Chapter 255: The Best Family
"What?" The Ninth Prince really didn't expect Li Zijun to have such a strange rule, and then he finally understood that the 'monkey' had just accepted the bounty so happily.
This Edlaide actually used their money to give his own family a 'bonus', and Timothy's nose was about to be crooked!
"What if you don't hand it over to him? Anyway, no one saw me give you a reward just now, so naturally I won't talk about it to anyone else!" said the ninth prince with some anger.
"That's not good! My young master not only asks us to report our income every day, but also checks our expenses every month, and if anyone finds that someone is lying and underreporting, he will immediately break his legs and drive him out of the Duke's Palace!"
"I sometimes suspect that the young master taught us to read and write, just so that we could keep track of our income and expenditure!"
"I don't dare to spend the money, and I have to be scared, so forget it! Anyway, my life in the Duke's Palace is also very leisurely, there is no need to take such a big risk, and after a while, I will send the gold coins on my body to the account office." "The 'monkey' seemed to have finally made up his mind, and nodded firmly.
Although the ninth prince knew that there were many pretentious elements in this performance of the 'monkey', he also had to admit that Li Zijun had a lot to learn from in restraining his subordinates.
As they spoke, they had come to a small guest room with four guards standing outside the door. They saw the 'monkey' walk past and greeted them warmly, but they didn't let them go directly, until the 'monkey' took out Li Zijun's warrant, and the guards let go of the passage into the room, but the two subordinates behind the ninth prince were still left outside the door.
The Nine Princes, who have always been called Hengbahu, have other worries in their hearts. He didn't dispute that.
As soon as the door opened, they smelled a strong smell of medicine. A little maid greeted her when she heard the sound and checked Li Zijun's warrant again. Take them into the room.
While secretly lamenting Li Zijun's ban, the ninth prince carefully checked the situation in the house. After seeing that there was only one person in the room who looked like a doctor besides the maid, Timothy quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"How's he doing?" the Nine Princes asked, looking at the doctor.
The doctor did not know the identity of the ninth prince, and seemed to be deaf to his questioning, looking up at the 'monkey' behind him, his face full of questions.
"Doctor Tang En, this is the Ninth Prince, the young master has already ordered: Our Duke's Mansion is completely open to him! It's not my own intention that I brought the prince here, don't look at me with such eyes anymore!" The 'monkey' said with some grievances.
"So you're the prince! Come with me to greet the prince!" After the doctor and the maid learned the identity of the ninth prince, they immediately bowed to him enthusiastically.
"Excuse me, excuse me!" The Ninth Prince said twice in a row, but the two people in front of him didn't mean to get up.
"Why is this prince so stingy, how can he be exempt from being polite without giving a reward?" The maid behind Tang En couldn't help but muttered in a low voice when he saw that the ninth prince had never moved.
The maid's words made the ninth prince slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the people of the Duke's Mansion were not only greedy for money, but also so bold that they dared to say this in front of him. And what made him even more embarrassed was that he didn't even have a copper plate on his body at the moment. He was stopped by this maid!
"Write down the reward first, and wait a while for this king to let his subordinates send it to you!" The ninth prince holds his own identity, of course, it is not good to be angry with such two subordinates, and face their somewhat scoundrel behavior. He had no choice but to give this statement.
Hearing the promise of the ninth prince, the two of them reluctantly stood up.
"How is this person's situation now?" After this delay, the Ninth Prince had to repeat his question.
"He broke a couple of ribs. They were all straightened and fixed, and as for his wounds, they looked scary on the surface. In fact, it didn't hurt the vital point, and it was all cleaned and bandaged by Lyn. Under normal circumstances, it would not take him a few days to be able to walk on his own. Tang En's medical skills and eloquence are good, and he answered the question of the ninth prince very simply.
"He risked his life to deliver a message to your Grand Duke, and this is a righteous man! You must cure him, and when the time comes, the king will be rewarded!"
"Lord Wang, please rest assured! I will do my best to everyone the general gives me, and this person will naturally be no exception!"
"General?" the Ninth Prince hesitated when he heard Tang En's address to Li Zijun.
"I used to be a subordinate of the General, and after the battle in the north, I took refuge in the Duke's Palace. Tang En saw the suspicion of the Nine Princes, smiled and explained.
"That's what Archduke Ed's is wrong for! How can he bring the military doctor trained in the army to his house?"
