Chapter 2369 Arrange 2 People
Li Shen is definitely not that kind of pervert. He has no interest in seven-year-old children. The reason why he said he liked this little girl was because
He was completely comparing her with his precious daughter Xixi.
In addition, the little girl's life experience is so pitiful that it is inevitable to feel a little pity for her.
He wanted to give some things to the little girl and ask her to stay in Xizhou Prefecture to take care of his house in the future.
There will be someone to serve me when I come back. This girl is weak, but there is intelligence in her eyes.
Li Shen also wanted to bring her back to Prince Ji's Mansion and give her to his son as a maid.
Given the little girl's background, it was a blessing for Li Shen to bring her back to the palace to be a maid.
There are countless people in the world who want to become a maid in the prince's palace, especially in Prince Ji's palace.
This is not a kind of low status. On the contrary, if you can become a maid of Li Shen's son, your value will be more than a hundred times higher.
Just like Chunxiang, Dongmei and Dayuer.
If they had not been taken into Li Shen's employ and released from the palace when they reached the age of marriage, countless officials and wealthy businessmen would have rushed to marry them, and to make them their legal wives.
Anyone who can become Prince Ji's personal maid must be extremely intelligent, well-educated and well-mannered, comparable to the young ladies of noble families.
Add to that the relationship with Prince Ji, who wouldn’t want to marry her home?
Even an ordinary maid in Prince Ji's mansion has many people thinking about her.
The maids in Prince Ji's inner court were all from the palace and were released from the palace only when they were old enough. However, the so-called old age was only between 20 and 35 years old.
It has no impact on marriage and childbirth.
Over the years, the Ji Wang Mansion has never interfered with the marriages of these women. As long as someone wants to go home and get married, the Ji Wang Mansion will give a sum of money as travel expenses and dowry.
In the past ten years, at least a hundred people have done the same.
Even Cheng Chusi, Yuchi Baoqi and other playboys were waiting to take concubines.
Of course, Li Shen would definitely not push his maid into the fire pit.
Dalang of the Zhang family now asked Zhang Laifu to bring his sister to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Li Shen. Although he did not understand what this meant,
But he knew that they would no longer suffer for money, and King Ji would give them food to eat.
"Okay, get up."
Li Shen said softly, and the brother and sister stood up.
"By the way, isn't your mother ill? I'll send a doctor back with you to treat your mother.
Maybe the doctors in Xizhou can't cure it, but my doctors can?"
"Thank you for your grace, Master."
"Thank you for your grace, Master."
The two siblings immediately kowtowed to express their gratitude. The doctors here could not cure their mother's illness, or they did not have the money to hire a better doctor, so the disease was delayed.
This is also normal. At this time, poor people can only endure their illness. If they get better, they will get better. If they don’t get better, they will die.
"Alright, kneeling is not customary in the Tang Dynasty, so don't address me as 'Master' from now on. Just address me as 'Prince' like the other attendants.
If I can truly cure your mother's illness, you two will have nothing to worry about and can focus on serving this king."
Li Shen looked at the two siblings and said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Highness. We will definitely repay Your Highness's kindness." Zhang Lai Fu quickly expressed his opinion.
"Stone." Li Shen shouted and stretched out a hand.
Shi Tou immediately understood and took out a gold bar and put it in Li Shen's hand.
"Use this gold bar to buy some food and supplements and take them back home to your mother. You don't have to rush back.
It won’t be too late for you to come back and work after your mother recovers.
I think this amount of money should be enough for you to use for a few days."
After saying this, Li Shen threw the gold bar to Zhang Lai Fu.
Zhang Laifu reached out to take it. The gold bar was small, only about the size of a finger. It was engraved with the words "Attract Wealth and Treasures" and on the back were engraved the words "Specially Gifted by Prince Ji".
"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness, but how much is this?" Zhang Lai Fu asked awkwardly.
He had seen gold, but he didn't know its value and had never used it.
"This isn't worth much. I'd estimate it's worth around ten strings of cash in Xizhou. If it's not enough, I'll give you another one in two days."
Li Shen felt that ten strings of cash should be enough for Zhang Laifu and his family to spend for a few days. Wouldn't they be back in a few days?
"Ten strings of cash!" Zhang Lai Fu was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the ten strings of cash in his hand.
He had stolen things with great difficulty and only sold them for one string of coins, but now he had ten strings of coins in his hands easily.
While I was shocked by Prince Ji's wealth and power, I also felt a little sad.
Is this what it means to be rich and powerful? If these ten strings of money were used to buy corn, it would be enough for their family to eat for a year.
Eating meat every meal would be enough to last for several months.
"What? Not enough? If not, I still have this." Li Shen asked for another gold bar.
"That's enough, thank you so much, Master... The prince's reward, this money is enough for us to live for a year.
I will definitely get the remaining money back."
Zhang Lai Fu nodded repeatedly.
Li Shen waved his hand and said indifferently:
"You don't need to take the money back. If your mother can be cured, then keep it for her living expenses.
You and your sister will be staying with me and won't be able to go home often.
But don't worry, when the time comes to take care of your mother, I will allow you to go home and take care of her."
"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Lai Fu bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.
"Shi Tou, arrange for two doctors to go home with them. They must provide thorough treatment, no matter how much it costs."
After everything was arranged, Li Shen ordered Shitou to go and see the doctor.
Not long after, the two accompanying doctors came to the front hall. Li Shen gave a brief explanation, and then the two doctors left with Zhang Lai Fu and his sister.
Before leaving, Li Shen called the little girl Zhang Xueqing and put the cakes and dried fruits on the table into a food box for her to take away.
Li Shen discovered that the little girl liked to eat these things very much.
Although he didn't know why King Ji was so caring towards his sister, he still bowed and expressed his gratitude on his sister's behalf.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, there is someone outside who wants to see you."
After the Zhang brothers and sisters left, Li Shen just got up to return to the back house when a guard came in to report.
"Seeking an audience?" Li Shen was stunned. "Do you know the other party's identity and background?"
Normally, if you want to see me, you have to make an appointment and submit a visiting card, unless you need to meet me at the last minute for something.
But if there is official business, they will report their official positions.
"Your Highness, this man said he was a businessman and was summoned by a yamen runner to the government office. But when he got there, no one was there.
That's why he came here to ask to see the prince." The guard reported.
The guards at the gate had already asked about the other party's identity and background.
"Merchant, I summoned you?" Li Shen frowned. When had he ever summoned you? How could he not remember it at all?
Wang Xuance, who was standing by, suddenly reminded:
"Your Highness, could it be the merchant who bought the stolen goods from the Zhang brothers and sisters? I remember Your Highness seemed to have summoned this person."
(I wrote about this brother and sister because I watched a video that moved me deeply. The plot is based on an allusion.)
