Zhang Shixun looked miserable and said to Zhao Kai, "Your Highness, did you hear that? My silly cousin said he agrees to this deal."
"Ah!" Zhao Kai and others looked at each other, all stunned.
When Zhao Kai heard that the deal was actually done, he could hardly believe his ears.
Is this a deal?
Zhao Kai asked, "Master Zhang, are you sure you want to change this manor?"
"Since my cousin has agreed, I have no objection."
"But..." Zhao Kaijue pulled him aside and whispered, "Your cousin is mentally ill. You don't have to listen to him. If you refuse this deal, I will definitely not blame you."
"Don't think about it. He's ill and quite pitiful. Since he likes this manor, just fulfill his wish and buy it for him to play with. Just as a way to cheer him up."
Buy a Zhuangzi for people to play with, and see things they have never seen or heard before.
Zhao Kai really couldn't understand these two brothers, but since they agreed, he had no reason to refuse. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, so it's not impolite to talk about it.
"Or, I can compensate you with some more money." Zhao Kai felt a little guilty.
"No, let's do as we agreed beforehand."
"This... okay." Zhao Kai had no choice but to agree. He really didn't want to take advantage of this.
Seeing that he was a gentleman, Zhang Shixun had an idea: why not use his status and connections to sell some of the things he had.
This village is too dilapidated and there are too many places where money needs to be spent.
"Your Highness, I'll be honest. From the moment I saw you, I was captivated by your charisma." Zhang Shixun began to charm him. "You are elegant, graceful, knowledgeable, and talented..."
This flattery is so disgusting.
Wang Dong turned his face away, feeling embarrassed for Zhang Shixun.
"Mr. Zhang, you are too kind." Zhao Kai said modestly.
As a prince, he was used to hearing flattery, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Zhang Shixun said.
"...What's most commendable is that, despite being a noble prince, His Highness remains humble and sincere. Take our current transaction, for example. From the outset, His Highness was forthright and honest, telling me the true state of the manor. And after the transaction was completed, he even offered to compensate me, fearing I'd be at a disadvantage. Honestly, I'm deeply touched."
Even Zhang Shixun himself felt disgusted by what he said.
However, it is not excessive to flatter someone a little in order to trick him into buying something.
"We still have a few rare treasures in our hands. How about asking Your Highness to take a look at them and give me an estimate of their value?"
When Zhao Kai heard the word "rare treasure", his eyes lit up immediately and he asked hurriedly, "Do you have any other treasures?"
"Of course, my family has been traveling overseas since our great-grandfather. Over the generations, we have accumulated some rare treasures. We brought them all back this time."
"Okay, if you want to sell your treasures, just come to me and I will help you sell them at a good price." Zhao Kai's mind became active. He had seen with his own eyes the bracelets and earrings that Gao Qiu presented to his father. They were definitely rare treasures, and he was extremely envious at the time.
Zhao Kai had seen those two treasures on his father's desk yesterday.
I heard that my father was planning to give one to Li Shishi, but it seems that he hasn't given it away yet, or he doesn't plan to give it to her anymore.
It was a pleasant surprise to be able to get the princess's hairpin this time.
Today Zhang Shixun came to him on his own initiative, so of course he would not refuse.
Zhang Shixun was very happy to see Zhao Kai agreed.
"Your Highness Prince Yun! Since both of you are satisfied, go back and sign the land deed." Gao Yanei urged.
Prince Yun said, "Okay! Let's go now."
Just when they were about to get started, something went wrong with Wang Dong.
"I won't leave. I want to stay here," said Wang Dong.
"This place is in a dilapidated state. There is no place to live. What are you doing here?" Zhang Shixun asked.
"I live in Li Shiyi's house. He has two empty rooms."
"You can't accomplish anything here, so why don't you go back and come back when everything is ready."
"I need to conduct on-site surveys and make advance plans."
The guy's reasons were very sufficient, and Zhang Shixun couldn't persuade him anymore.
Wang Dong added, "You have to hurry up and sell the treasures. Raise the money for me quickly. I need it within the next two days!"
Zhang Shixun frowned. "In order to trick Prince Yun into buying something, I even swallowed my pride and flattered him... You heard it just now, how corny those words were."
Wang Dong laughed dryly: "Of course I heard it, but what you said is not corny enough. It would be better to be more flattering."
"No need, we have no trouble selling our treasures."
"I hope to sell it in a day or two."
As the two were talking, Gao Yanei urged loudly, "Brother, it's time for us to go."
Zhang Shixun waved at him and asked Wang Dong, "Where did you put those treasures?"
"It's all in my travel bag under my bed."
"I understand... I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself." Zhang Shixun mounted his horse and said to Prince Yun, "Your Highness, let's go."
After they rode out of the village, Prince Yun said, "Your cousin is really confused."
"I have no choice. All my brothers are dead, and he's the only one left. I have no choice but to accommodate him in every way."
"Well, family affection needs to be carefully taken care of. We can't be like our emperor..." Zhao Kai stopped talking halfway.
Zhang Shixun guessed what he wanted to say, which was nothing more than that the royal family had no brotherhood, father-son love, or husband-wife love, but only struggle and game for power.
After walking for a while, Zhang Shixun said, "Your Highness, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Tell me, I will help you as long as I can."
"Please send someone to take the trouble to deliver my cousin's things."
"It's just a small matter, not really a big deal... Zhao Bantou, come here."
Zhao Bantou heard Prince Yun calling him and hurried over from behind, "Your Highness, what are your instructions?"
"Go back later and deliver something to Mr. Zhang's cousin."
Zhao Bantou agreed repeatedly.
"You go ahead and find a carriage after entering the city. Wait at the door of Master Zhang's house first, and load the carriage as soon as he arrives." Prince Yun said.
"Okay! I'll go right away." Zhao Bantou saluted on the horse and urged the horse to go.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Shixun bowed.
"It's just a small thing, no need to thank me."
After returning to the city, I went to Prince Yun’s Mansion to sign the contract first.
After finishing his work, Zhang Shixun, still thinking about delivering something to Wang Dong, said goodbye to Prince Yun and hurried back to Jinqian Lane.
Zhao Bantou had already found a carriage and was waiting in front of the door.
Zhang Shixun packed Wang Dong's bedding and clothes, and put other daily necessities into a wooden box and loaded them into the car.
He took out a large piece of silver and gave it to Zhao Bantou, asking him to buy some food for Wang Dong on the way.
Zhao Bantou agreed and drove away in the carriage.
After finishing these things, Zhang Shixun ate some food and went to the second floor of the back house with his bedding.
