Zhang Ren smiled sheepishly, scratched his head and said, "Sorry, it's my fault. I forgot all about the business."
The housekeeper doesn’t understand, what else in the world is more important than money?
"I wonder if there is anything else important, sir?"
Zhang Ren then asked: "Is there a carriage in the house?"
Seeing that Zhang Ren didn't mention money again, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief. There was indeed a few hundred taels of silver in the house, but there were many maids and servants in the house. In addition to eating, drinking, and having sex, they also had to give some money. .
The housekeeper said: "The prince liked to travel before the feudal lordship, so there are still some carriages in the mansion."
Zhang Ren smiled and said, "It would be nice to have a carriage. Take me there quickly to have a look."
The housekeeper took Zhang Ren to the backyard. When he arrived, Zhang Ren couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He could guarantee that today was the day when he took the most cold breath, because in front of him, there were a total of forty Several carriages.
Zhang Ren pointed at these carriages and asked the steward: "Do these carriages belong to your prince?"
The butler nodded.
Zhang Ren asked again: "Even if he likes to travel, can he ride in such a carriage?"
The butler pointed to the most luxurious car among them and said, "My prince only rides in this car."
Zhang Ren pointed at the carriages again: "He only rides in one, so are there so many here just for show?"
The butler looked at Zhang Ren with the eyes of a country bumpkin and said: "Sir, I have told you that my prince likes to travel, so there must be someone to take care of him when he travels, right? My prince said that it would be a shame for the servants to walk on foot, so he also prepared some for the servants. Carriage, and you have to bring some food for this trip, right? When you have food, you have to bring some pots and pans, right? There are so many carriages that need to be loaded with them. Oh, by the way, there is also a toilet. My prince has to use his special one when he goes out. toilet."
Well, Zhang Ren only felt that poverty limited his imagination. Look at Zhu Yunxi, even the toilet has a specific carriage.
Of course, in Zhang Ren's eyes, this is a disease. Diseases caused by pampering are all caused by habit. Look at Zhu Yunxi today. Without a specific toilet, doesn't he still have the same toilet every day?
"Since there is a carriage, there are matching horses and driver, right?" Zhang Ren asked.
The butler nodded and said, "Of course there is."
Zhang Ren calculated in his mind that more than forty carriages are indeed a lot, but there are many people living in his home now, and the carriages are still somewhat insufficient. But now it is better than nothing. If it is not possible, let the old, weak, women and children sit in the carriages. If you are young and strong, go to Eleven Road.
Zhang Ren said: "Then you put all the carriages with coachmen. Remember, the coachmen must be trustworthy. I want to take all the carriages and coachmen with me. You don't want your prince to become a vassal on foot, right? Oh. , By the way, if there are any remaining horses, I will take them with me too."
The housekeeper nodded again and said, "Sir, I will make arrangements right away."
Perhaps it was because Zhu Yunxi often traveled in the past, and the housekeeper arranged it in a very orderly manner. However, when he ordered people to install the toilet on the carriage, Zhang Ren could no longer sit still.
"There's no need to bring a toilet with you." Zhang Ren immediately stopped him.
Having a toilet in the car already takes up space. Besides, who wants to ride in the same car with a toilet?
….
The butler smiled and said, "Sir, our prince is very rich. Without this toilet, he can't pay his respects."
Zhang Ren knew that he couldn't get used to this kind of thing. He took a step forward and said: "What kind of toilet should a grown man use? If you are really in a hurry, what about the grass pit on the roadside? Your prince is here to become a vassal, not to play. of!"
The housekeeper admitted that Zhang Ren's words made sense, but he was meant to serve Zhu Yunxi. Over the years, serving Zhu Yunxi had become deeply ingrained into his life.
Zhang Ren also knew that no matter how much he talked to the housekeeper, it would be useless.
Just when the housekeeper was about to say something else, Zhang Ren stepped forward and kicked the heavy toilet away with just one kick. After the toilet drew an arc in the air, it came into close contact with the rockery. Bumped to pieces.
Zhang Ren was very satisfied with this result. He shrugged and said, "Okay, Ma
Now that the bucket is gone, there is no need to move it up. "
The housekeeper felt annoyed for a while. He pointed at Zhang Ren, as if he wanted to accuse him.
But Zhang Ren said directly: "Stop being so picky, it won't do your prince any good at all! If you really do it for his own good, don't spoil him. If you are too arrogant, you may not be able to run fast when you encounter an assassin. You go Ask those assassins, when they want to kill your prince, will they indulge him?"
The housekeeper put down his hand helplessly and finally sighed.
Zhang Ren was also afraid that the housekeeper would cause trouble again, so he asked: "I'll say it again, I only want the horse, the carriage, and the driver. Other than that, I don't want anything else. If you really want to put it on the carriage, you can If it’s the same, I’ll smash it!”
After hearing Zhang Ren's words, the housekeeper also became a little angry. After all, he was also the prince's housekeeper. How could he be scolded like this?
Just listen to the butler say: "Sir, are you being too domineering by doing this? You just took my prince's token to pass the order, why are you the boss of my prince? You should pay attention to the superiors and inferiors. Okay, otherwise, I might as well sue you in front of the prince!"
Zhu Yunxi and Zhang Ren didn't even pay attention to him, let alone one of Zhu Yunxi's housekeepers? He waved his hands rather disdainfully and said, "You are free to do as you like! You can sue however you like. See if Zhu Yunxi dares to say one more word to me!"
The butler was so angry that his hands were shaking. He pointed at Zhang Ren and shouted sternly: "How can you call my prince by his first name? Do you really think that with my prince's name, you can go wild everywhere?"
Zhang Ren found a place to sit and said softly: "In addition to the brand your prince gave me, I also have a few pieces on me. Do you want to take a look?"
As Zhang Ren spoke, he took out all the tokens in his arms. He pointed at them one by one and said, "This is the token of Jinyiwei, this is the token of the imperial palace, and this is the token of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion. Oh, and this piece, this piece is the most useless, it is the token of James Mansion."
Looking at the tokens all over the floor, the housekeeper was really frightened. He couldn't afford to offend any sign in there.
In a backward era, for ordinary people, face and dignity are the cheapest things.
Without saying a word, the housekeeper knelt down on the ground, slapped himself in the mouth, and said, "I am blind and have offended your lord. Please don't blame me and spare my life."
Human life is also very cheap these days. The lives of noble officials are completely different from the lives of ordinary people. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang does not know about the killing of a noble official, he will not be punished at all.
So in order to survive, the housekeeper simply threw away his dignity.
Night rivers and lakes.
