I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

Chapter 124: How to deal with naughty children?

"Ah? Naughty kid? I've never given birth, so I have no experience." Chen Bianbian said to Zeng Qianer, then looked at Shangguan Yue.

"How to deal with naughty kids? Don't look at me, I'm the youngest, I'm still a child!" She never got married in her previous life, and she's still a little girl in this life, so she has no experience.

But even if you have never seen a pig running, you have eaten pork, right? I do remember some tricks on the Internet about how to deal with naughty kids in my previous life, which is to go against them.

If you don't spoil them, they will either behave even more naughty than other naughty kids. It's like competing with your parents. If your parents are powerful, they will crush you.

But why does this seem to come back to her? She is a child now, and she can really win by relying on her parents!

Shangguan Yan was many levels higher than Cheng Rui, Chen Bianbian was a first-rank official, and Zeng Qian'er had no rank.

"Little sister is the most suitable. Although you are a few months older than Yu'er, you are the elder of her and Heng'er, and you are of the same age, so you two will definitely be able to chat well.

Besides, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to teach them well." Zeng Qianer had an indescribable confidence in Shangguan Yue. Looking back now, she really spoiled her two little ancestors too much.

My brother and sister-in-law have three children, but my nephews and nieces are all well educated, but my own two are simply unbearable.

"It's okay for me to help you educate them, but don't feel bad when the time comes. Don't let me educate them while you take care of them."

Like many modern families, the mother educates the children while the parents-in-law or the father stands by and gives orders.

Not only will it be difficult to teach a naughty child if someone supports him, but the child will become even worse.

Forget it. They may not meet each other. They are living in Biewan now instead of Cheng Mansion, so she will return to Yuecheng after the disaster relief work, and there will be no chance for them to meet.

"Don't worry. There is harm only when there is comparison. When I see you and my nephew, I will definitely be like a stepmother to them. I won't feel bad until they get better."

The distribution of relief supplies in Lincheng is proceeding as normal and nothing major has occurred.

Cheng Rui could also spare some free time to think about things. For some reason, the two children at home suddenly became very rebellious. Every time they came back from school, the servants said that the teacher in the school criticized the children every day.

Aren't children this young always naughty sometimes? At home, he didn't think his child was like what the teacher said. Isn't it normal for classmates to quarrel and fight sometimes?

He was usually busy with official duties, so the children were always taken care of by their mother. He occasionally tutored them and checked their homework. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But as a mother, it's been a month since she went back to her parents' home! She disappeared without a trace after she left, showing no responsibility as a mother at all.

"Xiao He, has the lady sent any letter?"

"Sir, I wrote to Madam half a month ago, but Madam did not reply."

Xiao He also found it very strange. In the past, his wife would never stay away for more than two nights, and she had never not come back for a month, and she never wrote to him.

"Have you written a letter? Maybe the lady didn't receive it? I'll write a letter and you can have someone send it to Yuecheng! You don't even take care of your child, and you're not acting like a mother anymore."

Cheng Rui was a little dissatisfied. There was no quarrel between them, and he didn't understand why she ran back to her parents' home without saying a word.

I don’t know if the poisoning has made her brain stupid. I will ask the doctor to check her brain after I come back. A young child cannot be without a mother and needs her care.

"Sir, Madam Cheng actually..." Xiao He felt that Madam Cheng was a very perfect person. She had a good family background, was good-looking, had a good temper, and had a generous dowry.

Marrying such a perfect wife, anyone would wake up laughing in the middle of the night. Even his father, who is very upright and stubborn, would not try to please his wife.

Not to mention the care and concern, he always has a stern face every day, it's really unfair to me.

"Okay, go down! I'll write the letter and put it on the table. You can take it and have someone deliver it tomorrow."

"Yes."

Royal Palace

"Your Majesty, the city has sent three more urgent reports, Your Majesty is running low on food and other resources.

In addition, most of the disaster victims have poured into Lincheng, causing emergency relief for Lincheng. Lincheng is now flooded with refugees, the relief grain has long been distributed, and the Lincheng prefect has already sent two urgent reports.

We are in urgent need of food, medicine, and clothing. Your Majesty, please arrange for the food to be sent as soon as possible to avoid riots. After all, Lincheng is too close to our imperial city."

The ministers were anxious. If an epidemic broke out and spread to Yuecheng, it would be troublesome.

"You think I am not anxious. The national treasury is empty. We just fought a war half a year ago, which almost emptied the national treasury. Now Yicheng, Lincheng, and other cities surrounding Yicheng are asking me for money, food, medicine, and clothing. Can my national treasury produce money on its own?

You are all my trusted ministers, but you can't help me at all. You just ask me for money every day. What use do I have for you?"

When the emperor was angry, millions of people died and blood flowed for thousands of miles. All the ministers were so frightened that they fell to the ground and trembled.

"Your Majesty, good news!" A eunuch outside the palace happily ran into the palace with the clues.

The ministers kneeling in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. This was good news. The emperor would not be angry, and their heads would be saved.

The emperor looked at the intelligence in his hand. Since the disaster occurred, he had secretly sent people to investigate in various cities related to the disaster.

He wanted to understand the severity of the disaster, mainly because the disaster city was too close to the imperial city. Who wouldn't be afraid of death? What if an epidemic broke out...

He cherished his life, but he had no money! So they couldn't get as much money as they wanted, but he didn't expect that someone would help him so much at this critical moment.

"Hahaha, good, good, good! As expected of the general's wife, the general's daughter, a good father will have a good son!

My dear minister Zeng really wins my heart. He silently shares my worries without saying a word. You are really my dear minister!

Mr. Zeng, your family are all heroes! Even your married daughters did not forget the national crisis and donated their dowries and personal money to disaster relief.

What about the rest of you? How do you do it? You only ask me for money when you have something to do. Look at how others do it, how do you do it?

Order that other cities with flooded victims can follow the example of Lincheng, and the officials should raise funds together, or mobilize private wealthy merchants to donate, and tide over the difficulties together. "

The old emperor was very happy when he looked at his ministers below. He finally had the chance to pass the blame to them. They should stop bothering him for money every day, which was useless.

This old minister and Shangguan Yan really did a good thing for him. He needs to think about how to reward them best.

He is short of money, so why not ask for help from a higher-up or give him some honor?
