Chapter 444 Jin She Loves Talent (5)
Chu Yunfan then frowned and said in a serious tone: "I remember that this servant is a family boy, go and find out where his family works.
Anyone who can raise such a useless son must be completely incompetent himself, so why not just sell them all off!"
The servant was struck by lightning when he heard these words, and finally woke up from his trance. He fell to his knees with a plop, begging for mercy with tears streaming down his face: "Master, please spare my life, I know I was wrong.
It’s not that I can’t figure it out, it’s just that I was half asleep and my mind is not clear yet. I can figure it out right now!”
Chu Chuan, who was standing by, couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw this.
He never expected that after his young master woke up this time, not only did his eyes become completely different from before, but even his temperament had undergone such a drastic change.
You know, in the past, trivial matters like these were not worth mentioning in the Duke's Mansion, and no one would be punished for them at all.
However, at this moment, Chu Yunfan showed no mercy.
He stared coldly at the servant who kept kowtowing and apologizing, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said indifferently: "If that's the case, then go down and get ten beatings, and learn your lesson!"
Before he finished speaking, the guards standing nearby had already understood what he meant, and at a glance from Chu Yunfan, they quickly stepped forward and dragged the boy away.
After dealing with this matter, Chu Yunfan turned around and looked at Chu Chuan again, and said slowly: "Uncle Chuan, it seems that the matter of the teahouse needs to be properly arranged again.
Even though it is the height of summer, drinking cold water in the middle of the night is not good for your health. "
After hearing this, Chu Chuan was slightly stunned. His young master grew up in this wealthy town, and before the old lady passed away, he was also very particular about his life.
But as I get older, many of my habits have been changed.
Maybe these things have never been changed. His young master is just considerate of his servants, so he basically doesn't mention anything he is dissatisfied with.
Without waiting for Chu Chuan's answer, Chu Yunfan called out again: "Uncle Chuan, but are the utensils used to warm water gone?"
"No, no!" Chu Chuan denied immediately, "I will have the things cleaned out tomorrow, and then replace the young master with a careful servant."
"Well! Go down!" Chu Yunfan waved his hand, "Have someone clean up the porcelain pillows on the ground tomorrow."
"Yes!" Chu Chuan bowed and retreated.
Chu Yunfan lay down in the silk quilt and touched it with some disgust. It was really not comfortable at all. He would have someone change the bedding tomorrow.
Originally, Chu Yunfan thought that the only things he was unhappy about were the things in the room. But when he was getting dressed in the morning, he was dissatisfied again: "What kind of clothes are these?"
Chu Chuan hadn't seen his young master being so picky about clothes for many years, so he didn't think it was a bother. Instead, he slowly praised "someone": "Young master, have you forgotten that this is made of the material that Miss Shen sent before."
Humph! He said it was for his young master, but he took the good stuff away.
"Shen Yueying?" Chu Yunfan said with some contempt, "Although she is the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor Shen's family background is ordinary. Even if he married that lady later, she is just an ordinary family in the capital. What good people can she know?"
Chu Chuan lowered his head, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Master is right!"
No matter what, being able to "slander" Shen Yueying's image in his young master's heart is a good thing!
The capital was well-informed. On the morning of the second day after Chu Yunfan woke up, someone came from the palace to summon him in, saying that Emperor Hongwen wanted to deal with the matter personally.
However, the time to enter the palace is not immediately, but tomorrow.
Chu Yunfan set off for the palace early in the morning.
When Emperor Hongwen saw Chu Yunfan, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Chu Yunfan, who always liked to wear casual clothes, actually wore the Duke's court dress today. He had a "blood-oozing" bandage on his head, so he didn't wear an official hat.
Even so, Chu Yunfan was wearing a jade hair crown on his head. It looked ordinary, but Emperor Hongwen recognized it.
Huang Longyu's Ruyi Crown was given to the Duke of Chu by the Queen Mother.
It's really strange that this person who used to be frugal has become so extravagant now.
Chu Yunfan first bowed to Emperor Hongwen, and then sat on the specially given chair without any hesitation.
Tutor Shen and his daughter Shen Yueying were waiting outside the palace at this time. When the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict brought them in, Chu Yunfan had already started playing chess with Emperor Hongwen.
"Your humble servant and my daughter pay their respects to His Majesty." Master Shen saluted Emperor Hongwen, "Long live the emperor."
Shen Yueying also kowtowed to Emperor Hongwen.
Just as the father and daughter were about to stand up, they heard Chu Yunfan say in a "confused" voice: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with my title of Duke? Otherwise, why didn't the Shen family father and daughter salute me?"
After these words were spoken, both the Shen family father and daughter were stunned.
Over the years, Chu Yunfan treated Master Shen with respect as a junior, so "some people" had long forgotten about this matter.
"You!" Shen Yueying was so excited that she forgot what the situation was. She stomped her feet in front of everyone and wanted to point at Chu Yunfan and scold him.
