"And what did she say about me?" Qu Muge asked.

That day, Qu Muge was the first to pick up her arrangement of Bai Lingting, and I don't know how Wang Miaoyun explained.

Bai Lingxiu said: "Miss Wang didn't say what the princess is, but said that you and the eldest sister are cousins, and you are young, and you have to rely on the support of the Bai family in the capital, you must have been instigated and coerced by the eldest sister and told a lie." People don't know about you, so they believe her nonsense. ”

Qu Muge couldn't help but admire this kind of woman, with a handful of tears, she could turn black and white upside down.

Such a powerful "talent" can't be wasted.

Bai Tao was busy directing the servants to prepare the banquet in the back kitchen, but was forcibly pulled into the steward's room by his daughter to speak.

As soon as he heard that it was related to the marriage of his eldest son, Bai Tao put aside the chores and listened to Bai Lingting intently.

When Bai Tao heard clearly that the woman was the daughter of Taishou, he shook his head and said, "No, your brother is the eldest son, and your grandmother wants to see the young lady of the Gonghou family for him." ”

Bai Lingting lowered her face and said to her mother, "What's wrong with Taishou? That's also a fourth-grade important member, which is higher than my father's fifth-grade waiter! Grandfather Zhishi was only a bachelor from the Sipin Hanlin Academy, why should we choose? ”

Bai Tao said: "Can it be compared like this? Our family doesn't rely on being an official to support the lintel! ”

Bai Lingting sneered: "Yes, our family does not rely on men to be officials, but on women to marry." ”

"You dead girl, do you have a sense of proportion?" Bai Tao was angry with her and said, "Our family relies on reading to do learning!" There are not so many scribes in the clan for generations, and there are no good people willing to marry. ”

"Since it is by studying, why can't Xie Zhiyin? The Xie family is a scholarly family, and Xie Zhiyin has been a talented woman since childhood, you also know it, right? Didn't you teach me a lesson with her before? The people that the Queen Mother has taken a fancy to, our family still can't look down on them, and I'm afraid that they will laugh to death if they spread it. ”

Bai Tao knew that his daughter had never spoken in a proper manner, and he was no longer angry, and said: "Yes, the Queen Mother is still choosing a concubine for the eldest prince, and we can't rob the eldest prince of people." ”

Bai Lingting couldn't do it in a hurry: "I just want to take it down while it's still undecided!" What's so good about the young lady of the Wang family? The status is high, my brother can't stand up straight, and we have to look at her face to live. Xie Zhiyin and his brother are right, the two are in love, and there is no such store in this village! ”

"Agree? What do you mean by that? Bai Tao was taken aback, if the two of them taught each other privately, this matter could not be relied upon.

Bai Lingting lost patience and said, "When my brother comes back, you can ask him yourself." Mother, you have figured it out, anyway, I support my brother in this matter! ”

After the banquet began, Bai Lingting returned to the banquet angrily, Qu Muge and Bai Lingxiu saw that her face was not good, so they understood, and did not ask more.

In the name of hospitality, Bai Tao came to the table a few times, and kept peeking at Xie Zhiyin.

After the banquet, Qu Muge also took the princess of Duodan to visit the orphans of the martyrs in the Charity Hall of the Pension Division, so he entrusted the guests at home to Bai Lingxiu to entertain.

The Pension Division's Charity Hall was built on the southern outskirts of the capital and housed hundreds of orphans.

They studied and lived here, and when they grew up, they went out on their own with the help of the Pension Department.

Although they are taken care of by the imperial court, after all, the expenses are limited, and the lives of these orphans are not very good, and they can only ensure the most basic food, clothing, housing and school.

Qu Muge brought the Dragon Boat Festival on behalf of the imperial court to distribute it to everyone, and the children competed to eat zongzi, not to mention how happy they were.

Qu Muge said to the princess Duodan: "Their fathers were all killed in the war, and their mothers either died of illness or remarried, and they had no relatives to take care of them, and the court found them and brought them back to raise. There are many such orphans, and I believe that there are many of them. The victims of war are always innocent people. ”

Princess Duodan looked indifferently at the children queuing up to receive food: "Princess Taixuan is right, war will make innocent people suffer, but without war, will the people be able to live a good life with plenty of food and clothing?" Qi Qiong is not as good as the Yong Dynasty, the land is large and rich, every winter, there are countless Qiu Qiong people who starve to death and freeze to death, we are born to live in a crisis, do not fight or grab, are we waiting for death? ”

Yesterday, she discussed with the eldest prince the conditions for surrendering to the vassals, and the Yong Dynasty demanded that Qiu Qiong cut the land and pay compensation, which was undoubtedly worse for the already defeated Qiu Qiong, and she was in a very bad mood when she thought of it.

Qu Muge said: "Everyone has the instinct and right to survive, but there are many ways to survive, and war and plunder are not the only way. Some places have no grass, but they are rich in minerals; Some places are icy and snowy, but the scenery is pleasant; As long as you are diligent and willing to learn, you can always find a way out. As for how to tackle tough problems and get rid of poverty, how to enhance skills, and how to explore characteristic industries, these are the issues that those in power need to think about. Complaining about the world and waging war will not solve the problem in essence. ”

Qu Muge has written a lot of press releases on poverty alleviation and prosperity, and Qiu Qiong invaded due to poverty, Qu Muge can talk about some views.

For the first time, Duo Dan looked at this princess who didn't look very old, and remembered that she had told herself in the morning, "Governing the country is like a boat", Duo Dan asked: "Will the royal family of the Yong Dynasty learn how to govern the government?" ”

Qu Muge said: "Yes, there is a golden house in the book. Centennial plan, education-oriented! ”

Qu Muge took the opportunity to add: "War will not let Qiu Qiong get out of trouble, and revenge can't. Look at these children, if the war orphans grow up with hatred, the strife between our two countries will never end, and the tragedy will only continue to reincarnate. Judging from the current situation, the Yong Dynasty may still be able to withstand setbacks, but Qiu Qiong will enter a desperate situation and there will be no place to turn over. ”

The princess of Duodan is also an orphan of the war, and Qu Muge knocked on the side, hoping that the princess of Duodan would not trouble Gu Nanye.

Dodan thought and stopped talking.

When he returned to Bai's house after entertaining foreign guests, the guests who had been playing for a day had already dispersed.

Qu Muge removed his hair accessories and went to bed to rest and chatted with Huanhuan.

"Hou Ye lost to Bai Yuanhui in the dragon boat in the morning, he probably will be very angry, right?"

Those who have never lost a war have lost in the race.

Huanhuan said: "It should be, Hou Ye is not obvious on his face, but he is still very competitive." The next time they meet, the princess will comfort the Hou Ye. ”

Qu Muge shook his head and said, "No, the more he talks about it, the more embarrassed he feels, just don't mention it in the future." ”

Huanhuan looked at Qu Muge's face and asked carefully, "That'...... Miss Pan'er, do you want to mention it to Master Hou? ”

Qu Muge fell silent when he heard this.

This afternoon, she took Duo Dan to the Pension Department to visit the orphans, and when she distributed zongzi, it caused a small commotion, and several troublesome children were arrested by the director of the Pension Department.

Qu Muge was worried that the principal would embarrass the children, so he called the principal to come over and talk alone, asking him not to care.

I didn't expect to say this, and I heard about a small thing.

The director complained to Qu Muge: "...... That kid has been dishonest since he was sent last year, either trying to run or fighting, and is skinnier than a boy. Every time I punished her, she also said that she was Gu Hou's sister and asked Gu Hou to cut off my head. ”
