Su Xun had no objection to Bao Zheng's words.

It is indeed a rare thing to treat Bao Zheng to a good meal.

In Su Xun's eyes, Bao Zheng is definitely a model of self-denial.

Although I receive a lot of salary every month, I live like an ascetic.

It's night.

The darkest place in the Bohai Mansion Yamen is definitely Bao Zheng's public apartment.

A piece of clothing can be washed until it turns completely white without changing, and the repairs and repairs can last for a long time.

A simple meal, a bowl of rice, a plate of vegetables, and a small plate of pickles is enough.

I never use candles, and I don't use some expensive lamp oil. Instead, I use very cheap vegetable oil as lamp oil.

After one night, my whole body was filled with the smell of vegetable oil.

The common people liked the smell of Bao Zheng very much, but the wealthy businessmen did not.

Bao Zheng didn't go out to restaurants on weekdays, nor did he go to treat others.

He always thinks that when someone invites him to a big meal, he must ask for something.

Even if he asked for nothing, he would remember it as a favor. In the future, he would not be able to refuse someone else's request, so he would not go to the lavish banquet.

It is precisely because of this that Bao Zheng saved a lot of money.

In the past, Su Xun always teased Bao Zheng, saying that Bao Zheng saved all that money to buy a betrothal gift worthy of Zhao Xu's status and to propose marriage to the royal family.

He also enthusiastically gave Bao Zheng advice to stop being so stubborn. He asked Bao Zheng to find Kou Ji as a matchmaker. As long as Kou Ji came forward, Bao Zheng could not only marry Zhao Xu without spending a penny, but also take advantage of the opportunity.

The royal family makes a fortune.

For this reason, Bao Zheng scolded Su Xun, but did not explain why he was saving money.

It wasn't until the Meng Xue from Bohai Mansion showed up that Su Xun finally knew why Bao Zheng was saving money.

Although elementary school is free, children's reading materials are also free in elementary school, and one meal at noon is also free.

But there are still places where money is needed.

That is clothes, shoes, books, candles, etc.

If children want to learn something other than words, they have to spend money.

The first time Su Xun saw Bao Zheng spending a lot of money was when Bao Zheng bought candles for his children.

It always gets dark earlier in Liao than in other parts of the Song Dynasty, especially in winter.

After the children arrived at the elementary school early in the morning, it was always dark.

When children are studying, they always borrow light in various ways.

But the only thing I could borrow was the candlelight under the corner of Mr. Mengxue's desk.

The children sitting at the back of the Montessori Club did not get any light at all.

Bao Zheng paid for candles for the children.

Su Xun felt that Bao Zheng was extremely stupid and asked Bao Zheng why he was reluctant to use candles and instead used candles for his children.

Bao Zheng chuckled and said to Su Xun at that time, "The smell of vegetable oil is not good, and the smoke from burning will make you dizzy after smelling it for a long time..."

With tears in his eyes, Su Xun scolded Bao Zheng for being a fool for a long time, and finally angrily rented out three shops in Bohai Fufu City that the merchants coveted.

Use the rent to buy candles for the kids.

The reason why Su Xun did this was because he knew that if he only bought candles for a child in the school, he would not be able to stop Bao Zheng from doing good deeds.

He must let all the children in Bohai Mansion use candles in order to stop Bao Zheng from doing good deeds.

Then came cotton-padded clothes, books, etc.

Su Xun finally rented out more than 30 shops to provide all the children in the Meng School with everything they needed, and then ended Bao Zheng's charity work.

Nowadays, the rent of more than 30 shops in Bohai Mansion is used to support the children.

Bao Zheng stubbornly believed that those things belonged to the imperial court, and everything he got should belong to the imperial court.

Su Xun almost threw the magistrate's seal in his hand at Bao Zheng's face.

He is the prefect of Bohai Prefecture. He uses the court's money to help the court do things, which is within the scope of his power.

Fortunately, Bao Zheng's kindness will always stay with the children.

If he pities everyone, then Su Xun selling the Bohai Mansion may not be enough for Zheng to do good deeds.

Now, this great virtuous man who is clearly in his twenties but lives his life as if he is seventy or eighty years old is leaving.

After dealing with those corrupt government officials, Bao Zheng packed up his luggage, took his old servants, and left Bohai Mansion in an ox cart.

On the newly built official road.

Su Xun walked toward the oxcart that was getting further away and shouted loudly, "If you really like her, then marry her... If you marry her, you won't have such a hard life."

Bao Zheng, who was sitting on the bullock cart, was a little dazed listening to Su Xun's words.

like?

Still don’t like it?

Bao Zheng is not sure.

He only occasionally thinks about his life after marrying Zhao Xu.

The conclusion I came to was that I couldn’t marry.

Marrying her would be harming her.

Bao Zheng has a very deep understanding of himself.

He is not a person who likes to enjoy happiness and is very stingy with himself and his family.

I always feel that money should be spent where it should be spent, rather than used for extravagance and waste.

The expensive bird's nests in Fanlou and the cheap soup cakes from street stalls can both fill your stomach. Why eat bird's nests?

It is fragrant, but it removes the craving for food and drink. Are there any other differences?

No.

Bao Zheng felt that he was a person who would not waste money on bird's nests, so he felt that Zhao Xu would definitely suffer hardship if he followed him.

Not only does he not like to enjoy happiness, he is also a very stubborn person.

If Zhao Xu brings a lot of money to marry, he will definitely use the money to do good things.

Therefore, Zhao Xu could not use the money to enjoy happiness.

The two of them might even quarrel over it.

So he couldn't go to Zhao Xu.

He didn't want to quarrel with Zhao Xu, nor did he want Zhao Xu to suffer with him.

Bao Zheng felt that everyone close to him would suffer hardship, but Han Qi felt that everyone close to him would enjoy happiness.

In the bamboo garden in Sichuan.

Han Qi sat cross-legged, with the breeze blowing and the bamboo leaves rustling.

The flower bear that broke into Du Fu's thatched cottage next to the bamboo garden and was now imprisoned in the bamboo garden gnawing bamboo.

Watching it holding the bamboo and chewing its food in a silly manner, Han Qi had a bright smile on his face.

The concubine was making tea. When she saw Han Qi looking at a disaster so fascinated, she couldn't help but whispered: "My husband seems to have a special liking for flower bears?"

She was pregnant with Du Fu's Thatched Cottage, and others wanted to skin her, but her husband actually saved her.

For this reason, he does not hesitate to bear the reputation of someone who indulges and commits murder."

Han Qi briefly drank the tea prepared by his concubine, took a sip, and put it on the table. "I still like the tea at your husband's house...I heard that there is a tea garden in Sichuan. Please let someone go and have a look later."

Speaking of this, Han Qi stared at the flower bear who was looking around for new bamboo in a daze, and laughed and said: "It is not my pet, but my husband likes it very much.

My husband raised a large group of animals in his house and allowed them to cause trouble in the house, pampering them to no end.

When I was studying at my husband's house, I always liked to watch it chewing bamboo in a silly manner. I always thought, how could there be such a silly thing in the world.

After leaving my husband's house, I rarely see this thing again.

Now that we encountered him again, we naturally had to rescue him.

It is a blessed one.”

The beloved concubine said in a dumbfounded voice: "It is more favored than my body..."

Han Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "Why are you comparing yourself to a beast?"

The concubine slowly moved into Han Qi's arms and whispered: "I always feel that my husband's love belongs to me alone."

Han Qi clicked his lips and said honestly: "Then I can't do it..."
