"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tang Xiuling frowned, "You don't need to worry about my affairs."

Tang Zhongling said: "Actually, I think King Wu is a good person!"

"Are you confused? Crazy Zhu can also be called pretty good?"

Tang Zhongling said: "Sister, you don't go out often, so you don't understand how highly the people praised King Wu. A few days ago, I was basically in charge of the relief work in our house. No matter how much porridge and steamed buns we had every day,

, don’t even care if it’s enough.

But I don’t know when the porridge and steamed buns in our house were no longer available for relief.

Only then did I know that most of the refugees had gone to Prince Wu's Mansion.

It was difficult for the imperial court to control them, but King Wu single-handedly controlled the refugees in the city.

If you go out on the streets again, will you still see victims and beggars all over the streets begging?"

Tang Xiuling thought for a while and shook her head, "It is indeed rare!"

"Not only are they rare, they are almost extinct!" Tang Zhongling said: "Isn't this the skill of King Wu?"

"But as a nobleman of the royal family, he has a lowly career..."

"Don't we have business in our family?" Tang Zhongling looked at her sister, "There are hundreds of people in the Tang family, and they have to spend dozens of taels a day just for food.

Dad, my brothers work hard, practice martial arts, take ginseng tonic every day, and study literature. Those expensive Four Treasures of the Study often cost tens or dozens of taels.

Every now and then, my brother would invite the people below to dinner, ranging from ten taels to more than a hundred taels.

Those aunts also wanted rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry and silk and satin. After a month, this would cost thousands of taels.

Even my sister's monthly income is more than one hundred taels.

Ordinary people's families are considered wealthy if their family can save ten taels of silver.

Sister, have you ever thought about where the money comes from?

We can't earn so much money from our shop and fields.

I made a rough calculation and found that after one month, I would need five to six thousand taels of silver.

It will cost at least 60,000 taels a year."

Tang Xiuling was silent. She really didn't care much about this. She had never been short of money since she was sensible.

"The King of Wu is in charge of more than 100,000 people. At least until now, we haven't heard from the victims that they are starving and freezing in the King of Wu's place.

On the contrary, everyone is well fed, clothed and provided with a living, and even the children have books to read, and they have three meals a day.

This month's expenditure is tens of thousands taels.

The King of Wu neither stole nor robbed, nor plundered the wealth and wealth of the people, nor became a vassal, but he was able to achieve this, which is really remarkable!" Tang Zhongling said: "This all shows that the King of Wu has great kindness. It is said that the King of Wu is a gambler, a fighter, and a prodigal.

Are there still a lot of dandies in the capital?

Everyone is covering up, and if there are five or six people who go out, how many of them will be beaten when they go home?"

Tang Xiuling was left speechless. She said angrily: "When did you pay so much attention to Crazy Zhu?"

Tang Zhongling blushed, "I don't pay attention to him deliberately, I just hear news about him from time to time. When King Wu was crowned, hundreds of thousands of people sent him to see him off. Sister, have you seen it too?"

If the people didn't really love King Wu, how could they be so?

You must not let those gossips blind you.

I know that you and Brother Quan are in love with each other. No matter how good King Wu is, you can't tolerate him in your eyes.

But it’s hard to violate the divine command. If you don’t want to marry, I’ll marry him!”

Tang Xiuling looked her sister up and down and reacted suddenly, "Do you like Crazy Zhu?"

Tang Zhongling lowered his head, looked at his toes, and tangled his fingers together, "I can't say that I like him, I just think he is a good person."

Tang Xiuling said: "Don't lie to me. Although what you said makes sense, if you guess wrong, it will be a pit of fire.

I won't let you go in for me."

Tang Zhongling said: "I understand you. You and Brother Quan have the same heart. Even if you marry the King of Wu, I'm afraid you won't be willing to accept it.

Rather than suffer, it's better...I'll go.

I don't pity you.

I just hope you are doing well.

You say King Wu is a pit of fire, but I don't think so.

All you see is his bad side, but you don't see his good side.

How can anyone be perfect in this world?

Moreover, you and Sister Miaojin are as close as sisters. It would be awkward to live together in the future.

I don’t have such concerns.”

Tang Zhongling is not very favored. Compared with Tang Xiuling and the other two little sisters, she is more transparent.

Tang Xiuling stared at her, "Let me think about it!"

"Then you have to think faster. The longer you delay, the harder it will be!" Tang Zhongling turned and left. The reason why she stood up was that she really wanted to help her.

Secondly, because of the martial arts practice, the family was in a state of unrest. She knew Tang Xiuling's character, and if she married Zhu Jun, there would definitely be more trouble in the future.

Furthermore, she really didn't hate Zhu Jun, especially after getting to know this person, she felt more and more that this person was flesh and blood, affectionate and righteous, and a person with great kindness and great love.

As for gambling and fighting, which one of her father and brother doesn't gamble?

When you get drunk, you pick up your weapons and start fighting, which is called sparring.

Even other lords occasionally reported cases of bullying the people.

But Zhu Jun, really not!

She didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong, but she would never regret it.

It was getting dark, so Tang Xiuling secretly left the mansion and came to the place Liao Quan said.

This place is a quiet courtyard.

"Brother Quan!" Tang Xiuling came to the backyard and looked at Liao Quan who was sitting in the pavilion waiting. The food on the table was already cold.

Hearing the voice, Liao Quan turned his head suddenly and was immediately overjoyed, "Xiu Ling, you are finally here. I thought you were going to abandon me too!"

He was so excited that he rushed over to hug her.

However, Tang Xiuling stopped him, pointed at the word 'filial piety' on his arm and said, "Brother Quan, no!"

Liao Quan was a little drunk after drinking. After hearing Tang Xiuling's words, he sobered up a lot and said quickly: "Sorry, I, I'm just too excited!"

Tang Xiuling said: "I came here today to tell you that I have never wavered from the beginning to the end. You really shouldn't write letters to force me."

"Sister, I'm sorry, I, I, I really..."

"You said you wish me happiness, do you think I can be happy if I marry King Wu?" Tang Xiuling said, "You have been a filial piety to your father for three years, have I ever wavered?

Have my father and brother ever wavered? Have they ever said that they would betroth me to someone else? Didn’t they tacitly agree that I would accompany you to observe my filial piety?

I'm not a member of your Liao family, but I can do this, why don't you think about me?"

Liao Quan felt extremely ashamed after saying these words.

"You also asked me to elope with you and go to the far end of the world, then have you ever thought about what will happen to my family?

I am happy to leave you. Do you want to see my father and brother punished by Your Majesty because of me?

It would be fine if it was just a punishment, but resisting an order is a serious crime of beheading.
