My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 13: What's the point of losing my grandfather's face? I want to lose Zhu Di's face

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi came to Xu Qin's mansion to announce the imperial edict. As for Xu Huizu not coming out, Zhu Gaochi pretended not to see him. Zhu Di couldn't do anything to Xu Huizu anyway, let alone himself!
After announcing the decree, Zhu Gaochi handed the imperial edict to Xu Qin. At the same time, people outside also came in carrying things!

Li was very happy. One thousand acres of land, plus ten thousand taels of silver and a mansion were a timely relief for the Xu family, who had no money left!

But Xu Qin was unhappy, thinking, isn't Zhu Di setting a trap for him? He wanted to make money, but Xu Huizu wouldn't let him. He could still use his family's lack of money to make up for it. Now, Zhu Di gave him so much, how could he do business?

Zhu Di was really bad. He was afraid that his business would ruin his reputation and he couldn't even take care of his brother-in-law's family. That's why he specially rewarded him with so much money. His purpose was to shut up the people and make the previous decree completely useless!

"Cousin, can you give me the imperial decree from before?" Zhu Gaochi asked Xu Qin with a smile after seeing that Xu Qin had received the imperial decree!

Xu Qin looked up at him, stood up, and said, "Are you kidding me? I got this with great difficulty, what else can I give to you?"

Then he went over and hugged Zhu Gaochi, smiled and whispered: "Your Highness, cousin, don't say that I didn't take care of you! I have a good business, would you like to be a partner? Ten thousand taels, I guarantee you can make tens of thousands of taels of silver a year!"

"Go away, do you have the ability to do this? Don't say that I, your cousin, have no money. Even if I did, I wouldn't let you waste my money!" Zhu Gaochi immediately pushed Xu Qin away and said with a look of disbelief.

Xu Qin was displeased when he heard this, and said to Zhu Gaochi: "Cousin, are you looking down on me? You have no vision?"

"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'm going to go talk to my uncle. You, be careful or my father will punish you!" Zhu Gaochi smiled and waved his hand, then walked towards the living room!

"If you don't believe it, just forget it. Don't regret it!" Xu Qin shouted at Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand behind him!

"Bao'er, His Majesty has bestowed so much as a reward this time, enough for our family to live on for several years!" Li came over and said happily. Of course she knew that this was the result of her son's merits.

"Well, mother, please leave me five thousand taels of silver when the time comes. I will need it!" Xu Qin said to Li.

"Why do you need so much? I'll give you fifty taels, but there are still holes to fill at home!" Li said nonchalantly. There are still many holes to fill at home!
In fact, before the confinement, the family had two shops, 1,200 acres of land, and a house covering two acres. In these five years, only 400 acres were left!
Since my grandfather, we have been helping the families who died in the war. My father did the same. Every year, we need to help those people, which is about 3,000 taels of silver! In fact, the amount of money we help is not much, about 5 taels of silver per family, but it is a lot!

It is not possible not to provide support. After all, the men in their family died for their grandfather and father. As the head of the family, how can we ignore them?
The things that Zhu Di rewarded were only enough to sustain the family for two years at most, after all, the family also had expenses.

When Xu Qin heard that his mother only gave him fifty taels, he said anxiously, "Mom, this is a reward for me!"

Li glared at Xu Qin and said, "What's wrong? You want to separate from me before you even get married? You have no conscience, you little brat!"

"I, I, I am useful!" Xu Qin said with a tearful look on his face.

"What's the use? It costs five thousand taels to go to Qinhuai River for fun? Go and have fun!" Li said and began to direct the servants in the mansion to move things into the warehouse!
Xu Qin stood in the wind, disheveled!

It took Zhu Gaochi more than an hour to leave his father's study!

As soon as Zhu Gaochi left, Xu Huizu sent someone to call Xu Qin over!
Xu Qin is drawing, how can he care about his idle father? No!
When Xu Huizu learned that Xu Qin was not coming, he was so angry that he picked up a stick and went straight to Xu Qin's courtyard!

The two maids serving in Xu Qin's courtyard were so frightened when they saw Xu Huizu coming with a stick that they rushed directly into Xu Qin's study and shouted, "Master, run! The master is coming with a stick!"

"What?" Xu Qin raised his head and looked at his maid with confusion.

"Run!" the maid shouted anxiously!

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Xu Qin put down his pen and rushed out of the study. As soon as he reached the living room, he saw his father entering the living room with a stick!

"You bastard, I think you deserve a beating. I told you to come, but you didn't come yet?" Xu Huizu said as he rushed over with a stick in his hand!

"Master, back door!" another maid shouted loudly!

Xu Qin turned around and ran to the back door of the living room. As soon as he opened the door, he rushed out. Then he climbed up the wall of the courtyard and sat on the wall, watching his father coming out of the back door with a stick in his hand!
"Dad, what's wrong with you? I have something to do, why did you ask me to come over?" Xu Qin rode on the wall and looked at Xu Huizu with a puzzled look on his face.

"No business allowed!" Xu Huizu shouted at Xu Qin.

"Tsk!" Xu Qin rolled his eyes.

When Xu Huizu saw Xu Qin rolling his eyes, he got angry and rushed towards Xu Qin with a stick in hand. Xu Qin climbed over the wall and went to the alley outside the wall. But what Xu Qin didn't expect was that Xu Huizu also climbed over the wall and had no intention of maintaining his image as a father or a middle-aged man!
"Dad, are you crazy?" Xu Qin was shocked when he saw Xu Huizu also climbed over the wall.

