After Lao Zhu learned about Princess Anqing's intention to come, he suddenly felt a little uninterested and desolate.

I wanted to scold my daughter, but when I thought about killing her husband, I couldn't.

As a last resort, Lao Zhu could only give Anqing an excuse and pass it off.

"Go and persuade your sister-in-law, she is the saddest one..."

As soon as An Qing heard her father's words, she knew that there was no chance of today's matter. But when she heard the word "sister-in-law", she still raised her eyebrows.

"My daughter only recognizes Ms. Chang as her sister-in-law, and Ms. Lu is not worthy of her!"

"Zhongzhong!"

"You can admit whatever you like, go over and comfort them quickly."

"No matter how you say it, your nephew is a relative, right?"

"Then my daughter resigns..."

An Qing bowed to Lao Zhu and then went to the inner room to talk.

In fact, she has never been a talkative person. Although she came to comfort her on the order of her father, she has been sitting aside dryly, listening to what the eldest sister and second sister said, while she just nodded in agreement.

Princess Ningguo said a few symbolic words, then got up and went outside. Seeing her father sitting in the mourning hall and sulking, she quickly stepped forward to give her father a shoulder and a pat on his back.

Lao Zhu happily grabbed his daughter's hand, patted the back of her hand and said.

"Finally, I have a caring little cotton-padded jacket!"

Princess Ningguo is the legitimate daughter. She has been doted on by her father and mother since she was a child, and she gets along very easily with Lao Zhu.

Now that he heard Lao Zhu praising him so much, Ning Guo smiled and then said mischievously.

"Father is so ridiculous!"

"Actually, the eldest sister and the fourth sister are also very good. When they learned that their nephew died in infancy, they were afraid that their father would be sad, so they rushed over..."

"well!"

How could Lao Zhu not know the filial piety of his other two daughters? It's just that this filial piety has deteriorated a bit.

"Don't talk about those two, let's talk about you."

"How was your life with Mei Yin? Did that guy bully you?"

Princess Ningguo said with a smile when she heard this.

"He dares?"

"It would be nice if my daughter doesn't bully him, hee hee..."

"By the way, my daughter is entering the palace today, and she has one more thing to entrust to her father..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately felt a headache and quickly stopped Princess Ning Guo.

"Declaration in advance!"

"If you are like that shameless guy from Anqing, and you are also concerned about your nephew's family background, then don't talk to us about it!"

"It's not easy for your eldest nephew to save some wealth. The kid himself is reluctant to spend it, so he uses it to save dowries for his younger sisters."

"You aunts don't care about helping that child. How can you act like thieves and worry about your nephew's property?"

When Princess Ningguo heard what her father said, she immediately called out to Chong Tian Qu.

"Father, don't you think too much of your daughter?"

"Today, my daughter wants to ask her father to return the shares that her eldest nephew exchanged for grain to him!"

"You see?"

"My daughter brought all the vouchers and so on!"

As Princess Ning Guo spoke, she took out a cloth bag from her sleeve and opened it in front of Lao Zhu, revealing a stack of equity certificates inside.

After Lao Zhu saw it, he was really happy.

This seems to have been prepared in advance, not a spur-of-the-moment idea because of what he said.

"Ning Guo, we are so happy that you have such a heart!"

"Your mother, your eldest brother will also be happy for you if he knows about this!"

"But you can keep this small share, and I will treat you as my aunt."

"From now on, if you and Mei Yin look after the child, you will be able to return his favor."

"Father!"

"My daughter is not short of money. Both my daughter and Mei Yin are supported by the court's salary. My daughter also opened several grain stores, which is enough for us to live well."

"If we continue to take advantage of our eldest nephew, how will we explain to our queen mother and eldest brother when we go there in the future?"

"You still..."

When Princess Ningguo and Lao Zhu were giving in to each other, they suddenly heard a young man's voice coming from behind them.

"Second aunt, just keep this. It's my nephew's honor to you."

"In addition, my nephew started these two chambers of commerce not only to make money, but also to find a new way out for our royal family."

When Ning Guo and Lao Zhu heard what Zhu Yunxi said, they immediately looked at the little guy curiously.

"How do you say this?"

Zhu Yunxi bowed to Lao Zhu and then spoke.

"Grandpa Huang, your current behavior of mixing state affairs with family affairs is not a long-term solution at all."

"Now that our royal family has a small number of people, the court can still afford the salary."

"But a few hundred years later, our royal family has multiplied much more, producing hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. What will happen when the court cannot afford it?"

"this……"

Lao Zhu was stunned on the spot when he heard this. He had never thought about such a problem before.

"Dasun, are you a bit alarmist?"

Princess Ning Guo was also a math idiot and asked similar questions to Lao Zhu.

"My eldest nephew, aren't you right? There are only a few dozen people in the royal family now, why are there hundreds of thousands or millions?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the puzzled eyes of the two people and said.

"Grandpa Huang, Second Aunt, do you two know what exponential growth is?"

The two shook their heads honestly. Lao Zhu was already good at math, but he was only limited to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. He didn't understand what exponential growth was at all.

In other words, not many people in the entire Ming Dynasty knew about it, probably only Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi saw that the two of them didn't even know the index level, so he didn't bother to explain.

"never mind!"

"Let's talk about this later. In short, Grandpa Huang and Second Aunt understand one thing, that is, if our royal family wants to thrive, we cannot rely on financial transfers from the court. We have to find a way on our own."

"My grandson is trying to find a way out for our royal family. It is a new attempt."

Lao Zhu had his own views on this and did not agree with Da Sun's words.

In his opinion, it is only natural that one's own country can support one's own family.

It's just that it's really not the right time to talk about this matter right now. At least we have to wait until the eldest grandson becomes the grandson in the future, or succeeds him and becomes the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"By the way, what are you doing here?"

"You're also here to pay homage to your brother?"

Zhu Yunxi actually came to see Lao Zhu, but seeing what Lao Zhu said, he could only climb up the pole.

"yes!"

"My grandson is here to pay homage to Zhu Yunxi. By the way, he is here to say hello to Grandpa Huang and to meet some of his aunts."

After Zhu Yunxi said this, he ran over to burn incense at Zhu Yunxi's mourning hall, and symbolically threw a handful of paper into the brazier.

As soon as Lao Zhu saw his perfunctory look, he knew that his grandson was telling the truth. But there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Zhu Yunxi was still young. Although he and his grandson were called brothers, they actually didn't see each other several times a year.

.

Moreover, with Lu's big heart, it is impossible for Zhu Yunxi to play with Zhu Yunxi in his arms, and it will be even more difficult to establish a brotherhood between the two.

In fact, Zhu Yunxi really didn't have much impression of Zhu Yunxi.

Because every time I saw the child, he was wrapped up tightly by the palace maids and eunuchs, and I couldn't even see his little face. How could there be so many overflowing emotions?

The reason why he ran over was just because he heard Lao Zhu coming and chased after him to ask for an answer.

Lao Zhu finished burning the paper for his younger brother in Dasun, and then he asked.

"Why did you hide it from us?"

"You shouldn't have hidden such a big thing from us."
