Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 734: Considerations for the Future of the Hu Family
It has to be said that Mr. Hu, who claimed to have seen all kinds of things in the world, was somewhat confused when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, dressed in casual clothes, served by palace maids and eunuchs, and arriving at his doorstep with a row of horse-drawn carriages.

"No! Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Standing next to Mr. Hu were Princess Anqing and Hu Renbin, and Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife happened to be in casual clothes.

Therefore, he simply didn't bother to pretend to ask politely and just asked the reason directly.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about this either.

In other words, in front of his old brothers and founding heroes like Mr. Hu, he really doesn't care about these rules.

So he just laughed.

"Hahaha, Weiyong!"

"You did a great job here!"

"By the way, have someone clean up the yard quickly. My sister and I will be staying here for the next few days!"

"Well, let's bring our sister here to relax and visit our in-laws, daughter, and son-in-law. Is that okay?"

Master Hu curled his lips speechlessly.

What can he say?
You're already at the door, but you say you want to visit relatives and stay for a few days.

Damn it, it’s only because you have the title of emperor, otherwise you would have to have some dignity.

However, if it were other families, seeing that the emperor and empress were coming and would stay for a few days, they would be extremely panicked and would make all kinds of arrangements.

As for Master Hu, he only needed to give an order.

"Hu Yi, take Song Li in!"

"Old Song, follow Hu Yi. You all know him."

"Arrange the place according to the habits of His Majesty and his wife. Tell Hu Yi if you need anything!"

Song Li didn't even need to look at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and nodded in agreement with a smile.

He knew it from the moment he got here.

His identity was no longer a close eunuch beside Emperor Hongwu.

His current identity is the chief steward brought by the old Zhu couple.

Didn’t you see that Master Hu also asked Hu Yi to connect with him?

That's the rule!
Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife didn't think there was anything wrong with this arrangement.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang said from the very beginning that he was coming to visit relatives and see his daughter and son-in-law.

If you act like an emperor or empress at this time, what else can you say?

So they simply didn't care and let Master Hu arrange everything.

Master Hu was not vague and led everyone directly to the main hall and seated the host and the guest.

The Hu family will never be short of good tea.

After all, as the largest and most comprehensive tea merchant in Yingtian City, there is no tea that Mr. Hu does not have on hand.

After tea and snacks were arranged, the two sides started chatting.

So, the first question that Empress Ma asked was Yaya, who was held in the arms of Master Hu.

"Weiyong, why are you... holding a girl?"

"Is this yours?"

Master Hu felt the little girl in his arms stiffen suddenly. He smiled and secretly patted her back, then gave Yaya a big kiss on the forehead. He then looked up at Empress Ma and her husband and said.

"Yes, mine!"

"I felt like I got along well with this girl the first time I saw her!"

"It just so happens that her father is a man who favors boys over girls and is addicted to alcohol. That's perfect. I'll just take this girl away and raise her."

"Now that Renbin and Anqing have become parents, they want to live their own lives. That's perfect. I can raise Yaya and have another sweet little girl by my side to show my filial piety to her!"

"Besides, she can also help her sister-in-law in managing the household in the future!"

Empress Ma nodded without comment and said nothing more. Obviously, she was somewhat uncomfortable with Master Hu's sudden decision to adopt a daughter.

But it is Mr. Hu's family affair after all, and, in the final analysis, it is just a daughter.

There won't be much property divided up, nor will there be any trouble. In the future, at most she will just be sent away with a little dowry.

So, naturally, she wouldn't say much.

But Zhu Yuanzhang keenly discovered a problem.

"Weiyong, what did you mean by that just now?"

"Why are we going to let such a little girl be Anqing's helper in the future?"

"What are you planning to do? Isn't it enough to build a garden for the three of them and make a fortune every day?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously somewhat jealous of the current situation of the garden making money.

After all, he now only has one treasury in his hand.

But the treasury has to cover the expenses of the entire palace.

In terms of total number, he naturally beats the others.

But when it comes to convenience, the money in the treasury is not very convenient to spend.

Therefore, it would be strange if he didn't feel envious and jealous when he saw his wife and daughter-in-law making money from their private piggy banks.

Mr. Hu had no idea that this was what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.

He quickly explained.

"Your Majesty, Renbin and Anqing will definitely be in charge of the Hu Mansion in the future."

"And the future foundation of the Hu Mansion will be the assets in this manor."

"Many of the things here were purchased by me slowly, and the staff are all old people from the Hu Mansion. It can be said that this place is very stable."

"In the future, I will continue to build other workshops here."

“But these workshops are completely different from other workshops now, both in terms of management and production.”

"Then management in the future will naturally require new knowledge and skills."

"Anqing also has to take care of her husband and children, so naturally she can only learn and adapt slowly."

"That's great, Yaya can also learn from her and help her sister-in-law in the future!"

After Master Hu said this, everyone became even more confused.

Even though Empress Ma, as Anqing's biological mother, had to side with her daughter, her words were completely different when she spoke.

"Weiyong, do you mean that from now on, all of this big business will be handed over to Anqing?"

"And from what you said, there seems to be something profound going on here?"

"Then why not leave it to Renbin?"

"How can it be reasonable to let a daughter be the head of the family?"

Not only did Empress Ma say this, but even Zhu Yuanzhang beside her nodded repeatedly.

Although he didn't know what kind of property there was in this farm.

But from what Master Hu said, they are all workshops or something like that, so they must be things that can make money.

But since Mr. Hu said it was the Hu family's foundation, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, it naturally could not be handed over entirely to his own daughter.

It doesn't make sense to let a woman be in charge of the household business. Hu Renbin is not dead.

But Mr. Hu just shook his head.

"No! This matter must be handed over to Anqing!"

"Renbin will definitely have to go to court in the future. Although I don't want him to go, if the prince ascends the throne in the future, and my Hu family's only son resigns from his post, won't the emperor and his subjects be suspicious of each other?"

"So, Renbin has to go to the court even if he has to be a clay or wooden official."

"And this family will naturally be handed over to Anqing." (End of this chapter)
