She was too lazy to clean up after dressing up as a villain heroine

Han Zheng is the prince, and it's ok for him to not go hungry. Men are rough-hearted and are unlikely to care whether the people under them eat well.

He couldn't figure out the twists and turns involved in the housekeeper matter.

Fortunately, he did not raise any objections, but only asked: "What are you going to do?"

"I will have someone count the number of people serving in Suiyuan later, and then build two kitchens, one for us to eat and drink, and one for the servants. Build a canteen in the backyard and another in the front yard, separate for men and women."

"What about purchasing?"

"My dowry includes a farm where I grow vegetables and fruits. My mother's family used to do the same thing. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but my father's salary is so little. To support a large family, we can't just rely on the subsidy from Your Majesty. Nowadays, there are three or four hundred mouths to feed."

Han Zheng was stunned when he heard this.

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and never thought about supporting his family.

"The emperor gave my father a royal farm some time ago. My mother thought it was perfect. Not only can we grow vegetables on the farm, but we can also raise chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, which can be sent home every two or three days. This way, we don't have to sell there and buy here, and we don't know how much money will be deducted in the middle."

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled at him and said, "So I thought, we can save ourselves the trouble of purchasing and just let the farm provide us with vegetables and meat.

But this has its disadvantages, as the profits from purchases will be much less. So my mother usually gives the servants two extra months’ wages at the end of the year.”

Han Zheng frowned. The profits from purchasing... isn't this corruption? The master of the housekeeper actually has to consider the grievances of the servants who did not get any corruption?

It can be seen that he had always thought of the job of housekeeper as something very simple.

"I don't understand this, you can do it yourself."

Qiao Zhenzhen said: "I'm just telling you this so that no one will gossip about you in the future."

"You seem to be afraid that others will say bad things about you in front of me."

"I'm not afraid, I'm just taking precautions. If your family doesn't have that nagging person, that would be great. I also want a peaceful life, but we must be on guard against others."

The serious expression on Qiao Zhenzhen's face when she said this made Han Zheng laugh.

He flicked her forehead lightly with his finger, "Such a simple environment as your mother-in-law's house shouldn't have nurtured you to have such a temper."

Qiao Zhenzhen pretended to bite his finger, "Whoever decides what kind of family will raise what kind of children? If that were the case, what would this world become?"

Just like in the royal environment, not all people born there are smart enough to fight in the palace, otherwise there would be no change of dynasties.

But this cannot be said, as it would be suspected of rebellion.

Han Zheng quickly withdrew his hand, nodded and said, "This makes sense." He no longer questioned.

He had long since accepted that his daughter-in-law was very different from what was rumored.

I don't know why people say she is a beauty without a doll. It may be a misunderstanding caused by her poor academic performance in the past.

He is obviously a very smart person.

Even a bit worldly-wise that's not appropriate for his age.

Han Zheng asked: "People out there say you're stupid, but you never thought of explaining yourself?"

"Why do you need to explain?" Qiao Zhenzhen asked, "Do you care about what those strangers think of you?"

Han Zheng said: "I don't really care, but rumors are like this. If they are spread for a long time, others will take them as facts, which is sometimes not a good thing."

Qiao Zhenzhen thought for a moment and said, "I once heard a saying, 'Other people are hell.' It means that if a person only lives in the opinions of others, it's like living in hell. Because even money is not liked by everyone."

Changing the subject, "But what you said makes sense. Reputation is still very important for men like you who walk around outside. But for a girl like me, reputation is important before marriage."

At this point, she raised her chin slightly and looked at Han Zheng, "But it's just a coincidence that His Majesty has granted us a marriage. From now on, just know what kind of person I am in your heart, why bother about those irrelevant people outside."

Han Zheng held her hand tightly and said, "Well, I understand you."

"But speaking of it, once people have prejudices, it will be useless no matter how hard you try to explain," said Qiao Zhenzhen.

Han Zheng smiled, "It seems that you don't completely want to explain."

Qiao Zhenzhen shrugged, "I don't want to explain. It's useless to explain to me. They are two different things.

Just like my mother, she is not jealous, it is my father who does not want a concubine, but people outside only say bad things about my mother. My mother did not want to explain, and she also knew that explanations were useless. Generally speaking, people only believe what they want to believe. "

Han Zheng felt that what she said was a bit absolute, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"This is what they call, it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it."

Han Zheng asked, "You mean to say that it was others who spread rumors about you in the past?"

"That doesn't mean I can completely wrongly accuse others. I am not very friendly sometimes, especially towards people and things that I don't like. I am not very good at studying. It's not wrong to say that I am unruly and willful, and a fool. After all, I am a beautiful woman, which is good."

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled with her eyes curved, and Han Zheng felt happy seeing her.

He said, “You are quite open-minded.”

Qiao Zhenzhen just smiled and said nothing else.

She pointed to a place in front and said, "I plan to build some houses here and enclose it so that you can accommodate the people who will be sent to you in the future."

Han Zheng's attention was diverted.

I almost thought I heard it wrongly, "What? The person who sent it?"

Qiao Zhenzhen nodded generously, "Yes, you are the prince, and you will be the Duke of Dingguo in the future. Some things are unavoidable."

"you are not……"

"Yes, I am." She interrupted him. There were many people following behind her, so some things didn't need to be said too clearly. "Some were sent directly to me, and some were sent to you. For those who came to me, I would ask them what they think. If they were forced, I would find a good home for them. But if they were the ones who only wanted to be rich, I would also respect them."

She pointed ahead and said, "Let them live here. I'll provide them with food and lodging. Of course, they can't live and eat for free. Otherwise, what kind of place would Suiyuan be? They can provide talents or do some needlework to exchange for something of equal value."

It's almost like being in jail.

But out of humanitarianism, she would have the yard made a little bigger and build some activity facilities.

Han Zheng was stunned.

Qiao Zhenzhen said: "This way, everyone can get what they need and live happily together."

This is called letting go of the desire to help others and respecting the fate of others.

"Are you sure they will be happy?"

"It's hard to say, I'm not them. But some people just like to take a chance and think they are special. I gave them this opportunity, shouldn't I be happy?"

Han Zheng was helpless, "Am I that opportunity?"

Qiao Zhenzhen said seriously: "Be more confident, you are it."

"You..." Han Zheng sighed softly.

"Although I won't release anyone on my own initiative, it won't stop anyone who wants to cause trouble from sneaking out and waiting for you, so you must control yourself."

Han Zheng looked back and saw that all the maids, except Dongxiang who had a blank expression, were lowering their heads and trying to hold back their laughter.

Han Zheng was helpless and patted her on the lower back, "Naughty."

Qiao Zhenzhen laughed out loud.
