Chapter 288 Now that things have come to this, let’s eat first.
No one has ever died in life.
——When Duke Wang accidentally turned around and met Emperor Mingze’s cold gaze, he suddenly had such a feeling.
He suddenly became more open-minded.
That’s it for now, let’s eat first.
Duke Wang scooped a bowl of the "Golden Wind and Jade Dew Soup" that the little guy praised so highly and savored it carefully.
The feelings you get will be slightly different depending on your mood.
The old soup that he found difficult to swallow just now, now when he tasted it again, it actually gave him a different experience.
The mixed sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness of this "Golden Wind and Jade Dew Soup" does not also reflect the sad and long life of these ordinary people.
Duke Wang looked out the open window at the land of Quchun bathed in the warm afternoon sun, his heart filled with peace.
In life, if you can take life and death lightly, there is nothing that you cannot overcome.
[Grandpa Wang proposed to hold a funeral for Uncle Gu, in order to collect gifts from the officials! ]
[The funeral needs to be held, but Grandpa Wang can't arrange it. We can only wait for other uncles to speak first, and then Grandpa Wang will come forward and make it happen reluctantly! ]
[Grandpa Wang spent more than half a month preparing for this effect! ]
[Ahhh, ginger is still spicy with age! ! ]
The ministers froze for a moment, then turned around angrily: "!!!"
They remembered!
After Gu Ruizhou was "buried in disaster", Duke Wang was unable to hide his grief for a long time.
Not only would he be in a daze from time to time, he would also often look at the place where Gu Ruizhou used to stand in the court with a sad face.
They also said privately at the time that Duke Wang was so concerned about his good friend's affairs that he truly valued friendship and loyalty!
Looking back now, they were really blind!!
Duke Wang: “…”
Duke Wang tasted the soup calmly.
These little things are not a big deal, and as long as the little guy is not interested in "that thing", he can still survive.
[Uncle Gu firmly disagreed at first, but it was Grandpa Wang who persuaded him for a long time before he changed his mind~]
【Grandpa Wang was afraid that such a large sum of money would disappear if it was sent to the mansion, which would only arouse suspicion, so he divided the gift money into two parts. The money given by the treacherous officials was given to Uncle Gu as capital for his comeback, while the money from the upright uncles was kept in his own hands——】
[Wow——There is a way to make money! There is a way to make money wow!!]
Duke Wang: “Puff——”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough—”
The fifty-year-old man was suddenly choked by the soup and started coughing violently.
The colleagues present finally found an opportunity to get close to Duke Wang, and they almost rushed up in a swarm!
"Mr. Wang, have a cup of tea to calm your nerves." He silently scooped a whole spoonful of "Golden Wind and Jade Dew" into the teacup.
"Hey, look at you, you're so careless. Don't be afraid, I'll pat you on the back!" He patted Duke Wang's back several times with great force!
Duke Wang coughed until his face turned red, but out of the deep "concern" of his colleagues, he forced himself to endure the itch in his throat!
If he doesn't stop, he will be "cared" to death by this group of people! !
Suddenly, someone leaned close to his ear and spoke softly -
"Mr. Wang, what do you think of the term 'ill-gotten gains'?!"
You say it!
What do you think of "ill-gotten gains"?
Duke Wang: “…”
Duke Wang's eyes were filled with tears.
He didn't know about the "ill-gotten gains", but at this moment, he suddenly had a profound experience of the "unbearable lightness of life"!
"Let Chengcheng take a look too. Let Chengcheng go in and take a look too!"
Duke Wang suddenly looked up!
The anxious voice of the little guy had never sounded as heavenly to him as it did today. He quickly pushed aside his colleagues who were surrounding him and picked up the little guy who was blocked on the outermost side and kept jumping around trying to look inside.
Lord Wang burst into tears: "Thank you, Xiao Chengcheng, for your concern. Grandpa Wang is fine."
His little ancestor came at the perfect time!
After saying this, he looked eagerly at the little girl in his arms.
——But if you don’t clear my name, I might really be in trouble!
Jiang Yingcheng nodded with a confused expression, stretched out her hand with difficulty, patted her Grandpa Wang on the back twice, and said in a baby voice: "Grandpa Wang, be careful next time~"
"Mmmmmmm!"
Lord Wang responded twice randomly, and then continued to look at the little guy with expectant eyes.
Come on, tell them where he spent all the money!
At the beginning, when he and Gu Ruizhou were planning this matter, they never thought that this matter would one day be revealed to the world in this way.
After dividing the gift money, he observed for a long time in fear.
After seeing no one pursue the matter for a long time, he carefully planned the use of the gift money.
——He targeted the youngest sons of those upright families, gave the gift money to his eldest grandson, and asked him to be a money-giving boy, and to pay back the money one by one over several years in the form of pocket money given by wealthy friends.
He was afraid that the kids would insist on reciprocity, so he put in a lot of his own money to try to make it happen.
only……
If he said such words out loud, it would make him seem too petty as a grown-up to argue with a child. But if the words came from the little guy's heart, the situation would be different!
Jiang Yingcheng nestled in her Grandpa Wang's arms and actually started reading the relevant content.
[Well... but Grandpa Wang didn't take advantage of the uncles. He also asked Brother Bingxu to use the money on the children in the uncles' family. It can be regarded as taking from the people and giving back to the people! ! ]
Forehead--
Everyone choked on their angry expressions.
Although there was some joking in their actions just now, the little guy's words still made them feel a little embarrassed.
Misunderstood Duke Wang?!
Duke Wang burst into tears.
Duke Wang stood up again!
He held his head high and chest puffed out, his smug eyes slowly sweeping across the slightly embarrassed faces, and he hummed in a drawn-out tone.
Even if he, Lord Wang, didn't have much private money, how could he be such a shameless person who cheated and took the gift money from his colleagues? !
he--
【Just hahahahahaha! 】
The little fellow shrugged his shoulders as if he had thought of something particularly funny, which made Lord Wang's heart skip a beat.
[Hahahahaha——Grandpa Wang couldn’t explain why he did this, he just told Brother Bingxu to share it with his little playmates, hahahahaha——]
[Then, then, Brother Bingxu automatically included Sister Zhining in the scope of his playmates. He would give her a few cookies and cakes whenever he had nothing to do, and would also buy her pretty hairpins... The remaining money would then flow into the equal distribution pool and be evenly distributed to those playmates, hahahahaha! ]
[How can this not be considered allocation based on demand? ! ]
Duke Wang: “…”
Forget it.
What are you still struggling for?
Just lie down.
