Zhu Di's mood became very worried, and he was very worried about his father's attitude towards him.

And his concern is not unreasonable.

The concept of the father and the emperor has always been that the long house inherits the family business, and will never pass on the throne to the rest.

Even if the eldest brother dies first, it will only pass the throne to the eldest brother's son.

And the news he got from Han Cheng also confirmed his thoughts.

What's even worse is that later, he not only seized the throne of Zhu Yunwen, but also attacked Yunxi and others.

My father was furious.

When he didn't know these things, his father would definitely let him lead the troops and do important things with confidence.

Now, after learning what will happen in the future, in order to prevent trouble, can my father really rest assured that he will guard Beiping and hold heavy troops?

This is not what Zhu Di is most worried about.

What Zhu Di was most worried about was that his father would not let himself interfere in the affairs of the city, let alone lead troops to attack the Japanese State.

Thus affecting the construction of medical schools.

That's what worries him the most!

If it really happens, it will hit him too hard!

Originally, Zhu Di had concerns about this.

At this time, my father sent someone to call the eldest brother away, but I was afraid that nine times out of ten he would go to talk about himself......

Thinking of this, Zhu Di felt complicated and very heavy.

Zhu Di looks very brave, but he is not only brave, but also hides a delicate heart under his brave appearance.

If you really care about something, it's easy for him to notice a lot of things......

At this time, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, was in the same mood.

Originally, he was very excited here, and he was waiting for his eldest brother with great anticipation to give him the task.

As a result, at the last moment, the eldest brother let the eunuch sent by his father call him away!

This feeling is as uncomfortable as it gets.

Bi and the beauty have made all kinds of preparations, and they are about to enter the alley, but they are suddenly called to stop and feel uncomfortable.

Why did my father pick the time like this?

Can't you just let people come later?

Zhu Li's mood, not to mention how depressed he is!

"Fourth, you tell my brother, what mission do they want to send me?"

Zhu Di's eyes rolled, and he quickly came to Zhu Di's side, squatted down, and looked at Zhu Di with a smile and asked, with a good attitude.

He felt that the fourth child came back earlier than him, had already received the task, and in order to complete the task, he was ruthlessly beaten like this by his father.

Definitely know some of the rest of the plans.

The eldest brother is gone, so he can only ask the fourth.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Di and sighed: "Alas, why is my neck so uncomfortable?" It's so uncomfortable! ”

"The third brother will pinch you!"

Zhu Li immediately stood up, bent down and began to pinch Zhu Di's neck.

"Fourth, it's not my brother who blows it to you, my technique, the clever tight, is the secret that I learned for a clever person on the Qinhuai River before!

Third brother, I have already gotten a few points of true biography.

If it hadn't been for the early departure of the feudal clan and the last few months, it would have been able to do the math.

But even now, with only a few true biographies, that is definitely more than a lot of people! ”

King Jin pressed Zhu Di's neck while not forgetting to brag about himself.

Zhu Di was lying here, squinting his eyes, enjoying it very much.

"Third brother, don't say it, your technique is really good, and you have indeed obtained some true inheritance."

Zhu Di squinted his eyes and said.

"Right? Then let the third brother give you a good press today, except for you, no one else has never been treated like this! ”

After pressing for a while, Zhu Li looked at Zhu Di and said, "Fourth, can I tell my brother now, do you have their arrangements for my father?" ”

Zhu Di said: "Oh, I came back from Beiping all the way, and my whole body was going to fall apart."

Especially the two feet, that's called an uncomfortable ......."

"Zhu Laosi! That's pretty much it! Don't go too far!! ”

Zhu Li suddenly became a little furious.

"Ao, it's a bit too much to be a younger brother, and you shouldn't expect too much.

I had already thought about what my father and eldest brother were going to arrange for you, but as soon as my feet were uncomfortable, I forgot all about it......"

"Hey, hey, hey...... Fourth brother, the third brother's voice was a little loud just now, and what he said was a little wrong, don't take it too seriously. ”

Zhu Li said, came to Zhu Di's feet, stretched out his hand to Zhu Di's back, waved his fist vigorously, and then went to take off the fourth child's shoes.

