The housekeeper looked worried and said, "My prince used to sweep the floor, let alone sweep the floor, and he never even touched the broom. Now he has started sweeping the floor?"
Zhang Ren nodded seriously, "No, I can't even stop him."
The housekeeper said: "Then my prince's brain must be seriously injured. Have you asked a doctor to take a look at my prince's brain? If Duke Liang is still here, he will definitely be very worried."
Mentioning the dead Lan Yu, the housekeeper couldn't help but wipe his wet eyes.
Zhang Ren shrugged helplessly, showing an extremely embarrassed expression, and said: "To be honest, my family's life is not easy. We can't open the pot anymore. Your prince eats a lot and is picky about food. I have been a month old." The salary is only a few taels of silver, if it continues like this, your prince will probably go hungry."
When the housekeeper heard this, he hurriedly said: "It can't go on like this. My prince has never lived a hard life, and there is still some savings in the house. I will bring some and give it to you, sir. Please wait a moment, and I will come back as soon as I go." "
This is exactly what Zhang Ren wants. Now that he has no more than a tael of silver, it is impossible to reduce expenditures. After all, there are so many mouths waiting for food. Now he can only think about increasing income. Since Zhu Yunxi, a big dog, is here, , how could he not come over to collect some wool?
Zhang Ren waved his hand, tried his best to hold back his smile, and said, "Fuck you, I'll walk around in the yard first."
The butler said again, "Not well taken care of" and walked back.
It was a rare trip out today, so Zhang Ren wandered around on his own.
Not to mention, Zhu Yunxi's private residence is still very good, with all the pavilions and pavilions. Although it is not as pleasant as the Suzhou gardens, it is more magnificent.
Zhang Ren doesn’t understand architecture, but he still marvels at the charm of traditional mortise and tenon architecture.
But before he had even wandered around, he saw the housekeeper running over in a hurry.
The housekeeper put a wad of banknotes directly into Zhang Ren's hand and said, "I have kept you waiting for a long time. My prince has never endured hardship. I hope you will not wait too long on him."
Zhang Ren couldn't help but feel a little dazed while holding a thick stack of banknotes. He shook his head and said, "With so many banknotes, of course I won't neglect him. Don't worry."
The housekeeper couldn't rest assured, so he asked Zhang Ren again: "My prince is very naughty. Please prepare more food for him. Moreover, his brain disease cannot delay him. He must hire the best doctor. Money is enough." If it’s not enough, there are still some in the house, so just come and get them.”
Zhang Ren counted the banknotes and couldn't help but take a breath. It was a full two thousand taels. And from what he heard, there were more banknotes in the house?
You must know that Zhang Ren was able to squeeze out a thousand taels from the Zhang family based on his own strength and identity. This still made the old man of the Zhang family feel distressed for a long time.
But when they arrived at Zhu Yunxi's private residence, the housekeeper threw two thousand taels casually without blinking an eyelid. Sure enough, all the royal families in the world are wealthy!
Zhang Ren couldn't help but curse in his heart. He put the banknotes in his arms and asked, "Is there any banknotes in the house?"
The housekeeper didn't hide it, nodded and said: "There are still some."
Zhang Ren stretched out his hand directly in front of the housekeeper and said, "Then bring them all."
….
The housekeeper was also shocked. Now that the prince is under the roof of other people, he will inevitably look at others. The housekeeper understands the ways of the world, so he took out two thousand taels of silver notes. This money was nominally used for the prince's daily expenses and medical treatment, but in fact it was also used to pay for the prince's daily expenses and medical treatment. Take care of Zhang Ren, hoping that Zhang Ren can treat his prince better.
But I didn’t expect that Zhang Ren had such a big appetite that he couldn’t even feed him two thousand taels?
Although he was unhappy, the housekeeper was still extremely polite. After all, he had no choice but to have his own prince in his hands. If it had been before, he would have beaten greedy people like Zhang Ren out with sticks.
The housekeeper looked embarrassed and said: "Although there is still money in the house, the expenses of such a big house are not small. In the past, I had Duke Liang to take care of me, but now my prince can only rely on himself. It's just that The place in Ruchang is just like that, it can barely support itself with its fiefdom and food, and considering the current world...my prince always has to keep some extra money."
Zhang Ren said: "You must know what happened to your prince a few days ago, so I won't hide it from you. I'm afraid your prince won't be able to stay in Jinling City any longer. For this reason, We can only go back to the fiefdom. As for Jinling City, I’m afraid I’ll never come back. Why carry so much money?”
After hearing this, the housekeeper was shocked again. He naturally knew about Zhu Yunxi's assassination a few days ago. He only thought that it was the work of thieves and did not think deeply about it.
"What, is there anyone in Jinling City who wants to harm my prince? After all, my prince is also your majesty's direct grandson. Who has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?" The steward's words were quite indignant.
Zhang Ren looked straight at the housekeeper and said, "Lanyu is dead. He was charged with treason!"
Zhang Ren's answer seemed to have no preface and follow-up, and the housekeeper already knew this, but he just didn't connect the two things.
Now that Zhang Ren was reminded like this, the housekeeper's eyes widened. He obviously thought of something and couldn't help but ask: "There are indeed people in Jinling City who dare to do harm to my prince..."
After saying this, the butler covered his mouth with both hands.
Zhang Ren nodded, "You are a smart person, you know what to say and what not to say."
The housekeeper covered his mouth and nodded desperately. If he said these words, he would be afraid that his head would move. Many times, knowing is the same thing, but the window paper cannot be pierced.
Zhang Ren once again stretched out his hand to the housekeeper and said, "Well, since your prince is not coming back, just give me all the money in the house."
In the end, Zhang Ren took over a large pile of silver notes from the housekeeper. He only made a rough calculation and found that it was about 10,000 taels.
Zhang Ren scolded all the bad things about the feudal dynasty in his heart, and happily put all the banknotes in his arms. Zhu Yunxi, you are eating my food and drinking my food. I even saved your life. You are so If you have money, it's not too much for me to hack away a thousand taels, right?
Of course, Zhang Ren also thought of a legitimate reason for himself. He was robbing the rich to give to the poor, because Zhu Yunxi was really rich and he was really poor.
With his arms full of banknotes, Zhang Ren left Zhu Yunxi's private residence contentedly, but as soon as he came out, he slapped himself on the forehead.
I was just counting money inside, but I forgot about the real thing.
So Zhang Ren turned around and knocked on the door again.
The housekeeper poked his head out again. He looked at Zhang Ren with a lifeless look on his face and said, "My lord, we really have no money."
Night rivers and lakes.
