My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 53: Eat and Wait for Death
Zhu Di was surprised when he heard Xu Qin's words. This guy actually knew that he would let the queen talk to him, so he asked tentatively: "Why?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qin said with contempt: "Why else? Your Majesty has no other choice? There is no money. He can't even think of solving the livelihood problem of those weavers. Well, I won't hide it from you. I really don't want to tell him. If it weren't for my aunt's face, I would continue to sell my machine now. Let's see what he will do then.
But when I think about it, my aunt is the queen, I have to give her face, right? As for my cheap uncle, well, in my eyes, he doesn't have any face at all.

Forget it. When my aunt comes to me, I will agree, right? Besides, I don’t want to leave so many weavers without a livelihood. I am a kind person! "

Zhu Di looked at Xu Qin gloomily. He was his adopted uncle, but he didn't even give him any face?
"Oh, so you are planning to tell the Queen?" Zhu Di relaxed a little when he thought of this. No matter what, as long as he could think of a solution, it would be fine.

"Let's see what my aunt says. The conditions must be equal, right? Of course, if my aunt forces me, I will say it, but I won't care about it in the future. At worst, I can build a boat myself, take my father, and escape overseas. I have money, so what should I be afraid of? I can live a superior life wherever I go." Xu Qin said indifferently.

"What, fled overseas?" When Zhu Di heard the news, coupled with previous rumors that Zhu Yunwen might have fled overseas, he stared at Xu Qin.

"Well, fleeing overseas, there's no place like that, right? However, such a thing is unlikely to happen. My dad probably won't go, and my aunt would probably be furious if she knew. Forget it, it's just a thought.

However, this time it depends on what conditions they put forward. "Xu Qin waved his hand and said to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di thought about it, and then asked casually: "What conditions do you want?"

Xu Qin said without thinking: "I don't know. I haven't thought about it yet. You said I don't lack money, and I don't want to be an official. Even if Your Majesty asks me to be an official, I don't want to be an official. It's impossible to confer a title. There is no such thing as a title. It's even more impossible to release my father from confinement. Your Majesty is worried.

So, it seems that no conditions can attract me. Before, you said you wanted to return the Duke of Wei's Mansion to our family! I am too lazy to ask for it. The Duke of Wei's Mansion only covers an area of ​​100 acres. Now I have bought more than 360 acres of land. I can build it slowly according to my own wishes. Why bother? I am not without money. "

When Zhu Di heard Xu Qin say this, "It's not like I'm short of money," he was furious. He was fooled by this guy this time. No, it should be said that he was careless and let this guy make a fortune.

But then I thought, if the weaving bureau also needs such a machine, and this guy just said that he won't lower the price, then this guy, I guess, will have to make a lot of money. That won't do, because I don't have any money, and this guy is not short of money.

When Zhu Di thought of this, he couldn't help but make up his mind that he must make this guy lower the price.

"Yeah, that's right. Then just lie there like this?" Zhu Di thought for a moment and asked casually.

"I can only lie down before the New Year. After the New Year, I will be busy with the renovation of my family's mansion. I want to repair my family's mansion myself! In addition, well, when my family has more money, I will see about building a place specially for me to play. This will cost a lot of money!" Xu Qin lay there thinking about it, and said to Zhu Di.

"A place for yourself to play? It will cost a lot of money?" Zhu Di looked at Xu Qin in confusion.

Xu Qin nodded and said, "Yes, I have money, so why can't I enjoy it? I'm not harming the people, right?"

"This, you are still so young, and you are enjoying it?" Zhu Di asked a little confused.

"What else? Struggle? Do I still need to struggle?" Xu Qin turned his head and looked at Zhu Di and asked with a smile, leaving Zhu Di speechless.

Then Xu Qin continued: "So, you don't understand. I will take you to play when the time comes. I don't need to struggle, and I don't want to be an official. Tell me, if I don't enjoy myself, what am I going to do? Right?"

"Well, you really don't want to be an official? For example, you can join the army. I heard that you are good at martial arts!" Zhu Di was a little speechless at the moment. This kid actually didn't want to be an official. This was a little difficult to understand.

"Am I sick? I'm going to the army, exposed to the wind and sun! And not even get much money? Besides, my family is not a noble family anymore, so what does the army have to do with my family? Not to mention such a small salary, even if it was increased a hundred times, it would not be attractive to me at all!" Xu Qin complained while lying there.

"This!" Zhu Di didn't know what to say to Xu Qin at this moment.

"I tell you, life is only 30,000 days long, so it doesn't matter how you live. As long as you can meet the basic living conditions, isn't it good to be open-minded, free and comfortable? Besides, my family is so rich, and I can still be an official. Wouldn't it be nice for me to travel around the mountains and rivers with my beautiful concubine every day?
Look at His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. Isn't he of noble status? I tell you, he is so busy that he is scolded for nothing. If it were me, screw the Crown Prince. I would immediately go to His Majesty to recommend the second son as the Crown Prince, and go to play in my fiefdom.

Look at him, he is so tired and sick, yet Your Majesty has nothing to do and wants to scare him. What's the point, right? "Xu Qin began to persuade Zhu Di.

