When Zhou Lijun figured out what happened, her eyes lit up when she saw Man Bao, and then she ran down to tell Uncle Wu and the others the good news.

Wu Lang and the others were very happy, but even though they were happy, they felt regretful, "It would be great if my uncle is still alive, our family would be in officialdom."

Liu Lang glanced at the meat on the chopping board and said, "Li Jun, go and tell Man Bao that we will treat them to this meal."

Zhou Lijun said: "My sister-in-law said no, Bai Shan paid for it, we can just give you a discount."

Wu Lang always cared about money, so he heard this and said, "Then save it and buy some vegetables and meat to go home to celebrate tomorrow."

He sighed: "The little money I earned with great difficulty has been spent. I guess Manbao doesn't have much money left. How will I explain to my fourth brother when he comes back?"

Saturday Lang didn't take it to heart, "Let's be honest, fourth brother has to understand, at least we all survived, right?"

Wu Wulang said: "You said it's easy, but I am going home. When my parents ask me, what will I say?"

During this period of time, he did some calculations, including calculations for the restaurant and Manbao's calculations quietly.

I found that Manbao made a lot more money than them, but he probably spent it almost all.

He estimated that she had spent almost the same on the medical fees and reward money given by the palace, as well as the money for selling flowers. The reward was shared equally last time, as well as the people who rewarded her through connections some time ago.

Wu Lang had a special feeling, "I always feel that Man Bao can't save money. She makes a lot of money, but she always seems like she can't keep it."

The four members of Lao Zhou's family nodded together and said, "Fifth brother, can you take the money from Man Bao and keep it?"

Saturday Lang was discouraged and said, "Forget it, Man Bao is the most like his father in this regard. If the money goes into her hands, no one can take it from her unless she is willing to do so."

The people in the box on the second floor were also talking. Man Bao poured tea for everyone and asked Yin You, "Is the military disaster on Jiannan Road serious?"

Yin You said: "I asked my father. He said that the war ended very quickly. Although some defeated troops scattered into the countryside, the main force was gathered by the Western Army. The remaining Tang County Magistrate and others will also be wiped out.

Nothing to fear."

He paused and then said: "But casualties in war are inevitable."

Seeing her asking such detailed questions, Ji Hao couldn't help but ask: "What, you want to go back to Mianzhou?"

Man Bao glanced at Bai Shanhou and said, "That's about right. I have to go back to celebrate the New Year."

Ji Hao said: "It's okay to spend time in the capital. It snows in winter, so it's not easy to travel."

Bai Shan glanced at him, frowned slightly, and changed the subject: "Master Ji will study in the Imperial College in the future?"

Ji Hao responded dully.

Originally, the family did not plan to let him enter the Imperial College to study so early. They felt that his temperament was still uncertain, so they planned to wait until he got engaged or got married and his personality became calmer before going to the Imperial College to study.

But now Ji Xiang felt that he could not stay in this position for long, and with Ji Xiang's official position, it was obvious that he could not favor Ji Hao to enter the Imperial Academy, so he enrolled in school early.

Even Prime Minister Ji didn't let him wait until next spring to enter school. Instead, he pestered Kong Jijiu for several days and stuffed him in.

He didn't notice anything wrong with this, but Bai Shan's eyes darkened and he began to think about it.

Even Feng Zongping couldn't help but look at Yi Ziyang and thought about it.

Man Bao and Bai Erlang looked at this, then turned to look at that, looked at each other, shrugged, lowered their heads, ate snacks and ignored them.

Although there were some quarrels, everyone was quite happy overall.

After they had a meal, they said goodbye and went home.

Mrs. Liu at home also knew about the posthumous gift. She heard this when she went to Mr. Wei to talk about the Xiang brothers today. She was so happy when she came back that she even drank a glass of wine.

Mrs. Zheng burned incense and offered sacrifices to Bai Qi. Then she went back to her room and wiped her tears. She obviously felt a lot of emotions.

"Master Wei said that Xiang Chao and Xiang Mingxue have been sent back to the prison. Xiang Chao can come out at any time. It's no problem if you want to see them, but it will take some time for Xiang Mingxue to come out." Liu

The old lady was a little tipsy now and said with a smile: "Although Xiang Mingxue failed to assassinate the King of Yizhou, he was excusable because of his failure. Therefore, Mr. Old Tang will not mention his execution, but he should be executed."

exile."

She whispered: "After all, the Queen Mother is still here."

"How can his legs be exiled?" Man Bao rolled his eyes and asked: "What if there are many people asking for mercy?"

Mrs. Liu then smiled and said: "You can give it a try. I listen to Mr. Wei. The Queen Mother is seriously ill. There may be a pardon before the year, except for those on death row."

Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other and both had some ideas.

Pardon can also be divided into several situations, such as exile. After pardon, it may be changed to imprisonment or confiscation of slaves; while the latter may be directly released as common people.

Some people with official titles have been demoted to common people. Once pardoned, it is possible to restore a little bit of title or official position.

Although the Jin Dynasty only had two dynasties, it had pardoned several times, and the situation was almost the same.

Then, Bai Shan, Bai Erlang and Man Bao began to blow all kinds of winds.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang began to sing and sing to Feng Zongping, Ji Hao, Yin You and others in the school, telling them how wealthy the Xiang family was in the past, how kind they were to tenants and local people, and how they suffered once they suffered.

Hard work to survive.

Everyone was not very interested in the first part, but they were very interested in the later part, in which Mingxue endured the humiliation and took the heavy burden of revenge. They were especially interested in how he contacted the righteous people among the victims to assassinate the King of Yizhou.

Seeing this, Bai Shan combined the script they took out from Man Bao and compiled the story of revenge against the Xiang family into a story that was ups and downs, majestic yet soul-stirring, and fascinated all the teenagers.

Then when they heard that such a hero not only had his hamstring broken by the King of Yizhou, but also was sentenced to exile, they all felt sorry for each other, so they went back to blow the table wind with their father or grandfather. If the wind was not strong enough, they would tell the story to their brothers.

Sisters, pester their mothers or grandmothers to come forward to blow the pillow wind.

The wind was so strong that one day when the emperor was flipping through the pamphlets, he found more than a dozen pamphlets pleading with Xiang Mingxue. He frowned and read through them. He still hadn't figured out why so many people suddenly mentioned Xiang Mingxue. A visit to Tai Chi Hall

, the prince who was accompanying him to dinner also said: "Father, the brothers of the Xiang family can be regarded as the victims. After all, all members of the family are gone, so why not just let them go."

The queen also said: "Let it go, don't make it publicized, and the queen mother probably won't pay attention to it now."

You can let him go, although it is against the law, but you can show mercy outside the law, but... "Why did you all think of interceding for brother Xiang?"
