When Master Hu heard this, he sighed, then hugged the little guy in his arms and pressed his face against him.

"Girl, there is nothing we can do. Your uncle, the emperor, is going to the war. Let us go and help him!"

"I don't really want to go, but if I don't go, my family will be missing out on a lot of things in the future!"

"Don't worry, girl. We'll be back in a year or two."

"Even if the war isn't over by then, we'll come back. We can help, but we can't sell our lives to him, right?"

Miss Hu Xinxing of the Hu family did not say anything at this moment. She looked at Master Hu with a pair of big, sparkling eyes full of tears and asked cautiously, "Really?"

"Will he really be back in one or two years at most?"

Oh, how can Mr. Hu bear this?

He immediately stood up, holding Xiao Xing'er in his arms, and walked out angrily.

"Come on, let's go and talk to your uncle the Emperor in front of him. We have to make it clear that we must come back in a year or two at the latest!"

"Otherwise, our little Xing'er will forget about this father!"

As he spoke, Master Hu walked out at high strides holding Xiao Xing'er in his arms.

"Where is the emperor? Where is the emperor emeritus? Where is he?"

The eunuchs who now lived in Hujiazhuang were speechless after hearing the shouting.

This person is no longer in the emperor's favor, he is really arrogant.

This really means that they do not regard the emperor or the retired emperor as anything great; they are treated as their own relatives, juniors, and friends.

The greeting was so natural.

The key point is that the father and son of the Zhu family have really gotten used to this over the years.

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang heard Master Hu shouting, Zhu Biao immediately stuck his head out from the courtyard on the other side before he could move.

"Uncle, here it is!"

"Oh, you are here. Where are your parents, too?"

"Yes, yes, my uncle is here, my father, the emperor, and my mother are here, and Yue'er is here too!"

When he heard that the eldest daughter of the Hu family was also coming, there was nothing to say. He hurriedly took a few steps and walked over with the little girl in his arms.

Then Zhu Biao became jealous.

"Oh, whose little girl is this? She's so pretty and adorable!"

After saying this, he was about to reach out his hand, but Master Hu slapped Zhu Biao's hand with a slap.

"You can say whatever you want, but don't fight me. This is my little Miss Hu, and you are her brother-in-law!"

"Have some sense of propriety, or I'll beat you up!"

"I'm going to beat you for this, and your parents won't care!"

Zhu Biao didn't notice at all how excessive what Mr. Hu said was.

He had only one thought at the moment: why didn't he have such a cute and adorable girl at home?

He is really jealous.

Seeing that Zhu Biao's eyes were almost glowing green, even the little girl quickly avoided his gaze and buried her head in Master Hu's arms. Master Hu could no longer be polite. He simply pushed the people away with his shoulder and went in naturally.

I went to the east wing as usual, and sure enough, they were all there.

There was a big, warm kang in the room, and the retired emperor, the empress dowager, and the queen were all there.

"Hey, Weiyong, why did you bring the girl here?"

"Oh, Daddy, Xiao Xing'er is wearing it so beautifully, I want one too!"

As the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of ten thousand people.

Look, she’s clearly carrying Xiao Xing’er as she walks in.

Zhu Yuanzhang only had Master Hu in his eyes, and was always worried that there might be some trouble with the matter they had just discussed.

But Xiaoyue doesn't care about this. Even though her child is over four years old now, she still fell in love with the clothes Xiaoxing was wearing at first sight and asked for them without any hesitation.

Just kidding, this is her mother's home.

You're here to visit my parents' home, there's no need to be polite.

Master Hu directly stuffed Xiao Xing'er into Yue'er's hands and said, "Play with your sister for a while first. We will prepare your clothes for you. Yours will be indispensable!"

"Let's get things done with your father first!"

"Oh oh ok, you guys chat, Xiao Xing'er, let's eat some sesame crisps!"

Xiao Xing'er's mood is much better now than before. She hides quietly in her eldest sister's arms, letting her father do what he wants.

When Master Hu saw that the girl was safe and Zhu Biao came in from outside, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"This time, I will only be gone for a year or two at most!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"When I told Xiao Xing'er just now, she started crying. She couldn't bear to leave me as her father!"

"Then let me tell you, no one is worse than my daughter!"

"Since my daughter only allows me to go out for a year or two, I will naturally not delay for long."

"So, let me make it clear to you first. I will work hard for you in Zhengbei, but if I'm unlucky and can't find anyone for several months or the delay is too long, then I will really run back on my own!"

"Don't worry, even if I come back by myself at that time, I will leave enough food for you in advance!"

As soon as Master Hu said this, the expressions of the old Zhu family's father and son immediately changed.

No!

Master Hu, do you have to come back in a year or two just because of a word from your little girl?

But...how long does this damn light take?

Could it be that when the fight is halfway through, you feel the time has come and you come back on your own?

Looking at the expressions of the two men opposite him, Master Hu nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, I'm serious, I'm not joking!"

"If you guys keep dragging your feet, I'll really come back early!"

"And have you ever thought that the Ming Dynasty could not withstand a war that lasted for three to five years?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

He admitted this!

Even if the civilians do not need to transport food and supplies, and purchase all the food and supplies from Master Hu, and the food and supplies are delivered to their doorsteps without even spending any cash, it is still a consumption.

Doesn’t bartering count as money?

If the expenses are really too high, the Ming Dynasty really can't bear it!

Even though the Ming Dynasty's finances have improved a lot now because of the trade and the black money made from the maritime trade, who kind of person is Zhu Yuanzhang?

He is a miser who would rather keep his silver coin under the bottom of a box and let it rot.

It would be strange if he could bear to do that.

So, he turned his head to look at Zhu Biao and asked reluctantly: "Or, son, don't go!"

"Let's go with Weiyong and the others and lead the cavalry to fight our way through. Can we get there earlier and come back earlier?"

"This will be convenient for Wei Yong and we can save money, right?"

After these words were spoken, before Zhu Biao could say anything, Xiaoyue'er beside him raised her eyebrows.

"Wait, Father, the Crown Prince is going to lead the army in person?"

"Zhu Biao, you actually hid this from me?"

"Am I, the queen, placed there to be laughed at?"

"Don't you think you should give me an explanation?"
