After all, Old Zhu is someone who values ​​family ties, and as he gets older, he naturally places even greater importance on his children and grandchildren.

To put it bluntly, although Old Zhu considers himself to be in relatively good health now, he is still quite old. Even if he had an iron body, the hardships and uncertainty he experienced in his early years have left him with many health problems.

Moreover, even though Zhu Rongji was incredibly diligent in his duties, it was still impossible for him not to get tired, which would inevitably affect his health to some extent.

If it weren't for my current pleasant mood, and most importantly, my exceptional physical condition, I wouldn't be able to enjoy a drink like this every now and then.

"Then we'll set off fireworks!" Little Zhu exclaimed excitedly. "We'll also light lanterns, making our palace the brightest place. And we'll also be given lots of clothes."

Old Zhu asked with a smile, "Oh? Do you want me to give you clothes, or do you want us to make you some new clothes?"

“We have clothes, and we can’t just wear any old clothes.” Little Zhu immediately snuggled into Old Zhu’s arms and said, “We should give clothes to the orphans and widows in the nursing home, because the elderly are afraid of the cold.”

Old Zhu was even happier. The nursing home was full of elderly people, mostly homeless and widowed. Even though the imperial court was providing for them, these places could only guarantee their survival; they could never provide them with wealth.

Old Zhu was incredibly generous, saying, "Alright, since our Yin'er is so kind, we'll give you fifty thousand taels of silver!"

“We have to support the elderly and raise the young,” Little Zhu said immediately. “When we go to pay New Year’s respects to the Imperial Uncle and the Prince, they will give us lucky money.”

Old Zhu was even happier, cupping little Zhu's face in his hands and saying, "Alright, tomorrow we'll take you to your second uncle's house to wish him a Happy New Year and ask for lucky money. Then we'll go to your third uncle's house; your fourth uncle just started his own household, so a token amount will suffice. We'll also take you to your fifth prince's house; he has money..."

Xiao Zhu simply listened, thinking it was a good thing that his son was kind. As for Lao Zhu taking Xiao Zhu to beg for money, they would just stand there and ask for it; who would dare to be stingy!