"Rebellious son, let's see who can save you today!" Xu Huizu gritted his teeth and shouted at Xu Qin, with a hint of expectation in his heart!
As soon as Xu Qin saw it, he started running. When he saw the wall, he rushed up and climbed over it. Xu Huizu also followed him and climbed over the wall!

Soon, there was chaos in the mansion!

"Master, what are you doing?"

"Master, you can't fight!"

"Master, Bao'er is still young!"

"Get out of the way! Don't hold me! That rebellious boy has run away!"

"Let go, why are you holding me? You are holding that rebellious son!"

"Where did he run to? Where did that rebellious son run to? Why are you holding me?" After chasing for a while, Xu Huizu did not find any trace of Xu Qin. Xu Huizu was so angry that he shouted at Wang who was holding him back.

Wang also smiled and pulled Xu Huizu and said, "Bao'er is so well-behaved, why do you always hit him? He's such a big kid, it's not appropriate to hit him again!"

"Oh, you bunch of spendthrift women all dote on him. He said he wants to do business, but how can it be possible? It's okay for him to embarrass me, but he wants to embarrass my father!" Xu Huizu shouted anxiously!

"Doing business? That's not possible! But, there's no need to beat him. Just talk to Baoer nicely! Baoer is the best!" Upon hearing this, Wang did not agree to do business, but she also did not agree with Xu Huizu beating Xu Qin with a stick.

Xu Qin, who was far away, heard this and shouted, "What's the big deal about embarrassing my grandfather? I've even embarrassed your Majesty!"

"Well, you rebellious son, where are you?" Xu Huizu heard it and wanted to go look for him with his stick, but was stopped by Wang.

However, Xu Huizu seemed to have thought of something at this moment, so he shouted, "Rebellious son, wait for me!"

Then he shouted at Wang, "Let go, I won't chase him anymore. If I can't catch this kid, just indulge him!"

Outside the mansion, the Jinyiwei also heard the noise inside the mansion and knew that Xu Huizu was chasing Xu Qin and beating him again. They also heard Xu Qin say that he wanted to do business and that he wanted to embarrass Zhu Di!

Zhu Gaochi had just come to Zhu Di to report on his visit to Xu Huizu, and also told Zhu Di that he had advised his uncle not to let Xu Qin do business!
Xu Huizu agreed!

"That imperial decree was not taken back?" Zhu Di sat there, looked up at Zhu Gaochi and asked.

Zhu Gaochi immediately cupped his hands and pretended to be confused, "Ah? Do you want an imperial edict?"

"Get out!" Zhu Di shouted at Zhu Gaochi!
"Yes, Dad, I'll go right away!" Zhu Gaochi said as he pretended to go to Xu Huizu's mansion again.

"No need to go! Go back to your East Palace!" Zhu Di waved his hand at Zhu Gaochi.

"Yes, Dad!" Zhu Gaochi immediately bowed and left the imperial study!
After leaving the imperial study, Zhu Gaochi shook his head with a wry smile.

After a while, Zhu Gaosui came to report that his uncle Xu Huizu was chasing and beating Xu Qin in the mansion. Xu Huizu did not allow Xu Qin to do business, saying that it was a disgrace to his grandfather. But Xu Qin said that disgrace to his grandfather was nothing, he would also disgrace His Majesty!

"Bang!" When Zhu Di heard this, he was so angry that he slammed the table with his hands!
Zhu Gaosui took one look and immediately came over and said, "Dad, how about putting him in the imperial prison for a few days? Let him calm down?"

Zhu Di turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaosui continued with a smile and said, "Dad, he is deliberately irritating you. Dad, he is doing business? He can? He will definitely use his power to oppress others, rob and seize the people's money! Dad, he is trying to ruin your reputation outside!"

Zhu Di stroked his beard and looked at Zhu Gaosui. Zhu Gaosui didn't know what Zhu Di meant! So he continued, "Dad, arrest him and send him to the imperial prison. Give him a few beatings, and that'll be all!"

After hearing this, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that your mother will punish you when the time comes?"

"Hehe!" Zhu Gaosui smiled and said, "Dad, I am just following orders!"

"Get out!" Zhu Di yelled at Zhu Gaosui.

I was thinking to myself, this third brother actually set a trap for me to fall into!

"Yes, Dad, he wants it."

"Get away, now!" Zhu Di pointed at the door of the imperial study and shouted at Zhu Gaochi.

"Yes, Dad!" Zhu Gaosui looked confused, wondering how could his father be angry with him? He was the one who helped him solve the problem.

After Zhu Gaosui left, Zhu Di sat down and stroked his forehead.

Liu Yongcheng also came over with the ginseng tea and put it down.

"You keep an eye on Sakya Bao. If he does anything illegal, report to me immediately!" Zhu Di said with his eyes closed.

"Yes!" Liu Yongcheng responded with a bow!

"Fighting doesn't count. If someone uses force to bully others, robs others, or cheats others, report it immediately!" Zhu Di emphasized again.

"Yes!" Liu Yongcheng responded with a bow again!

At this moment, in Xu Qin's courtyard, Xu Qin was sitting there continuing to draw blueprints, and Li also pushed open the door of the study.

Xu Qin's two maids immediately went over to pay their respects!

Lee asked them to get out!
Xu Qin looked at his mother in confusion!

Li slapped five thousand taels of silver on Xu Qin's desk.