Zhu Di nodded when he heard this, but then he thought, this is not right, he was here to persuade Xu Qin, why was he persuaded by Xu Qin? So he quickly said to Xu Qin: "This is not okay, you are still so young! If you just enjoy yourself like this, won't you just eat up all your savings?"

Zhu Di regretted it as soon as he said this. All the money now was earned by this kid. How could he be living off his savings?

Xu Qin looked at Zhu Di and smiled, saying, "How is that possible? Even if I play, I can still make money. I'll take you with me when the time comes."

"Ah?" Zhu Di looked at Xu Qin in surprise.

"I will find you when the time comes. Don't be in a hurry. Wait until after the New Year. I have a lot of things to do before the New Year." Xu Qin waved his hand and said to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di nodded, and the two chatted for a while before leaving, thinking that he couldn't just let this kid play around, he had to let him do something, and he had to take charge of the Weaving Bureau. In the evening, Xu Qin returned to the mansion and went to the living room. He didn't find Xu Huizu, but Li was sitting there doing the accounts, so he went over and asked, "Mom, where is my dad?"

"Hmm? Baoer is back, and your dad is out for a walk. Did you see that? Mom blocked those alleys today. Now this area all belongs to our family. Your dad is so happy that he has been wandering around since this afternoon. Your dad has been frustrated in the past few years, so let him wander around." Li put down the account book, came over with a smile, and said while pulling Xu Qin.

"Oh, that's good. But, Mom, I'm going to start turning down some houses, is that okay?" Xu Qin sat down and asked Li.

Li happily pinched Xu Qin's cheek, but Xu Qin dodged immediately. He was so old, but she still pinched his cheek. Li smiled and said, "It's up to you. Your father said you can do whatever you want! If you don't have money, come to me and get it. There is money at home."

By the way, Baoer, now that our family has grown, mother needs to select some servants and maids to bring back. These people are all from our Duke Wei's Mansion. Don't worry, mother, these people will come in in the next few days, and you can also select a few for your courtyard at that time."

"Okay, you don't need to tell me about this." Xu Qin nodded with a smile.

"Well, son, these days, some marquises and earls have sent people to tell you that you should go to their houses for a visit. I guess it's about your marriage. My son is very popular in the capital now!" Li said happily to Xu Qin.

After hearing this, Xu Qin pouted and said, "Mom, I'm still young!"

"What do you mean young? You're already sixteen, and it's time for you to get married. Your father and I have the final say on this matter. However, I'm busy right now, and I've already informed them. When I'm done with this, I'll come visit you in person. This matter is settled.

After I choose the one, I will go to the palace and ask your aunt. She said she will choose for you! But they invited me, so I feel embarrassed not to go!" Li glared at Xu Qin and said.

After hearing this, Xu Qin remained silent. There was nothing he could do as there was no freedom of love in the feudal era.

"By the way, Baoer, if you like that girl from the Xiao family, you can only have her as a concubine. Also, you are not allowed to do anything else before my daughter-in-law comes home, otherwise you will be in trouble." Li sat down and reminded Xu Qin.

"Mom, what are you talking about? I don't want to cheat others. Our family's troubles haven't been resolved yet. It's not easy for a girl to support a family!" Xu Qin immediately retorted with a red face.

After hearing this, Li smiled and patted Xu Qin's cheek and said, "You little brat, are you blushing? What trouble is it? As long as your aunt is in the palace, it's no big deal. Even if your aunt is gone for a hundred years, she won't dare to kill you."

After hearing this, Xu Qin remained silent.

The mother and son sat there chatting. After a while, Xu Huizu came back with his hands behind his back. He looked very happy. Xu Qin also stood up and saluted.

After dinner, Xu Qin returned to his own courtyard, where Shiyue and Mu Feng sat making clothes for Xu Qin.

"Young Master, Madam said that she wants to add more people to the courtyard and that she needs more maids." Mu Feng sat there and talked to Xu Qin. Shiyue was lively, while Mu Feng was more scheming. Basically, Shiyue listened to Mu Feng.

"Well, I'll let you two manage it. Only you two can enter the study." Xu Qin spoke while lying on a recliner, looking at the books.

"Hehe, if there's a pretty one, do you want her to sleep with you?" Mu Feng came over and said to Xu Qin with a smile.

Xu Qin pinched Mu Feng's cheek and said, "Don't try to find out what the young master is thinking. If anyone wants to accompany me in bed, you two should do it first, okay? You little girl, are you using your tricks on the young master?"

"Ouch, it hurts, Master, you said it! You have to keep your word!" Mu Feng was so happy when he heard Xu Qin say that.

Xu Qin loosened his hand, rolled his eyes and said, "When has the young master ever broken his word?"

"Humph, it was said before that you can sleep with your partner as long as you are sixteen years old!" Mu Feng said quietly.

"Go and do your thing." Xu Qin said as he patted Mu Feng's cheek.

"Hehe, the young master is blushing." Mu Feng looked at Xu Qin proudly and smiled.

Xu Qin was too lazy to pay attention to them. It was not that Xu Qin did not want to, but his father had told him that for martial artists, it is better to lose your virginity as late as possible, preferably at the age of 18. Of course, it is also okay if you can't help yourself.

The next morning when Xu Qin woke up, he saw Mu Feng holding new clothes and putting them on him. He said, "Master, the people in the palace are waiting for you in the front yard. The Queen wants to see you."
