"Who would have thought that every grain of food on the plate is hard-earned. One meter and one grain is hard-earned. Looking at you all, you are well-dressed and well-dressed. I think you are all well-to-do and favored children.
If you want to keep your family property and succeed in your studies, you must not be ignorant of the sufferings of the world, let alone waste food, otherwise, God will abandon you."
Meng Jia calmly taught the teenagers a lesson, with a stern look in his eyes, "Will you do it again in the future?"
"No way, no way!" the teenagers shouted.
Indeed, they are all the sons of the wealthy and well-known officials in Jiangxia City, and they have never done any evil.
Such a small joke was considered harmless, so it was done as it was done. It was just bad luck that the King of Chu happened to bump into it.
Then they ate the dirty omelette and wiped the street clean with their sleeves. They were embarrassed and punished, that's about it.
"I think you do have the intention to repent," Meng Jia said.
"I'm sorry! I changed it!" The teenagers were overjoyed, thinking that the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, Meng Jia said lightly, "Since you are so sincere, you will be responsible for cleaning the streets in Jiangxia City this month. You must do it yourself to ensure that the streets are clean at all times. Anyone who hires someone to do it for him or cannot keep it clean will be punished."
double."
The young men were shocked and thought they had heard wrongly.
They didn't dare to ask the King of Chu, so they whispered to each other, "Did I hear you right? You are asking us to sweep the streets? One month?"
"That's what it means? But we don't understand it either."
"No, I can't accept this insult. Our old Wang family has never had a street sweeper..."
While everyone was discussing, Meng Jia had already turned around and left. The guards shouted loudly, "Who is not convinced? Go to Nanshan to collect slates for a month!"
Ji Qilang raised his head and looked at Meng Jia's back.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but she just seemed to feel that the Lord seemed to have looked at her specifically before leaving, and even whispered a few words to the guards.
This is because I think she, the leader who has done bad things, must not be spared lightly, and I want to catch her pigtails, right?
She trembled, raised her arms and shouted, "Resolutely obey! Start with me! Sweep the streets honestly..."
Mengjia never looked back, mounted his horse and drove away.
Ji Qilang's voice disappeared instantly. She grabbed her brother, blinked her eyes, squeezed out two tears, and looked pitifully at the guard.
"Brother guard, we are orphans and were forced by their scheme. I didn't mean it, I am a victim.
But it’s not that I don’t want to work, it’s just that you can’t let me go with them? They will continue to bully me and harm me.”
"Ji Qilang, what are you talking about? Are there people like you? Who bullies whom? Who harms whom? It's all your fault! If not, how would we be punished?"
The crowd was excited, and Ji Qilang trembled, "Brother, guard, look, there is a mountain of ironclad evidence..."
The guard looked at her lightly and said, "The street in front of the palace belongs to you."
"Ah?" Ji Qilang was shocked. Did she really succeed in begging for mercy?
Who doesn’t know that the cleanest place is in front of the palace? Who dares to throw garbage in front of the palace when they are tired of life?
"Don't want to go?" The guard raised his eyebrows and glared.
"I want to go, I want to go, I want to go so much, where's the broom? I'll start working right now!" Ji Qilang shouted loudly, running and jumping, and rushed towards the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
"Wait for me!" Her brother chased after her with a look of helplessness on his face.
