After hearing what Zhu Yunhuan said, Zhu Gui poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Don't even think about it!"
"If Mrs. Deng hadn't come, maybe you could have mentioned it. Now your second aunt has also come to Beijing. That woman values ​​money more than her life, and she will definitely not give you a penny!"
When Zhu Yunhuan heard that he couldn't make money, he immediately lost interest.
Besides, he had no sense of belonging to the princes of the Zhu family, and he went to the dinner just to make up the numbers and serve as a foil for Zhu Yunwen.
"Forget it. If I have that much time, I might as well write more manuscripts at home!"
Zhu Gui nodded upon hearing this.
"It's better not to go. If I didn't want to take this opportunity to ask Uncle San about the casino, I wouldn't want to go today."
"Then I'll trouble Uncle Thirteen to convey my gratitude to you. If you're not in a hurry, just wait here for a while. I'll go back and find some valuable things. You can take them out and exchange them for money, and bring them back to me tomorrow!"
"If the sale price is high, Uncle Thirteen will deduct the money I paid previously and give me the rest!"
When Zhu Gui heard this, he was immediately moved, but he was a little embarrassed to do so.
"How can this be possible? Your Thirteenth Uncle is not that kind of person. If I lose, I lose. At worst, I can go to my mother and ask for more money someday..."
"Uncle Thirteen, please don't be polite to me. You live outside the palace and have many favors and high expenses. You also have to maintain the dignity of a vassal king. Just take it with peace of mind!"
Zhu Gui was deeply touched and felt that his nephew was really nice.
"Since my nephew said so, then I won't refuse you."
Zhu Yunhuan made an appointment with Zhu Gui, so he ran back and rummaged through the drawers. Seeing this, Sandezi hurriedly asked
"Your Highness, what are you looking for?"
"Find something to sell and print a book. I don't believe I won't be famous!"
When Sandezi saw his prince like this, he felt that he had gone insane.
"Your Highness, why don't we stop writing and close the bookstore!"
"no!"
Zhu Yunhuan now seemed like a gambler who had lost all his money and just wanted to get it all back in one last go.
"I believe in myself, I will definitely become famous!"
San Dezi felt distressed and sad when he saw this. Finally, he went back to the outer room and brought his porcelain pillow over.
"Your Highness, take this pillow and exchange it for money. I estimate that it can be exchanged for at least several dozen taels of silver."
"This is a gift from me to you. How can I exchange your things for money?"
When Sandezi heard this, he felt warm in his heart.
"Your Highness, I have been useless for a long time. My life is not worthy of this pillow. I have nightmares as soon as I lie on it. I can only sleep peacefully when I change it back to the original wooden pillow."
After hearing what Sandezi said, Zhu Yunhuan put the porcelain pillow and the jade cabbage together. But just as he was packing, Sandezi spoke again.
"Yes!"
"Your Highness, you still have more than ten years of monthly allowances to be collected. Although it is only twenty taels per month, it will add up to a lot."
"After these twelve years, I must have at least two thousand taels!"
A few little girls who were squatting in Zhu Yunhuan's courtyard waiting for dinner came over chattering when they heard this.
"Third brother, we also have a monthly allowance!"
"We get ten taels of silver every month, but no one has given us any in all these years!"
Zhu Yunhuan was so short of money that he was going crazy. When he heard that someone dared to owe him money, his eyes turned red.
"What!"
"How dare Lu embezzle my money?"
"He even dared to embezzle the money of Mingyue, Minglan, Mingyu, and Mingdang!"
Zhu Yunhuan asked a few more questions about the monthly salary. After finding out the truth, he immediately dropped the jade cabbage and went straight to Lu to ask for money.
When Mrs. Lu heard that it was this rebellious son who wanted to see her, she gnashed her teeth in hatred. She almost died at the hands of this rebellious son last time!
Although my jaw has been repositioned now, it still habitually dislocates whenever I eat hard food.
According to the people at the Imperial Hospital, this is a chronic disease and it will take several years for the disease to heal!
Therefore, when he heard that this rebellious son had the nerve to ask for a meeting, he wanted to order someone to beat him out with a stick immediately!
But when she thought of the voices outside that could be heard of her mistreating this rebellious son, she had to be patient and call him in.
"Yunxun, are you here to see mother for something?"
When Mrs. Lu saw Zhu Yunhuan entering the hall, she immediately put on a motherly smile, but Zhu Yunhuan didn't buy it at all.
"Crown Princess, I came here to ask where my monthly allowance has gone. "
"As for my four younger sisters, their mother asked me to take care of them before she left the palace to practice, so their monthly allowance can be given to me and I will keep it for them!"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, the smile on her face immediately disappeared, replaced by anger that was difficult to suppress.
"Zhu Yunxun, what do you mean by that? Can I seize your silver by force?"
"Don't you think about it? Food, clothing, housing and other necessities in the Prince's Mansion cost money. What can you do with your monthly allowance?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunhuan interrupted Lu without hesitation.
"Crown Princess, please stop treating me like a child!"
"I only have two sets of clothes each season. They were all bought with money from the palace. I never spent any money from the mansion!"
