"Thank you two young men for saving my sister. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't despise it."
Tian An looked at the gold on the table and wanted to say that she didn't mind it at all, but the hand she stretched out pushed the gold forward.
Just kidding, gold is good, but she is short of more than just money. She has inquired about it, and without connections, even if you have money in the capital, you may not be able to buy a house or land. What's more, they are unfamiliar with the place and can easily be cheated if they are not careful.
Now that she finally had a way, of course she had to secure a house first, and she had a feeling that she would get a great bargain today.
Tian An cleared his throat and said pretentiously: "I just saw injustice and helped. It's too..."
Even though he had already confirmed the man's identity in his heart, Tian An still looked at Zhao Yiming and cautiously asked him for confirmation.
Zhao Yiming received Tian An's gaze and bowed to the man in front of him: "I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince also nodded at him.
Although he had already guessed it in his heart, Tian An's heart still jumped uncontrollably when he saw him admit it personally.
He roared inwardly, "Oh my god! It's a living prince! If nothing unexpected happens, he'll be the future ruler of the world, the kind who can take lives."
"An An" saw Tian An distracted, and Zhao Yiming gently pulled her arm.
Tian An came back to his senses instantly. "I just wanted to help those in need when I saw them. Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite. I won't ask for the gold. If it's convenient for you, please help us buy some land and a house!"
Then he added: "We will pay for it ourselves."
Yaoyao was also helping out, "Brother Crown Prince, please help Sister An An and the others! They are with so many people, all outside the city. If they don't have a house, the uncles guarding the city won't let them in. They are so pitiful."
"Sister?" The prince looked at Tian Andao.
"Haha!" Tian An smiled awkwardly. "I'm out and about!"
The prince must be a sister-con. As soon as Yaoyao opened her mouth, his defense was instantly broken and he agreed without thinking.
Turning to Tian An, he asked, "How much land do you want to buy, and how big a house do you want?"
Tian An calculated his assets and said, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness. We don't have much money, only 6,000 taels. Of course, the more land, the better. As for the house, the bigger the better."
The prince twitched his lips. Did she think the fields and houses in the capital were all cabbages? The more the better, and six thousand taels.
In fact, Tian An had at least eight thousand taels on him, but she felt that since the other party was the prince, the whole world would belong to him in the future, so it should be fine if she gave him an internal price!
The prince regretted it so much that he should have just given Tian An the gold.
After waiting for a long time for him to express his opinion, Princess Yaoyao, the little assist expert, came online again: "Brother Crown Prince, six thousand taels can buy a lot of land and a very large house! Sister An An has a large family, and the small house is not big enough for them."
The sister-confused prince continued to talk, looking at the official beside him and said, "Master Zhang, we have a budget of 6,000 taels, a large house, and good farmland. Do you have any suggestions?"
Zhang was stunned. Damn it! How could such an unfortunate task fall upon him?
"Six thousand taels, six thousand taels..."
Suddenly, Master Zhang's eyes lit up, "Your Highness, a house with three entrances was just sealed off on Donglin Street a few days ago, and it hasn't been sold yet!"
"Third time?" The prince's voice was a little cold.
Zhang Daren was so frightened that his heart trembled three times. Six thousand taels could not buy three pieces, but...
The prince was thinking in his mind. The house was sealed because of official corruption. This matter involved a lot of people. Other officials were too busy trying to avoid suspicion to dare to buy the house.
As for the merchants, they are not qualified to live there at all, so the house will be left idle and it would be better to sell it to them.
Right now, the disaster is rampant and the treasury is empty. If the vacant houses are sold, the money can be recovered. Although it is a bit of a loss, the other party has saved his precious sister, which is priceless.
Just as Mr. Zhang was worrying about his official hat, he heard the Crown Prince say with satisfaction, "Well, that house is nice. That's it."
Just as Master Zhang was breathing a sigh of relief, he heard the Crown Prince ask again, "What about the fields?"
He could only muster his courage and tremble as he spoke: "Also sealed were several farms outside the capital. One medium-sized farm was 800 mu, one small farm was 500 mu plus a barren mountain, and there was a large farm farther away with 1,200 mu."
After listening to Lord Zhang’s introduction, the prince looked at Tian An and let her choose for herself.
Tian An still has self-knowledge, "The youngest one will do. We have already taken great advantage, so we can't make things too difficult for the prince!"
It looked like a concession, but Tian An actually felt that the smaller one wasn't necessarily any worse. After all, there was still a barren mountain! As long as it was managed well, it could make more money than the fields.
Seeing that the house and the land had been finalized, the prince politely asked, "Do you have any other difficulties? Tell me and I will help you if I can."
Tian An thought about it and realized that they did have a problem. It was a tricky problem, but the prince could definitely help.
She instantly smiled like a flower, "Your Highness, you are truly a prophet! We actually have a small favor we would like to ask you for!"
The prince's lips stiffened, "Tell me!"
"Well, my brother Yiming was supposed to enroll at Songshan Academy in September, but because of the disaster in his hometown, he delayed us all, so he only arrived in the capital now. Your Highness, could you please…"
The prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't money, he was glad. He readily agreed, "I'll personally write a letter to the dean explaining the reason. You should report as soon as possible."
Everything was resolved, and Tian An finally had a happy ending.
The prince turned around and gently coaxed Yaoyao: "Yao'er, can we go back to the palace now? Father and the others are waiting!"
Yaoyao nodded, "Okay, but I'm in this state now, I'm afraid that my father and the others will worry."
"Then I will send someone to the palace to report the news first. We will go back after you are clean." The prince said good-temperedly.
Lord Zhang was also very considerate and immediately ordered people to prepare.
Yaoyao looked at Tian An and the others, who were also covered in dust. "Brother Crown Prince, can Sister An An and the others come with us? Just now at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate said we were refugees, and we were almost unable to get in."
The prince took one look at Lord Zhang and immediately understood, and quickly asked his servants to prepare.
At the same time, he did not forget to teach Yaoyao, "The city gate is the first line of defense of the imperial city. They are right to be cautious."
Yaoyao nodded obediently, "I know, Prince, I'm not angry with them! The soldier just now was very patient in registering us. He is a good man."
…
Everyone in the yard was watching the prince and Yaoyao talking. Tian An's feet were almost numb from standing. Fortunately, not long after, the maid came to inform them to go wash up.