It's August, and it's not cool.

The fourth child went out to do things early in the morning, and came back after working for most of the day, and it would be strange if the smell was good.

As soon as I took it off, there was a smell of smell coming to my face, and I almost didn't vomit Zhu Li!

Holding his breath, he took off the other shoe of the fourth child in a very disgusting posture.

He walked briskly to the side and inhaled heavily.

The wheezing was even, and then he went to press Zhu Di's feet.

After pressing it a few times, I finally couldn't help it.

went to fetch some water and washed both of Zhu Di's feet, so that he could be more hands-on.

How could Zhu Di let go of such a good opportunity?

Commanding Zhu Li to press himself well here, after he was addicted, he squinted his eyes and said what he knew.

"What my father and eldest brother mean is that I am here at Longjiang Bao Shipyard, let the third brother go to Chongming Island to stabilize Wu Zhen.

It's best not to let these people make a big mess, let alone let these people run to the surface of the sea to be pirates.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for us to be royal. ”

When Zhu Li heard this, he immediately smiled.

It's a dangerous task, but the more dangerous it is, the more he enjoys it.

Because judging from the danger of the task he was arranged, in the eyes of his father and others, his ability was far greater than that of the fourth!

Just know that, that's enough!

"Anything else? That's all there is to it? ”

"Isn't that enough?"

"Don't you have any detailed plans?"

"No, I'm afraid that the detailed plan has not been thought out by my father."

Zhu Di shook his head.

"Really?"

"Not anymore!"

"Smack!"

"Whew~!!"

Zhu Li slapped Zhu Di's beaten and scarred buttocks.

With this slap, Zhu Di suddenly snorted.

The voice is extremely high-pitched.

"The third! You slut! Pull the ladder up behind you! I'm going to beat you up!! ”

Zhu Di turned his head and waved his arm at Zhu Li and roared.

Zhu Li squatted away from Zhu Di, washing his hands vigorously, as if he wanted to rub off a layer of skin on his hands.

"You have the ability to come here! Third brother, I'm waiting for you here!

As long as you can come, I'll smoke whatever you want. ”

Zhu Li looked at Zhu Di, beaming with pride, but also with an incomparably cheap spirit.

With Zhu Di's injuries, how could he get up and beat him?

After getting up, the damage was much heavier than the slap.

Moreover, Zhu Di knows this slut too well.

He said it well now, saying that as long as he walked up to him, he would let himself pump him at will.

But in fact, if you really do it, it must be yourself who will be smoked.

The third slut, how could he stand there and let himself do it?

I have a wound on my body, and I can't beat him.

After the two hurt each other here for a while, they brought the topic to the second Qin King Zhu Zhang.

"I heard that after the second brother came back, he was also beaten by his father?

You were beaten because you wanted to carry out a bitter plan, why was the second child beaten for? ”

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Di and asked.

"The second brother did some bastard things in the fiefdom and forgot what his father explained to him when he was a vassal officer."

Speaking of King Qin's affairs, Zhu Di's attitude became serious.

"Got some bastard? Someone is instructing the second brother, right?

Otherwise, according to the second brother's temperament, it is unlikely that he will disobey his father's explanation. ”

Zhu Li was stunned for a moment, and then said with a slight frown.

"Well, it's the side concubine Deng ......"

Zhu Di said, and told Zhu Li some things.

Including the fact that the Deng family gave the second child a lot of forgiveness, and King Qin has been kept in the dark.

"Damn it!"

After listening to Zhu Di's story, Zhu Li couldn't help but whisper, with a cold killing intent.

At this time, he no longer has that graceful and suave body.

Some are just angry and cold.

How did the Deng family insult the second brother?

Do you think that there is no one in the old Zhu family?!

At that moment, he said that if his father and eldest brother didn't care, then he would be in charge of this matter!

Deng must die!

"Third brother, don't get excited, the most important thing in this matter is not the Deng family, but the second brother......"

