“We’ll go with you,” Old Zhu said with a smile. “And we’ll also have your great-aunt, your eldest aunt, and your youngest aunt come along. If your second uncle wants to go, he can come too.”
Sitting on Old Zhu's lap, Little Zhu said confidently, "Let's go take my little brother over there. Second Uncle definitely won't want to go!"
At first, Old Zhu tried to correct him, saying that Zhu Yunwen was only Little Zhu's "third uncle." But he never got around to it, and in private Little Zhu called Zhu Yunwen "second uncle," which Old Zhu accepted and even used.
“The Empress should also come along. It’s not good for her to stay cooped up in the palace all the time,” Zhu Yunying said, being a model husband after all. “She should also check on Geng’er. The second son and his wife are useless; they can’t even take good care of the children.”
Old Zhu snorted coldly. His second grandson was really useless. A while ago, his great-grandson caught a cold, and it was quite serious.
Little Zhu was even happier and said, "If Mom goes, our Second Aunt will definitely go too. Second Aunt loves Mom the most, and Mom is the best!"
Little Zhu is so confident; he considers all his family members to be the most capable.
Stealing a half-day of leisure, Zhu Yunying's original plan, if not to chat with Old Zhu, was to summon Xu Huizu and others.
The policy of merging the poll tax into the land tax was bound to infringe upon the interests of many people, and there were certainly quite a few military officers who were quite unhappy about it. Moreover, Zhu Yunying also needed to stabilize the army while implementing the policy, and even needed the army to intervene.
It's hard to guarantee that some powerful families won't resort to desperate measures; those people might cause trouble for their own benefit.
It's okay to take a break; it's a good time to relax your tense nerves.
Zhu Yunying could distinguish between matters of state and family, and believed he could handle them well.