"Besides that, you've never made me extra clothes, and you've never used your own money to buy me dinner. How can you say that you spent all your money on me?"
Although the Prince's Mansion was separated from the Imperial Palace, it was still located in the Imperial City, and all expenses were covered by the palace.
The so-called monthly allowance for the emperor's grandchildren and granddaughters is purely pocket money given by Mr. Zhu, the grandfather, to the children.
"Just give me one word, and it's over whether I give you the money or not!"
Lu gnashed her teeth in anger.
“No!”
"Even if you say it to the sky, I won't give you this money!"
Zhu Yunhuan sneered when he heard this.
"Lu, this is what you said, let's wait and see!"
"snort!"
When Mrs. Lu saw that Zhu Yunhuan called her Mrs. Lu directly, she stopped being polite to him.
"Zhu Yunxun!"
"I really don't believe it. What do you dare to do to me?"
Zhu Yunhuan curled his lips helplessly.
"Of course I can't do anything to you, but others can..."
"Just wait at home, someone will naturally stand up for me!"
Zhu Yunhuan said this and turned away, making Lu so angry that her jaw dislocated again.
"Oh my... this rebellious son..."
"Call the doctor quickly, my jaw hurts so badly..."
Dongmei quickly ordered someone to call the imperial physician, and then came back to persuade her.
"My Lady, why do you have to be angry with this rebellious son? He just wants money, right? Why don't we just give him the money?"
"Besides, that rebellious son is young and ignorant. He will definitely spend the money recklessly. If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely be unhappy. Doesn't our prince have a better chance?"
Mrs. Lu felt somewhat regretful, but she was too angry just now. If she let him succeed, she would have no place to stay in the Prince's Mansion in the future!
"snort!"
"I just can't stand his face, so I won't give it to him. Let's see what he can do to me!"
"Even if the emperor asks, I have something to say. That rebellious son is still young, and I am afraid that he doesn't know how to save money and spends it recklessly. As an elder, I will keep him for a few years. No matter what, I am right!"
"However, if he comes to me tomorrow and begs me on his knees, I will not only give him his monthly salary, but also give him a few thousand taels of silver and let him go out to drink and have fun!"
When Dongmei heard this, a smile immediately appeared on her face. Her mother finally came to her senses and realized that she was asking me to pass a message to Wang De.
"Don't worry, Madam. I will go find Wang De in a moment and ask him to find a chance to tell his master the truth. Hehehe..."
When Mrs. Lu heard Dongmei say this, a smile appeared on her face.
This is what the big families do, using wine, sex, money and power to confuse the person's eyes, confuse his mind, destroy his will and weaken his bones. After a few years, this person will become a useless person!
Even if the old man is partial to this brat, he will definitely give up on him when he sees him indulging in alcohol and sex!
"Now that you mentioned this, I remembered something. I have to ask my brothers to come over and tell them to find a few good maids for Zhu Yunhuan to take care of his food and daily life, haha..."
While Lu was secretly planning, Zhu Yunhuan, who had returned to his own courtyard, just casually gave instructions to Sandezi.
"San Dezi, help me find a piece of clothing from last year!"
"Your Highness, you have grown so fast recently that you ca n't fit into last year's clothes, right?"
"It's okay, I can still wear it after a little stretch!"
"All right!"
Not long after, Sandezi took out a few clothes from last year from the closet. Zhu Yunhuan picked out one and tried it on to compare, and it was indeed much smaller.
But he didn't care at all. He sent the little girls out, changed his clothes in front of the mirror, and then buttoned his clothes vigorously.
When Zhu Yunhuan, dressed again, stood in front of the huge bronze mirror, he saw that his chest, abdomen and waist were squeezed out by the tight clothes, leaving a lot of swimming circles, as if he had turned into a black Michelin baby.
The sleeves are also very short. Not to mention rolling up your elbows, even with your arms hanging down, your wrists are still exposed.
At this time, several little girls who were lying on the window sill and peeking at him laughed out loud and praised Zhu Yunhuan, saying that he looked like a silkworm or a caterpillar.
Only Sandezi felt a headache when he saw this, and wondered in his heart whether he had done something wrong.
The reason why he deliberately brought up the matter of the monthly allowance was just to stimulate his own prince's "competitiveness", not to let him do something like killing one thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of his own!
If His Highness really wore this outfit when going out, it would become the biggest curiosity in the capital in less than an hour!
Although Mrs. Lu was embarrassed, His Majesty was also embarrassed. He might even punish His Majesty...
"Your Highness, let's change into a different outfit. This one is too eye-catching!"
"Need not!"
"This suit is quite good. It's so shabby to wear it!"
"Since Mrs. Lu wants to pretend to be virtuous, I will make it impossible for her to do so!"
After Zhu Yunhuan said this, he called Sandezi and asked him to bring the jade cabbage, pillow and other things. No matter what, he had to settle tomorrow's bill first.
Seeing this, several little girls hurriedly gathered around and asked questions non-stop.
"Third brother, where are you going? Aren't you going to have dinner today?"
"The imperial kitchen will deliver dinner for you to eat later. Third brother will go and earn money for your dowry!"