Zhu Di's words woke up Zhu Di at once and made him realize the trickiness of this matter.

His brow furrowed, and he began to wonder if there was a foolproof solution.

Zhu Di is also here to find a way.

When it came to business, the two of them returned to their seriousness and no longer quarreled.

But it's obviously not that easy to find a perfect solution.

The two of them pondered here for a long time, but they didn't come up with a good way to get rid of the Deng family and not make the second brother sad.

"Alas, if the second brother can accept the second sister-in-law, how good would it be if the two of them lived a good life?"

After some discussion to no avail, Zhu Di sighed and said.

Although Princess Qin's identity is a little sensitive, for a long time, she has already been recognized by everyone in the old Zhu family through her own behavior.

Zhu Li and Zhu Di both recognized this sister-in-law.

But it's useless for them to approve of this matter, and it needs to be approved by the second brother.

"I can only think about this, it's impossible, just the tenacious head of the second brother, how can he let go of his prejudices and accept the second sister-in-law?

This matter, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, there is no way! ”

Zhu Li shook his head.

For the second brother, they know too well.

Having said this, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!

"Alas~"

Zhu Li and Zhu Di sighed in unison.

After discovering that the other party was in sync with his god, he snorted and twisted his head to the side in disgust......

……

"Biao'er, Longjiang Bao Shipyard, and the City Ship Division, etc., I'm not going to let the fourth child do it, what do you think?"

In the Wuying Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao who came over, and after being silent for a while, he said in a loud voice.

Zhu Biao's expression was dark.

On the way here, Zhu Biao was thinking about why his father called him coming, and he actually had a certain guess in his heart.

But at this time, he really learned about it from his father, and Zhu Biao still felt uncomfortable.

"It's not just the city, it's even Beiping, my father doesn't want the fourth child to come back, right?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and did not speak.

Although he did not speak, the meaning was already clearly expressed.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pinch Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder.

"Father, the child thinks that your considerations are not good, the Longjiang treasure boat has been handed over to the fourth child to do, and at this time, he will be suddenly replaced, no matter how you look at it, it is not good.

What will the fourth child think in his heart?

He is very energetic to promote the development of medical school.

I am worried about Uncle Xu and my younger siblings......"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "The fourth child is indeed capable, and he is very reliable in doing things, but he ...... As soon as we think of what he will do in the future, our hearts will be uncomfortable.

We don't blame him for seizing the throne, we blame him for not being so ruthless to Yunxi and them.

If it weren't for that, he would have seized the throne under such circumstances, and we would have nothing to say.

Although I don't know what the fourth child did after he took the throne, it can be known from the title of Yongle Emperor and from the words that Han Cheng said that after he took the throne, he did a good job.

At least it's far better than Zhu Yunwen's idiot.

As far as Zhu Yunwen's idiot messes around, it won't be long before our Daming will no longer be Daming!

But as long as I think of the fourth ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't say any more.

Zhu Biao said: "Father, even if you don't get the fourth child to the north, then you still have to choose to send the rest of the people to guard the town."

The special environment and location of Beiping are destined to be strong, capable, and have a certain degree of autonomy.

Otherwise, there would be no way to deal with those northern barbarians.

If you are replaced by a person there, you may not be as good as the fourth child.

There is no guarantee that they will not have some other thoughts.

Not everyone is as capable and loyal as Uncle Xu.

Don't forget the emperor, An Lushan during the Tang Dynasty. ”

Hearing Zhu Biao say this, especially after mentioning An Lushan, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little speechless.

If this is the case, it is indeed better to let the fourth child continue to be stationed in Beiping.

Otherwise, if the rest of the people are allowed to win the throne, it will not only be Biao'er's children who are unlucky, but more of his children and grandchildren will also suffer.

The closer you are to yourself, the more descendants you are!

It will be a catastrophe for your own family.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao opened his mouth again, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Father doesn't have to worry too much.

What Han Cheng said was actually something that happened later, but now that Han Cheng is here and has said a lot of things, then many things will change next.

In fact, the matter of the fourth child is not difficult to solve.

