Chapter Twenty-Five: Restless Home, Unexpected Visit

People say seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a money word!

Everything is easy with money, but it is difficult to move an inch without money, although these two sentences are exaggerated, but they are not unreasonable, such as the current Zhu Changluo, looking at the bad book in front of him, he has an urge to go crazy!

"Wang An, just say it, how much money do we have left?"

Closing the ledger and rubbing his swollen eyes, Zhu Changluo asked in a sullen voice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu is because of the reason of anxiety, Shenzong is very generous this time, although the house that was rewarded to Zhu Changluo's mother and son is not the regulation of the palace, but it is also a big house with three entrances and three exits, and it is very well decorated, it is said that it was just built by a wealthy merchant in the capital, and it was bought by the inner chamberlain before he had time to move in, and Zhu Changluo was cheaper.

When he first saw the house, he was still slightly happy, but when Wang An handed over the account book with a bitter face, Zhu Changluo was not happy.

The big mansion is good, but it costs a lot of money, Zhu Changluo had already sent Wang An over to arrange it in advance when he received the order, but who knew that this silver would be spent so quickly!

"Brother, when we left the palace, the queen mother rewarded a thousand taels of silver, plus the savings of Concubine Gong over the years, a total of 1,300 taels of silver, because we are in a hurry, so the furniture ornaments are bought ready-made, more expensive, and there are all kinds of sundries, all purchased, almost spent seven or eight hundred taels of silver, and then there are some servants and maids in this house, and the slaves and maids find someone to buy a dozen clever ones, and also spent a sum of silver, and as usual we have to pay them a month's salary in advance, In this way, the silver we have on hand is less than two hundred taels......"

The person in charge of leaving the palace is Wang An, so he is naturally clear of these doors, breaking his fingers, and counting one by one, but in the end, he is also helpless.

He is also a good woman who is difficult to cook without rice, although this house is decorated, but the furniture and beds inside have to be repurchased, Wang An has already broken his leg this day, so he finally arranged everything before Zhu Changluo's mother and son arrived.

It's just that when I look at the account book at the end, I feel like I want to cry without tears.

The price of goods in the capital is not low, a stone of rice costs five dollars of silver, there are less than thirty or forty people in this house, and the food cost of each month alone costs dozens of taels of silver, plus other expenses, two hundred taels of silver is enough to last for two months......

"Then we don't have any other place to get money except for Yulu?"

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Changluo's forehead hurt a little, people say that a penny is difficult for a hero, but he didn't expect that a prince who is a dignified prince will encounter this kind of difficulty one day.

Why is the prince in the novel either bullying men and women, or having a lot of money, so much so that he can't even afford to support more than a dozen maids and servants......

"It's gone!"

Wang An replied very honestly.

"If you have a fief, you can have the tax of the fief, but the emperor only gave you the grade, and did not specify the fief! And the slave has to remind you that now that we have moved out, the palace will no longer give Concubine Gong any more silver, and you will not be able to support the concubine until the official decree comes down......"

"I ...... ! ”

Zhu Changluo rarely burst into foul language, it turned out that the old boy of the Divine Sect was waiting for him here! If I had known, I should have blackmailed him for a sum of money again! Two hundred taels of silver is enough for a family of three to live a prosperous life for two years, but to support such a mansion, I am afraid it will not even be possible for two months!

"Brother, what do we do now?"

It was the first time for Wang An to see Zhu Changluo's demeanor, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, and asked with a hint of fear.

"Cold salad!"

"Huh?!"

"Go and tell the kitchen, first bring me a plate of cold pork ears to pad my stomach!"

Ignoring the little envoy's inexplicable eyes, Zhu Changluo jumped down from the chair, shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

Isn't it money?

He didn't believe it, even Concubine Zheng and Zhang Cheng could clean it up, and he would be stumped with a little silver!

"But it's not yet dinner......"

Poor Wang An's mind hadn't turned around yet, weren't they discussing how to find the silver? Why did the topic inexplicably turn to the pig's ear......

"I'm hungry!"

Zhu Changluo said confidently, without the slightest hint of annoyance just now.

Looking at his thin little arms and legs, Zhu Changluo felt that his request was very reasonable!

God knows what kind of life he lived in the palace, every day he just eats the tasteless so-called warm supplement, which is not delicious or not!

And the most excessive thing is that there is not even a little bit of flesh, so how can a young man like Zhu Changluo, whose body is growing and whose spirit is not happy, endure it!

Thinking of the crisp pig ears, Zhu Changluo's saliva is about to flow out!

"Alright then, slave and maid will go!"

Wang An hesitated for a while, and then realized that he was not in the palace now, this mansion was his own territory, and he could eat whatever he wanted.

"No need, I'll go with you!"

Zhu Changluo was interested, and pulled Wang An to the yard, the gluttonous worm in his stomach couldn't wait!

This house is not small, but after all, it is just built by a wealthy businessman, naturally it is not as good as in the palace, and it didn't take long for Zhu Changluo and the others to find the kitchen, but what they didn't expect was that at this time, there were already people in the kitchen who were busy......

"Mother? Autumn Immortals? How did you get to the kitchen! Wang An, what's going on? ”

The people who were busy in the kitchen were Wang and Li Qiuxian, and a few maids were standing outside.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Changluo's face sank immediately, and he asked Wang An in a cold voice.

In fact, he didn't want to target Wang An, but there were already more than a dozen maids and servants in this mansion, but none of them came in to help, but let the Wang family be busy inside, which inevitably reminded Zhu Changluo of the original slave bully in Gyeongbok Palace.