"You're wrong! It's not the Grand Duke who pulled me here, it's the Grand Duke who I've come to take refuge in. I can't stay in the army anymore!" Donn said, slightly disappointed.
"I think your medical skills are very good, will the Weishenme army want you?" the Ninth Prince asked, but in fact he had a hard time believing Tang En's words.
"Because of my leg!" Donn said, pulling up his trousers, and a prosthetic leg appeared in front of the crowd.
"Originally, after I left the army, I wanted to open my own medical center, but I didn't expect that I had a serious illness soon after I returned home. It is difficult for a doctor to treat himself, and not only did I spend all my family's savings, but I also owed a large amount of money to my relatives and friends! At that time, although I gradually recovered, my body was still very weak, let alone opening a medical center to treat people, and I could not even sit for a long time. And livelihood became the biggest problem for our family at that stage!"
"In desperation, I remembered what the general had said when he was with us: 'If you have any mountains and rivers in the future and you can't get through, you can come to me!' I was really desperate at that time, and I came to the general's mansion with a hard head. ”
"I realized that the general was still on the run. When I heard this news, my heart immediately went cold! If the general is here, I still have a glimmer of hope; if he is not here, how can anyone take care of the affairs of me, a small person. Don became a little agitated when he said this.
"What I never expected was that the people in the General's Mansion not only received me, but also agreed to lend me money for treatment after reading the documents proving my background!"
"They also promised that when my health permitted, they could work as a doctor in the prefecture and use the income to pay off my debts. ”
"Ed is still a little stingy, and he won't let go of this little money!" the ninth prince smiled and shook his head.
"We are all able to be self-reliant, and we have to accept alms from others?" Tang En disagreed when he heard the words of the Ninth Prince.
"It's okay for someone with some skills like you, what about the others?" said the Nine Princes, who didn't believe Edlaide was a philanthropist, with some disdain.
"There's no skill to learn? Just like Lynn, she almost entered the Duke's Palace with me, and at the beginning, she didn't understand anything, but now she is also very comfortable cleaning and bandaging the wounds of patients?"
"She?" the Ninth Prince looked Lin up and down, and when he saw her innocent appearance, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Lord Wang, I understand what you mean, but I can tell you that you are wrong! Although our general is lustful, he has never acted with his subordinates in the palace! Not only that, but he also has very strict restrictions on his subordinates. The general learned of the fact that the chief of the Seine, who had touched the butt of a fire-burning maid because he was drunk, immediately cut off one of his fingers and drove him out of the house!"
"In addition, as long as we repay the money lent to us by the general, we can leave here at any time, and there is no contract between us!"
"How's your income?"
"The general is very generous to us, and our income is almost the highest in the industry!"
"And those of us who owe money have the advantage of not being able to limit the amount of money we get, and we will only pay half of it!" said Donn, winking at the monkey.
"So what? the rest of the money will not be paid against you, and you will not be able to get it!" said the monkey sourly.
The ninth prince just thought that the 'monkey' remark was fooling himself, and then he realized that the Duke's palace really had this regulation, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart!
"When you pay off all your debts, are you still going to stay here?" The Ninth Prince seemed to suddenly have a strong interest in Li Zijun's practices today, found a chair to sit down, and chatted with Tang En.
"My original idea was to wait for the money owed to the general to be paid off, and then raise some capital to go out and open my own medical clinic. But after working here for a while, I was a little shaken in this idea, and my wife also hoped that I would be able to stay in the ducal palace and continue to serve the general. Tang En didn't expect the ninth prince to be so approachable, and he was willing to listen to his own nagging, and his conversation was also hooked.
"Isn't it higher to open your own medical clinic? How can you and your sister-in-law have the idea of staying here?"
"The general treats us as if they were his own relatives, and I really can't bear to leave here; while my wife is frightened by my serious illness! There is one thing we don't need to worry too much about working for a general: we don't have to worry too much about getting sick! Because everyone who works for a general can enjoy free medical treatment, and if they have worked for more than a certain number of years, our wives and children, both old and young, can also enjoy this treatment. My wife just took a fancy to this, and she insisted that I stay!" Tang En explained to the Ninth Prince with a smile.
Tang En thought that the Nine Princes were patiently listening to him, but he didn't notice that the Ninth Prince's eyes had been staring at the unconscious injured man on the bed......!