The most important thing is that I have to live longer.

As long as the child does not die, where is there so much to do?

There are children here, I see which bastard dares to rebel disobediently! ”

Zhu Biao is really confident to say this.

Hearing Zhu Biao say this, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart relaxed a lot.

But soon, it became heavy again.

"Biao'er, what you said makes sense, if you're okay, none of those guys dare to rebel, let's believe you can restrain them.

You have a very good relationship with your younger brothers, and you have a very good reputation, and you are close by blood.

You won't do anything to them, and they won't make a claim against you.

But what about after you?

Even if you discipline Biao'er well, your son won't touch these vassal kings, and those vassal kings won't do anything to your son because of Biao'er's prestige, but what about your grandson?

What about your great-grandchildren?

Passed down from generation to generation, the feelings and relationships that blood was thicker than water have long become very light.

As the old saying goes, if you don't kiss after five suits, you can even intermarry.

In the words of the reader, it is called the Ze of the Gentleman, and he will be beheaded in the fifth generation.

At that time, would the emperor not cut down the feudal domain in order to prevent the feudal lord from rebelling?

Those vassal kings, will they really obey the emperor?

No, not at all!

At the beginning, Ye Boju said this, although he had ulterior motives and wanted to take the opportunity to attack us and fight for the interests of themselves as officials, but some of the truths were still good......"

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang had never considered this more far-reaching aspect.

I think he is very clever about being crowned king.

Because of these moves, the military power of those generals who are still warlords after the founding of the country can be divided and placed in the hands of the royal family.

Prevent a rebellion in the Ming Dynasty.

On the other hand, although the Ming Dynasty was established, many officials were still old people from the Yuan Dynasty.

In the later period of the Yuan Dynasty, the rule had long been rotten, and those of them who were officials in the Yuan Dynasty were all big fishers.

Fish and meat people, damage the public and private, and knock out the bones and suck the marrow of many people.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, they felt that they had just changed an emperor, and they also wanted to bring the Yuan Dynasty to their own Ming Dynasty.

Although I have made many efforts to deal with this and have achieved a lot of success, there are still many people who are not honest.

I miss the Tartars and want all kinds of corruption.

Daming is so big, even if he doesn't sleep every day, it is impossible to see every place in his eyes.

With the vassal king, you can help yourself keep an eye on the place, so that they can't be too unscrupulous!

I've always felt that my strategy is perfect.

It is very conducive to the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

But now it seems that there are many troubles in the same way!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely tired, and faintly collapsed, how could all the things he was proud of make were not right?

Obviously, at the beginning, many of them were very good, but why didn't they become successful later, and they became endless?

Zhu Biao looked at his father's painful appearance, and comforted him: "Father, sometimes you don't have to think so far.

There's no way to do it all the time.

The Great Han Dynasty resolved the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and implemented the Tui'en Order, but there was no threat from the vassal king, and the Western Han Dynasty was not taken by Wang Mang later?

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, relatives were autocratic.

The Tang Dynasty was only two generations, and the power was seized by Wu Zhou, and although the throne was returned to the Li family, there was another feudal town outside, and eunuchs did evil inside.

As for the Great Song Dynasty, all kinds of suppression of military generals, improving the status of civil officials, and sharing the world with scholars and doctors, but they have always been embarrassed, and watching the history of the Song Dynasty makes people angry.

It can be seen that even if there is no vassal king, it will not be peaceful.

There are still all kinds of bad things that cause turmoil and threaten the rule.

If you really talk about it, Father, you have these vassal systems, and they are not as bad as you think.

At least when the father was still there, the vassal system played an extremely important role in the rapid stability of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there will be all kinds of troubles in the future, but if you take 10,000 steps back, even if there is really a vassal king who rebels and seizes the throne, for the father, the difference is not too big.

At least the emperor is still the descendants of the Zhu family, and the meat is rotten in the pot.

Those who have obtained the throne will not carry out large-scale slaughter of the many descendants of the Zhu family. ”

"Biao'er, you just go to those muddy boys!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said.