And Wang An is the person in charge of these things, so he naturally wants to find him if something happens!

"This ...... Brother forgive sins, slaves and maids don't know! ”

Looking at this scene, Wang An was also a little surprised, seeing that Zhu Changluo's face had changed, he suddenly felt anxious.

When he went to buy people, the gang clearly promised that all he was trained maids and servants, who knew that he was so blind, he didn't know how terrible it was for his brother to start a fire, he knew it in his heart.

His face also sank, Wang An took a step forward and shouted at the maid next to him.

"How do you serve people? Just let the old lady be busy inside, are you just doing it? Are there any rules? ”

I have to say that these people are still very scared of Wang An, who bought him, and when they saw that he was full of emotion, they immediately knelt down in fright.

It's just that two of them are bold, and they hesitated for a moment before they spoke weakly.

"Steward Wang, it's the old lady who won't let us help! She said she was going to cook for her own childe! ”

Although Zhu Changluo and the others are now out of the palace, the will of the king has not yet come down after all, so adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile, these maids and servants do not know their true identities.

"What's going on?"

Hearing the sound outside, the Wang family also hurried out, looking at the maid and servant woman who was kneeling on the ground, and then looking at the angry son, Wang's heart suddenly understood a little, and he also spoke.

"Luo'er, don't blame them! It's true that my mother wants to cook you a meal, so she doesn't let them help! ”

Wang is a kind-hearted person, and today's incident was originally because she wanted to cook herself, so she opened her mouth to explain.

"Yes, Childe, we can't be blamed for this, it's the old lady herself who won't let us in to help......"

It's a pity that seeing Wang's explanation, these maids and servants seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and they spoke one after another, vaguely even with a bit of justification.

Zhu Changluo's face turned cold, and the corners of his mouth lifted a sneer.

"Wang An, sell these two to me in the Qinglou, from now on, I don't want to see them again!"

didn't say much, Zhu Changluo pointed to the two happiest girls and said.

Give them a few colors, and they really think they're easy to bully!

"Why? We didn't do anything wrong! It was the old lady who wouldn't let us help! Besides, we didn't sell ourselves to you, why did you sell us to the Qinglou! ”

The two girls' faces turned pale, but a trace of disbelief flashed in their eyes.

They had also served some big families before, knew some rules, and looked at Zhu Changluo's orphans and widows, and couldn't help but think of contempt, but who would have thought that this master would be so ruthless that he would sell people to Qinglou when he opened his mouth.

"Hmph, if the old lady doesn't let you help, won't you help? My mother has been working inside for so long, and you slaves and maids are chatting outside, but it makes sense? I'm the master of this house, and if something like this happens, who of you will report me? ”

Zhu Changluo's eyes narrowed slightly, how could he not be clear about the thoughts of these people.

It's nothing more than looking at Wang's kindness, so he has to make inches, even if Wang's wants to cook, how can there be a reason not to let them help! Even if it was true, none of them even thought of reporting to Zhu Changluo.

It's obviously a bully to look at their orphans and widows!

"You didn't sign the deed of sale, but this deed says that you will serve in the house for five years, and within these five years, I will be your master, and I will send you to work in the Qinglou, not to be a prostitute, why not?"

Zhu Changluo sneered and played with him, these people were a little tender.

The law of the Ming Dynasty prohibits the sale of servants and maids, so there is no such thing as a deed of sale, some are just deeds, but the difference between this deed and the deed of sale is just a time limit.

When Wang An bought these girls, the deed stated five years, in fact, it was a lifetime, if the five years arrived, the main family had their own way to let them continue to sign the deed, these people wanted to bully him and didn't understand the doorway, no way!

"This ...... Childe, we know that we are wrong! The slave and maid should not let the old lady work in it alone, the slave and the maid know that they are wrong, please let the slave and the maid go, the slave and the maid must work hard in the future! ”

The two girls panicked and kowtowed again and again, looking miserable, but unfortunately Zhu Changluo still had a cold face and was unmoved.

If you don't teach them a lesson today, I'm afraid I don't know what will happen in the future!

"Luo'er, they don't sin like this, let them go......"

In the end, the Wang family still can't stand it, if this person is sent to the Qinglou, it will really be ruined, and when the time comes, ** pinching their deeds, but it will not be as easy to talk as it is now.

"Okay, Wang An, deduct their wages for two months and send them to be rough girls!"

Zhu Changluo's face softened slightly, but his voice was still stiff.

The girls at the bottom of the rough girls do all the dirty work and the wages are small, so it can be regarded as a lesson for them!

The two maids' faces turned pale, but they still bowed their heads, because they knew that this was already Zhu Changluo's face to the Wang family, otherwise if they really arrived in the Qinglou, they would not be able to get out for the rest of their lives......

"Mother, we're all out, why do you bother to do these things! Just let the next person do it, come, I'll help you back! ”

After dealing with these, Zhu Changluo turned around and said to the Wang family, with a bit of anger and dissatisfaction in his tone.

may be because of the fire, Wang's body is stained with a little black ash, which looks a little embarrassed, which makes Zhu Changluo frown......

"Mother is fine, the meal is almost ready......"

Seeing his son's nervous appearance, Wang shook his head and smiled, and said dotingly.

"Childe, someone came to you, it seems that the person who came is not good!"

Before Zhu Changluo could continue to speak, a small guy ran in and hurriedly said......
