Chapter 133 After all, she is the heroine.

"What I can promise you is that next year, I will be able to give you more money."

"Even if I don't have Zhu Xuntao's ability, I can make money. Zhu Xuntao is not the only one in the world who can do business."

"Zhu Xuntao's heart is in the Yongjing Marquis Mansion. She has long forgotten that she is the daughter of the Zhu family."

"We can't put all our hopes on Zhu Xuntao. We have to find other sources, right?"

Zhu Yingyan was too unfamiliar with glass.

Zhu Dingxing took the initiative to give her money and asked her to find someone to do research. Zhu Yingyan would never take on this task.

Since she was not familiar with it, she couldn't take it.

So she could naturally take over the familiar work.

Zhu Yingyan did not forget the heavy snow in the middle of winter this year, and the price of grain soared tenfold.

As long as she hoards food before that.

When the snowstorm comes, how much money can she make with these food?

At that time, it is not impossible to pay her father a little more money.

"Is there any problem with the source of your money?"

Zhu Dingxing also likes money, but money is not easy to get. After he became the Shangshu, his family assets were just so-so.

That's why Zhu Dingxing knew that making money has never been an easy thing.

Zhu Xuntao could do such a difficult thing easily because she was smart.

But where did Zhu Yingyan get the confidence to say in such a casual tone that making money is not difficult at all?

It can't be that the people he keeps around him are all trash and can't compare to his two daughters in everything, right?

Zhu Yingyan raised her chin confidently:

"Dad is an official in the court, how dare I touch this dirty money."

"The money I earn must be clean, and it's consensual."

"I don't even dare to think about usury, let alone touch it."

"That's good."

Zhu Dingxing would never touch usury.

Once something happened, he would lose the money he earned and his official position.

Zhu Dingxing didn't have the spirit of adventure to make up for the loss.

What's more, he wanted to be an official more than a rich man.

After confirming that Zhu Yingyan's way of making money was not dirty, Zhu Dingxing gritted his teeth and handed Zhu Yingyan 10,000 taels:

"Use this money carefully, and don't let your husband down."

Zhu Yingyan suppressed the corners of her mouth that wanted to curl up and nodded obediently:

"Don't worry, Dad, I understand. This is a test for you."

"If I fail, there will never be a next time."

"If I succeed, my position in your heart will definitely not be lower than that of my two half-brothers."

A child who can create wealth and bring a future to the Zhu family, even if she is just a daughter, can also be valued by her father.

Zhu Dingxing was very happy that he didn't make it clear, and Zhu Yingyan figured it out first and spoke up.

Zhu Dingxing said that he was right about this daughter of Zhu Yingyan, who was so knowledgeable:

"Yan'er, you really win your father's heart more than Zhu Xuntao."

"You should understand how much effort your father has put into you over the years. Don't waste your efforts."

"My daughter will."

Zhu Yingyan held the banknote tightly in her hand.

This was the opportunity she could seize now, and she would never give up.

"Sister-in-law, are you approaching your manor?"

Xiao Miluo lifted the curtain and looked out, and was fascinated by the scenery on both sides.

The deeper the autumn, the cooler the weather. The maple trees planted on the roadside had red maple leaves, which were not much worse than the colorful scenery in midsummer.

"It's almost there."

Seeing the iconic maple trees, Zhu Xuntao said:

"These maple trees were planted together with my grandfather when I was a child. Now they are more than ten years old."

When Zhu Xuntao was first brought to Zhu Lao's side, she didn't cry or make a fuss. She was so quiet that she didn't look like a baby who had just been weaned. After

leaving Zhu's house, Zhu Xuntao neither looked for her father nor her mother. She would eat if she was given food, and would not ask for it if she was not given food.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhu Xuntao would find a corner to hide, as if avoiding harm from others.

Seeing the second granddaughter like this, Zhu Lao shouted that it was a sin.

First, he used a tough force to detain Zhu Xuntao by his side and let Zhu Xuntao accompany him to go up the mountain, down the field, and across the river to catch fish.

At first, Master Zhu was worried that Zhu Xuntao was spoiled and didn't like these things.

But soon Master Zhu found out that it wasn't entirely true, and he seemed to be wrong.

Zhu Xuntao, who didn't have much emotion, would have a look of spirit in his beautiful eyes whenever he came into contact with the farmland.

He learned farming from the old farmer, and Zhu Xuntao, who was still too young to remember, learned faster than anyone else.

His little hands, as thin as chicken feet, were better than anyone else at doing the work.

When the farmers who were called by Master Zhu saw this, they often said behind people's backs,

how could this young lady from an aristocratic family be born to farm? She had better talents than those of us peasants.

Zhu Xuntao slowly changed when he stayed by Master Zhu's side.

In order to cheer up his granddaughter, the old man asked Zhu Xuntao if she liked flowers, and

they could plant various flowers on both sides of the road to the village.

Zhu Xuntao, who was not talkative, suddenly spoke up:

"Grandfather, can we plant maple trees? Maple leaves are beautiful in autumn."

Zhu Xuntao, who was chubby but not fat at all, asked the old man with a pair of beautiful and tender eyes.

Late autumn is bleak, but the maple trees support this last excitement.

Facing the first request of his granddaughter, the old man smiled and agreed.

So the maple trees along the way were planted by the grandfather and grandson together, without help from others.

The still strong Zhu Lao was responsible for carrying the saplings and digging the holes.

Zhu Xuntao was responsible for backfilling and heating water for the saplings.

After planting the trees on both sides, Zhu Xuntao was exhausted.

Zhu Xuntao slept for six or seven hours before waking up, and almost scared Zhu Lao.

It was also after that that Zhu Xuntao became cheerful day by day with Zhu Lao, and became an ordinary little girl.

Recalling this period of time, Zhu Xuntao always felt that

if it weren't for the company and teachings of her grandfather, she, a normal person, might become an autistic child.

At that time, she really had symptoms of autism.

Listening to Zhu Xuntao talking about the past, Xiao Miluo looked yearning:

"So these sturdy and beautiful maple trees were planted by my sister-in-law?"

"What can I do? I think these red maple leaves are more beautiful now!"

When she was young, why didn't she think of planting something in the mansion?

Look, how meaningful it is.

"Nest, nest, too."

Xiao Chenliang, who was sitting in Zhu Xuntao's arms, raised his chubby hands and wanted to join in the fun.

Pinching Xiao Chenliang's little fleshy hands with nests, Zhu Xuntao asked with a smile:

"What does Chenliang want to plant?"

These two sides were firmly occupied by the trees planted by her and her grandfather.

But other places can still be planted.

Thinking about the big farm next to his small farm, which was now his, Zhu Xuntao was very generous.