The more he saw his excellent and benevolent standards, the more Zhu Yuanzhang remembered how the fourth child treated Biao'er's sons, the more angry Zhu became.

I even want to go and smoke Zhu Di again!

"The child didn't look at them, he was just telling some facts."

Zhu Biao said while pinching Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder.

"Biao'er, okay, don't pinch it, you don't feel good in your heart, sit down and rest, don't get tired of you."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and didn't let Zhu Biao pinch his shoulder again.

and personally brought a chair for Zhu Biao to sit.

After Zhu Biao sat down, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke: "Biao'er, I remembered what Han Cheng said to me before.

He said that any policy has a time-sensitive, so in later generations, they will also call it current politics.

We can't always think about building a policy that will not be easy to come by.

The policy of this vassal king is indeed effective at this time, but in the long run, it is harmful to the Ming Dynasty.

Since this is the case, let's use it for the time being, and come up with a better way to solve it.

This can't be delayed for too long.

The longer it drags on, the worse it is.

At least until we die, we need to take care of this matter.

I can't leave this problem in your hands, let alone in the hands of future generations.

The vassal system was given by us.

Most of these vassal kings are our sons, and a few are our nephews.

Let's deal with it, these rabbit cubs don't dare to rebel and don't dare to talk nonsense.

Even if they are unconvinced, they have to endure it!

Which one dares to disagree, let's draw which!! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said, and once again entered the unreasonable mode.

But Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was very unreasonable, but his eyes couldn't help but redden.

I was full of emotion.

How could he not know the reason why his father did this?

He was afraid that he would be embarrassed, and that those brothers would scold him in the future and make him unhappy.

That's why such a decision was made, intending to deal with the affairs of the vassal king before he died!

This is my father!

My father treats himself so well!

Throughout history, there has never been a prince who is more stable than himself!

I'm really lucky!

Zhu Biao immediately made up his mind that he must live well in the future!

Live as long as you can!

In this way, he can share more worries for his father.

Regardless of how many problems can be solved, at least as long as he is alive and does not let his father send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, his father will definitely be very happy.

"Father, the city boss, let the fourth child do it, I believe in the fourth child's ability, and I also believe in the fourth child's mind, this thing is no problem for him to do it."

Zhu Biao took two breaths to prevent his tears from flowing, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said these words.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, just do as you say."

These bastards don't know how much cultivation they have, and they can meet a big brother like you! ”

Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "The child thanked his father for the fourth child!" ”

Then he talked about Wu Liang, Wu Zhen, and the preparation of the water master.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It is necessary for the third child to go to Chongming, but you can't just count on the third child."

Wu Zhen and Wu Liang are all killed all the way in the troubled times, and they can go down.

Those who prepared for the Japanese sailors, now it seems that many of them are still related to those pirates.

After all, many of them are the remnants of Chen Youding and Fang Guozhen.

It would be strange to say that there was no connection with the remnants of the two Chen Fang who fled to the sea to be pirates.

In such a situation, it is not easy for the third child to go.

If things don't get things right, you can even put your life in danger......"

Zhu Yuanzhang said, and said in a deep voice: "Biao'er, you will contact the Chaohu Sailor later, and say that their opportunity to turn over has come, and they are willing to follow you, the prince, to do things."

If they are willing and do a good job, then we can all blame the mistakes they made before.

Don't say we don't miss the old love. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was not good to have only Chaohu Water Master under his command, and he needed to cultivate another water master who was really subordinate to him.

In recent years, there have been fewer sailors, and when I looked back at this time, I found that this sailor who was trained as a descendant of myself had really a lot of problems.

It's time to use a knife on them!

It is also necessary to appropriately enhance the status of Chaohu Lake water division.

I pressed the Chaohu Water Master down quite a lot before.

At this time, it is only appropriate to let Biao'er come forward to subdue them.

Since Liao Yongzhong was executed by himself for his crimes, this Chaohu sailor has been sitting on a cold bench, and he can't live in fear.

Now that Biao'er is showing kindness to them, they will definitely not miss this opportunity and will hold Biao'er's leg firmly......

