As soon as I returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, I saw Mu Yingbao standing at the kitchen door directing people about what to do.

"Mother? What are you doing?" Brother Hui asked curiously as he looked at the rice spread on the bamboo plate and people constantly bringing rice out of the kitchen.

"Nothing to do. The chef in the kitchen was confused today and washed too much rice, so he spread it out." Xue Wenyu on the side said seriously.

Brother Hui was helpless after hearing this: "Father, are you happy teasing your son?"

When he just came in, his father was smiling when he saw him. Brother Hui knew without asking that it was 100% because he was very satisfied with Liu Quan's speed and results.

"Mother." Brother Hui turned around and complained to his mother.

Mu Yingbao immediately reached out and patted her man: "Can you act a little more like a father?

The wife didn't use much strength to hit him. Xue Wenyu smiled at Brother Hui, without any intention of self-reproach. On the contrary, he looked a little proud and boastful.

Mu Yingbao was helpless to see her husband like this, so she simply ignored him and walked aside with her arm around her son's shoulders: "Don't argue with him, this rice is going to be used to make frozen rice candy, so it has to be frozen outside first, and then it can be fried in a pot to swell, and then it can be made into candy.

I plan to make more so that I can eat them myself before the Spring Festival and also give them to ministers as Spring Festival gifts. It has to be a little special for the first time.

The mother and daughter had discussed the issue of distributing benefits during the Spring Festival in advance, and had reserved the quantity and types from pastry shops and candied fruit shops in Beijing in advance. Even the outer packaging was designed by the mother and daughter together.

Now the Commerce Department of Yan State is doing quite well. With the plug-in of Mu Yingbao, the business has even expanded to foreign countries.

The treasury of Yan State was well-off, and some holiday benefits were distributed to civil and military officials before the Spring Festival.

Not only the officials who attended court every day, but also those who did odd jobs in the palace were included.

As for other local officials in Yan State, they cannot be taken care of this year.

However, half a month ago, Brother Hui issued an edict that any family in Yan State with an elderly person over 60 years old could go to the local Hengmen to register and receive 500 coins before the New Year.

One tael of silver is equal to ten coins. Although five hundred coins may not sound like a lot, it is enough for the most fortunate people to have a good Spring Festival.

Although this dynasty did not have the ugly custom of despising the elderly like many dynasties, because life was difficult, the elderly did not have to despise themselves, as they felt that they were a burden to their children and grandchildren.

In modern times, Mu Yingbao's understanding of nursing homes is that they are places where childless and lonely elderly people go. However, in reality, most of the elderly people in nursing homes now have children.

There were some things that I went on my own because I didn't want to burden my children, and there were other things that I went on after being gently persuaded by my children.

When Mu Yingbao was still in modern times, he couldn't understand why modern living conditions are getting better and better, but everyone's life pressure is getting greater and greater. It's so great that raising children is stressful, and supporting the elderly is also stressful.

Respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue, but I don’t know since when, these four words have been quietly separated.

Since you can't give up your own child, you can only sacrifice the parents who gave birth to you and raised you.

Many people on the Internet say that not everyone can enter a nursing home if they want to, and some people cannot afford to go in.

Mu Yingbao doesn't think she is a saint. Every time she sees news online about people who have children but still go to nursing homes, she never comments. Although she really wants to say something, saying that this is a kind of sadness, she dare not say it.

Even if I say it, I'm afraid I'll just get a lot of criticism from keyboard warriors. Besides that, what else can I expect?

Therefore, in this dynasty, the son is the biggest boss, and Mu Yingbao has instilled in Brother Hui the idea of ​​respecting the elderly and loving the young.

Mencius said: "Respect the old, and then respect the old of others; love the young, and then love the young of others. The world can be controlled in the palm of your hand." It means: "Respect your own elders, and then respect the elders of others; care for your own children, and then love the children of others. If you can do this, the ideal of peace and prosperity for the country will be as easy to achieve as a thing in the palm of your hand."

Brother Hui also expressed this to the civil and military officials, and Mu Yingbao was very pleased.

However, Mu Yingbao also told the children that respecting the elderly is something that should be respected and deserves respect, but people like Xue Wenyu's family do not need to be respected.

In fact, it was Brother Hui who proposed to give money to the elderly all over the country during the Spring Festival. He initially planned to give each person one or two taels of silver, but when the number of elderly people in the country was counted, Brother Hui sighed helplessly and said that he couldn't do it at the moment, so he reduced the amount by half to 500 coins.

Mu Yingbao encouraged the child at that time, saying that it was already very good and that he should take it step by step and things would get better and better.

Watching the mother and daughter whispering to each other, Xue Wenyu, who felt left out, knew that they must be thinking about Xiao again.

Thinking that it was not easy for the child, Xue Wenyu comforted himself and did not go forward to fight for the person.

No matter what these two mothers discussed, there were only two possibilities: one was a good thing for good people, and the other was a bad thing for a small number of people.

No matter which one it is, as long as this mother and daughter want to do something, there is nothing they can't do.

Even though they are just a teenager and a young woman, they don't do anything on impulse. They have considered and prepared every aspect very carefully, which makes Xue Wenyu very proud.

Isn’t it true that one of them is his wife and the other is his son?

So what if he is not his biological son? He and Xue Zhenggang, the Marquis of Anding, are biological sons. What was the result? Haha!

Xue Wenyu shook his head. Why compare him to that person? It would affect his mood. It would be better to continue to watch the mother and daughter and mutter to each other.

"Hey, kid, aren't you curious about what those two are up to next?" Old Master Tao came over and asked in a low voice, holding the good tea brewed by Nanzhu in his hand.

Hearing this, Xue Wenyu glanced at the old man and suddenly smiled.

The old man realized something was wrong: "Zai, what do you want to do to Xiao?"

"Yingbao, Brother Hui, the old man said bad things about you two, saying that you are going to make trouble again." Xue Wenyu complained loudly in the direction of his wife, regardless of the old man's obstruction.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head.

"Why are you hitting me? I'm a first-rank duke." Xue Wenyu protested, holding his head.

"Why are you hitting me? I am a first-rank duke." Xue Wenyu protested while covering his beaten head.

A first-rank duke was beaten in public, how shameless!

"Oh, so what if you're a first-rank duke? I'm also the grandfather of the first-rank lady! What, I can't beat you?" The old man was very arrogant, as if he was going to slap you in the face if you keep talking nonsense.

The people who were busy preparing frozen rice all tried hard not to laugh out loud when they saw the scene here. After all, it was rare to see the Duke being defeated.

Of course, it was common for the wife to pick up and pat her master on weekdays, but that was just an act of affection between the couple.

Everyone was curious about how the mother and daughter would react and who they would help...
