However, Zhou Tong couldn't eat anymore and actually sat directly next to Zhao Feng, looking at Zhao Feng in surprise.
"Mr. Zhao, are you right? I didn't do anything at your place, yet I got so many dividends?"
Zhao Feng smiled and nodded. He turned around and saw Zhou Tong looking at him with an expectant expression. Moreover, Zhou Tong's face was very close to his. When he turned his head, he could even feel Zhou Tong's fragrant breath.
Zhao Feng turned his head and looked at the food with some embarrassment before speaking slowly.
"Her Royal Highness, you are the image ambassador in my beauty salon, and my beauty salon can make money only because of the publicity of Her Royal Highness."
"So the annual dividend is about seventy or eighty thousand taels. Since you have encountered a problem here, it doesn't matter if I advance it to you in advance."
Zhou Tong was immediately pleasantly surprised and hugged Zhao Feng's arm.
"Mr. Zhao, you are so kind to me!"
Zhao Feng nodded awkwardly, then lowered his voice and spoke.
"Your Highness, in fact, you are not bad at management at all, but this housekeeper has robbed you of your power."
"Give me a few days, and I will definitely get to the bottom of your situation."
Zhou Tong was a little surprised. It was not that she had never suspected it, but the housekeeper always made a ledger of the expenses in the server and showed it to her, so Zhou Tong could not see any problem at all.
Zhao Feng was thinking in his heart while eating.
He could see that there were many problems in the princess mansion that had not yet been discovered, and the butler was just one of them. As for the servants below, they were either attracted by the butler or threatened by the butler.
But this time he used the topic to teach a lesson. The purpose of this butler was to shock everyone, and at the same time let them know that the situation in this mansion was about to change, and maybe some changes would come.
After dinner, Zhao Feng accompanied Zhou Tong back to his room to rest. Logically speaking, Zhao Feng could not enter Zhou Tong's boudoir, but Zhou Tong directly pulled Zhao Feng in.
"Mr. Zhao, this is my room, your room is next door to mine!"
"If anything happens, you can just call the maid outside at any time. I don't have any men here. I will arrange a room for your two servants for them to live in."
Zhao Feng nodded slightly. Although he didn't want to look around, when he saw the layout of Zhou Tong's room, Zhao Feng couldn't help but asked awkwardly.
"Your Highness, are these the only things in your room?"
Zhou Tong scratched his head shyly. There was only a canopy bed and a desk left in the room. Although there were bookshelves at the back, all the calligraphy and paintings on them were gone.
Apart from this, there are not even any antique ornaments or other decorations in the room.
It’s hard to imagine that this is a princess’s room. If you didn’t know better, you would have thought you were entering a commoner’s room!
Seeing that Zhou Tong didn't speak, Zhao Feng sighed softly. It seemed that the financial situation in the Princess Mansion was indeed not optimistic.
Afterwards, Zhao Feng resigned and planned to go back to his room to think about it carefully.
Returning to his room, Zhao Feng first called the two servants he brought from home.
"Liu Jia, Li Ding, I will arrange for you two to do something."
Zhao Feng lowered his voice and told them what to do. Liu Jia and Li Ding both nodded hurriedly, looking confident.
Zhao Feng smiled and waved his hand, asking them to investigate. Since Zhao Feng gave these servants a lot of money and was very concerned about their family situations, and many of them were even brought by Zhao Feng from Zhao County, they The loyalty to Zhao Feng is beyond words.
Even Zhou Tong's room was so shabby, let alone the other guest rooms, so Zhao Feng's room only had one bed. This made Zhao Feng sigh helplessly. Unexpectedly, there was not even a candle. .
I guess the other rooms must not be much better. Just as I was thinking this, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Dear guest, let me bring you hot water."
A timid voice sounded at the door. Zhao Feng walked over and opened the door. He saw a maid who looked like a teenager standing at the door, her head lowered shyly, not daring to look up at Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng took the basin and the maid was about to leave when Zhao Feng suddenly said.
"Wait, come in."
The little maid glanced at Zhao Feng in surprise. She didn't know what she thought of, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
After Zhao Feng let the maid in, he asked her to close the door, which made the maid's face turn redder.
Putting the basin on the shelf nearby, Zhao Feng pointed to the bed and said.
"Sit down first."
Zhao Feng wanted to let this maid sit somewhere else, but there was only one bed left in this room to sit on.
The maid sat on the bed very shyly. Zhao Feng put down the basin and towel and started to wash his face.
After washing his face and drying it, Zhao Feng turned around and found that the maid had already unbuttoned his coat and was about to take it off.
Zhao Feng was a little panicked for a moment, turned around quickly, and then said with a frown.
"What are you doing?"
Because the maid was extremely shy, even her voice was trembling.
"Master, we heard that if there are distinguished guests in the house, they will ask us to accompany them to bed. Don't worry, Master, I have never served other men..."
Zhao Feng was a little dumbfounded. There was indeed such etiquette in this era, but Zhao Feng didn't think it was etiquette.
"Put your clothes on. I'm not asking you to do this. I just want to ask you a few words."
When the maid heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put on her clothes before standing up shyly.
Zhao Feng turned to look at the maid and asked.
"Are you from Youzhou?"
The maid shook her head: "Sir, I am from Yizhou. I was sold to the capital before, and then bought to the princess's mansion. I have been following her highness."
Zhao Feng sighed softly. In this era, buying and selling people was a very normal thing, and he couldn't sympathize with it.
"Then how much is your monthly salary?"
The maid was a little embarrassed: "It's two, twenty taels of silver..."
Zhao Feng chuckled and said calmly.
"Twenty taels of silver? Do you know how much money the chamberlain next to His Majesty earns per month?"
"Is it possible that your salary is higher than that of the chief internal officer, so why don't you do it right? Recruit from the truth!"
The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground before speaking in a panic.
"Sir, the housekeeper asked us to say this. In fact, we can only get 50 yuan per month!"
"All the maids in the mansion are like this!"
