At the same time, Xianshu Palace
Lao Zhu, Queen Ma, and Zhu Xiongying were having breakfast.
Lao Zhu drank porridge just like drinking water. He drank all the porridge in the bowl in three or two gulps.
The rule of Lao Zhu's family is that if you don't talk while eating, you can talk after eating.
Unable to speak, but Lao Zhu was holding back enough, he looked at his eldest grandson and asked with golden eyes,
"Grandson, do you think Chang Er can handle this matter?"
Queen Ma rolled her eyes at Lao Zhu and said dissatisfied,
"Heroi is eating, Chongba, can you stop being so anxious every day?"
Zhu Zhuyuanzhang laughed twice, scratched his head and said,
"Sister, we are just anxious about this!"
"Then don't say it while eating. You can't even wait for one more stick of incense?"
"Okay, okay, we understand. Let's wait for the eldest grandson to finish eating."
"Grandpa, I've finished eating."
Zhu Xiongying happened to drink all the porridge in the bowl, put down the bowl, looked at his grandfather and said with a smile,
This smile made Zhu Yuanzhang look confused. Who said that good looks can't be eaten? What our eldest grandson looks like is pleasing to the eye!
Queen Ma stopped and said, "Xiongying, don't spoil your grandpa all the time. Do you want more porridge? Grandma will serve you some?"
"Grandma, I don't want my grandson~ I'm full~"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Queen Ma proudly,
Look, our eldest grandson is still facing us!
Queen Ma raised her hand and was about to hit him. Zhu Yuanzhang was so frightened that he shrank his neck and quickly began to pretend to be pitiful.
This bearish behavior made Empress Ma smile.
Seeing that the girl was amused, Zhu Yuanzhang began to look proud again,
"Grandpa, my second uncle should have no problem handling this matter. Xia Yuanji has already reported this matter to me."
Zhu Yuanzhang was not relieved after hearing this and asked,
"Grandson, why do we always feel that this matter is a bit suspenseful? We were so worried last night that we couldn't sleep for half the night..."
"Hi! You're still awake for half the night. Who was Zhu Chongba if you weren't the one who snored and farted in the middle of the night last night?"
Empress Ma couldn't hold it back any longer, and said to the side:
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his dark face turned red, and he said anxiously,
"Sister, why are you talking about everything outside? Can you give me some face in front of our eldest grandson?"
"I want to give it to you, but you don't want it either."
Zhu Yuanzhang said that he could not defeat Empress Ma, so he had no choice but to accept his fate and once again turned his eyes hopefully to his eldest grandson.
Zhu Xiongying felt a little strange, why did his grandfather care so much about this matter?
But he still explained,
"Grandpa, it's completely a seller's market now. These foreign envoys are like fish on the chopping board. They don't even have a chance to struggle.
We can only let us set the price, although I want to take advantage of this opportunity to sell kerosene lamps, hot air balloons, refined salt and other products for takeout.
Grandpa, don’t worry, you will only earn more than you imagined this time, not less! "
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face flushed with excitement, he rubbed his hands and said,
"That's okay! That's okay!
By the way, eldest grandson, what is a seller’s market? Is the seller’s market so powerful? They can only accept our mercy? "
Zhu Xiongying explained with a smile,
"Grandpa, the seller's market is naturally a market where the seller has the final say. No matter what the product is, Ming products are now monopolized by us.
Elsewhere, they can't get the goods, and the goods are in short supply.
As long as they want to buy it, we can set any price. "
"This is great! This is great!"
Queen Ma rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang again. After spending so many decades together in the same bed, she immediately understood what Zhu Chongba was holding back here!
"Well! Grandpa, don't worry."
On the contrary, Zhu Xiongying had not yet reacted and continued to comfort him.
After another pause, Lao Zhu asked with a stern look,
"Well, Dasun, this is a sure thing. We're just worried that something will go wrong and the money from the inner treasury won't come in..."
Lao Zhu looked at his eldest grandson with bright eyes and roared in his heart,
Grandson, why don’t you understand us? !
Zhu Xiongying had a strange look on his face. He didn't know his grandfather well enough to ask him over and over again about one thing. He finally understood what grandpa meant.
Then he sighed deeply, took it from his arms, and like a magic trick, he conjured a gold money bag, and placed the heavy money bag on the table.
The sound of the money bag hitting the table hit Zhu Yuanzhang directly in the heart.
Lao Zhu stared at the money bag and his breathing became visibly rapid.
"Grandpa, this is pocket money to honor your old age. You can take it and use it."
"Ah, haha? This, this...hahaha!"
Even Zhu Xiongying didn't see clearly that the money bag on the table was instantly put into his grandfather's arms.
Snap, very quickly.
"Oh, eldest grandson, that's not what we meant!"
Lao Zhu's smiling face is like a blooming chrysanthemum, not to mention how beautiful it is. In the past two days, he went to the household department again and glued his teeth in front of his eldest grandson. He just waited here.
Lao Zhu is short of money!
Lao Zhu put the money bag under the table and opened it secretly. From the perspective of Gou Sou, only Lao Zhu could see how much money was in the money bag.
At this glance, Lao Zhu's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
He raised his eyes and glanced at his eldest grandson with emotion. It was his eldest grandson who wanted to kiss him!
"Grandpa, if you don't have enough money, just ask me for more."
Zhu Xiongying looked at Lao Zhu and said.
This time, Lao Zhu was so moved that a warm current surged through his heart. His mood was simply sweeter than eating honey!
Lao Zhu likes to be controlled by his eldest grandson. Moreover, our eldest grandson has the foresight to give me such a sum of money. This is our eldest grandson's filial piety!
Compared with the filial piety of the eldest grandson, this money is nothing! Absolutely! Not worth it....the money is still very good....
"Ahem!"
When Lao Zhu was intoxicated with happiness, a cough suddenly sounded in his ears. This cough was like a ghost knocking on the door, which made Lao Zhu's hands tremble in fright.
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly raised his head, turned his face to the side, looked at the round and prosperous face, and prayed with his eyes,
"Sister, can you keep half of it?"
Queen Ma stretched out her hand without saying a word, just crossed her fingers.
"Sister..." Lao Zhu's voice actually sounded like he was crying, "Thirty percent, 30% is enough!"
Queen Ma frowned, which frightened Lao Zhu so much that he felt a sudden rush in his heart.
"Sister, 10%... okay?"
Queen Ma said calmly,
"Zhu Chongba, don't force me to slap you in front of your eldest grandson."
Snap.
The private money Zhu Yuanzhang shamelessly asked for was turned over before it was even put into the treasury.
"Hmph." Queen Ma put the money bag away and said dissatisfied, "You are so old, how can you spend money? If I give you so much, you will have to do bad things."
Zhu Yuanzhang instantly aged more than ten years and looked at Zhu Xiongying with eyes full of vicissitudes of life.
The voice was hoarse and said,
"Grandson..."
Zhu Xiongying shrugged helplessly,
Grandpa, my grandson has no choice. In this family, you have to distinguish between the king and the king!
