The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

Guess something big might happen!

The head of the Mu family immediately put down his work and canceled the wine party he had planned to discuss business with Waifu businessmen in the evening.

As the richest man in Yunhuang Kingdom, he has been cautious for most of his life.The imperial court stipulated that the descendants of businessmen were not allowed to take the imperial examination and become officials, so he sent his youngest son to practice martial arts; the imperial court stipulated that merchants were not allowed to ride in cars, so he walked to the trading house every day; the imperial court stipulated that merchants were not allowed to wear silk, so he wore coarse cloth every day Blue cloth clothes, cloth shoes.

How could he not be angry after hearing his second daughter's ignorant and fearless speech?

"father--"

Mu Yuhe couldn't believe that his father, who usually loved his children the most, would scold him severely.

"I tell you to read more and play less, but you just don't listen!" Mu Zongqi's expression turned into a tired sigh, "Someone, please send the second lady back to the house." Here, I will be banned for ten days and fined half a year's salary."

Mu Yuhe really cried this time. She couldn't live without money or freedom. She had made an appointment with her little sisters to attend a plum blossom appreciation party organized by a noble lady in the capital.

The second young lady was dragged away and grounded.

"Greetings to the princess..."

"Father, there is no need to kneel down. There is only Xue'er here, not any princess." Mu Tingxue interrupted him.

It would be really sad to have to be kneeled down by your biological father in your own home.

Mu Zongqi's thin body trembled, and he turned his head slightly, and tears shone faintly in his haggard eyes: "Xue'er."

How many years had it passed since they could talk like a normal father and daughter?

The eldest daughter that Mu Zongqi loved most was almost exactly the same as his deceased wife.

She was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and read a lot of books. She was a talented girl who was famous far and wide. She did not want to marry someone who was idle. Once she went to Da Zi Zai Buddhist Temple to offer incense and fell in love at first sight with Xie Yi, the king of Qinling.The father couldn't bear to see his daughter become lovesick and lose weight day by day, so he took the initiative to find her and offered her a dowry of one year's treasury income.

I originally hoped that she and Xie Yi could live a happy life, but...

"What happened to the wrist?"

Mu Zongqi saw the bandage on his daughter's wrist and couldn't help frowning, his voice suddenly raised, "Who hurt you?"

"Dad, please listen to me slowly."

study.

Retreat from the screen.

Mu Tingxue then explained in detail the matter of her reconciliation with Xie Yi and the matter of the Mu family's shortage of disaster relief funds.

"It's no longer possible for Xie Yi and I. Dad also needs to make preparations early. The court is trying to find out the faults of our family. If a good fortune is lost, the house will be ransacked. If you are not careful, three tribes will become slaves of the officials. People in the government must be strictly restrained. We cannot allow them to continue spending money like water, and we must strictly check the account books to see if there is any illegal trade.”

Mu Zongqi felt a deep sense of desolation. After a long time, he sighed: "How heartless! We have been married for five years. King Qin Ling actually proposed to the court to confiscate the Mu family. He didn't care about you at all... It makes you so sad. .”

"I'm not sad."

Mu Tingxue shook her head, her beautiful eyes clear and transparent, "My daughter doesn't love him anymore, how can she be sad?"

At a time when the life and death of the whole family was at stake, if Mu Zongqi still had the brains for love, then giving birth to a daughter would be worse than giving birth to a piece of barbecued pork.

Mu Zongqi was stunned, as if he didn't believe that these words could come out of his eldest daughter's mouth: "Xue'er, do you really think so?"

"Exactly!"

Mu Tingxue gave an affirmative answer, "So Dad, the top priority is that we have to come up with a countermeasure on how to protect the Mu family in this strange storm. My suggestion is to take the initiative to use money to provide disaster relief, and to carry out disaster relief in nearby cities. We have set up alms sheds with several nearby counties to distribute food to the victims.”

The darkness in Mu Zongqi's eyes disappeared: "This is a good idea. Spread the family wealth and keep it safe."

