Chapter 359 Xiaoman and Tangshuang both knelt down
Xiaoman and Jiuyue also returned to Mulanyuan with Jing Chunxi.
After entering the house, Xiaoman knelt down in front of Jing Chunxi. He really felt that he was wrong in that incident. He was wrong for not being alert, and his mistake almost led to a big mistake.
When Frost, who had returned earlier than them, saw this, he remembered that he had sneaked out without permission, and he also knelt down.
Chuntao also knelt behind Tang Shuang because she did not keep a close eye on him.
Several people said to Jing Chunxi: "This servant is wrong, please punish me, young lady."
Jing Chunxi had a headache. Things happened earlier than originally planned, and he still needed to think carefully about the next step. He had no time to deal with their affairs.
But she still felt that the punishment should be imposed, otherwise how could she ensure that the order was not in vain? However, when faced with urgent matters that needed to be resolved in her mind, the urgency was not so great, and the punishment had to be postponed.
Jing Chunxi waved his hands helplessly and said, "Chun Tao stays here. The two of you go out and stay well. Pay attention to when Uncle Qi and the others come back. Don't bother me."
From what the young lady said, one could tell that she was still angry. Xiaoman and Tangshuang wanted to say a few soft words to cheer her up, so they knelt still until she was forgiven, each with their own thoughts.
Chun Tao stood up and saw that they were still not leaving. She became furious and quickly called out to Jiu Yue: "What are you still standing there for? Take them out and throw them away."
Under Jing Chunxi's extremely intimidating gaze, the two men finally got up by themselves, walked out and looked back every three steps, hoping that the lady would suddenly call out their names.
After they left, it was finally quieter. Jing Chunxi took off his nightgown and lay on the bed. He had a real headache and didn't have the sense of accomplishment of a victory at all.
Something unexpected happened, so the steps were moved forward. Two corrupt officials died. What should we do now?
"Chun Tao."
Jing Chunxi thought for a long time and finally had an idea. She didn't get up, but lay on the bed and ordered directly: "Call Xiaoman in."
Chuntao was a little confused. What was going on, young lady? It didn't matter whether she punished him or not. She had just called him out, and now she was calling him back. She was really going back on her word and not serious at all.
The two people who should have been punished the most are still peeking around outside, looking very unruly.
However, Chuntao accepted the young lady's decision and went out.
Just as he reached the door, Jing Chunxi said from behind: "See when Uncle Qi and Chongsan come back, and then ask them to gather together."
Jing Chunxi had something on his mind and couldn't even close his eyes while lying in bed. He simply jumped up and went to the desk in the side room.
Frost had already followed silently, but she didn't dare to speak in front of the young lady.
Jing Chunxi took out the official seal of the county magistrate's office from the space, and looked at the beige seal, which was not of very good quality, over and over again. He even hated it a little. The official was holding this seal to benefit the people, but this corrupt official took people's lives lightly, which was extremely hateful.
He stared at the paper and pen on the desk and continued thinking. Before he even started to hold the pen, Sugar Frost stood beside him and started grinding ink.
"Notice of opening warehouses to sell grain, notice of free porridge distribution by the Ceramics Chamber of Commerce"
When Xiaoman walked in, Jing Chunxi had just written two titles in large characters, and Chuntao read them out loud.
Chuntao was already literate. Although Xiaoman and Tangshuang did not like studying, they had studied under a teacher in the provincial school and could recognize about 70% of the characters.
Xiao Man's brain circuits were very quick. When she saw the word "grain", she exclaimed in surprise: "Did Master Tao rob the dog official's granary as well?"
In fact, several people could only think so. After all, the food brought in from Qingshanzhuang was still in Ezhou, and the quantity was not large. Even if it was brought in, it would not be enough for the people to fill their stomachs, and the porridge would only be enough for a few days at most.
Jing Chunxi did not answer them, but continued to write the corresponding clauses while thinking.
The price of selling grain in exchange for grain was originally agreed upon with Liu Guangfa, and it only needs to be announced as is, but the time to start selling grain must be advanced.
Giving out porridge was a temporary idea so that the beggars in the city who had nothing, as well as those poor people who had no silver, porcelain or tea to buy or exchange for food, could have a half-full meal as soon as possible.
Providing food themselves, while leaving the reputation of great charity to the local Chamber of Commerce and century-old prominent families, and even to Gantang Town and the ceramic village. I believe this will more easily inspire their enthusiasm and more easily mobilize the people in the village and town to actively participate in the charity.
Then, such a good deed is not the work of one or a few people, but of a group of people, a town, or even a city. In the future, whether it is investigating crimes or rewarding merits, it will not be just one person.
"Miss, why are you so fast?"
Suddenly, Ah Qi's voice came from outside the door. When they came out of the secret passage and passed by here, they saw the lights on in the yard and saw Jiuyue guarding them at the door. Only then did they realize that the young lady had returned.
Frosting muttered softly, "The young master is more capable than you. He's been back for a long time."
Ah Qi and Chong San shook their heads speechlessly. Qiyue, who followed in, touched Tang Shuang's face. He had such a big body, but how could he still be so cute?
"After we finished our work, we wanted to go over to help, but when we got there we found a mess. There was a man with a broken leg who was still alive and wanted us to save him, so we ran away in a hurry." Ah Qi said loudly as he entered the door.
They knocked Cui Huaping and Xichun unconscious and sent them over. They took a walk along the way and came back when they didn't see the young lady, which is why they were late.
Jing Chunxi asked them to find a stool and sit down, saying, "You're glad to be back. I'm afraid it's hard to rest today. I still have things to do later."
It was already past midnight, and in two hours it would be dawn.
Jing Chunxi finally put down his pen, and Chuntao said everyone was present. Only then did Jing Chunxi read the contents of the two notices to them.
