The courtyard house had three entrances and three exits. Above the main door hung the words "Ji Public House" in gold.
Inside the gate, there were carved beams and painted buildings. There were ancient tea trees planted in the courtyard. It was just beside the Forbidden City. Jiang Feng couldn't tell who used to live here.
The simple sandalwood furniture had a classic Chinese style and was extremely expensive.
Chongzhen gave him a house, but he didn't give it to the servants. He had no choice. The emperor was too poor.
Fortunately, Jiang Feng had brought some people over from Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru's residence. Now, the courtyard was much more substantial. A group of servants followed him and busied themselves with cleaning the courtyard.
As evening approached, the candlelight lit up, and the atmosphere finally became lively.
"Young Master, do you think this thing is okay here?”
"Young Master, it's unlucky to have the bed facing the other side. Why don't we change the corner?”
"Young Master, the residence doesn't have much silver left…"
Jiang Feng had just returned when the group of people asked non-stop questions. Although the courtyard was very big, it was just an empty house.
Chongzhen himself was so poor that he almost sold his underwear. It was unlikely for him to expect the emperor to give him money.
Immediately, he felt a headache.
"Young Master, my name is Sun Deshuan, I'm their butler…"
Just as he was thinking, a forty-five-year-old old man approached him with a flattering smile."Hehe, if Young Master doesn't mind, I can continue to take care of them.”
"Take this."
Jiang Feng glanced at it indifferently and was not in the mood to pay attention to it. He took out a lighter from his pocket and said,"Go and pawn some silver to fill the household.”
"Hey! Young Master, this is good stuff."
Sun Deshuan took the lighter. His eyes lit up and he looked reluctant."Young Master, why don't we keep this treasure…"
"Hurry up and scram."
Jiang Feng was in a bad mood. Poor, he was really poor.
When he first entered the room, he felt that the room was filled with antiques. However, after calming down, he suddenly understood that antiques could not be used as food.
When others were promoted to nobility, they had to get rich benefits no matter what. This was purely a false reputation.
The son of a b * tch emperor was so poor that he was going crazy. Other than rewarding some useless things, he could not do anything else.
In the end, he had to be self-sufficient.
This was unreasonable, damn it!
While she was still in a daze, a pair of slender hands reached out from her side, holding some women's gold and silver jewelry in both hands.
He looked over and saw Liu Ru's beautiful face. She said lightly,""These aren't Lord Qian's things, but what I've accumulated over the years. I can at least sell them for some silver, so don't let the family starve first.”
"Um…"
"What do you take me for?" Jiang Feng stared at him in surprise.”
"Be my master."
Liu Ru rolled her eyes."I was originally a prostitute by the Qinhuai River. I was fortunate enough to meet Lord Qian and redeem myself. I thought I could be a good woman, take care of my husband and teach my children, and live a peaceful life. Now that I've fallen into such a state, if I don't think of a way to save myself, will I really starve to death with you?”
F * ck!
Jiang Feng couldn't take it anymore. Wasn't this treating him like a woman?
"Young Master, Young Master! Empress Yi 'an is here…"
Jiang Feng was just about to argue when he heard the servant's voice. He turned around and saw two palanquins parked outside the door. The curtain was lifted and Empress Zhang Yan of Yi 'an stepped in with an unknown girl.
The servants in the manor bowed one after another. Zhang Yan and the other came straight over.
Seeing this, Liu Ru immediately lowered her head and bowed slightly.""I greet the Empress."
Zhang Yan's aura was very strong. She glanced at him indifferently and then her gaze landed on Jiang Feng."I know that your residence has no money to spend. Even if the Emperor wants to reward you, he has the heart but is unable to do so.”
"Could it be that Empress came to comfort me?”
Jiang Feng's face darkened. I want money, not chicken soup for the soul.
"You are Jiang Feng?"
The young girl standing behind Zhang Yan jumped out in a strange manner. She was wearing a long pink robe and stood elegantly. She was about 16 years old and laughed."So it turns out that the person who has caused a commotion in the palace recently and is rumored to have kidnapped Empress Yi 'an is you?”
"Don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Yan's brows narrowed as she furiously cried out.
"Your humble subject greets Your Highness."
Jiang Feng finally understood. This girl was the daughter of Chongzhen, Princess Changping.
"Jiang Feng, I heard that you have a lot of fun things to do. Is that so?”
Princess Changping took out some gold, silver, and jade jewelry as if she was performing magic. She said playfully,"If you have something good for me, I can give you these. How about it?”
"Chenchen, don't mess around."
Zhang Yan snapped at Zhu Yunya, her beautiful eyes filled with gentleness."These things have been with me for many years. Take them and exchange them for some silver…"
"F * ck!"
Jiang Feng was really not calm this time. After making a scene for so long, wasn't this clearly making him live off a woman?
She was an empress, a princess, and a famous prostitute.
"This place is at the foot of the emperor. The emperor may be poor, but the officials are not. Since I can raise money for His Majesty's army, how can I starve myself?”
Jiang Feng's little pride was immediately disgruntled. He scratched his head and said,"Dare I ask Princess, are you willing to rob the rich and help the poor with me?”
"Alright, alright…"
Princess Changping didn't even think about it as she danced excitedly."Hehe, Jiang Feng, you're really fun. There was one person in the city who was very rich.”
"Who is it?"
"Tian Hongyu."
“……”
Once the princess finished speaking, Jiang Feng became excited."Does he have a maid called Chen Yuanyuan in his residence?”
"Chen Yuanyuan? I don't know…"
"Chenchen, enough."
Princess Changping and Jiang Feng echoed each other, causing Zhang Yan to be furious. She said angrily,"Jiang Feng, Tian Hongyu is Noble Consort Tian's father. If the Emperor knew about this, it would be a huge disaster.”