Mu Tingxue said in a deep voice, "By doing this, we can gain a good reputation as a 'righteous businessman' and help the court alleviate the disaster."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Mu Zongqi said three good words in a row, and the look in his eldest daughter's eyes changed, "That's it."

After a pause, he added, "Businessmen study human nature, and Xue'er knows this very well. As a father, after your divorce, you don't need to be anyone's wife. You spend all day long in the deep inner house, surrounded by people. Your husband and children are spinning around, burying your talent, so just be yourself!"

*. *. *

Regent House.

On the rosewood coffee table inlaid with Hetian jade, there are two teacups, a plate of lotus heart osmanthus cake, and a plate of milk sachets shaped into rabbits.

The green bud tips of a gun and a flag float up and down.

"eat."

Yan Yang's eyes were deep, as if commanding.

"Don't eat!"

Xiao Zebao protested, venting his anger at his father, groaning, his cheeks bulging like steamed buns, "The snacks in the house are not delicious, I want to go and play with my beautiful aunt!"

Yan Yang: "..."

Zebao took out a piece of chocolate candy from his arms, peeled off the candy wrapper very preciously, broke off half of it and put it in his mouth: "This is the last piece."

Yan Yang looked at the table with a pair of sharp eyes and said nothing. His handsome and god-like face was extremely solemn.

a while.

The man closed his eyes and pictured Mu Tingxue's charming smile in his mind.

So what if you get married?

That's his son's mother, just snatch her back!

*. *. *

The 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

Some people's huts and mud houses have been crushed by the thick snow. They already had insufficient food in the lean year, and now they are so hungry that they lie down on both sides of the street, even looking for shelter from the snow. Less than.

They froze to death on the streets and starved to death in deserted graves, with no one to collect their bodies.

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"Hurry! Go to the entrance of Mu's Weaving Shop and you can get a white steamed bun and a bowl of hot porridge for free, 8 taels of rice." (16 taels per catty)

"Great! Eighty-two meters can save the life of my elderly mother at home."

……

Countless victims, dragging their sallow and thin bodies, headed towards Yaoguang streets.

Sheds for distributing relief food have been set up.The servants of the Mu family carried rice sack by sack. Hot rice porridge was boiling in the huge iron pot, and fragrant steamed buns were steaming in the steamer.

There are a total of twenty disaster relief sites.

Mu Tingxue is in charge of this one on Yaoguang Street.

She did not wear her hair in a luxurious bun, or wear a jade ring.Instead, he mingled with the victims, put on civilian clothes, and wore a black cotton robe with dark flowers.

"Folks, please line up and don't crowd. Everyone can receive food. The two hundred boatloads of food just bought from the Grand Canal this morning are worth 70 shi."

Mu Tingxue smiled. Her voice was not loud, but it was particularly powerful in the wind and snow.

Comfort the hearts of every disaster victim.

"It's Princess Qinling!"

"The Mu family is so generous!"

"Tens of thousands of people have starved to death here, and the prince in charge of disaster relief is marrying a concubine in a big way."

Mu Tingxue had settled the accounts long ago. There were 20 victims in Yundu and 7 victims in the seven nearby counties, totaling 56.Of course, these are official statistics, and the actual number of victims must far exceed this figure.Most of the officials are experienced and non-stick people, so when they report numbers, they tend to underreport them.

"Based on the 76 disaster victims, each person receives 8 taels of relief food per day and consumes [-] dan per day."

Mu Tingxue calculated the calculation, "This batch of food can last about 25 days."

The accountant on the side was fiddling with the abacus beads and bowed his head with admiration on his face: "The eldest lady is really a genius in business, and she is not bad at all."

Mu Tingxue was not optimistic: "This is just a figure on paper. 70 stone grains can last for fifteen days, which is good."

Fifteen days are not enough to survive this disaster year.

I still need to make some plans with my father, contact more grain merchants in rice shops, or rent a boat to buy grain in a wealthy province that has not been affected by the disaster.

After settling the accounts, she personally gave alms, serving hot porridge and a small bag of eighty-two meters to the elderly victims.

[-] meters away.

"Beautiful little——"

Zebao recognized Mu Tingxue and shouted in surprise.
