"Alas, the sticky dog-skin plaster has finally left. I'm getting fed up with it these days..."
"Someone come!"
Liu Jing muttered something, stood up and prepared to get out of bed, and shouted outside to ask someone to change his clothes.
Xing Bang was accustomed to the Sixth Prince's spontaneous behavior. He had no regard for the ways of the world and spoke and acted entirely based on his personal likes and dislikes.
This life is just a mediocre one.
Soon, Xiaodouzi brought in a basin of clean water, followed by two maids who hurried forward to change clothes for the Sixth Prince.
"Little Korean, I have finally found the right person for what my father has asked me to do. I don't even need to look through the records. I know exactly where to go in the capital and which houses are good..."
"Besides, little Korean, to tell you the truth, I already know the best house that is currently available. You don't need to look around. I believe you will be satisfied."
The Sixth Prince boasted to Xing Bang proudly while changing his clothes.
"Then everything will be at your command, Your Highness."
"But, little Korean, you can't go back to the palace so soon. You have to spend two days with me. I've been feeling depressed these days."
How could Xing Bang not know Liu Jing's little thoughts? The matter at the house was easy to handle. He just needed to take this opportunity to have some fun. And Xing Bang's temper towards him was of course different from others.
"According to your Highness's opinion, there is no need to spend any effort in choosing a house. We can just take a quick look..."
"Haha, little stick, you really understand my mind. If it's little bean, if I don't explain it clearly, his pig brain won't be able to figure it out in three days."
Liu Jing chuckled, and while praising Xing Bang he also mentioned Xiao Douzi. Xiao Douzi, who was standing next to him, had a depressed and miserable look on his face, and was very jealous of Xing Bang.
"Xiaodouzi's legs are still quite agile..."
"That's right, otherwise I would have sent him to the prison to do odd jobs."
Liu Jing didn't hide anything at all.
Xing Bang was really impressed. This kid spoke without thinking. To put it bluntly, he made enemies everywhere with his mouth. If he was not a prince, he would have been killed long ago.
However, it can be seen that Xiaodouzi was not particularly angry or embarrassed. It seemed that he was used to hearing such words.
At this point, Xing Bang really hadn't considered how to settle Xiao Douzi after Xiao Xizi came. Not to mention, Jianlanyuan was a good choice...
There's no need to make things difficult for him. Just let him fend for himself there. If he just does menial tasks as a eunuch, maybe he can live two more years.
Xingbang doesn't accept useless idiots...
After Liu Jing changed his clothes, the maid began to comb his hair.
"Oh, little Korean, I forgot to tell you that I have two mansions for you to choose from. You're lucky. The He family was confiscated not long ago, and the mansion is still vacant for the time being. It's one of the best mansions in the capital. The second choice is the mansion where the former right prime minister lived. Now these two are the largest and most magnificent ones that are vacant."
"However, there is a situation. I want to tell you something. The Right Prime Minister's Mansion has been vacant for a long time. No one has been willing to take over the house. I heard that it is haunted. No one knows the details. It was all spread by the old man, the current Right Prime Minister. He moved out after living there for less than half a month, so no one has ever thought of taking over the house..."
It's really a coincidence. One is the residence of Madam Fanghua's parents, and the other is the house where Nangong Xue once lived.
As for the ghost story, the details are unknown.
"In fact, I want you to choose the house of the Right Prime Minister. Everyone in the capital knows that it is haunted, and no one dares to stay there. I am very curious, is it really the ghost of Prime Minister Li's family that is lingering?"
Liu Jing said with an interested smile.
Damn, I already said it’s haunted, and just to satisfy your curiosity, you want me to prove it for you.
However, Xing Bang doesn't believe in ghost stories...
"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to give me these two houses, right?"
"What's inappropriate? Father once said that he would confer a title of nobility upon a different surname. What's so great about a house? Besides, Father didn't give any instructions, so he must choose the best one."
Liu Jing curled his lips and looked indifferent.
Xing Bang knew in his mind that he would definitely not choose the He family's house. It had been at least a month or two, so why was it still vacant? There must be something taboo about it, so he didn't want to offend her.
The Li Mansion can still be considered, but we need to first figure out what the haunting is...
"Your Highness, I've thought about it. Since it's something that His Majesty has asked me to do, I shouldn't neglect it. I'd better go and take a look."
"Okay, no problem. After all, it's you who's staying here. No matter how good my words are, you have to be satisfied."
The Sixth Prince agreed without hesitation.
Xing Bang also realized that as long as Liu Jing liked someone or wanted to do something, he would not be so willful and selfish, and he would be able to put himself in other people's shoes and consider things.
Soon, Liu Jing finished packing and had someone bring two horses. He did not bring any extra people, and the two of them went out together.
"Little Korean, it's still early now, why don't we find a place to have some fun, and then I'll take you to the best restaurant in the capital for a meal. After you're full, we'll go look at the house."
"Then I wonder where Your Highness wants to go to have fun..."
"There are many places to have fun, such as listening to books in teahouses, cricket fighting, cockfighting..."
Liu Jing talked about a lot of things, and it was obvious that these were his usual entertainment programs.
Xing Bang looked down on him and wondered if the Sixth Prince had a physical problem or was suffering from mysophobia. He said so much but not a single one of them had anything to do with picking up girls.
"Your Highness, are these the only places you go to normally?"
Xing Bang still doesn't quite believe it...
"Yeah, isn't that enough?
That's not right, little Korean, don't you want to go to these places?"
"Your Highness, it's not that I don't like going to these places, but I think most of the places you mentioned are where ordinary people stay. If you often stay in these places for a long time, you will learn a lot of bad habits. You should go to more elegant places, where you can make friends with many dignitaries."
Xing Bang didn't want to reveal his thoughts, he just wanted to guide him. To be honest, he really didn't want to go to the places Liu Jing mentioned. They were meaningless...
Anyway, Liu Jing now treats Xing Bang as a brother, and since it comes to fun, it is natural to be more democratic.
Liu Jingwei frowned, then suddenly smiled and remembered something, "Little Korean, I understand, you mean the brothel, right?
It’s not like I haven’t been there before, but I just don’t think it’s interesting. It’s just a bunch of rouge and powder, and even the Jiaofangsi is the same…”
