Chapter 139 Am I redundant?(2/2)

"He's not a human being, what do you care about him!" The old man said with a smile, but after looking at Pu Bucheng, he said for the first time, "You old dog and I have been tired all morning. Our grandson-in-law said so."

Yes, dogs still eat meat during festivals, so I’ll treat you to it!”

"Slave!" Pu Bucheng raised his head. The seventh-rank eunuch who was feared by everyone in the palace and the chief eunuch of the internal affairs office was already sobbing, with tears streaming down his face. "Old slave, thank you, Your Majesty! You, old slave, die now.

It’s worth it!”

"Don't say that!" Zhao Ning'er said with a smile, "You are the person who can be used by the old man. If you die, the old man will have to find someone to take care of him. Clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old. You have to live well in order to take care of me.

Good old man!"

"This old slave will still serve his master in the next life!" Pu Bucheng cried out of control.

This scene once again refreshed Zhu Yunxi's understanding.

My daughter-in-law looks honest and lively, but she is actually angry inside!

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi realized that the old man was also looking at him.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and the old man's eyes were full of teasing smiles. It seemed to be saying, silly grandson, your grandfather has found a smart wife for you, how about it?

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi understood. A daughter-in-law who can run a household like this, who can manage a large family well, isn't that what the old man wants in his heart?

"Stop being busy! Let's eat together!" Zhu Yunxi sighed inwardly.

"There's no rush, men eat first, why should we women be in a hurry!"

After Zhao Ning'er finished speaking, the old man's eyes turned into slits in laughter.

Immediately, the two men ate a home-cooked meal on the edge of the field. Not to mention, this home-cooked meal was indeed more delicious than those cooked by the unscrupulous cooks in the palace kitchen.

"That old guy Xu Xingzu, who has been cooking all his life, can't cook like this!" The old man ate very quickly. After finishing the meal in a few mouthfuls, he drank tea and began to criticize the old cook who had served him for more than 20 years.

Although the old man regarded the palace maids and eunuchs as human beings, he treated him well as a cook. In his opinion, the loyalty of the cook was more important than the loyalty of the ministers. Back then, the King of Qin was whipped by the old man because he treated the cooks around him unkindly.

"What's the big deal today?" The old man asked Zhu Yunxi after he was full.

"Xin Guogong's military expenditure is short of tens of thousands taels!" Zhu Yunxi said.

"Let the Household Department squeeze it!" The old man frowned, "I've been spending a lot of money recently!"

"Grandpa!" Zhu Yunxi put down the bowl and whispered, "I heard that you are going to renovate Kunning Palace. My grandson will see it. You don't need to see this!"

"Why not?" The old man was unhappy and glared, "Ning'er has just married into our family, and the new daughter-in-law wants to live in a new house. Kunning Palace has been idle for so long, so it's not time to take a good rest! You know, we men are diligent and thrifty.

Those who don’t know think we are stingy!”

"Don't be in a hurry!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "The new year has just begun, and the household department has no income. It is a time of emptiness, so these tens of thousands taels should be used elsewhere first!"

"Don't worry about it!" the old man said impatiently, "repairing the house is also a business!"

"Old man!"

The atmosphere between the two men was a bit cold, and Zhao Ning'er said, "My wife, I thank you for your love and care. I know you are afraid of wronging my granddaughter-in-law, but I think your highness is right!"

"Being able to marry into this family is already a sign of virtue from our ancestors. Although my daughter-in-law has never read any books and doesn't know any principles, she also knows that being a queen is not about entering the palace to enjoy the blessings. She has to keep her family, country and world in mind!"

"Since money is needed for military and national affairs, the money cannot be spent on repairing the house for the wife!" Zhao Ning'er squatted down, beat the old man's legs, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, the wife will not feel at ease even if she lives in it!

"

The old man pondered for a long time and sighed, "What a good girl, you are so sensible!" After saying that, he glared at Zhu Yunxi, "If you dare to make this girl suffer, how will we deal with you?"

"ah?"

Zhu Yunxi was speechless and aggrieved!