Hearing what his father said, about the Chaohu Water Master, Zhu Biao was a little surprised.

He really didn't expect that his father would be ready to use the Chaohu Water Master again at this time.

Give Chaohu Water Master a chance to be reborn.

If you look at it this way, it is...... Liao Yongzhong, who led the Chaohu Water Division at the beginning, left the thorn in his father's heart disappeared?

Thinking like this, Zhu Biao shook his head.

I don't think it's possible.

At the beginning, Liao Yongzhong's incident left too much thorn in his father, and it became his lifelong regret.

Even Liu Bowen will be killed by Hu Weiyong, which has a lot to do with this matter.

This thorn cannot be easily disappeared.

Now it seems that it can only be the father who temporarily ignores this thorn for the sake of the overall situation.

However, Zhu Biao didn't ask much about this matter, and didn't take the initiative to touch this thorn.

After agreeing to it, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang discussed a lot here, and then the third child went to Chongming Island for a detailed plan.

A number of arrangements were made.

After confirming that there should be no big deviation from the plan, Zhu Biao left Zhu Yuanzhang and quickly went to find the third and fourth children.

He knew very well that according to the fourth child's cleverness, he was afraid that Bacheng had already guessed the meaning of his father's call to come, and he was in a hurry at this time.

I have to go back and tell him what happened, so that he doesn't worry too much......

……

After Zhu Biao left, Zhu Yuanzhang did not go to see the recital.

Ponder here with your brow on your hands.

Looks sad.

He wasn't thinking about the affairs of the Chaohu Water Master, but thinking about how to reasonably solve the problem of the vassal king in the future.

Don't look at what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao said so casually, as if he already had a way.

In fact, Lao Zhu himself does not have a good solution to this matter.

This matter is very tricky for him.

It seems that no matter what you do, it's not right, it's not good.

If the rest of his sons are not good enough, he will be able to deal with them.

But among them, there are many people with outstanding abilities.

Among them, the third and fourth are the most.

As for the second child, the brute is a little bit of a brute, and a little stupid, but it is really unambiguous to lead the troops to fight!

In other matters, Zhu Yuanzhang, who is very decisive, fell into a deep entanglement in this matter and didn't know what to do......

……

"Fourth, you clean up and deal with the affairs of Longjiang Bao Shipyard."

"Really?!"

Zhu Di suddenly became pleasantly surprised.

Originally, he had always been very worried in his heart, and he was very worried that he would not be able to do these things again.

As the eldest brother stayed with his father, the longer he stayed, the stronger this feeling in his heart became.

As a result, who would have thought that after the eldest brother came over, he would bring such a big surprise to himself!

"Naturally, it's true, the play is ready, how can it be done if you don't continue singing?

I'll leave this matter to you, and both my father and I can rest assured. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, his eye sockets were a little hot.

Although after the eldest brother came over, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and he didn't say anything, but he knew that he could have such a result, and the eldest brother definitely made a great effort from his father.

Otherwise, according to the nature of my father, I am afraid that he will not deal with it like this.

"Big brother, please rest assured, I will definitely do things beautifully, without the slightest mistake!"

"Well, I believe you."

Zhu Di, who was in an excited mood, didn't even stay for a moment, and immediately asked people to carry him, lie on a stretcher and leave the Forbidden City.

There was no delay on the way, and I went directly to Longjiang Bao Shipyard.

And Zhu Biaoer also told Zhu Li, Zhu Li's next tasks, and a more detailed plan.

"Third child, this mission is very dangerous and difficult, you must be careful!"

Where does Zhu Li care about this?

He waved his hand and said, "Big brother, it's okay, even if the task is dangerous, I can complete it better than the fourth!" ”

With that, he opened the folding fan and shook it here......

……

After Zhu Yuanzhang corrected the recital for a while, he went to see Queen Ma.

What Han Cheng said today, Queen Ma knew some of the front, but she didn't know the back......

……

At this time, Han Cheng also went to see Princess Ningguo, he had an important matter that he needed to help his future daughter-in-law solve......
