginning, a little embarrassed, but the embarrassment is not embarrassing, and the more times the face is thicker, at the beginning, Zhao Kuo was still a little embarrassed when he came to cry poor, and he spoke a little slurred, but this time he counted more, and his face became thicker.

"Don't say it, I understand, I understand.

I'll give you another 1,000 taels later, but it's not a matter if you're always like this, didn't I give you two 200 acres of Zhuangzi last time, and I also gave you a shop with a decent profit, and there is no income during this time, I remember that the climate is okay this year, and there is no catastrophe? ”

Qiao Mu interrupted his complaint a little impatiently, and then asked about some fixed assets given to him last year, and what the situation was now.

"Mother, Zhuangzi's income is okay, but the grain is not valuable, and I see that the hired farmers in Zhuangzi are living quite hard, many of them have never eaten a bowl of white rice in their lives, it is too pitiful, so I reduced their rent by forty percent, and only collected one percent, and the one percent of the rent collected is barely enough for my Najia Wangfu to chew.

The shop is okay, but I think some things are too profitable, and they are obviously exploiting the people, so I asked the shopkeeper to lower the price of some things, and there is no profit......

When Zhao Kuo said this, he still felt a little embarrassed, feeling that he could do too little now, and he didn't love the people enough, and after becoming the emperor in the future, he would definitely have to work harder, and love the people more than his father, so that the people could live a good life and let everyone have enough to eat.

Qiao Mu felt his head hurt even more now, what kind of bad son is this, isn't this the legendary Holy Mother, although it is better than some generous virgins, but this is obviously not much better, isn't his generosity also what he gave him, this is also too bad.

"Shut up for me!

What should I say about it, I'm not saying that your behavior is bad, but, alas, forget it, I have a headache, you go down first. ”

Qiao Mu's brows were tightly entangled for a while, and he really couldn't think of how to persuade him, so he could only wave his hand and signal him to sit on the side and rest first, and then began to think about how to reverse the Holy Father complex of her terrible son.

However, I didn't think about it for a few minutes, the emperor and the harem concubines arrived one after another, her little birthday was not bad, she basically came, and she gave a lot of birthday gifts, Qiao Mu looked at the molecules of the birthday ceremony, and reluctantly cheered up to chat with them, chatting about some gossip that could be said, Zhao Dian was really not interested in these, so after listening to it for a while, he found an excuse to leave, and went to the east side of the hall to see his grandchildren, Zhao Kuo was not interested in these gossips, also found an excuse to leave and went to the East Side Palace, planning to find his father to fight the autumn wind again to see if he could get some back.

In fact, although there have been many more children in Zhao Kuofu's house in recent years, if he can live a normal life, it is not that he can't live a life, not to mention that he is quite frugal, but he belongs to the kind of holy father who picks on himself and his family, but is very generous to others, just can't see others suffering and sinning, and when he sees others suffering and sinning, he wants to help, give some money, etc., which also causes him to fight the autumn breeze everywhere, he is also very thrifty, and even his clothes are patched. But it is still unable to make ends meet, and it is the main reason for being poor.

No amount of family property can withstand such a scattering.
